Chapter 378: Clever Mouthmaker
Thirty-five miles to the south, the father and son came to a small county town. According to the information provided by Yin Si, the old female ghost lived in this small county town before her death, and she was a matchmaker, known as "Qiaozui Woman", who had been dead for nearly 50 years, and had been a matchmaker for countless people with a clever mouth during her lifetime.
Gao Zu and Tai Ye combined, the old female ghost has not died for too long, ask some old people in the city, and maybe you can ask for some information.
So, the father and son walked around the county, and when they saw the old man, they went over to inquire. Not to mention, I asked a few old people, and they all knew about "Qiaozui Po", and there were two old people among them, who were still matchmakers for Qiaozui Po.
A few old people said that Qiaozui Po had no son, gave birth to five daughters, and the five daughters had already married, and now in the county, there is no Qiaozui Po's home, as for her daughters, they are not young anymore, I don't know where they married, according to age, it is not easy to say whether they are still alive.
However, Qiaozui's grave is still there, Qiaozui's mother-in-law's family is considered a big family in the city, and Qiaozui's male brothers are several, and after Qiaozui's death she entered their ancestral grave. The tomb is in the east of the city, and there is a big willow tree growing in the cemetery, and Qiaozuipo's grave is under the willow tree.
Hearing about the above, the father and son came to a cemetery in the east of the city according to the location mentioned by the old people. It was an overgrown mess, and there was indeed an old willow tree in the graveyard that was crooked and had lost its leaves.
The father and son walked into the cemetery and came to the old willow tree, and saw a raised barren grass pile faintly visible next to the willow tree, which was the joint burial grave of Qiaozui Po and his man.
Gao Zu shook his head after seeing this, "This cemetery has long been deserted, and no one has come to visit the grave for at least twenty years. ”
The grandfather asked, "Is it possible that their whole family is dead?" ”
Gao Zu said: "I think their descendants have built a new grave and thrown this ancestral grave down." ”
The master asked: "Without the grave of the descendants sacrificed, can the soul of Qiaozui still be recalled?" ”
Gao Zu glanced at the master, did not answer his question, rummaged through the items he brought, and after looking for a while, Gao Zu seemed to remember something, and instructed the master, "You wait at the donkey cart, you are not allowed to come without my orders." ”
The grandfather was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Dad, can't you let me see what you do?" ”
Gao Zu didn't say anything, still rummaging for items, and the grandfather said: "Don't you want me to pass on the craft, you don't even let me see it, how can I pass it on in the future?" ”
As soon as the master said this, Gao Zu said: "It's not that you won't see it, it's that it's not time yet, and now you pass on this, you will only use it to cause trouble!" ”
The grandfather was not convinced, but he could not disobey his father, so he turned around and left the cemetery very unhappily.
The grandfather didn't know what Gao Zu did in the cemetery, half an hour later, Gao Zu came out of the cemetery, and Gao Zu said to the grandfather: "The ghost of Qiaozui Po is in the county seat, hurry back, I'm afraid I'll run away for her if it's late." ”
The grandfather didn't say a word, caught up with the donkey cart and took my ancestor to the county seat. However, Gaozu didn't seem to know the specific location of Qiaozuipo's ghost, so he asked the grandfather to drive the donkey cart, but he could go around the county.
After coming and going, the time came to noon. When passing by a restaurant, the grandfather looked up at the sky and said to Gao Zu: "Dad, I don't think it's too early, let's eat some food in this restaurant first." ”
Gao Zu was obviously not in the mood to eat, "Keep looking, and eat again when you find it." ”
The master said: "It's not a way to find it like this, go to the restaurant and sit down, maybe you can hear some letters." ”
As soon as the grandfather's words fell, there were three or five men and women, surrounded by an old woman, and walked into the restaurant.
Gao Zu and Taiye glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke, and Taiye immediately tied the donkey cart in front of the restaurant, and the father and son walked into the restaurant quickly.
Inside the restaurant was a hall, with seven or eight tables, and at this time, there were already five guests, plus those who had just entered, a total of six tables, and Tai Ye and Gao Zu sat down at the table next to those people.
The shopkeeper was busy, and after finishing the guests at the table, he came to the table of Gaozu and Taiye, and the grandfather ordered two dishes casually and sent Xiaoer away.
The attention of the father and son at this time was all on the people at the table just now, especially the old woman who was surrounded by people.
Gao Zu asked the master in a low voice, "Do you have any problems looking at the old woman?" ”
The grandfather replied: "It's like being possessed, the forehead is dim, and the flesh is not attached to the bones." ”
Gao Zu nodded, at this time, Xiao Er gave the table food, and went to the altar, the old woman didn't wait for others to pour him wine, she took the jar first, slowly poured a glass for herself, took it and poured it down, and said with a smile: "Good wine, I haven't drunk it for decades." ”
Seeing this, a middle-aged man about forty years old next to him hurriedly filled the old woman and asked, "Are you really a clever woman?" ”
When Gao Zu and the grandfather heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and the old woman glanced at the middle-aged man, raised her hand and pointed at herself, and said, "Is this mother-in-law still telling you about the matchmaker?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head, and the old woman said, "Then you wait, wait until I am full of food and drink, and I will save this matchmaking for you at a moment's notice." ”
The middle-aged man, including a few people next to him, was overjoyed when he heard this, and the old woman poured another glass of wine and asked, "Do you have the woman's birthday?" ”
Several people were all a little dumbfounded when they heard this, and the old woman smiled: "It's okay if you don't have it, there should always be a name, right?" ”
"Yes, yes......" The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.
At this time, Gao Zu stood up from the table and walked to the old woman in a few steps, the old woman glanced at Gao Zu, stirred up, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”
Gao Zu didn't answer and asked, "Dare to ask if you are a Qiaozui woman?" ”
The old woman looked Gao Zu up and down a few times, and said coldly: "If you know each other, stay away, I don't know you, mother-in-law." ”
At this time, the grandfather also stood up from the table and walked over, and the grandfather smiled: "You don't know my father, but my father knows you!" ”
When the old woman heard this, she glanced at the grandfather, and she was excited again, "You, you two, what do you want to do?" ”
As soon as the old woman said this, the middle-aged man next to her and several other people also stood up from the table, and the middle-aged man said coldly: "Sit back at your own table, don't come to hinder us." ”
Gao Zu hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "Qiaozui has been dead for nearly fifty years, and what you are meeting now is her ghost. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face did not change and said: "Qiaozui is not a ghost, she is a ghost who appeared to help my son say daughter-in-law!" ”
Gao Zu said: "Ghosts and people are matchmakers, they can only be yin relatives, if you don't want your children to have trouble, you better leave quickly." ”
"I think it's you who should leave, don't be nosy!" The middle-aged man said coldly.
Judging from the middle-aged man and the clothes of the people next to him, the middle-aged man's family should be quite wealthy.
The grandfather said to my ancestor next to me: "Dad, let's stop talking nonsense with them, take this old woman and leave here." ”
Gao Zu nodded slightly, took out the soul collection bottle from his words, and when the old woman saw this, she quickly stood up from the chair, looked at Gao Zu, and then at the master, and asked sharply: "You two, who are you?" ”
Gao Zu said: "Who am I, can you still not see it, my father and son are specially ordered by the Hades King of the Yin Division to capture you and other escaped ghosts." ”
When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "If you want me to tell me about the marriage of my eldest nephew, you can help me drive them away!" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked Gao Zu and Taiye up and down a few times, and said, "Did you hear that, get out of the restaurant, otherwise, you will have to suffer." ”
"Really?" The master put his body in front of Gao Zu and said with a smile: "Then let me see how capable you are." ”
As soon as the master's voice fell, Gao Zu hurriedly grabbed him, "Hugh wants to cause trouble again!" Gao Zu said to the middle-aged man: "This Qiaozui woman was locked up in the Yin Si Prison before, and all those who were imprisoned in the Yin Si Prison were because they did wrong things in their lives, this kind of person, you should not touch it." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he disdained it and threatened: "If you don't leave, if you don't leave, we will not be polite." As he spoke, the middle-aged man picked up the bench under his buttocks, and several other people also picked up the bench when they saw this. Seeing this, the master wanted to get rid of Gao Zu, but Gao Zu was pulling him to death, so the master had to endure it for the time being.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over and acted as a peacemaker for both parties, and Gaozu pulled the grandfather and sat back on his table.
The old woman was obviously angry and afraid of Gao Zu and the grandfather, and said to the middleman: "Go, change the family, don't eat here." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he obeyed the old woman's words, and hurriedly asked Xiao Er to settle the bill, and several people hugged the old woman and left.
At this time, Gao Zu and Taiye's dishes have not yet come up, Gao Zu wants Xiao Er to return the dishes and leave, but Tai Ye signaled Gao Zu not to retreat, Tai Ye means, follow them out like this, they will definitely be discovered, it is better to let my Gao Zu wait here, he will go out to see by himself, if there is a chance, directly take the soul of Qiaozui Po.
Gao Zu shook his head and disagreed, if he let the master go alone, he would definitely cause trouble again, what if he injured people again.
The father and son argued, and the shopkeeper brought up two dishes, Gaozu looked at it, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and when the grandfather saw this, he didn't say anything, and picked up the chopsticks and ate.
Afterwards, each of them ate another bowl of noodles and left the tavern together.
When he came outside, the master caught up with the donkey cart and found the taverns and restaurants in the city one by one.
Looking around, I found a very inconspicuous tavern in front of the door, and through the tavern window, I saw the old woman pushing glasses with a few middle-aged people.
It seems that Qiaozui liked to drink before her death, and Gao Zu and Taiye didn't rush in, so they hid outside the window and listened.
I heard the middle-aged man ask the old woman, "I don't know what the old fairy girl has to do to ask the girl of that family to marry my son?" ”
The old woman smiled, as if she had drunk too much, and said with a hard tongue: "Qiaozui I was a matchmaker during my lifetime, and I never succeeded, I, I have a set of harmony techniques here......"
