[True Story] The past of the blind Chen

Text/Pinellia

Blind Chen, whose real name is Chen, all the elders in the village who can call him by his real name have passed away. He doesn't care if his peers or descendants call him blind Chen. He agreed happily when others called him.

Blind Chen is the eldest son of the family. He didn't graduate from junior high school and can read a few words. Because the family was too poor, the blind Chen dropped out of school and went home to help his younger brother and sister go to school. Chen was not born blind. At that time, blind Chen was thirty-two years old, ugly, short, quiet and had no wife. Somehow, his three sisters and two younger brothers got married one after another, and his parents left him when he was old. He became the biggest bachelor in the village.

No girl in Shili Baxiang is willing to marry him. Even divorced middle-aged women dislike him. Those who lack arms and legs don't dislike him. He dislikes others. Blind Chen had a love affair when she was young. She was Xiulian, the daughter-in-law of the village head next door.

At that time, Xiulian had not yet become the daughter-in-law of the village head next door. Blind Chen Man and Xiulian have a crush on each other. Xiulian is the most beautiful girl in ten miles and eight townships. Xiulian likes blind Chen Man because he is the most suitable man for her. Other men approached her for a purpose. Blind Chen Man didn't. Blind Chen Man really likes Xiulian. Xiulian wants to dig. Chen Man, a blind man, got up and planed Xiulian's field first.

As a result, Xiulian's mother quit. Xiulian's mother said that blind Chen Man was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat. She said that Chen Man, a blind man, didn't look in the mirror and wanted to play tricks on his daughter. Xiulian's mother beat Yuanyang. It wasn't long before Xiulian got married and married the village head next door.

Blind Chen's love died when he was young. From then on, blind Chen looked down on everyone, but no one looked up to him.

The youngest brother, Chen, is taken care of by blind Chen who lives with his younger brother's family. One year, his younger brother Chen went out to work. It was a winter, and somehow his house caught fire. Chen went blind to save his brother's daughter-in-law and two nephews. From then on, people called him blind Chen.

Blind Chen Man is finished. The old bachelor said nothing, but he was still blind. It is said that the blind man Chen Man is blind because of doing good deeds, but the eyes of the masses are "discerning". People say blind Chen Man deserved it. Why, because he peeked at his sister-in-law sleeping in the middle of the night, the villagers had nothing to do and stood under the big locust tree at the head of the village with melon seeds. Hey, you know what? Last night, I heard blind Chen Man knock on his sister-in-law's door. Oh, uncle and sister-in-law are at home. what can I do? It's just between men and women. Aunt Li next door to Xianghua said that she has a nose and eyes, just like what Aunt Li saw at Xianghua's house in the middle of the night.

On another occasion, I saw Chen Man, a blind man, and his brother's daughter-in-law walk side by side into the cornfield at the head of the village, talking and laughing all the way. It's shameless. You can do it in public. If Liu Sheng knew, you wouldn't be ashamed. This is what Wang Pangzi's daughter-in-law said at the village entrance.

Fat aunt sits in front of her house all day. Everything in the village passes by her door. There's nothing she doesn't know. Everything in the village comes from the fat aunt.

Chen is a young man, tall and handsome. Although his family conditions are not good, he may work hard and be willing to work. The matchmaker in the village is still willing to match Chen. That year, Chen was twenty years old, and Xianghua from the neighboring village married Chen. As the name implies, Xiang Hua is very handsome, just like Gardenia in summer, with intoxicating fragrance.

After marriage, the young couple lived in harmony. A year later, Chen's eldest son was born, and the family laughed from ear to ear. Xiang Hua is very happy because he gave birth to a big fat boy for Chen's first child. Chen Ye is happy, so are his peers, and so are blind Chen. He is happy for his younger brother Chen, really happy. Blind Chen wanted his parents to rest in peace, so the life of the Chen family passed.

Usually, blind Chen and his younger brother Chen are busy working in the fields. When they are not busy, they work for other people in the village to earn some money. Xiang Hua is clean and decent at home. Chen respects his eldest brother, Chen Blind. As the saying goes, "Big brother is like a father". Chen has been following blind Chen's ass since he was a child, and he is not a brother and sister, so he is very close to blind Chen.

Three years later, Chen's youngest son Niu Dan was born, and Xiang Hua had no milk, so he was very worried about Chen. The money earned by growing crops and working in the fields can't afford milk powder, so Chen goes out to work and sends living expenses to China every month. Chen only comes back for a few days all the year round, and fragrant flowers and dogs' eggs and cows' eggs become left-behind women and children, while blind Chen also does heavy work at home, and fragrant flowers don't do heavy work.

The fire incident did not cause much damage to the family. Chen is still working outside, but the blind man is blind. He can't do the dirty work at home, and he is less and less disliked by China. All the work at home and outside falls on Xiang Hua. She is more and more like Aunt Li next door and more like a fat aunt at the village entrance.

Not long after the fire broke out, Xiang Hua came back from the ground and passed under the big locust tree at the head of the village. Aunt Li and several fat aunts said that the night of the fire at home was because the blind Chen Man was peeking at the fragrant flowers and sleeping, squatting at the door with a kerosene lamp and accidentally caught fire. The truth of the matter is well known, but Xiang Hua didn't give the blind Chen Man a good look. It can also talk to blind Chen Man. Dog eggs and cow eggs like to play around uncle and don't let them go to China.

This winter, during the Spring Festival, when Chen came back from work, he saw that his eldest brother was eating so badly, and he scolded China. Xiang Hua began to cry, hanged herself after two sounds, crying and shouting. In the evening, Xiang Hua put Liu Sheng on the bed. After making out, Xiang Hua and Xiang Hua both said that Blind Chen was watching her sleep. In this case, the situation of blind Chen in this family is getting worse and worse.

Later, blind Chen found the village committee, which was the best thing that blind Chen did in his life. He wants to sue Chen and Xiang Hua and accuse them of abusing him. Xiang Hua suddenly quit, sitting at the gate of the village Committee, howling one after another, saying that blind Chen was spying on her and that blind Chen wanted to sleep with her. But the villagers are not surprised by this kind of thing, and the village officials of the village Committee are also relatively honest, so it is difficult to break housework. Finally, blind Chen discussed the result. Chen gives blind Chen 500 Jin of millet and 500 Jin of wheat every year, and several other brothers and sisters take turns to give blind Chen 50 yuan living expenses every month. Every month, the village gives 5 Jin of pork to the blind, and the study is next to the village temple, which is gloomy. Except for the fifteenth day of each month, someone will burn incense, and generally no one will go.

After the blind man lived in the study, he remembered Chen's childhood for countless nights. He called him big brother one by one, and he was very uncomfortable. Tears can't stop flowing downwards. Another brother and sister heard such a "scandal" and didn't want to take care of him anymore. No one knows how to live after a person is blind. That year, Chen Man, who was blind, was in his forties and almost fifty years old, which became what the ancient emperor said.

That year, my brother (the author's brother) was seven years old and playing by the river. I don't know what happened. Leg cramp fell into the river, and there was no one around. Although the river is not deep, the seven-year-old boy is still afraid and cries for help. Chen, a blind man, just went to the river to wash clothes with crutches. He heard shouts and saved his brother. Chen, a blind man, rescued his brother to the shore and asked him who the child was. After my brother reported home, the blind man Chen carried his brother in one hand.

Blind Chen saved his brother's life, so he saved his life. Father asked his younger brother to worship the blind Chen and call him michel platini. My father asked me to call him godfather, too. I don't want to call him because he is blind. My father said nothing. Since then, blind Chen has become a frequent visitor to our family. Everything cooked at home is delicious. Father asked his younger brother to take Chen, a blind man, to our home, and his younger brother did well in the exam. My father is glad to bring blind Chen to our home. In short, as long as there is any good news at home, Blind Chen will come to our home. At that time, our family had just arrived in the village from grandma's house, and we didn't know anything about Blind Chen, but he was my brother's savior.

Later, Chen Man, a blind man, became more and more familiar with my family. He was not as reticent as before. Chen Man, a blind man, is also a "lesson from the past", which completely subverts my understanding of Chen Man, a blind man. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the three outstanding men in Taoyuan, the Three British Wars against Lu Bu, Cao Cao's defeat of Huarong Road, Guan Yu's carelessness in Jingzhou, etc. , all from the mouth of the blind Chen Man. In winter, Chen Man, blind, has no place to keep warm. He groped his way to my house with crutches to keep warm.

Later, my brother and I also learned about The Journey to the West and The Water Margin from the mouth of the blind man Chen. On one occasion, blind Chen talked about the golden plum bottle with great interest. As soon as my dad heard this, he reprimanded me and my brother for going back to the room. Later, my brother and I overheard the conversation between blind Chen and his father and began to cry. Since then, blind Chen has become silent and doesn't come to my house often. I don't know what my father and blind Chen said, but I feel in my heart that I can't listen to the story of blind Chen anymore.

Why did Chen Man, a blind man, cry when he talked about the golden plum bottle? I occasionally heard his father talk about it afterwards. It turned out that on the night when Xiang Hua's house caught fire, two dogs in the village entered Xiang Hua's house. Blind Chen sleeps in the next room. When he heard something, he stood at the door of Xianghua with a kerosene lamp and asked Xianghua what happened. Naturally, he heard shouts in the house. It was so dark at night that Chen Man, a blind man, somehow caught fire at home. Two dogs took advantage of the help of the blind Chen Man, lifted their pants and ran away. Blind Chen. Xiang Hua was afraid that Chen Man, a blind man, would tell her about cheating others, so she made a rumor that Chen Man, a blind man, was watching her sleep, and people naturally believed the "story" of her uncle's son and sister-in-law. These things reached the ears of Chen, and Chen Ye believed them. No one believes Chen's lies.

Later, two dogs in Xianghua and the village were caught in bed by Chen. Aunt Li next door to the Chen family and the fat aunt at the entrance to the village are discussing planting melon seeds under the big locust tree at the entrance to the village. There are several versions about catching Xiang Hua, saying that Xiang Hua had an affair with many men in the village. When Chen caught him, it was actually two men and Xiang Hua in bed, but no one was saying that Xiang Hua was having an affair with blind Chen.

Later, Chen worked outside and died in an accident at a construction site. The foreman lost100000 to Xiang Hua, and it was over. Xiang Hua never stopped working. Xiang Hua became a widow, and more men in the village came to find Xiang Hua. These things have nothing to do with blind Chen, but one thing has something to do with blind Chen. Xiang Hua didn't farm, and no one gave him 500 Jin of millet and 500 Jin of wheat. This is bitter.

Chen, a blind man, gets old day by day and doesn't go out often. My younger brother is too academic to kiss my father. It's just that Chen, a blind man, often waits at the entrance of the village for his younger brother to leave school and give his younger brother some snacks to eat. One year, I remember very clearly that Chen, a blind man, went to his brother's school on crutches for the senior high school entrance examination. After the exam, my brother saw the blind man Chen waiting for him at the door. Son of a bitch didn't know if it was a conscience or something, so he took the blind man Chen home. That summer was the happiest summer for blind Chen. My brother often asks blind Chen to take him to our home. Blind Chen told us stories as always, but we didn't know his stories until we read books, and we knew that he had made some mistakes, but no one corrected him.

My brother was admitted to the city's key high school and started school two months later. That day, my brother was going to school, and the whole family saw him off at the entrance to the village. My brother looked around. I know who he is looking at, but blind Chen didn't send his brother, probably because he couldn't stand it. Since then, my brother has basically never seen blind Chen, and I have never seen blind Chen.

The last time I heard about blind Chen was six years ago. Chen, who was blind, died. No one knows what the cause of death is. All I know is that blind Chen has shut himself in his room and hasn't walked around the village for nearly a month. On the first day, there was a man burning incense in the village. He looked at blind Chen curiously. He opened the door and saw blind Chen lying on the ground, stiff.

According to my father, the funeral of blind Chen Man was very special. The villagers set fire to the place where the blind Chen Man lived. The fire is very strong. Everyone thinks that it is unlucky for blind Chen Man to die in this place. Even if his father tried to dissuade him, he could do nothing. After the fire burned for a day and a night, Chen's eldest son, Dog Egg, put some ashes in a crock, saying that the color of these ashes was different from others'. The conclusion is that. Bury him in the mountain behind the village, where it is quiet, surrounded by cypress trees, green grass and beautiful unknown wild flowers. Everyone praises the dog's egg for being good to his uncle. He didn't live in a good house before his death, but he will die with such a treasure.

Chen Yisheng, a blind man who was hated, can finally rest in peace after his death. He got a land of feng shui, where the seasons are like spring, the winter is warm and the summer is cool, and he can do whatever he wants on his own turf.
