In the early autumn dusk, the air is clear and warm, and the autumn air is high and refreshing.

As the sky darkened, Jian Shengniang's hand holding Li Tian tightened more and more. Li Tian felt the change in her mother, and her free hand gently stroked the back of her slightly trembling hand, and thought to herself:

This miserable woman is on my miserable home, and her life is really more bitter than Coptis chinensis. After so many years, I have finally paid off my debts, and now I have accumulated a dozen taels of silver, which is almost enough to take her to the state capital and find a famous doctor to treat her. It is best to borrow more than 100 taels of silver from Brother Xing, and then beg him if he can entrust some relationship and go to the national capital to ask the doctor in the Tai Hospital to diagnose it, which is the best.

But with this huge debt and this favor, how can I pay it off in my life? If I can be sure that this stubborn disease can be cured, it will be worth the gamble that I will fight for my life. But there is too little hope that this disease will be cured. This one-in-a-hundred opportunity tells me how to do things that are tiring and tiring for me.

For the sake of this hard-working woman, I am willing to sell this life to Brother Xing, even if it is at the cost of making cattle and horses for his juniors, in exchange for one out of ten hope of success.

It's just that as the doctor said last time, such a stubborn mental illness, even if it is a famous doctor in the world, I am afraid that he is helpless. It is too far to chase that illusory result at such a great expense, in the abject poverty of my family. I hope that Brother Xing's idea this time can alleviate the condition of this bitter woman, and it is best to restore the state when she was alive and healthy, then I really have to thank God and the ancestors for blessing.

If this miserable woman were healed and looked at me like this, would she be disgusted? Will they abandon their homes and run away from home? However, it doesn't matter, this woman's life is hard enough, she can be happy. She has endured hardships in my family for many years, and she gave birth to this kid for my family, and I should sacrifice more for her.

While Li Tian was thinking endlessly, the sun had set, and the red glow over the mountains in the west had also faded. As the night wore on, Jian Shengniang became more and more afraid, and her gaze at Li Tian had gradually changed from trust to suspicion, and finally she simply broke free from Li Tian's palm, squatting under a big tree and burying her head in reluctance to leave.

Li Tian had expected such a situation to happen, so he left her alone here, and quietly retreated to find Li Xing and the others.

"Let's wait here, and we won't start until it's late at night, when Jiansheng Niang sleeps. It would be better if it made it easier for her to get into the situation of her inner fear. ”

"Okay, are you all ready?"

"Dad, we're carrying everything here!"

Two fathers and sons, hiding behind a tree a stone's throw away from Jian Shengniang, quietly discuss their plans.

Not long after, Jiansheng Niang and her clothes sat on the ground, half-rolled up, and fell asleep. What she didn't know was that there were several people watching her every move from a short distance. There were a few people not far away, bolting their minds to her, this has Li Xing's calmness, Li Tian's excitement, Li Wen and Li Jiansheng's excitement, they are all waiting for the time to save her.

Suddenly, they heard the voice of a man not far away, and two people were walking in their direction along the road. The two whispered as they walked lightly.

"Big brother, there seems to be a woman lying under the tree by the roadside. It's strange not to come home so late. How did you sleep there? Maybe drunk! Why don't we go and help her? ”

"Shhhh Don't say it so loudly. This is the crazy woman in Cheongdam Village. You should have seen her during the day. It is said that she wanders outside, and occasionally when she can't get home before dark, she will spend the night in the wilderness. This crazy woman is most afraid of seeing people after dark, and when she sees people, she will be scared to the point of urine. This woman's life is miserable enough, don't scare her, go, go! ”

The probe looked at the distant figures of the two passers-by, and Li Tian's father and son glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but have a sour nose and red eyes.

When the half moon hung in the air, the four people under the tree were busy.

Li Xing put on a robe, but instead of wearing a Dao crown, he used a black turban to circle and circle like a Miao person. Funnily enough, he put a cigarette gun in each of the turbans on his forehead, and the cigarette pouches hanging on the two pencils were swaying and funny. Li Xing had a few rooster tail crown hairs stuck in the back of his head, and this tall and colorful tail crown hair added a bit of power to him.

Li Wen was much simpler, dressed in white clothes and white pants, and wearing a mask used in the temple fair.

Jiansheng, who was picking up leaves, was dressed as a father and son, but he wanted to laugh but obviously couldn't laugh, and his mood was both nervous and heavy.

"Dad, is it okay to dress like this?"

"Of course, Jian Shengniang will treat anyone as a wizard in the dark because she has a heart disorder. What's more, our outfit is enough to confuse the real with her. ”

"But do I only know that a warrior wields a sword, and a wizard holds a sword in his hand?" Li Wen scratched his head and asked.

"Yes, yes, you should get a staff. Ah Tian, pay attention, find me a handy long stick. ”

"Brother Xing, I know! Jiansheng, you have to pick up half-raw and half-dry firewood. ”

??????

After some scrambling, everyone was finally almost ready. The four of them gathered to discuss, and after a few words of advice, they began their actions.

Li Xing was in front, Li Wen was hiding behind him, and the two of them approached the sleeping Jiansheng Niang lightly. More than ten meters away from Jianshengniang, Li Xing stopped his steps, turned back to confirm that his son was following closely, and then looked at Li Tian not far behind him.

Li Tian and Jiansheng were busy, and they were desperately fanning the smoke behind Li Xing's father and son. Seeing Li Xing coming, Li Tian nodded slowly, he knew that the critical moment was coming, his face was tighter, and the fan was fanning harder.

Li Xing had words in his mouth, and at the same time shook the copper bell in his hand one by one, and the crisp bell suddenly sounded in this empty and quiet night.

After a few rings, Jian Shengniang woke up. Looking towards the bell, in the fog and smoke, she saw Li Xing, who was dressed in a strange costume, rattling the bell on the left and holding the stick on the right. Jian Shengniang's inner fear instantly spread all over her body, and under a fierce attack, she turned over and knelt on the ground, and kept telling forgiveness: "Da Wu is gracious, Da Wu spares his life!" ”

The effect came so quickly, Li Xing was overjoyed, and he didn't say much about kicking his son behind him, signaling that it was time for him to play.

Li Wende's father signaled, and flashed out from behind his father.

In order to better play his role well, and it is also a child's heart, Li Wen opened his teeth and claws as soon as he appeared, screaming, and looking vicious as if he wanted to pounce away.

It's just that as soon as Jian Shengniang saw Li Wen appear, she immediately shook all over her body, and her face turned black.

Li Xing saw that her eyes were rolling, she looked shaky, and secretly screamed badly. Li Xing shook the copper bell wildly to attract the attention of the other party, and the other was a strong pressure guttural voice that did not leave a gap in his teeth and said urgently: "Stop!" Stop! Stop! Don't move, don't scare her. ”

When Li Wen heard his father's words, he also noticed Jian Shengniang's reaction. He secretly exclaimed, "It's broken," and obediently walked back to his father's feet, quietly not daring to move.

Jian Shengniang was distracted by the sudden and sudden ringing of the bell, and when she saw Li Wen quietly return to Li Xing's feet and do not move. She barely fainted, but trembled all over, kowtowed and cried, "Don't, don't let the little ghost go." ”

Seeing that the situation had stabilized temporarily, Li Xing secretly wiped the cold sweat in his heart, and the movement of the rattle bell also changed from the previous rapidity to a rhythmic and more powerful pause. When he saw Jian Shengniang looking up again because of the change in the bell tone, Li Xing was overjoyed and hurriedly kicked the son next to him.

This time, Li Wen was very clever, and with a dexterous flash, he hid behind his father and disappeared. Li Wen clinged to his father, afraid that he would show the corner of his clothes to Jianshengniang.

The little ghost was gone, Jian Shengniang's heart was wide, and then she heard the wizard say loudly: "The punishment is enough, in the future, you don't have to be punished, live in peace!" She suddenly felt a lightness in her heart and hurriedly kowtowed.

Jian Shengniang kowtowed a few times and looked again, but the smoke was blurred in front of her, and the wizard was long gone. With her current consciousness, of course, she can't fully understand what happened tonight, but there is no person in front of her inner fear, and the pressure on her heart will naturally disappear. She still vaguely remembered what had happened, and even more remembered what the wizard had said at the end, and the fear hidden in the depths of her soul seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.

Out of instinctive fear of the dark, Jian Shengniang didn't dare to move around at will, she was stunned for a while, in a daze, and then buried her head in sleep.

Although the pressure in her heart faded, the damaged consciousness would not be healed because of this. No one knew that it was the most comfortable night she had slept in years. No one can understand the suffering she has suffered for many years, and who knows this kind of spiritual suffering?

Under the waning moon and stars, Li Xing and Li Tian were keeping vigil for Jianshengniang, afraid that she would disturb unsuspecting passers-by, resulting in the loss of their previous achievements.

"The temperature is a little cool on this autumn night, Brother Xing! Why don't you take these two stinky boys home and sleep, and I'll stay here all night by myself tonight." Li Tian looked at his sleeping son who was sleeping on his lap, and then at Li Wen, who was sitting in Li Xing's arms with his eyes closed, and he said apologetically.

"No, tonight is a critical night for Jianshengniang, don't let anyone disturb her. In case several unexpected things happen at the same time, how can you take care of it alone, and multiple people are more strength and more security. ”

"And, we've made a lot of preparations for tonight, don't you see, aren't you sleeping soundly with Kensheng covered in a blanket and leaning on you?"

"Jiansheng has been accustomed to suffering since he was little, and it's nothing. It's just that it would be a sin to let Li Wen also accompany us to endure hardships, in case of another illness. ”

"Uncle Tian, don't worry. I sat on my father's lap, covered with a blanket, I don't know how warm it was! Don't drive me back, I like this, I like this warm feeling. Li Wenwen was doing his homework, meditating on communicating with various parts of his body, and after hearing Li Tian's words, he hurriedly withdrew from the state and argued.

"Why don't you sleep yet? Hurry up and go to sleep! Li Xing patted his son's little head, and after a few words, he said to Li Tian: "Just let these two boys accompany you here." Even if it's not as comfortable as sleeping in bed, it's good to let them experience the bitterness of this kind of love for the person they love. Tonight, perhaps, is the night they will have memories for the rest of their lives! ”

"I remember that winter." After Li Xing slowed down, he talked about the past: "I heard that my father's team was stationed in a neighboring town, and the farming work was over, so my mother took our three brothers to find our father and stayed in a ruined temple at night. Although the wind howled outside the temple and the family slept around the fire, I slept very comfortably and warmly, quietly and sweetly, and I still remember it vividly. ”

"Hey, in the course of life, there are not many good things that can be deeply remembered, maybe in the memories of these two boys, tonight will also become one of them, so let them sleep here for a night!"

Li Xing paused, and said softly in a heavy tone: "My eldest brother stayed in my father's barracks that time. Alas??????"
