Chapter 17: The Sound of Mahjong at Midnight
The so-called warm fire means that on the night of housewarming, you can't sleep, you can't turn off the lights, and you have to be lively.

But all these relatives are here, so they can't chat all night long!
Ever since, Li Chengze took out a few sets of cards prepared in advance, and a group of relatives set up five or six tables of cards, which looked very lively, and Li Chengze joined in in order to let his relatives enjoy themselves.

And we here in southern Shonan are a bit weird, usually three people play, with more than a dozen people watching from the sidelines. What's even weirder is that people who read the cards are always more excited than those who type the cards.Even now, this phenomenon is still the same. If you go to our southern Shonan, you will often see three people typing cards, and a dozen people shouting at the side, this one can’t be played, that one can’t be played, if you don’t listen to what you say, fire the cannon now Come on!
Although there are five or six tables of cards in Li Chengze's house, Li Chengze is a rich man and has many relatives who come to Nuanhuo. Just like what Lao Ban said, no one cares about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. Generally, when rich people do something at home, regardless of your relatives, they will participate.

Therefore, there were many people who were idle that night, so they gathered around and looked at the signboard, as if pointing the country.

There is definitely a winner or loser in this typing card, and those who win must laugh, and vice versa, those who lose must suffer.

Around midnight, this Li Chengze's family had a relative who was out of reach. He lost some money, but it wasn't much, but it looked like he had lost close to a hundred.

Of course, one hundred is not much to Li Chengze, but to that relative, it is a lot of money. To be honest, his relative originally planned to come here to win some living expenses, who would have thought that he would lose.

This is a loss of money. I certainly can't say that I haven't mastered my craft, but I have to find a reason!
No, Li Chengze's relative said that it was all because of the noisy people around him, after reading a few cards, they were still babbling, which caused him to lose money.

Those who lost money have said so, and the people watching the cards next to them naturally have to restrain themselves, otherwise, if there is a real trouble, it will be difficult to meet in the future.

In an instant, the originally bustling new house suddenly became silent, only those people playing cards were muttering a few words there.

As soon as the new house became quiet, a burst of rubbing mahjong was heard.

At first, Li Chengze and the others didn't pay much attention, thinking it was the neighbor next door playing mahjong, but after a while, the sound of playing mahjong became louder and louder, it was so crisp and ear-piercing, as if it was coming from the ear.

Now, Li Chengze couldn't sit still any longer, so he asked several other people if they heard the sound of mahjong being played, those relatives nodded and said yes, even Mo Qianxue said they heard it.

After a few people discussed it, they had to go to the next door to have a look and ask them to keep their voices down. Who would have known that as soon as they opened the door, they found that the neighbor's house next door was not lit, and there was no one playing mahjong. This frightened Li Chengze and his relatives. Eyes wide open, no one dared to speak.

The weirder thing is still to come, as long as you go out from this new house, the mahjong sound will disappear immediately, once you enter this new house, the mahjong sound will come out again.

After one night, Li Chengze and his relatives did not dare to type cards anymore, and spent the whole night tremblingly, until the rooster crowed, and the sound disappeared.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengze couldn't sit still, so he immediately went to find a Taoist priest nearby. Speaking of this Taoist priest, in Li Chengze's words, he was quite famous among them, and his methods were very effective. Crying for no reason and the like, a talisman will go down to ensure that the child will not make noise at night.

Such a powerful Taoist priest, when he visited Li Chengze's house, his expression immediately changed, and he told Li Chengze that he couldn't do this, and even if he did, it would bring him endless harm.

Then Li Chengze was also in a hurry, so he gave the Taoist priest a thick red envelope, but the Taoist priest didn't dare to accept it, so he said that there was something wrong with the new house, most of the craftsmen had tampered with the house, and it was useless to find the Taoist priest, after all. , Everyone’s system is different, so we have to find professionals about craftsmen.

The professionals that the Taoist said were actually our ghost craftsmen, and Li Chengze also took this opportunity to inquire about our ghost craftsmen.

Originally, this Li Chengze didn't quite believe the Taoist's words, he thought he would dance when he met a fairy.The reason is that the Taoist said that the ghost craftsman was miraculous, and said that it would cost a lot of money to hire a ghost craftsman to do things, and he had to give generous gifts.

But in the next few days, the matter of Li Chengze's new house became more and more evil. In the first two nights, he only heard the sound of mahjong, and on the third night, he could vaguely see a table The mahjong stand is in my living room, and four young people are sitting at the mahjong table playing mahjong.

The strange thing is that the four young people just sat there, just kept playing mahjong, and they didn't match the cards, repeating the same action over and over again.

It is worth mentioning that it was not Li Chengze who saw this scene, but his five-year-old son. At that time, Li Chengze didn't quite believe his son's words. After all, children say nothing!
But, later, every child who came to his house said that someone was playing mahjong in the living room of his house. In the end, his son cried every day and said that an older brother wanted to teach him how to play mahjong, and said that his brother's body so cold.

This frightened Li Chengze. He found the Taoist priest again and asked the Taoist priest for the ghost craftsman's name, place name,

At that time, the Taoist priest told him the names of two people, one was my senior brother and the other was my master. When Li Chengze heard that his apprentice was definitely not as good as his master, he bought some important gifts and rushed to the village where my master was. , but just to be on the safe side, he asked Mo Qianxue, who was in school, to find my senior brother.

That's when Mo Qianxue came to see me in the morning, and the reason why Li Chengze gave me a piece of He Tianxia now is reasonable. When he went to see my master, the gift in his hand hadn't been delivered to my master In his hand, my master said, the old man is getting old, you go to the coffin shop to find my little apprentice!

After listening to Li Chengze's narration, I was stunned, and asked quickly, "Are you sure what my master said is to go to the coffin shop to find my little apprentice?"

He hummed, "Little brother, to be honest, I have been here less than two hours from Master Ling, so naturally I can't remember wrongly. The old man did say that he asked me to come and find his little apprentice."

Hearing this, I was very worried, the senior brother had only been away for a little over a day, and the old man should not know about it, I think so, because I have been with the senior brother for so long, and I have never seen the senior brother I went to see the master, and I asked him the reason. He said that there was some misunderstanding between him and the master, and it was not easy to meet.

And listening to the master's tone, he seemed to know that it was really strange that the senior brother had left.

Just when I was dazed for a while, Li Chengze called me, "Little brother, what's wrong?"

I came back to my senses, let it go, and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something. By the way, I will take your cigarette. In addition, you will give me another [-] red envelopes, and I will solve this matter for you. "

"One...one...ten thousand?" Li Chengze tremblingly said as if he didn't expect me to say ten thousand.

I nodded without explaining, "It's only [-], if there is a penny less, you can find someone else."

When I say this, it seems to be blackmailing, but in fact, as far as his family’s affairs are concerned, ten thousand is really not much for him, because I have to take the risk for this matter, and if I fail, I may even risk my life on it. If it were my senior brother, it would be at least fifty thousand or more.
