I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

My feet stepped on the soil, and I felt a little more settled again.

He bent down and touched along the direction of the tied ankles. The touch at the beginning was thin, smooth, and a little rough. Su Hao basically concluded that these were the fibrous roots under the willow tree.

Regardless of whether the willow tree in front of him is a spirit or an accident, with the knife in his hand, he has the initiative.

Su Hao pinched the fibrous root wrapped around his ankle with one hand and rubbed it with a butcher's knife. His feet suddenly relaxed, his legs kicked in the mud, and he rushed out of the water.

Everyone on the shore was also panicking at this moment. Some people kept shouting, "Oh no, someone fell into the water. Go down and save people if the water is good."

I shouted a few times, but no one came down.

This ditch had drowned people and livestock before, and it had a terrible reputation in the hearts of the villagers in Yuanjia Village. Coupled with the thick dark red liquid flowing out of the willow branches, a group of people had long been aware of the strangeness inside.

It is simply not worth the risk of going into the water for a stranger.

Just shouting twice is enough.

When Su Hao saw Brother Bo taking off his shoes and pants, he was about to jump down. He stopped him and said, "Don't come down, I'm fine."

"Help me protect the rope. If I don't come out after one minute after entering the water, you can pull up."

After saying this, Su Hao threw a fibrous root that was broken into two parts towards the shore and plunged it down again.

The ditch is two to three meters deep, and the stream is not very fast. Even if it gets entangled by fibrous roots again, there is no need to be afraid if you have a butcher's knife in hand.

Now that he was in the water, he immediately figured out whether the thing under the water was caused by the old willow tree.

Su Hao plunged to the bottom of the stream again, and groped around with one hand, occasionally passing by a smooth fibrous root.

Suddenly, Su Hao touched a hard and prickly thing in his hand. He stretched out his hand to grab it and it emerged from the water again.

After he saw clearly what he had grabbed in his hand, another cry came from the embankment, "This...isn't this a sheep skull?"

Su Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he threw the sheep's skull onto the embankment as usual, and plunged it down again.

After doing this several times, he had already fished out a lot of things from the shore.

There were cow skulls, sheep skulls, a few chopped fibrous roots, and an iron basin.

The iron basin was already stained with rust, and half of the withered chrysanthemum petals could still be seen where the paint had not peeled off.

This time, a pot exploded on the shore.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the gray fibrous roots as thick as a thumb. What was flowing out from the fault cut by Su Hao with the butcher's knife was a thick scarlet liquid.

Everyone at the scene was a rural villager. Everyone had seen branches and trunks, but they had never seen such a strange scene.

Only the two brothers in the building next to Bo Ge stared at the iron basin and remained silent.

After Su Hao was dragged up, everyone looked at him with more enthusiasm and respect.

Su Hao's image in the eyes of everyone has changed from an unrelated foreigner before to a feng shui master who is brave and resourceful.

Su Hao wiped the water stains on his body with the towel handed over by the villagers, then lit up a cigarette in an orderly manner and took a puff. He noticed that everyone was looking at him with doubtful eyes.

Su Hao organized his words and said, "Are you asking me what I saw and touched when I went down just now?"

"Yes, we grew up in the countryside, and this is the first time we have seen branches that ooze pus. This thing is so weird."

"My dear boy, was there something fishy when you fell into the water just now? If you had come out a moment later, we might have to go into the water to rescue you. It's so scary."

Su Hao blew out a puff of smoke and said, "I saw a human face on the trunk of the willow tree."

"As for why I fell into the water, if I said that this thing wrapped around my ankles and dragged me down, would you believe it?"

Su Hao kicked the fibrous roots just thrown up with his feet.

For a moment, there was a sound of gasping for air in the scene.

Su Hao concluded by saying, "This willow tree may have become a spirit."

Johnston next to him suddenly licked his lips at him, and the two of them came to a place more than ten meters away and talked quietly.

Johnston pointed to the phone, "A mole called just now. I told him what I saw at the scene. He seemed to be very excited, saying that this kind of willow tree that has become a spirit is rare to see in a thousand years, and it is a harmful spirit. , it’s also the best Yin Hun Wood, and he said he’d be here right away.”

This information is important.

Su Hao thought about it for a while and figured out what the mole was trying to do. If the other party was willing to come over without a high consulting fee, he definitely wasn't sending it to his door for nothing. He was probably a drunkard who didn't want to drink.

What I care about is probably the mature willow tree at the moment.

As for the Yinhunmu, he couldn't understand it either.

It is enough to know one thing. Since a mole is so interested in this adult willow tree, he will occupy the willow tree in advance and get the ownership rights first.

As for the value of this willow tree, whether it is worth money, and what the Yinhun wood is used for, this is a matter later.

But he is a foreigner, and this place is full of territory that belongs to Yuanjia Village. How to get the willow tree... more precisely, how to get the willow tree before a mole arrives still needs some thinking.

Thinking of this, he called Brother Bo over and frankly said that keeping the willow tree would be bad for Yuanjia Village's feng shui and that it had to be dug up by the roots. However, the trunk of the willow tree had certain research value. He wanted to get it back for research. Is there any way to do it? ?

Bo Ge discussed it with the two of them and soon came up with an idea.

He immediately returned to the crowd and clapped his hands, "Everyone, listen to me. Mr. Feng Shui just said that this willow tree is probably a ghost. If you keep it, it will not only destroy the Feng Shui of our Yuanjia Village, but also damage your animals and family members when they come to the river." It is a huge hidden danger and must be dug up by the roots.”

"Without any further delay, dig now. It's best to finish it before dark. Let's go back quickly and organize the whole village. After digging out the willow tree roots, we will transport them to my backyard. After Mr. Feng Shui has finished the ritual, we will dig them up overnight." Burn it with fire.”

"I know it's not easy for everyone. Since I invited this Feng Shui master back, I will be a good person and do it to the end. Everyone who comes to dig holes to help will receive 500 Hong Kong dollars in hard work. Tomorrow, they will go to my house to collect the money based on their head count."

Everyone applauded immediately.

Even if there is no money to be made, everyone is still discussing whether to pour a bucket of gasoline on the willow tree and burn it.

This time someone paid to be taken advantage of, and it would have been better to just dig it up by the roots.

You can also earn a hard-earned fee.

Whoever allowed Bo Zai to make money outside deserves a wave of bloodshed.

Only a few people suggested calling the village office to report, but others stared back at them like idiots.

Under the dual effects of 'damaging the feng shui of the whole village' and '500 Hong Kong dollars labor fee', the entire Yuanjia Village suddenly had about 10 young and middle-aged workers. As for other women and children who came to watch the excitement, there were even more. Almost the entire village People gathered around.

As two outsiders, Johnston and Su Hao naturally didn't need to take action.

Bo Ge is the boss who pays the money, so he doesn't have to do it himself, he only needs to act as a supervisor.

On the other hand, the two brothers next door and their sixty-year-old father, who was still alive, squatted in front of the old iron basin and kept wiping away tears. It turned out that this iron basin was the tool that the two brothers' mothers carried when washing clothes at the dock a few years ago.

Although the body was recovered that year, the cause of death has always been attributed to falling into the water.

He also resented Bogo's father, who was busy in the vegetable field in the backyard, for not being able to rescue him in time, and the two families turned against each other.

The two brothers also saw the scene where Su Hao was dragged down by fibrous roots just now. After a little comparison, they knew that there must be something fishy about their mother's death.

It must be because of these fibrous roots.

Rumors such as "a willow tree with moving fibrous roots" and "a willow tree with a human face that can eat people" spread like waves among the villagers of Yuanjia Village.

All this sounds incredible, but what you see and hear you have to believe.

The world is really big, there are no wonders.

Chapter 113 The value of 200-year-old ghost wood

Soon, there was movement at the embankment.

People working, people watching, people talking, people chasing children, and people shouting whistles and slogans, there are all kinds of voices.

This willow tree grows on the ditch embankment, half of its roots are rooted in the soil below the embankment, and the other third is directly suspended on the water surface. If it really needs to be dug up, at least two square meters of area must be circled around it. Uproot it.

This area will only be larger, not smaller.

There is a saying that pulls out the radish and brings out the mud. The trunk growing on the soil is only a small part, less than 2 meters long, and the part under the soil is much larger.

Some of the young and strong laborers in the village dug on the spot with hoes and shovels, some used sickles to remove all the remaining branches from the willow trunks, and experienced uncles and elders gave on-site instructions on how to allocate manpower in shifts.

As a result, there were constant shouts and shouts, and almost all the active people in Yuanjia Village came over.

The Chinese New Year has never been so lively.

The lively atmosphere lasted for more than an hour. Some of the people eating melons left. Although it was cool by the embankment, the sun in the sky was scorching. In addition, the excitement of watching the fun was almost gone. Many old, weak, women and children began to worry about their children again. security, and whether the door of the home is locked, whether there will be intruders, or whether it is time to feed the pigs every day, etc.

Even the teams working on site were rotated several times, and their enthusiasm dropped a lot.

Although 500 Hong Kong dollars was easy to get, digging holes was really tiring, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, I was thirsty, and all kinds of shit happened.

Brother Bo's face also turned dark.

The reason was that an uncle who was directing the work on site came to discuss with him and wanted him to add some money on top of the original 500 Hong Kong dollars for hard work.

The reason is simply that it is difficult to dig the hole, and it is estimated that the digging will take until dark. With so many people working, no one will take care of the food, and everyone has to go home and take care of the food, drink and tools.

The Bogo family has the most magnificent villa, and there is also a slaughterhouse in the city. They make the most money every year. What's wrong with taking out more money?

Besides, it was Brother Bo who initiated this matter.

Brother Bo was stunned when he heard this, and he laughed angrily, "Uncle, the Feng Shui master said before that this willow tree has become a spirit, and it affects the luck of our whole village, and it is not my fault? Help?" Do you need extra money to work on your own?”

The man in front of him, who he called uncle, was in his sixties. He had his trousers rolled up, a straw hat and a cigarette in his mouth. His face was already wrinkled by the wind and frost in the countryside. At this moment, he was frowning and admonishing: "Bo Zai , I understand everything you said, and I will just say two points."

"First, they are all working, but you are idle. Are you a member of the village? Are you not yet 30 years old, which is when you are young and strong? How can others feel better while they are working and you are idle? "

Brother Bo opened his mouth to retort, "Uncle, I paid for this money. If it weren't for me, they would still have to dig out even if they didn't get a penny. It's the boss who pays, so how can the boss end up doing the work? Besides, if I hadn't hired the Feng Shui Master. Come here, you don’t know how long this willow tree will be kept secret.”

The old man nodded, approved of Bo Zai's explanation, and said another sentence in a blink of an eye, "Secondly, if this willow tree affects Feng Shui, your family will be the most affected. The animals that died in the past years are more than this. There are three girls, and now your wife is at the critical moment of being pregnant with her fourth child, are you the most anxious?"

"I looked just now. This willow tree is facing the direction of your backyard."

Brother Bo almost spat out a mouthful of old phlegm.

He will fight anyone who says he can't give birth to a son, and the old man is no exception. Only one-third of the people in Yuanjia Village are named Yuan, and the rest are poor people who moved from the city. I call you uncle. That's respect for you.

It's true that he relies on his old age and sells his old age.

Although the old man was speaking in a consultative tone, his words were very tactful, and he made it clear that he was sure to win over Brother Bo.

Brother Bo was about to retaliate when Su Hao, who was standing next to him, suddenly grabbed him and interrupted: "How much more do you want?"

The old man recognized Su Hao, he was the Feng Shui master invited by Brother Bo, and he had shown bravery in the water alone before, so he treated Su Hao with great respect.

The other party took the initiative to hand out a cigarette, "It doesn't cost much, just double the salary of 500 per person, and there won't be more in the future. It's not easy for everyone to dig holes in such a strong sun."

Su Hao nodded, "Okay, I'll pay for it, and I'll ask everyone to help transport these willow branches and roots back after we're done."

The old man blinked his cloudy eyes with shrewd eyes, and asked tentatively: "Is this thing still useful?"

Su Hao chuckled and said: "Willow branches have some uses. Putting them in vases at home can ward off evil spirits. But there are so many dead souls hidden in the roots of the willow tree. If we don't burn them with fire, there will be endless troubles. .”

"Before burning, it's best to do a ritual to save the souls of the dead. This costs money."

When he heard that the ritual would cost money, the old man was afraid that Su Hao would ask them to share the burden, so he quickly nodded and turned away, "Just listen to this young man."

After the old man left, Brother Bo still looked unhappy.

Su Hao continued: "I will pay one thousand for each person personally. I can take the willow roots back and have some use. They can be used to make magic weapons. I won't hide this from Brother Bo."

Bo Ge immediately said politely: "Ah Hao, I asked you to come here to help, how can I ask you to pay? It's not that I can't afford this money, I just don't like them taking me as a scapegoat."

Su Hao nodded calmly, "One code equals one code. You promise to lend me the butcher knife for free in the future. I'll come over to help you see if there is anything famous in your home. Now we're both clear. Please ask a Feng Shui master for help." Even if it’s 3 Hong Kong dollars, it’s not even [-]. Speaking of which, I still made the profit.”

Strictly speaking, the butcher's knife can be borrowed for 3 Hong Kong dollars per time. Su Hao exchanged this small amount of money for the opportunity to use the butcher's knife unlimited times, which is indeed a profit.

Brother Bo didn't think so.

Ahao came to help with both money and effort. The key was that he found out what was wrong with the feng shui of their Yuanjia Village as soon as he came, and also found out the culprit-Liu Shu. All are considered to be of immeasurable merit.

The value inside has far exceeded original expectations.

It was like helping Brother Bo and Yuanjiacun find a huge hidden danger.

If this fourth child is a son, then Bo Ge will make a lot of money, and what he pays is actually the right to use the butcher knife from time to time, and the ownership still belongs to him.

It's like paying nothing at all.

Thinking about it this way, Brother Bo actually felt that he had made a lot of money.

After comforting Brother Bo, Su Hao and Johnston came to the side.

To be honest, Johnston said very little today, mainly because the development here has deviated from the direction and field he is good at. Today, Johnston still puts his position more in the position of apprentice.

Willow trees can also become spirits, and this strange incident alone broke his years of knowledge.

Johnston saw what had just happened and smiled at Su Hao, "You don't have to worry about me. I only have one request. If conditions permit, help me open my Yin and Yang eyes in the future."

Su Hao had explained to him before when he was investigating the ghost baby case at the scene that the opening of the yin and yang eyes can be divided into innate and acquired. I won't talk about the innate. The opening of the acquired eyes must meet certain prerequisites. Su Hao and others This is the emergence of the plot of "Returning to the Soul Night".
