technical type

Ji Mo also thought about whether he could supply the goods to that company, but he was shocked after asking. First of all, it is impossible for Mr. Li to make it in advance. Paper is like this. No matter how white it is, the time to put it away After a long time, it may become damp and moldy if it is not exposed to light, and it may turn yellow and fade when exposed to light, which is a problem in preservation.

Secondly, that shop also has a stable supply of goods, and he can make these himself. Although the paper figurines he made are the most common level of Uncle Li in Ji Mo's opinion, for many people, a paper figurine is It's just an insignificant point on the funeral ceremony, it's just passable, and the coffin is the big one.

From wood to materials to carving to engraving, they are all exquisite, but the paper figurines are relatively less particular, if there is, it will reveal a bit evil.

For example, there are folk rumors that paper figurines cannot be kept for a long time, and things will happen if they are kept for a long time.Uncle Li is also very contradictory. He is doing this line of work, but he is afraid of it. Just look at the first ready-made paper man in his family who can’t find it. He still cares about all kinds of taboos. of.

Ji Mo studied with Uncle Li for two years, and he also heard a lot about these messy superstitions and taboos. At first, he listened to them as Liaozhai. After that, I love to listen to it even more.

One old and one young, one loves to talk and the other loves to listen, there is really a tacit understanding.

The past two years have been peaceful, there has been no conscription, and there have been no famines. Even though the government's taxes are still the same, but the weather is good, no one can't survive, so it's safe and sound.

The days of Uncle Li and Ji Mo are also uneventful. After two years of working together, the master and apprentice have become closer to each other. No matter what Uncle Li says to Ji Mo, he will not blow his beard and stare, but he can calm down Talk about what you have heard from your master.

Occasionally, he would even brag to Ji Mo about how he survived by relying on the hearsay tricks during the famine years.

This is quite practical, although the method is a bit low-class, but the market for ancient superstitions is still quite large, and most people accept these gods and ghosts, and it is easy to believe them.

Ji Mo would applaud Uncle Li's ingenuity as if he was listening to a legend. In all fairness, if he was himself, he would definitely be helpless when encountering a mob looting food. He would be targeted because he had food. It is estimated that he will only run fast, instead of pretending to be a ghost like Uncle Li.

"This trick is really brilliant!"

Spread harmless red paint on dry food, and it will sound powerful when the flesh and blood are eating and scaring people.

Uncle Li shook his cattail fan and smiled without saying a word. He would never say that he had put poison on other dry food at that time. If he didn't poison one or two bold people, how could anyone really believe in ghosts just because of their color?

This kind of ghostly trick shows the cruelty of life, so there is no need to explain it to children in detail.

The two were sitting and talking under the tree, and there were also some daughters-in-law and girls sitting and talking and working under the tree not far away. There were a lot of people there, and they were not far apart. The affairs in the room are just talking about the man and the girl, it's just a waste of time.

"Ji Mo, why don't you go home and take a look, your sister is engaged!"

When Huang Tao shouted, half of the daughter-in-law over there had already left. In the past two years, Huang Tao has also become a young boy. What's the rush, aren't you also in a hurry to marry a wife?"

"If I want to marry, I will marry you who are familiar!" Huang Tao didn't blush at all, and he came to the young daughter-in-law with a trick, and was not ashamed when he was spat on. Seeing that the daughter-in-law quickened her pace and ran away You can also hear other people joking.

Ji Mo was surprised at first, and then turned to look at Uncle Li. He had a feeling that Uncle Li didn't seem to want him to get close to the Ji family.

Uncle Li didn't say anything, and waved his hand at him, meaning to let him go and have a look. After all, he didn't break up the relationship and didn't leave the clan. Mr. Ji Mo's surname is still Ji. If you don't go and look at the affairs of the Ji family, just A village will be drowned by spitting stars in the future.

Ji Mo didn't notice this kindness, and ran away with Huang Tao and the others. There was nothing serious in the village, and any movement would cause a group of people to swarm up, as if they hadn't seen excitement in a few lifetimes.

When they arrived, Huang Tao and others used Ji Mo's name to push the others away, and they went straight into the courtyard. The small courtyard of Ji's family was full of people, and the matchmaker in red was talking about something , the betrothal gifts given by the engagement are all covered with red silk, which looks festive.

The room was full of human heads, and it was so dark that it was impossible to tell who was who.

"This is the Ji family, let him in!"

Huang Tao shouted, pushing Ji Mo like an arrow with a gold medal, making everyone around him get out of the way, and he followed Ji Mo into the house.

There was almost no place to stay in the house. Ji Mo didn't see the third sister who was engaged, but he saw the eldest sister and second sister who had been married long ago, and several brothers and sisters-in-law, and their children. Talking and laughing, gathering together, it was really lively.

At this moment, the matchmaker had already finished singing the ceremony in the yard, explaining everything about the bride price, including some words of praise for the two families.

After listening for a while, Ji Mo realized that the third sister had decided on a family named Yang, called Yang Feng, who seemed to have some money, and seemed to be a businessman.

"Third Sister is a good relative, and she will have nothing to worry about in the future."

The sister-in-law praised, and the third sister who was praised by her was surrounded in the middle, and she lowered her head in shame, her face was flushed, as if she had been painted with pink powder.

Not only one sister-in-law said this, but several people around said the same, and everyone praised her. Huang Tao watched it with relish, and laughed along with it from time to time.

Ji Mo looked at it for a while and found it boring. He was stared at by his mother, shrank his neck, and took a step back. Just in time, his second brother grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the yard, "What are you doing here? Go, don't Watch the fun here and coax your master to go."

"Master agreed to my coming." Ji Mo argued.

"Agreed ass, you are a stupid ass." The second brother scolded directly, and raised his hand to greet him on the head, but Ji Mo dodged it, and before he could show his complacency, another slap landed on him Looking at Ji Mo's head, the second elder brother smiled instantly, he is also a half-grown man, his swarthy face looks like an old monkey on weekdays, but this smile seems to return to the worry-free childhood Carefree.

He pressed Ji Mo's head again, and said, "Don't come back if you have nothing to do, be filial to your master, and there will be more ways out in the future."

Ji Mo thought, they also have feelings, and hoped to open a relationship with him, so that Uncle Li would not be stingy to teach him.

"Yeah." He replied in a muffled voice, but he couldn't laugh out loud from the laughter in the yard.

The second brother gave him a push and told him to leave quickly, but Ji Mo didn't stay any longer. When he returned to Uncle Li's house, he saw that Uncle Li's food was all ready, and it looked like he was about to eat on the table.

"Are you back?" Uncle Li asked, and Ji Mo nodded.

After stuffing a mouthful of meat into his mouth, Uncle Li asked again, "Why didn't you leave it there for dinner?"

Ji Mo chuckled and said, "There is no food for me, I will eat with Master!"

While speaking, he picked up the bowl, and there was indeed a bowl on the table, which was for him.

The bustling over there, the deserted one here, this comparison, it seems that it is very clear why Uncle Li does not want him to get close to the Ji family, this is clearly the difference between giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake!

The icing on the cake, there is no shortage of him.

On the day when the third sister got married, Ji Mo went to join in the fun again. After all, he was also from the Ji family, and he was able to get a red envelope. When he saw the groom who came to welcome the bride, he realized that it was one of the diggers who came to pick up the paper figurines that he had seen two years ago. , this is really...

"Master, Master, is there any problem with this?"

Ji Mo only took a red envelope, and he ran back in a hurry before he had time to take a bite of the meal. Because of Ji Mo, the Ji family had a little contact with Uncle Li, but because of the unpleasantness of being a teacher at the beginning, they didn't see each other during the holidays. Yes, this time the third sister of the Ji family's marriage is also the same, anyone can go to the banquet, but there is no special invitation to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li didn't go at all.

Seeing Ji Mo running back in a hurry, he thought something was wrong, but when he heard this, he gave him a glance: "It's a big deal, it's not definite, so what, if the people don't raise their officials, they won't be held accountable. You have nothing to do to sue him?"

"How is it possible?" Don't say that he has a relative now, but he doesn't have anything to do. If he insists on picking such a thing, he is not a person with such a strong sense of justice.

"That's it. Don't worry about it so much. Your third sister is happy, so why worry about it? Besides, such a family may have a better life, so you don't have to worry about it." Uncle Li said the truth.

It is impossible to go to the business of tomb robbery every day, it can be regarded as eating for three years at a time, and people like them can always accumulate some good things, and the relationship in all aspects is not too bad. Relatively, they live much happier than ordinary people Yes, life will not be too bad.

"It seems... yes!" Ji Mo has been a good law-abiding citizen all his life, and he has never challenged such gray relatives. He suddenly knew that, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit impatient. Hearing what Uncle Li said, his thoughts changed, It seems to be true, these days, the poor and the poor are relatives.

Just look at the frequent peasant uprisings and pull a large area. As long as they are not in a hurry, no one will tell the secret to the government. Besides, they have been fine for so many years. It's not his child's turn to worry.

"Ah, I just took a red envelope, can I still get it when I go back?" Ji Mo exclaimed, turned his head and ran back, Uncle Li looked at his back and smiled, this kid, he is so confused when he is confused.
