Chapter 45: Before Nightfall
"You said that this Lu family is really stingy, such a big family business, they don't even care about our dinner."
As soon as Xu Minghao finished complaining, the door of the backyard was pushed open.
Lu Yuwei walked in with two subordinates and three exquisite black wood lunch boxes.
"Mr. Lin, the three of you must be hungry, this is the dinner that my father asked the kitchen to prepare for you."
"Miss Lu, you came in time, my cousin is crying out that he is hungry."
Xu Minghao hurriedly walked over and helped Lu Yuwei take the lunch box in his hand, and then put it on the stone table in the courtyard.
He was about to open the box with hairy hands, but was slapped by Lin Chu: "Wash your claws first!" Have you forgotten what you just touched? ”
Hu Lai fetched a bucket of water from the well, and the three of them sat down after washing their hands.
"Then I won't disturb your meal."
Lu Yuwei left with two subordinates.
Xu Minghao couldn't wait to open the three boxes, and the aroma was immediately fragrant.
White chicken, braised duck, roast goose, barbecued pork, barbecued meat, and steamed fish are all hot and freshly baked hard dishes.
There are also two plates of vegetarian dishes, fungus, parsley, lily, abalone juice, and green cabbage.
and an autumn cured meat platter.
Meat and vegetarian matching, balanced nutrition, color, flavor and taste.
"It's worthy of being produced by a private chef of a big family!" Xu Minghao swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were straight.
Lin Chu added food to Xu Minghao and Hu Lai, reminding: "Don't eat too much, so as not to be sleepy at night." ”
But these two people didn't care about this, and devoured them like starving ghosts reincarnated.
Lin Chu sighed helplessly.
I was very confused.
Won't these two guys really drag their feet at night?
While eating, Lin Chu asked, "Hu Lai, what kind of goalkeeper did you use to be in the football team?" ”
Xu Minghao sneered: "Do you still need to ask, it must be which community football team, and even the old man and old lady may not be able to get together the number." ”
Hu Lai laughed: "Cousin, that really disappointed you, brother, I am an official player of the provincial team." ”
Xu Minghao didn't believe it, and rolled his eyes: "If you really want to be so awesome, how can you be like this?" ”
In fact, Lin Chu was also a little unconvinced.
Until Hu Lai took out his phone and showed a few photos.
Half of the meat on the side of Xu Minghao's mouth fell into the bowl, and he looked at Hu Lai dumbfounded: "You...... Are you really an athlete on the provincial team? ”
Hu Lai nodded.
Lin Chu asked suspiciously, "Then why did you come to the deep city to do all this physical work?" ”
Hu Lai put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed: "Because I refused to play match-fixing, I was excluded by the team and persecuted by Heizhuang, and they casually planted a reason and fired me." Even so, Heizhuang was still unwilling to let me go, and threatened to cut off one of my hands. The provincial capital couldn't stay any longer, so I had to run to the deep city to avoid the limelight. ”
Lin Chu felt a fire in his heart when he heard this: "These people are really lawless!" ”
Hu Lai seemed to have been pessimistic for a long time and said: "Where there are interests, there is darkness, and the same is true for the team." Not only does Heizhuang want us to play match-fixing, but some leaders will also ask us to play match-fixing for the sake of such and such interests, and deliberately lose to the opponent. ”
Xu Minghao said angrily: "No wonder I am a big country of 1.4 billion people, and I can't find 13 people who can play football." It turned out that those who could play football were kicked a long time ago, and the rest were obedient filial sons and grandsons. ”
Hu Lai said indifferently: "I don't feel regret or pity at all when I was forced to leave the team, because that was not what I wanted." I don't know anything but play, so when I get to Deep City, I can only look for these jobs that have no threshold and most people don't want to do. ”
When Lin Chu heard this, he suddenly felt a little sad.
Hu Lai said optimistically: "But so what? It's a bit harder now, but I'm doing a good job. And you can earn more than 5,000 fast money a month, which is more than enough than the top. ”
Xu Minghao's face darkened suddenly.
Because he was the one who earned less than 5,000 a month and was more than the one who was compared to the bottom.
I was really shot while lying down.
By the time we had eaten, it was almost dark.
Every household in Baisha Township has lights up.
Lin Chu and the three of them continued to start the work that had not been completed before dinner.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai lit oil lamps in the lobby.
Place an unglazed earthen bowl on the ground, pour lamp oil into a long-spouted copper kettle, sprinkle a few dried osmanthus flowers, and then insert a wick to light it.
In total, two hundred and fifty-six oil lamps were to be placed on three sides and six rows.
The function of lighting so many osmanthus oil lamps is to prevent the corpse from overflowing.
Osmanthus not only has a pleasant fragrance, but also can degrade corpses.
This is also the reason why the cemetery is greened with many kinds of osmanthus flowers.
When the two were busy in the lobby, Lin Chu had already made a large Kong Ming lantern in the courtyard with bamboo strips and rice paper.
Then through the ladder, climbed to the roof.
He removed the tiles from the wooden bed in the middle of the lobby below and opened a "skylight".
Then he shouted under the window, "Have you finished lighting the oil lamp?" ”
Xu Minghao, who didn't see him, replied: "Immediately, there are still the last ten lamps." ”
Soon, Xu Minghao and Hu Lai both appeared under the skylight, looking at Lin Chu on the roof with their heads held high.
Lin Chu threw down a thin copper wire and instructed: "Wrap it around Lu Lao's left wrist, remember that it is Lu Lao's left wrist, not your left side, don't make a mistake." ”
The two of them immediately wrapped the thin copper wire.
In the process, Hu said: "Why is this old man's body so cold and so hard, like a stone that has just been taken out of the refrigerator." ”
After their work is done.
Lin Chu began to light this oversized Kong Ming lantern, and the candles inside were also oversized, enough to burn until dawn tomorrow.
The Kong Ming lantern was puffed up by the heat, and then gradually rose into the air, and after flying about ten meters, it did not move.
Because under the candlestick candlestick, there is also a thin copper wire tied.
This thin copper wire connects the Kong Ming lantern in the air with Lu Lao on the glutinous rice bed in the lobby.
By this time it was completely dark.
It was nearly half a moon, and the moon on the horizon was almost full, very bright.
It was a very ideal weather.
Lin Chu glanced around, and there seemed to be someone burning paper money by the river in the township.
There were yellow spots of light and green smoke everywhere.
July 15 and 14 are folk customs.
There are even thirteen who have passed the middle yuan.
Today happens to be July 13th.
Lin Chu got down from the roof and returned to the lobby.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai were sitting on small stools, and they were sprinkling cinnabar and wormwood into the three charcoal braziers every few minutes according to Lin Chu's previous request.
Hu Lai asked curiously: "Brother, what is the purpose of that Kong Ming lantern on your roof?" ”
Lin Chu said: "That's not Kong Ming lantern, the exact name is called moon lantern." The so-called moon lamp is a lamp used to absorb the essence of Taiyin. ”
Xu Minghao interjected and asked, "Cousin, what is the essence of Taiyin?" ”
Hu Lai sneered: "Cousin, you can't use common sense." The sun is the sun, and the yin is of course the moon. ”
Lin Chu nodded and said, "Hu is right, the moon lamp absorbs the essence of the moon's Taiyin, and it will be transmitted to Lu Lao's body through the thin copper wire. ”
Xu Minghao still didn't understand: "The sun belongs to yang, and the yin belongs to yin, so we should introduce the essence of the sun into Lu Lao's body to overcome yin with yang." How do you introduce him to the essence of Taiyin, isn't this yin on yin? ”
Lin Chu asked rhetorically: "What happens if you continue to inject water into a sponge that has been filled with water?" ”
Before Xu Minghao could figure it out, Hu Laixian suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, the newly injected water will squeeze out the original water in the sponge." ”
"That's the truth. Lu Lao's body was now filled with a yin and evil corpse aura, like a saturated sponge. Exposure to sunlight is equivalent to lighting a match and throwing it into a wet sponge, which is useless. ”
"But if the essence of Taiyin is introduced into Lu Lao's body, it is equivalent to injecting water into a saturated wet sponge, just like Hu said, the original water in the sea will overflow first. In the same way, the yin and evil corpse qi in Lu Lao's body will also be forced out by the continuous entry of the Taiyin essence. ”
"In addition, we have the assistance of these three basins of 'plug-in' yang fire, as well as the suppression of 108 yang lines on Lu Lao's body, which will speed up the separation of the corpse qi in his body."
"Most of the corpse qi that leaves the corpse will be immediately absorbed by this layer of glutinous rice, and a small part will be degraded by the surrounding osmanthus oil lamps."
"After Lu Lao's corpse qi is exhausted, we only need to pour the glutinous rice that has absorbed the corpse qi and pour osmanthus lamp oil to burn, and we can be done."
Lin Chu explained the whole process at one time.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai nodded again and again when they heard this, and they had nothing to ask anymore.
