Chapter 167

Village head Zhao's family is a big family with a gatehouse.The two thick old locust trees next to the Guangmen Gate make people feel respectful.These two trees have grown for at least 100 years. Needless to say, the Zhao family must be an old household with a long line of descendants and loyal people.This kind of family is exactly what Baojiaxian likes to go to.

Du Juan's second aunt looks like a very cheerful woman in her sixties.Seeing Du Juan, his eyes lit up first: "Ah, the second uncle and grandma don't dare to recognize her anymore. You stinky girl, it doesn't matter if you forgot the second uncle and grandma. You also forgot the scallion pancakes that the second uncle baked?"

Du Juan jumped over and hugged the second uncle and grandma.After saying a few personal words, he introduced everyone to her.The woman hurriedly let everyone in.The main room is quite spacious, and the Eight Immortals have already prepared fruits on the table.As soon as they entered the house, the second uncle made tea and water for everyone.

Zhou Shui took a look at the house. This house should be an old building with high stilts. The four walls are plastered with snow-white plaster, and the floor is covered with thin bricks.There are also several pieces of hardwood furniture in the room, and a pear wood Eight Immortals table with fruit and tea.There is a pair of top box stuffy cabinets of rosewood on the north wall.In the middle of the stuffy cabinet is a desk, and above the desk is a picture of rich and noble peonies. This picture is a bit strange, neither a word written nor a living thing, but a splash of bright red and green colors. freehand.The main room was tidy and clean, and the blue bricks under the feet could reflect the shadows of people.

Elder Zhou walked up to the peony picture and bowed, but everyone except Zhou Shui didn't know why.However, they all imitated Zhou Lao's appearance and bowed respectfully.Zhou Shui knew what was going on, the peony picture hidden behind his head must be the incense bit picture of Baojiaxian.The reason why there are no words written on the screen and no living things are drawn is to avoid that when the incense is burned, the direction of the incense head will be messed up, and the incense will be enshrined to the fairy seat hidden behind the screen.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou and the others had accurately found Xiangtang as soon as they entered the house, Village Chief Zhao and his wife also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.After drinking tea, Mr. Zhou asked Village Chief Zhao, "Does our family usually raise incense?"

Village head Zhao shook his head: "Ever since our old lady is gone, I haven't burned incense again." Turning his head, he said to his second uncle and grandma: "It's been more than ten years, right?"

The second uncle and grandma nodded: "No, it's been 12 years. Before leaving, my mother took my hand and said: Our family's Baojiaxian has a great kindness to our ancestors. As long as we have something to eat, there must be a fairy." The house is a stick of incense. Don't wait too long."

Elder Zhou nodded, and said, "What's the specifics, did the old man tell you?"

At this time, Village Chief Zhao took over the words: "When I was young, my grandfather mentioned to me that it was in the Qing Dynasty before. Our family had a business in the Northeast. I was driving a big pulley cart with two horses. It was the time when I was in the early years, and I encountered a heavy snow on the way. The snow was so heavy that I stepped on it, and the snow did not reach my big crotch. Looking around, Bai It was a vast expanse, with no roads. Everyone couldn't tell the difference between southeast and north, and the whole family was about to freeze to death in the wilderness. At this time, the horse's rein opened and stretched straight. It was obvious that there was someone ahead. Leading the horse and walking, but I couldn't see anyone. The car behind followed the car in front, and was led to a village. Only after asking for some boiled water and eating a warm meal, the family was alive. Waiting for the snow to stop I have been on the road for two days, and I met Hu Zi again—the Northeast is called Hu Zi, and we are called bandits here. Hu Zi saw that there were a lot of soft fur on the car, and he was going to kill and rob. Just fly a handful of snowflakes out of thin air. The snowflakes in the northeast are not the same as the snow here. The snowflakes there are like sand. The beard is blinding the eyes. There are many beards, but whoever raises the knife will be blinded. See also When they didn't see the person who sprinkled Xuemozi, the beards became frightened. They threw the knife and said, "It seems that there are immortals protecting you, so you can go away. In this way, the whole family came back safely." "

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou said, "Oh, this is a great kindness. Then why did the incense burn out when we got here?"

Village head Zhao was a little awkward, and was about to speak in an embarrassing manner.It was the second uncle who took the lead: "Isn't it? He is a party member. Our old lady confessed, so she confessed. He can't confess. He has become a bullshit village head, so he has to set an example."

At this time, Du Juan suddenly added: "Second uncle, grandma, the ancients said it well-don't take the village chief as a cadre. Think of my second uncle, but he is a serious village official."

The whole room almost collapsed from laughter.After finally stopping laughing, Mr. Zhou asked Village Chief Zhao again: "How many Baojiaxians are there in our family's incense book?"

Village Chief Zhao scratched his head: "When my mother was here, it seemed that there were three of them. But since there has been no incense for more than ten years, I'm not sure how many there are."

Elder Zhou asked again: "Then why do you suddenly want to take care of incense?"

At this time, the second uncle answered the words: "This is my idea. There are no less than dozens of families in our village who are open and dark. Why can't our fairy family make offerings? If the superiors don't let , then our poor village head will quit. Besides..."

Speaking of this, the second uncle twitched again.After a pause, he continued: "A few nights ago, I kept dreaming. I dreamed of an old man in his 70s, with a goatee, wearing double-breasted gray cloth clothes, and holding a copper coin in his hand. Cigarette, just sit here." The second aunt pointed to the head of the Eight Immortals table, and said: "This old man told me: Ersuo's family..."

At this time, Village Chief Zhao interjected weakly, speaking to Elder Zhou: "Er Suo is my nickname."

Mr. Zhou smiled, and continued to listen to his second uncle and grandma: "The next term, the official Ersuo should not be asked to work again. The village chiefs in other villages are all young people. Ersuo can't compare with others. They are young and strong. It can lead the villagers to get rich. There have been gossips in our village for a long time, but they are just in the way of old sensibilities, and people are too embarrassed to talk face to face."

Zhou Shui peeked at Village Chief Zhao, who was a little embarrassed.

I only heard the second uncle and grandma go on to say: "The old man lit a pot of cigarettes, took a sip, and said: I don't think the little girls in our town health center look like doctors. Fatty Zhao's eldest granddaughter Yang Nai, Yang milk will prescribe medicine? What good is that medicine thing? Besides, this is not a disease. Just pinch the child twice to make the child feel better? Also, Zhao Laoliu’s eldest grandson, The child is so rich, with two dimples when he smiles. The child cries at night, and the family is at a loss. Later, the child is given bitter pills, can that be good? It is not right. It was hitting the flower god during the day. Burn a piece of paper money after working hard, and nothing will happen. There is a dream of Red Mansions, you guys, you are not as good as an illiterate Grandma Liu."
