Chapter 9 Uncle and Catch Zhou

The two children applauded naked and supported back to the ancestral house, the grandfather opened the door to greet the brazier and the runic water, and the grandfather and the uncle tossed not lightly, the grandfather asked the reason, and closed the uncle's confinement, but the next day the whole village began to have a plague, and the water in the village, who touched it, began to fester, let alone drink.

Grandpa Tai had no choice but to take the medicine box to the village to treat people, but they all treated the symptoms but not the root cause, seeing that the people in the village were either festering to death or dying of thirst, and the water did not work, Grandpa Tai was completely helpless.

Whenever he talked about this, his grandfather always took out a wine jug and happily drank a glass of himself: "Candle, at the beginning, your grandfather and I used that stand-in method to save the whole village." ”

And grandpa said that the stand-in technique is to let the villagers take off all the clothes on their bodies at that time, smear their own blood and then throw it into the well to burn it, grandpa's most powerful thing is not this but let the villagers build a small building by the river, dedicated to the god of the newly named river god, relying on the power of the villagers' faith to fight the plague, grandpa's move was really successful, since then grandpa has become famous, who has an evil thing in ten miles and eight towns, please grandpa out of the horse, although it is a blind cat to meet the way of the dead mouse, but at that time only grandpa thought of this law, For this reason, the uncle was also not afraid of ghosts and gods, and was punished by the grandfather in front of the whole village to accept the family law, and then expelled from the family and did not let him live in the ancestral house.

Although the uncle does not know the art of exorcism and spirits, but he is a first-class good hand in business and study, as soon as he left the ancestral house, he was sent to the factory by the grandfather and did not study, and now he has become a big man on the rich side, and he has also been received by the national leaders.

Because of that incident, although grandpa and uncle had mustard, but blood was thicker than water, although the two of them met stubbornly, they still mentioned that incident to each other, but grandpa has already been at home. The uncle was willing to let his grandfather beat and scold him for the side branch.

It's been so far, and now again, my uncle carried me into the main house and didn't hand it over to my grandfather. Instead, he hugged me, took a stick of incense handed over by his hand, and bowed again and again to the spirit card of the previous generations in the main house.

"All the ancestors and ancestors, this candle is the first year old, and the special grasp of the week indicates the future direction of the family business, and the side branch increases the grandson of Xuantai, Han Ding, who has the courage to offer incense to find the traces, if it is not appropriate, please ask the ancestors and the ancestors to teach!" After the uncle finished speaking, he inserted incense, and then the grandfather brought a bowl over and put it on the offering table. Grandpa handed me the knife, and I cried so scared that I thought he was going to cut off my fingers. I broke free from my uncle's arms, my grandfather didn't cut my fingers, I don't want to be cut, because of my struggle. It makes Uncle very strange. I thought it was a precursor to my ancestor's disapproval, but it turned out that my grandfather saw my concerns and fell in my ear and said, "The knife is used to cut him, don't be afraid." "I finally quieted down, and the uncle's tentative ritual continued.

The uncle stretched out his wrist and stabbed it fiercely, and the blood dripped down his wrist into the bowl, and the blood flowed while the uncle muttered, "Uncle, you are so ruthless!" How can you bear to sharpen the knife so quickly, how much you hate me! Last time Joy Gift was one year old. You're going to make me lose money, and you're going to make me lose too much blood this time!" I owe you! ”

"Mind to be condensed! Shut up! They are all people with granddaughters, and they still look like children! Grandpa slapped the uncle on the head again.

"It's the grandson! What's going on? The wound hasn't coagulated yet? "Uncle's face has begun to turn white. The blood on his wrist was still flowing, and his grandfather didn't bandage his uncle, seeing that the blood was about to bleed.

"Prove that you are not sincere! Don't think about anything to continue. "Grandpa has never seen the wound that came to see the uncle.

Diverting the topic, you must be curious about why Zhou is so excited? This may be a special case of the Han family, since the Han family is divided into the family and the side branch, the two families must learn to cooperate, the eldest son or eldest grandson of the family, whether you have a spiritual root or not, when you are one year old, you have to rely on the week to determine the next investment trend of the side branch, and the ceremony is that the side branch of the family worships the ancestors after taking an empty bowl and putting it on the case, cutting the wrist with a sharp knife drenched with rootless water, and letting the blood flow into the bowl, when the wound does not bleed proves that your payment is enough, and then take three hundred and sixty copper coins, the ancient saying has three hundred and sixty lines, Therefore, it is necessary to prepare copper coins according to the ancient rites and then mark them with candles on the case and throw them into the cinnabar lacquer box and shake them well, and then talk about the cinnabar box to me, there is a small mouth on the side of the box, I only need to shake out ten copper coins, and then put the copper coins into the bowl by the side branch, if the bowl is water, the copper money will definitely sink to the bottom of the bowl, so use blood, and the side branch will be thrown slowly and slowly, if the ten copper coins are all floating on the bowl surface, then I will catch the week according to the ancient book to prepare the representative items of these ten professions for me to catch, If the first one sinks, then I don't have to catch the week, and directly invest in the profession represented by the sinking copper coin.

And the Yueli mentioned by the uncle at the beginning was the name of the father, and when the father caught the week, three of the ten copper coins floated, carpenter, teacher, and painter. Dad simply grabbed the wood saw, the uncle invested in the timber industry in the second year, and just started to make money, but after ten years, the loss was about to lose the aunt, which was said by the uncle himself, although it was not so exaggerated, but it was definitely a loss of money.

Coming back again, now the uncle's wrist is completely bleeding, a bowl is about to be full, the uncle's forehead has begun to sweat, the hand holding me has begun to tremble, it is estimated that it can't hold on, grandpa is not sure whether it should stop the bleeding, fortunately, the ancestor appeared, when the blood was just about to fill the edge of the bowl, the blood clot around the wound on the uncle's wrist coagulated, and the uncle breathed a sigh of relief, "I almost died when I asked for money." ”

"Say a few words, the copper coin is ready, you can put it yourself." Grandpa urged the uncle to put the copper coins into the cinnabar box, the uncle did so and handed it to me, the three hundred and sixty copper coins are not ordinary Shen, I didn't shake it at all and threw it directly on the ground without waiting to catch it, the cinnabar box broke open, and the uncle was not angry but laughed, "The candle is good, and those stunts are all thrown off." There were only a few copper coins left in the cinnabar box, and the rest were scattered on the ground, so the uncle picked up the seven copper coins and put them in the bowl.

"One, two, three, haha four! Five, six! All six of them floated, and the happy uncle couldn't help jumping, and an old man was holding a one-year-old child and he was still happy like a child, and I was speechless.

"Quick, uncle, classics, my blood is not in vain, this time it is six choices, I don't believe that I will lose money this year!" The uncle happily urged the grandfather to take the ancient score to determine the occupation on the copper coin, and the grandfather just handed over the classic book, and then the uncle returned it to my grandfather's arms.

"Ten, shadow puppeteer? Twenty-three, catch fast? Eighty-eight, the pig killer? Hehe, it's okay, it's okay and there are three more, your candles really leave me speechless! One hundred and two, the undertaker! It's okay, there are two more, hehe" I felt that the uncle was forcing a smile, and when he took out the copper coins and turned them over to the profession represented by the two copper coins, the atmosphere froze.

It must be a water product (to be continued......)
