I'm not afraid, what am I afraid of! First, I don't commit corruption; second, I don't corrupt; third, I don't kill people and set fire; fourth, I don't fight for power and gain; fifth, I don't deceive the world, steal fame, and play mahjong. What should I be afraid of? The truth. Seven barrels, play good cards early! What are you doing? Interview? Just tell me publicly, if you want to put a few sentences in front of me, write them, and then sell them to some tabloid to defraud me of a few bucks. When you are short of money, you come to me. I usually hold my head up like a rooster. Why! You tell the truth. I am no different than you. These days... Exchange it! Dog shit (nine tubes). You almost ruined my deck of cards when you spoke. Ninety thousand. Isn't it just playing mahjong? Okay, let me tell you a few words, and I will give you a commission of 10% of the royalties. Did you know that 2008 is the year of Mahjong? Who said that? The chairman said.

Cross the Qingyi River to the west, go into the mountains, keep walking, cross Jigong Ridge and go south, there is a place called Tiantang Mountain. Three counties are bounded by each other. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. There is only one small town within a hundred miles, also called Tiantang Town. If you get a good name, you will live a happy life. Common people say: When water flows into the mountains, princes come out from generation to generation. Tiantang Town is surrounded by sand rivers, with green mountains and clear waters that flow all year round. It's strange to say that there are eighty-one ditches around the town, and there is water in the ditches, which merge into three sandy rivers and surround the town, but I have never heard of the town being flooded. This area has been a place to avoid chaos and seek peace since ancient times. Enemies who are frustrated in the officialdom and want to hunt down those who see through the world are often willing to go into the mountains to support themselves and stay away from the hustle and bustle. Therefore, Tiantang Mountain has a small population, but its surnames are mixed, accounting for half of the surnames of hundreds of families. They don't continue their genealogy, don't ask about their origins, and don't pay homage to their ancestors. They think that is something that will cause trouble and attract attention.

I am the adopted son of an exorcist. I served two years and seven months in prison for carrying a vat. On the day I was released from prison, my adoptive mother passed away. The double cavities between her and her adoptive father had been built when his adoptive father passed away years earlier. However, the township government did not allow burial and required 100% cremation. They said it was to develop tourism. When I was worried to death, my childhood friend gave me an idea: go to the crematorium to get a certificate. Where does the crematorium certification come from? Carry a dead man and burn him. Where do dead people come from? Hehe, the secret must not be revealed. Anyway, from then on I got into the business of selling dead people. Cross the Qingshui River and head south, towards the mountains, keep going, go over Jigong Ridge and then go west, all the way to the west, to the end of the sunset, there is a place called Tiantang Mountain. Three provinces border this place, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, deep mountains and old valleys, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It has been a place to avoid chaos and seek peace since ancient times.
