Chapter 152: Cheap Friendship

Standing in front of the city gate of Sijiu City, with a bowl of hot big bowl of tea and a few pickle gnocchi, Xie Men Shen ate a few stick noodles brought out from Chaotian's house, but instead of walking towards the already noisy and busy city gate hole, he followed the direction of the root of the city wall and walked straight towards the Pudu room outside the city.

But counting the whole of China, there are many rules and big scenes, and the Sijiu City designation is a well-deserved head signboard!

Regardless of the dignitaries, Confucianism, high-ranking mansions, poor streets, as long as they are people who live a life, they all have their own rules. Even if a person lives to the end of his life, the rules of the scene after death are not old or young!

What to hold the pot, lay the knight, take three, send three, open fireworks, rob the river rice people, set off the flames, recite the official scriptures, ask the monks and nuns to write "sparse heads", ask the Taoist priest to "melt the word", ask the monk to make "bala noodles", such a rule and etiquette to go down, so that the deceased can be buried in peace.

In the funeral business that guards these rules, there are really a few masters in Sijiu City!

No one knows the first big name, only that the rivers and lakes are called small tea houses. The voice is clear, the words are round, and people are also born smart. There is a large white master in the family invited a small tearoom to support the scene, and sent three o'clock to urge the guests to the table, and the small tearoom opened its voice and shouted: "Everyone, you avoid grievances, thank you for building a house another day, please send you three!" ”

The voice was crisp and audible, and in the shouting without a hint of command, it was all imperative, even if the scene was chaotic, it all calmed the voice of the small teahouse.

The second one is the deacon who commands the coffin bearer, and the one who is called the ruler in the funeral line. also did not leave a large size on the rivers and lakes, and only took the first black lacquer and gold ruler in his hand to make a name.

Just waiting for the barman to put the big and small bars on his shoulders, the deacon with the black lacquer and gold ruler played the ruler in his hand all the way according to the rules of small bars and single rulers and large bars and double rulers, and his voice was crisp and full of hustle and bustle. Along the way, the bar is changed without revealing the coffin, only by the coffin cover connection, in the sound of the ruler is crisp, the sound of people is quickly replaced, and the sound of the ruler is dispatched back and forth, never missed.

And this third place, however, left a name in the Sijiu City - the great name Quanfu, and the scene reported the number 'a pinch of hair', which started with paper money, and taught the disciples, and was good at throwing high and scattering. On the broad street avenue, I grabbed a handful of paper money and sprinkled it into the sky, and I watched the paper money flying like snowflakes in the sky, covering half the street from a height of one zhang!

Some experts who know kung fu have seen Quanfu's craftsmanship, and they also talk about it in private, saying that Quanfu must be a child's kung fu that plays a small walk, and maybe what he practices is the kung fu on the dark green child, so that the fluttering paper money can be thrown into such a scene!

But I don't understand, Quanfu, who has such a good kung fu, how did he enter the funeral line in the lower ninth rate?

It is not uncommon for the residents in Sijiu City to abide by these rules and respect such exquisiteness, but even those who fled from the countryside to Sijiu City and died of starvation, there are still various ways to pay attention to it in Sijiu City!

Anyone who saw those lying on the street had to be quickly reported to the patrol police on the street. When the patrol came over and saw it, and judged that this lying down was freezing and starving to death, and there was no one else, then he looked up to the side of the street to see which shop and the face of the house was facing the lying down, and then raised his leg and stretched out his hand - according to the old rules in the city, whoever has a lying down at the door of the house will have to pay three cents!

Resting in the nonsense of the lords of the four or nine cities, this is also called sending the mourning god, spending money to find a place to be buried in the earth, and the world's feelings and underworld relations are all complete, so as not to let the lonely soul who lies down come to the door!

The first one is naturally the sole money and bath money for the patrol officers on the street. Don't ask for much, just a piece of the ocean!

Before I woke up in the morning, I was called over to see me lying down, and I didn't care about the hard work for the time being, how to say it, I felt a little filthy, didn't I?

Shouldn't you buy a new pair of shoes for the patrol officers to wear, and then go to the bathhouse to find a master to rub their backs, and go to the old mud and bad luck on their bodies?

The second part of the money is given to the handle of the four seas in Sijiu City, and the price of half an ocean, Tong Suo is not deceived.

That is, a half-new and not old board car, there is a car board fence that is missing three or one, as long as it is money, what is the bricks and rubble of the house, the dregs and waste water of the old sauerkraut jar, plus those who died of cold and starvation, all of them do not refuse, and the business is not stingy, it is very world-wide, and this car naturally has the name of the four-sea car.

After taking enough money for the car, he drove the four seas to make a broken reed mat and roll up the upside-down corpse on the side of the road, and went to Pudu Village outside the city, and handed over the upside-down corpse and the last burning money, which was also half a piece of ocean, to the man in Pudu Village, and then took a burning list with a handprint from the hand of the servant, and returned to the city and sent it to the patrol police. With this burn list, the patrol officer can also go back to the patrol police station and receive another piece of clean street silver issued by the patrol police station - half a piece of the ocean!

If you want to say that there are five elements and eight works in Sijiu City, but if you have a little to do with the official, there is no silver that does not let the geese pluck their feathers and drift all the way. But in this matter, there is really no patrol officer who dares to stretch out his hand, and no one dares to use some crooked brains in this matter!

According to what those patrol policemen who have been fighting on the streets of Sijiucheng for many years - people can bully people in this life, but they will never dare to bully God and deceive Lord Yama! If you really stretch out your hand in the matter of God giving birth to people and Lord Yama receiving people, then maybe you will have to attract a dry thunder when you go out of the door, and it will be difficult to hit all the way down from the heart of the top door, and it will be difficult to ask for a whole corpse, and you will have to end up with a complete soul!

But everything has to be said twice, according to the rules of the work that lives in Pudu Village, but all the lying corpses that are sent to the hands of Pudu Zhuang have to be returned to Pudu Zhuang's clothes. Wait for Puduzhuang's work to pull off all the clothes and objects on the body of the lying corpse, so that the lying corpse can be safe. If you bump into the lying down and die, you have to use fire to refine the corpse to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and then put the refined ashes into the ground.

Speaking of the head, thirty percent of the clothes and objects sold in the ghost market in Sijiu City must have flowed out of the hands of Puduzhuang's servants, to say the least

No one can say anything about this - the work is a cheap business, and he doesn't even dare to say his name to lose the business of his ancestors, and the official face will give a few oceans of hanging money in a year, and then don't let the person make up for it, and let the family live?

Counting it carefully, the people in Sijiu City who can deal with the people who can deal with the gang are just yamen such as the patrol police station. Whenever he bumped into a case that had to be judged by the cause of death, a few patrol officers pinched their noses and went to Pudu Village outside the city, and shouted from a distance of eight zhang where was the boundary of the crime, so they hurriedly turned around and went home, for fear that if they stayed for a while, they would be contaminated with the bad luck on the body.

The patrol police are still like this, let alone ordinary people?

It has to be said that it was a coincidence, seven or eight years ago, there was a famine, and the city was almost full of refugees fleeing to the city to beg for food. On the street, you can see more than a dozen starving people lying down at the end of the day, and the servants in Pudu Village outside the city are about to find a place where they can bury the corpses, so they can only pile up the lying corpses that are sent every day and bury them in a big pit, and then erect a tombstone made of wooden lumps, and write the day of death with a red pen, and even the name and surname of the lying down can not be left.

But in this way, the wild dogs who were originally near Pudu Zhuang naturally looked for a place where they could fill their stomachs. After more than ten days of hard work, almost the hundred and ten wild dogs gathered in a pile ate the dead corpses, their eyes were red, and they saw Puduzhuang's work taking the four sea carts towards the cemetery and swooping upwards!

Wild dogs have poisonous teeth, especially after eating too many rotten corpses, the wounds are red and swollen and festering after biting, and they can kill people after three or five days of hard work! Even if there was no seizure at the time, it would not be long before the person who was bitten would see the wind, be afraid of seeing the water, and afraid of hearing the sound for some reason, and it would be a mad end.

In just three or five days, the people living in Pudu Village caused the wild dogs who ate corpses and ate red eyes to bite several of them. Two of them had a narrow life, and they fell ill with a fever in only a day or two. I took the car to the city gate, and then called Sijiu City to invite the doctor of Tongrentang to come and see, and the doctor in Rentang also shook their heads, only saying that this was a mortal disease, and some analgesic and soothing drugs were prescribed, so that those who had a fever went to the bridge to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup in their sleep, and they were also spared more living crimes!

It was almost half a month of hard work, and the four or five people who originally lived in Pudu Village were left with a unique performance called Dong Er

What's even more terrifying is that the 100 wild dogs actually regard the cemetery where Pudu Zhuang is buried as their own hunting ground, and they have never been entrenched, and even when they see a living person, they begin to pounce on it!

Seeing that there were more and more upside-down corpses from the four sea carts in the city, but the wild dogs near the left of Pudu Zhuang were always entrenched, and it took a lot of effort to kill a few wild dogs.

Originally, I thought that the people in the ordinary Sijiu City were taboo to deal with characters who were acting like a man, and Dong Er, who came to the door with a four-color snack to ask for help, was already ready to be swept away by Xie Menshen. Unexpectedly, after Xie Menshen stood at the door and listened to Dong Er explain the reason for the matter, he turned around and entered the courtyard without a sound, and after a short time, he went out with a few bows and crossbows and dozens of black crossbow arrows, and followed Dong Er to Pudu Village outside the city!

It has to be said that Dong Er is in his fate, and everything will be fine if he handed over the matter of killing wild dogs to Xie Menshen, but I don't know what Dong Er thinks in his heart, obviously Xie Men God has repeatedly told Dong Er not to go to the place where the corpse is buried to probe his brain, but Dong Er listened to the wild dog barking in the distance, but he still grabbed a rusty wood-splitting axe and ran to the cemetery!

――Don't be afraid of the side, if there is something wrong with Xie Men God, then Dong Erke, who invited Xie Men God to hunt wild dogs, will have to bear the burden of hanging up with endless food!

But in this way, it is a bad arrangement that Xie Menshen has already made - eight crossbows and dozens of crossbow arrows that can shoot out a fan of crossbow arrows in the eight-crossbow tiger crossbow array, Xie Menshen found a fairly sturdy and tall old locust tree early and climbed it, looking at the danger of using his body as bait, but in fact, he was well protected by the eight crossbow bows, and he would be fine at all.

But Dong Er was so reckless that the few remaining wild dogs suddenly shifted their targets and rushed straight towards Dong Er. Although Dong Er wielded an axe and smashed a few wild dogs, when he arrived, he still asked a wild dog to bite him on the face and tore off a piece of meat alive.

Hurry up, Xie Menshen jumped down from the tree and killed the last few wild dogs, but looking at Dong Er, who was covering his face and was scared in pain and frightened, he was already paralyzed on the ground, but he was really worried!

It's usually called a mad dog bite, if you are lucky, you can quickly find a doctor who knows how to do it, and maybe you can pick up a small life!

But if this kind of carcass-eating wild dog bites, even if the ordinary doctor prescribes a prescription, I am afraid that he will have to add a sentence after the prescription - do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven!

Especially if Dong Er is injured on his face like this, I'm afraid that if it doesn't take a day or two of effort, this person will have to go crazy if he doesn't die

Seeing that Dong Er was screaming in a panic, the tall and tall Xie Men God had a tofu heart, and he couldn't see anyone suffering and waiting for death, so he lifted Dong Er from the ground, twisted his eyebrows and said to Dong Er--I know a piece of earthwork and brute craft, and it doesn't matter if it works!

Govern?

Or is it incurable?!

That is, the idea of using a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Dong Er let Xie Menshen press a red-hot soldering iron into the wound on his face, and in the smell of green smoke and burnt flesh rising in the air, Dong Er simply fainted neatly!

By the time Dong Er woke up from his coma and shouted for water, it was already seven days later, and although the scar from the soldering iron left on his face had not grown, and he could feel hideous and terrifying at a glance, he had finally saved his life!

And after knowing that Xie Men God stayed in the house where Pudu Zhuang lived and took care of himself for seven days, Dong Er almost fell off the bed and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Men God three times!

But counting in the city, I can't find a person who can take a look at the behavior of the people, let alone take care of the people for seven days.

To tell the truth, this act of the god of Shamon is what the characters in the line have begged for many years, but have never been able to ask for - being looked at as a human being by others!

People say that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. But this also points people to speak. As far as Dong Er's mixed deeds are concerned, he can't repay the god for saving his life even if he breaks the sky-there are people in Sijiu City who are particular about taking money from their hands to receive benefits, but even if they are living people who use Yin Si money, they are not afraid of bad luck, but they are also afraid of affecting their children and grandchildren, right?

Therefore, when Xie Menshen left Pudu Zhuang, he also carried the crossbows and crossbow arrows he brought, and took the reward he deserved after hunting wild dogs, and the eldest son didn't take more from Dong Second!

But since then, in the courtyard of Xie Men's house, there are always people throwing things into the courtyard wall in the middle of the night.

Sometimes it's a bag of laundry, neatly folded. There are adults and children, although the size is a little uneven, but after the sewing is modified, it can also be managed on the size of the Xie Men God family to cover the cold.

Sometimes it's a small bag of grain, sorghum millet rice, stick noodles and mixed beans, no matter how it tastes and how much it is, it can be mixed with some elm money wild vegetables to boil in a pot, and you can always satisfy your hunger!

During the New Year's holidays, there will be a small box of dim sum thrown in from outside the courtyard wall. On the left, there are just some pea yellows, cloud cakes, sugar piles, and walnut cakes. Adults look at it as a thing that can't eat enough and seduces gluttonous insects, but children can be happy for days with this!

It was also outside the courtyard that someone threw things in, and outside the city outside the house where Pudu Zhuang lived, some people began to hang some wild things on the branches of the big tree in front of the door.

Sometimes it's two pheasants, a hare, sometimes it's half a sheep, or a whole stoat. When it is freezing cold, there may be half a frozen gray wolf hanging on the branches!

Whether it is Xie Menshen or Dong Er, although it is said that Dong Er has never taken a photo since he came to his senses, the courtesy between these two people has never stopped. It wasn't until Xie Menshen's family really couldn't open the pot and had to sell their ancestral house that the two really broke off contact.

Seeing the big locust tree in front of the house where Pudu Zhuang lived from a distance, Xie Menshen, who was sweating profusely, slowly slowed down, but shouted towards the house behind the big locust tree: "Is Second Master Dong at home?" ”

Facing the shout of the god of Xie Men, the wooden door of the hut with no lacquer opened in response, and Dong Er, who had a huge scar on his face, came out: "Which one are you Xie Ye, the god of Xie Men?" (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
