I don't know if Big Eye lied to him, but I definitely did not lie to him.
I sternly said, "What good is it for me to lie to you? Your house has a three-story structure. The height of each floor is 3.13 meters. The three floors total 9.39 meters. The idea of a normal house is to combine nine and nine into one, which means keeping peace forever. Therefore, I concluded that your position on the roof should be set aside 20 centimeters. There is a cloud in the ancient Fengshui book, and the three frames are nine minus two into one. You The house did not jump from the height of the normal house. Looking at the whole house, it is surrounded by four sides called the front four doors. It is in the middle of the four front doors, which is the location of the patio, but you have left a patio alone. The distance between the four doors and the patio should be It's 3.68 meters, so I want to save money."
Having said that, I took a deep look at him and continued: "Plus you also know side doors, so you will never mess with this size. If I guess correctly, this patio meets the roof. The point should be on the second red rope on the patio."
After finishing speaking, I glanced at the second red rope on the patio, and my big eyes told me that this point can be called the auxiliary point. Generally, the beam must be checked in advance to see if the soil at the auxiliary point is normal before the beam can be mounted.
But Zhao Qiming dug this auxiliary point into a patio, so the mud quality cannot be checked, so he can only use copper coins to temporarily replace it.
After hearing what I said, Zhao Qiming patted his palms subconsciously, then said with a thumbs up: "High! It is really high! It seems that this beam will definitely be able to go up today."
I smiled bitterly, and said to my heart that it was not that I was tall, but that I was big-eyed and clever. I was just learning and selling now.
I ignored Zhao Qiming’s praise, but tied the red rope in my hand to the second red rope on the patio, and asked Zhao Qiming to pick up a cock outside, and put a little chicken blood on the auxiliary. Point.
After all this was done, I asked Zhao Qiming what time it was, and he said, it was almost nine o'clock, and I did not hesitate, closed my eyes, closed my hands with my mouth, and started to recite the spell taught me by Big Eyes.
The spell is very simple, only sixteen characters, and its main function is to suppress evil spirits. Just after I chanted the mantra three times, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable behind my back, like an itch. At first it was a little bit, and then it spread slowly, and the whole back was itchy.
I opened my eyes and wanted to scratch with my hands, but I couldn't catch the itchy back part.
Turning my head, I saw Zhao Qiming’s smile
Face, he held a thick red envelope in his hand, estimated to be at least 10,000 yuan.
He handed me the red envelope and said, "For you, this is the rule."
People like this don't make money for nothing, so I didn't be polite with him, and I took it and put it directly into my pocket.
Zhao Qiming also said: "After finishing the beam, there will be a bigger red envelope."
I said lightly: "Thank you." I took out my phone and checked the time, and I said: "The time is almost up, I can prepare for the beam."
Zhao Qiming handed over to me and said respectfully: "Then I will trouble you." His attitude suddenly changed, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I didn't care too much, so he said "you're welcome" and walked out of the new house.
It wasn't until later that Big Eye told me that the reason why Zhao Qiming suddenly became polite to me was because before he went to Liang, the host family could not have quarrels with others.
When I walked out of the room, it was about nine o'clock in the morning, ten minutes before the auspicious hour of Shangliang. Big Eye has already set up the altar, and a lot of villagers who like to watch the excitement also come. I don't know if they are afraid of Zhao Qiming's prestige. The villagers just watched from a distance and did not dare to approach.
Qian Zhiguo didn't know when he would also come. He stood on the side and wanted to come forward, but was stopped by a pig butcher.
Zhao Qiming told his relative, Fat Hu, that he should hang the pig's head on the beam when he is on the beam. Now he can kill pigs.
I know a thing or two about the idea of pig's head hanging on the beam. Generally speaking, hanging pig heads on beams is a rare thing, and even considered unlucky. However, hanging pig heads on beams is very common in ancient times. The purpose is not to ward off evil spirits, but to mean the number one champion in high school.
Why does it mean the champion? I also can't make it clear. However, Harvard University, a world-renowned university, has the nickname "Pig Head School Gate", which means that Harvard's education and research level is top. Even the “stupid talents” who come to Harvard can learn and become the world's top There is also a saying that engraving a pig's head on the front of the school is to remind Harvard students not to be proud of their talents and to be as humble as a pig.
Is the pig humble? Who knows, it may be due to cultural differences. Americans think pigs are humble animals.
However, no matter why Zhao Qiming hangs a pig's head on the beam, since the big eyes don’t say anything, I
Naturally, it is not easy to ask, lest Zhao Qiming think that I am ignorant.
At Zhao Qiming's order, Fat Tiger began to prepare to kill the pig, and Dayan and I stood aside and started smoking.
Before slaughtering the pig, Fat Hu first set off a firecracker to beg for a prize, and then he carried it a foot long. Huo Liang’s slaughter knife walked up to the big fat pig, holding the pig’s head with his left hand, and facing it with his right hand. The pig's neck is just a knife!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch...
The fat pig began to scream, struggling desperately. Fat Tiger grabbed the pig's ear with his big hand, stabbed the knife in his neck, and went straight down. In almost the blink of an eye, the pig head and the pig were alone.
The pig blood sprayed out two meters away, and the fat tiger was half of his body stained red by the sprayed pig blood.
A pig without a head, his limbs still twitching, and blood foaming from his neck...
I grew up in a rural area. It’s not uncommon to kill pigs in the village during the Chinese New Year, but this is the first time I have seen such a cruel way of killing pigs.
Zhao Qiming was very satisfied with Fat Tiger's neat knife skills, and immediately greeted the other helpers he had found, ready to lift the beams of the house.
Soon the time came to 9:30, and the beaming ceremony officially began, first with two firecrackers, then with big eyes, worshipping the ground, worshiping the land, burning yellow paper and so on.
I didn’t dare to delay after getting the instructions from Big Eye, so I walked quickly into the new house. When I reached the door of the new house, I subconsciously glanced back. As a result, I saw an alternative figure among the onlookers. , I can't help but froze.
The other party looks like he is about fifty years old. He is dressed in black cloth and has a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet. His height is a little shorter than that of ordinary people. There are faint stubble on the chin. The whole person looks like he has been washed by the years. After being worn out, there is an indescribable sense of decadence.
To say that his figure is unusual, not only is his clothes different from ordinary villagers, but also because of the breath that emanates from him. Although I don't know what that kind of breath is, my instinct tells me that the identity of the other person must be different.
Seeing that I noticed him, the other party immediately walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards us.
He walked up to Zhao Qiming's side. Compared with Zhao Qiming, he was half a head shorter, so he could only look up at Zhao Qiming.
Zhao Qiming's face sank and he said coldly, "What are you doing? I tell you the surname Jiang. If you are here to make trouble today, I will definitely not spare you!"
