Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Haunted House in Granary Alley

The drought continued in 1958, there was no rain for several months, and the Haihe River was almost dry. By coincidence, until the 16th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, two corpses were dug up in Sanyi Temple and Wang Chuanchang. Mummy, I don’t know if it’s a drought, but it’s raining heavily anyway, and the work of digging rivers for flood control has stopped. Master Guo asked Ding Mao to find Zhang Banxian and Li Daleng. It happened that his daughter-in-law was not at home. He made dumplings and prepared wine. The three brothers ate dumplings and drank together, and then discussed about finding treasures from the haunted house.

Ever since a fox entered the house and the New Year pictures on the stove were destroyed, Master Guo felt uneasy. Two days ago, he asked someone to draw Zhang Zaowang, and the dumplings were pasted on the stove after making dumplings. The New Year pictures of the Stove Lord always feel that something is missing. When Zhang Banxian heard that he was eating dumplings, he arrived soon. The two sat in front of the stove and chatted. Master Guo didn't mention the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong, he had to wait for Ding Mao and Li Daleng to arrive, cook dumplings before talking about business.

Zhang Banxian caught a glimpse of the Stove Lord's New Year painting, and was startled. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he asked Master Guo, "Why did the Stove Lord change?" Master Guo said: "It's not an old painting. The previous one was pasted for too long and was damaged. I just replaced it with a new one. It's not worth making a fuss about." Zhang Banxian said: "Master Guo, do you know how many days the Stove Prince goes to heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month?" Master Guo said: "You can't ask me about it. Which one of the bungalows doesn't have New Year pictures on the stove, and you don't see people who look up. Home, go back and forth for seven or eight days, maybe seven days or eight days, because there are big and small years in the year, seven days in the small year, and eight days in the new year.”

Zhang Banxian said: "You see, you also know that inviting the Stove Lord must be done according to the date. It is a taboo to invite the Stove God before the New Year's Eve, and your job will be ruined." Master Guo said: "I'm just a fisherman. I deal with floating corpses all day long. It's not a pity to lose my job." Zhang Banxian said: "It's fine if you lose your job. There's no reason to worry about it, but there is another big taboo. I'll ask you again, Mr. Stove. When the Stove Lord goes to heaven, should he go through the front door or the back door?"

Master Guo said: "Banxian, you asked too crookedly, but you stopped me. I don't know whether the Stove Lord will go through the front door or the back door." Zhang Banxian said: "My question is not crooked, it's in the book." Master Guo said: "There is also a basis for this? Then tell me, Lord Stove walks through the front door and the back door?" Zhang Banxian said: "The Stove Lord doesn't leave either door, because there are door gods at the door. The front door is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao holding a double mace, and the back door is Yuchi Jingde holding a copper whip. Since there are front and rear door gods guarding him, then he is not the Stove Lord." On the way to go, the Stove Lord drilled into the hearth of the stove, cremated the green smoke, and went up to the sky along the flue."

Master Guo thought for a moment: "It's really the case. No one can talk about Zhang Banxian for such a mess, but if the Stove Lord doesn't leave the door, what do you want to do with me?" Zhang Banxian said: "The Stove Lord walks through the flue, and the statue in the painting should be facing the flue, but you put the New Year picture crookedly. Isn't this hitting the Kitchen God's head?" Master Guo listened to what Zhang Banxian had said, looked at the painting, it was a bit biased, he couldn't understand what was being said in it, but it must not be a good omen.

Zhang Banxian had already seen the ominous sign just now, and asked Master Guo when he posted the New Year picture. He stepped on the gossip, saw the direction, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to count, and he didn't feel "Ouch". Master Guo and Zhang Banxian were saying that the New Year pictures were not pasted well, and anything out of common sense was not a good sign. Before the words fell to the ground, Ding Mao ran back and told Master Guo: "Something happened to Li Daleng!" Li Daleng once went to the railway station to do transport after liberation. Last year, he worked as a salt worker and boiled salt in Ninghe. The job was not tiring, but he earned a lot of money. After the sea salt was boiled, he put it in sacks and put it in a cart. The place where the salt comes out is of course a saline-alkali land. It’s okay if it doesn’t rain. Let the heavy rain soak it, and the ground will become rice cakes. Step on it and sink. On the same day, a cart carrying salt bags got stuck in the mud. Li Daleng and five Six people were pushing behind, but they couldn't move. Everyone screamed and wanted to push the car out of the mud pit, but the axle was broken, and the cart was pushed back. With his feet stuck in the mud and unable to pull them out, he was directly run over by the wheels and died unexpectedly.

As the saying goes, "Things can be predicted, life and death are unpredictable." Master Guo and Zhang Banxian heard about this, but they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. The brothers have been together these years. What a friendship, Li Da was stunned. One, how do you say that it is gone? The three of them sighed unceasingly, Li Daleng was a bachelor, he had no family and no mouth, so he had to secretly make two confessions in three quarters, and burn more paper money for him. That night, Master Guo and the others were not in the mood to eat dumplings, and they each bowed their heads and drank wine, but the things in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong were not trivial matters, and now that Li Daleng was gone, the three of them had to do it too.

Master Guo sipped cold wine and explained the cause and effect. Baiji, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, picked up city bricks to build a house when the city of Tianjin was demolished in the year of Gengzi. It is said that he hid a very valuable thing in the house, but after decades For a long time, including Bai Sihu, a descendant of the Bai family, no one could find anything in this house. They dug the ground three feet from top to bottom, searched all four walls, and found nothing surprising. Planed adzes and robbed many people, and was arrested and shot in 1954. A female corpse was found from his home, and she was pickled with large salt. After ten years in the house, it did not rot and smell. It is said that it is a haunted house, but the female corpse in the haunted house is not something that the ancestors of the Bai family put in the house. Over the years, there have been many thieves who came to the haunted house to steal treasure, and no one succeeded. Not long ago, there was a man who was not doing business Dawudou, this person is not greedy enough. He went to the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong in the middle of the night. Because he took his life on his body, he returned empty-handed. He was arrested by the police as soon as he got home. I saw a pair of eyes in the haunted house, the size of a tea plate, but after inspection, there was indeed nothing in the house. Either Big Black Dou was a guilty conscience and made a mistake, or he was talking nonsense, in short, no one believed it.

But to this day, Master Guo also believes in this matter. It is likely that the things in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong have been strange for a long time. If they have Taoism, they will attract floods in the future. Such a bizarre thing, the officials don’t care, and the people don’t care. If you tell anyone that no one will believe it, then only Master Guo, Ding Mao, and Zhang Banxian will do it. Zhang Banxian said: "Master Guo, I didn't pour cold water on you. The things in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong have changed like dragons and snakes. They have been practiced for ten thousand years. With the three of us, how can we deal with it?"

Master Guo took out the coffin nails from under the kang and said, "The difficulty lies in not knowing where that thing is. As long as I find it, I can make it never turn over." Zhang Banxian pondered for a while, and said: "Since you have what Guo Ye said, I will help you find out the things hiding in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong." It was cloudy and rainy, from daytime to late at night, the three of them just talked, and they hadn't eaten until midnight, and their stomachs were bulging. Ding Mao went to heat up the cold dumplings, and the three of them ate a few indiscriminately. How to find out what's in the haunted house. Zhang Banxian said: "There is only one ghost in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong. The blame is that there is a treasure in the haunted house, but no one can find it. I heard that Bai Sihu, who planed and robbed, was out of his mind. How did the ancestors of the Bai family bury the treasure in the house? It has been lost in Bai Sihu's life, or maybe it has not been passed down at all." Ding Mao said: "Instead of talking in the vernacular here, why don't I go to the Liangfang Hutong, I have sharp eyes, maybe I can see some clues, and follow the clues to find out what happened to him." Master Guo shook his head and said: "People who go to the haunted house to get the treasure think so, but the two rooms in the Liangfang Hutong are only about to be stripped of the roof and the wall. Everyone has seen everything that needs to be seen, and everyone has looked for everything that needs to be looked for. Now, I don’t know the details, so it’s useless to go again.” Zhang Banxian said: "Master Guo and Master Ding, think about it. The haunted house in Liangfang Hutong is the house of the old shopkeeper of Baiji Coffin Shop. I think that although the business of the Coffin Shop is profitable, it is not as rich as the old Ba family. Besides, Tianjin Wei Lao Even if the Eight Great Families have no treasures handed down from generation to generation, how can he, a coffin seller, have any extraordinary things in his house?" Master Guo said: "The coffin shop is nothing more than selling birthday materials. It is no different from other business shops. If there are many dead people, coffin sellers can also make a fortune. It's hard to say." Ding Mao said: "In the year of Gengzi, Tianjin City was demolished, and the shopkeeper of the coffin shop picked up houses built with city bricks. According to the old people, city bricks are a treasure." Zhang Banxian said: "Otherwise, the city bricks are big and not easy to crack. They are much better than ordinary kiln bricks for building houses, and they can't be washed away by floods. Therefore, the folks say that city bricks are treasures. That's just a metaphor. Is it a treasure?" Ding Mao said: "I really can't think of it. If it is something invisible and intangible, it would be a waste of effort to demolish all the houses in Liangfang Hutong. How could there be such a wicked thing?" Zhang Banxian looked up and thought hard, and said to himself: "What treasure can the old shopkeeper of Baiji Coffin Shop have at home? The haunted house in Liangfang Hutong is an empty house, and the thing is not elsewhere. It is clearly in that room, but it is placed in front of his eyes." No one can see it underneath, so what could it be?" Master Guo is calm and experienced. Although he is a water policeman, he has solved many strange cases in his life. He has a lot of experience. Ding Mao is shrewd and capable. Zhang Banxian, the three of them gathered together are worth half of Zhuge Liang, but from midnight to dawn, no matter how you think about it, they are all in a dead end. Master Guo feels that there is something in Zhang Banxian's words. He knows that this person has a lot of eyes, and he seems to know something. But he was worried about revealing the secret, and pretended to be confused, if Zhang Banxian didn't pierce the window paper, what he said would be tantamount to saying nothing. Master Guo thought to himself: "Before there is a flood, find out the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong. This year, there is a severe drought. After the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the flood season has passed. Although it has rained, there will be no more floods. The future will be long." I don’t want to fight for this moment.” He planned to ask Zhang Banxian in the next few days, but he forgot the omen that Zhang Banxian saw when he saw the New Year’s picture of the Stove Lord—that he would lose his job. At that time, someone reported to the top, saying that many rumors in the society came from Master Guo, and the influence was extremely bad. Fortunately, Lao Liang spoke good words for him, but Master Guo and Ding Mao were not allowed to be on the water again. The police, Ding Mao was transferred to Nanwa, and Master Guo was sent to Panshan to guard the reservoir. In fact, it is not a good job to do temporary work for the public security on the water to salvage floating corpses. I heard that no one has always been willing to do it. Although it is said that it can accumulate evil virtues, the world only sees living people suffering. How has there ever been a dead ghost with a shackle? In contrast, guarding the reservoir is much easier, but the place is remote, the conditions are difficult, there is no food or drink, and there are few people around the reservoir in the mountains. To go to the nearby villages, you have to walk at least 20 miles on the mountain road, and you will not see a single person in ten days and a half months. When people come, the main purpose of guarding the reservoir is to prevent the local villagers from catching fish. Master Guo has worked as a water police officer for half his life, but he was suddenly not allowed to do so. He came to the Panshan Reservoir. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Just looking at the Panshan Reservoir, it is not as good as working as a water police in Tianjin Wei. But in the long run, since 1959, it has entered a three-year difficult period. The leaves of rotten vegetables that fell on the road were picked up and eaten. Thanks to the Panshan Reservoir in those years, there were fish in the reservoir, and yellow clover grew on the mountain, which is an edible thing. Starving, Master Guo knew that people were hungry, so when he saw villagers stealing fish from the reservoir, he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to take care of it. It's gone. At the beginning, Master Guo was worried about the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong, but in the next few years, he couldn’t get enough to eat. He had to guard the reservoir and couldn’t leave. Moreover, there was a lot of drought and little rain, so there was no sign of flooding. He thought he wanted to There was nothing in the house, and I gradually relaxed about it, and I don't know whether the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong was demolished or not. If we have something to say, it will be long, and if we have nothing to say, it will be short. Let’s keep it short. Water is one of the largest floods since records were made. It occurs once every two or three hundred years. In the summer of this year, the climate was abnormal. The average temperature in hot weather was as high as 40 degrees. A large number of locusts attract sparrows that overwhelm the sky. There are so many locusts that the sky turns yellow. There are also signs of "fish overturning the pit". Fish, used to think that "the river is foggy, the fish turn over the pit, the rooster crows at night, and the dog barks at the clouds". , are all precursors of major earthquakes. There is some truth in them, but they are not absolutely accurate. Let's take "fish overturning the pit" as an example. It may not be the precursors of earthquakes, and it may be due to other reasons. In 1963, many dead fish appeared in the Weihai River in Tianjin. This kind of thing had never been seen before, which made people panic. When I came back, I went to the water police again as a temporary worker, and my family members stayed in the Panshan Reservoir. Master Guo said in his heart that you are "employing people forward, not backward". There are so many dead fish, one is because the river water has changed, and the other is not because someone fried the fish, presumably there are things in the river that shouldn't be there. In the Haihe River in 1963, a large number of dead fish appeared continuously. Master Guo saw similar things in the Panshan Reservoir. It must be strange fish that came in from outside. However, the Haihe River is tens of kilometers long, deep and wide, and has many tributaries. How easy is it to find out the truth? Master Guo was worried about this matter. A person drowned under the Jiefang Bridge. He hurried over. It rained a lot this year, and the water level in various rivers rose. The weather was also very hot. The road was like a steamer. The half-sized boy is called Erzi, twelve or thirteen years old, he is dark-haired, with a half-bald second stubble shaved on his head, and he goes wild swimming at the bottom of the Jiefang Bridge every year. The water quality is surprisingly good, and no one can beat him in diving , I am very familiar with the river under the bridge. He went out for wild swimming, and the family never worried about it. I don’t know what happened this day. The children wore big pants, and the middle-aged and middle-aged children were all naked. A few children jumped into the river and were swimming happily. Suddenly, they found that the second son was twisting and falling in the river. At first, I thought it was him playing some tricks. The situation was not right. After a while, they floated face down on the river and did not move. Everyone panicked and dragged the second son to the river with all their hands and feet. They had already died of breath and their stomachs were bulging, as if they were in the river. Choked to death. The family hugged the corpse and wept loudly. The wild swimmers in this area gathered around to watch. Most of them knew the second son and knew that the boy was a good swimmer. Why did he drown for no apparent reason? At this time, Master Guo also arrived. He saw the child lying on the ground with blood behind his buttocks. He pressed his hand on his stomach, and water came out from the mouth and nose of the dead body. The river was mixed with blood. After a few presses, the dead body spat out a black It looks half like a fish and half like a snake. It is slippery all over and has amazing strength. The young man can't hold him down on the ground. Master Guo recognizes this fish. It is called a gar. It is a ferocious freshwater fish. It has never been seen in ancient times. There is a lot of rain this year. There were two floods a few days ago. Maybe some gars mixed into the Haihe River at that time, and the fish in the river were killed by them. If it gets into the stomach, this thing can drill faster than loaches. If there are living things in the stomach, no matter how good the water quality is, it will be difficult to survive. If you catch one or two, you may not be able to eradicate it. Fortunately, this fish will not survive the winter, and there will be no fish around this time next year. Yes, if you want to get rid of it before then, you can only download Juehu.com. Master Guo pointed out a few places and asked people to download more Juehu.com. The invasion of fish outside the Haihe River system happened before liberation. What disturbs him is that the water level of the Haihe River has risen too high. If there is another continuous rainstorm, all the bungalows in the city will be flooded. Master Guo looked up at the sky. A cloud flew overhead, and at this time there was news that an emergency notice had been sent to evacuate the residents by the river immediately. In August 1963, there was a continuous rainstorm, and the five major tributaries of the Haihe River rose simultaneously, resulting in a catastrophic flood that had not been seen in hundreds of years. Various reservoirs collapsed, and the periphery of Tianjin Wei was covered with oceans. Countless villages were destroyed, and the surge was as high as several meters. , the first wave of flood peaks is coming, coming fast and furiously, the situation in Tianjin City is in dire straits, the municipal party committee has issued an order for all general mobilization, the local militia, public security and various agencies and units are the main ones, regardless of gender, they are on the embankment for flood control. After the mobilization order was issued that day, the road was soon deserted. The old man and the child went to the high ground to seek refuge. The rest of the people, carrying a pair of shoulder poles and a basket, all ran towards the embankment. The embankment was more than 300 kilometers long, allowing the flood to break through a hole and the city of Tianjin would be over. Although it was reinforced every year, it had never encountered such a large flood peak before, and the scale exceeded any previous one. At that time, the water police officers were all apprentices led by Master Guo. They followed the crowd to the embankment, but they saw the black heads, and the crowd was endless. I didn't expect so many people to come. There must be hundreds of thousands?There are so many people, from any unit, and the whole unit came together. Those people are male and female, old and young, with different physical strengths. Those who made me run here didn't know who to listen to. Facing such a catastrophe, everyone was in danger. You pushed me and crowded into a mess on the embankment. Many people know Master Guo, and everyone said: "Master Guo is the god of the river, let's not mess around, and listen to Master Guo." Master Guo saw that the formation was too big, and he couldn't command it, but so many people were waiting for him to speak, and there was no way to shirk it. Fortunately, he had a job with the Xunhe team, and he was familiar with how to prevent floods from embankments, he said. The higher the embankment is, the better it is to keep out the flood. We divided into three teams. The first team went to the back of the embankment to collect soil, the second team transported it to the embankment, and the third team raised the embankment. Everyone suddenly agreed, and immediately got to work, and began to take soil to strengthen the embankment. However, the embankment of more than 300 kilometers had no fewer than hundreds of thousands of people. Master Guo could only mobilize a small area, and the rest of the place was still chaotic. It started to rain heavily, and people braved the torrential rain, and it was even more chaotic on the muddy embankment. At this critical juncture, one hundred thousand garrisons rushed to the embankment by running. The army was well-trained, organized and disciplined. Rescue everywhere, as soon as the troops arrived, the chaotic crowd immediately gained confidence, stabilized from the chaos, and followed the army to move soil and rocks. There seemed to be a hole in the sky, and the rain poured down non-stop, day and night , unable to hear face-to-face conversation. People were completely soaked, their shoes were dropped and they didn’t care to pick them up, their clothes and shoulders were worn out by the shoulder poles, and they didn’t care about it. They fell and got up again. Many people fainted from strength and were carried down. They ran back to work on the embankment again, it was windy and windy, and it was dark all around. Suddenly, the water splashed under the embankment, and countless mice jumped up the embankment, running under people's feet as if they were dying. to one. Master Guo looked up and saw a white line in the distance, which was rapidly approaching the flood control embankment. He knew that the head of water had arrived, and the head of water was the peak of the flood. On the embankment, people felt tremors under their feet, and the embankment cracked several holes. Everyone turned pale, but seeing the ferocious flood peak, no one dared to be negligent. Soldiers and civilians risked their lives to block many gaps on the levee until dark, and finally withstood the first wave of flood peak. The 600,000 people were all so exhausted that they wrapped themselves in raincoats and fell asleep on the embankment. After a while, they snored together. Some people fell asleep and never woke up again. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I was startled. There were not only people on the levee, but also countless rats, frogs, and snakes. These things, out of instinct, fled to high places when the flood came. A rare sight of snakes and rats sleeping together. In August 1963, the once-in-a-century catastrophic flood besieged the city of Tianjin. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians risked their lives to block the first wave of flood peak. Reinforced, defended the embankment life and death, and received an order not to withdraw, because there was a second wave of flood peaks, and the damage to the embankments was very serious. It's unbearable, not to mention the momentum is even greater. Although the flood was diverted upstream, it didn't have much effect, and the situation is extremely serious. This evening, the heavy rain had just stopped. Master Guo sat on the embankment to rest after eating the meal delivered from behind. It was only five or six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was dark and frighteningly dark. It is estimated that the second wave of flood peaks will arrive early tomorrow morning , he suddenly remembered the incident of the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong. He always carried those coffin nails on his body, thinking: "The things in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong should be changed by dragons and snakes. The old master of the river patrol team left a message Come on, if you don’t get rid of this monster, you will have to attract more water, and if you don’t go to the haunted house to see it clearly, you can’t rest assured.” Taking advantage of the rain, Master Guo asked his apprentice for a bicycle, without saying where he was going, hung up the flashlight, and went down the river embankment all the way to Beining Park. In the high water, the low ground is waist deep, and you have to push the car to pass. There is no electricity on the road, and the street lights are all dark. Everyone has evacuated to a higher place. I went to Ningyuan to see that all the houses are closed. There was no one in the room, it was like entering an empty city. He wanted to visit the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong overnight, and rush back to the embankment before dawn, so as not to get the reputation of running away. A few years ago, Beining Park expanded the lake and planned to demolish the houses in Liangfang Hutong. Most of the houses in one alley were demolished. No one had touched it back then. He found the two houses where Bai Sihu lived. There were no residents and no lights in the alley. The sky was dark like mountains, and the doors and windows of the two dilapidated houses were gone. The inside and outside of the house were pitch black and lifeless. Yes, not even a mosquito. Master Guo turned on the flashlight, held the coffin nails in his hands, and stepped into the house. He smelled a pungent dampness first, and looked around. The walls of the house were all gone, and the city bricks inside The building is not neat, the roof is leaking, the kraft paper pasted on the roof has been rotten, and when you look up you can see the beams and purlins that are full of dust and cobwebs, and the roof tiles are on the top. There are only two dilapidated houses, except for the bricks that were demolished in the year of Gengzi. The city bricks under the roof are no different from ordinary houses. This kind of old house with a room of ten square meters can be seen everywhere. People's eyelids are lowered, they clearly see it, but they think there is nothing in the house, why is that?" Master Guo looked at brick by brick, and took a flashlight to illuminate the roof and several corners. He didn't see anything wrong, but he could feel the dark air in the room, which made people feel chills. Ordinary houses should not have such a feeling, is there something unexpected?He didn't give up, he was really courageous, turned off the flashlight, sat under the wall and closed his eyes, thinking about the whole thing over and over again: "Gengzi Nianbai remembers that the treasurer of the coffin shop built a house to bury treasures, what will happen in the house of a coffin seller?" Treasure? Could it be this house..." Just as Master Guo thought of something, he suddenly heard someone sneering and sneering in the room. His heart sank, and he immediately opened his eyes to look. He saw a large lizard about ten feet long with horns on its head, standing in the mist. , meandering down from the wall, opening its bloody mouth to swallow him. Master Guo was quite surprised. The big lizard has horns on its head. Didn't it respond to the change of dragon and snake?It must be this thing hiding in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong. Why can't anyone see it?Where is it hiding? At this moment, there was no need to think too much. Seeing the thing coming with its mouth wide open, Master Guo grabbed a coffin nail and poked at it, but when he heard a strange cry, he sat up suddenly, his heart pounding, It was dark in front of his eyes, and there was no life in the room, as if there was nothing, he hurriedly reached for the flashlight, turned it on, and looked around, but he couldn't see anything, and said in his heart: "I may be exhausted, I sit in the room and don't know what to do." I fell asleep unexpectedly, but had such a dream, how could it seem real?" Master Guo found that the coffin nails he was holding had fallen on the ground, bent down to pick them up one by one, but one was missing, and he couldn’t find it anywhere. He was horrified and searched around the house. As long as he found the coffin nail, Then he knew what was in the haunted house in Liangfang Hutong. He searched the walls and ground, but found no coffin nails. He looked on the roof again, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning, which was as bright as day, and he happened to see the coffin nails nailed to the roof beam. After removing the dust and cobwebs on the beam, it turned out to be a piece of gloomy nanmu, more than ten feet long, with wood patterns all over the body like armor, and two holes at one end, which seemed to have eyes. Master Guo was horrified when he saw it. At this time, the black clouds from the northwest were pouring up, the thunder was exploding, and the rain was pouring heavily. He probably understood what was going on in his heart. There seems to be a sign of turning into a dragon. When the Gengzi year demolished the city bricks to build a house, they used this nanmu as a roof beam. Needless to say, it must be a vain attempt to use the dragon's energy to change Fengshui, so tell future generations that the things in this house cannot be tampered with. I never thought that the things in the murderous house in Liangfang Hutong turned out to be the wooden beams of this house, and this thing has become a climate, but the way is not good enough. The white tiger who planed and robbed said when he confessed that he heard someone talking in this house and came here to steal treasures Dawudou also claimed to have seen a head the size of a tea plate on the roof, and it was all caused by this beam. Master Guo nailed the rest of the coffins to the beams of the roof. He was busy working until dawn, remembering that he had to go back to the embankment to prevent floods, so he left the Liangfang Hutong in a hurry. Soon the second wave of water came, which was bigger than the previous one, hundreds of thousands People defended the embankment, but the water in the Haihe River behind them could not hold back, and the flood discharge river dug before could not withstand such a flood. There was no other way. At the critical moment, the sea barrier was dug, and the flood water in Tianjin entered the sea. , and finally withstood the once-in-a-century flood in 1963. In the next year, the Liangfang Hutong was completely demolished. Master Guo asked Ding Mao and Zhang Banxian to help him dig out the nanmu from the rubble, The iron lock penetrated through, tied a stone lion that was thrown away when the grave was moved, and sank together into the big hole dug in the year when the river was dug. That place leads to an underground river, forming a whirlpool, blocked by a half-buried bone tower built by Hai Zhangwu, and things that sink into the eye of the river will never come out. Renhe has never had a flood again. The first story of Heshen is "Catching Demons in the Evil Dog Village", which happened before liberation, and the second story is "Haunted House in Liangfang Alley", all happened in the 1950s and 1960s From the capture of the white four tigers who planed adzes to rob, to the flood in 1963, when the coffin boards were nailed and sank to the bottom of the river, it was considered to have come to an end.
