Chapter 18: Chance Encounters

The eyes of the audience were focused on the old man and Aunt Chang.

"How many days have you been sick?" Aunt Chang's mouth moved away from the cigarette stick and said slowly.

"It's been four days. Looking for Lang Zhong, I haven't looked at it and it's not optimistic. Three generations of single transmission are just such a single seedling. What can I do? The old man said anxiously.

"Looking for Langzhong? If you can cure the disease, you can't cure your life. Aunt Chang's tone was unquestionable.

"Then you'll show me?" The old man pleaded.

"Tomorrow, not today. You've seen it all, a bunch of old and young masters are waiting to listen to our play. After speaking, Aunt Chang's eyes fluttered and swept everyone's eyes.

That glance was like a gentle little hand gently scratching the heart of every old errand and trot. The men in the place flickered in their hearts.

Brother Jiang whispered: "This mother-in-law was not a fuel-efficient lamp when she was young, she must have been a vixen." Alas, when you see a mother, you know what her daughter is like. ”

At this time, I saw the old man walking to the center of the room and bowing his hands, "Three old and four young, old and young masters, I am Xu Wanfu from Hailin." There are people here who have heard of it, and there are people who have not heard of it. The three generations of our family have passed on a single seedling. After speaking, he pointed to the crying child with his hand, "This child has been sick for three or four days, and he didn't look at Lang Zhong." I didn't hear that Aunt Chang could invite the fox fairy to come down to earth, so the two of us came. Old and young masters, no one will leave later, four big buns per person! ”

Turning around, the old man said to Aunt Chang again: "Aunt Chang, Aunt Chang!" As long as your old man cures his child's illness, how much money does your old man open his mouth! ”

Aunt Chang sat firmly on the lotus platform with Erlang's legs crossed like Guanyin, only to hear her sigh, "Who doesn't want to do good deeds, what money is not money, if you are optimistic, you will get a hundred." ”

Aunt Chang said to Bai Peony again: "Carry the child to the back room, and ask the fox fairy to clean the child before purifying it." I'll have to get ready first. ”

After speaking, Aunt Chang turned around and went back to the back room first.

Half an hour later, White Peony pushed the door and walked into the house. Aunt Chang was sitting at the table smoking a cigarette pouch. The child was still crying while lying on the kang, but it was noticeably much quieter than before.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" White Peony asked.

Aunt Chang knocked on the table with a cigarette pouch. On a piece of yellow paper on the table there are more than a dozen soybeans, but these soybeans are significantly larger than ordinary soybeans.

"Mom, isn't this a soybean?" White Peony said.

"I searched for a long time to find it. This is pulled out of the child's **. In a few days, the soybeans will rise a little more, and the child does not know what will become of them. I don't know who it is, I have been missing eight lifetimes of great virtue, and I am doing this thing of cutting off children and grandchildren. Aunt Chang said calmly.

"And this kind of thing!" White Peony said in surprise.

"What is this, I have seen anything more immoral than this. However, the play that should be played still has to be performed, and I have to invite the second god later. Aunt Chang said.

"Well, my daughter looks like a flower. Guarding the cash cow old lady, I still have to eat. Aunt Chang sighed again.

"I blame me, and I don't look at the people you found for me!" White Peony complained.

"What's wrong with that company commander surnamed Zhang?" Aunt Chang asked.

"A little broken company commander wants to send me away, and those below the regiment commander will not marry!" White Peony said angrily.

"Why don't you want that rich man of the Willow River?" Aunt Chang asked again.

"He's half buried. If I marry him, maybe he'll die in a few days. Besides, it's better to be small. White Peony said.

"You're eighteen, and you'll be worth nothing in two years. Just like this, Xu Wanfu is the leading rich man on Hailin Street. His family is in the grain business and runs an oil mill. A few years ago, his daughter-in-law died, and immediately married a sixteen-year-old yellow flower girl. Or I'll marry you off to him this time. If you don't ask who is the richest in a place, is it still my aunt? Girl, you are not as good as your mother and me. Aunt Chang sighed again.

"Who said that? You're not married in your twenties. How can I hear others say that your old man was romantic when he was in his twenties, and he knew a lot of dignitaries. White Peony laughed.

"Dead girl, did you talk to your mother like that! Goneβ€”please God! Hold the child. Aunt Chang was so angry that she turned around and walked out the door.

Aunt Chang was startled when she walked into the main room - the room was full of people each holding a big bowl of noodles and eating noodles.

Xu Wanfu saw Aunt Chang and Bai Peony coming in, and smiled at Aunt Chang and said, "I was in a hurry to send steamed buns, but how could there be so many noodles." Isn't this changing to eating noodles? ”

Aunt Chang turned to the house full of errand boys and said, "Old and young masters, let's go back to the house to rest after eating noodles." This room will have to ask God to treat the child later. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and a man said with a hippie smile: "I haven't seen the play, it's okay to see the gods." ”

"Look at your mother's claws!" Aunt Chang glanced at the man, but never spoke again.

As soon as they heard that they could see God, they all sped up. After a while, a large bucket of noodles was cleaned.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Xu Wanfu looked at Aunt Chang with a blank look.

Aunt Chang sighed and said, "Okay, please God now." It's important to save the child. ”

Under the dim oil lamp, I saw Aunt Chang clear her throat and sit up straight in her chair.

Suddenly, Aunt Chang's body began to twitch, and the amplitude became bigger and bigger, shaking like chaff.

Aunt Chang also made a whining sound from her mouth, and at some point, Aunt Chang's hair had fallen and covered her entire face.

"Big night, do you have anything to do with me looking for the old fairy?" A hoarse voice came out of his hair.

"The grandson of the shopkeeper Xu is sick and always crying. Old fairy, take a look. White Peony said on the side.

"The child is sick? I'll show you the old fairy. Aunt Chang's body then shook more violently, and the chair under her ass creaked.

Suddenly, Aunt Chang's body was stunned, and a gloomy voice came out one by one: "Old son, eldest grandson, old lady, the root of life." The underworld is too deserted, this time I said that I have to take my eldest grandson away! Xu Wanfu, you have suffered a thousand cuts! I'm busy running this house, saving money. As a result, as soon as my front foot died, you married a little goblin and came back, and dressed her in gold and silver, and ate and drank spicy food. I can't spare you! ”

As soon as Aunt Chang's body became weak, she collapsed on the chair.

The room was full of people staring at each other, and they didn't dare to come out.

After a while, Aunt Chang's body moved and slowly sat up.

"Oh, what just happened? How come I don't know anything? Aunt Chang asked.

"Mom, it's the child's grandmother who feels cold in the underworld and wants to take the child away." White Peony said.

"That's the case, what do you think of the shopkeeper Xu?" Aunt Chang asked.

"I, I don't know what to do. During the Chinese New Year, I burned paper for her. Xu Wanfu said sneeringly.

"I think so, you find a few monks and Taoists to do a Dharma and burn more paper money! Let your daughter-in-law be rich and prosperous in the grave. That's it, you can leave the hundred yuan and go back with the child. Aunt Chang said.

Back in the back room, Bai Peony gave a thumbs up: "Mom, you are really good!" ”

"it! Let's solve the child's illness, and we don't know who to offend. Rest for the night today, and we'll leave tomorrow morning! Aunt Chang said.
