5. Chapter 5
This scene frightened Lao Wang and the others, Lao Wang wrapped me in his arms, pinched me hard, and said urgently: "Jiu Yanzi, what are you, don't scare Lao Tzu!" ”
"Isn't it evil?" The eight immortals next to him said.
Hearing this, Lao Wang's face tightened, took out a piece of nanmu, knocked it a few times in my acupoint, and said, "This thing is too evil, hurry up and carry it back to the village, and ask Lao Xiucai to come and see!" ”
Lao Wang's mouth of the old show is a famous lazy man in our village, but also the only one in our village who knows how to act, almost a hundred years old, the body is still very tough, when he was young, he wanted to learn the Tao and refused to work in the field, and then the Tao did not learn, but passed the age of marrying, he was single all his life, and his life was extremely poor, and his usual life was dependent on the villagers of our village, so he survived.
Fortunately, Lao Xiucai usually reads more books and understands nature, and when someone near our village holds a red and white wedding, he always likes to ask him to find an auspicious day, and occasionally asks him to see feng shui, and he also happens to take advantage of this to make a tooth sacrifice.
As for the title of Xiucai, according to his own words, he was a Xiucai during the Xuantong period, but his life was thin, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he lost his fame, and the people of our village also had mixed opinions about it. However, we see that he is old and don't want to argue with him, so we admit his identity as a talent.
Lao Wang and the Eight Immortals carried me back to the village, and when my father saw my situation, he cried out with a wow, and he didn't dare to let my mother know my situation, so he carried me directly to the door of Lao Xiucai.
However, his father was a sensible person, and he did not blame Lao Wang, but comforted Lao Wang, told him not to blame himself, and expressed his gratitude to the other eight immortals, persuaded them to leave, and left Lao Wang to help.
The door of Lao Xiucai's house was closed, and there was Lao Xiucai's unique voice inside, and the father listened to this voice, and suddenly the fire came, and his son now did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the old guy was still interested in thinking about this thing.
I didn't care about Lao Wang's pulling, and kicked on the door, this wooden door was originally old, and it definitely couldn't withstand my father's kick, and it broke a hole with a 'clang'.
Maybe his father made too much noise, and as soon as he stepped down, a human voice came from Lao Xiucai's yard, and it was Lao Xiucai's voice: "Which turtle son, knock on a devil's door in broad daylight!" ”
After a while, Lao Xiucai came to the gate to see that the door of his house was kicked by someone, he didn't say anything, turned around and returned home, and in less than a minute, he ran over angrily with a firewood knife, "Chen Dazhuang, you turtle son, what did the old man do to you, you dare to smash the door of the old man's house, see the old man split you alive today!" ”
Seeing Lao Xiucai carrying a firewood knife, his father confessed, knelt in front of Lao Xiucai with his head down, and said: "Old scholar, your old man must save my family's nine sons, he carried the coffin and foamed at the mouth." ”
"Are you here to invite an old man, or... Planning to kill someone? "My father slammed the door of his house, and Lao Xiucai was angry, so his tone was not so good.
Lao Wang hurriedly stepped forward, took down the firewood knife in Lao Xiucai's hand, and said: "Old pedant, you are old and discouraged, you are a person with real skills, don't worry about Lao Chen, he is his beloved son who kicked the door of your house, you always hurry up and take a look at Jiu Yanzi, after the incident, I will repair the door for you, and then give you a few bottles of good wine." ”
Hearing this, Lao Xiucai's previous calm face finally showed a smile, stroked the white beard that did not have much under his chin, and said, "As far as you can talk, carry him in and let the old man take a look." ”
My father glanced at Lao Wang gratefully, and the two of them took a lot of effort to carry me in, and Lao Wang told Lao Xiucai some of the things he encountered in carrying the coffin, and even the things of Liuding and Liujia were truthfully explained.
Lao Xiucai nodded after hearing this, pondered for a while, and scolded: "One-eyed dragon, you are trying to kill people, why don't you have any common sense for carrying so many coffins?" Do you know the birth date of the deceased? Do you know which zodiac signs clash with the dead? The old man sees that you have fallen into the eyes of money. ”
After scolding, he was still angry, so Lao Xiucai picked up a stick and pounced on Lao Wang, and pounced on him.
Lao Wang didn't get angry, he knelt down with a puff, and said, "The burial is too urgent, I didn't have time to ask you, I'm sorry for Lao Chen, I'm sorry for Jiu Yanzi!" As he spoke, he began to cry.
The father helped Lao Wang up on the side, looked at Lao Xiucai nervously and asked, "Is there any way to save Jiu Yanzi?" ”
Lao Xiucai glared at his father and Lao Wang, and asked his father to prepare half a bucket of rice and then stir it with half a bucket of urine.
Where did my father dare to be lazy, and hurriedly found these things, the whole house was filled with a stench in an instant, and Lao Xiucai ordered my father to pour that thing off my head.
Strange to say, as the feces poured on my head, I woke up leisurely, and then slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Lao Wang's haggard face, and then I saw my father's slightly swollen eyes, and when they made eye contact, their expressions immediately turned into surprise.
"Wake up, wake up!"
My head was a little groggy, I felt like I was prostrating, I didn't even have the strength to raise my hand, and I asked weakly, "How... So stinky? ”
Lao Wang was about to say something, but was stopped by Lao Xiucai, he said: "One-eyed dragon, you need to go to the sin you yourself, but this matter, you go to the cemetery to dig up the new grave, and then pour a few buckets of feces into the tomb, otherwise the deceased will find trouble with the nine men." ”
"If you do this, the tomb will be ruined, isn't it a bit of a shame?" After listening, Lao Wang asked uncertainly.
Lao Xiucai glared at him and said, "This is the only way, it's up to you whether you do it or not, the old man has no other way." ”
I don't know if Lao Wang used feces to fill the grave, but I knew that I dreamed of a woman that night, and she asked me for her life with a hideous face, saying that I made her die without peace, and sooner or later she would be punished.
The next day, my father took me to bring two bottles of liquor to see Lao Xiucai, to express my gratitude, but I don't know what happened, Lao Xiucai actually politely declined, you must know that he is usually a drunkard, and later heard Lao Wang say that the liquor he sent over was also rejected by Lao Xiucai.
My father thought that Lao Xiucai didn't like the gift was not heavy enough, so he took the 700 yuan I earned from carrying the coffin to the town, and in addition to the money for buying medicine for my mother, there were still 200 yuan left, and I bought two bottles of high-grade liquor, saying that it was high-end, but in fact, it was about 20 yuan a bottle of liquor, but for my family, this wine was indeed the most high-end liquor.
How do you know that Lao Xiucai didn't even bother to open the door this time, so he sent his father away, although his father was sometimes a little short-tempered, but, he was a grateful person, he thought that he owed Lao Xiucai a life, and he must send something to feel at ease, so he asked me to squat at the door of Lao Xiucai, and beckoned me to give this high-end liquor to Lao Xiucai.
