The old Grandma Liu and the old madman walked in the village in a row, which made the whole village breathless for a while, and the hearts of the old and young masters were as uneasy as pressing a stone.

As soon as the two of them left, the whole village was empty, as if there was a lot of things missing. On weekdays, Grandma Liu's family walks around, and the family skewers, helping to do some work by the way. The old madman yelled here and there in the village all day long. These two people left like this, and I still missed the two of them in my heart. Second sister-in-law Chen looked at Second Brother Chen who came back from outside, sighed and said.

Second Brother Chen glanced at Second Sister-in-law Chen and said, "Yes, with Grandma Liu, she can help many people in the village to get a chicken and a dog." If someone's family can't be separated, she will take a hand. Although Grandma Liu is old and has no strength, with her help, people can ease their breath. ”

"I heard that Grandma Liu is not old, but her body is not good and she looks old. Second sister-in-law Chen frowned, looked at Second Brother Chen and said, "I heard that the things about Grandma Liu are written in that book." ”

"Speaking of which, I remembered the three nerves, that thing is really not a thing, and I suspect that Grandma Liu is not a hero. I wondered if the production team would not be able to work one day, so I went to Wolong Village to find our cousin to come over, and read all the words written in Grandma Liu's book to everyone in front of the old and young masters of the village, so that his three nerves would not have a fart. Second Brother Chen was a little angry.

"What kind of anger do you have with his three nerves, he is that virtuous. Second sister-in-law Chen saw that Second Brother Chen's face was a little ugly, so she persuaded her and said, "He doesn't think that Grandma Liu is a big hero, as long as the people in the village admit that Grandma Liu is a hero." ”

"At that time, I saw that the mouth of the three nerves was as if the soles of the shoes were torn, and I really wanted to go up and give him two ear scrapers. Second Brother Chen said angrily, "Whoever saw him at that time would want to go up and slap his ear, and he was still jumping to do something to Zhao Daya." ”

"You guys, what's the competition with him. Second sister-in-law Chen looked at Second Brother Chen, "Who among the old and young masters in the village doesn't know his virtues? ”

Second Brother Chen listened to the woman's words, nodded, and replied to the woman's words: "Yes!"

"I said, why did this baby in our family always choke on milk when she was feeding in the past two days? Is it a cold or something? The three children didn't have this before. Chen's second sister-in-law saw that the man was angry with the three nerves, and the words returned to her own child.

"How do I know this, or let's ask a gentleman to come and show the child. Second Brother Chen frowned.

"I'm thinking about this, it's not a problem for this child to choke on milk all the time. Chen's second sister-in-law stared at the man and said.

"I'm going to hire a gentleman, and I'll finish work and eat at this time, and I won't have time at night. Second Brother Chen said and went out.

Second Brother Chen walked out of the village not long ago, and saw Lai Baoqing's woman standing on a crossroads with Lai Mao in her hands, and Lai Mao was facing the place where the old madman was hanged. He immediately knew in his heart that this was Lai Baoqing's woman calling Lai Mao's soul. Two days ago, Lai Mao scared the old madman, and he had to call it like this for three days in a row to call back the soul that Lai Mao had scared away. When calling souls, you can't make noise around them, otherwise, the scared souls won't be able to hear the cries of their families, and it will be difficult for them to come back. He bypassed Lai Baoqing's woman and Lai Mao, and cut a path diagonally to ask for a gentleman for his child.

Lai Baoqing's woman first bent down on the ground and drew a circle with a branch, and then drew a cross in the circle, and Lai Mao stood on this cross facing the direction of the lost soul. After a while, she reached out and grabbed it in the direction of Lai Mao's lost soul, and then put the caught soul on the back of Lai Mao's head, and at the same time shouted in her mouth: "Lai Mao, you're here!" After Lai Mao answered, she pinched one of Lai Mao's earlobes with one hand, and said in her mouth: "Touch the earlobes, Lai Mao will not lose his soul." In this way, she stretched out her hand to grab Lai Mao's soul six times in a row, and her mouth also put the soul of Lai Mao six times into the back of Lai Mao's head and shouted six sentences, "Lai Mao, come home." Lai Mao responded with six sentences, "Coming". After she pinched Lai Mao's earlobe for the sixth time, she took Lai Mao's hand and walked home without looking back, and as she walked, she shouted "Lai Mao, come home", and Lai Mao also responded to her shouts sentence by sentence.

This kind of soul calling seems so simple, in fact, there are a lot of exquisiteness, on the way home after calling the soul, no matter who you meet, no matter what others will say, you can't accept it, otherwise, the soul called back will be lost halfway. If the soul that is called back is lost halfway, it will run around without direction, and it will be difficult to call it back. Those who came over also knew these rules, and if someone called the soul of the child back, they would avoid it from a distance, so as not to alarm the soul that had not yet completely bowed over.

Lai Maoniang took Lai Mao's hand and hurried back all the way, and her mouth was not idle. She was afraid that she would run into a mouthy guy in the middle of the road, and the child's soul would not be able to call it back. Not to mention, people often say that if you are afraid, you will have ghosts, and if you itch, you will have lice. She pulled Lai Mao into the village and ran into the old smoking gun woman with a broken mouth. This woman, except for a mouth, is no one. She couldn't help frowning, she wanted to avoid this woman, but she couldn't dodge anymore. She sighed inwardly.

"Hey, what are these two girls doing, rushing back in such a panic?" Breaking his mouth and seeing Lai Maoniang and Lai Mao, he greeted them with a smile from afar, "Could it be that you found a gold ingots on the road or something, so anxious to go home, afraid that people will know?"

Lai Maoniang just wanted to open her mouth to reply to her, but she felt a spirit in her heart, and she couldn't talk to her, this was to call the child's soul back, and the child's soul followed behind her.

"Why don't you speak? I must have found something valuable, I'm afraid I'll miss out when I talk to me!" Seeing that Lai Maoniang didn't respond to her greeting, she still said some funny things to Lai Maoniang with a smile on her face.

Lai Maoniang muttered in her heart that she must not say anything to this woman with a broken mouth, otherwise, the child's soul will be lost to her broken mouth. She couldn't help but squeeze Lai Mao's hand, and muttered: "Lai Mao, I'm here!"

When Lai Mao heard his mother's call, he responded: "It's here!"

"What's coming? This kid is talking in his dreams at noon!" Broken Scoop didn't know what was going on, so he followed Lai Mao's words, "The little chicken boy is still here, do you have the ability to come? It's a woman's business." ”

Lai Maoniang's heart was on fire for a while, this woman with a broken mouth was really a broken mouth! She glanced at the broken mouth, puffed out her cheeks and dragged Lai Mao to continue to walk home.

"What's wrong with you woman?Where did I offend you?" Seeing Lai Maoniang puffing out her cheeks at herself, she was also confused for a while, what is wrong with this woman today, I talked to her with a smiling face, why did she still look at me like this?

Lai Maoniang still didn't respond to the woman with a broken mouth, but just dragged Lai Mao to rush home.

The broken mouth was not happy, so he chased after Lai Maoniang and the two of them, and kept asking Lai Maoniang: "I said Lai Maoniang, I don't have a place to stop you, you have to tell me a word today." ”

Lai Maoniang dragged Lai Mao's steps tighter and faster, and hurried to the door without looking back. At this time, she let go of her voice and shouted into the courtyard: "Lai Mao, I'm here." ”

Lai Baoqing, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, heard the woman shouting in such a voice outside the yard, so he opened his throat in the yard and replied: "It's here!"

"This is a soul for the child, I wonder I have to pay attention to me, I thought I offended you somewhere. Only then did she understand why Lai Maoniang didn't talk to her along the way.

Lai Maoniang helped Lai Mao to stand down at the gate of the yard, she stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the direction she came over, and then put the soul on the back of Lai Mao's head, touched Lai Mao's hair and pinched Lai Mao's earlobe, and said, "Touch Mao, you can't be scared." Pinching the earlobe, Lai Mao returned to his soul. When she had done that, she patted Lai Mao on the head and said, "Go home!"

Lai Mao's soul called Lai Maoniang home, and she turned around to talk to Broken Scoop Mouth.

"Isn't this kid Lai Mao scared by the old madman's hanging two days ago, this is a soul for him, how can I talk to you halfway. Lai Maoniang explained to Po Scoop Mouth, "Today is the last day, and the child's soul is called back, and this heart is steady." ”

"I didn't know you were calling the soul of a child, and if I had, I wouldn't have talked to you. Po Scoop said with a little sorry look, "Didn't your family Lai Mao Dad also bump into the soul of the old madman two days ago? After speaking, she wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Lai Maoniang.

"What can this say, what is it exquisite, Lai Mao's father is weak and timid, and there is a mouse or something in the house at night, and he sleeps with his head covered by the quilt. A big man, when he gets up in the middle of the night, he has to be lit first, or he doesn't dare to get out of bed. "Lai Maoniang didn't think that the soul of the old madman had anything to say about her own family.

"That's cowardly! Our family is not the one who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he can put on a cigarette pouch and smoke when he is blind," the broken mouth seems to be a little show-off for the old smoking gun to be able to hold a cigarette smoking pouch in the middle of the night, "he coughed so much that he couldn't keep his mouth, and the mice in the house were so frightened by his cough that he didn't dare to move." ”

"It's good to save yourself from feeding the cats and catching the mice. Lai Maoniang smiled and pouted.

"Isn't that right? Really, there are far fewer rats in our house than in other people's houses. Po Scoop nodded, suddenly stared at Lai Maoniang and asked, "Have you heard?" There seems to be something rumored about the three nerves, but we haven't seen this with our own eyes, and we don't dare to say exactly." ”

Lai Maoniang looked at the broken mouth strangely and shook her head.

"Someone saw that he was not right with the chicken-eyed woman's eyes. The broken mouth approached Lai Maoniang and whispered mysteriously.

Lai Maoniang was taken aback, and immediately said to Po Kou with a straight face: "You can't talk nonsense about this! Don't talk about something that you don't have, and there will be a big problem when the time comes." ”

"I don't believe that there is such a thing, the three nerves and that virtue, who will have an eyebrow with him. The woman with chicken eyes is much younger than his three nerves, what can she do with his three nerves? But people say that they have noses and eyes, and they also say that they have seen the two of them come out of the wheat field with their pants on their shoulders last year. Broken pouts pouted and said very differently.

"I'm going to cook for their grandfather, and after eating, I have to go to work in the fields. Go back to cooking, and don't tell me about it, I didn't hear anything about what you just said. Lai Maoniang saw that she still wanted to say something, so she excused herself to make lunch and urged her to go back.

"Our family has eaten, steamed vegetables in the morning, and I cook two meals at a time, saving firewood and trouble. The broken mouth didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lai Maoniang's words, and said with a smile.

"The whole family eats leftovers? This day has just warmed up, aren't you afraid of colding the appetite of the family?" Lai Maoniang also knew that Broken Scoop Mouth often ate two meals at such a meal, but she still pretended to be surprised and looked at Broken Scoop Mouth.

"Our Zhuang family, all of them have iron appetites, not so delicate. Besides, the family is used to it, and the appetite has been grinded out, and it's okay to eat ice cubes in winter. Broken Mouth seemed to hone his family's appetite so proudly that he was not afraid of freezing, "We people are so hungry that we can swallow bricks and tiles in our stomachs." ”

"That's because the people in your family are strong, unlike our family, they have a few grandfathers, and when a meal is made, the grandfathers will have stomach troubles. Lai Maoniang looked at the broken mouth, and felt that she was wondering, this woman was really strange, and other women felt different, a mouth swaggered everywhere like a fairy scattered flowers all day long, and it was estimated that she would not be allowed to eat, covering her mouth to prevent her from talking, which was as uncomfortable as strangling her neck with a rope. Is her tongue much longer than that of other women, and she is restless if she doesn't move back and forth in her mouth?

"At the beginning, our family was not used to it, but slowly I let them get used to it. Look at the children in our family, they have never seen any diseases or disasters, and they are strong. Po Scoop stretched out his head to look at the courtyard of Lai Mao's house, and said, "As far as the body and bones of your Lai Mao's father are trained, if they are trained in my hands, it will take three or two months, and they will be trained to the point that they can gnaw iron bumps, and his body will be strong." In your hands, why is he still empty, is he moving too much at night? Men's little things, can't stand the toss of our women, haven't you heard? Eating a cow during the day is not enough to flow first-class at night. In the future, you will toss him less at night, and slowly your body will become hard. We don't toss him often with the old smoking gun, and if I toss him often, he smokes so much cigarette pouch, and I don't toss him out of the shelf. ”

Lai Maoniang saw the broken mouth and looked into her own yard, and immediately knew in her heart that she wanted to enter the yard and sneer at her broken scoop mouth, if this woman entered her own yard, this mouth would be the water that opened the floodgates, and there would be a puff, maybe she could puff out anything else that could provoke right and wrong.

Seeing that Lai Maoniang didn't mean to let her into the yard, she immediately smiled and said to Lai Maoniang: "I went to your house to ask for some water to drink, and I ate a stomach full of steamed vegetables, and the dishes also let me put too much salt when I mixed noodles, and I didn't drink water at home, so I was thirsty for a while." ”

Lai Maoniang's head slammed to the ground, this woman was not easy to get rid of today, and it was stuck like a dog skin plaster. Just when she didn't know how to let go into her yard, she suddenly saw a three-nerve woman coming over with a big belly and two buckets of water. This three nerves are really, the woman's body is like this, and she is not distressed. She hurried over, and shouted from afar for the three-nerve woman to put the bucket down.
