It is said that the most famous craftsmen in ancient times should be headed by carpenters, because carpenters have too high requirements for technology, and carpenters have some skills, which are incredible and not everyone can do it.
Carpenter Zhou Yun is an old carpenter with superb skills. It is said that since his grandfather's grandfather was a carpenter, he passed down several generations of carpenter skills in the Zhou family has become more perfect.
is just to support the family. Zhou Yun is now in his fifties, but he is still running around.
The farthest one is often used even if it is a hundred miles away. As long as the wages are paid high, Zhou Yun goes anywhere.
This time, Zhou Yun went to the location of the prefecture, and a wealthy businessman asked him to work, and his wages were more than doubled.
Zhou Yun has two sons this time. The eldest son is married, and the younger son has not yet married. Zhou Yun has worked so hard to build a better house for his son.
is located in this state capital. He worked for a full month and finally finished his work. The owner was very satisfied and gave him a salary and gave him some more rewards. After drinking and eating, Zhou Yun and some other craftsmen left one after another.
It was after noon at this moment. Zhou Yun thought about it. It was a hundred miles away. Now he would have to arrive tomorrow afternoon. He had to find a place to stay in the middle.
But he was eager to think about his family, so he still carved the toolbox and walked towards the home.
is a worker, and walking is nothing to him. It’s just that the journey is a bit far away. I prepared dry food and umbrellas in advance. After all, it’s rainy season.
When I walked thirty miles, it was not far from darkness. At this moment, a cloud of dark clouds rolled in. Seeing this, Zhou Yun cursed: Damn weather!
It only takes a moment to get the rain, but fortunately it’s not too big, but Zhou Yun has some experience. Judging from this trend, he will get bigger in the future.
So you must find a place to shelter from the rain, and an umbrella will definitely not work.
But in this wilderness, there is no village in sight.
had no choice but to keep moving forward, because he had only been here once in this state capital and was not very familiar with the road.
is walking, and in the rain, there seems to be a little flashing of fire, attracting his attention.
A feeling of joy suddenly came to my heart, holding an umbrella, and walking towards the fire.
At this moment, his clothes were already much wet and were close to him. He was stunned for a moment, because there was a broken ancient temple in front of him.
The gate disappeared, it was really ruined. At first glance, the stone incense burner in the courtyard was still there, but the incense was gone, and only rain kept overflowing from it.
Not only that, in the rain, in the Great Hall, there were scenes of light shaking, but there were many places where the lights came from in the Great Hall, not just the doors, windows, roofs, and damaged everywhere. After a little observation of
, Zhou Yun no longer thought about it. Anyway, this place is a dilapidated temple and it is not someone's private territory. He just stayed there for a while, and it must be fine.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun walked towards the hall with his toolbox on his back.
walked to the entrance of the hall and was stunned because with the help of the light inside, I saw a sedan chair. Even if the light was dim, I could see clearly that it was actually a sedan chair.
The red sedan chair was very eye-catching and with doubts, Zhou Yun walked in.
The roof of the hall was damaged, and it was still dripping with rain at this moment, but other places were OK. The hall was not small, and there was a fire at this moment, and there were seven or eight people in the circle next to it.
It seems that when they saw him coming in, these people looked at them at the same time.
Zhou Yun took this opportunity to observe that the four sedan chairmen were dressed very festively, and there were two drum musicians, who should have played music when they were picking up their brides.
The other is a groom. The groom is wearing a red wedding dress and looks handsome.
Zhou Yun saw this and bowed to him: I'm disturbing you, come here to shelter from the rain. Please give me some convenience.
The groom heard this and quickly stood up and said with a smile: They are all in trouble, why are they so polite? Besides, this is not my family's home. The old man also asked to come over and roast the fire.
When Zhou Yun heard this, he immediately felt good about the groom, so he walked over. After all, his body was wet and he planned to roast the fire.
When they got closer, these people moved a seat for him, and Zhou Yun sat down.
Looking at the sedan chair, Zhou Yun said in confusion: Are you?
The man dressed as a groom said with a wry smile: I'm getting married today, but I didn't expect to encounter some problems when I came out, so I came back late, and it even rained. It seems that today's great day was screwed up by me.
In ancient times, marriage was auspicious. Now it is not far from dark, so it is naturally a bad time. If you go back, you will have to get married. I guess all the guests should leave.
Zhou Yun also showed helplessness when he heard this, but looked at the sedan chair wet by the rain and asked: Why don’t you see the bride?
After hearing this, the groom pointed to the sedan chair and said: The bride is in the sedan chair. If she doesn’t reach the place, the bride cannot walk out of the sedan chair, so we are here to burn the fire, and she can only endure it temporarily.
Zhou Yun expressed his understanding. After all, this is a local custom. Only when he reaches his in-laws' house can the bride get out of the sedan chair.
Everyone is talking here, and the groom is also an extrovert. When talking to everyone, it is very harmonious.
It was just that the sky was getting darker and the rain continued. Zhou Yun was a little confused and looked up at the sedan chair several times during this period.
He has also been married and said in confusion: Is the bride suitable to be picked up?
The groom calculated and said: About one minute at noon.
When Zhou Yun heard this, he was surprised and said: It’s been so long, why are you here?
The man said in the middle that the two families were twenty miles apart and set off in advance. They picked up the kiss at noon and walked back. Even if they got home, it would not take long, but at this moment, they were still halfway away from home.
After hearing this, the groom sighed and said: Oh! Not to mention, today is also unlucky. Not far away, when I was passing by, I encountered a funeral incident. The two families were blocked on the road and argued endlessly. It took more than an hour. In the end, I finally made way for the matter to pass.
When Zhou Yun heard this, he suddenly realized that folk customs, whether it is a frivolous or a popular thing, cannot go back, that is, they cannot turn around, they can only move forward. This is a kind of qualities and is very important.
If we encounter each other, then this matter is really difficult to deal with. Generally, people say hello in advance. The two families try to stagger the time. If they do not greet them in advance, they choose the same time. If they encounter a road, then as the groom said, they must have argued with each other. No one is willing to give up on such things, and the groom finally gave up.
Zhou Yun had doubts, because when he came in just now, he felt something was wrong, so he asked this question.
As he said that, he got up, pretended to be careless, and walked to the sedan chair. In fact, the groom was already concerned about his question. Although he didn't understand why, he was staring at him.
When we got to the sedan chair, Zhou Yun sniffed, frowned, thought for a while, suddenly he was stunned and said to the groom: The bride is a wooden man!
The groom was stunned when he heard this, got up and walked closer, pointed to the sedan chair and said: Old man! You are drinking too much! My wife is a wooden man? When I was welcoming, I brought it in in person.
The others also came over, and the few people carrying the sedan chair said: I said, Carpenter, you are drinking too much! We carried the sedan chair, but we knew that the bride could not be a wooden man.
Zhou Yun pointed to the sedan chair and said: You can verify it.
The man felt ridiculous after hearing this, but he still asked in the sedan chair: Madam! You should have heard what this old man said? If you say something, tell him to give up!
Everyone was watching jokes, waiting for the bride to speak, but after a moment, everyone's smiles disappeared, and they were waiting for the sedan chair to stare blankly.
The groom looked uneasy, but he still said: Madam! You say something!
still had no reaction at all.
This time, the man knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and watched inward. As a result, a scream came, and the man was so scared that he took several steps back.
Everyone looked at it and was also frightened. A wooden man was sitting in the sedan chair, wrapped in the bride's red robe, and his appearance was very terrifying.
Zhou Yun looked at this scene with an ugly face. The groom grabbed his arm and asked: What's the matter?
After hearing this, Zhou Yun said, after a little thought, he said: I'm afraid the problem lies with the person who did the funeral.
After hearing this, the groom hurriedly said: Where is my wife now?
When Zhou Yun heard this, he thought for a while, and said: I'm afraid! Maybe it's still a bit too late!
The groom heard this and suddenly became anxious and asked: What exactly?
Zhou Yun said: If what I expected is true, it should have been buried. We may still have some possibility when we pass by now.
Hearing this, the groom was immediately anxious, but he said: From there, it started to rain, look!
Zhou Yun immediately showed joy when he heard this and said: If so, the possibility of the bride's survival is at least 80%. Let's go there quickly!
At this moment, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. The sedan chairkeeper carried the empty sedan and everyone returned along the same path.
Even if it rains, everyone is still very fast.
When the quarrel was over, everyone knew where the family was going, so they did not waste time and went directly to the cemetery.
When we arrived at the cemetery, Zhou Yun had sharp eyes. A new grave had just been built, but it looked a little messy because it was raining.
shouted to everyone: Dig it quickly!
At this moment, everyone ignored it. Even if they had no tools, they started to dig up with their hands.
is also strange. The coffin was dug up very quickly. Zhou Yun estimated that the group of people was not easy to do on rainy days, so he didn't dig deep, but just dug it casually and buried it temporarily. The most critical issue of
, the coffin actually has two mouthfuls, one of which is slightly smaller, even casual, without even nails.
Everyone worked together to open it. A woman in white underwear was lying down at the moment, her face full of fear.
Zhou Yun shouted: Still alive! Get it out quickly!
Take the bride out and put it in the sedan chair. Everyone carried it back to the ruined temple.
After busyness, the bride finally woke up. When she saw the groom, she burst into tears and almost died.
After inquiring, I found out that the bride was kidnapped when the two families were quarreling. The person who did the funeral was because the rich family had their son died and had not gotten married yet. It was a coincidence that they met them and kidnapped the bride and buried it as if they were buried with them.
Although it means that the law is broken, the family is rich and makes a quick decision.
The groom heard this and shouted: When I go back, I will definitely go to the government to sue him!
Zhou Yun heard this, sighed and said: Forget it! Finally, the person is back, so there is no trouble!
After the rain stopped, a group of people dispersed, and the groom bowed to Zhou Yun and said, "Thank you for your help."
Zhou Yun waved his hand and said: It’s just a coincidence, don’t take it to heart, just live a life!
Afterwards, Zhou Yun asked, let alone the groom's family, he really sued the man. Although the groom had no power or power, he had a classmate and friend who was a high-ranking official at home, but he really took the man down. The matter was successfully resolved.
Zhou Yun was a little satisfied, after all, he saved a life because of himself.
The story is over!
