Chapter 227: Lao Sao
Shui Bo opened the kettle and took a sip first, and then said: "My old friend called Lao Sao, whose original name was Ma Tianliang, is a carpenter master in the countryside near Dingzhou, but he is different from ordinary people, this person was born unlucky, when he was a child, he could choke and roll his eyes when he drank milk, and when he was older, he walked and planted his head, and he could break his bones. However, this boy finally learned carpentry, but unfortunately, because he was unlucky and clumsy, he the old master. ”
Tang Li snorted and laughed: "This is simply a strange thing." ”
Shui Bo said: "It's really wonderful, but he later found a master to calculate his life for him, guess what, this person was born with weak yang fire, a little back, and his profession is not good for him, so he changed jobs." ”
Tang Li was surprised: "Shui Bo, I don't read much, don't lie to me, what does career have to do with life?" ”
Shui Bo took another sip of water: "Of course it matters, although I don't understand the way of your strangers, but I haven't eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run, his profession is carpenter, the ancestor of the carpenter is Lu Ban, and Lu Ban is the ancestor of Mr. Feng Shui, so you understand?" ”
Tang Li shook his head: "It's even more confused." ”
Yuan Chu answered: "The carpenters and masons of the older generation are actually not separated, whether it is a Yin house or a Yang house, there is a set of rules of the ancestors, and there are many doorways inside. ”
"What danger can carpenters and masons have?" Tang Li smiled.
Shui Bo said: "There are few people who fell from the roof and were killed by the wall?" It's all fate. It is not the life of a carpenter, but it is not the life of a carpenter, that is, death. And my old friend is such a man, but he is only a disaster, but not a fatal one. Later, he listened to the advice of the master, stopped being a carpenter, and followed a man to run antiques, and after coming and going, he entered the trade. ”
At this time, Jiujiu suddenly said: "Uncle Shui, the matter of your old friend is not something that can be explained clearly in a sentence and a half, and two of them are particularly bizarre, right, Uncle Shui?" ”
Is it strange because of the soft nature of life, and when you encounter something evil?
Shui Bo sighed and said: "This little girl is really clever, you are right, my old friend is good-eyed, otherwise, those two things can kill him." ”
Shui Bo's sentence seduced Tang Li's interest and urged: "Then hurry up and talk about it, listening to the story can also relieve your boredom." ”
Shui Bo said: "Then let's start with the ghost threshold." At that time, my old friend was only in his early twenties, just worshiped the master, and followed the master to do work outside every day, this kid was not angry in his eyes, he couldn't see the work, and was always scolded by the master, but he was honest, and he didn't go to his heart for scolding, and he was happy every day, and once he went to the next village to do work, and after finishing the work in the other people's meals, he drank a little wine, and only went back at about eleven o'clock, and so on, passing by a cemetery, and suddenly a voice said in his ear, hey, young man, the threshold of my house is high, you repair it for me. ”
Shui Bo smiled weirdly: "But as soon as he squatted down, these three people said one sentence at the same time: Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
Shui Bo's tone and smile frightened Tang Li and Su He, and Tang Li said: "Could it be that those three people know that Lao Sao, otherwise why do you say that you have been waiting for him for a long time."
Shui Bo continued: "At that time, Lao Sao was also stunned, thinking that he had met an acquaintance, but his body was cold, and the cold air was coming out of the cracks in his bones, and he didn't think about anything else, he looked up at the three people. But the three of them buried their heads in the crotch of their pants, and they couldn't see their faces alive or dead, so Lao Sao asked, are the three from the village? It's such a cold day, why don't you go home? But no matter what he asked, no one paid attention to him, and my old friend's body became colder and colder, and after a while his body was numb and his brain began to be unconscious. Lao Sao was a little panicked, he didn't feel right, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he stretched out his hand and pushed away the three people in front of him. ”
Tang Li urged: "What happened later? ”
Shui Bo said quietly: "It doesn't matter if you push it like this, the three of them disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared, and there was paper money everywhere on the ground." Only then did Lao Sao know that he had met a ghost, and ran home with a smoke, and since then he has been seriously ill for three days, and he no longer dares to walk at night. Later, an old man told him that the three were frozen ghosts, specially luring passers-by, but fortunately my old friend slipped away in time, otherwise, he would have lost his life. ”
"It seems that Lao Sao is also a person who has experienced ups and downs. It's really not easy to live until now. Tang Li sighed.
Shui Bo said: "There is a way that evil ghosts do not accept good people, my old friend has a good heart, and he doesn't care if he encounters a catastrophe." Therefore, we all have to do good deeds, be good people, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. ”
Tang Li nodded, but when he turned his head, he found that Jiujiu was leaning on the seat at this time, tilting his head and falling asleep, Tang Li was afraid that she would suffer from the cold, so he quickly asked Su He to carry her into the house to sleep.
Unconsciously out of the first month, Shui Bo gave Lao Sao's address, saying that if there is no place to stay, you can temporarily live in Lao Sao's house, and then make plans, after all, the sea of people is vast, and it is not possible to find someone in a day or two, and then Shui Bo made a phone call to Lao Sao, and the arrangement was proper, and the four of them really said goodbye to Shui Bo.
-
The four of them drove all the way north for three days on the road, and finally found the antique shop opened by Lao Sao. But the door was closed, and as soon as they heard the knock on the door and extinguished the lights in the house, Tang Li and Su He looked at each other, and it was not until Yuan Chu said that Shui Bo called them to come, and the lights in the house were turned on. After a while, a plainly dressed middle-aged man welcomed the four into the house, and kept greeting: "I'm really sorry for the four, something happened to me here recently, someone came over and made trouble again and again, I don't go out to buy something, for fear that something will happen, I told my daughter-in-law, no matter who knocks on the door for a while, don't open it, turn off the light and sleep." It's also a coincidence that you're here, just in time for this juncture. ”
This is said to be a foggy cover, how can someone still make trouble and collect protection money when he opens an antique shop?
At this time, Jiujiu said: "Uncle Sao, who dares to spread wild in your territory? ”
Lao Sao sighed: "The child has no mother, it's a long story, let's talk in the cold weather." ”
Saying that, a middle-aged woman with a tired face walked out, but she was obviously startled when she saw so many people outside.
Lao Sao said: "Wife, don't be nervous, it's a few young people mentioned on the phone by Shui Bo." ”
Lao Sao's wife slapped her thigh: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I thought it was those people who scared me in the bed." ”
Lao Sao said: "Okay, okay, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
Lao Sao's antique shop is decorated with antique and antique decoration, the living room, the counter, and the counter has shelves in it, which are full of antiques, all kinds, although Tang Li can't say the name, but it feels very valuable.
Yuan Chu looked at Tang Li's stupid appearance and said, "Don't look at it, you don't understand this!" ”
Lao Sao welcomed the four of them into the living room, Lao Sao's wife brought a few cups of tea, Yuan Chu saw Lao Sao's expression flickering, and said, "You have encountered some trouble." ”
Lao Sao suddenly stood up, bowed ninety degrees and said, "I heard my old fellow say, you are all masters, please help me!" ”
Tang Li's head was full of black lines, and he secretly said in his heart: "Didn't Shui Bo say that let's find a place to settle here in Lao Sao first, I didn't expect that something would happen to Lao Sao as soon as we came!" ”
