Chapter 17: The Disappearing Little Gourd
A corner near the firewood house in the backyard.
Guan Youshou looked around and lowered his voice, "Wait, dad will dress it first." Whoever wants to see it in the future, you don't care. ”
Guan Ping'an, who was stuck in the past, nodded subconsciously.
If it was something else, she would give it to her brother Guan Tianyou.
But this is her aunt's, the mother who handed her and the little gourd over to the master on her deathbed, so she should want to keep the last bit of memory.
Guan Ping'an sighed faintly.
provoked Guan Youshou to laugh sullenly, "Dad's stupid girl, Dad just sighed deliberately, how can you learn from a villain? ”
"Dad, my brother will say that you are eccentric when he finds out?"
"Hey...... Your brother also has it, and my father will save it for him first. He was too naughty, playing around in the tun all day long, and would give it to him when he was older. ”
Guan Ping'an looked at his face suspiciously, and secretly decided that no matter whether her father's words were true or not, she would find a good jade for her brother in the future, and it would not be good for him to suffer.
Guan Youshou didn't know what his daughter was thinking, and at this moment he took out a small dark red cotton purse from his pocket that he had managed to get all afternoon.
I saw him stuff it back into his pocket, turn his back, take out a small bag from his arms and poke it into the gourd with a branch, and whispered, "Girl, keep an eye on your father." ”
"Good. Hearing this, Guan Ping'an put aside his thoughts and looked at the entrance of the backyard with a pair of big eyes without blinking. If the eldest aunt sees this, she must not make a fuss.
Guan Youshou quickly took out the small purse again, stuffed the small gourd into the bottom cotton, pinched it, and sincerely thanked the dumb mother-in-law for her intentions.
Such a small dark red purse is hung around his daughter's neck in the summer, and others will mistakenly think that it is to put wild fruits or something for the child.
Guan Ping'an touched the purse hanging around her neck, this was the most ordinary purse she had ever seen, no, it was not a purse at all, but this was the most precious gift she received.
A piece of cotton cloth asks for a ticket, a small ball of cotton also needs a ticket, and his father and a big man avoid her mother, and he doesn't know who to ask for help, no wonder he can't see him all afternoon.
Guan Youshou saw that his daughter liked it, and smiled happily, "Happy, right? In the future, my father will buy you candy, and we will fill it all up, and you can eat it if you want." ”
That's not going to be teeth!
When Guan Ping'an heard this, Le bent his eyes and nodded again and again. After hesitating, she asked, "Dad, can I touch the little gourd first?"
"Hey, what a big deal. After speaking, Guan Youshou told her uneasily, "Don't show others in the future, this is a talisman, which can bless you to grow up smoothly." ”
"I know. It will be robbed by someone, and it will not be able to fall to the ground, it will be broken. Guan Ping'an was allowed to smile.
Guan Youshou looked at her little hand worriedly, "It's still Dad, close the little hand quickly." She squeezed out the gourd and put it on her closed palm.
Outcome......
The white jade gourd that had never changed in his hand was visible to the naked eye at this moment, and as soon as it reached the girl's hand, it gradually became transparent.
Guan Youshou was about to ask Guan Ping'an to throw it away.
- Before he could reach out and slap it off, the white jade gourd turned into a ray of light, and "instigated" Guan Ping'an to drill into the back of his head, and disappeared.
Guan Youshou was so frightened that he picked up his daughter and collapsed on the ground.
Guan Ping'an happened to miss this scene, opened his mouth, and rubbed the powder on his hands in confusion, "Dad, it's broken, it's become powder, it's gone." ”
Guan Youshou looked around in awe, then looked at the mountain behind him, and immediately pressed her, and the father and daughter knelt on the ground, "An'an, kowtow." ”
"Huh?"
"Listen to Daddy, kowtow. ”
So near the firewood room, two figures, one large and one small, kept kneeling there and kowtowing......
Guan Youshou kowtowed while chattering, "Bodhisattva bless...... Wong Tai Sin bless ...... The villain has no form, and the little girl is innocent......"
Guan Ping'an, who was beside him, kowtowed, and looked at her father with worried eyes, what should I do? Her father's forehead was already covered with sweat and mud.
And what happened just now? It actually made her father's face pale with fright, praying to the gods and begging for mercy?
How could her aunt's little gourd suddenly disappear? She used to wear it closely, not all the time. Could it be that it has existed in the world for too long?
But it's not right, this is jade, it's stone, it's not silk, it's not rice paper, don't say it's a thousand years, it's ten thousand years, and the stone will really weather?
Guan Youshou was anxious, and after respectfully praying for the fairies and ghosts he knew, he put his arms around his daughter and carefully opened the bandage knot under her neck.
Just this bandage, he cheekily pestered the old doctor of the family, and only tied it twice, but now he regrets it very much, which tendon he made in the morning.
And voila, it's hard to open a knot!
Finally loosened the knot, Guan Youshou untied the bandage and threw it, lifted the gauze behind the girl's head, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
- I saw that there was still some residue of ointment on it, and there were no wounds at all, so that the opening was so smooth that if it weren't for the shaving of his hair, he would have wondered if he was dreaming.
Is this okay?
Guan Ping'an saw that her father's hands were trembling all the time, and he immediately followed him to hold his breath, and he didn't dare to snort, staring at her father nervously.
Guan Youshou wiped his eyes, looked again, there was no wound, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again, still no wounds.
At this moment, he was surprised, happy, sad and relieved - as soon as the little bag disappeared, he no longer had to worry about it.
Alas......
Guan Youshou's inner feeling could not be described for a while, so he scooped up his daughter into his arms, took a deep breath, and tied the bandages for her again.
This time, you have to be careful, after three or five days, find a time to take the child to the county seat alone, and you can't be careless anymore.
"Daddy?"
Hearing his daughter's uneasy voice, Guan Youshou patted her comfortingly, and quietly commanded, "Don't tell anyone what happened just now, not even your mother." ”
"Dad, where's the little gourd?"
"That's a fake, after a long time, it will be dispersed by the wind, and in the future, my father will find you a real, more beautiful, not to mention the wind, even if the water is released, it will not be broken for you. With that, Guan Youshou hung up his daughter's purse again and straightened the clothes and pants of the father and daughter.
Guan Ping'an saw that he had no intention of telling the truth, nodded obediently and hugged his neck. If she was really six years old, she would believe it, but so what?
- The father who spoiled her and loved her said that one is ten, and she will make a stroke for him as a daughter, so that it will become a proper ten.
"Ouch, it's almost dark, why didn't your mother come out to find our grandfather. Good girl, is it cold? Hug your dad tightly, dad wants to take his daughter away. ”
As Guan Youshou's words fell, Guan Ping'an suddenly let out bursts of laughter like silver bells, and shouted in his mouth: Fei, Fei......
In a trance, the man in the cyan robe was holding the young her like this, performing light skills in the snowy yard, amusing her when she was young and lost. The gentle-looking teacher under the eaves muttered vigorously, don't scare the child, don't freeze the child, don't ......
And at this moment, in front of the three rooms, her mother watched with a smile on her face as the father and daughter ran closer, and her brother rushed forward to meet them......
