Chapter 10: Spells for Spells
"Uncle, don't blame me for being vulgar, my big is so capable, so... Where did all that money go? The big cow grew his mouth and said aggrievedly, "Why do you want me to be in trouble!" ”
"Where's the money? Where does the money go? ”
"Money money, money, money, money, money, life is almost gone, and money, what kind of person is this?" I don't fork the road.
Da Niu suddenly became furious, hugged his head and cried, "What do you know? You're not from here, what do you know? ”
"Brother..."
"I know you suspect that I am plotting against Ah Da, but I really didn't do it." Da Niu squatted on the ground and sobbed, "I also know what you want to marry." ”
Erniu's face was white, "Don't say it." ”
"Ah Dashang, my family should be to lend you money to marry! I really envy you, brother, I envy you! We won't take out the baby even if we die, what's the end of it? Didn't you end up like this? Da Niu said with a smile.
It seems that although he is cowardly, it does not mean that others are stupid. Erniu said that he had sought Old Man Zhao, and he also knew that he would fight a rake. This father's reputation is not so good.
"You... Don't talk about it either. I know everything, I know everything. The old man sighed on his back.
"Your Ah Da is my brother in life and death, your mother went when Lao Er was born, you two grew up with me, I don't know what kind of temperament I have?"
The two brothers trembled in unison, looking at the uncle's gaze with more and more fear.
"Brother Zhao did dig a lot of graves, and he did get a lot of money, gold and silver, but he donated all of them!"
"Donated?" Da Niu's heart chuckled, "Donate, where is the donation?" Where's the donation? ”
"Back then, there was a shortage of wars, chaotic battles broke out, lives were devastated, little devils trampled on the land of China, and there were so many years of fighting. Brother Zhao worked hard, sacrificed his life for righteousness, and once again did the work of his ancestors - digging graves, and all the money obtained was used to suppress the military disaster, support one party to achieve victory, and return peace to the world. What do you say, 'He is not a hero?' ”
"What did we do? There is nothing to do, and he will retire when he is successful, return to the mountains, and have children..."The old uncle was silent, and the furrows on his face were more profound, reflecting an era.
Who dares to say that the old man of the Zhao family is not a hero? Who would dare to criticize him for digging graves? There is nothing wrong with it at all, such a big hero should be praised for thousands of generations, but he didn't do it, he chose to go into hiding, he didn't want that statement, he just wanted to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
I was shocked by waves after waves, and the old man on the simple bed had such an experience.
"So it's gone? All gone? ”
The big bull was desperate and sat on the ground. Such a superficial person should not want him to have a high consciousness.
"Actually, I've always been curious, how did he resolve the curse of gravedigging? To be reasonable, you should... You should cut off your children and grandchildren... There shouldn't be... There is after..."
The ancient tomb has a great danger, all the tombs of the ancient illustrious and powerful families have great attention, every step is completed in strict accordance with the requirements, whether from the site selection or construction, and even the back of the organ, all have to be perfect, and the awareness of anti-theft has been there from ancient times to the present.
Like that kind of hidden weapon, the mercury poison arrangement is the most obvious, and the veteran tomb robber may be able to avoid these easily, but the curse of the tomb owner is absolutely impossible to prevent.
Old Man Zhao must be a capable person, he suppressed the corpse qi and curse before his death, and did not let his heirs take over his own business, but this is not scientific at all, unless there is another reason.
"Cut off children and grandchildren, take a closer look, is the Zhao family cut off children and grandchildren?" The old man laughed miserably.
I thought about it for a while, my wife died, my eldest son became rich, my grandsons all had the surname Cui, and my second son didn't look young, at least in his thirties, and he hadn't asked for a daughter-in-law yet. The current situation is gone!
"If it weren't for the guidance of the masters, the two sons wouldn't have been able to save it." The old uncle's hand fell, "What if you keep it?" The great brother's reputation will be ruined in their hands. ”
"It seems that I am wrong to blame Old Man Zhao..."Shaking his head slightly, "Such a character really can't let his soul fly away, how can he have a good death." ”
"So, who murdered Old Man Zhao?"
My eyes were like lightning, and my uncle's words had already made it very clear that the murderer was one of the two brothers, but I no longer speculated that I couldn't interfere in this matter.
"Boss! You're treating you well, aren't you..."
"Poof!"
Erniu fell to the ground, his loyal and honest face was full of horror, and cold sweat poured out.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? This... This... I'm not... Not after going to the big brother's house... Don't you see? Shut me up... What's the matter with me! ”
"Good! It turned out to be you. Da Niu stood up suddenly, blushed and pointed at Erniu with a red face, "I also slandered that I killed Ah Da, you must have forced Ah Da to ask for a daughter-in-law for you." ”
"It's not... No... Not me... I didn't kill Ah Da! Erniu whimpered and sat on the ground blankly.
"Isn't it who you are? I have long heard that you quarreled with Ah Da because you wanted to please your daughter-in-law, oh, after Ah Da died, you pretended to be filial, who did you deceive? ”
"I... I... I... Ahh
"Don't talk about it." Only this sentence broke through Erniu's defense, and the words of justification were also hidden in the abdomen.
Erniu got up suddenly, with a struggling look on his face, and threw himself to Old Man Zhao's side, ignoring his terrifying appearance, he hugged the corpse and wept.
"What are you crying about, you killed people, you killed us." Da Niu's voice of accountability was like a sharp knife inserted into Er Niu's heart, until he saw the blood in the sky.
"Erniu! Your grandfather won't let you ask for a daughter-in-law for your own good. ”
The uncle didn't have too much blame, although he had known who the murderer was, but he had been holding back. should have his own plans, whether it is inside or on the surface, I was deceived by my uncle, this person is not so simple.
"Uncle... I didn't let me ask for a daughter-in-law, so I was annoyed and put him... Shove him a bit. Who knows... Who knew he was like this... So went..."Erniu finally told the truth.
"You don't have to be like this, I know that my eldest brother was not at peace when he left, and he had the intention of revenge, in fact, I already knew that it was one of you..."
My pupils shrank, no wonder my uncle had killing intent at that time, but I don't know why, the killing intent is like a tide, it comes and goes quickly, and it shocked me.
"You! Thousands of nos, never... I just shouldn't say that your brother plotted your Da... In order to get rid of the crime, you melon baby really did everything..."The uncle's eyes closed slightly.
He was disappointed, very disappointed.
I also think that this incident subverted my cognition, I really didn't expect that the cow who cowed in and was greedy for money was not the murderer of his father, but the person who looked like him in front of him, and the second cow who was filial piety was.
Sure enough, you can't be too arbitrary, seeing is not necessarily believing, and you have made the mistake of empiricism.
"Humph!" Da Niu snorted coldly, drawing a line with his brother, disdainful of being with him, but forgetting that he himself was not a good thing.
Erniu shook his head desperately, tears flowing from his eyes, "Uncle, uncle, I don't want to... But... But I can't help it..."
"If it weren't for Ah Da... He refused... Refuse to ask me for a daughter-in-law... I won't push him, he won't die. You all know my brother's suffering, but what about me? Brother, you say you envy me, but I envy you too. ”
Da Niu was stunned, looking at Erniu's shining eyes, and he was also speechless.
"Every time... When I went out, everyone looked at me with that kind of disgust, and they would point and say, this is the bachelor of the old Zhao family! They all look down on me, they all look down on me, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve four years now! ”
Erniu is hysterical, who knows the bitterness in his heart?
"That day, Ah Da came back and asked him about begging for a daughter-in-law, I fell in love with the widow of the Li family, and people didn't think that my family was poor and wanted to marry me, but she said that she couldn't wait for many days, what could I do, so she quarreled with Ah Da..."
"Ah Da has always said that he can't marry, and he also said that something will happen if I marry her, what will happen? What will happen? Didn't I give him a pension? In a hurry... I pushed him..."
After grabbing his hair with both hands and dragging his big to the mountains and forests to bury him, he also fell into deep self-blame, and was afraid of the East Window incident, so he insisted that his eldest brother killed someone, so as to get rid of suspicion, but he didn't expect that his uncle had already seen through everything...
"Haha! Oh my life! It's all fate! ”
The uncle next to me was crazy, crying and laughing, and I was scared.
"Mi'er, you really can't marry a daughter-in-law, your big man is not wrong, something will indeed happen."
Erniu simply broke the jar and said angrily, "What can't I marry, my brother is fine, why can't I marry?" ”
"Because he doesn't want his second son to become a domestic animal... You're thinking about you..."
Erniu was struck by lightning, his mouth closed and opened, "Why... Why... Be sure to get in..."
"This is the sin of your great creation, people are watching the sky, and the curse of tomb robbery is not fun. This is a joint sin, and all blood relatives will have to bear part of the retribution, especially you two brothers...", I said with mixed feelings.
This is a compromise, a way to circumvent it, a last resort resort in order not to implicate future generations, and no one makes this choice unless it is absolutely necessary.
The uncle's big hand suddenly fell on the table next to him, making a loud noise, and yelling, "Kneel!" ”
Damn, I almost got down on my knees, but luckily my knees were strong, otherwise I would have been ashamed.
Da Niu and Er Niu really fell to their knees on the ground, their legs together, their heads bowed.
"It's not that I don't tell you, but I can't tell you when the time comes, my eldest brother, that is, your grandfather, knows that you can't know it. Just for the sake of the world, although I am not worthy for him, he said that he has a clear conscience. ”
Uncle said a lot of words, it turned out that although Old Man Zhao's behavior seemed stupid to outsiders, he also got the respect of some strange people, some of whom changed his life for him and sought a glimmer of life.
This glimmer of life should be on his descendants, so that his Zhao family will not be cut off from their children and grandchildren, and the price is to exchange another curse for the curse of cutting off their children and grandchildren, and that curse is ...... Died at the hands of his own son...
