Chapter 54: The Fifth Daily Mission
The Buddha said that wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones. Wealth is a tiger descending from the mountain, and anger is the root of trouble.
But Shen Mo felt that wine was sometimes a shortcut between men to open their hearts.
Huang Ba, who had drunk alcohol, gradually opened his heart to Shen Mo and sued the tragic experience of his life.
Hedong paper yellow refers to the Hedong Huang family that is specially designed for Yin people to tie paper people.
The Huang family has been making a living from paper for generations, and Huang Ba is the eighth oldest in the family, and he is named Huang Ba on the word.
He is also the only heir in the family who inherits the craftsmanship of the paper-making people.
For no other reason, with the development of the times, no one is willing to learn the craft of paper binding.
Huang Ba was the youngest in the family back then, and was tricked by his father with a sugar gourd, and learned this craft in ignorance.
When Huang Ba grew up and became a teacher, he found that the craftsmanship of paper-making people had long been eliminated by the times.
In this era, few people would ask a paper-binding person to make a paper-binding figure for a deceased family member.
Even if there is, it is difficult to feed Huang Ba.
Man has to eat.
In desperation, Huang Ba had no choice but to change careers, from the beginning of the hotel apprentice, to the bank security, to the hotel waiter, in just two years to change five or six jobs.
It wasn't until Huang Ba was twenty years old that he met his current wife.
She is gentle,
She's kind,
She's simple,
She's lovely.
Huang Ba seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, bursting out with the power of the desolation in his body, trying his best, and finally hugged the beauty.
On the day of the wedding, Huang Ba swore that he would treat her well and make her happy for the rest of his life.
After marriage, Huang Ba and his wife used their savings to open a bun shop, and the business was good, and life got better day by day.
His wife also gave birth to Xiao Huang for Huang Ba, and Xiao Huang Shen Mo was a good child who had seen him very obedient and sensible.
Originally, his wife and children were hot on the kang, and Huang Ba felt that his life was worth it.
But God made a big joke with Huang Ba.
Just some time ago, Huang Ba took his wife and son back to his hometown to visit relatives, and when he passed by the mountain road in the countryside, he was startled by a boulder that suddenly rolled down from the mountain, and the car lost control and rushed off the cliff.
Huang Ba narrowly escaped his life, but Huang Ba's wife and son all paid for it.
Such a shocking change made the originally happy Huang Ba almost collapse.
He was in pain, remorse, self-blame, powerless, and in just a few days, it was as if he had aged ten years.
Just when Huang Ba was in a trance and was about to collapse, he suddenly remembered what his father had told him before his death.
My father said, "When a person dies like a lamp goes out, his soul has no place to turn on, and he needs to enter reincarnation." And our craft can not only protect the soul into reincarnation, but also leave the soul in the world. โ
Huang Baru woke up in a dream, like grasping the last straw, rushed into the mourning hall of his wife and son, and took out the skills that his father taught him back then.
First take nine feet of oily yellow paper, and then pick six taels of cinnabar material, take three coins of Jinjin as the line, a gas finger as the needle, line nine yin six roads and three roads, hook the soul into the paper, summon the soul for seven days, and then possess the soul.
So, Huang Ba used Hedong's unique technique of tying paper yellow to ingest the souls of his wife and children, and attached them to the paper-binding people, so that his wife and children could return to him.
The happy family of three was reunited.
In the novel, this should have been the most perfect finale.
But the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very tragic.
On the third day of Huang Ba's resurrection of his wife and children, a lame old man came to the village.
Lao Dao seemed to have a premonition of something, and went straight to Huang Ba's house, threatening that Huang Ba's move violated the reincarnation of the Great Dao, and he must burn the paper-binding people, surpass the soul, and re-enter the reincarnation.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the monk in the prosperous era is the Taoist in the troubled world.
The foot-skimming Taoist seems to be weak, but in fact he is as powerful as an ox, his strength is extraordinary, and his Taoism is not shallow.
Huangba scuffled with him, and after a few moves, he was defeated.
If it weren't for the people of the same village to stop it, the paper binders of their wives and children would have been burned to ashes by the Taoists.
Huang Ba, who knew that he was not the opponent of the Taoist people, fled back to Yancheng overnight with his wife and children.
This escape is an escape to the present.
Therefore, when Huang Ba's wife and children knew that Shen Mo was also a fellow believer, the first thing they thought of was to escape.
Because they are afraid that silence will be like the foot-slapping Taoist, who will destroy their home that they have finally broken and reunited.
Huang Ba finished telling his story, and the wine and food in front of the two were also eaten.
Huang Ba looked at Shen Mo in silence, waiting for Shen Mo's answer.
A hint of burgundy rose slightly on his silent face, he looked at Huang Ba, got up and walked to the back of the bar, took out the box that had been placed behind the bar, and opened the box, inside was a Peppa pig carved from wood.
Shen Mo handed Peppa Pig to Huang Ba's hand.
"Brother Huang, this is the toy I gave to the little yellow eagle, I said before, when he comes back, I will give him the toy."
Huang Ba held Peppa Pig and choked up to prevent Shen Mo from seeing his face.
Silent, he could hear Huang Ba holding back his sobs there, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Brother Huang, cry if you want to, don't be ashamed of a man crying."
Huang Ba's tears couldn't stop falling down, falling on Peppa Pig's wood carving, wetting the wood carving and wetting the silent heart.
He's just a father, a husband, what's wrong with him?
There is no right or wrong in this world.
It doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost.
As long as you are worthy of your heart, you deserve to be respected and understood.
Silently watched Huang Ba take Peppa Pig's wood carving and hobbled back to the Eight Immortals Bun Shop, the tears in the corners of his eyes had long been erased, and his face was replaced by a fatherly smile.
When Huang Ba left, he silently closed the roller shutter door of the Fu wood carving shop, spared the messy first floor, and went directly to the bedroom on the second floor.
The computer on the second floor has been installed, but it is not connected to the Internet, so it can only be used as a decoration for the time being.
After a busy day, with the help of alcohol, he lay silently on his back on the bed.
With a thought, he silently opened the daily task list.
Your daily tasks have already been refreshed.
Shen Mo wanted to see what kind of daily task would be this time.
Bite!
