Chapter 13: The Past of the Western-style Building
During the lunch period, the shopkeeper of the antique store next door told me: "Brother Huo, since you moved into this store...... Haven't you ever encountered anything unclean?"
The words of the shopkeeper Tong made me sigh in my heart!
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it seems that this shopkeeper Tong knows some inside information. www.biquge.info he knows who the six buried in the basement wall of my hotel are.
For the sake of safety, I vaguely responded to the shopkeeper Tong: "You reminded me like this, I really feel a little gloomy, and I have been a little uncomfortable recently, why is this?
The shopkeeper Tong opened the chatterbox, and as soon as he heard my response, the elderly shopkeeper immediately nodded and continued.
He nodded at me and said: "This western-style building used to be our family's property, so I also know some of the reasons, my father said, here in the Republic of China era, there were many, many stories!"
The shopkeeper Tong first told me that before the establishment of this western-style building, it was a deep house compound, at that time, our urban area was not so big, and Heihu Street was called Heihu Village, which was a suburban village and town that made a living by growing rice.
The first owner of the deep house in Black Tiger Village is not a native of Black Tiger Village, but he is very rich, and it is said that he is a retired official in the former Qing Dynasty.
The eagle lord is very rich, after coming to the Black Tiger Village, he began to buy a lot of houses, spending money like flowing water, and he bought a large number of land and mansions, and soon became a well-known and local No. 1 big landlord.
Later, the landlord, like all the local tyrants in the old society, began to accept his aunt's wife, and he had only one request, except for being beautiful, he did not refuse anyone who came, let alone how virtuous he was.
This time, and caused a sensation in ten miles and eight villages.
Everyone knows that this eagle lord is the number one rich man near and far, and his domestic helpers eat white rice every meal, if he marries his aunt's wife, then he will not be fine clothes and food every day, and the rhythm of a sparrow turning into a phoenix?
So, the person who said that the matchmaker pulled the line stepped through the threshold of the eagle master.
After that, this old man was like opening the floodgates and releasing water, and he married six aunts and wives in five years, all of them were very clear, and everyone who saw it felt greedy, admiring this old man's wealth and money, but also doubting what kind of official he used to be, and he could get so much buckle money (black money) for retirement.
Of course, these are just speculations, and no one knows the truth, and this landlord who has a lot of money is also very good at protecting himself and not letting anyone get involved in his secrets.
But just after the Eagle Master married the sixth aunt, all of this was in the hands of the Eagle Master, and it ended strangely.
It turned out that on the wedding night when the sixth room entered the door, there was a sloppy Taoist priest who asked to see the eagle master, and the man was said to have calculated a hexagram for the eagle master, and then left laughing. That night, the eagle master began to shut up all day, and he didn't even remove his new wife's hijab.
Three days of such a day passed.
Early in the morning of the third day, the eagle lord changed his temperament greatly, and personally shot his six aunts and wives with guns, and used fire to grave the corpses, and after the incident, he asked the family to bulldoze the mansion that he had personally supervised. Then he sold his land and left Black Tiger Village, never to return.
No one knows the reason why this old man went berserk and killed people, so there are many versions among the people.
Among those random bullets, some people said that there were people stealing men in the six aunts, some people said that the Taoist priest was a fox spirit who had changed into the body of the eagle master, and so on, and so on.
After the incident passed, the house of the eagle lord became a ruin, and the ruins were bought by others to build a small western-style building, and the reason why the eagle killed his wife and destroyed the house will be forever hidden in the long river of history.
...... After telling me this, the shopkeeper Tong said back to himself: "Later, my father came down from the northeast and bought this western-style building on Heihu Street to do antique business, and these stories are also hearsay from my father. ”
I nodded, in understanding, but had a different idea in my mind.
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, I naturally thought of some things.
Although I can't believe it, I speculate that the six people buried in the walls of this western-style building are the six aunts and wives of the Black Tiger Master?
But why did their bodies end up cast into the walls of the western-style building? Was it at the behest of the Black Tiger Master or was there some unknown story in it? I don't know.
At the moment, the only thing I can be sure of is that the grievances of those six people are not small, and they have been suppressed by our family's Xiaozhu Shi.
Since the big things have been turned into small ones, I don't need to delve into them, let alone let Boss Tong know all kinds of tricks in this basement, which will add trouble to my business.
So, I tacitly said to the shopkeeper Tong with a smile: "I said shopkeeper, what you said is very interesting, but it is all Chen sesame rotten grain, and my store is a rising western-style building, those things...... It doesn't matter to me!"
Shopkeeper Tong frowned, nodded at me, and said, "Brother, I didn't believe in evil before, but you don't know, since three years ago, I have always heard a woman sobbing next door at night, and ......"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Tong lowered his voice even more.
He attached it to the root of my ear and said to me: "Your landlord, Mrs. Gao, has invited many monks and Taoists to do it before, but they were all scared and urinated, and two of them committed suicide that night, and it is said that there was an embroidered hairpin in the door of the brain when they died......
After the shopkeeper Tong finished talking to me, I smiled and said "hehe" twice, I really don't know whether to thank the shopkeeper Tong and scold him for losing his family.
In the end, I was really helpless, I said two reluctant jokes, which were regarded as the end, and sent away the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper Tong as soon as possible.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper Tong didn't seem to be "at ease", he swore to me that if I met those ghosts, I would move as soon as possible if I couldn't hold on, and if I really wanted to stay, I would go to him to buy a "baby" to ward off evil spirits.
“...... I have Qin Shi Huang's demon mirror here, and I spent 600 yuan from Tufuzi to exchange it, so that Master Yuantong of Yun (Harmony) South Shaolin Temple opened the light, and my buddy bought it for you at the original price. Surely it will be able to eliminate the disaster......"
After listening to the sales pitch of the shopkeeper Tong, a black line on my eyebrows burst out, and I immediately understood why he told me those sensational stories.
Dare to love, in order to sell his demon mirror as a foreshadowing!
This shopkeeper looks honest, but in fact, he is still a philistine antique dealer in his bones.
Besides, if his demon mirror really works, then it is impossible for this house to be empty for three years and not be able to rent out, not to mention that he can hear ghosts screaming at night, and I don't see any special benefits for his rare treasures.
Nothing is as good as my family's little bamboo poems.
After listening to the last sentence of the shopkeeper Tong, I finally understood the true face of this person under the honest appearance, so I smiled at him very disdainfully, opened the door in person, and sent him back.
Sending away the shopkeeper Tong who was eager to sell the demon mirror, I easily welcomed in a young couple of three who were dining.
When the guests came to the door, I called my brother Zhang Asi to entertain him.
After handing the menu to the family of three, I specially instructed Ah Sidao: "...... You help others order food, and remember that in the future, don't send any food to the shopkeeper Tong in the antique shop, it will not be possible to burn cake crumbs, you will be a fan of money, and you even want to earn haunted money, this kind of person is useless. ”
After the order, I gave a smile to the family of three, turned around and left, and went to clean up the leftovers and dishes left after the shopkeeper left.
But just as we turned around, I suddenly heard some different "huh" sounds in my head.
The voice...... It is the hum of the sword spirit bamboo poem.
