author:Featured stories

 Liu Pimple and Li Bald head are a pair of small hair, and the two people have been in a lifetime. Seeing that their children have all started a family, it is time to enjoy the blessings, but their troubles have come.

What's bothering? As soon as this man became old, he did not earn money, and he had to ask his children for big and small things, naturally depending on their faces.

On this day, the two people inadvertently talked about the aftermath, and Liu Knot's eyes lit up, saying: "Bald head, why don't we make a life and death pact?" "

Li Guangtou asked, "What is the life-and-death pact?" "

Liu Knot said, "At our age, death is not something to avoid." If I walk in front of you, you send me a pair of door horses; if you come in front of me, I will send you a pair of door horses. "

Li Guangtou listened, and without thinking, he agreed: "Well, we can say it all." "

The horse they are talking about is a local custom, a pair of tall horses tied with paper are separated from the south and tail to the north, and placed not far from the grave, which is called BMW opening the road. Anyone who pays attention to it will tie a pair of doors and horses for the deceased. However, the price of the door horse is not cheap, and the living person can send a pair of door horses to the deceased person, which is a very face-saving thing, and it also proves that the relationship between the two people is extraordinary.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Liu Knot and Li Guangtou originally wanted to secretly accumulate a sum of money, so that when the time came to fulfill their promises, who knew that only two days later, this matter was known to their son. Liu Pimple's son said angrily, "Father, what is the agreement you two have decided?" Don't you know that a pair of door horses costs two or three thousand dollars? I advise you to break the contract with someone early! Hearing this, Liu Pimple was so angry that he didn't catch his breath for half a day.

Li Guangtou's situation was not much better, and his son said lukewarmly: "Father, you need money for medical treatment, money for taking medicine, money for eating and dressing, we don't have long money in the field, and there is no money in the sky. After saying that, he glanced at Li Guang's head obliquely, and added another sentence in a yin tone: "I guess it's a method!" "

Son, why can't Li Guangtou hear the taste? His health was not very good, he was a medicine basket, and he was a straight temper, he couldn't stand it, and he was provoked by his son's words, and he died that night. After learning this news, Liu Pimple was sad, but his son left the words, and people went to hang filial piety, if they wanted to send a pair of door horses, there was no door.

After helping to take care of Li Guangtou's affairs, Liu Knot became seriously ill and did not even get out of bed for several days. Later, the illness finally got better, and the others lost a circle. On this day, after eating breakfast, he left the house trembling and did not return until noon.

The son looked at him and said with a cold face: "Father, you are so old, what are you running blindly?" "

Liu Knot held his breath and said slowly, "I'll go to the ground and walk around, where the air is good." "

The son asked, "Go to my bald uncle's grave, shall you?" "

Liu Pimple said calmly: "I haven't even bought a piece of paper, and I can't turn around?" "

The son stopped talking.

The next day, word spread throughout the village: the hissing of horses and the "clicking" of horses at Li Baldhead's grave last night. Someone went to Li Guangtou's grave the next day to take a look, only to see that there were horseshoe prints everywhere.

After the news spread, people speculated that Li Guangtou was not satisfied with Liu Knot's renegade, which attracted yin horses in the middle of the night, and some people even accused Li Guangtou and Liu Knot's son, saying that they did not give their own Lao Tzu a little face.

Liu Pimple heard his son talk about this matter at lunch, and he said lightly: "People die like lights go out, where can there be such a thing as a yin horse?" "

The son said, "Father, I went to the grave of my bald uncle and looked at it, and it was indeed a horseshoe print." But let's not talk about feeding the horses here, even the chickens can't find two. If it weren't for the Yin Horse, where would this horse come from? "

Liu Pimple did not speak, and his son said uneasily: "Father, do you think this matter will bring disaster to our family?" "

Liu Knot said impatiently, "We didn't invite anyone to provoke anyone, why will disasters come to our house?" "

The son scratched his head and said, "That's what it says, but didn't I let you send a door horse to Uncle Bald?" "

Liu Pi sighed and said, "I've been with your bald uncle all my life, I know what kind of person he is, he won't worry about this little thing." "

The father and son here were talking, and there were footsteps outside the door, and someone pushed the door in, and it turned out to be Li Guangtou's son. He "pounced" and fell to his knees and said, "Uncle Knotty, I'm sorry for you and my father!" "

Liu Hao hurriedly picked him up and asked what was going on, and Li Guangtou's son told him about what happened before his father's death, and after he finished speaking, he cried and said, "Why am I so offended, why did I say that, my father was angry with me!" "

At this time, Liu Pimple was calm, and he said slowly: "I have been good with the bald brother for a lifetime, this friendship, not to mention sending a pair of door horses, is to send eight to ten pairs is also worth it." To tell you two, we have discussed well, the door horse is two people sharing, who goes first who enjoys first, wait until the ground is gathered, and then one person divides one horse. But you two, just looking at this little money, but it chilled the hearts of our old brothers! "

These two sons were ashamed of this.

Liu Knot saw that the words were almost finished, stood up and said, "Let's go, I will lead you two to the grave to have a look, and by the way, make offerings." "

The two sons went with Liu Tou to Li Guangtou's grave. When I arrived at the ground, I saw that the grave was indeed full of horseshoe prints. Liu Knot didn't care so much, lit the incense, knelt majestically in front of the grave, and said with tears: "Bald brother, you can go with peace of mind, it won't be long before I meet you, our brothers' sons will definitely get two doors and horses in front of my grave, and then we brothers will have one horse for each of them!" "

The two sons also put on incense and promised at the grave that they would fulfill Li Guangtou's last wish.

The three of them left after the worship, but after a while, Liu Pimple quietly returned to the cemetery alone. He pulled out a small box from the soil, and inside was a palm-sized Walkman, which Liu Pimple usually used to listen to plays. It turned out that he had stored the horse's hissing and running sounds inside, and the Walkman also had a timing function, which only sounded in the middle of the night. And the horseshoe print, is Liu Knot made a horseshoe-shaped board, recently the village came to a juggling team, Liu Knot asked a person in the team who can walk upside down to take the board to the cemetery to walk back and forth.

Liu Knot put away the Walkman, sighed, and said, "Brother Baldhead, if I don't do this, our agreement will not be realized, I really can't stand you..."
