Chapter 499: A child with a red rope wrapped around his body
A few women under the tree at the entrance of the village stopped working, and they were talking about why Lin Laosan would save the doll of Widow Lu's house first, and who came over with the other child.
There are all kinds of speculations, some say that this Lin Laosan may have something to do with Widow Lu, is it possible that the doll of the Lu family is Lin Laosan's biological child, and the one in his own family may not, the two children are the same age, and they were born in one month, and the difference is only three or two days.
If it is said that in this village, a tanuki for the prince was quietly staged, and it was really impossible for everyone to find out.
And the relationship between Widow Lu's family and Lin Laosan's family can be said to be very good, the two children stay together all day long, sometimes live directly in Lin Laosan's house, sometimes they all live in Widow Lu's house, and the people in the village don't care about such things, after all, they are all children, if the children want to live in someone's house, as long as the relationship between adults is passable, they will not refuse this matter.
But now that there is such a play, it is inevitable that people will gossip.
If it is said that the child of Lin Laosan's family is actually the child of Widow Lu, and the child of Widow Lu's family is the child of Lin Laosan, then Lin Laosan's actions will be said in the past.
However, Widow Lu should also know about this matter, after all, no one is more familiar with the appearance of her child than a mother, since the matter was told by Widow Lu to the daughter-in-law of the Li family, it means that Widow Lu's mood has not been affected, but she is very grateful to Lin Laosan.
If something really goes wrong with her own children, then Widow Lu shouldn't have the leisure to talk to the Li family's daughter-in-law about these things.
From this point of view, the matter of the tanuki changing the prince is a little untenable, which shows that Widow Lu's child is really her child, so is it possible, only Lin Laosan knows about this matter, and Widow Lu doesn't know at all?
But what is it for?
They are all people in the same village, and they are all neighbors, and it cannot be said that changing a child can make a child have a rich and noble life, and even living with a widow, the child will be more difficult.
Although Lin Laosan's family usually takes care of Widow Lu, this kind of care is also limited, and it cannot be said that everything is taken care of.
If Widow Lu's child is really Lin Laosan's seed, then this will not be good, but will make her child's life more miserable, no matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable.
Of course, there is another explanation, that is, the one who was held by Lin Laosan was really the child of Widow Lu, and it had nothing to do with Lin Laosan, and his children really had problems, but they were all people in the village, and I had never heard that Lin Laosan was so self-sacrificing.
Lin Laosan's family and Widow Lu's family, the situation in the village is similar, they are relatively few words, rarely with everyone, familiar with the Lin family, and then there are a few sporadic people, otherwise it would not be so many people who followed Lin Laosan up the mountain to find the child at that time.
At this time, the old woman who had been sitting and listening opened her mouth and suppressed everyone's voices.
"Okay, okay, don't chew your tongue here, Lin Laosan's matter is not what you think, their family and the Lu family have a bit of a relationship, it may be a little strange to say that others do this, but on Lin Laosan's body, it would be really strange if he didn't do it."
"Rope, what the hell is going on, if you know, tell us."
The daughter-in-law of the Li family didn't know anything about this matter at all, and when she saw the old lady speak, she immediately climbed up the pole, wanting to find out about the origin of the two families.
"You little girl, don't ask around, I can't say this, if you do, you're going to get into trouble, anyway, you remember that the relationship between the two families is quite deep, just do it, now tell me what the situation is with the children of the third family?"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family was unwilling, but looking at the old woman's expression, she also knew that it was impossible to ask what words from the mouth of this aunt today, and she thought about going back to the old man in the family to ask, since the old woman knew, the old man in the family might not know what was going on.
There's no need to choke on this old woman here.
"Okay, you're the biggest, listen to you."
The little daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and muttered a few words with some resentment, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"I heard Widow Lu say, she went to Lin Laosan's house to see it later, but the child of Lin Laosan's family was lying on the kang like that, motionless, covered with a quilt, her face was pale, if it wasn't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, the eldest sister of the Lu family thought that the child had gone."
"She asked Na Lin Laosan at the time, what the hell is going on, how did this kid become like this?"
"As a result, Lin Laosan's answer was quite perfunctory, saying that the child was bitten by a poisonous snake and had just been detoxified, but the poison had not been cleaned up, so his face was very bad and he needed a period of recuperation."
"Widow Lu didn't say anything at the time, she wanted to touch the doll's head, but Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law kept blocking it, and she didn't say anything at that time, after all, it was Lin Laosan who saved her child, but it made Lin Laosan's own child become like this, and she felt very guilty in her heart."
"Then, I can only go out, but when I went out, I glanced back, Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law happened to reach out to cover the child with the quilt, and Widow Lu saw the situation inside the quilt from the corner of the quilt, guess what?"
"The child's body was wrapped in red thread, the arms, legs, except for the head, the whole person seemed to be wrapped in a red cocoon, and vaguely she seemed to see a yellow rune paper attached to the red rope."
Widow Lu paused, and wanted to turn around to take a look, but this Lin Laosan's face suddenly appeared in her sight, blocking between her and the child.
"Widow Lu knew that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be as simple as Lin Laosan said that she had been poisoned by a snake, but Lin Laosan looked at her with a blushing face, although she didn't speak, but the meaning of sending off the guest was already very obvious, even if the relationship between the two families was good, there was no reason for Widow Lu to continue to stay there at that time."
"It came out after that, but this matter has always been taken to her heart, and when I went to look for her yesterday, I chatted for a while, and she couldn't help it, so she told me about it."
"You say, what happened to the children of Lin Laosan's family? How could a good child be tied with a red thread and affixed with a charm? ”
The daughter-in-law of the Li family looked like she had palpitations, and what she said was true, as if it was not Widow Lu who saw the red rope and yellow rune paper on the child's body with her own eyes, but it.
However, everyone did not dwell on the question that the daughter-in-law of the Li family said, and they were all attracted by the situation of the children of the third family of Lin Lao that she said.
This time is not the early years, what feudal superstition is to be defeated, like what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, that are all targets to be defeated, the village chief said, there are a few Taoist temples in the village and some worship statues, all of which were smashed with shovels and pickaxes.
The women were talking happily before, but when it came to this, everyone stopped talking, this kind of thing was too sensitive at that time, although this Linjia Village was relatively remote, but no one could guarantee what kind of consequences would be caused if everyone publicized this matter.
In the end, it was the old lady who opened her mouth: "This matter ends here, we have heard the matter, everyone has a way to think of ideas, and if there is no way, don't go out and talk nonsense, especially the people from outside the village, but they can't even mention it in front of them, if this matter is known by others, maybe there will be some kind of trouble." ”
The old lady's words were a final word, and the women nodded one after another, although they did not continue to say anything, but this matter was the end of it, but whether this matter would be spread out, and by whom, no one could guarantee that it was to keep their mouths shut, but if their mouths were so easy to control, they would not know about it.
