Old man Liu, who is the head of this Jin Opera troupe, said that he was introduced to him by a distant relative of the head of Ma Village, maybe the price was appropriate, or maybe it was for other reasons, but it was only ten yuan to listen to their words about money.

Ten rings is ten silver dollars, it is said that in an ordinary farmhouse is not less, but such a big drama pile makes me look at the trouble to set up, when the wife of the village chief of Ma is cooking, the village chief of Ma privately called the old man Liu into the house, this is a smiling, slow to speak old man of dry tobacco, said that it is the old man of dry tobacco, that is, he has been squatting in front of the door since he entered the house and kept "clicking" the old dry tobacco, after listening to the price of the village chief Ma, he actually agreed to come down, so refreshing but made the village chief Ma a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are many people in the room, not afraid of shivering, everyone you have more words, and the chat is very lively for a while.

Old man Liu waited for everyone to be silent, then hurriedly took two puffs of dry tobacco, and slowly said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, our business is a cheap trick, and no one will do this if it's not for the sake of eating a mouthful." ”

For the words of Old Man Liu, everyone has not denied it, since ancient times, for those who sing opera, in the eyes of the world, it is an extremely humble profession, opera, no matter how much money is made, always lingers in people's minds The word "cheap", if it is not forced by livelihood, no one will be willing to do this business, I can only hope that the future life will be better, and people's knowledge and understanding of the opera industry can be more magnanimous and truly appreciated.

Old man Liu continued: "They are all distant neighbors with old relatives, and we don't have to say anything about the price, as long as there are two hard rewards for the food, and there is no big problem in postponing it for another four days, but we still hope to solve the accommodation ourselves, and we all understand the hospitality of the Lao Ma family, but we are also grateful for this hospitality...... I hope you can understand the last resort. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Liu didn't say anything anymore, and then he kept "clicking" the dry tobacco bag, I was so big, I kept staring at Old Man Liu, not to look at him, but to look at the old dry tobacco in his hand, looking at this dry tobacco bag, I had long forgotten the old things, was reminded again, and even like yesterday, it was really presented in front of my eyes......

It is said that I was still in infancy at that time, when I had the ability to remember, I have been influenced by Grandpa Sun's smell, that is, this old dry tobacco, Grandpa Sun is also a person who loves to smoke dry tobacco, as long as there is a place for him, that must be indispensable A smell of burnt paste, it seems that I began to smell when I was young, but I feel very kind to the smell of dry tobacco, until the day before Grandpa Sun died, he also took the old dry tobacco to see me, I can't forget him, and I can't forget it......

Somehow, my mood was lost for a while, and I couldn't help but say the words: "Grandpa Liu, I'm ...... Can I take a look at your dry tobacco sticks? ”

I was very excited after saying this, and I don't know what I was thinking about right now, what? Are you missing Grandpa Sun? Or do you miss Grandpa Sun's dry tobacco? Anyway, my heart is very messy and sour......

The people in the room were talking about business, and suddenly I was so stirred up, everyone immediately swept their eyes at me, especially Master, who glared at me with a slightly reprimanding and stern gaze, but after seeing me, Master was also inexplicably surprised, and then slowly looked at the dry tobacco pouch in Old Man Liu's hand.

Old man Liu naturally looked at me with some astonishment, and at this time he stopped smoking dry tobacco, picked up the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and looked at it, and then showed a rare smile and said, "Okay, you can take a look." ”

I took the dry tobacco pouch with some trepidation, and stroked it lightly in front of everyone's eyes, and then tears came out of my eyes without fighting, I don't understand why I cried, it's rare because I forgot Grandpa Sun all these years, and then suddenly remembered him again so that all the nostalgia turned into a sour gushing out?

Master patted me on the shoulder at the right time and asked in a low voice, "Chu Qi, what's wrong with you?" ”

I smiled reluctantly, then shook my head, and handed the dry tobacco pouch back to Old Man Liu, looking at Old Man Liu at this time, as if I saw Grandpa Sun who had long since died, so I felt very kind to Old Man Liu at this time, I didn't know how to speak, but I still said: "Grandpa Liu, why don't you let Village Chief Ma arrange accommodation for you?" Do you all live outside? Isn't it cold at night like that? ”

Old man Liu just looked at me directly, and after looking at it for a long time, he relieved himself and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The seventh day of the first month." I replied with a smile in time.

Old man Liu smiled slightly, and said: "The seventh day of the first month, it's not that we don't want to live in the house, it's really a large population, and we're afraid of causing trouble to the old Ma's family. ”

The old man in Shanxi, who spoke very honestly, had dark and shiny skin, and it seemed that he often ran work outside, and he must have suffered a lot, so I smiled on a whim: "Anyway, Master and I are going to stay here for a few days, if it is convenient for you for me to rub a shop with you?" ”

At this time, the master spoke: "The seventh day of the first month! Why isn't it too big or small to talk?! ”

Old man Liu just laughed, and stopped talking, Rao is Ma Village Chief Lang smiled: "The two little masters, although rest assured, although we don't have many rooms here, but there are many people, who can't add a bed to make a bunch, the old Liu squad master can't pull into the house with a stiff neck, you can't do this anymore, otherwise if it spreads, people won't laugh at us Saddle Village can't stay with people?" Haha~~~"

But I still don't understand, why does Old Man Liu refuse to let their people eat and live in the house? And not to mention the reason, it always gives people an extremely rusty feeling, alas!

The wife of the village chief Ma spoke this kung fu and served the food to the table, we had a large room of people sitting around a big eight immortal table to eat, during the banquet several old generations also opened a bottle of what old cellar took a few sips, but the master is taboo wine, he except for eating and drinking tea, the rest of the hobbies are not at all, during the banquet everyone will inevitably turn the topic around the fierce house that everyone is afraid of, but according to the village chief Ma, in recent years, the house has not been cut off from human habitation, at least there are a few ownerless ancestral houses, The old man Ma Gou in the east of the village is also 60 years old this year, and he has five sons and a daughter under his knees, the daughter is the largest, and he married several decades ago, and now the children are all getting married, and the first few sons have already started a family, only the last youngest son, who is 27 years old this year, is still "brush hair loss - light plate eyes".

If you want to say that this person is poor, he will be short-minded, and people in the countryside are naturally the same, he can marry a mother-in-law who will give birth to a baby, and then there are two poor rooms and a thin field, that is, the capital of the free show, Ma Gou's sons have been separated after they become families, once they are separated, they must involve the problem of a housing house, there is no house, there is no place to live, the ghost is willing to live with you, so the first few sons have bought a family, only the last youngest son Ma Wulang has a clean board, and no one said, Even the ancestral house was driven out by the sister-in-law to live alone, the so-called family does not speak outside the world, you are such a big person, the family is also from the teeth to fill the food, you can't just feed you for a lifetime, no, Ma Wulang had to open another door, and this family even a broken brick is hidden three feet deep, is a hole in the ground can also fill three catties of radish cellar up, Ma Wulang finally can't even find a dog hole, helplessly, the village people gave the idea, that no one has ever dared to set foot in the murderous house, if you have the courage to live, see who dares to drive you away.

Ma Wulang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and went to go, no, he moved in the year before last, and he lived for three years, and it was strange that the people in the village had never heard Ma Goro talk about any strange things, such as seeing dirty things in that house, what nightmares he had, there really wasn't, but not, Ma Golang after two years of hard work, how much he also bought some family funds, and the old people in the village saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, that is, last month, the old matchmaker in the village was honest and honest in Ma Golang's character, and his temperament was much more stable in the past two years, So he went to the outer village and told Ma Goro about a big girl.

That's the little daughter-in-law of a dead man, otherwise a big girl who won't marry at the age of twenty or thirty, Ma Wulang is full of promises, and he sent two big fat chickens to the old matchmaker, and he wrapped a big red envelope.

Most people don't know that Ma Wulang lives in a murderous house, and the word "murderous house" is just a rumor, but people don't dare to live, so they casually took a scary name, and it is estimated that the old matchmaker didn't say it.

Yesterday, the sixteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Ma Wulang's father also deliberately found someone to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac and set a good day for yesterday, but there is a rule here, the new daughter-in-law has not passed the door, but you have to go to your mother-in-law's house in advance, that is called the Xiang family, to put it bluntly, it is to confirm the character of your family, and whether the family is bluffing.

Accompanied by the old sister-in-law, the eldest girl was led by an old matchmaker, and was led to the house where Ma Wulang lives now, and I don't know if it's a little back, or some people owe it, knowing that people are here to find fault at the end, but they were also inquired by the big girl's old sister-in-law, Ma Wulang is not living in his own house now, and that house is still a murderous house handed down many years ago, hey! The originally scheduled good day or something was all in vain, and the person left immediately, without even a reply.

Poor Ma Wulang was still greeting his relatives yesterday, but he was stopped by his family and beaten back early in the morning, no, Ma Golang lost his wife and broke the money, and he didn't catch anything, for a whole day and a night, Ma Golang has been lying in that house, and he didn't come out, some people say that he didn't move when he was lying on the bed, but who knows......

When it came to the house, the related topic came out of the mouths of several elders like pouring beans, everyone ate the food, and the rest was nothing but sighs and regrets, that is, they continued to eat.

Immediately, Village Chief Ma smiled and said: "Mr. Big will live in my son's room in the Westinghouse tonight, this is not a child, just after the birth of the child, we let the two of them take the child back to their parents' house, although it is not easy for women to move around in the confinement, but now for the sake of big things, I can't take care of so much." ”

Master did not have any objection to Village Chief Ma's arrangement, but nodded lightly, and then in the matter of arranging accommodation for me and Bu Yique, before Village Chief Ma could speak, Master spoke first: "Village Chief Ma, according to what you said before, that Ma Wulang is still guarding the empty house alone?" ”

Village Chief Ma sighed lightly and nodded in agreement, and then the master said: "That's easy to do, I'll bother you to talk to Ma Wulang tonight, let these two boys live with him, don't you know how convenient?" ”

The food I just ate in my mouth almost choked into my trachea, and even Bu Yique suddenly coughed, what is this going to do? Knowing that the house was not clean, he came up with the idea of letting the two of us live there, which ......

Village Chief Ma said with a difficult face: "Yes, naturally, Ma Wulang lives in a public house, and besides, he is honest and kind, he can live in it with a word, but these two little masters don't dislike it......"

I was fortunate to sit next to Old Man Liu, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Liu, is your bed loose?" How about me squeezing with you? ”

Bu Yique hurriedly followed my words and whispered: "On the seventh day of the first month, I will ...... with you"

The master suddenly glared and said, "Let you go, you will go!" What are you thinking?! Hurry up and eat, and let the village chief take you there after eating! ”
