Chapter 137 Fu Luo Zhou's Eight Fingers

Qiu Laosan went back to the kitchen to get me the bowls and chopsticks for breakfast. He had just walked out of the kitchen door, and when he heard what I said, he was surprised and dropped the bowls in his hands to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.

Mrs. Qiu heard the noise, walked out of the hall and saw the broken bowl at the door of the kitchen, and scolded Qiu Laosan, who was in his thirties, for breaking the bowl like a child.

I asked Qiu Laosan why he had such a big reaction. I knew about the old house. Someone demolished it during the period of the Fourth Old House.However, it is said that when it was about to be demolished, two bricks fell from the roof, killing two people on the spot, and then nothing happened.

Qiu Laosan was cleaning up broken bowls, and when I said that I knew that the old house had killed two people who wanted to demolish it, I couldn't help wiping off my sweat.

He said: "Since you know about this, you dare to demolish it. Even if you dare to demolish it, he can't find anyone who dares to demolish it with you. No one is afraid of death!"

After Mr. Qiu cleaned up the broken bowl fragments on the ground, he asked me how I knew that the old house had killed two people who demolished it.

I smiled and said that Taigong Qiu told me.

Qiu Laosan asked which Qiu Taigong.

I told him that the grandson who was the leader of Wuzhou Bank smoked and bragged under the big banyan tree every day.

"Oh! It turned out to be Uncle Nine. He was the production team leader of the village back then! I was seven years old at the time, so I had a little impression." Laosan Qiu had a sudden understanding expression.

I took Qiu Laosan back to the kitchen and told me that Qiu Laosan told me that it was around 66, when the strong wind of eradicating the four pests across the country had just passed.Under the call of the Central Committee of the Party, a campaign to destroy old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits was launched, and the whole country mobilized spontaneously.

The production team leader at that time was Jiu Shugong (Qiu Taigong). He brought more than a dozen people to demolish the old house. The tiles were removed first. They moved two long ladders and put them on the roof of the old house.Two young and energetic youngsters volunteered to be the first to climb the ladder, but just halfway up, two bricks flew down from the roof, smashing the heads of the two youngsters, and they died there on the spot.

Qiu Laosan said that when he was playing outside the old house with his cousin, he saw the person being carried out, with brains and blood dripping all the way, which became the shadow of his childhood, and he had nightmares for several years in a row.

Although what Qiu Laosan said is scary, I guess there may be some magic circles in it, and anyone who tries to destroy it will activate the magic circles.To demolish the old house, one must find out the magic circle, then crack it, then demolish the house and dig the foundation, and reveal all the secrets behind it in the sun.

After thinking about it, I told Qiu Laosan that I must dismantle it and use explosives to blow it up.

At this time, a voice sounded from outside the kitchen, and he said, "If you want to dismantle it, you can go and ask Fu Luo Zhou Bazhi to take a look!"

As soon as he heard the sound, Qiu Laosan immediately walked out of the kitchen, greeted the man, and said, second brother, why are you here.

It turned out that the person who came was Qiu Laosan's cousin. His house was the best in the village, so he should be a talkative person in the village, a role model for women in the village to educate their husbands.

I immediately went out and politely called my second uncle.

Third cousin Qiu is nearly forty years old and still wears a pair of glasses. He answered when I called him, then looked me up and down, and said that he can be a gentleman at this age, which is really rare!
I smiled embarrassedly and asked him who Fu Luo Zhou Bazhi was.

Brother Qiu Laosan said that Zhou Bazhi is an expert in Fengshui. His family lives in Fuluo Town next door. Because he only has eight fingers, everyone who knows him calls him Zhou Bazhi. As for his original name But few people know.

I asked Qiu's third cousin if he thought there was something wrong with the old house's feng shui.

Brother Qiu Laosan smiled and said that he had only heard of some of them, and told me not to laugh at him.

I said no way, I don't know as much as you, so I am not qualified to laugh at you!
Qiu Lao San asked us to enter the house and talk slowly. He re-fried a few dishes, and then went back to the hall to clean up the table. The neighbors ran out the door.

Brother Qiu Laosan invited me into the house and sat down, saying that the old house should be built on the location of the dragon head of the Earth Sha.But when the earth demon became stronger, no matter how hard a person's life was, they couldn't overcome it, so the old landlord's family was ruined.

I nodded half understanding, pretending to understand everything, so as to give people a high-level feeling.

I asked Qiu Lao San cousin if he also supported me to tear down the old house.

Brother Qiu's third cousin patted his thigh and said, why don't you support it, 1 support it!The haunted old house has been the shadow of generations in the village, who wouldn't want to tear it down!But no one dared to do it all these years, it was just an idea in my heart, and now there is a gentleman who takes the lead in demolishing it, and he must agree.

Third cousin Qiu paused for a moment and then said that his wife changed when she was frightened by the hanged ghost back then. She dared not turn off the lights when she slept at night, saying that the appearance of the hanged ghost would appear in front of her when the lights were turned off.You said that if the lights are not turned off this year, the electricity bill alone will cost him a lot of money.So before I turned [-], I slept in separate beds with my wife.It would be embarrassing to say such a thing, and he had a lot of quarrels with his wife because of this.Afterwards, I didn’t care about the noise anymore, and only relied on the unrealistic fantasy that the old house would suddenly collapse one day when it was windy and rainy.

I asked Brother Qiu Laosan and said that's why you came to me.

Third cousin Qiu nodded, and said that he wanted to show me to his wife, but he didn't expect to hear me talk about tearing down the old house as soon as he came to the door, and he was very happy immediately.Brother Qiu Laosan thought that the root of the disaster was the old house, and that the lingering ghosts of the hanged ghosts were also a Feng Shui problem in the old house, so demolishing the old house would solve the problem.

As we talked, Qiu Laosan brought out a plate of fried bacon with peas, and soon after, he brought out a plate of sauerkraut and pig intestines. When I smelled the smell, I wanted to catch it with my hands and eat it on the spot.It's a pity that this is not at home, so I can only wait for Qiu Laosan to take out the bowl and chopsticks, and then pretend to eat politely.

As soon as I put a piece of bacon into my mouth, Qiu Laosan and his cousin started to say again, please come and see Fu Luo Zhou Bazhi, so that I can know where to start when demolishing a house, what to do and what not to do .

I put another piece of sour large sausage into my mouth, chewed it and said to him, wouldn’t it be enough to just blow it up with dynamite? Do I still plan to let people go up to the roof and take it down like in the 60s?Drill holes outside the four corners, then stuff explosives in and detonate, the house will naturally collapse, and then people will go up to dig up the ruins.

Brother Qiu Laosan waved his hand and said that would not work. If explosives were used to blow up, either the explosives might fail, or the person who fired the explosives would not be able to escape and be killed. These accidents may happen, but it is impossible to blow them up smoothly. Yes, so I still have to ask Zhou Bazhi to take a look.

When I thought about it, what he said really made sense. Maybe the explosives would explode automatically when we got close to the old house. Who can guarantee that this is not possible!

I asked Brother Qiu, the third cousin, when do you plan to invite Zhou Bazhi, and how far is it from here to Fuluo Town? Your Zhaoping County is a bit bigger, and it will take a few hours from Ma Jiang to Huangyao by car!
Third cousin Qiu said it was not far away, so he took me there after dinner. This old house must be demolished, and he has been thinking about it for several years.

As we talked, we finished our breakfast. Old third cousin Qiu went home to bring something. I went back to Sangu Village and told Sangu that I was going to Fuluo, and I might not be back tonight. Let’s have dinner do not wait for me.

The third aunt said I got it, and asked me to drive carefully. Before I left, I told Ye Feiji that the dog tooth would continue to be taken by the third aunt until I came back to tear down the old house.

Ye Feiji said I got it, and then I drove out the door. Third cousin Qiu was already waiting at the intersection. My car stopped in front of him. Third cousin Qiu said that I didn't know the way to Fuluo, so Let him drive the car, so I sat in the back seat.

The car drove for about an hour, and the third cousin Qiu said that this is Fuluo, and after driving for more than ten minutes, he arrived at Zhou Bazhi's village.However, Zhou Bazhi is a very busy person. He often goes around to show people Feng Shui. He is only at home ten days a month. We are going to look for him. Whether he is at home or not depends on luck!
We stopped in Fuluo Town to buy some things, and of course a chicken was indispensable. Back then, when visiting relatives in rural areas, it was a very honorable thing to be able to bring a chicken, just like bringing Maotai today.

After buying something, he started the car again, and after walking for more than five minutes, he stopped at the door of a house on the side of the road. The third cousin Qiu said that this is Zhou Bazhi's home.

I jumped out of the car, walked to the gate of the fence and looked in. The gate inside was closed, and it seemed that no one was at home. It seemed that we were not very lucky.

After the third cousin Qiu parked the car, he came over and looked in, and then shouted loudly, "Myna! Is myna at home?"

His yelling really worked. As soon as the door of the room was opened, a middle-aged woman's head stuck out. Seeing that it was us yelling, I hurriedly asked if it was for Bazhi?

Third cousin Qiu said yes, we came from Majiang, is myna at home?

The woman immediately came out to open the door and invited us into the room. After pouring tea, she said that Zhou Bazhi had gone to Beituo yesterday, and someone asked him to find a good piece of land.

When I heard the news, I glanced at Brother Qiu's third cousin, and he immediately asked the woman, when will my starling be back, and I need to find him for urgent matters!
During our trip, Zhou Bazhi was not at home. It was very troublesome. We couldn’t take things back with us when we bought them.

Seeing our questioning, the woman squinted her eyes and smiled and said that it will be soon. When he went yesterday, he said that he would be back this afternoon. It is already one o'clock at noon, and it should be almost an hour after we have dinner.
