Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 104. Entering the System

Xiao Bao's mother was a typical Northeastern woman. She spoke directly and without thinking, she asked, "Are you mentally ill?"

I was about to say something to her, but my uncle waved his hand and said, "You have never experienced anything like this before, so it's normal that you don't know. You will understand after I explain it to you."

"Let's talk," the uncle said, placing a long-range photograph in front of them. "The feng shui of a Yin-Yang residence emphasizes the Azure Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Vermillion Bird in front, and the Black Tortoise in the back. The Black Tortoise is a divine creature that combines a tortoise and a snake. With the tortoise element, it naturally emphasizes heaviness and stability, hence the Backing Mountain. The Vermillion Bird represents the Phoenix, and this is the open space directly in front of the Backing Mountain. The terrain here emphasizes elegance and agility, just like the Vermillion Bird in flight, complementing the stability of the Backing Mountain. This is the front and back image of a Yin-Yang residence."

"The Azure Dragon and White Tiger represent the hills to the left and right of the mansion. In feng shui, these two types of hills are called 'sand.' The Azure Dragon represents men, emphasizing a balanced and graceful rise and fall, with a coiled and upright body. To put it simply, the hill should be higher than the hill to the right, and its shape should be stable and grounded. Men who live in such places tend to be strong, resilient, and independent. The White Tiger represents women, emphasizing a humble and loving demeanor, and a reserved and self-reliant nature. To put it simply, the hill should be lower than the hill to the left, and its shape should be stable and heavy. Women who live here tend to be honest and self-respecting, and are good at managing their households."

"Of course, these are the four most basic and best forms, but mountain forms are always changing, and they will produce many different results. The Skirt-Lifting Sand is one of them. I just mentioned this mountain shape, so I won't go into details. Anyway, the unstable customs of Wangjiazhai are closely related to this Skirt-Lifting Sand on the right side of the village. Women from such places are naturally open-minded and don't stick to the differences between men and women. Since your son can't give up, you have no choice but to tolerate him. Otherwise, what's the point of forcing a relationship?"

"Are you talking in your sleep again?" The woman became angrier and angrier as she listened, and this time she yelled at her uncle in a loud voice.

My uncle stopped me again and said, "I know you won't be able to accept this at all. Why don't you ask your son? I bet he knows the impact of skirt-lifting on his wife."

"Old Geda knows about this? Isn't that ridiculous? I've never heard him talk about it." Xiaobao's mother said in surprise.

"If he told you, would you still agree to them being together?" the uncle asked back.

"But I haven't heard my husband say that either." The woman also couldn't understand.

"Even if he said it, could you believe it? Just like what you heard from me today, do you think I'm mentally ill?"

"I did think so just now, but now I think what you said might be true," said the woman.

"Using feng shui and topography to explain people's personalities and behaviors does sound like feudal superstition , but it's a real phenomenon. For example, if a place has beautiful scenery and abundant real estate, the people who live there will have a peaceful mindset. Because they have everything they need, who would commit a crime?"

"Before liberation, there were so many bandits in Northeast China because of the deep mountains and old forests, and the dangerous terrain made it difficult to suppress the bandits. So the bandits took advantage of this terrain to survive. This is the influence of feng shui on people."

"I think I understand now, but I still need to ask my old boss. This matter cannot be taken lightly."

The uncle said, "I have said everything I need to say. You can discuss and resolve the following matters with your family."

"But what about going to court?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhen will appear in court to provide testimony when the time comes."

The woman immediately expressed her gratitude to the uncle and thanked him repeatedly. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have almost knelt down.

Miraculously, I have nothing to do with this.

Afterwards, we returned to Longhua Village. On the way, I asked, "Uncle, that fat guy might really have some people under his command. If he causes trouble for me, it's easy to deal with. After all, I'm in Longhua Village and they can't find me. But what if he causes trouble for my parents?"

The uncle wasn't too worried. He said, "Do you really think there are no laws in this world and people can just do whatever they want?"

"But he does have my address."

"What's the big deal? I can find out where Fatty lives with just one phone call. What does that mean? I'm a gang boss. Even a gang boss should be reasonable, right?"

After hearing what my uncle said, I was in a state of confusion. If the underworld were reasonable, would it still be called the underworld? My uncle is also a "veteran", so how could his thoughts be so simple?

"Even if our family isn't afraid of the mafia, I still accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things from him. Taking the bribe and not doing the work for him is considered dishonest, isn't it?"

"You saved his life. This amount of money is a fair price compared to his life. Naturally, you don't need to help him anymore." My uncle's idea is really a bit non-mainstream, but I can't tell what's wrong with it.

But his attitude is very clear, that is, this matter must be handled to the end and there is no room for compromise.

I don't know why my uncle forced me to do this. Maybe he wanted to train me to be a good comrade with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. But to be honest, I'm not too worried. An old hand like my uncle certainly won't do anything without confidence. He can't let his nephew die in vain. So since he insisted on letting me testify in court, I would just do it.

After two hours of bumpy ride, we finally arrived at Longhua Village again. This time we were allocated houses. Longhua Village built a townhouse area in the area near the west of the entrance, with three buildings in a row and seven rows in total. All the people below the generation of the Fifth Old Man's grandchildren lived in this new house, while he and his son and nephew still lived in the old house area, which was an old house with gray tiles and earthen walls. Of course, I renovated the Fifth Old Man's house myself. The interior is completely in Chinese style, and he was very satisfied with it.

This time he came to me and showed me a special side of himself. He is getting older and his spirits are getting worse day by day. I saw him full of energy during the Chinese New Year, but now he has drooping eyebrows in broad daylight, giving people the feeling that he has not woken up yet.

He didn't say anything, he just repeatedly told Chu Sen and I to study hard and contribute to the family business in the future.

Afterwards, my fourth aunt, who was in charge of "logistics", personally arranged accommodation for us. It was on the third floor of a three-story villa. Although the two rooms were not big, they were fully equipped with computers, TVs and other essential appliances for young people, and they were all of the latest configurations. The environment was basically equivalent to a standard room in a five-star hotel.

Since most of the family members are busy with business, the only people you can see in the village are basically women, who are either the daughters-in-law of various families or the unmarried female relatives of the same family.

There was nothing to talk about with women, so Chu Sen and I were playing Warcraft Tower Defense online. It was a very popular game at the time. We were having a great time when my cell phone rang. I hurriedly answered the call and it was Xiaobao.

She spoke in a high voice on the other end of the phone, "Little Big Brother, please tell Uncle, what he said is absolutely accurate. I am Old Lump's mother, but he doesn't understand this matter as thoroughly as he does. This man is incredible."

I actually know why my uncle was able to infer that there was something wrong with the feng shui of Xiaobao's wife 's hometown . It was based on the "Sui Fu" on his body. Although I don't know the principle of "Leishen Sui Fu", what is certain is that a person is willing to endure great pain to carve this special tattoo with magic power on his body, naturally it is to suppress the "evil spirit".

After figuring it out, I said, "Now that you understand the whole story, it's easy. We can figure out a way to solve the problem later."

"Yes, I called to ask you to tell me what to do with this young couple. They don't want to divorce, but as an old man, how can we bear to see this girl keep getting into trouble?"

"I understand. Don't worry. Since my uncle told you about this, he will definitely find a way to solve it."

"Thank you. Your family is my family's benefactor. Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely thank you."

After hanging up the phone, I didn't care about playing games. I went to find my uncle and told him what happened. He said, "The solution to this problem is actually very simple. There are two ways. Either blow up the mountain, or move the whole family, including the ancestral grave."

"Huh? That's easy to say, but I think it's difficult to actually do it."

"Do you think it's easy to solve the Feng Shui evil spirit? How did the Feng Shui master in Chu Sen's hometown solve it? He fabricated lies and organized the entire village to cut off the water veins. Is that easy? But he did it."
