Chapter 45 who is the lord

No one thought that the one walking next to the eight circles was Hu Tiancheng's mother. Then, according to the normal sequence, on the monument number of "Underground New Village", Grandma Six will be: 312. Grandma Six probably didn't like the monument.She is a believer in "the Lord".I don't know when she believed in "the Lord".On some days, when it was getting dark, she was seen hurrying to the neighboring village on her little feet, which meant that she was going to church. At that time, Hu Tiancheng was very busy all the time. When he got busy, he often didn't go home for several months. Even when he went back occasionally, he was in a hurry and left after taking his things.Therefore, Hu Tiancheng didn't know that his mother believed in "the Lord".It wasn't until Grandma Six became seriously ill that he found out that his mother had believed in "the Lord".

In the villages on the plains, most of the people who believe in the "Lord" are people suffering from evil diseases.These people suffered from various strange diseases for some reason, and they could not be cured for a long time. Then, when they were looking for folk remedies to cure their diseases, you passed it on to me and I passed it on to you, and they all believed in the "Lord". "Lord" here is a thought, a kind of spiritual relief after helplessness, and an "invisible door" after asking for helplessness.It focuses on the word "letter".Therefore, in the plains, the teachings of the "Lord" are mostly passed down orally. Speaking of them, they are all very homely and utilitarian vernacular.For example, if you believe it, you will be fine if you believe it.For example, "the Lord" tells people to do good things, do more good deeds, and refrain from doing bad things. The "Lord" said, don't steal, touch, or grab, be filial to your parents-in-law, and treat your neighbors and sisters-in-law kindly, and you can enter heaven after you leave.If you enter heaven, you will not suffer any more in your next life. At that time, it will be like "communism", eat whatever you want, and ask for whatever you want... Every week, they gather together and sing loudly They read some sentences that they could not even understand, or prayed and told the "Lord" over and over again in silent reading.Usually, they are taciturn people, but here, they sang aloud without any shyness, shouted out the stasis in their hearts in the group, and vomited the "disease" hidden in their minds to the "sickness" again and again. Amen"... Then they exchanged some feelings with each other and talked about their respective illnesses. "Sickness" is their cause, and "faith" is their result.So their gatherings became a festival for them to cast their soul diseases one by one.

Grandma Six was originally a quiet person.Because Liu Ye left early, she has been a widow for thirty-eight years.At that time, everyone said that Grandma Six was blessed and had raised a good son, but Grandma Six had never been arrogant in the village.On weekdays, Grandma Six seldom spoke. In the early years, she also went to the fields to do some weeding work. She always came and went silently, twisting her little feet.Then, as I got older, I seldom went out.At first, Grandma Six suffered from migraines.At night, she often couldn't sleep, and she always pinched a place tightly with her hands to feel better.At that time, every time she went out, there was always a piece of black and purple pinched out with her hands on her temples.When the condition is better, it will be treated for some days, but it will not be cured.Later, in the neighboring Fangzhuang, she believed in the Lord.Strangely, after believing in "the Lord", her migraines really got better a lot.Thus, she became the first person to believe in the Lord in Hujiapu.

Hu Tiancheng never dreamed that his mother's death would become another challenge to him!If he converted to his mother, she would not be the only one who believed in the "Lord" in Hujiapu. That night, under the moonlight, Hu Tiancheng went home.After entering the courtyard gate, he suddenly found many figures shaking in his mother's room.So, he pushed open the door of his mother's room.At this time, he saw five or six old ladies in black turbans standing in his mother's room.Under the light, I saw the old ladies all hooking their heads, smacking their lips, clasping their hands together, and saying "Bulu, Bulu..." I don't know what to say.Hu Tiancheng was taken aback, and said: "What is this for?" However, no one said anything, and those old ladies were still "bulu" talking about something like no one else was there.After a while, a person stood up behind the door. The person coughed and said, "Your mother is sick." Hu Tiancheng looked back and saw that the person was his uncle in his seventies.The old uncle lives in the neighboring Fangzhuang.He said: "Old uncle, you are here." The old uncle gave him a look and said nothing.Hu Tiancheng asked again: "What is this for?" The old uncle said: "Your mother is sick, you don't even know?" Hu Tiancheng said: "Why don't I know. Why do you see a doctor when you are sick? What is this for?" As he spoke, he walked towards his mother's bed, but there was a circle of old ladies standing in front of the bed. He walked around those old ladies and stood at the corner of the bed.At this time, he saw his mother lying on the bed, her eyes were half closed, and she was saying "Bulu..."!So, Hu Tiancheng stood in the room for a while, then walked out silently.

When he stood in the courtyard, the woman leaned over and whispered, "Mother has believed in the Lord. They came to pray for Mother..." Hu Tiancheng ignored the woman.Hu Tiancheng stood there, silent for a while, and then called into the room: "Uncle, come out." The old uncle came out of the house and said straight away: "Speaking of which, you are also a cadre. Your mother is so sick that you don't care?" Hu Tiancheng said, "Why don't I care? See a doctor if you're sick, why don't you keep drinking water. I'll call the doctor right away."

The old uncle said: "Don't call me, she is so old, she will be tormenting her. Your mother believes in the Lord, and the doctor can't cure her disease." Hu Tiancheng said: "If the doctor can't cure it, who can?" The old uncle said: "'Master'. Your mother has a heart disease, and 'Master' can cure her disease." Hu Tiancheng glanced at the old uncle and said, "Old uncle, you brought those people here?" The old uncle said: "Well. Look at the people, they all come to pray for your mother voluntarily." Hu Tiancheng said: "You take all these people away, I will take care of my mother when she is sick."

The old uncle glared and said: "Let me tell you, your mother believes in the Lord—Amen. Your mother has no other ideas, but wants to go to heaven with the Lord—Amen. This is your mother Your wish. You won’t be in your mother’s way, right?” The old uncle said a word, and immediately nodded “Amen”… Hu Tiancheng said: "Which 'heaven' are you going to enter? I don't believe in that." The old uncle said: "Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, forget it. Your mother believes it!" Hu Tian became angry and said: "Old uncle, you take these people away for me. If you don't take them away, I won't care about them!"

The old uncle spattered his saliva and said, "You don't care, I won't let you do it this time!" Hu Tiancheng said: "Uncle, did you say that?" The old uncle shook his white hair and said, "What? I said it! I'm your uncle, how dare you hit me?!" Hu Tiancheng stood in the courtyard for a while, and said, "That's good. Since you don't let me take care of it, I won't take care of it." After speaking, he turned his head and walked out. At this time, the old uncle jumped up and shouted: "I am your uncle! Is it wrong? You are a griddle pot, and I am an iron pot row! If you have the guts, don't come back. If your mother dies, don't come back!"

Hu Tiancheng stood at the door and looked back at his uncle.Since then, Hu Tiancheng has never returned home... Unexpectedly, the next day, the old uncle became even more "rampant".After a while, more than a hundred "believers" came to Hujiapu successively!Most of these people are women and old people. They each carried dry food and walked from the four townships in groups. Then they gathered in groups in front of Hu Tiancheng's house and sat on the ground. There was a sound of "Bulu...", and while they were praying, they drew the word "ten" on their chests from time to time, with a solemn and solemn look on their faces, and finally said "Amen!" in unison. "The voice lingered in the sky above Hujiapu, and it lingered for a long time.

Gradually, first an old lady from Hujiabao came out with her baby in her arms, and then more and more people gathered to watch.By noon, Hu Tiancheng's house was completely surrounded.I saw those "believers" sitting there neatly one by one, saying "bulu, bulu, bulu..." Sometimes they didn't "bulu". Pass each other the dry food and water they brought, you hand it to me, I hand it to you, yours is mine, mine is yours, when you are hungry, take a mouthful of dry food; when you are thirsty, take a mouthful and put it in a plastic bottle water... At this time, many old ladies handed dry food to the onlookers, saying: "Eat a piece, this is the blessing of the Lord." Soon, the old ladies in Hujiabao The wife talked to those "believers".Someone said: "Who told you to come?"

The "believers" said: "It is the Lord who made us come." Ask again: "Who is the 'Lord'?" The "believers" said: "The Lord is God, and we are all the lambs of God. My Lord Jesus..." Ask again: "What good is it to believe in the Lord?" The "believers" said: "Believe it. This is not superstition. There is a policy from the top, saying that it is freedom of belief. You should also be free for a while. Believe in 'the Lord'. It is good to cure diseases if you are sick, and eliminate disasters if you are not sick... " Someone asked, "Can any disease be cured?" The "believers" said: "Yes. All diseases can be cured. There was a man named Ma in Zhangzhuang, Hexi. My sins are not over yet..." Someone asked: "Then why is Granny Six's illness not good?" The "believers" said: "Grandma Six's sins have been forgiven by the Lord, and Grandma Six will go to heaven. It's good to go to heaven. Heaven is just like communism..." While talking, an old lady suddenly hummed something, and all the believers sang along.They babbled and babbled, and under the noon sun, the dark and hoarse singing made people both intoxicated and confused. At noon, Hu Tiancheng's old uncle came out of the door one after another.Standing on the village street, he stomped his feet and cursed loudly: "Ancestors of Japan, don't you look good?! Didn't even prepare saliva? What?!..." Immediately, some "believers" said: "Don't scold, don't scold, we do it voluntarily. Are you hungry? There are buns here... believe in the Lord, we can't scold people." The old uncle said bluntly: "You can't scold, I can. I am his uncle, I am his own uncle! What does uncle do? He is here to vent anger on his family! He is also a cadre. What kind of cadre? A shit-eating cadre! Did you learn the etiquette in your crotch? Tian Cheng, call Tian Cheng back to me! It’s been a day, and you don’t even have a face?!..." Hearing his scolding, those onlookers slipped out one by one.They all left as if they were hiding something.Suddenly, only those "believers" who were still saying "bulu" were left in the village street... The "believers" looked around and said in surprise, "how are the people here like cats?" So, the old uncle cursed even louder. The old uncle was a believer in the Lord, but he cursed back as soon as he scolded.He cursed in a very traditional way: "...six grasshoppers and seven millets, donkey tails hanging clubs, dogs are not! Weasels sow rabbit babies, a litter is too big! Autumn walnuts smashed green persimmons, and there are flat heads! Hanging on the door bolt Huang Lingzi, what are you doing?! A bedbug came out of melon seeds, is that a human being? Can this be considered a human being?! What is a human being? Humans are not fed whole grains? Humans are born of dogs, pigs, and horses? I am his ancestor!..." These words finally reached Hu Tiancheng's ears.While the believers "Bulu, Bulu" were praying to his mother, Hu Tiancheng was lying on the straw bed in the hut... At this time, people kept coming to tell him: "There are so many people here. , clean superstition, clean superstition!" Some people came to say: "Should we drive them away? They are always talking about 'bulu, bulu', and they don't know what 'bulu' is?" Some people came running Said: "Curse it, scold it, your old uncle is scolding there, jumping around and cursing..." But no matter what anyone said, Hutian remained silent, and he just lay there motionless. The commotion continued until dusk, when the woman ran up with a yellow face and said, "Mother has opened her eyes, mother is looking around, I am afraid that mother wants to see you..." Hu Tiancheng remained silent. The woman said again: "Since Mother believed it, let her believe it once..." Hu Tiancheng remained silent. In the middle of the night, the woman came running again.The woman wept and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to die. The doctor said that the water can't even get in..." The woman said: "Mother's eyes are still closed, Lin Lao, don't you see Mother?" At this time, the cadres were all standing outside, waiting for Hu Tiancheng to speak, but Hu Tiancheng was still sullen and said nothing. That night, almost every house in Hujiabao had their lights on, and people looked outside from time to time, as if they were waiting for something, just waiting silently... At one o'clock in the morning, the old man came.The old uncle was persuaded by the cadres in the village.Panting heavily, the old uncle stood in front of the hut.The old uncle stood in front of the door for a while, and finally said: "Your mother can't do it, your mother is starting to lose her temper...you go back. I'll go, I'll go right away. From now on, when my old sister goes, we Even if the relationship is broken! I will never set foot in the door of your house again!" After speaking, the old uncle put his hands behind his back and walked away with his head hooked. Back at Hu's house, the old uncle knelt down in front of the bed and cried loudly: "Old sister, old sister! You have only one wish, and I haven't even fulfilled it for you. I am so incompetent!..." cried After speaking, he walked out of the room, sighed, and said to the dark night sky: "Lord..." Then, he said to those "believers" who persisted all day and night: "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Walk!" Finally, in desperation, the "believers" withdrew after saying "Amen" in unison.Hu Tiancheng will go home tomorrow.At that time, the mother had died.Hu Tiancheng stepped into the door step by step. He stood in front of his mother's spirit for a while, and said forcefully, "...put on your clothes. According to the village's regulations, a memorial service will be held tomorrow." But Hu Tiancheng did not attend his mother's memorial service.He fell asleep, and he slept for three days.Someone whispered that Huber was indeed asleep, and he heard Huber's snoring... In the end, Grandma Six did not go according to the will of the "Lord". In the "Underground New Village" on the post, her monument number is still: 312. Later, someone said that they had never seen such a "steel" person as Hu Tiancheng.When my mother is dead, I won't shed a single tear!
