I rely on fortune-telling to conquer wealthy families
Chapter 28 Snake
After a comfortable night's sleep, Shang Qing felt refreshed when he woke up, making up for the sleep he had missed in the previous few days. As for the old ghost he met yesterday, he had long forgotten about it.
Picking up the phone and taking a look, Meng Huai sent a message: "The flight to Baishui Town at 12 noon has been booked for you, don't forget it."
I looked at the time again and saw that it was only nine o'clock. It was totally too late.
Shang Qing got up and had breakfast. Butler Zhao came over with a smile on his face and said, "Young master, several big families in Qingyun City have organized a banquet to celebrate tonight. I hope you can enjoy it. This is the invitation letter."
Shang Qing's mouth twitched, "Celebrating Qingming Festival? Are all these rich people so sinister?"
Butler Zhao coughed dryly and whispered: "Celebrating the downfall of the Xin family. You don't know that since you came back from the Xin family, the head of the Xin family has been bedridden. I heard that he is not in good spirits. He always says that there is a ghost trying to harm him. Just The day before yesterday, the head of the Xin family passed away in the middle of the night, and the Xin family still has a mourning hall!"
"Although the Xin family is large, the rest of them are... ahem, in short, from now on, the Xin family basically exists in name only. I heard that except for our Zhou family, several other families have reaped a lot of benefits!"
Shang Qing was speechless and shook his head, "Celebrating the destruction of other people's families is even more destructive than celebrating Qingming Festival. I don't know how many years the luck-absorbing magic circle has been placed in the Xin family. Every penny of the Xin family is stained with blood. Such money is robbed. , and I’m not afraid of losing my life.”
Butler Zhao quickly lowered his head, "Then, the banquet..."
Shang Qing waved his hand, "I'm not going, whoever you love will go. Pack your bags for me, I want to go out for a few days."
As they were talking, the two walked to the living room. In the huge living room, only Yuanyuan was sitting on the large sofa watching cartoons. The little girl is thin and small, holding a small blue pillow, looking a little pitiful.
Seeing Shang Qing, Yuanyuan showed a small smile, "Brother!"
She ran over, "When did my brother come back yesterday? I don't even know! My brother is back, is my mother coming back too?"
Shang Qing tilted his head and looked at Butler Zhao, who said softly: "Madam went to Xin's house a few days ago and she hasn't come back yet."
Shang Qing continued to be speechless. Don't ask, Mrs. Zhou will definitely not keep a vigil for Xin Cheng. She probably sees that the Xin family is going to fall and she wants to go back to reap the benefits!
He made a phone call and said, "Come back to see the kids. If a dollar from the Xin family falls into your hands, I guarantee that you will be absolutely impoverished and starved for the rest of your life." After that, he ignored the hurried explanations and hung up. Got the phone.
As a member of the Xin family, she has already been affected by karma, so why would she go back to reap the benefits? Is it because she is afraid that those grievances will not find her? I don’t know what to think.
After thinking about it, he lowered his head and said to Yuanyuan, "Your mother will be back soon."
Yuanyuan was happy, she looked up at him and showed a big smile, "Brother is the best!"
Shang Qing rushed to the airport, met Meng Huai's family and You Ziming, and got on the plane together.
This time Meng Huai's father also came. This uncle looked exactly like Meng Huai. He had a round face and a double chin. He looked very kind and good-natured.
He heard that Meng Huai disappeared and was found by Shang Qing. He kept pulling Shang Qing to say thank you, grabbing snacks in his hand to him, which made Youzi groan.
Shang Qing was so annoyed that he turned around and stuffed it all into his mouth, thinking: I will choke you to death.
When the group arrived at Baishui Town, it was already past six in the afternoon. The Meng family has an old house in Baishui Town. They have been hiring people to clean it up, so it is very convenient to live in it directly.
Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng treated Shang Qing to a meal of authentic local food, and everyone took a rest.
The next morning, the group went out for a walk. Not to mention, the scenery in Baishui Town was pretty good. In the afternoon, Shang Qing got up from a nap and heard a noise outside.
The Meng family's house is a self-built two-story building with a quite spacious yard. This is a common architectural form in Baishui Town. At this time, the noise was coming from the yard.
Shang Qing went downstairs, and Meng Huai ran over and explained in a low voice: "Did it wake you up? These are my cousin's relatives. My mother and I want to go see my cousin, and they are waiting for us to go to the ancestral grave together. They are here We are worshiping ancestors in the afternoon, so we will probably come back very late in the evening, what will you do for dinner?"
Next to you, You Ziming also came over, "You go and do business first, while Shang Qing and I will buy something to eat."
Meng Huai nodded and sighed, "We are said to be cousins. In fact, our two families are not related by blood. Her parents are gone, so she lives with her grandma. I lived in that grandma's house for a while when I was a child, and she always took me to play. .I remember she was a very good-tempered young lady.”
"Later, I went to Qingyun City with my parents and didn't come back for more than ten years. I didn't expect to hear news about her again, so I said she was gone. She was only twenty-five, and I didn't know how she left. Mom asked several relatives, but they didn’t say anything.”
The little fat man sighed, feeling that it was such a pity. Hearing Shang Qing let out a soft sigh, Meng Huai raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"
Shang Qing observed the so-called cousins and relatives, pondered for a moment, took out three talismans and folded them into a triangle and handed them to him, "You and your uncle and aunt each take one. I'm afraid the ancestral grave is not peaceful. You won't see anything for a while." The panic is not directed at you. As long as you don't disrespect the deceased, nothing will happen."
Meng Huai quickly took it. At this time, a middle-aged man over there said, "Okay, it's getting late, it's time to set off."
Meng Huai looked at Shang Qing, and Shang Qing patted him on the shoulder, "Go, it's okay."
The little fat man left uneasily. He didn't say not to go. His cousin was very good to him when he was a child, so it was appropriate to go and pay homage.
There is no cemetery in Baishui Town. After death, people are directly cremated and buried in the ancestral graves of each family on the mountain.
Led by the middle-aged man, the group drove directly up the mountain.
Meng Huai didn't know these relatives at all. He only heard others call this man Uncle Zhang. He quietly took out the talisman and handed it to his parents. He just said, "Shang Qing gave it to me." The two of them immediately picked it up without asking. Meng Huai couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that his parents trusted Shang Qing more.
Along the way to the Zhang family's ancestral graves, I saw more than a dozen grave heads standing silently from a distance, and it was clear whether they were close or distant. After the ceremony, each family took out flowers, fruits and other sacrificial supplies from their cars and walked towards the relatives they wanted to pay homage to.
Cousin Meng Huai's grave is the newest one here. In front of it stands a thin tombstone with her name scrawled on it: Zhang Manyin.
This young girl had the fewest people at her grave. Only Meng Huai's family came to see her. She was of no importance when she was alive, and not many people remember her when she is dead.
When Aunt Meng saw the tombstone, she couldn't help it. Her eyes turned red and she started crying, "Yin Yin, Auntie came to see you..."
Meng Huai sniffed, took out a wet wipe and wiped his cousin's tombstone, and then placed the fresh fruit offerings he had brought. I heard that it used to be necessary to burn paper, but in recent years this is no longer allowed.
The family talked to Zhang Manyin in front of the grave for a while. Aunt Meng said that Yin Yin was gone and she didn't know how her grandmother was doing. She would go see the old man tomorrow. Naturally, Meng Huai and Meng’s father had no objection.
At this time, they heard exclamations and screams nearby. The three of them looked up and were instantly shocked!
I saw a few people nearby clearing away the weeds of an old tomb. However, when they pushed aside the grass blades, they discovered that there were densely packed snakes underneath!
The snake was black and red, extremely bright, bunched together, twisting and squirming, it looked very scary!
Gradually, snakes emerged from all the graves, one after another, which made people's scalp numb! The snakes crawled down the grave, chased the Zhang family and started biting!
They crawl very fast and attack with their necks raised. Their bites will leave two bloody holes on a person's ankle! The Zhang family was so frightened that they cried for father and mother and crawled around!
Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he shouted, "This snake bites people! Run! Run!"
There was another commotion among the people, who didn’t want to run away! The key is that you can't escape from here! I don’t know where so many snakes came from, but they were still in the cemetery. This is really weird!
The three members of Meng Huai's family were frightened at first, but later they discovered that the snakes were walking around them and could hardly touch them, let alone bite them.
Uncle Zhang was much older after all. He quickly realized what he was doing and ignored the snakes all over the ground. He turned around and knelt down towards the graveyard, "I don't know which ancestor was angry. We, the younger generation, knew we were wrong. You, sir, have a lot of them. Please forgive us." Come on! If there’s something wrong, let’s correct it!”
He gritted his teeth and banged his head several times.
Seeing that the snake attack eased, the others followed suit and kowtowed. For a time, a large area of the grave fell to its knees. No one dared to raise their heads, they could only hear hissing sounds coming from all around, and the fishy smell emanating from the snakes.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was silence everywhere. When everyone looked up again, the snakes had disappeared. There was nothing unusual about the graves in front of them, as if everything that had happened before was their hallucination.
Uncle Zhang wiped the sweat from his face and whispered: "Hurry up and be careful where you step."
Even with his instructions, these people couldn't wait to crawl out on their knees.
The three men from the Meng family also breathed a sigh of relief and followed the Zhang family out. Meng Huai took out the talisman and took a look. The edges had turned black. The three of them looked at each other and immediately quickened their pace: If something like this happens, they must go back and find the domestic master!
Meanwhile, their domestic master is wandering around. The scenery in Baishui Town is really beautiful. There are green tiles and white walls everywhere, as well as small bridges and flowing water. Even the people walking on the street are smiling.
Shang Qing bought some fruits and snacks that are special here, and wandered all the way to a market. Just when I was looking at what was new, I heard a voice say: "Are you Ah Qing?"
He turned around and found an aunt wearing a blue headscarf. She smiled in surprise and said, "It's really Qing, she's so old. Are you coming back this time to pay homage to Taoist Mo?"
Shang Qing searched the original owner's memory before he recognized this person, "Hello Aunt Cao."
Aunt Cao laughed happily, "I haven't seen you since Daoist Priest Mo left. It's just a good time to meet you this time. Dao Priest Mo also left a lot of things at my place. Some of them were given to him by your mother. You can pick it up at my house when you have time."
As Aunt Cao spoke, she stuffed a lot of food into Shang Qing's pocket. She also came to visit the market.
After Shang Qing said goodbye to her, he walked slowly alone. The original owner was taken back by Taoist Priest Mo when he was three years old. The old Taoist priest told the original owner that his parents were dead and he was an orphan.
Of course, now I know that Daddy is not dead, although he is almost dead.
Since he has taken over the body of the original owner, he should go back and burn incense sticks for Taoist Mo and the original owner's mother.
Shang Qing strolled back to Meng's house. As soon as he entered the door, Meng Huai jumped at him. The little fat man cried sadly, "You scared me to death!"
Shang Qing looked at the sky, making his skin crawl, and asked, "What's wrong? I took a look this afternoon and found that the ancestral grave was not peaceful. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Meng Huai opened his teeth and claws to tell the story, and shuddered, "It's terrible! There are so many snakes! And they are black and red. They have bitten many people. I don't know if they are poisonous or not."
However, after he finished speaking, he saw that Shang Qing's face became serious, "Snakes gather in the cemetery. I'm afraid your cousin has a great injustice."
