A hard mouth does not mean that the heart is real, Chen Mazi is really a little nervous.

For the belief in gods and Buddhas, in fact, he is not less pious than Meng Luohan, otherwise he would not often go to the temple to burn incense and pray, and even curse Fan Da, who "killed" his son, to be punished by heaven early. But just as the vast majority of so-called believers in the world actually do not have the compassion for kindness, the reason why they believe in gods and Buddhas is entirely for their own interests, some seek peace and longevity, some seek wealth and glory, and some beg others to die like Chen Mazi.

In fact, they still believe in utilitarianism, not in karma, and in reincarnation.

Just like at this time, Chen Mazi will still convince himself - I spent so much incense money, no matter whether the family surnamed Fan was killed by Song Guogong or not, but if they die, they are dead, and if they die from man-made disasters, they will also die from heaven, this is the gods and Buddhas who were moved by my sincerity and condemned to him, then our Chen family's misfortune is completely eliminated, what am I afraid of?

He didn't think about whether this logic was reasonable or contradictory, he didn't dare to think about it.

Of course, this also shows that he actually knows his own sin.

So no matter how self-deception you are, if you can't sleep, you can't sleep, if you are not steady, if you are not steady, all the lust and inwardness will explode in the dead of night.

Chen Mazi finally decided to borrow wine to strengthen his courage.

But before he got drunk and fell asleep, he heard a rustling sound, and at first he didn't pay much attention to it - living in the Chai Hu Shop, which house didn't have a few rats to live with, he thought it was something from the rat hole in the corner of the wall that came out to steal lamp oil. Then he heard a few screams, which sounded particularly terrible in the middle of the night, and even his wife was awakened at this moment, and while wearing clothes and skirts, he shouted: "Killing a thousand knives, which one killed a thousand knives touched the backyard and stole chickens!" ”

Chen Mazi came to his senses and screamed a few times, as if they were from the chickens he kept in the backyard.

As soon as the door was opened, the husband and wife realized that the sound of rustling turned out to be very loud, and it seemed to come from all directions.

Chen Mazi is a blacksmith, in this area of the family is quite passable, the courtyard wall is built to be one and a half high, across the yard in front of the blacksmith shop, the husband and wife live in the south-facing main house, the eldest son and a family of three live in the east wing, the second son does not have a family and lives in the east ear room, the daughter lives in the west wing, in addition to raising chickens in the backyard, there is a row of back cover rooms that are rented to two families to live.

Usually, as soon as he closes the door of the blacksmith shop, no one sneaks into the inner courtyard, and the two families in the back cover room enter and exit through the North Point Gate.

His own situation is familiar to him, so Chen Mazi felt creepy when he listened to the sound of squirting in all directions.

Although the commoners also lived in a courtyard with two entrances, they did not build a verandah, and they would not light the lights in the courtyard at night, and it happened that at this time a cloud covered the moonlight, and a cloud of black paint could not tell what caused the noise, and the woman was bold, and went into the house and lit a paper lantern to illuminate it, and first saw seven or eight gray squirrels on the ground in front of her heels.

Just at this time, the clouds moved away and the moonlight was clear, and now I finally saw groups of gray squirrels rushing in from the one-and-a-half-high courtyard wall one after another, and jumping directly to the beams of the main house!

The people who live in this area are not so squeamish, and they are usually used to seeing rat cockroaches and creepers, so they will not be frightened by these things, but they have never seen swarms of rats swarming in, not to mention that the woman screamed in fright when she lost the lantern, and even Chen Mazi felt that the cold hairs on her body stood upside down, and her head was full of cold sweat.

The lantern fell to the ground, the lampshade was on fire, but the firelight had no deterrent effect on the swarm of rats, Chen Mazi even saw a thin and small black rat crawling over, looking up at him, he somehow thought of a time when he insulted Fan Da, Fan Da looked at the gloomy and cold gaze silently, at that time he was instantly enraged, and Fan Da was rewarded with punches and kicks.

But now he was lost because of this memory, and his legs were weakened, and he fell to the ground and screamed miserably.

At this moment, all the people were alarmed, sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, and grandchildren, so the screams became louder and louder, and finally even the tenants of the back cover room came over to check, and one person stammered, pulling Chen Mazi up and trembling, and even said the sentence incompletely: "This, this, this, this, yes, how, how...... You, you, you, backyard raising, raising, raising, raising......"

The stammering woman couldn't help but interject: "The chickens in the chicken shed are all dead, and their necks seem to have been bitten off raw, are they bitten off by these mice?" How can there be so many fierce rats? ”

Another tenant was like an initiation: "It's Fan Da's ghost, it must be Fan Da's ghost, this is amazing, will our big guys be affected by you Blacksmith Chen?" ”

No one responded to him, Chen Mazi's voice was hoarse, and his wife even fainted with fright.

The movement of the Chen family also woke up the neighbors, and the night watchmen also came with wind lanterns, they first knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door and let them in, only the crying sound continued to come from the courtyard of the Chen family, the big guy didn't know what was going on inside, but suddenly another person exclaimed.

The man pointed to the ground where the Nightwatchman stood.

The ground was clean, but at some point the handwriting appeared, and the Nightwatchman jumped back to look at the handwritingβ€”

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant!

The sky was still bright, and Meng Luohan was about to go out of the stall, when the courtyard door was slapped like thunder, so angry that his chest seemed to be lit with a fire, and when he opened the door, he scolded with an open voice: "Which one who kills a thousand knives is in a hurry to be reincarnated in the morning!" ”

Only then did he scold a sentence

was knocked down by the person who knocked on the door, and Meng Luohan opened his eyes wide to see a pockmarked face: "Brother Mazi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Go, go, go, hurry up and ask Mo Wendao to do a transcendent Dharma for Fan Da's family......"

When the sky was bright, the entire Chai Hu shop was shaken by the "ghost apparition" incident in the night of Chen Mazi's house, some whispered and some talked loudly, but the panicked were not limited to the Chen and Meng families, especially the neighbors who lived in Lane 13, all of them had not bullied and scolded Fan Da's family, such as the shrew who lived in Fan Da's right neighbor, knowing that Fan's wife could hear and speak, and often pulled her throat to insult people a lot, what to say dirty, not to scold people and cry and swear to be unwilling, once because she scolded too hard and made her voice dumb, The man in her family also went to beat Fan Da and forced Fan Da to ask her mother-in-law to buy medicine to treat her throat.

said that Fan Da came to invite them to Yanzhao Mansion to eat and drink before he died, but he was also driven out by the man.

At night, Fan's house caught fire, but there was a firewall across the right neighbor, although the wind direction was towards this side, and the right neighbor was not affected by the fire at all, but when he learned that Fan's family of four was burned to death, the shrew still jumped and scolded outside her door.

But at this time, the shrew couldn't shake up, and she was so frightened that she cried: "Although the reason why we dislike the Fan family is because Chen Mazi picked the head and said that their family was ominously implicated in the neighbors, who dares to guarantee that Fan Da's dead soul will not let us go for this reason?" Pity my family, who are already living a miserable life, and it is very difficult to get enough food and clothing, and I can't give up this old house to find another place to live, and I don't have the money to ask Mo Dao to do things, is it really the only way to wait for death? ”

A neighbor hated: "When the eldest daughter of the Fan family had an accident, you were the most fierce person, when you saw the girl, you stepped forward to beat and scold, tore the girl's clothes and spit on the phlegm, if you hadn't forced it ruthlessly, maybe Fan Da would not have strangled his eldest daughter to death, and you deserved to be entangled by the ghost." ”

The shrew spat in the direction of the man: "It seems that you are all kind-hearted people, and you are not forced to sink Fan Da's daughter into the pond, and now you still want to push all the sins and faults on the old lady, do you think that my family is unlucky, and Fan Da will be able to let you go?" ”

There are also people and mud: "Don't scold each other, the plan now is to discuss how to surpass Fan Dayin's soul, and ask him to forgive us, why don't we all make up some money, and go with Chen Mazi to ask Mo Wendao to do things, and sincerely repent of his sins, so that his heart can be stable." ”

This proposal was approved by the vast majority of people, but no one knew where Mo asked the chief, and after a total, he thought of going to Yangliupu to find Tang Tongzuo first, so a group of people led by Chen Mazi went to Yangliupu first, begging Tang Qizuo to lead them to visit the "Immortal Dao", Tang Qizuo did not pretentious, and agreed.

Who knew that Mo Wendao was not at home today, and I heard that he went to the Taishi Mansion to visit Zhuang Yuanlang.

As a result, a huge group of people knelt down in front of the gate of Taishifu Street, and begged Zhuang Yuanlang and Mo Wenchang to save their lives with tears in their eyes.

Last night, Chai Sheng and Mo Wen tossed until the middle of the night in order to scare Chen Mazi's family, because the curfew could not rush home, they made arrangements in advance to be in Chai Hu Shop, and let Song Shoucheng come forward to rent the empty yard for ten days, in fact, it was convenient to settle there after tossing last night, and only returned home in disguise early in the morning, restored their appearance, and rushed to visit Lan Ting according to the instructions of Chun Gui, as soon as they appeared, Chun Hui knew that it was done, and sure enough, he waited until the people of Chai Hu Pu came to Taishi's Mansion to kneel and beg.

At this time, Chun Guizheng accompanied Lan Ting to entertain guests, and after listening to Tang Hui's report, he said: "Speaking of which, these people really should be taught a lesson, and at this time they know that they have repented, and when their sons bullied the Fan family, they can all be justified, and if I want me to say, Xiaodao should not agree to them to do things, so that they will continue to be afraid." ”

This is the opposite words, and Lan Ting naturally understands it.

"In the past 50 or 60 years, the court has been rampant with dirty smoke and miasma, affecting the original simple and kind folk customs in the market and township, and the old squires themselves have used utilitarianism for personal gain, how can they still take care of educating the people. It is indeed hateful to bully the weak and abuse others, but if you can repent of it...... Even if it is still for personal gain, as long as these people are still in awe and dare not bully and insult others in the future, the meaning of deterrence is greater than punishment. ”

Chun Gui said: "Their fault lies in morality, and they have not broken the law, and they can't really watch these people die from the ghosts asking for their lives, Xiaodao will do well, promise them to surpass the undead, but Xiaodao should not forget the teachings of the respected teacher, and only think about making money and not doing good." ”

Mo Wen was very painful, but he also knew that this windfall was all due to the proper planning of the eldest grandmother of the court, so he had to endure the pain and pretend to be indifferent: "Who does the eldest grandmother think of the Taoist master, except for the expenses of the law, the remaining silver money Daoye does not leave anything, and it is okay to donate it to the health hall?" ”

The health hall is an institution opened by the imperial court to raise abandoned babies and orphans, but the household department will not allocate more silver and two subsidies, and needs to rely on donations from rich and noble families to maintain, Fan Da's wife is raised by the health hall, so Mo Wen will propose this way of doing good.

Chungui said he was very satisfied.
