Chapter 4 Han Xianzai

It was precisely because of old man Han's arrangement that Sanliangzi Village was safe and sound that night, which also made Lao Jiang, who had always been skeptical, feel a little strange. Even when he went to the square and waited for the captain to arrange work, he thought I can't figure it out, did I guess wrong?
He was pretentious, and he was a little absent-minded, so that when someone next to him patted him on the shoulder, he realized that the village head of emotion had already called him several times while standing on the rostrum.He hurriedly agreed, and squeezed from the crowd to the rostrum.

But he didn't want to, at this time, You Guofu had already arranged everyone's work and sent them away, except for Jiang Decai.As a result, Lao Jiang, who was standing alone in the square, kept muttering in his heart, blaming himself all the time, blaming himself for not listening to the village chief's speech carefully just now, and in front of the villagers, he was cold-faced. This is the village chief trying to make up for him .

When Jiang Decai lowered his head and was thinking about it, You Guofu came down from the rostrum, walked up to him, glanced at him and said, "Jiang Decai, come to my house with me, I have something to discuss with you."

Not knowing why the village chief was looking for him, Jiang Decai, who was anxious, followed You Guofu's ass, looking left and right to You Guofu's house.

After arriving at the village chief's house, I didn't expect that You Guofu was very polite, pouring water for Lao Jiang, and lighting cigarettes, as if Jiang Decai was a guest from afar. No, not even sitting, there is no place to put hands and feet, no place to put them down.

"You are such a donkey climbing a tree, what a detour you are! It's not something difficult to talk about, you can just say it and it's over. You are like an old woman."

The one who was talking was the old man Han who had been sitting on the kang. Ever since Jiang Decai entered the room, he could tell at a glance that he was a real person. At the same time, he couldn't understand You Guofu's hypocrisy, so he sat on the kang The boss reprimanded You Guofu.

You Guofu blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and formally said to Jiang Decai with the attitude of a superior leader talking to his subordinates: "Brother Jiang, that's the case, so what, the village wants to borrow your house to stay. For child use."

What the hell! ! !Lend my son for use in the village?Nonsense!You Guofu's head was kicked by a donkey, or caught by the door of the house.Is there anything I can borrow from my son?If you can really do this, then first lend your daughter-in-law to everyone for use. Anyway, how many old bachelors are there in the village?
Lao Jiang was thinking about these words in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to say them in front of You Guofu, but You Guofu was really angry when he heard these words, and he was too embarrassed to explode in front of him, so he simply didn't say a word. Come to the end of silence.

"You Guofu, I'll go to your uncle! Did you lend your son to others? Why don't you say that you lend your wife to everyone? After a few days as the village head, you can't even speak human words!"

The old Hantou's violent temper finally didn't hold Huo, stood up, pointed at You Guofu's nose and yelled.It's just that what he never expected was that his thoughts coincided with those of Lao Jiang.

When Lao Jiang couldn't hold back his laughter, the shrewd old man Han guessed it, and at the same time felt that he was a little disrespectful for saying that, so he hurriedly laughed and resolved the embarrassment in the room.

With the enthusiasm that the two of them had the same idea, the old man Han took Lao Jiang's hand and said, "Brother, that's the case. The old Liu who died a few days ago didn't really come back to life, but let the evil nature come back to life." The thing is possessed. If you don’t reset it right away, there will be a big mess. So I want to do a ritual today and get rid of it, but I need personal help, so I will discuss it with Lao You. , I fell in love with your son, take a look at this..."

For the latter words, old man Han stopped in moderation and did not continue. After all, his son belonged to someone else, and he had to weigh the importance of this matter. Besides, he had to give him time to think about it.

As far as Jiang Decai is concerned, he doesn't think he is like boiling hot water at this moment, but it's not bad.The old man's words confirmed his guess, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart.But that doesn't count, the old man even asked his son to help.That was my heart's desire, I was only eight years old, how could I be willing to take this risk.He intends to reject it directly, but if he does that, Sanliangzi will not be in a daze later, and he can drown himself in light of the spitting stars of the people in the village.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Jiang decided to take a step back, so he said to Xiazi Han: "Brother, logically speaking, I have to help with this matter, after all, this is a major event for the whole village. But the problem is My family keeps a child, he is just a child, he knows how to be mischievous every day, and what he can do! If it is a disservice to you again, which one is more and which one is less, do you think it makes sense. So I said Ah, you'd better find someone else."

Jiang Decai's attitude was obviously expected by old man Han, and he didn't show too much surprise, let alone continue to mention this matter, but changed the subject.

"Brother, let me mention someone to you, see if you know him?"

"Who is it, brother, tell me."

"Nan Shuiquan, there is a blind man named Han Xianzai, do you know him?"

"You say him, then I know him too well. I have heard of his name a long time ago, but I have never met him. Brother, you know this Mr. Han, ah! Could it be you..."

Old man Han, who had been looking at Jiang Decai all the time, smiled at him after seeing his surprised expression.

Not only Jiang Decai knew the name Han Xianzai, but everyone in Sanliangzi knew it, and even the entire Weichang County, there were not many people who didn't know the name.The story about Han Xian looking for geomantic omen, catching demons and subduing ghosts can almost be written into a legendary story with hundreds of chapters, and it is the biggest topic of conversation among villagers after dinner.

But it was such a legendary existence, standing in front of him at this time, and asking his son for help.When Jiang Decai thought of this, his previous concerns had long been forgotten, and now even if old man Han took his precious son away, he was still willing to do so.

The change of Jiang Decai's attitude was due to his own considerations. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than a father's psychology.Because watching his son grow up day by day, he can't let him spend his whole life digging through the earth like himself. Taking this opportunity to stay with Han Xian is at least a better way out than nesting in this place.

In this way, Jiang Decai agreed.But old man Han didn't readily agree to accept Jiang Liu as his apprentice, he just said that he wanted to see Jiang Liu first, and discuss it after the matter was settled.

Even so, Lao Jiang was extremely happy, at least much better than just refusing.Moreover, he fully believed that with his son's cleverness, old man Han would definitely like him.

The elated Jiang Decai returned home happily and called Jiang Liu. Of course, Dougen, Jiang Liu's shadow, followed him.Just for this point, these two children feel a bit like Meng Buke, Jiao Buli Meng.

When he came to You Guofu's house, Han Xiazi had already written three yellow paper symbols.Seeing Jiang Liu coming, he held the child by the shoulder and looked back and forth.In the end, I handed Jiang Liu a piece of yellow mounted paper talisman with confidence, and told him, "Take this thing, go to Old Liu's house, and when Old Liu is not paying attention, spit on it and stick it on the paper. Old man on the door, remember to run back after posting, as long as you run back, this matter will be considered a job, you know?"

Generally, the children in the village would immediately, resolutely and unconditionally carry out what the adults told them to do. Moreover, on the way here, Lao Jiang specifically asked Jiang Liu to listen to the old man honestly after he left.

It stands to reason that Jiang Liu should readily agree, but he doesn't want to, this little bastard, after listening to old man Han's order, tilted his head, looked at old man Han and said, "Why should I go, is there any benefit? "

In a word, everyone in the room laughed, and old man Han was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.He patted the little guy on the shoulder and said: "Not bad, not bad, you look shameless, you have the style I used to have, and you have a future! Hahahaha..." Then he squatted down and whispered a few words in Jiang Liu's ear.

Lao Jiang didn't know what Blind Han agreed to Jiang Liu, but seeing Jiang Liu's happy face when he was about to leave, he could think with his butt that this kid must have achieved his goal, otherwise there would be no such thing. vice performance.

After Jiang Liu and Dougen left, Old Han put a pot of cigarettes on his head and started smoking.As a result, before the pot of cigarettes was finished, I heard a burst of wailing from Old Liu's house, crying and cursing loudly: "Jiang Liu, you little bastard, you killed my father, I'll fuck with you!" You're not done."

As soon as the voice fell, after a while, Jiang Liu and Dougen ran into the house.Behind him, an exasperated Liu Degui also rushed in with a fork in his hand. He saw Lao Jiang sitting on the stool chatting with Old Man Han, and grabbed his collar.He yelled and said: "Jiang Decai, I'm fucking with you today. Your prodigal son played tricks with me like tigers and mountains. He killed my father while I wasn't paying attention. You have to pay for it!" My dad!!!"

Lao Jiang asked Liu Degui to grab hold of his collar. Although he was struggling to breathe, he still couldn't help thinking about it. It was the first time someone asked him to compensate his father after living such a long life.

Before Lao Jiang could say anything, Jiang Liu, who was standing behind Old Man Han, shouted, "Hey, Liu Degui, this has nothing to do with my father. The old man gave me that piece of paper, and it was also the old man who promised to give me five. I’m only going for a dollar, if you want daddy, you ask him, we don’t owe you anything.”

It turned out that after Jiang Liu ran into the house, he hid behind the old man Han, watched Liu Degui chasing him, and without saying a word, he grabbed his father and yelled that his father should pay him back (how do you say that? so awkward).The little boy quit, so he pointed the finger at old man Han.
