Chapter 10 Old Lai Po
When I opened the door of the shop, there was a man in his fifties wearing a Taoist robe standing outside the door.
A familiar feeling arose, and Zhang Gan's eyes lit up.
"Uncle Chen?"
The man also raised his head and looked at Zhang Qian with a smile.
"Zhang Qian, I haven't seen you for many years, it's all so big."
"Uncle Chen, hurry up and sit down, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right?"
Uncle Chen's real name is Chen Daoyang.
The heavenly doctor and the ghost, the water woman and the green bag, respectively refer to the four feng shui masters.
Zhang Qian's master Zhang Tianming is the last ranked green sac, and Chen Daoyang is the second ghost.
In the shop, Chen Daoyang sat at the table, and he looked Zhang Qian up and down: "I have two things to do on this trip. ”
"Uncle Chen, please speak." Zhang Qian's attitude was very humble.
"The first thing, your master once entrusted me to wait for ten years, come to Shiluo Street and hand over something to you."
Chen Daoyang took out a small wooden box and handed it to Zhang Qian.
After Zhang Qian took it, he opened the wooden box.
Inside was a thumb-sized pendant, a delicate little coffin.
The pendant chain is white, like a small bone spur, worn little by little.
Zhang Qian pinched the small coffin in his thumb and forefinger, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Is the old thing counted? He already knew that the Lin family was going to break the contract? ”
The process of making this pendant is complicated.
The bone spurs on the chain, each of which is engraved with a piece of birth date.
In the pendant of the small coffin, there is still a little ashes.
This is called the green sac coffin.
It is used as a person like Zhang Qian, a way to continue his life for a short time.
If there is no living person who can overflow his life, then use the ashes and bones of the deceased dead person with the same life, and make a green sac to fill the coffin, which can also play a role in overflowing.
It won't be long, though.
If it weren't for the fact that his master Zhang Tianming would have broken the contract with the Lin family, there would be no need to make such a thing at all.
This is very exhausting, and even detracts from Yangshou!
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Qian directly put the pendant on his neck.
"Uncle Chen, what about the second thing?" Zhang Qian looked at Chen Daoyang.
Chen Daoyang smiled and took out another envelope.
"The second thing is to give you one thing, but this time, I will also piggyback on it." "What?" Zhang Qian asked puzzled.
"He deceived you for twelve years out of selfishness, and I hope you don't hate him." After speaking, Chen Daoyang stood up.
Zhang Qian looked dazed and opened the envelope.
Inside was a thin piece of paper with an address written on it.
The place is in Xinchuan City, and Zhang Qian has never been to this place.
"What did the old thing lie to me? I just have this one life, or did he save it, what does he have to deceive me? Zhang Qian was a little confused.
Chen Daoyang stood up and put his hands behind his back: "I brought the words, although I haven't seen you all these years, Zhang Tianming is really to you, no matter what, he is still your master." After speaking, Chen Daoyang walked towards the outside of the house.
Zhang Qian did not keep any guests.
A feng shui master like Chen Daoyang has a cause and effect when he comes and goes, if he wants to stay, he doesn't have to speak, if he doesn't stay, it's useless to kneel down and beg.
Zhang Qian sat on the chair, frowning and looking at the letter, he touched the green sac hanging on his chest again, and muttered with a wry smile: "Old thing, what did you lie to me?" ”
"Twelve years ......" Zhang Gan's thoughts suddenly drifted back to twelve years ago.
When he met Zhang Tianming, he was already a dead man.
Originally, in Xinchuan City, there was also a Zhang family, which could be regarded as one of the last wealthy families.
However, the Zhang family offended powerful characters, so that they were calculated and their family was ruined.
Zhang Gan's parents are a branch of the Zhang family, and they didn't end well.
One night, a fire broke out in the side house where they lived, and the house burned clean, and the family lay neatly in the morgue from top to bottom.
Among them is Zhang Qian!
However, Zhang Qian was not burned to death, but was protected by his parents and covered in a soaked quilt, and in the end the fire was too big and he was choked to death.
Zhang Tianming fished out his body from the morgue and summoned his soul to renew his life!
Thirteen years old, although he is still a child, he understands everything.
The deep hatred of the blood of the family buried in the sea of fire made Zhang Qian hate and resent.
But he knows more well that the Zhang family is provoking people he can't afford to offend!
Even Zhang Tianming said that when Zhang Qian's life was not complete, don't think about revenge, just bury it in your heart forever.
Otherwise, you will die!
After staying on Paper Street for two years, Zhang Tianming did not let him take half a step out of the shop.
I'm afraid that the news that he is still alive will spread and he will be hunted down again!
After that, he followed Zhang Tianming back to the countryside, and for ten years, Zhang Qian never returned to Xinchuan.
Thinking of these pasts, Zhang Gan's eyes turned red and his hands trembled slightly.
Thinking about it, this is the only thing that the old thing can deceive itself.
got up and closed the shop and walked out of Shiro Street.
——
Half an hour later, the location of the address.
Dirty streets, and a huge dumpster on the street.
Most of the houses are still bungalows, and the best houses are two-storey houses, with tiled roofs and wooden windows.
This is the old town of Shinkawa City, which is also a slum.
The people who live here struggle on the edge of the food and clothing line every day.
The houses in the slums all belong to a gray force.
They charge about one-tenth of the rent for housing in the new urban area.
Renting a house in a slum costs only a few hundred dollars a year.
There are more than 100,000 poor people here all year round.
Zhang Qian walked into Jiucheng Street, saying that it was Jiucheng Street, the ground was full of potholes, stones mixed with mud, and there were many children squatting on the side of the road playing marbles.
The kitchen is basically outside the house, some women are washing vegetables and cooking, and the men are shirtless.
Many people looked at Zhang Qian cautiously.
Because Zhang Qian was wearing a Taoist robe, he was very special and clean, not like an ordinary person.
Zhang Qian came to No. 73 Jiucheng Street, this bungalow seems to be much more dilapidated than other homes.
There was a large pile of sacks at the door, which contained bottles of mineral water, cardboard.
An old woman with a slender figure squatted on the threshold to choose vegetables.
She looked horrible.
There is hardly a single intact piece of skin on the face.
All are hideous burn scars!
One eye is blind, twisted together by a knotted scar.
Her hands also seem to be wrong, and she can't stop shaking when choosing vegetables.
Zhang Qian stood under the old plane tree on the side of the road.
He clung to a tree trunk, unable to believe what he was seeing.
It lasted for several minutes before he murmured hoarsely: "Old thing, twelve years, you said that my whole family was dead, and I believed you for twelve years!" ”
"I didn't expect you to lie to me about this."
Zhang Qian let go of his hand tremblingly.
He has a complicated heart.
Seeing that his mother was still alive filled his heart with ecstasy.
But Master told him twelve years ago that everyone was burned to death that night, and he was the only one who was resurrected.
In the past 12 years, Zhang Qian has never doubted it at all.
But it was a lie!
Feng Shui masters pay attention to cause and effect, and if the master deceives him, there must be a reason.
Zheshou went to change the fortune of the Lin family, and the last thing before he died was to let him fulfill the marriage contract. even calculated that the Lin family would break the contract.
also made a green sac to fill the coffin in advance, and asked the earth ghost Chen Daoyang to give it to him.
If it is simply a master and apprentice, without this lie, these efforts can be explained by the relationship between master and apprentice.
But before that, there was a deception, and then there was a purpose.
Why, Zhang Tianming lied to him for the past twelve years?
What is his purpose? What else can he get except for a troublesome apprentice with five disadvantages and three shortcomings? At this moment, Zhang Qian frowned.
The two hangers, hooligan-like riffraffies, walked in front of the old woman.
"Old Lai Po, when will you pay the rent? It's been dragging on for three days! ”
Syllable!
A ruffian kicked over the vegetable basket on the steps, and the selected greens were scattered all over the ground!
The old woman looked flattering, and gave up her hands.
"My daughter will pay when she comes back from work, and she will pay when she comes back from work."
"Come back from work! Hehe, she hasn't been back for three days, has she? This little girl may have found a big sum of money and ran away, hurry up and pay the money, can't get the money, and get out of the house today! There are more people renting this house! I can't afford to wait for you. ”
The ruffian raised his hand and slapped the old woman in the face!
