Chapter 20 Bone Compression Lock
It was not until dawn that my parents took me out in a panic, and each of them rode a Daliang bicycle, and rushed to Wangzhuang like a gust of wind.
It was already past six o'clock when I arrived at Lunfen Mountain. Lao Chaitou was cleaning the soil in front of the door with a broom. In fact, the small area in front of Lao Chaitou's house was very clean, but Lao Chaitou just swept absent-mindedly and sighed from time to time.
When I saw us coming from afar, Lao Chaitou suddenly became happy, especially when I saw me, I felt that Lao Chaitou was about to laugh like a flower. But then I probably realized that my parents' faces were a little wrong, and Lao Chaitou's face also became solemn.
It was not until my dad stopped his bicycle at Lao Chaitou's door that Lao Chaitou asked my dad: "What's wrong? Something happened to Yangyang again?"
This time, Lao Chaitou failed to predict the future as before.
My dad didn't care about this either, but just nodded at Lao Chaitou. This time, when my dad looked at Lao Chaitou, there was no such repulsion and guilt in his eyes, as if a knot in his heart had been untied.
I was sitting in the back seat of the bicycle and smirked at Lao Chaitou.
Anyway, no matter what, after finding Lao Chaitou, our family finally felt completely relieved.
Lao Chai Tou invited us into the house, made a pot of good tea for my parents, and made a bowl of thick soup for me. I found that Lao Chai Tou deliberately blocked the soft "strange meat" with his body, for fear that my parents would see it. It was also at the time when Lao Chai Tou made soup, my father told me what happened during this period.
Only then did I realize that my dad and my mom had long thought that the copper lock was abnormal. Since hanging the lock on the door beam, my parents not only had minor illnesses, but also became very lazy after returning home. Recently, my dad and my mom had to make up their minds to remove the copper lock almost every day before going home, but every time they came home, they were too lazy to touch it, or even too lazy to look at it.
It was only then that I remembered that over the past two months, I haven’t seemed to be eating seriously. It’s not that I don’t want to eat, but that my parents are too lazy to cook well.
Lao Chai Tou put the soup on the table beside me, and told me to get a piece of candy first, then sat on the kang, and habitually lit a tobacco pot.
"According to what you said, that old lady Li should be a fake layman." Old Chaitou took a breath of cigarette and said lightly.
My dad nodded and said nothing, but my mom said in confusion: "Actually, I wonder why life was smooth after Xiao Zhang found her?"
My dad next to him sighed: "Xiao Zhang is dead."
As soon as I said this, my mother was shocked: "Diet? Didn't you be fine a while ago?"
My dad also lit a cigarette and said in a muffled manner: "Just half a month ago, the factory opened a bathhouse. When Xiao Zhang went to take a shower, he fell into the boiler and cooked it to death. However, many people in the factory said that Xiao Zhang did not fall into the boiler that day, but he opened the boiler door and climbed in."
I was boiled to death in the boiler. I felt very miserable when I thought about the scene. My mother seemed a little reluctant and sighed: "Oh, I'm so alone, why can't I think so hard?"
Lao Chaitou shook his head: "He is forcibly changing his fortune, and he will be rewarded. This changing his fortune is not an easy task. The old lady has a profound knowledge of her ability."
After hearing what Lao Chaitou said, my parents became a little nervous. Old Mrs. Li’s Taoism is profound? How can it be deeper than Lao Chaitou? Can Lao Chaitou deal with it?
Lao Chaitou seemed to see through my parents' thoughts at a glance. He shook the tobacco pot and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she has a good deed, that's also an evil way. Since ancient times, evil has not suppressed the righteous. Okay, after drinking tea, you should go to work and those who should go to school, and those who should go to school. Tonight, I'll go to your house for dinner. Don't forget to stir-fry a few good dishes. Of course, wine must not be missing, haha."
Today, Lao Chaitou seemed to be in a particularly good mood and spoke more casually than before. After saying this, Lao Chaitou lit my forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "Did you want to take the opportunity to take a leave and not go to school?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Chaitou saw me through at a glance!
From beginning to end, Lao Chaitou didn't blame my father for not trusting him and not moving to the bus station. I think Lao Chaitou should also know that the main reason why my father didn't do what he said was that he was unwilling to affect my studies.
After leaving Lao Chaitou's house, my father sent me to school. My mother called the milk company and asked for leave, saying that since she returned to Wangzhuang, she should go and see my uncle. She hasn't seen him for two months. My uncle must also be particularly concerned about our family.
I didn't have a good class all day. Although I was still sitting in the classroom, I had already flown out of the sky. In addition, my parents were too anxious when they took me out and didn't bring me a schoolbag. I didn't have a textbook, so I could only read the same book with Liu Shangang.
By the way, my deskmate is Liu Shangang, because I am the bad boy mentioned by the teacher. When I was dividing seats, no one was willing to have a table with me except Liu Shangang.
Liu Shangang is also the team leader of our duty group. He is not only responsible for picking up the broom while cleaning, but also for collecting homework. He writes the people who have not handed over the homework in a small notebook and handing them over to the teacher.
I finished my summer homework, but I really didn’t bring my schoolbag, so I didn’t have a chance to hand over my homework. However, with my relationship with Liu Shangang, even if I don’t do my homework, my name won’t appear on that small notebook.
Later I thought about it, I was really very simple at that time. If it were someone else, with a team leader like Liu Shangang, why would I have to foolishly finish all my summer homework?
But if it weren't for doing my homework, I wouldn't have been sitting at the desk all day long. Without the charm left by Lao Chaitou, I'm afraid I will no longer have the chance to talk to you here.
Many times, simplicity and honesty are really a good medicine to save lives.
After school at noon, I went to my uncle's house for dinner. When my uncle saw me having a special relationship, he cooked specially at noon and made small tofu for me. Originally, my uncle wanted to ask Lao Chaitou to come to have dinner with him, but when he went to find Lao Chaitou, there was no one at Lao Chaitou's house.
This made me a little worried, for fear that Lao Chaitou would not go to our house tonight.
As soon as I finished school in the afternoon, I quickly ran home. As soon as I entered the house, I heard a very reassuring voice from the living room: "Mom Yang Yang, do you have any unused rags at home?"
After that, my mother came out of the kitchen with a rag. I followed my mother into the living room and saw Lao Chaitou sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a cigarette pole in his left hand and a copper lock in his right hand.
My mother handed the rag to Lao Chaitou, and Lao Chaitou looked up at me and said with a smile: "I heard from your mother that you removed this lock?"
I nodded as if I was seeking credit. Lao Chai smiled, but ignored me and wiped it hard on the copper lock with a rag.
My mother asked Lao Chaitou on the side: "Uncle Chai, what's wrong with this copper lock? Because I felt dizzy when I hung it on the door beam that day."
Lao Chaitou wiped the copper lock and said, "This is not a copper lock, it looks like copper because it is coated with copper paint on the outside."
While speaking, Lao Chai Tou put the lock on the table and saw a piece of copper paint on the lock surface that had been wiped off by Lao Chai Tou, revealing a piece of porcelain white, with a little gray-brown color mixed in the white, but it is difficult to see if you don’t look carefully.
Lao Chai Tou took a long breath of cigarette and said, "This lock was pressed out of bone slag, and there was a spell engraved on it. Your door is in the southeast. From the position, the southeast direction of your house is indeed a lucky position for wealth and health. The old lady asked you to hang this thing in the southeast, not only blocking the flow of good fortune, but also allowing the foul air in the house to stay. In this way, the aura in your house will become a pool of stagnant water. The good cannot be in, the bad cannot be out, and the aura is blocked and blocked. It is natural for you to feel uncomfortable."
After hearing what Lao Chai said, I curiously picked up the copper lock on the table and looked at it very hard. Only then did I see that the gray-brown dots were actually very small words, but those words didn't look like men at all. I couldn't understand them after reading them for a long time.
Later, my mother asked Lao Chaitou why the sound of knocking on the window in the middle of the night disappeared after the copper lock was hung on it?
This time, Lao Chaitou didn't directly answer my mother, but said that he would only know the reason if he saw the old lady. After that, he walked directly to the balcony to smoke.
My dad didn't get home at almost seven o'clock. When he came back, he bought beer and liquor, and my mom cooked a few good dishes. But when my mom was about to greet Lao Chaitou for dinner, Lao Chaitou suddenly hurriedly walked in from the balcony and said to my dad, "Turn off all the lights at home, I'll go out."
When he said this, Lao Chai Tou had already turned off the lights in the living room.
My mother quickly went to the kitchen to turn off the lights, while my dad and I ran to the balcony to see where Lao Chai Tou was going.
As expected, after Lao Chaitou left our house, he went directly to Mrs. Li's house. Lao Chaitou didn't plan to enter through the main entrance. He looked around and made sure that no one saw him at the entrance of the alley, then he jumped hard, stepped on the wall twice, and crossed the wall like a gust of wind and turned into the yard of Mrs. Li's house.
When I climbed over the wall, Lao Chaitou didn't even use his hands. It made my father amazed: "Lao Chaitou has this skill!"
