Chapter Seventy-Two: The Flower Woman
After leaving Longfu Temple, Wu Fen stopped, and what the dragon host said just now made her suspicious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She came with her master and was also sent by Fang Zheng, and there is an obvious contradiction between these two sentences. The reason why he didn't refute it was because of the monks' words, and their own words seemed pale and weak.
Seeing a pool of clear ponds on the right side of the temple, Wu Fen walked over and sat down on the sandalwood pier next to it. There was a light rain in the sky, dripping down the clear pool, and there were microwaves on the water. Clusters of water lilies dance lightly with flowers and leaves, and the shadows are charming.
Who is tampering with my memory, is it Master Qingfeng or Master? and the last trip to the provincial capital, the memory of her previous life became more and more blurred, and she couldn't even remember the appearance of that scumbag.
In this life, there are many unfamiliar faces in the previous life, and many things have happened, and now it seems that grandpa, grandpa Sun, Fang Zheng, master, Gu Lao ......, their identities do not seem to be simple.
Compared with them, he is still so weak when he comes back from rebirth, he can only be anxious about Grandpa Sun's death, and he can't help him, and he can't even help his grandfather when he is in danger now.
After pondering in the rain for a long time, it was not until the temple gate was closed that Wu Fen stood up and walked down the winding mountain road.
When passing by the Huanglong Cave on the way, Wu Fen took out a pair of silk gloves from his small bag, turned around the woods twice, and saw that the ground was firm and there were not many footprints, so he bowed down from the entrance of the cave with confidence.
This Huanglong Cave is a natural rock cave, about 1 meter wide and high, Wu Fen turned on the flashlight in his hand and walked slowly forward with the faint light. The path inside is damp, but it is getting wider and wider, walking for more than half an hour, seeing a wall, Wu Fen was silent for a long time, after making sure that no one was coming, his body flashed, and he kicked twice in the corner of the wall, only to see that the whole wall shook a few times, and a wide crack appeared.
Turned to the side. Wu Fen took off her shoes. Squeeze into that gap, and you will be greeted by a patch of hibiscus flowers.
"Granny Flower!" Wu Fen jumped up, picked up a large pink petal hibiscus flower in his hand, put it between his nose and sniffed it. His round eyes swept around the flowers.
I saw an old dwarf come out from behind a hibiscus tree not far away. "Don't break my flowers. You girl has so much energy, don't destroy the flowers. ”
Wu Fen's eyes were moist, and her joy and excitement were overflowing. pouted: "It turns out that I don't have enough hibiscus flowers, it's really sad." ”
The dwarf old man, who was also Granny Hua, looked at Wu Fen's face and sniffed lightly, "You have a sandalwood fragrance on your body, you have entered the temple." ”
Wu Fen nodded, her expression becoming cold, "Granny Hua, can anyone in this world tamper with other people's memories at will?" ”
Hua Po turned around and brought Wu Fen to a thatched house, "The world is full of wonders. Just like me, an old woman, when I reach this age where I know my destiny, I should lie in the pavilion wood, instead of living in this square inch year after year. ”
Wu Fen stared at Hua Po's face, her face was seriously loose and sagging, and when she spoke, she could see that the teeth between her lips had been stripped off, and her body was more rickety than before, but her mental state was very good. "It's Fen'er's unfilial piety, which makes the ancestors worried."
When Hua Po heard this, her serious expression eased slightly, "You kid is a heavy mind, I just watched the luck above your head, and there was actually a wisp of nobility, it seems that someone is helping you." You stretch out your hand, and I see who is driving the descendants of my flower woman. The latter sentence was full of momentum and majesty.
Stretched out his hand, and after a long time, a cold light appeared in Hua Po's cloudy eyes, "You tell me everything that has happened recently." ”
Wu Fen didn't know why, and honestly explained to the ancestor what happened after he was reborn, and at the end, he asked with some worry: "I'm just afraid that my guild's life will be in danger now, after all, those bad guys are likely to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals." ”
Fen Po looked at the flowers in the distance, sighed, and said as if comforting: "What should come will come after all, and what should go will go after all." Everyone comes and goes, and it's business as usual. Stretching out his old withered hand to pick up Wu Fen's somewhat messy tail hair, "Child, your road in the future will be more difficult." Ancestors, your grandfather, and grandmother may leave this world at any time, you must be strong, and you must not confide your secrets to anyone, let alone mention everything about the Hua family. Your grandmother is my adopted daughter, and she has always thought that her surname is Liu, so in this world, except for me, only you know about the Hua family. ”
"Ancestor, are you leaving? As for grandpa and grandmother, they should live as long as their ancestors. Wu Fen's voice was choked, and tears were flashing in her eyes.
But the flower woman did not reply, and opened the hut, where there was a coffin made of cypress, next to which was an oil lamp, only a little spark, and on either side were ancient sacrifices.
Wu Fen was a little frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to surround the oil lamp, "Ancestor, this is ......"
Hua Po handed over a reassuring look, trembled and stretched out her hand to the half-opened coffin, and took out a copper bracelet from it, "Bring it with you, the child will bring it, it is engraved with the spell of our high priest of the Hua family, which can keep you safe." ”
Wu Fen took it with some hesitation, only to see that the bracelet was shiny, with hibiscus patterns engraved on it, and the inner ring was densely covered with small characters, "Thank you, ancestor." By the way, the light is going out. ”
The flower woman was silent, took off the complicated clothes on her body, revealing the black longevity clothes inside, and moved her steps lightly, "Child, I'm leaving." ”
Wu Fen's heart tightened, and his eyes were gloomy, "Old ancestor." ”
Hua Po waved her hand, "The person who tampered with your memory is very powerful, you can't deal with it at all, according to me, he doesn't have bad intentions, so I will erase your memory in the temple and set a ban, if he wants to do it again in the future, he will not be repulsed." ”
After the words fell, Hua Po took out a talisman from the pile of sacrifices, lit it with an oil lamp, and recited words in her mouth, then put the ashes in a bowl of clear water, and watched Wu Fen drink it before taking out a hibiscus bud from her sleeve, "Drip blood, and then swallow it." ”
Wu Fen knew that the origin of the ancestor was mysterious, and he did not doubt it. After biting his fingers, after watching the buds bloom instantly, under the stern gaze of the old ancestor, he swallowed the whole flower with his eyes closed.
I only felt a trace of fragrance in my throat, and when I opened my eyes, Wu Fen looked down, but I didn't see the shadow of Hua Po, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Ancestor." ”
"At this time." The voice came from the coffin, and Wu Fen approached. See the kind face of the flower woman. It turned out that the old ancestor would also laugh, and then he tightened his brows, "How did you get into the coffin?" ”
Hua Po sighed, "I woke up from the coffin. From everywhere. Go where you go. This is the cycle of heavenly principles. His tone paused slightly, "Child, this is also fate." It should be blind to Hua Po if she can have you to send her to the end. It's just that I calculated that you will have a life and death catastrophe in the future, so you have to come here again in 15 years, as long as the hibiscus flowers in this Yellow Dragon Cave do not all wither, you will still have a glimmer of life. ”
"Ancestor, I'm here to see you today, I didn't come to see you off, can't you continue your life, you said before that you would wait for Fen'er to get married and have children." Wu Fen cried, and reached into the coffin, trying to pull Hua Po up, but she couldn't reach her body.
"Don't be in vain, there are a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the hole of the thickest and largest hibiscus tree outside, you can sell them, this is the last wish of the old ancestor. As for your grandfather and grandmother, if you have time, you should spend more time with them. Child, you must come in 15 years, the rise and fall of the Hua family depends on you. Also, if you have just drunk Fu Shui, you will not get sick easily, so it is best for you not to go to the hospital for medical treatment in the future, let alone have blood drawn, otherwise your life will be in danger. ”
Wu Fen nodded heavily, tears rolled down like beads, his vision was blurred, and the last thing he saw was the gray face of the old ancestor.
"Ancestor!" Breathing became rapid, and Wu Fen's trembling hand finally reached Hua Po's body, but the tentacles were cold.
After staring at Hua Po's peaceful face for a long time, Wu Fen believed that the old man who had just given a thousand instructions had left and gone to the country full of hibiscus flowers she described.
Tears kept falling, Wu Fen staggered out of the hut, found a place with his back to the entrance of the cave, took out the small hoe that Hua Po used to hoe grass, and spent half a day digging a grave.
Then he returned to the hut, first carried the ancestor out and put it in the hibiscus bush, then folded back and carried out the coffin, and put it in the grave. The original ancient sacrificial offerings were also put into the coffin, and then a layer of hibiscus flowers was spread on the bottom of the coffin, and finally the ancestors were carefully placed into the coffin and covered with the coffin lid.
Wu Fen's expression was solemn, and he kept picking up the soil with his hands, until the grave was piled up into a small hill shape, and a large bouquet of flowers was placed on it, and then he knelt in front of him and kowtowed: "Ancestor, I will definitely keep the secrets of the Hua family and myself, you can rest in peace." ”
There was a soreness in his legs, Wu Fencai was shocked to realize that he had been kneeling for an hour, touched the tears on his face, took a deep look at the grave, stood up and stumbled forward a few steps, probed in from the hole of the largest and thickest hibiscus tree, and saw a jewelry box carved with hibiscus branches, holding it with both hands, looking at a swaying flower bush in front of him, his mood was complicated and indescribable.
When he came out of the Yellow Dragon Cave, Wu Fen's tears had dried up, his face was pale, and he walked down the mountain road until he stepped on the cement road and met some villagers who came and went.
Back in the living area, the rain had stopped, the door of the Peng family next door was closed, and Wu Fen went straight into her house with a depressed expression.
In the room, Liu Xizhu was talking to Cheng Liu Shi about the interesting things about yesterday's incense, and when he saw Wu Fen breaking in wet, he looked a little stunned.
Cheng Liu was still in a hurry, wearing an autumn coat and stepping on his little feet, "You kid is ignorant, you went to Shangxiang yesterday and came back today." I knew it was raining, and I didn't bring an umbrella, so I just waited for the rain to stop and then came back. If you don't change your clothes, I'll go make you a bowl of ginger soup. ”
Wu Fen pulled the corners of her mouth, put the box and bag in the cabinet in the middle room, turned around and saw Liu Xizhu who had come back to her senses looking at her, and couldn't help but turn sideways to block her vision.
Liu Xizhu retracted his gaze stupidly, "Oh, Wu Fen just came back, yesterday Master Qingfeng said that he was going to recite the scriptures to your father, and he deliberately left you for one night, and also drove your master and us out." ”
Wu Fen rolled her eyes, is there such a thing? Why can't I remember?
"Really? It's raining today, so Sun Ridge hasn't started. Although she was soaking wet, Wu Fen didn't feel any discomfort, just a little cold.
Speaking of this, Liu Xizhu's eyes were even more red, and he stared at Wu Fen for a long time, until he saw that the other party frowned, and then said: "Wu Minghua is really good to your family, and the work of pounding and accounting is just given to you casually." We women who pick up the pool are tired and tired, and we have been staring at that errand for several years, but I didn't expect to be robbed by you in the end. ”
These words carried a strong sourness, and Wu Fen couldn't help frowning slightly, "Aunt Zhu, are you telling the truth?" If the over-the-pound job is really that good, why would you ask a nearby villager to take this job if you have fought for it for the past few years? ”
"That's just a pity for everyone to see him die." Liu Xizhu grabbed the words.
Wu Fen lifted the bed curtain, covered the middle room tightly, quickly changed into dry clothes, and then walked out, continuing the previous topic: "You guys are really good-hearted." If you really want this job, I'll give it to you. But I'm going to say it before, and if you don't want to do it then, don't be jealous and say that I'm robbing you of your job. ”
Liu Xizhu's eyes widened, looking at Wu Fen who came out a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect this little girl to look so good-looking, just like a fairy who came out of the New Year's painting, with a slender body and outstanding aura, comparable to the beauty of his niece Peng Jiajia.
"Aunt Bamboo." Wu Fen took the ginger soup from her grandmother, pinched her nose and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh, that's it, since Minghua gave it to you, why is Aunt Zhu embarrassed to rob you, I'm just talking about it casually."
Wu Fen sneered, you can't see others, okay. However, Liu Xizhu said so, if he pushes it again, it will make people feel that they are showing off.
"Aunt Zhu will think clearly about it in the future, so as not to be misunderstood. I'm good at talking, but I'm afraid that if Uncle Zhu encounters something similar, it won't be easy to say. ”
When Liu Xizhu heard this, her face suddenly became a little unbearable, and she felt that Wu Fen's words were obviously laughing at her, but she didn't dare to refute it out loud.
Wu Fen sat next to her grandmother, and saw that the expression on Liu Xizhu's face was constantly changing, which was very exciting, and her heart blossomed. The workers in this mine all know that Liu Xizhu sees people talking about people, and he seems to be shrewd and capable, but he is tightly managed by her husband, and her monthly salary has to be handed over to Uncle Zhu.
"Look, I'm sitting down and it's time to eat. My family Zhu Dong used a motorcycle to pull a few guests today, and I have to go back to cook for him. Liu Xizhu sat on pins and needles, and said with a smile.
I originally wanted to go to Peng Yuhong's house to show off today, but I ended up closed. So I went to Cheng Xiaolan's house and accompanied an old woman for a long time, but I didn't expect to wait until Wu Fen, a thorny vine, was pushed back when I said a word, which was really not smooth.
When Cheng Liu Shi and Wu Fen heard this, they stood up and politely sent Liu Xizhu to the door. (To be continued.) )
