Fourth Master Chen looked at his son and grandson beside him, then at the dark crowd of onlookers, shook his head and said: "We all know the Chinese people from far and near in this mountain town, including my relatives and friends from the Chen family who have come all the way. I have

I follow your instructions and ask those who have babies to keep their wives in check and not allow them to come. Besides, I have arranged for so many people to investigate, and there is no way that any of these people are pregnant with babies today!"

"Something's wrong, there must be someone with a baby!" Qin Shaonan shouted.

If he hadn't chopped the chips again, he would never have imagined that there was an evil spirit trying to break the Luban spell that he had blessed!

When he was building the beams of a house, he would definitely instruct the owner of the building that no pregnant women were allowed to come and watch within ten feet.

Mr. Chen's family had also made preparations in advance. They had arranged for more than thirty relatives of the Chen family to stand guard at the intersection. Anyone who came to watch would be identified and asked by these people on guard one by one. If there was a pregnant woman coming in,

If she comes, she should politely refuse on the spot and let her leave.

It was precisely because it was so watertight, similar to an airport security check, that Qin Shaonan did not expect that something would slip through the net in the first place.

But now, after he took a closer look, there was no doubt that there were pregnant women within ten feet (thirty meters) of the scene watching the beaming!

Qin Shaonan immediately shouted: "Fourth Master, please arrange for someone to go and find out immediately. There must be a pregnant woman among these onlookers. Tell her to leave quickly, otherwise the beam will not be upright!"

Fourth Master Chen and his sons were anxious and annoyed. If, as Carpenter Qin said, there were pregnant women among the crowd, then they would have to blame themselves for not taking the "security check" measures in place!

At that moment, Mr. Chen’s eldest son stood on a stool and shouted to the crowd in Chinese:

"Dear fellow villagers and friends who have come from afar, my old Chen family has said hello to everyone in advance. I am really sorry that pregnant women cannot come to our house to install beams. This is what Master Qin, a great carpenter in Punar Valley, personally told us.

.

"Now, the beams on our new house are not straight. Master Qin suspects that there is a pregnant woman here, so please be aware that it belongs to a pregnant woman. Please stay away first and leave here so that our old Chen family can go smoothly to install the beams today."

That’s right, I will come to Lao Chen personally to apologize afterward!”

After that, he shouted again in English. After all, some Chinese were born here, and some of them had no language environment and could no longer speak Chinese at all.

The onlookers at the scene suddenly started to make a fuss. These people were men, women, old and young. You looked at me, I looked at you, and for a while, they all shook their heads.

Seeing that the crowd had no reaction for a long time, the boss of the Chen family immediately shouted: "If you are a pregnant lady, for the sake of the good fortune of our old Chen family today, please leave voluntarily. We are grateful to you, old Chen!"

"Old Chen, no one here is pregnant! We have heard your greetings beforehand, no one will be so wicked, don't worry!" a man in the crowd shouted.

"But this..." The eldest son of the Chen family immediately looked at his father, and then at Qin Shaonan on the house frame.

Qin Shaonan was also stunned. Looking at the pieces of sawdust still floating in the court, he paused and shouted: "Which woman with a baby is so shameless? If you refuse to leave, I, Old Qin, will

We need to ask the Patriarch to uphold justice!"

In the past, once a carpenter said "please ask the founder to seek justice", it meant that he was offended.

For carpenters who know Luban Shu, the subtext of this sentence is: Don't blame me for using Luban Shu, I curse you for not having a good end!

The meaning of this sentence is not unfamiliar to the Chinese in Punal Valley. After all, most of the Chinese here are engaged in woodworking or woodworking-related industries.

But even though Qin Shaonan threatened to use his "killer", no pregnant woman in the crowd stood up and left.

The descendants of the Chen family who were on guard were also searching the crowd one by one, hoping to find a pregnant woman. Although the belly of a newly pregnant woman cannot be seen, there seems to be no such newly pregnant woman here who is willing to

Offended the big carpenter and still stayed here.

"I said, Carpenter Qin, are you too worried? I don't think there are pregnant women here, right?" Mr. Chen's face turned pale, and he could no longer hide his dissatisfaction with Qin Shaonan in his words.

"There's still one place you haven't checked!" a young man's voice rang out from the crowd.

Everyone looked around and saw a well-proportioned Chinese boy with fine features walking out of the crowd. It was he who was shouting.

"Xiao Ling!" Qin Shaonan, Feng Tiao and Tong Zi shouted in unison.

"What do you call 'Xiao Ling' or 'Little Master Uncle'? No matter how big or small you are!" Qin Shaonan immediately turned around and gave Feng Tiao and Tong Zi a blank look.

The two young men, who were both older than Li Ling, were squatting on the roof, staring at each other. They had no idea what the junior uncle, who was still studying, had come out to join in the fun.

"Fourth Master, look at the creek in front of your door. There are several hovercrafts and some white people rowing boats in the creek. Let me look at the distance. This creek is no more than thirty meters away from the foundation of your house.

"Li Ling said and pointed to the creek.

Everyone looked around, and sure enough, several small boats emerged from the mountain stream at some point, and there were some foreigners sitting on them in twos and threes.

"Oh, we forgot about this stream!" The eldest son of the Chen family clapped his hands and immediately called to a child of the Chen family, asking them to go forward and ask those foreigners.

Because this creek is close to the Punal Valley Mountains, when the weather is good, many white people will come here for vacation and leisure, and even swim and boat in the creek.

However, the Chen family only paid attention to the people coming on the road in front of their house. They never thought that there would be tourists rowing in the creek in front of their house!

But at this moment, a girl's voice sounded: "Hey, Li!"

Standard East Coast American English.

Li Ling turned around and saw a white girl standing up in a small boat by the stream and waving to him.

"Alice!" Li Ling was stunned. There was a lady sitting in front of Alice. Judging from her age and face, she should be Alice's mother.

"Hey, Alice, why are you here?" Li Ling walked up and asked.

"I was boating here with my mother, and I happened to see what kind of ceremony you Chinese were doing. There were so many people around, and it seemed very grand, so I stopped to take a look, and then I just discovered you. What a coincidence!" Alice figure

Tall and plump, although there are some freckles on his face, his youthful and beautiful appearance and well-developed figure are not concealed.

"Li, you broke up with me last night. You promised me that you would dance with me at the graduation prom, but you didn't do it. How should you compensate me?"

"Alice, Li is a genius in Manglai Town. Don't talk to him in this tone!" Alice's mother smiled at Li Ling from the side, "Hey, Li, hello!"

"Hi, Mrs. Grant!" Li Ling waved to her and noticed something was wrong with her expression. For a moment, the teachings from the "Fate" chapter of "The Book of Lu Ban" that had been passed down in his mind came to his mind.

Mrs. Grant is on the thin side, so her belly is not obvious, and she is still sitting up. But the fortune lines on her forehead, the heavenly atmosphere, and the trend of the mountain roots...

"Mrs. Grant, are you... uh, are you feeling a little unwell?" After a while, Li Ling asked, but his body was trembling slightly.

"My mother is already thirty-three weeks pregnant. In twenty days, haha, I will have a brother!" Alice answered before Mrs. Grant could speak.

This white girl's classmate has been in love with Li Ling since the eleventh grade. Her family situation is no secret to Li Ling. Her mother remarried. It is said that she got pregnant and gave birth to Alice when she was seventeen. Now

He is only thirty-four years old.

But without Alice having to say anything, Li Ling had already figured out that her mother was pregnant!

I'm afraid that Mrs. Grant screwed up Mr. Chen's construction of his new house today because he went over and over to fix the beams incorrectly!

Sure enough, at this moment, a child of the Chen family came over and asked in English: "I'm sorry, but this is very important to us. Are any of you pregnant?"

"Uh-huh, I am. How can I help you?" Mrs. Grant looked at him curiously.

The young man swayed, his eyes suddenly widened, and nervously, he turned his head behind him and shouted in Chinese: "Found it, right here!!!"

"What is he doing?" Alice and her mother looked at Li Ling at the same time.

"Well, they are celebrating the completion of their new house today. Any pregnant woman who comes to congratulate her will be given a blessing of ten dollars. Of course, if she can leave immediately." Li Ling patted the man on the shoulder and said in Chinese.

: "Brother, give her ten dollars and tell them to get out of here!"

At this time, a group of Chen family descendants came over one after another and gathered around, chattering and chattering.

In the strange eyes of Alice and Mrs. Grant, the man took out a ten-dollar bill and offered it: "This is our etiquette here. You should leave immediately after receiving the money. I wish you and your baby peace."

healthy!"

"Do Chinese people still have this kind of etiquette?" Mrs. Grant took the money and looked at her daughter and then at Li Ling.

Li Ling nodded and smiled and said: "As far as I know, that's the case. You can leave here now and go boating downstream. Wow, with the blessing of ten dollars, you can have a big meal!"

Alice felt very good about the pie falling from the sky: "Haha, Li, it's always a surprise to see you. Let's go first. Remember to give me a call! By the way, I will host a friends party at home next week

Party, I will call you then, and you must not run away again!"

"OK, but as promised, I won't eat your grilled South American shrimps." Li Ling shrugged at Alice and smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.

"Haha! Then I'll let my mommy bake it." Alice took her mother's hand, said goodbye to Li Ling, and then rowed the boat down the creek.

Li Ling and the Chen family members immediately returned to the house and heard Qin Shaonan shout: "Xiao Ling, are you sure the pregnant woman is the white woman?"

"Yes, we are all sure." Li Ling nodded and looked at the building again, but saw that the scarlet air current was still spreading in Luban's court. When he looked back, Alice had already left the building in a small boat.

It's nearby, at least five or sixty meters away.

"Then this is troublesome!" Qin Shaonan sighed on the roof, "The methods for solving the problem of upper beams passed down by our ancestors are only for us Chinese. This foreigner is a tribe of Yi and Di. Our ancestors said something

"The offenders of the Yi and Di will definitely cause trouble for future generations, and they should be punished for their evil reasons."

After hearing this, Li Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly recalled the Luban book in his mind. In the "Wooden Classics" section of the Liang Shang Liang Method, there was indeed this sentence!

In order to avoid future troubles, the evil cause should be punished...that is to say, the best way to break this evil is to kill the evil cause rather than to eliminate it!

Pregnant women have twins in one body, one life and two bodies, and the stacked Qi field will reverse the carpenter's fortune. In Luban Shu, it is always the evil spirit that destroys Luban's fortune, and the cause of the evil is the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly.

.

If it is a Chinese pregnant woman, you only need to ask her to leave the scene ten feet away, and then cast a magic spell to remove the evil spirits, and the new house can be installed smoothly.

But now, the pregnant woman who was tricked by Third Brother Chongsha into Luban’s trap is actually a European and American Caucasian!

That is to say, in order to maintain the luck of the Liang family and to ensure that the Chen family's Liang family can be successfully completed without leaving any further troubles, the only way is to kill the fetus in Mrs. Grant's belly.
