Maybe it's the providence of God, although the "Nine Cakes" are blind and can't read a single word, but they have an excellent memory, and they seem to be born as a cultivator. He has a lot of experience in the teachings of the Quanzhen Sect of "unintentional forgetfulness, weakness and quietness, righteousness and sincerity, and less selfishness and few desires", and his ability to divination is unsurpassed. Gradually, the reputation of "Nine Cakes" became bigger and bigger, and it became "Xue Banxian".

According to "Xue Banxian", it was not Lao Feng Tou who killed Teacher Wang, but Mrs. Xue who turned into a "cat-faced fairy girl" after her death a few days ago. The local people still believed in the words of "Xue Banxian", and it spread widely, and soon reached the ears of Fu Changgui, the director of the Wanggang Commune Police Station. The imaginary "cat-faced fairy" killed Mr. Wang? This kind of thing is to say that the world is rich and noble, and I will not believe it. However, we cannot let this kind of rumor go unchecked. Fu Changgui hated "Xue Banxian" for a while, and secretly scolded "Xue Banxian", isn't this demagogic and instability? If "Xue Banxian" hadn't helped Fu Changgui a lot, Fu Changgui really wanted to arrest "Xue Banxian" immediately.

At present, the most important thing is to debunk rumors and stabilize people's hearts. If you want to debunk the rumors, the fact that Mrs. Xue deceived the corpse and became a "cat-faced fairy girl" is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. However, this matter was spread by the common people with noses and eyes, as if it were a real thing. Fu Changgui regretted it a little at this time, and he should have pursued this matter to the end at that time. Now, it's a mess!

When Mrs. Xue died, she had four out of eighty, and she could be regarded as enjoying a long life. After Mrs. Xue died, the body was placed on the door panel of the hall, and before the burial, the men and women were busy with Mrs. Xue's funeral inside and out. If you want to say that there is no coincidence that there is no book, there is an idle Xue Er in Xue Jiatun, and his home is separated from Mrs. Xue's house by a house. Xue Er was stunned and raised a black cat with four white claws, with a pinch of red hair under his neck, which was very beautiful. I don't know who gave this cat a more poetic name, called "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plums". Folklore has it that raising a cat that "treads the snow and looks for plums" will bring bad luck. Some people also say that such a cat is called "four-hoofed snow tread", it is a beckoning cat, and it is very auspicious to raise such a cat, which can bring good luck to the owner of the cat, that is, the shovel officer.

Folklore has it that cats can be psychic, and this is also very popular in the port. Some old ladies sit on the kang, guarding the cigarette basket, holding dry tobacco pouches, and often talk about this topic when the east and west families are chatting for a short time, and they say it in a good way. To sum it up, it is nothing more than saying: "Cats do have psychic!" It can see a lot of dirty things that you can't see, especially black cats. When they are in an empty place, they suddenly arch their backs inexplicably, and their fur also explodes, whining, you have to be careful! ”

There is also a deep theoretical basis for this legend. It is said that cats belong to yin, and their eyes can see spirits. Fu Changgui had experienced this kind of thing, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. It was the wife of an old colleague of his, who was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital in Wanggang Commune, and she couldn't see people dying. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a cat came running around, circling in front of the hospital bed of my colleague's wife, "meow", "meow" and refused to leave. Some relatives said that this was a bad omen, and the cat wanted to take away the soul of the old man, so he drove the cat away. Some relatives said that the cat is here to report the news, so hurry up and prepare for the old man! These relatives can also draw inferences from each other, saying that before the earthquake, chickens and dogs often jump around, because these animals have a premonition that a disaster is coming, and the desire to survive to avoid the disaster overcomes their fear of humans. And the abnormality of the animals also reminds people of impending danger.

After the death of his colleague's wife, Fu Changgui occasionally thought back to this incident and felt incredible. If the cat really came to report the news, the relatives of the colleague should not not accept the cat's kindness and try to chase the cat away. We should hurry up to prepare for the elderly, hurry up to meet the wishes of the elderly, and let the elderly go more at ease as much as possible.

When Xue Erzi raised "Treading the Snow to Find Plum Blossoms", this cat was less than half a month old, and it was Xue Erzi who picked it up from the ice and snow. When the neighbors saw it, they all shook their heads and persuaded Xue Er to throw it away. It is said that black cats are originally hoodoos, and many people's cats will throw away black cats once there are cubs. This kitten must be the cub of someone's cat, and the family was afraid of causing trouble and bringing disaster to their own family, so they threw it into the wilderness. Especially the cat that Xue Er picked up in a daze, his eyes were shiny, he was a thief, and there was a small handful of red hair under his neck, which was even more evil.

Xue Er was stunned, his neck was stalked, and he said: "It is said that cats have nine lives, and if this cat dies in the cold and cold, it doesn't freeze to death in the wilderness, which means that it doesn't deserve to die!" Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and saving nine lives in a pile is equivalent to building a seven-nine-sixty-three story pagoda, which is not a hundred sets stronger than those who eat fasting and chant Buddha! ”

Xue Er was stunned and raised a story of "stepping on the snow to find plums", which soon reached the ears of "Xue Banxian". The person who chewed his wife's tongue also asked "Xue Banxian" to persuade Xue Er to be stunned, don't raise that black cat possessed by the elf. "Xue Banxian" smiled noncommittally, but let the person who chewed his wife's tongue call Xue Er stunned. was able to move "Xue Banxian", and the person who chewed his wife's tongue naturally felt that his face was very big, and he ran to Xue Er's house and reported the news. Xue Er was stunned and made the person who chewed his wife's tongue flickered, and he had a strong porphyry head. Xue Er was stunned that there was water in the melon seeds in the left brain, and in the melon seeds in the right brain was the sand noodles produced by the "Shuanghesheng Fire Mill" in the port.

"Xue Banxian" sent away the person who chewed his wife's tongue, and praised Xue Er with a smile that he was not a big person, but he knew that he had done good deeds and saved the life of a kitten. Those who are so kind-hearted will be blessed in the future. Xue Er was stunned with his hands in his sleeves, and glanced at "Xue Banxian"'s hemp-skinned face full of sincerity, not like he was abusing him. Only then did he wipe the runny nose with his jacket sleeve and said, "Oh, mom...... I didn't have that much first, even poor cats are also a life, it's a pity to freeze to death! Besides, people only run out of food at the beginning of spring, and my family hasn't passed half of this winter, and there are potatoes left! ”

"Xue Banxian" smiled, shook his head and said: "Good is like water, and evil is like fire!" Why bother with you, you stinky boy? For good, you will prosper! If you don't prosper for goodness, there will be aftermath, and if you do everything you can, you will prosper. Evil will come to you! For the sake of evil, there will be more prosperity, and prosperity will be destroyed. ”

Xue Er was stunned and said hatefully: "I'll just say it!" Saving the cat's life is equivalent to building a seventy-nine, sixty-three story pagoda, why is God so short-sighted, and what kind of disaster will come to me! ”

"One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading. Six seven phases and eight worship gods, nine nobles and ten health. "Xue Banxian" shook his head again and said. Then, "Xue Banxian" shook his head, and he also said a lot. Xue Er was stunned for a while, and felt that "Xue Banxian" meant that life in life is not certain, but it can also be said to be certain. How do you say yes? It's like we divide things, you share a share, I share a share, that's a certainty. How can you say not necessarily? For example, you use up your share quickly, and I don't use this one at all, which is not necessarily. That's why it is said that "a gentleman has the science of life-making". You were not born to be told to do evil, but if you do evil, it will change your destiny. You were not born to be told to do good, and if you do good, it can be beyond fate. It is as if a man walks, and is willing to go east, he will go to the east; If you are willing to go west, you will go to the west. In other words, human life is dynamic, not static, and everything is in one's own hands.

Xue Er was stunned and wiped his nose with his jacket sleeve and said, "Uncle, according to what you say, the cat I raise will not bring disaster?" ”

Xue Banxian shook his head and said with a smile: "My life is up to me, and I ask for my own blessing." There is no way to bring good and evil, only people invite themselves. People who say that black cats are ominous, in fact they are wrong! The black cat itself has the ability to drive away evil spirits and break the yin, which is the fate of the black cat. There is a record in ancient Chinese books: Xuan cat, a thing to ward off evil spirits. It is easy to place in the south, and the descendants are easy, and it is easy to move. The black cat is the black cat. You stinky boy has a lot of fate, and the kitten you rescued is an authentic 'black cat'! The black and red one is Xuan, and the red is red, so the Xuanmao is a black cat with red in the black. The cat you saved has a pinch of red fur under its neck, it's a rare civet! Compared with ordinary black cats, the civet cat means auspiciousness, and the ability to town, ward off evil spirits, and attract wealth is very great! ”

The cat raised by Xue Erzi is called "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plums", or it is called "Treading the Snow with Four Hoofs", which did not bring any good luck to Xue Er, but brought unspeakable troubles to the relatives in the Tunzi. Perhaps, just like "Xue Banxian" said, the "disaster" is not finished, so "Chang" has not arrived. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the "treading snow and looking for plums", which is inseparable from Xue Erzi, has also become a veritable old cat. Just a few days ago, the troubles of the relatives in Tunzi came.

On this day, Mrs. Xue died! According to the folk customs of the port, there are many rules, and it is strange not to toss the living to death. Let's say a person dies and has to stop for seven days and seven nights. The first is to wait for relatives from other places to rush back to pay respects to the remains of the deceased; The second is to prevent the resurrection of the deceased from faking their deaths. Old Mrs. Xue was wearing a corpse dressed in old clothes, a shroud and shoes, and she was lying on her back on the mourning bed. The mourning bed was paved with boards, and it was not high. According to Mr. Yin and Yang, the height of the funeral bed depends on the age of the deceased. The older ones are taller, and the younger ones are shorter, but the highest cannot exceed the edge of the kang. No matter how big a dead person is, he can't overwhelm a living person! In particular, the soil kang in the countryside is to sleep on the living, and the dead cannot be higher than the living, which will be taboo and unlucky.

The fabric of the old clothes cannot be satin. Because the homonym of satin is the same as "broken child". Therefore, the common people are very taboo. Mrs. Xue also can't wear leather clothes, and she can't use buttons on her big and small clothes, only sewing streamers. Mrs. Xue can't wear pants yet. Because the pants belong to the "half-cut" pants, if you wear the pants, you will die prematurely in the next life, and you will not live long. In other words, the common people are taboo about "half-cuts", so the pants must be taken off and not worn. Mrs. Xue held two copper coins engraved with "Daoguang" and "Guangxu" in her mouth, which was called "Hanyu" in the folk of the port, which was a good prayer for Mrs. Xue to be rich and noble in the next life. Next to Mrs. Xue's funeral bed, in the "nesting nest" paved with straw, Mrs. Xue's eldest son knelt in it to guard the spirit. The death of Mrs. Xue is a "happy mourning", and the filial piety kneeling in the "nesting nest" shows the righteousness of "crows feeding back".
