When I was a Taoist

Chapter 1 Something Happened
Social News: In April 2016, 4-year-old Yu Mou and his mother were illegally detained by loan sharks. After the police ignored them, they chose the most extreme way to deal with the problem.Du Mou, who insulted his mother, was killed, and three loan shark members were stabbed. As a result, Yu Mou was sentenced to life imprisonment.

This news has aroused widespread concern in the society, and public opinion overwhelmingly supports Yu.

But you don't know, this is not an isolated case. Five years ago, I also experienced such a thing.

I was only 16 years old at that time, and my widowed mother finally helped me get admitted to a high school in the county.Because my family is two hours away from the county seat, my mother was afraid that I would be too busy, so she insisted on letting me live on campus. I knew it was a lot of money, so when I was off, I would go to a restaurant near the school to work.

It was the eve of Ching Ming Festival, and the school was closed early, so I packed my luggage and went back to the village alone.What I didn't expect was that I actually saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.

The village chief surrounded my house with several big men, and my mother was stripped naked and pinned to the ground.The gate of the house was surrounded by people, but no one came to help.

I will never forget the way my mother looked at me with such despair and guilt.

I rushed up madly, trying to save my mother, but was kicked to the ground.Mother struggled and rushed over, protecting the fists and feet that hit me with her body.

I don't know when they separated, I just remember that my mother hugged me and cried that day.Early the next morning, my mother wore the wedding dress she had when she got married, and hanged herself on the locust tree at the entrance of the village.

At the age of sixteen, I felt hopeless for the first time, but I couldn't cry a single tear.

kill!Kill everyone.

There is only hatred left in my heart, but how can I kill those adults when I am young and weak.

Because people in the village think it is bad luck, no one is willing to help me.I could only put my mother down alone, carried her to the mountain, and buried her next to a willow tree facing the sun.

I walked back home slowly like a walking dead, and the breakfast my mother made for me was still hot in the pot.Yes, even if I die, my mother doesn't want me to go hungry.

There are always a few people outside the house who seem to pass by unintentionally. I know they are afraid that I will cause trouble and are watching me.

I secretly told myself, to be patient, to pretend nothing had happened is to write homework.At night, I got up in the dark, took out the sharpest knife in the house, put it on a stone, and slowly sharpened it.

I know today is not the time to do it, I need to wait.

What I didn't expect was that someone died in the village the next day. He was strangled to death. His face was purple and black, his eyes were spitting out, there were deep finger marks on his neck, and his expression was terrified.

Everyone suspected that I did it, because the person who died was the one who humiliated my mother that day.The village head brought a group of people to my house, kicked open the door, and beat me up.

The village chief said, "Little bastard, did you kill him?"

My mouth was swollen from the beating, and I mumbled, "I hope I killed it!"

In fact, they all knew that I couldn't have killed that person, because I couldn't strangle a grown man silently.Everyone's expressions were somewhat puzzled, more of fear.

The village chief left, but left behind a few people who watched me day and night. What made people panic was that people continued to die in the village.The matter could not be concealed anymore, the village head called the police and took me away as a suspect, who was already dying.

I don't know what the police were doing when my mother was humiliated, but a policewoman gave me some anti-inflammatory pills when I was dying.

Three days later, I was released from the police station with a high fever.I know that the police let me go, not because I was not suspected of murder, but because I had a high fever of [-] degrees, and they were afraid that I would die in prison.

I didn't dare to go back to the village or go to school, so I bought a train ticket to the city with the few dozen yuan I had left.When I got on the train, I passed out.

When I woke up again, I was in a hospital with a thick cast.A man with a lazy expression beside him was peeling an apple with a knife.

The man watched me wake up, and while eating an apple, he said to me: "My name is Gao Liang, from now on, you are my apprentice." After speaking, he pinched his nostril with his little finger and flicked the booger. to my drip bottle.

Gao Liang, a man who changed my life is also my mentor. Without him, I might have died in a stinky ditch long ago.He is what we commonly call Mr. Yin and Yang. It is said that he can watch yin houses, catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, and everything.According to him, it is not easy to make money these days, so he learns what makes money quickly.But in my opinion, he is an out-and-out magic stick, who knows nothing but cheating and abducting.

I once asked Gao Liang why he accepted me as an apprentice. He said: "I was on the train that day and suddenly saw you fainted. I was sent to the hospital for an examination and found out that you had a high fever of 41 degrees, multiple fractures, and internal organs. Bleeding. I think you can live like this, you must be a master of life, so I will accept you as an apprentice, if you are in danger, you can go first."

I:"."

That's it, in the past five years, Gao Liang and I have been cheating around, err, it's 'seeing things'.It's good luck to say that I haven't encountered a real ghost so far.It's not that Gao Liang didn't teach me things, such as observing words and colors, such as juggling and so on, I still know a few tricks.I, who was originally reserved and reticent, was also slicked by him, talking nonsense when I saw people, and talking nonsense when I saw people.

The setting sun outside the window was a bit dazzling, so I reached out and pulled the curtains on the car window.Gao Liang was drooling and sleeping soundly. He drank too much yesterday, and he still hasn't sobered up from his hangover.

This time the client was in Gouzitun, only a few miles away from the village where I used to live.Looking back at the past, what makes me most curious is who killed those people and whether the village chief is still alive.Thinking of this, I clenched my fists secretly.

After a few hours of turbulence, I supported Gao Liang out of the car, and Gao Liang ran to a tree, throwing up in a daze.I looked at the bustle with gloat, and joked a few words from time to time: "If you can't drink, don't drink, look at you, leave me the money for drinking next time, and I will save it for you. When you are old, lie on the bed and move." No, I'll spend money to invite a girl who is eighteen or nineteen to pour you wine."

As soon as Gao Liang heard what I said, he didn't care about wiping the filth off his mouth, and kicked me with a flying kick.I turned to one side, easily dodging this provocative leg.Gao Liang was also unambiguous, his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground, and I burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, I saw a tricycle approaching in the distance.I gave a signal to Gao Liang who wanted to hit me, and this guy immediately switched to master mode.

Not far away, a semi-new tricycle slowly stopped in front of us. A strong and honest man jumped out of the car and asked Gao Liang, "Are you Master Gao? I am the second child of the Gu family. Your name is I'll take care of you, and I'll pick you up into the village."

I know Gu Er, because he is not from a village, and I am not familiar with him. I only know that he is a dutiful farmer.In the past five years, I have changed a lot, and my appearance and temperament have also changed.Gu Er obviously didn't recognize me, and I didn't want others to recognize me, so I silently followed Gao Liang into the car.

In the car, Gu Er briefly talked about the situation. A few days ago, the old man passed away in his family. It was his grandfather. He was in his 90s, so he should be considered a very old man.According to our rules, passing away at an older age is regarded as joy and mourning, and it is a matter of good fortune.Before the old man died, he specially ordered to be buried.Although the state stipulates that cremation is required, the elderly still hope to be buried in peace.Coupled with the fact that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one cares about these things.

But on the day of the funeral, something happened.
