Chinese Almanac Master
Chapter 51
The middle-aged man, Li Zhonglin, who came to the door alone with a strange box, as Xiao Nan Candlestick initially speculated, was truly a distinguished figure who was so big that Xiaonan Candlestick was a little incredible.
After all, it didn't seem like he was at the top of his ranks to begin to see this man's lame demeanor, but after seeing his card handed to him, Xiao Nan Candle remembered who he really was. As an uninteresting man who only occasionally watches military shows, he never noticed that this government leader appeared on the city's news every time a convention was held, but since the precious women he met at Mrs. Wang Li's had added his WeChat, he has often shared in the circle of friends some gossip that their superiors knew about, Xiao Nan Candle was dragged into a group because he talked to them more often, and recently he has seen these politicians' wives go online every day with the most brushed screen about Mayor Li's family.
First the wife dies, then the only little daughter dies, obviously the Mayor Li is good in style and performance, but this new year has just begun, he is as bad luck as anything.
As the mayor of the city of y has been in office for almost five years, he is actually ready to take up his post in the province. Yet it was at this juncture that such a chain of things happened to him, which had to be worried about his situation today.
As the person facing Mayor Li at this moment, Xiao Nan candle couldn't help but let Spring serve him a little pressurized Fuze tea after watching him slurp incessantly. Drinking this Fuze tea was finally restoring some Weekday look of Mayor Li Zhonglin first coughed violently, and turned to the exhausting flushing Xiaonan candle opening,
“I'm sorry... I just lost my mind, I've been insomniac for half a month, I've been taking medication, and I've seen a psychiatrist twice recently... In fact, you were recommended to me by my secretary here, and I didn't believe it at first, but I also heard something about the Binjiang Bridge, just because this kind of divine ghost thing can't always be put on the bright side, it doesn't matter... but when I saw the final investigation given by the City Public Security Bureau, I also believed that you were truly divine... because I didn't dare to ask anyone else to ask about it, so I had to come here personally. Plus this is not only about me, but also about the safety of y city, so anyway, please give me a face to help solve this problem..."
In this way, the divine color turned a little heavier. Xiao Nan candle did not expect such a matter that originally seemed to involve the yin and privacy of the house to be so complicated, so the expression was a little confused, but the official's words were different, a few words involved what y city was in danger, sounded strangely frightening, so after turning his gaze to the black box on the coffee table, Xiao Nan candle picked up the eyebrows, and did not hide what he already knew, only knocked his fingers on the black box before opening the mouth,
“I'm everything, Mayor Lee. If you find me, you should trust me, but first you have to tell me, what the hell is this? ”
His problem made Li Zhonglin's face white, seemed to think of something terrible. He didn't say anything for half a day. He happened to be lying on Xiao Nan's candle knee and making a scene. Xiao Nan's candle lowered his head and rubbed the little girl's head with a frown. After subconsciously looking at this young, green, extraordinarily cute and childish girl, Li Zhonglin's face flashed a little bit of abhorrence first, then he spoke quietly.
“To be honest, it's filled with... too old...”
Li Zhonglin's words fell and Xiaonan Candle and Chun Fen raised their heads subconsciously. Maybe they could see that they obviously knew what this was, so Li Zhonglin's mood was getting more complicated. But when it came to this, everything was to blame for his self-righteousness. Getting into this situation was all the more blameworthy, so now he was trembling with red eyes and opening his mouth.
“It was all my stupidity... it caused my wife to hurt my daughter too, I only heard that it was a precious thing to eat without illness and disaster, but I didn't know that offending it was a big taboo, and then I had to pay a hundred times more to return it... Now I can't send it away, I really don't know what to do to find you...”
Li Zhonglin's words made Xiaonan candle whisper the corner of his mouth. After hearing the words "too old", his face has not been very good. After all, if he commits an unusual evil, he can still do it. But this too old is not unusual. He really doesn't know how to go back at this time. Spring also seems to be scared by the words "too old". He fell directly to Xiaonan candle's ear and whispered.
“Master, this is too old, but it's always nine deaths and a lifetime. Let me report the weather forecast. This kind of evil... me... I'm scared...”
Spring's words are not exaggerated. Xiao Nan candle moved his hand away from the black box. It also seemed afraid of committing the taboo of being too old in the box, but this man begged himself, he naturally had to give the poor Mayor Li a thought, and after subconsciously recalling the legend about the offender too old, Xiao Nan candle finally understood why this Mayor Li had been so unlucky before.
Too old, also known as the age star. Old stories often talk about unfavourable criminals too old. That's what this is about. There are a lot of statements about this kind of thing. Zero sums it all up. Now we don't know which ones are true or false, but as Xiao Nan Candle knows, there are only two kinds of statements about too old in the past dynasty.
The first is to say that it is a fierce star in heaven, but after the scourge of war, it will appear in an unknown form in one place. Because of its peculiar form, it is said to have eaten the effect of returning to life and immortality, but any excavation at too old will be valuable and will lead to competition. Some say Mercy Jubilee, Hung/Xiu/Quan and Yuan Shikai have eaten this food, because of the war to humiliate China, the stars appeared three times in just a few decades.
Mercy Jubilee is naturally able to taste this rarity because they are at the top of the royal power, and the relative Hung Xiuquan and Yuan Shikai are in possession of absolute rights at different times. Many strange novels of late Qing Dynasty recorded the way the old Buddha, who lived a luxurious life, consumed it when he was too old, said that every piece of meat was alive and would bleed after cutting it alive, because he had to eat the freshest bite, so he had to personally pass the knife in front of the old Buddha every time.
When Hung Xiu became the Emperor, he heard this statement, and let the people under him go everywhere to find this too old to live in youth, but when he found it, his righteous brother Wang Shi Dakai ate too old first, and the end result was that Hung Xiu, who pursued Evergreen, personally lived Shi Dakai, and ate more than 3,000 pieces of flesh and blood on his body.
Most of these stories sound a little odd. After all, if too old to really be useful and unreasonable, Hung Xiuquan, Mercy can't end well, but there is also a statement that Xiaonan Candle feels more reliable, because the reference to too old in this statement is precisely the disaster itself.
Whoever takes away too many years old has taken away the scourge, because people often eat too many years of age in their quest for efficacy, at this time too old will be angry, and in contrast it will cultivate the scourge, because its flesh is supposed to eat the most irreplaceable human blood repair, so it loses how much flesh, it will multiply by hundreds of times, and it will not leave until it recovers its wounds, and the next time it is excavated, it will fall into a new vicious circle.
As such, Xiao Nan's candles couldn't help but get cold for a while. Before that, those evil words could be solved by violence. But at this age, he really didn't dare to do it. After all, it was a small thing to get himself into trouble. As Li Zhonglin said, it was a sin to have the whole city of Y people follow him to bury him, and Li Zhonglin seemed to see him without saying anything. I thought he was hesitant, so I hurried to say something.
“I also asked a lot of people this time, some of them are casual, some things are cheating on money, anyway, none of them can come up with the real thing... Although I have been in important positions for many years, honestly saving is not much, but as long as you offer a price, I am willing to sell real estate cars...”
This attitude of Li Zhonglin made Xiaonan candle difficult to say anything for a while. After all, this Mayor Li seemed quite fortunate. However, a little blue under his nose heralded the fate of the family. Otherwise, he had no alcohol or colour. Wanted without greed, he is a truly decent man.
Such a person, he must not have encountered such a thing because of himself, saying that his life is not very good, but it is more appropriate to say that this is really too old Xiao Nan candle has actually seen, Fang flat he doesn't know, Li Zhonglin now says that this is too old, maybe this is what he bought from Taobao online mess, and he looked at this case with the unlucky age star in front of himself, Xiao Nan candle twisted his eyebrow rubbed his forehead, suddenly reached out his hand to drag the box that had always been in front of him, then opened the lock with the button.
“Careful, master!! I... I'll protect you!! ”
Spring split sight screamed in front of Xiao Nan candle, Xiao Nan candle left her unwilling to let her escape. Li Zhonglin saw the box was about to open and looked miserable. After Xiao Nan candle carefully opened a stitch, what he saw was a grey-haired sarcoma-like object shrunk into the box in a slightly breathing state, and there was obviously an unhealed wound on its skin tissue surface.
“I let my daughter eat that piece... I thought it would cure her illness, but she's still gone... she's only so small, she's not well since she was a child, the doctor said she only has six months to live, but my wife and I don't believe it... I obviously want her to be healthy to feed her, but she doesn't even have the time to be with us at the end of the day... my being a father really deserves to die...”
Biting his teeth like this, Li Zhonglin stared red-handedly at that motionless, all too old for snow white, seemed to cry at any time, and looked at this because of the confusion/folk bias to lose his beloved daughter's father, Xiao Nan Candle did not say any pale and empty comfort, only to re-buckle the box, and then shivered the smoke in his hand, which made the voice open,
“Where did you get this? And who told you it was too old? ”
After listening to this, the color changed. Li Zhonglin carefully sorted out the language and began to talk to Xiaonan Candle about the origin of all this for a while. After listening to his story, Xiaonan Candle also understood how the real age of the goods in this box came.
Li Zhonglin is the mayor of y and used to come from the grass-roots level. Because he is clean and decent, it is difficult for some people to impress him through financial aspects, but he has no other weaknesses in his life. His only daughter's health has always been poor. Many people who know the inside want to start with this aspect, but it is also always useless. Because those who have heard about it know that Mayor Li's daughter's illness is terminal. Unless you can ask Mo Hua Xiao to reincarnate to save his daughter, this matter is still in vain. In this case, a businessman in the city found Li Zhonglin for a government project, but also brought an incredible piece of good news for Li Zhonglin.
The businessman, Jiang, used to have an old friend who had a mine in O province. At that time, the mining industry was not up yet, and the man had bought the entire hill for the mountain people to dig, and in a few years, he earned half the money for the future. Because the mountain people were poor, the boss hired all of their little brains at no cost, but one day, when the workers went down, they dug up a strange thing that was all white.
Workers under the mine were shocked when they saw it, but they didn't dare to do anything about it. After all, they often lived in the mountains, and naturally understood that some strange things could not be offended casually. Boss Jiang's friend didn't understand this, so he casually said not to throw it away and called some elderly people in the nearby mountains to see it, and as soon as the local barefoot doctor, almost 80 years old, saw it, he immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed eight heads at the white sarcoma.
A lap of workers were scared by the barefoot doctor to talk, and Mr. Jiang's friends naturally felt strange. When the old man with all the blood on his head started talking shakingly, they finally knew what this strange object was dug out by a shovel.
Miraculous too old, natural disaster stars and supposedly immortal effects. Mr. Jiang's friends fell asleep as soon as they heard it was ridiculous, and he didn't believe in these illiterates who had never read a book and lived in the mountains at all. However, the barefoot doctor's frightened eyes and fake words kept spinning in his ear, so he couldn't sleep well for days after bringing back this white sarcoma. But what happened just a few days later made this man who didn't believe in this kind of thing completely believe in this statement, which also became the root cause of a series of things.
