The Old Man Who Owes a Cleaver
Chapter 46:The Old Man Who Owes a Cleaver
My grandfather couldn't believe it, and he stopped and stopped, because the wind stopped!
Everyone looked at each other, the former village branch book seems to have seen a lot of spiritual tricks, how much to understand a little, he was surprised and said: "Old Dao, this is?"
"The soul fails, the soul of wealth does not come!"My grandfather didn’t hide it, he said bluntly.
“This?How can this be so?”Everyone thought it was amazing that the old man’s face was distorted.
"It's strange."My grandfather shook his head and said, "This rarely happens, the old man has been through the soul hundreds of times, rarely failed, I did not expect this time to fail."
“Does the old man know why?”The old man asked again.
"There are only two cases, the first is that the soul is controlled and cannot come, and the second is that the soul has been dispersed."My grandfather looked at the old man and said that the faces of both men were very heavy.
"How can I do that?"Who is so evil that the soul of the property is not returned?"At the same time, the old man with the light of the oblique glance of my grandfather and my brother, from his eyes, I felt a deep doubt.
I suppose he suspected that my grandfather or my brother had detained the soul of the rich, but he did not dare to say it clearly, because there was no evidence, and I was afraid of the means of my grandfather and brother.
The people onlookers in Xiaguan Village exploded, and for the small mountain village that was usually very quiet, such a strange thing suddenly appeared, and the villagers' reaction was unusually large, because the villagers believed in these things.
“Old man, or will I try again?”The old village branch is discussed in a begging tone.
"It's no use, not once, not twice."My grandfather shook his head, then let my brother start to pack his head.
“This is a mess, so what’s the matter now?”The rich brother, the one who had held the statue before, now his face was wrinkled.
"Don't worry too much, it may be about the soul of wealth, you will get lost in a moment and a half, and maybe you will come back when we will come back, let's try it again in his first seven."My grandfather said to the people.
"That's all, it's hard work."The old village branch held a fist against us.
Then we left Xiaguan Village and returned to the farm under the sight of a group of people in Xiaguan Village, who were not trusting and unfriendly.
There was still a light in the house, and it was obvious that my sister-in-law was still waiting for us, and as soon as she entered the door, she found that her sister-in-law had cooked the night.
As we ate, my brother asked, "Grandpa, according to your experience, the soul of this wealth has not returned, or it is gone."
Grandpa held the noodles, shook his head, did not speak, did not look at my brother, we do not know what Grandpa thought in his heart, did not dare to ask, after eating all went to sleep.
The next morning, probably before seven o’clock, there was a clamor on the farm.
"Cooking knives, scissors, hoeing, Zhang Laoquan old brand with a top of twenty years!"
“Do you need one in your house?”
“Bring the knife!”
There are many vendors who come to the farm to sell things, there are those who sell oil strips, those who sell tofu, and those who sell paper money candles... but those who sell kitchen knives and scissors hoes for the first time.
“Is this the friendship?”The voice continued, because Wu Friendship is Wu Xiaoyue's grandfather, the old father of the village chief, and is opposite our home, so it is particularly clear to hear, and Wu Xiaoyue's family, so I am half asleep and half awake, wake up, and put up my ears to hear what is going on.
“Hello, what’s going on with my dad?”This is the mayor’s voice.
"Well, four years ago, I gave you a kitchen knife on my behalf, and now I'm here to collect the money."The old man continued.
"Ah?"My father gave you a knife, how can I not know?”The village chief was obviously surprised, how could some of his village chiefs be poor enough for Dad to go to the trinkets, but people said his father's name, so they heard him shouting into the house: "Dad, Dad, someone is looking for it!"
After a while, I heard the voice of his father, the mayor: “Hello, please, please?”
"Brother, forget, I went to your village to sell kitchen knives, on credit to you dozens of pieces of money, this time I came to collect money, you did not also credit a kitchen knife, I have all accounted for, and you covered the fingerprints."The old man finished laughing.
"Oh, yes, I remember, there's such a thing, you see, I'm always confused."The village chief's father said cheerfully: "Your kitchen knife is really good, but also on credit, you are a good person, how much money?"I'll give you the money."
“Ten dollars!Four years ago it was ten dollars, and now it is still ten dollars, I will not raise you a dime more!"The old man said.
“Is that... so honest?Then you suddenly went out on so many kitchen knives and scissors on this debt, after so many years to collect, will not lose money?Aren’t you afraid of people not finding or cheating?”The mayor asked in surprise.
“No not.”The old man smiled and said, "One is my little book, who will rely on you for ten dollars, and we are rural people are simple, I have not cheated on my truce knife for decades, but there is no one to find anyone, because I moved away, just like you this time, I ran to the village of Wu, but the soldier brother did not let go up, said you all moved here, so I came here."
“Yes, they all moved here.”The village chief's father said, "You take this ten dollars, I have a pack of cigarettes here, please smoke!"
"No, as long as you take care of my business next time."The old man smiled and said, "There are many people in your village who owe me money, and I will collect it."
“Then I’ll show you the way!”The mayor’s father said with a smile.
“Thanks, brother.”The old man thanked.
"Yes, the last time you gave us a kitchen knife on credit, you said that when there is no water in the mountains, I will collect the money again.The village chief’s father’s voice was somewhat surprised and said, “It’s not a coincidence, is it?”
“It just happened.”The man laughed.
Caught up, the door of our house opened.
Then came my grandfather's voice: "This brother, please wait, I buy a kitchen knife!"
“Oh, well!”The sound came to my door.
“Has my brother been to us in the village before?”My grandfather's question.
“Yes, four years ago.”
"Well, I was not in the village at the time, or I wouldn't have been able to get them to credit for your kitchen knives."My grandfather said bluntly, but strange.
I listened, climbed up, rushed to the door.
“Hey, I’m old spring’s scissors, so why not let them buy it?”The old man smiled.
"Don't let me buy it, it's not on credit, I'll give you cash."My grandfather and the old man in front of me looked at him.
The old man's eyes were heavy, and then squeezed out a smile and said: "There is cash money to the cash, no money on credit is no problem, our villagers are not easy, which one has not had a pocket when it is tight."
My grandfather picked up a kitchen knife, looked up and down, and said: "Good knife, then if I want to credit, when will you come to collect the money next time?"
The old man smiled and said, "When you can't eat water."
“This?”The mayor’s father stopped.
My grandfather's face was also very bad, he said: "Ugwu village does not come to the water, we can no longer eat water."
“Don’t buy it, don’t buy it, I don’t buy it.”Seeing that my grandfather did not want to buy it, the old man provoked the burden.
“Buy.”My grandfather took out ten dollars and handed it to the old man and said, “Please give me one or two directions, how can I get the villagers to eat the water?”
“Don’t you all have water to eat?”Which one is thirsty?”The old man smiled and turned his head away, and the father of the village chief was blind, even if it was wood, he felt that the old man with the credit knife was not simple, and they hurried along.
