Chapter 1727 Mantra
Compared with the meeting a few years ago, the old man is even older.
However, as before, the old man kept everything clean, and his silver-white hair was not messed up in the slightest.
The bamboo wooden chair swayed gently.
Maybe he sensed that someone was coming. The old man, who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when Li Dong and the others arrived.
The old man's eyesight was much worse than a few years ago, until Li Dong said "Grandma", the old man sat up a little unresponsively, then smiled on his face, looked at Li Dong and said, "Little Dongzi?"
Li Dong responded, squatted down, amplified his voice slightly, and said with a smile on his face, "Grandma, I'm here to see you!"
"Little Dongzi is here, where is Ah Fang?"
The old man searched around behind Li Dong, but he didn't see Cao Fang, but the old man was not in a hurry, and turned back and shouted: "Da Hai, Xiao Dongzi is here!"
Seeing this, Li Dong was not in a hurry to greet his grandmother, he reached out and waved to the plainclothes bodyguards not far away.
Seeing this, Tan Yong turned his head to look at several people and said, "Go to the supermarket and sit there, there is food over there."
Several people nodded, and quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
In the small building, after a while, a mountain man in his fifties hurried out.
Seeing Li Dong, Cao Yunhai was overjoyed and said loudly, "Dongzi is here!
You baby...why didn't you say hello before you came!
Come in the house, come in the house, Fengzi fuck, Dongzi is here, come out! "
Li Dong stood up and said with a quick smile, "Uncle, I happen to have something to do. I've been too busy these past few years, so I just came here this time, so I stopped by to see grandma and uncle, and I didn't have time to say hello... "
"I know you're busy, I know you're busy, you see what's happening, come in, come in and drink some water..."
Li Dong's uncle was a little at a loss, and kept greeting him.
Even though he still lives in the mountains, the mountain people are different now.
Shitongzhai is not really a deep mountain and old forest, and there is also electricity here.
And with electricity,
Then there is TV.
With TV, the man who has been caring about his nephew can often see his nephew in the news programs or economic columns of some channels.
Big shot, real big shot!
For generations, the Cao family had never seen such a big shot.
People in the mountains who are not related to Li Dong may not care about Li Dong. In addition, people like Li Dong still appear on the Internet. Mountain people are not very good at surfing the Internet, so the attention is not high, even if Li Dong sometimes will be in the news.
But for those who are familiar with Li Dong, or his family members, every time he sees his nephew in the news, it will make this mountain man feel aloof.
So Cao Yunhai was really excited and at a loss when he saw Li Dong actually came to his house.
As Cao Yunhai shouted, soon, another person came out from the room.
Cao Feng's mother, with the same expression as Cao Yunhai, even more reserved, greeted Li Dong for a while, not knowing what to say at all.
And Li Dong had no way to change this, he could only smile softer, talk a few words about Cao Feng and Lin Meng, and talk about the children in the family, which gradually made them calm down.
Then, no matter what Li Dong tried to persuade, Cao Feng's mother, his eldest aunt, hurried out with a basket, probably to prepare dishes.
And Cao Yunhai was also busy, boiling water and making tea, Li Dong couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
After a lot of trouble, Li Dong's second uncle's family, that is, Cao Yu's parents, also rushed over.
Except for these relatives, the people in the mountain village were all relatives, and soon everyone in the village knew that the promising child of the Cao family had arrived!
The son of Cao Fang, who everyone thought died outside or was abducted somewhere, is here!
In the past few years, Cao Fang has also been here several times. Many people know that she has a promising son.
Now we know that this powerful man is here, and the woman who opened the supermarket at the entrance of the village made a publicity, and Cao Fang's son brought a lot of people, maybe they were bodyguards. It's full.
As for Li Dong, besides smiling to greet people, he didn't have time to communicate with grandma.
People in the village may not know Li Dong, no matter how famous Li Dong is, he is outside.
People in the mountains don't pay much attention to these things, and there is some difference between me and the TV, and almost no one recognizes that this young man with a stiff smile is the amazing capable man Li Dong in the mouths of their children!
There are not many young people in the village, and most of them have gone to work in the mountains. Even if there are some who stay at home, they seldom come out to join in the fun like the old people.
So despite the large number of people, no one recognized Li Donglai.
...
After chatting for a long time with this group of uncles and aunts who rely on their own guesses, Li Dong himself didn't know what he was talking about.
Not many older people can speak Mandarin, but young people are okay, almost everyone can speak Mandarin. The woman who runs the supermarket can also speak Mandarin because she wants to do business with foreigners, but other people communicate more in local dialect.
Everyone can understand Mandarin, and they can understand what Li Dong said, but what they said, Li Dong is probably guessing.
However, Li Dong still has some ability to talk to people when he sees them.
Although the language between the two parties was not very smooth, Li Dong's words still made everyone feel that Cao Fang's son was really a capable person!
After watching the excitement, the uncles and aunts quickly scattered away. The old Cao's house was going to cook, and if they stayed there, they would be suspected of eating.
After everyone left, Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until this time that Li Dong had time to continue communicating with his grandmother.
The old man was still the same as before, continuing to sit outside the door and bask in the sun.
Even though his grandson is here, the old man has always looked so calm, and Li Dong is not surprised.
Finding a small stool made by himself, Li Dong sat down beside the old man.
After chatting with his parents for a while, and talking about his wife and daughter at home, Li Dong took out his mobile phone and showed some photos and videos to the old man.
There was a smile on the old man's face, and he rarely praised a few words such as "the child is cute".
After chatting for a while, Li Dong waited for his uncle to go to work, and then said softly: "Grandma, do you still remember what you told me back then?"
The old man looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Li Dong said softly: "You asked me if I had a good life in the previous life, and you also said that I will suffer a catastrophe in ten years, and you will pray for me for ten years.
I've been thinking about this for years, can you tell me more about it? "
The old man seemed to have forgotten it. After a while, he smiled and said: "Well, my mother-in-law remembers this. She prays for you every year and keeps you safe..."
The old man seemed a little rambling at the moment, but he failed to answer Li Dong's point.
Li Dong couldn't help but said again: "Grandma, then you ask me about my previous life..."
At this time, the old man looked at Li Dong in surprise, and after a while, he grinned and said: "The past life is the result of the future life, the past life is good and the present life is evil, the past life is poor and the present life is rich.
When you were a child, your mother-in-law saw your face.
When the baby was young, the imprint of the previous life was still there, and my mother-in-law saw that you were mean at that time..."
According to what the old man said, she had seen Li Dong when she was a child. Li Dong was not a rich man. To put it bluntly, he was not much different from a broom star.
So when he was still young, the old man asked Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan to give the child away.
Because of this, Cao Fang had a bad fight with her mother, and she was unwilling to go back for many years.
The last time the old man went to Pingchuan, he looked at Li Dong again, and found that Li Dong's heaven was full, square and round, which was very different from when he was a child.
According to the old man, this person's face generally remains the same, but Li Dong is different when he grows up and when he was a child.
So the old man wondered if Li Dong's previous life had changed.
The mysterious and mysterious statement can be explained that in the understanding of the elderly, people's past lives, present lives and futures all exist in one dimensional space.
The fate of the previous life has changed, and the current life will also change.
According to the old man, Li Dong suddenly changed his fate in this life, did he suffer a serious crime in his previous life, or something happened suddenly, so he subconsciously asked such a sentence.
In the eyes of the elderly, this kind of sudden change in fate is not sustainable, so there is a saying of catastrophe.
Enjoying the wealth and honor that should not be there, it will definitely shorten your life.
It is said once every ten years, that is just a general statement, but the old man said that after ten years, this life of wealth and honor is settled, so she wants to pray for Li Dong for ten years, so that this life of wealth and honor can stay...
Some words were said by the old man, and some were analyzed by Li Dong himself through the old man's ambiguous words.
When the old man finished speaking, Li Dong was already in a state of confusion.
The co-author asked me "how was your life in the previous life?", because I felt that I should not enjoy wealth in this life, and that I had suddenly suffered a serious crime in my previous life?
What heaven is full, isn't this what fortune tellers say on the street?
When I was a child, my family was poor, and my mother didn’t have enough milk. Li Dong heard from his mother that he was frighteningly thin when he was a child. The high browbones, deep eye sockets, and thin corners in his grandmother’s mouth...couldn’t be from starvation?
When grandma saw him again, when Li Dong was rich, he ate well and drank well, he grew a little rounder, and he became full of heaven?
Li Dong was still in a trance, and Cao Yunhai, who didn't know when he came over, said casually: "Dongzi, your mother-in-law can't tell the face, how many people have you seen in these years, and a few years ago, she said that the third son will be rich and honored all his life , As a result, the third son had a car accident last year and left at a young age.
Hey, few of your mother-in-law's faces are correct these years, and we took it seriously when we were young..."
Cao Yunhai babbled for a while, and couldn't help talking about his old lady's past. When he was a child, the old man's family was considered wealthy, and he had read books and could read.
I don't know where I got a few ancient books back. It was probably found by the old man who hid them when the four old books were broken.
Since then, the old man likes to flip through books when he has nothing to do, and likes to read fortune-telling for people when he comes and goes.
I don't know what religion the old man believes in. Buddhism and Taoism are nothing like it. According to the old man himself, he is a god. Anyway, Cao Yunhai didn't understand the relationship between fortune-telling and astrology.
When I was young, I probably got a few things right, but the old man believed in this thing more and more, and became more and more crazy.
The family can't control it, and the old man doesn't listen to it.
Fortunately, most of the old people stayed in the cottage, and everyone in the village knew about it, and didn't take her words seriously. In addition, the old man didn't charge money for fortune-telling, and no one came to find fault, so the family let her go went.
Back then, they had a falling out with their daughter because of facial features, Cao Yunhai brothers and sisters blamed their mother a lot.
But the old man was fascinated and took it seriously, and it was useless to blame him.
Except for this bad point, the old man is pretty good in other respects, so Cao Yunhai and the others ignore those nagging words now, and get along well with the old man.
At the end, Cao Yunhai was still a little helpless and said: "A few years ago, your mother-in-law said that I would be robbed in three years. I didn't believe it, but your aunt believed it. That year, she refused to let me go out to the county They are not allowed to work here.
It turned out to be a catastrophe, the whole family almost starved to death..."
Cao Yunhai said so much, all in front of the old man, but the old man didn't care at all, and still muttered: "That's God's blessing!"
Cao Yunhai smiled bitterly, turned to Li Dong and said, "Dongzi, your mother-in-law is like this, don't take anything to heart.
Let's eat, let's have a few drinks at noon..."
At this moment, Li Dong's face turned green, and he couldn't help asking: "Uncle, grandma also said that you have a calamity?"
Cao Yunhai looked at him curiously, nodded and said nothing.
Li Dong had a toothache again and said, "Did grandma tell anyone, asking him if his past life was good?"
Cao Yunhai said with a silly smile: "This is an old saying, if you lived well in the previous life, you will live badly in this life.
If you had a bad life in the previous life, you can live a good life in this life.
Everyone in the village knows that when your mother-in-law asks this question, you just say that your previous life was not good, so you will be able to live well in this life..."
Li Dong wants to cry but has no tears!
Co-author Is this a catchphrase?
But when you meet such a weirdo like yourself, you take it seriously because of yourself?
Li Dong rubbed his cheeks vigorously, couldn't help but look at the old man again, and said, "Grandma, do you think people can go back to the past from the future?"
The old man calmly said: "This life is determined by future generations."
Li Dong didn't quite understand what he heard, but he generally understood it. The old man said that he could only go backwards, and it was impossible to go forward.
In other words, when the old man asks you how you were in your previous life, I am afraid it is really a mantra.
Li Dong is a little tired. I, Li Dongtian, am not afraid of anything. I have been scared by your old man's words for many years!
But who are you going to reason with?
Find an old man to settle accounts?
Li Dong glanced at his grandmother, and then thought about the consequences, his mother would probably strangle him to death.
Thinking of this, Li Dong wanted to cry more and more, but he was completely relieved. It turns out that scaring himself is the most terrifying thing!
At this time, Li Dong no longer wanted to delve into where those memories came from.
He didn't bother to think about these useless things, maybe they were really dreaming, or maybe there really were gods in this world.
In any case, even if there are gods, they are still far away from him, at least the secular world does not have such messy things.
The old man he had been afraid of was actually just an ordinary person.
When fear comes from the unknown around you, you will feel afraid.
But when these unknowns are all shirked to gods who don't know whether they exist or not, they won't be scary anymore.
At this moment, Li Dong relieved the doubts and worries that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.
Without asking the old man again, Li Dong let out a long breath, enough is enough, this trip was not in vain.
My grandmother is not a fairy, not a witch, not a mysterious person, that's enough.
In the future, whoever asks himself "how was your life in the previous life?", except for the old man in front of you, everyone else will have their mouths full of dog teeth, and they should know whether they have lived a good life.
After figuring this out, Li Dong stretched his waist, and his mood suddenly improved.
PS: Thanks to the very happy and happy boss Xiaoxi for the reward, and there will be another leader in this book! Thank you I think you are the big guy who loves me Wanshang.
It can barely be regarded as filling this hole, urban life is purer, this book does not have any supernatural powers, any metaphysical things, except for the BUG that is too big to be reborn.
