Chapter 70 Chapter 2 Prelude to Leaving Home

"You can also pinch someone's fingers and press your thumb on his nails. The underside of the nails will turn white. Release your hand and see if his nails immediately turn red again. If they turn back The speed is very slow, that is to go home. First aid must be taken." Grandpa said. "Zhi Zhao" is also a term in alchemy. If someone knows that this year's fortune is not good, or that there are taboos in marriage, it does not mean that he can only sit and wait for bad luck to come. He can avoid bad luck by setting Zhao.For example, I had hand problems when I was born, but my grandfather gave me a mahogany talisman, which made me better.This is "Zhi Zhao".

"How to set Zhao?" I asked. "I can't tell you right now. Hurry up, and I'll tell you when I get back." Grandpa said. It was already dark at night, and the road ahead was so vague that only a white strip of cloth could be seen floating underfoot.People who live in the city all year round will not feel this way.Because at that time, the roads in the countryside were also dirt roads, and there were no asphalt roads and cement roads.Because there are no street lights in the countryside, it is so dark that you can't see anything on both sides of the road, and you can't really see your fingers.

But even if I can't see my fingers, the road under my feet still shows a little bit of illusory whiteness. I don't understand why.When I stepped on the road, I felt as light and buoyant as stepping on floating clouds, which was a little fun and a little scary. My grandfather and I walked home, and my mother and father were still waiting for news from my uncle.When such a thing happened, we, as relatives of my cousin's natal family, had to comfort her immediately, for fear that she would commit suicide. The cousin gave birth to this son and spent a lot of hard work and hard-earned money.She already has a daughter who is in elementary school, but she has been looking forward to having a son for five or six years. She dared not have one for five or six years, so she risked being punished by family planning and hid in another place to give birth to this son before returning.

After a while, my uncle came to look for us. His face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and he probably cried a lot.That kid is very funny to adults.That child is somewhat similar to me, who spends a lot of time at his grandfather's house instead of living with his parents at his own house.So many people in our village have seen that child, and many people like him very much.But because I often go to school and follow my grandpa all day long during holidays, I don't know much about this child. There were several other aunts and uncles who came with my uncle. They called my parents and took a rented bus overnight to my cousin's house.

I also wanted to go together, but my mother stopped me. "It's so late, don't go. You and grandpa stay at home and wait for us to come back." Mom said. I just nodded. As soon as the parents got in the car and left, Aunt Jinxiang from next door came to ask. Aunt Jinxiang saw that grandpa was also there, so she exchanged greetings before sitting down.Aunt Jinxiang's natal family is in Wentian Village. Her father and grandfather are good friends, so they are not very strange. Grandpa took the initiative to ask Aunt Jinxiang, "Jinxiang, do you know about that child?"

Aunt Jinxiang said: "I know, the child got sick here first. Then he was taken to his home." Grandpa asked again: "What disease? Don't you go to the hospital for treatment?" "Why didn't you go to the hospital? After transferring to five hospitals, including the most famous women's and children's hospital in the provincial capital, the doctor said they couldn't find out what the disease was. You said, other doctors don't know what the disease is, how can I know what it is? Heck!" Aunt Jinxiang said with an exaggerated expression. "Is it that serious?" Grandpa asked.

"Let's talk, it doesn't look very serious."
