Repairer - #22 - Chapter 22: Talisman (on)

  Chapter 22 Talismans (Part 1)

   “Tufuzi? These Tusuns dare to come to our village?”

  Hearing the word Tufuzi, the old village head turned pale, “Forget them running fast, otherwise the pony is inside, and you can find it when you bring it to the station.”

  The little horse that the old village head mentioned was the deputy director of the police station in the nearby jurisdiction. As a model village of public security in the jurisdiction, the old village head sent invitations to him, and they also wanted to save face and celebrate.

   “Grandpa Six, you are still so jealous.”

  Seeing the old village chief’s face, Su Xiaofan smiled and shook his head.

   Having been in the society for several years, Su Xiaofan understands a truth, this society is not what he thought at the beginning.

Take the antique market as an example. Every stall owner who sells antiques wants to say that the things on his stall are used by the emperor. It is an object before the Qing Dynasty, and it is sold for a high price.

  Strictly speaking, they are indeed deceiving people, but most adults with analytical ability will not be fooled.

  In fact, they do not do much harm to the society. How much can the things on the street stalls be sold for? One or two thousand dollars is enough, which is basically not enough to file a criminal case, and there are indeed good things on the street stalls, otherwise there would not be so many legends of “picking up leaks”.

But these seemingly unkind people, they are also the husbands of their wives and the fathers of their children. They support their families with their mouths. They are all people living at the bottom of society, and they did not steal or rob. Instead, relying on his own hard work in the morning and night to make money for the living expenses of the family.

  Of course, Su Xiaofan also hates Tufuzi who eat the dead and make their ancestors rich.

  But Su Xiaofan is not a member of the relevant department, and he has no evidence to prove that those people are engaged in this business, so he will not be as angry as the old village chief when he sees these people.

   “You don’t understand, if it weren’t for these people back then, our village wouldn’t have been lost…”

  The old village chief stopped talking in the middle of his speech, “Why am I telling you these things, Xiao Fan, you are also hungry, go inside and have something to eat, I’ll just greet people here.”

   “Huh? They have stolen things in our village?”

  Su Xiaofan recognized the voice of the old village chief.

   “The old almanac from decades ago, I will tell you later.”

  The old village head waved his hand, obviously unwilling to mention more.

   “Grandpa Liu, is this tripod in our village an antique? I’ve been putting it here since I can remember.”

  Su Xiaofan looked at the Hanwang Ding at the entrance of the village, and seemed to mention something unintentionally.

   “Don’t talk about you, I’ve put it here since I can remember.”

  The old village chief laughed, and said, “Maybe it was imitated during the Republic of China. Some experts came to see it and said that it is not old enough, so it can still be placed here, otherwise it would have been sent to the museum.”

   “Then what is the vision of the expert? It was still in the period of the Republic of China, and the state of Qin is almost the same.”

  Su Xiaofan slandered in his heart, no one would be able to see that such a real antique was put here in the wind and sun.

   After greeting Zheng Dagang, Su Xiaofan entered the village.

  Rushing to work in the village early in the morning, Su Xiaofan was hungry at the moment, so he found a table where people from his own village sat, and Su Xiaofan quickly ate.

  The school entrance feast arranged by the old village chief invited people in batches, some at noon and some at night, and it didn’t end until after three o’clock at noon, and the contractors over there started preparing the evening banquet again.

  …

  …

   It wasn’t until after nine o’clock in the evening that the school entrance banquet was over. Su Xiaofan brought Zheng Dagang to his ancestral house.

  The ancestral house of Su Xiaofan’s family is relatively dilapidated in Sujia Village, mainly because Su Xiaofan and his sister have not lived here in recent years, so there is no cover.

   “Xiaofan? Live here tonight?”

Zheng Dagang looked at the leaky window, and couldn’t help showing a wry smile on his face. He is not a person who cannot bear hardships, but there are already mosquitoes in this weather, and the windows of the house are broken, and mosquitoes can enter everywhere. Within minutes, Zheng Dagang was bitten several times.

   “Grandpa Liu told me to leave tomorrow. It would be bad if we left overnight.”

Su Xiaofan was afraid of the mosquitoes lying on his arm, and he also had a wry smile on his face. In the past two years, he had very little time to go back to the village, and he only came in the morning and left in the afternoon. Note that the ancestral house is dilapidated like this.

   “Brother, if you sleep all night, don’t you feed the mosquitoes? Let’s go back, anyway, it’s just over an hour’s drive.”

  Su Xiaoxiao held a magazine and kept fanning it around her body. She would miss her home in the city very much.

   “It’s as if you haven’t been bitten before, and you will become rich within a few days after entering the city?”

  Su Xiaofan twitched his lips. When he was a child, he didn’t sleep in the cornfield in the summer, and he was not afraid of mosquito bites. This person, it is really easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

   “Brother Gang, you and Xiao Xiao will sit down first.”

  Su Xiaofan thought for a while, and said: “I’ll go to the canteen to buy some mosquito coils, and by the way, talk to Grandpa Six about the running water mat…”

   “What is there to talk about about the running water mat?”

  Before Su Xiaofan finished speaking, Grandpa Six’s voice rang out at the door.

   “Grandpa Six, I’ve been busy all day, I should go find you.”

  Su Xiaofan rushed up to meet him, leaving aside the conflict between the old village chief and his father for some reason, there is no one who does not admire the old village chief, including Su Xiaofan.

  Leading Mr. Liu to sit down in the room, Su Xiaofan said: “Grandpa Liu, how much did you spend on the running water table today, please tell me the amount.”

Su Xiaofan grew up in the countryside, so he naturally knew that the host would definitely have to lose money for such a banquet, because most of the people who came to the banquet were given a gift of ten or twenty yuan, but they brought the whole family to eat , it is impossible to pay back at all.

   “Why do you report the number?”

  Grandpa Six glared, “I said before that this school entrance banquet is held in the village, haven’t you heard? You don’t care how much you spend, and you don’t care how much you charge, it’s all in the village.”

   “Your grandfather and I are brothers. There are few people in your grandfather’s lineage. It’s just you, your father and Xiaoxiao. I don’t care who cares about you?”

  Grandpa Six sighed, and pointed to Su Xiaofan: “You don’t have to worry about it, kid. If you study for another year, it’s great. You all go to college, and I will have the face to see your grandpa in the future.”

   “Grandpa Six, I will listen to you.”

Speaking of this, Su Xiaofan didn’t care too much. In fact, his grandfather and sixth grandfather were cousins ​​rather than brothers. As far as his generation was concerned, sixth grandfather took care of him because of affection, and if he didn’t take care of that It’s also my duty, and no one can say anything.

   “Grandpa Six, we want to go back today.”

  The relationship between Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ye is much closer than Su Xiaofan’s, and he took Grandpa Liu’s arm, “Grandpa Liu, look, there are too many mosquitoes here, I was bitten several times.”

   “It’s not normal to have mosquitoes in the countryside, stay for a day and then go back, the road is not easy to walk at night.”

  Grandpa Six rubbed Su Xiaoxiao’s head, “You’re all female singers, so you’re afraid of mosquito bites? I’ll send you some mosquito coils later.”

   “Master Liu, the road repairs are pretty good now, and I can drive without any problems.”

  Zheng Dagang couldn’t bear it anymore. He has type O blood and is the most attractive to mosquitoes. There are already several bumps on his arms and legs.

   “Yes, Grandpa Six, I am familiar with this road. I used to ride bicycles often, so it’s fine.”

  Su Xiaofan also said that when he was in high school in the city, he often took a car to the town, and then borrowed a bicycle to ride back to the village.

   “What do you know, I say the road is not easy to walk, but it is not easy to go.”

Sixth Master has always treated Su Xiaofan brothers and sisters as his own children, but Zheng Dagang is a guest after all, he felt that his words were a bit stiff, Sixth Master paused, and said: “You can go if you want, wait a minute, I’ll get you something Bring it on.”

  Seeing Liu Ye leave the house, Su Xiaofan and his sister looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Ye was going to get.

   Master Liu came back very quickly, that is, in about ten minutes. After returning to the house, Master Liu handed over a big red envelope to Su Xiaofan.

   “Here, I’ll ask someone to transfer the small tuition fee to her bank card later.”

   “Grandpa Six, what is this? Why are you giving me a red envelope? I’m not going to go to college!”

  Su Xiaofan shook his head, but didn’t reach out to take it. He took a look at the red envelope, it was flat, and there shouldn’t be much money in it.

   “It’s not money, I installed Dao Talismans for you, and bring them on the road to keep you safe!”

  The sixth grandfather put the envelope in Su Xiaofan’s hand, and said: “Don’t fold the talisman, it will also work if you get home and stick the town house talisman on the door.”

   “Character? What symbol?”

  Su Xiaofan was questioned by the sixth master. The sixth grandpa is an old party member in the village, and he started to engage in feudal superstition at some point.

   “I’ll take it for you, if you talk nonsense, don’t leave today.”

  Grandpa Six turned around and walked out the door, “Let’s go, I’ll see you off, leave early and get home early.”

   “Okay, let’s go, Xiaofan, keep up.”

  Zheng Dagang hurriedly stood up and followed. If he was to be bitten by mosquitoes all night, it would really kill him.

“this…”

  Su Xiaofan held the red envelope speechlessly, and picked up the backpack he had brought.

   “Su Xiaofan, let me see what kind of talisman Sixth Grandpa gave you?”

  Su Xiaoxiao snatched the red envelope from her brother.

   “Su Xiaoxiao, you’re drifting again, right? Call me brother!”

  Su Xiaofan didn’t compete with her either, he was no stranger to rural talismans, in the past during festivals, every household would post some peach talismans and the like.

   “This is a peace talisman.”

  Su Xiaoxiao was quick, opened the red envelope and took out a piece of yellow talisman paper.

   “This is Che Gongfu!”

  Beside Zheng Dagang took a look and said: “Look, there is a car character in the middle, and the two sides are peace of entry and exit and disaster relief. This kind of talisman is sold in the market, and many car owners will buy it when the Chinese New Year is approaching.”

   “Che Gongfu?”

  Su Xiaofan also looked at the talisman paper, but when he saw it, a line of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

  【Repair value: 3 points! 】

  【Che Gong Talisman, a low-level incomplete talisman, can be repaired, and a little repair value needs to be deducted. Do you want to repair it? 】

   “Are there low-level instruments and low-level talismans?”

  Seeing the information in his mind, Su Xiaofan was a little dazed for a while, since the repair value appeared in his mind, what appeared were either magic tools or talismans, and these things were beyond his cognition.
