Chapter 67 Snake disaster
There was only an Eight Immortals Table at home, and Zhang Yaohua put an old newspaper on it, which was taken by Zhang Youping from Zhang Dechun's house. Zhang Dechun was the village party secretary, and the only newspaper ordered in the village, Zijiang Daily, was basically the newspaper ordered by Zhang Dechun. In this era, many things were packaged mainly with paper. The paper of newspapers was much better than straw paper. Therefore, everyone liked to use old newspapers to wrap things. Liu Qiaoye also asked Zhang Youping to go to Zhang Dechun's house to ask for a few newspapers and put them at home to wrap things.
The Eight Immortals table is very tall and is equipped with four benches. Zhang Qiaohua is considered a medium-sized person in the first grade. She barely exposed her head in front of the Eight Immortals table. If she wants to draw talismans on the table, she naturally has a very low height. Zhang Qiaohua could only climb onto the stool, kneel on the bench, stick out her butt and lie on the table.
Zhang Youping and his wife came back from outside and couldn't help but giggle when they looked at Zhang Yaohua's funny look.
Zhang Yaohua heard her parents' laughter and looked back.
"Zizi, what are you doing?" Zhang Youping put down the farm tools in his hand and walked over. Liu Qiaoye went busy doing housework.
"I drew an Anzhai Talisman in the school today and sold it to Teacher Gong. Look, he gave him five dollars." Zhang Jiaohua took out a wrinkled banknote from his pocket.
"You kid, how can you ask the teacher for money? If he wants your talisman, just give it to him." Zhang Youping smiled bitterly and patted the baby's head.
"Didn't you say that these things are so expensive?" Zhang Yaohua grabbed his head.
"It's so expensive. But you can't ask the teacher for money," said Zhang Youping.
"But the old Taoist priest said that we, Meishan Navy Master, cannot work for others for nothing. Otherwise, others will be despised by us. The master also said that we should be filial to our parents, respect our teachers, and support our family. We should pay attention to saving money in our daily lives." Zhang Yaohua had experienced a lot with the old Taoist priest in her dream.
When Zhang Youping heard the words to support his family, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Liu Qiaoye, who was busy in another room, also giggled. She kept listening to the little girl carefully.
Zhang Jiaohua ignored his parents and laughed at him. He drew talismans seriously. The figures of An Zhai Tao are very complicated. If you are a little careless, you will draw the rune incorrectly. In the dream, when Zhang Jiaohua painted the talisman, he was beaten a lot. The more he beaten, the more painful he was, the deeper his memory. Zhang Jiaohua didn't understand why he was beaten so hard in his dream that he could remember it.
"Baby, I'll give the five dollars back to the teacher tomorrow. How can we ask for the teacher's money? By the way, I don't know what's going on today. Everyone said that you see snakes everywhere, so be careful when you go outside. Pay attention to snakes." Zhang Youping reminded.
At this time, snakes are less and less active, and it is difficult to encounter snakes in the wild. But today there are some abnormalities. The snake that should have been hiding has actually come out.
When Zhang Yaohua heard his father's words, she felt clever in her heart, "It was not caused by what happened this morning, right?"
Zhang Youping stood by the Eight Immortals table and watched Zaizi carefully mix raw materials such as cinnabar into talisman ink, and then drew a very complex and extremely mysterious rune on the yellow paper.
Draw an Anzhai Talisman and paint a beggar for 40 or 50 minutes. After drawing it, you have to recite a spell to activate the Anzhai Talisman. Then fold it into a triangle and press it under the incense burner on the shrine.
At first, Zhang Youping was a little skeptical about whether the Anzhai Talisman drawn by Zaizai was useful. After all, although Zaizai really understood the magic of a navy master, his Taoist practice should not be much higher. However, after Zaizai put the Anzhai Talisman, he suddenly felt a very at ease in his heart. Zhang Youping didn't know if this was his illusion.
In this era, although there were electric lights, most people in Meiziao still followed the life rules of working from sunrise to sunset. By the time it was time to get dark, and the lights were on in the village except for the TV homes. Other farmers either watched TV at other people's homes or turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed. Because the baby was not favored by the villagers, Zhang Youping and his wife never took the baby to other people's homes to watch TV. The family had saved some money and were planning to buy a TV during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Yaohua didn't listen to the class much at school, and didn't know that she had homework after class. So there was nothing to do when she got home. After drawing a talisman, she felt a little tired. She took a hot shower, climbed onto the bed and went to bed.
This evening was really a little nervous for Gong Ziyuan. In the afternoon, he saw snakes densely under the corners of the school walls, Gong Ziyuan was in a bad mood. He was worried that he had not followed Zhang Shunlin's advice in the afternoon and stayed at their house for one night.
But it was strange that since he entered the room, his heart became much quieter. After checking the room carefully, he looked at whether there were any snakes in the room, and then he leaned on the bed frame and read it. I don’t know if his sleep is not very good recently. Gong Ziyuan felt a little sleepy after reading the book for a while. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Early in the morning, the roosters in Meiziao began to crow, announcing the beginning of Meiziao's new day. However, on this day, the atmosphere in Meiziao was a little different from usual.
Because the house was burned, the mute family kept huddling in the old house with their grandparents. Early in the morning, Ma Jinxiu got up to do housework. However, as soon as she walked into the pigpen in the backyard, Ma Jinxiu screamed with high-pitched shells.
"Snake! Snake!"
When Ma Jinxiu stepped into the pigpen, she found several snakes hanging on the citron house of the pigpen. Ma Jinxiu almost met the closest snake. She just glanced around the pigpen and found several snakes. Ma Jinxiu quickly retreated from the pigpen. However, she found that her legs were weak and she sat on the ground.
Zhang Benrui hurriedly walked out, "What's going on? What's going on? Woman, what happened?"
Ma Jinxiu's face turned pale and could not say a word. She pointed into the pigpen with her hand.
Zhang Benrui was about to walk into the pigpen, but Ma Jinxiu hugged her legs, "Don't go, don't go, snakes, so many snakes!"
Zhang Benrui quickly stopped and looked through the crack in the door. Oh! There was indeed a snake hanging in the pigpen and he was spitting a letter to the door.
Zhang Shunlin was also scared when he was in the school vegetable field in the afternoon and didn't fall asleep all night. In the early morning, he closed his eyes a little. Who knew that when the chickens crowed in the morning, he heard a sudden sound from the bed. He quickly got up and found a flashlight to shine on the bed, almost scared. A black-snake with a thumb-sized thumb was found on the bed.
