Chapter 114: The Paper Craftsman
This year's winter came early, and some of the leaves on the trees were still not clean, and the snow was already covered.
The days are still the same, nothing new. However, there are many idlers in the agricultural slack season, and the recreation field in the city is much more lively than usual.
The Drum Tower is full almost every day. Now everyone is not afraid to listen to the drama with the Oriental people and Lao Maozi. Those foreigners are quite polite, not much different from before.
If anything, it is snowing, the train station is suspended, and there are now only a few soldiers stationed there. Then there is the price of salt is a little higher, not as cheap as when Zhao Buddha was alive, but it is not ridiculously expensive to sell, and it is still affordable.
There are still a lot of small posts on the streets and alleys promoting faith in God. Most of the common people were illiterate, so many deacons and priests came to the streets to preach. It's good to go and listen, about two or three times a month, you can get a small bag of rice, or a few eggs.
If it weren't for Lao Maozi occupying the granary, it would be better than the original green camp guarding the granary. At that time, the guards of the Green Camp grain depot did not see them distributing grain to the people for no reason like Lao Maozi.
The ghost house is also idle, and I haven't encountered any big ditches and bumps in the past two months, and the things I go out to show people are all trivial things, and there is nothing too embarrassing. Now many times Mr. Peng doesn't make a move, and lets Huzi go out alone to see things.
Huzi also has some reputation, everyone knows that the kid next to Mr. Peng has come out and learned! Wherever he goes now, most of the people he knows also call him "Xiao Dao Chang" or "Xiao Peng".
But there is still one thing that weighs on the hearts of everyone in the ghost family, that demon monk.
Huzi came back that day and explained the matter very clearly. It is said that the apprentice of the seventeenth grandmother found the hiding place of the demon monk, but it was in the ghost domain.
What kind of field is the ghost domain? It is the underworld in the yang world, and if the living creature enters it, there is no return!
But wherever the ghost domain can be formed, there is either a plague, or a bloody battlefield, or many people have suffered a rebellion and innocent deaths. All in all, first of all, there must be a lot of people who have died unexpectedly, the resentment is rushing to cover the sky, and the yin qi does not condense into a "domain" before it can be counted as a ghost domain.
A ghost domain is not a piece of land carved out in the present world, and no one is allowed to go there, but in a certain place, as if a large array has been laid out, forming a small world and becoming a country of its own.
If it is said that since then, there will be no entanglement between the ghost domain and the present world, but the thousands of evil ghosts in the ghost snake must rely on the yang energy of the living to not dissipate. As a result, all kinds of evil ghosts came out to entangle the living, and there were even more people who handcuffed the living to support the ghost king. Moreover, the ghost domain is said to be a world of its own, but in fact, it is still attached to the five elements, and there are often people who walk into it unknowingly, and they are never heard from again.
It's such a dangerous place, ordinary living people must not be able to go. It is said that it is human, even many great immortal families who have achieved cultivation do not dare to set foot in such a place easily.
Even Grandma Seventeen didn't dare.
As the saying goes, a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves. In that ghost domain, there are not only ghost kings who don't know the depths, but they are also said to be thousands of ordinary evil ghosts, and they can also consume Hu Seventeen to death.
For a long time, the thing about this stone rune is that the ghost door is in the light and the opponent is in the dark. Don't say what the main owner looks like, who his surname is, whether he is a human or a ghost, I don't know anything. The demon monk can be said to be the only piece of thread at present, and if he can't catch it, he will run away.
Hu Qiqi wanted to find the owner of the stone talisman to avenge the juniors in his family. The ghost door is even simpler, it has ruined other people's good things more than once, so people are worried about it, so it is better to find the door with the gong and the drum in front of the door to make it clear. What's more, this person uses stone talismans to cast demon spells, which is to kill people's lives, Mr. Peng can't bear this, eliminating demons and defending the road, it has never been an empty word!
In order to discuss how to find out this demon monk, Grandma Seventeen also came to find Mr. Peng twice. After discussing and discussing, no result was reached. It is definitely not possible to knock on the door, there are many dangers in the ghost domain, and I may not be able to come back if I go this time. Thinking about it, there was no other way, Hu Qiqi asked a few of his fast-legged fairies to star, something was immediately spread, this monk is still a living person, he can't eat without drinking water, right? In the end, it still has to come out.
But it's also strange, this innocent monk first went out and then entered the ghost domain, so that the two gods saw him once, and he never came out again! Even Mr. Peng wondered if this demon monk had died in the ghost domain. But thinking about his weird ability, it is estimated that he is still alive.
Huzi is actually quite concerned about this matter, but he knows it, but it is useless - can he still knock on the door? You have to be honest and practice on the mountain.
The snow stopped, and Huzi and Zhao Shankun were clearing the snow in the yard.
Zhao Shankun is really not the original Zhao puppy, but it has been more than two months, and he has already suffered and tired. If it was left in the past, it would not be said that it was snow clearing, and the two steps to school would not be willing to walk by themselves, and the domestic slave yard workers would have to carry a section on their backs. Now let him wear the cotton clothes that Huzi wore when he was a child, and he can no longer see that he is a child of a wealthy family.
The snow in Kanto is incomparable to the other side. Although it was the first snow of the winter, it was thick enough to fall a palm's high. The little brothers were busy for half an afternoon before they swept out the front and back courtyards.
After working for so long, Huzi also had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was about to take off his hand and move his fingers to rest his sweat, but he was slapped from behind. Looking back, before he could see who it was, a snowball the size of a basin slapped him in the face.
Huzi shivered hard and wiped the snow off his face, but he saw Zhao Yueyue stretching out her hand to point at him, and she was leaning back and laughing.
There are ways to take others, but Huzi can't help Huang Yatou. This little girl is not a girl's temperament, just like a little boy, she dares to play with anything and move anything. It is also because her home is not far from the Sun Temple, and she can run here eight times a day! According to her mother's statement, "This girl is in a hurry to get married and take the Sun Temple as her home."
said so, Zhao Yueyue ran this way, but her mother didn't stop her. This little girl is also very fun with Huzi and Zhao Shankun.
Seeing that Zhao Yueyue had laughed enough, Huzi took a stubble: "Huang girl, is it fun?" ”
Zhao Yueyue's energy hadn't passed yet, she held her stomach and replied, "It's fun!" ”
"I'll make it fun for you!" Huzi shouted, surprised, slapped a belt on the snowdrift with a broom, raised the old high snow curtain, and slapped the yellow girl's head all over the face.
"Yikes!" The yellow girl screamed, and hurriedly ran behind another snowdrift, gathered a big snowball, and hit it back.
Huzi was wearing a stuffy bag on his hand, and the snowball came no faster than Zhao Yueyue, and he fell behind for a while, so he beckoned Zhao Shankun: "Senior brother, help me." ”
"I'm not going to help," Zhao Shankun snorted and took two steps back, "You husband and wife are fighting, I will follow the mess, and you will reconcile when you turn around, Sister Yueyue is not counting me with you, you should come back and bully me." ”
Huzi just made a snowball in his hand, and as soon as he heard this, he threw it directly on Zhao Shankun's body: "Little brat, what are you talking nonsense, I'll cut you again!" ”
Where is Zhao Shankun willing to give up? He took advantage of Huzi and Zhao Yueyue to go back and forth, secretly gathered a snowball in the stuffy, grabbed Huzi's collar from behind, and stuffed the snowball into Huzi's collar. Huzi felt a chill in his heart, and before he could come back to his senses, the snowball was slapped by Zhao Shankun from the outside, and the whole thing was shattered on Huzi's flesh!
"Mom!" Huzi screamed, turned around and grabbed Zhao Shankun, who was about to run, and lifted him up, "Little cub, see how I clean you up!" ”
Before the words fell, he picked up Zhao Shankun horizontally and threw him in the snowdrift......
The three little ones were playing in the courtyard, and the freshly swept snow was swept everywhere, Mr. Peng put down the book, looked out the window, and laughed out loud instead of being anxious or annoyed.
Snow is the best toy, and winter is the best time for children on the tile. No matter how much you mess around when it's snowing, you won't be reprimanded by the adults in the family. In a few days, when the ice is thick, Lamb Lake will be a place of joy for the children.
Three people holding the snow, you hit me, I hit you. Originally, Zhao Yueyue and Zhao Shankun dealt with Huzi together, but they were "mistaken allies" in the south, and later it was purely three people rolling in the snow and frolicking with each other.
Huzi is actually happy to play for a while, one doesn't have to think about anything, and the other is that Zhao Shankun hasn't laughed so happily for a long time.
But they had to stop, and someone came in the front yard.
The man was in his fifties, skinny and small, and very cleanly dressed. He wore a leather jacket and carried a cigarette pouch. When he entered the door and saw the three children frolicking, he hid two steps back before asking, "Children, don't make trouble, is Mr. Peng at home?" ”
This man was a paper-tying craftsman in Changtu Province, and he owned a paper-binding shop with his wife and two sons. Because they all eat dead people's meals, they have more or less contacts, so Huzi knows him.
Huzi waved his hand to signal Huang Yatou and Zhao Shankun to stop, shook off the snow on his body, and arched his hand towards the visitor: "Uncle Shi, long time no see." What kind of wind blew you here in this snowy day? My master is reading in the main hall, come, please. ”
The snow is snowy, and the mountain road is not very easy to walk. Looking at Master Shi's posture, it was the snow that rushed up as soon as it stopped, there must be something in a hurry, otherwise he couldn't go up the mountain in such weather.
When I came to the room next to the main hall, Master Shi and Mr. Peng had a good etiquette, and Mr. Peng beckoned Huzi to make tea. Master Shi waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Don't bother, but please come down the mountain with me immediately." ”
