Chapter 8: The Ghost Master

My house is not small, the main house is four rooms, and there are four east and west wings, the yard is bigger, usually in the yard to raise chickens and ducks, at that time which family yard is not small, usually a banquet or something in the yard to set up a table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But at this time, I feel small and pitiful, the courtyard is full of people, five or six people in the kitchen are busy making food, seven or eight people are actually killing pigs in the wing, the yard is also cleaned a lot, there are more than ten tables, more than the New Year.

In the main house, Village Chief Fang, my father, Uncle Liu, Uncle Shen, and two village leaders, the gray-clothed man sat in the middle, drinking tea and knocking peanuts and melon seeds and chatting with Village Chief Fang, nodding from time to time, and shaking his head from time to time.

Qiangzi and I were lucky to sit on the small bench on the side and watch them, perhaps because of the gray-clothed man, the village chief Fang specially asked the two of us to sit in the room, which is equivalent to a leader-level meeting, and it is a status symbol to sit here with my Qiangzimei sitting there with a straight back.

"Mr. Ghost, I heard you say this because I have a master-apprentice fate with my family Tianyi that I deliberately went down the mountain to live here?"

The man in gray nodded, "That's right, this is a matter of inheritance, and it can't be fake."

My dad was overjoyed, "Tianyi, come here", his voice was a little louder, which startled me and immediately stood up.

"After recognizing a master, he didn't squeak with me, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the master."

Kowtowing to elders and teachers in our north is a common thing, representing a kind of respect, my dad glared at me after speaking, meaning not to hurry, I was just about to kneel down with this leg, and the gray-clothed man on the opposite side stood up and hid to the side.

"Scared me to death, almost killed me", the man in gray muttered while patting his chest, and everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on.

I saw the man in gray tidy up his clothes, waved his hand at me, motioned for me to sit down, and settled everyone down.

"Little pimple, you listen to me first, what are you anxious about", the man in gray almost laughed out loud when he said this, and several people in the room almost laughed.

My dad blushed and muttered, "No one ever called me that when I grew up."

It turned out that my dad's nickname was Little Pimple, and I didn't laugh out loud, but I saw Qiangzi covering his mouth with his hand and almost holding back his internal injuries.

The man in gray sat down again and straightened his body, "That, in fact, I didn't make it clear, the relationship between me and Tianyi is not wrong with master and apprentice, this is also the blood certificate only last night, but the relationship is reversed, Tianyi is my master, and I am Tianyi's apprentice."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank tea on his face, I saw that his face was a little red, and the room was quiet at this time, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at the man in gray and turn his head to look at me, I sat there at a loss, and I didn't know where to put my hands.

"No, Mr. Ghost, did I hear it wrong just now, my family Tianyi is your ......."

The man in gray put down the teacup down, "That's right, that's the case, don't ask the reason now, you don't understand it, let's talk slowly when you have time in the future, isn't that dish ready?" ”。

My dad was embarrassed to ask any more about him, and he was busy asking the kitchen people how the food was prepared, just like that, everyone cleaned up the table, ripped off the tea, and served cold dishes and hot dishes one by one.

There is wine and food at the dinner table, everyone, you have a glass and I drink a glass of people in gray, I didn't expect him to drink a lot, and I didn't see him much after drinking four or five glasses, and the strong son stained my light, I am also the master of the gray man now, and my identity is there, I opened a small table on the side, there is no wine, but the dishes are there, this big fat slices almost didn't eat me and vomit.

The meal lasted until the evening, and no one came down from the table, so he directly changed to a new table and ate the dinner, and Qiangzi and I couldn't eat anymore, so we sat in the yard and bragged to others.

"If I hadn't taken Tianyi and him into the ravine earlier, I would have walked while helping him, and then I found Uncle Dao, hey, I was tired."

I listened to Qiangzi's bragging, went up and kicked him, "You are not ashamed, when did I let you hold it, I don't know who stepped on it himself after pulling the shit, there is such a king and eight kings."

The big guy giggled when he heard it, and he also knew that Qiangzi was bragging, and the second egg sitting on the side asked me, "Brother Tianyi, I just heard you say that the ghost master in it wants to be your apprentice, is it true?" ”。

"I don't know if it's true", I remembered the red paper talisman in the earthen house, and it was a little miraculous, "but it shouldn't be fake, and the strong son also saw it that night."

Hadron turned his head to look at me, "Why can't I remember what you said at all, what red paper symbol?" It floated up and burned by itself, how could there be such a god."

I patted him on the head, "Did you eat too much pig's head meat, your memory is so bad, you forgot that you kept muttering about how people are gods before going to bed."

Hadron was patted by me and rubbed his head, "Why can't I remember it at all, is there really such a thing?" ”。

I didn't bother to talk to him, and I chatted with my partners without a word.

It wasn't until almost ten o'clock in the evening that the people in the courtyard were almost gone, and there were only Village Chief Fang in the house, my dad and Uncle Liu, and Uncle Shen said that they wouldn't leave anything, but they wanted to know if something had really happened in his house recently, and the incident of frying the incense burner made him really scared.

The hut where Qiangzi and I were in was only separated from the main house by a wall, and this was usually where I slept, and our ears were attached to the wall, and Qiangzi and I could hear what they were saying more clearly.

Xiao Liu's departure is a fateful thing, as the saying goes, the king of Hades wants you to die three watches, no one can stay five watches, I watched him grow up since childhood, I came to see him before leaving, and I also showed him the way by the way.

The room was quiet for a while, and I asked Qiangzi, "Who is Xiao Liu?" ”。

Qiangzi thought for a moment, "Could it be that my grandfather is being me?" ”。

At this time, someone in the house spoke: "My dad was fine before leaving, and he didn't suffer any crimes, but he left before he ...... old man's happiness", speaking of which I heard Uncle Liu crying.

"Didn't I tell you that day, there are some things that can't be forced, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, just look at it."

There was silence in the room for a while, "Mr. Ghost, what do you say is going on in my house?" This is Uncle Shen speaking.

"It's okay, I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look, don't be afraid."

"That ghost gentleman, I want to ask you something, I don't know if I can say it", this is my father's voice.

I heard silence in the room for a while, "I can ask anything I can say."

"Actually, that's what a few of us mean," my dad said, "Who are you?" Why are you with us? It seems that every time you appear, someone will die, and also, why is it a master-apprentice relationship with my son, and my son is still your mentor......", the latter words were not said, but I could hear what they meant.

I heard the man in gray sigh, "Who am I?" Don't you all know it, don't you always call me Ghost Master, and this title has been passed down for hundreds of years, I'm used to hearing it, in fact, I also have a name, but few people know, my name is Dao Quanzi, as for why I'm here, it's interesting, because this is my home."

"We know that you are a ghost master, but we don't know what this means, you said that this is your home, why did you rarely see you before?".

"Hehe, I don't know what the ghost master represents, it's just a title, of course, some people call me a ghost, the nature of my work is similar to that of a ghost, that's why people will see me where there are dead people, of course, not all dead people I will care."

Ghost Kui, I sounded much more domineering than the ghost master, and then I heard my father in the house talking, "What's the matter with you and my son?" ”。

"It's a long story, okay, I've told you everything you should know, and you'd better not ask what you shouldn't know, not because I'm afraid you know, but because I'm afraid I'll scare you."

There was a stumble in the house, it should be the village chief and they were leaving, and Qiangzi and I were just about to leave, when Uncle Liu asked again, "Is there really a ghost in the world?" ”。

Dao Quanzi smiled and looked at Uncle Liu, "If you say there is, if you say there is not, there are some things that you believe in, and if you don't believe in it, there are too many nothingness in the world, and how many people in the world know, living a good life in front of you is called wonderful, and living a chic life like a different world after death."

After listening to it, I seemed to have a new understanding of the world, and Qiangzi muttered: "What is wonderful? What is the change of world after death? Could it be that it is also chic to be reincarnated as a pig in the next life".
