Chapter 43: No worries
Mo Xiu obviously did have something, came and went in a hurry, and left.
The big snake lay on the eaves, looked at me with calm eyes, slowly coiled back again, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qin Mipo coughed so hard that she was excited, so I hurriedly fetched her a glass of water, and then I went to see the frightened old woman.
But I was frightened, and I pinched her person, but I didn't wake up.
"Take a needle and prick ten fingers." Qin Mipo drank the water and said to me, "Squeeze out the bruises on your fingertips and let some blood go." ”
I hurriedly turned around and went in to find the needle, pulled the old woman's fingers, and pricked them one by one to bleed: "That snake is ......"
"It's the village next door that sprayed snake venom, and was later caught, and those four monks used it to deal with you and the snake king." Qin Mipo sipped water.
He glanced up: "Most of the snakes that can communicate with people have cultivated spiritual wisdom, but they can be hidden, and it is not bad for the snake monarch to let it protect you temporarily." ”
"But I remember it wasn't that big that night?" The old woman's fingertips were black, and I didn't let go until the blood became bloody.
Qin Mipo coughed lowly and said with a wry smile: "The cultivation of this snake is actually very fast, and the size is not calculated by how many years. When you reach a certain realm, you have to return to the basics, and you have to cultivate smaller and smaller. ”
I thought that when Liu Longting's snake body was trapped in a glass case, it was indeed not that big.
Just as she was pinching her fingers for the old woman, she heard a commotion again.
Those who come to make trouble with the old woman will call a lot of people to fight snakes.
For snakes, that fear seems to be written in human genes.
A bunch of people took hoes and sticks, but in fact, they were just to watch the fun.
The people who accompanied the old woman didn't care about the old woman anymore, they just exaggerated, and told people how big the snake was.
One time the hands are together, one time the bucket is the size, and the other time the basin is the size.
After the old woman pricked her fingers, I pricked her with a needle, and she sat up suddenly: "Snake, ......"
Facing me head-on, he turned over and got up, rolling and crawling outward.
Those who watched the excitement pulled her up, but she pointed at me and said, "Dragon...... Dragon ......"
Before she could come back to her senses in fright, her mouth was still a little trembling: "You are the daughter of that snake wine dragon in Huilong Village!" ”
The recent events in Huilong Village are afraid that they have caused a sensation, not to mention that the entire village has fallen.
"People from Huilong Village, ......"
"That's the father and son surnamed Chen? I heard that it was to drink snake wine, and then the snake came back to life......"
"It's the evil star, the matter of returning to Long Village started from her family, and now that everyone in the village is dead, she is alive."
The discussion was loud, I pinched the needle, simply sat back, and helped Qin Mipo get the overturned sieve right.
Anyway, because there may be that big snake, these people who are watching the excitement don't dare to approach.
The old woman began to cry again, and everyone looked at Qin Mipo, seemed to persuade her, and then took her away.
If the rice falls to the ground and is swept up, it will be all dust, and it will not be eaten.
I put it in a basket: "You should buy a few chickens and pick up broken rice to eat." ”
Qin Mipo sat there drinking water and looked at me with heavy eyes.
I put it down, looked at her, opened my mouth but didn't know how to speak.
Mo Xiu said let me live here, but there is really no good place where I have passed, it is really a bad star.
The words of Lao Zhou's eyes seem to have been echoing in my mind.
Niu Er followed and asked Tianzong that it was actually quite good, and when Mo Xiu came, I would discuss it with him......
"I'm going to die anyway." Qin Mipo drank water, straightened her hair and looked at me: "You can't trouble me." ”
Her tuberculosis was considered advanced, and she coughed all day and night.
I knew she was kind, but suddenly when it was just me and her, she quieted down, as if she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and there was a sense of embarrassment.
"Wait for the village chief to bring them over, let me ask the old woman for rice, do you believe it or not?" Qin Mipo looked at me with a glass of water, patted the bench next to her, and motioned for me to come and sit.
Actually, when I heard that the body was missing, I was also a little curious.
Sitting down, Qin Mipo said as if she were telling me a story.
The old woman married a plasterer surnamed Wei, and had a son in his thirties, who followed the small work and never married a daughter-in-law.
Now there are more singles in the countryside than before, and girls no longer study, so they go out to work, and they can no longer only marry in the neighborhood as before.
In addition, if you can earn your own money and are not willing to go back to the countryside, even if you marry someone from the same village, the couple will go out to work.
After giving birth to a child, take the two old mouths out, take the child or do some small work.
Wei Pozi's husband is an old cement maker who earns a lot, and the family conditions used to be good, so he has a high vision.
I used to think about marrying my son to a college student, but I delayed it for a few years, and when I got older, I lowered the conditions, and it would not be high or low.
It was delayed to more than thirty in a moment, and in the end there was no way, what her family wanted was to find someone, have a baby, and be able to do laundry and cooking.
This Gu Xiaolan is from the next village, her mother ran away with someone when she was a child, and her father suspected that she was not her own, so he beat her when he drank too much, and he didn't read any books.
Wei Pozi found someone to take the eight characters and gave them to Qin Mipo for approval.
"I've seen Gu Xiaolan." Qin Mipo looked at me and said with a wry smile: "Her life is not good, and she is in a difficult situation." In fact, when I came to approve the eight characters, I was about the same age as you, but I looked very wooden. ”
"But she wants to marry herself." Qin Mipo turned her head to look at me, her eyes sinking: "She secretly begged me to let me say good things, she wants to marry Wei Pozi's son." ”
So that's it?
Qin Mipo chuckled: "She is destined to have no children, I told her, but marrying someone is better than being beaten by her father at home, right?" ”
"It's okay to get married for half a year. But she didn't get pregnant for half a year, so Mrs. Wei took her to ask for Fuhua water, and went to various hospitals for examination, but it was useless. Her life is not very easy, and she still beats from time to time. ”
"Mrs. Wei also came to me at that time, and Gu Xiaolan was also so thin that she was out of shape, she was just wooden before, and at that time, Mrs. Wei looked at her, and she was scared." Qin Mipo seemed to be a little embarrassed.
said with a wry smile: "Then it didn't take long for me to hear that she was dead, and Mrs. Wei didn't let her be buried in the ancestral grave." Her son wants to find a new daughter-in-law, and when Gu Xiaolan is buried in the ancestral grave, it will be difficult to marry again, so he will be buried at the end of her family's vegetable field. ”
"How long have you been dead?" I suddenly realized that I didn't know what it was like.
Ignorance, ignorance?
Or is it self-interest?
"It's been more than a year." Qin Mipo turned her head to look at me and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Wei Pozi suddenly wanted to find her corpse?" ”
"I can't get married, so I want to be buried in the ancestral grave and buried with her son in the future?" That's the only possibility I can think of.
After all, she is in her thirties and is still married for the second time, and Gu Xiaolan's death is estimated to be not very honorable, so it is difficult to marry again.
"Her son wants to buy a daughter-in-law from outside, he wants more than 100,000 yuan, the money is not enough, and it cost some money to marry Gu Xiaolan at the beginning, so he thought about selling her body to get married, and he has already negotiated and sent it over, 80,000 yuan." Qin Mipo pinched the glass.
He said softly: "But when they went to open the coffin, they found that Gu Xiaolan's body was gone. I haven't found it for half a month, and the money has been collected over there, making trouble at her house. ”
"So this person, once he is useless, even if he dies, he will not be let go, there is nothing that can be done with death! It's useless to run away, you can only rise to the occasion! Qin Mipo's voice was cold, and she turned her head to look at me: "You understand." ”
I was chilling all over, and suddenly I didn't know if Qin Mipo was talking about Gu Xiaolan or me......
"How could the corpse be lost?" I thought that it was in the vegetable patch next to my house, and even if it was poached, I should know.
Qin Mipo turned her head to look at me, and said in a deep voice: "When Wei Pozi first asked for a son, she went back to Long Village. ”
I was a little surprised to hear it, and then I suddenly figured out what it was.
Gu Xiaolan's batch of lives, later Wei Pozi must have shown you, the fate of having no children is the standard for marrying a wife in Huilong Village, but every family in Huilong Village has a follow-up child.
So Wei Pozi must have taken Gu Xiaolan back to Long Village to find some recipe for asking for a child.
"Does it have anything to do with Huilong Village?" My doubts deepened.
Qin Mipo only shook her head and said in a deep voice: "But Gu Xiaolan's grave I have been to see, there is no trace of soil at all, and the nails on the coffin have not been loosened, but the corpse was also sealed by a village, there will be no fake." ”
"That is, it is missing in the coffin?" That's weird.
I don't know why, I suddenly thought of the daughters-in-law who married in Huilong Village.
It seems that he didn't go to the ancestral grave after death, but where can he be buried? How to bury? I didn't even know!
