Chapter 22: The Carpenter's Skills
87_87164When Yan Beixun said this, my dad happened to come out of the house, and he was holding a hoe, as if he was going out to do farm work.
"Lao Feng, let me introduce you, this is a friend I know, called Yan Beixun." I yelled at my dad.
My dad saw a smile on my face and said, "Nothing happened to Mr. Wang yesterday, right?" ”
"I slept in his room, and came back at dawn, what could happen." I said.
If you encounter something like a ghost, it's better not to tell my dad, so as not to worry him.
"It's okay." My dad nodded.
Yan Beixun said: "Uncle Zhang, right? You've been in this house for some years. ”
"This is the house that my father and second uncle built after earning money." My dad nodded: "I'll go out first, and then I'll buy vegetables and come back to cook, you can just play at home." ”
With that, he walked out.
After my dad left, I asked, "Uncle, is there a big problem in my house?" ”
"It's not big, but it's small, it's not small, take me around your house to have a look." Yan Beixun said.
Then I led Yan Beixun around the courtyard of my house, and then went outside to take a look.
When I took him around, I told him what happened when I was born.
He listened and nodded, not gnawing.
When he walked to the back door of my house, Yan Beixun patted his thigh and said, "The problem is here." ”
When I looked, there was nothing wrong with it, there was a stone road at the back door of my house that headed to the left and right.
Yan Beixun said: "The door is higher than the hall, the descendants are unique, the door is higher than the wall, and the family cries more." ”
"At the beginning, the problem of your family was at the front door, but I just looked at it, although the feng shui of your house is wrong, there is no problem with the front door, and Old Man Wang should have asked your family to repair the front door at that time." Yan Beixun frowned slightly and said, "But you guys didn't see the problem of the back door, Old Man Wang. ”
"Lu Ban said: There is a road that is like an iron fork, and the father and son are not at home. Not to mention that he is clumsy and clumsy, and it is inevitable that he will pawn the countryside. Yan Beixun looked at me and said, "If I guess correctly, the relationship between your grandfather and your second grandfather is not harmonious, right?" ”
"I don't know." I shook my head, my second grandfather and his family only had relatives during the Chinese New Year, but there were not many people who came and went.
Yan Beixun said: "The stone paved road at the back door of yours looks like an iron fork, which means to make your family discordant. ”
"Is there really such an evil sect?" I was curious and said, "It's just an ordinary road?" Can it really make the relationship between the people in our family bad? ”
"Let your father find someone to dig up these slates, and then cover the slate floor with a layer of lime, and kill a rooster at the back door, and you will solve the problem." Yan Beixun said: "Although I don't often do this kind of feng shui thing, I have some contact. ”
Hearing this, I became curious: "Hey, uncle, who do you say wants to harm our family?" ”
"Heh, needless to say, it must be the carpenter who helped you build the house in the first place." Yan Beixun said: "Don't underestimate carpenters, although these carpenters can only build houses on weekdays, they are also very ruthless when they harm people." ”
Generally speaking, if there are craftsmen in the family to work at home, they must leave one person to watch, nominally to pour water for these craftsmen and do chores, but in fact to prevent these craftsmen from "making mistakes" in their craftsmanship without the master's knowledge.
For example, a stonemason, when helping the family build stone steps, may bury something in the stone steps, or a carpenter, when he goes up the beam or down the bottom pillar, he will buckle something inside.
Then Yan Beixun told me an allusion.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a landlord who was very harsh for the rich, and one day, he wanted to renovate his old house, and hired four carpenters, but when the construction site was not completed, his wages were deducted.
So one of the carpenters went to the cemetery and fastened four of the wooden nails that had been used to nail the coffin, and then nailed them to the beams of the landlord's bedroom.
Within half a year, the landlord suffered from a strange disease, and the whole body began to grow moss, and then the landlord invited a Mr. Yin and Yang, Mr. Yin and Yang saw that the problem was the wooden nails on the beams, but the Mr. Yin and Yang did not take it, but said to the landlord: "The bell must be tied to the bell." ”
In the end, the landlord found the four carpenters at that time, set up wine and confessed his mistake, and finally the carpenter accepted the four wooden nails for the coffin.
Hearing this, I asked Yan Bei curiously: "Why didn't Mr. Yin and Yang directly take the wooden nails?" ”
Yan Beixun said disdainfully: "Those Mr. Yin and Yang keep a bunch of rules all day long, just like the incident I just said, that Mr. Yin and Yang probably thinks that this wooden nail is used by others to punish people, and he took the wooden nail out of order." ”
After hearing this, I was also a little scared, so I quickly took out my mobile phone and called my dad to ask him to come home.
Yan Beixun said it so mysteriously, if I didn't lift this road, I guess I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
We went back to the hall of the house, and I told my dad about the road behind the house.
When my father heard this, he was also very anxious, and he immediately went out to gather the people in the village and set off the road.
Then it was sprinkled with lime on the road.
I was busy for a full hour.
I was also tired enough, but Yan Beixun didn't help with the work, and kept standing by the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
When things were done, my dad handed out cigarettes to the neighbors in the village.
After returning to the hall at home, my dad smiled and handed Yan Beixun a cigarette over: "Xiaoyan, thank you for this today." ”
Yan Beixun took the cigarette and said, "Uncle Zhang, there is something that should have been sued to you from the beginning, I had already accepted Ah Xiu as a junior disciple on behalf of the master before, so I thought that during his vacation, follow me back to Chongqing, so that I can teach him some skills." ”
"This." My dad listened to Yan Beixun's words and looked a little hesitant.
I didn't expect Yan Beixun to tell my dad about this, but Yan Beixun was obviously very resolute, he said: "Uncle Zhang, Ah Xiu's eyes are not ordinary people's eyes, if you don't follow me to learn art, you will encounter some unimaginable dangers in the future." ”
"I understand." My dad nodded, sighed and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as Ah Xiu is willing, I'll let him learn from you." ”
"Dad." I was overjoyed, I originally thought that if I sued him about this, he would object, after all, who would want their children to learn to catch ghosts?
"Actually, a few years ago, someone approached me and said that he wanted to take you away and learn art." My dad was shocked, he looked at me and said, "But I can't bear you, but you are so old now, if you don't learn something, it will be difficult for you to wait for you to graduate from school, and you can't farm at home with me." ”
"Let's rest at home today, and I'll leave tomorrow, so I can pack your clothes." My dad sighed again and turned to his bedroom.
I looked at Yan Beixun next to me and asked strangely, "Why do you suddenly want to take me away and learn things from you?" ”。
