Chapter 18: The Identity of Grandma
"Our family is surrounded by walls, and we don't have any good things to take. I hope you don't laugh at these. ”
Father Guan slaughtered the only pig in the family, cut the meat and brought it, and brought hazelnut mushrooms and vermicelli to dry at home.
It's a real hard time for them. You must know that for the countrymen, killing pigs is a major event that only happens during the New Year's holidays. A fat pig can be sold for a good price. Give us this pig, what will their family eat this year.
Grandma hurriedly excused herself: "Big nephew, we can't want this meat." ”
Father Guan was very resolute: "No, auntie, you must accept it, this is the only valuable thing in our family." My Yue'er's life was exchanged for the girl's life, even if she wants my life, I will give it! ”
After all, grandma couldn't resist Guan's father's insistence and accepted the things.
At this time, the grandmother on the side spoke: "This girl, you said that you vomited blood and turned into worms?" ”
Guan Yue's mother is obviously holding her body. She got down from the kang and nodded to Grandma: "Yes, aunt." ”
"Did you eat anything before you got sick, or did you meet anyone?"
Guan Yue's mother thought about it, and suddenly her eyes widened: "Yes, yes, auntie, I drank the water from the well and fainted." ”
"Humph!"
Grandma's crutches slammed the ground hard, and the sound of "dang" startled us.
"In broad daylight, you dare to poison under my nose, and you deceive people too much!"
Except for grandma, everyone was stunned. Grandma tugged on the placket of Grandma's clothes: "Mom, you are old, why do you ...... for these little things"
"Huh, a trifle?"
Grandma's anger was revealed on her face, and it was actually a little scary.
"Even this is a trivial matter, and the next one is our family!"
She walked up to Guan Yue's mother on crutches.
"Girl, take off your shoes and go to the kang."
Guan Yue's family knew that our family was not ordinary people, so Guan's father hurriedly helped his wife take off her shoes and helped her to lie down on the kang.
"Ying mother, take a needle."
I seem to know what Grandma is going to do.
It is recorded in ancient books that Gu poison refers to a witchified poison prepared in a mysterious way. Usually includes poisonous weeds, poisonous insects. The art of witchcraft has existed as early as ancient times, and after thousands of years of changes, to this day, it is still prevalent almost only in some Southeast Asian countries, and many people are still raising Gu.
The book mentions a method of solving Gu, including opening acupoints with golden needles, releasing Gu blood, and so on.
But even if you understand it, this kind of thing happens to the people around you, and it makes people shudder.
I have long heard that Grandma Tai is very capable, but I didn't expect her to be a witch master.
"Grandma, don't bother."
I stopped my grandmother, who was about to go looking for a needle.
"Luo'er, don't mess around, people's lives are at stake!"
I silently took out a golden needle, pinched it on my fingertips, and with a "poof" sound, when everyone reacted, the golden needle had been inserted into Guan's mother's Baihui acupoint.
At this time, I was two meters away from Guan's mother.
"Golden needles through the acupuncture! It's worthy of being my girl! Grandma Tai looked at the golden needle, and there were tears of excitement in her eyes.
"Poof!" Another golden needle flew out of my hand and plunged into Guan's mother's finger.
Immediately after, "Poof! The last needle was inserted into her toe.
"Are the pigs freshly killed?" Grandma asked Father Guan.
Father Guan hadn't come back to his senses yet, and nodded mechanically, "Ah yes, I just killed it in the morning." ”
"Up!" At my command, three golden needles were pulled out of thin air from Guan's mother and flew back into my hands.
"Quick, pork!"
Guan Yue handed over the fresh pork, and Grandma Tai put the meat on top of Guan's mother's head, and soon, a black blood stream flowed out of her hair and landed on the pork, turning into a bunch of bugs that made people's scalps tingle.
Grandma Tai took out two more pieces of pork and put them on Guan's mother's fingers and toes respectively, and just like just now, another stream of blood flowed out, which fell on the pork and became disgusting bugs.
"What is this?" Guan Yue asked.
"Money Gu."
Grandma quickly threw the pork into the bag and tied the bag in a dead knot.
"Take it out and burn it!"
Grandma hurriedly took Guan Yue and ran out with the bag.
I sighed in my heart, hey, it's a pity to have three catties of pork.
After a while, I heard a squeaking and screaming from the yard, as if many rats had been pointed at their tails.
Not long after, Grandma and Guan Yue came back.
At this time, Guan's mother, who was lying on the kang, also woke up.
"Mom, what do you think?" Guan Yue stepped forward to hold Guan's mother, who was about to sit up.
"Mom feels so much better, I've never felt so comfortable in years. Just a little hungry. Guan's mother replied with a smile.
Father Guan and Guan Yue had an unbelievable look on their faces, and then Father Guan faced me and Grandma Tai, and knelt down for us again.
"Don't, don't!" I went up to stop them before they could act. Okay, I've been kneeling N times in the morning, how much Yang Shou will I lose. I still want to live to be ninety-nine.
Guan's mother was already wearing shoes and going to the ground at this time. I pressed Guan Dad and Guan Yue on the edge of the kang.
"This ...... You saved our lives twice in a row, we don't know how to thank us, as long as you have something to order, I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”
"Uncle, you see you're here again. As I said, it's fine, don't take it to heart. Hurry up and eat, you have a good day today, if my grandmother's stewed chicken soup is the second, no one dares to say the first. "I let them to the kang table.
Grandma went to the kitchen to bring three more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and Father Guan saw that it was difficult to resist, so he followed us around the kang table and ate together. Guan Yue tightly served vegetables for her mother, and the laugh lines next to Guan's father's eyes couldn't be hidden.
I thought to myself, this is really a poor family, I don't know how long it has been since I had such a good meal.
When I thought that it was the Wang family who was the Gu, and when I thought that I kowtowed to Wang Qiang last night, I didn't get angry.
After eating, the family of three was embarrassed to stay longer, and said goodbye with a thousand thanks. Before leaving, I squeezed Guan Yue's shoulder: "Hey, don't forget to come and eat pork stewed vermicelli tomorrow." ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay! Leave me more, I'll eat more. ”
I yelled at the kitchen, "Oh, you have a pig, is it enough for you?" ”
Guan Yue snorted and laughed, sure enough, Guan's mother was well, she didn't have to marry the Wang family, her heart knot opened, and she became much more cheerful.
Seeing off the three members of the Guan family, I stretched. The noon sun shone on the dry branches, and a few sparrows were chirping on the branches, forming a picture of ink and blue.
At this time, my grandmother came out on crutches and came straight behind me.
I already knew she was coming, and I knew what she was going to ask, but I couldn't figure out how to explain it.
"Luo'er, don't you have anything to explain to Grandma?"
"Oops!" I deliberately pretended to be startled, "Grandma, can you walk a little quietly, it scares me to death!" ”
Grandma snorted, "Hmph! In the middle of the realm, I can't hear my old lady's footsteps, who is it? ”
I smiled awkwardly and lowered my head to feed the chickens.
"Luo'er, Grandma Tai asked you, when did you start cultivating? In just a few months, he actually reached the middle stage of the transformation realm. Cultivators have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and grandma is also for your good. ”
I watched the chickens finish pecking the buds on the ground, "Grandma, just now when you saved Guan Yue's mother, I knew that you were not an ordinary person." I'll tell you all. ”
I dragged my grandmother to the stone mill and sat down.
"I don't know what you mean by mid-realm. I also stumbled upon the fact that I was a stranger. ”
"Oh? Strangers? ”
"Well," I looked at my grandmother and nodded, "The supernatural is born with the ability that others don't have, and I'm the wind supernatural, so you must know this." At that time, I sent Yin Yifang to the hospital, and when I came home, you threw a cup at me, and then I thought about it and understood your intentions. ”
Grandma's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Who told you that this is called a supernatural person?" ”
So, I briefly told my grandmother about the things I had just arrived at school, met the Yin Devouring Ghost, and met Gu Tanrao.
Grandma Tai looked a little unbelievable, but she didn't ask anything more. Instead, ask me.
"Then, this golden needle is ...... acupoint"
"That's what you mean?" I sprinkled another handful of buds into the chicken pen.
"Speaking of which, this thing is really magical, this golden needle couldn't be taken off before, just now I just wanted to try, to see if the golden needle can be pierced accurately with the wind control."
Grandma's old face sank: "It's just nonsense, human life is at stake, you have never used it, just try it?" ”
I stuck out my tongue.
"This is cured, it's okay, if this is wrong, Luo'er, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life."
Grandma's words are not unreasonable. Indeed, whether it was saving people or killing demons before, I didn't use the wind to control the golden needle, today is really the first time for a big girl to go to the sedan chair, if something really happens to Guan's mother, how should I face Guan Yue.
I'm still too young and vigorous.
Grandma Tai sighed and looked into the distance: "Hey, the year you were born, Taohuayu was out of phase from the sky, I couldn't figure it out at that time, but now it seems that my great-granddaughter was born with a mission." Anyway, because my family has been loyal and good for generations, after the famous family, don't let your ancestors down! ”
Grandma said and patted me on the shoulder.
