Early the next morning, grandma was sent up the mountain. At noon, Hu Haiyan was also taken away by the people who came. Grandpa and the villagers were also very angry when they learned the truth. Hu Haiyan was taken away. Uncle. ......
This time Meng Changqing didn't stop them and let them go.
Uncle Zhang was reprimanded by the villagers and hid in the house, closed the door and never saw anyone again, and the people in the village gradually calmed down.
Grandpa seemed extremely lonely in the next few days. Seeing his sadness, Meng Changqing tried to persuade him, but every time he only smiled at Meng Changqing and said, "I'm fine, let Haiwazi take you around. go."
The third day after grandma's burial, plus the four days of vigil, happened to be the first seven days of her resurrection.
On this day, grandpa got up early in the morning and began to prepare meals. He also prepared a pair of chopsticks for grandma at noon. The meal was very aggrieved.
On the first seven nights, when the three of us were sitting and chatting at home, a villager ran to grandpa's house in a panic and said, "Go and see, Mu Wantong's cattle are dying."
After hearing this, we rushed to the cattle pen immediately.
When we went, the big yellow cow was lying in the cow pen and kept humming. He opened his eyes immediately after hearing our voice, and then tears rolled out of his eyes.
Originally, Uncle Zhang was the one who saw the doctor for people and livestock, but now he kept his door closed and didn't see customers, and he was very worried about what the villagers accused him of a while ago.
Seeing that the villagers had nothing to do, Meng Changqing volunteered and said, "Let me take a look."
These days, Meng Changqing has left a deep impression in the eyes of the villagers. They are willing to believe in Meng Changqing. In fact, he does know a lot about Taoist mountain doctors.
Meng Changqing took a look in front of the big yellow ox, then touched its stomach a few times, after touching it for a while, he withdrew his hand and said in shock: "It's about to give birth."
We were all astonished when we heard this. The cows in the village are kept separate on weekdays. How could they be pregnant?
Before we had time to express our doubts, Grandpa Ye suddenly ran over and said, "Mu Wantong called just now, and she is coming back soon."
Hearing that Second Mistress was coming back, no one else showed any special expressions, only Meng Changqing and I were stunned for a moment, but now we still have things to do at hand, and we don't have time to take care of more things, so we can only put aside the matter of Second Mistress' coming back first. on the side.
The big yellow cow was lying weakly in the cow pen, ready to give birth all the time, Meng Changqing naturally heard the villagers' discussion.
This cow has been alone all the time, and it is impossible to get pregnant. Even a fool would know that there is something strange about it, let alone a wise person like Meng Changqing.
The villagers were all talking about how the cow got pregnant, and Meng Changqing was also thinking about it while stroking the cow's belly.
The grandfather who had been silent at the side said at this time: "His master, do you think his grandma was reincarnated into the belly of a cow? His grandma gave me a dream last night, saying that she was going to be cast into another family in the village. Yes, but when he was about to enter the house, he was chased back by his dog, and then he had nowhere to go, so he cast it in a random place."
When grandpa said this, I really think it is possible. Today is just the first seven, and the cow is just about to give birth again, and the timing is just right.
Meng Changqing also felt that it was possible, so he said thoughtfully: "It may be that the cow mates with other cows in the village while grazing outside. As for whether Grandma Ye Hai was reincarnated, there is no way of knowing. Neither do you. The need is too tight, so go back first, and let the person who will deliver the cow pick it up later, it should be no big problem."
For the time being, there is only such an explanation, otherwise it is impossible for a cow to conceive.
The villagers went home separately, leaving a few people here to guard. They didn't allow grandpa to stay here. They were afraid that grandpa would be sad, so they dragged him back to the house.
Grandpa stayed up at night, always thinking about the cow, and kept muttering that if the cow gave birth, he would ask my second grandma to buy the cow.
Meng Changqing stayed with his grandfather for a while, and his grandfather asked Meng Changqing to go to bed. Meng Changqing didn't sleep for several days and didn't refuse, so he fell asleep when he went to bed.
When it was almost dawn, Meng Changqing and I were woken up by the voices of the villagers in the main room. We went out to see that it was Grandpa Ye and the others.
When they saw Meng Changqing coming out, they hurried forward and said: "Yesterday we were guarding the cow, and its stomach didn't move at all, so we thought it wouldn't give birth at night. They wanted to go back and fill a bag of cigarettes and come back to watch, but after filling the cigarettes, we came back. The big yellow ox was already out of breath, the umbilical cord was stretched out, and there was no trace of the calf that was born."
Grandpa and Meng Changqing didn't waste half a second after listening to it, they rushed directly to the cattle pen below the village.
I walked slowly, and then arrived. When I saw the scene, I almost spit out a fishy smell. The belly of the big yellow ox had been deflated. At a glance, there were only two skins left on the belly, and it was extremely thin. .
Its eyes were still staring, with tears still in it, and mosquitoes were already crawling around its eyes, which made me extremely uncomfortable seeing it.
When I was in this village, besides Xiaoxiao, the cow was the one who accompanied me the most. Although it couldn't speak, I always regarded him as a playmate and a friend in my heart.
In this short period of seven days, first my grandma passed away, and then the big ox passed away, which made me feel an indescribable sense of fear.
I am afraid that my grandfather will pass away soon, my second grandmother will pass away, Meng Changqing will pass away, and even Xiaoxiao will pass away. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Meng Changqing was squatting in front of the scalper to check, when he saw me crying, he stood up and patted my shoulder and said: "The disappearance of old things means the emergence of new things, just like Tai Chi, they just changed to another way of life, maybe One day you may see them again."
I listened and nodded, but the grief in my heart did not decrease at all.
After that, Meng Changqing smiled, then bent down to check on the scalper, and shook his head after a long while, saying that he didn't see anything.
Afterwards, the villagers guessed that the big yellow ox had dystocia. After the calf came out, the big yellow ox died. The calf bit off the umbilical cord and left here. The newborn calf should not be able to go very far. The calf went, and they also thought that the calf was the reincarnation of grandma, and they had to find it.
Meng Changqing disagreed with their mindless search, but asked his grandfather about the details of the dream he had the day before yesterday.
Grandpa said that his grandma gave him a dream the night before that she was kicked out by a dog when she was about to reincarnate, and she wanted to find a random place to cast herself.
After hearing this, Meng Changqing asked Grandpa if he dreamed of that place.
Grandpa thought for a while, and told Meng Changqing about a village in his hometown. Afterwards, Meng Changqing took me to the village without stopping. A dead baby.
We found Zhang's house, and as expected, we saw a half-meter-tall wolfhound in his house, and saw many toe prints in the mud next to his house.
After seeing the footprints, I sighed in amazement: "There really are. It means that my grandma has been reincarnated, so I can see her again?"
"No." Meng Changqing ruthlessly poured cold water on me, "What you see is completely another person, she doesn't even know who you are."
I said oh, thinking that as long as I know who she is, I don't have to ask her to know who I am. She didn't talk to her well before she died, but she misses her all the time after she dies. If I can find her, I must talk to her well. Say a few words.
The death of my grandma shocked me too much. I never thought that people around me would die one by one. Now even in my dreams, I often dream that my grandma wakes me up at six o'clock in the morning, and I have to stay in bed until ten. point thing.
Seeing that I was dreaming, Meng Changqing patted me and told me to go with him, don't think too much.
He asked the villagers here where the dead baby was sold, and then sneaked over to dig up the dead baby's grave, cut the dead baby's finger and took some blood before reburying him.
I was speechless when I saw it: "You are more wicked than you."
Meng Changqing gave me a blank look, then raised his head and knocked on me, reprimanded me for not being big or small, and then went about his own business.
He used the blood to write eight characters on the note. I asked what it meant, and he said that it was the time when the ox died yesterday, and it was also the time when the calf was born, the calf's birthday.
I don't understand this thing, and he refuses to teach me now, he has to wait until I can calm down before he will teach.
After he said that, I said hello, and then watched him fiddle with the note in his hand.
After he folded the note into a triangle and took me away, he hurried all the way back to the village. The first thing he did after returning was smash the Kongming lantern and told the villagers not to look for it.
After the Kongming Lantern was tied up, he filled it with runes, then hung the previous piece of paper with the birth date of the calf on the Kongming Lantern, lit the Kongming Lantern, and the Kongming Lantern slowly rose into the sky. After it stopped, Meng Changqing raised his fingers together Read: "Qingshui looks for people to illuminate the light, the sun, the moon, and the stars follow the arch, illuminate the sky, illuminate the earth, illuminate the spirit of the gods, and illuminate everyone's manifestation. I obey, the Taishang Laojun is as urgent as a law."
After chanting, the Kongming Lantern began to move. The villagers had never seen such a weird method, and asked Meng Changqing what it was.
Meng Changqing explained to them that the Kongming lantern is also called the guiding lamp, and it is also called the soul-calling lamp. If the calf was reincarnated by the grandmother, you can use the Kongming lantern to find it. will stop.
After listening to Meng Changqing's explanation, the villagers followed Meng Changqing to look for the Kongming lantern.
The Kongming lantern went farther and farther, and it disappeared in less than half an hour. Meng Changqing stopped and asked everyone not to look for it when he saw no trace of the Kongming lantern.
The villagers believed Meng Changqing's words and went home to take a bath and sleep one after another. Meng Changqing and I also walked slowly towards the house.
When I was about to reach the village, I saw a beam of light from a car on the road in the distance.
There are very few cars in our village, and sometimes not once a year. Now that this car is coming to our village, I can naturally think that it is the second grandma who has returned.
