Chapter 34: There Are Ghosts in Your House
Han Xiufeng and Pan Er returned to the paper shop, just made a fire to wash rice and make supper, the pillar came back with a wooden box on his back, and said happily as soon as he entered the door: "Fourth brother, I thought the tea gang was so powerful, the guest director of the Huguang Hall spoke, and they didn't have to listen honestly." ”
"The porter who was killed was buried?" Han Xiufeng didn't bother to explain to him that this matter was not so simple, and motioned for him to wash his hands.
"Buried, only Uncle Guan and I know where to bury, and their turtle sons can't even think of breaking their brains." The pillar said proudly while washing his hands: "The eldest master sent Uncle Guan to pass the word and asked me to bury the body, and the turtle sons of the Tea Gang still stopped them, saying that they had bought all the coffins, and they wanted to transport the coffins back to their hometown in Chaling, and they wanted to return the fallen leaves to their roots." Uncle Guan was on fire, showing the chain to take someone, and the guest director of the Huguang Hall immediately came out to play a round, and turned around and said a few words to them, but they didn't dare to put a fart. ”
"Even if the person is killed, even the bones are not allowed to be transported back to their hometown, and they don't know where they are buried, and in the future, there will not even be a place to burn paper in Qingming every year, and the tea gang, especially the bitter master, can swallow this breath, and this feud can be regarded as a big one!" The more Han Xiufeng thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The pillar sat down at the table, picked up the rice bowl and said with a smile: "What else can you do if you don't do this?" Fourth brother, although the big head is not good at brains, but after all, he is our brother, so we can't watch him pay for his life. ”
"That's right, let's not talk about it, eat supper."
"Oh," the pillar sandwiched a chopstick pickle, took two bites of rice, and couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, where is the big head, did you come out?" ”
"I'm out, I'm bailing out in the morning."
"How much money did the Chuan Gang spend on this?"
"Three hundred taels."
As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Pan Er couldn't help but correct: "What's more, three hundred taels, the silver given to Master Gu is not silver?" The money I entrusted you to Wang Jingcheng the night before was not money? Besides, this matter is not over, the Sichuan Gang has to give him the next entanglement to go to the capital with us, and it will be fifty taels! ”
"Get together, fourth brother, the big head wants to go to the capital with you?" The pillar was taken aback.
Han Xiufeng had no choice but to tell the ins and outs of the matter, the more Zhu Zi thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and said with a sad face: "He can go to the capital with you for a lawsuit that almost eats people's lives, what is this!" Fourth brother, what should I do if you are all gone? ”
"What happened before and what will happen in the future," Han Xiufeng could understand his mood, put down the dishes and chopsticks and persuaded: "Zhuzi, you are different from us, I have four brothers, and my father has my eldest brother, second brother and third brother to take care of, so I don't have to worry about it at all." You're the only one in your house, if you come with me, what will your mother do? Besides, you have to help take care of my aunt and sister. ”
It's troublesome enough to bring a melon baby with a bad brain, Pan Er doesn't want to bring another bad luck, so he said coldly: "Zhuzi, stay at home honestly, wait for your fourth brother to make up for the lack and become a Shangguan, and when we make a fortune outside, I will come back and take you all to enjoy the blessings." When the time comes, the fourth brother will be an official and will not be available, and I am not an official, but I will be free. ”
"Really?"
"What are you lying to, even if I Pan Changsheng lied to you, the fourth brother can't lie to you."
"Well, I'll wait at home for your letter."
……
The more the three of them chatted, the hotter they became, looking forward to the bright future of being an official and making a fortune together, and they were looking forward to being drunk and obsessed, when someone knocked on the door outside.
"It's so late, who?" The pillar asked, looking back.
"I, Jiang Liu of Chaotianmen."
"It turned out to be the sixth brother, I'll open the door for you, don't smash it, if you smash the door panel again, you will smash it......"
The pillar muttered as he removed the door panel, and when he unloaded the third piece, he exclaimed: "Big head, your turtle son has caused such a big trouble, why don't you find a place to avoid the limelight, what are you doing in my house?" ”
"The eighth master asked me to come," the big head tightened the luggage on his shoulders, looked at the coffin shop next door, and then looked back at the shroud shop opposite, and muttered reluctantly: "You think I want to come, if the eighth master doesn't let me come, I won't come!" ”
"Go in, go in and say." Jiang Liusheng was afraid of being targeted by the people of the Tea Gang, so he pushed his big head into the house, and then followed up and advised: "Pillar, put the door panel up, don't let people see it." ”
"Sixth brother, wait."
"What's wrong?"
Zhuzi looked back at Han Xiufeng, and then pointed to the big head and said, "Sixth brother, I know that you want the big head to go to the capital with the fourth brother, and I also know that the fourth brother nodded, but isn't it that he hasn't left yet, why are you in a hurry to let the big head come over?" ”
"You can't stay at the dock, the dock is full of the eyeliner of those turtle sons!"
"If you can't stay at the docks, I can stay here?" Thinking that the eldest head could go to the capital with the fourth brother, and he could only stay here to watch the family, the pillar was depressed, and pretended to be unhappy and said: "This is my family, I have an old lady, and there is a mother-in-law in the countryside who has not passed the door, I am not afraid of trouble?" What if those turtle sons of the Tea Gang knew that the big head was with me? ”
"Don't worry, they can't imagine that the big head will be here, and besides, you and the big head are also brothers, you can't die without help." Jiang Liu patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the Eight Immortals Table and said, "That's it, I still have to talk to your fourth brother about business." ”
Datoutian is not afraid of the earth, he is afraid of coming to this gloomy place, thinking that there are ghosts in the pillar's house, and even thinking that there is a dead smell on the pillar, so he actually covered his nose and said stupidly: "What are those turtle sons of the Tea Gang afraid of, I will fight one when I come, and I will fight a pair of two, and it is not that I have not beaten before." ”
"Hit, what do you know besides beating? This is the eighth master, the sixth brother and the fourth brother, if there is no eighth master and fourth brother to help you run outside, your turtle son will be put on death row in a few days, at most he can live until next autumn, wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading! "It's good that he doesn't speak, and when he opens his mouth, he gets even more angry.
"Isn't it just killing the head, what is there to be afraid of, the head falls off and there is a big scar, and after eighteen years of labor and management, he is a good man!"
has no heart and lungs, and the hundreds of taels of silver from the Sichuan Gang are really in vain.
Han Xiufeng really couldn't listen to it, so he raised his head and stared at him and asked, "Big head, can you try to say another word?" ”
In the mind of the big head, the scholars are all Wenqu stars, and they can't offend or even talk back, so they drooped their heads and muttered: "Fourth brother, it's not that I want to say, it's the pillar that said it first......
"Put your luggage down and sit over there."
"Oh."
"Fourth brother, the eighth master is right, you can cure this turtle son." Jiang Liu took out a silver ticket from his arms and put it in front of Han Xiufeng, and said with a smile: "The dock is full of the eyeliner of the tea gang, the big head really can't stay, it's okay with you, as long as he doesn't go out, no one knows he's here." ”
"Did you hear that, since you're here, stay in the house honestly for me, and don't go out!" The pillar couldn't help but look back.
Datou looked at the paper figure next to him and asked nervously, "What if you are not at home?" ”
"We're not at home, and you're going to have to stay honest."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"You're not at home, I'm scared alone!"
"Aren't you very capable, you're not even afraid of killing people and killing heads, what else is there to be afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of ghosts," the more the big head looked at the paper figures, the more panicked he became, and he couldn't help but move to the side, muttering as he moved: "There are ghosts in your house, there are ghosts next door, and there are ghosts in the door, there are a lot of ghosts here, I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid of ghosts......"
