In the ward, Chen Dawei, who had just returned to his position, had a sallow complexion and was leaning against the pillow in a daze.
After all, he had been in a coma for a full week and was now recovering from a serious illness. It was normal to feel absent-minded or have difficulty concentrating from time to time.
Yan Shouyi sat next to Chen Dawei's hospital bed, but Chen Dawei didn't respond. It was Yan Shouyi who took the initiative to say hello, and Chen Dawei suddenly woke up.
"Ah, Shouichi."
Yan Shou looked at Chen Dawei, and then stretched out his hand to massage Chen Dawei's arm: "Uncle Chen, you have been in a coma for a week, and the blood and qi in your limbs are not flowing smoothly. You need to massage more in the future to avoid any sequelae."
Chen Dawei looked at Yan Shouyi and showed a kind smile: "We haven't seen each other for so many years. In the blink of an eye, the little kid who loved playing with shit has grown up so big."
Yan Shou made a move and forced out an ugly smile: "Uncle Chen, a hero does not mention his bravery in the past."
"You were really brave back then. You blew up cesspits with firecrackers, peeped at widows bathing, and kicked people's graves and tombstones. You were so wicked and evil. Seeing that you grew up safe and sound, I find it quite incredible..."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
They hadn't seen each other for many years, but as soon as the two of them opened their mouths, countless memories came to mind, as if they were back to the time in Chenjiacun more than ten years ago.
As the two chatted, Yan Shouyi also lost track of time. When he was massaging Chen Dawei's calves, he noticed the scars on his legs.
After Chen Dawei's son died in a car accident, Chen Dawei was so sad that he broke his leg while visiting his son's grave, so he is still a lame to this day.
"Uncle Chen, your legs...hey, we are sorry for you."
The two fell into silence for a long time.
Finally, Chen Dawei let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at the sunset outside the window.
He said to himself: "During the period of coma, I had a dream, a very long dream. In the dream, I returned to Chenjiacun, and my brat graduated from college successfully and drove a BMW car.
He came back to the village to visit me. I took him to your house for dinner. Your grandfather sat in the yard and smoked a cigarette. Your father killed the big rooster that crows most diligently every morning. Your boy was crying.
When I gnawed on the chicken legs, I said they tasted really good..."
"The life in the dream is so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't believe it is real, I don't dare to miss you, I don't dare to hope...I used to hate your father very much, but in the years since I left Chenjiacun, I have
Gradually I figured out a lot. Although your father and I are very different in age,
, but one thing is the same, that is, we all have a common identity - father. If it were me, I would do those things for you, not to mention, I owe him everything. Strictly
To put it bluntly, my son's death was ultimately because of me."
Yan Shou froze on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He didn't understand what Chen Dawei meant.
Everything my father did back then, which caused Uncle Chen to lose his beloved son, was actually for me?!
He asked with a trembling voice: "Uncle Chen, you said my dad..."
"You don't know these things yet?" Chen Dawei said in surprise, "Since you don't know what happened in the past, why do you feel guilty about me?"
"I really don't know what happened in the past," Yan Shouyi said. "Grandpa never mentioned it to me. My dad was also imprisoned not long after you left and has not been released until now."
"I see."
Chen Dawei sighed softly: "They are worried that you are under psychological pressure. Then why are you looking for me again now?"
Just now Long Feicheng told Chen Dawei all about Yan Shouyi's efforts.
Yan Shouyi said: "My grandpa passed away a while ago. The only last words he left behind were for me to come to Rongcheng to find you. Grandpa said that only you can solve my life-and-death calamity."
"It seems that you already know about the calamity of life and death." There was a trace of sadness in Chen Dawei's eyes.
Yan Shouyi nodded silently.
Lu Ban's book is a short method. After learning it, you will suffer from five disadvantages and three deficiencies. Not only that, every third generation of Lu Ban's descendants will face a catastrophe of life and death!
The power of this kind of life-and-death catastrophe is far from comparable to Xia Zhi's. What killed Xia Zhi may have been just a car accident, an accident, or a coincidence, but what the Luban descendants have to face may be
An earthquake, a tsunami, a shocking change!
This is almost a certain death situation for the descendants of Lu Ban!
Perhaps this is God's punishment for the descendants of Lu Ban, and it is precisely because of this that the number of descendants of Lu Ban is so rare that they have even been mistakenly thought to have become extinct in recent years.
According to Yan Shouyi's grandfather, Yan Shouyi's life and death disaster will come when he is twenty-three years old. If Yan Shouyi cannot find a way to solve it before then, he will definitely die!
Now, Yan Shouyi is twenty years old. In three years, the calamity of life and death will come.
So after his grandfather passed away, Yan Shouyi came to Rongcheng alone to look for Chen Dawei, just to find a way to solve the calamity of life and death!
"Shouyi, since your grandfather asked you to come to me, it means that you have gained his approval and he believes that you can be independent. Therefore, be mentally prepared. I will tell you everything about the past."
"good."
Chen Dawei took a deep breath and said:
"When your grandfather and your father came to Chenjia Village, you were still an infant. Because your grandfather was a carpenter and was honest and kind, the villagers welcomed you very much. Later, one time, the shoemaker in the village
My daughter has a strange disease. She has a big tumor on her neck, which is getting bigger and bigger. Look.
It looked like a human face. In the end, the tumor actually grew facial features and could even speak and eat. The villagers were so frightened that they thought the shoemaker's daughter was a monster and wanted to throw her into the river and sacrifice her to the Dragon King. Fortunately,
Your grandfather stopped everyone in time and said that she was haunted by an evil spirit and he had a way to get rid of this monster."
"The villagers didn't believe your grandpa at first, but your grandpa didn't care about them at all. He carried hundreds of herbs back from the mountains and fed them one by one into the mouth of the tumor. The tumor refused all comers, except
When taking one of the medicines, nothing happens with your mouth closed.
If he refused to speak, your grandfather knew that the evil spirit was afraid of this medicine, so he poured medicine into the tumor's mouth after it was dark and the tumor was asleep. The next day, the tumor was poisoned to death. A week later
The tumor disappeared and the shoemaker’s daughter became a normal person.”
"Since then, the villagers have known about your grandfather's magic skills, but your grandfather never mentioned that he was a descendant of Luban. He just worked as a carpenter peacefully. Occasionally, when the villagers provoked unclean things,
Then I came to help. But at that time, our two families were neighbors and we were more familiar with each other. Out of curiosity, I would often lie on the wall and peek at your grandfather and your father. Your grandfather often taught your father some strange knowledge.
I was also fascinated by what I heard, and I was yearning for it. But accidentally, your grandfather discovered it, and your grandfather asked me to come down from the wall. There was no need to cover up, and it was okay to watch in plain sight. Later I just
I know that your grandfather was teaching the contents of Lu Ban's book to your father at that time, and I am not a descendant of Lu Ban. Even if I listened to the whole process, I could only learn a little bit. Things like Xiaoliu Ren's magic, is it?
It’s absolutely impossible to learn.”
"When you were three years old, my son went back to the county town to watch a movie, but he stayed out all night. The next morning, the whole village went out to look for someone. As a result, your father and I found my son at a grave in the mountains. At that time, I
Your son is no longer breathing. Your father said that he was captured by the nearby ghosts and used as a scapegoat. It is not impossible to save people, but even if he is rescued, because his fate has been modified, he will appear again sooner or later.
Accidental death.”
"Your father advised me not to forcibly change my son's destiny, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. But I couldn't think so much at the time. I just asked your father to take action. After thinking about it again and again, your father decided to help and tried every means to save my son.
I was brought back from hell. As a result, that night, you
I accidentally fell into a water tank and almost drowned in it. After I was rescued, I fell seriously ill and it took me half a year to recover. Later I learned that saving people will also lead to retribution. You
Dad took action forcefully and rescued my son, which resulted in you suffering and almost losing your life."
"But after that incident, your father and I had a common secret. Because we were both people who had modified our destiny, your father began to secretly teach me the magic of Xiaoliu Ren, and also warned me
What will be the consequences if I learn it? I am obsessed with this art, and I also remember that my son will die in an accident sooner or later, so no matter how your father persuades me, I am determined to learn Xiaoliu Ren Shenju in order to protect my son.
Peace, but... nature plays tricks on people!"
"That year, my son had just been admitted to college. I was so happy that I held a banquet and drank with your father until late at night. Both of us were a little drunk. But at that time, your father suddenly knelt down to me.
Please ask me to use Xiao Liuren's magic to calculate a hexagram for you. This hexagram is related to your life and death. He also told me that after calculating this hexagram,
I will also suffer retribution, but your father and I have been in love for so many years and are as close as brothers, so how can you refuse? So, with the help of wine, I made a fortune for you. Who knows what will happen the next morning?
News of my son's death came... Neither your father nor I expected that the retribution for fortune telling for you would be my son's life!"
"At that time, even though your father kept apologizing, it was too late to say anything. I was disheartened. After burying my son, I left Chenjiacun. Apart from paying tribute every year, I never wanted to return to that sad place.
In a flash, ten years have passed. Now when I think back on those past events, I feel that everything seems to have its own arrangement. What causes are sown and what results are obtained. Everything is intertwined, and there is no escape...
