And what they mentioned the most was: "It's him, he has read the Book of Luban!"

There was a disgusting contempt in that tone.

But soon, Uncle Liu quietly stopped everyone: "Okay... I know that I am still thinking about it. How many times have I told you before? Don't mess with those who have read Luban's book... You don't have a long memory!"

That shout stopped and instantly made those young people shut up.

But along the way, those young people also got back the cowbells that they lent me earlier... At first, I could still hear the "jingling" of cowbells on the road.

Later, the cowbell gradually disappeared.

As the last cowbell paused, I also looked sideways.

Seeing those people, they were already on the way, quietly discarding the cowbells.

There was a shabby-dressed young man who refused to leave the cowbell... But he was admonished by others: "Throw it away, those who have read the "Book of Luban", only you dare to take the things they have used!"

"yes," someone chimed in, "you're not unlucky!"

I didn't understand at the time... People who have read "The Book of Luban", what's wrong?

It's like a thief, I have no reason, how can I be inferior!

That inexplicable dislike, as if I was a murderer, in their mouths, I inexplicably felt that reading "Luban Book" had become a shameless crime!

I'm definitely a good temper... When I came to Liujiazhai by car, I was so counted by Liu Siqi, I didn't get angry, and I didn't complain.

But right now, I was kind enough to help exorcise evil spirits, but instead of changing for the better, I became the target of public criticism.

I was about to turn back to them to theorize, but Liu Siya dragged me to death, her beautiful eyes frowned, as if she had eaten a sour apricot: "Forget Jiang Cheng!"

With that, he quickened his pace and pulled me away......

When I returned to Liu Siya's house and closed the door, I finally couldn't bear to complain.

How could this person from Liujiazhai be so wonderful!

"Jiang Cheng, don't be angry," Liu Siya said suddenly, "I remembered!"

"Remember?" I asked.

She just remembered, "When I was a child, it seems that the old people in the village used to say... Don't provoke, those who have read the Book of Luban."

That's right... This is also inexplicably familiar to me.

Because even now, in the town, when I occasionally hear people talk about the "Book of Luban"... It seems that they will also listen to the admonition of the older generation. Don't provoke those who have read the Book of Luban.

But those old people never explained why they couldn't be provoked.

It's like they originally wore a kind of colored glasses to people who had read "The Book of Luban" and avoided them.

It's as if those people are plague gods, and people are full of discrimination.

These are all admonitions from the older generation, and it is only after the generations of admonitions that they have affected the eyes of the world.

But I wondered, "What's wrong with people who have read the Book of Luban? Whose interests are in the way? Who did you hurt?"

"Actually, it's not just people who have read the Book of Luban," Liu Siya also mentioned, "It seems that the village has always been in awe of carpenters, and they are also very avoidant!"

Liu Siya comforted me and pulled me to sit in a cool place in his backyard.

"Actually, don't take it to heart," Liu Siya said, "Everyone just doesn't know enough about the Book of Luban, and before... In fact, it has happened all over the country, and it is said that some carpenters, or people who have read the "Book of Luban", secretly make trouble, and trick fools. Therefore, when the news came out, it became more and more evil......

Liu Siya also said at the moment that she was once outside, and she also heard about the carpenter who harmed people in "Luban Book".

It is said that in the early years, a family hired a carpenter to build a house for their family, and the mistress of the house thanked the carpenter by cooking fish for the carpenter every day. But every time, only the head of the fish is given, not the body of the fish.

The carpenter felt that he was not affected

Respect, resentful, so he drew a hand in a corner of the house and walked away.

One day many years later, the carpenter happened to pass by the house, and found that the house was dilapidated, only the hostess sat at the door doing needlework with a sad face, and the carpenter came forward curiously to ask why, and the hostess said that in recent years the family has become very unlucky, and there is a sound of banging on the wall every night.

Seeing that the mistress did not recognize the carpenter in front of her as the one who had built the house for them, the carpenter asked, "Have you neglected the carpenter who built the house?"

The hostess said, "No... At that time, she regarded the carpenter as her most honored guest every day, so she made fish heads for the carpenter to eat every day."

It turns out that the local custom is to eat fish heads for the most honored guests, not to neglect them.

The carpenter felt guilty, never thinking that he had misunderstood the family back then.

So, deciding to help the hostess break bad luck, he went to the house where the human hand was drawn and drove a nail. After that, the family flourished again.

From this, there is a folk saying that you can't mess with a carpenter, because if you mess with a carpenter, or those who have read the "Book of Luban".

They will use insidious spells against you. It can be seen that the magic recorded in the "Book of Luban" also reflects the ruthlessness of the spells recorded in it.

A single hand can change the fate of a family.

"So," Liu Siya said, "ordinary people, how can they not be afraid of those who have read the Book of Luban?"

There are too many similar stories of this kind, in fact, I also saw many people using the things in the "Book of Luban" to harm people in Granny Bai's notes.

Especially the carpenters of the last century, most of them were oppressed by the owner's family.

Because in those days, no... Perhaps, from ancient times to the present world, there is a guarantee for salary.

In the previous era, some arrogant business owners bullied people, and it was always a twist and turn for carpenters to ask for wages.

And the carpenters of the old times did not have a high status in society.

Perhaps it is because of this that Lu Ban compiled and handed down the "Lu Ban Sutra"... In this regard, I also indirectly understand the reason for the compilation and transmission of the "Book of Luban".

And at the same time.....

"Jiang Cheng," Liu Siya stood up and comforted, "Don't take it to heart yourself." After all, people are afraid of the unknown... And you think, it has been said since ancient times that the sword is the gentleman of a hundred weapons, because the sword has always pointed the blade of the sword at himself and at others... In the end, good and evil depend on the person who wields the sword. Don't care about the eyes of the world, as long as you don't do evil and don't harm others... What happened to reading "The Book of Luban"?"

Liu Siya smiled, straddled me and teased, "I think you're pretty good tonight... That thunder, it was so loud, it scared me to death!"
