Chapter 7665 Yu Banxian
Yang Huamei was dumbfounded.
Isn’t my method too simple and crude?
Is this okay?
How about... let's try it too?
When Tan saw Yang Huamei's incompetent look, she curled her lips, "If you become fierce, even ghosts and gods will be afraid of you!"
However, looking at Mei'er's cowardly appearance, she can still be hard-hearted to a rotten daughter-in-law who is full of scheming.
Do you still expect Meier to do something more bold?
"There are two more methods that you can try." Tan took a sip of tea and spoke again.
Huh?
This tea is not bad, each root is as thin as an embroidery needle. It tastes light when you drink it. It is not as sour and burnt as the old wild tea at home.
After taking a sip, a faint fragrance is still left on the tip of the tongue. The fragrance is not floral, but fruity, because it is still sweet.
Tan was about to ask what kind of tea this was, but was forced back by Yang Huamei's sudden questioning.
"Mom, is there any other good way? Teach me again."
"Well, prepare some offerings or something, put them in a small bowl and put them in the corner of the cradle to worship Meng Ga. Po.”
Mengga Po?
Yang Huamei rolled her eyes a few times and suddenly patted her thigh.
"Look at my brain, how could I not think of this level? Yes, there is Mengga Po to protect the child, I will prepare it later!"
Mengga Po is Mian According to folklore in the Niushan area, generations of people believe that every baby sleeping in a cradle has a Mengga Po behind him.
In the child's dream, the Mengga woman will accompany the child and teach him many things.
Sometimes the child laughs in his sleep, or kicks his legs or raises his hands, etc. The adults say this is Mengga Po teasing the child and teaching him to walk.
When a child suddenly bursts into tears while asleep, or looks like he wants to cry or not, adults will say that this is Mengga Po lecturing the child!
In short, Mengga Po is like an invisible and intangible nanny who accompanies the child's growth like a shadow. She will not leave until the child's wisdom gradually develops after the child is one year old.
So families with a good family background and a baby would often put some food in the corner of the cradle as a sign of filial piety to Mother Mengga.
When Dabai and Xiaohei were young, Yang Huamei remembered that Shuanzi Niang had done this.
"Mom, are there any other ways? Tell them all."
Tan thought for a while and then said, "Put a pair of scissors under the cradle. That is a murder weapon. A murder weapon can ward off evil spirits."
"However, be careful not to hurt the child when stuffing it." Tan added.
Yang Huamei nodded repeatedly. She had seen Shuanzi Niang do this method before.
When my mother-in-law was doing those things, I was watching from the side. How come it is my turn to be a grandmother and I can’t do anything anymore?
Fortunately, Hongmei flattered her, saying that she was a mother-in-law with more experience and knowledge... Yang Huamei felt guilty for no reason.
"Do you have any red silk at home that you can offer incense to the Bodhisattva?" Tan suddenly asked again.
Yang Huamei came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, "Last time I built this new house, I put a piece of red silk on it when I was building the beams. I got it from the Taoist temple."
"I remember who reminded me I left a little bit, and then I tore off a small piece, Mom, is that okay?"
Tan said, "The one that has been opened should be okay. Go back and tie the red silk to the legs of the cradle. It’s auspicious.”
Yang Huamei nodded vigorously and asked for a bunch of other ideas. If it were anyone else who asked like this, Mrs. Tan would have spit it in his face.
But when the other party was his old daughter Yang Huamei, Tan had no choice but to rack his brains patiently and recall some of the things he had heard and seen around him in his more than seventy years of life. An earthwork to avoid evil. If someone holds a pen and paper and records simultaneously, a thick book can be produced.
The title of the book is: "A Complete Collection of Methods for Infants and Young Children to Attract Good Luck and Avoid Evil"
Or: "Tan and Her Thousand and One Earthworks"< br>
Another example: "Mother and Daughter's Night Talk: Infants Crying at Night"
......
When Mrs. Liu told Mr. Tan about Yang Huamei's visit to Yu Banxian, Ms. Tan was like this at that time Ms. Liu was warned: "In addition to telling this matter to me, don't go out and tell others, so as not to worry about it." "Everyone who hears the wind is like rain."
At that time, Mrs. Liu also patted her chest and made a promise: "Mom, you can rest assured, I know it well."
As a result, Mrs. Tan. Mrs. Liu went to Lao Wang's house to find Yang Huamei, and Mrs. Liu ran to the entrance of the village to talk to Mrs. Sun about the matter.
She didn't tell too many people, that is, she told the Sun family, Bao Suyun, Cao Bamei, Yang Ruoqing, and the eldest Sun family who came to visit...
Well, this list is a bit long. It seems a bit difficult to count with one pair of hands.
"Fourth Aunt, did my grandma tell you not to tell anyone about this matter except her?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked Mrs. Liu with a smile in her eyes.
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "It's more than just an admonishment? It's simply a warning!"
"Then you still tell so many of us? Aren't you afraid? Yang Ruoqing asked again with a smile.
Mrs. Liu looked like she was not stingy and rolled her eyes, "Are you afraid of a ball? I'm not the first person to know about this? I heard it from outside."
"As soon as I heard it, about seventy or eighty people knew it. The old lady's warning was useless. There were still seventy or eighty people outside who were talking!"
If you have the ability, just say one word at a time. Zhang, go and block it!
Everyone was no longer surprised by Liu's behavior. Sun said: "Getting back to the subject, Mei'er doesn't know why she went to Yu Banxian? Why don't you go to the Taoist temple?"
< br>Ms. Liu chuckled, grabbed a handful of peanuts on the table and peeled them cracklingly in her hands: "There's no need to ask, just stay away from us, for fear that we will find out about their old Wang family's trivial matters again."< br>
Bao Suyun glanced at Mrs. Liu and said, "Mei'er is also a strong person and doesn't want to show weakness. This is understandable." , if you can’t hold it back, you’ll have to come to our old Yang family in the end. It would be funny to help."
Sun said: "It must be a trivial matter. It's not surprising that many people who have headaches and fevers go to Yu Banxian for advice."
Yang Ruoqing secretly said. Nodding, it is indeed cheaper to find Yu Banxian.
If you go to the Taoist temple, it is indeed a bit more expensive, but Taoist priest Yuan is the real deal.
As for what Yu Banxian is? Pull it down!
That man is an old bachelor in Yujia Village. In the early years, he and his father guarded a few acres of farmland at home. He was quite flexible. From time to time, he would go out to get some small things and sell them in the village. Make a few bucks from it.
If it were someone else, after making a little money, why not first renovate the house, and then marry a wife to support their small life?
But he didn’t. This is what he told people: Marrying a wife is not good, drinking wine is good. When my father passes away in a few years, I will be able to feed myself and the whole family will not be hungry!
