On that day, Xindian Ancient Town was a lively and prosperous scene. The streets are all paved with bluestone slabs, which are called slate streets.

Cheng Shijie walked on the bustling stone street, sometimes asking strangers where Qian Wanguan Trading House was, and the stranger raised his hand to point to the bend of the street in front of him, he hurriedly walked over, carefully looked at the several facades at the bend of the street, and clearly did not see it.

Cheng Shijie asked a stranger again, and after his guidance, he walked along the street on the left for dozens of meters, and finally saw a signboard hanging horizontally at the top of a gatehouse, with the words: Qian Wanguan Commercial Bank with five big characters.

When he arrived at the door of Qian Wanguan Commercial Bank, Cheng Shijie saw an empty counter against the wall inside the door, and a young man with a flat head was sweeping the floor with a broom.

Cheng Shijie let go of his voice, hey, are you Qian Wanguan?

The young man said, I am not Qian Wanguan, I am his younger brother Qian Wanhu. What are you looking for him?

Cheng Shijie hesitated for a moment, and then told me, I am Cheng Shijie, the son of Cheng Wanli of Chengjiazhuang, and my father has something to say to your brother. Where is your brother?

Qian Wanhu said, what does your father have to say to my brother, can you tell me about it? When he came, I told him.

Cheng Shijie was stunned for a while and said, I don't know what my father wants to say to your brother. He didn't tell me, he just asked me to invite your brother to my house, and he would naturally tell your brother.

Qian Wanhu said that my brother bought a new storefront, which is this firm, and now he is asking Liu Xiucai of the Shiban Street School to write a rental notice, maybe he will come in a while. As he spoke, he put the broom against the wall, took a chair and put it in the doorway, and said, "Please be seated."

Cheng Shijie said thank you and didn't sit down immediately, but wandered around the door for a moment before sitting down.

Cheng Shijie sat for about half an hour, gossiping with Qian Wantouch, who was still wiping and wiping, and saw that Qian Wanguan had not yet come, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Qian Wanhu raised his hand and pointed: Look, my brother is here. Brother-

Cheng Shijie looked in the direction of his finger, and a slightly larger man who looked like Qian Wanhu and Kuxiao walked over with a cylindrical paper roll in his hand, he was Qian Wanguan. Qian Wanguan also saw Cheng Shijie, a stranger, and Hu deliberately asked Qian Wanhu, what's the matter? He had already walked to the door of the commercial house and looked at Cheng Shijie with his eyes.

Qian Wanhu pointed at Cheng Shijie in front of his brother and said, what is the matter, you ask him.

Cheng Shijie immediately stood up, smiled and asked, are you Brother Qian?

Qian Wanguan said, I am Qian Wanguan, what is the matter with me?

Cheng Shijie said, thank you very much, a few days ago my father lay on the field and fell asleep, if you hadn't handed over a letter to my mother, my father's affairs would have been really unimaginable.

Qian Wanguan said that it should be done, and there is no need to thank you. Seeing that Cheng Shijie was empty-handed and didn't bring any gifts for gratitude, he frowned and asked politely deliberately, is your father okay?

Cheng Shijie said, my father is fine. Three days later, he woke up, and we told him about your rescue. When he heard this, he said he had something to say to you. It seemed like something important, but he didn't tell me. He asked me to come and invite you to my house, and he would tell you privately.

Qian Wanguan turned his head, looked at the door wall of the business house and said, how can I have time to go to your house? This store was bought and used as a commercial house; I also bought a store on East Street, and now I'm busy renting it, so I don't have time to come to your house. He also shook off the paper and said, "Look, my lease notice has been written." looked at Qian Wanhu again and said, Wanhu, you put this leasing revelation on the wall at the door of the commercial house.

Qian Wanhu said, brother, give it to me. He took the lease notice handed to him by Qian Wanguan, and found a bottle of paste, ready to post it.

Cheng Shijie, who was still frozen here and didn't leave, said, Brother Qian, in order to find you, I have been looking for the grocery store on West Street in the city, and I heard that you have already quit your job, and I asked many people before I found here.

Qian Wanguan said "um", what does your father say, tell him to come to me and tell me.

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly and changed the topic, Brother Qian, my father said that he was sent by the ghost of Hades to chisel the stone mill for a few days when he was asleep, and the stone mill was chiseled, and the Hades let him return to Yang.

Qian Wanguan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, is there such a thing? It's kind of interesting. All right! You go back first, tell your father, after I rent out the two stores, I will be a little free, as long as I am free, I will go to your house and see what your father says to me. Of course, it would be better if your father was willing to come to my firm.

Cheng Shijie politely bowed his hand and said, Brother Qian, I must tell my father what you said. Whether he comes to you or not, and I can't be the master, it's up to him to decide.

Qian Wanguan said, okay!

It was a rainy day, and Cheng Wanli squatted in front of his house to count the chisels, chisels, hammers and other tools used to chisel the stone mill. and looked at Gong Juan and said happily, there is no shortage of anything.

Gong Juan said, I found a few people to carry you back from the field that day, and I also brought back the wooden box tools, how could it be missing?

Gong Juan was cleaning the garbage in the yard in front of the house, and when she felt a drizzle falling on her, she ran under the eaves.

Cheng Wanli was using an abrasive cloth to polish the tools of the stone grinding one by one, and sometimes blowing the debris off the tools with a puff of cheeks, and then buried himself in the work, looking concentrated.

As soon as Gong Juan wiped her hands, the drizzle of moisture in her hands volatilized, she looked up at the sky, and then looked down at Cheng Wanli. She said, old man, every time it rains, your back hurts, and you scream. It's a rainy day today, why didn't you hear you say that you have low back pain?

Cheng Wanli suddenly raised his hand and touched his waist, smiled, and then said, alas, why doesn't your waist hurt today? Even I felt strange. In the past, on rainy days, my back hurt so badly that I couldn't do anything, so I only went to Liuzhuang with an umbrella to see Liu Langzhong. He asked me to take some of the medicines he had prescribed, and when I didn't want to take them, he put a plaster around my waist to relieve the pain.

Gong Juan was still talking about Cheng Wanli's usual low back pain. Suddenly, I heard someone called Cheng Stonemason, and it was a man's voice. The two of them looked up, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe carrying a medicine box with a pockmarked face had put away his umbrella and stood in front of him.

Gong Juan said, Liu Langzhong, the old man and I are talking about you, and you will arrive.

Liu Langzhong said, today I was passing by your Chengjiazhuang, and I remembered that Cheng Mason had a low back pain disease, which occurred on a rainy day, so I specially went around to your house and planned to send a plaster Cheng Mason Paste to relieve his pain.

Gong Juan smiled sullenly, smiled and smiled, and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Cheng Wanli said politely, Liu Lang sat in the middle room, thank you for caring about me.

Liu Langzhong stood still, but he was seriously surveying Cheng Mason. And say, you don't hurt as much as you used to today, do you?! I don't see you have any uncomfortable expressions.

Cheng Wanli said, it's weird today, it doesn't hurt at all. He also reached out and patted his waist.

Liu Langzhong said, have you seen another Langzhong recently?

Cheng Wanli shook his head.

Gong Juan said that he had been in a coma for three days, and after listening to his own story, he went to the underworld and woke up, saying that he had been digging stone mills in the underworld for the past three days, and that the Yin official in charge of the torture equipment had paid him a 1,000 honorarium, but he could not bring it to the yang world.

Cheng Wanli said that what my wife said was true. When I woke up, I felt very comfortable, and it was a rainy day until today, and it was not like usual when a rainy day arrived, and my back hurt badly. I was a little disappointed that the Yin official in charge of the torture equipment did pay me 1,000 hanging money, and I clearly remember putting it in the blanket on my body, but after returning to Yang, I couldn't find it after rummaging through my body.

Liu Langzhong said happily, then I congratulate you, you don't have to look for it. You still indirectly got the 1,000 gratuity of Hades, and it was better to bring it back to the yang world than to bring it back to the yang world. According to my inference, you chiseled a stone grind for Hades, which is worth 1,000 yuan, and Hades may have secretly sent a Yin doctor to cure you of your back pain. I will treat your low back pain, and let you decoction multiple pairs of Chinese medicine, and its value is just enough to pay 1,000 yuan. It can be seen that you have not suffered a loss, and the 1,000 hanging money is exactly offset by the value of the Yin doctor treating your disease.

Cheng Wanli kept nodding and said, it could be.

Liu Langzhong said with certainty that it was absolutely true.

Gong Juan also helped, Liu Langzhong's analysis is very reasonable, I agree with this statement. Let's go into the house and sit and have a cup of tea! Eat at my house at noon.

Lieutenant General Liu Lang put it at his feet, prepared to open the medicine box for the plaster, and said, Since Cheng Mason's back pain has recovered, I should leave. There may still be patients waiting for me to go back to my doorstep!

Gong Juan said, then I won't keep you.

Liu Langzhong opened the umbrella, said hello to the two of them, and turned to leave.

Cheng Wanli watched him walk through the field and gradually drift away......
