Chapter 52 Fate

"Young man, may I ask, has something strange happened to your family recently?"

These words fell in the ears of the young man, like the sound of heaven, and he was suddenly startled and asked,

"You... How do you know? ”

Lao Dao smiled,

"It doesn't matter how I know, it matters what to do."

The man suddenly realized,

"Yes, yes, please come in."

The young man was the father of little Meng Yuerou, and he hurriedly invited the Taoist priest into the house, and then shouted into the house,

"Mom!"

"Hey, what's wrong?" The woman came out.

"This master knows about our family!" The man was very excited.

"Really?" The woman's eyes showed surprise.

"Really!"

"Oh, master, if you can help my poor granddaughter!" The woman's eyes were red, and she immediately came up, showing that she was distressed.

"Okay, don't worry." The Taoist priest replied.

In the past month or so, the child's condition has become more and more serious, and I originally thought that it was just that I was tired of crying at night and didn't sleep well, so the child loved to sleep during the day.

But now I sleep all the time except when I eat, and no matter how big a person is, I don't think it's normal.

But no matter what the way to go, I tried to seek medical treatment and worship the Buddha, but I didn't see the child getting better.

The Meng family really didn't know what to do.

The child's grandfather heard the voice at this time, and also came out and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Dad, this master may have a way, he knows about our family."

"Master?" He glanced at Lao Dao, and it was indeed quite presentable.

But a few days ago, I was suddenly ill and went to the doctor, and I found a so-called master outside to come here to diagnose the child, but fortunately, the family was not stupid, and they saw that he was just trying to cheat money, so they invited him away.

So at this time, the child's grandfather didn't have a good impression of this master.

In his opinion, if he wants to know about his family, he can just ask his neighbors, and it is not something to be surprised.

The old man put on a stinky face and asked,

"I don't know how much the master charges?"

The Taoist priest smiled,

"No money."

The woman glanced at her old man with disgust, and rolled her eyes.

"You go aside!"

Then he turned to the Taoist priest, "Master, you ignore him. ”

"It's okay, let's take a look at the kids first, right?"

"Ouch, good, good!" The woman replied in a loud voice, and then instructed her son, "Hurry up and help the master take off the burden!" ”

"Hey!" The man agreed, and stretched out his hand to help the Taoist priest take the burden.

"No, no." The Taoist priest shirked and took off the burden himself.

The man is stubborn and insists on helping to take over.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest no longer shirked, but said,

"It's heavy, be careful." As he spoke, the Taoist priest let go and followed the woman in.

"It's okay!" The man didn't care, thinking to himself that you can carry it so easily, how can it be heavy.

However, when the Taoist priest completely let go, the weight suddenly pressed on his hand, and he sank suddenly, almost didn't catch it, and didn't drop it until he carried it.

The man's father frowned as he looked behind him,

"It's useless!"

"Dad, then you try."

The old man rolled up his sleeves and was about to take over, and the man handed him the burden.

"Ouch! Bastard, you can't just tap? Do you want to stone your old man? The old man said angrily.

......

The priest followed the woman into a room.

There was a bed in it, and a young woman was sitting beside it, looking worriedly at the child on the bed.

The woman's eyes were red and her face was tired.

"Mom."

When she saw her come in, she said hello and stopped talking.

"Juan'er, you let the master show Xiaorou."

The woman was also very distressed when she saw her daughter-in-law every day, but it was difficult to persuade her, after all, she was her own flesh and blood who was pregnant for ten months, and even she was sad every day, chanting Buddha for her granddaughter and asking for peace.

"Master, I'm sorry for you."

The Taoist priest nodded and stepped forward.

He first reached out and touched Xiao Meng Yuerou's forehead, then took out her left hand, checked her pulse, and then gently pulled her closed eyelids and looked at her pupils.

He nodded, and shook his head again.

"Master, how's it going?" The woman asked eagerly.

The Taoist priest didn't speak, just frowned, got up and walked around the bed, looked around the room, and asked,

"Do you have any visions at night, child?"

"Yes I wake up crying every night at midnight."

The old Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully.

"What the hell is going on, Master?" The young woman was crying.

"Ouch, Juan'er, don't worry." The old woman hurriedly helped her.

"Don't worry, there are still solutions, but I can't try until the evening."

Hearing this, the young woman's body weakened, and she immediately burst into tears,

"Master, you must help my child!"

She's been tense for too long, too stressed.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, you have to pay attention to your body."

"Then please leave it to the master." The old woman hurriedly thanked her.

At this time, the child's father and grandfather also walked in, and when they heard the Taoist priest say that there was a way, they were also excited.

"Please!"

"Master, my old man was blind just now, don't care, as long as you save my granddaughter, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

"Alas, I don't dare to be." The old Taoist priest hurriedly shirked it, "I was just passing by here, since I met it by fate, I should solve it for you." ”

The woman, who was also considered a clever person, was not carried away, and immediately asked,

"The master hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

"Not yet."

"Alas, okay, I'm going to prepare dinner, I don't know if the master has any taboos?"

"It's okay to cook at home, and it's okay to drink and meat." After saying that, he smiled, "Hehe." ”

"Okay, you can rest first. Juan'er, you are here to accompany Xiaorou. The woman then instructed the two men at the door, "Don't be stunned, take the master to rest, don't forget to serve the tea, are they all wooden, do you still want me to order?" ”

"Oops, hey."

"Okay, well, master, please."

......

In the evening, the old woman prepared a sumptuous dinner for the Taoist priests, and even served home-brewed rice wine.

The old Taoist priest didn't see anything outside, he should eat and drink, and there was nothing taboo.

On the table, taking advantage of the slight wine, the old man asked the old man,

"Master, what did you say about my precious granddaughter?"

The Taoist priest put down his chopsticks, pondered for a while, and did not answer, but asked a question,

"Did this child have a vision when he was born?"

"Oops!" The Meng family was shocked.

"My granddaughter doesn't cry for a month after she is born, and she doesn't start crying until noon on the day of her full moon wine."

The old woman hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" ”

Lao Tao replied:

"I'm just guessing."

And then continue to tell the story,

"When I went to your door this evening, I found that your house was cloudy and faintly broke down, so I dared to knock on the door and inquire. I then look at your granddaughter's Yintang, pupils, pulses, and the various visions you mentioned, and I assume that she should be born with a yin body. ”

"Pubic body?"

"Yes, to put it bluntly, it's easy to see dirty things, it's easy to get dirty, and it's easier to be scared if it's a child."

"This ......" several people looked at each other.

The Meng family rarely believed in these gods and ghosts, even if they had heard of these stories, but they had never really seen them, until now, they had to believe them.

"In fact, it's not a big deal, children are naturally sensitive and easily frightened, and it is normal to encounter this kind of thing, especially newborn children, who are innate and far more sensitive than adults. But as you get older, that trace of innate qi will slowly disappear. It's just that your child's innate qi is far more than that of ordinary people. ”

"Is this good or bad?" The old man asked.

"It's definitely not a good thing, otherwise why would my daughter have to suffer like this." The young man replied immediately.

The old man glared at him,

Didn't ask you.

Lao Dao smiled,

"Blessings and misfortunes lie in ambush, and blessings rely on. Whether it's good or bad, you'll know when the child grows up. The only thing I know is that such a child will be more sensitive than the average child, so you should treat her well. ”

"Of course it will, my precious daughter, of course I have to spoil it."

The old man didn't glare at him this time, because this is a fact, although ordinary people think that it is good to have children, but the family takes her as a baby, and she is very spoiled.

"You don't have to spoil it, you have to care more."

"Yes, master, I will definitely train her well and cultivate her into a talent!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and there is no need to force things in the future, rather than asking her to become a talent, it is better to ask her to have a safe life." Lao Dao said slowly.

"Yes, yes, yes." The old man agreed with this sentence very much, "Come, master, I will toast you again." ”

The old man raised his glass to greet him and drank it all.

The young man wanted to refill his glass, but he refused,

"It's almost over tonight, and there's still business."

"Hey, okay, then I'll go get you some food."

"Thank you very much."

"It should."

......

midnight

Xiao Meng Yuerou woke up crying as usual.

"You wait outside, the door closes, and get me another glass of water." The old way commanded.

"Hey, okay."

"Please, Master."

Lao Dao nodded, stopped talking, and the rest of the people walked out of the house and closed the door.

He stood on the edge of the bed, looking at the little girl who was crying, nodding and shaking his head.

To tell the truth, such a child is hard to find, and he is a good seedling for cultivation.

But, after all, this is a girl, and there is such a good family atmosphere, of course Lao Dao will not propose to accept her as an apprentice, and the girl is not suitable for sleeping with her own food.

Besides, I don't have a lot of thoughts about accepting apprentices.

Unless this is a boy with a miserable family, then he may have a little idea of accepting apprentices.

But the premise is that there must be fate, and it can't be like this girl, who has fate but no points.

But Lao Dao hoped that he would never encounter such a thing, and he did not want to see anyone suffer, although he had seen too much suffering over the years.

It is precisely because of this that he does not want to see such a thing in his heart.

"Alas!"

sighed,

"I'm old, and I just think about some messy things."

He looked at the girl in front of him, moved a stool, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Well, don't cry."

Placing his right hand on her forehead, Lao Dao closed his eyes.

In fact, from the first time I saw her, Lao Dao had a feeling that it was a strange fetter, a kind of indescribable reason.

Simplifying, probably, is a word.

There is a fate, he has a fate with this child.

According to her birthday, Lao Dao's fingers kept pinching, as if he was calculating something.

Calculating, his hand suddenly trembled, and his brows furrowed,

"This!"

The hand still didn't stop, and kept counting.

He calculated that this child may have another difficulty in the future, a great difficulty, a great difficulty of life and death.

However, it seems that there is still a turning point!

His brow loosened and his eyes opened.

"It's okay, it's okay."

However, whether he can get that turnaround, he can't say.

"Child, I can only solve your current predicament, and I hope you can be safe and smooth in the future."

......

Outside the door, the Meng family was waiting anxiously, and it didn't take long for them to hear the crying of the children in the house gradually stopping.

Then, the door was pushed open, and Lao Dao wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out.

"How's it going, Master?"

"It's okay."

"Ouch, thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The Meng family kept thanking him.

"Go in and have a look, but don't disturb the children."

"Hey, yes, yes!"

Little Meng Yuerou's mother and grandmother hurriedly walked in, only to see the child sleeping quietly on the bed, and their eyes were full of joy.

He took the water from the man's hand and drank it in a big gulp.

"Slow down, it's not enough." As he spoke, the man stood on tiptoe and looked into the room.

Lao Dao waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and asked him to go in and have a look.

The old man had a cigarette gun in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to go in with his son.

"Master, come out and sit down for a while."

Lao Dao walked out, put the bowl down, and then walked to his baggage, and searched for something inside.

It was a quaint jade pendant, hung with a red rope.

Give the things to the old man, and the old man will explain,

"Just in case, put this on for the child, don't take it off again, and there should be no problems in the future."

"Hey, thank you, Master!" The old man took it solemnly, his heart full of gratitude.

"Well, do you have any room in your house, I need a night's rest."

"Yes, yes, yes! This way, please! ”

The old man led the way, and the old man followed with his baggage.

came to the guest bedroom and settled down the old man, and the old man thanked again,

"Thank you, Master, tonight."

Thinking of his villainous heart at the beginning, the old man felt very guilty.

"You're welcome, this is as it should be, I have a relationship with this child."

"I would venture to ask, where did the master come from and where is he going?"

"I have been studying in Longhu Mountain for decades, and I don't know where I am going."

"But the Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"You've been traveling for decades, where do you live, master?"

"Whatever it takes."

"Little old man, I admire you, so haven't you gone back for decades?"

"No, I didn't."

"Hey, since you don't know where to go, why don't you stay at my house for a few more days?"

Lao Dao smiled and did not speak.

See this,

"Then I won't bother you much."

The old man was about to go out to let him rest, and then he thought of one more thing,

"By the way, I don't know what to call you?"

"Xiaoyaozi."

"Xiaoyaozi? You know, you have a good rest. "The old man went out.

Lao Dao sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about the old man's words just now, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

yes, I haven't been back in decades.

Perhaps, after this journey, or, in a few years, it is time to go back and see.

......

Early the next morning,

The Meng family was overjoyed to find that the child's low-grade fever had subsided.

The old man wanted to call Lao Dao for breakfast, but he knocked on the door and was not answered, and when he pushed the door in, he found that it was empty.

The Taoist priest named Xiaoyaozi,

Nowhere to be seen.

......
