Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Light the firecrackers further away, otherwise if they bounce onto the car it won't be good."

Wang Changgen held firecrackers in one hand and a cigarette in the other, preparing to light the firecrackers, when Li Xiulan reminded him.

She was afraid the firecrackers would explode against the car body, scratching the car they just bought back, that would be bad.

But Wang Changgen said:

"Don't gossip, I know how to light them."

He thought to himself, if the firecrackers aren't lit near the car, would worshipping the gods still have sincerity?

For example, entering a temple to pray to gods, not burning incense inside the temple but running far outside to burn incense, it definitely wouldn't be efficacious.

However he also felt Li Xiulan's words had some reason, if firecrackers exploded against the car body and scratched the paint, that would look bad, repairing the car would probably cost quite a bit of money.

Can't throw the firecrackers too far, but also don't want to scratch the car body, what to do?

Finally Wang Changgen's mind turned, he thought of a clever idea.

Throw the firecrackers under the car, wouldn't that prevent scratching the car body?

The car bottom is all sheet metal, it shouldn't catch fire.

Besides, even if the car bottom gets scratched, others can't see it, no need to spend money on repairs, can still drive it.

So he lit the firecrackers and threw them into the car's chassis.

"Crackle pop!!"

The firecrackers started exploding.

A cloud of black smoke exploded out from under the car.

Wang Changgen was still feeling pleased with his clever idea.

But then he discovered, why hasn't the black smoke dissipated for a long time?

Instead it rose up thicker and thicker.

"Bad, the car caught fire!"

It was still Li Xiulan who reacted first, shouting loudly.

Only then did Wang Changgen's face twitch, the cigarette in his mouth falling down.

"Dashan, Erhai, come quick to put out the fire, the car caught fire!"

Li Xiulan ran to the firewood room to get water buckets while shouting.

At this time Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai were in the living room drinking congee.

This morning they set off early in the morning to return home, until now they still hadn't eaten breakfast.

So after returning home, they parked the car outside the courtyard, then went to the living room to eat breakfast, as for worshipping the car, burning incense and firecrackers, that was left to their parents to do.

But they never expected, just stepping away for a moment, not watching with their own eyes, such a big incident would happen!

The two brothers were drinking chicken offal porridge, hearing mother suddenly shout, they hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed out.

Even Wang Xiaohua who was studying in the room also hurriedly rushed out.

Only to see the small sedan's chassis emitting thick black smoke.

The two brothers didn't say a word, went to the firewood room to get water buckets, got basins, fetched water to extinguish the fire.

Wang Changgen was also desperately fetching water to put out the fire.

But one basin one bucket of water, intermittently splashing, simply couldn't put out the fire.

Wang Xiaohua saw this, hurriedly took out a roll of water pipe from the courtyard, connected it to the tap to spray water.

Fortunately new rural construction, every household installed taps, otherwise one basin of water after another to put out the fire, when would it end?

Also Wang Xiaohua said to Wang Dashan:

"Quickly go get the canvas covering the rice straw in the courtyard and cover the car with it!"

Wang Dashan didn't understand why cover the car with canvas, but still hurriedly went to get the canvas.

After covering the car, isolating most of the air, then spraying water on the canvas, the fire quickly died down.

But most of the car's chassis was already burnt charred black.

Quite a lot of the white paint on the car body was also smoked black.

Don't know if the engine was burnt out, if it was burnt out, that would be directly scrapped.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai seeing this, both felt heartache.

"It's just worshipping a god? How did you burn the car, really convinced by you!" Wang Dashan couldn't help but blame.

Li Xiulan's face was full of speechlessness:

"I told him to light firecrackers far away, he wouldn't listen, even threw the firecrackers under the car!"

Wang Changgen's whole person was stunned, a dazed and dejected appearance, this car burnt like this, he was more heartbroken than anyone, because what was destroyed wasn't just this car, but also his face!

He hadn't boasted little to outsiders about his son buying a car, now the car driven back the first day got burnt, wouldn't others laugh their teeth off?

"I thought throwing firecrackers under the car would be fine, after all the car bottom is all sheet metal, didn't expect it would actually catch fire..."

Wang Changgen defended himself so, tone pale and powerless.

Wang Erhai cried and laughed:

"Who told you the car bottom is all sheet metal! The car bottom also has wiring, the wiring outside generally has plastic casing wrapped around it! That catches fire most easily!"

"I thought..." Wang Changgen still wanted to continue explaining.

Wang Dashan, however, loudly rebuked:

"You think you think, you think your whole life, doing nothing but self-righteous stupid things!"

Wang Zhanggen was rebuked until his eyes turned red, he was about to cry, like a little child, at a loss.

"Alright alright, stop scolding him, he didn't do it on purpose either, this car burned, he feels worse than you all, you don't know, before you all came back, he was everywhere boasting you bought a car, now the car burned, he'll probably become a laughingstock."

Li Xiulan, after all, is Wang Zhanggen's wife, she understands Wang Zhanggen very well.

"Can this car still be repaired?"

Wang Zhanggen asked this one sentence at this time.

Wang Dashan kept a straight face and said: "Don't know, I'm not a professional, can only file insurance first, see if insurance pays or not."

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"If it can be repaired, repair costs I'll pay, Dashan, Erhai, I'm sorry to you!"

Speaking to here, Wang Zhanggen fiercely gave himself a slap.

Wang Xiaohua seeing this, couldn't help but sigh and laugh.

How ignorant must one be, to commit such a low-level laughable mistake.

Now it's good, a newly bought car not long ago, just driven back to hometown, less than a day, personally burned to scrap by Wang Zhanggen, let's see how he still struts everywhere?

"You afterwards don't go everywhere randomly boasting, be a bit low-key, everywhere randomly boasting, that will influence feng shui fortune, if you hadn't randomly boasted outside, perhaps today wouldn't have burned this car, now only burning the car counts as good, you afterwards if continue everywhere randomly boasting, who knows Dashan Erge's companies might all be blown away by you."

Wang Xiaohua to Wang Zhanggen spoke thus.

He knew speaking science speaking reason cannot persuade Wang Zhanggen, only using feng shui fortune this set to speak with him, can he listen in.

As expected, Wang Zhanggen heard these words, also felt reasonable, so hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice:

"Good good, afterwards I never again go outside randomly speak, all my fault, I really deserve to die!"

Right at this moment!

Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen couple arrived.

"How did this happen?"

The two of them, originally wanted to come discuss grave relocation matter.

Last night busy drinking, didn't speak this matter.

Unexpectedly just arrived at Wang Zhanggen's home, saw this tragic scene.

They saw Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai's newly driven back car, actually burned, surprised aside, couldn't help some petty gloating, because their son didn't buy a car.

"Wang Zhanggen this stupid goods, burning firecrackers burned the car."

Li Xiulan not at all giving Wang Zhanggen face, directly called him stupid goods.

Wang Zhanggen at this time wished he could find a ground crack to drill into, he also couldn't refute anything, because firecrackers were personally burned by him, he even if again how dead-want-face, also no face to refute.

"How could it be like this, this too unlucky right! Younger brother, looks like our feng shui, indeed has a problem ah, old man's grave, must urgently relocate!"

Wang Zhangtian borrowing topic to play along, to Wang Zhanggen spoke thus.

Wang Zhanggen repeatedly nodded:

"Yes yes yes, must urgently relocate grave, too unlucky! Feng shui definitely has a problem!"

Wang Zhanggen also felt it was grave ground had a problem, otherwise he impossible would burn the car.

As for himself, has problems, but problems not big.

He blames heaven blames earth, blames others blames society, blames ghosts gods blames ancestors, never goes to blame himself.

Self did wrong, that definitely has dirty things secretly making trouble.

"Before wasn't it said, after Mid-Autumn Festival pass then relocate grave? Then tomorrow go dig old man out."

Wang Zhangtian however said:

"Geography Master set date is October 4th, tomorrow only October 1st, advance several days dig out, this lets old man's bones, wind dine dew sleep several days, afraid not too good right?"

Wang Zhanggen however said:

"Don't mind these, first dig out speak, when time comes 4th bury again, just afraid not dig out, continue influence our feng shui, will happen even more unlucky things, I can't wait even a day!"

Wang Zhanggen attitude extremely firm, acted even more urgent than Wang Zhangtian.
