"Ah Fu, I'm from the outside, and I'm not used to your life here, so I won't be with you anyway. I hope you'll let me go. Cheng Yao explained her position straightforwardly. If Ah Fu can respect her, if Ah Fu wants to use force, she will definitely give him a little hardship.
It seemed very unlikely that someone here would help him go out, so Cheng Yao decided to get through the night first and leave by himself early tomorrow morning. Originally, it was best to walk at night, and no one would find out, but the winter night in the mountains was particularly cold, and Cheng Yao didn't know the way, and he would freeze to death if he wasn't eaten by wild beasts. Why do such a futile thing!
Ah Fu sat down far away from Cheng Yao, "I know you don't want to, but my father and mother have to do this, and I can't help it." I am an only son, and I must carry on my lineage. ”
"Ah Fu, why did your mother only give birth to you, and no one interfered with how many children you had here, right?" In order to delay time, Cheng Yao tried to find a topic.
"We have poor conditions here, and although there are many births in each family, very few survive. My family was like this, there were seven or eight births, and in the end, I was the only one left. "There is a shortage of medical treatment here, and only people who are naturally good can survive.
"I see that some of you here got married and had children when you were just over ten years old, why haven't you started a family yet?" Ah Fu doesn't look like a particularly stupid person, why is he so old and hasn't gotten married?
"I used to have a daughter-in-law, and when I gave birth, all the adults and children died." Ah Fu said dejectedly.
Cheng Yao didn't know what to say for a while. Such living conditions, but the people here do not want to change, and they are still happy. What does this make people say?
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Ah Fu's mother went to open the door, followed by the fat woman's loud voice, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I want your Ah Fu daughter-in-law to help me see my son." He's crying again. ”
"On this happy day, I just fell asleep." Ah Fu Niang was a little embarrassed.
"Mother, we haven't slept yet, open the door!" Ah Fu hurriedly said without waiting for his mother's voice to land.
Ah Fu had already said so, and his mother had to open the door.
Cheng Yao followed the fat woman to her house. The child was already crying weakly and hoarsely, but he still cried involuntarily.
Cheng Yao instructed them to find some peach branches, there were not far behind the house, the fat aunt man hurriedly went to pick a few branches, Cheng Yao used the peach branches above the child to draw and chant the words, the child immediately stopped crying, and after a while, he fell asleep groggy.
Cheng Yao told her fat sister-in-law that every night before going to bed in the future, she would wrap seven one-inch long peach branches in a seven-colored cloth and put them in water to bathe the child, and wash them for seven days in a row, so that the child could get rid of the evil spirit, and there would be no more inexplicable crying in the future.
The fat sister-in-law and his wife wrote down one by one, and their faces were relieved.
"Fat sister-in-law, I'll stay with you tonight." Cheng Yao's tone is non-negotiable, he has done such a favor, and it is not too much to make such a request!
The fat sister-in-law and his wife looked embarrassed, according to common sense, such a request is not excessive, isn't it just a one-night stay? But tonight was unusual, it was the day of the round house. On one side is the benefactor who saved the child, on the other hand, there is a blind date next to each other, and there is still a round house waiting for it! They discussed for a long time, and finally agreed to stay with Cheng Yao for one night, after all, they couldn't refuse the favor of others, and the fat sister-in-law man went to Ah Fu's house to sue them. As for how to explain, Cheng Yao didn't want to worry about asking.
No mobile phone, no electricity, no time, Cheng Yao didn't know when, she slept in the humble side room of her fat sister-in-law's house, and began to sleep after practicing spells for a while, she had to take care of her spirits and prepare for the next day's escape.
When the rooster crowed all over again, Cheng Yao woke up, but seeing that it was still dark outside, she didn't dare to act rashly, and when the rooster crowed for the third time, a little light was faintly revealed in the sky.
Cheng Yao tiptoed out of the door, and was about to walk towards the courtyard gate, when the fat sister-in-law opened the door of their room, and the fat sister-in-law walked out with messy hair, yawning, and buttoning her clothes in her hands.
When he saw Cheng Yao, he shouted, "Do you want to go to the thatched house?" Outside the door. As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Yao out of the courtyard. Pointing to a simple room outside, "You go up first." ”
Cheng Yao secretly complained in her heart, this fat sister-in-law didn't go to the thatched house early or late, but she went to the thatched house when Cheng Yao was about to leave, alas!
But the fat sister-in-law outside said: "I haven't slept well in the past three or four days, I finally slept well last night, and I got up late today."
Cheng Yao looked at the sky and it was still dark, was it still too late? What does it mean to get up earlier than a chicken, and it refers to this kind of person! It's really speechless.
Cheng Yao came out of the thatched house and changed her fat sister-in-law to go in, Cheng Yao thought, let's run away at this time! Run to the woods and hide, wait until the sky is completely bright and leave, you can't tell the difference between southeast and north, and when the sun comes out, look at the direction of the sun, and the direction of going back seems to be north
