Hearing this, I hurriedly took a closer look at the old woman, nothing else, just her eyes and pupils were slightly darker than ordinary people, and even extraordinarily obvious. But the surrounding part outside the pupils, but there is a hazy and turbid atmosphere, suddenly, I saw the old woman Huo Di come to me, frightened me hurriedly retracted my gaze, and then, the old woman said very unhappily: "You little Taoist, what are you looking at?!" ”

"Uh......" I smacked my lips, this old woman is really weird, she looks crazy and stupid, but it seems that she has some words, and it seems to reveal a deep truth. This...... This inevitably reminds me of the old madman, this old woman and the old madman looked almost too similar when they were crazy and stupid, but the old madman finally found his soul and returned to normal, and the old woman ......, "Old man, you, what did you just say?" How do you know I'm a Taoist? ”

"Hey, hey!"

I didn't know that the old woman actually sold me a pass, shook her head and said: "Little Taoist, you don't know more, this is a heavenly opportunity, and the heavenly secret cannot be revealed...... I'm not going to tell you anyway. But one thing I can tell you is that I'm not a crazy old woman, hehe...... Hahaha...... "It's over, she doesn't say she's a normal person, I still suspect that she's a normal person, and the more she emphasizes that she's not crazy, the more sure I am that she's a madman."

In fact, there are many people in the world who are considered crazy, but they are not really crazy, maybe there are various reasons, the soul is not aligned, the soul is not possessed, and so on...... There are also people who have a vague sense of consciousness, that is, the turbid qi of the seven spirits is too heavy, and the yang qi is extremely weak, so the six gods have no master, and they speak upside down. In short, there are all kinds of situations for those crazy people, and the old woman in front of me, unless the master is there, I don't have the ability to see what her symptoms are.

I simply stopped dwelling with the old woman about these useless topics, and immediately asked, "Old man, how do you know that Master Chenghuang will take care of the affairs of Zhang Musheng's family?" Moreover, do you know Zhang Musheng? ”

Hearing my words, the old woman immediately pursed her lips and said, "Of course I know, because I told Zhang Musheng to ask Master Chenghuang for help." And for the affairs of Zhang Musheng's family, I am the only person in the whole village who knows, if you don't ask me to help you, I'm afraid you won't even know where those bad guys are. Alas, those people were so bad that they didn't want to give me a bite to eat, and they beat me...... Or Zhang Musheng's child gave me a bite to eat, Zhang Musheng's child is a filial son......"

At this time, when I heard the old woman's words, I seemed to be a normal person again. I was a little confused, frowned, and I hurriedly asked again: "Old woman, since Zhang Musheng is the Chenghuang master you asked him to find, and you know everything about this, why don't you tell me about it?" Yes, I came down the mountain this time to help Zhang Musheng get justice, you see, this is Zhang Musheng's ashes! ”

As I spoke, I handed the small jar to the old woman, who suddenly waved her hands, and stepped back with a frightened face, and said indistinctly: "This child is very resentful, I can't touch his ashes, it's too dirty and dirty, take it away!" I was stunned, tilted my head and looked at the columbarium, where is it dirty? However, Zhang Musheng is involved in a karmic debt and needs someone to help him settle it.

Under my repeated inquiries, the old woman intermittently told about meeting Zhang Musheng. Zhang Musheng is a native of Muga Village, not far ahead, and there was a seriously ill old mother in the family, in order to treat the old mother, but he dragged down this filial son. Everything that is worth a little money in the family is sold by him, and he takes medicine for his old mother to see a doctor, and even at such an old age, he doesn't take care of his life's events.

The neighbors all saw it, and some villagers quietly stuffed money for Zhang Musheng, but Zhang Musheng sent them back one by one, hoping to make money through his own efforts and see a doctor for his old mother. In fact, it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that Zhang Musheng is a sincere child, knowing that his family's money hole is getting bigger and bigger, if he takes the money from the villagers, he is afraid that he will not be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Zhang Musheng simply did not accept everyone's favors, so that he didn't have to worry about how to pay it back in the future. About five miles east of Muga Village, there is a Xiaowang Town, and every time Zhang Musheng grabs medicine for his old mother, he runs to Xiaowang Town to catch it. But once I went to Xiaowang Town, he was hungry for two days and didn't eat, the family really didn't have much money, and there was no time to dig wild vegetable roots.

In addition to the farmland cultivated by nearby villages, there is also a small restaurant on the side of the road, which is not large, there are four or five tables in it, but this small restaurant has taken a big name. Called "Xinglong Hotel", this hotel is said to have opened its doors in this area at the end of the Qing Dynasty to do business, and it has not closed down until now, and it has escaped the Anti-Japanese War.

So now the name of this small restaurant is even more solid. That day, the old crazy woman happened to go to the Xinglong Hotel to beg for food, and as soon as she was blasted out, she saw Zhang Musheng fainting at the door. So, the old crazy woman yelled, saying that there was a dead person at the door, and the people in the small restaurant didn't all run out, and the shopkeeper and the guys added up to three or five people, and they didn't say anything, and directly carried Zhang Musheng in.

However, it originally seemed to be an act of accumulating virtue and doing good, but it was precisely because of this that Zhang Musheng's current fate was caused. After Zhang Musheng was rescued, he shouted that he was hungry, and the shopkeeper of the small restaurant called Cui Huzi, and he was not ambiguous, and asked the guy to bring Zhang Musheng a big bowl of white noodles. Zhang Musheng gobbled down his stomach, and then he had the strength to tell his own suffering, Cui Huzi heard that Zhang Musheng had an elderly and seriously ill old mother in his family, and he had to take medicine, which was quite money-burning, and immediately said to Zhang Musheng, willing to temporarily lend Zhang Musheng a sum of money, not much, three hundred yuan.

If you say that you will give Zhang Musheng alms directly and do not ask for anything in return, Zhang Musheng will not want it. But if it is said that he will lend him turnover, Zhang Musheng thinks that he really has no money in his hand, because he has just come back from the market, and the few yuan he brings in his hand is not enough to take the medicine, and he is really desperate, and the old mother at home is still waiting for him to go home to decoct the medicine. Seeing that Cui Huzi helped him, Zhang Musheng, who was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed to Cui Huzi, and almost shouted his father in his mouth.

Cui Huzi handed over the money to Zhang Musheng, saying that he respected Zhang Musheng very much, but it was precisely because of his respect for Zhang Musheng's character and not letting people gossip, so he asked Zhang Musheng to write an IOU. Zhang Musheng didn't say anything, but he didn't let him write it, so he wrote an IOU on the spot, signed and stamped his handprint, and handed the IOU to Cui Huzi with both hands.

The money was obtained, the medicine was also given to the old mother, and the family's difficulties were temporarily solved. But within half a month of the peaceful days, there were a few unidentified reckless men who rushed into Zhang Musheng's house in Muga Village in the middle of the night, saying that he owed money and did not pay it back. Zhang Musheng was completely dumbfounded, when he saw Cui Huzi holding an IOU, he completely understood that Cui Huzi was a loan shark!

And after Cui Huzi's random calculation, in just half a month's work, the 300 yuan that Zhang Musheng borrowed, calculated with interest, the interest alone was more than 500, and it was not the principal. When Zhang Musheng heard it, he was going to die, and he didn't let people live! Originally, he didn't dare to ask for money from the villagers to his family, for fear that the favor would be bad, but this time he accepted the help of an enthusiastic brother who met in Pingshui, and he met a liar by mistake, or a loan shark.

Where can Zhang Musheng get so much money? But this Cui beard is also strange, you also choose a person who has the ability to repay the debt? Zhang Musheng is a poor man known in ten miles and eight villages, and he can't find three copper plates when he turns over his family, what are you doing with him? Zhang Musheng may also be strange, so he asked Cui Huzi why he was specially selected for such an honest person? Moreover, Cui Huzi's small restaurant is not far from Mga Village, so it should not be difficult to know how many taels Zhang Musheng has.

Cui Huzi directly dispelled Zhang Musheng's thoughts and asked him not to ask, but there is one thing, if Zhang Musheng wants to pay off this account, it is not impossible. As soon as Zhang Musheng heard that there was a way to repay the debt, it must have been nothing, and immediately asked what the way was. Cui Huzi did not directly tell Zhang Musheng what the solution was, but asked Zhang Musheng to go to the restaurant to find him the next night, and left after speaking.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Zhang Musheng that if he didn't go, the consequences could be imagined, Zhang Musheng was shocked and scared, he didn't care about his own life, the key was that he was afraid of affecting his seriously ill old mother in bed. But thinking that as long as Cui Huzi didn't target his old mother, it would be a big deal to risk his life to go on a trip the next day, and if he wanted to kill or chop, it was all up to Cui Huzi to speak. With a heartbeat, Zhang Musheng went to the restaurant the next night.

What was waiting for him was not a beating or scolding, nor a head, but ...... Ask for his blood!

Cui Huzi directly led people and led Zhang Musheng to the backyard of the small restaurant, and then asked the entourage to stay at the backyard door to guard, and took Zhang Musheng into the cellar in the backyard alone. I never thought that inside the cellar in Cui Huzi's backyard, it was a basement dug out at some point, and the space inside was really not small, it was as big as the space of the two houses outside. And the decoration inside is simply to show that it is a residence.

Zhang Musheng didn't guess wrong, Cui Huzi went to the entrance of the basement, listened to it, and told Zhang Musheng that in this basement, there lived a second uncle of Cui Huzi, and his second uncle didn't have any other hobbies in his life, just like to tinker with some Xuanmen spells and the like, originally wanted Zhang Musheng to pay for his life this time, but it turned out that his second uncle interceded for Zhang Musheng, saying that Zhang Musheng could help him with a little favor, if Zhang Musheng could help the second uncle solve the small favor, he let Zhang Musheng go, and wrote off the previous account.

Zhang Musheng heard that it was too good, it was just a small favor, as long as it was not fatal, he could go back and continue to serve his old mother afterwards. So, after listening to Cui Huzi's words, Zhang Musheng agreed, and under Cui Huzi's eyes, he walked into the basement tremblingly.
