Chapter 23 Blacksmith, Carpenter, Taoist Priest

Previous Chapter

Liu Ping also took the dagger directly, without saying anything, this is a local custom, generally girls carry some gadgets, what daggers, short knives, hairpins, etc., are generally used for self-defense, or work in the mountains, when there is no time to go home for dinner, these gadgets can more or less start to work.

"Okay, this thing is for you, don't really use it, we haven't heard of any men daring to mess with girls in our realm for decades, if a man in your school dares to go to the women's dormitory, then someone in your dormitory must have hooked up with them, as long as you don't mess around at school, it's fine." Dai Fangxiu took a few bites, and then asked a little uneasy.

"Got it, grandma, come, I'll help you get some extra food, so don't be verbose!"

"Boom!"

"Oh, Mom, what are you hitting me for?"

"How do you talk about it? It's not big or small, grandma is not afraid that something will happen to you, do you really think that you are afraid that you will hurt others? We are afraid that you will hurt yourself. Liu Xuezhen knocked on Liu Ping's head with chopsticks and said.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, we'll pack two games of cards in a while, Pingping, you can play, right?"

"Yes, long ago. Liu Ping nodded.

"Okay, then eat it, a few plates later, you can use this dagger for self-defense, don't show it off, although this handle in grandma's hand is not a magic weapon, you can't do it by sharpening iron like clay, but if you use this dagger to stab the general wood, you can also come into it without a handle, you take it well, don't let the teacher confiscate it, your brother and I have been red for a long time, grandma is just reluctant to give it to me." Liu Shao looked at the dagger that Liu Ping casually placed on the table.

"I know, I'm done, you eat slowly, I'm going to buy two decks of cards. Liu Ping nodded, took a few mouthfuls of food, got up and took the dagger and walked out.

"This girl ......" Liu Shao looked at Liu Ping, who was hurriedly walking out, and shook his head.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat yours, Pingping is so old, she understands these things, Xiaojun, come, eat vegetables, don't just eat." Dai Fangxiu said as she sandwiched a few pieces of meat to Ding Xiaojun, who was worried about watching the meal.

"Oh, thank you, grandma. The corners of Ding Xiaojun's mouth twitched, and he thanked him, no way, this is all in the bowl, and he can't eat it.

After a meal, as soon as the table was cleaned up, Liu Ping ran in from outside the door, still holding two boxes of playing cards in his hands.

"Your time is quite accurate! Is there money in playing cards? You can't rely on the bills!" Liu Shao took the playing cards in Liu Ping's hand and began to pick out the three or four of the pokers, which were useless.

"Yes, my sister-in-law just gave us a red envelope, Hongbao's should be handed over, and mine should not be handed over, don't worry, when will your sister and I rely on the account." Liu Ping took out a red envelope and raised the scene.

"Okay, grandma, auntie, the card has been bought, and it has started, just let Xiaojun wash the bowl. Liu Shao shuffled the cards twice and shouted at the kitchen.

"It's okay right away, it's good right away, you guys wash your faces first, and the three of us wash the dishes, very fast. Dai Fangxiu's voice came from the kitchen, obviously not planning to let Ding Xiaojun wash the dishes alone.

…………

"Come, let's start, who will take the cards first?" A few minutes later, after Dai Fangxiu and the others finished washing the dishes, they looked at the washed poker on the table and asked.

"I'll wash it, Pingping, you cut it, I'll take it first. Liu Shao was not polite, beckoned Liu Ping to cut the card and began to take the card.

"By the way, grandma, did we have any legends of gods and demons in the past, tell us about it, let you distract yourself, otherwise we won't be able to beat you with this card!" Liu Shao asked while taking the cards. Since sensing the aura in the dragon pillar during the day, Liu Shao feels that this earth should not be as simple as it seems, and often some legends, maybe some real things have been deified, as long as you peel off some of the deified shells, you should be able to find out some of the foundation, as the so-called no wind and no waves, the foundation is a little bit.

"Don't do this if you're afraid of losing money, okay, it's okay anyway, you want to hear me tell you some strange things. Dai Fangxiu nodded.

"To say that our place, it used to be a poor mountain and bad water, since ancient times, it is martial arts and Chongwen, this martial arts is placed in front of the text, and there must be weapons to practice martial arts, what swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and hairpins are naturally indispensable, so in the past, this blacksmith had a very high status in our area, followed by the carpenter who built the house, and finally the Taoist priest who did the dojo, these three professions are in charge of peace, survival, and the afterlife, so these three professions in this area are also the most legendary, who do you want to hear?" Dai Fangxiu took a look at the ideas and talked about the source of these legends.

"Blacksmith's words, my dad used to strike iron, and I didn't see him able to call the wind and rain, speaking of carpenters, I just want to know if carpenters can go to heaven?" Liu Shao was a little unimpressed, after all, the name of the Taoist priest is too loud, and everyone knows that the demons and monsters are looking for the Taoist, but the carpenter is a little weird, and I haven't heard of the carpenter having a dime relationship with the demons and monsters.

"This carpenter, the legend is that most of them are harmful, after all, he is in charge of the house, the construction of the house, some people have moved to a new house, something happened to the carpenter, saying that they used their hands and feet when building the house, etc., but there are also a few more famous incidents, I will tell you about it.

The first is the most widely spread, but also the most evil one, this thing is said about the Ming Dynasty, our Liu family, Dai family, Li family, Chen family, Zhang family five families just immigrated from the SC side of the five family happened, that will just come, this side belongs to the deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible places, aborigines are few, after people come, there are more things, house, wasteland, choose grave mountain, etc., because the land is wide and there are few people, the land is easy to say, but this also to a large extent encroaches on the interests of the aborigines, but the five families who have just immigrated to the field, just arrived in other places, are very grouped, and there are not many aborigines, some troubles have been solved by the five families with some not very glorious means。

Later, within a few years, the Zhang family showed talent, which was not a trivial matter at the time, and planned to build a larger mansion, to be on the table, in ancient times, a little knowledge liked to visit friends and make friends or something, in case other scholars came to visit friends or something, if there were only a few thatched houses, it must be a matter of losing face, but there were no powerful carpenters in the five surnames, when they first came, it was okay to build some houses that could live in people, but it was difficult to build a decent mansion.

At this time, hey, Shaobao, how do you get the cards? How do you play the remaining four bottoms?" Dai Fangxiu suddenly felt that something was wrong when he took the cards, and when he counted the cards, he found that there were four cards left on the table, and quickly stopped.

"Uh, why don't you take it again?" Liu Shao scratched his head, he was a little fascinated by what he heard just now, and he kept taking the hole cards without counting.

"Give the money, give the money and start again. Liu Xuezhen smiled and put the cards in her hand to the card pile.

"Okay, okay, grandma, you go on, this time I'll count the hole cards first and then take them. Liu Shao didn't care, after giving the money, he started to shuffle the cards again.
