Chapter 83 Half a pair of scissors

Chapter 83 Half a pair of scissors

Sun Xueli forgot how he left Liu's Tofu Shop, his mind was full of Liu Xiuxia's smiles.He was thinking about how to get this beauty and avenge his brother...

Every day, Sun Xueli would go to Liu's Tofu Shop to buy bean curd, and he would chat with Liu Mingzong whenever he had something to do, which would always make Old Man Liu laugh out loud.After the tofu shop closed at night, Liu Mingzong secretly discussed with his wife Guan Shi about getting Sun Xueli into his family.The Guan family is also very satisfied with Sun Xueli, but only because of Sun Xueli's brother, Sun Xueyi, a scoundrel.One day, if the two old men let go, maybe that scoundrel will do something.

Liu Mingzong finally let out a long sigh, what Guan said made sense.In the future, it would be a trivial matter for that scoundrel to find out that his elder brother was married into the Liu family and extort some money. If his daughter was bullied, it would be a big deal.The matter of recruiting grandson Xueli stopped here. Of course, the old couple wanted a satisfactory husband that their daughter wanted to find.

Liu Xiuxia was still busy in the front hall, starting to grind the soybeans soaked during the day into pulp.Thinking that tomorrow is my father's [-]th birthday, I will be too busy to have time, so I need to grind more soybeans, otherwise the naivety will be sold out.Liu Xiuxia has been busy until she wakes up before taking a rest...

Just as the winter night was waning, Sun Xueli was also sharpening the pair of scissors that had been divided into two halves.For several months, Sun Xueli had to sharpen two halves of the scissors every day, and the silk tape on the scissors had long been worn off.The two halves of the scissors were sharpened and sharpened, and a pot of sharpening water condensed into ice as Sun Xueli slowly sharpened the knife...

The next day, Sun Xueli came to Liu's Tofu Shop as usual, but found that the shop was not open.After asking, I found out that it was Dong Weng's [-]th birthday and he was closed for one day.Sun Xueli secretly called out that the opportunity had come, and Sun Xueli had been guarding outside the back door of Liu's mansion since early in the morning.Just after the hour, the three daughters came to Liu's Tofu Shop with their uncles and children.

The three married daughters, Sun Xueli, all knew each other, and they were all married to honest fishermen in Mudu Zhuangzi.The eldest daughter is over [-] years old, and the children are about the same age as Liu Xiuxia.Liu Mingzong looked at his children and grandchildren and laughed happily, and the three sisters all praised the younger concubine for growing more beautiful.

Where there are women, there is a lot of laughter. The sons-in-law brought their own birthday cakes and noodles to celebrate the old man's birthday.The four daughters took out their satin jackets and presented them to Liu Mingzong.

The room was full of laughter and laughter, and the women were busy cooking and cooking.Neighbors and neighbors who came to congratulate Liu Mingzong would give birthday cakes and noodles, and Liu's tofu shop was always bustling until dark.There were more than [-] people sitting on the round table in the lobby of the Liu family, and Liu Xiuxia became the one the three sisters and brother-in-law laughed at.

The eldest sister smiled and said: "I think my concubine is three points more beautiful than Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and the ones outside the family are also good hands. If any man marries you, it must be a blessing from his previous life." laughing out loud.

Liu Xiuxia saw that the three sisters were full of children, and when she thought about it, she couldn't help feeling sad and hurriedly said: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready? You eat slowly, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

The table full of wine and food made people's index fingers move. A few young men began to play games, and the women were holding dishes for their children. The table was full of joy...

Sun Xueli was also busy, splashing water with a large wooden bucket at the back door full of icy debris.When the water entered the ground, it became a thin layer of ice. On the ice layer, Sun Xueli froze the half pair of sharpened scissors with the mouth upwards.After all this was done, it was already dark, and the back door of Liu's house was a dead alley, and people in the alley would not come here by detours.

"Tuk, duk, duk" several crisp knocks on the door disturbed the people who were drinking and eating in the room.The third daughter put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "It's so late, who is it?" She got up and was about to open the door, but Liu Mingzong called to stop her.

"You are all guests today, sit down and have a good meal. I'll open the door, it must be the neighbors who came to celebrate the birthday." The people at the table thought it was right, Liu Mingzong took some birthday cakes and birthday noodles from his side and held the lantern Go to open the door.

After opening the door, Liu Mingzong leaned over to look left and right, but there was no one there when he was about to close the door.I heard someone coughing lightly not far away, but I couldn't see anyone when I lifted the lantern.As soon as he stepped out of the door, he slipped and fell to the ground. The half pair of scissors on the ground was piercing the center, and the birthday cakes and noodles in his hands were scattered and rolled...

Seeing that Liu Mingzong didn't say a word, Sun Xueli fell for it, and the hot blood spurting from his chest quickly melted the ice that was frozen with half a pair of scissors.Just as I was about to go forward to pull out the scissors, I heard someone talking and coming from the room.Before he could pull out the scissors in time, he turned around and sneaked away...

Liu Xiuxia didn't see her father when she brought the dishes, so she asked, "Mother, where's father?"

"Hehe, your father just went out to deliver birthday cakes and noodles to those who wish to celebrate his birthday."

Liu Xiuxia complained: "It's so cold outside, and Dad's legs and feet are not good. How can I go outside?"

The third sister said embarrassingly: "I was the one to open the door but Dad insisted on going by himself." The two sisters and concubines came to the back door while talking.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Liu Xiuxia's scream startled everyone in the room, and they all ran over.

The lanterns on the ground were blown out by the strong wind long ago, and they were spun around on the ground by the hanging rope.The door at the door was stained with Liu Mingzong's blood into an irregular and strange pattern.The three sons-in-law carried Liu Mingzong back to the house, only to see a small half of the shiny scissor handle on his chest.

The people in the room couldn't figure out who did it, and if someone stabbed it, they couldn't penetrate the handle of the scissors so deeply.A good happy event turned into a funeral, and the birthday hall became a mourning hall in the blink of an eye.Guan Shi passed out at that time, and the crying and shouting in the room became a mess...

Liu Mingzong's death was bizarre, and the only thing that could be traced was the half pair of scissors.The county magistrate in Gusu City had also come to Liu’s house after receiving reports from three sons-in-law. The county magistrate took it away as a clue to investigate the case.As for who knocked on the door that night, it is difficult to find out.Anyway, the county magistrate searched for a long time and found nothing, so the case was shelved.

Everyone in the Liu family dressed in hemp and filial piety and invited old monks to do this ceremony, and they were buried in the earth three days later.

Sun Xueli had been secretly following the funeral of the Liu family, and he came to express his condolences when the Liu family was crying.

That day, Sun Xueli didn't know who would open the door, so he stood guard not far from the door with half a pair of scissors in hand.If there are many people coming, we will wait for the opportunity, but unexpectedly, old man Liu will come out.In this way, he killed Liu Mingzong without anyone noticing, and he became an idler watching the fun...

Liu's Tofu Shop was closed for more than half a month, and reopened after finishing Liu Mingzong's Panax notoginseng.People in Mudu no longer mentioned Liu Mingzong's death, but Liu Xiuxia never forgot the half pair of scissors.Liu's tofu business is still booming, and Sun Xueli still comes to buy tofu every day.

Mrs. Guan would think about things when she was idle in the house, so Liu Jixia had no choice but to ask her mother to come to the front hall to help her take care of the tofu shop.Seeing the gloomy expressions of the mother and daughter, Sun Xueli said insinuatingly: "When Xiaosheng was studying in Gusu, he also heard of similar bizarre things. It was a house where people lived and was haunted by evil spirits. kill."

Liu Xiuxia retorted: "My family has lived in this house for three generations. How could the feng shui be so bad? My father was assassinated with scissors. One day the villain will be caught."

Sun Xueli said with a smile: "Every household has scissors, but why did they hurt Old Man Liu?"

Guan Shi who was listening at the side felt that it made sense and said to Liu Xiuxia: "Xiu Gu, we would rather believe something than nothing. Now we are the only two mothers and daughters left in this room. What if It’s okay if something happens.”

Liu Xiuxia is a filial son, and she didn't dare to disobey Guan's words, she nodded slowly: "Mother said yes, then tomorrow I will go to the Sanqing Temple in Gusu and ask a Taoist priest to take a look."

Sun Xueli hurriedly said: "Ms. Liu is a young lady who has not left the court, so let me go to this kind of public appearance. Anyway, I have also lived in Gusu City for a few years, and I know a lot better than you on the ground."

What she said was quite reasonable, and Guan was also worried about Liu Xiuxia, so she thanked Sun Xueli and asked him to help him go to the Sanqing Temple...

At noon the next day, Sun Xueli brought an old Taoist who was over a hundred and a half years old with seven inches of white beard floating on his chest.The old Taoist held the compass in his left hand, and swung the whisk in his right hand lightly. When he entered Liu's Tofu Workshop, he didn't answer anyone, didn't speak, and looked around with the compass...

The old Taoist looked at the scene of a stick of incense in Liu's tofu workshop, finally sighed and prepared to leave.Guan Shi and Liu Xiuxia were confused by the old Taoist. How can Mr. Feng Shui leave without saying a word?

Mrs. Guan hurriedly stopped the old Taoist and asked, "Mister, why don't you just sigh without saying a word?"

The old Taoist replied: "This house is full of wealth, but it prevents the five ghosts from spreading their wealth. In less than a hundred days, this house will add new funerals."

Guan's tears came down when he heard the words, and he held the old Taoist: "Sir, there is a way to solve it, as long as I can break the old body, I will kneel down for you." Guan's.

"It's not difficult to crack it, and it can be broken with a united formation." A good courtyard was changed into two rooms with only the front hall and the back room.

Mrs. Guan also believed in the words of the old Taoist. The old Taoist said with a smile: "After changing the house, there will be a happy event within a hundred days. This girl has not yet left the cabinet. Within a hundred days, this girl's Hong Luan The star is coming."

Liu Xiuxia panicked: "Prince Daoist, this is absolutely unacceptable. Aunt Xiu is filial and will definitely keep filial piety for my father for three years. The movement of the red luan's star must be the result of the Taoist priest's miscalculation, right?"

The old Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Girl Hongluan is coming, the fact is that the celebration is for the funeral. The secret must not be leaked, you will know if you believe it or not." The old Taoist stepped forward and said no more.

"Hurry up, Gu Xiu will bring 50 taels of silver to the Taoist priest."

"Oh..." Liu Xiuxia ran outside the door and took the cloth bag containing 50 taels of scattered silver to the old man.

"Haha, the girl is suspicious, I won't accept the money." The old Taoist left without looking back. He never expected that everything that happened a hundred days later would be determined by the old Taoist...
