Broken Bread drove slowly onto the main road. Why was there a person standing on the roadside in front? The guy seemed to be still waving at me.
I took a closer look and found that the man standing on the roadside was actually Yi Ba.
"Didn't you leave in Z4? Why are you standing here?" I stopped the broken bread next to Yi Ba and asked him.
"My sister-in-law said she had to do some work and wouldn't go back to the county town for a while, so she left me here." Yi Bal opened the door of the broken bread and got in.
“I’m going to die if I take the van, but I still want to ride in the Z4.” I started the van and headed towards the county seat.
I sent Yi Ba to the gate of Anqingguan, and then drove back to Xinsheng Pavilion.
The days passed in a blur for about ten days. This morning, news came from Liuzi Lane that the land was going to be demolished.
Liuzi Lane is not far from Xinsheng Pavilion and is considered the core of the county. However, the houses there are very old and many are dilapidated. Before the satellite city was planned, there were rumors that Liuzi Lane would be demolished. Therefore, it is not surprising that such news comes out now.
"Brother in the first year of junior high school! Brother in the first year of junior high school!" That guy Yi Ba is here. Judging from his anxious look, it seems that something is wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked Yi Ba with some confusion.
"Liuzi Lane is going to be demolished, did you know?" Yi Ba asked me.
"I know!" I nodded and said: "Before the news of the satellite city came out, that place had said it would be demolished. Now that there is such a plan, it is normal for that place to be demolished. "Yes!"
"That place cannot be demolished. From the perspective of Feng Shui, Liuzi Lane is the left guardian of your Xinsheng Pavilion. If it is demolished there, your Xinsheng Pavilion will be equivalent to losing your left arm." "Yi Ba said seriously.
"Why haven't you told me before?" I asked.
"There was nothing wrong in Liuzixiang before, so what's the point of not saying it? Besides, I thought your master told you!" Yi Ba paused and said, "Xinsheng Pavilion's There is Liuzi Lane on the left, and on the right There is Huaishu Street next to it, and these lanes and streets are the guardians of Xinsheng Pavilion. If one is destroyed, Xinsheng Pavilion will become a ruin; if both are destroyed, Xinsheng Pavilion will be ruined. "
"Willow Alley? Sophora Tree Street? Whether it's willow or locust tree, it's the most yin tree! Are the two guardians of Xinsheng Pavilion related to shady things?" I asked Yi Ba.
"The secret of Xinsheng Pavilion is only known to your master. How can I figure it out clearly? Are Liuzi Lane and Huaishu Street the guardians of Xinsheng Pavilion, or did my uncle inadvertently follow me? I mentioned it. There were no problems in these two places before, so I didn’t tell you. Now that Liuzi Lane is going to be demolished, you have to think of a way to stop it!" Yi Ba said.
“I am just a common man, how can I stop demolition?”
I sighed and said: “There are many dilapidated buildings in Liuzi Lane. What if? The demolition is also a good thing for the people who live there. We are very particular about being kind. I can't let the people of Liuzi Lane live in that rotten house forever just because of Xinsheng Pavilion's selfish interests!"
"Since you think so, Brother Chuyi, I can't say anything more. "Yi Ba frowned and said, "I hope Liuzi Lane will be peaceful and nothing will happen."
Because they are dilapidated buildings, the residents of Liuzi Lane have long been looking forward to their demolition and do not need any mobilization. A week later, all the demolition agreements were signed, and everyone was waiting to get the money to move.
I don’t know if it was because of the construction of a satellite city, but the demolition money came quickly. After the residents got the money, every family moved out of Liuzi Lane.
However, a lonely old lady named Tao Guibi did not move, and she did not collect the demolition money. She said that she had lived in Liuzi Lane all her life, and even if she died, she would have to die there.
That night, when I was about to close the door and go to sleep, Tao Guibi came unexpectedly.
"Grandma Tao, did you come to my place to read your fortune?" I asked.
"I don't read fortune tellers. Your master is kind to me. I promised him that I will guard Liuzi Lane."
Tao Guibi said this to me, then turned and left.
I was a little confused. I didn’t know what Tao Guibi meant by what he said, but I didn’t think much about it. Instead, I closed the door and went into the house to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as I finished the divination, Yi Ba came anxiously.
"Something big happened, brother Chu Yi!" Yi Ba said.
"What's going on?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
"Tao Guibi is dead. She hanged herself from the beam of her house." Yi Badao said.
As soon as I heard the news, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Tao Guibi came to see me last night and said something I didn't quite understand. I didn't know what she meant by that, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
"She came to me last night and said that Master was kind to her and that she would guard Liuzi Lane." I said.
“It’s broken!” Yi Ba said, and slapped his own thigh.
"What's broken?" I asked Yi Ba with some confusion.
"Tao Guibi chose to commit suicide just to protect Liuzi Lane. She is an old woman, how can she protect it if she is alive? But if she dies and becomes a ghost, it will be different!" Yi Ba sighed He took a breath and said: "A living person Life is gone. Brother Chuyi, if you had taken the initiative to stop the demolition of Liuzi Lane, Tao Huabi wouldn't have had to do this. "
"Did I do something wrong? I was a little confused, and then said to myself: "I I just feel that Liuzi Lane is so dilapidated and most of the people living there want to demolish it and use the money to buy new houses to live in. Wouldn’t it be a bad thing and a good thing if I stop it?”
“ If Liuzi Lane was just an ordinary alley, in the first grade of junior high school There is nothing wrong with your idea, brother, but the problem is that Liuzixiang is the left guardian of Xinsheng Pavilion!" Yi Ba sighed and said: "Tao Guibi hanged himself, Liuzixiang will not be in peace."
"What should we do next?" I asked Yi Ba.
"Tao Guibi did not hesitate to risk his life to protect Liuzi Lane. There is definitely a reason for this." Yi Ba shook his head and said: "Logically speaking, your master should tell you the secret of Xinsheng Pavilion! Why did he Didn’t you say it? Do you think you are too young and unreliable? Or does your master have any backup plans?”
Could it be that Tao Guibi's death was a back-up left by my master? Based on my understanding of Master, it is impossible for him to do bad things! It is even more impossible to do such a thing as harming people's lives.
Now I am completely confused.
“What can we do?” I asked Yi Ba.
"Let's help with Tao Guibi's funeral first! As for anything else, I don't know what else to do for the time being." Yi Ba said.
Tao Guibi's funeral went smoothly, because she was an old woman alone with no children, so Yi Ba and I played a guest role as her descendants and sent her to the mountain.
The funeral is over, there are no more residents in Liuzi Lane, and demolition construction can begin. The demolition team entered the site, but before the demolition started, a worker went crazy.
The crazy worker kept shouting.
"There is a ghost in Liuzi Alley! There is a ghost in Liuzi Alley!"
A good person goes crazy for no reason and keeps shouting that there is a ghost. Other workers, How dare you continue to stay in Liuzi Lane? One by one, of course they all ran away!
When one worker went crazy, the demolition team left the scene, and Liuzi Lane returned to its previous quiet state.
That afternoon, Yi Ba came.
"Have you heard about what happened in Liuzi Lane?"
"I heard that a worker went crazy and said there was a ghost. I don't know if it was Tao Guibi who did it."I explain.
"It's better to be crazy than dead. People who are scared crazy by ghosts can be cured." Yi Ba sighed and said, "Tao Guibi is not evil. She did not kill anyone. I chose to use this conservative method. After the matter is over, I can take action to rescue the crazy worker. "So Brother Chuyi, you don't need to worry." "What I'm worried about is not the workers, but the people who paid the money. It's impossible for Liuzixiang to just sit still. They must be." I'll find a way. It'll be troublesome if I make any more mistakes." I said.
