Chapter 38 Four or five batou get out of the body

The Spring Festival is coming again, and 1935 is ushered in the restless China. In the cold spring season, Liang Wenqiu's gunshot wound recurred at Wubatou, and his left arm was so painful that he couldn't straighten up. Grandpa saw it in his eyes and felt the pain in his heart.This old Batou who has followed him for twelve years has always been loyal. Now he is close to his destiny, his hair is gray, he has been a treasure all his life, he has no wife and no children, and he dedicated everything to the "Jiang Xiangpai". At night, the grandfather specially arranged for his servants to cook a table of dishes and invited old man Liang over.

"Master Liang, is your arm better?" Grandfather asked with concern. The grandfather seldom called him "Master Liang". Although he was old, his courteous etiquette could not be changed. On weekdays, the grandfather always called him "Old Five" in front of the brothers. "It's okay, let Grandpa worry about it." Liang Wenqiu smiled knowingly. "Master Liang blocked a shot for me, I will never forget it." "Grandfather is serious. Grandfather is the master of the family. Brothers should do this." "Master Liang, have you thought about your future plans?"

Liang Wenqiu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I can still do it, I can still do it!" He thought that his grandfather thought he was incompetent and wanted to kick him out. The grandfather sighed and said, "Master Liang, you and I both know the hardships of being Po. On the surface, we wear gold and silver, and are beautiful, but we are shameless. On this road, some people can wash their hands. Some people can't wash their hands for a lifetime. Master Liang has no life in his hands, so he can wash his hands..." When Liang Wenqiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Grandpa scared me to death. I was born as a man of Tangkou, and died as a ghost of Tangkou. I will never rebel."

"Master Liang, there is no one else tonight. You and I, my brother and I, speak from the bottom of our hearts. You don't have to be formal." "Ok." "Master Liang has a family of four, his parents died early, and only one younger sister got married in Hangzhou. Over the years, Master Liang has been busy away from home, and the grave of his parents has not been cleaned for many years. Those of us are desperate, fighting and killing all day long. If you are not careful, you will lose your life, you know, I know, brothers all know it, but everyone is unwilling to face it, knowing that it is a dream, but dare not wake up."

Liang Wenqiu's tears fell silently. The grandfather's eye circles were also red, and he said sadly: "I can't get rid of the bottom, there is no way out, this life will be like this, and the next life will be a different person, I hope God will not arrange this again." "Grandfather, let's have a drink." Liang Wenqiu picked up the cup and drank it down. The grandfather continued: "You know, there are rules in the hall. One day it is Po, and it is Po for the rest of its life. You can't leave the hall even when you die. But after I took over the hall, I set a precedent. Senior Zhou Zhenlong left on the same day. At that time, I did not stop him, because I trusted him and knew that he would never tell the secret of the hall. Now I am going to set a second precedent. Master Liang can leave the hall, take the money, and find a woman outside. It's an ordinary life. I'm telling the truth, I hope Master Liang can understand."

"Grandpa..." Liang Wenqiu burst into tears. "Take the silver and go south, the farther the better. Don't go north, the Japanese may have a large army going south." "The army is heading south?" "Well, Master Liang doesn't care about these things. If you have difficulties abroad in the future, you can go back to the hall. Even though you are leaving, I have to repeat the rules of the hall. Those who keep secrets will die, and those who split the hall will die!" "Grandpa!" Liang Wenqiu fell to his knees and hugged Grandpa's leg, tears streaming down his face, "Grandpa, Grandpa..." Then he buried his head deeply in Grandpa's leg to show his gratitude .

"A Bao Pian" says: I come from the mortal world to make a picture, Everything is in the past. Thunder strikes fire and burns, but the wind cannot escape. In the gate of life and death. This is an oath that everyone who joins the "Jiangxiang faction" must make. It means that I have changed from an ordinary person in the mortal world to Abao. I will be a "phase" to deceive people, and I will no longer miss everything in the world. I will not leave the hall, life and death will be mixed in the hall. If a person wants to join the "Jiangxiang faction", he will never want to leave in his life.Some people who were forced to join the "Jiangxiang faction" by life, after a period of time, had money, and wanted to run away, but they were all caught and cut off.

If you can escape from the hall, it means rebirth.Liang Wenqiu was reborn. A few days later, under the arrangement of his grandfather, Liang Wenqiu was sick and resigned from his post at the church meeting, and his grandfather agreed to let him retire to the second line.Everyone thought he was taking a back seat, and no one knew it was a farewell.Later, Liang Wenqiu left the hall forever in the name of going home to visit the grave.Before leaving, I kowtowed three times to my grandfather, my grandfather embraced him, my brothers shed tears, and I will say goodbye forever! After Liang Wenqiu left, the position of "Wubatou" became vacant.Zhang Qiling made his debut.

Zhang Qiling, whose ancestral home is Fujian, joined Tangkou at the age of eighteen, and is the little foot under Xue Jiaren in Sanbatou.This person is a talent discovered in Sanbatou. His grandfather is the successor of Sanhuang Fengshui. He learned some fur from his grandfather and started to run a stall.But this person's actions were too dark, the price of Feng Shui adjustment was too high, and he was arrogant and arrogant. As time passed, fewer and fewer people asked for tests, and the business gradually became deserted. In 1932, when Sanbatou was practicing hands on the street with a few little feet, Zhang Qiling happened to pass by. His head was ashamed and he couldn't get off the stage.

Afterwards, Sanbatou asked Xiao Jiao to follow him, and went back to report the incident to his grandfather. After hearing this, the grandfather said, "Can you recruit?" Sanbatou said, "I'll try it." The reason why Sanbatou took the initiative to ask for his life was because he had a similar experience. He knew the psychology of a down-and-out warlock. After exaggerating the scene of money rolling in after joining the hall, Zhang Qiling felt like he had found an organization when he heard it. He patted his head and said, "It's finally useful!" People tend to get confused in front of money and forget the basic right and wrong.He only heard Sanbatou talk about the vain money, but he didn't know that this line of work would be short of limbs, or even his life if he failed.If he expected that his grandfather would cut him up nineteen years later, he would never join the hall.

Zhang Qiling has some geniuses. He can outline all the mountains in the country one by one, from Kunlun in the north, to Hainan in the south, from the Himalayas in the west, to Fujian in the east... He memorizes all the mountains, big and small.After arriving at Tangkou, the grandfather arranged him under Sanbatou's subordinates.He himself is also very excited, and he wants to express himself deliberately every time he does a game. After coming to the hall, he has also participated in more than a dozen large and small Feng Shui bureaus. Sanbatou once proposed to promote this person as Batou, but the grandfather used the excuse of temporarily setting up five unchanged rules at the entrance of the hall to perfunctory the past.Grandfather has always been more cautious about this kind of people who are open to money. After Liang Wenqiu left, Sanbatou strongly recommended Zhang Qiling.In fact, there was another person who wanted to compete for this position, and that was Huang Farong.At first, my grandfather really wanted to give this position to Huang Farong, who is ice-snow and smart, but Huang Farong and Jiang Feiyan talked about the matter of their successors at night, but they were overheard by the grandfather's housekeeper, Wu Erer, and told the grandfather, and the grandfather then Changed her mind, now Huang Farong is still working hard for her grandfather in the chess game, but she doesn't know that this is her last jump. So, amidst the sound of celebration, Zhang Qiling became the new Wubatou. From then on, Zhang Qiling and Xue Jiaren became buddies until they climbed incense and died together.
