Chapter 13: The dove occupies the magpie's nest

Wang Hong, a bad man, has been following me, and he has to ask me to give him the gold ingot, not because I covet his gold ingot, but after I give it to him, or tonight, he will lose everything.

There are two weather in the Northeast that are fatal, one is the rain of the month, the other is the snow day, as the saying goes, the sky is cloudy and rainy to beat the children, a rainy day Northeast people have no activity, do not beat the wife and children is gambling money, this time the heavy snow is a good time to gamble money.

At night, Wang Hong is in my house, which is considered to be my house, this person is thick-skinned, no matter what you say, people just don't move the nest, and my mother has to take care of a meal.

When I came back before, Zhang Butcher gave a piece of pig to sit on the buttocks, which was the piece of meat on the buttocks, and my mother made a delicious meal, with a cake on it and a stew.

It is also called a pot out.

The pot is stewed and boiled, the vegetables are stewed at the bottom of the pot, and the cakes are attached to the side of the pot.

Inside, the pig sits on the buttocks, the oil beans, the potato cubes, and the cornmeal cakes are pasted around the iron pot.

This dish is called a rich, this year, not the New Year can not eat, I am also very greedy, the taste is the same, the beans are green, but not rotten, the potato pieces have been stewed without any edges and corners, melt in the mouth, and absorb the aroma of green vegetables The pork ribs taste good.

With a mouthful of two pots, the world is delicious, Wang Hong naturally needless to say, I eat with a bowl, he eats with a pot, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

After eating and drinking, Wang Hong slept at my house, he could sleep, lay straw in the firewood room, and sleep like a dead pig wrapped in a cotton jacket.

I watched the snow still fall overnight, so I went to the cellar, hung the stillborn baby from Zhang's butcher's house, hung it on the cover, supported it with a stick, and went back to sleep.

In the middle of the night I heard the cat bark, and I didn't pay attention to it, and then I heard a snapping sound from the cellar, and I knew that the thing was going down, and I was going to keep the black cat in it for a while, and then when it had eaten the stillbirth, I would starve it in the cellar for ten days and half a month, and I would be honest.

A cat is an animal with nine lives, even if it starves for a month, it will not necessarily die, but when the time comes, if you give it a bite to eat, it will definitely treat you as its own father.

After this incident, I left it alone, and I didn't hear it in the cellar screaming in the dark.

This winter is a bit evil, many people froze to death, there are three old people who have passed away, they asked me to hold a funeral, ordered a point, ate and drank well, and served well, and finally gave 500 yuan of hard money, but Wang Hong, a shameless fat man, followed me to eat and drink, and his hands and feet were not clean, and he took money from others.

Before the coffin is buried, a layer of money will be sprinkled on the coffin, called cushion back money, Wang Hong took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and the coffin was fished out, I didn't say much when I saw it, he dared to take this kind of money, let him take it, and sooner or later he would be retributed.

However, Wang Hong helped me a lot when he followed my ass, digging the grave and hanging the coffin was his, and sometimes he helped carry the corpse, although he was also cheeky and asked people to work hard, but the owner didn't want to do this kind of thing, and he was willing to spend some money.

Seeing that the New Year's Day is coming, Zhang Butcher's family came to my house on this day, Zhang Butcher is real, carrying half a pig on his shoulder, and carrying a big pig's head in his hand, Zhang Furong Niang and his mother also brought Daqu Baijiu to my house, to give me New Year's greetings, although I am young, but the seniority in the village is still high, so their family to give me New Year's greetings, I can also bear it.

My mother is very happy, is worried about no money to prepare New Year's goods, people sent to the door, warm greeting, three old ladies sit at the well, washing vegetables and marinating meat, I and the three old men in the hall to do.

It was one thing that the butcher came to greet me for the New Year, and the other thing surprised me, he wanted to say goodbye to her daughter, and it was normal for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the countryside to say goodbye, but this person who said goodbye made me quite unacceptable.

Because that's me.

Zhang Butcher wanted his daughter to follow me, for no reason, that is, I have to be responsible, the whole village knows that I have seen Zhang Furong's body, which proves that Zhang Furong has lost her body, if I don't marry, she won't be able to marry, and what's worse is that Zhang Furong gave birth to a ghost fetus is also spreading, who dares to marry her except me?

This kind of thing is a happy thing, I am not small, twenty-seven or eighteen, of course I have to be happy to say a daughter-in-law, but this daughter-in-law is Zhang Furong, which makes me not happy, not to mention that she gave birth to a ghost fetus, and said that my mother can't pass that level, my mother is not a bad heart, but she doesn't want me to marry a woman that no one wants, and she has no other requirements for my daughter-in-law.

Just be able to have children.

But after Zhang Furong experienced that kind of thing, can she be born is a say, I see that Zhang Butcher is eager, and he also gave me a bride price, which is a rare thing, marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside, and has not stopped pasting upside down, which family has a girl who does not take advantage of this time to make some bride price money, so Zhang Butcher pasted the bride price, so I can't refuse, that is Zhang Butcher's hometown, full of 10,000.

Wang Hong is thick-skinned, he has to be the son-in-law of the Zhang butcher, and he kneels in front of me, so he has to call the old man of the family, but Zhang Butcher is not uncommon This scoundrel, Zhang Butcher has to say a word from me for this matter.

I didn't have anything to say to him, Zhang Furong I looked good, but I couldn't help but listen to my mother's opinion, so I went to my mother, pulled her to the back room and told her about Zhang Butcher's marriage, I was quite embarrassed, after all, it was the first time.

My mother didn't want to listen to it at the time, he asked me to sit in the back room, don't go out, she went out to deal with it, I sat in the back room, heard my mother say something, I put my ear on the window, listen to it really, my mother said that Zhang Furong is a hundred good, but it's just as bad, saying that she may not be able to have children, my mother said that our old Hu family has three generations of single transmission, and it is not good to have a queen.

This sentence choked people back, I was in the back room, I heard Zhang's mother say to leave, I wanted to go out, but I looked through the window, my mother had already sent people away, I felt a little lost.

Turning back, my mother told me that I can't marry Zhang Furong if I marry anyone, otherwise it will be unfilial, my mother said that she will listen to me all her life, but this matter must be listened to her, and I have no choice but to agree.

In the morning, Zhang butcher came to give gifts, and in the afternoon came a big household, called Yan Wenli, and later I learned that it was a famous fishing ground in Chagan Lake, and there was half of him in one acre and three points of land in Dabai Lake, and more than ten years ago it was a well-known 10,000 yuan household in the village, and his arrival surprised me quite a lot, and I was even more surprised when I came with him.

I sat at home and made bean bao with my mother, as the saying goes, "When the wax moon arrives, steamed bean buns are steaming hot, and the fragrance is wafting." "It is the sticky bean bun in the Northeast, it looks like the Lantern Festival, the size is like an egg, the color is golden, there is viscosity, symbolizing the reunion of small days, so every family has to steam a few pots during the New Year.

There will be a rather imposing person into the house, this person is in a tunic suit, leather shoes are shiny, the general has a strong belly, a leather bag in his armpits, a big face and a big mouth, at a glance I know that he is a rich man, the so-called face is big, the mouth is big and eats all directions, I see that he is very particular, I haven't recognized it at first sight.

This person put down a three-foot carp in his hand and introduced himself, he is Yan Wenli from Jilinmu's hometown, he came to me to find a dragon's lair treasure for his father, and found many gentlemen, but they were not satisfied, and listened to the introduction of a Mr. Yin and Yang, so he came to see me.

I glanced at Mr. Yin and Yang, who was very thin, with a catfish beard, small and bright eyes, but he looked treacherous, not tall, wearing a wide robe, and his other hand was always behind his back, and if you looked closely, you would see that his invisible hand had six fingers.

I said to Mr. Yin and Yang, "Thank you, I didn't expect you to remember me?" Thanks to the mercy of my ancestors, otherwise my Hu family would have been cut off. ”

This onmyoji is called Yan Liu, known as Ghost Hand Six, because he ranks sixth, has six fingers, often deals with ghosts, and has a Yan character, so he is called Ghost Hand, fifty or sixty years old, long treacherous, his father is the famous Yin and Yang everyone Xiao Yama, and he is also quite a legendary person, in Qianshan Hu Banxian first, he Xiao Yama is the second, Hu Banxian points life, he points people to death, he makes people die three watches, that person will not live five watches.

This little king of Yama has a lot of dealings with the dead and the yin, so the yin qi is extremely heavy, he married six wives and gave birth to six sons, but none of them can be full moon, this Yan Liu is still kept by my grandfather Hu Banxian, so he is today, but I didn't expect this Yan Liu to be inferior to his father, and his heart is bad, so I don't have a good impression of him.

Yan Liu is very sleek, I don't look like he is angry, I found a stool for Yan Wenli, the two of them sat down, this face is not worse than Wang Hong, Yan Liu crossed Erlang's legs and said to me: "The predecessors, I am not good at judging as a descendant, and the blessings and misfortunes are also made by the predecessors, I just take care of the immediate things and do my best, Brother Yan's ancestors just went, I want to find a treasure to bury, you and I also have some friendship, so I specially recommend Brother Yan to ask you for some advice, you don't thank me, the right is the friendship of the world."

I learned Yan Liu's face, and I didn't care about him, the things of the predecessors, the future generations should keep it in mind, I looked at the carp on the ground, and I also saw Yan Wenli's sincerity, this kind of three-foot carp is hard to find, so I said: "What treasure do you want to find to bury Ling Zun?"

Yan Wenli didn't speak, and pushed Yan Liu, I saw it and knew that the two of them must have discussed it before I came, and I was a little unhappy in my heart, in this line of feng shui, I am afraid that someone will point fingers, especially my peers.

Yan Liu lit a bag of dry tobacco, took a few puffs, did enough work, and said to me later, "I heard that you have found the Five Spirit Fat Luminous Sand?" must have encountered a treasure of feng shui, can you take Brother Yan to take a look. ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart was on fire, I don't know how he knew that I had found the five spirit grease and luminous sand, and he didn't ask, he actually wanted to see other people's graves, so I said, "That piece of land has long been known as the owner."

Yan Liu didn't care, but said four words to me lightly: "The dove occupies the magpie's nest."
