Chapter 67: The Snake Plague

There is a table of eight immortals at home, and Zhang Zhaohua has an old newspaper on it, which Zhang Youping took from Zhang Dechun's house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoZhang Dechun is the village party secretary, and Zijiang Daily, the only newspaper ordered by the village, has basically become Zhang Dechun's own newspaper. In this era, a lot of things are packaged, mainly with paper. Newspaper paper is much better than straw paper. So, everybody likes to wrap things in old newspapers. Liu Qiaoye also asked Zhang Youping to go to Zhang Dechun's house to ask for a few newspapers and put them at home to wrap things.

The table of the Eight Immortals is very high and is equipped with four benches. Zhang Zhaohua is considered a medium height in the first grade, and in front of the Eight Immortals table, he can show his head, and if he wants to draw talismans on the table, his natural height is very insufficient. Zhang Zhaohua could only climb onto the stool, kneel on the bench, pouted her butt and lay on the table.

Zhang Youping and his family came back from outside, looking at Zhang Zhaohua's funny appearance, they couldn't help but giggle.

Zhang Zhaohua heard her father's laughter and glanced back.

"Cub, what are you doing here?" Zhang Youping put down the farm tool in his hand and walked over. Liu Qiaoye was busy with housework.

"Today, I drew a house talisman in the school and sold it to Mr. Gong. Well, he gave five dollars. Zhang Zhaohua took out a crumpled bill from his pocket.

"You kid, where can you ask the teacher for money. If he asks for your talisman, you give it to him. Zhang Youping smiled bitterly and patted the cub on the head.

"Didn't you say it, these things are so expensive?" Zhang Zhaohua scratched her head.

"It's expensive. But you can't ask the teacher for money. Zhang Youping said.

"But the old Taoist priest said that we Meishan Shui masters can't work for others for no reason. Otherwise, others will look down on us Meishan Shui Master. Master also said that you should honor your parents, honor your teachers, and support your family. We should pay attention to saving money. "Zhang Zhaohua has experienced a lot with the old Taoist priest in her dreams.

When Zhang Youping heard the sentence of supporting his family, he couldn't help but laugh, and Liu Qiaoye, who was busy in another room, also giggled. She's been listening to the cub all the time.

Zhang called Hua didn't care about his father and mother laughing at him, he seriously drew the talisman, the graphics of this house talisman are very complicated, a little careless, it will draw the rune wrong, in the dream, when Zhang called the flower to draw the talisman, but he was beaten a lot. The harder the fight, the more painful it was, and the deeper the memory. Zhang Zhaohua didn't understand why she was beaten so hard in her dreams, and she was able to remember it as well.

"Cub, return the five dollars to the teacher tomorrow. How can we ask for the teacher's money? By the way, I don't know what's going on today, everyone says that you see snakes everywhere, you should be careful outside. Always watch out for snakes. Zhang Youping advised.

At this time, snakes are moving less and less, and it is difficult to encounter snakes in the wild. But today there was something unusual, and the snake that should have been hiding actually came out.

Zhang Zhaohua heard her father's words, and she had a wit in her heart, "It can't be provoked by this morning's incident, right?"

Zhang Youping stood at the table of the Eight Immortals and watched the cub seriously mix cinnabar and other raw materials into rune ink, and then draw a very complex and extremely mysterious rune on the yellow paper.

It took forty or fifty minutes to draw a house talisman, and after the drawing, you had to recite a spell to activate the house talisman. It is then folded into a triangle and pressed under the incense burner on the shrine.

Zhang Youping was a little skeptical about the usefulness of the house talisman drawn by the cub at first, after all, the cub is so small, although he does understand a little bit of the spell of the water master, the Tao should not be high. But after the cub placed the house talisman, he suddenly felt a very relieved feeling in his heart. Zhang Youping didn't know if this was his delusion.

In this era, despite the availability of electric lights, most people in Meiziao still follow the law of life of sunrise and sunset. By eight or nine o'clock, it was already completely dark, and the lights were still on in the village except for the homes with televisions, and the other farmers were either watching TV in other people's homes, or they had turned off the lights and were ready to go to bed. Because cubs are not treated well by the villagers, Zhang Youping and his family never take cubs to other people's homes to watch TV. The family has saved some money and is ready to buy a TV for the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't listen to much classes in school, and she didn't know that she still had homework after class. So it's okay to get back home. After drawing a talisman, I felt a little tired, took a hot bath, climbed into bed and went to sleep.

This night was really a little nervous for Gong Ziyuan. In the afternoon, seeing that the corners of the school were densely covered with snakes, Gong Ziyuan was in a very bad mood. It was a night of fear. Some regretted that they didn't follow Zhang Shunlin's advice in the afternoon and went to their house for one night.

But it's strange to say, since I entered the room, my heart has been a lot quieter. After carefully inspecting the room to see if there were any snakes in the room, he leaned against the bed frame with a book in his hand and read it. I don't know if it's because I've not been sleeping well lately, Gong Ziyuan felt a little sleepy after reading a book for a while. I lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Early in the morning, the roosters of every household in Meiziao began to crow, announcing the beginning of a new day in Meiziao. However, on this day, the atmosphere of Plum Pass was a little different from usual.

The mute family has been crammed into the old house with their grandparents because the house was burned. Early in the morning, Ma Jinxiu got up to do housework. However, before he walked into the pigsty in the backyard, Ma Jinxiu let out a high-pitched scream.

"Snake, snake!"

When Ma Jinxiu stepped into the pigsty, he found several snakes hanging on the pigsty roof, and Ma Jinxiu almost didn't meet the nearest snake. A cursory glance around the pigsty revealed several snakes. Ma Jinxiu hurriedly withdrew from the pigsty. found that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground.

Zhang Benrui hurriedly walked out, "What's going on? What's going on? Mother-in-law, what's going on?"

Ma Jinxiu's face was pale, she couldn't say a word, and pointed to the pigsty with her hand.

Zhang Benrui was about to walk into the pigsty, but was hugged by Ma Jinxiu, "Don't go, don't go, snakes, there are so many snakes!"

Zhang Benrui hurriedly stopped and looked through the crack in the door, ah! There was indeed a snake hanging in the pigsty, and it was still spitting out a message to the door.

When Zhang Shunlin was in the school vegetable patch in the afternoon, he was also frightened, and he didn't fall asleep much all night, and in the early hours of the morning, he closed his eyes slightly. I hurriedly got up and found a flashlight to shine under the bed, and almost scared my soul. A thumb-thick black snake was found under the bed!
