Wang's words made Zhang Jie silent for a long time, and then he fell on the bed, not wanting to waste his brain thinking about these messy things.

A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind, the old man's behavior today was a little abnormal, sitting in the courtyard with a chess piece at noon, completely looking like he was waiting for someone, so who was he waiting for?

In fact, in the whole village, except for the third uncle and the old man himself, there are not many people who can play chess, in the words of the third uncle, this is a thing played by elegant people, mud legs or something, obediently go back to play your tiger and eat grasshoppers.

The third uncle has eaten at noon every day, and he always has to take a nap, the old man naturally knows this habit of the third uncle, that is to say, the old man is not waiting for the third uncle, so if you think about it from another angle, is the old man waiting for himself?

When this conclusion was reached, Zhang Jie felt a little like his heart was beating faster.

It seems that the old man is deliberately testing himself, or giving himself a chance, otherwise his abnormal behavior will not make sense.

"Is it because of the bracelet? Let the old man feel that he has wronged me, so he will give me such a chance to come out? He muttered a few words to himself, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Wang family in the room was starting to make shoe samples again.

Knowing that Wang was remaking shoes for himself, the pair he made before was put on the bedside like a baby because Zhang Jie was unwilling to wear it, and Wang had no way to take Zhang Jie, so he started sewing it again.

Fortunately, when I made shoes before, the needlework and thread were complete, but the soles had to take some work, so Wang thought about going to the market tomorrow to sell a pair of soles to Zhang Jie again.

The sun outside the house is too scorching, and at this time, in addition to staying in the house, wanting to go out is purely uncomfortable for yourself.

But even if he is hiding in the house, the sweat on his forehead is still dripping down, which makes me miss the air conditioning fan of that world, without those things, such a hot and dry weather, there is no other way than to resist the past.

As soon as I rolled my eyes, I thought of the stream outside the village, the water of the stream was cold, find a shady place, and then soak your feet in the cold stream, or simply burrow into the water, it is definitely the supreme enjoyment.

Before Zhang Jie could figure out whether to go to the creek, he suddenly heard the anxious shouts of the little aunt coming from the yard.

The old man and the old lady seemed to be alarmed, and the courtyard seemed to be very lively, and when he saw that the Wang family had also gone out, Zhang Jie rushed up.

"Why are you so careless that children can fall out of bed when they sleep? Look at the head knock. When Zhang Jie came to the yard, he saw the old lady holding the iron egg of the uncle's house, while reprimanding the anxious little sister-in-law.

"I don't know what's wrong with this kid today, usually Tie Dan sleeps the most honestly, who knows why he fell out of bed today!" Looking at the little fart who was howling in the old lady's arms, the little sister-in-law Chen looked at a loss.

"Okay, Dongjin, go to the village to find your Aunt Hua, and let your Aunt Hua come to support the soul of the iron egg, this child must be scared." In the end, the old man was the calmest, looked at the iron egg that had been thrown a big bag on the top of his head, and then turned his head to the uncle and commanded.

At this time, I realized that the little sister-in-law was not optimistic about it when she was napping, and let Tie Dan fall out of bed, which was not a big deal, which child did not fall out of bed when he slept. However, the only thing that is a bit serious may be that the iron egg is too unlucky.

Everyone hits the ground first, at most they drop their arms and legs, and it's good to howl twice, but this kid hits the ground with his head first, and the bag on his head looks a little scary.

It may be that it really hurts, and the iron egg has been howling there, no matter how the adults coax, the child howls vigorously, and even begins to cough in the end, and when the child doesn't know whether he is crying, or when he starts retching caused by coughing, at the gate of the hospital, the uncle came with an old lady who is about fifty years old.

This is an old woman who is a little fancy, with a full head of silver hair and meticulous grooming, and she is not young, but she is wearing fancy clothes that even seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls dare not wear.

When this flower aunt entered the yard, the grandmother greeted her with the iron egg, and then walked and said: "Her aunt Hua, hurry up and hold the soul of the iron egg, this child must be scared." ”

For this famous flower aunt, Zhang Jie only heard of his name, and it was the first time he saw it, I heard that this old lady would not only give people souls, but also give people a look at the disease, but unlike the doctor in the county, this flower aunt does not prescribe medicine for people, as long as the old lady prays and prays, she is picking a big god dance or something, and she can cure the disease.

Most of the people in the village believe in this flower aunt, whether it is a major or minor illness, they basically look for this old lady to see.

I saw Aunt Hua, who was holding Tie Dan in her arms, rolled over the eyelids of Tie Dan, who was already crying breathlessly, and then went to my uncle's house with the child in her arms.

When a group of adults entered the house, Zhang Jie's little short legs couldn't squeeze in, standing outside the door and tiptoeing to look into the house, but there were too many people crowded in the small room, no matter how Zhang Jie scratched his ears and cheeks, he just couldn't see the plot inside.

"Iron Egg is coming~Come back~...... Iron eggs come. ”

After a while, there was a cry from Aunt Hua pinching her throat in the room, Zhang Jie knew that this was the old lady summoning the soul of Tie Dan, listening to the hysterical cry of Tie Dan in the house, Zhang Jie, who pouted his lips, lost interest in watching it.

"If the fall is not serious, you will hold the soul, no one knows whether it works or not, but children have fallen like this, now I don't go to the county seat to get two anti-swelling and pain-relieving medicines, and let the old lady toss around here, isn't this self-deception!"

looked at the sun overhead, and then looked back at the ghosts crying wolves in the room, Zhang Jie, who sighed deeply, planned to go out for a walk, out of sight and out of mind.

At this time, he never dared to rush into the house and say that the flower aunt was not, although he knew that the old lady was a charlatan, but Zhang Jie bet that if he ran into the house and said that the old lady was cheating, the family would not only not believe him, but his best result would probably be to be beaten up, and even if the flower aunt was vicious, saying that Zhang Jie was leaning over and talking nonsense by ghosts and spirits, then Zhang Jie's fate might be very miserable.

Feudal superstition has not been completely eradicated even in its own era, let alone in this ignorant and backward era.

In the absence of absolute strength or absolute prestige, it is best not to provoke these things easily, otherwise, with a little short leg like Zhang Jie, he will be abused to death by others in minutes.

"Anyway, it's just a drop in bed, a bag on the head, it's not a big deal, at most the little fart hurts for two days, and it doesn't have any effect on the iron egg if you don't conjure the soul or something, if you want to toss, go toss!"

Muttering a sentence in his mouth, Zhang Jie, who had his hands behind his back, walked towards the stream outside the village.
