One night when the wheat on the original slope began to glow with a bright color, it rained heavily. Bai Jiaxuan woke up near dawn and cried bitterly. The cry alarmed his mother. He said that he dreamed of his father. He couldn't figure out what his father did.
My whole body and face were covered with mud, my clothes were wet and dripping on the ground, and I was shivering. I couldn't figure out why there was a deep pool of mud and water under my feet. My father seemed to have climbed up from the pool, and his legs and feet shook.
The rope fell into the pool again, and he couldn't pull it up no matter how hard he pulled it. He watched his father sink, with only his two big hands shaking in the water. He shouted for help, but the more urgent he became, the more he couldn't call out. He cried loudly and suddenly woke up.
After hearing this, my mother was not surprised. She just said one sentence and went back to her room: "Go and have a look at your father's grave."
At dawn, Bai Jiaxuan called on the long-term worker Lu San to carry a shovel and walked through the mud towards the cemetery. He checked around his father's grave and found a cave that might be filled with water. When it rained heavily at night, water entered the grave.
He told Lu San about the nightmare, and Lu San was amazed. They used shovels to break up the cave, blocked the waterway, and raised the mound. Jiaxuan said: "Water entered the tomb passage, and my father's immortal bones were soaked.
It’s time to move the grave.”
After the wheat was harvested and ground, Bai Jiaxuan invited Mr. Yin and Yang to visit the seven or eight dry lands of the Bai family in the original area to choose a new base. What is surprising is that he did not give any hint to Mr. Yin and Yang. Mr. Yin and Yang
Surprisingly, his compass settled on the gently sloping land of the deer family that was exchanged for two acres of water, and the specific location of the tomb coincided with the location where he found the white deer spirit. Mr. Yin Yang said: "Head rests on Nanshan Mountain
, climb up to the Beiling; surrounded by slopes on all sides, there are gentle slopes, showing a gentle and relaxed atmosphere; the slope points to the direction, and all the body fluids can be found here." After hearing this, Bai Jiaxuan felt more at ease, and cooked eight dishes at noon.
Reward Mr. Yin-Yang. He kept Mr. Yin-Yang's words in his heart verbatim, and when asked, he showed helplessness and said: "I've traveled all over seven or eight places, and there's no pulse in any of them. It's just that I'm so slow."
The slope is closer to the village and the terrain is gentler, so we can make do with digging graves."
The new tomb cannot be called luxurious, but the tomb chamber and dark courtyard are built with blue brick hoops. During this period, Lu Zilin has completed the feat of digging a well. The newly cut wooden waterwheel has also been installed and debugged, and the brand-new white
The wooden frame was particularly dazzling in the hot summer sun. The mule pulled the wooden wheel waterwheel at a cheerful pace, and the sound of rushing water couldn't be more pleasant. Lu Zilin dug out four more willow trees and buried them at the four corners of the well.
Once the tree is big enough, it can block the sunlight from three directions, and people and livestock will not be exposed to the sun.
On the day when Bai Jiaxuan started digging the old tomb, he invited the parents of every household in Bailu Village to participate in this grand tomb-moving ceremony. The trumpeters played and sang from the old tomb to the new tomb. The monks of Sanguan Temple
Lu Zilin and his father were invited to join the dojo. Both Lu Zilin and his father were invited to participate in what they regarded as a fool's errand. When he got home in the evening, Lu Zilin couldn't help but ask his father: "Is it a fool's errand?" and told himself
Suspicion: When excavating the old tomb, he had been observing carefully, and there was no trace of water entering the tomb chamber or passage. Bai Jiaxuan said that his father asked him to move the tomb in a dream, which was probably a fabricated cover. This has to make people suspicious of Bai Jiaxuan.
The real motive of exchanging good land for bad land was a trap played after reaching a tacit understanding with Mr. Yin Yang. Lu Taiheng admired his son's analysis in his heart, but he still insisted on his own opinion: "It's just a fool's errand." He then told
His son Lu Zilin said: "When your father passed away, I invited Mr. Yin Yang to see the gently sloping land. From the slopes on all sides, it looked like a waterlogged pond and it was difficult to stretch. Now this Mr. Yin Yang is better than his father.
Old Yin and Yang, at best, can only be an 'Er Mi'er'..."
Bai Jiaxuan placed his late father's bones in a geomantic treasure land for the White Deer Spirit to nourish, and then went into the mountains with his robes on his back. Wu Changgui, the shopkeeper of the Chinese herbal medicine purchase shop in Panlong Town, received him with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness as if he were serving the coming emperor. The two of them were attentive and considerate.
People sit cross-legged on the hot Kang, which is kept on all year round. The Kang is covered with authentic Yulin handmade blankets. The small Kang table is filled with hot dishes, all of which are mountain specialties and treasures. A plate of smoked rice with a smell of smoke.
Wild boar meat, a plate of steamed golden pheasant, a plate of braised salamander, a plate of bear paws bought with great difficulty, a plate of monkey head, white fungus, black fungus, lily and other common mountain dishes. Jiaxuan is in a good mood.
, deliberately indulged himself in a few more drinks, got drunk, and recounted the bad luck he had experienced in recent years, and then directly stated the purpose of his trip. It is very difficult to find a woman in Bailuyuan now, and
Unable to accept the asking price that was ten times or more than ten times higher, he said: "Uncle Wu, I'll leave this to you." Shopkeeper Wu agreed without hesitation: "It's not difficult. You can lure people in when you get back."
Many years ago, when Jiaxuan's grandfather led Jiaxuan's father to run this traditional Chinese medicine purchasing store in Panlong Town, Wu Changgui was just an ordinary mountain man who often came to sell medicinal materials. This was the turning point in his fate.
, in fact, it was an inadvertent mistake. After he sold a large bundle of precious astragalus, he found that he had been overpaid, so he walked back to the shop with the basket on his back and said to Bai Jiaxuan's father: "Shopkeeper Bai, please give me the money."
The calculation was wrong, this is the extra money you paid me." After saying that, he put a stack of copper coins on the counter and left. Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper stopped him from behind and called him into the Chinese medicine shop. After that, he
He became a clerk in this shop. He knew all the medicinal materials growing in the Qinling Mountains. He quickly learned the rough processing skills of various scattered medicinal materials, and then learned the abacus, writing and accounting. He was smart, talented and honest.
His kind-hearted character proved the Bai family's father and son's ability to identify people, so he won the trust of the Bai family and his son. The opportunity that contributed to a major turning point in his fate was the continuous natural and man-made disasters suffered by the Bai family. The elder in charge of the family affairs
Er Bai Bingyi was lit up with sky lanterns during the riots in Bailuyuan. Shopkeeper Bai was robbed by bandits on his way home and died soon after. The boss Bai Bingde had to return to Bailuyuan to take charge of housekeeping, and the Panlong Town Chinese Herbal Medicine Purchase Shop was handed over.
When Wu Changgui cooks, it is determined how much money he will pay each year, and the rest of the profits will go to Wu Changgui. From then on, Wu Changgui was no longer the dirty mountain man who came to sell medicinal materials with a basket on his back, but soon became one of the four richest households in Panlong Town.
One of them. The old man Bingde died suddenly. He came from the mountains to attend the funeral. He lay on the coffin and cried harder than his own son Jiaxuan. He hung a ten-foot-long white silk pole for the old man Bingde.
The python paper fluttered like a live python falling from the sky, shocking the poor and rich people in Bailuyuan. People were used to seeing python paper cut and tied with white paper and reed stalks, but they had never seen anyone willing to spend it in vain.
Silk was made into python paper to express condolences and pay homage to the deceased. Wu Changgui was truly a righteous gentleman who knew his kindness was repaid.
Wu Changgui's face was pale from drinking and he was sweating profusely. He held a wine cup with one hand and a towel with the other. With this towel, he drank from door to door in Panlong Town from east to west.
He has never made a fool of himself. He said to Bai Jiaxuan: "You can lure the five girls away." Jiaxuan also had a unique drinking binge. Although he was far from Wu Changgui's opponent, the actual amount he drank was staggering.
His words were already wild, and he was completely different from the shy, timid and pitiful look he had when he changed places with Lu Zilin in Mr. Leng's Chinese Medicine Hall. He said loudly: "Uncle Wu, there is no way I can kill my wife.
I can't bear to have my fifth daughter have a bad relationship. You can buy me any one in the mountains, as long as it can help me carry on the Bai family lineage..." Wu Changgui said: "Let's just have a drink now, and we won't talk about the wedding until tomorrow."
It wasn't until noon the next day that Bai Jiaxuan woke up from the drunkenness. He had no memory of what happened last night. Only then did Wu Changgui solemnly propose to marry the fifth girl to him. Bai Jiaxuan shook his head and repeated the story about being drunk last night.
Wu Changgui had the same objection as before. Wu Changgui said more sincerely that he originally wanted to marry his third daughter to him, but he just thought that people outside the mountains had strict etiquette and laws, and generally large families would not marry women from the mountains, so it was difficult to ask him. Since Jiajia
Xuan Xuan made a special trip to the mountains to get married this time, and his original worries were eliminated. Wu Changgui said: "As long as you don't think the people in the mountains are shallow..." Bai Jiaxuan could no longer refuse. Wu Changgui had two sons and five daughters, all of whom were beautiful.
He had thin skin and tender flesh, beautiful eyebrows and strong eyes, and was irresistible. At that moment, Bai Jiaxuan stood up and bowed, and the most important change occurred in the relationship between the two of them.
Bai Jiaxuan returned to Bailu Village and immediately made preparations for the wedding. Wu Changgui carried his daughter and dowry on a mule and drove into Bailu Town the night before, temporarily staying at Mr. Leng's traditional Chinese medicine hall. Mr. Leng was hired as a matchmaker. On the wedding day
, Bai Jiaxuan followed the sedan to Mr. Leng's traditional Chinese medicine hall to marry the bride, and everything went smoothly.
This was the seventh wedding night. Jiaxuan felt a sense of embarrassment and embarrassment when he looked at the five women. This was the only one among the seven women he had married that he had met before marriage. Not only had they met, but they were as familiar as sisters.
. He goes to the mountains once or twice every year during the off-farm time, mostly during the unbearable summer heat. Firstly, he comes to take care of the business of purchasing Chinese medicinal materials, and secondly, he goes to the mountains to escape the heat; he eats and sleeps at Uncle Wu's house, and spends time with Wu.
The eldest daughter, the fourth daughter, the third daughter, the second daughter, and the two younger brothers are like brothers and sisters, and have never been taboo about anything. Now, suddenly facing a pair of shining red candles, they feel restrained and embarrassed. Grass jelly——
The name of the fifth girl - she could no longer bear the scorching heat outside the mountains. She took off her long-sleeved clothes and pants leisurely, exposing her smooth and delicate arms and legs in front of him. There were three small mallets tied in her delicate waist.
Jiaxuan pretended to be curious and touched the small mallet to relieve his embarrassment. Xiancao turned around, and there were three mallets of the same size tied to the waistband of his lower abdomen. He asked: "Xiancao, what are you bringing?
What is this little stick for?" Xiancao said without hesitation: "Fight ghosts."
Bai Jiaxuan trembled suddenly and was dumbfounded. The mallet must have been unscrewed from peach wood. Peach wood warded off evil spirits, and ghosts were afraid of peach wood pegs. Six peach wood mallets were used to deal with six unwilling ghosts who were carried out from the kang.
It can be seen that Xiancao had made full preparations in advance. The surge in his heart suddenly extinguished. Xiancao ignored him and lay down with a clattering stick, using a checkered sheet.
He put it on his body. He also lay down frustrated. The warm breath was as refreshing as the fragrance of roses. The gray and coldness in his heart was gradually driven out, and an uncontrollable thirst arose. He mustered up the courage to reach out to her
He took him into his arms, caressing her neck, plump shoulders and most tempting breasts. She accepted silently, without panic or resistance. She trembled slightly in his arms, and her breathing became rapid.
Encouraged, he stretched his hand towards his abdomen, but touched an unlucky little mallet, and felt a cold feeling in his heart. She grabbed his hand and told him that before getting married, his mother had prepared a banquet to invite him.
A judge who exorcised ghosts and evil spirits left six small peach wood mallets and left. She said: "The judge said that you should wear your belt for a hundred days before taking off your belt." When Bai Jiaxuan heard this, he couldn't help but get angry: "Another one.
"A hundred days is a taboo." Xiancao said: "A hundred days is not a hundred years. You have the right to marry me after a hundred days. Just bear with it, a hundred days will pass quickly. If you don't think about me, you should think about you.
Do you really want to marry a woman with eight or ten bedrooms..." Hearing her friendly yet calm words, he took out the hand held by her and hugged her tightly, but he was extremely sober in his heart. He sat
He got up and put on his clothes again. Xiancao asked: "What are you doing?" Jiaxuan said: "I will sleep with Brother Lu in the horse bay, so as not to suffer the pain of sleeping together." Xiancao said: "That's fine. You sleep.
I feel bad here too. But... you go to the horse racing stable tomorrow night. Today is... the first night." Jiaxuan said decisively: "Forget it, I'll go tonight at night."
Jiaxuan pulled a sheet and tucked it under his arm, unlatched the door, and walked out. Xiancao hesitated for a while and suddenly jumped off the kang: "Wait a minute." She called him, pulled him in again, and turned around to insert him.
He bolted the door and pulled the sheet away from his armpits. Jiaxuan was stunned, fearing that she would be angry, but he said kindly: "I listen to you, it's for my own good and your own good..." The grass jelly climbed onto the kang again and started playing
He cut off his words: "Forget it", he ripped off the six small mallets on his belt one by one, took off his tight vest with a "swish", and the two flew out of the nest like two white pigeons, and wiped them off again.
He took off his shorts, lay naked on the kang, and said, "Even if I wake up and die tomorrow morning, I will be willing to do so."
