"Mayor Tian, how big is it to replace three citron barks? I can do it. Their carpenter masters have their own rules and regulations. You cannot destroy the trap set up by another carpenter master. Otherwise, you will end up with that carpenter master." We have a deadly feud." Li Zhengkui was very active and would always say something damaging to Shen Rushan.
Shen Rushan was trembling with anger: "Li Zhengkui, don't fart! I don't dare to touch it because I don't know if these three citron peels can be exchanged. I have to ask a Feng Shui master to come over and find out about this Feng Shui bureau. You You don’t know a thing, you changed it randomly, if something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
"Mayor Tian, you see, this Shen Rushan just likes to make excuses. Aren't these three citrons something that is right in front of him? He just wants to talk about this and that, just to scare you so that you don't dare to change." Li Zhengkui said. .
Tian Daosen believed it for a while, and then called his mother-in-law Cao Qin: "Honey, ask someone to help buy three citron peels. If these three citron peels are not replaced, I guess I won't be able to sleep well in the future."
Xiao Dajiang was a little worried and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Taoist Priest: "Master, they won't believe anything you say now. The Feng Shui Bureau has just been changed, so nothing big will happen soon. Moreover, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do this job.”
Not long after, someone sent three citron peels. Li Zhengkui also showed off how to tell Tian Daosen which end was the big end and which was the small end. The citron peels sent were exactly the same width as the original ones, so the original citrons were After the skin is knocked off, three new pieces of citron skin are nailed to the original mark, and it is done. Replace the citron skin, then cover the tiles, clean up the broken and broken tiles, and replace some tiles. , cover it tightly again.
After picking up the tiles, Tian Daosen walked into the house and looked up from time to time to look at the three new citron tiles on the roof. He seemed to feel a little more comfortable.
However, the feeling of the busy Taoist priest in the yard was different from that of Tian Daosen. The three citron peels had just been removed and replaced with three new ones. The Yin Qi in the yard began to condense, and the cold feeling became stronger and stronger.
Wu Songlin, Shen Rushan's young apprentice, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing by, and couldn't help but shiver all over and sneeze.
"Songlin, you just got a little rain, why did you catch a cold?" Zhang Changmin asked.
"Who knows, it was fine just now, but something was wrong after being blown by the cold wind." Wu Songlin rubbed his nose.
Shen Rushan was very dissatisfied with Xiao Dajiang: "Dajiang, I knew I shouldn't have called you here. You see, this incident has caused me to offend Mayor Tian. I will definitely not be able to continue this single job."
Xiao Dajiang said apologetically: "Brother Shen, I'm sorry. But I also have good intentions. Who knew it would end up like this!"
Sure enough, Tian Daosen and his mother-in-law Cao Qin came over soon to talk to Shen Rushan.
"Master Shen, we paid off our wages today. We originally prepared these furniture for my son's wedding. Now that something like this has happened, we don't dare to use these furniture anymore. Who knows what will be left in the cabinet? What is it?" Cao Qin said.
"In this case, forget about the wages. Anyway, we only have a few jobs, so just treat it as helping Mayor Tian." How could Shen Rushan want money from Tian Daosen's family? If this kind of thing hadn't happened, Shen Rushan I'll definitely get paid.
Xiao Dajiang and the Taoist Priest also packed up their things and returned to Xianji Bridge that day. Xiao Dajiang and the Taoist Priest were not as worried as Shen Rushan. Although Xianji Bridge was under the jurisdiction of Taiping Bridge, Xiao Dajiang was an honest farmer. , No matter how great the official Tian Daosen is, he cannot let Xiao Dajiang fail to become a farmer.
However, Shen Rushan is in some trouble. His feet are mainly on the streets of Taipingqiao Town. If he offends Tian Daosen here, it will be difficult to develop business on Taipingqiao Street in the future. Moreover, Tian Daosen and his wife are very likely to spread the word that the carpenter's work is done everywhere. Things that harm people.
Tian Daosen has a son and a daughter. His son Tian Ruiming is 23 years old. After graduating from high school, he worked in the match factory in the town. He fell in love with Zhang Xiufang, a female colleague who also worked in the match factory, and planned to get married. Tian Daosen's daughter Tian An Feng goes to college in the provincial capital and has a greater future.
When Tian Ruiming came home from get off work, he went to bed. Suddenly he felt like someone was staring at him. He quickly opened his eyes and broke into a cold sweat all over his body.
"Ruiming, why are you sweating so much?" Cao Qin looked at her son who was sweating profusely with some strangeness.
"Mom, why does our family feel weird today?" Tian Ruiming said.
Cao Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked: "What's weird? Is it different from usual?"
"It feels very cold at home today. It's chilly everywhere," Tian Ruiming said.
"You kid, you were sweating profusely just now, why do you still say it's freezing at home?" Cao Qin said.
Tian Ruiming shook his head: "It's true, my home feels eerie."
Tian Daosen said seriously: "Don't be suspicious. Fortunately, you are still in high school, why are you still so superstitious?
"How can I be so suspicious? Really, as soon as I came back, I felt chilly in the room. Oh, that's right!" Tian Ruiming sneezed.
After dinner, Tian Ruiming returned to the room. Only then did Cao Qin talk to Tian Daosen about her worries.
"Dawson, do you think what the kid said during the day today is true? Is the courtyard of our house really a haunted place by five ghosts?" Cao Qin asked.
"It's nonsense. We are all state cadres. Don't listen to those feudal superstitions in the countryside. If word spreads, it will have a serious impact on my political life." Tian Daosen said.
"What are you doing so seriously in your own room? I think Ruiming is right, it's quite chilly in this room today." At this point, Cao Qin shivered for no reason.
In fact, Tian Daosen had felt it a long time ago, but how could he have the nerve to say it out loud? Those carpenters were all driven away by the couple. Others worked for several days without being paid a penny. Now he is asking for help. , Tian Daosen can’t lose face. How about removing the tiles from the house tomorrow and then put the three pieces of citron peel back in?
That night, the family went to bed early. But in the middle of the night, Tian Ruiming rushed out of the room screaming: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost!"
Tian Daosen and his wife were also shocked.
"Are you crazy? It's midnight!" Tian Daosen was very angry. He didn't sleep well all night. Just as he fell asleep, he was woken up by Tian Ruiming.
"Dad, Mom. The house is not clean! When I was sleeping just now, I always felt like someone was staring at me. Then someone was pressing on me and I couldn't get out my breath." Tian Ruiming had never experienced this kind of situation before.
