Chinese Almanac Master

After Xiao Nanzhu came out from the cemetery to pay homage to his grandmother, he stopped by Situ Zhang’s house. Even though it would always be a disaster for the spirited Tai Sui to be there, but because Qingming was watching at home for a while, nothing would happen. Blunder.

Just because today is the Ching Ming Festival, Situ Zhang also rested at home, his father went out to play chess with others, and when he saw Xiao Nanzhu coming, his mother hurriedly gave him a basket of green balls that he made in the morning After bringing it out, he not only kept telling him to sit down and eat something before leaving, but also went to the kitchen for him to fill some green balls and black rice for him to take away.

"My dear mother, you can just sit down and rest. This youth ball is something for children to eat. How old is Anan? Why do you take it home? Besides, you can buy it outside, why do you have to make such a fuss every year? ..."

"Who said that! Anan, when you were young, you liked to eat the green balls I made the most. I made the red bean paste and sesame seeds by myself. It's not much cleaner than the outside!"

"All right, all right, I can't beat you, I can't beat you..."

Situ Zhang helplessly sat on the bamboo stool at the door and yelled into the kitchen, Xiao Nanzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw his slumped appearance, and Situ Zhang, who had nothing to do with his own mother, wanted to kick him He kicked, Xiao Nanzhu cleverly dodged and returned his kick.

Because it had rained in the morning, the steps at the door were covered with water, and Situ Zhang's mother in the kitchen, who was so careless and bluffing naturally, heard it, and poked her head out and scolded with staring eyes. After a few words, the old lady saw the two of them squatting together in the corridor smoking like a monkey child, and then retreated back to make something delicious for Xiao Nanzhu.

"Bastard, you stepped on my face...but it seems to be successful, look at you..."

Suppressing his voice and speaking like this, Situ Zhang's complexion has improved a lot since the Chinese New Year, and the eerie feeling he used to look because he was too thin is gone, because Xiao Nanzhu helped to drive away the evil spirits in his family of three. , so his overall luck has also increased a lot.However, his facial features are already delicate and feminine, and it is only because he often wears that old-fashioned attire at work that he looks weird.At this moment he was talking to Xiao Nanzhu in such a cryptic way, Xiao Nanzhu who heard the words also smiled back at him frankly, and seeing Xiao Nanzhu's silent and tacit appearance, even though he just knew about his sexuality, But as a friend, Situ Zhang was still happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, that's pretty good too. It's nice to have someone by my side. My parents are pushing me all day long, but I really don't want to deal with this matter until I meet the right person, but I feel sorry for that buddy." Ah, your scourge doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, don't let others down in the future, after all, you are so old, don't be self-respecting and self-loving, don't mess around anymore, you know Xiao Nanzhu..."

Situ Zhang's harsh words made Xiao Nanzhu speechless, but he also knew that he had a lot of black history with Situ Zhang, so he healed himself after coughing and nodded angrily. , and Situ Zhang, who rarely saw him with such a serious look, was also happy, squinting his eyes and said something.

"When are you going to have a meal with me? We're all a family, so don't be too polite, I'll help you get acquainted, hey, what do you do, is it a fitness coach or a sports school? Boy..."

"roll roll roll!"

Hearing that his words became more and more shameful, Xiao Nanzhu cursed and made a gesture to beat him, Situ Zhang smiled and dodged without paying attention and stepped on a puddle again.Even though they are almost 30 years old, these two people still love to mess around like they did when they were teenagers.Everything is still the same as it was when they lived in the old alley many years ago, and there is still the undisciplined spirit of the two of them skipping classes and playing games together, which makes Xiao Nanzhu, who has been in a state of mental tension recently, relax for a moment, And just when he was about to leave Situ Zhang's house after staying for a whole noon, Xiao Nanzhu had just walked to the door with a box of green balls, and Situ Zhang's mother chased him out calling his name.

"Hey, Anan, look at my bad memory, I forgot to tell you just now, two days ago I was packing things at home, and suddenly I picked up something of yours..."

Situ Zhang's mother spoke out of breath, and Xiao Nanzhu who heard the words was a little confused, so he still patiently listened to the old lady's words. Seeing this, the old lady smoothed it out for herself, and then put it in her pocket. He took out a small copper lock with a strange shape, and handed it to Xiao Nanzhu before explaining intermittently,

"Your uncle thinks there are too many messy things in the house. Two days ago, I watched some old furniture and old objects that I didn't use. I saw this little brass lock when I was cleaning the cabinet where the primary school textbooks are placed... Do you remember this thing? I remember hanging it around your neck when I was a child, but one day you lost it, you Grandma was so angry that she beat you... Now that I think about it, you probably came to play at home one day and left this lock on Zhang Zhang. It was because of the carelessness of this child that I haven't found it for so many years. , now I have found it for you, this is something you have always carried with you, you can't lose it again, Anan..."

As soon as the words fell, a cool metal object fell from the palm of Xiao Nanzhu's palm. The copper lock was all in the color of brass, and it didn't look like something valuable, but the odd thing was that it was on the small copper lock. The chain and even the clasp of the lock were engraved with some strange patterns, which did not resemble the cumbersome patterns of his own nation, but when he subconsciously picked up the copper lock and looked at the light under the cloudy sky, he had no idea about it at all. Impressive Xiao Nanzhu said doubtfully,

"Why don't I remember that I have this thing? This is what I always carry? Well? This is..."

Saying this, the voice came to an abrupt end, Situ Zhang's mother saw Xiao Nanzhu's complexion change in front of her, but she didn't understand what mystery he saw from the copper lock here, and squinted her eyes for a fixed look Behind the strange and familiar characters in the middle of the lock, Xiao Nanzhu, whose face sank, first tightened his hands on the cold lock, then lowered his head and asked Situ Zhang's mother,

"Auntie, do you really remember that I have been carrying this thing? Did my grandma buy it for me later? Or did I carry it before my grandma picked it up?"

Xiao Nanzhu's question was a bit straightforward, and Situ Zhang was a little embarrassed to be asked, but he still wanted to take care of his emotions. However, since Xiao Nanzhu asked this question, it must have his deep meaning, so the current old man The wife also didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Nanzhu, after thinking about it carefully, she said firmly,

"Yes, it is what you have been carrying. When your grandma picked you up, you had nothing on your body, only a suit of colorful clothes unlike ours and this lock hanging around your neck. At that time, the neighbors guessed that your parents It may be the ethnic minorities who work here, the children are born and can't afford it, so they give it... and you were four or five years old at that time, but you couldn't even speak Chinese, so..."

Situ Zhang's mother stopped talking when she said this, it happened many years ago, but she was afraid of making Xiao Nanzhu sad because of it, Xiao Nanzhu who saw this didn't care about it, because in his mind It has been completely occupied by something. After all, if he was full of doubts about his ability to understand the strange text before, now he is more confused about what relationship he has with the text. And thinking of this, Xiao Nanzhu with a gloomy complexion didn't waste any time, he just put the copper lock in his bag, and then quickly greeted Situ Zhang his mother and ran away.

Locks have always existed in traditional culture as an accessory to beg for good luck. In the old days, this kind of thing was mainly worn by children before adulthood. diseased adults.Because the meaning itself is very good, there will be various materials accordingly.The most traditional and common ones are gold, silver, copper, iron and jade and jade. Children of rich and noble families will have their own lock or jade pendant since birth. It is easy to die young, and another reason is that things like gold, silver and jade are the most essence and spiritual energy in the mountains.

In ancient times, it was often said that mountains have spirituality. A mountain is composed of thousands of stones, but only a small part hides its essence.If the selected stones are turned into gorgeous and precious gold, silver and gemstones, then they will naturally have the wisdom of the mountain.This kind of spiritual wisdom does not mean that they can speak people's words, but that after people dug ores from the mountains and made them into jewelry to wear, these gold and silver jewelry will become the owner's amulet, and even more What's more, it can prevent life and death disasters for those who wear it.

This saying has been around for a long time. It is said that jade and jadeite are of good quality, and it is also because of this reason that the ones produced in certain areas are particularly expensive.In Chinese folk taboos, there has long been a jade pendant that can ward off disasters. If one day the jade pendant you bring is lost, it means that it has blocked a bad luck for you. When it comes to the saying that longevity locks and jade pendants are closely related to people's luck, this has to add a bit of mystery to these jade, gold, silver and the like that seem to be dead things, but seem extraordinarily mysterious. And for Xiao Nanzhu at this moment, he is also full of doubts about the lock in his hand, which is not an ordinary gold and silver jewelry.

From the material point of view, the lock that is said to appear with him is really cheap, unlike iron or copper, it looks worthless.Its special feature is that it looks like a totem of a minority, and there is a word in the middle of the lock that Xiao Nanzhu has to pay attention to.

"Ji."

Unconsciously uttering this strange word from his mouth, Xiao Nanzhu couldn't figure out why he knew this word, and he couldn't figure out what it had to do with his life experience.After all, if you are really a minority, then no one knows this word and you can understand it.But he lived with his grandmother when he was four or five years old, and he lived in a Han environment for so long, logically he should have forgotten everything that belonged to his past.

But the strange thing is that not only did he not forget it at all, but he can immediately recall these words. There is no special nation with the Ji character in the nation, so the meaning represented by the Ji character can only be searched by himself, and just as he is carrying this lock with such complicated emotions, he is going to find Peng. When the forensics department of their department tested the specific ingredients, he suddenly received a call from the museum staff named Luo Jia.
