The kid was on the night shift that day, so he was the one who took care of the house.

The weather is very cold, the child is holding the quilt on the sofa watching TV, the TV is playing a dumpling advertisement, the translucent sticky glutinous rice skin is broken, and a thick black sesame filling flows, making the child's hungry drool.

He thought to himself, how good it would be to eat a bowl of warm and sweet rice balls on such a cold day!

It's a pity that the money his mother earns is to pay rent and tuition, and the rest is not reluctant, although this thing is not expensive, but it is "no need to spend", if you can not buy it, you will not buy it.

It wasn't long before he heard a knock at the door.

Children also have common sense, knowing that they can't open the door to strangers, and when they ask, the person outside says, isn't your mother's name xxx? Let me bring you something to eat.

As soon as the child heard that the name was correct, he was immediately happy, and opened the door, and saw a dry old man.

The old man was dressed in a black cotton jacket, with a few money spots in the corners of his eyes, and he was a fresh-faced man who had never seen this neighbor.

And the old man reached out and took out a big bowl, which was steaming with a bowl of rice balls.

The child quickly took it, only to think that the bowl was a little strange - coarse porcelain, with a blue line at the bottom, and a notch and a break on it.

Very few people use this kind of bowl anymore, but it looks like something from a costume drama.

But the child didn't think much about it, took the spoon and ate it - what's even stranger is that the rice balls look steaming, but they don't have any temperature in their mouths.

And the old man refused to enter the house, and watched the child finish eating the rice balls, and smiled.

The child's instinct stood on end when he looked at that smile - he was still young, and he didn't know how to describe it, but he just thought it didn't seem funny.

The child asked him why he didn't come in.

The old man shook his head and said that he couldn't get in.

At this time, I didn't know who set off the cannon outside, which startled a child, and when I looked back, the old man was gone.

He chased him down the hallway, and there was no one outside.

He thought about how he thought that the old man looked strange, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the old man seemed to have no heels touching the ground, as if he was floating slightly on the ground.

But after all, the child has a big heart, so he didn't think much about it, and went to sleep when he went back.

Unexpectedly, when I slept this time, I dimly saw a lot of people coming to the house, and you and I wanted to drag this child away.

The child didn't know why so many people came to the house, and he was wondering, and when he saw one of them, he was familiar, and he remembered that it was Grandma Ma who sold soy milk downstairs.

But...... Grandma Ma was crossing the road last month and was hit and killed by a speeding tricycle.

For the rest, the kid can't remember - he just remembers waking up again, and his mother was holding him while crying and scolding the street for pigweed and dogs, and beating the house with the soles of her shoes.

Later, he learned that after drinking the rice balls, he had a fever, and the goddess said that he had eaten the things of the dead and recruited other dead people to pull a substitute, and finally survived.

His mother saw that he was awake, and first she cried, then she pointed to the bowl and asked him where it came from.

He told the story again, and his mother stared at the bowl, his face turned pale, and he went out and smashed the bowl while scolding the street.

At that time, his mother scolded a lot, and he usually didn't want to follow along, and he remembered a sentence, ungrateful.

Only then did he know that the old man with the money spot was trying to harm him.

Dumb Balan was suddenly indignant: "This old thing is really not a thing - even if he has a grudge against Zhang Guifang, why don't he even let go of a child, doesn't it mean that the disaster will not affect the family." ”

I said you should save your strength to reason with the living - after a person dies, the soul is sometimes incomplete and irrational.

Bai Huoxiang also frowned: "Could it be that the old man in black clothes, not only hates Zhang Guifang and his wife, but also his ex-wife's children, is he thinking of ......"

Not only does Zhang Guifang have to break his body into thousands of pieces, but also has to let Zhang Guifang cut off his children and grandchildren?

I asked the child, "Do you remember what day it was?" ”

The child shook his head: "I don't understand...... But I remember that night there was fly ash everywhere, and many people squatted on the intersection to barbecue. ”

Whoever dares to barbecue at the crossroads, that is burning paper.

When the weather is cold, it is not July 15, but the Winter Clothes Festival.

Zhang Guifang's family, how did they offend that old man?

At this time, Zhang Guifang rushed over sweating profusely, nodded and said, "Master, you have been waiting for a long time!" My wife and father-in-law have finally settled down - Master, do you see what's wrong with our feng shui? I'll tell you the truth, I've been carrying it too much for a while, and I really can't bear it. ”

I replied, "In that case, you have to tell me the truth—or I won't be able to save you, and your father-in-law has taken a fancy to you, so where is the plot for you?" ”

Zhang Guifang's face suddenly froze, and she snorted: "Does it have anything to do with this?" ”

"It's a big deal."

"Okay then......" Zhang Guifang stepped back and approached me: "I couldn't say this, my father-in-law knows, you have to skin me, I only tell the master alone." ”

As he spoke, he raised one of his fat hands like a bear's paw: "My husband pays attention to this, saying that it is because of my hand." ”

When I took a look, I was taken aback, I really hadn't noticed it before - Zhang Guifang's hand was a beaded grape hand.

What is a beaded grape hand?

That is, the fingers are thick and round, and the joints are round and prominent, which is more popular, like a sugar gourd.

It is also difficult for this kind of person's hands to be together, and the finger seams are not thin, according to reason, there is no wealth, and he has suffered all his life, but it is also a coincidence that the joints of his hands are impartial, and they can match his wife's pair of "money biting hands".

That is, as long as his hand is under his wife's hand, he can plug all the holes.

This is the best remedy for the "money biter".

As the old saying goes, pearl grapes match money and bite hands, and the more you spend money, the more you have.

No wonder he spent so much money on his wife, and he hasn't ruined his home yet.

Could it be that his father-in-law really understands this?

Zhang Guifang hurriedly said: "In fact, in our industry, we would rather believe in this piece than believe in it, who is not willing to ask for good luck?" Many people also say that when my father-in-law was a child, he was apprenticed with a Taoist priest on the mountain, and he was well versed in metaphysics, so he rose to the top and got to today's position. ”

It turned out that this Zhang Guifang and Wang Jingqi were competing for the position of promotion, and the old man Jiang was not less worried, and he was moving, and he unknowingly pointed his martial arts school's sword, gun, sword and halberd at Wang Jingqi's window - he also knew that Wang Jingqi was taboo about this, it didn't work, just add a block to him.

The previous few competitors who were trampled to death by footprints, Zhang Guifang always thought that the old man used feng shui to kill them.

It was really smooth at the beginning - didn't Wang Jingqi also carry footprints?

didn't think about it, the family was happy that day, just waiting for Wang Jingqi to die and give way, saying that they would go out and celebrate first, but they were hit by a car when they went out, and Old Man Jiang's leg was broken like this.

According to Mr. Jiang's words, the traitor who had a hard leg back then was not discounted, but it was actually broken, where can I swallow this breath - this person who looked back at the accident was impartial, and it was Wang Jingqi's mascot daughter-in-law.

Wang Jingqi felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, and the mud passed, and the old man Jiang was angry and wanted to blow up, swearing that he would have to make Wang Jingqi pay the price, and then he didn't know where to inquire about it, saying that there was something in the office building, and asked Zhang Guifang to find someone to come out.

Zhang Guifang asked someone to find Mr. Lingrui, but the matter was not done, and Wang Jingqi was being rectified by me again.

He was about to tell his father-in-law about this, but he encountered the man in black, but he also mentioned it to his father-in-law, but his father-in-law's face changed, and he said that this matter was not a big deal, so Zhang Guifang should not look ahead and backward, and don't tell anyone, he knew, and discounted his legs.

So Zhang Guifang was so scared that she didn't dare to mention it to her wife, but she was really scared, and when she saw that I had the ability, she found me.

In this way, the man in black has not been in trouble for a long time.

And the old man clearly knew what the situation was with this man in black.

Disaster ......

I thought about it for a moment, and said, "I have an idea, I could bring that old man over to see what is going on, but—a bit of a risk, will you?" ”

When Zhang Guifang heard this, he immediately said: "With the master here, I am not afraid of anything!" Master, you just say, what's the idea? ”

I leaned close to his ear and lowered my voice: "You buy a coffin, lie in it, and I'll help you think of the rest." ”
