Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 48
Jiang Chun told me when I woke up that I had been in a coma for three days and the typhoon had passed. I really didn’t have any serious injuries. My ribs will heal on their own and I don’t need to worry about it. Just avoid strenuous exercise.

When talking about strenuous exercise, Jiang Chun seemed disappointed.I thought to myself, why are there so many womanizers around me? Thinking about it, Jiang Shan can be regarded as a normal person.

"Where are they?" I asked Jiang Chun.

She put down the half-peeled apple in her hand and said, "They were here last night. You woke up when I came to replace them. Are you dreaming of marrying a wife?" Jiang Chun is a very optimistic person. Well, if it were Jing Jing, she would probably have runny nose and tears.

"Can I be discharged from the hospital today?" I sat up a little, and found that there was nothing serious about me, except that my ribs were a little painful when I was panting.

She said that the doctor said that I would be fine when I woke up, so I immediately asked her to clean me up and leave the hospital in the afternoon.Get to Zhao Bo's house before dark, or our visit this time will be in vain.

She didn't hesitate, quickly put away my clothes and asked me to change them.

"Yo, good taste, red underwear?"

"You get out, hurry up!"

After driving Jiang Chun away, I pulled out the needle in my hand and started changing clothes.Seeing that there was a new wound on his left arm, he shook his head helplessly. It seemed that this time he really had to go to Jiang Nianqing for a tattoo.The scars of these two sticks are really ugly.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Peng and Sun Hao were walking downstairs in a daze.The fat aunt saw that I was fine, so she hurried out of the counter, and her husband also put down the newspaper in his hand and came over.

"Hey, little brother, you are so powerful at such a young age! Don't tell me, there is really no strange movement at night, and I don't know how to thank you. Put it away, it's a little trick." The boss held a thick The big thick red envelope was handed to me.

"No, no, my main purpose of exterminating demons and subduing demons is to uphold justice. How can I collect this money? Besides, you have already paid me for medical expenses." I pushed back.

"Accept it. This is Aunt Fat's wish. You almost lost your life. If you don't accept it, we will feel sorry for you." After speaking, Aunt Fat quickly grabbed the red envelope and stuffed it into my clothes. on my shoulders.Although I wanted to cry out in pain, I still smiled and held back.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you Fat Aunt!" After speaking, he told Zhou Peng that let's go quickly, and we can't go to Zhao Bo's house empty-handed, we can buy something before we start.

Saying goodbye to Fat Aunt and his wife, we rushed to the market and bought some fruits and other gifts with Fat Aunt's money.While shopping, I saw paper money and ingots and other things placed at the entrance of a supermarket, and told Jiang Chun to buy some, and let's pay homage to Zhao Bo by the way.

"You won't go by yourself?" Jiang Chun curled his lips and looked at me.

"Hey, my head is a little dizzy." Jiang Chun knew that I was pretending, sighed and walked towards the supermarket.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Zhao Bo's house.

Not to mention, his house really has the feeling of a family with withered vines, old trees, faint crows, and a small bridge with flowing water.There are not many dead trees and small bridges, but there are many large and small winding streams.These few hills were filled with ravines and ravines.

The air in the ravine is also very refreshing. If I practice quietly here for a day, my Taoism will probably have a qualitative leap.

"You are Xiaobo's classmates, right?" As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a plainly dressed woman standing in front of the door, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes, you are Zhao Bo's mother?" Sun Hao stepped forward and asked.

"Well, yes, come as soon as you come, look at you, what else are you carrying?" Aunt Zhao looked a little excited, and quickly welcomed us into the house.

Before coming here, I thought whether Zhao Bo's family had to live in an earthen house or something. Unexpectedly, his family lived in a two-story small building, which was like a small villa in the mountains.

"It's really time for you to come. If you came a year earlier, there would be no place to sleep." Aunt Zhao greeted us to eat fruit while saying, "Last year, to catch up with the construction of a new countryside, they built it for us without paying a penny." Xiaoyanglou. Unfortunately, even Xiaobo can’t see it.”

Seeing Aunt Zhao shed tears as she spoke, my heart felt sore.Everyone comforted her sentence by sentence, but who knew that the more she cried, the sadder she became.This child is my mother's darling, and I'm not wrong at all.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, I strolled outside to get some air, but I didn't dare to inhale too hard.

"Sit down, and the child's father will come back in a while, and my aunt will beat you up." After she finished speaking, she got up and went to work, and Jiang Chun also went to help out in a sensible way.

"You are Xiaobo's classmates, right?" I was watching the sunset in the distance, but I didn't notice this man who had already entered the yard.

The man looked not much older than us, with a heroic look on his face.Wearing a sackcloth gown, his dark skin looks like the unique complexion of people who have been farming all year round.

"Yes, you are?" I asked.

He smiled and said, "I'm Xiaobo's cousin, and my name is Zhao Xinwei." After he finished speaking, he walked over, and he didn't see until he got close that he was still holding two hares in his hands.

"Smoking?" He said and handed me a cigarette, and then lit it for me.

Seeing me staring at the rabbit in his hand, he smiled and said, "What's the matter? No one in the city has seen this before?"

I shook my head and said that my family is also from the countryside, and my great-grandfather was a hunter in the period of the Republic of China. He ate almost all the game in the mountains, but I didn’t expect to see wild rabbits in this environment. Accident.

"Hey, our side can be regarded as relying on mountains and rivers. In the early years, when this side was not developed into a tourist area, there were still bears on the mountain?" Hearing what he said, I quickly looked around around.He smiled and said that he couldn't see it now, and wondered if the zoo had caught it.

After he stomped out the cigarette on the ground, he said to me: "Okay, let's not talk about it, I will clean up these two things first, and I will add something to you in the evening." After finishing speaking, he entered the house.

When I finished smoking, Zhao Bo's father also came back from the field. Seeing us coming, his face was filled with joy.We exchanged a few words and he went in.

Zhao Bo's father doesn't seem to be very talkative, and he is often at a loss for words, so I don't take it to heart.Father's love is deep, and it seems to be an eternal truth.

Aunt Zhao's food is very delicious, in line with the taste of Northeast people.On the table are not only my favorite dipping pickles, but also some fish and shrimp caught from the stream. Zhou Peng really shakes his cheeks and molars, and gulps down his stomach.

Seeing Zhou Peng eating happily, Jiang Chun rolled his eyes at him, then picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and asked, "What kind of meat is this? It smells so good. Is it pork ribs?"

"I think you look like ribs, but this is a rabbit." I said to Jiang Chun who was munching on a piece of rabbit meat, "Can you stop babbling, it's too rude."

"Ah? Bunny is so cute, why do you eat it? It's so delicious, eh."

Everyone was amused by what this little fairy said.

In the evening I made an exception and drank two taels of white wine, not for anything else, just for my short-lived brother.

After dinner, the four of us walked out.I asked about the location of Zhao Bo's grave, and planned to burn some paper there.Aunt Zhao was a little worried when she heard that, she said that Zhao Bo's grave was in the mountains, and she asked Zhao Xinwei to go with us for fear that we would not find it.

Zhao Xinwei readily agreed, but he told us on the way that there might be foxes and weasels on the mountain, so don't point your fingers at them and don't disturb them.

I knew these taboos and repeated them to the three of them.When they heard me open my mouth, they all nodded desperately.

The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the zen house has deep flowers and trees.

As soon as he entered the forest, Zhou Peng began to chant poems and complain, saying why the trees grew so densely?Almost tore his clothes off.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I took a look at the surrounding environment. Although I don't know Fengshui, the surrounding plants are lush and lush, there is mountain spring water on the side, and there is a mountain depression over there for ventilation. It’s a treasure land of geomantic omens where the wind gets the wind and the water gets the water. Zhao Bo is buried here, it’s definitely right.”

After listening to my words, Zhao Xinwei agreed and said: "I didn't expect you to understand this. When I asked Mr. Feng Shui to read it, I seemed to be talking in this vernacular."

I said to myself, these are all from the formulas prepared by my master, they are purely fooling people.

After walking around on crutches for more than half an hour, I had already started to pant, but I didn't dare to breathe hard, as it hurt to move.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Chun saw that I had stopped, and hurried over to ask me.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired, it's okay, let's go." I gritted my teeth and continued walking.

Suddenly, a yellow light flashed in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see what it was.Turning to look at the three of them, they didn't seem to notice it, so they didn't take it to heart, guessing, it was a weasel or something.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons.Although the mountain is not big, I can feel a spirit wandering in the mountains.I pray silently in my heart, don't meet any animals that have become climates again, in my current state, I can't deal with them.

"arrive."

Seeing Zhao Bo's grave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Zhao Xinwei cleaned up the dead branches and leaves around, and signaled that we can start preparing to burn paper.

Zhao Bo's tomb doesn't look very spectacular, but it is very upright.Some distance in front of the stele, there is something like a hearth made of cement.

It should be specially built to avoid the fire running outside when the paper is burned.Everyone put the ingots and paper money in it.Zhou Peng also placed fruits, incense, and wine in front of the tombstone.

When Zhao Xinwei signaled us to light the fire, I lit one, then went to ignite another pile, and then threw this one on the ground to honor the ghosts.

The flames illuminated our faces, and we all paid silent tribute to Zhao Bo.Only I was praying that nothing would happen, because when I came out, I didn't bring any magical artifacts.

Soon, the paper money was burned.When the flames were basically extinguished, Zhao Xinwei turned around and told us to go back.But when I turned around, I realized something was wrong.

"One, two, three, how come there are six people!"

I didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of scaring them, I quickly thought about how many people came out when I went out just now.

"What's the matter Thirteen?" Sun Hao looked back at me with a look of horror, walked towards me, and couldn't help asking me.

I made a silent gesture to him, walked up to him, and asked him to count how many people were in front of me.

When I came here, only Zhao Xinwei was holding a flashlight, and the trees on the mountain were relatively dense, maybe I might have misread something.

"It seems that there is one more person?"

Sun Hao looked at me in horror. After hearing his words, I confirmed the thoughts in my mind and hurriedly followed.Or call names one by one?After thinking about it, it is not feasible.

why?Because there is a bright lamp on the top of the person's head, and a fire on each shoulder.Had their names been called, they might have extinguished the fire on their shoulders by turning their heads suddenly.Demons are evil and may take the opportunity to hurt them.

"What's going on? Thirteen, do you want to call me by name?" Sun Hao said.

I quickly stopped him and explained why I couldn't call them.Then, I quickly thought about how to get rid of the current situation, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought about it.

"Give me your hat." I took a look at Sun Hao's fisherman's hat, which was newly bought. There should be a layer of glue on the outside to make it waterproof.

"what?"

"Let me use it, and besides, it's best not to wear a hat at night, to block the 'light' on your head, and be careful not to be caught by a ghost!" I deliberately frightened him, in order to get his hat, right? live brother.

He took the hat and quickly asked Sun Hao to turn around.Fortunately, when I was eating, I not only drank white wine, but also slipped a bottle of big green sticks.Now I happened to hold back a lot of urine, but luckily my child's body was not broken, otherwise I really couldn't think of any solution.

"You gawk? Why did you pee in my hat?" Sun Hao was a little angry and muttered beside him.

"Don't talk, this is a boy's urine, I'm here to break the law." Finally finished urinating, although the hat is not very waterproof, but I really can't find any better container.

After pulling Sun Hao, he hurriedly chased after him.

"I'm sorry, brothers and sisters. I really have no choice. Just catch the urine." I apologized silently in my heart and suddenly pushed the urine out of the hat.

"I'm sorry, it's raining"

"what is this?"

"Who is it, a bit salty, why are you so coquettish?"

Amidst everyone's complaints, I clearly saw the person behind Jiang Chun, a puff of white smoke suddenly came out of his body, and a thin cry came out of his mouth, and then disappeared with a "bang".

Regardless of whether everyone was scolding me or not, I went straight to the place where the white smoke was coming out just now, and there was a weasel lying on the ground.Rubbing desperately on the ground, it seemed that he wanted to wipe all the urine off his body with dirt.

Zhao Xinwei stepped forward quickly, drew out his dagger and was about to stab him.I hastily stopped him, "No, brother Zhao, you will cause trouble if you do this. This beast has a strong desire for revenge, so don't make trouble again."

Pushing Zhao Xinwei away, I quickly bit off my left index finger and drew a ghost-killing talisman on the heart of my right hand.I don't know if it will work, but give it a try.

"You beast, why are you pretending to be a ghost here? See if I can't kill you!" In fact, I just said this to scare it, and I didn't really want to hurt it.

I saw the yellow-skinned boy stood up suddenly, and began to kowtow to me non-stop.I saw that I was bluffing it, so I continued: "Fortunately, we didn't hurt us today, or I will not let you go. I hope you don't play tricks on others in the future, concentrate on practicing, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, it flew into the woods and disappeared into the night.
