Chapter 215 More and Less

It was already evening. In the Sanshui Village Government Courtyard, Shen Gui walked into the conference room with a gloomy face.

At this moment, some senior people in the village are already waiting here.

"Agui, how are you?"

Shen Gui shook his head, and after a long while he said in a low voice: "They are in the same group."

After a long discussion, the crowd dispersed worriedly. Shen Gui also returned to his home.

It's past time to eat now. As soon as Shen Gui returned home, he saw that the stoves were cold and the pots and pans were not moving. When he opened the door and entered the house, his grandson immediately rushed over and hugged his legs.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry."

This little grandson is what Shen Gui feels most distressed about. Seeing the little grandson crying out that he is hungry now makes him feel so distressed that his heart is about to break. When he looked up again, he saw his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter sitting there motionless with gloomy expressions, and he felt angry again.

"Juan'er, why don't you cook? The children are hungry, go and cook!"

Daughter Shen Juan snorted and stood up, and said firmly: "Whoever wants to do it will do it. I won't do it anyway!"

Then he turned around and left. When he went out, he deliberately slammed the door hard and made a banging sound.

Shen Guiqi was filled with smoke: "It's against the heavens, it's against the heavens!"

His son Shen Fu ignored his father's anger and asked directly: "Dad, I heard that you were angry with Mr. Lu who donated money to build the school?"

"You know nothing, you bastard! What do you mean by getting angry? That bastard Mr. Lu had bad intentions from the beginning! They are all in the same group as the people from the Public Security Bureau! This is to set a trap for us and force us to bow our heads! What do you mean? Can I give in?"

The daughter-in-law said, "Dad, I don't understand those things. I just want to know, is it true that Mr. Lu donated money to build a school?"

Shen Gui hummed, "Who knows."

"I've heard from Mayor Wang that this is true. It was almost done!"

Shen Gui looked gloomy and said nothing.

The daughter-in-law said again: "Dad, as long as you cooperate with the people from the Public Security Bureau, Mr. Lu will continue to build the school?"

This is obvious. Shen Gui said gloomily: "You have bad intentions!"

My wife shouted: "Why do you care about others? Isn't it enough to build a school for the village? Old Shen, if you do this, the villagers will poke our spines! How can you do this?"

Shen Gui finally became furious again: "Outsiders don't understand, but you still don't understand? After all these years, has there been a year when our village has not been peaceful and safe? It's not been protected by Dong'an God! If you invite the evil god, there will be disaster in the village! What will happen then? ?!”

Shen Fu shouted: "What nonsense Dong'an Shen? Our village has been poor for many years. If the outside world hadn't built roads and connected the Internet for us, could the peaches be sold? Can we make money? My uncle is sick and it rains. I couldn’t get out of the village, I was delayed to death, so where is that bullshit Dong’an God? That time my mother had a heart attack, it took more than an hour along the highway to reach the county hospital, was it the God of Dong’an who saved her?”

Shen Gui jumped up, raised his palm and greeted his son: "You bastard, I'll beat you to death, beat you to death..."

"You beat me to death today! Beat me to death! Beat me to death and let the God of Dong'an take care of you until you die!"

"you you……"

Shen Gui pointed at his son, trembling with anger and speechless.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while, the daughter-in-law got up and walked outside the house. As he walked, he said: "Zai'er will go to school in the county in the second half of the year. I don't care about picking up and dropping off. Anyway, he is the son of your old Shen family. Who cares about it?"

My wife also stood up and left, muttering: "I don't care either."

His son Shen Fu hummed and said, "I'm busy with Taoyuan affairs. I don't have time, so I don't care."

Shen Gui was the only one left in the room.

"It's against the sky, it's against the sky!"

Shen Gui repeated this sentence repeatedly.

The daughter-in-law finally cooked a pot of noodles. The wife, son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and grandson all ate together in a side room, but no one came to call him to eat.

Originally, he was thinking of waiting for someone to call him, then he would put on some airs, but this time it was all in vain.

He leaned over directly, but he couldn't help but look like this. Without hesitation, he walked out of the house with a cold face and went to a small shop to buy instant noodles. After thinking about it, he did not go home, but came to the village government.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that several old guys had already arrived in advance.

Several people looked at each other, each feeling depressed.

"well……"

A sigh, both of them were silent.

After finishing the instant noodles, there was suddenly a sound of running outside. After a moment, a middle-aged woman opened the door.

This is one of the candidates for Dong'an Po of this generation.

The middle-aged woman's face was full of panic: "Village Chief, it's terrible. A bunch of bastards threw stones at my house, smashed all the windows of my house, and shouted that I should return their school. Oh, tell me, what does this have to do with me? Well……

I went to find their parents, and a group of people tried to beat me with brooms. Fortunately, I ran fast..."

Shen Gui stood up angrily, but became discouraged after a moment.

My own family is like that, and I don’t know how many families in the village feel resentful.

Several people looked at each other and were speechless again.

The phone dinged. Shen Gui pressed the answer button, and the loud voice of Township Chief Wang came out: "Shen Gui, I can tell you that several surrounding villages have heard about this matter, and several village chiefs said they would take people to find it. Just talk about it and figure it out for yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Gui looked around and saw that the faces of the dozen old guys were already a little panicked.

One person swallowed his saliva and said with a sneer: "Well, I just remembered that I have to go home to take care of the children. I'll leave first."

"Hey, my wife is not feeling well. I have to go back and take care of her."

"I'm leaving too."

In a few minutes, everyone was gone. Shen Gui let out a long sigh.

well……

Early the next morning, Lu Qingliang's cell phone rang. When the call was connected, Chief Wang's respectful voice came out.

"Mr. Lu, the misunderstanding is now solved. Shen Gui has figured it out. They have agreed to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau. This, this, the school must be built..."

"I see."

Lu Qingliang smiled and hung up the phone. When I arrived at Zhang Dingshan's room, I saw a smile on Zhang Dingshan's face.

"The local security office reported that Shen Gui and other 23 people from Sanshui Village collectively reported to the security office and claimed to cooperate with all actions of the security bureau."

He Wei also walked in at this moment. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and praised: "Qing Liang, I have you. Not bad."

Lu Qingliang smiled and said: "Little things, small things."

Zhang Dingshan said thoughtfully: "However, since the matter here is over, you should go back to the headquarters as soon as possible. You can remotely control the construction of the school."

"Huh?...Oh, okay."

Lu Qingliang agreed glumly.

"Let's go, let's go."

The three of them parted. Lu Qingliang returned to the headquarters, and Zhang Dingshan and He Wei once again brought some security guards to the Sanshui Village Government Courtyard.

This time, Shen Gui and more than 20 people were already waiting here in advance.

The questioning began. This time, Shen Gui and others did not hide anything, but honestly told what they knew from beginning to end.

I was busy until noon the next day before I finished all the questions. After that, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei integrated the twenty-three inquiry records together, and the detailed process of the matter was presented to them.

At this moment, it's time for the regular meeting again. In the video conference room, Lu Ming and Lu Qingliang appeared again.

"Everything about Dong'anpo's place has been investigated. This is what happened."

He Wei sent the file to the video conference room. In Haiye City, Lu Ming downloaded the file, opened it, and started reading.

It was just after the New Year. Lin Shiquan and his wife took seventeen-year-old Lin Shen all the way to Sanshui Village and found Po Dong'an.

According to Shen Gui, the Dong'an woman of that generation had a very high prestige in the village. Although he is the village chief, he is much worse than Dong An Po.

The place where Po Dong'an lives is the sacred hall in the village. The shrine is a bamboo building, which is still there. However, because the inheritance of Dong'an Po has not been finally determined, no one is qualified to live there at this moment.

When the previous generation Dong'anpo was still alive, people in the village who believed in Dong'an God often went to the shrine to serve the gods.

It was said to serve the gods. According to Lu Ming's understanding, it should be regarded as a meeting place. If something happens in the village, the respected elders will gather there to discuss a way to deal with it under the auspices of Dong'an Po and the watchful eyes of Dong'an God.

That day, although nothing happened, Shen Gui still came to Dong'an Po's house to help with some chores, feeding the pigs and chickens and so on. Under such circumstances, Lin Shiquan and three others came to the village.

When they heard that they were looking for Granny Dong'an, the villagers didn't pay much attention. After all, there are too many such things. So someone led them to the bamboo house and met Dong'an Po.

After listening to Lin Shiquan and his wife talk about Lin Shen's situation, and knowing the lingering misfortune that lingered on Lin Shen, and checking Lin Shen's situation in person, Shen Gui clearly remembered that Dong'an Po asked Lin Shiquan and his wife a question at that time. .

"Did you sacrifice this child to the gods when you were pregnant with him?"

Shen Gui remembered that at that time, the faces of Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang changed drastically and they were trembling all over. Afterwards, he knelt down in front of Po Dong'an and begged Po Dong'an to save the child.

Seeing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly.

According to Shen Gui's description, Dong'an Po's words most likely spoke to the hearts of Lin Shiquan and his wife. In other words, the truth of the matter - at least the truth that Lin Shiquan and his wife believe is very likely to be this.

It is very possible that when Zhao Lifang was pregnant and Lin Shen was not yet born, she... really dedicated Lin Shen to the gods. But I didn't expect that Dong'anpo would tell the truth with one word.

Only in this way can we explain why the two people's reaction was so great. After all, the couple had met countless immortals and masters before, but they had never behaved like this before.

only……

Is the source of Lin Shen's bad luck really because his mother, Zhao Lifang, dedicated him to the gods before he was born?

What is the relationship between being dedicated to the gods and being plagued by bad luck?

What kind of god is it? What kind of existence is it? What is the process of making an offering to the gods? How did the gods accept an unborn fetus as a sacrifice?

If this is really the case, then how did Po Dong'an see it? Could it be that there really is some kind of "supernatural" power in this world, and that Dong'anpo and the so-called god both understand and master this supernatural power?

All kinds of questions swirled in Lu Ming's mind.

Shen Gui described that at that time, Lin Shiquan and his wife begged, but Dong'an's mother just refused and said that the child's "destiny" already belonged to the gods. Now, the gods did not take away the child's life, but only took away a little bit of the child's "good luck". "That's all, it's the best result.

Dong'an's mother also advised the couple not to cause trouble. Otherwise, the ending will be even more miserable than it is now.

"Um?"

Lu Ming originally thought that Lin Shen had something extra on him. At this moment, Dong'an Po said that Lin Shen was actually missing something.

Anything in excess is bad luck. Something less is good luck.

But from the end result, there is no difference between the two. And, if we use scientific thinking to judge this matter, that is, we believe that luck does not exist, and the essence of luck is only probability and statistical deviation, then there is still no difference whether there is more bad luck or less good luck.

Dong'anpo refused, but Lin Shiquan and his wife still refused to give up. Obviously, they have identified Dong'an Po as someone who is truly capable and can really help them.

Shen Gui described that Lin Shiquan and his wife discussed for a while and finally put forward the conditions.

The two announced that they would donate one million human coins to Dong'an God and help Dong'an God shape a statue and build an altar.

Sanshui Village is a remote and poor village. Although they believe in Dong'an God, the villagers obviously cannot afford to build a statue for Dong'an God. At this moment, faced with millions of wealth and the temptation to create statues for gods, Dong'an Po finally agreed to the couple after hesitating.

Dong'anpo knew that this matter was extremely dangerous and might even lead to her own death. Shen Gui described that before making the final decision, Dong'anpo summoned the elderly in the village to the bamboo house for discussion. Some people were in favor and some were against it. In the end, it was Dong'an Po who decided to take over the business.

Dong'anpo said that she already had a premonition that her life span would be short. If you can create statues and altars for the gods before you die, your life will be worthwhile.

After it was confirmed, Dong'anpo held a ceremony to communicate with the God of Dong'an and received divine enlightenment, and the God agreed to her request.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing. But Dong'anpo looked solemn.

Shen Gui described that Dong'an Po once again called Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang, and then told them something.

Dong'an God has agreed to take action to regain the child's lost "good luck" from the evil god. But, this requires a medium.

And this medium is the lives of Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang.
