293 life exchange
"No, you can’t leave half a sentence again." I held her hand and looked at her excitedly. "What is the third time? You make it clear."
"I’m not a fairy. Is it true if I say it?" She smiled. "What if I lied to you? Aren’t you a fool?"
"You didn’t lie to me tonight and tell me the truth, which I can hear." I said, "Tell me what happened the third time?"
She looked at me awkwardly. After a moment of silence, Nai shook his head.
"I can read the purple heart, but I can’t read your prediction clearly." I paused. "I’m not the seventh master. I’m not that good. I don’t want to owe you the risk, whether it’s the third time or the second time."
She smiled. "Are you naive or not, Feng Shui master? Don’t you understand that we are black and white, not chess players? Just like you and me, I know something and you can foresee something, but what can we change? "
"Can’t but …"
"No buts," she stared at me. "Do you remember seeing that scene in the dreamland? That princess Jun didn’t accompany Tianjun to die. She came back to life, but her heart died. The ancients said that sorrow is greater than death. I sympathize with her, but no one will sympathize with her. My physical death is a relief, and my heart is a torture. I can never tell if it is fate. "
I’ve said all my words, and I’ll be melodramatic if I ask again. "Well, tell the story and I’ll listen."
She smiled, got up, went to the side, opened the closet, took out a small backpack from the safe, and then came back to sit next to me. "The story should start with a treasure in this backpack."
"oh? What kind of baby? " I’m interested.
She took out a small exquisite bronze censer from it. "This censer was given to me by my grandfather and given to him by a girl when he was young. This story is their story."
"Well, tell me about it."
"The girl’s father is a master of mathematics, but he has been quietly hearing that my grandfather worships him and wants to worship his teacher, but he refused to accept my grandfather’s apology." She said, "My grandfather was very bad-tempered and impatient when he was young, so the girl personally cast this incense burner and gave it to him."
"A token of love?" I asked
She gave me a look, "I think so. This incense burner is cast in a secret way, which is equivalent to lighting sandalwood in an instrument, and it must be cultivated for three months before grandpa can get it. After getting this, his temperament has changed a lot. When he is upset, he will suddenly calm down. I have tried it many times, and the effect is really amazing, no matter how annoying or messy it is."
"Well, what happened later?"
"Later, this incident made his adoptive father know that the old man was angry, hit my grandfather in the mouth and then drove him away. My grandfather didn’t leave anyway, and he was stunned. When he woke up again, he was thrown into the mountain road. He was unwilling to get up and ran back to the adoptive father’s village, but when he arrived, he had already gone to the house bed and left this incense burner."
"The old man against them? It’s not that simple. There must be other reasons! " I thought, "Is it because that girl can’t be with your grandfather?"
"Not only my grandfather, but she can’t be with anyone." Li Zixin gently stroked the small incense burner. "Grandpa waited for a day and a night, and then the old man came back and brought him a strand of hair from the girl. He told my grandfather that he was the only baby girl who didn’t want her to marry far away, and he couldn’t let her marry my grandfather. He gave him this strand of hair to make him break this dream."
"Why is it so unreasonable?" I said, "I can’t hurt my daughter in this way. Can I get married sooner or later?"
"You can’t comment until you hear me out," she said. "My grandfather couldn’t figure it out and didn’t allow him to ask his adoptive father to allow them to join him, even if he came to adopt by adoption. But the old man said that you are a descendant of the Li family, and I dare not ask you to be such a son-in-law. After that, he left. My grandfather couldn’t stop it."
"Yeah, stubborn enough." I smiled. "What happened?"
"Later, the girl ran out and eloped with my grandfather." She paused. "After half a year, the girl was pregnant, and then my grandfather was going to marry her. The girl refused to promise her that she was too lonely. If she got married, it would be bad for my grandfather, not only for the children, but also for my grandfather. Later, she gave birth to a boy and left."
"gone?" I wondered, "Where have you been?"
"Died," she said lightly. "She died just after her son was full moon."
I’m cold. "Life change?"
She glanced at me and nodded. "Before she died, she told her grandfather that her elopement violated the family taboo and she was bound to be punished by her ancestors. When she was a child, her father made her swear before her ancestors that if she left her hometown for five hundred miles, she would die for forty years."
"What the fuck is this dad?" I was angry. "I forced my daughter to make such a poisonous oath!"
"Don’t be excited to hear me out," she sighed gently. "She said that her great grandfather broke the local Long Mai on impulse, so he should cut off his grandson, but one of his school sisters gave his brother a continuation of incense and gave birth to a son. Let Sun Ping-an make a rule that for 200 years, his grandson will not marry a daughter from the other mountain, and no matter whether he is male or female, he is not allowed to leave his ancestral home for 500 miles or he will be cursed."
"Broken Long Mai …" I nodded. "No wonder."
"She eloped with my grandfather, which was a taboo, and they broke the 500-mile boundary to escape the old man’s pursuit," she said. "So she knew that she would not live long, but she didn’t want my grandfather to be alone, so she gave birth to a child behind his back."
I suddenly understood that the girl with purple heart is your grandmother, right? If it is life in that your father he … "
She smiled. "He didn’t live to be thirty and gave birth to me at the age of twenty-six, and then he died. The life expectancy of the born child is two-thirds of the mother’s loss. The girl lost her life for forty years, and it’s good that he is twenty-six years old. It’s normal for this kind of surgery not to come to my life every other generation, otherwise my grandfather would be too poor."
"I’m sorry you shouldn’t tell me this." I feel very uncomfortable. Isn’t this a sad thing? Muyangdi
She shook her head. "There is nothing I want to tell you myself. Later, I asked Grandpa if there was really nothing I could do."? He said it would be nice not to leave the girl, but at least she could still live without her. He said it was fate, and it was for this reason that I had such talent, because she was so clever that she saw through her life early … "
"That’s your grandmother. Why do you have to call her that girl?" I don’t understand
"Because she didn’t go through the door, grandpa said that I should remember her in my heart, but she can’t call her grandma on the surface." She looked down at the incense burner. "Grandpa gave this to me and said that if someone upset me in the future, it would mean something to him. I know he was afraid that I would be like that girl. He didn’t want me to lose my mind because of my feelings and delay my life."
"Your grandfather loves you very much. He knows that once you are serious, you will be like your grandmother." I paused. "Purple heart, don’t be like her. I don’t need it."
