Chapter 24: Hu Laoshi want to move the real thing
The room was quiet, no one said anything for a while.
Hu Laoshi seems to be thinking about something, or is also not clear how things, just pretend to look frowning thinking, because I see him from time to time also shook his head.
After a while, my grandfather first said, "The matter of selling the gold bars, I know, they found me to talk to your second uncle."
"When was it sold?" I asked.
"It's been four or five days." Grandpa sighed and said, "Our family, our family also sold one."
When I heard this, I almost didn't fall off my chair, and said with some angry anxiety, "Is our family also short of money to spend, so much money!"
Probably my voice is too high, right? Originally in the house doing needlework mother said: "Yinle, that gold bar is my decision to sell a piece of it, how to talk to your grandfather you?" Saying this, Niang lifted the curtain and came out from inside, glaring at me fiercely.
"Mother, grandpa, I …… am not, anyway ……" I dry anxious but also can not help, originally, how can I be angry with grandpa and loud voice to speak it, this is still mother in the house. To change is the father in front of the child, early big ear scraping fan over. I said sullenly: "Mother, our family is not short of money, why do we still have to sell gold bars ah?"
"Isn't it because of you? Hmph!" Mother coldly snorted, said: "Originally promised the matchmaker, said before the year to your engagement, Liu Guisheng two said that you will get married this year, that will not spend it, originally the family has enough money, who knows you have caused such a big thing, this is not, the money has to be smashed into the gold bars do not sell which have the money for you to get married a daughter-in-law ah?"
"Ah?" I was dumbfounded, how did I forget about this, this is too fast, right? It seems that our young man's character is really good, Liu Guisheng and his family can't wait to marry their daughter to us, Liu Yawen can't wait to be my daughter-in-law.
Chen Jin in the side child immediately shouted: "ah, good thing good thing, Yinle you kid have to treat ah, our gang you really on the lead, no no, I have to go to find brothers to say, see how to clean up you."
"Don't think about that good thing, there's no sign of the eight now." My mother glared at Chen Jin, and then said to me angrily: "You have a problem, Liu Guisheng side of the child with the matchmaker said to wait, for fear that you were sentenced to live in prison, can not afford to let the daughter wait, now you are out, but the reputation of the bad, people are happy to recruit you as a son-in-law is still not certain."
My heart thumped, grandmother, don't really because of this, can't marry Liu Ya Wen as a daughter-in-law ah. This is very likely, in those days, not to mention that you have lived in prison, you are arrested by the police station has been fined, your reputation is also stinking, have a daughter's family on these are very taboo, generally are not happy to marry their daughters to have had this kind of situation of the boy.
"Da Niu family, go back to the house." Grandpa said indifferently.
Niang opened her mouth, the words she wanted to say didn't come out, nodded her head and went back to the inner room.
"Old Fourth, tell me, what should we do with all this gold bars sold?" Grandpa looked at Hu Laoshi very calmly.
Chen Jin and I did not dare to speak, probably this is the majesty of being an elder, grandfather just spoke very calmly, very calm expression, but let our hearts are lifted up, a little afraid of him. We here to say a sentence should not be said, you think, although my grandfather usually temper is not very big, but in the village prestige high, many people are afraid of my grandfather, is it only because of fear of my father or fear of my second uncle's sake? No, think about it from another angle, can educate my father such a father has been to the battlefield and fought in the war, my second uncle such a son who is not afraid of the earth, you say, my grandfather as a father, I'm afraid that it is not a good thing, right?
Originally still smoking a tobacco pouch to think about things Hu Laoshi, finally do not smoke, will smoke pot knocked a few times, very seriously said: "I'm afraid, to be a big deal, alas."
"Out what big deal, what will happen?" I asked cautiously next to me, my eyes still look at my grandfather from time to time.
Hu Laoshi sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know."
"Fuck!" I cursed in my heart, sitting next to me Chen Jin eight into also cursed in his heart, look at the boy grimaced at Hu Laoshi that bear.
If not for my grandfather in front of me, Chen Jin and I may be how to ridicule Hu Laoshi.
This is not bullshit? If you don't know, then don't say it to scare people ah, this guy made the thunder so loud, so want to rainstorm like, purely disturbing the people's heart.
Grandpa was stunned for a moment, also seems to be very dissatisfied with the words of Hu Laoshi, after a while before faintly said: "always have to do some preparations in advance, Laoshi, you're an expert in this area know more, these days on the labor of your old bones it, there are any strength work, need young people to run an errand, you just call Yinle them."
"Ai, don't worry, Brother Zhao, I have to protect the village's peaceful life even if I have to put up my old bones." Hu Laoshi didn't look ambitious, just nodded somewhat feebly, "Let's go, first go back to prepare things, Yinle, Chen Jin ah, the two of you go with me, there is something good to help a hand."
Chen Jin and I originally did not want to go, but Grandpa was calmly watching from the sidelines, so we both had to nod our heads and agree.
After a few polite words, Hu Laoshi walked out, Chen Jin and I hung our heads and followed with reluctance, with an expression like a good citizen who was forced to dig fortifications and build artillery buildings for the devils.
But out of our home that alley, I and Chen Jin immediately original form, a left and a right to Hu Lao Si to the middle children, while walking, while asking Hu Lao Si in the end to do what to go, there is no certainty, can not guarantee that if there is no way to tell the truth, we do not have to go to do that useless, think of another way is.
Grandma's black snake spirit and yellow wolf spirit we are not the same to kill it, did not let you Hu Laoshi what effort, and you Hu Laoshi every time to talk about God, in the end, the evil things are not so mysterious powerful.
The most important thing is that we are on your Hu Lao Si's ability, really do not dare to praise, really do not rest assured ah.
Hu Laoshi didn't get angry because of our two despise as well as sarcasm, more naturally get used to it. And Hu Laoshi also know, this can not be blamed on all of us young people are dog face, say turn over, after all, you are a professional clergyman, but many of these according to belong to your profession within the thing, ask you but ask three do not know, that is very embarrassing, very lost standards, that is to smash the brand ……
Dissatisfaction to dissatisfaction, Chen Jin and I still want to follow Hu Laoshi to his home, or to listen to him to help him out, the first is the grandfather commanded, the second, can pull pus is a good plaster, at least people Hu Laoshi or professionals, we would like to find a more professional, that also have to be not?
Waiting for the Hu Lao Si's home, a courtyard, my heart that irritation gas calm a lot of very strange feeling. Look at Chen Jin, this kid is also full of doubt, but think it should be the reason that this feeling is very comfortable, Chen Jin did not say anything, just and I looked at each other, followed Hu Lao Si into the house.
Hu Lao Si asked us to help him to pick up the house, this matter is good, young people are able to produce strength, can work.
Three times five removed two, soon the house picked up out, those dry spells and what are put together for him, Hu Laoshi to a pile of talismanic paper on the pressure of the brick, and then greeted us to move the table set incense burner, set the altar, kill the chicken blood ……
After all ready, Chen Jin and I can not help but strange up, some incredulous look at the altar placed in front of the main door of the house, really professional ah!
The incense burner is placed in the center, the candlestick is placed on both sides; the talisman paper is placed together, and the copper coins are displayed on the front.
A bowl of water, a bowl of chicken blood, mahogany sword on the red line; a handful of short incense, a pile of yellow paper, three kneeling pads in front of the altar.
Hu Laoshi yellow robe, cap buckle head, cap before a round of gossip, yin and yang fish through the righteousness. See Hu Laoshi walked with big eight steps like an opera like walking to the back of the table, raised his hand to pick up the hands of a roll of cloth, brush pull a pull open, it turned out to be a painting, painted above a back with the sword of the old man, see the old man beard and hair, Lingran fairy, robe drumming, like the wind, fairy wind and Taoist bones, so that people can not help but look at this next to send out a sigh of appreciation, real people also!
Hang the painting on the wall, Hu Lao Si walked back to the table, twisted his head to the portrait kneeling down, muttering chanting up, as if it was something: "Ancestor in the above, the first do not know dozens of generations of grandson to you kowtow, please bless me, give me the power to it, I'm Hu Lao Si …… I'm an old man with a small ……"
Well, I admit that I am bullshitting it, because I simply can't remember what nonsense Hu Lao Si muttered at that time.
"Hey, Yinle, it's really like that hey, interesting, interesting ……" Chen Jin curious are a little excited, pulling me to stand on the side, "You say this Hu Lao Si will not invite out than the white fox spirit also powerful old I'm not sure if he's going to be able to get the white fox spirit to come out. From the looks of it, Hu Lao Si really wants to get real."
I do not care to look at Hu Lao Si there alone is very focused on muttering prayers and reciting incantations, side tiptoe covered Chen Jin's ears whispered: "The ass of the real, Hu Lao Si eighty percent is to do to us to see it, bluffing us, to save has been underestimating people, I am a little bit regret all day to clip the stick to say that people, so many years of age is also not easy, we are still really grandson. "
"Well, yes call Hu Laoshi grandpa." Chen Jin said very seriously.
"Fuck!" I hit Chen Jin with my elbow, why does this kid always answer the question.
"Don't move, focus." Chen Jin stopped joking with me, "If there really is some ancestor spirit this time, we still need to learn some skills."
I thought about it, "We'll learn as long as we live, one more skill won't hurt. I stopped talking and concentrated on watching Hu Laoshi dancing there.
Oh, no no, Hu Laoshi that is not jumping big god, people that is playing really Taoist magic it, although Hu Laoshi play is not familiar, is a half knife, but absolutely authentic, not those other goddesses or something special child set up altar to invite some messy demonic and evil things on the body, and then come out to scare people.
Hu Lao Si finished reading, get up, very standard bowing salute, closed his eyes, mouth muttered a few times, and then violently opened his eyes, only to see the eyes shining, the eyes of God, picked up the table on the mahogany sword, in front of the table to lift the sword dance, but also really danced like a pattern. Previously really did not see, Hu Lao Si this old body actually have kung fu background, or else can not be practiced so standard and so imposing swordsmanship.
