The Tan family has settled in a small county in Anhui Province for nearly a hundred years. It can be considered a big family. There are hundreds of relatives in the family, and they are all over the power, shipping and taxation industries. When it was Tan Cen’s turn to get a job, he was in trouble. Although the three generations of his grandparents and grandchildren worked at the Electric Power Bureau, the central government issued a new policy to abolish the hereditary system of employees of public institutions. According to regulations, they must have a college degree or above, and then pass the formalities. You can only participate in the job with the application test. At this time, Tan Cen’s parents could hardly be broken.
To say that Tan Cen is a good kid, he just can’t read books. He has his share of playing marbles and smashing people’s windows since he was a child. But if you want to talk about exams, he started from elementary school. It often hangs on the branch, and few don’t hang the red light. After barely graduating from high school, if his parents couldn’t do it, just send him to the soldier. After spending three years in the army, after returning from the army, he can still go to the electric power bureau. So one came and went, and it was so negotiated. Decided to send Tan Cen to Fujian to join the Navy.
About 1999, Tan Cen had just turned eighteen. Tan Cen’s grandfather said that the child is young, so ask him Kuaiyu Guanyin before going out to keep him safe. The next day happened to be the first day of the junior high school, and the third generation of Tan Cenzu and grandson went outside the county to burn incense. There is a big green hill outside the city, which is so old and untestable for its original name. The locals simply called it green hill. There is a small Taoist temple on the green hill. There is only one sloppy Taoist who is about 30 or 40 years old in the temple. There is not even an old man guarding the door. Tan Cen’s parents took Tan Cen to the bottom of the mountain, but they didn’t have a car, so they could only walk up the mountain slowly step by step. After walking for more than an hour, I finally saw the Taoist temple on the mountainside, and the writing on the plaque was hard to read.

After entering the Taoist temple, I put three sticks of incense as usual. Tan Cen’s grandfather and this Taoist priest were old acquaintances, so the Taoist priest took out an inconspicuous brocade box from the back hall, which looked like an old thing, and the edges of the box were worn out. In the brocade box, there are three pieces of white jade carvings of Guanyin, each of them is exquisitely crafted, and the appearance of Guanyin is solemn and lifelike. Just pick a piece of it, the Taoist lazily said. Tan Cen’s grandfather hadn’t answered the conversation, but Tan Cen, who didn’t say anything aside, grabbed a piece and held it up and looked at it carefully in the sun.
The Taoist priest sighed, this child has good eyesight. Even if it is said that this piece of Guanyin is the best material, and the carving is also fine, it is authentic white jade of suet. Tan Cen’s grandfather paid 8,000 yuan for a good price. This was not a small sum at the time. The house in the small county was only 500 yuan a square. This piece of Jade Guanyin was actually half a house! Tan Cen’s parents couldn’t help but complain. The Taoist priest just didn’t know, helped them pretend with a smile, and chanted the scriptures before sending them down the mountain. The Taoist priest kept sending to the foot of the mountain. Before leaving, he solemnly said to Tan Cen that this Guanyin can protect you from a catastrophe. If someone calls you by the water in the future, you must not agree. Otherwise, there will be a disaster of blood and light. Remember!

But Tan Cen signed up for the navy, so there is no reason why he can’t enter the water. When I asked the Taoist priest how to solve it, he only smiled and said, and walked away from the water. If someone meets you by the water, remember to ignore him. The Tan Cen family couldn’t figure out their heads, they kept asking, and finally the question became too tight. The Taoist priest had no choice but to say, no matter what, he grabbed Tan Cen’s right hand, and there was no water, he spit from his mouth and dipped it in Tan Cen There was a doodle in the palm of his hand. The writing is fast, besides the saliva, there is no trace left. Then the Taoist priest handed him a small red paper seal folded into a triangle shape and asked them to go back and put it in the rice jar at home. If there is a big disaster in the future, if you see that the red paper seal is not broken when you open the rice jar, you can save your life. After saying this, the Taoist priest turned his hand and left. The Tan family only looked at each other with horror. For a long time, Yu Yu returned home. But for more than ten days, Tan Cen wore this jade Guanyin to Fujian.
One to three years. The Tan family remembered the Taoist priest’s parting words, only to facilitate relations, and arranged him to be a chef in the army. It is logical to say that a healthy boy who does not go to the sea and mishandles a submachine gun, but hides in the kitchen washing vegetables and cooking, is really a shame. But the Taoist said farewell solemnly. The child Tan Cen was obedient, and he was really upset, so he gritted his teeth and went to the cooking class. On weekdays, only training bragging, but also fine. Occasionally, some comrades in arms made fun of him and urged him to go to the sea to visit the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland, but he was determined not to go. Although Taiwan is across the sea, he just looks across the sea and smiles.
