On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the insects were stunned.

In Sandaokan Town, eighteen miles east of Qiancheng County, Chenyuan Road, Republic of China, the old house of the squire landlord Liu Mou and Master Liu, Master Liu was talking to Wu Banxian, a fortune teller in Donghe Township.

This Wu Banxian is in his fifties, with strange bones, with two long beards, is a famous local figure, and he also went to Beiping City in the early years, and he has great knowledge, so the squires of ten miles and eight towns have a lot of courtesy to him.

But at this moment, Master Liu was a little anxious and asked him: "What you said about Lu Da, can he do it?" ”

Wu Banxian said: "That Lu Da was born in the Meishan Sect in the early years, and later entered the Luban Sect, his master Lotus Leaf Zhang was as famous as the style of the north in the early years, and later the Qing court cracked down on the Luban Sect, and he also dispersed. Master Liu, this matter is that someone made Lu Ban tired of art - this disgust, to put it bluntly, it is a curse, someone buried something in your new house through evil law, which made you a bunch of bad things here, the invasion of yin and evil, so that your little son was also seriously ill, and what about Lu Da, he has two unique skills, one is Lu Ban axe, carpenter's craft, and the other is Lu Ban Shengshu, which is specially used to crack the ......"

Listening to this Wu Banxian's speech, Master Liu became more and more anxious - the eldest of his family was on an errand under the great warlord He Jian, and the second child went to the school in the capital, maybe he would go to study in the East, and he was a promising child, and the only regret was that he was not by his side all the year round.

The remaining youngest son Zhiren, only thirteen years old, Cheng Huan kneeled, but never thought that because of the construction of the house, caused trouble, since the illness a few days ago, I don't know how many doctors in the city were not used, so anxious that the mouth was full of sores.

He asked, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

Not long after, the servant replied, saying that the old butler's son Dayong had already led people to the entrance of the town, and he would come soon.

Hearing this, Master Liu immediately got up, and Wu Banxian did not dare to slack off, the two of them went out of the house together, came to the mansion outside and waited, not long after, on the bluestone road in the distance, a few people came, the first one was the son of the family Dayong, and beside him, there were two people - a black and thin old man wearing a cyan coat and carrying a dry smoking gun, and the other was a young man with a huge wooden box on his back.

The wooden box was tall and large, almost the size of two young men, and everyone else was smacked by it, but the young man did not change his face, and walked step by step, his breath was even.

When Master Liu saw it, he secretly felt that Nalu Daguo was really a capable person.

When the two sides met, Wu Banxian, as an intermediary, stepped forward to help introduce - he had a few encounters with this old man called "Lu Da", and he had some friendship, but not much, and that Lu Da, although his temper was a little cold, but at least the politeness was still there, and Master Liu also felt that the other party was a superior person, and deliberately greeted him, and the two sides also talked very happily.

Master Liu saw that the young man next to Lu Da was only fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a huge wooden box and luggage, and motioned to the servant next to him to help pick up things, but the young man refused.

Later, Master Liu learned that this young man was a disciple of Lu Da, surnamed Gan, and called Gan Thirteen.

The guests were welcomed into the hall and sat down, and the young man placed the wooden box on his back by the door, and then stood behind his master.

As a Chinese, Wu Banxian introduced the situation to Lu Da - the cause of the matter is very simple, that is, Master Liu is going to build a new house for his eldest son for marriage, the house has just been built, and it has not been built for a long time, but it is full of strange things - first the villagers who are domestic servants said that they saw ghosts at night, and then the wood was stolen, and then the vigil patrol went crazy, talking nonsense everywhere, and the workers who worked fell off the beams of the house and broke their legs......

In the end, Liu Zhiren, the youngest son of Master Liu, went to the construction site of the new house once, and when he came back, he had a fever, night sweats night after night, and was unconscious......

This matter is full of evil doors, and the county sent people to see it, but they didn't find anything, so they found Wu Banxian.

Wu Banxian is a good fortune teller, and things are average, but fortunately, he happened to know that Lu Da was in the nearby realm, so he came up with an idea, wrote a letter, asked people to take it, and found Lu Da over.

After listening to the situation, Lu Da closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then said, "Has Master Liu ever made a feud with someone recently?" ”

Without waiting for Master Liu to answer, Wu Banxian said with a smile: "The old lady is a well-known benevolent person in ten miles and eight towns, not to mention building bridges and paving roads, donating money to education, not to mention those tenants of their own family, the rent is less than half of the others, and in case of trouble, they are harmonious, and they have a good relationship, who hears about it, and they don't give a thumbs up?" How is it possible to make a feud with someone? ”

When Lu Da heard this, he asked again: "Does the new house built occupy other people's land?" ”

When the son of the housekeeper next to him heard this, he immediately said: "The land is naturally occupied, but the owner has made up for it, replaced the foundation, and has a large area, and does things fairly, and no one will be resentful." ”

Hearing this answer, Lu Da put the cigarette pot in his mouth, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "In this way, it's strange—and take me to see your son." ”

Everyone got up, went to the backyard, and came to the room of the third son, Zhiren, Lu Da retreated from everyone, and only brought his little apprentice in.

The two walked into the inner room, came to the bed, and saw the third son of the Liu family who was covered with a silk quilt on the mahogany bed and fell into a coma, and Na Lu's face was a little less indifferent.

He turned his head and asked the young man next to him, "Thirteen, do you see something?" ”

The young man thought for a while and said, "Yin Tang is black, his qi and blood are dim, he should have suffered a curse. ”

Lu Da said: "This is natural, I am talking about other things. ”

The young man nodded and said: "When that Dayong spoke, his eyes glanced down, his fists were clenched, and he looked a little weak-hearted, presumably what he said may be false, so it may not be our carpenter who thinks about it and does it, but the villagers who have been expropriated and have grievances......"

Lu Da nodded, and said You can see it clearly, and it is in vain what I have taught over the years. However, the world is changeable, the human heart is sinister, even your eyes can deceive yourself, so don't make any assertions until it's verified, you know?

The young man bowed his head respectfully and said that he understood.

Lu Da glanced at the man on the bed again, then walked out of the room with his apprentice, and said to the people waiting at the door: "Go to the construction site of the new house." ”

Master Liu was already afraid of such evil things and didn't want to be contaminated, so even if there were professionals like Lu Da, he didn't dare to act rashly, so the two of them accompanied the master and apprentice together, but it was the middleman Wu Banxian, the housekeeper's son Dayong, and a few family members.

That Wu Banxian has learned, but his ability to do things is a little shallow, and at this moment, he met a famous person like Lu Da and other famous people in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally won't let it go.

He continued to flatter and ask for advice along the way, as the so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", the other party is so bent to welcome, Lu Nature will not put on a shelf, the two of them chatted while walking, but it was also lively.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one, and the professional thing will be up to the point.

Wu Banxian couldn't ask deeply, and saw that although Lu Da was strict with his disciple, there was a little kindness between his eyebrows, so he changed the topic and talked about this child.

Lu Da said: "This child has a hard life, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he drove out the clansmen, and there is no way to live, and he was rescued by me, but he has no understanding of our business, except for a handful of strength, he is also good at handicraft, and he is barely a little carpenter; As for my mantle, I'm afraid I can't inherit it. ”

Wu Banxian smiled and said You are laughing, I see that this child's eyes are smart, dark and swarthy, like a three-year-old child, and he is a smart person at a glance.

Lu Da said seriously: "What I said is true, he will only do some carpentry work and help with some hands; The things on the side, the same will not - but what I have learned, it is not a good craft, I have many classmates, because the magic is vicious, contrary to the principles of heaven, I have been cursed by the 'lack of a door', either no queen, or disabled, or relatives suffered, I have been accumulating virtue and doing good deeds over the years, but after all, I can't escape that fate, even gave birth to three girls, until my mother-in-law died, I can't get a big son, so that now the girls are married, I am alone, just wandering with a little apprentice, and the four seas are ......"

Wu Banxian knew that this was powerful, and he didn't dare to say anything, just smiled.

On the way, he called the young man "little brother Gan", and the young man was amused at him, saying that you call me a little carpenter, and everyone calls me that.

After a short time, after passing through the long street, the group came to the construction site of the new house in the west of the town, which occupies a wide area because it is the future residence of the eldest son of Mr. Liu, the house has been beamed, the courtyard wall has been built, and building materials such as wood and bricks are piled up in the open space.

It stands to reason that this should have been a hot construction site, but at the moment, there is no one else except for the two family members.

The housekeeper's son, Dayong, told everyone that since the accident last time and then the news of the evil here, the workers did not dare to continue to work.

It's a matter of life and death, even if it is double the salary, no one dares to try.

And Master Liu's eldest son will get married next year, this house must be built, and the construction period is tight, so I am also anxious about this matter.

The little carpenter Gan 13 followed the master into the construction site, and before he could stand still, he felt a chill all over his body.

Then, he felt a tingling pain in the corner of his right eye.

He turned his head and looked to the right.

On the right is a pile of fine wood, cut straight and neatly stacked in one place.

Next to the wood sat a little girl in a red jacket.

She.

At the little carpenter.

Laugh.

That smile is like ......

Thirty-nine days.

Ice.

It's frighteningly frozen.
