As the saying goes: On March 3rd, snakes come out of the mountains.
It is the season when the sun is shining brightly and the grass is growing and the orioles are flying. Animals that have been hibernating all season come out of their caves to enjoy the warm sunshine.
At the door of the ancestral hall of Uncle Quan Ning's Mansion, Uncle Quan Ning Ning Zhongjian looked at the scene in front of him, his face was livid, his eyebrows were solemn: "Steward, what on earth is going on!"
I saw dozens or hundreds of snakes entangled together on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Some were thick and thin, some were poisonous and some were not poisonous, some were spotted and some were not spotted. There were many kinds of snakes, and they looked ferocious and very scary.
A venomous snake with a triangular head spat out scarlet venom at Ning Zhongjian, scaring him so much that he took a few steps back.
The chief steward Ning Gui stepped forward quickly and stood in front of Ning Zhongjian to block the group of snakes. He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves: "Speaking to the master, I don't know what's going on. These snakes are in a row."
They have been present for several days, and they only gather at the entrance of the ancestral hall every day. The slave didn't pay attention before, and just asked people to drive them away. Unexpectedly, the snakes came again the next day! The slave was angry, so he asked a few people to come.
I caught those snakes, but I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect those snakes to linger and come every day..."
The more Ning Gui spoke, the softer he spoke. At the end of the sentence, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Ning Zhongjian, and then said cautiously: "Master, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I feel that the matter is very important and I can't make up my mind. This
Then I asked the master to come over and make a decision."
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon..." Ning Zhongjian read these words again carefully, then raised his eyes to look at Ning Gui, "What kind of demon is this?"
Ning Gui said: "I don't know something. There is a saying in the slave's hometown that the snakes that have been lingering around the house and are unwilling to leave are transformed by dead relatives. If they come back again, they may have some unresolved worries. And these
The snake hasn't gone anywhere these days, only lingering at the entrance of the ancestral hall, maybe..."
"You said it was the ancestors..." Ning Zhongjian was shocked and asked quickly, "Then what should we do?"
Ning Gui lowered his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I have to go to Qingshui Temple to invite Ming and Qing Taoists to come."
"Then go and invite him quickly! Spend a lot of money to invite him!"
Ning Gui immediately accepted the order and hurried out of Quan Ningbo's house through the side door with his two young men.
There was an unpretentious carriage parked at the side door, and a fair-skinned young boy was sitting in the driver's seat, looking around boredly.
Seeing him coming out, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards him: "Guanjia Ning."
"Haha, young master, you are polite." Ning Gui smiled and rushed towards the person, bending down and cupping his hands.
The young man stood on tiptoes and looked into the side door behind Ning Gui. When he found that he couldn't see anything, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and then he turned to look at Ning Gui.
"Steward Ning, how's the matter?"
"It's developing very smoothly. I'll go to Qingshui Temple to invite Taoist priests from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, took out a money bag, and threw it directly to Ning Gui: "Steward Ning, use people's money to eliminate disasters. You have to do it beautifully."
Ning Gui took the money bag and weighed it, put it in his arms with a smile, and raised his hand to him again: "I'm working on something, young master, please don't worry."
The young man wanted to say something else, but he heard a gentle man's voice coming from the carriage: "Sambo, let Butler Ning do the work."
Sanbao responded dully: "Oh."
Ning Gui bowed and cupped his hands to the people in the carriage, turned around and left quickly.
