In fact, Zhang Qisheng was a rural teacher in his early years. He had been teaching for many years and had many peaches and plums. His wife left long ago and he has a pair of children who have settled in the county.
He didn't go with me, saying that he was used to rural life and couldn't get used to living in the county town.
The real reason is simple: his daughter-in-law doesn't like him.
The son-in-law hates him even more. Instead of playing chess with him, he teaches life lessons.
Niu Xiaotian was one of his few chess friends, and they quarreled most of the time. This brat either slowed down the game or stole pieces. He used all kinds of despicable tricks that could not be written on an octavo page.
Zhang Qisheng is a single, aloof and stubborn old man, but Niu Xiaotian is thinking about his proud Taishan stone.
How to get it?
Niu Xiaotian lay on the kang and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to outwit him!
"Xiaoyu!"
"Boss, what are your orders?" Ba Xiaoyu immediately ran in and asked respectfully.
"Don't you know how to get tattoos?"
"Yes, the boss is also interested?"
Ba Xiaoyu was quite surprised. At first glance, Boss Niu didn't look like the kind of fashionable young man who chases trends.
"I want to try your skills." Niu Xiaotian said seriously.
"Our craftsmanship can definitely stand the test." Ba Xiaoyu patted her chest and suggested: "The boss should get a tattoo of a dragon in the clouds running through his body, so that he can be worthy of your noble status."
You are really good at talking, I like it!
Thinking this in his heart, Niu Xiaotian put on a straight face and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, I always advocate that you should be low-key in life and work. Yun Zhonglong is too ostentatious. Now, I will tattoo the Big Dipper on the sole of my right foot.
Bar!"
Ba Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly widened. Can this be called a tattoo? Being low-key is too much!
"Boss, this is too simple."
"It's not easy. The Big Dipper must be turned upside down, and it must look like it is showing through the skin." Niu Xiaotian requested.
Ba Xiaoyu rolled her eyes twice, scratched her head and asked, "Is it like it grows in the flesh?"
"right!"
Still very simple!
Just do it.
Ba Xiaoyu helped Niu Xiaotian take off his socks and took out a needle. It only took less than ten minutes for the work to be completed.
It didn't hurt at all, but it felt very itchy. Niu Xiaotian opened and closed his toes and almost cried with laughter.
The technique is very good, there is only a slight redness and swelling, which is definitely not noticeable with presbyopia.
Putting on his shoes, Niu Xiaotian went out with his hands behind his back and went straight to Zhang Qisheng's home not far away.
After a moment of gathering emotions, Niu Xiaotian opened the courtyard door. The little flower dog recognized him and only barked twice symbolically before going to a corner to urinate.
"Xiao Tian'er is here!"
Zhang Qisheng was also very bored. He was overjoyed when he saw Niu Xiaotian and hurriedly came out to greet him. However, he saw that his head was drooping and he was dragging his feet.
"Chess Master, have you eaten?" Niu Xiaotian forced a smile.
"It's nothing, just two meals, no lunch."
"Then let's kill a few games."
"Okay, I'll let you have a knight this time." Zhang Qisheng readily agreed.
After entering the room, the two of them sat down in front of the chess table. There was an end game on it. It was Zhang Qi Sage who had nothing to do. He was playing chess with his left hand and his right hand. It was usually difficult to tell the winner.
Arrange the chess pieces again and start the back-and-forth game.
Within a few minutes, Niu Xiaotian lost, but he let out a long sigh.
"Chess Master, I guess my days of playing chess with you are numbered."
"Do you want to leave our village?"
Zhang Qisheng suddenly felt depressed. Although Niu Xiaotian was a bad chess player and liked to cheat, in this remote village, chess friends were harder to find than confidants.
"I'm in trouble!"
As Niu Xiaotian spoke, he took off his right shoe and sock, lifted it up to show Zhang Qisheng, and sighed repeatedly.
Seven small black dots, shaped like the Big Dipper, but upside down.
"When did you get this thing?" Zhang Qisheng was very surprised.
"The soles of my feet were very itchy last night, and I noticed it when I woke up this morning." Niu Xiaotian answered listlessly.
Zhang Qisheng tried his best to search the ancient books he had read in his mind. It seemed that it was written in some folk story book. This is called, yes, Seven Star Evil.
"Xiaotian, you have been hit by the Seven Star Evil and you will not survive for seven days." Zhang Qisheng was shocked.
"Oh, of course I know, but it's a pity that I'm only eighteen years old."
"too young."
Zhang Qisheng couldn't help sighing, and he squinted his eyes and looked closer.
Niu Xiaotian quickly put on his socks and shoes, fearing that he would lose them if he looked at them again.
"You are a warlock, don't you have a solution?" Zhang Qisheng asked.
"Yes, but it's too difficult. You need a three-meter-high boulder to ward off evil spirits. Starting from today, as long as you survive seven days, the problem will not be a big problem." Niu Xiaotian said as he placed the chess pieces again and raised his hand to his head.
gun.
"There are quite a few rocks on the mountain."
"There is no such thing as a lucky stone. Besides, it needs to be polished to pull it back." Ahem, Niu Xiaotian coughed pitifully.
What a poor child!
Zhang Qisheng was extremely entangled and kept grabbing his gray and white hair, but finally made up his mind, "Xiaotian, find a few people to move the Taishan stone in front of my house!"
"A gentleman does not take away what others love."
Niu Xiaotian pretended to refuse, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Actually, that stone is of no use. Originally, the corner of Lao Qiu's house faced this way. Later, his family built a new house, and the stone was gone." Zhang Qisheng said.
"Chess Master, thank you!" Niu Xiaotian clasped his fists.
"Move quickly! Don't let me regret it."
Zhang Qisheng raised his hand, feeling very distressed. He was a teacher who had nothing special to offer and relied on a big stone to prop up his facade. Now he has nothing left.
"Then consider it a loan and pay it back later."
"What's more, if it's not troublesome enough, just come to me and play chess more often. Alas, I'm like a duckweed with nowhere to take root."
Zhang Qisheng sighed casually and had no intention of continuing to play chess, so he went back to his room and lay down.
Don't hesitate, the old man will really regret it.
Niu Xiaotian immediately returned home and called Xia Hua, Dongyue and Ba Xiaoyu to move the huge stone back.
It is not easy to move such a huge boulder. The best way is of course to use a crane.
The idea was too sudden and too late!
There are also other ways to do this, using levers and logs to move it little by little.
Hey!
Hey!
The four of them shouted slogans and worked hard together. They were sweating and panting from exhaustion.
It took a full two hours to move the huge stone from the front of Zhang Qisheng's house back to the yard of Niujiazhuang.
Looking at the Taishan Stone standing near the warehouse and higher than the courtyard wall, Niu Xiaotian was so happy that the grass planting plan could be implemented.
Lunch was postponed, and the four of them were so hungry that they devoured everything.
Niu Xiaotian rewarded Zhongmei with a glass of ginseng wine for each of them, and poured out another bottle for the rest, preparing to give it to Zhang Qisheng.
I lied to the old man and felt sorry for him, so he made up for it with good wine.
The small piece of soil Tai Sui had now doubled in size. Niu Xiaotian also cut off a piece, took it with him, and strolled back to Zhang Qisheng's house.
When he heard the dog barking, the old man didn't come out. He was lying on the kang, covering his chest with one hand and sighing!
