80s Taoism

"Father, our house is so solid, why do we need to nail boards?" Zhang Jiaohua asked in bewilderment.

"That's the horror of the big blue wolf who is so hungry that you don't know. Now that the mountain has been sealed by heavy snow for so long, the big blue wolf is almost starving to death. The recent frenzied rush to the village to steal livestock is a proof. I heard from the old people that there used to be hundreds of big blue wolves in Meishan. Go in. That would be bad. Fortunately, at that time, the militia team of the brigade had guns in their hands. The militia company commander organized militiamen with guns and killed hundreds of big green wolves in one night before driving them away. However, several households in the entire brigade of Meizi’ao got into the wolves. If they were lucky, they climbed to the attic and escaped unharmed. If they were unlucky, they were bitten to death by big green wolves.” The walls are reinforced.

"Father, have you seen it?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"I was only a little old at that time, so I don't remember even if I saw it. Your grandfather was a militiaman at that time, and he killed more than a dozen big blue wolves by himself." Zhang Youping shook his head.

"Actually, our house doesn't need to be reinforced at all. Even if those big blue wolves come to our village, they wouldn't dare to come to our house." Zhang Jiaohua definitely was wasting his efforts. It's really ugly to nail the boards like this.

"Why?" Zhang Youping stopped and raised his head to ask.

"Our family invited the family gods, and they are blessed by the family gods, how dare they come?" Zhang Jiaohua took a serious look at the statue of the patriarch on the shrine.

Zhang Youping smiled, naturally he didn't dare to talk nonsense, there are gods in the air, some things can't be said nonsense, "We just have an extra layer of insurance."

"Oh." Zhang Jiaohua had no choice but to continue handing the nails.

The whole Meiziao was beating loudly that day. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and no one wants to have any accidents. There is enough food in the family in the countryside, and bacon and the like are also very plentiful. Those who are locked up at home for ten and a half days don't have to worry about starvation at all. Besides, no matter how daring the Big Blue Wolf was, he would not dare to attack the village during the daytime. Come at night at most. Because the houses in Meizi'ao are relatively sparse, it would be really dangerous for a single family to be surrounded by wolves. People are okay, if you close the door, nothing will happen. What worries me the most is poultry and livestock.

People in rural areas feed one or two pigs in every household. To digest leftovers. The pigsty is generally relatively simple, and in order to avoid the smell of the pigsty, the pigsty must be kept at a certain distance from the house. And mostly wide open. If the wolves really came, the pigs in the pigsty would really be a problem.

Zhang Jiaohua's pigsty is also open. It is impossible to surround the pigsty at once. If the wolf comes, there is nothing to do, and the pig cannot be locked in the house. Pigs don't take baths, and they smell like pig manure. With a pig locked in a house, people really can't sleep.

After Zhang Youping reinforced the house, he went to the pigsty to look left and right, but there was no good way. I had to go to the mountains and cut a few bamboos and came back, and surrounded the pigsty with bamboo enclosures. Whether this enclosure can block the attack of hungry wolves is left to fate.

With all this in order, the sky also darkened, but snowy days, the snow light is bright, and there is very good visibility even at night.

"Youping, you want to block the big blue wolf?" Zhang Jiwang walked over to look at Zhang Youping's fence and shook his head.

"If I can't stop it, that's the only way I can. It's impossible for me to drag bricks back to build a wall around the pigsty." Zhang Youping said helplessly.

"That's true. But your fence can't block the big blue wolf's attack. You've never seen the big blue wolf go crazy. It's really scary." Zhang Jiwang said.

"Uncle Jiwang, how did your family do it?" Zhang Youping asked curiously.

"I'm a master carpenter, so I naturally use the method of a master carpenter. But I came here to invite an Anzhai talisman back. Last time I invited an Anzhai talisman when I went home, snakes dared not enter the house. This time, try installing an Anzhai talisman to see if it can scare the big blue wolf away." Zhang Jiwang said.

"Biaohua, beggar, I have something to trouble you." Zhang Jiwang waved quickly when he saw Zhang Jiaohua.

Zhang Jiaohua came over, "Grandpa Jiwang, what do you want me to do?"

As soon as Zhang Jiwang asked for Anzhai Talismans, Zhang Jiaohua's eyes twinkled, "Yes, I have made a few Anzhai Talismans there, and I'll get them for you." Zhang Jiaohua's Anzhai Talisman business hadn't opened for a long time. I finally paid a fortune, and the service attitude couldn't be better.

This time, Zhang Jiwang came to ask for the Anzhai Talisman, naturally he wanted to get through this crisis safely. Naturally, the greatest power of the Anzhai Talisman must be exerted. Zhang Jiaohua made a special trip to Zhang Jiwang's home, and personally installed the Anzhai Talisman for Zhang Jiwang's home.

There is one in the house, and one in the pigsty. Zhang Jiwang is also a craftsman, so he naturally understands the rules here. I had prepared a red envelope a long time ago, which contained ten yuan and a few cents in change.

People in the village saw that Zhang Jiwang's family invited Anzhaifu. They also rushed to invite Zhang Jiaohua to arrange the Anzhai Talisman. One afternoon, Zhang Jiaohua arranged Anzhai Talismans and earned tens of dollars. There are those who believe, and of course there are those who do not. Not everyone has a reason to pay five yuan for an Anzhai Talisman. Whether the big blue wolf will come or not, the news is uncertain. Although the population of Meizi'ao Village is not very large, the houses in the village occupy a really large area. If the big blue wolf comes, then a few wolves may not be able to harass every household. Therefore, many people took chances and didn't take Big Blue Wolf seriously. Not to mention that the Anzhai Talisman for five yuan a piece is reluctant to spend money. Even strengthening the house is no reason. Because strengthening the house requires good wood. This time, for reinforcement, the nail holes were nailed, so it cannot be used for furniture in the future. The people in Meizi'ao are not short of wood, but the stockpiles at home are all high-quality wood, and they have been sawed into boards by a master carpenter. It really hurts to use nails to reinforce the wall.

Zhang Enzhong was not willing to use the boards from the attic to reinforce the walls. I used some miscellaneous wood stakes for firewood to reinforce the wooden walls. It's just that the reinforcement is relatively rough, and it can't be compared with Zhang Jiaohua's house. As for the Anzhai Talisman that cost five yuan each, he was even more unwilling to pay the five yuan.

"The big blue wolf is not a snake. You can sneak into the house to pay New Year's greetings. My house is reinforced. What are you afraid of them doing? Really, won't we climb to the attic?" Zhang Enzhong said disapprovingly.
