ghost craftsman

Chapter 19

Then Mo Qianxue saw that I was stunned at the entrance of the village, and had no intention of entering the village at all, so she urged me, "Why are you standing there, enter the village!"

I looked at her, and sometimes I really wanted to say that ignorance is also a kind of happiness, so I hummed and walked straight to Li Chengze's house without saying a word.

When he came to Li Chengze's house, he was a little excited, grabbed my hand, and said enthusiastically: "Little brother, you are finally here, you haven't eaten yet. Come, come, come, dinner is ready for you."

I nodded, and made another gesture towards him asking for a red envelope. This was not because I was greedy for money, but because I asked him to ask for a red envelope for starting work, just to get a good start.

He was startled, then understood immediately, and said with a smile, "I understand, I understand."

While talking, he handed me a red envelope, I squeezed it, it was estimated to be 100 yuan, nodded, said a few auspicious words, and followed him to the restaurant.

Needless to say, his house is well-made, antique, and grown up so big. This is the first time I entered such a beautiful house. I inevitably took a few more glances and found that his house, as a whole, is not What's the problem.

Of course, what I said is no problem, only where there is wood, as for other places, I don't have the ability to show him.

During the meal, Li Chengze's daughter-in-law, son, and daughter were all there. I don't know if I misread it or what happened. Li Chengze's son glanced west from time to time, and every time he glanced, his face changed. It will be ugly.

Even so, the kid still looked there from time to time.

I didn't ask because I was having dinner. After the meal, I first asked Li Chengze to call his wife, daughter and Mo Qianxue away, leaving behind his son.

Then Li Chengze probably knew that I was going to get down to business, so without further ado, he quickly told those people to go to another room, while I walked towards his son, squatted down in front of the boy, and asked, "Little friend, brother Let me ask you something, why do you always look that way."

As I spoke, I pointed towards the west.

To say that Li Chengze's son is indeed a descendant of a businessman, he replied in a childlike voice, "My father said that when asking someone about something, you must first give a red envelope."

I...I...I was also speechless, so I looked over at Li Chengze, and found that he gave me a wry smile, "Little brother, I made you laugh!"

"Jizu, don't talk nonsense, tell brother!" He said to his son again.

"I don't, it's my father who said it. You have to give the red envelope first when you inquire about something." Although the boy is only five years old, he has a very stubborn temper.

In desperation, I touched my trouser pocket, took out a dollar and handed it to him, "Can I talk now?"

He took the one dollar, like a little adult, first wiped the one dollar, then folded it in half, put it in his trouser pocket, and smiled at me, "Because there are four brothers playing mahjong over there!"

After finishing speaking, he took my hand and walked over there. When he reached the position near the west, he pointed and said in a childlike voice: "Here, it's just a little ahead, four brothers Play mahjong there."

"Can you tell me the exact location?" I asked him.

He shook his head vigorously, "I dare not, I am afraid that if I go over, they will beat me."

After saying this, a terrified expression appeared on the child's immature face, and the whole body began to tremble. I couldn't ask any more questions, so I slapped Li Chengze, meaning to let him take the child away.

Then Li Chengze came back to his senses, picked up the boy, and went directly to the next house. Soon, he ran back, stood beside me, and asked me: "Little brother, do you see this house? What's the problem?" ?”

I shook my head, but I remembered what Mo Qianxue said in my mind. She said that his relative had already moved out of the new house, but judging by the situation, Li Chengze hadn't moved out.

I expressed my doubts in my heart, and he explained to me that he usually stays at the house next door, but today he knew that I was coming, so he deliberately opened fire at home, and asked me if it was okay to do so.

I said nothing, stared at the west side, and found that the place was empty. Near the wall, there was an old-fashioned wooden window. The wooden carvings on it were a pair of mandarin ducks. Concave and convex is simply a work of ingenuity.

In all honesty, if I were to carve, I would definitely not have this skill. It can even be said that I am not as good as one percent of his knife skills.

Immediately, I asked Li Chengze, "Did you hire someone to carve this window, or did you buy it off-the-shelf?"

As soon as this wooden window was mentioned, a trace of pride flashed across Li Chengze's face, and he explained: "Little brother, I have good eyesight. I hired a master craftsman to help me with this wooden window. The old man has studied woodworking all his life, especially in the field of carving." One piece, it can be said that it is one of the best in southern Hunan, and I spent a lot of money to invite his old family."

I hummed and didn't say anything more, so I walked over and raised my hand to touch the wooden window. It should be made of toon wood, no, strictly speaking, it should be the best red toon among the toon woods.This kind of red toon wood is bright in color, reddish brown and purple bright, with clear texture, strong fragrance, moderate hardness, corrosion resistance, and easy processing. Generally, this kind of red toon wood is chosen for making musical instruments or carvings. , known as Chinese mahogany, in the entire timber market, this red toon is a high-end product with a high value.

Discovering this situation, I glanced at the other windows of the house. What puzzled me was that the other windows were made of aluminum alloy, but this window was made of wood. I asked Li Chengze reason.

The explanation he gave me was that he asked a Feng Shui master to look at the house, and said that this location is a missing corner in the northwest of the whole house. It is not suitable to use metal as windows, but wood must be used.

I thought about it for a while, and it seems that there is indeed such a saying in house feng shui. However, I didn't know much about feng shui at that time, so I didn't ask further, so I asked Li Chengze a few questions about this wooden window, basically asking Did he offend the old master, and asked him if anything happened when the old master installed the window.

He said that no matter whether it was carving windows or installing windows, nothing happened, and he got along very well with the old master.

This made my face sink. According to my initial thought, there must be something wrong with the wooden window, but he has said so, and I can't say anything more.After all, if an ordinary master really wants to play tricks on this, he must first be at odds with his boss, and no one is willing to make a wrong move for no reason.

I think so because the patriarch Lu Ban was worried that his disciples and grandchildren would be bullied when they went out to work, so he created a magic spell called "Que Yimen". This "Que Yimen" is divided into two volumes. spells for people, and the second volume is some spells for saving people.
