Last year, a foreign child was brought here by his parents, and he was too timid to look at people. It is said that he often swears at night, and all kinds of hospitals can't cure him. Grandma Shen said that the children were entangled in bad things and had to be driven away by magic. She made a ceremony at night and let them go back the next day. Later, the parents of the children brought a lot of meat and snacks to thank Grandma Shen, and it spread all over the village.
Qiu Hua was tied to the beam of his bike by his parents. There is a wooden stool with a child seat, and her legs are fixed in the middle of the car beam. Qiu Hua sat in it with her legs crossed. Her mother wrapped him in a red headscarf on her wedding day for fear that Qiu Hua would fall asleep.
My father rode a bike, and my mother sat in the back seat. It was bumpy all the way. At that time, there were not many cement roads, and the dirt roads were inevitably bumpy. Qiu Hua staggered to sleep.
When I woke up, I was held down by my mother. I rubbed my eyes and looked at an old woman sitting opposite me. She is not tall. Her silver silk is mixed with a few strands of moss, her eyes are bright, her cheeks are wrinkled, and there are two copper pendants hanging from her earlobe. She is wearing a long gown in Tsing Yi, with a gray headscarf on the left side of the gown, blue shoes tied to her feet, socks wrapped in white cloth, and blue pants not patched. Although she is old, she is dressed very cleanly.
Grandma Shen poured three bowls of water, and her parents explained the origin to her. Grandma Shen asked Qiu Hua with a smile.
Grandma Shen: Little grandson, are you afraid to sleep at night?
Qiu Hua shook his head!
Grandma: Did anyone see anything at night?
Qiu Hua still shook his head!
Grandma Shen: Have you ever been to an old house where no one lives?
Qiu Hua shook his head again!
Grandma Shen: Come and have a shortcake. Grandma Shen took a shortcake to Qiu Hua on the table. )
Qiu Hua's mother: Grandma Shen will give it to you. Just take it.
Qiu Hua took the shortbread and took a bite. It's sweet and fragrant. After listening to my mother's permission, I seem to have put down a lot. Grandma Shen asked Qiu Hua's parents about Qiu Hua's birthday, whether she had been there before she was born, whether she had walked at night, and whether there were any old people who had died recently at home. Qiu Hua's parents, afraid of missing details, tried to make it clear and told their parents and grandparents everything at home. Qiu Hua didn't understand these things, just ate shortbread.
The next night, Qiu Hua's father took Grandma Shen home. Grandma Shen asked Qiu Hua to sit on the stone bench in the middle of the room. There was a porcelain basin with yellow paper in it. There is a paper villain in the middle of the yard, and there are two piles of broken straw beside the villain. After a lot of yellow paper was lit, God's mother-in-law muttered and burned the paper men together, and then Qiu Hua's parents knelt in front of the fire and kowtowed.
According to the folk saying, this is called returning the people. According to legend, if people don't pay back in this life, they will be full of troubles. The psychic will burn it with paper, and even if it is returned, it will eliminate the disaster.
A few days later, my parents asked Qiu Hua how he was doing. Qiu Hua still said that her leg hurts, as before. This time, Qiu Hua's parents' original heart hung up again. At that time, I had no choice but to ask if Grandma Shen was still there. Grandma Shen has been here three or two times, and all kinds of paper products have been burned, but they still haven't improved. Finally, Grandma Shen said that this child is not only as simple as returning to others, but also looking for a knowledgeable person.
Qiu Hua is the same height as his peers because of leg pain, but his figure is very thin, and the protrusion of his ribs can be seen. Although there is delicious food at home, she will give it to him first, but she still can't make up for it. Seeing Qiu Hua again and again made family life in trouble again. This summer solstice and spring moon also suffered. Every time Qiuhua's mother steamed tortillas, she would add some sweet potato noodles, which looked yellow and hot. Chunyue asked her mother what kind of cake it was, and Chunyue said it was an egg cake. Chunyue took it and ate it at the door. What her neighbor Wen Chun ate, Chunyue said, always caused a burst of laughter.
After being introduced, Qiu Hua's mother heard that there was an old gentleman who was very accurate in seeing a doctor. He can work out the decoration and structure of his home without saying anything. He must be an expert, so he discussed it with Qiu Hua's father and went the next day.
The old gentleman is expressionless, and his home is full of snacks and sweets, all of which are thank-you gifts for seeing a doctor. The old man asked Qiu Hua's mother whether the pigsty was in the west of the yard, whether the pigsty was next to the toilet and whether the hydraulic well was in the west of the yard. These are all right, which makes Qiu Hua's parents feel that the old man is amazing.
The old man asked if there was any unused pig trough next to the sewer. The gutter is an open drainage ditch, and the sewer is covered with slate. In rural areas, the water that washes rice in rainy days or at ordinary times is discharged through the gutter. Rural yards are generally not covered because they are large, and a small ditch is directly discharged to the outside of the yard through the wall. The old man said that Qiu Hua's family had several graves 30 meters south, all facing the family, and asked Qiu Hua's parents to throw the pig trough south.
At first, Qiu Hua did not feel better. Qiu Hua's leg hurts for half a year. My parents who have been tossing for half a year haven't slept well. This time, they followed the old man's instructions and didn't have much hope that it would really improve. It's better to look at anyone than not.
One day a month later, Qiu Hua said that his leg didn't hurt, which made his parents very happy. Huang Tian was rewarded. It seems that this old man is really capable. Qiu Hua's parents thanked the old man again with meat and snacks. Qiu Hua also began to go to Yu Hong's class again.
Scientifically speaking, human bones begin to develop around the age of six. At that time, eating bad nutrition could not keep up, and calcium deficiency was inevitable. Calcium deficiency will naturally lead to bone pain. It is estimated that Qiuhua is due to calcium deficiency, but medical treatment is not difficult and advanced, or Qiuhua is small and unclear, and doctors have limited skills. After half a year, the nutrition is absorbed better and will naturally recover. This question looks amazing. Later, when Qiu Hua joked with us, the analysis was for this reason.
In rural areas, there is generally a saying that "please have a table". Those who show people deficiency, scare children and burn paper usually invite fox spirits or learn from the master. Fortune-tellers and soothsayers will not see a doctor, and some Taoist metaphysics will not show them. There are many unscientific ways among the people, and it seems that science can't explain them clearly. Therefore, in those days, people would choose this way to find someone to break it, and it is difficult to measure whether there is any substantial effect.
This summer, Solstice is the boss of the family and a girl. Many times, she has to take care of Chunyue and Qiuhua. The solstice of summer is very sensible, and I will give food to Chunyue Qiuhua first. Chunyue is more honest and obedient, and she seldom talks at ordinary times.
Qiu Huajia has always been a backward family in the village, and every time he pays tuition, he will delay for a few days. Qiu Hua's father sells food to pay for his tuition, which makes Qiu Hua feel embarrassed in front of his classmates, but the reality is that he can't change anything but accept the reality.
One day, Qiu Hua was playing marbles with his friends at school. There is a child of the same age named Erpang. Because Qiu Hua won a lot of marbles, he felt uncomfortable. He deliberately knocked Qiu Hua down, just hitting his forehead on a stone. His face was covered with blood. He has just been seen by the summer solstice, and he is eager to protect his brother. He slapped Erpang and ran home crying. That summer, on the solstice, I quickly asked adults to send Qiu Hua to the village health clinic for dressing. But in the evening, Erpang's mother came to the door with her aggressive attitude. ............... ■ Next chapter, the injustice of the summer solstice.
