1061 - The prince hunts and encounters a firefox
After a silence, the old man Wang suddenly shook his head, and said with a bitter face: "Where in this world is there a perfect job, each takes what he needs, and it is not borrowed and repaid, there are good and bad, this leatherman's work is patient work, technical work, although the wind does not blow the sun and does not shine, eat with technology, but there is a little, do this kind of work, deal with animal skins for a long time, the yin qi is too heavy, too damaging yin virtue, and the evil is ......."
"Now that you know, why do you still do it?" Bai Wei asked again.
Old man Wang smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not forced by life, since my grandfather's generation learned the craft into this industry, it has done well, where is there any other craft in my family, a large family to raise, you can't let go of the craft, really go and make the whole family starve together, right?" But for doing this detriment to yin virtue, this is something that my grandfather knew from that time, so when he passed away, he deliberately told my father to do something else if he could, for the sake of ancestral incense, try not to touch this craft, otherwise in case of retribution, it will be too late to say anything......"
"Then why is your dad still doing it? Your dad is not good! The fourth child said stupidly beside him.
"Hey, it's still those four words, life is forced to ......"
Old Man Wang replied: "Besides, when my father took over this craft, it was the time when my family was the richest, relying on the family property accumulated by my grandfather in the palace, my father was a rich party, and it can really be said that there are thousands of acres of fertile land and a circle full of cattle and sheep." At first, when my grandfather was there, my father was eating, drinking and having fun every day, and then my grandfather was gone, and my father was thinking about what he should do, so he opened a factory and a pawnshop, but in the event of a war, he would lose all the business and trade, and he would be blackmailed by the warlords every three or five days, and I saw that the family property was about to be defeated by my father, and then I thought about it, and I simply did it as a leather worker, after all, my grandfather was afraid that my father would starve to death, and passed on the craft, so then my father collapsed his mind and began to work as a leatherman, and finally turned over again, ...... who live comfortably until death"
At this point, the old man paused, poured a bowl of tea for us in turn, and then continued: "But why did my grandfather persuade my father not to get involved in this business as much as possible, and my father also knew it, so when he was dying, he also told me to do so, and advised me not to touch it." I am also obedient, I didn't touch this line when I was young, and I farmed the land and farmed steadily, but in the kind of environment in the past twenty or thirty years, there are many people who have starved to death after planting for a lifetime, and my family can't watch starvation to death, right? Just in time to catch up with the foreigners who always went to China to make money, they were very interested in leather products, and the prices in the market were also high...... Now that I'm old, I'm dazzled, and my hands are not good, so I naturally can't do it, but I really don't want my son to get it again, for fear of retribution, so I paid for him to open a brick kiln, but I never expected that this retribution would still come, and it would be too late to say anything......"
When the old man said this, I couldn't help but ask again: "Uncle, you always talk about retribution, what is this retribution?" ”
Old Man Wang raised his eyes and swept me, his voice became more and more low, and said: "As early as when my grandfather was doing this business, he had a feud, that is, because of this feud, my grandfather was terrified and persuaded my father to stop doing this business, for fear ......that something would happen."
After all, it is related to the secret of the old Wang family and the safety of her son, and when the child's mother heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Feud?" With whom? ”
Old Man Wang shook his head: "It's not human. ”
When I heard this, the child's mother was startled, and asked, "Not a person?" So, what is that? ”
Bai Wei, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, spoke in a deep voice-
"If I'm right, it's a fox."
As soon as I heard Bai Wei say this, I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart, and when I looked at Old Man Wang again, the old man also stared at Bai Wei and nodded in surprise.
"Bai Wei, how do you know it's a fox?"
I couldn't help but ask Bai Wei a question, and I heard Bai Wei reply: "I had this layer of doubt as early as when you couldn't use your spiritual weaponry. At that time, looking at the child's behavior when he escaped, he was like a wild thing in the mountains and forests, so he could be locked in the ranks of the wild immortals in the mountains, and the spirit soldiers on your body were the nephews of the fox ancestor and the descendants of the blue-eyed fox family, and they were usually very rampant, why did they suddenly fail this time and couldn't be sacrificed? If it weren't for the monster on the child's body, it must be because of your fox ancestor spirit soldier, so I immediately had the conjecture that the thing that entangled the child was a fox. What's more, don't forget the rumors we heard when we first got involved in this matter before, the child's grandmother returned to her soul for the first seven nights, and the child actually saw the grandmother dragging a big fox tail behind her back, all of which was so consistent with the ......"
Speaking of this, Bai Wei raised her eyes and swept the old man Wang, and continued: "In addition, coupled with the strange light in the mountains that the old lady of the Wang family saw before she was scared to death, there is only one explanation for the strange image, the Taoists call it Cai Lian Guanghua, the shaman calls it the Xianjia Cai Qi, and the folk commonly known as the fox alchemy ......."
"When you say this, could it be that this demon who is suffering from the child right now is not only a fox, but it is even very likely to have some relationship with our blue-eyed fox family?"
"It's not impossible, but you can't make up your mind so early...... Bai Wei looked at Old Man Wang after speaking, and said, "Old man, you go on, what kind of enmity did your grandfather's generation have with foxes?" We'll have to figure this out first. ”
After listening to this, Old Man Wang took a sip of tea and patiently told us about it-
During the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of leather goods are very popular with people whether they are in the palace or in the folk, which is mainly related to the culture of the Qing Dynasty 'immediately set the country', so after entering the customs and founding of the country, the royal family still retains the tradition of being good at riding and hunting, and the prey often peels the skin to make leather goods at home, and then the people scramble to follow suit, and the business of the tanners is becoming more and more prosperous.
Later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a famous leatherman named Wang He, who was the grandfather of the old man Wang, that is, the first generation of leathersmiths from the ancestors of the Wang family.
Wang He was seven years old, began to learn the craft with a leatherman surnamed Zheng in the township, after leaving the school at the age of sixteen, because of the exquisite craftsmanship was highly sought after, for a time famous in the township, attracted a lot of dignitaries and nobles to visit, paid a high price to invite Wang He to sew leather goods for them, and gave Wang He a nickname, the three words of Wang Leathermaker fell off one by one, called - the king of leather workers.
Later, Wang He's reputation as the 'leather smith king' became bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed the palace, so he was recruited into the palace by the harem manager, and since then he has become the royal leather smith in the Qing Palace, and is responsible for serving the three palaces and six courtyards in the palace and the imperial relatives in Beijing.
As explained earlier, the Qing people were good at hunting, and there was a Prince Mu in Beijing at that time, who was a good hunter, although he did not have any achievements in military and political affairs, but when it came to hunting kung fu, he was a first-class master at that time. In order to hunt, this Prince Mu even followed the example of Meng Weijun, who had 3,000 diners, and raised hundreds of good hunters at that time in the palace, and these people only did one thing every day except eating, drinking and having fun, that is, to accompany this Prince Mu everywhere to hunt and play.
One day, Prince Mu, who went out hunting again, led the team to a place called Xiuyue Mountain in the northwest of Beijing, and chose a piece of woodland infested with frequent wild beasts to become a hunting ground and began to hunt, at first everything was normal, Prince Mu took a hundred hunters to hunt happily, but hunting and hunting, there was something strange in the mountains and forests, first a whistling wind began to circle around the hunting ground, and then a red light rose from the front of the mountains and forests.
As the saying goes, there must be strange treasures in natural visions, Prince Mu was overjoyed when he saw this, so he led the team to follow the red light into the deep forest, and saw that the red light came from a cave under the cliff in front of him.
Prince Mu led people to go into the cave to hunt for treasure, but suddenly a big red fox burst out of the hole, as soon as he rushed out of the hole, he bit people, and for a time rushed to the people in the team to turn over on their backs, and several hunters did not wait to understand what was going on, and they were bitten off the throat by the big red fox......
