As soon as I heard this, I stared at Xu Jianguo in astonishment, and said in a trembling voice: "You... Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

He glanced at me and said, "Little brother, this should not have been said to you, you also know that the old man and the three brothers of the Xu family are a little close, and some things must not be said to the outside world, but you are the apprentice of the benefactor, the old man can't harm you, you better go!" ”

I sighed, said a word of thanks to him, and said, "Uncle Jianguo, I am a teacher, and I can't leave!" ”

To tell the truth, when he heard that the three brothers of the Xu family buried the newborn calf under the foundation, I wanted to leave, the reason is very simple, the newborn calf is buried under the foundation, there is a very old legend, that is, in ancient times, building a house, it is easy to encounter natural disasters, such as floods, landslides, ground fissures and other natural phenomena.

At that time, people were not as developed as they are now, and they didn't know what a natural phenomenon was, so they thought that God was punishing the person who built the house, which roughly means that the house was built in the wrong place, and they had to pray to God for the reason, so the practice of laying the foundation appeared.

However, it is definitely not possible to lay the foundation like this, after all, it is a good thing to build a house, how can you dig a hole under the house, and digging a hole in ancient times, it was for the dead to make a house, which is too unlucky.

So, people at that time would bury animal carcasses under the foundations.

So, here's the problem.

What kind of animal carcasses are buried?

This is also particular, the general house pays attention to burying old buffaloes, old cattle, and also burying monkeys, which means praying that these animals can protect their own houses, and future generations will be honest and honest.

Later, people's ideological consciousness was high, and they felt that burying the corpses of old buffaloes and old cattle took up too much space, so they switched to a pair of cow hooves, and in the Qing Dynasty, even cow hooves were not used, but changed to cow blood, pig blood and other things, which evolved so far and have been banned with chicken blood.

Like the three brothers of the Xu family burying the newborn calf, there were also things in ancient times, but this omen is not good, and there is a short-lived meaning in it.

Thinking of this, I looked at Xu Jianguo and asked him, "Uncle Jianguo, why did the three brothers of the Xu family do this?" ”

He shook his head and said, "How does the old man know, but I am not the only one who has seen this, but the village chief of our village has also seen it, in his words, the three brothers of the Xu family are cursing their father to die early, and the reason why the house is doing such a trick is because their actions have been punished by God." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't laugh or cry, what is this, so I said, "It shouldn't be like this!" ”

He shook his head and said: "Little brother, you have just entered the industry, you don't understand the importance here, and the old man is a person who has come over, and he eats more salt than you eat rice, this matter must not be easy to handle, the old man still says the same thing, don't take this matter, if your master blames it, you just push the responsibility to the old man's side." ”

I smirked, I didn't know how to answer him, so I simply sat on the side and didn't speak, so Xu Jianguo seemed to be a little anxious, and said a lot of words, roughly asking me to leave quickly.

In the end, Xu Jianguo saw that I couldn't get into the fumes, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you have to bring the old man with you in this matter, and if you encounter something, the old man can help you." ”

I didn't object, I nodded, and I agreed.

Subsequently, Xu Jianguo and I chatted at home for a while, he was talking, and I occasionally replied a few words.

Time is a thing, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and when I stayed in Xu Jianguo until noon, I felt as if centuries had passed.

However, then again, his family's Chinese food is still quite sumptuous, killing chickens and fish, and making a whole dish of pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, which made me embarrassed, and Xu Jianguo persuaded me to eat more, and gave me two taels of white wine.

During the meal, Xu Jianguo went out a few times, saying that he was watching Xu Sanxiang come back.

disappointed, even at noon, Xu Sanxiang still didn't see anyone.

After the meal, Xu Jianguo's daughter-in-law cleaned up the table, I sat with Xu Jianguo, he first handed me a cigarette, and then said: "Little brother, are you really sure you want to take this matter?" ”

I hummed and said, "It's hard to disobey the teacher's fate." ”

He sighed and said, "Okay, the old man won't say much, when I was eating before, I went out to inquire, Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao San also invited carpenters, one invited Chen Yukun, the coffin guy in the town, and the other invited Liu Ergou from Jiaokou Village." ”

Hearing this, my brows furrowed, the coffin guy and I have an old grudge, although I was scared by the third master a few days ago, but now that the third master is not here, I guess the coffin guy will make trouble for me.

As for Liu Ergou in Jiaokou Village, I have heard this name, I used to hear my senior brother say that this Liu Ergou is in his fifties, but few people know what his original name is, only know that he is called Ergouzi, even if it is now in the year of Dayan, but this name is Shunkou, and it is called down.

Although the name of this Liu Ergou is not very elegant, but his craftsmanship is exquisite, in the words of the senior brother, in addition to the master, this Liu Ergou can be said to be our leader in Nanping Town.

But, I don't know what's going on, this Liu Ergou has always been wrong with the master, I once asked the senior brother the reason, and the senior brother only replied to me with one sentence, he said, one mountain does not allow two tigers.

Seeing that I was stunned and didn't speak, Xu Jianguo asked me tentatively, "Little brother, are you afraid?" ”

I shook my head and told him the truth, "I had a holiday with that coffin guy, and that Liu Ergou master had a holiday with my master, and I was worried that the two of them would make trouble for me." ”

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm a local, and with me on the side, they don't dare to take anything from you." ”

Let's hope so!

I said something to myself, but I didn't have the heart to speak, so I took out my cigarette and smoked it.

About half an hour later, Xu Jianguo's daughter-in-law ran over and said that Xu Sanxiang was back and asked me to come over.

I didn't hesitate, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the house, and Xu Jianguo also followed.

When I met Xu Sanxiang, he was in front of Xu Sanxiang's house, he was in his early fifties, wearing gray sportswear, a pair of white sneakers, a red hat on his head, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

What I didn't expect was that there was a young man standing next to him.

That young man I know, it's the god stick I met in the climax village some time ago, the real person of the platform.

Seeing that his face sank, how could this guy be here, but it was relieved to think about it, Nanping Town is so big, it is inevitable that you will meet acquaintances.

At that moment, I was about to open my mouth to expose the real person, he seemed to have discovered my plan, and before I could open my mouth, he immediately walked over, put his arm around my shoulder, exclaimed, and said, "Oh my God, brother, why are you here, come, let's go to the side and chatter." ”

I was the most ruthless of this kind of magic stick in my life, opened his arm, and said in a deep voice: "You..." ”

Before I could finish speaking, he grabbed me and walked to the left, and as he walked, he handed me a red envelope, which I pinched, and estimated that there were hundreds.
