In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of people suddenly appeared among the people. They traveled all over the country, carrying various knives and whetstones on their backs, and went to villages and towns to shout.
What they have in their hands is not only kitchen knives, but also scissors, hatchets, sickles... Anyway, they carry everything related to knives.
The strange thing is that they only sell their knives on credit, and every time they leave a knife, they will inevitably leave behind some prophecies.
They made an agreement with the buyer that if the prophecy does not come true, the knife will be given to the buyer; but once the prophecy comes true, they will come to collect the money or the benefits originally agreed upon.
There are many types of prophecies. Sometimes they are natural disasters, sometimes they are man-made disasters, but sometimes they are prophecies about getting rich and having children.
This type of person is called among the people - credit knife people!
It is easy to understand what it means to be a knife loaner. The knife they carry is only for credit but not for sale, and the date of credit is also uncertain. When they leave, they will leave behind a prophecy, which is a prophecy spoken by the ancients.
This profession first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and they claimed to be the descendants of Guiguzi. The people initially called them Bu Mai.
Generally speaking, knife dealers belong to folk sects. On the surface, they sell knives, but in fact they are a group of fortune tellers and karma dealers.
Wrong calculation, we will never meet again;
If you calculate it correctly, you will receive the benefits as agreed.
Use your sword to establish trust, and use your trust to walk the road. This is the rule for people who use swords on credit to travel around the world.
When Yan Shou saw the word "credit" on the kitchen knife, he understood the identity of the visitor.
But Long Feicheng didn't understand the meaning of the person who borrowed the knife on credit, and kept chasing Yan Shou with questions. Yan Shou was afraid that he would never finish it, so he explained to him.
After hearing this, Long Feicheng remembered that he had seen someone who borrowed knives on credit when he was a child.
When Yan Shouyi and Ye Chengfu heard this, they asked Long Feicheng to tell them a story about the man who borrowed knives from him when he was a child.
It turns out that when Long Feicheng was a child, he lived in an old alley in Rongcheng. At that time, there could be hundreds of people living in an alley. If something happened to every household, the whole alley would know immediately.
At that time, there was a couple in the same alley. The man was a doctor who ran a clinic, and the woman was a worker in a sewing factory. They had been married for eight years, but they had no children.
Both parties have been examined and both are in excellent health, but no matter what they do, the child will never live or die.
One day, a knife loaner suddenly came and left a pair of scissors. He said that the couple was destined to have a calamity. Before this disaster passed, the Lord of Hell did not dare to let the child be reincarnated into their family. The knife loaner said that the daughter should
The men will stay at home for the next seven days, while the men will not be able to go home for seven days and must stay outside, otherwise they will be infected with evil spirits and cause disaster.
As long as the couple stay apart and don't see each other for these seven days, they can survive this fateful disaster safely, and the child will naturally be born.
The person who borrowed the knife left after saying this, promising to fulfill his promise after seven days.
The couple both wanted a child, and they were also afraid of the disaster that the credit card holder said would come, so the man packed his luggage that night and ran back to his hometown to live.
The first few days were fine and everything was fine, but when the man got home, he always felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
At that time, the common people were no longer very superstitious. In addition, the people in the same village always looked at the man with strange eyes, which made the man even more unbearable.
So on the night of the sixth day, he secretly returned to the city and quietly went to the alley. At least he was satisfied with seeing his wife from a distance.
Hearing this, Yan Shouyi sighed: "Why is there always a male protagonist who seeks death in such stories?"
Ye Chengfu also said: "This man doesn't follow the rules and is asking for trouble!"
Long Feicheng also agreed very much: "Yes, this man is asking for trouble! That night, he quietly returned to the alley, came to the window of his house, climbed up and took a look, and his face turned green with fear, you guys
Do you know what he saw?"
The atmosphere has been aroused, and even Yan Shouyi was curious: "What did he see?"
Long Feicheng slammed the table, startling the two of them:
"The man saw that his wife was fooling around with the knife dealer! In fact, it was not a real knife dealer at all, but his wife's old friend, who deliberately pretended to be the knife dealer and pushed the man away.
It’s so convenient for the two of them to do things! The reason why the man’s fellow villagers looked at him strangely was because they heard some rumors but were too embarrassed to tell him!”
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Ye Chengfu: "..."
I originally thought this was a legendary story about a knife owner, but I didn't expect it to be a story about family ethics.
As expected of you, Long Feicheng!
Yan Shou glared at Long Feicheng: "From now on, if you don't have farts in your stomach, don't stick your fucking butt out, it's a waste of my time!"
Ye Chengfu covered his heart and said: "Don't be surprised next time when you tell a story. I'm old and I can't stand being scared..."
Long Feicheng chuckled, then sighed:
"Later, the man got angry and stabbed the couple to death with the scissors given by the credit card holder. The incident was so big that our neighbors in the alley were so frightened that they moved away.
, and then there were rumors that the newly moved people could always see the lights on in that room in the middle of the night, and some people even heard the screams of men and women."
Now that I think about it, it might be true that those people are trying to confuse ghosts.
Long Feicheng sat back on the chair, leaned forward, and said:
"Brother Yan, why did you think this knife loaner came to us if he had nothing to do?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head: "I don't know either, but the people who borrow swords are the most reasonable people in folk sects. They will not provoke and bully others for no reason. In other words, if this person who borrows swords comes to us, he must be
They have caused cause and effect with us, and they will not let it go until the cause and effect is over."
Ye Chengfu also understood why Luo Ning asked them to come to Yan Shouyi directly after seeing the kitchen knife.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. None of them could deal with this person who borrowed the sword. Only Yan Shouyi returned in person could the matter be solved.
"It's time to eat!"
At this time, Lin Zitong and Jiang Ting came to the courtyard with fragrant meals. Everyone couldn't help but twitch their index fingers when they smelled the aroma.
"What did you talk about?" Lin Zitong asked after sitting down.
Yan Shouyi told Lin Zitong about the knife loaner, and Lin Zitong also realized the seriousness of the matter.
So everyone put it together on the spot and decided to stay at home for the last night tonight, pack up their things early tomorrow morning, and set off back to Rongcheng.
They stayed in Chenjiacun for a month at a stretch, and they were even a little unfamiliar with the people and things in Rongcheng.
But they also understand that Chenjiacun is not their final destination, at least not now. No matter how happy they are in Chenjiacun, they will always return to Rongcheng and face those troublesome things again.
