Speaking of Lihua Village, since Zhang San'er left, the monster has also disappeared, and the Liu family is inevitably uneasy and cranky, Zhang San'er has never left her like this for so long, so she doesn't feel safe when she sleeps at night, although the Zhang family's fields are now beginning to harvest, and life is slowly getting better. However, Liu has always had deep worries in his heart. The monster is like a monster hidden in the darkness with its mouth wide open, and its own family does not know when it will fall into its mouth.

July 15 arrived, counting the days, San'er's father Zhang Boss had been gone for 12 years, but it was a pity that he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, so Liu could only repair a tomb for him and bury him next to Zhang San'er's grandparents.

The morning was a little hot, Liu took paper money and offerings, got up early in the morning, walked in the countryside in the morning with a basket on his arm, and waited in front of the ancestral grave of the Zhang family, and respectfully offered incense to the ancestors of the old Zhang family. finally sat in front of Boss Zhang's grave, wiping his tears and nagging.

"San's father, there have been a lot of things at home recently, and I haven't been able to come to see you, will you blame me? His father, poor our family's situation is passable, saving it has caused a lot of trouble, you must take care of our son and daughter-in-law no matter how good you are, and bless our old Zhang family's house safely. ”

After a pause, Liu Shi lifted the wine jar, poured two glasses of liquor, raised a glass and swept it on the ground, and raised his head to drink a glass of tears and said: "Santa's father, you used to like to drink two sips the most, but unfortunately our family is poor, and we haven't let you drink happily, I brought a lot today, give you enough to drink...... If you want anything in the future, just dream and tell me, for so many years, I haven't seen you in my dreams......" Liu Shi said this, tears flowed, and he couldn't say it anymore.

The grievances in my heart were all said, and Liu finally stopped crying and said: "His father, our third son has grown up, and I have also married her a daughter-in-law, you saw it on the day my son got married, are you satisfied with the marriage I handled?" The new daughter-in-law came to kowtow to you and called your father, what a good girl, or a child of a big family, she knows books and understands etiquette, and it is the blessing of our Zhang family to have our third son, his father, do you say yes? ”

"Our daughter-in-law is a capable person, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have the ability to start this family business. Hehe, our family is really a great ancestor who has accumulated great virtue, and our old Zhang family has finally turned over and is no longer poor. It's up to you to bless us again. ”

As he spoke, Liu suddenly remembered the goblin in the backyard, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "His father, do you know that our family has recruited monsters?" On the day of his son's wedding, he actually fell into the body of his daughter-in-law, and none of the people who were contaminated with such things had a good end, his father, I was afraid that the good days of our family had just begun, and they were leaving, I was worried about the third son, worried about the third daughter-in-law. The goddess in the village also has a way to deal with that goblin, his father, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless our son, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect my son......" No one said Liu's grievances, and this time he felt even more sad when he said it, and he couldn't cry anymore.

The sky gradually brightened, the villagers of Lihua Village began to work in the field, Liu picked up the cups and bowls and put them in the basket, and took a deep look, Boss Zhang's grave without a tombstone, "His father, our three sons will soon give birth to a grandson for you, when the time comes, I can set up a tombstone for you, and write the names of our sons and grandsons carefully, our old Zhang family has successors, and you can close your eyes under Jiuquan." (According to the rules of the north, if the old man dies, if he does not have a grandchild, he cannot erect a tombstone, and if there is no tombstone, it means that the family is dead, which is a great shame at the beginning.) ）

Liu came to kowtow in front of the grave of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw all the ancestral graves of the Zhang family, and streams of green smoke rose together, rising in the air and gathering together, getting thicker and thicker, and not dispersing for a long time. You can see it from afar. Liu Shi looked at it dumbfounded, thinking in his heart: "This is?" This is? Could this be the smoke rising from the ancestral grave? She wasn't sure, but the villagers who were working in the fields soon noticed something strange and ran over together.

"Come and see, the ancestral grave of the Zhang family is smoking."

The Liu family had only heard of the saying that the ancestral tomb was emitting green smoke, and he had never seen it, but on the ancestral grave of his family in front of him, a puff of green smoke floated out of each one and did not disperse, and more than a dozen graves condensed into one.

Where have everyone seen this wonder, and they sighed together: "The Zhang family can make a fortune so quickly, it seems that the great virtues of the ancestors have accumulated on this generation." "Say hello to the Liu family together. The haze in Liu's heart was also dispelled by the green smoke of the ancestral tomb, and he kowtowed to each ancestral tomb one by one.

The Liu family, who returned home, thought to himself: "The ancestral graves of the old Zhang family are all smoking, I don't know if it is the meaning of good luck in the legend." Wanting to know the answer, I couldn't wait any longer, so I walked to the Jade Emperor Temple to find a monk.

There is a Jade Emperor Temple near Lihua Village, it is said to be the remains of the Song Dynasty, dilapidated, it is enshrined in Haotian Jinque Supreme Jade Emperor, the years are deep, this temple has already decayed, the statue of the Jade Emperor worshipped is mottled with a golden body, and the incense is almost cut off. There are only three monks in the temple, two are old and decayed, how many years have not walked out of the temple gate, eighteen years ago when the Liu family was married, the two old monks of Guanshan and Guanshui are now looking like they are going to die, for decades, the Liu family is old, they are still mediocre and old, there is no change. Motionless sitting. There is only one monk in his fifties, who is taking care of the meager temple property.

Familiar with the way, Liu himself walked to the meditation room of the monk of Guanshan, the monk of Guanshan meditated cross-legged, although Liu was anxious but knew the rules of the old monk, and did not dare to disturb, just knelt on the pier reverently, chanting in a low voice. I didn't hear the old monk's voice for more than an hour. Although she kept chanting the scriptures, she couldn't help but wonder if this old monk was still alive.

The old monk seemed to have just come back to his senses at this moment, and smiled slightly: "Old man, you are here again." ”

"Master Guanshan"...... Liu was about to speak, but the old monk smiled indifferently and said, "I already know your intentions, don't ask, I'll send you a word: children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you can go by yourself." ”

Liu didn't understand the meaning of this, knelt on the ground and was unwilling to leave, the old monk sighed, and said: "Poor, pity the world's parents, you can get up and rest assured, from now on the Zhang family will have eighty years of wealth, and you will receive the blessings of your ancestors." ”

After getting the old monk's exact answer, Liu only felt extremely relaxed, and generously donated twenty taels of silver to the temple. The way back was much lighter.

The family of goodness, there must be Yu Qing, the Zhang family does not know which ancestors have accumulated great virtue and fallen on the heads of their own generation, the old monk never talks nonsense, he said that there must be no mistake.

Why do you believe in this old monk so much, this has to start from Liu's maiden family, Liu's father once said. He didn't know the age of the two old monks, but when he was young, the two monks looked like this. Both were wise men with great wisdom. If they wanted to be rich, they would have been sent to the door by the nobles, but the two old monks would rather let the temple decay. also refused to take a step out of the broken temple.

The Liu family on the road suddenly thought that since the Zhang family was destined to be rich, that is, the life of his son and daughter-in-law was fine, should he send a letter to San'er to ask him to come back earlier.
