Chapter 87 Ancestors Who Loved Gambling
Su Nuobai briefly told the Xiong family what had happened.
Aunt Xiong slapped her thigh and said, "It's all my fault. I believed what the paper-making shop owner said and bought those things."
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that our ancestors played a little too much and lost some restraint."
"I'll just ask them to come up and explain it to them."
Uncle Xiong quickly asked, "What should we prepare?"
"No need, I have gold ingots and incense sticks here, you can just pay me later." Su Nuobai said as he took out gold ingots and incense sticks from his small bag.
She made all these things herself, and the results are not what you can buy in ordinary stores.
Xiong Kui asked his wife to take the two children to the room next door and wait until things here were over before coming out.
Su Nuobai came to the room where they placed the ancestral tablets and asked several people from the Xiong family to burn incense for the ancestors.
She used her spiritual power to draw a circle and asked them to stand inside it.
"Ancestor of the Xiong family, please show up quickly."
Xiong Kui and the others only felt that the room had become much colder. When they opened their eyes and looked, wasn't this the ancestor of the Xiong family?
The ancestors of the Xiong family who were called up were still holding paper money and gambling tools in their hands. They all looked confused and had no idea how they appeared here.
Uncle Xiong burst into tears when he saw the elderly people: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma!"
The ancestors of the Xiong family still had excitement on their faces, but they were frightened by the sudden sound and dropped the things in their hands to the ground.
Xiong Kui and his family were not afraid. They were all their relatives. Although they were separated by the Yin and Yang, they never thought that they would see each other again one day.
The ancestors of the Xiong family saw that their descendants did not care about the things that fell on the ground, and they looked at Xiong Kui's family with a smile.
"Hey! This is Xiao Kui! He's grown so big now. This must be the official uniform of the yamen runner!"
"Oh my! Xiaoman is so old already!"
"Little Wife, how many children have you given birth to?"
“…”
The ancestors of the Xiong family were talking at once, leaving the Xiong Kui family at a loss as to who to answer.
"Cough cough cough!" Su Nuobai interrupted their family recognition meeting at this time.
The ancestor of the Xiong family only then realized that there was another person standing next to him: "Who is this person? He is not from our Xiong family."
Xiong Kui quickly explained: "My dear ancestors, this is the master I invited, and she is the one who invited you up."
The Xiong family ancestor looked at Su Nuobai and said, "Master, what are you asking us to do here?"
Su Nuobai looked at the ancestors of the Xiong family with a headache: "You guys gamble down there every day, and when you lose all your money, you ask your descendants for it. Don't you even plan to let them have a good rest?"
"Look at him now, aren't you afraid that he will die young and stay with you?"
The ancestor of the Xiong family secretly glanced at the dark circles under Xiong Kui's eyes, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Su Nuobai.
"We are just too bored, and we don't want to be reincarnated."
Su Nuobai looked at them like children who had done something wrong: "You can play, you can kill time, but you can't be so unrestrained. If you continue like this, they won't dare burn fun things for you during the Qingming Festival."
"No, no, no, we promise not to do such a thing again." The ancestors of the Xiong family hurriedly made the promise.
After they finished speaking, they looked at Xiong Kui's family and said, "We won't be so reckless in sending you dreams in the future. If there are any fun things in the world of the living, just burn some for us."
Xiong Kui smiled and agreed: "Okay."
An old ghost quietly approached Uncle Xiong and said, "Xiao Man, I won a lot of money from them recently. I'll save it for you. When you are a hundred years old, I will spend it for you."
Xiong Kui and his family were both amused and confused when they heard this. Should they be moved? Or should they be moved?
Su Nuobai gave them a little time to reminisce about the past. Aunt Xiong asked Xiong Kui's wife to bring the two children over so that these ancestors could take a look.
Mrs. Xiong Kui was a little scared at first, but she found that these ancestors of the Xiong family were all kind people, and their hearts were like those of children.
The children at home all like them very much and clamor to play with them.
Su Nuobai checked the time and said, "It's almost time. It will be of no benefit to them if you stay any longer."
The Xiong family ancestors looked at them with a smile and said, "Live well. We are not lonely down there. Don't think about coming down to accompany us. Live a few more years and burn more incense and candles for us."
Xiong Kui and his family all had tears in their eyes and nodded continuously.
The Xiong family ancestor glanced at Xiong Kui and said, "Xiao Kui, once you put on this official uniform, you must serve the people. You cannot oppress them, otherwise we will lose face."
"Grandson will remember it." Xiong Kui raised his hand to wipe away his tears and nodded in agreement.
Su Nuobai opened the ghost gate and sent them back.
The Xiong family's children looked at them reluctantly: "Grandfather, will you come and play with us in the future?"
"I won't come anymore. You must listen to your parents and grandparents and grow up well. We, the ancestors, will bless you." The ancestor of the Xiong family entered the ghost gate with a smile on his face.
The gates of hell were closed, and the temperature in the room began to warm up.
Xiong Kui's family's eyes were red from crying.
Su Nuobai looked at their family and said, "They won't come looking for Bear Catcher anymore. Just live your life peacefully!"
Uncle Xiong quickly asked his wife to get the silver.
Su Nuobai called her over with a smile: "There's no need for silver, why not treat me to a meal?"
"Ah!" Aunt Xiong took a few steps forward and then stepped back.
Uncle Xiong said quickly, "Of course I'll treat you to a meal, but Master, please accept this silver as well."
"Your family isn't wealthy, so treating me to a meal is your reward. Doing more good deeds in the future will also help me offset the karma."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "But I will charge you for the ingots, incense, candles, and talismans."
Xiong Kui immediately understood: "This is what I should do. I want to buy a talisman for everyone in our family."
Su Nuobai counted the number of people in their family, eleven in total: "The total is two taels of silver, thank you for your patronage!"
Aunt Xiong hurriedly took out some silver. Anyone who didn't buy the talismans sold by this capable master was a fool.
They had heard that if you went to Qingyun Temple to buy a peace amulet, it would cost at least two taels of silver, and at most one hundred taels, so not everyone could buy it.
Su Nuobai heard a voice as soon as her ears moved: "Miss, the things have been bought, where are you?"
Feng Zhi probably couldn't find her, so he sent her a message.
Su Nuobai didn't move his lips. "I'm at Constable Xiong's house, ready to have lunch. You can eat and go back. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, then I'll go back and practice." Feng Zhi fell silent after he finished speaking.
After having a meal at Xiong Kui's house, he politely declined their repeated invitations.
Walking through an alley, she saw a man in his early twenties walking towards her, tapping the ground with a bamboo pole.
"Da da da!" The bamboo poles made a sound on the stone pavement of the alley.
There was a dog following closely beside him.
