    Later, on the way home, I once again saw the grand scene of the collective charge of the drowned ghosts and underground ghosts.  This time, there were more ghosts, but both the drowned ghosts and the underground ghosts were stopped by the powerful yang energy from their crazy attacks.  I saw countless ghosts turned into fly ash by Yang Qi.  It was this time that I further realized the importance and power of Yang Qi.  If the human beings in the yang world were not protected by their own yang energy, how many people could resist the charge and attack of the ghosts?  Of course, it was this time that made me more sure that I didn't really die.  Otherwise, the self who was reduced to a dead soul would have been purified into nothingness by the incomparably powerful yang energy.

    In the loneliness and boredom, I gradually felt strange.  In the dead of night, it is precisely when ghosts haunt.  Generally, before the sun rises, it is the time when the yin energy is at its peak. Of course, this moment is also the time when ghosts and ghosts are the most rampant, so there is a saying of "darkness before dawn".  But strangely enough, I have never noticed any sign of ghosts.  In fact, I still look forward to ghosts, because whenever I face ghosts, my long-lost vision will miraculously partially recover.  At that time, although I couldn't see anything in the Yang world, at least I could clearly see all the ghosts and the dark space where the ghosts lived.

    Why is it that I was repeatedly attacked by evil spirits in the hospital and on the road, but now I can't see any of them?  In thinking hard, I seem to want to understand the truth.  After all, now I'm back home.  In a village with a lot of people, the power of Yang Qi is obviously much stronger, so ghosts and ghosts usually stay away.  Even if there are a few blind ghosts wandering here, under the protection of the two gate gods, they don't want to approach me and harass me.  Perhaps, it is precisely because of the exuberant yang energy and the mighty door god that I cannot see a trace of ghosts when ghosts are at their most rampant.

    In the memory of thrilling scenes, I managed to stay up until the early morning.  Fortunately, the time was not too long, otherwise, this loneliness would be enough to drive people crazy.  Finally, I started to hear footsteps, I started to hear that intoxicating noise God!  I am finally saved!  At that moment, I had a great pleasure of being released from the cage.

    Perhaps, you will find it boring to listen to those people's conversations, but I don't think so.  I think, if you lose so many abilities that you only have one sense of hearing left, then maybe you, like me, will not find this kind of listening boring.

    At that moment, I cast my hearing completely like a fishing net.  I heard all kinds of sounds, some from nature, and of course more from people.  People in different places talk about different things.  In the case of not particularly attracting my attention, I listened to every place without making a choice.

    You must not think that I have a bad habit of peeping into other people's privacy.  I only did it because I was really, really bored at the time.  Even if I accidentally overheard something private, then with my personality, I would never make it public.

    Suddenly, there was a conversation that caught my special attention, because their discussion involved the person I care most about¡ªmy son.  They mentioned the issue of food delivery.  Yesterday, we rushed back overnight, so according to the custom, from this morning on, my son should bring me meals.  And the person who brought up this topic was a descendant of me in my family who was over eighty years old.

    What, you are only in your early 60s, and others are in their 80s, how can you return to your younger generation?  Maybe, after you hear it, you will ask such questions.  However, the size of this generation does not depend on age.  Those descended from the same ancestor, if the lineage is thin, the seniority of this lineage will be high; on the contrary, if the population is strong, the seniority of that lineage will be lower.  For example, if one of the peers of the same age had a child at the age of 18, and the other had a child when he was old, then the two children born to them are the same generation.  The children born of these two contemporaries with a large age difference are naturally also of the same generation. If the younger one has a son when he is old, then the descendants of his lineage will naturally become higher in seniority.  However, among our family, our lineage belongs to the latter, so although we are not very old, our seniority is surprisingly high.

    When I mentioned this old man, I felt a little funny.  Because, the acquaintance of my wife and I was introduced by him.  In his wife's natal family, according to seniority, this old man is a generation older than his wife.  But who would have thought that just by introducing him so casually, we would really be together.  After we got married, according to my seniority, the poor old man was actually a generation shorter than his wife.  As the so-called "marry a chicken follow the chicken, marry a dog follow the dog", after the wife marries, she will naturally follow me in this generation, so in our village, the poor old man should logically call his wife "Auntie".  This old man and I belong to the same ancestry (family) tree, so when I was young, the old man had already started calling me"Uncle".  Because it has always been like this, it is easy for the old man to call me "Uncle".  But when it was his wife's turn, the poor old man couldn't cry anymore.  After all, my wife has always called him "uncle" since childhood.  Since then, being unable to say "Auntie" has always been a rare laughing stock for this poor old man in his life.

    After all, the old man has made a lot of contributions in matching me and my wife, so my wife and I are very grateful for his kindness as a matchmaker.  Whenever the old man is embarrassed, with my consent, my wife will take the initiative to rescue him and call him "uncle" enthusiastically.  My wife and I unanimously declared to the outside world: "Each calls according to each other"!  The so-called "according to each name" means that each person freely chooses a reasonable appellation according to the seniority they agree with.  For example, my wife, she thinks that according to the seniority of her natal family, she should call the old man "uncle".  Of course, my wife can be called that, but our child is from the same family as the old man, so we can only call the old man according to the seniority of my family.  This concept is naturally also recognized by the elderly.  Therefore, when my two children see the old man, they will only call him "brother" or "big brother", and it is impossible to call him "grandpa" according to his wife's seniority.  Of course, even if my children really do this, the old man will never agree, because the old man is more serious than my feudal thinking (in feudal society, men are respected, so the ranking of generations is naturally based on patrilineal blood.  relationship shall prevail).  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
