Chapter 65: Heart-to-Heart Talk 2
Old Lady Xue's voice gradually choked up, "He is worried about everything in the Xue family, and he is also worried about you, although he doesn't say much, but I, as a mother, can perceive it." ”
Old Mrs. Xue couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she mentioned her only son, "He said, the Xue family's century-old family of witch doctors, now this situation makes him feel weak, if he is given another twenty years, he may be able to improve a little, but unfortunately there is no choice, this mess, who is left to take over, makes him feel guilty, so he said that it depends on God's will." ”
Xue Ling heard this, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
gathered and scattered, scattered and gathered, and in the end it still couldn't turn into tears, only a sigh.
No one knows better than she how tricky this mess is.
Once upon a time, I wanted to escape countless times.
After two lifetimes, she is now certain that no one is more suitable than her.
Xue Ling raised her eyelids, her emotions had already been hidden, and in that life, her grandmother had never said such things to her.
Maybe it was because of the death of her mother, which first choked on her grandmother's heart, and then choked on her heart.
Gradually, it became a horizontal ditch that could not be crossed between grandparents and grandchildren.
Grandmother loved her and protected her, but she couldn't talk to her about it.
And she is the same, relying on her grandmother, being close to her grandmother, but she can't confide in her grandmother.
Now, my mother is alive and well, and that ditch is no longer there.
Grandmother's words seem to fill a gap that she has not been able to touch in her two lifetimes.
She didn't know that her father had said such things.
Xue Ling asked softly, "Grandmother, Daddy, Daddy, what else did Daddy say?" ”
Old Madam Xue took Xue Ling's hand, "Girl, I originally thought that this would rot in my stomach, but now I see that the elders of this clan are only afraid of having their own hearts, and seeing that you are becoming more and more assertive, I want to talk to you about my heart." ”
Mrs. Xue took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and then continued, "Your father knows that his life will not be long in coming, so he taught you witchcraft with his heart, he once said a word, he doesn't know if he taught you this, will it hurt you, but when it was time to leave, he still handed over the medical skills to you, I think, he has no other choice." ”
Xue Ling remembered that even her father had said something like this to her, "Ah Ling, it would be nice if you were a boy." ”
My father said this more than once, especially when the time came, and when my father was confused, he would always repeat it a few times.
She used to be only a father after all, but she was not exempt from vulgarity, but in the end, she had a patriarchal heart, and she didn't know that there were such worries behind it.
Xue Ling's eyes were a little astringent, and she said, "Grandmother doesn't have to worry about me, I am the daughter of the Xue family, and it is natural to share worries for the Xue family, and there is nothing wronged or wronged." ”
The more pity in Mrs. Xue's heart, she still wanted to talk to Xue Ling a few more words, but thinking that Xue Ling was too young, she finally swallowed the words that came to her lips, and just said, "Ah Ling, you have a good rest, let me think about it again, think about it again." ”
Xue Ling got up and wanted to send it, "Grandmother doesn't have to worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." In many cases, worrying too early is not necessary. ”
Old Lady Xue's eyes fell on Xue Ling's clothes, "Go take a shower, change into dry clothes, and take a good rest." ”
Xue Ling snorted.
After sending Mrs. Xue away, Xue Ling sat on the chair, and the breath she was carrying finally relaxed, and the whole person was a little weak.
She didn't want to move now.
"Girl, I'm going to put the water, you can take a good bath and rest." Siyu said softly.
Xue Ling wanted to refuse, she just wanted to collapse on the bed now and let herself relax.
But thinking about this stain, he nodded in the end.
When I came out of the shower, I saw my mother sitting at the table.
"Ah Ling, come here, take medicine."
Xue Ling walked over and sat opposite, only to see a pill the size of a little thumb in the dish on the table, she looked stunned, "A-Niang, this is a prescription for wind and cold, it seems to be different from the Xue family's decoction." ”
Jiang Yue said, "Yes, I see that you are afraid of bitterness, and every time I endure the appearance of drinking medicine, I feel distressed, so I estimate the amount of medicine and make pills, you eat first." ”
Xue Ling picked up the pill and put it in her lips, only the faint smell of Chinese medicine lingered between her lips and teeth.
She was a little surprised, "It's so good, many people who don't like decoction can directly use medicinal pills, A-Niang, you are so good." This is so configured. ”
Jiang Yue said, "It is to estimate the measurement, and then supplement it with some excipients that do not affect the medicinal properties, and make it, and when you return to the Xue family, I will teach you slowly." ”
Xue Ling nodded, and then she said, "It's really wonderful, I'll learn it well, A-Niang." ”
Jiang Yue couldn't help laughing.
The mother and daughter talked to each other for a while.
Jiang Yue then asked, "Ah Ling, what did you say in the ancestral hall today?" Those old stubborns didn't embarrass you. ”
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing, the three words old stubborn were very commensurate.
"I told them that my father had calculated in advance that this witchcraft would be destroyed, just in case, so he taught me this ancestral magic in advance. It's too late for the elders to rejoice, so how can they blame me? ”
Jiang Yue said, "The art of divination is all bluffing, if your father knew what happened next, why didn't he reveal it at all." ”
Xue Ling sighed, but just agreed.
What her mother didn't believe, she didn't want to say too much.
However, the art of divination has two drawbacks.
For one, we can only get a glimpse of the recent events.
Second, the practitioner cannot divinate for himself or his close relatives, because too much concern will lead to mental interference, and the result will be biased.
Therefore, not divination for oneself and one's relatives is already an unwritten rule of the Xue family, and only those who pass it on will know.
Just as it was impossible for her to deduce the bad luck of herself, her mother, and her sister.
That day, she said that she deduced that her mother was in trouble, and such a thing could only deceive Jiang's mother.
Later, she felt more and more that what she deduced was not only interfering with her choice, but the final outcome was still difficult to change, so she only used the technique of divination to infer the symptoms.
She has been a witch master for four years, to be precise, she has only tried to break the good luck once, and she just happened to spy on the witch trouble.
Sometimes it's not a good thing to have an unpredictable prophet.
Up to now, Xue Ling somewhat understands the reason why her mother has been criticizing this witchcraft like this.
Xue Ling put away his thoughts, didn't talk about the matter in detail, and changed the topic, "Today, the elders said that they want to set an heir before Daddy's first seven, Ah Niang, two cousins, which one do you prefer more?" ”
Jiang Yue thought of Xue Yuan and Xue Hao, and she frowned slightly.
She didn't want any of them.
