Chapter 167 Careful attention from head to toe
Brother Qiyuan carefully inquired about the old lady’s origins and found out something for them.
It’s just that it’s been too long, and the old woman has been living an ordinary life all her life.
She is a good wife and mother when the man is around.
When there is no man, she is the grandmother of the family, and everything in the family is taken care of by the eldest son and daughter-in-law.
The old woman has been a Buddhist all her life. In her later years, apart from going to temples and staying for a while, she had no other inappropriate hobbies.
Normally, brothers Qi Yuan would not pay attention to such an old woman, but now because of Xia Yu's incident, they have noticed this old woman.
There are many people during the day. Even if Qi Yuan Zhenren brothers can become invisible, they cannot gamble on this opportunity that may expose themselves.
At night, after people fell asleep, Brother Qiyuan stood by the old woman's window and heard the old woman dreaming.
"Father, have you come to pick me up?"
Brother Qiyuan secretly exchanged glances. Children in ordinary families like to call their father "father."
"Father, don't want their life span."
Brother Qiyuan pushed the window When they entered, they saw the shadow on the ground, and they were immediately angry and swung their swords over.
Xuying made a mocking voice: "Hey, disciples of the great sect.
You came just in time, and the delicious food was delivered to your door."
Their brother's sword thrust was empty, and the shadow laughed loudly: "Stupid, the disciples of the sect have been as stupid as ever for hundreds of years."
Qicheng Zhenren moved to the shadow and threw a talisman. When Xuying didn't react, he lost several more talismans one after another.
"Yeah." Fires appeared one after another in the shadow, and Master Qicheng said to Master Qiyuan: "The talisman."
The two brothers took turns throwing the talisman, like Shi Zelan As she said, as long as there are enough materials for refining the talisman, her master is willing to take her to refine the talisman.
"Yeah, yeah." The shadow shrank and quickly ran out through the open window.
Brother Qiyuan chased him out. The old woman on the bed woke up in the middle of the night and saw the open window.
She got out of bed and closed the window, sighing: "I forgot to close the window.
I actually dreamed about my father who has been missing for many years. I really don't have much time left."
Qiyuan Zhenren’s brothers chased him out, but the shadow had disappeared. The brothers were so angry that they threw a purification talisman everywhere.
They returned to the window and happened to hear the old woman whispering. The brothers looked at each other and decided to give up tonight.
After they left, Xuying covered his chest and crawled to the old woman's window. He happened to hear the old woman sigh: "Father, after so many years, you finally entered my dream.
Father, I I don’t want to take away the life of my children and grandchildren. If I can live until next spring and be pain-free, that’s the best result.”
The shadow flashed, and after the old woman lay down, she whispered. : "You are as cowardly and incompetent as your mother. Survival is instinct, but you are unwilling to live forever."
The shadow finally did not enter the room. He shrank smaller and smaller, and then disappeared in the same place.
On the second day, Brother Qiyuan went to a teahouse near the old woman’s house to listen to books. He heard someone mention that there were flashes of fire everywhere in the yard of the old woman’s house yesterday.
In the morning, the servant looked around carefully and found nothing wrong except for a strange smell. Brother Qi Yuan exchanged glances. After they came back from Shen Shi, they first cared about Xia Yu's situation, and then talked about the news they heard.
After hearing this, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng frowned at the same time: "That thing must have something to do with that old woman, and it will definitely come back, but I don't know when."< br>
“Do you think that could be the old woman’s father?”
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng nodded at the same time. The old woman has been dead for many years. If the old woman is right He had deep feelings for her and often saw her in his dreams. Her health was probably not going to get better for a long time.
Master Qiyuan's brother asked Master Shanzheng for some better talismans. Master Qiyuan handed Master Shanzheng a space pocket: "Shanzheng, can you see if the things inside can be used?"
Master Shanzheng opened the pocket After picking up the space pocket, he nodded happily: "If you can use it, you can use it."
Master Shanzheng took out another stack of talismans and handed them to Master Qiyuan: "This is refined by my senior brother. "
Master Qiyuan treasured it, and then whispered to Master Shanzheng: "Let Sister Lan learn to refine the top quality talismans."
Master Shanzheng smiled. Nodding: "Okay."
He secretly thought to himself that Shi Zelan had a talent directly fed by God. Since he started drawing talismans, the refined talismans rarely turned out to be of inferior quality.
After Xia Yu had no strange dreams for several days, she encouraged Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Let's walk along the alley and get to know the neighbors."
Shi Zelan smiled. He: "You are too idle.
Let's go, you will feel the enthusiasm of our neighbors soon.
By the way, if they ask you about getting married, you have to Think of a good answer, but don’t let people come to your door every day to arrange a good marriage for you.”
Xia Yu listened to Shi Zelan's words and looked at her dumbfounded: "I'm about the same age as you, and they didn't come to arrange your marriage. Why do they want to arrange my marriage?"
Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: " My face looked young. Xiaoliu and my aunts said that I was just anxious to grow taller. In fact, I had just turned ten."
Xia Yu turned to Shi Xiaoliu and asked: "Xiaoliu, you. Do you think I look small?”
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and sighed: “You won’t look small when you stand next to Sister Lan. You can find other excuses to return my aunt’s kindness. "
"Other excuses, I don't want to get married, I believe in Buddhism."
"Can you recite Buddhist scriptures?"
After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's question, Xia Yu thought carefully: "I don't get married early, and I can't get engaged early, otherwise it will not be good for the woman."< br>
The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate and walked all the way to the left. The first courtyard gate was closed and they passed smoothly.
However, when we walked to the door of the second courtyard, someone happened to come out of the courtyard, and then a young scholar came out.
The scholar saluted them, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu quickly returned the salute, Shi Zelan followed them shyly, and then walked to the third house like this.
"Sister Lan, from the day I met you, I have never thought that you are a shy person."
When Shi Zelan heard Xia Yu's voice, she said angrily: "Do you want me to follow you? Are you saluting?
The aunts on this street have a good impression of me. They think I have a very gentle temperament and am very shy when facing strangers."
Xia Yu looked back. When Shi Zelan came to see her, he saw her quickly rolling her eyes at him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she was just pretending in front of strangers."
Starting from the third house, Xia Jade has seen the enthusiasm of the aunts on this street.
Their care for Xia Yu was such that they paid meticulous attention from head to toe. Even in the winter, Xia Yu felt like wiping off her sweat.
