Yin Changsheng

Chapter 14 Dragon

Jiang Li turned a blind eye to my gaze, and continued to talk about Second Grandpa with Grandpa Yao.

However, they also talked about some irrelevant things. After talking for about an hour, Jiang Li got up and left.

After leaving Grandpa Yao's house, I asked Jiang Li explicitly: "Master, why did you give Grandpa Yao a bracelet?"

Jiang Li has his own reasons for doing things, even if it is an extremely small thing, it is absolutely impossible for him to give Grandpa Yao a string of bracelets for no reason.

After hearing this, Jiang Li said thoughtfully: "The people behind the scenes know all about our actions, including your grandfather's private meeting with your mother, and our going to Du Hai's village. Our scope of activities is limited. Limited to this village, only those who are familiar with us to a certain extent will know so much about our affairs, and besides your grandpa Yao and your second grandpa, I can't think of anyone else like this."

This guess is too bold. Although the second grandpa and grandpa Yao are the most suspicious people, they are really our closest people. For so many years, these two brothers of grandpa have helped our family. Big.

I deliberately refuted, but on the other hand, I trusted Jiang Li, so I couldn't say anything, so I could only ask again: "What's the use of that string of bracelets?"

"The people behind the scenes must know some spells. Their identities are either ghosts or alchemists. No matter which of the two, the yin and yang energy will be different from ordinary people. Just look at the color changes on the bracelet. It's gone." Jiang Li said calmly, and then looked at the ditch on the edge of the village, "However, your grandpa Yao's stone is a bit weird."

I also saw that stone just now. The stone is about the size of a fist. The difference from other stones is that Grandpa Yao’s stone is red all over. Although there are many mountains and rocks in the countryside, I have never seen a red stone.

Hearing what Jiang Li said again, I became more curious and asked him, "What happened to that stone?"

"The stone is called cinnabar stone. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a red stone. But in the eyes of alchemists, cinnabar stone is a rare treasure. Usually, we can't draw talismans and make utensils without the figure of cinnabar stone. In the end, Your mountain village is full of yin, it is impossible to produce such pure cinnabar stones, it can only flow from other places, according to what your grandfather said, the cinnabar stones are walking upstream..."

Before Jiang Li finished speaking, I interrupted him and said, "Where there is a rock that goes against the current, Grandpa Yao and the others must be talking nonsense, Master, you even believe this."

Jiang Li said: "Unless the cinnabar stone has an owner, everything in this world has a spirituality, and it only takes a year or two for a person to have a very high spirituality, and it only takes a year or two for animals to have a weaker spirituality, and it takes several years to unlock their wisdom. Other things will also open up their own wisdom, if your grandpa's cinnabar stone has opened up spiritual wisdom, it's a different matter."

"Stones are okay too?"

Jiang Li'en said: "Stones can rarely open spiritual wisdom, because the time period is too long, most of the stones will be eroded in the wind and rain, and it is difficult to stick to that stone. If your grandpa's stone opened spiritual wisdom, If you recognize your master, you may be able to swim against the current."

Jiang Li and I walked and chatted like we were chatting at home until we got back to the house.

Because of a major change in the family, the house was lifeless. Dad sat in the room smoking a cigarette, and grandma sat at the door with a chair, looking up at the sky and humming some weird songs.

A series of things made this supposedly harmonious family become like this. As a member of this family, how could I not feel this change.

Looking at the decadent father and grandma, my heart was pierced like a knife. Jiang Li patted my shoulder and didn't say anything else. About that ditch?"

Dad pulled down the bong, took a puff and exhaled a puff of white smoke, and then told Jiang Li about the ditch.

Although Dad is decadent now, he still answers every question about Jiang Li. After all, Jiang Li is our family's last hope now.

The two of them were sitting in the room talking about topics that didn't interest me, so I took a chair outside the door to accompany grandma. When I saw grandma singing with her face up, I couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, what are you singing?"

Grandma lowered her head when she heard my voice, blinked her eyes for a long time and said to me, "Xiao Wazi, can grandma find you a wife?"

At an ignorant age, I don't know what love is at all. I was just curious about marriage, so I asked my grandma, "Who is it?"

Grandma really shivered and took out a crumpled photo from her pocket. There were two people in the black and white photo, one was my father and the other was my mother.

The father leads a mule, and the mother in wedding dress rides on the mule.

I also saw this photo in Dad's closet. He was wrapped in a handkerchief and put in a box. Inside the box was Mother's bracelet and their marriage certificate.

It's just that I don't understand what my grandma is going to do with the photos of my parents if he wants to find me a wife.

Grandma saw me staring at it for a few seconds, and asked me with a grin: "How is it? Does it look good? That girl looks really good."

I looked at the mother in the photo and nodded. They said that my mother had intellectual problems, but I never thought so. It was born from my heart. My mother has a face that everyone envies. Her IQ must be fine. Yes, just say: "It looks good."

Grandma frowned and stared at me: "Not your mother, look at the girl behind the mule."

I just noticed the scenery behind the photo.

The photo was taken next to my house. There was an oilcloth in front of the house to cover the rain. There were many people busy there, and many people were sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal.

This is a photo taken during a symbolic banquet on the wedding day of my parents. The neighbors and folks who came to the banquet are in the background.

In the corner behind the photo, a little girl was playing with her whip and staring blankly at her father and mother.

Because I was too young, I couldn’t see clearly, but at that time I didn’t know what beauty and beauty were. I only knew whether it was good-looking or not. From a rough look, that little girl was indeed very good-looking. Who would not marry a good-looking girl, just nodded immediately :"OK."

I didn't think about it at all, that photo has been taken for many years, and the little girl in the photo doesn't match my age.

When I was talking to grandma, Jiang Li and my father had already finished talking, and they came out to look for me, grandma caught a glimpse of Jiang Li coming out, immediately reached out and grabbed the photo and put it in her pocket.

Jiang Li was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions, and said to me, "If you have time, take me to the ditch near your village."

I have nothing to do, nodded and agreed.

Before Jiang Li appeared, I was not interested in anything, but now I really like staying with him, not only because of the novelty, but also because of peace of mind.

The ditch next to the village is not far from our home. The ditch has no water on weekdays, but every time it rains heavily, the ditch looks like a small river. Even adults dare not cross the ditch easily. Sometimes we To go to school, we had to place a ladder horizontally on both sides of the ditch, and we stepped on the ladder.

About this ditch, there are many legends circulating in the village. The previous legend that the red-haired ghost showed his feet was also in this ditch.

The stone that Grandpa Yao picked up that can swim upstream is also in this ditch.

As for before, some villagers even dug a well here and dug out a dragon. At that time, a stone with a diameter of about one meter was dug out. They said that there was a snake-shaped pattern on the stone. The people didn't listen, and blasted the stone, only to see a wisp of blue smoke floating into the sky.

As a result, when the rice harvest was approaching, there were two consecutive days of hailstorms. At that time, people and livestock were afraid to go out. Some of the hailstones could be as big as a fist.

After the hailstorm, the grain grains in the village were not harvested. When we went to the mountains to see, we could see the corpses of pheasants and hares in many places on the mountains.

They said that there was a dragon living in the stone, and the villagers blew up the dragon inside, and the dragon was angry, and it came to take revenge on the villagers.

I told Jiang Li about this, and Jiang Li smiled after hearing it: "It's not that mysterious, but there is something more terrifying than a dragon under this ditch."
