The deaf old lady took out the handkerchief from her arms and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her bloodshot white eyes stared at Zhou Wenzhong.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Zhou Wenzhong put his hands together and swayed, and in his palms were the four tiger teeth.
"Look, these are the four longest fangs of the tiger. Although they are not blessed yet, I don't have to do anything. Even if I stand still, you won't be able to leave after you become a ghost.
Within 3 meters of me.
There is no need for you to say such cruel words about taking revenge on my children after you become a ghost. Others might be afraid of you, but I, Zhou Wenzhong, will not accept your words."
Seeing that the deaf old lady was about to speak, Zhou Wenzhong quickly added an explanation.
"First of all, after you become a ghost, you won't be able to stay in the world for so many days.
Secondly, my friend has a tortoiseshell fan. When the time comes, I will go to the Chinese medicine store to buy some cinnabar and sprinkle it back. As soon as you get close to it, it will be instantly destroyed.
Thirdly, after a hundred years, I can go to your grave to ferry you over, and let the evil spirits come up directly to pick you up.
Fourth, even if you choose to be cremated, I will find some menstrual cloth, burn it to ashes, mix it with your dregs and bury it under the women's toilet. By the way, I will draw a few strokes on your jar. By then
I guarantee that you will not respond to your calls every day, and your calls to earth will not work.
Fifth, if you choose to be buried, I will go to the women's public toilet outside and pry out the stone bricks from the pit. I only need 7 bricks to put in your coffin. No matter how big your grievances are, I can keep them.
You can't escape.
Sixth, to be honest, I still have some connections down there, and I can spend some money on traveling to help you get connected and buy a good tire. I hope you can be born into a beast as soon as possible."
The deaf old lady listened to Zhou Wenzhong's words quietly, nodded with a smile and said in a calm tone: "Okay, okay...it's really hard for you to come up with so many tricks."
"You're too polite, we're all our own people. It just so happens that what you just said involves my academic scope, but you don't know, it's been killing me these days. I didn't expect you to be interested in this too, I
If we had known about it earlier, we could have sat down together and discussed it earlier. The most common thing my master says is that people who offend us will not even dare to die. What else do you have to say?"
The deaf old lady stood up holding on to the table and asked Zhou Wenzhong with a solemn expression: "Can I, an old woman, beg you? If you don't mention the ingredients of the pillar after you take the things, at least you can't mention it while I'm alive.
."
"How can you say beg? Alas... you are making it difficult for me to do it. You are trying to make me violate the principles of life! Back then, Mr. Zhu Ziqing would rather starve to death than eat relief food. What a sense of integrity."
"The things are buried in the ground under the legs of the dining table. You should take a look at the things first and then decide."
"Which table leg?"
"It's where I usually sit, with only one table leg pressed in the middle of the stone bricks."
"well…"
Zhou Wenzhong moved the table and found the floor tile. He reached into his pocket and took out a knife from the space and started to pry the floor tile...
"Boom!"
There was a dull sound from the pit, and a smile appeared on Zhou Wenzhong's face. He lay on the ground and reached into the pit to lift out the small box.
"Only this?"
Zhou Wenzhong walked up to the deaf old lady and asked, holding a heavy wooden box 30 cm high and 20 cm long.
"It's all here."
Zhou Wenzhong picked up the pillow towel of the deaf old lady and wiped the sand on the small wooden box.
I first used the storage space to detect it, but I couldn't feel anything. It should be that the wooden box was thicker than the porcelain bowl. Then I shook the wooden box and heard the sound of metal rattling inside.
Zhou Wenzhong held the box with his left hand, fastened the padlock on the box with his right hand, and pointed the box at the deaf old lady.
"There's no trick here. It's better for you to tell me first, so as not to cause any harm to you after I open the box."
"Don't you dare to open it?"
"Yes, I listen to you."
Zhou Wenzhong carefully opened the lid of the box. After counting, in addition to a house deed, there were 4 rolls wrapped in red paper totaling 200 silver coins. There were also 4 small yellow croakers and 2 silver hairpins.
"Just this crap? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have even bothered to dig a hole."
"What the hell! It's not enough for me to bother with."
Zhou Wenzhong kept scolding and angrily threw the box on the dining table, and the contents fell to the ground with a "clatter...".
The deaf old lady looked at Zhou Wenzhong with surprise in her eyes, pointed at the silver coins scattered on the ground and asked: "Aren't these enough?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Most of these silver coins are 3-year and 10-year coins. There are only a few 8-year coins that are worth some money. There are also these two silver hairpins. I just saw them.
Are you angry? Have you never seen anything good at all? Let me tell you my truth, old lady, I am very disappointed in you!"
Zhou Wenzhong was sitting on a stool smoking, while the deaf old lady held the stool and picked up the small yellow croakers on the ground.
"Can't you even see these little yellow croakers?"
"I don't want to talk now. I have a terrible headache."
"This...this is a serious gold bar!"
"Go, go, go...don't bother me."
Zhou Wenzhong calculated in his mind: 1 silver dollar can be sold for 600 yuan, plus 8 years. The total value of these silver coins in 2020 is at most 130,000 yuan. Each small yellow croaker is only 31.25 grams, and 4 are only 125 grams.
.
"I'm leaving. If you only rely on this little thing, you will never be able to shake my Zhou Wenzhong's principles of life."
The deaf old lady felt from the bottom of her heart that this bad guy Zhou Wenzhong was really crazy. Don’t you want money? This is a full 200 silver dollars! This is 4 gold bars! While she was still confused, Zhou Wenzhong had already walked out.
Inside the house.
After Zhou Wenzhong went out, he quickly turned around and crouched in the corner of the backyard. He waited quietly for a cigarette, but did not see the deaf old lady chasing her out of the house. He had already confirmed in his heart that she was not hiding anything else.
Then he returned to the deaf old lady's home.
"Okay, okay, let's just leave it at that."
Zhou Wenzhong pressed his hip against the dining table, holding the silver coins on the table with both hands and throwing them into the wooden box.
"Bang!" The lid of the small wooden box closed.
"Is the incident about Zhuzi in the past considered a thing of the past?"
"Forget it, forget it. As long as Silly Zhu doesn't provoke me, I'll give him a way out for your sake. I'll give him a message later so that he can stop fooling around in front of me. I saw Silly Zhu.
That old face with pits is disgusting."
Zhou Wenzhong walked up to the deaf old lady, frightened the old lady and took a few steps back, pressing her body against the wall.
"Bring it to you!"
Zhou Wenzhong snatched the crutch from the old lady, held it flat and walked under the electric light to start inspecting it.
"I thought it was made of some good material. Feelings are just ordinary peach wood, not even lightning strike wood. I am getting more and more disappointed with you. Sigh..."
Zhou Wenzhong put the crutch handle on the dining table and glanced at the deaf old lady.
"Tomorrow at 12:30 noon, we will gather in front of the street office. A smart person like you must know how to speak."
Zhou Wenzhong put down these words, held the small wooden box in his left hand, pushed open the door and walked out. At this time, the deaf old lady in the room could no longer hold on. Her legs were trembling and she collapsed on the ground. She lay on the ground and punched her with her right hand.
He punched the floor tiles in front of him and let out a silent wail with his mouth wide open.
"Did you call me just now?"
Zhou Wenzhong patted the sand on his hands and replied: "How is it possible? Brother Damao, I didn't hear anything. Is it because you have been angry recently due to work, so you have tinnitus and auditory hallucinations?"
"I don't know. I thought someone called my name just now. What's wrong with you coming to the backyard so late?"
"Isn't this the deaf old lady asking me to come to her house to do some work? I'm leaving first. You can get busy."
Xu Damao nodded and looked toward the deaf old lady's room.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
Seeing that no one responded after knocking on the door, Zhou Wenzhong raised his right foot and kicked the wooden door.
"Boom! Boom!"
"coming!"
Yi Zhonghai shouted in the bedroom, then opened the door of the main room and welcomed Zhou Wenzhong in.
"Someone knocked on the door outside, but you hid in the house. This is a very impolite behavior. Considering that you have not received a good education, I will not pick on you this time."
Zhou Wenzhong sat on the chair with a straight posture, his hands naturally hanging on his knees on both sides.
"I have to inform you about something happy."
Yi Zhonghai tightened his mouth and nodded with an unnatural smile.
"Tomorrow I, Zhou Wenzhong, will move to a new home. According to our Chinese folk customs, friends and relatives need to go to the new home to lively and lively. In some places, this activity is called a greenhouse, and in some places it is called a burning pot bottom. But no matter where it comes from
From a perspective, this is a good blessing from everyone to the homeowner, don’t you think so?”
"right."
"Very good, my new home still lacks 2 thermos bottles, 1 high-foot basin stand, 1 2-meter-2 large bed, 2 wardrobes, 6 large camphor wood boxes, 1 dining table and 6 chairs. You
As the eldest man in the courtyard, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. You have to choose two expensive ones, right? Otherwise, I would be ashamed for you."
Zhou Wenzhong tapped his finger on the dining table and said, "You are getting more and more exaggerated. I have been in your house for so long without even giving you a glass of water. If I don't open my mouth to mention it, you just pretend you can't see it?"
Yi Zhonghai walked to the chest of drawers and came back with a rattan thermos bottle and a porcelain bowl.
"No, I just said that casually. You are my elder, can I really ask you to pour me water? You can't even tell if I'm joking.
Hahaha... Let's get down to business quickly, since it's so late and I can't disturb your rest."
"You haven't told me where your new home is yet."
"The southwest corner of the reverse room."
Yi Zhonghai stared at the table legs and sighed, then smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll go to the department store at noon tomorrow and pick out two aluminum thermos bottles and a towel rack for you."
"Are you looking down on me?"
"No, no. An aluminum thermos bottle plus the liner costs more than 7 yuan! A free towel rack costs 22 yuan."
"Then you just scold me?"
"You're overthinking, I didn't mean that."
"Okay, I don't care how much you want. Just get me 6 large camphor wood boxes and 2 wardrobes."
Yi Zhonghai waved his hands and said seriously: "You can never buy such things. If you want to make a camphor box, you have to buy the wood first, and then ask a carpenter to make it at home."
"Oh, it seems that I am still too young, so I don't think about the problem comprehensively enough. Let's just discount it."
"Ah? What does discount mean?"
"You just give me the money, and then I'll find someone to make the furniture myself."
"I only have 39 yuan at home now, and the things you want are estimated to be a hundred or ten yuan. You want it too urgently, and one day is not enough. Otherwise, Yan Bugui and his wife borrowed it last time
I have 100 yuan, I will ask him to get the money back and I will give it to you."
Zhou Wenzhong slapped the table and said excitedly: "Okay! Now you can write me an IOU. It states that you borrowed 100 yuan from me three months ago. Originally, the money could be returned to me smoothly. Who knew?
It was borrowed by my Uncle Yan's family. By the way, I wrote that the debt of 100 yuan from my Uncle Yan was transferred to me. When the time comes, I will go to him and ask for the money."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "Okay, okay, then you won't ask me for these furniture, right?"
"I'm helping you collect your debt, do you also have to do me a favor?"
"It should, it should."
"It just so happens that the old lady and I will meet at the door of the street office at 12:30 tomorrow noon. You can come with us then. By the way, you can help the deaf old lady and talk to the staff of the street office. This is considered as your helping me.
."
"well."
Yi Zhonghai walked into the bedroom, and after about 3 minutes, he took out an IOU and handed it over. Zhou Wenzhong took it, took a look at it, and nodded with satisfaction. By the way, he helped Yi Zhonghai tidy up the collar of his clothes, opened the cotton curtain and went home.
