Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Dabao jumped off the horse and walked to the white fox. The white fox stared at him with its small eyes, waving its two little paws repeatedly.

Dabao squatted down and touched its little head. The white fox squeaked happily twice.

Dabao stretched out his palm. He had his back to Li Zhenfeng, so he wasn't worried about him seeing it. There was a pool of spiritual water in Dabao's palm.

The white fox cried out in joy, lowered its head and drank all the water from the spiritual well in a few gulps.

Dabao said softly, "Since that's what the legend says, I'll make you the General Guarding the Palace. I hope it will be helpful to you."

The white fox barked twice, bowed with its little paws again and again, then turned and ran away.

Dabao laughed and scolded: "Little thing, you are too realistic, aren't you?" Just as he was about to get on the horse, the white fox ran back with something in its mouth.

The white fox used its little claws to grab Dabao's pants. Dabao squatted down and spread out his palms. The white fox spit the contents of its mouth into Dabao's hands.

It turned out to be a crystal clear bead that shone with a faint golden light.

Li Zhenfeng, riding on his horse, screamed: "It's Tana, it's Qizhen Tana."

The white fox turned and ran away again. Dabao straightened up and looked at the beads in the moonlight.

"Tana? What's Tana?"

Li Zhenfeng was envious. "Tana is Manchu, meaning 'Eastern Pearl.' Pearls this big could only be worn on the emperor's dragon crown and the empress's phoenix crown during the Qing Dynasty. If this one were worn in the past, it would be priceless."

Dabao's heart almost jumped out of his chest. This Dongzhu was exactly the same size and shape as the one that Kunyuhe brought him back to life. Dabao was scared. He thought that his rebirth was entirely due to the trick of that bead.

The bead in my hand won't take me back, right? No, I have a wife and daughter in this life, my family is still alive, and my family is happy. I don't want to go back.

He trembled as he put the beads away and got on his horse. He was worried that he would appear in the Kunyu River in the next moment.

Dabao is the one who is confused. If Dongzhu wanted to take him back to 2008, he would have been taken back long ago. Why would he still have the chance to worry here?

He couldn't help but touch the Dongzhu in his pocket, but the Dongzhu disappeared in his palm. Dabao was so scared that he quickly lowered his consciousness and looked at the space, but he saw that the Dongzhu was hanging quietly on the lintel of the courtyard.

Dabao finally felt relieved. He turned to look at Li Zhenfeng, and seeing that Li Zhenfeng was still very frightened, he couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Li, this white fox is only slightly human. Those so-called gods and ghosts are just made up by humans. Who has really seen them? You are not so timid, are you?"

Li Zhenfeng said faintly: "I have seen a ghost possessed..."

"What?" Dabao was surprised: "Can you tell me about it?"

Li Zhenfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding: "I saw this with my own eyes. It happened at my grandmother's house. I was eleven years old at the time, and I went with my parents to Shaoguo Town to celebrate my grandfather's sixtieth birthday...

My grandmother lives in Andong, a border town in the northeast. It is also close to Changbai Mountain. There is a small town at the foot of the mountain called Shaoguo Town. This town was originally a small village with only eight households, called Badamen.

Later, starting from the Xianfeng period, people from Shandong and Hebei gradually left Shanhaiguan through the east gate to seek a living outside the pass.

The eight gates are nestled in the mountains and beside the water, with fertile land. More and more people from the border settled here, and gradually it developed into a town.

The town had warehouses, grocery stores, cart inns, and restaurants, but the most common place was the distillery, which was a wine-making workshop. As time went by, the locals called this town Shaoguo Town.

My grandfather's surname is Guan, and his ancestral home is in Shandong. Thirty years ago, he and some fellow villagers crossed the Guandong Pass to the Northeast.

My grandfather settled in Shaoguo Town. He came with two sworn brothers. The three of them bought a house and land, got married, and opened a Shaoguo restaurant. They lived a prosperous life.

My grandfather usually repaired bridges and roads, and did good deeds. He was good in every way, except for one thing: he didn't have many children. After he married my grandmother, he had five daughters in a row. My mother was the fourth child.

At that time, if you didn't have a son, your family would be extinct, and no one would look down on you.

Everyone in this town was gossiping about my grandmother's family and saying all sorts of things. Eventually, they finally had a son, who is my uncle. This way, my grandmother's family didn't become a laughing stock and become extinct.

But my uncle has a bad fate. He was born in a yin year, a yin month and a yin hour. The fortune teller said that the young master of the Guan family was born with pure yin in his eight characters and ten yin in his destiny. His life would not be long. My grandmother's family loved this only son very much and named him Changsheng.

When my uncle was seven years old, he fell seriously ill. My grandfather invited the best doctors within a hundred miles. After examining him, the doctors all shook their heads and said that my uncle would not live for more than a month.

My uncle's illness was getting worse and worse, and the family was helpless. My grandmother, my mother and several sisters cried in secret for countless times, until an old Taoist priest came and told my grandmother's family that my uncle was not an ordinary person, but a ghost messenger from the underworld. Such a person would not live long in the world of the living. If they wanted to live, they had to go into the mountains with him to practice in order to save their lives. My grandmother's family had no choice but to watch with tears in their eyes as the old Taoist priest carried my uncle away.

My uncle has been gone for thirteen years, and the family doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. My grandmother misses her youngest son all day long and sighs all the time.

At that time, my mother and my aunt had already started their own families, and I was eleven years old.

I remember that on the first day of April in 46, it was my grandfather's th birthday. It is customary for us Northeastern people to celebrate the full birthday of the elderly.

So my eldest aunt and my second aunt thought of holding a buffet to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday and make my grandpa happy.

This buffet is the most grand way of entertaining guests in our Northeast. Generally speaking, it lasts for three or seven days. During these days, no matter whether it is relatives, guests, fellow villagers, or even beggars, they can come to the banquet anytime and anywhere. They can eat whenever they come, and there is no need to clear the table every day.

This was supposed to be a happy event, but something went wrong on my grandfather's birthday.

On the day of my grandfather's birthday, his daughter, son-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters, a whole family of more than 20 people surrounded my grandfather and sang and danced. My grandfather was so happy that he even ate half an extra bowl of rice.

At the hour of You, which is now around five in the afternoon, twelve tables were set up in the yard and filled with people, all of whom were relatives, friends, and fellow villagers.

My grandpa sat at the main seat. My grandma was a woman and could not sit at the table, so she went to the back. My mother and my third aunt and my aunt went to the backyard to accompany my grandma. I ate and played with my cousins ​​in the front yard.

Sitting next to my grandfather was his sworn brother Chen Fu. At that time, only one of my grandfather's two sworn brothers, Chen Fu, was left. The other, Li Youcai, had passed away 20 years ago.

Chen Fu also had a large family, but Li Youcai had no children in his life. He was an old bachelor and had no one to see him off when he died. Only my grandfather and his two brothers would burn paper money and send him gifts during festivals such as Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival.

When the time came, the birthday celebration began. When everyone was noisily bowing to the old man, a man came. This man was none other than my uncle, Chai Wang.

To say that my eldest uncle is a good guy is true. The Chai family is a wealthy family in Shaoguo Town. Chai Wang has been studying since he was young. When he grew up, he took care of the family business and married my eldest uncle. They lived a good life at first, but since my eldest uncle's parents died one after another, he got addicted to gambling. In a few years, he lost all the family fortune and became penniless.

Now I rely entirely on my grandma's family for support to barely make ends meet.

It was my grandfather's birthday, and logically he should have come to help out, but my uncle immediately went into the casino and refused to come out. My family knew what kind of person he was, so no one looked for him. But unexpectedly, he came back on this birthday."

Li Zhenfeng's expression softened at this point, and he continued, while Dabao listened intently...
