Chapter 20: Outwitting the Grain Truck

Mengjia Village is located on the north bank of the source of the Songhua River, downstream of Songhua Lake, and under the western slope of the Fengman Power Plant. It is the hinterland of Suzaku Mountain in Jiangcheng.

This river city was built in the Yuan Dynasty, and the architectural pattern is unusually mysterious. According to the principles of Taoism, it is the reproduction of the Bagua diagram. The Songhua River is like a huge yin-yang fish, forming a large S curve and passing through the city. It is the line of yin and yang fish in the gossip diagram, there is Longtan Mountain in the east, Mopan Mountain in the west, there is Vermilion Bird Peak in front, and Xuantian Ridge in the back, which is in response to the Taoist Feng Shui saying that "the former Vermilion Bird, the rear Xuanwu, the left Qinglong, the right White Tiger" since its completion, with the auspicious Bulin as the starting luck, plus the Qianlong Emperor and the imperial pen book "Songhua River Song". Qin ordered to add the name of "Copper Gang Iron Bottom", so although this place is located at the outlet of Songhua Lake, there is no flood after hundreds of years.

The ancestor of Lu Sigou, the commander of the Yellow Association, was a man who knew feng shui very well, and in the hinterland of Vermilion Bird Mountain, he found a treasure house, and really wanted to obtain the protection of Xuan Ling, and let future generations become famous. Who knew that now there is a fake Lu Sigou, and the common people call Lu Sigou a dead dog. Although this dogleg is bad and treacherous, he is filial to his old mother and obedient.

For a year, Mrs. Lu was in a trance and had hysteria. In broad daylight for no reason, he ran naked into the yard and ran wildly, talking crazy. It is said that the gods of Songhua Lake dreamed of him, let him come out to kill demons and monsters, apply rain and wind, and run outside in winter, to throw himself into the river to see the dragon king, and borrow the dragon king's demon sword to kill all the ghosts and ghosts.

For a while, the Lu family was so disturbed that the chickens and dogs were not at peace. For this reason, the dead dog asked someone to choke and invited Mr. Four and Mr. Wang Wuye. This day is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the folk custom is the day of the young man, and the king of the stove said good things to heaven.

In this year, what good things and bad things have been done by this big family, the king of the stove sitting on the stove offering board has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. On this day, the prince of the stove sent to Lu Sigou's house will also go to heaven to hold a year-end debriefing meeting and report to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor formulated a plan of rewards and punishments based on what this family had done. So, how to debrief? It depends on how the owner of this house treats this subordinate cadre on weekdays. If you ignore him on weekdays, don't get close to the leader, don't honor and bribe, provoke him to be here with you for a year, and you don't get any benefits, and the family is either noisy or scolding the street, this time you finally found an opportunity to get angry, do you think he will say good things for you?

No matter what, every family has to temporarily hug Buddha's feet in the morning, toast the old god to kill chickens, and put some candy and other tributes, so that after he is used, he will go to the Jade Emperor to speak sweetly and say some good things for himself.

Over time, this folk custom became a festival. Xiao Nian'er eats rice cakes and buys stove candy on this day, which is a symbol.

Mr. Wang Si and Wang Wuye were led into the room of Mrs. Lu in the Lu Mansion by Lu Sigou, and saw that the room full of worshippers were dozens of immortals in the upper eight caves. They are the Buddha of the West Heaven, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the Two Immortals of Fox and Huang, and the City God of the Three Towns and Eight Townships, and the Lingxian Er.

Mr. Wang Si and Wang Wuye sat down in turn, and the dog hurriedly ordered someone to offer tea and cigarettes, and said, "It is said that the two gentlemen have great magical powers and boundless mana. My mother has been ill for more than a year, and I have seen many immortals, but it has not worked, if the two gentlemen can solve my mother's illness, I Lu will do my best to repay it. 〝

Mr. Wang Si waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if the two of us are powerless, the key is that I can let the old lady tell the solution, and then prescribe the right medicine, so that the condition can be reversed and the desired effect can be obtained." Lusgo nodded, "So what else do we need to prepare?" Please two gentlemen, just ask! 〝

Mr. Wang Si still waved his hand and said, "There is no need for anything else, today is the day of the grand meeting in the Heavenly Palace, and many of the immortals on your stage have gone to the meeting to report on their work, so I want to invite a little fairy to say something considerate to your old lady, as long as you can open the knot in your heart, the suspicion will disappear." When we came in, we saw that you were guarding outside the door, and they were all loaded with guns and ammunition, which really disturbed the interest of the fairy family. All you need to do is remove the guards and prepare the wedding feast. You are to accompany you here, and the maids and servants are not to intervene. Set up a shed outside, all the pedestrians and beggars who pass by today must give alms tea and rice, and after the evening of the day, the king of the stove will return to his position, and the old lady will be healed! When he heard this, he looked at the old mother, and saw that the lady's eyes were like lightning, shining brightly. Lu Sigou saw that there was a cold war, "No, don't arrange it yet!" Don't make me mad at you! As soon as the lady said this, Lu Sidou immediately instructed the housekeeper to follow the plan, and in the entire upper room, the doors and windows were closed, and the curtains were closed, and suddenly the candlelight in the house was dim, and the air was extremely strange.

Mr. Wang Si moved to the front of the old lady and said, "Old lady Lu, the little fairy is a volley Taoist on Phoenix Mountain, I have watched you for a long time, and I can't solve it all day long, today the immortals in the upper and lower eight caves all went to the heavenly court to attend the meeting, and it happened that the house was free, so I dared to enter the treasure house, what do you have to understand, you can explain it to this Dao, I can choose the opportunity to declare the reason with the sect leader, and keep you safe!" When he had finished speaking, let Lu Sigou kneel on the ground and face the old lady. Let the old lady fold her hands and hold a yellow paper talisman written by Mr. Wang Si in her palm, Wang Wuye took out a small mahogany drum from her bag and beat it.

Mr. Wang Si said in a heartfelt manner: "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit!" This way sat down and asked the immortals, what bothered Lumen Mansion, and provoked the lady to be restless. Today, I prepare wine and food to honor the immortal monarch, and I have to be clean at this time. The gods are afraid of losing their words when they are here, and they have to hesitate tonight. Regardless of the difficulty or difficulty, Lu Men was respectful. If the immortal is not respectful, he will be rewarded in an instant. "Wang Wuye's small drum is as tight as a burst. But I saw the candlelight flickering on the incense table, the burning sandalwood, the starlight jumped, and the incense ashes scattered outside the furnace. Old Madam Nalu's hands trembled, her facial expression flickered with joy and sorrow, and finally she burst into tears, and two lines of old tears poured out.

Outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, all the families were busy, setting up sheds, setting up tables and chairs, and the guards unarmed and going to eat, drink, and play cards.

Outside the gate, there are teapots and water bowls for hospitality. On the table, fruits, sweets, and all kinds of colors are available.

Qin Yue and Zhang Haishan and other six people, pretending to be beggars and merchants selling needles and threads, respectively, drank tea and ate snacks here. Qin Yue and the two young men pretended to be woodcutters, stood the firewood in the corner, and the housekeepers who arranged the tables and chairs outside the door said, "Hey! Now that the sun is coming out of the west, the Lu family is setting up a food shed to do good deeds and accumulate virtues? 〝

The big man said, "The proprietor is giving alms to the old lady today, and no matter who it is, the guests who pass by can enjoy it." Pray for the old lady! 〝

At this time, passers-by, as well as pedestrians who go to Suzaku Mountain to burn incense, all come here in an endless stream to rest and drink tea, and take some rice cakes and sweeteners, and the scene is very lively.

"Si Gou my son, you unfilial brute! You have been doing evil all day long, violating the ancestral teachings, and now you are helping to abuse and destroy the feng shui of the land of Longxing, so I was locked by the dragon king, and I am at the bottom of the Songhua River. They torture me every day, and I am bruised and cold, so my soul is tormented in your mother's body, and I have no rest all day long. But you spend all day drinking and drinking, trying to harm living beings, burning people's houses, destroying people's homes, your devilish masters, exterminating human nature, adultering people's wives and daughters, dishonoring our ancestors, and making our father's souls suffer! When the dog heard this, he fell on his knees and kowtowed. He trembled, his face was dripping with sweat, and he stammered, "Father, I can hear your voice, it is the son who is unfilial, the son is guilty, and he has done those unfortunate things, but sometimes the son is helpless!" Do you know that the devil Koizumi put my son and daughter-in-law under house arrest in Japan under the pretext of letting my son go to school? What can you make your son do? 〝

The old lady pointed at Lu Sigou with trembling hands and said, "You look at your mother's crazy way every day, that is your ancestor punishing you, you have done so many things, where in the world do you still have the face to be?" If you continue to recognize the thief as your father and harm the innocent, you will surely be in the wilderness of corpses, and even the corpses will be eaten by dogs and wolves, and you will not die well. 〝

Lu Sigou really had his head knocked on his head, blood and sweat melted together, and he replied frequently: "My son remembers, I will do my best to protect the land and the people, and not do evil things, so that my mother can recover and avoid suffering!" The lady calmed down a little, and said, "You rebel, listen well." From now on, do not do anything that is contrary to your conscience, and tell your mother that she will not allow you to do anything. Otherwise, the whole family will be ruined at your hands. Luce burst into tears, "No matter how bad I am, I won't kill people, it's all those little Japanese children, they are brutal children, and I am helpless, from now on, I promise to avoid it, and let it go!" People are doing it in the sky, and the sky is watching, do my best."

Mr. Wang Si heard the conversation between their mother and son, and thought in his heart how to further control the next step.

People drinking tea and eating sugar cakes outside are gathering more and more. At this time, three cars drove from the southwest, with plaster flags on them, and a Japanese officer sitting in front of the car shouted at the crowd: "You guys! What a job! Eight tooth paths! Hurry up and open the way, open the way! "The driver was honking his horn non-stop.

At this time, Qin Yue walked to the car with a plate of rice cakes and stove candy, and the officer drew his saber, pointed at Qin Yue and said, "Where are you working?" Open the way. 〝

Qin Yue smiled and said, "Today, the work of the young year, the work of Taijun eating rice cakes, sweet, sweet." As he spoke, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, with a look of satisfaction and joy on his face.

The officer smiled suspiciously, "Is it delicious?" Then he asked. At this time, Zhang Haishan and the others were on the table on the side of the road, with roast chicken and grilled fish, and the big bowl was full of wine, and they were drinking energetically.

The officer looked up at the sun, then took out his pocket watch from the pocket of his uniform and looked at it. He waved his hand to the people in the car behind him, "Hurry, rice cakes, Mixi, open the road, open the way!" 〝

A total of six people got out of the car, walked to Zhang Haishan's desk, and smashed Zhang Haishan's shoulder with the butt of a gun, "Quickly open the road, open the road!" Taijun's Missy! Missy! 〝

Zhang Haishan and the others stood up, nodded with a smile, and said, "Taijun, please Taijun's Missy!" These guys thought they were at the door of Commander Huang's house, so they relaxed their vigilance, boldly put down their guns, and ate and drank.

In less than two minutes, the six little Japanese children foamed at the mouth and fell to the table, Qin Yue and the other six quickly pretended to help them walk to the car, and said with a smile, "Oh, there are so many delicious foods, why are you in a hurry?" Why do you eat slowly, eat so fast, and why are you in such a hurry? As he spoke, he helped them to the car, and the three drivers quickly changed into the military uniforms of the little devils and sat in the cab, Qin Yue got out of the car, came to the row of stalls, and said to the housekeeper, "The Taijun said that the weather outside was too cold, and I was in a hurry just now, and my stomach hurt, maybe I had a cold, so let you wrap some and go to the construction site above to eat." 〝

The housekeeper trotted around, went to connect chicken, fish and rice cakes, wrapped a big bag, and handed it to Qin Yue. Qin Yue took the baggage, jumped into the car, started the engine, and the three cars quickly drove in the direction of plumpness.

Less than three miles from the construction site, the car turned to the foot of a hill on the surface of the lake, and with a whistle, a dozen or so horses hiding in the col climbed the plow and flew out of the ravine. Everyone scattered the three carts of supplies on the horse climb, and then pushed the car to the pre-made ice eye, and sent the car to the Dragon Palace. Then there was a whistle and disappeared into the snow field of the forest sea.

At this time, the goose feather snow was roaring, and a beautiful battle to intercept grain ended without a single shot. The laughter and the joy of victory were drowned in the flying snow......

Old Madam Lu retracted her figure, suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Lu Sigou who was kneeling on the ground and Mr. Wang Si who was sitting opposite, and said, "What's wrong with me? I only felt a sore feeling all over my body, and my stomach was growling.

Wang Wuye, put away the gongs and drums, opened the curtains, at this time, it was snowing outside, and the bright snow light illuminated the room brightly.

Mr. Wang Si said, "Commander Lu! All these things that you have in your house are missing a sorrowful son."

"Cup! What cup? I sent someone to buy it. "Mr. Wang Si said, "I am not talking about the cups of teacups, but the sorrow of joy and sorrow, the sorrow of grief. According to the terminology of the line, it is the ghost of the deceased ancestors. Your father's soul has not been reborn, trapped by the lake dragon of Songhua Lake, and if you don't carry out the things you promised just now, your great calamity will still not come out, and your mother's disaster will still not be able to retreat, and you will not be able to go to the roots. But if you don't say it, we don't know, and there are some things that you can't control today. But as long as you can straighten your conscience, the sad son just now, that is, your father said when he appeared to the spirit, tell your mother as soon as possible when there is a great event, and maybe he can help you get an idea to get you out of trouble, and look at this old lady, and it will be all right in seven days. If there is a recurrence after seven days, I will find a way to save your father's soul and let him be reborn."

Lu Sigou, thanks to the grace, ordered the housekeeper to take out two hundred silver dollars and handed them to Mr. Wang Si, Mr. Wang Si motioned to Wang Wuye to accept the silver dollars, and said, "I shouldn't have received Lord Lu's money, but if I don't accept it, I won't break the precepts and break the rules of the fairy road." So be it! I'll show you the direction of the stove prince again, which can be regarded as expressing my gratitude. 〝

Mr. Wang Si came to the stove room, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed, "The king of the stove is the head of the family, how can you put it behind the water tank?" He should be sitting north and facing south, and the height of the furnishings should be waist-high. In addition, it is necessary to invite a woman who is located in the stove room to be the head chef, so that you can be in harmony with this.

Lu Gou asked puzzledly, "Sir, are you saying that my family's master is at odds with this stove prince?" "Yes, what's your current chef's name?" Is it male or female, what age? The housekeeper replied: "Master, it's a man, surnamed Shi, Ming Derong, it seems to be fifty-five years old!" 〝

Mr. Wang Si said, "I said, your stove surname is Shi, and you cook meals for your whole family every day. Is he auspicious? Fifty-five years old is golden, and it is even more unlucky to restrain fire! Inappropriate! Inappropriate! In this way, tomorrow I will ask the fifth brother to find you a woman surnamed Guo, she belongs to wood, wood can make a fire, make your family prosperous, everything goes well, I don't know if it is possible? 〝

Lu Sigou thanked him again and instructed the housekeeper to immediately quit the chef surnamed Shi and welcome the new chef to work tomorrow.

At this point, the housekeeper led Mr. Wang Si and the fifth master into the restaurant to have a meal and then went.

On the second day, under the guidance of the fifth master, Guo Laogui and his wife entered the Lu family, laying the groundwork for collecting information after the year. As for seven days later, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Wang Si entered and exited the Lu Mansion again to find out how his father could overstay the undead and obtain the information transmitted by Guo Laogui and his wife.
