Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 802 Top beam
As Shang Tianbao couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, he finally understood what Wang Shuai meant by "humiliation".

Although he understood the meaning of this sentence, Shang Tianbao at this moment was completely in deep despair.

The main thing is that for a serious man, this kind of thing is a shame that can never be washed away in his lifetime!

But this kind of shame is still happening one after another.
Finally, after a long, long time, everything is over!
Comrade Shang Tianbao, however, was still kneeling beside the squat toilet, his face pressed tightly against the cold concrete floor.

However, at this moment, there was no longer any color in Shang Tianbao's two big eyes, and his face looked deathly pale, as if he had no hope for his future life.

Even the smell of urine emanating from the pit could not affect Shang Tianbao in the slightest. He just knelt there straight and didn't move at all.
However, the people in the fence had no reaction to this scene. In fact, from beginning to end, there was not even anyone watching the fun.

The indifference of human nature was displayed vividly by this group of people in this house.

In the blink of an eye, time came to three days later.

But within these three days, Shang Tianbao had undergone tremendous changes.

At this time, Shang Tianbao had messy hair, dull eyes, untidy beard, and was sloppy. He looked like a numb fool, lying in a daze on the bed closest to the toilet.

As for why he was lying down instead of sitting, people who knew the inside story could see it at a glance.

Because Shang Tianbao's clothes and pants were covered with some kind of wrinkled marks, just like the appearance of dried snot.

Not only that, the bloodstains on the pants had already solidified into black, which seemed to prove something.

In general, during these three days, the clean and honest comrade Shang Tianbao definitely experienced inhuman torture and blows, and this originally energetic young man was completely worn out and no longer recognizable as a human being!

I have to say that if people are free from restraints, they will definitely lose their humanity and can no longer be called human beings. They are even worse than animals.

Shang Tianbao, who was originally a good person, is completely ruined!!!
During these three days, the Shang family has been sending people to DJ County, wanting to bring Shang Tianbao back to Bingcheng, and the people who come are of higher level each time.

But there is a saying that goes, "A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake."

What's more, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai and others cannot be considered snakes at all. To be precise, they should be considered tigers, and sitting tigers with wings.

There is a saying that goes "like adding wings to a tiger", which means that if the king of beasts, the tiger, grows wings, it will be invincible. Therefore, you can imagine how the two gangs will fight.

So all those who came, without exception, returned empty-handed.

As these people returned empty-handed, the conflict between the two local groups escalated directly. Except for not using force, all kinds of overt and covert tactics were used.

This can be seen from the frequent personnel changes in various departments.

As for Sun Xianghuo, he has become the first batch of cannon fodder and has returned to Ice City to be investigated by Shen. It is definitely difficult for him to make a comeback. As for whether he can remain intact, it all depends on God's will.

But there is also good news, that is, the person who will replace Sun Xianghuo is Wang An’s sworn sister, Comrade Zhang Shuya.

With Ice City boss Zhang Siyuan keeping an eye on her, Zhang Shuya's position was very secure.

Another thing is that although Sun Xianghuo was dismissed, his daughter, the beautiful Sun Nian, was not implicated because she was protected by her good sister Zhang Shuya. However, in order to avoid being affected by the war again, Zhang Shuya asked her father Zhang Siyuan for help and transferred Sun Nian from Bingcheng to DJ County.

It can be seen that Sun Nian, the originally carefree beauty, has become much more haggard because of the sudden change in her father's life. She even looks like a "sick beauty".

Of course, no matter what changes happen in the outside world, they will not affect Wang An who is in the deep mountains and forests.

After so many days of drying, the beams of Wang An’s house can finally be put up.

Putting up the beam means putting the triangular beam on the roof.

Therefore, Wang Dazhu also found a Feng Shui master to calculate the auspicious time for raising the beam, and this auspicious time was set at the morning hour, which is between 9 and 11 in the morning.

So just after 9 o'clock, Wang An, Wang Li, Mu Xueli and others lit the firecrackers they had prepared in advance in the corners of each house.

When building a house in Heilongjiang Province, putting up the beam is different from starting construction. When starting construction, both small whips and double-kick firecrackers are set off, and ma lei can also be set off.

But when raising the beam, no firecrackers or thunder bombs are set off, only double-kick firecrackers.

Because the upper beam is pointing upwards, setting off firecrackers on the ground has a bad meaning.

Of course, these are all superstitious statements, and many people do not believe so.

Because the purpose of setting off firecrackers is to hear the noise and to bring good luck, and there is no direct connection between setting off firecrackers and building a house.

After the firecrackers went off, a group of people lifted up a large rack and walked towards the house.

When they reached the base of the wall of the house, five or six people each used a pole about 3.5 meters long to lift one end of the triangular beam up into the air.

Then, the person standing on the wall used both hands to help move the triangular beam upwards.

After the triangular beam was inserted into the wall, the people standing inside the wall also used a pole about 3.5 meters long to move towards the north wall.

Soon, with the joint efforts of everyone, the two ends of the triangular beam were placed on the north-south beams of the house.

At this step, another very important thing has to be done compared to building a house, which is to hang up big money, chopsticks and red cloth.

In the local area, a string of copper coins is cut into pieces and tied together one by one with a red rope. On top of the copper coins is a pair of brand new chopsticks, but the pair of chopsticks are tied together in the shape of a "cross", and on top of the chopsticks is a piece of red cloth.

Of course, there is a reason for tying it this way. This string of copper coins and chopsticks symbolizes Taigong's coffin. Hanging it on the beam can ward off disasters and evil spirits and pray for peace.

It is worth noting that there is a story behind the big coins used. Generally, people use big coins with names like "Qianlong" and "Jiaqing" which have good meanings. Basically no one uses big coins with names like "Kangxi" and "Daoguang" which sound unlucky.

However, these copper coins were useless for Wang An and Mu Xueqing's house because Wang An used "Kaiyuan Tongbao".

The main reason is that Wang An feels that his rebirth is a first-of-its-kind event in the world, and as his daughter-in-law, Mu Xueqing must follow her husband's lead!
