Two

The old ginger and his apprentice started work early after lunch. I saw that the old Jiang Tou grabbed his wrist and his apprentice Liu Xiaonian hurriedly sawed up the wood. Li's rich family is indeed prosperous. They are made of the finest logs. The master and apprentice were busy until dusk. The rich man Li walked in with a smile and said, "Busy! Tidy up, clean up! Dinner is ready." "An unwritten rule of workmanship. If you make it to dusk, the host will prepare dinner. Otherwise, it is a sign of the owner's meanness.

"No, let's go back and eat!" said the old ginger. "No, I'm ready for dinner. It's not bad for this bite. Rich Li said. "My daughter is home alone. I didn't say hello to her when I left in the morning. I'm afraid she's worried. "The old ginger head is back. "People who are so big will take care of themselves. Besides, don't you often come home late? Where are you so punctual in your handiwork? I scalded a pot of old wine. Let's have a few drinks. ”

When the old ginger heard this, it was not easy to persevere. He and Liu Xiaonian cleaned up together. I started to sit down and eat and drink. "Master Jiang, I'm still particular about carpentry! "I know that I have made such a good piece of wood. The proprietor is worthy of a big family. "Hehe! drink, come and drink," said the two of them, and they pushed their glasses and changed their glasses for a few rounds. Once the wine is on the table. Forgot everything.

It's about the same time to eat and drink. Old Jiang Tou thought of going home. "Nian'er, clean up and we'll go back. "Master Jiang, it's been a few changes! Why don't you stay here for the night tonight?" said Rich Master Li with concern. "Nian'er. How many times have you changed!" asked the old ginger. "It's been a moment. Liu Xiaonian replied. "Yes! It's time. Rich Man Li hurriedly said. The wings are ready for the two of you. Just stay here for one night with peace of mind!

There is a rule for doing handicraft work: if you don't go out, you won't return. Old ginger saw that it was so late. I had to talk about it. Then bother the owner. The rich man welcomed them to the east wing of the atrium and said, "You two will stay here for the night! This is my eldest son's room." He has been empty ever since. Rest well tonight!" "Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

Old Jiang Tou and Liu Xiaonian freshened up a little. Liu Xiaonian took a look at the house here. A dresser made of golden silk nanmu. Kusunoki's chair. On the table was a large bronze mirror. Look at this bed again. It's all carved from solid wood. The carving is the picture of the autumn wind lady. The quilt with silk on it. The porcelain pillow of Jingdezhen ceramics also looks so graceful and luxurious.

"Master, it's so beautiful!" Liu Xiaonian said, touching the bed. "Be pretty! Is this lady carved by seal or relief carving?" Liu Xiaonian said, "But he added a little dark energy to his seal carving." So it looks like a relief technique. "Yes, yes, I have good eyesight. Old Jiang looked at Liu Xiaonian and said with a slight smile.

After a while, the two of them lay down on their beds and fell asleep. Liu Xiaonian is still young. Maybe I'm tired from work. After lying in bed, I fell asleep after a while. Old man Jiang may be a little recognizable. I just can't close my eyes when I turn it over and over. It was about the time of the third watch in the middle of the night. The old ginger was dazed and heard the ding-dong in the attic, as if someone was walking.

Most of the previous houses were made of this wooden structure. There is an attic above. It's usually firewood or something. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's also quite comfortable. The old ginger was wondering how there could be someone up there! Who was up there in the middle of the night! Suddenly I heard a few women's laughter of "Hey, hey!"

Old ginger got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. Suddenly a shiver came out. "Nian'er, wake up, Nian'er" Old Jiang Tou saw that something was wrong and hurriedly woke up Liu Xiaonian. "There is a problem with this house. "Well, master, what's the matter!" Liu Xiaonian rubbed his eyes and said. "Hey, hey, hey! You promised the slave family to accompany the slave family. Why can't you come here yet! You want the slave family to wait so long!"

The voice came and went. With a chill. Liu Xiaonian only shivered when he heard this. "Division... Fu: What's the matter!" "Shhh The house is not clean. Old Jiang Tou whispered. Liu Xiaonian just wanted to get up by the moonlight. Suddenly, I saw a large pile of hair pouring in from the mouth of the attic. "Division... Fu: What is this?"

The old ginger hurriedly covered Liu Xiaonian's mouth. I saw a female ghost floating down from the attic. Float in the air. I saw the female ghost in red clothes and red pants. He wears a pair of red embroidered shoes on his feet. The neck was stretched out. There is also a red mark on it. The scarlet tongue kept coming out. I saw that the tongue flew over and wrapped around Liu Xiaonian's neck. Old Jiang Tou saw it and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xiaonian. He picked up Liu Xiaonian's right hand with one hand and put the fingers in his mouth and took a bite. Immediately blood flowed out.

looked at Liu Xiaonian again, his eyes rolled white. The old ginger quickly raised his finger and poked it into the tongue. I heard a scream of "Ahhh The tongue immediately retracted. Liu Xiaonian finally took a breath. The female ghost shook her head when she saw it, and saw that the hair came straight to the old ginger's head. Immediately wrap the old ginger head in it. Old ginger looked at it. Not good. He quickly picked up the four copper coins under the pillow.

Old Jiang Tou silently recited the mantra in his mouth: Emperor Taizong, the real dragon is alive. Bless the children, there are no taboos. "Open!" shouted the old ginger head. Four copper coins were thrown at the female ghost. I heard only a scream of "Ah!" and another scream. The female ghost didn't get the slightest bargain at first glance. "You old ghost, you dare to hurt my aunt and grandmother. ”

"The little old man has just arrived at Guibao Mansion. I hope the fairy aunt will forgive me for the unreasonableness. "Quick! learn how to crow. Old Jiang stabbed Liu Xiaonian and whispered.

"Excuse me! Come and tell your aunt to forgive me. The female ghost said viciously. "That's not to talk about, you female ghost, you can't be reincarnated. You have to tell right and wrong in this yang world. Don't you know that you have the way to heaven? Be careful, that day you will be wiped out, so that you will never be reborn. "Hehe! What kind of joke is the little old man! Look at me if I don't get you fruited." So saying, the female ghost was about to come forward.

"Oh oh! Oh oh!" Suddenly, Liu Xiaonian learned a rooster and crowed. "Hmph, hmph, my aunt is a little tired. I'll clean up the two of you tomorrow." "Hmph, hmph!" said the female ghost who floated away from the top of the attic.

"Master, are you leaving?" Liu Xiaonian asked in a low voice. "Well, it's so risky!" Old Jiang didn't feel sleepy at all. Nian'er hurriedly lit the lamp and went to the hall to bring in the five-foot stick. Five feet in hand. The demons were scared away. Old Jiang Tou said. "Okay. Liu Xiaonian hurriedly brought the five feet in. "Master, why didn't you hit it with copper coins just now! Isn't that female ghost afraid of copper coins?" There were only these four copper coins left at the head of the bed. "No wonder you put four copper coins under your pillow every time you sleep!

"This copper coin was made during the Zhenguan period. Emperor Taizong was a famous Ming monarch. It's the true dragon emperor. The copper coins he produced were stained with the righteousness of heaven and earth. Naturally, the ghosts were afraid. "No wonder you put a few on your body every time you go out!" "You remember." People are afraid of ghosts. Ghosts are also afraid of people, especially the smell of people. Especially the smell of children. People belong to fire, and ghosts belong to yin. "Oh! this female ghost was fierce just now!" "Of course she was fierce." You can see that it's all red. ”

"It's important to understand why. I have to invite out the rich man Li. Nian'er, you go and wake up the rich man Li. Said I had something to ask him," Liu Xiaonian walked into the inner hall with a lantern. He knocked on the door of the rich man Li and shouted, "Master Li, Master Li, wake up." "But after filming for a long time, where is there a response! That rich man Li sneaked away early last night
