Listening to Zhang's words, Lian Man'er couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Zhang's words can be said to represent the thoughts of many people in this era. They believe in the gods, in these elixirs, in prayer practices. However, these things do not work every time, this is an unavoidable fact, and these people also see it. They all believe that the gods must exist, and the real elixir must be effective, but in the name of the gods, things are half-hearted.

But no matter what, people like Yan Daopo are mediocre at best, and they cheat some money with clever words, and the pills they provide, even if they can't cure the disease, there will be no harm in eating them. After all, eating it has no effect, and those people still have a lot of things to say, but if they eat it, but something happens, those people are responsible.

Incense ash, flour, and some ordinary herbs or spices that can't eat people who can't eat well, and can't eat people, are about the true face of those so-called panaceas.

Many people spend this money, that is, to buy a peace of mind.

That's why Zhang said such things. This kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is self-deception. In Lian Man'er's view, the psychotherapeutic effect of those so-called elixirs is far greater than their actual therapeutic effect.

In addition, there is a trace of luck, "in case it works".

Many people have this mentality, which is why things like doing Dharma rituals and seeking elixirs will always have such a market.

"Mother, where is the medicine you bought?" After thinking about it, Lian Man'er asked Zhang again.

Zhang didn't want to say anything to coax the past, however, after all, she was a person who was used to being honest, especially in front of her own daughter. Therefore, although Zhang was a little reluctant in his heart, he still took out the medicine bag.

Although it was taken out. But he clung to it and didn't give it to Lian Man'er.

"In case of the spirit, Yan Daopo has been in the city for so many years, and she really doesn't have any Taoism, she can eat like that. Isn't that a lot of people who have eaten it and it has worked? Zhang tried to persuade Lian Man'er, "No matter how much you eat, you can't eat badly, and the worst thing is that it has no effect, that is, spending a few dollars in vain." …… It's not easy for your third aunt,...... these years. In addition to those medicinal soups, she didn't eat less of these things......"

After having some money, the Zhao family also asked for some secret medicines, many of which had similar origins.

"We can't tell if it's bad or not. It didn't work, but we all saw it. Lian Man'er said, "Mother, this inaccurate thing, don't mess with my third aunt to eat." If something happens, I'm sorry for others. If something happens to my third aunt, the family will be so sad. Mother, this medicine. You can't give my third aunt to eat, and you don't eat indiscriminately. ”

"I don't eat it, I'm just asking for it for your third uncle." Zhang Shi hurriedly said, "What am I eating it for!" Me. I've been thinking about it for a long time now. With a few of you, I'll be enough. In a year or two, I'll be a milkman too. ”

Zhang's meaning is that she has given up her plans to have another child.

It's just that. The medicine she asked for from Yan Daopo, she still wanted to give it to the Zhao family.

"Your third aunt also entrusted me in private. You see, there is such a doorway, how can I not give her a hard time?! Zhang said to Lian Man'er again.

"Mother, are you so trustworthy to Yan Daopo?" Lian Man'er secretly supported her forehead, but she still had to persuade Zhang's patiently, "Mother, you haven't watched those plays less, and you've listened to a few books." That's all right. ”

"Of course." Zhang nodded, "It was all handed down from ancient times, written by learned people, and sung from generation to generation. ”

"Mother, think about it, the real masters of the Tao, the immortal master, who is not hiding in the mountains or something, who walks the streets and alleys, like Ya'er and her mother, the owner is often short." Lian Man'er continued, "Yan Daopo is like this, isn't she just a seller of fake medicines." ”

"Don't say that." Zhang pondered for a while, and also felt that what Lian Man'er said was irrefutable, but he was still not happy to hear Lian Man'er say that Yan Daopo was a counterfeit drug seller. "Isn't she a master herself, doesn't she have a master?"

"Yes, she's collecting money, but it's not like there's nothing real at all. Ten fakes and one true or something, just spend more money. She didn't dare to harm people, in case there was a miracle, so many people in the city could let her be deceived?! After all, I haven't heard anyone say that after taking her medicine, you will eat bad or something. ”

Zhang's meaning is to seek that bit of luck, and the bottom line is that Yan Daopo's medicine will not spoil people.

Even if you know it's right, you have to go up. In fact, many people who are fooled have a similar mentality, which makes people helpless.

"Mother, we don't have anything to do with ourselves, my third uncle's business, can't be like this." Lian Man'er had to say, "My third aunt's body and bones are a little better than in the past, and it is not as strong as ordinary people." In case, she will not be subject to this medicine that. Didn't you do something bad with good intentions? ”

"Besides, it's been all these years, and it's not been these days. Just wait, wait for my third aunt to come to Fucheng and see with her own eyes, at that time, it's easy to say what to do. ”

Hearing Lian Man'er say this, the Zhang family remembered what Yan Daopo said. Yan Daopo said that he had never seen Zhao's face, and he didn't know if Zhao had this merit and opportunity, so seeing Zhang's face and giving medicine and doing the law, it might cost Yan Daopo's own life.

Thinking like this, Zhang hesitated.

Lian Man'er saw that Zhang's hand holding the medicine bag was loose, so she took the medicine bag over.

"I'll give it to my brother later, and ask him to send it to the crude medicine shop to find someone to see." Lian Man'er said to herself.

"Medicine alone can't do it, people still have to do it." Zhang saw that Lian Man'er had taken the medicine, so he thought about it for the time being. "She doesn't dare to hurt anyone."

"Mother, don't you usually bother others with their rhetoric, that Yan Daopo's mouth is more divine than our matchmakers in the countryside, why do you just look at her pleasing to the eye?" Lian Man'er was a little puzzled and said, "Mother, look at those plays, these three aunts and six mothers-in-law, they are all the root cause of trouble." ”

"She can't do that, otherwise how can she live?" Zhang sighed and said, "She's a person, and she's also a hard-working person." ”

Zhang talked to Lian Man'er about what Yan Daopo had told her about her life experience. It turned out that Yan Daopo was the daughter of a small trader and later married. As a result, within a year, the man died. At that time, Yan Daopo was already pregnant, and she was born after her man's death, and she was born as a stillborn.

Yan Daopo's in-laws were unlucky, saying that Yan Daopo's husband was a child, and almost disposed of Yan Daopo's family law. At that time, Yan Daopo's father and mother were still there, so they took Yan Daopo home.

After that, Yan Daopo married again, this time in the ravine, the man was a poor hunter, but he was extremely strong. Yan Daopo thought that she could live a good life this time.

However, less than half a year after getting married, her second man went into the mountains to hunt, ran into a wild boar, and let the wild boar die. Yan Daopo was very sad, and the man's parents were even more painful. The family married Yan Daopo, only knowing that she had been married, and the man died of tuberculosis. I don't know who leaked the news and told Yan Daopo about the details of her first marriage.

Now, Yan Daopo's Kefu Kezi is confirmed. The man's father and mother didn't agree, and listened to the words of the god mother, saying that Yan Daopo was born into the world, and his son was killed by Yan Daopo, if he didn't do some magic things, even if he was underground, he would not be at peace, and he would be driven by Yan Daopo for the rest of his life, and he would never be reborn.

It's worth it. The old couple loved their son and hated Yan Daopo to the bone, so they spent money to ask the goddess to do it. Yan Daopo was stripped naked, first bruised all over her body by the goddess's methods, and finally tied up to the place where poisonous snakes and beasts haunt the mountains.

After three days and three nights, people came up to the mountain. Only a few pieces of bloody cloth fell under the tree that tied Yan Daopo, and Yan Daopo was nowhere to be found. The goddess said that the Dharma had been completed, and the dead hunter could finally enter the reincarnation as soon as possible and have a good birth.

Those who understood guessed that Yan Daopo must have been eaten by a fierce beast, and this matter was revealed, and no one mentioned it again.

After another three years, Yan Daopo appeared in the market.

According to Yan Daopo, she was taken by a fierce tiger and thought she was going to die, but she ended up in a fairy cave and was able to worship under the door of the immortal master. The immortal master said that she was a certain star in the sky and went down to the mortal tribulation, and now that the calamity has passed, she must purify the common people and do good deeds to accumulate virtue before she can return to the heavenly realm.

Zhang thought that Yan Daopo's life was miserable, so he didn't believe that she would do evil.

"The three aunts and six women in that play are hateful, but not everyone is like that. Look at Yan Daopo, when did she come out of the rules. If she really does something evil, the people in this city can't tolerate her until now. ”

"People let her move around, if we don't let her, it will show our personality." Zhang said again, but this was specially said to persuade Lian Man'er, because Lian Man'er had revealed that he didn't want Yan Daopo to move around. "Where to go, we have to talk to people. Besides, doesn't she just want to make two dollars, just let her earn it, it's not a big deal. This incense is burned, which temple head we give is not given, and the worship is the same god. ”

"Mother, I won't stop this money, but you don't want her to believe anything. Listen to what she says, just listen to the strange, just be happy, don't be faithful. The things she gives can't be eaten, we can't do it ourselves, and we can't give it to others. Lian Man'er knew that Zhang's heart was extremely pious, which could be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance for Zhang's, so he also let him go.

"That's, that's fine." Zhang hesitated for a moment and lowered his eyelids, but finally agreed.

Lian Man'er was a little relieved. At this time, I saw the little girl come in to report, saying that someone from the camp was thirty miles away to deliver a letter.
