Xianyun Ridge, the only way to go to the county seat from our town, a provincial road passes from this end of the ridge to that end, and there are more than ten small families at the foot of the ridge.

Cha Wenbin and they didn't take long to find the approximate location of Huang Chenggong, in the middle of the night, they didn't expect that the house was brightly lit, and the laughter of men and women came from time to time in the yard.

Listen carefully, it turns out that this wave of people is playing mahjong together.

At that time, mahjong was only raised in our town, visiting relatives and friends in the first month, there was no entertainment in the countryside, except for getting together to gamble that was still gambling, but it was a gambling equipment to change some tricks.

It's not easy for this person to rush in recklessly, Cha Wenbin means either wait for them to leave.

The fat man said that this kind of gambling was very common until dawn, and if he waited outside all night on a snowy night, it would be better to kill him.

Just as he was discussing, suddenly the door opened, and a guy full of alcohol took out the thing in his trouser pocket and drew a map outside the yard, the fat man gave Ye Qiu a look, and the latter covered his mouth and dragged him aside without waiting for the man to finish urinating.

The fat man took out the bright dagger and rubbed it back and forth on the man's face and whispered: "Don't make a sound, whatever I say is what, I remember the way you look like the damn, we are here to seek revenge today, let me ask you, is Huang Chenggong in it?" ”

The man nodded vigorously with his mouth covered, and the fat man said again: "Damn, you call him out for Lao Tzu, he owes Lao Tzu money outside." As long as you call him out, it's nothing for you, if you dare to move the intestines, Lao Tzu will cut the thing under you. ”

Ye Qiu let go of the man's mouth, and the man hurriedly waved towards them: "Everyone, I am a card partner, you are waiting here, I will find a reason to find him." ”

When the man entered, the fat man said with a relaxed face: "I have to be so ruthless to deal with this kind of person, and I can be caught without much effort." ”

Cha Wenbin said that you don't have to get scared, be careful that people really report to the official tomorrow, and they are cracking down hard at this time, and people like you are called hooliganism.

The fat man stuck out his tongue and said: "Ye is a hooligan, what's wrong with the hooligan, I am fighting some bandits and bullies who are more hooligans than me, let's call it eliminating harm for the people." ”

The three of them squatted in the corner of the wall and covered their hands in the padded jackets, it was really cold that day, they kept stepping on the spot, the fat man smoked about three cigarettes, the goods had not come out yet, and the sound of mahjong in the house continued.

After two more cigarettes, the fat man was a little anxious, and pressed the cigarette butt into the snow and said, "Damn, rush in, forget it, just say that the police are arresting gambling, and none of them can fucking escape." ”

Cha Wenbin saw that the time was not short, and the three of them would do it together, the fat man kicked in according to the door, the brazier in the hall was burning, and a few people playing cards on the table looked at these uninvited guests.

The fat man shouted: "The police caught the gamble, and the fucking Lao Tzu squatted down with his hands on his head!" ”

Not to mention, his trick really worked, those people dared to resist because they had ghosts in their hearts, and they all squatted on the ground honestly.

The fat man asked angrily: "Which of you is called Huang Chenggong, who received a report that he opened a casino here, hand him over, and the others can clean up and get out of the house first, and I won't embarrass you for the New Year." ”

One of the little old men slowly raised his hand and said, "Report to the organization, Huang Chenggong has left, he said he went out to sober up......"

"What? Let's go! ”

Only then did they know that the person caught at the door just now was Huang Chenggong, and the prey in his hand was actually let go by himself, and it had been more than half an hour since the black light was blind, where did you go to chase it, and the person had already slipped away.

When they returned home, Cha Wenbin and they were already in the middle of the night, and the person was sleepy, so Concubine Yu made a bowl of ginger tea for one person to warm the stomach and go to sleep.

The tossing and turning for two consecutive nights was not light, but this matter was destined to not let them have a stop year.

No, someone knocked on the door early in the morning, it was a young man, don't think that someone came to pay respects, the person who came came to report the funeral.

"What, passed away!"

Cha Wenbin sat low by the charcoal fire with his cotton jacket together, it didn't make sense, he obviously gave him the talisman, why did the old man Liu pass away today.

The young man who came was also from the Liu family, the girl's brother, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he said: "He didn't get up for breakfast at six o'clock this morning, so my little sister went to call him, and found that the person was still warm and no longer angry." ”

Saying that, the guy handed a letter to Cha Wenbin and said, "This is what my grandfather put at the head of the bed, indicating that it was left for you, so I won't bother." ”

Cha Wenbin opened the envelope, and said that he knew that he was no longer good, and there was a reluctant request to ask Cha Wenbin, he had been dealing with gods and ghosts in making and selling incense all his life, and he wanted to ask Cha Wenbin to give him a little more time, so as not to pester him with those things and ask him for incense.

The letter also said that in the past, the Liu family had to invite Mr. when they died, but now there are fewer and fewer Taoist priests, and he can't believe the big dramas outside, so he pointed to whether Cha Wenbin could give him a ride on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

After reading the letter, he hurriedly asked the fat man to call the young man back, and after reading the letter with him, he said that he would go today, and the young man also knew the rules, saying that it was only the second day of the first month, how could he trouble people to do white things.

Cha Wenbin said that since it was a will, he went to his wish, and asked the relatives of the Liu family and who needed to be invited.

That young man, since the Cultural Revolution, everyone has said that the Liu family is full of ghosts, and no one dares to come now, and there has been no acquaintance to step on the door of the Liu family for more than ten years.

Since there is no need to invite someone, it would be better, saying that he turned out a few large pieces of white paper at home, grinded and wrote a few notices, and the notice said that the old lady of the Liu family had passed away, because the ladder was special and did not send obituaries, if there was anyone willing to come, he would help.

He wrote seven or eight sheets in total, and asked the fat man to post them in conspicuous places all over the town for a while, and he hurriedly cleaned up and followed the young man to Liu's house.

When she arrived at Liu's house, the girl was already crying and fainting on the ground, and when she asked, she realized that the talisman she gave was thrown off as garbage.

Cha Wenbin also smiled bitterly, this is probably the will of heaven, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and you will never stay until the fifth watch.

According to the rules, the person who died before the seventh day of the first month should be covered with a quilt and put on the bed, as if the deceased was sleeping.

The children are not allowed to make a noise, and the house is not allowed to hang white signs, and they must wait until the fifth day of the new year to move first at home, and wait until the seventh day of the new year to mourn.

However, Cha Wenbin said that this rule is set by people, and it is also broken by people, and it will not be able to be sent after the first three days, and the Yin Division will not recognize the rules of your yang world.

This Taoist priest is here, what else does the Liu family say?

Cha Wenbin said that 99 years old is a long life, and this funeral is also a happy funeral, and if it is to be done, it must be done lively.

The Liu family also went out, and spent several times more than usual to go out and invite a troupe, which can make the ghost grind, and they also let out the rumor that the Liu family will not take a penny as long as the people who come to this white matter.

And the fat man went to the town early to preach everywhere, this kind of longevity is a blessing, as long as you eat this bowl of tofu rice, the child will become smart and can be admitted to university, the man is in good health, and the elderly can be swept away by the haze, and they can be stained with longevity.

In this way, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were really a lot of people at the door of the Liu family, but there were no people who entered the door, and most of them came to see the excitement.

The three cannons in the courtyard rose into the air one after another, breaking all the traditional rules at once, and the town suddenly exploded, and the Liu family really wanted to do white things in the second year of junior high school.

Later, they simply didn't do it, and the fat man suggested that they do some activities, to say that this guy definitely has brains, and it was definitely the first time in the world to eat wine and conduct lottery in that era.

The fat man came up with this trick, and then let out the words, as long as you go to the old lady to kowtow to the old lady to get a number, these numbers can be drawn every evening, as long as you can match the number.

What are the prizes?

From small plastic basins to large tape recorders, with rich prizes, this guy is fierce enough.

Those who came to the town to visit relatives have changed to the Liu family to visit the door, once almost crowded the door, looking at the house full of queuing up to incense the old lady, the fat man said to the boss of the Liu family: "What's the matter, this is called a scene!" ”

The fat man's hand was the first in the town, so much so that later large families followed suit, and around that time our town began to play lottery.

The people in the courtyard can't sit down, anyway, whoever comes to the relatives will bring it to the Liu family, but the rural people love to take advantage of it, but the face is also wanted, the fat man found a few little hooligans in the town to brag below, and took the lead in sending the money to the gift room, and the return gift was also a prize ticket.

This trick really works wonders, no one is embarrassed to come to eat white food, and some people pay the money and the rest will follow, for fear that they will be gossiped about by others.

In this way, the Liu family has become a completely normal white matter.

Cha Wenbin continued to do it according to the process of one, two, three, four, which was mainly chanting during the day, and only at night did he have his business.

People say that others don't bring such a lively wive-in-law to a girl, this old lady Liu is really a virtue, so many people come to worship.

The troupe sang until midnight, and the people in the courtyard also waited until midnight, the first day and the second day were like this, and early on the third day, Cha Wenbin was ready to send the old man's coffin up the mountain and down to the grave......
