2. Time is like water, things are right and wrong, bees and butterflies dance by nature(1/2)
The ghost sound outside the window suddenly stopped. Qizi gently poked his head out, trying to use the moonlight to check the situation outside. Suddenly, the sound rang again, from far to near, and finally seemed to make a sound in his ear. Qizi had never been so frightened and almost fell to the ground. He was sweating profusely, and as soon as his butt touched the ground, he stretched his hands down, stood up and shouted,
"Is it a human? a ghost! Show up quickly!"
The long stick opened the window, and Qizi plucked up the courage to reach out. No vision was seen. He turned over and looked around, and no more notice. He looked around for a while and realized that this was a small courtyard. Most of the buildings in the courtyard were dilapidated. Only the room they lived in was different. Someone should have come to take care of it. Qizi slowly returned to the house, and the mountains were still sleeping sounds. As soon as he sat down, ghost sounds were everywhere outside the door. Qizi was much more courageous this time, and quickly went out with the stick. The ghost sound disappeared quickly, but Qizi was still
He identified the direction. He pretended not to notice any abnormality and wandered around unconsciously. In fact, he had noticed the slight breathing sound next to him. He did not make any noise and slowly approached this place. When the long stick reached, he was about to make a move. At this moment, he heard another ghost sound behind him. He ignored everything else and attacked the man before. Qizi thought that this man deliberately pretended to be a ghost and scared people, but he wanted to catch him and ask for the reason. Before the long stick was touched, he was bounced away by a strange force. Qizi was really shocked, but he heard someone talking behind him.
"Seven sons, wait!"
It turned out to be the mountain. Only then did Qizi slowly calm down and calm down and listen to what Dashan said.
"Come out, there are no outsiders here."
Qizi was very strange, but several figures slowly appeared around her. Qizi thought that there were as many as five people, two big and three small, all dressed in black, and it was indeed difficult to be discovered when hidden in black.
"It's too dark outside, come into the house and talk."
Everyone followed Dashan into the mountains. The mountain found a candlelight and lighted it. Only then did Qizi see the appearance of these people clearly. The two adults were covered with black mud, and they didn't look like anyone. They were ragged, black on the outside and white on the inside, dancing in the darkness, which was really scary. Looking at the three children, they looked the same, not too scary, but very interesting. Qizi asked in confusion,
"Who are you? Why do you pretend to be a ghost here and scare people!"
The two adults stared at the mountains without turning their eyes, and did not hear Qizi talking. Qizi looked at the two of them in this way, so they should have a reason to listen to them.
"You, are you? You, aunt, aunt..."
Dashan nodded slightly, and the two of them screamed in surprise. Then they hurriedly covered their mouths. To show their excitement, they still beat up and down the spot before stopping. The three children were ten years old and only three or four years old. The three of them felt interesting and ran away with a smile. Dashan grabbed the youngest one and hugged it in their arms. The child was not afraid of being angry, and reached out to get enough masks to Dashan. Qizi was confused and didn't know what had happened, but he knew that the other party was not hostile, and his heart was also relaxed a lot. Dashan pinched the child's face and asked with a smile.
"Tell me, how could you pretend to be a ghost here?"
The man replied,
"Hey, this house is in decline, and the house has been mortgaged. It is about to be occupied by those people. I have no choice but to think of this trick. Unexpectedly, it really works. The first one was scared silly. Later, rumors spread, and no one dared to come. So this house became a haunted house, and ordinary people dared not approach it. Recently, my eyelids were always twitching, and I thought something bad would happen, which made me worried for a while. Haha, it turned out to be a happy event, a big happy event!"
Dashan signaled everyone to sit down and talk,
"Hey, for so many years, I didn't expect that this house had not been occupied yet!"
The man replied,
"Oh, that's not true. It's been more than ten years. Since you left, the master has been ill and died soon after. It was also from then on that time that his family has fallen into decline and there is no such thing as the former. The young master is extremely naughty and has lost all his wealth in one or two years. Later, he borrowed debts everywhere to avoid debts. All the maids in the house were sold out, but it was not enough to pay back their capital. Alas, it's a pity that the ancestors' efforts for many years have been ruined by him in one day."
Dashan has already guessed it,
"Oh, things in the world are impermanent, and no one else can blame."
The two shook their heads and sighed together, this time it was a woman who spoke,
"After this young man sold his house, he knew that there was no place tolerate him in Yazhou, so he fled with money. He heard that he was robbed on the road and eventually became a refugee and died on the way to escape. However, no one saw him personally and could not do anything. However, the young man had never suffered or encountered any trouble. I was afraid that it would be extremely difficult outside."
As she said that, the woman shed tears, and the tears were stained with black mud, and she wiped them again, making her face even more colorful. The child was so happy when she saw it. The woman burst into tears and laughed for a while before she stopped. Looking at these children, Qizi felt happy. Dashan thought for a moment and asked,
"Is the real estate deed still there?"
The man replied to him
"As he gave it to Wu Laowu, he was afraid of ghosts. If he wanted to take action, no one would ask for it. Now he is afraid that no one would dare to ask for it for free. As for the real estate deed, it should still be with him."
"Wu Laowu, who runs a casino? Alas, this kid loves him, I'm afraid that most of the money is put into the old guy's pocket."
The man nodded and said,
"Isn't it? I heard that this real estate deed is only worth one-third of the value, and I'm really unwilling to do it!"
Dashan asked again,
"Is this Wu Laowu still in the old place? I'll get the real estate deed back."
The man replied,
"It's still in the east alley of Yucheng, the most lively area!"
Dashan nodded and said,
"Seven sons, have a good rest tonight, and I will have a chance to go with me tomorrow."
Qizi understood, and he turned his head to look at the man again and asked him,
"By the way, wherever you live, you won't stay in this house all the time!"
The man smiled and replied,
"Of course not! There is no one around this ghost house. We live in a room near the entrance of the alley. We can see the movement here at home on weekdays. If someone comes to the evening, he will come in from the rockery in the backyard and pretend to be a ghost to scare them away. Both of us still have work to do, otherwise how can we support these stinky brats who only eat but don't vomit!"
"Okay, you go back and rest first, wait for me to get the land deed, and then meet you. And, too! Alas, I don't know how to thank you. You have been cleaning up this house like you did in the past years, and it's been a painstaking effort!"
The two of them replied quickly,
"Don't say that. The masters and ladies treated us well back then. Now we have such a good life, thanks to them! Then let's go ahead!"
"Go and go!"
The two of them walked out the door with their children and headed to the backyard.
Only Dashan Qizi were left in the house. Dashan sighed and said,
"Seven sons, I got a pill in the evening, have you ever known?"
Qizi scratched his head and replied,
"I was dizzy when I went out. As soon as I woke up, I was on the bed. I couldn't remember what happened in the middle. But Brother Dashan, did those people do their tricks in our meals! If you were in the wine, then you also drank a lot, why did you look like nothing happened!"
Dashan smiled and shook his head,
"It's not in the wine, but in the soup!"
Qizi was even more puzzled and asked again,
"If it were in that soup, Brother Dashan would drink more than me, why didn't he have Chinese medicine?"
Dashan smiles,
"For some reason, my body is not effective. Although I have drunk a lot, I have vomited cleanly on the cottage that time on the way."
The seventh son understood,
"How did Brother Dashan know that there is medicine in this soup!"
Dashan closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.
"Although the guy is a discerning person, when he heard that I ordered fresh fish, his eyes flashed, but his feet were revealed. In addition, the taste of the fish soup is indeed a bit abnormal, so it is easier to see through. Poisoning in wine is too common. If you put fish soup in it, it is even less likely to be noticed. After you are dizzy, I will carry it up and spit the soup in your stomach cleanly, so that you can wake up so quickly. This world is so dangerous, so you must be more cautious."
Qizi's abdomen was rumbling. He was extremely nervous before, but he forgot to be hungry.
Starting from the start, the two of them finally had a comfortable place to live and had a good sleep. As the sky was dawn, Qizi followed Dashan out of the rockery secret passage in the backyard. As expected, someone was watching outside the house. The two were very quiet and did not attract the attention of those people. After walking for a long time, they arrived at a wide street. Dashan bought some food from the vendor and went directly to Wukuifang.
Wukuifang is located in the most prosperous area of Yazhou. The two main streets meet, with a wide storefront, with a back against Qingyi. They open the door to welcome guests day and night. I heard that the more prosperous this place, the more crazy the gamblers are. Qizi saw that the huge sign was, and I was afraid that they could change seven or eight ordinary store signs. Of course, the wood was also very particular, and you can tell at a glance that it was extraordinary. The four guards at the door had just changed shifts, and they were all wearing rough clothes, and the muscles they should have exposed were exposed at all. Two twenty-year-old men walked out side by side with their heads bowed from inside, with their eyes black and red. They probably had been gambling for a night and lost all their brilliance. The two walked into the gambling hall, and the four guards stared at them, as if they were looking at thieves, but they did not stop them.
After entering the gambling house, Qizi was also frightened by this scale. He saw that there were no less than ten gambling tables of all sizes inside, the largest one, and there were more than thirty people around here, and they were gambling lively. Qizi looked on tiptoe and saw that the dealer in the middle of the crowd had white arms and raised the dice bowl in his hand high.
"Brother Dashan, look, that's actually a woman! She looks very good, I'm afraid these people are gambled, but this beauty is two!"
Dashan smiled and grabbed the man who was running away,
"Where is Lao Wu? I'll tell you."
The guy shrank his head and replied,
"I, I don't know!"
Dashan said in his ear,
"Then go find someone who knows!"
The tone was a little ruthless. The guy was frightened and hurried to inform others. Soon, he met him, with two thugs beside him. He came to Dashan Qizi, looked up and down for a while, but didn't realize anything unusual, and then he spoke.
"Where did it come from? Humph, I want to make trouble here?! Do you want to die?"
Dashan smiled and walked forward. Before the two thugs could react, he had already pressed on the man's face. The two were about to take action, but the man raised his hand to stop him. I don't know what Dashan said, the man's face turned red, and his face turned dark purple. He spit out his words after a while.
"Come with me!"
The two followed him out of the side door, passed through several corridors, and came to a courtyard. The man came forward to report and quickly came back to inform the two of them.
"Fifth Master, please come with me."
When Qizi of Dashan entered the yard, all kinds of birds were screaming, and the owner was not afraid of noise, but it was really different from ordinary people. As soon as he entered the hall, an old man with kind-eyed eyebrows and grey hair, his nose was slightly tilted to the side, and his face was filled with smiles, making the crooked nose no longer so obvious. Qizi looked at this person, no matter how he looked at him, he only heard that the people who were gambling were bullies, and it was really unimaginable to associate it with the old man. The old man spoke,
"Our hero is back, it's such a great thing! Let Lao Wu welcome you today to wash away the dust of the journey."
Dashan smiled and replied,
"The old man is strong and he is becoming more and more charitable!"
The old five smiled,
"Brothers have so much love that they have gained some prestige in this world. It's just a false reputation! It's nothing, nothing! Let's sit down and talk!"
Dashan was not polite, so he found a seat to sit down. The tea was warm on the side, and it must have been brewed for a while. Dashan drank half a bowl and said,
"I have something to say, so the old man doesn't have to guess. This time I came here just for the real estate contract, and there was nothing else."
The old man thought for a long time, said,
"This is easy to talk about, and it is not a big deal to send it to you. Since you are so honest, I will say something in my heart. You suddenly disappeared from the world and suddenly emerged. There has been some news these days, and I wonder if you know it."
