Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sleepless Moon
"Slut. The man seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and while scolding, he pushed the woman hard, "You think it's beautiful, you married into my family because you were ugly and couldn't get married." Over the years, I have been laughed at by many people, saying that I married an ugly daughter-in-law like you for fame and fortune. You still want things back, you want to be beautiful. I advise you to stop as soon as possible, now your father has long since retired, and your brother is not a weapon. You don't expect me to help you in the future, heh. ”
The chubby woman was pushed to the ground and hit the stool just in time, and her head was bleeding. The middle-aged man didn't seem to be able to see it, and the chubby woman couldn't even speak at this time, only her eyes were full of hatred.
The man continued: "You have to let this house too, and if you don't let it, you have to let it. Think about it for yourself. With that, he walked away with the beautiful woman behind him. The fat woman was still sitting on the ground, blood running down her cheeks from her forehead. Her fists were clenched very tightly, blood and tears mixed together, all tears and unwillingness.
Xiaowa was stunned and said, "It turns out that the truth is like this, no wonder this woman wants to kill the little concubine." If this happens to me, I'm afraid I'll even have the heart to commit suicide. ”
Duckweed smiled: "I won't let Xiaowa marry such a man." Don't worry, I can see a person's past and heart. Even if the little baby meets it, I will eat that man to avenge you. ”
Xiaowa sighed: "This man is really ungrateful, that young concubine is really scheming." ”
"Let's go. It's time for us to go back. Duckweed said lightly.
"No matter, sister. Xiaowa wondered.
"I can't care about it, this woman has murderous intent, and the life of the man and the concubine is not long. Karma, I can't change it. We'll have to go back and draw the talisman for the patron sooner. ”
The wind rose in the night of Gusu, and it was still cool when it came to the body.
Duckweed and Xiaowa went back to the inn and asked the shopkeeper to buy a live rooster. Xiaowa asked wonderingly, "Sister, what are you buying chickens for?"
"Draw a talisman. Duckweed laughed wryly.
After duckweed took the blood between the eyebrows of the rooster and the hair between the eyebrows, he secretly dragged the baby to a courtyard behind the inn where no one was. She dug a pit and lit a fire.
In the dead of night, the little baby burped, wiped the oil on her mouth, and said very satisfied: "If only I could buy talismans every day." ”
Duckweed licked her fingers unsatisfactorily, stretched her waist and sighed, "I also wish I could have chicken to eat every day." ”
"Sister, did you say that the young woman who drew the talisman today will not live for more than two months also suffer like this? That's why you helped her?" asked the little baby casually, looking at the chicken bones she had eaten.
Duckweed shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know." Maybe she thinks she's bitter. ”
Xiaowa didn't understand it, but when she saw that duckweed refused to say anything more, she had no choice but to give up.
The night was already very deep, and the little baby was really sleepy, and just returned to the inn room, and as soon as she lay down in bed, she quickly fell asleep.
The next evening, the maid who had been with the young woman the previous night came as promised. Only this time she was the only one who came. Duckweed gave her a bag of red things, and the maid thanked her, and then secretly gave her a small bag of silver.
Duckweed smiled: "You don't have to be so polite. You take the red thing back and put it under your wife's pillow, and after seven days throw it into the river, and let it float away with the water. But remember, within these seven days, this thing must not be wet, otherwise all the work will be wasted, even if there is a Da Luo Immortal, it will not be able to save your wife. ”
The maid nodded, thanked her a few more times, and hurried away.
Xiaowa asked duckweed suspiciously, "Why is she in such a hurry to leave?"
"Hey, big families, always afraid of being bumped into and gossiped about. Duckweed said flatly, suddenly remembered something, and said to the little baby: "By the way, I will go to the underworld to borrow two things in the next two days." Do you want to go with me?"
At the mention of Hades, Xiaowa couldn't help but stand upside down with sweat and hair, and waved her hand again and again: "Is it okay if I don't go... I'm afraid that the Hades will settle old scores, what if he doesn't let me come back?"
"What are you afraid of, he can't beat me. It's okay not to go, this time it's a bit risky, and I'm afraid that the little baby will come back sick when she sees something unclean. Why don't you wait for me at the inn for two days?" duckweed touched the little baby's little head and said with a smile.
Xiaowa finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, she asked, "I must be waiting for my sister to come back obediently at the inn." It's just that my sister is going to borrow something, and since the Hades can't beat you, wouldn't it be better to just grab it?"
Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "Good idea, the little baby is so smart, exactly like what I thought in my heart." It's just that before the words ......" were finished, an elderly mother-in-law had already sat down on the stool in front of the stall and said to the duckweed slowly: "I heard that you are very good at fortune-telling, so it is better to calculate when the old body will enter the ground." ”
Duckweed frowned and called, "Mother-in-law, how did mother-in-law come to find me." I'm not, it was the Queen Mother who asked me to come down the mountain. ”
The old woman snorted coldly and said, "I know it's the Queen Mother of the West, but if you hadn't insisted on acting recklessly, the Queen Mother would have punished you for coming to the world? You have a God-given opportunity, why do you have to come to the world to suffer? Do you know that you are in the world, if you can't survive the catastrophe, you will die." “
"But I've been waiting for 10,000 years, have you ever been here? Besides, all the demons in the world are going to pass the catastrophe, how can I not do it?"
The old woman slapped the table vigorously, startling the little baby, and her voice was old, with a little anger and said: "Duckweed! Do you think I don't know your mind? Didn't you just come to find red pine nuts? He has his fate, so why should you bother?"
"Mother-in-law, don't persuade me anymore. As I said, I came to earth for myself, not for him. Gusu is hot, and the mother-in-law should not stay for a long time, so she will serve the queen mother in Kunlun Mountain earlier. When I cultivate to become an immortal, I will naturally come back to make amends to you. Duckweed took the mother-in-law's hand and said sincerely.
"Idiot. Hey, if you are in trouble, you can come back to me, even if the Queen Mother says no, but if you are coquettish, she will hurt you. With that, the old woman disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Before Xiaowa could react, she stammered a little: "Sister, she ...... That mother-in-law is... Why?"
Duckweed smiled and touched the little baby's head, sighed and said: "She is the best person in Kunlun Mountain to me, don't worry about me, no, it's a demon who came to the world to cultivate, so she wants me to go back and apologize to the Queen Mother of the West, so I don't have to practice in the world." ”
Xiaowa asked suspiciously: "Did my sister make a mistake?" But when my sister met me at that time, she said that it was the Queen Mother who said that you did not meet fate and did not experience the catastrophe, so you came to the world. Why apologize?"
"For me, it's all the same. Don't worry about it, Xiaowa, we've made a lot of money these days, so let's go back early today. Duckweed sighed.
The vendor selling water chestnut lotus root passed by, Xiaowa was very happy to buy several, duckweed looked at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the book of words in the world that she had seen before, she sang faintly:
When you go to Gusu to see you, everyone sleeps on the river. There is little idle land in the ancient palace, and there are many small bridges in the water lanes. The night market sells water lotus root, and the spring boat carries Qiluo. Knowing the sleepless moon from afar, homesickness is in the fishing song.
