Chapter 54: Hu Laojia's Story Meeting
In the 80s of the last century, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, the overall political environment was relaxed, Hu Laojia relied on the craftsmanship left by his ancestors, and started Mr. Feng Shui in the village. Hu Laojia is different from other fortune tellers, he still does the same thing, but when he is sick, he persuades people to send them to the hospital, and he has gained a good reputation.
With this ancestral craft, in less than a year, he completely broke away from agricultural production activities and became one of the few people in the village who became rich first.
That night, he was about to go to bed, but he didn't expect the door to be knocked on suddenly. When Hu Laojia heard it, come on, it's not that there is a white thing, or someone has fallen into evil, anyway, don't want to sleep tonight.
Hu Laojia, cheer up, put on the clothes and go to open the door.
Outside the door stood an old man in his 50s. The old man, although he is not tall, has an extraordinary bearing, and he is not a local at first glance.
When the old man saw Hu Laojia, he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Tie Xiaojie, I bothered Mr. Hu late at night, just because there was something white at home, I want to ask Mr. to help me go on a trip, if you offend, please forgive me!" ”
When Hu Laojia said the three words of Tie Xiaojie, several of us couldn't help but feel shocked! When did this Hu Laojia get involved with Tie Sanye again. In fact, when he said that there were more than 300 private detectives buried in the cliff, I had another hunch that this matter should have something to do with Tie Sanye. It's just because at that time, the only person who could mobilize so many private detectives was Tie Sanye.
Hu Laojia saw that Tie Sanye was not a local at that time, and on this big night, he couldn't help but have an eye, so he asked: "Where is your home, which village is it from, and how far is it from here!" ”
Tie Sanye didn't shy away from hearing it and said: "My family lives in Fengzhen, which is 50 miles away from here!" ”
When Hu Laojia heard the three words "Luofeng Town", he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and said: "Nonsense, the people of Luofeng Town were infected with leprosy in their early years, and they died and fled, and there was no one living in the village for a long time. You lie to me like this, it can be seen that you have another plan in your heart, I can't help you with this, you better go to someone else! ”
Tie Sanye heard this and said, "Sir, don't worry! Listen to me slowly. This Luofeng Town has indeed been uninhabited for a long time, and it was his wife who fled outside with him. Last year, the old man was seriously ill and wanted to return to his roots. We had to go back to the village, rebuild the houses and roads, and then took the old lady back to live for less than a month, but I didn't expect that yesterday the old lady couldn't swallow her breath and left. We also heard about Mr. Wang's reputation, so we came to ask Mr. to do a three-day ritual for the old lady, so as to fulfill our filial piety. ”
Hu Laojia looked at this Tie Xiaojie's face, not like a treacherous person. But on this big night, when he was asked to follow him to the deserted village that was uninhabited before, Hu Laojia still muttered a little in his heart.
After thinking about it, he said to Tie Sanye: "For the sake of your filial piety, I will go with you tonight." But I'm not going alone, I'm going with my brother with you. If you do this, you go into the house and wait for me, and I will go and call my brother to come!" ”
Immediately, Hu Laojia greeted Tie Sanye into the door, and asked his wife to bring tea and rice, beckoning Tie Sanye to eat, and then he walked to his younger brother's house Hu Laoxiu.
This Hu Laojia was born a dwarf, with a short stature and an ugly face; Although Hu Laoxiu is his younger brother, his appearance is the same as him in the sky and underground. Hu Laoxiu is 1.8 meters tall, tall and handsome, plus he doesn't do much farm work, so he looks white and clean, and he doesn't look like a child who grew up in the countryside, but like those college students in the city.
Hu Laoxiu had studied for a few years before and took the college entrance examination, but because of the political trial, the composition of the family was not good, so he was not admitted. Just in time for the reform and opening up, he wanted to see the outside world. But Hu Laojia has always disagreed, first, he is afraid that he will be bullied when he is too young, and second, Hu Laojia still wants him to review and prepare for next year's college entrance examination. The current political examination is not as strict as before, and as long as the score is high, you can be admitted. Hu Laojia always felt in his heart that his younger brother had studied for so many years, and it would be a pity if he didn't get admitted to a university.
Hu Laojia came to the door of his brother's house and was about to knock on the door, but he heard the moans of love between men and women in the house. Hu Laojia is not surprised, there are girls in the nearby villages who like Hu Laoxiu, and this is not the first time Hu Laoxiu has encountered this kind of thing.
He stood outside the house and coughed vigorously. The people in the room seemed to be at the critical moment, tossing and shouting for a few more minutes, and then completely stopped. At this time, I heard Hu Laoxiu in the house, and asked weakly, "Who!" ”
Hu Laojia said: "It's me, open the door quickly!" ”
Hu Laoxiu responded, jumped down from the bed and opened the door: "What's the matter, this big night!" ”
Hu Laojia saw that he was not wearing any clothes, so he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, and follow me to work!" ”
Hu Laoxiu listened and said lazily: "It's the middle of the night, you can go by yourself!" I don't want to go! ”
When Hu Laojia heard this, he became angry, but he knew his younger brother's temperament, you can neither use strength nor show weakness, the only way is to lure him with profit. "Do you still want to go to Guangzhou? After you finish this trip with me tonight, come back and choose a zodiac date, and I will give you money to go to Guangzhou! ”
Hu Laoxiu listened, turned around and said, "Okay, what you say counts!" I'll go with you tonight. "I walked into the house and got dressed and packed in less than ten minutes.
The two were about to leave, but they didn't expect a woman to run out of the house and ask, "Hu Laoxiu, where are you going?" ”
When Hu Laojia saw this woman, he couldn't help but be surprised.
This woman is none other than the widow of the village, Aunt Wu. This Wu lady is actually not very old, about twenty-five years old, and her husband just died a few years ago. Before her husband died, he was a pork seller, and after her husband's death, Aunt Wu inherited her husband's business.
Aunt Wu is beautiful, and when she saw that her husband was dead, the bachelors in several nearby villages were all beating her mind. But this woman is a good hand with a knife and a gun, and if you really move and leave, you three or five people may not be able to get close to her.
Hu Laojia knew how many girlfriends he had as his brother, but he didn't expect him to get mixed up with Aunt Wu.
Hu Laoxiu turned around and said, "My brother and I are going to work, and we will come back in two days, you wait for me at home!" ”
Aunt Wu said: "I don't care, I want to go!" I don't want to be paid! I want to be with you again! ”
Hu Laojia listened to it and thought to himself, Aunt Wu is a good skill in ten miles and eight towns, and she may be able to use her in this job tonight. Even if you don't need it, take her with you, and you always have another insurance in your heart.
So Hu Laojia said: "Don't be verbose, hurry up and pack your things and come with us." ”
Immediately, the three of them returned to Hu Laojia's house and joined Tie Sanye. Before Hu Laojia left, he deliberately went to Tie Sanye in front of him, and explained clearly which village, which household, and what he did on this trip, and he came back in a few days. Before leaving, he proudly confessed that if he didn't come back after three days, he would send someone to pick him up.
He did this because he wanted to tell Tie San Ye that his whereabouts were clear to his family, so it was best for him not to use any crooked brains.
After explaining these things, a group of four people set off from Hu Laojia's home.
Out of the village, as soon as Tie Sanye beckoned, eight big men carried four sedan chairs out. A dozen or so others stood there respectfully.
Hu Laojia originally calculated that this more than 50-mile mountain road, with his own foot strength, would have to go until four or five o'clock tomorrow morning to arrive. After arriving at the ground, if it is hot today, the mortuary cannot be stopped for too long, so he has to open the altar immediately, and this trip down, it is estimated that he is tired enough.
I didn't expect this Tie San Ye to think so thoroughly and prepare a sedan chair.
To be honest, I have heard of this thing before, but I have never seen it, let alone sat on it.
Seeing that Tie Sanye's grandeur was difficult to resist, Hu Laojia climbed into the sedan chair first. Immediately Tie Sanye, Hu Laojia, Hu Laoxiu, Wu Damiang, the four of them took a sedan chair, Tie Sanye gave an order, the men who carried the sedan chair had wind under their feet, walking like flying, Hu Laojia was half-lying and leaning on the sedan chair, only to feel that the mountain wind around him was blowing slowly, as if riding a fast horse running, so arbitrary and comfortable, he fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a tent.
He walked out of the tent and couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw that I was in a valley, surrounded by dozens of tents, and some people were carrying and debugging various equipment. In the distance, a north-south mountain is about to soar into the sky like a giant dragon rushing out of the ground. And at the foot of the mountain, there are rows of coffins, and judging by the scale, there are at least three or four hundred.
What is Luofeng Village here!
Hu Laojia already understood at this time that he finally fell in love with the third master of the iron.
