Chapter 3: The Legend of the Dead Mastiff
"Who, before I get angry, uncle, get out of here." Songzi helped his glasses and looked at Li Blind unkindly.
Li Blind picked up the chopsticks by himself, ate two mouthfuls of food and drank two sips of wine, completely ignoring the meaning of pine nuts, and eating happily.
Songzi saw that Li was blind and ignored him at all, his face became ugly, he slapped the table and stood up, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do something.
I didn't persuade on the side, but I wanted to see how to solve the pine nuts, and I also wanted to see where this blind Li was sacred, could it be that he was really a charlatan?
Blind Li put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth with a gray robe, frowned and said dissatisfied: "Alas, why are young people so rude now? ”
I saw the black thing on his sleeve, which was left by wiping his mouth all year round? Suddenly, his appearance of immortal wind bones was greatly discounted in my heart.
The other party is an old man, and it is a vulnerable group protected by the law, of course, it is impossible for Songzi to do it, and it is just to scare and scare him.
The corners of Songzi's mouth twitched and slowed down: "Old man, you came to our table, why did it become that I was rude?" ”
"And you can cheat and eat and drink, why don't you curse my brother for having a bloody disaster, isn't it a fool? If you weren't old, I'd have to beat you up today. ”
Blind Li rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any smoke?" ”
Suddenly, his image dropped in my heart by half.
The green tendons on Songzi's forehead burst out, clenched his fists tightly, and he said that he was emotional for a long time, and the other party should fart.
I handed Li a cigarette, asked Songzi to sit down, and gave him one.
Matsuko sat back in her seat, smoking and not talking.
Blind Li lazily spit out a smoke ring and said slowly: "I declare once again that I am not a charlatan. ”
I looked at him and said, "Please prove it, and what kind of bloody disaster you said!" ”
"If you want me to tell you, two hundred!" Blind Li gestured.
"The waiter checks out."
"Don't, a hundred will do!"
The blind man Li watched me walk towards the service desk and hurriedly shouted, "Or eighty, fifty, thirty?" ”
Blind Li gritted his teeth, "The old man opened today, as a good thing, twenty should be fine!" ”
The image of Li Blind fell directly to the bottom in my heart, and I still ignored him.
Songzi watched Li Blind eat deflated, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Zongzi!" Blind Li suddenly roared.
I stopped and looked back at him, "Chengdu grains of incense?" (The name of a kind of zongzi, the zongzi eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival)
Blind Li shouted again: "A faction of mountains and rivers is eternal! ”
I took a deep look at him, walked back to my seat, and replied, "The door flows towards the river for ten thousand years!" ”
This is the jargon of the Tao, and when you hear it, you know that it is a person of the Tao.
Songzi looked at me in confusion, then at Li Blind, and asked puzzledly: "What zongzi, what mountains and rivers, what are you two yelling about?" ”
Ignoring Songzi, I looked at Li Blind and asked, "Dare to ask what the seniors are called?" ”
The blind man Li was still the unfathomable look, and replied: "Blind Li! After a pause, your grandfather is Liu Ergou, is he okay? ”
"His old man traveled west three years ago, how do you know my grandfather?"
"Blind Li" became solemn in his face, sighed and sighed: "Alas, I think I had some friendship with your grandfather back then, but I didn't want to be an old friend." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Now you look a little like him, I just recognized it, you were sick when you were young, or I treated you, remember?"
The name "Blind Li" was well-known in Sichuan fifty years ago, this person is very good at feng shui, he can see where there is a tomb with a photo, legend has it that he also knows inscriptions, can communicate with ghosts and gods, but this person is extremely fickle, one moment still smiles at you, the next moment he stabs you with a knife, when he goes to the ground, he often uses his teammates as cannon fodder, and my grandfather is the same era. Legend has it that he had an accident 20 years ago and never appeared again, and many people believe that he died in an ancient tomb.
When I was a child, my grandfather often said to me, "If you meet this person in the future, you must be cautious and never take it lightly." ”
The name Liu Ergou was given to my grandfather by the Taoist people, and it is said that once my grandfather went down to the ground and brought back two puppies from the tomb.
Grandpa told me that this kind of dog is called a corpse mastiff, a corpse mastiff that is more powerful than the Tibetan mastiff, an adult corpse mastiff can fight a tiger to a tie, and it is the nemesis of zongzi in the ancient tomb.
As for how this kind of corpse mastiff is formed, I believe everyone has heard of it, but I still have to explain it.
There is a folk legend: "There is a wild dog in the world that can give birth nine times in a lifetime, each time giving birth to nine cubs, and when the female dog gives birth nine times, she will die." ”
After the female dog gives birth to nine cubs, she will not feed and give it food, but let them kill each other and devour each other's corpses, the only cub that survives by eating the corpse is the corpse mastiff, this kind of dog only eats carrion all its life, is very loyal to its owner, only the strong can submit it, legend has it that this dog has a long life span of three to five hundred years, is the best protector of the ancient tomb. Because there is no shortage of carrion in ancient tombs.
Those two corpse mastiffs followed my grandfather to the north and south, saving my grandfather from danger three times and twice, and even made a lot of contributions in the ancient tomb. That's how my grandfather's name spread.
After my grandfather died, the two mastiffs disappeared and never reappeared.
"It turns out that you are Master Li, I had a strange illness when I was a child, if it weren't for you, I would have burped a long time ago, but why did you appear here?"
The blind man Li did not reply, looked around and said, "This is not the place to speak. ”
Then he said: "It's not bad to have a teahouse around here!" ”
I asked Songzi to go back to the guest house first, and followed the blind man Li into the teahouse.
Matsuko muttered beside me as he left, "Brother Bi, that old thing isn't a good person at first glance, you have to be careful!" ”
This is a room of fifty or sixty square meters, the room is very simple, a few dilapidated hanging fans "woo, woo" rotating, the room is divided into a small room by many wooden boards, each small room is placed a machine hemp, the noise from time to time comes from the small room.
"Twenty thousand!"
"One Tube"
I couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this kind of town to have a teahouse." ”
"Tea house" is a kind of place to play mahjong, we all know that Sichuan people love to play mahjong very much, in Chengdu, urban area, it is said that there are no less than 100 teahouses.
An aunt in her forties said, "Do you two need to make a table?" "Playing mahjong generally requires four people, and the table is the jargon of playing mahjong, which means that there are not enough people, ask if you want to join.
The blind man Li continued: "No need, we are just here for tea!" ”
She looked at us like aliens and muttered, "Come to the teahouse, you don't even play cards!" ”
It was a sin to say that we didn't play cards when we went to the teahouse, so I ordered two cups of tea in embarrassment, and quickly escaped from the aunt, for fear that she would say something that shocked me again.
