Chapter 8 Riverside Practices

Anjiajia and the others were already getting dark when they went out, and most of them were eating dinner at home at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info An Jiajia was held in his arms by An Guodong's strong arms, and He Xianglan followed closely by her side, carrying a basket in her hand, but it was covered with a cloth, and she didn't know what was inside.

"Mom and Dad, where are we going?" As a child, An Jiajia naturally has to show fear, otherwise it is easy to be suspected.

"Jiajia is not afraid, let's go to the river for a walk, and we will go home soon," An Guodong comforted her softly.

It is said to be by the river, but it is actually the stream in front of the house, because everyone has basically gone home for dinner, so there is no one to see by the river at this time. When the three of them arrived at the river, they stood and waited, and after a while, An Jiajia saw a figure staggering towards this side in the darkening night.

"Here," He Xianglan whispered to An Guodong. When the figure walked in, An Jiajia saw the appearance of Granny Ling, which was different from what she saw in the morning.

In the morning, Granny Ling sat on the Taishi's chair, but now, she has come over. The thin body is slumped, and the steps are not particularly steady, but the eyes that are a little gloomy are very shrewd, as if they are really different from ordinary people.

"Here," Granny Ling said, taking a puff of her cigarette, spitting the smoke ring out of her mouth as she spoke. An Jiajia was facing her head-on, so she choked directly.

"Ahem," An Jiajia turned her head uncomfortably, lying on An Guodong's shoulder to avoid the choking smell of smoke, An Guodong didn't dare to say anything, but he would reach out to help An Jiajia smooth his breath.

Granny Ling glanced at An Jiajia and continued to smoke her cigarette, "Something ready?" ”

"Ready!" He Xianglan hurriedly said, she hopes to finish the matter quickly when there are few people at this time, otherwise people will come to watch and talk about it, I am afraid it will affect An Jiajia's reputation.

"It's set," Granny Ling's voice was vicissitudes, that hoarse gave people a cold feeling, if it weren't for the plan to go home, An Jiajia really wanted to run away now!

"Yes, yes," He Xianglan respected Granny Ling very much, and when she asked her to set it up, she immediately lifted the cloth, took out the three wild peaches in the basket and a plate of round and fat glutinous rice balls and put them on the ground, and then struck a match and lit a stick of incense and inserted it on the ground, and finally took out a bowl of water in the basket and put it down.

An Jiajia turned her head curiously, saw He Xianglan's actions, and muttered in her heart: Is this the rhythm of worshipping God?

"Granny Ling?" He Xianglan stepped aside and looked at Granny Ling's face.

"Put the child down and make her kneel," Granny Ling took another puff of her cigarette, and then tapped her pipe twice on the ground, knocking out the burned tobacco inside before pinning it to her belt.

An Jiajia was put on the ground by An Guodong, "Jiajia, kneel!" An Guodong pressed An Jiajia and made her kneel on the ground, as if he Xianglan had placed wild peaches and glutinous rice balls in front of her.

An Jiajia disdains this feudal ritual of kneeling down and worshiping God, but no matter how reluctant she is, she can't stand up and resist, in case it is seen that it is not really An Jiajia, and she herself wants to see what this spirit woman is.

An Jiajia knelt on the ground, turned her head and watched as Granny Ling took out a peachwood sword from her waist, and then grabbed a piece of talisman paper between her index and middle fingers. Granny Ling stood up straight, stood beside An Jiajia, waved her peach sword with one hand, and put the rune paper in front of her with the other, chanting words in her mouth.

An Jiajia's forehead slid down the black line, and she really couldn't expect it, she was just a fool in the countryside. An Jiajia lowered her head and sighed, her knees hurt so much, when can I get up?

Suddenly, An Jiajia saw the tip of the peachwood sword stretched out to the bowl of water, and there was a burning rune paper on it, An Jiajia was stunned.

When the rune paper burned almost enough, Granny Ling stretched the rune paper into the water, the fire was extinguished, and An Jiajia smelled the stench of burning in the air.

Granny Ling took back the peachwood sword, "Feed her and drink!" He Xianglan immediately walked over and picked up the bowl of water, An Jiajia's eyes widened with fright, let her drink gray water? Don't, she's really done after drinking! Feudal superstition really kills people!

But He Xianglan trusted Granny Ling's words very much, and when she picked up the bowl and wanted to feed An Jiajia to drink, An Jiajia naturally wanted to resist. At this time, An Guodong came over and hugged An Jiajia, holding her hands and feet, where could the poor six-year-old doll break free from the arms of a strong man?

An Jiajia looked at the sky in despair, and was poured by He Xianglan to drink the bowl of runic water, which was a taste that An Jiajia would never forget for the rest of her life, it was terrible!

After feeding An Jiajia and drinking Fu Shui, An Guodong hugged An Jiajia to comfort her, and He Xianglan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Granny Ling, thank you very much!" ”

"Well, the old rule is," Granny Ling finished speaking, glanced at An Jiajia, and then dragged her rickety body away, still staggering.

"Jiajia, let's go home," An Guodong saw that An Jiajia didn't speak, patted her little body to comfort her, He Xianglan didn't take away the wild peaches and glutinous rice balls, but just took away the bowl and basket containing the runic water.

When they got home, An Yingying and the three of them had already boiled water and finished taking a bath, "Mom and Dad, there is boiling hot water in the pot, give Jiajia a bath!" An Yingying saw An Jiajia lying on An Guodong's shoulder, thinking that she was so tired that she fell asleep.

"Okay, I'll take Jiajia to take a bath," He Xianglan went to the room to get clothes, and An Guodong took An Jiajia to the kitchen and waited.

An Jiajia was weak when she took a bath, she wanted to vomit, but the consequences of vomiting were very serious, the point was that she couldn't vomit either, and when it was over, she would definitely have a stomach!

"Jiajia, it's okay, just get some sleep!" He Xianglan thought that An Jiajia was frightened by Granny Ling, so she got dressed and hugged her out.

He Xianglan put An Jiajia on the bed and went to take a bath, and An Guodong sorted out the farm tools in the yard. An Yingyong saw An Jiajia's loveless expression and sneaked into the room to see her.

"Jiajia," An Yingyong sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, "What does the rune water taste like?" ”

"Second brother!" An Jiajia was annoyed, "Do you believe that I told my father that you sneaked out to see it?" ”

"Don't, the second brother didn't mean it, he just wanted to know what you were doing," An Yingyong was afraid of An Guodong, so he naturally didn't dare to let him know that he had gone out to peek.

"Now you know?" An Jiajia was not angry, she knew that this second brother had a bad personality, but she didn't expect him to dare to sneak out to see, if only he came over to save himself at that time.

"I don't dare to go over to save you, I'll be beaten to death by my father!"

"Did I say it?" An Jiajia was dumbfounded, it seems that it is better for her to keep her mouth shut and sleep, so as to save her stomach in the middle of the night and not be able to get up.
