After having breakfast with Zhou in the north house, Zhou told Zhao Yu about the goddess.

"When your father and your mother went to visit you this morning, they discussed and ordered someone to go to the county to find a goddess to exorcise evil spirits for you."

As he spoke, Zhou explained to his son what a goddess was.

The so-called goddesses, popularly interpreted as witches, are generally women of a certain age, and according to legend, they have very special powers, they can communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and some can even directly expel the evil spirits that invade the human body.

After hearing this explanation, Zhao Yu was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

In his previous life, he has always implemented the belief of "seeing is believing", unless he sees it with his own eyes, he does not believe in the existence of this kind of mystery, because of this, he never tells fortunes and asks hexagrams, burns incense and worships the Buddha, and only a few times he goes to the temple to burn incense, but only as a faith, or a spiritual consolation, he never thought that there was a god and Buddha to help him realize any dream, after all, in his heart, he actually did not believe in such a thing.

But now, when he woke up, he inexplicably came to a strange era, which more or less shook the materialism that Zhao Yu had insisted on in his heart in the past.

Maybe there really is something indescribable in this world?

may have noticed that his son was stunned, Zhou misunderstood something, rubbed Zhao Yu's hair and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, in fact, your father is still a mother, and he doesn't believe that any evil spirits have invaded your body, it's just ...... Anyway, it's fine. ”

Her words made Zhao Yu feel very embarrassed.

If you think about it carefully, isn't he the 'evil spirit' who robbed Zhou's son's body? However, the Zhou family mistakenly regarded him as their own son, which made Zhao Yu feel guilty.

But he didn't dare to say it directly.

Subsequently, Zhao Yu returned to the East Courtyard with Jingnu, who had already packed her clothes, and returned to the house where he lived.

In his house, there is only one bed in the inner room, and the Zhou family obviously has no intention of asking someone to move another bed, maybe in her opinion, Jingnu will become her youngest son's concubine sooner or later in a few years, and it is nothing to let the two sleep on the same bed a few years in advance, anyway, at the age of Zhao Yu in his teens, he does not have the ability to bully his daughter's family.

But Zhao Yu didn't think that seeing Jing Nu's face slightly red, making the bed without saying a word, and then carrying another futon to the bed, although Zhao Yu had the heart to say something to resolve the embarrassment in the house at the moment, he really didn't have this mood.

Because of the goddess that Zhou said, he was more or less concerned.

It is true that in his previous life, he did not believe in such indescribable existences, but now he is not so sure.

What if the invited goddess really has magical powers and can see through his essence at a glance? And what about him...... Where do we go from here?

If it was really just expelled and expelled back to his original world, it would be nothing, after all, he didn't come to this home out of his own obsession - although he never saw the Zhou family, it was indeed a regrettable thing in his opinion.

Although the nickname "Starting Point Orphanage" is often teased and criticized, most of this setting is just to reduce the depiction of the protagonist's relatives in his previous life - after all, these relatives account for almost no proportion in the novel, and there is no need to focus on it.

In addition, in order to avoid the provocation of individual people in advance, such as accusing the protagonist of being unfilial, forgetting his relatives in his previous life, and not thinking about going back to Yunyun, he simply cut it all to avoid future troubles.

Therefore, Zhao Yu was also an orphan in his previous life, yes, he was a child raised in an orphanage.

Cough.

It is precisely because he was an orphan who failed to enjoy the affection of his family in his previous life that Zhao Yu did not reject Zhou's mother, who suddenly appeared.

More or less still a little concerned, after all, in his previous life, he had not enjoyed the kind of affection and doting on his son that his mother rubbed his cheek with her face......

Inexplicably, Zhao Yu was a little irritable in his heart, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to Jingnu lying on the bed to make up the bedding, and walked straight to the house, hoping that the fresh air outside the house could relieve the irritability in his heart.

And when he walked outside, he suddenly saw the jade carved beast on the wall table.

Oh, by the way, about this jade carving beast, the Zhou family had already told Zhao Yu yesterday.

This is a kind beast called Su Yu, with a lion head and a tiger body, white hair and black lines, and some other tiger beasts or fierce beasts such as Fox Fox, Qi Qi, White Tiger and other tiger beasts are different, Su Yu is said to be kind by nature, even the grass can not bear to trample, even the stomach only eats creatures that die naturally, in short, this non-killing beast can be described as very kind and benevolent.

Because of this, when Zhao Yu was young, Zhou specially asked someone to invite this statue of Su Yu, hoping that this divine beast named Su Yu could shelter her young son, after all, according to the old Fang Shi back then, Zhao Yu would have a catastrophe around the age of ten, and he would unfortunately die if he couldn't cross this hurdle, so Zhou was particularly concerned.

And the Yu in Zhao Yu's name is taken from the Yu of Yu Yu.

Therefore, to put it simply, the divine beast Su Yu is like Zhao Yu's patron saint - of course, this is just Zhou's wishful thinking, if there is really such a divine beast as Su Yu in the world, whether he will protect Zhao Yu or not, it is up to others to decide.

But then again, in order to implore the divine beast to protect his youngest son Zhao Yu, the Zhou family has never forgotten to worship the young man Yu over the years, although this jade statue is placed in Zhao Yu's house, and the once young Zhao Yu may not have kept his mother's words in mind, but the Zhou family still sends maids to the younger son's house every day, and offers fresh melons, fruits, and cakes as tribute in front of the jade statue of the young man.

In line with the idea that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't have, Zhao Yu paused in front of the statue of the god and bowed to the statue.

But unfortunately, or should I take it for granted, the jade statue of Su Yu did not react.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu, who had a trace of hope that the jade statue of Yu Yu could manifest, showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Young master?"

Beside him came the voice of the silent girl.

It turned out that Jing Nu had already made the bed at this time, and when she saw her little master standing in front of the statue of Yu Yu in a daze, she asked with some concern: "Young master, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it because you're worried about the goddess that Madame said? In Yinu's opinion, the young master doesn't need to worry about this, what is evil, it's just the people in the house chewing the root of their tongues......"

"Huh?"

Zhao Yu was stunned, and asked Jingnu with some puzzlement: "The house is ...... Are there many people who know about this? ”

Hearing this, Jing Nu realized that she had lost her words, and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, until Zhao Yu asked again, she admitted with a little anger: "Yes, after the young master accidentally fell from the tree yesterday, he didn't remember Cao An, Zhang Ji and others, and this matter spread quickly......"

"Oh." Zhao Yu responded casually, and secretly muttered in his heart: It is worthy of good things that don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, so if you are so good at it, it will spread in the house.

"It's no wonder that when I went to see my mother just now, I always felt that the people I met on the way looked at me a little strangely......

Zhao Yu, who realized it later, suddenly felt a sudden in his heart.

It may be that seeing that Zhao Yu didn't speak, Jingnu stepped forward with concern and said with relief: "Young master, don't you care about those rumors, the young master is the young master, how can it be an evil spirit?" ”

Hearing Jingnu's words, Zhao Yu didn't know how to reply, just nodded.

"If the goddess is really as powerful as rumored, it's a big deal...... It's nothing, although it's ......

Standing in front of the statue of Su Yu, Zhao Yu thought secretly.

In his heart, he was still a little tangled.

In the afternoon of the same day, the servants of the government invited a priest from the county seat.

When Zhou took this goddess to Zhao Yu's house, Zhao Yu secretly looked at this goddess.

According to Zhao Yu's visual inspection, the age of this goddess is about fifty years old, her head is gradually graying with a black cloth wrapped in a black cloth, wearing a black jacket embroidered with inexplicable patterns or patterns, and her face is full of wrinkles.

And behind this goddess, there were two young men, a man and a woman, each holding a large cloth bag in their hands, and they did not know what was in it.

When he first saw this goddess, even Zhao Yu was nervous for no reason, until the goddess said to him with a smile: "Don't worry about the second son, the old woman will definitely expel the evil things that invade the second son's body." ”

At that time, Zhao Yu opened his mouth, and his mood was a little inexplicable, but he was not at ease, so he deliberately asked: "Goddess, can you really do it?" ”

"That's nature."

Where did the goddess know Zhao Yu's thoughts, and said to the Zhou family with an oath: "Madam, you can send someone to inquire within a radius of dozens of miles, my grandmother's reputation is known to everyone, and no one knows it......

Zhou nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, the concubine heard about the reputation of the goddess, so she sent someone to invite you." ”

Seeing Zhou's wife of Luyang Township like this, the goddess was very happy, and faced Zhao Yu without hesitating to expose the fact that there were no more teeth left in her mouth, and grinned: "In short, the second son can rest assured." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh, then I'm relieved. ”

After glancing at the goddess twice, Zhao Yu smiled reluctantly.

At this moment, he has no worries or apprehensions in his heart.

After feeling for a long time, this goddess is purely a fool, and Zhao Yu secretly feels unworthy of his previous anxiety.

Over the next half day, the goddess took her two apprentices to begin the so-called exorcism ritual.

Zhao Yu sat on a chair, at first he was quite interested to watch this goddess scurrying around with strange steps, and from time to time there were some strange screams in his mouth, but after watching it for a long time, Zhao Yu was also tired of it, so he simply sat on the chair and took a nap, anyway, he cooperated with the behavior of this goddess, and he just sat on this chair.

When he was woken up from his slumber by the Silent Maiden in a daze, he happened to hear the goddess swear not far away that the evil spirit that had invaded his body had been expelled.

Mother Zhou was very happy, and Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township who appeared at some point, also immediately ordered someone to give a reward, and the goddess smiled when she heard it.

When everyone present celebrated this, only Zhao Yu secretly pouted.

Waste time!
