591.Chapter 591: Buying a box and returning the pearl
"Okay, since you said so, let's start working!" A group of big men actually coerced a family without a backbone, which made Chen Xiao feel particularly sad. Chen Xiao sighed: "Old man, you don't care.
Tube?"
"How can I take care of other people's housework?" The old man took a puff of his cigarette disdainfully and said, "I have encountered this kind of thing a lot. What's even worse is that I saw an old father not only burying his son, but also
The coffin I had saved for many years was used, and I even sold the blood to bury my son. The old man only had such a son, and I am still thinking about who will bury him if he dies in the future?"
In comparison, the situation of this family is already very good, at least they still have a gold ring as their trump card. But the old father is reduced to selling his blood to bury his son? Such a situation may only happen in the great country of China.
Ah. First of all, I am a rural person
There is a popular plot of fallen leaves returning to their roots. People must return to their hometown after death. Secondly, the country's policies are not good. If cremation requires more money, people who don't have ten thousand or eight thousand can't afford it. In this way,
It has also created a situation where many people cannot afford to die.
Finally, they were buried. The young woman cried at the grave for a long time, no matter who tried to persuade her, it was of no use. The old woman had no choice but to invite the villagers who helped to go home for a drink, leaving her daughter-in-law to cry at the grave.
The old man was greedy for wine and sneaked down the mountain to drink early in the morning. Chen Xiao stood alone at the grave. He was afraid that this woman would do something stupid. If he really committed suicide at the grave, wouldn't he have to do it again today?
A funeral?
"Little master, why didn't you go to eat?" When the young woman stood up, she saw Chen Xiao still standing where she was.
"Oh, I'm just a little worried about you!" Chen Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Looking at you, you probably aren't from this village!"
"I'm from Sichuan, and I met my husband when he was working out of town!" The woman glanced at Chen Xiao faintly, and then said: "Later, I married him. He felt sorry for me and let me take care of the housework at home while he was alone.
I went to work elsewhere. My parents-in-law are very good to me, just like my biological parents."
"You are still so young, what are you going to do in the future?" Chen Xiao asked.
"From now on, I will guard this home and serve my parents-in-law well!" The woman said with tears in her eyes: "If we cultivate a few acres of land at home, it will be enough to support a family of three!"
Chen Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the woman's moral character. Before, Chen Xiao had never thought that there could be such a noble and moral woman in the world. Women nowadays are relatively materialistic. The woman in front of him is indeed a traditional
The Chinese woman who puts filial piety first makes people admire her from the bottom of her heart. Chen Xiao sighed: "You make me feel ashamed!"
"Little master, let's go down the mountain to eat. I have to go to the town!" The woman glanced at the ring on her hand in embarrassment, a little reluctant to part with it. Chen Xiao knew that she must be selling her engagement ring when she went to town. Chen Xiao
Xiao said hurriedly: "I bought your ring!"
"Really?" The woman was stunned and said, "I spent 3,050 yuan on this ring when I bought it. If the young master wants it, just take it for 3,000 yuan!"
"No!" Chen Xiao waved his hand, and he hurriedly lowered his head and rummaged through his bag.
"If it's any less, I'm afraid... I..." The woman thought Chen Xiao was going to bargain. However, when Chen Xiao dug out 30,000 yuan from the package and handed it to her, she was shocked: "Little master, no need... no need
so much!"
"Listen to me!" Chen Xiao put the money into the woman's hand and said: "I bought the ring, but I will return it to you as a friend. You take the money, you are a woman, and there are two others at home.
Old man, farming is not a long-term solution after all. Use this little money to do some small business to maintain the family's livelihood. This is at least easier than farming!"
"Wow, I didn't expect that there are still good people in this world!" The woman suddenly sobbed.
"I was touched by your noble moral character!" Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "I hope you can keep your word and support this old couple in the future. Even if you decide to remarry in the future, you can't forget them.
.”
"Little master, don't worry, they will be my parents in this life." The woman gritted her teeth and swore, "If I abandon them, then I will be worse than a pig or a dog!"
"Keep the money, and be sure not to let your cousins see it, otherwise, they will find ways to get rid of the money!" Chen Xiao warned seriously.
"Well, I know their characters very well!" The woman's eyes were complicated and she said, "They used to try every means to get away with our family's money when the men were here. Now that the men are gone, they have to go even harder."
"So you have to be careful!" Chen Xiao smiled. As for the 30,000 yuan given, Chen Xiao didn't feel bad at all. It was all Zhang Niupi's money. Zhang Niupi made the dirty money and used it to do good deeds.
It can be regarded as helping him to clear up some of his sins.
After chatting for a while, the two went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, Chen Xiao found that the old man had already started drinking with a group of people and was drooling crazily. The mess on the table made Chen Xiao have no desire to eat at all.
The young woman saw Chen Xiao frowning and said, "Little master, I'll open a small stove for you. Just wait a moment!"
"Thank you!" Chen Xiao nodded.
Chen Xiao opened a small stove by himself, but no one noticed. The parents of the deceased were still crying in the room. The pain of a white-haired person leaving a black-haired person is unspeakable pain for ordinary people. Not only did the relatives and friends outside not comfort them,
Instead, they go out to drink wine and eat meat, enjoying this rare delicacy. Rural people rarely have a meal of meat. Except during the New Year and festivals, only such red and white events can make them drink wine and eat meat.
.
The young woman killed the only old hen in the house, and then cooked half of the chicken for Chen Xiao, and fried some farm side dishes. These were enough for Chen Xiao. The young woman's reciprocation moved Chen Xiao.
But let the father-in-law of the family
My mother-in-law is not feeling well. This old hen is probably the only valuable thing in the family, and the eggs she lays can be sold for money. But now she actually killed it, and she was still serving such a young hen. I couldn't help it.
It made the two old people feel a little uncomfortable.
Chen Xiao did not give any explanation. He believed that the woman's intelligence would be able to handle such a matter. Sure enough, the young woman pulled the two elders into the room, and when they came out, a look of gratitude immediately appeared on her face.
"Little master, if you need anything, just ask." The old woman's eyes were full of gratitude.
"Well, you go and do your work first." Chen Xiao said while eating. Chen Xiao felt much more comfortable as he avoided having to eat with a group of old men. I don't know how much saliva they sprayed on the dishes on the table.
If Chen Xiao were allowed to eat it, I don’t know how long it would take to make Chen Xiao sick.
That night, Chen Xiao and the old man said goodbye to the mountain village. The woman supported the old woman's arm and took Chen Xiao and the old man to the entrance of the village. The old man drank too much at noon and slept all afternoon without waking up.
I took a few sips and staggered as I walked.
"Let's go!" Chen Xiao was particularly free and easy when he left.
"Have a nice trip, little master!" the young woman waved.
At this time, Chen Xiao was in a state where he almost used the earth as his bed and the sky as his quilt, wherever he went. Anyway, following the old man for a trip can be regarded as an understanding of the culture of exorcism in Xiangxi. The most important thing is that he
I want to learn how to make talismans. I have been doing this for the past few days.
He kept his head covered and seemed unwilling to teach himself how to make talismans. After all, if a corpse exorcist wants to learn how to make talismans, he has to stay in this industry for at least ten years, right? This means that you have to be an apprentice for ten years.
I will teach you how to make talismans in the next year.
"Old man, when will you be willing to teach me?" Chen Xiao shouted all the way.
"Oh, my little ancestor, can't you have a rest?" The old man glanced at Chen Xiao angrily, and said depressedly: "My ears have become cocooned by you. I have told you, at least ten
It takes years to teach you!”
"Ten years? Not to mention whether I will help you later, I still don't know if I want to learn in ten years!" Chen Xiao was a little sullen. The old man was indeed very paranoid. Chen Xiao's eyes rolled.
After walking around for a while, he said with a smile: "Old man, how about I exchange it with you for a bottle of the best Maotai?"
"No!" The old man was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never do such a thing that betrays my principles."
"Two bottles!" Chen Xiao saw the old man's eyes flashing, and immediately felt that there was something interesting. He just thought that his temptation was not big enough, so he simply increased the temptation. The old man was stunned again, but shook his head and said: "No, Shimen
How can you tell others the ancestral method of making talismans?"
"Old man, I understand now, you don't regard me as one of your own at all?" Chen Xiao sneered.
"No... no... that's not the case!" The old man hurriedly defended, "It's just that you have only been in the industry for a short time. Who knows what your heart is like? What if you use this method to harm others? Wouldn't it mean that you have to give up?
Grandmaster has been humiliated?"
"How can I be considered a member of the corpse exorcism clan?" Chen Xiao said angrily: "The last time, three bottles of the best Maotai, plus the two bottles I promised you last time, there are five bottles in total. If you agree, then I
I'll buy it for you as soon as I get to the county town; if you don't agree, I'll wipe it out along with the two previous bottles. From now on, you walk on your sunny path, and I'll walk on my single-plank bridge!"
"Ouch, have you got a bad temper?" The old man was startled, then smiled and said: "I won't be fooled by you. Unless you get me five bottles of Maotai, you can't even hope to learn how to make it from me!"
"Okay, the county seat is not far ahead!" Chen Xiao grinned.
Hurrying at night, he arrived at the county town in front of him in a short time. The old man hid the remaining bodies in the forest, and then followed Chen Xiao to the county town to live happily. He walked for more than four hours in one night, and he was stunned.
