Wang Leye originally lived with his wife Li Fengying and two sons and a daughter in a dilapidated mud house in his hometown. For years, they dreamed of one day building a new brick and concrete house where their children could live in bright and spacious rooms. Last year, Wang Leye finally saved 500,000 yuan in savings by working in the county, which was enough for them to build a simple new house.
The whole family happily moved into their new house. It is a small two-story building with a white-gray façade, located in an open space in the south of the village. On the first floor is the living room and dining room, while on the second floor there are three bedrooms. Li Fengying deliberately hung a New Year's painting of "Home and Prosperity" on the wall of the restaurant. On the day of the move, the three children were excitedly jumping around the house and playing various games. Wang Leye looked at the smiling faces of the children and couldn't help but reddened his eyes - all these years of hard work have finally not been in vain, and the children's living conditions have finally been guaranteed. In the first month of moving into the new house, the whole family felt extremely happy.
Behind the Wang family's new house is directly opposite a road in the village. The road is connected to the highway and is a main road in the village. At first, Wang Leye and Li Fengying did not realize that the road would cause problems. However, when they first opened the iron gate of the courtyard and were about to go out to run errands, a heavy truck carrying building materials suddenly sped past them, making a deafening horn sound that frightened the two of them pale. Since that day, similar scenes have been played out from time to time. Whenever the Wang family opened the courtyard gate, they could always see groups of traffic constantly passing in front of them, accompanied by noise and exhaust fumes. Li Fengying and her children gradually lost their sleep, always had nightmares, and woke up the next day with headaches and dizziness. Wang Leye got up in the middle of the night and stumbled to the toilet, obviously delirious.
Over the past few months, the Wang family's physical condition has deteriorated, and they have been coughing and running nose for many years, and it is suspected that the exhaust fumes emitted by road vehicles have poisoned them. After the torture of the first rush, Wang Leye decided to transfer the direction of the house again. This time, he turned the door of the house to the east, facing a towering ancient tree at the entrance of the village. It is an oak tree, more than two hundred years old, with a thick trunk that two people hug, a broad canopy, and lush foliage. At the beginning, Wang Leye was still complacent, there was a big tree at the door of his house to block the wind and shade the sun, how could it be a comfortable word. However, within a few days, everyone found out that the big problem was - the roots of the old trees had already reached into the foundation of the house, and the moisture brought by the root system made the foundation of the house moist and moist.
The three children's bedrooms were the first to be affected, with mushrooms growing on the floor and corners, and mold spots on the children's quilts. Then, the Wang family realized that the big tree had almost shrouded the entire yard in shade. It was difficult for sunlight to penetrate the leaves into the room, and everyone felt inexplicably depressed. Li Fengying's interest in cooking is not as good as before, and the dishes are repeated every dayChildren sleep upside down day and night, and have no mental Xi at nightWang Leye also lost motivation at work, and he was a bitter gourd face all day long. The roots of the tree invade, and the moisture is terrible;Lack of sunlight and a bad mood. The consequences of this second rush are also unbearable for the Wang family.
After living in the shadow of the old trees for a while, Wang Leye made another choice, turning the direction of the house to the west, which was directly opposite a fish pond in the village. This fish pond has a long history, and the water seems to be clear, but in fact it has long been covered with silt. The pond is overgrown with weeds, and villagers often come here to fish or graze. In the beginning, the youngest daughter of the Wang family especially liked the view by the pond. Every day after school, she runs to the pond to play and catch small fish and frogs in the pond. At first, Wang Leye and Li Fengying thought that the environment was beautiful, and they would often come to the pond to bask in the sun and chat. However, the good times were short-lived. After the beginning of spring, mosquitoes infested the pond water. Li Fengying and her youngest daughter had dense bags on their hands and feet, and they also had a high fever in severe cases.
In addition to the mosquito infestation, the fishy smell of the pond water also made the whole family lose their appetite and often feel nauseous. After suffering from floods and diseases, Wang Leye was determined to change the location of the house again. This time, he chose a location provided by a feng shui master – directly facing the chimney of his neighbor's house to the east. There was only one old man and an old lady in the neighborhood, and their house burned wood for heating, and the chimney smoked all day long. At the beginning, Wang Leye still felt that the chimney was not a problem, at most it was the occasional smell of cigarettes. But when winter came and the neighbors began to burn a lot of wood for heating, the Wang family understood the horror of the chimney.
Throughout the winter, the smoke from the neighbor's chimney barely stopped, and sometimes the smoke had a pungent smell of burning plastic. No matter whether the Wang family opens or closes the window, thick smoke and dust will always linger in every room. Li Fengying and the children soon had runny noses and hysterical coughs. At this time, the Wang family was already skinny, and the time they spent sick in bed was longer than the time they spent getting up and moving. After four shifts, the Wang family still couldn't get rid of their bad luck. Their bodies have been ravaged by noise, moisture, germs, soot, and their finances have been exacerbated.
Wang Leye originally saved 500,000 yuan to build a house, but because he changed the direction of the house many times, he had to borrow money from relatives and friends to rebuild it every time. Now he owes more than 800,000 foreign debts, and the interest will be repaid 2,000 yuan a month, which makes him dizzy day by day. Children are also affected by diseases. The eldest son suffers from severe asthma and needs to rely on inhaled nebulizers for a long time**. The second son kept having acne, and his face was full of ugly red spots. The youngest daughter has lost her original smart and playful personality, and she shrinks into the bed all day long without eating or drinking. At this moment, the five members of the Wang family fell to the lowest point in their lives. Wang Leye sat on the dilapidated recliner, recalling how full of hope and expectation he was when he built a new house, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was a tragic situation of ruined family and death.
After the torment, Wang Leye was determined to tell the people in the village about his painful experience, hoping to help them avoid following in his footsteps. One day, Wang Leye called several neighbors who were going to build a new house to his house and sincerely told them about the disasters he had encountered in the past year. The neighbors were surprised and said they would reconsider the location. Wang Leye emphasized that the quality of feng shui in building a house is very important. He analysed the lessons of his four mislocations, pointing out that the gate facing the road would have serious health implicationsFacing a large tree can cause dampness;It is susceptible to disease in the fish pond;The air pollution in front of the chimney is serious. He also explained in detail why these buildings are harmful to the human body, citing both theoretical and practical cases. In the end, Wang Leye sincerely suggested that you must consult Feng Shui or related experts, choose the ideal location for people and the environment, and avoid repeating your own mistakes.
The neighbors all listened to Wang Leye's advice with red eyes, and said that they would definitely find the most suitable feng shui homestead to build a house again, and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Wang Leye's plight has sparked reflections on the current problem of rural housing construction. In order to save money, many villagers chose vacant land to build houses at will, without considering feng shui, environmental protection and other hidden dangers. The suffering of Wang Leye's family made everyone realize that the problem of site selection cannot be ignored. In fact, cases like Wang's case are not uncommon in rural areas. The blind and radical housing construction movement has left many rural households living in long-term unsuitable conditions due to site selection errors.
They face garbage dumps, chemical plants, or are surrounded by high-voltage lines, but they dare not change the orientation of their houses. This affects not only the individual family, but also the sustainable and healthy development of the entire village and society. Therefore, Wang Leye's lesson deserves attention, and the relevant departments need to introduce more perfect housing guidance policies to protect the basic housing rights of rural residents. Only by allowing the vast number of farmers to live in good houses with reasonable feng shui, environmental protection and livability, can we promote the civilization and progress of the entire rural society.
