The Liujia brick and tile yard in the north of the village is full of dust and smoke, a large number of people are shouting by the tile kiln, and there are people running quickly on the ridges on the road. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It was noon, and most of the people had finished their work and returned home, and all of them came out, and the whole village was jumping for a while. The men all ran to the tile kiln, and the women, the old people, and the little buttocks crowded on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, stretching their necks to look at the north of the village, and no one paid attention to the blazing sun overhead, and they were talking and discussing.

Which ones are out of the kiln?

I don't know which ones, there must be someone in Secretary Liu's house.

It seems that there are also people from the brigade professional team who are helping.

Zeng Qingfu is an old potter, how could the kiln collapse?

Whoever presses it inside is out of luck! If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Bodhisattva bless, I hope there is no pressure on people......

I ignored the villagers' arguments and ran to the brickyard as fast as I could.

There was chaos on the periphery of the scene, and shouting continued. The dome of the large kiln excavated inward along the ridge has collapsed, and there is a constant dust mist rising. The two sides of the small kiln mouth are lined up with men with black ash all over their bodies, busy and panicked but very orderly, a stack of bricks and tiles that are still a little hot are passed out of the kiln, and they are quickly passed backwards, everyone is very conscious of continuing to both sides, taking the bricks and tiles from the hands of the previous one or passing them back, or putting them on the ground on both sides, in order to increase the speed, a little earlier, even if it is a second earlier to find the person who was pressed inside.

At this time, the temperature in the kiln is still relatively high, but this is not a big problem, the most troublesome and terrible thing is the dust flying in the kiln, and people will not be able to stand it for a while. Someone kept coming out of it, but immediately someone got into it silently. The people who came out were covered with dirt and dust, only their eyes and teeth could be seen, and they came out gasping for breath, bending over and coughing desperately.

The collapse of the kiln roof is not better than the collapse of the house, if the person is pressed inside, the fastest rescue method is to transfer the remaining bricks and tiles in the kiln as soon as possible, until the person who is pressed is found, do not try to dig up the kiln wall to save people, the first is that the inner wall of the kiln is built with blue brick arch, in order to ensure the airtightness, there is also a thick layer of lime three yellow mud outside, after the high temperature calcination in the kiln is very strong, you may not be able to dig it up at once. Second, after all, there is so much space in the kiln, you can't know where people are pressed. Third, the bricks and tiles in the kiln are coiled in a circle from the inside to the outside according to a certain law, and the layers of three-dimensional stacking are assembled, it has layers and directions, and there is still a fire path in the middle, which can not be disassembled casually from any place. If it is forcibly demolished, it will cause the bricks and tiles in the kiln to collapse, cause greater disasters, and bring greater difficulty to the rescue.

I wanted to go a little further, but I was violently pushed away by the adults. At this moment, the people on the field are very vulgar and frenzied, and for those of us who want to see the lively little tricks to add to the chaos, they are scolding, and the move is a slap or a foot.

I retreated to the sidelines, looking at the direction of the kiln, and felt very sad.

Now this is the second kiln. The head kiln has already been burned, and the bricks and tiles after leaving the kiln are stacked in the yard. Zeng Qingfu is worthy of being an old potter, no matter the bricks and tiles, the color of the green and bright, take it in your hand and knock it, there is a loud sound, not old or tender, and the fire color is just right.

This second kiln was originally burned and sealed for many days, and the kiln was only opened yesterday to produce bricks and tiles.

Out of the kiln is dirty and tiring work, one or two people can't do it at all, usually there are seven people, listen to them, if nothing happens, you can finish the bricks and tiles tomorrow morning, and then drink comfortably at home at night to enjoy the moon and enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival. Secretary Liu Yingguo specially went to the Sangongqiao Cake Factory to customize two catties of moon cakes, the filling inside was all peanuts, sesame seeds and brown sugar, and the people who came out of the kiln gave one each.

It's just that no one would have thought that this kiln would collapse, and Li Jiefang, who came out of the kiln and collapsed on the ground, coughed and cried, in addition to the potter Zeng Qingfu, there were also Liu Yinghua and Liu De'an father and son.

Half a month ago, when he first started to burn the first kiln, Zeng Qingfu invited the drunkard Li Chaokuan to come to the kiln to see it. At noon the next day, I listened to Mr. Lao Shu's explanation of the Book of Changes to me at his house, and the drunken maniac also came over. At that time, he couldn't stop sighing, and Mr. Lao Shu raised his eyes and asked:

"What's wrong? Alas, sighing? ”

The drunkard paused for a moment and said, "There are new ghosts in the underworld, and there is one less person in the world." I knew that something was wrong, but I couldn't stop it, and my heart was a little blocked. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small sprinkler bottle in his trouser pocket, opened it and drank two sips. Mr. Lao Shu smiled:

"When others drink water, you drink, and you use wine as water to quench your thirst, I'm afraid it's only you, so bear with it, wine is the medicine of madness, and drinking too much really hurts your body."

"Ahem, how's the injury? What if it doesn't hurt you? All men are mortal? The king will also return to the dust! You think they're all like you? Life is less than 100, but often has a thousand years of worries. Do you think you can live for a thousand years? A thousand years to live, that's a turtle......"

I couldn't help but giggle. Mr. Lao Shu shook his head with a wry smile, the old friend had suffered and had ups and downs in the first half of his life, maybe wine was his hope for survival. A person in his sixties, he himself does not spare his life, what can others do?

The drunkard took another sip and said: "If there is wine in life, you must be drunk, how can a drop ever come to Jiuquan?" How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang! The beauty of wine can be experienced by people like you who don't understand it? ”

After shaking his head and sighing, Mr. Lao Shu smiled:

"Stop talking about wine, tell me what you see again? Who's in trouble? ”

"Huh?! Zeng Qingfu: He asked me to go to the kiln last night to have a look. He felt a little flustered, afraid that something would happen to the kiln. ”

"What do you see? It can't be that there is something really going on on the kiln, right? ”

"I'm not sure if there's anything going on at the kiln, but there's a good chance that something will happen in the village. The temple is restless, I feel that there is a sense of anger in the village, I can't find the source, I don't know where the demon is making waves, if this demon is not cleared, I am afraid that several people will die this year. ”

"Is there really a ghost roasting fire? Did you see that? ”

According to folk rumors, whenever a project starts, there will be evil spirits. That's why all kinds of ceremonies are held. Burning incense with cannons is done on the one hand to expel and on the other hand to pacify. A profound warlock can see or feel it. Like the kiln, this thing is the fire is vigorous and yang, and the general evil people are afraid of the fire and dare not approach, only the kind of yang ghosts who are not dead and the yang soul is out of the body like to approach, which is called "ghost roasting fire".

"I can't see it, I can feel it." The drunkard replied,

"Is there a way to crack it?"

"I'm not an immortal, how can I crack it? What's more, people's life span is fixed, medicine and medicine do not die of disease, and Buddha is destined to be a person. Those damned people whose yang souls have left their bodies, how can we, ordinary people, be able to save them?"

"Then what kind of evil did you just say? Since it's a demon, can't it be saved if you stop it? ”

"I can't tell you, the demon is a kind of anomaly, it hooks people's lives in advance, if it can be cracked, of course it can be saved, and the yang soul is a damned person, how to save it?"

The drunkard shook his head, paused, and then turned to me on the side and said:

"Xianghong, if you encounter the situation of the yang soul leaving the body in the future, don't try to resolve it, no matter how high your spell is, unless you are skilled in creation and know the essence of magic. But it seems that such a peerless master has never appeared since ancient times...... In short, you have to remember that the operation of heaven and earth must follow the law, the balance of yin and yang cannot be broken casually, whoever breaks the balance will inevitably lead to fire, not only their own disasters, but also some of them will cause disasters to their descendants. For example, it upsets the balance and destroys the law. Even if it is rampant for a while, it will eventually destroy itself, no matter how deep it goes, it will eventually be destroyed...... We walk between heaven and earth, stand upright, do what is feasible, and save those who can be saved. And don't take the risk of being greedy to challenge the law and try to upset the balance. Did you know? ”

I looked at him and nodded my head in understanding.
