Occupy a home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The gate of the house is a large wooden door with red paint and carved flowers. On the steps in front of the large wooden gate, on the left and on the right, there are two large turtles carved in stone, which are lifelike.
When Li Ziping saw these two turtles, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although this old man does not believe in feng shui superstition, he has also invisibly entered the feng shui bureau. In ancient times, the nobles and nobles were placed at the door, and there was a stone lion, which had the implication of being a dignitary. Later, many families began to put many decorations in front of their homes, and one of them was this stone turtle. Most people believe that turtles have the meaning of "prolonging life", so placing turtles at the door carries a sense of auspiciousness. As everyone knows, in Feng Shui, the turtle is water, water can transport gold, if the turtle ornaments are placed at home, the turtle's mouth should be facing inward, not outward, the stone turtle facing outward, over the years, there is a way to transport money.
"Zhan Shangli...... Zhan Shangli ......" Zhang Taisheng knocked on the big wooden door carved with red lacquer and shouted.
"Who? It's coming, it's coming! The voice of a young man came from inside the door.
After a while, I saw a handsome man wearing a plain robe open the door.
"Brother Taisheng......" The man saw Zhang Taisheng, and his face suddenly showed joy.
Zhang Taisheng said "haha" twice, stepped forward and hugged the man.
"Come on, come on...... Do you still recognize who he is? Zhang Taisheng smiled and took Zhan Shangli to Li Ziping.
Zhan Shangli took a closer look, hesitated a little, and said, "Are you ...... Be...... Brother Ziping? ”
Li Ziping also smiled. When he was young, he came to occupy the house a few times, and since his father was old, he had never been far away, and after his father's death, Li Ziping basically stayed at home. After more than 20 years, I didn't expect that the friends I used to play with would still recognize me.
The mood of the three of them seems to have returned to their childhood in an instant.
"Brother Taisheng, Brother Ziping, why do you have time to come to our Aoki Town to play?" Zhan Shangli asked with a smile.
Zhang Taisheng said: "Your mayor asked people to call me here, so I came with Ziping by the way." ”
"Oh?" After listening to Zhan Shangli, he thought of something, and the smile on his face was slightly closed, and he hesitated.
"What? What's going on in your town? Li Ziping saw that Zhan Shangli's face was wrong, so he asked.
Zhan Shangli smiled and said, "Don't worry, go into the house first, let's talk about anything slowly." As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Taisheng and Li Ziping into the door.
The house of the Zhan family is quite large, and when you enter the door, there is a yard, and then there are a few small bungalows. Compared with the richest man in Li Ziping's village, Lao Li's family, he doesn't know how many times. The old man Zhan has been practicing medicine for many years and has a wide range of contacts, and there are many people who have been treated by him over the years, from officials and wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, even if the consultation fee is thin, it is enough to be included in the ranks of the rich families in the town.
"Dad, look who's coming." As soon as Zhan Shangli entered the house, he shouted loudly.
In the small flat building in the middle, there was the coughing sound of the old man Zhan, and when the coughing stopped, Zhan Shangli led Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng into the house.
The old man is already old, his hair and beard are white, but the whole person looks radiant.
Old Man Zhan sat on a Taishi chair, and when he saw Zhan Shangli leading Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng in, he smiled slightly.
"Dad, this is Brother Zhang Taisheng, and this is Brother Li Ziping." Zhan Shangli hurriedly said.
Old Man Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Sit, sit." ”
After Zhan Shangli beckoned Zhang Taisheng and Li Ziping to take their seats, he served tea.
Old Man Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Taisheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, let alone Li Ziping, the last time I saw you, you were only as tall as my waist, and now you are already a young man." ”
Li Ziping smiled and said, "I also thought that I hadn't seen the old man for a long time, and now that I came to Aoki Town, I came to say hello to the old man as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, what a sensible child." Old Man Zhan smiled, looked at Zhang Taisheng again, and said, "Taisheng! How do you have time to come to town? ”
Zhang Taisheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I also received an invitation from the mayor, so I came over." ”
"Oh?" When the old man Zhan heard this, he was also stunned, as if he thought of something, and he smiled on his face, but he didn't say anything.
Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng glanced at each other, and both of them had doubts in their hearts. Could it be something? Why did Old Man Zhan and Zhan Shangli hear the reason why Zhang Taisheng came to town, and their expressions were not right?
After a pause, Old Man Zhan said, "You come from afar, don't stay in any hostels or anything like that, just stay in our house!" We have extra room, I'll ask Shang Li to clean it up later. ”
Old Man Zhan is worthy of being an intellectual, although he is very repulsive to things like Zhang Taisheng and Li Ziping's Taoist life skills, but there is nothing out of place between words and deeds. Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng also spoke cautiously, and the things they discussed were also some daily life situations, and they did not talk about those mysterious things.
When the old man Zhan learned that Li Ziping's father had died, he was very emotional, a little sad, and said: "Your father is an honest man, although I disagreed with him on some matters at that time, but I know that your father is a person, and he lives like an ordinary person, with a pure heart and no ambition. ”
After saying that, Li Ziping respected this old man a lot in his heart, and he was worried that the old man Zhan would look down on him.
When Old Man Zhan was not there and only Li Ziping was left, Zhan Shangli said: "Brother Taisheng, the mayor of the town came to you, do you know what is going on?" ”
Zhang Taisheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I will go to the mayor tomorrow and I will know." ”
Zhan Shangli smiled and said, "A month ago, several strange things happened in the town. ”
Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng glanced at each other, knowing that many people in the town must have heard of this.
Zhan Shangli said: "A few people died, all in all, a little weird, there is a person named Huang Dazhuang, it is said that he saw things that should not be seen, stained with unclean things, and had a rash on his body, my father and I also diagnosed and treated that person, although it subsided a little after taking the medicine, but it has not been better." ”
"What? What the hell is going on? Zhang Taisheng saw that Zhan Shangli's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Zhan Shangli paused and said: "There are some rumors, I have also heard, although there are rumors outside, but my father does not believe these things, and the mayor of the town does not believe them at first, and then it gets bigger and bigger, so I can only send someone to find you." ”
At this time, the sun was setting outside, and Zhan Shangli took out what happened in the town with Li Ziping and Zhang Taisheng in 1510.
