Chapter 7: Old Things
After the death of his father, the business of the coffin shop was not affected, Huang Nail almost completely inherited his father's craftsmanship, and the technique of beating the coffin was very clever.
In addition to inheriting the craft, the yellow nail also learned the carpenter, the owner of the coffin shop will also beat the furniture, the craft is very good, at the beginning there were some poor people waiting to get married, and they really had no money and couldn't care about the bad luck, and began to try to find the yellow nail to hit the furniture. I didn't expect it to be very beautiful, not worse than the carpenter's craftsmanship, and even more durable.
After a long time, the business got better and better, and Huang Nails also bought two yards, one yard for furniture, and the other yard for coffins. He didn't forget his father's admonition, and he still focused on beating coffins.
When you have nothing to do, take some leftovers, play some small gadgets such as carving and tickling, and supplement the family, in that troubled world, the small life is also enjoyable. In the second year of marriage, Huang Dingzi's daughter-in-law became pregnant, and the two of them lived a nourishing life.
There used to be only one carpenter in Fucun, but since Huang Nail's start making furniture, the carpenter surnamed Zhang has had a bad business. After a long time, Carpenter Zhang became jealous. To say that the carpenter industry is also particularly particular, some carpenters learn Lubanshu, in addition to good craftsmanship, they can also change feng shui through Lubanshu.
Carpenter Zhang's skills are average, when there was only one carpenter in the village before, Carpenter Zhang's life was still passable, it is difficult to eat meat at a time, but he can still eat a full meal. With competition, business is getting harder and harder. After a long time, Carpenter Zhang had other thoughts, and he turned out the manuscript of Luban from a long time ago.
This Luban book can be said to have a great origin, divided into two volumes, the first volume focuses on the carpenter's craft, and the second volume talks about the method of self-protection, magic spells and medical spells. The transcript of Zhang's carpenter's Luban book is recorded, which happens to be the next volume.
Carpenter Zhang studied at home for two days, and then went to the first birthday banquet of the yellow nail girl with a smile on his face. Carpenter Zhang brought a large basket of rice and twenty eggs, which could be said to be a generous gift at that time.
Carpenter Zhang entered the house and bowed to the yellow nails, burst into tears, and said: "Brother, I used to be too narrow-minded and always speak ill of you behind my back, but now I am really convinced of your craftsmanship." This is the first birthday of your daughter, and I didn't come to see my eldest niece when the full moon was full, so I have to hug my eldest niece when I say anything. Our carpenter, coffin maker, are all one family. ”
Huang Nazi thought to himself that this carpenter had changed his sex today, but after all, this would be the time to do a happy event, and he wouldn't hit the smiling person!
After Carpenter Zhang left, something happened to Huang Dingzi's house, and when he was having a first birthday banquet at home, a guest suddenly went crazy, and he disappeared within two days of being sent home.
Since then, the business of Huang Dingzi's family has also deteriorated, if you want to say that the business is not good, forget it, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the health of Huang Dingzi and his wife is getting worse and worse, first the daughter-in-law suffered from the wind and cold for a long time, and then Huang Nail had a headache. The coffin that Lao Ding said fell to the bottom was discovered at that time.
"Weren't you quite rich at that time, why don't you pay some money to others, and it's too bad to drive away other people's orphans and widows!" Mo Xun heard this, and remembered what Lao Ding said about beating other people's orphans and widows, and then asked.
"Fart! When did my old Huang get rid of her? Ding San is a conscienceless person, do you know it! What kind of good do you think Ding San is?" Huang Nail's daughter-in-law instantly changed her face, revealing the fierce and vicious appearance that a female ghost should have. Mr. 100 intervened in time to suppress her anger.
Mr. 100-year-old said that when there was no accident at Huang Dingzi's house, he went to Huang Dingzi's house, when he had just come to Changbai Mountain, he was tired of traveling and driving, and he originally wanted to beg for saliva to drink, but after entering the house, there was a burst of gloom. Although the location of the house is not a treasure of feng shui, the feng shui is not bad, so that there will be a gust of wind when you enter the house.
Mr. 100 took the compass and walked around the house twice, but he never found the real problem. So he reminded Huang Dingzi's daughter-in-law to move early and left, but Huang Dingzi's daughter-in-law only treated the old man as an old man and didn't take it seriously.
But Mr. 100-year-old took the matter of Huang Dingzi's family to heart, thinking of finding a reason to help his family survive this catastrophe, which can be regarded as a kindness to repay this saliva.
As soon as it was dawn in the morning, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Wu family found the coffin shop and said that the man in the family had died.
Huang Dingzi's daughter-in-law has actually heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Wu family has something to do with her brother-in-law, but when she opens her door to do business, everyone who comes is a guest, how can anyone open a store because the customer is not serious and will not accept business!
After ordering a coffin, Huang Nail got up early to pick up wood to beat the coffin, she said that her man fell from the mountain and fell to his death, which was a horizontal death, which was different from the old and sick death.
Two days before the funeral, the coffin was urgent, and it was freshly beaten, but the yellow nail stayed up for several nights to come out, he had a lot of eyes, guessing that the death of the boss of the Wu family was not so simple, and he deliberately carved a short mantra to transform the boss of the Wu family.
Finally ready to take it. That night, Carpenter Zhang went to Lao Wu's house, and moved on the corpse and coffin, and he recalled the ghost according to what Lu Ban said in the book, and in case of accidents, he also pried out a few nails.
That night, Lao Wu's family exploded, and the corpse said that he had become a martial artist, not only witnessed the incident of his daughter-in-law and younger brother, but was also pushed off the cliff by his younger brother and fell to his death.
After the Wu family found out, the first thing they thought of was to calm the boss and quickly seal the coffin, so as not to be known by outsiders.
It turned out that the boss was a woman who couldn't let a woman have a child, but he had a face that a woman liked, so he got a daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law married in and found out that the boss was a eunuch, but it was too late to regret it.
Because the family has no money, the eldest brother has not asked for a wife in his twenties, every time the eldest brother goes out, the eldest brother touches the sister-in-law's bed to sleep, and the old man in the family knows it for a long time, although it is immoral, but it can be passed on to the old Wu family, and they even help the eldest and the eldest daughter-in-law to hide the boss.
In the funeral procession, Carpenter Zhang set up an altar at home to control the boss's body to struggle in the coffin, and the coffin was pulled out by Carpenter Zhang A lot of nails were pulled out by Carpenter Zhang, and the corpse inside struggled violently, of course, it fell out all at once.
"When did you know about these things about Carpenter Zhang?" Mo Xun couldn't imagine that such a quiet small village would have such a thing, "That Ding San was raised by Carpenter Zhang, and when a person dies, he knows everything." But it's too late!" The yellow nail daughter-in-law looked at the girl in the lower courtyard and touched her tears: "My poor stupid girl!"
After the coffin fell to the bottom incident, the popularity of the Yellow Nail family decreased a lot, and the Yellow Nail Seeing Yin technique was effective, just like a ghost who was confused and began to prepare more vicious means.
Carpenter Zhang took advantage of the fact that Huang Nail's family was not at home, and placed four soul suppression nails in the four corners of Huang Nail's house. Within half a year, Huang Nail's mother and daughter-in-law died tragically, and even her daughter almost died.
As the adopted son of Carpenter Zhang, Ding San knew more or less about the strange things that Carpenter Zhang did since he was a child, and even helped Carpenter Zhang do some bad things when he grew up, gaining fame and fortune.
When Carpenter Zhang was young, his family was poor and he didn't get a wife, but when he was old, his family had a little money, so he took a boy home in the county to raise him, wanting to pass on this ancestral carpenter craft.
Ding San learned about the Yellow Nail from Carpenter Zhang, and he also knew that the Yellow Nail finally escaped the catastrophe because he changed the house, and Carpenter Zhang instructed him to put the soul nail in the new house of Yellow Nail, and if he did, he would teach him Luban Technique.
So since then, Ding San has been fooling around around Huang Dingzi's house every day, and Huang Dingzi has long thought that the matter of his family may be related to Carpenter Zhang, but because there is no evidence, he can only give up.
One day, I saw Ding San walking around the house every day, and I was even more firm in my heart, so I went to my mother-in-law's house with the child, handed over most of the money in my hand to my mother-in-law, and told my mother-in-law to take care of her daughter, and then go to the blacksmith's house in the next village to work as a coolie.
The blacksmith and his wife are over sixty years old, and there is a widowed daughter in the family, and there is no one in the mother-in-law's family, so the girl returns to her parents' house with the child.
Huang Nail stayed in the blacksmith's house for many years, and when everyone thought that Huang Nail could get out of the pain of breaking the house and was going to marry the widow of the blacksmith's family, Huang Nail suddenly died, and fell into the molten iron, and even the body could not be found after a puff of black smoke.
As he spoke, the yellow nail's daughter-in-law cried, and the hundred-year-old gentleman continued to tell the story after the yellow nail's daughter-in-law's words.
This Ding San, when he was thinking about the soul nail around the yellow nail house in the past, he fell in love with Huang Daxue, the girl who was yellow nail, and the girl was very clever, and most of the reason why Ding San didn't put the nail was because he was reluctant to give up this little girl.
After the heavy snow was sent away, Ding San often slipped out of the house to find the snow to play in various names, and when he reached the age of the beginning of love, the two of them were like glue, and it was inevitable that he would not be discovered by Zhang Carpenter after a long time, Zhang Carpenter was naturally against the marriage of the two people, to say that Ding San was also a ruthless person, and after being blocked many times, he actually pulled out the soul suppression nail in the Huang family's old house in a fit of anger.
Ding San thought about pulling out the nail and took it back, and threatened Carpenter Zhang to tell Huang Nail about it if he didn't agree. Necheng thought that after he dug out a soul-calming nail, Carpenter Zhang died because he broke the feng shui bureau and was counterattacked.
Carpenter Zhang is dead, and the people who stand in his way are gone. Ding San boldly came to the door to propose, thinking that this marriage was going to be completed, but he didn't expect to be opposed by Huang Nail, Ding San was also red-eyed, seeing Huang Nail's opposition, the first thought was to kill him endlessly.
When he went home, he picked up his adoptive father's Luban book, just like Zhang Carpenter many years ago, he sat at home and studied Luban book without eating or drinking, and learned to send the little ghost by mistake, he let the little ghost push the yellow nail into the molten iron, and then married Huang Daxue back smoothly in the name of Chongxi.
