Chapter 46: Preparations for the Night of Returning to the Soul
After all, Xiao Qiang is a man. After listening to Xiao Yu's words, he felt that it made sense. He immediately nodded and said, "That's okay, but you lied to the police, okay? We are all honest people. If we are targeted by the police, we will be punished."
It’s a joke.”
Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Qiang speechlessly, then opened the lid of the pot, grabbed a steamed bun, grinned because it was so hot, and said, "Wow, it's burning me to death, dad, eat it quickly."
Using steamed buns to change the subject, Xiao Yu's parents turned their attention as expected. Mother and son each took a steamed bun and ate it, enjoying themselves for a while.
Another two days passed, but nothing happened in these two days. The villagers were still picking apples. Xiao Yu had nothing to do, drawing talismans at home. Of course, the most important thing was to go to Taoist Bai and ask him to find one for him.
Fake masters will be able to raise their worth when the time comes.
Of course, Taoist Master Bai's efficiency is quite good. In one day, he found an old Taoist priest from nowhere. The Taoist priest looked like an immortal, with a fly whisk in his hand and a short beard. He looked quite advanced.
Human posture.
However, this old Taoist priest has nothing but appearances. I heard from Taoist Master Bai that this old guy is not only lustful, but also a gambler, but he has a good skin and can make a lot of money by just going out and performing rituals for others.
It's just that Xiao Yu asked the other party to be his master, but he had to pay a price. In the words of the old Taoist priest, it was an appearance fee, one thousand yuan per game, no bargaining! In the end, it was for Taoist Master Bai's sake that he gave Xiao Yu a bargain.
For two hundred yuan, Xiao Yu cursed the other party for several hours.
The next night, Xiao Yu received a call from Captain Huang, saying that Officer Sun had agreed. As long as his master stepped in, it would be fifty thousand, but if the zombies were not caught, there would be no penny. The two chatted.
After a while, Xiao Yu hung up the phone excitedly and ran to the Taoist temple that night to rehearse a master-disciple game with the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest stayed in the Taoist temple for a day and heard from Taoist Master Bai that Xiao Yu had real abilities and asked him not to only care about money, so when he saw Xiao Yu again, he became much kinder.
However, I have to say that this old Taoist priest who cheated people out of food and drink was really good at acting. Xiao Yu just told the other party the request, and the other party actually acted vividly. Even Taoist Master Bai stood aside and cheered repeatedly.
In the evening, after Xiao Yu and the old Taoist priest finished rehearsing, they just returned home when they saw a middle-aged man coming to the house in a hurry. Xiao Yu also knew this man. He was the son of the old village chief and had been working outside.
After the chief left, he came back overnight, but all he saw was the ashes of the old village chief.
The man was heartbroken after not seeing his father for the last time. He finally bought a coffin and put the ashes of the old village chief in it. He had to observe mourning at home for seven days and then be buried after seven days! But it was a good thing it was cremation, otherwise
, with this weather, it is impossible to leave it for seven days.
"Uncle Xiao, why are you here? Are you looking for my dad?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
At this time, Xiao Qiang also came out of the kitchen with a steamed bun. When he saw the person coming, he immediately put down the steamed bun, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said a few polite words, of course the most comforting words.
"Xiao Qiang, I came here this time to ask Xiao Yu to go. I originally gave my dad a seven-day leave, and tomorrow will be the seventh day, but tomorrow's day doesn't seem to be very good. I'm afraid something will go wrong, so"
.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Tomorrow is the 8th of the Gregorian calendar, which is the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is July 15th, which is the Ghost Festival?"
"Yes, tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, and it is said that the gates of ghosts will open tomorrow, so I am a little scared."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Uncle Xiao is right. Tomorrow, the seventh day, is the night for the village chief's grandfather to return to his soul, but it is indeed a bit tricky when the door of hell is wide open."
In the middle of July, ghosts are everywhere. This is what the old man said, and there is a reason for it. Therefore, the worry of the village chief's son is not unreasonable.
"Xiao Yu, if you have the ability, you have to help uncle. How much money do you want, just ask and uncle will give it to you," Uncle Xiao said anxiously.
Xiao Qiang on the side was so busy that he said, "Hey, what's the money? I'm a fellow villager. If Xiao Yu can help, I will definitely help." After saying this, Xiao Qiang looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, what should we do? Tell Uncle Xiao."
”.
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "My dad is right. The village chief treated us well when he was alive, but we still have to give money. This is a Taoist rule, so I can't break the rule."
"What are you talking about, you little bastard, everyone you see is money, are you obsessed with money?" As he spoke, Xiao Qiang made a move to hit Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu's mother came in from outside the door.
Stopped him in a hurry.
The son of the old village chief also stopped him and said, "Xiao Qiang, don't do anything. Let the child finish his words first."
Xiao Qiang glared at Xiao Yu, then pulled up a stool and motioned for Uncle Xiao to sit down, and then said, "I'm making you laugh. I don't understand what this kid made such a mess. Don't take it personally."
go".
"Xiao Qiang, please don't say that. When I was working in the city, our boss was repairing a house and asked someone to do a feng shui inspection for him. It cost 100,000 yuan for a feng shui inspection. And I don't think that person had the skills of Xiao Yu.
Have the ability".
"One hundred thousand? Look at one hundred thousand in Feng Shui. How about robbing money?" Xiao Qiang's eyes were as wide as bells.
"Of course, people in the city believe this now. I want to learn this from Xiao Yu when I am more than ten years old. It is better than working for others."
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he was speechless. He glanced at Xiao Yu and couldn't help but secretly thought, "No wonder this guy asked for 50,000 yuan. It seems that this thing is really more profitable than growing apples."
Xiao Yu was a little proud. Although Xiao Qiang wanted to hit him just now, Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Qiang was just showing off. Just like last year, Xiao Yu had a fight with a classmate. In the end, his parents came to find them, and Xiao Qiang chased Xiao Yu.
When the child's parents saw this situation, they didn't know what to say, so they took the child and left! After the parents left, Xiao Qiang gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up and said, "Well done, if I had changed
I must be giving him a few punches!"
So although Xiao Qiang is usually very strict, he does it for others to see. Although Xiao Yu is not his biological child, he has always regarded Xiao Yu as his own child. How could he allow others to bully him while he still treats Xiao Qiang as his own child?
Want a lesson.
Seeing his parents and Uncle Xiao looking at him, Xiao Yu stopped showing off and immediately said, "It's actually very simple. Tomorrow, prepare four braziers in the yard, facing the four directions of southeast, northwest, as well as incense candles, paper money, etc. At the same time,
Set up three tables in the yard, just like we are having a banquet, and then make some more steamed buns and have some drinks on hand, and leave the rest to me."
"Is this the end?" Uncle Xiao asked.
"Yes, that's all. Also, as for the cost this time, I just want to give you fifty yuan," Xiao Yu said sheepishly.
Fifty yuan is a lot of money for a child, but for people outside, it is probably not enough for a meal, so when Uncle Xiao heard this, he immediately agreed with great joy.
