When building a house, let people lead elephants, put on red cloths, and wear big red flowers to walk around the foundation to drive away evil spirits.

Rural people have always attached great importance to similar things, just for the sake of good luck.

But the house was brought down before the beams and pillars were erected, which is a greater avoidance.

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

But come to think of it, things are hard to get better.

"Let's talk about it after we get to the place!" Wang Mingyuan has no main idea about this kind of thing, after all, he has not experienced it, and some things cannot be reasoned with normal, especially in these years, he is still a nation.

For now, I can only go and see it first.

The family that Kang Langxiang asked just now was the child of his uncle's family, and their old house was given to his uncle.

Now, something happened to Kang Moxiang, and her uncle Kang Mochen had already gone to the scene to see if he could help solve it.

The location of the incident is not far from another production team, not far away.

The four of them got into the car, but they arrived in about 20 minutes.

Shafang, is another commune near Adu.

Compared with the Adu Commune, the Shafang Commune is mainly dominated by the Dai family.

The boundaries of the nation are also mostly managed by the nation itself.

What is suitable for the general production team may not work here.

After all, a nation has its own customs and habits.

In the village, bamboo buildings are hidden in the swaying phoenix tail bamboo forest.

In this village, there are very few people who can afford to build a wooden building on stilts.

Compared with wooden buildings on stilts, bamboo buildings are easier to process and build, not to mention that bamboo is abundant locally.

In Yun Province, almost all of the Dai areas are bamboo buildings and wooden frames, with people living upstairs and sundries downstairs, similar to a large tent.

Only the noble dwellings, mostly made of precious wood, are still similar in style to bamboo buildings, but they are taller, and the roofs are not covered with thatch but tiles.

Of course, there are also many earthen wall houses, which are not traditional Dai houses under the influence of the Han people.

The family where Kang Moxiang caused the incident was a big family on the team, and it was a wooden building.

The location of the house is at the flat dam at the entrance of the village, and the area is not small.

The planks that had been sawn with a potbelly saw lay on the side in large piles of small yards, all old pine, very thick.

This is already an excellent building material, itself is soaked in pine oil, corrosion resistance, and the surging pine fragrance.

Nearby, there are also large barrels of tung oil collected, which are used for embalming.

Such specifications...... It's not simple.

At this time, hundreds of villagers watched the excitement around the foundation, and there were a lot of squatting on the ridges and trees, which was no less lively than watching a movie.

"What's the origin of this family?"

Wang Mingyuan parked the car on the side of the road from a distance, approached the crowd, and looked at it quietly for a while before turning his head and asking Kang Langxiang.

National affairs have always been special, and if they are not handled properly, it is not uncommon for small things to easily expand their influence and cause serious man-made disasters.

Therefore, Wang Mingyuan greeted a few people early, so let's not talk about it first.

"This family used to be poor peasants, and they didn't have anything like that, but as you know, in the early years, the poorer they were, the more glorious they were, and it was precisely because of this that they were very active in the previous years, that is, the so-called high ideological consciousness, and they should have gained a lot of benefits during this period.

Last year, I heard that I had made a fortune, and I dug up some gold and silver items that were previously hidden in the toast from the ground, and it is said that I went south and sold them for a lot of money, and suddenly became a big cooperative owner. ”

Conlongchan explained in a whisper.

The Dai family is not used to the name of the production team, and has always used the cooperative.

In the past, Tusi was, to put it bluntly, the Emperor of the Soil, and his living expenses had always been extravagant, and it was normal to have gold, silver and jade.

Hearing Kang Langxiang say this, Wang Mingyuan probably also had some ideas.

But he remained silent, and looked into the foundation, where the pillars had fallen to the ground.

It was built in the way of mortise and tenon, and the pillars and wooden squares were all implicated, and this one fell, and they all collapsed.

The baby elephant was chained to a large tree beside it.

Kang Moxiang was sitting on the pillar foot stone pier on the side, still looking at the lake. The person who greeted him next to him should be his younger brother Kang Mochen.

It seems that Kang Moxiang has drunk a lot of wine, and he is arguing with the master with a loud voice.

"White elephant, this is a white elephant, a god elephant that is unique in ten thousand, to give your town house, that is a great blessing, this wooden frame is obviously not firmly established, and, who asked you to throw cannons into it at such a time, the god elephant was shocked, knocked down the beams, if I didn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have to take my life.

Also, look at what happened to this god elephant smashed by your wood, I didn't ask you for medical expenses, and you turned back to slander me, what is the reason? ”

Kang Moxiang had a big tongue and spoke a little unpleasantly, but he was loud enough to be like a shrill-throated rooster.

"Obviously, you can't tame the elephant at home, and you can't even greet this elephant. What kind of god is not like a god, I, Liu, have also walked through the south and the north, don't use this to talk to me, a few years ago, we cracked down on cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and you are still here now, do you want me to report you? ”

The man who said this was a man in his thirties, dressed in kaki cloth, which looked out of place with the rest of the village.

"Open your mouth, shut your mouth, I think you are a god, if it weren't for my Abba to be auspicious, I would let you enter this foundation to do these things." The man snorted coldly.

As soon as they heard that they were cracking down on cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, the Rao Shi Dai family had this custom, and they were also a little frightened.

Kang Moxiang's wine woke up most of the time at once.

If this is really the reason, even if the matter is troubled, it doesn't seem to be pleasing to you.

"I said big brother, you should tell me, how to solve this matter so that you are happy?" Kang Moxiang's voice suddenly became much quieter.

"It's easy to say, lose money, or leave this elephant behind." When the man said this, his eyes glanced at the white elephant.

"This seems to be from Mingyuan Farm, and it must not be compensated to you, but you should tell me, how much money do you have to pay?" Kang Moxiang said bitterly.

"One thousand, one thousand less, it's like you don't want to take it away." The man stretched out a finger and gestured: "I process these woods, the materials are valuable, and the wages are higher, so I want you a thousand or less." ”

Thousand?

That's a lot of money for the vast majority of people.

As soon as this number came out, even the surrounding people made a big wave, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

In these years, the wood can still be cut up the mountain, and it can be done with some effort, as for the processing and excavation, it is indeed a bit complicated, but it is definitely not so much money to build a wooden building.

You must know that even the three bright brick houses, even with materials and labor, are only 300 yuan.

Two thousand, not to mention one such wooden building, even two better than this can be built.

Undoubtedly, this is the lion's big mouth.

Wang Mingyuan can be regarded as hearing it, this guy is purely a hindrance from it, and wants to beat his own baby elephant idea.

Kang Moxiang suddenly became anxious, and stood up suddenly: "You want my life." ”

"Again, give the money or leave the elephant behind." The man was unmoved: "As for your life, I want to come and have j8 use?" ”

This is a very ugly sound.

Kang Langxiang, who had been standing with Liu Li, had an ugly face, and he raised his feet and prepared to separate the crowd and go in to help.

No matter how unreliable Kang Moxiang is, it is also her father.

Who can stand being said to someone's face?

Including Liu Li, he also had the same reaction, this is his future father-in-law.

Wang Mingyuan also frowned suddenly, Kang Moxiang is a member of his own farm, this can't be covered, how can he mix it up in the future?

But Wang Mingyuan is not as impulsive as Liu Li and Kang Langxiang.

Before the two entered, Wang Mingyuan first said loudly: "Since you don't believe what you said about the cow, ghost, snake and god, then, if the beams and pillars collapse, naturally there is no such thing as auspiciousness, anyway, you don't believe it." In this way, things are simple, the beams and pillars have fallen, and it is good to stand up again. ”

Hearing Wang Mingyuan's words, Kang Langxiang and Liu Li both stopped and looked back at Wang Mingyuan.

When Kang Moxiang heard Wang Mingyuan's voice, his expression suddenly became surprised, and he ran towards Wang Mingyuan quickly: "Field leader, why are you here?" I'm sorry for you! ”

He cried first.

"Uncle Kang, the world is different, what the old generation believed in before, no one believes it now, in the future, this little elephant is not allowed to take half a step out of Zhangjiaao, you have to have a long snack." Wang Mingyuan looked at Kang Moxiang and took a long breath.

"Are you the king of the eight lambs?" The man was choked by Wang Mingyuan's words, and yelled at Wang Mingyuan angrily.

At the same time, his eyes were also looking Wang Mingyuan up and down, although he felt that Wang Mingyuan was not ordinary, but after all, this was the territory of their cooperative, and there were a large number of clansmen present, so he was not worried at all.

"It's really dirty!" Wang Mingyuan shook his head and walked towards the venue step by step.

A group of onlookers immediately moved out of the way.

"A thousand dollars, a trifle!" Wang Mingyuan stood still in the middle of the scene, looked at the man calmly, paused, and said loudly: "Why, there is no one who comes out to uphold justice in such a big cooperative, is this still a place that can be reasonable?" ”

"Young man, this is my Dai family's business, I have to follow the rules of the Dai family, since I have collapsed the pillars of the family, then I have to pay for it, this is not controversial, right?"

As soon as Wang Mingyuan's words fell, an old man walked out with his hands behind his back.

"You ......"

"I'm the patriarch here. Who are you? ”

"I'm Wang Mingyuan, the director of Mingyuan Farm over there in Adu Commune."

"Wang Mingyuan?" The old man frowned slightly: "This name sounds familiar. ”

At this moment, someone leaned into his ear and whispered something.

Wang Mingyuan recognized that this was a militia member who had participated in militia training together.

After listening to him, the old man's expression when he looked at Wang Mingyuan eased a lot.

"Since you have made a mistake, you should indeed be punished, Kang Moxiang is a person from my farm, and this white elephant is also mine, and I will bear the mistakes I have made." Wang Mingyuan looked at the old man: "Since you are the clan elder, you can tell me a fair word, how to deal with this matter according to the rules of your Dai family." ”

"According to the rules, apologize, and then hang red, slaughter the animals for sacrifice, and re-erect the pillars on the other auspicious day, of course, the compensation that should be paid, or have to be compensated." The clan elder looked at Wang Mingyuan, then at the man, and said.

"It's easy to do...... Please take a look at the clan elders, how much should we accompany? Wang Mingyuan asked again.

It's not that he's afraid of things, but he doesn't want things to get serious, and since there is a mistake, he should pay for it.

However, there are also people who lose money and say that they don't say that they will give as much as others want, and that won't become a big wrong.

Things went back to losing money, but the old man was in trouble again.

He looked back at the man and said, "Dezhu, for this matter, it costs a thousand, isn't it too much?" In the words of their Han people, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, you didn't damage a few pieces of wood, besides, you shouldn't set off artillery at that time, our Dai family has always respected elephants, not to mention, this is still a white elephant, that's our patron saint, one or two hundred yuan. ”

Hearing what the elder of this clan said, Wang Mingyuan felt a little more comfortable in his heart, he is still a sensible person!

As everyone knows, Liu Dezhu laughed: "Is it much? I don't think it's much, anyway, I'm just on this condition, otherwise it's not negotiable! Also, don't mention any patronus to me, in my eyes, it's an animal. ”

Pretty horizontal!

When the old man heard this, he suddenly exploded: "You say it again? ”

"It's the same for a hundred times, I can handle this matter myself, and I don't have to bother the old people to interfere."

His own people did not stand on his side, Liu Dezhu was a little annoyed, and his words were quite unkind.

It's the same as saying: Flash aside, don't get in the way here.

The meaning of the words, the old man of the clan naturally knew it.

In ethnic villages, the words often spoken represent the will of the village, and in many cases, it is more effective than various laws and regulations.

Seeing that Liu Dezhu was not interested, the clan elder was also angry: "Boy, since you don't know what to do and can't listen, then I won't interfere." ”

The clan elder turned around and left, and said by the way: "Everyone is scattered, what should you do...... you should go" After walking a few steps, the clan elder looked back at Liu Dezhu again: "There are rules in the clan, whether you abide by it or not, and now it is not the time to take chicken feathers as an arrow a few years ago, and you are no longer the poor peasant who has nothing, don't raise your tail too high, and your butt should still be covered." Also, don't come to me if you have something to do in the future. ”

It's the same as saying: you have to make a face, I can't afford to lose anyone.

was greeted by the old man of this clan, and the onlookers shook their heads, and they also went home one after another, which was not ordinary.

Wang Mingyuan looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that this guy named Liu Dezhu was afraid that he didn't have a good relationship with the people in this village, and he was not a little annoying on weekdays.

Soon, everyone was gone.

Liu Dezhu looked at the back of the clan elder who walked away, spat on the ground fiercely, and muttered in a low voice: "You old immortal ......"

Wang Mingyuan looked at Liu Dezhu, and then looked at the family behind him, and finally his eyes fell on another thin old man holding a child on the side, and it was preliminarily estimated that this person should be Liu Dezhu's father.

】

"Old man, you are Liu Dezhu's father, you say, how much should we lose?" Wang Mingyuan asked.

The old man looked at Liu Dezhu, but was glared at by Liu Dezhu, hurriedly bowed his head, and said nothing.

Wang Mingyuan shook his head, walked back to his car, rummaged through things, counted a thousand yuan when he came back, and put it on a stone pier used to stand on the foundation.

"Uncle Kang, take the elephant back to the farm!"

Wang Mingyuan commanded, turned around and called a few people to leave.

Liu Li refused to leave, and was dragged back a few steps by Wang Mingyuansheng: "This money was hacked by him for nothing?" ”

His voice was not small, and he was angry.

Wang Mingyuan laughed: "Don't worry, you will be punished!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Li was stunned, he knew Wang Mingyuan a little, and knew that Wang Mingyuan must have an idea, so he stopped being strong at the moment and followed Wang Mingyuan away.
