Chapter 3 Thousands of workers pull out the bed
I also wanted to ask the blind man about the implication of the money, but he said that the wind is the rain, and kept urging me to contact Guo Sen.
I reluctantly picked up the phone, thought about it, and said to the blind man: Although Guo Sen and I have a good relationship, he is upright and principled, and because of his identity, he may not be convenient to do something.
The blind man asked me what to do? As a matter of urgency, he must rely on the power of the government to accomplish something.
I asked him to calm down and turned out Gao Zhan's number and called.
The phone was connected, and I said directly to Gao Zhan that there was something I wanted to ask him for a favor.
After hanging up the phone, I asked the blind man to go to him later. The tall fat man is a smooth person, and he has experienced some things with us, tell him the truth, weigh the weight, and he will definitely help the blind man achieve his goal.
The blind man stopped drinking the wine and was about to leave.
I sent him to the door, and he suddenly turned around and whispered to me, "It's not that I don't want to explain this matter to you, but many things are just my guesses now, and saying it in vain is likely to cause unnecessary trouble." It's true that the Pressure Money has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but these nine coins themselves are very evil, so you should try not to use them. But ......"
He leaned into my ear, and his voice was lowered: "The value of these nine big coins is very expensive, you keep it first, and when you have the opportunity to make a move, you can exchange it for some benefits." ”
After saying that, he patted me on the shoulder and walked away.
Early the next morning, I was discussing with Xu Jie to go to the city to prepare some New Year's goods and send them directly to Shahe Forest Farm. Lao Jun and Lao Du, two stubborn old men, will never come to me, so it is better to go directly to the forest farm for the New Year.
Downstairs suddenly came a hurried knock on the door, I couldn't help frowning, and scolded while going downstairs: Who is so ignorant of the rules, unless there is a funeral, how can there be such a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, my anger was gone.
A small guy was carrying a large travel bag in one hand, and the other hand was still hanging in the air to keep the posture of slapping on the door, but he had a leprosy head.
Seeing that it was snowing outside, I hurriedly let him in.
Turning around to pour the tea, the leper head actually took out two bottles of hardcover Xifeng wine from his travel bag and placed them on the counter.
"Mr. Xu, the first time to come to the door, it is a small meaning, not a respect."
"Brother Yang, you saved my life, didn't you do this to make me unable to be a man."
The leper just laughed, but then took out a black plastic bag from his bag and handed it over.
I hurriedly raised my hand to block it, and as soon as I touched the contents of the bag, I looked at the shape of the bag, and couldn't help but cool my face: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Although I didn't open the bag, I could see that it was full of money, and in terms of thickness, it had to be about 180,000.
"What are you giving me money for?" I pushed aside the leprosy and returned to the counter, "Yang Qian is no longer alive, but she is my friend, and I will only be happy for her if I can find relatives for her." You don't have to thank me for anything, and besides, you saved my life. ”
Speaking of which, I couldn't help but slap my thigh.
Knowing that the leprosy head was coming today, I thought about going to the post station to get the five-treasure umbrella yesterday, but yesterday the blind man came out of it, and I drank some wine, and then I forgot about this stubble.
I had no choice but to say to the leprosy: "Yang Qian is not here now, if you want to see her, you will have to see her tonight at the earliest." ”
The leprosy head waved his hand again and again: "Don't worry, my little sister is here, I don't worry." But...... You must take this money. ”
"Give me a reason!" Even though the leprosy saved my life, every time I saw him, I still felt a kind of entangled depression.
Why are you giving me so much money for no reason?
The leper licked his lips, still holding the money on the counter with both hands, and then stammered:
"Actually...... Actually, this money is not for you. I'm trying to ask you...... I'll ask you to find something for me. ”
Listening to him talk about 'looking for something' again, and looking at the bag of money, I began to realize that something was unusual.
I asked, "What exactly do you want me to help you find?" ”
The leper whispered something, I didn't hear it clearly, so let him be louder.
The leprosy head seemed to have mustered up his courage, but he was still a little afraid to look at me directly, "I want you to help me find ...... Find a ...... of a thousand-pronged bed."
"Poof......
All the sip of tea I had just drunk squirted out, "Ahem...... What did you say? Say it again? ”
The leprosy head was finally willing to face me: "Thousands of workers pull out the bed." ”
I finally woke up from a dream, "Are you kidding? ”
The leper shook his head and muttered, "I...... I'm not kidding, I have to find a thousand workers to pull out the bed, because that's my mother's last wish. I don't have any decent friends but to ask you for help. I knew it was expensive, so I sold all the house and everything that was valuable in my house......"
I glanced at the money bag on the table and was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he asked, "Do you know what a stepping bed is?" ”
"I don't know." The leper shook his head, "But I'm going to get one anyway!" ”
At the end, he did not forget to add: "It's a thousand workers pulling out the bed!" ”
I took two deep breaths in a row and explained to him in a slow tone:
"The stepping bed is the marriage bed for the young lady of the big family in ancient times. Because the bed is huge, the lady has to walk a hundred steps around the bed in small steps, so it is also called a hundred-step bed. ”
The leper nodded as if he didn't understand.
I said helplessly: "Thousands of workers pull out the bed, as the name suggests, it takes as many as thousands of craftsmen to build a ...... over several years."
It's hard for me to say any more.
This kind of bed, began in the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the top technology of the step bed, as many as hundreds or even thousands of tenon structures, the whole bed without a nail, its scale, the largest than the living room of modern ordinary people is larger.
Mo said that there are not many stepping beds that really survive in the world, even if they are imitated by modern technology, if the materials are exquisite, at least hundreds of thousands......
"Xu Qiu, who's coming?" Xu Jie's voice came from upstairs.
I hurriedly extinguished the cigarette I had just lit and made the leprosy head wait for a while.
I originally wanted to hug Xu Jie down, but Xu Jie heard that it was a leprosy head, but she looked at me with a smile and said:
"I still won't go down, you also said, this person didn't open the door when he spoke, he saw me, if you say something you don't like to hear, won't it upset you?"
I thought about it, turned around and went downstairs, and just around the corner, I saw a leprosy head standing down and looking up.
I was a little unhappy, and my heart said that this person was too rude, and I heard that there was a female dependent, what are you still looking at here?
When I came down, instead of being embarrassed, the leprosy had a strange expression, as if he wanted to stop talking.
I said, "My lover just got up, and she's a little inconvenient with her legs and feet. ”
The leprosy looked up again, scratched his head and walked forward, suddenly stopped, turned back to me, and asked:
"How many people are upstairs?"
I said with a calm face, "I'm the only one who loves me." ”
The leper stared at me for a while, touched his chin and sighed, "It seems that I found the wrong person this time, there are obviously two people upstairs, but you said there is only one." How can I believe you if you don't tell the truth? ”
