Chapter 1199: Fear is Born of the Unknown
"Qian'er!" Xiao Qian's mother came back with a pot of soup, and she still carried a few talismans in her hand, and gave it to Yu Minglang when she came in.
"Quick, it's burned outside the community-hey, there's a guest at home?" Xiao Qian's mother saw Qi Yuxuan, nodded politely, turned her head and explained to Yu Minglang.
"Hurry up and take it out and burn it along the north side of the community. ”
"What is this?" Yu Minglang looked at the pile wrapped in yellow paper and was a little speechless.
"Soul Talisman, I begged people to draw it with great difficulty, our Qian'er must have been frightened today, hurry up and burn it, by the way, you can carry a bottle of wine down, get some wine and pour it on the road, and then burn a few pieces of yellow paper to sacrifice those lonely souls and ghosts, and finally put the incense on. ”
Qi Yuxuan looked at Xiao Qian's mother and said there like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"That's... Mom, it's not appropriate to burn these in our family home, right?" Yu Minglang said euphemistically.
Not to mention that he himself doesn't believe in these paper-burning or anything, just say that he, as the captain of the brigade, takes the lead in engaging in these superstitious activities at the gate of the courtyard, which is not appropriate, right?
If the commissar sees it, this will not ink him for a day?
"Why is it inappropriate? No matter what kind of courtyard you are, people have to call their souls when they are frightened! If you don't call them stupid, you will delay my grandson... What about women? I can ask, this will have to be burned by the head of the family, or I will want to burn it back. ”
Xiao Qian rubbed her temples, "Mom, can you not be a god all day long?"
"What do you call Shinto? Mom is still for you! You think this is a good request, I have been queuing for a long time! Hurry up and burn it, people say that it is not good for Qian'er not to burn, and it is not good to give birth if you don't burn the child!" Xiao Qian's mother looked at Qi Yuxuan while counting her daughter.
"Brother, are you my uncle's colleague?
"I'm a public face, and anyone who looks at me feels familiar. Qi Yuxuan said with a smile.
Xiaoqian's mother tilted her head and thought about it for a long time without remembering, "yes, I don't think I've seen you somewhere..."
"I'm Xiaoqian's doctoral supervisor, and I'm here to talk to her about homework today, and we'll see each other a lot in the future. ”
"Oh, it's a teacher, didn't my daughter trouble you?"
Xiaoqian's mother doesn't understand what a doctoral supervisor is, and when she hears someone say that the teacher is used to polite sentences.
"She's smart. It's my luck that I can be treated to such a smart child, and you are so blessed to have such a good daughter. ”
"That's not it!" Xiaoqian's mother likes others to praise her daughter, so she sat directly on the sofa and began to show off.
"My daughter is excellent in character and learning, and she is very filial, and our neighbors envy me, she-"
"Mom, aren't you watching TV anymore?" Xiaoqian couldn't stand the interruption, her mother was a little embarrassed to praise herself like this.
"It's okay, let your mother tell me, I want to know more about you. ”
Hearing Qi Yuxuan say this, Xiao Qian's mother instantly came to her senses, she thought that Qi Yuxuan's asking these questions was like a home visit to a primary school student, and immediately started the mode of praising her daughter.
"My daughter is smart when she is young, and her grades have not fallen past the top three in the grade, if it weren't for her illness and abnormality, she would have been the top student in the college entrance examination - Minglang, don't stand, hurry up and burn the paper!"
Qi Yuxuan looked at Xiao Qian's mother and then at Xiao Qian, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was calculating.
"Qianbaobao, you go with him, just treat it as a solution to your mother's doubts, I will do a simple 'treatment' for your mother here, and I will definitely not let her have a psychological shadow." ”
"Okay. Xiao Qian was convinced of Qi Yuxuan's words, and got up and went out with Yu Minglang.
Xiao Qian went downstairs with Yu Minglang, and Xiao Qian complained.
"You said my mother, I don't care about her, she looks pitiful and unbearable, but look at her, she makes these things every day, this brain is too superstitious!"
Yu Minglang found a place where there was no one in the lee, and patted the beauty's head, "Go and let the wind go, someone is coming to call me!"
"Wang!"
Xiao Qian was really speechless when she saw that he really took out a lighter and prepared to burn it.
"My mother is uneducated, and you are not educated?! How did you get your two master's degrees? I'll go to Yu Gang and ask him to give you a good lecture against superstition!"
"Who told our mother to say that it's not good for you not to burn, and said that if you don't burn the child, it's not good to give birth... If she wants to say that it's not good for me if she doesn't burn it, I really won't burn it. ”
Yu Minglang muttered, is it easy for him, the dignified captain has fallen to burning paper, and he has to secretly burn it while people are not paying attention!
"Tsk, this is how these feudal superstitious things have captured the fear of you people, just scare a few words and you will believe it!" Xiao Qian didn't believe it at all, what kind of burning paper, drinking or something, it sounds like it's fooling.
"It's not that I believe it, but I think it's a bit of a shame to gamble with you and your children. "Yu Minglang usually baby Xiaoqian, but now that Xiaoqian has a child, he can't listen to any bad words.
"So, some of the current goddesses just like to scare people like this, and if you don't believe it, you will be unlucky for many years, and if you don't do this, the whole family will die-"
"Hey, isn't that the South China Tiger?" Yu Minglang couldn't listen to these extreme words now, and he had also learned Xiao Qian's clumsy skill in changing the topic, pointing to the sky and saying.
Xiao Qian pushed him funny, "Why are you so boring!"
Anyone will accept bad words, but more people will still prefer to believe them.
In fact, some superstitions are also taking advantage of people's weaknesses in their hearts, people have the psychology of avoiding evil and seeking good fortune, if you add a sentence of unbelief to suffer some retribution, most people will feel afraid, even if they don't believe it, they don't dare to say a bad word, and they are all to push revenge to the world or the future after death, anyway, they can't see it now but make people have a shadow in their hearts.
"In the early years, it was very popular to write unbelieving letters, you know? It is to tie some small money to a letter, and then the letter is not written and sent out, and it will be bad luck within a few days. ”
As soon as Xiao Qian said Yu Minglang, she nodded, "Yes, we have set up a special team, I organized the children in the courtyard to look around, took down all the money and threw the letters, and in the end it seems that there are several dollars sorted together." ”
At that time, a few dollars was a huge amount of money! The big guy bought snacks and had a celebration party.
"This letter is to grasp the weakness of people's hearts, luck, death, the world after death, these are unknown worlds for us, we are always afraid of the unknown, and then get some money to attract people's attention, use greed to intimidate, a small unfortunate letter actually contains so much psychology Said, so psychology is not far from us, often liars and bad people grasp the psychology of human nature weaknesses more than ordinary people, Xiaoqiang You said that when you train the soldiers, why do you have to take the soldiers to see the death penalty? ”
"Breaking the fear of death for us, we feel terrible because we have never seen it, and if we haven't seen it, we will imagine a lot, but after seeing it, we will find that it is nothing more than that, and it will be calm. ”
