The atmosphere in the living room is very harmonious.

Except for the insults of Uncle Zhao and Brother Zhao and Zhou Yan, except for the standard Longshan swear words of the Gu people, the atmosphere is still very harmonious, at least they didn't use the knife

"Put it away, don't worry, talk about it." I grabbed Zhou Yan, who was running to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, pressed him on the sofa, and glared at him: "How do you look like a child!" ”

Zhou Yan looked at me angrily, turned his head and stopped talking.

"Uncle Chen, let's call you that for the time being, why are you giving Aunt Zhao a trick, don't you mind telling us about it?" I sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette and smoked it, thought about it, and politely handed Chen San a cigarette.

"Thank you." Chen San scratched the itch with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to take the cigarette, lit it, and then smoked fiercely, shaking his head: "I was called by someone to play Gu." ”

According to Chen San, the person who asked her to come to Gu was none other than Zhang Lihong, who had a conflict with Aunt Zhao a few days ago.

In the version that Chen San heard, this story is like this.

"That woman is bitter and mean, last time because of a little contradiction, she called an outsider to harm my son, Master, please help!" That's what Zhang Lihong said to Chen San.

As for how the two of them met, there is a theory.

Four years ago.

At that time, Chen San happened to encounter a trouble, a very tricky trouble, which can be regarded as a job.

Chen San's luck is really bad, after solving that incident, he almost died in the barren mountains and wilderness, if the passer-by hadn't rescued him and sent him to the hospital, I'm afraid that Chen San, who is sitting in front of us now, would have become a pile of ashes.

The person who saved him was none other than Zhang Lihong.

"Zhang Lihong is actually a good person, and she can take me to the hospital in the barren mountains and wilderness, which is enough." Chen San smiled: "She is traveling wildly with her man and son, who knows that she met me halfway, this person still has a good heart." ”

We didn't speak, we just listened quietly.

"Anyway, she has a life-saving grace for me, so I came to play Gu, and I didn't ask more." Chen San said very calmly.

"Do you usually give Gu to others?" I frowned, thinking about the scene when he came to Uncle Zhao's house to show off his martial arts before, and suddenly felt that that demeanor was a little inconsistent with what he was saying now.

Chen San nodded: "Solve the Gu, get the Gu, do it, don't hurt people casually, don't guess." ”

"Then you're ahead"

I was interrupted by him in the middle of my sentence, only to see Chen San smile: "If you don't pretend to be strong, who can be afraid of me?" ”

"Didn't your old man tell you about the rules of the business?" Chen San looked at me and asked, I was silent for a while, carefully recalled what the old man had said to me in the past, and was speechless.

Warlocks, after the sixties, were either admired or feared.

Whether it is good or evil, take these two paths, if you want to make money, you must choose one of them, unless you have other jobs to support yourself, otherwise, it is better to go with the reality.

The old man chose the former, and everyone knows Yi Daxi God in the southwest realm, which is his ability.

Chen San chose the latter.

"My Gu may not be cured of people's diseases, and the hospital is the big one." Chen San didn't have a little embarrassment on his face, and said naturally: "It's not my business to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, I can clean up a beast at most, I can't do feng shui physiognomy, I want to make a living, but there is no way to go, I have no choice but to get to this point." ”

I don't know what the Tao is for, but the signs of human progress seem to be not only the progress of science and technology, but also the progress of people's "thoughts".

In the 60s, most people were still worried about eating and drinking, and they didn't have so much mind to harm others.

In the seventies, having eaten enough, began to evolve.

In the 80s, people were gathering momentum and ready to go.

In the nineties, two thousand years, and now, there seems to be less harmony between people.

It can be seen from the incident of Mrs. Xu in Nanjing at the beginning of the year that sometimes people's hearts are still very bad, and no one can deny this.

It's just that some people have a conscience, so they can't be bad, and some people don't, so they can be bad.

People who are bad often love to harm others, for example, to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and who has a little conflict with them, they love to dirty their hands behind their backs, this kind of thing is too much.

Regardless, the good guys are still in the majority.

Although there are not many people with bad intentions, there are still some of them, because of this, Chen San's business has always been good, although his life has also been discounted a lot, but in his opinion, this is better than starving to death.

"Your old man saved my life, and I never dare to forget it." Chen San said.

"How did he save you?" I asked in confusion, it stands to reason that Chen San's ability is not small, even if he is poor, he will not be so poor that he will be cornered, even if he is harming people, he can make a lot of extra money, right?

Chen San sighed: "At that time, I just happened to encounter something, and I had a few hundred yuan on me, and I was going to find a chance to earn some extra money to live, but who would have thought that God forced me to force me too hard, and I suddenly had a stomachache when I walked on the street, and I forced myself to go to the hospital, and I found that my money was enough to register and check." ”

"I hurt half to death, and the hospital didn't give me a preferential service, so I said that I would call my relatives to pay the money, and I don't have any relatives, isn't it embarrassing for people, and it is really more difficult to see a doctor without paying money than to relieve people." Chen San's smile was full of helplessness, and he shook his head: "I have to have a face, it's impossible to lie in the hospital without face, so I'll go back to the street to find a bench to lie down and rest, and then I'll meet your old man." ”

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something when I went back to Xiangxi three years ago.

At that time, the old man was still alive, it was winter, and we only stayed in Xiangxi for four or five days, but it was such a short time, it is said that the old man spent 4,000 yuan inexplicably

"It was winter at that time, it was very cold, and your old man should have come out for a walk, and it was a coincidence that your old man saw me." Chen San's eyes were full of gratitude: "Send me to the hospital without saying a word, if it weren't for him, I would probably have frozen to death on the street." ”

I lit a cigarette and smoked, frowning, "He knows you?" ”

"I don't know, but I know him." Chen San shook his head: "I once saw it at the house of a head of the household, but I'm afraid your old man forgot about it." ”

"Four thousand, I spent more than three thousand on hospitalization or something, and I went to buy some food for the rest, and then went home to rest." Chen San kept scratching the rash on his skin, grinning and said, "It's ironic, I have a house, but I don't have money to see a doctor, and I don't have any money in my passbook, which is really funny." ”

"Why don't you borrow some money from a friend?" I asked, Chen San smiled: "Where did I come from, I don't usually like to deal with people, I have a friend." ”

To be honest, I really don't understand whether Chen San is a good person or a bad person now.

Listening to his experience is indeed quite something, I can't say it, I can't say it, I can only say that I am helpless, maybe it is also a helpless choice to embark on this road.

At first, I was quite uncomfortable with him, after all, casually hurting Aunt Zhao is really unpleasant, but

From his point of view, is this man at fault?

Yes, but his choice is indeed a normal person's choice, his benefactor came to him for help, and the benefactor said that his family was harmed by others, so he wanted to take revenge, would he not help her?

"I'm wrong about this, and I apologize to everyone." Chen San stood up again and apologized to us.

"Why are you coming to ask for money?" I still couldn't help but ask.

Chen San was stunned and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not greedy, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to make a fortune?" What's more, you are my benefactor's enemies, and I will definitely kill you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen San unexpectedly took out his wallet from his pocket, took out all the red tickets inside, a thick stack, about five or six thousand, and handed it to Uncle Zhao: "This is my fault, this money should be a little heart." ”

Uncle Zhao didn't answer.

"So be it." I thought about it and came up with an idea that both parties might be satisfied with: "We won't accept the money, you go back and give Zhang Lihong a Gu." ”

Hearing this, Chen San's face became ugly, full of contradictions.

"Don't die, the kind that doesn't leave injuries, it's just making people uncomfortable for a day or two." I said this, thought about it again, and said intermittently: "After the Gu is finished, you will disappear for two days, they can't find you to solve the Gu, you won't be embarrassed, and after two days, give them a chance to find you, after solving the Gu, everyone will be happy." ”

Chen San was silent for a long time, and then nodded.

"It's over, Uncle Zhao." I turned my head and smiled, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, this is the truth I realized from college, unless you can beat your rival to death with a stick, otherwise you will have to be beaten sooner or later.

Uncle Zhao looked at me while smoking, but he still didn't speak, but the speed of smoking became faster.

After half a ring, he spit out the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

"Okay, but I'll go and see, I want to see her fall into the Gu, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath."

Chen San nodded again: "I'll do this tonight, go first, and you can go to see it tomorrow." ”

"Uncle Chen, take it." I took out a small plastic bag from my pocket, and it contained nothing else, it was the paper ashes burned by the rune paper, and if I wanted to solve the shock talisman, I could only rely on this.

"The old man didn't come to Longshan?" Chen San took the thing and suddenly asked, smiling: "I still want to have a drink with him, I didn't drink well in the hospital that time, and I have to drink again." ”

"Didn't come," I smiled awkwardly.

Old man, you are awesome enough, when you have an appendicitis attack, you drink with someone in the hospital, are you really not afraid of killing people?

"You take this money, it's interest, I'll send you the money tomorrow."

With that, Chen San put the money in front of me, walked to the door, twisted the doorknob, left a sentence to wait for me, turned around and walked out of the door, and did not look back.

Just as I was about to get up to pay Chen San back, my phone suddenly rang.

After connecting, Zhang Liguo's voice came from the other end.

"Hello? Xiao Yi? When will you go back to Guiyang? I've got you in a hurry! ”

"What's wrong, Uncle Zhang?" I asked, confused.

"It's a bit of a hassle, I caught a "prisoner", it's a tricky thing, I'll talk about it when you come back. ”
