Quick Transmigration: Ten Thousand Worlds Charter Woman

Chapter 273 Credit Knife
August 22.

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Chinese New Year!
At noon on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

What does it mean?
Seeing this unexpected date, He Xiaoman was at a loss, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Grandma was a spiritualistic old lady before she named herself Wrinkle Girl.

Of course, the only thing grandma cares about is her own heart, because she has always lived in this land influenced by Shamanism, Taoism, Buddhism, and folk stories passed down by her elders. Grandma doesn't believe in any sect, but she has her own set of accident theories. and principles.

She believes in retribution and the legends of ghosts and gods, so in the childhood story told by her grandmother to He Xiaoman, July [-]th is a very special day, full of eerie and strange things, and children must never leave the house on this day step by step.

In fact, as long as He Xiaoman can remember, as long as the tenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, grandma will not let all the children in the family go out to play at night, and the ban will not be lifted until the twentieth of the lunar calendar.

The door of grandma's house was closed after supper, and no one was allowed to enter through the night.

He Xiaoman always thought that other people's homes were like this, until the whole family moved back to the county. It seems that there are not so many taboos on the [-]th of July at the grandfather's house. There are piles of people burning paper.

At night at eight or nine o'clock, behind the flickering flames are faces that are not very clear, burning more or less various ingots and paper money, telling each family's real or coping thoughts and joys and sorrows.

After seeing it twice, He Xiaoman unconsciously extended the habit of grandma's house to the county town. Even if her parents didn't force her not to go out to play on this day, He Xiaoman would still stay at home obediently.

Now that he suddenly recalled these things, He Xiaoman realized that the things that he had taken for granted were unusual. What exactly were grandma and grandpa doing on the night of July [-]th?
Those July [-]th days spent in Huaishu Castle in my childhood suddenly took on a three-pointed weirdness.

The next day's breakfast was extremely lively.

He Xiaoman was a little absent-minded because of the blood shrine incident last night, but Zhao Qingming and Yuan Limin were very emotional. They asked He Xiaoman if he would mind recording some videos in some places of the yard and house, such as the stone road, such as the backyard The flowers in the peach tree front yard, they want to use the residents in the old house as the protagonists of the video in the future to record some life moments.

Of course, we must pay attention to protecting everyone's privacy.

He Xiaoman knew that in recent months, Zhao Qingming and Yuan Limin had been at home with no income because of the death curse.

On the one hand, they have to pay high rent, although He Xiaoman thinks that this is what they should pay him.On the one hand, but full of panic and no harvest, the taste must be uncomfortable.

Anyway, there is nothing shameful on my side, so I told the two people not to take pictures of the proprietress, especially the little fresh meat around the proprietress, and don't take pictures of the neighbors.

She was afraid that the boss would come over in the middle of the night and caress the back of her neck affectionately. Others would think that this man loved her to the death.

As for the rest, just ask for their own consent.

Thinking about Bai Kai, He Xiaoman took out his mobile phone and called Chang Jin. Everything was normal at Chang Jin's side, but Vice President Chang didn't have time to meet her during the day, so he had to make time for the appointment after get off work.

As for Ou Jie, since there is a boss here, and the lady boss has gone to the North Pole to cool off, naturally there is no need for a temporary girlfriend, He Xiaoman, to come out to show her affection, so He Xiaoman stays with her grandmother at home during the day, and Comrade Zhang Caihua is very happy to date his old girlfriend They played eight laps.

For Zhang Caihua, who entered retirement life early, there is nothing that cannot be solved by eight rounds of mahjong.

Before it was too hot, He Xiaoman walked around the yard with his grandmother.

Now the old lady is able to get rid of crutches and help He Xiaoman walk from the front yard to the backyard, but it is slower than before. The last time I went to the hospital for a review, the doctor praised that the old lady must have received careful care and rehabilitation from her family before she recovered. so good.

She is a lucky old lady.

The wrinkled girl laughed like a flower, every wrinkle reveals arrogance.

The grandfather and grandson said this slowly as they walked. Over there, Zhao Qingming and Yuan Limin were studying He Xiaoman's gravel road. They said they found a tourmaline for a while, and said that it looked like turquoise. It looked a bit like before. The Jiang family's brothers.

As the breeze passed by, the peach blossoms in the backyard rustled and fell. It really felt like a rain of flowers. He Xiaoman and grandma missed the past for a while. The old people are more nostalgic. There are only various memories.

"Grandma, on July [-]th this year, you are still closing the door and not allowing us to enter!"

Grandma was startled by He Xiaoman's sudden question, and her steps became chaotic. After a long time, she said, "No need, I won't need it forever."

When the old man passed the knife to their fifth room, most of those brothers and sisters moved to Yunnan and Guizhou, only they stayed in the old house to keep the promise more than 100 years ago.

The old lady looked at He Xiaoman meaningfully, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoman, do you know what a 'credit knife man' is?"

He Xiaoman shook her head, it was the first time she heard this word.

Grandma walked slowly under the parasol, where there were two reclining chairs. After she sat down, she motioned for He Xiaoman to sit down too.

"Have you also heard that the knife of our Zhang family was passed down from our ancestors? Actually, the ancestors of the Zhang family did not kill pigs. Strictly speaking, our ancestors were barely a scholarly family. Later, they seemed to be involved in something. Let's fight, the ancestors were dismissed from office, the ancestral fields were confiscated, and the whole family was almost starving to death, so they were exiled outside the customs.

The wind blows and the peach blossoms fall. He Xiaoman listens to his grandmother talking about ancient times in the very faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Later, there was a flood in the Northeast, and the family had no crops. Everyone ran to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick up mountain products. The beasts in the mountains also came out, and many people were injured. People in the village were afraid to go out. At this time, the village came. A credit man."

"Scissors, kitchen knife, sickle, but he wants to give the butcher's knife to your grandpa's grandpa's grandpa on credit."

"The ancestor refused to take it, but the man said to go ahead, the whole family won't be hungry after taking this knife."

These credit knives claim to be members of the Guigumen. Their knives are not sold on credit, and they are only credited to specific people.

He Xiaoman was very curious, so he asked grandma: "Then how much did we pay for the kitchen knife?"
