Chapter 91: The Pig Butcher
It would be seven days before Master would take me to Grandma Feng's house again. What should we do in the next few days? Just when I was about to ask Master, Master had already pulled me into a minibus.
.
This car was bound for Damu Township. My master said that the group of tomb robbers had stolen an ancient tomb in Damu Township, so they were caught. Therefore, my master wanted to take me to see Lu Gang before he came back.
, investigate the situation.
The county seat is not very far from Damu Township. It takes more than three hours to drive there. After getting off the bus, I took a motorcycle ride with my master and rode for more than half an hour until we arrived at a village.
My master took me around the village for a while. It was already noon, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Master, I'm hungry." I said.
"If you're hungry, just look for something to eat." After my master said that, he took me to the yard of a house. The other houses in the village were all made of earthen walls, and this house only had two floors.
A brick house on the first floor. In other words, not surprisingly, this family should be the richest in the village.
My master told me that whether you want to eat or get information, you have to find a family that looks richer. After all, compared to the poor, the food of rich families is definitely better, and generally speaking
, rich people are better informed than poor people.
As soon as we entered the courtyard of that house, a rather fierce-looking man came out.
"Is something wrong with you?" the big man asked.
"We're fine, but you must be having some trouble lately, right?" My master stroked his beard with his hand, pretending to be an expert, and said.
As soon as my master finished speaking, the big man's eyes widened immediately and he asked: "What's wrong?"
It seems that my master was right. Something must have happened in this big man's family recently, otherwise he would not ask my master so eagerly.
"There have been too many killings. There must be two or three thousand lives lost in your hands, right?" my master said.
In fact, when my master and I were wandering around the village before, he had inquired about this big man named Jiang Damang, and he was a pig butcher. Jiang Damang had been a pig butcher for almost ten years, and he killed almost two pigs a year.
More than a hundred pigs, which is more than 2,000 pigs in ten years. So? It’s not that my master is so miraculous, but that he has already learned this information before.
However, what my master said really frightened Jiang Damang.
"Master, please come in quickly! Please come in quickly!" Jiang Damang respectfully welcomed my master and me in and ordered his wife to make tea.
"Have you lost money recently?" My master asked Jiang Damang directly without going around in circles.
As soon as my master said this, Jiang Damang was shocked.
"How does Master know?" Jiang Damang asked.
"It would be strange not to get money on credit after taking ill-gotten wealth!" said my master.
What my master said confused me, but Jiang Damang seemed to understand it very clearly. The two of them felt like they were working underground. After listening to their conversation, I finally
clear.
It turned out that Jiang Damang was related to the group of tomb robbers, but Jiang Damang did not participate in the tomb robbers. He only accepted a small amount of money from the group of tomb robbers and gave them a ride.
That group of tomb robbers robbed the tomb of a scholar from the Chongzhen period. There were many good things in the tomb, but there was also a fierce ghost guarding it.
Among the group of tomb robbers was Taoist priest Xue. Taoist priest Xue was a half-baked Taoist priest. He could not control the evil spirit. However, Taoist priest Xue was not incompetent at all. He knew that as long as he found a fierce butcher to help him, he would
Then he could lead the group of tomb robbers to escape smoothly after robbing the tomb. Therefore, he set his sights on Jiang Damang.
A pig butcher like Jiang Damang has a very strong evil spirit and can suppress evil spirits.
What Taoist Xue wanted Jiang Damang to do was very simple. After they finished robbing the tomb, he asked Jiang Damang to follow them and send them to the Guanyin Temple ten miles away. The Guanyin Temple was an ancient temple, so the devil
Don't dare to get close.
Of course, Taoist Xue did not tell Jiang Damang about the tomb robbery, let alone about Li Gui. He just asked Jiang Damang to lead the way.
Jiang DaMang had guessed that DaoZhang Xue had robbed the tomb, but he didn't clarify it. After all, knowing too much about this kind of thing was not good. Jiang DaMang always thought that DaoZhang Xue came to him because he thought he was brave.
And I know the road well.
As for Jiang Damang, he just wanted to make a little money through this, so he was satisfied and didn't think much about it. In other words, Jiang Damang didn't know anything about Li Gui.
The reason why the evil ghost is called the evil ghost is because it can harm people. Originally, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. According to common sense, the tomb robbers were Taoist Master Xue and his group. If the evil ghost wants to cause trouble, he should go to them. However,
Jiang Damang suddenly made such an intrusion that the evil ghost mistakenly thought that he and the group of tomb robbers were in the same group, so he stalked him first.
To investigate, Jiang Damang was entangled by the devil, firstly because he was greedy for petty gains, and secondly, because Taoist Master Xue deliberately set a trap for him.
Taoist priest Xue knew very well that after the evil ghost chased him out of the tomb, he was stopped by the pig butcher Jiang Damang and Taoist priest Xue did the same. He did not dare to get close. However, the evil ghost would not give up and would follow him from a distance. After arriving at Guanyin Temple,
, Taoist priest Xue and his gang hid in the temple, while Jiang Damang returned alone.
Guanyin Temple is an ancient temple, and the evil ghost did not dare to approach it, so it was impossible for it to enter. Therefore, when Jiang Damang returned alone, it chose to follow Jiang Damang back home.
This fierce ghost came out of the tomb of a scholar. Therefore, although he is an evil ghost, he is also the kind of person who is knowledgeable and reasonable.
Dao Zhang Xue and his group only stole the property from the tomb. Therefore, after this evil spirit arrived at Jiang Damang's home, he did not harm anyone. He just tried to make Jiang Damang lose money.
Take two days ago, for example, Jiang Damang killed a pig and sold it on the farm. The pig was obviously killed in the morning, but after getting it to the farm, the fresh pork turned smelly. You know, this
But it was winter! The time from killing the pig to transporting it to the farm was only two hours!
The pork was smelly, so of course it couldn't be sold anymore. In this way, Jiang Damang lost a pig in vain.
That pig weighed more than two hundred kilograms and was worth five or six hundred yuan! It was gone for nothing. For such a pig alone, Jiang Damang could barely bear it and attributed it to luck.
However, the day after the pork turned smelly, that is, the day before yesterday, Jiang Damang's ancestral blue and white porcelain vase that was placed in the cabinet cracked for no reason and turned into a pile of fragments. You know, that blue and white porcelain vase
But a family heirloom! It’s worth tens of thousands! If it’s broken, it’s worthless.
After these two incidents happened, Jiang Damang did not dare to kill pigs anymore because he was afraid that after killing the pigs, the pork would become smelly. Therefore, Jiang Damang stayed at home these two days.
Yesterday, something happened at Jiang Damang's house, but it wasn't a big deal. The cupboard in the kitchen suddenly fell over, but no one was hit, but the bowls inside were smashed to pieces.
This morning, the black and white TV newly bought by Jiang Damang's family suddenly erupted with black smoke from behind and ignited without turning it on. In short, since the pork turned smelly, Jiang Damang's family had to give up their wealth every day.
After understanding the situation, my master told Jiang Damang that the evil ghost was now at his home. Because the things in the tomb were stolen, the evil ghost was resentful. Therefore, as long as the evil ghost did not leave, it would cause destruction every day.
Jiang Damang's family always gives up their wealth every day.
Of course, since my master is here, he will definitely be able to solve this problem. However, if you want to solve this problem, you must first go to the stolen tomb.
It was already noon. At this time, Jiang Damang's wife had already prepared the meal and was shouting for dinner. Jiang Damang knew that my master and I must not have eaten yet, so he asked us to finish the meal first.
Chapter completed!
