The Big Landlord

There are a lot of things to pay attention to when building a new house in the village. When you demolish the house, you have to choose a date. When you build the next foundation, you also have to choose an auspicious day. Although you don't believe in this, Wang Ben still went to invite the Onmyoji. It didn't matter. In practical terms, do as the Romans do when you are in town, so that you can have peace of mind.

Onmyoji's surname is Huang, commonly known as Master Huang. Everyone usually calls him Master Huang. He is from another team in Hetai Village. He and his group of disciples are very famous in several nearby villages. They are no different from ordinary people. Marry, farm, and have children. Occasionally, I help people calculate their days and check their feng shui. Whenever someone has a happy wedding, they put on their Taoist robes and robes, chant sutras, and perform rituals.

Master Huang held the compass in his hand and walked around the house of Wang Ben's family several times, looking left and right from time to time to look at the surrounding terrain. He even went to the hillside behind the house to make gestures, counting with his fingers, and murmuring words for a while, and then said seriously Said: "Your house cannot be moved this year!"

"Why?" Wang Ben asked puzzledly.

Master Huang frowned and replied matter-of-factly: "If you move it, it will destroy the feng shui of this land."

"..." What kind of logic is this? Wang Ben curled his lips and said helplessly, "But my house can't survive without building it. If there are a few more heavy rains, it will collapse."

"Oh, then let me help you take a look," Master Huang nodded without changing his expression. He picked up the compass and circled around the house again. After turning to a corner behind the house, he looked around, took out a small book and flipped through it carefully. look.

Wang Ben sneaked up and looked behind him. Your sister turned out to be Ben Huangli.

He chuckled secretly and said nothing. It is not easy for people to eat this bowl of rice. After all, it is considered a legitimate industry and it is still serving the people.

After wandering around for two more times, Master Huang gave the answer again and said solemnly: "It can be demolished after 32 days, the foundation can be laid after 54 days, and the house can be started after 86 days."

The time suddenly advanced so far, but Wang Ben still couldn't wait. He took out five hundred yuan and held it in his hand. He secretly stuffed it into Master Huang's hand and said with a low voice: "Master Huang, please help me again." , preferably it can be dismantled tomorrow, and the foundation can be laid in a few days. Construction can start after that. If it is taken care of, I will thank you profusely."

Master Huang took the money naturally, glanced at it secretly, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and said calmly: "Well... I'll do the math then."

After a lot of fussing, the final result was given. The demolition of the house started the day after tomorrow, and the foundation was laid a week later. The ground could be broken the next day after the foundation was laid. Master Huang did not fully follow Wang Ben’s suggestions, but fully It shows professionalism and has to be admired.

At this time, Wang Ben was completely able to accept it. He paid Master Huang another thousand yuan, which was considered to have set the date for building the house. He bought an unreasonable auspicious day for 1,500 yuan, for no other reason. Just to seek good luck.

A plastic shed was set up in the bamboo forest on the side, and Uncle Zhou and others were invited to help move the furniture and appliances from the house to the shed. This was the disadvantage of using the old homestead to build a new house. There was no place to live in or pile things for the time being.

There are not many things in the house, and some of the old furnishings are no longer needed. After the new house is completed, they will all be replaced with new ones. We don’t grow food at home, and we usually buy very little. It’s very fast, only half a day. By that time, the whole house was empty.

A large tent was set up in a place with dense bamboo leaves. For a while, Wang Ben and Linglong temporarily settled here, with insects and birds as their companions, flowers, grass and green leaves as their neighbors, so they could stay grounded and enjoy themselves. This pure natural scenery.

"Tailwind!"

With a cry,

Fan walls were knocked down.

"Boom!"

After bursts of muffled sound, bits of rubble were scattered and bursts of dust were flying. It had been built for more than thirty years, and the house that had raised Wang Ben for more than ten years from his birth to his upbringing was finally razed to the ground. It is about to usher in a new era. Come on new bricks and tiles.

After smoothing the ground, the construction team that had been contacted earlier officially came on stage. According to the idea discussed with Wang Ben in advance, they used white lime to draw an area map on the ground. Where are the living rooms and bedrooms, where are the toilets and septic tanks, and where are the toilets and septic tanks? It's the backyard, the entertainment place, where is the pigsty... Oh, I don't want the pigsty anymore, I don't want to feed that thing anymore.

After a while, a large area map was drawn out very clearly. It was clear at a glance which Ding is Dingmao which is Mao. Wang Ben did not design according to the small apartment layout in the city, but instead made it into a retro style house. Being in a rural area, each room must be large and spacious to have an authentic rural style.

After all the preparatory work is completed, it is not possible to move for the time being. The ground can't be officially broken until the foundation is laid.

The sky is sunny, the air is exceptionally fresh, the breeze blows by, and the coolness hits you. Even with the blazing sun shining on you, you suddenly feel less hot, and there is more fragrance of flowers floating around. Master Huang As expected of a professional, the day for the foundation was chosen well.

Master Huang came to Wang Ben's house again. Every few minutes, he would look at the watch on his wrist.

When the time came, he took out a pair of wooden hexagrams from his arms. This hexagram was made of the stem of a big tree that was grounded. It looked like it had been used for many years and had been polished very smooth, giving it a special meaning.

Standing upright with one palm, he muttered words. After a long period of time, he suddenly threw the wooden hexagram in his hand to the ground and shouted at the same time: "Holy Hexagram!"

"Crack!"

The wooden hexagrams fell to the ground, one facing up and the other facing down. They were exactly the holy hexagrams mentioned by Master Huang.

Master Huang also divined the Yin and Yang hexagrams respectively, and he hit the mark three times in a row. The hexagram was completed in one go, which was an extraordinary success.

Pick up the stones that had been prepared earlier, wrap them twice with red cloth, and follow the planned lime diagram to the line in the center of the main room.

I personally used the shovel to pry out a small hole in the line, put the stone upright in the hole, and then put in a few shovels of soil to tie it firmly.

At this point, the foundation laying ceremony is officially completed, and Master Huang has completed all his work. There is no need for him to be involved in future house construction.

In the afternoon, tractors carrying strips of stone drove into Xiushui Bay one after another. The tractor roads had not yet been paved from house to house. After unloading the strips of stone at the entrance of the village, they ran to the quarry in silence. These strips of stone were For laying the foundation, Wang Ben does not need to choose it himself. He can just pay directly with the tractor master. It is really simple and convenient.

As the construction team's handymen used wheelbarrows to transport the stones one by one, on the second day of the foundation laying ceremony, the day of groundbreaking also followed, and the construction team began to lay the foundation in full swing.

The vigorous house building project finally started officially.
