Chapter 135: The Carpenter Wears Victory

Mother Lin hurriedly shook her head and told me that although her parents were no longer alive, they both died at the end of their lives, and Lin Wenjing's grandparents also died at the end of their lives.

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, it wasn't a yin person who came to ask for his life, could it be that there was a problem with Feng Shui?

To tell the truth, since I stepped into the Lin family, I always felt that their house was gloomy, which made people feel very uncomfortable, and always felt that something was wrong. Moreover, Father Lin hanged himself a few years ago, which is obviously not the reason for the ground breaking on the locust tree.

Thinking of this, I asked Lin Wenjing: "Your father also hanged himself in this living room?" ”

Lin Wenjing nodded, pointed to the beam above my head and said, "Well, like my mother, I also found a short sight on this beam." ”

Hearing this, I said to Lin Wenjing: "Is there a small ladder, bring me one!" ”

Although the mother and daughter didn't know what I was doing, they nodded hurriedly, and then Lin Wenjing went to find me a small ladder. And Mother Lin asked me: "Xiao Chen, do you see something wrong?" ”

I said, "I'm not sure yet, I'll find out until I see it." ”

When I said this, Lin Wenjing had already found a small ladder, and I hurriedly took it, put the small ladder on the beam above my head, and then climbed up.

The beams are not high, they are only three meters high, because it is an old adobe house, the beams are all black, and no one usually climbs up to clean them, there are cobwebs and dirt everywhere, I looked at the beams and found nothing.

Lin Wenjing's mother and daughter below anxiously asked me what I was looking at?

I said, "Don't ask, just go find a flashlight and a hair towel." ”

Hearing me say this, they didn't ask much, and Mother Lin quickly went to find a flashlight and towel and asked Lin Wenjing to send them up.

I held a flashlight in my left hand, a towel in my right hand, climbed to the position where Lin Mu was hanged before, and took a towel on the beam of the room without wiping it a few times, and then my brows wrinkled, and then I continued to wipe, and then I was shocked, who would be so vicious in my heart that I wanted the whole Lin family to die? So I couldn't help but exclaim to Lin Wenjing's mother and daughter below: "The problem is really here!" ”

Lin Wenjing's mother and daughter below were shocked and asked me if I had found something?

I nodded and asked them, "How many years have you been doing this house?" Did you offend the carpenter in the first place? ”

It's no wonder that I asked such a question, because I just saw that someone had made a hand or foot on the beams of the house, drawing a small figure in ink, hanging by a rope, and three hanging figures were drawn in one drawing, side by side. Seeing this, do you think I can not be surprised? This is to kill three people in the Lin family, and all three of them were hanged, think about the Lin family, there are only three people in total, and the people who draw these three villains don't want the Lin family to die, this is too vicious.

Some people may ask, how do the three hanging villains painted on the beams of this house mean that the Lin family is dead?

In fact, this is going to talk about "things in the town", and to put it bluntly, it is the things of the town. When it comes to town things, many people think that things are far away from today's society, but in fact, many town things can be seen in everyone's daily life. Originally, "town things" were used by people to avoid evil and turn evil into blessings, but later they were used to harm people. For example, the door god, the statue of the god of wealth, the statue of the heavenly master, etc., which are usually posted at the door of the house during the New Year, are actually all town things. For example, many families will post the word blessing during the New Year, which is the meaning of a blessing and a hundred disasters.

Of course, these are only the most common town things, and there are also some people who put peachwood swords, gossip mirrors, pixiu and other things at home, these are also town things, which can make the evil people fearful and afraid to enter the house, and really play the role of the town house.

At the same time, the folk places have a lot of their own customs under the town, not only the warlock can go down, but also the carpenter mason will go down, there is a saying, the first town to harm people is the earlier craftsmen, it is said that they have read the Luban book, learned the Luban technique, the town harms people that is casually touched by this matter, as long as the proprietor is not good to him, he will either make bad moves on the door or beam, or secretly make a bad charm, under the town, will make the main family fortune decline.

The carpenter's art of going down to the town is also called tired of winning, there are many ways to go down to the town, it can be described as varied, as long as you take a meaning, sometimes, the craftsmen just casually go down to the column, on the beam, throw something enough for the owner of the house. Especially the town objects buried in the ground, all at once, except for the people below, the people don't know, they really can't hide, and they can't move.

In ancient times, there was a saying among the people that when carpenters and plasterers were invited to build houses, they must be treated with good wine and meat, so as not to offend them by secretly doing tricks and feet in the house, luring sneakers into the house, and causing the main family to lose their population, ruin their wealth or encounter lawsuits and other disasters. It is said that if a carpenter wants to haunt your house, they will cut a small puppet that looks like a ghost and place it in a dark place where people cannot easily notice it, such as beams, sills, and walls. After the house is finished, the proprietor moves into the new house, and at night, these puppets will make trouble, or make a "knock" sound like a person going up the stairs, or knock on the door like an outsider, or make a "bang" sound like a ghost hitting a siding window. In short, it makes people uneasy. But often when the brave go out late at night to explore, there is nothing outside, and the sound is holographic, and once they go back to bed and sleep, the ghost comes again. Of course, these little ghosts are just making noise and are harmless to people, but some carpenters will kill them if they do even evil.

This kind of work is called "carpentry weariness", and it is also called "lower calculation" among the people, that is, using disgusting witchcraft to calculate others. Some people think that carpentry is the psychology of carpentry in order to gain social attention and better treatment, so the fictitious supernatural ability, but is it really such a supernatural power, just like a ghost, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will have it.

There are actually a lot of stories about carpentry in the folk, for example, there is a family that hears the sound of gladiatorial fights in the house every night, so noisy that they can't sleep, thinking that it is haunted, but they don't dare to live, and finally when the house is demolished, two puppets with their heads are being wrestled on the door beam, and it turns out that the sound of gladiatorial fights in the room every night is the ghost of these two puppets. It is also said that in the past, a woman from a family stole men every day, and later found out that a puppet woman was put by a carpenter on the beam of the house, and she was riding on a man's body, and the puppet was written with the name of the woman's birthday, so the woman of this family became a slut who stole men, and then hurriedly removed the puppet, and the family began to be innocent.

According to legend, there was a rich man in Hubei, whose family was wealthy, but he was mean, and when he built a new house, he deducted the wages of the craftsmen, and the craftsmen dared not speak out, and all the craftsmen and carpenters who worked for the rich man's family were difficult to get paid in the end, so that the reputation of the rich man was notorious in the local area.

It is said that one year, when the rich man's family was about to build a new house, he went to hire a carpenter, but no one was willing to do anything for his family. At this time, an old carpenter in the same village took the initiative to come to the door and said that he was willing to do things for his family, and the surrounding peers shook their heads and sighed, persuading the old carpenter not to be stupid, he would not get money to work in the rich man's house, and in the end he would only work in vain.

The old carpenter just smiled and didn't say much, just said to give his family another job and give him a chance. So, the old carpenter took the guy to the rich man's house, saying that the old carpenter's craftsmanship is nothing to say, in the local ten miles and eight towns it is famous for good, he also worked very hard for the rich man's family, but the result was two months in a row, the house was almost built, but the salary has not been given a penny.

At this time, the old carpenter had children at home, so he took the initiative to ask the rich man for his wages, and the rich man said no, the matter was not finished, where did the wages come from? Anyway, the local wages were originally paid by the day, but they have been done for two months, and the houses are almost built, so how can there be no one who doesn't pay them, so the old carpenter spoke, and he said that if I don't pay the wages, I won't do it.

But the rich man laughed, and said that it would be better if you didn't do it, anyway, the house is almost finished, and it will only take a few days for me to ask someone else to build it, which will save me money.

When the old carpenter heard this, he was very angry, and then he promised to help him build the house first, and then hoped that the rich man would settle the wages, and at the same time secretly did his tricks and feet on the beams of the house.

Besides, the rich man, the house was soon built, but as before, he did not pay the old carpenter at all, and after the rich man moved into the new house, the family was not very peaceful, and one by one they all hanged themselves, and within half a year, the old and the young of the family hanged themselves three or four people.

At this time, the rich man panicked, so he went to invite the gentleman, but the gentleman saw that the house had been tampered with, and then he found a leftover fritter above the household limit.

It turned out that the old carpenter because the rich man did not pay the wages, so he buried the leftover fritters under the household limit, and originally planned that if the house was built, the rich man settled the wages for him, and he took the fritters away, but the rich man did not settle in the end, and the old carpenter did not take down the fritters.

Speaking of this, some people may not understand, how can a fritter make people hanged? It turned out that the Hubei area called the hanged person "eating fritters", and the old carpenter put the fritters under the household limit, which was the meaning of the hanged person, and as a result, after the new house was built, there would naturally be a thing about the homeowner's family hanging above the household limit.

And the current picture of the villain hanging himself painted in ink on the beam of Lin Wenjing's house is not the same as the fritters in the story above? This was done by the carpenter, so it happened!
