The Kong family invited Mr. to come back again, killing pigs and sheep early in the morning, steaming steamed buns to make hair cakes, and being busy with it.

A few opera troupes were invited from the county, and the Confucian family compound set up a stage to hang red, and invited guests from door to door, saying that it was not done last time, and this time it was made up.

There are a lot of people who come to see the excitement, the troupe sings "Zhong Kui Hunts Ghosts", Zhong Kui on the stage is a typical flower ingot, with a red in the middle, plus messy white and black, which looks hideous.

The people in the audience watched a lively, a person with a black scarf wrapped in his head in the corner of the stage has been quietly closing his eyes and recuperating, from morning to noon has not moved, listening to the people of the host, this big play has to be sung until midnight, and the three troupes sing this play together, and there is no stop in the middle.

Hongcun has not been so lively for many years, everyone in front of the red envelopes have come out, but the affairs of the Kong family have not been done, today is considered a treat by Boss Kong, and the villagers are naturally here.

There is good wine and good food on the table, the big guy pushes the cup and changes the lamp, and Boss Kong's toast from table to table is not.

After five flavors of this dish and three rounds of wine, Boss Kong stood in the middle and began to speak: "Fellow villagers, my Boss Kong has neglected you last time, and today's preparation of wine and singing is to invite the big guys to come and have fun." ”

There was a little applause from the audience, everyone knows that there is no free lunch in the world, how can you Kong Boss Kong be a person who is better than a monkey to do a loss-making business, just waiting for him to have some fart to let go.

Sure enough, the old boy drank a glass of wine and said: "During the day, everyone will watch the play and eat wine, the play will not stop, the wine will not stop, today we are holding a flowing water banquet, in the evening, a notice will be posted in a while, please go home early to rest." What is left, our boss Kong begs someone to do more favors, not in vain, one big weight nine plus two bottles of Du Kang per person. ”

After speaking, he clenched his fists and shook around the field, looking like a nouveau riche who slammed the door.

Someone in the audience coaxed: "Be a sass, you boss Kong has something to say hello, why are you so polite, in the future, other families will have to do things at this level, and they will not all be poor." ”

"Poor hospitality, poor hospitality."

Boss Kong continued to behave, then cleared his throat and continued: "My ancestral tomb is in disrepair, and I wanted to ask the big guys to help me pick it up last time, but it happened that something trivial happened to delay it. Today, I invited my husband, and my husband did the math, saying that my old man was thin-faced and so lively, so I wanted to invite the big guys to go together to help make up the popularity, so that his old man could get up and sleep steadily......"

As soon as he said hello, his mother-in-law sent a piece of paper, and Boss Kong read according to the paper: "After dinner, the following people can be avoided: all women can be avoided, men under the age of 16 dolls should be avoided, cows, dragons, sheep, and dogs should be avoided, those who have a funeral at home within two years should be avoided, and those who are over forty-five years old should be avoided." ”

As soon as this condition was said, the audience suddenly became lively, you look at me, I look at you, a table is thinking about who meets the requirements, who does not meet the sleep, a little rough statistics, you have to remove three-quarters, and the rest are basically young adults.

But the father and son of the old Xia family are all in line, Xia Lao Liu doesn't want to join in the fun, and Comrade Qiu Shi is even more interested, but the boss Kong still came up and immediately took Xia Lao Liu's hand and said: "The sixth master is righteous and fair." ”

After that, he also specially raised his arm, which was still wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and he said with a flushed face: "Last time, the sixth master taught me, the lesson is right, I am the boss of Kong, in our Hongcun, I will also serve the sixth master......"

This is a high hat, Xia Lao Liu knows that he can't go, you cut people and your family doesn't see you and brag about you, Xia Lao Liu can only sigh and swallow in his stomach when he looks at his gloomy son.

I could only get up and hug my fists and said: "Whoever we can help at night, let's help, it's not easy for Boss Kong, if you want to be a filial son and grandson, we Hongcun people have to express it." ”

In this way, until the evening, the big guys were still happy in their hearts...... At seven o'clock, except for a few helpers who were still finishing the work in the courtyard, most of the rest of the people were waiting.

The white linen filial piety cloth of the Kong family is tied with a straw rope around his waist, and the leading Kong boss is holding a portrait in his hand.

The troupe was not idle, blowing, playing, singing, knocking and beating, and the leading Zhong Kui danced and sang at the same time, running around the yard with a whining la, and kept stomping his feet in several directions from east, west, north and south.

A few naughty boys were still hiding in the corner and peeking, and they were pulled out by their families with their ears twisted, scolding while pulling: "You are a loser, you dare to look at anything, is that Zhong Kui catching ghosts?" Ghost hunting! ”

While pulling and fighting, the child's crying, gongs and drums, and singing were intertwined.

At nine o'clock, the black-headed man who had closed his eyes all day on the stage began to get up, this person is a hundred thousand miles, and I don't know if he has been sitting for too long or has not eaten for a day, and when he stood up, he almost fell down without standing firmly, this guy can make everyone laugh.

Boss Kong hurriedly stepped forward, but the hundred miles took out a whip, which had to be more than a foot long, and the whole body was golden, and he partly waved it over as he said.

"Smack"

Come on, it's a strong draw, so that Boss Kong suddenly screamed, just wanted to ask, and a whip waved over on the other side, and immediately shouted: "The Jade Emperor has an edict, the divine whip is in all directions, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, thunder and rain, the divine whip is lightly beaten, the thunderbolt is light, and the lightning is as urgent as the law, edict!" ”

"Smack"

Again, the hemp clothes on Boss Kong's chest suddenly opened, and it was estimated that the skin and flesh inside were also greatly injured, and the pain was so painful that he grinned and grabbed his snot and tears.

He couldn't help but shout at all, stepped forward and grabbed Boss Kong and pressed him to the ground, raised his left foot and stomped him to the ground and shouted: "The body is affected by the parents, the father is in trouble to be the son, thirty-six wounds, the way hurts people, are you ready?" ”

The boss raised half his head and looked at the hundred thousand miles with a wail, and said with a pitiful look: "Sir, which one are we singing, I didn't hear you beat me like this beforehand......"

"Smack"

It was pulled off with another whip, which made the people in the audience dare not speak, and the people on the stage opened their mouths like ghosts crying.

This kind of posture has never been seen in the northwest of Zhejiang, and most of the folk funerals here are just going through the motions, or they are mainly based on spell formations, and where there is one, the master's family will be beaten half to death.

That's because the people here don't know that the hundred thousand miles belong to the Lushan faction, and this faction does things with one word "ruthless"

！

In the Lushan faction, this is called "pulling out wounds"

What do you mean?

They believe that after death, there will be "heavenly wounds" in the underworld

, "Ground Wounds"

, "Water Injury"

, "Burns"

, "Knife Wound"

, "Hanging Injury"

, "Fall"

and so on the so-called "thirty-six wounded doors"

To be punished, just like we can say that we can pull out the tongue in the oil pot, it is all torture in hell, and some sins in the previous life must be washed away through these punishments.

Only after "pulling out"

, so that the deceased will not be subjected to all kinds of "wounds" in the underworld

The best way to pull out the wound is to provoke the eldest son to suffer on his behalf.

Boss Kong can be said to be catching ducks on the shelves now, and he can't get off the stage.

This person was invited by himself, and he didn't explain it in advance, and he was smoked half to death for some reason.

At this time, you shout stop, it is estimated that in this life, he Boss Kong doesn't want to raise his head, he has to be laughed at to death, don't shout stop, he doesn't know how many whips he can withstand...... "You're ready!" ”

The hundred thousand miles of heavy foot stepped down again, and pressed the face directly to the table for the boss Kong, the guy was crying bitterly in his heart, even if he was beaten to death at this time, he had to cooperate with the trick to act, so he had to stretch out his hand and gesture: "Dad, I am not filial, I have caused you to suffer, and my son has come to suffer for you!" ”

After speaking, he had closed his eyes and was ready to be beaten again, but the hundred miles stopped, gently pulled up the guy and said, "The wounded door has been opened, and the heir is in place......"

As everyone knows, this big drama has just begun to pull up...... Besides, such a big drama in Hong Village still provoked a lot of people to come to watch, although Baiqian posted a notice, which people need to be avoided, but as soon as they heard that Boss Kong was beaten like that, who didn't have to follow to see the excitement?

It's never a big deal to see the excitement, not only from Hong Village, but even from several villages next door, and people have come to the yard, and the yard has long been unable to stand, and those who have no place to climb the wall, and then they are more powerful, and they simply go up the tree, and the scene is really called: friends under the mountain, friends on the tree, how are you...... This excitement also spread to Wulipu, Cha Wenbin was bored at home, staring at the wall in a daze all day long, Ye Qiu was no better, but the fat man couldn't stay and wandered around.

After receiving the news that there was a big drama in Hongcun, the fat man rushed home in a hurry, and he was about to go with Cha Wenbin.

"Let's go, go to Hongcun, I heard that a Taoist priest is so good, let's go and have a look."

Cha Wenbin loves to be lively, he has never been enthusiastic about this kind of thing, but that day, Ye Qiu unusually expressed his support for the fat man's idea, and also proposed: "In the past two days, I always feel that something is going to happen." ”

What the fat man is most afraid of is Ye Qiu, he seems to have a natural ability to predict, "What's the matter, don't be foolish, I haven't heard good words from your mouth." ”

Ye Qiu didn't pay attention to him, but just said to Cha Wenbin: "Go and see him, I think he may not be very good." ”

"You mean Xiao Yi?"

Cha Wenbin blurted out, but he immediately changed his words: "Oh Qiushi, then go and see." ”

"You're really awkward, what Qiushi, called Xiao Yi,, it's obvious that a person has to have such a broken name, not to confuse us."

Cha Wenbin was speechless, he knew that it was difficult for him to explain to the fat man, but if Xiao Yi really had something, then he would still be the first to go up after all.

Ye Qiu's words had already caused a small ripple in his heart, and that uneasy emotion suddenly came to his heart, could he really have something to do?
