Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Master Comes to the Door
Zhao Dafa took a few masters who supported the faΓ§ade and led Zhao Xiaopin to sleep for a while, and when the stars were still quite bright at night, he took the guy who ate on the road first, after all, the road to Fengshan was too far, and he couldn't wait for dawn.
A few people haven't received a job for too long, and they are a little anxious to get on fire, and they are in a hurry along the way, and from time to time a few people ask Zhao Xiaopin, the master, what is the situation.
Zhao Dada asked the most questions, and said, "Have you first understood what kind of house this master wants to build?" β
Zhao Xiaopin thought for a while and said, "Does my uncle remember the big family in Xinghua Youyang?" β
"Is the Lin family in Longshan Village, Youyang Township?" Zhao Dafa is sixty and two this year, which is considered to be a rare long-lived old man, and Zhao Dada is not only old, but also has a tough body and bones, and his brain is not confused at all, so he can still be the head of this group of Luocheng masters, and the younger generations below also obey him.
"That's right, it's the Lin family that is quite magnificent, this time the owner said last time, he plans to build a big house as grand as the Lin family."
Zhao Xiaopin's words, made a few hearts immediately hot, they still remember the grand occasion of the Gai Lin Mansion back then, the house dozens of masters and apprentices were busy for a few months, when the completion of the Lin rich man pulled the head of the family at that time, that is, Zhao Dada's brother, drank the banquet for three days, at that time Zhao Dafa followed behind his brother's ass and had honor, thinking of the Shaoxing rice wine that was entertained, and now Zhao Dada's mouth will smack a few times.
But Zhao Dafa didn't think too optimistic, and said: "Don't think too well, we have worked hard one by one over the years, and met a few great and kind people like the rich man Lin, not only the wages were paid on time, but also a master sent a big red envelope after completion, and even the little apprentice had a few silver coins to receive the reward." β
A few people are not as sophisticated as Zhao Dada, thinking about the recent situation over the years, but in fact, most people still want to spend less money to do beautiful things, and when it comes to paying, they are very picky, thinking of this joint, several people are much calmer.
A few people first arrived in Xinghua County, this road is still quite familiar, to Xinghua and then to Fengshan and more than 20 miles, walking and walking to Fengshan Bazaar when it is almost noon, this is still a few feet fast, weekdays are doing some heavy work, can stand the rush of this road.
I really can't stand it when I get to Fengshan, a few people keep complaining in their mouths, and they are even more suspicious when they see the ghost appearance of this bird not pooping in the countryside of Fengshan. Who to cover it for, the ancients often said that it is better to walk at night than to go home if you are rich, and it is normal for people to go home to show off, but the countryside of Fengshan is too desolate, so barren that people have the idea that pomp and circumstance in this kind of place is sick.
Zhao Xiaopin is very good at observing faces, seeing that the anger in the hearts of several elders has come up, if he can't find the so-called Liangchuan of Fengshan today, he will definitely be demolished by a few elders when he goes back. A few elders didn't move, but he was quite quick, and when he saw people, he asked where Fengshan Helu was and how to go, for fear that there would be some chaos again.
Finally crossed the Stone Horse Bridge, here is the boundary of Lianqian and Chihe, and then you can go to He Lu by crossing the mountains and rivers, but the patience of several people has been almost volatilized, there are many small roads in the countryside, and I have walked several times in a row.
Recently, there have been cases of cattle dying of strange illnesses in the three villages, and when they saw people walking around the village, several people were stopped several times, but fortunately they looked more honest and did not have any bad behavior, and the three villagers did not embarrass them too much and let them go.
A group of people went around and around to the bridge, thinking that this bridge was the only way for these villages, and maybe they could wait for Liangchuan here.
The five people sat at the head of the stone horse bridge and were helpless, calling the heavens and the earth to be ineffective. Suddenly, an old woman with messy hair, unkempt white hair, and two empty eyes walked into the Longshui Temple tremblingly, and worshipped the gods inside.
When she finished worshipping, Zhao Xiaopin respectfully walked to her side and asked politely, "Auntie, how can He Lu go?" β
There was no vitality in the old man's tone, but he said plainly, "Come with me." β
Zhao Xiaopin hurriedly motioned for a few people to get up and follow them. The old man walked very slowly, and a few people thought that there should be no mistake now, so they patiently followed the old man.
Zhao Dafa is worthy of being an old ginger, with rich life experience, and asked the old woman more on the way: "The old sister asked you personally, you have lived in Helu for so many years, do you know Liang Chuan?" β
The old man's eyes were hollow, and he shook his head as he listened to Zhao Fafa's question, but he didn't even answer. Zhao Dada's heart sank, what is the situation, if the locals should know, especially these old people.
Could it be that people are fooling? But it's no good to fool them into coming to Xinghua for a trip!
It's not going to be an old fool, are we're going to follow a crazy old woman stupidly?
When he arrived at He Lu, the old man said lightly that this is He Lu, and staggered to a small road, and then walked farther and farther, no longer knowing a few people.
Zhao Dafa and a few others were stunned when they looked at this incomparably desolate scene, this is even poorer than their Wangsun Village in Luocheng Township, they can't even see a single figure, they don't have any vitality at all, can there be a man-made three-entry mansion in this kind of place?
Zhao Dada looked at Zhao Xiaopin hatefully, first gave a scraper to the back of Zhao Xiaopin's head, and scolded in his mouth: "What a fucking bad luck, I was tricked!" β
Zhao Xiaopin was beaten so that the back of his head hurt, he didn't dare to squeak, he hid aside, and rubbed the back of his head vigorously to relieve the pain of the chestnut just now.
Zhao Jinyu and several masters were unwilling, so they made an appointment to ask the nearby people separately. After a pillar of incense, several people came back one after another, and Zhao Jiasi came back and said angrily: "Second uncle, we were really tricked by others!" β
Zhao Dafa glanced at Zhao Xiaopin fiercely, and said to Zhao Jiasi: "Don't worry, speak slowly, what did you ask?" β
Zhao Jiasi said: "I just went to the innermost family in front of me and asked, what do you guess that family said?" β
"How?"
"That family is a fat woman, how disgusting and disgusting she looks, and there is a man in the family who looks like a soft egg, and has been squatting on the ground, and I asked a few words without saying a word. Then I had to ask the disgusting fat woman, I asked if there is one of you named Liang Chuan, and she said San'er, yes. I guess it's the Liang Chuan we are talking about, and I'm happy. And then I went on to ask, do you know where his family lives, and guess what? β
Zhao Dafa has a bad temper, and he was tricked for another day, his mood was so bad that he almost jumped out of his mouth with a sentence of guessing your wife, Zhao Jinyu knew that now was not the time to joke, and said: "When did you still joke about Jia Sidu, what happened later?" β
"The fat woman pointed out to me a vacant land, where there was not even slag left, pointing to the vacant land, the fat woman said, Oh, that is Liang Chuan's home, after saying that, a basin of dishwashing water almost didn't splash on me, snapped the door shut, and ignored me."
"Burned?" Several people said in unison. "Are people still alive?"
"I went to look at the clearing, and there were only two straw huts that had not been built, and there was not even a ghost! It's all burned down, what can be used to build a new house? β
It's over, it's really been pitted, it's all burned out, and you can't see the figure, where can you find someone? Zhao Dafa sighed deeply, he was really dead hearted now, and he didn't complain about Zhao Xiaopin, and said to a few people: "Let's go, go back." "That look is extremely lonely.
As the leader of the current group of mud masters in Wangsun Village, he has always felt that the burden of his body is quite heavy, and dozens of people follow him to eat, but he has no ability to feed these people, and his back is becoming more and more rickety. It turned out that he couldn't have too many illusions about Zhao Xiaopin's words, this posterior was still young, and he was not sophisticated enough to roam the rivers and lakes after all, it was his own fault, and he ran away for a day with a few people.
The five of them followed the same path and prepared to return to Luocheng.
At this time, Brother Zhao happened to come back from Fengshan to buy medicine for Ye Xiaochai and them, followed by a cheerful black nose, and the two groups happened to meet on the road. Zhao Xiaopin was quite disappointed because he had no meritorious service, he kept his head down all the way, and he didn't see Brother Zhao walking towards him, but when Brother Zhao passed by, he looked at Zhao Xiaopin and felt familiar, and asked a lot, "Aren't you the thief who stole our fish in Xinghua yesterday?" β
This is the Liangchuan gang that I have in mind! Zhao Xiaopin listened to this familiar scene, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, big brother, I have so hard to find you.
A few people have just arrived in Helu, what kind of thief who steals fish? Who do you scold? Zhao Dafa is usually a decent person, how can he bear this kind of words, he was about to have a seizure, Zhao Xiaopin grabbed Brother Zhao and said to Zhao Dada: "Uncle, the people we are looking for are them!" I mean, they don't look like they're bluffing! Zhao Xiaopin was so excited that he was about to cry, and several elders gave him a blank look. Where is your eldest brother, take us to your eldest brother, these are the famous and famous house builders in Luocheng that he wants! β
Brother Zhao led a few straight to the He ancestral hall, Liang Chuan because building a house is the most important thing, he didn't dare to run around these days, for fear that these expensive mud masters would find people who He Lu couldn't find him. He raised an axe to chop firewood in the yard, the original firewood was burned, and today he went to the mountain in the morning to carry a hundred catties of firewood and came back, and now he is chopping neatly.
Liang Chuan looked at Zhao Xiaopin and a group of people coming over, and said with a smile: "It seems that the bet was won." β
