Chapter 5


Chapter 5

The squatting old man slowly stood up. After he stood up straight, Li Juxiang suddenly felt that the other man's back seemed not as hunched as before.

"Hey?"

The old man also patted his waist, thinking that Nanny Liu was really smart. She hadn't even spoken seriously yet. Just after entering her house, she felt much more relaxed.

He didn't stop any longer and walked straight inside.

"Marquis Cui, you and Marquis Xiaoyuan go and eat."

After giving instructions, she followed him into the back room. Liu Jinxia had bad eyesight, so she had to be there to help record the conversation.

"Brother Yuanhou, shall we continue eating?"

"Yeah."

Li Zhuiyuan responded. Although the discomfort on his body had not faded, he still tried to take steps forward.

Taking one step further, Li Zhuiyuan felt that the coolness of the caress on his head had slowed down, and the feeling of ice on the left side of his face also slowly faded away.

But as he took the second step, Li Zhuiyuan suddenly discovered that the coolness had not disappeared. The coldness on his left face reappeared, and a piece of ice seemed to be pressed against his right shoulder.

When he took the third step out, the coldness on the left side of his face disappeared again and moved to his left shoulder. At the same time, the coldness on his right shoulder remained.

Li Zhuiyuan took the fourth step. Before he could even take a step forward, the coldness on his shoulders suddenly intensified.

"Huh..."

Li Zhuiyuan took a deep, trembling breath and slowly retracted his feet. The coldness on his shoulders returned to the previous level.

He couldn't see anything, but he could imagine that there was an old lady half-crouching in front of him. She put her right hand on the left side of his face, her left hand on his head and stroked it, and said:

"This little boy is so cute."

As she walked forward, the old lady also changed her posture, and her hands gradually fell on her shoulders. This was an action of using strength to support herself.

If she continues to move forward, she will climb up.

She,

I want to carry it myself!

……

The shady room on the first floor is Liu Jinxia's office.

The room is very big, but after entering, it feels very cramped.

Wooden boxes were built up and surrounded, occupying 70% to 80% of the space. They were filled with various magical instruments, scriptures and statues.

If you open a few boxes, you can see Laojun and Buddha holding hands inside, and you can also see that under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva is not a boy but Jesus on the cross.

In her early years, Liu Jinxia also had a dream, responded to the call of the new era, and wanted to combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to carve out her own path.

It's a pity that the backward markets surrounding Heather Town are unable to accept such trendy things.

Liu Jinxia had no choice but to accept her fate and returned to the traditional image of a blind fortune teller.

Therefore, all that can be used in this room is a black lacquered wooden table, a few benches and two sticks of white wax.

"Hiss..."

Liu Jinxia wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. The smoke from the wax made her eyes uncomfortable. It seemed that the candle would have to be removed in the future.

At this time, the old man sitting opposite also finished his statement. He looked at Liu Jinxia with respect in his eyes.

After coming here, not only did my hunchback feel much relieved, my brain was no longer groggy, and I could speak much more fluently.

The old man's surname is Niu, and his name is Niu Fu. He is from Shigang Town next door. He came here today to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Yesterday, his brother Niu Rui came here for the same thing. Liu Jinxia also went to Li Weihan's house after receiving him.

Two brothers and a little sister from the Lao Niu family. Their father passed away early, and it was my mother who raised them up as a widow.

Nowadays, they themselves are all over fifty and have become grandparents.

Half a year ago, my mother passed away.

But since the funeral, the troubles at home between the three Niu brothers and sisters have not stopped. Either one is sick or the other has an accident.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but the frequency became higher and higher and the severity became more and more serious.

Not long ago, Niu Rui's son fell into a ditch while riding his bike home from get off work. He broke several ribs and would have almost died if passers-by hadn't caught him in time. Niu Fu's hunchback also became more severe and exaggerated, and seven people from the same village The eighty-year-old hunchback is not as serious as him. You must know that half a year ago, he was not hunchback at all.

In addition, the three brothers and sisters would have dreams about their mother from time to time, so they suspected that I was still missing her, so they planned to do a long life for me and burn blood to drive away evil spirits and seek peace.

However, now there is a conflict between the two brothers. As the younger brother, Niu Rui wants to hold a birthday party at his own home, but as the older brother, Niu Fu does not allow it and must do it at his home.

To outsiders, it might sound like the two brothers are quite filial. They still have to fight over tedious and tiring things like birthdays. Isn't this a rush to express filial piety to their own mother?

Liu Jinxia obviously didn't believe it. Her eyesight was getting worse and worse, but her mind was getting brighter and clearer.

Among the people she receives here, there are very few people like Li Weihan, and most of them have done bad things. As the old saying goes, if you do bad things, you are always afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

However, Liu Jinxia would not break the casserole and ask the truth, she just said lightly:

"Don't tell me, does your girl want to do it too?"

"Well, she wants it too."

Liu Jinxia raised her eyebrows.

According to the rules of the village, a daughter is a guest after she gets married. She can take time to visit her parents' home a few times a year. During the Chinese New Year, she can bring her son-in-law back to the house, which is enough to save face.

If the father and mother are sick, the daughter will be a filial daughter who will be praised by neighbors and relatives if she can wait for the elderly at the hospital bed for a while.

Since the daughter does not get a share of the family property, her parents only need to contribute to support her in old age and provide for her funeral, without having to contribute any money.

But the third sister of the Niu family actually wants to celebrate her mother's death... It seems very inconsistent with the rules. No matter how great the filial piety is, it is not expressed like this. If the family is full of sisters and there are no boys, it can be different, but it happens She has two older brothers.

Liu Jinxia lowered her eyelids and said:

"This is easy to handle. Since everyone wants to compete for the master's house, then let's all become the master's house. Borrow a piece of land on the public dam in your village, set up three sacrificial tables, buy three birthday gifts, and burn three blood scriptures. .”

Niu Fu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Can... can this still be done?"

Liu Jinxia nodded: "Okay, let's do it together. We are in the same place, and you ladies don't have to share the work. Your brother Ruihou already gave me the birth dates of his family members yesterday, and you should also give them today." Let me go and tell that girl of yours to bring it to me in the next two days so that I can give you an introduction.”

It used to be that one thing was paid for one thing, but now it was three parts of the money for one thing. She, Liu Jinxia, ​​earned the money.

Niu Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "That's it, I'll tell them when I get back and we'll do it together."

"Well, after all the horoscopes are sent, I will set a specific date for you."

"Hurry." Niu Fu urged, "Hurry."

"I understand." Liu Jinxia nodded, indicating that he didn't need to worry, and then stood up to see off the guests.

As soon as Niu Fu left the bench, he seemed to have thought of something again, sat down again, and said: "One more thing, when celebrating the birthday of the dead, you must ask Grandma Liu to sit in the fasting."

The fasting ceremony is also a religious ceremony. As for the fasting ceremony, it is necessary to invite knowledgeable people to accompany you to prevent the little devils from causing trouble.

As for how to explain this "knowledge", it all depends on the heart. If there is no one, the pig butcher can also sit there.

Because Li Sanjiang's family has a paper business, every time he delivers paper to someone, he defaults to that person's meal. Not only can he get a free meal, but he can also receive money from the host family.

But after all, the cost of this "tacit agreement" is low, and the profit margin is also small, but if you really say "please", it will be a different price.

Niu Fu immediately added: "Li Fengqian is easy to talk about. Aunt Liu, we...all three of our families will give it."

"That's it..." Liu Jinxia's heart beat, and she felt inexplicably flustered.

"In addition, please ask Nanny Liu to invite Uncle Sanjiang from your village. We will also invite him."

Liu Jinxia swallowed and did not agree directly, but said:

"I will go and talk to Marquis Sanjiang, but I don't know if he is free. Give me your horoscope first, and I will calculate the days for you. There is no need to delay this."

"Okay, okay."

Next, Niu Fu took out a cloth bag from his pocket and opened it layer by layer, revealing a stack of rolled-up dough.

He licked his fingertips and began to count the money.

Liu Jinxia accepted the first one, but pushed away the second one, saying, "I will talk to you about the matter of fasting after I have discussed it with the Marquis of Sanjiang."

"This..." Niu Fu was obviously a little reluctant, "How about we make a decision first?"

Liu Jinxia said firmly: "Don't rush to clear the money until the matter is cleared. This is the rule."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mother Liu. I won't go to Uncle Sanjiang's place. I'm waiting for your letter."

"Yeah."

Niu Fu opened the door by himself and walked out.

Li Juxiang went to help her mother and asked in confusion: "Mom, what's wrong?"

The completion of this order was equivalent to the income of the past season. Li Juxiang did not understand that her money-loving mother actually hesitated this time, and it did not seem like she was trying to raise the price to get Qiao.

Liu Jinxia whispered: "They are all from a farmer's family, and they are not wealthy owners. They are so easy to talk to and so easy to pay. It can only be because of one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Lost money and avoid disaster."

"Mom, you mean?"

"Xianghou, tell me, how can any mother in this world continue to do evil to her son after she leaves?"

"That's true."

“What’s even more incomprehensible than this is how many sons and daughters are living an unstable life and suspect that their underground wives are teasing them?

Unless he had done something worse than a beast. ”

"Mom, what about this order?"

"Forget it, let's talk to Marquis Sanjiang later. If he thinks we can go, then we will go and earn all the money. Alas, they really gave us too much."

"What if Uncle Sanjiang refuses to go? Are you willing to do so?"

"There is no point in earning money without spending your life."

"Yes, Uncle Sanjiang's ability is reliable. With him here, we can feel at ease."

"His ability..." Liu Jinxia frowned, as if it was difficult to evaluate, but she still affirmed, "He is here, and he does have confidence in his heart."

……

"Brother Yuanhou?"

Seeing that Li Zhuiyuan was still moving, Cuicui reached out to hold his hand.

The moment the two came into contact, Li Zhuiyuan felt the coldness on his left shoulder disappear. At the same time, he caught Cuicui shuddering and holding his hand to tremble.

"Cui Cui, step back!"

"Huh?"

"Stay away from me!"

Although she didn't know why, Cuicui still let go of her hand obediently and took several steps back.

"Cui Cui, stand there and don't move, don't come close to me."

"Well..."

Brother Yuanhou's sudden attitude reminded Cuicui of the time when she was disliked. A cloud of mist had already appeared in her eyes, and her little nose was sniffing.

Li Zhuiyuan had a feeling that when Cuicui touched him just now, the old woman who had her hands on his shoulders took away one hand and grabbed Cuicui.

After Cuicui stepped away, the old lady returned to her previous posture.

"Mother Liu, I'll leave first!"

Niu Fu's energetic voice came out from inside, and there was no hint of the hoarseness from before.

He walked into the hall, glanced at the two children who were still inside, and walked toward the door without saying anything.

"Grandpa..." Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand and pointed to the corner, the washbasin on the shelf next to him, "Wash your hands."

Cuicui wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa, wash your hands before going out to get rid of bad luck."

After saying that, Cuicui lowered her head and looked at her toes. Does Brother Yuanhou think that his family is unlucky?

She was already used to it and didn't think it was a big deal, but for some reason, she was very sensitive today.

"Oh, okay, let's wash up."

Niu Fu retracted his foot from the threshold, walked to the washbasin, and began to wash his hands.

Washing, washing,

Li Zhuiyuan felt that the coldness on his shoulders was gradually fading away, and his body felt relaxed and a little weak at the same time.

Niu Fu's back slowly hunched down again, visible to the naked eye.

Li Juxiang helped Liu Jinxia out and said, "I'll see you off."

"You're welcome, I'm leaving. See you later."

Niu Fu washed his hands and wanted to pick up the cloth on the shelf to wipe it, but found that it was out of reach, so he had to throw his hands away, put his hands on his waist, and slowly crossed the threshold sideways.

Li Juxiang looked confused, as if something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

She walked to the basin and wanted to change the water, but when she saw the situation in the basin, the expression on her face immediately froze:

The banana leaves in the basin have turned into extremely thin strips. Even if someone tears them apart by hand, it is impossible to tear them so finely and neatly.

The most important thing is that the water in this basin turned black!

Li Juxiang immediately walked quickly to her mother, lowered her head and whispered.

Liu Jinxia looked at her daughter in shock, and then looked outside the room.

At this moment, Niu Fu finally crossed the threshold and walked to the dam;

Li Zhuiyuan finally recovered from the loss of strength just now. He walked to Liu Jinxia, ​​pointed at Niu Fu's back, and said to Liu Jinxia:

"Milk, on his back..."

"Silence!"

Liu Jinxia immediately covered the child's mouth with both hands.

The smell of these hands was so strong that Li Zhuiyuan's eyes were so smoky that he almost shed tears.

Niu Fu outside paused, turned half sideways, glanced meaningfully, and then continued walking out.

It wasn't until the family left the dam and was far away that Liu Jinxia released her hand covering the child.

"You'er, tell me now."

Li Zhuiyuan took several deep breaths and said, "Mistress, is that grandpa carrying anything on his back?"

Liu Jinxia put her face in front of Li Zhuiyuan, lowered her voice, and asked: "Xiao Yuanhou, did you see something?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

He literally saw nothing, only felt.

Liu Jinxia frowned and asked: "Hou Xiaoyuan, Marquis Sanjiang went to your house last night, right?"

"Milk, I fell asleep and didn't know."

"Haha."

Liu Jinxia smiled and nodded, but did not ask any more questions, but said seriously: "Xiao Yuanhou, remember grandma's words."

"Grandma, say it."

"There are some things. Even if you see it, you must not show it in front of it. If it knows that you can see it, it might...will haunt you."

Is it because of this?

Li Zhuiyuan nodded vigorously: "Nai, I remember." "Okay, let's go to dinner with Xiao Cuihou."

"Okay, Grandma."

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Cui Cui, who looked at him with some confusion.

"Cui Cui, let's go and eat."

"Okay, hehe."

A smile appeared on the little girl's face again.

After the two children entered the kitchen, Liu Jinxia sat on a chair in the hall with a solemn expression.

"Mom?" Li Juxiang was still holding the washbasin in her hand, "Did you really see Xiao Yuanhou's child?"

“Sometimes, you don’t have to use your eyes to see something.”

"How could this happen?"

"I guess I have to ask Marquis Sanjiang about this. God knows what methods he used to fool around."

"Oh, I hope the child will be fine. I really like this child."

"Oh." Liu Jinxia looked at her daughter with a half-smile, "What, you're attracted to her and want to take her as your son-in-law?"

"Mom, don't make such jokes. I can't possibly have such thoughts. He is Lanhou's son."

This time, Liu Jinxia rarely scolded her daughter for "self-abasement", but said with relief: "That girl Lanhou has been smart since she was a child, and her son is extremely precocious, so he is really not suitable." Be a son-in-law.”

Li Juxiang was amused and asked: "Mom, listen, what nonsense are you talking about? How smart are you making mistakes?"

"Daughter, you don't understand.

Have you ever seen a girl who was so possessed by dirty things yesterday that she passed out, and today she can still hold hands and act like a normal person?

Do you think he knows what happened to Big Beard’s family? Do you believe him when he said he didn’t know anything while sleeping last night?

Oh, just now, I saw someone unclean here again, and now I can sit down and continue eating peacefully.

This guy is no longer extremely smart. He can quickly figure out what situation he is in and can adjust himself.

Even this...hell.

That is to say, he is still young now, with a bit of immaturity;

When he grows up, it is really boring to live with such a person, because he can see through you just by looking at you, and you have no secrets in front of him.

You can't even act coquettishly or get angry with him, because he stands taller than you, and he lowers his head and looks down at you from all directions.

Cold and impersonal. ”

"Mom, how can you say that to a child? I think Xiao Yuanhou is really nice, polite and well-behaved."

"That's because he treats everyone like this, just like his mother when she was a child."

"Mom..."

"Yes, isn't his mother divorced too?"

"You..." Li Juxiang was angry.

Still unfinished, Liu Jinxia blew out a puff of smoke and continued: "People like the two of them are suitable for finding someone who has no self at all and only sees them."

"Mom, I'd better go find Uncle Sanjiang."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Liu Jinxia waved her hand, "If the Marquis of Sanjiang is bothering, ask him if he really makes something happen to the Marquis of Han's favorite grandson, if he still wants the Marquis of Han to take care of him until he is old."< br>


Li Juxiang quickly poured out the sewage in the basin, got on the tricycle and set off. She really didn't want to hear her mother talk about this anymore.

Liu Jinxia put out the cigarette butt in her hand, yawned, and walked slowly to the kitchen.

The two children had finished eating. Liu Jinxia saw her spoiled granddaughter who usually did not do housework, taking the initiative to clear away the dishes and wipe the table.

He kept saying: "Brother Yuanhou, put it down quickly, I do these jobs every day."

Liu Jinxia even laughed.

Perhaps because it was related to his own retirement, Li Sanjiang didn't waste any time this time and came over early on Li Juxiang's tricycle.

After Liu Jinxia asked Li Juxiang to take her two children upstairs to watch TV, she introduced Li Sanjiang into her office.

"Hey, Blind Man Liu, you are really tight here." Li Sanjiang patted the wooden boxes that were piled high around him, "I didn't know, I thought you had just purchased the goods from Guangdong and were ready. Switched to wholesale business ”

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Liu Jinxia told everything about today's events, including the Niu family's longevity.

Li Sanjiang's eyes widened and he asked: "Then how could Xiao Yuanhou see it?"

Liu Jinxia took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and finally suppressed her anger and asked: "You fucking asked me?"

Li Sanjiang took out his cigarettes, threw one to Liu Jinxia, ​​and held one under his nose, sniffing and pondering.

Liu Jinxia picked up the cigarette, knocked the filter end against the table, and asked: "What good thing did you do last night!"

"Things that accumulate virtue."

"You..." Liu Jinxia licked her lips and asked, "The bearded men are in a floating fish pond today. Did you take that dead man back there?"

Li Sanjiang said nothing.

"How did you bring him here?" Liu Jinxia continued to talk. Then, as if she thought of a terrible possibility, she raised her voice and cursed, "You old thing who has been stabbed a thousand times will not let Xiao Yuanhou lead you there." Dead?”

"Ahem..." Li Sanjiang cleared his throat, "Blind Liu, lend me a hand."

Liu Jinxia smashed the matchbox directly: "You really did this!"

"嚓......"

Li Sanjiang looked away and smoked a cigarette.

Liu Jinxia left her chair, walked around the table, walked up to Li Sanjiang, and sprayed saliva directly onto the old man's face:

"The living take the yang path, and the dead take the yin path. If you ask Xiao Yuanhou to lead the corpse, you are letting this guy take the yin path and be contaminated by ghosts. Do you know that you may have made him able to walk?" Yin'? ”

"Going to the yin?" Li Sanjiang was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have heard a big joke, "Haha, fuck your mother, there is no way that you can go to the yin after doing it like this!"

"Heh...hehehe." Blind Liu sneered.

Li Sanjiang became anxious instead, and stood up suddenly: "If it was really so easy to cheat, you, Blind Liu, have been doing this for decades, and you wouldn't have to be such a liar now!"
< br>

Walking in the Yin is called "touching the blind" or "lowering the spirit" in some places. It refers to the ability to go from the Yang world to the underworld. In layman's terms, it means being able to see things that are not in the Yang world.

People come to look for "goddess" like Blind Man Liu because they are looking for the image that people like them create that can communicate with gods and ghosts. However, 99% of people like them don't have this ability. She, Blind Man Liu, doesn't have it anyway. of.

Liu Jinxia calmed down her breathing and said, "This guy is smart and thoughtful."

When Li Sanjiang heard this, he swallowed. The scene from last night suddenly appeared in his mind. Xiao Yuanhou pointed his finger into the river and said, "Don't wait for her?"

"Crack!"

Li Sanjiang sat back in his chair with a surprised and uncertain expression. He suddenly realized that what Liu Jinxia said seemed to be right.

"Both my parents are in Beijing, I have a registered residence in Beijing, and I have a good brain. I can do whatever I want while studying. I have a bright future, but you messed it up.

Not to mention the impact of seeing those dirty things all the time on your daily life, just look at the fact that you, a lonely person, have to find a Hanhou with reliable character in advance even before you die.

As for me, hehe, let alone that.

Anyone who has been exposed to this path will have some of the five evils and three shortcomings. You are committing evil. Do you think your brain was filled with water at that time? ”

Li Sanjiang didn't reply, his eyebrows furrowed with the word "Chuan".

Upon seeing this, Liu Jinxia stopped sarcastic, and instead comforted her: "Fortunately, Ya'er's condition is not serious now. I think he can only vaguely sense some dirty things, and it's not really serious." It will go downhill, but it can still be restored, and it can be pulled back.”

Li Sanjiang's eyes were firm and he said: "Then I will cut him off!"

"How to break it?"

"I went to the Marquis of Han and asked him to ordain Xiao Yuanhou and live with me for a while, and I would give him a living fast."

Hearing this, Liu Jinxia opened her mouth: "Sitting in Huozhai?"

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as fasting, because fasting for the dead during funerals is to prevent dirty things from causing trouble, while fasting for a living person is tantamount to transferring the bad things about the other person to oneself, and no one wants to do this.

As for the so-called "monasticism", it means to temporarily separate from the family and cut off the cause and effect. After a period of time, you can still return to secular life.

In remote areas of the country and Southeast Asia, there is still a tradition of sending children to become monks and go to temples for a period of time before bringing them back to continue their lives. In the mainland, it is a simplified version of this custom to identify children as "godfathers and godmothers."

Li Sanjiang looked at Liu Jinxia and asked, "Do you think it will work?"

Liu Jinxia nodded: "If you are willing to pay such a price, then it will definitely work."

She became a monk halfway through this profession, and she basically relied on herself to explore. But in her early years, she never thought of learning real skills from Li Sanjiang.

The reason why it didn't work out in the end was because she found that Li Sanjiang was a bit unreliable.

You might say that he has no ability. Every time he encounters trouble, he can always come up with some means; but you can say that he has ability. He often makes a mess, just like this time.

But one thing, Liu Jinxia was sure of, was that there was something indescribable about this old guy.

When I first got married, I heard my father-in-law say that Li Sanjiang was arrested three times during the Republic of China. The people who were arrested together were never heard from again, but Li Sanjiang managed to sneak back with all his arms and legs every time.

He was obviously engaged in a taboo-breaking business, but he had always been free from illness and disaster. It was a bit far-fetched to even insist that he was alone, because unlike him, he had never had a family, and his childhood had always been extremely nourishing and carefree.

There are countless reasons why he should have died a long time ago, but he has a long life, a glowing face, and is still very energetic. Liu Jinxia is a full generation younger than him, but she feels that there is a high probability that she will be ahead of him.

This is a bad luck for a living person. The premise is that you have that kind of luck to pick it up. There is no doubt that Li Sanjiang really has it. Not only does he have it, but it also overflows.

Li Sanjiang stood up, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. When he was about to go out, he was stopped by Liu Jinxia:

"I said, Uncle Sanjiang."

"Huh?"

"Uncle Sanjiang, I was too concerned about You'er's affairs just now, so I sounded a little harsh. I'm sorry."

Li Sanjiang glanced at Liu Jinxia and said, "You want to fart?"

Liu Jinxia accompanied her with a smile: "Since you are planning to do this, it is better to sit in a restaurant with one aunt, and sit in a meal with two aunts. I will give you my Xiao Cuihou as well. Let’s go home, and I’ll be with Xiao Yuanhou. What do you think?”

"Sure enough, it's no good."

Li Sanjiang walked out without looking back and sat down for Marquis Xiao Yuan. Firstly, he was responsible for this matter, and secondly, he wanted to provide for the Marquis of Han until he died.

He has lived a life of leisurely life, and it is really worthwhile to ensure this when things are going to be damaged in his old age. It is much more cost-effective than those old people who have spent most of their lives taking care of their children.

But Li Sanjiang felt that if he dared to sit down at Liu Xiazi's house today, he would be prepared to die violently tomorrow!

"Xiao Yuanhou, come here, I will take you home!"

"Come here, Master."

Li Sanjiang took Li Zhuiyuan's hand and left Liu Jinxia's house. On the way, he asked: "Marquis Xiaoyuan, I have something to discuss with you."

"Master, tell me."

"There are so many children in your family now that sleeping is crowded. My grandpa's house is spacious and living alone is lonely. How about you come to my grandpa's house for a while and stay with me?"

"Master..."

"Huh?"

"Did something happen to me?"

"Um..." Li Sanjiang finally felt today that Yao'er was too smart and not very good, "Don't worry, Xiao Yuanhou, I will help you solve your problem, don't be afraid."

"It's okay, sir, I can get used to it."

"Hurry up and pout, this is not a habit!"

"Bah, bah, bah."

……

When Li Zhuiyuan was sent back by Li Sanjiang, Yingzi was dancing with rubber bands in Bazi with his two younger sisters.

Two benches were placed four meters apart at both ends, with rubber bands on the legs.

"Little leather ball, banana pear, Malan blossom twenty-one. Two-five-six, two-five-seven, two-eight-two-nine-thirty-one..."

"Yinghou, are your grandparents back?" Li Sanjiang shouted and asked.

"Ah, Master, Yuanzi." Yingzi and the others found the person, "Master, Nai, they just came back."

"It's done."

Li Sanjiang let go of Li Zhuiyuan's hand, walked in, and saw Li Weihan and Cui Guiying.

The old couple thought Li Sanjiang was here for a "confession" and hurriedly took the initiative to report the situation.

After hearing this, Li Sanjiang nodded and comforted them: "Okay, let's forget about the Beard family's affairs. I don't think it will have anything to do with it anymore."

Li Weihan asked with some worry: "Uncle, has that little Huangying been dealt with by you?"

Li Sanjiang's eyelids trembled. How to deal with it? Take a shovel and dig under Big Beard's fish pond. Then he shouted to ask if she was still there.

Logically speaking, the recent death could not have been so violent. It was incredible that she could even go ashore and chase her home.

However, Li Sanjiang did not intend to go into details as to whether the little yellow warbler had resolved itself after taking revenge, or whether it was still hiding in the fish pond and staring at the old house of the Bearded family as evil.

"She won't come to your house again. Just remember the date and make another sacrifice for her next year. Just show your intention."

"Okay, uncle, we've written it down."

"Well, but there is another thing that I need to tell you."

Li Sanjiang talked about Li Zhuiyuan's problems, but he concealed his own improper operation. Otherwise, he had to save face.

When Cui Guiying heard this, she was so frightened that her lips turned white again: "Oh my God, it's not over yet."

Li Weihan was much calmer and said to his wife: "The most dangerous hurdle has passed. It doesn't matter now. Uncle, don't you have a way? Just do as uncle said. Go and pack some clothes for Xiao Yuanhou." Luggage.”

Li Sanjiang waved his hand: "You don't have to go to jail to live at my place. You can come and see it. You can just deliver the things yourself tomorrow. It won't take long, at most half a month. Just treat it like me." Raise your children and enjoy the joy of being a grandpa, haha.”

Li Sanjiang's relaxed tone made Cui Guiying feel a lot calmer. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "That's really troublesome for Uncle Sanjiang."

"Hey, don't say that, my family, my family. Okay, set a table, light the right candles, pour three bowls of wine, let's go through the motions and pay homage to the monks."

The ordination ceremony was very simple. A table with candles was placed on the dam. Li Sanjiang led Li Zhuiyuan around the table three times while mumbling something.

Finally, Li Zhuiyuan was asked to pick up three bowls of rice wine in sequence, pour one bowl towards the sky, one bowl on himself, and the last bowl towards the family members standing at the door.

The most important thing here is that during the ceremony, Li Weihan, Cui Guiying and all the brothers and sisters can only stand inside the threshold. They cannot come out or make any noise.

The ceremony is over.

"Alright, Marquis of Han, see you tomorrow." Li Sanjiang waved his hand, "I'll take you home first."

After saying that, Li Sanjiang carried Li Zhuiyuan on his back and walked outside the dam.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was being carried on his back, turned around, kept smiling, and waved goodbye to his family, as if he was just visiting relatives.

Inside the threshold, Li Weihan put his arm around Cui Guiying's shoulders and kept his eyes on him. Although Pan Zileizi and Huzi Shitou were asked to keep silent, they all covered their mouths while squeezing their heads out from their grandparents to look at themselves.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the warm orange light was shining, giving everything in the field of vision a soft aperture.

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt a trance in his heart. He had a vague premonition that this scene would remain deep in his heart forever, and he would often recall it in the future.

It's like turning over that one...
