【004】 Deep love between master and apprentice
The blind master has blind eyes but a clear heart. Zhong Ming found that this disciple was not very kind to him. He also knew that the world is in chaos today. People's hearts are hard to fathom and sea water is hard to measure. When he gets old, having a disciple to take care of him can be regarded as cultivation in his previous life.
Blessings come.
Every time Zhong Mingfa comes, he will be busy for a while, picking up and folding the inside and outside, and after finishing it, he has to wipe his body with the master.
After refreshing the master, the topic came up. The master sniffed greedily with his nostrils. Zhong Mingfa's washed clothes still smelled of saponaria tree. He sniffed and said: "You come to see the master and want to ask about the child's condition."
Bar?"
"Master Mingjian, the traitor got into trouble today. He actually tore up the portrait of our ancestor to wipe his butt..."
The master blinked his eyelids nervously, and then said slowly: "Everything has its own destiny. If the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, don't worry about it. Besides, this child came in a strange way, either a disaster or a blessing.
"The master moved his dry lips and tried hard to move his sunken eyes. He seemed to want to look at the apprentice sitting next to him, but he sighed helplessly and continued: "Imagine that you are under the bright moonlight.
The cemetery where you picked him up also means that it is not the tomb of an evil person. Considering that he has been staying with you for several years, nothing serious has happened to you, and there are no abnormal situations in the village. It seems that he must have come from a lucky star.
"
The purpose of Zhong Mingfa's visit was to find someone who could feel at ease. The master was an elder, and what he said made sense. Since the old master said that this child was not a disaster star, he felt a little more at ease.
"This child has a mysterious origin and is very troublesome. He will definitely cause disaster in the future." The master raised his hand and rubbed his bald chin. The furrows on the old man's face were like the growth rings carved by the old tree. Under the reflection of the kerosene lamp
Below, I can clearly see the luster of sweat in the wrinkles.
The heart that had been comforted just now, when the master said this, Zhong Mingfa's heart was hanging again.
"Master, please clarify."
"The secrets of heaven must not be leaked. The best way to do this is to accumulate evil virtues for future generations. But the worst way is to dig holes and harm others. If you are not careful, you will shorten your own life. Alas! Only the dead like our industry. The living
People can't avoid it. I've been working all my life, so why am I blind? That's the reason. You'll understand if you think about it slowly."
Zhong Mingfa understood the meaning of the master's words. In the business of cutting acupuncture points, you see things that others dare not see and do things that others dare not do. Short life is an embarrassment that will happen if you are unlucky.
After the cave digger digs the hole, and the deceased is resurrected, the hole must be filled by the cave digger himself. It is said that nine out of ten holes will be blind. This is not unfounded.
After leaving the master's house, Zhong Mingfa had just walked to the reservoir when he heard the dull thumping sound of a wooden stick hitting his clothes, mixed with the laughing voices of three women.
"Vanilla little girl, she has had the same character as her mother since she was a child, so cool! She actually fell in love with that freak born in the cemetery."
"Don't tell me, that freak's eyes are a bit different. If you look at them for a long time, you will see that his eyes are green."
"Bah! Who are you scaring?"
Zhong Mingfa stood on the edge of the ridge, deliberately coughed a few times, and stepped on the ground with a loud "dong dong" sound.
Hearing the familiar coughing sound, there was a burst of hissing, and the three tongue-tied women hurriedly buried their heads in washing their clothes, not daring to raise their heads to say hello to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Mingfa put his hands behind his back and strode homeward from the ridge.
At this moment, a man ran from Nanbian Village and ran towards Zhong Mingfa in a panic, shouting something loudly.
Zhong Mingfa ignored the man and walked away with a straight face. Everyone in the village knew about his strange character. No one cared about when his face was happy and when it was gloomy.
But since having Zhong Kui, Zhong Mingfa's life has changed a lot. His smile is all over his face, and he walks more confidently than before.
"Master Zhong, wait for me." A young and strong man saw Zhong Mingfa turning to go to the west village and shouted hurriedly.
Zhong Mingfa watched with cold eyes the person who was running away without frothing, and he knew that something urgent must have happened, or that a dead person in the family needed to have his acupuncture points cut off. He stopped walking and still put his hands behind his back, looking proud.
"Huchi~huchi." The man gasped, wiped his sweat and said with a panicked look on his face: "Master Zhong, I went to your house to look for you but I didn't see you, and then I went home and came back from home again."
Zhong Mingfa interrupted the other party impatiently and said sternly: "Don't mention it, let's get down to business. Who in your family died, how tall was he, and was he fat or thin?"
The man wiped away endless sweat, narrowed his eyes and said, "No! He's not dead yet!"
"Ball! Why are you looking for me if you're not dead?" Zhong Mingfa said and was about to leave.
"There is no difference between not dead and dead, but just hanging like that and roaring is quite scary. Auntie asked you to come and see what happened."
Looking at the man's appearance, Zhong Mingfa's mind came to a man with a short stature, a sinewy face and a butcher's knife. Who is this man to him? When he thought about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Your uncle?"
A man always answers questions: "Yes."
Zhong Mingfa chased after him and asked, "Is your surname Yan?"
"yes."
"Come on, take me to see you."
As night fell, Zhong Kui kept looking back and forth in the courtyard. His father should have returned from Dongbian Village long ago! It was almost dark, and there was still no one around.
Looking at it, I finally saw a figure appearing on the road leading to the courtyard. It turned out that the figure was his father. Zhong Kui jumped forward happily and shouted: "Dad."
"Yeah." Zhong Mingfa replied. Then he asked worriedly: "You didn't do anything bad today, did you?"
"How dare you, Dad, my face still hurts."
"Um, daddy will apply some mud on your feet later. It will be effective tomorrow morning."
"Dad, you went to grandpa's house, why did you come home so late?"
Zhong Mingfa entered the house, opened the lid of the pot, and looked at a large bowl of hot sweet potatoes in the pot. He frowned inadvertently, and then replied: "Grandpa came back early and went to other places. Then kill him."
The pig can't die even when it's old, it just roars until it dies, making the neighbors uneasy. It may be too painful, the whole person's appearance is deformed, and it can't take a breath. I'm used to seeing dead people.
They were all so scared that their calves cramped.”
"Pig-killers, this is easy to do. Just tell them to put a blood basin and a butcher's knife under their bed."
Zhong Kui's words shocked Zhong Mingfa and he was immediately stunned. He looked at the little kid as if he were watching a circus show. Where did this kid come from? Listening to his words, no one would believe these words. He was a ten-year-old boy.
It was said by a two-and-a-half-year-old child with yellow hair who was still wet.
Zhong Mingfa's eyes bulged like bells, he looked at Zhong Kui and asked: "Who did you listen to?"
Zhong Kui slapped his nose nonchalantly and said carelessly: "Dad, I didn't listen to anyone. It turns out that he is a pig butcher and has incurred too many life debts. If you want to die happily, that's not right.
