The waning moon is like a hook, casually poking its head out of the clouds, sprinkling a dim light on the land of Wuhua. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are beautiful scenery of the garden, there are splendor, and there are ruined houses.

There is a dilapidated courtyard at the foot of Donghua Wuli Mountain, which stands in the barren forest in the lonely room, feeling desolate.

Shen Yaohua broke free from the nightmare in a cold sweat, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of dead fish-like eyes, and the ugly face was so close to her that she was so close to her that her breath was entangled.

She was startled, sat up wrapped in a thin quilt and shrunk into the bed and asked softly, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

The worn-out bed squeaked and rattled with her movements, and her heart jumped for fear of startling the old woman standing by her bedside.

The gray-haired old woman didn't seem to hear her, and her triangular eyes, which had been pulled down and only a slit in them, were still staring at the place where the pillow had sunken down, where she had just been pillowing.

The old woman was ugly, her face was covered with the signs of age, and her body exuded the rotten smell of twilight years, which made her look cold and lifeless.

Shen Yaohua didn't know how long she had been stared at by her, and her beating heart couldn't calm down, I don't know if it was because of a dream or because of this hideous old woman.

"You're dying."

The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she stared at the depression on the pillow and laughed twice, revealing the mutilated teeth and dark gums in her mouth.

Shen Yaohua didn't dare to make a sound, tightened the quilt on his body, lowered his eyes and waited for the following. She had lived with the old goddess for eleven years, and it was not the first time that such a thing had happened, and she was no longer so frightened that she burst into tears.

She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, born on Halloween, with a black birthmark the size of a copper coin at the corner of her left eye, not crying or laughing, plus the death of Mrs. Shen, the dead leaves in the courtyard fell overnight, and the poultry in the house died overnight.

She was thrown into the barren mountains and picked up by the old goddess.

The goddess refers to the mother-in-law of the dancing god, who can't afford to invite monks and Taoists to recruit evil spirits, they will invite this kind of cheap disaster destroyer to sing and dance for a while.

Before Shen Yaohua was seven years old, there were many people who came to invite the old goddess, and after the age of seven, the old goddess broke her leg in a disaster and was no longer able to exorcise evil spirits.

Except for telling her to do things, the old goddess hardly spoke to her, and was neither good nor bad for her.

doesn't care about her or beat and scold her, two people who have lived together for more than ten years, they don't even know each other's names, her food, clothing and housing are very poor, she can't eat enough and can't starve to death, she can't wear warm clothes and don't freeze.

"You're going to be struck by lightning."

After a quarter of an hour, the old goddess muttered, turned around, and dragged her broken leg on her back, and disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Yaohua sat for a while, and when his heartbeat slowly calmed down, he slowly lay back on the bed, his big eyes open in a daze.

This is the third time that the old goddess has prophesied that she will die.

Four years ago, when I was first woken up by an old lady in the middle of the night, I was almost frightened, and the old lady said the same thing at that time: You are dying.

It was almost a quarter of an hour before the old lady said again: you will be drowned.

The next day when the old goddess said that she would drown, she went to the mountains to collect firewood, and inexplicably slipped and rolled down the slope and fell into the mire, if it were not for a dead vine on the edge of the weeping pool, she would have really died in the mire.

When she was nine years old, the old lady said that she would be bitten to death, but she ran into a wolf where she had been wandering for nine years, and she was chased to a tree, where she survived for three days and three nights by eating leaves, and she did not dare to come down unless the villagers passed by.

The wolf pretended to leave and return again and again, and when it sat under the tree and looked at her, the wolf had the same persistence in his eyes as she did.

Now it's the third time, seven years old, nine years old, eleven, every two years, each time in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, when Halloween is approaching, and it is also before her birthday.

This time the old goddess said that she would be killed by lightning, so she would have to be careful tomorrow.

If it rains tomorrow, she'll have to stay in the house anyway. I heard that some evil people will be killed by thunder, she has never done anything hurtful, I don't believe that she will sit in the room and Lei will find her.

On the second day, the old goddess put on the colorful clothes she wore when she danced the great god, hung strips of colorful cloth around the courtyard with a cane, and instructed her to carry a half-human high copper incense burner to the courtyard.

The body of the furnace was already heavy, and it was almost filled with incense ash, Shen Yaohua wasted all his strength, and only reluctantly moved the incense burner.

She found a wooden basin and planned to put the incense ash out of the stove and pour the ash into it, but as soon as she touched the ash she was struck on the back of her hand with a cane.

Shen Yaohua snorted in pain, withdrew his hand and looked, the back of his hand was bruised and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't be flattering, you must move to the courtyard with your own hands!"

The old goddess snorted, and the old woman's eyes were shining.

The so-called Wanjiafu is a handful of incense ashes brought back by the old goddess every time she exorcises evil spirits, and she has accumulated a full furnace.

It was the first time for the old goddess to be so strict with her, Shen Yaohua lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth and pushed and hugged the top, trying all the means and using all her strength to move the incense burner to the courtyard.

The old goddess had already set up the incense case, and on the desk was a white jade statue the size of a palm.

The statue is a woman, Shen Yaohua originally thought it was Guanyin, but after a closer look, it was not.

The statue is meticulously carved, and the woman's clothes and expressions are carved vividly.

She should be wearing a wide white robe, with a wonderful figure that is about to fly. She turned her back to the sky, her hands to the sky, her eyes closed as if in prayer, peaceful and solemn.

"Come here, kowtow, when I let you get up, you can get up."

The old goddess's cane tapped on the ground, and there was a cloud-like cushion.

Seeing Shen Yaohua's hesitation, the old goddess shouted angrily, "Come and kowtow to the goddess!" Be sure to pray sincerely and silently and ask the goddess to save your life! ”

Shen Yaohua had no choice but to kneel down, put her hands together, and silently chanted a prayer for the goddess to save her life and knock her head, although she was kneeling on the soft cushion, there was a blue brick floor in front of her, and she knocked down one after another, and soon her forehead hurt.

She was about to let go of her strength, and suddenly received a heavy cane on her back, and before she could cry out in pain, the old goddess had already reprimanded: "If it weren't for the old body to prevent disasters and misfortunes for you all these years, you would have been a dry bone, and now the old body is no longer able to protect you, if you can't ask for the help of the goddess, not only will you die, but even the old body will have to put the old bones into it, and you will not hesitate to think about the old body of your broken leg, for your disease!" ”

Shen Yaohua Huo Ran raised his head and exclaimed, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" ”

The old goddess glared at her, and said with a cold face: "You will know if you have escaped this disaster, don't talk nonsense, kowtow quickly, remember, you must be sincere, otherwise the goddess will not hear your prayers at all." ”

"It's too late." The old goddess raised her eyes to look at the thickening clouds in the sky, and suddenly took out a small black dagger, slashed a knife on Shen Yaohua's forehead and the palms of both hands, and ordered: "Continue to kowtow!" ”

Shen Yaohua's hands and forehead were in hot pain, and the liquid with boiling soup slowly flowed into her eyes, she blinked and blinked, the liquid seemed to stick to her eyes, and only her eyes hurt.

'Boom boom ......boom' she knocked her head down, and thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and it suddenly went dark around her, she raised her eyes to look at the sky, but in a short moment, the whole sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning and thunder accompanied by torrential rain crashed down.
