Chapter 8: Inviting the Gods
I do not want to make things unmanageable, hastily pulled the widow let her forget, she saw me begging for mercy, let go of the glasses man, but still pointing at his nose and cursed a few words before giving up.
"Do not say you are what the county cadres, these two brothers are our village people afraid of the God of the plague, encountered a few ghosts are alive and well, if you are not afraid to die, just look for them to trouble, back to the old Liu I let the county to go to your unit, told them to prepare for the aftermath!"
Widow Zhang said sound and color, chest open mouth reveals white flowers also followed the trembling, with the villagers over to see the hilarity of the eyes are looking straight.
"He smashed my people, this has to compensate it!"
Glasses man do not see the yellow river not die heart, still have a fluke want to blackmail me some money, of course, this is in front of the shrewish Zhang widow is impossible to succeed, only to see her turn back to the past, to the townspeople shouted.
"Have you guys ever seen Shanzi hit anyone?"
"No!"
The townspeople were very forceful, which made me somewhat flattered, not waiting for me to say thank you after that, Widow Zhang asked the townspeople again.
"Did you see him molest me?"
"Saw!"
The man with glasses was taken aback, he had a strange expression, like a frosted eggplant, and angrily cursed, "You wait for me!" After saying that, he picked up Big Pie Face and prepared to leave.
This is not the result I want, glaring at the back of the glasses man, he yelled, "Son of a bitch, you're just going to walk away, twenty dollars back to the old man, apologize to the old man, otherwise I'll go to the county to sue you!"
Glasses man froze where, a good half day before touching out twenty dollars thrown to me, whispered 'I'm sorry', I gladly accepted, that many folks have applauded, many people shouted 'good ...... good! ...... good ......'.
I took a deep breath, want to say a few words, did not think of a buzz in the brain, the whole person fell unconscious on the ground ......
Waiting until the latter part of the night I woke up, only shorty accompanied by the side, took a look at the night outside the window and the cool wind blowing in from the cracks in the wall, I know in my heart that I am in my own home.
Seeing me wake up, shorty also no longer sleepy, draped in the quilt next to me sitting on the bed, after a long silence, I shook my head and said.
"Shorty, I want to be the village chief, only when the cadre, we can do things bigger!"
Shorty hmmmed a sentence, seemingly did not hear what I said clearly, I looked at him, saw his two eyes are lifeless, then felt strange, searching for what's wrong with him, just got out of a bad breath, should be happy!
"Brother Shanzi, I dare not sleep, close your eyes that white-faced bitch just floating around, we are not again messed with unclean things, or let's go to the countryside, find a godmother or godman to see!"
Shorty look depressed, must be too much shock, he said he got up and put on his clothes, and will also throw my shoes over, I glared at him, let him get some white wine to strengthen the courage.
White wine is hot and spicy, after filling a few mouths, I and shorty's courage is also big, put on the clothes and go out, just at this time, vaguely hear the rooster on the other side of the river, I laughed and said.
"Five nights, afraid of his mother's ghost, we have to think together, now four old early was eradicated, the so-called goddess of God are cheating money, so, we first go to the countryside cooperatives to invite a god back to sit in the lineup, have time for me to flip through the book, to see if you can find a way to crack the law."
Shorty heard, immediately laughed, jumped to the boat, touched the pocket before saying to me.
"Brother Shanzi, I can promise to take Fangzi to the countryside and buy her some clothes, can you look at me and give me three melons and two dates!"
This is a good thing, I have no reason to refuse shorty, touched two hundred, climbed on the boat stuffed him, but also instructed him a few words.
"Before spending the best while Fangzi not pay attention to break up, do not ask him to come back to yell trouble, to the township I go to the cooperative, we ten o'clock before the cooperative collection!"
Shorty received the money, smiling from ear to ear, as if Zhang Fang will soon sleep with him, but looking at this progress, the two will not take long to sleep together.
Canoeing to the other side of the river, walking to the kiosk, picked up Zhang Fang, three people went to the countryside, and so on after eight o'clock, I see enough time, invited shorty and Zhang Fang ate a few big meat buns, and then rushed to the cooperative.
At that time is a planned economy, the cooperative to buy things have to be invoiced, I do not know whether I came early, or the cooperative's business is slow, the house is not many people, only a fat chick, she lowered her head in the counter pounding.
"Beautiful sister, do you have any Bodhisattva or idol that can drive away ghosts and evil spirits here!"
The chubby chick saw someone calling her beautiful, raised her head to look at me, reached out and asked, "What do you want to buy, where's the ticket?"
I fished out two dollars and stuffed it into her, leaned over the counter and lowered my voice to a whisper and said.
"Beauty, this is for you, let's not talk to anyone, just sell me the Bodhisattva that repels ghosts and evil spirits!"
Fat girl seems to have never confiscated such a large sum of money, two pieces of fat meat on her face smiled almost squeezed together, she patted my hand, also whispered to tell me, this exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits of the objects are generally customized by temples and ancestral halls, and can't be sold for a year round!
I thought there was no more, revealing a very disappointed look, sighed and prepared to leave, but I didn't think she suddenly grabbed my hand and said mysteriously.
"Don't be anxious ah, I haven't finished you run what, count your luck, yesterday just arrived three Guan Gong statue, as long as two dollars a, how about it!"
Guan Gong wards off evil spirits, this is a household name now, I cheerfully smiled, "Oh ...... that's a good feeling, come one!"
I touched out five dollars and shoved it to her so that she didn't have to look for it, she was so excited that she almost climbed out of the counter and kissed me, jumped up and down, ran to the second floor like a squirrel, pushed the three-foot-tall Guan Gong to the stairway, and then shouted at me to help me.
I scuffed up and climbed up, looked at the serious Guan Gong, the fog in my heart suddenly went most of the way, picked up and went downstairs, strange enough, behind me like she pushed me, I was unsteady on my feet and fell from the top, Guan Gong went down before me, his body was broken in pieces, and his head rolled under the counter and disappeared.
"What the hell are you pushing me for?"
I climbed up, shook off the two hands that were hurt from the fall, looked at the fat girl on the stairs and cursed, while she was looking at me with an innocent face, her face was not as joyful as before, and she opened her mouth to curse me and said.
"Look at you white long a male body, so a little thing can not move, puppy only pushed you!"
She didn't push me, just now obviously was pushed a little, could it be that the white-faced young lady knows that I want to deal with her, obstructing me to invite this Guan Gong to go back?
Thinking of this, I was shocked out of a cold sweat, hastily touched out another ten dollars, walked up and stuffed into the hands of the fat girl, compensated with a smile and said.
"Good sister, it's my fault, I'll buy another one into it?"
The fat girl took the money, looked at my treacherous smile face, shook her head and said, "Then move another one, anyway, this thing is rarely bought."
I was very pleased, picked up a Guan Gong, with the experience of the last fall, this time I walked very carefully, step by step to move downstairs, wait until after the downstairs I dared to put it down to reach out and wipe the sweat.
"Guan Er Master ah Guan Er Master, you must help me punish that evil spirit!"
Prayed, I did not turn around to say thank you to the fat girl, but holding Guan Gong out the door, ready to go to find shorty, but who expected to walk to the corner of the place, the inside suddenly rushed out a bicycle, thumped into the Guan Er Master, it crashed into the thin, no way I reacted to the bike boy whimpering and ran out of sight, I pointed at his back after a flurry of curses, then I feel creepy in my heart.
Can't it be really that white-faced lady obstruction, six years old that burned the embroidered shoes will be fine, but this time is what?
I am puzzled, looking for a co-op there is still one, so walked back, the fat girl saw me return empty-handed, could not help but be surprised and said.
"I said what is wrong with you, that Guan Gong has a grudge or love with you, what's the matter, fell again?"
I laughed with chagrin, knowing that she likes money, so I had to touch out ten dollars again and hand it to her, looking at her eyes and said sincerely.
"Sister, this thing anyway buy people are not much, you sell to me, turn back to sneak into the back to replenish to the treasury on it, they can also fall two money to buy some fruits and so on!"
Obviously, she was impressed by my sincerity, dabbing to run to the upstairs shouting me up to get, I think this time in any case have to move back, so walk is a step three look, for fear of making any mistakes.
All the way out, smoothly through the corner, all the way safe and sound, until I met the short guy, I realized that this is not a coincidence.
Shorty and Zhang Fang saw me holding a Guan Gong, shouted from a distance, ran over to help me, Guan Gong is a little heavy, my hands are numb, so while moving to Shorty, while instructing said.
"You damn careful, just one more!"
Who expected that I just finished, Guan Gong slipped from Shorty's hand, when the sound fell into slag, I was paralyzed with fear, and then I leaned against the wall, chanting.
"Finished Finished ...... This time can really count on bad luck!"
Once fell, can be explained by mistake, the second fall, can be explained by chance, but this three times fell, I can no longer find a reason to convince myself, because under the sky, in addition to the story in the mouth of the storyteller, then there is no such a coincidence.
Shorty did not know that I have fallen two, grinning, kicked the ground debris, chattering: "fall on the fall, let's go to buy another, the township does not have, we can go to the county!"
I shook my head and told Shorty that I had already dropped two of them, and Shorty's face instantly turned white with fear, and if Zhang Fang hadn't been there, I would have cried out to my parents!
I leaned against the wall and thought for a long time, suddenly remembered the "Ten Thousand Methods of Returning to the Tibetan" has a transformation of ghosts in the formation, can not help but grin, muttering to himself, "Damn, Guan Er Master does not help us, we think of our own way, go, go home."
Zhang Fang saw me and shorty talking a shock, frowned and scolded us both crazy, I looked at shorty and smiled.
"Did you buy clothes?"
