Then a scene on the table that left the three of them stunned appeared.
The lid of the erected suitcase was pushed open from the inside like a door, and then a shining golden paper man under the light tube walked out with a helmet on his head.
"This this……"
The Gao family and his wife were shocked and speechless.
Gao Jingkun stood up with surprise on his face and asked:
"Xiao Fei, did you succeed?"
Gao Jingfei smiled proudly and nodded:
"Yes, I succeeded, Aludiba, give your grandparents a gift!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little man in golden armor showed a smile, hugged his fists towards Gao Wenbin and his wife, and then bowed deeply.
He brought Aludiba back with this in mind, and of course also because of the successful sacrifice just now.
"This, this is impossible! Xiaofei, are you inviting some kind of god?"
As a rural woman, Dong Aiwan obviously had her own understanding of this situation. She thought it was the kind of magic that was used to invite gods and immortals in folklore, so she hurriedly stood up to avoid this ceremony and said.
Gao Jingfei smiled and comforted his mother and said:
"Mom, don't be afraid. This is a psychic paper man created by me through magic sacrifice. It is my guardian Taoist soldier. I am like his father, and he doesn't have much thinking ability. His IQ is about the same as
He's just like a kitten or a puppy, so you don't have to worry about anything, he can be considered a member of our family!"
After hearing this, Dong Aiwan quickly patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Wenbin, who was stiff and clenched his fists, quietly relaxed and scolded his son.
"Where did you kid learn these ridiculous things? It almost scared your mother, you know?"
"Why are you so loud? Don't scare your son and, and this..."
However, Dong Aiwan was obviously more accepting of these superstitious things than her husband. After she calmed down, she curiously pulled her son and asked:
"Xiao Fei, what is the name of your paper man called Diba? Is it similar to the spiritual officials enshrined on Maoshan Mountain and the heavenly soldiers and generals recruited by Master Dedao?"
Gao Jingfei didn't expect that his mother would guess the details of the paper man right away.
"Mom, have you ever seen heavenly soldiers and generals?"
"I have never seen heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, but I heard them from the old Taoists when I went to offer incense. I even offered incense to Grandpa Lingguan! Your grandfather also loved telling these mythical stories when I was young. After all, my hometown is in Danyang.
, not far from Maoshan, and I have some friendship with the Taoist priests on the mountain near my hometown."
After listening to his mother's words, Gao Jingfei vaguely remembered that his grandfather's family lived in a village under Danyang County not far to the west. It was only about half an hour's drive from Maoshan.
Because Maoshan spans two prefectures, Danyang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture, it is very convenient for people from these two areas to go to Maoshan, and the folk religious atmosphere is also very strong.
When I was a child, my mother and grandfather took me to Maoshan and nearby temples to offer incense and worship to gods.
It's just that he was still a few years old at that time, and he didn't have the chance to go there after he entered elementary school. So he didn't have a deep impression of it.
So he explained: "My paper man is indeed a method used by Taoist masters to summon heavenly soldiers and generals to sacrifice and refine the Taoist soldiers who protect the law. However, it is still relatively low-level and needs to be continued to be refined before I can be called that kind of heavenly soldiers and generals."
Thousands of years of belief cannot be overthrown by decades of modern materialist education. Therefore, people like Dong Aiwan, who comes from a Maoshan family, basically believe in it even if they are thirty years old and above.
Even young students, although they are more skeptical and may not really believe it, will still avoid it to some extent.
When Dong Aiwan heard what her son said, she immediately said happily:
"It turns out that my son has also become a fairy! He must have inherited my genes. After all, our family has lived at the foot of Maoshan for generations, so it is easy for him to be born with immortality..."
Gao Wenbin lives in the north, and the traditional folk customs are much weaker than those in the Jiangnan area. In addition, he is from the army, so he has always scorned these sacred things.
However, his wife is a devout believer after all, and Taoist beliefs are in line with the traditional concepts and customs of the Xia people, and are not as extreme as those from outsiders, so Gao Wenbin is not disgusted.
He asked his son:
"Xiao Fei, is this why you were hired as a consultant by the government?"
Gao Jingfei nodded to his father and said:
"Yes, of course this is just one of my abilities. I also have martial arts and other skills, such as this!"
As he spoke, he took out a playing card from his pocket, and with a flick of his finger, the card was set on the white wall opposite the main room.
This kind of old-fashioned whitewashed walls can only be seen in some old houses in rural areas. Most of the houses built after the early 2000s are covered with wallpaper or latex paint.
Because of the age, the paint and putty have become a little loose due to moisture. Not only was the card inserted into the wall by an inch, but a piece of wall covering the size of a copper coin also fell off around it.
"Is this a hidden weapon?"
Gao Wenbin was surprised, and an idea suddenly arose in his heart, because martial arts and other things were very attractive to him, a middle-aged man who came from the army.
However, when I saw the damaged wall, the thought of being diligent and frugal came back to me, and I turned around and scolded my son:
"You kid, if you want to show us flying cards, you don't know how to find some other targets. Look at this wall. Do you still need me to repair it?"
Gao Jingfei smiled coquettishly and said, "Dad, look at the wall in our house that hasn't been repaired in eight or nine years. It's almost rotten. Why don't we repair it together with the bathroom and toilet."
Gao Jingkun also said:
"That's right, Second Uncle. You see, most of the other families in the village built their houses a few years ago, and a dozen or so families built small Western-style houses. Now that Xiaofei can make money, you and your aunt should also enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren.
!”
Gao Wenbin was still stroking his chin and thinking about whether to repair the house. As the virtuous wife of the head of the family, Dong Aiwan, who usually made the final decision on small matters, heard Gao Jingkun's words and thought about it. She immediately slapped the table, scaring the three men.
Jump.
"Repair, let's repair this old house and let Aunt Li and Sixth Sister-in-law take a look at it. Our Gao family will also become prosperous..."
It is rare to see his mother be so energetic. Gao Jingfei knows that this is because the rural women in the village usually like to gossip about other people's families, but his father is an outsider who settled down later, and he has an upright personality and does not like to talk to others.
People have the kind of argumentative temper. Although they are not bullied in big matters, my mother has been annoyed by trivial matters over the years, but she can only keep it in her heart.
This time, with this million-dollar reason, I must feel proud.
Gao Jingfei originally wanted to honor his parents, so he naturally supported his mother even more, and said with added jealousy:
"Yes, mom is right. As a junior, I have heard the gossip of those women in the village. Our family has been keeping a low profile for so many years. It's time to show the strength of my Gao family! By the way, I can also vent my anger and let those
Go ahead and be envious, those who gossip!"
Dong Aiwan immediately hugged her eldest son and kissed him on the head.
"What a good son I am!"
Then she turned around and scolded her husband:
"Gao Wenbin, tell me about you. I have been married to you for so many years, but I have been ostracized by this village ever since I returned home. I remember that twenty years ago, I, Dong Aiwan, although I could not be called a rich young lady at home, was still loved by my father and mother.
My brothers have all taken care of me, but after following you, I have suffered from the idleness of those women. If you don’t repair this house today, I will go back to my parents’ house to serve my parents.”
"As for you, huh, I don't want to serve you anymore..."
