Chapter Seventy-Nine: Drinking Wine
"Okay, but this bridge is older than me, how can I check?"
"Ask your parents, if they don't know, just ask the older people over there, they should know. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What about the water ghosts?" I then asked.
"Don't worry, I'll solve the water ghost." He didn't say when he would come, so he hung up the phone.
"Senior brother, what did Master say?" Li Yong asked when he saw that I hung up the phone.
"Tell us not to worry, first find out who built the bridge, let's go back first."
Walking to the intersection of Yang's house, there were more and more people in the Yang family at this time, and even on the forked road into his house, there were some people standing in twos and threes, including some elderly people, seeing this, I raised my legs and walked towards Yang's house.
"Senior brother, are you going to eat?" Li Yong asked when he saw that I suddenly changed direction and walked towards Yang's house.
As soon as I heard it, rubbed rice? That's right! It's noon today, and I'm sure I've got a stomach problem!
"Yes! Drink that wine as you like, go! ”
"This dead man's wine...... Not quite right? Li Yong looked at me and said hesitantly.
"What happened to the wine of the dead? I used to rub it a lot when I was a child! After school, I will go to rub it to see who has set up a banquet, regardless of whether he has a wedding wine or a dead man's wine, besides, we are also eating this bowl of rice, what are you afraid of? Just go! ”
Li Yong didn't say anything more when he heard me say this, he followed me towards the Yang family, and when I walked to the old men, I hurriedly took out my cigarette and handed it to the old men's mouths and asked
"Masters, do you know who built the bridge down here?"
"Young man, why are you asking this?" One of the old men looked at me with a few puffs of cigarette and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just curiosity, this bridge is still standing for so many years, it's really God." I said with a smile.
"This was thirty years ago, when I was still a handsome young man, a foreign Taoist priest passed by here, saw that we crossed the river dangerously, so he paid for us to build this small bridge, and then he did some magic on the bridge, this bridge is now good, until the first two years to build the road, no one left, this Taoist priest seems to be surnamed Wang" an old man said.
"No, I'm afraid you're mistaken, that Taoist priest's surname is Lu, I remember it very clearly," the other old man corrected.
"He planted the locust tree too?" I then asked.
"What locust tree? I don't know. ”
"Oh, nothing, thank you." After I thanked him, I walked with Li Yong to the courtyard of the Yang family.
"Senior brother, it seems that this bridge and the locust tree were not made by one person." We found a place to sit down, and Li Yong took a sip of a drink and asked.
"Didn't you say that dead man's wine should not be eaten casually? How can you grab someone else's and drink it? I asked with a smile.
"Cut, isn't that thirsty?" Li Yong immediately explained.
"I don't think it's the same person." I said. The bridge should be built in the front, and the locust tree should be planted in the back, and the person who planted the locust tree deliberately chose the position in this way, who would this person be? Why trap the water ghost here? What is the purpose?
We sat here waiting for dinner, and then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said hello to my mother yet, so I called her, and after a while, we started to have lunch, and Li Yong and I unceremoniously picked up the wine and started drinking.
After we had eaten and drunk, we each took a toothpick and hummed a little song and walked home.
"By the way, senior brother, when is Master coming?"
"I don't know, he didn't say anything, he just hung up the phone, leave him alone, since he said and handed it over to him, he has a sense of proportion."
"Apprentices, my dear master, I'm here."
The voice came out, and the two of us turned around sharply, only to see a skinny and obscene old man appear behind him, and sure enough, it was the master who came!
I didn't expect him to come so soon, he was wearing a white T-shirt today, a pair of blue ripped cropped jeans underneath, and a pair of sandals on his feet! Looking at his dress, I couldn't speak for a while, and Li Yong seemed to be thundered on the side, so he didn't speak.
"How's that, is the teacher's dress trendy enough?"
"New trend, Master, look, shall we go and see those three locust trees now?" I asked.
"Hey...... I've just traveled a long way, I'm tired, and I haven't eaten yet, yo! Someone is setting up a banquet here? Let's go for a walk and accompany the teacher to eat. After speaking, the master beckoned to us, raised his legs and walked towards the Yang family.
"Master, we've just eaten!" Li Yong said on the side.
"What's wrong with what you just eat? Come and drink with me, or I'll say you disobey your master. After speaking, he ignored us and walked straight into the courtyard of the Yang family.
In the countryside, because the venue is not large and there are many people, the second round or even the third round is generally placed, and it is just the second round to go up at this time.
There is no way, we can only rely on him, who makes us good young people who respect the old and love the young? Of course, you have to listen to what Master says, isn't it just drinking? It wasn't a difficult task, so I followed in.
"Hey, Master, shall we sit in the corner?" I saw him walk straight to a particularly conspicuous table and sit down, and hurriedly spoke to him.
"What? Are you a thief? Afraid of what? That's it. Master stroked his beard, as if he was very satisfied with the position.
"Isn't it! Let's just rub the rice, but, Li Yong and I have both eaten one round, if others see me eating a second round, where will my old face go? I leaned into his ear and whispered.
"What do you say? Louder, I can't hear it. "He started to pretend to be crazy, I was speechless, forget it, this is it, don't people say that you have enough to eat with thick skin? Afraid of what.
So I'll never forget the strange eyes of those uncles who delivered vegetables when they saw me and Li Yong eating the second round, just like looking at turtles, so I tried to think about the topic to relieve my embarrassment.
"By the way, Master, didn't you ask me to ask Liu Gang if he would like to come to work in our Taoist temple? I asked, and he said no problem. I took a sip of wine and pretended to be calm, pretending not to see the strange eyes of the food delivery uncles.
"Really? That's great, by the way, have you heard anything about the man who built the bridge? Master asked while eating?
"I asked a few old men before, and they said that this bridge has been repaired for 30 years, and a Taoist priest who passed by here kindly paid for it, as if he said that his surname was Lu."
"Huh? Last name Lu? Could it be him? Master said, his eyes rolled a few times, thought about it, and then continued, "After eating, let's go and see the bridge and the locust tree."
I nodded, I had just eaten with Li Yong, so I drank two sips of wine casually, and waited for him to finish eating, and then walked towards Yangjiaoyan.
Walking to the bridge, the master raised his hand to look at his watch for a while, then looked up left and right, and only after a while did he say: "The location of this bridge is just enough to suppress the evil spirit of this river and play the role of driving away evil spirits and shaking ghosts, but I don't know who used three locust trees to directly destroy it, but it trapped the water ghosts in the river, this person must be a person with bad intentions."
"Master, does it mean that Hashimoto is good, and the problem is only with the locust tree?" I asked.
"That's right, I don't know what this person's purpose is, but this water ghost must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"So what should we do? Do you want to go and cut down the locust tree? At this time, Li Yong also walked over and asked.
"Not now, if you cut it, won't this water ghost run directly along the river? Don't rush yet, wait until the evening. ”
I nodded, "Okay, then let's go back first." After that, we walked towards my house, and I took out my mobile phone and called my dad to tell them that my master was here.
