Chapter 220
The guest's head was lowered, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his frame, he looked about 50 years old.Zhou Shui pretended to be bored, and started a conversation: "Uncle, can you drink alone?"

The man looked up.Sure enough, he was a middle-aged man with big ears and a loyal face.He looked around and saw that there were no other guests in the room.Then he smiled and said: "I'm away from home, and I don't have any relatives, so why don't I drink alone? The young man with an accent is not a local, right?"

Zhou Shui used the introduction to move the seat to the guest's table, turned his head and greeted Boss Ji: "Lao Ji, serve the cold dishes and wine first." Turning his head and said to the guest: "No, you live in Hebei. You Who are you?"

This guest is also talkative: "If you want to talk about my hometown, I have to say it is Yongping Mansion in Beizhili. However, I have been away to make a living these years, and I haven't returned home for many years. Hey, the countryside is going to be ruined."

North Zhili Yongping Mansion?This is the title of place names in ancient times.Beizhili is the province of HEB, and this week the water knows.Zhou Shui didn't know where Yongping Mansion was.Who still reports place names like this now?This person is a bit strange.

At this time, Boss Ji brought up cold dishes, wine and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.Zhou Shui filled the guest's cup first, and then poured half a cup into his own cup.

The guest first declined: "This... I'm sorry."

Zhou Shui smiled: "It's fate to have a glass of wine with you all the time, and it's not a precious thing, so you're welcome. Besides, we are still fellow villagers. Come, try this dish."

The guests were also optimistic, drinking with glasses, eating with chopsticks, and chatting with Zhou Shui while eating: "Young man, what's your last name?"

"Xiao surname Zhou, Zhou who repeats itself. May I ask you an old man?"

Zhou Shui deliberately didn't mention your surname, but said Taifu, because he had his own ideas - this man looked like he was dressed as a farmer, but his speech and behavior were reasonable, as if he had read books and seen the world.If he doesn't know what Taifu means, then he doesn't have much knowledge, and this drink is just a chance encounter, and there is no other voice-over.If he knew what Taifu was referring to, then this person would be interesting, anyway, he wouldn't be just a farmer.

Sure enough, the guest said: "My surname is Pi, Pi Rixiu's Pi, with a single name of Shen, and my name is Yangzhi."

This made Zhou Shui a little surprised, the surname and first name are nothing, the surprise is that the surprise is on top of this name, a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer, has a name?If it is an old man in his 90s or [-]s, it is possible to have a size. There are not many people in Pishen's age group who have a size.Return Pi Yuexiu's Pi, this Pi Yuexiu is a poet in the late Tang Dynasty. Although he is famous, he is far from being a household name.Zhou Shui was a little surprised by this person's casual words.

Zhou Shui felt embarrassed. According to the old etiquette, it is okay to ask a person from his father's generation, but it is somewhat impolite to ask his name.Zhou Shui served Pi Shenman another drink: "Old man, Xiao Ke is being presumptuous. May I ask what kind of business do you always do?"

Pishen took a sip and said, "I don't do business. I'm looking for a job in an official's house. It's not an official. It's just for running errands, passing on a message, and doing trivial things."

At this time, Boss Ji stir-fried the hot dishes, one plate of oily meat and one plate of fried wood shreds.Boss Ji put the dishes on the table, but the person didn't leave. Da Ma sat down firmly, then took out a wine glass and filled it up for himself.Said: "I just let go of the cover, it's okay, let's have a drink with the two of you." He didn't treat himself as an outsider, and he didn't ask the guests if they were happy.

Zhou Shui frowned. He didn't hate Boss Ji, but he was afraid that Boss Ji would interrupt him.The appearance of a person like Pi Shen at this time was a surprise to Zhou Shui. He vaguely felt that this Pi Shen was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.Even though this was just Zhou Shui's subconscious thought, those things happened one after another without warning.What he was afraid of was that Pi Shen was also a problem, so the most urgent task was to find out the origin of this person.Zhou Shui's nervousness is not unreasonable. City God, Old Motou, and Miss Zhou, which of these characters did not appear inexplicably?It's not bad, these three are positive characters, Zhou Shui is afraid that this Pishen will be a villain.

Boss Ji didn't hear the conversation between Zhou Shui and Pi Shen.He took a sip of his wine, and then the words came: "Old man, I guess you are a craftsman? Looking at your makeup, you must be a carpenter."

Pishen was dumbfounded.He looked at Boss Ji with a half-smile: "How did you see that?"

"Damn, I can't hide it from me. Carpenter Zhao at the west end of the village likes to wear this kind of old-fashioned clothes."

Zhou Shui was a little dumbfounded—is this the same thing?
Pishen didn't refute, saying: "The businessman is doing odd jobs in the government office, running around, doing small things. If you say that you have a little skill, it's not a big skill. Anyone with a long hand can do it." , and earn money from a pot of wine."

Boss Ji belongs to the type of person who is looking for something to talk about, let alone when there is a topic, he immediately asked: "What kind of craft? Talk about it. Maybe you can ask for something."

Pishen looked at Boss Ji, with a half-smile, and said, "Jianzhang. Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask me for a while."

Die disaster?Zhou Shui was almost shocked.This sacrifice is the work of the funeral workers - it is common sense that people like life and hate death, so if a person dies for the first time, there must be resentment, anger, and gloomy qi accumulated in the chest and abdomen, and this qi is stagnated too much Will affect the reincarnation of the dead.The funeral worker must move the chest and abdomen limbs of the deceased to let the evil gas be discharged from the mouth or anus of the deceased.This misfortune is an extremely obscure breath. It is said that if it falls on a person, it will cause illness at the slightest level, and turn one's life back at worst, making people suffer from bad luck for the rest of their lives.The folks are all extremely humble people, either because they have no food or clothing, or because of bad luck, they do this kind of work in desperation.

But although this Pishen looks a bit downcast, he has a good temperament and is quite knowledgeable, why would he do this?

Boss Ji was also frightened, as if he was afraid that Pi Shen's bad breath would hit him, so he ran away.

Pi Shen looked indifferent, and asked Zhou Shui, "Don't be afraid, young man. If you keep fighting with a wretched person like me, the bad days are not far away."

Zhou Shui has even come into contact with real ghosts, so he is afraid of being a disaster.Furthermore, people's destiny is cultivated in previous lives, and if one breath of misfortune is thrown on a person, can the cause and effect be changed and good luck reversed?joke!

Zhou Shui moved forward instead, with a smile on his face: "Uncle Pi, what's the matter? Can you pass it on to me? To be honest, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to do this. If there is no inheritance, the reincarnated people will all harbor resentment, resentful ghosts will be reincarnated, and they will become evil people. Then our society will be messed up."

Pi Shen was obviously taken aback.

Zhou Shui added: "According to me, this kind of calamity is a matter of accumulating virtue, and it has practical benefits compared with hospice care. Think about it, after death, people can be reincarnated in a refreshed and down-to-earth way. How good this is. These martyrs are amazing, if there is no kindness of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who would want to play with dead people, taboo. You can pass it on to me, I don’t care.”

Instead, Pi Shen couldn't laugh or cry.He drank a sip of wine, and after a long time, he seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice was extremely low: "People say that your grandchildren have the vows of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but I still don't dare to believe them all. Listen to your words, Sure enough, it seems that that matter..."

Although Zhou Shui's voice was low, Zhou Shui's hearing was super good, and he still listened to his ears. Although Zhou Shui was mentally prepared before, his face still changed color at this moment.What should Pishen do to explain what he said?Judging from his tone, he understood the situation of the Zhou family, so could this person also be a role in the incident?
Pishen changed the subject: "I'm the only one drinking it, why didn't you drink it?"

Zhou Shui laughed and said, "Refrain. Killing, stealing, adultery, lying, drinking, we Buddhists, it's better not to touch it."

Zhou Shui said again: "Where do you live? Not far away?"

"To tell you the truth, young man, my financial situation is not very good now, so I don't rent a house. There is a mechanical well house at the north end of the village. It used to be used by people who watched the mechanical well, but now it is deserted. I tidied it up and lived there. Pishen took another sip of wine and said, "I won't be staying for long. I'll go back when I'm done."

Zhou Shui took out his wallet, and there were more than 6000 yuan left in the 5000 yuan, which was all in the wallet. Zhou Shui didn't count any more, and handed the money to Pi Shen: "Uncle Pi, the money I brought is rich. You spend first."

Pi Shen was startled for a moment, but then a vigilant expression appeared on his face.Zhou Shui was startled, and hurriedly added: "I will leave the address to you later, and when you are rich, send it to my home."

Pi Shen was smiling all over his face just now, but now his expression became gloomy, he stopped drinking, and looked at Zhou Shui coldly.Seeing Pi Shen's expression, Zhou Shui thought to himself, "Damn, it's broken, it's self-defeating. Also, it's no wonder that he rushed to lend 5000 yuan as soon as we met."

Pishen ignored Zhou Shui, he stood up and asked Boss Ji: "Boss, how much is the food and drink at this table?"

Boss Ji heard their conversation and saw Pi Shen's expression.At this moment, he was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Isn't that Xiao Zhou's treat? Well... that 98 yuan."

Pishen took out a handful of change from his pocket.Counting out 59 yuan, there are no big bills in this money, most of them are ten yuan or five yuan. Pishen put the money on the table and said, "I will pay half of the price for this table of wine. Add the previous ten yuan, and the total is 59 yuan. Yuan."

Putting down the money, Pi Shen didn't even look at Zhou Shui again, leaving the stunned Lao Ji and Zhou Shui and walked away.

When Pi Shen walked to the door, Zhou Shui called out: "Uncle Pi, wait a minute, you misunderstood." Pi Shen didn't look back, and only left one word: Humph!

Zhou Shui was hesitating whether to chase after him or not, when Boss Ji came over and said, "Damn, this guy really doesn't know how to flatter you, so don't bother with him, the meal fee...how is it calculated?"

Zhou Shui ignored Boss Ji, hesitated, and walked out quickly.Under the moon, looking at Pishen's back from afar, he turned a corner and headed north.Zhou Shui wanted to stop him, but he swallowed the words again.

At this time, it was getting dark, Zhou Shui returned to Lao Motou's house, Zhou Lao, Yan Jing, Ruyu and Lao Motou were chatting in the yard, Zhou Shui told everyone what he saw Pi Shen up.Elder Zhou was speechless for a long time, and Zhou Shui asked, "Dad, is this Pi Shenbie an official from the underworld, right?"

Elder Zhou didn't answer, but looked at Old Mo, obviously wanting to hear what Old Mo had to say.Old Motou didn't know why, and he said after a long time: "The rent here is cheaper than in the city, and there are many people from all walks of life and all kinds of people coming in and out. I think this Pishen is new here, otherwise I would have heard of it. There is indeed an abandoned locomotive well house in Beitou, and it can barely accommodate people after tidying it up, why don't we three go over and have a look?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "Listen to Tianyi's words, this Pishen is a bit weird. The first half of the chat with Tianyi was good, but why did he turn his face when he mentioned the money? Afraid that Tianyi asked for something, the money was a bribe? If this is the case, we should not show up tonight, and it will be even more troublesome if we deepen the misunderstanding."

Elder Zhou asked Old Mo again: "How many restaurants are there near here?"

Old Motou: "Just Ji Laoliu's family."

Mr. Zhou said to Zhou Shui: "It is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. This well-built house cannot cook, and he must have three meals in Ji Lao Liu's small restaurant. He will be waiting for him in Ji Lao Liu's restaurant from day one to tomorrow. If you wait, you don't have to take the initiative to talk to him, you have to devise an excuse to let him take the initiative to talk to you."

Yan Yan answered: "Looking at today's situation, Tianyi may not be able to tick off Pi Shen's words. This Pi Shen must have some difficulties."

Elder Zhou nodded his head: "From the matter of Grandpa Tianyi, we are considered the family members of the parties involved. The principles of heaven and humanity are the same. If Pi Shen is an official of the underworld, it would be a violation of the law if he took Tianyi's money. Heaven When you come into contact with him in the future, you have to keep an appropriate distance."

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to the house to sleep.
