Chapter 16 The Ostomy Industry
She swore by it, but everyone else also saw it, who didn't know that she deliberately ruined the reputation of the Wei sisters, but listening to the gossip, they were happy to watch the fun.
Everyone in the village knows the name of Wei Erhua, but Wei Erhua just took the child back to live in her mother-in-law's house for a few days, and Zhang and the family began to sit at the door and play with right and wrong.
Wei Jin ignored her during the day, and after closing the stall in the evening, he opened the door and began to teach Dabao Sihuaer to read and write. She didn't teach them a subset of scriptures and histories at will, but just told the fables she knew as stories to her younger siblings in a different way, and on this day she deliberately told a long-tongued woman to tell right and wrong, which angered the people she framed, and they directly sued the city god, and the long-tongued woman was detained by the city god that night and her soul was tried.
"In the eighteen levels of hell there is the hell of pulling out the tongue. Those who tell right and wrong in the sun, defile people's innocence, flamboyate their tongues, argue skillfully, and lie and deceive others will be punished in this hell. The ghost officials broke open the mouth of the guilty ghost, clamped the man's tongue with such large pliers, and pulled it out forcefully, but they could not be pulled out at once, but they had to be pulled slowly, inch by inch, so that the ghost could feel the pain of the tongue being pulled. ”
Wei Jin said it vividly, and even made a gesture, and the direction was just towards Zhang Dajia. But she was sitting in her yard and talking, even if everyone wanted to spill, it was impossible for everyone to rush into someone's house and cry.
Besides, when Wei Jin told this story, his voice was loud, and the surrounding neighbors heard it clearly. Although there are few who echo Zhang's family, they dare not say that they are not playing with other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs. That night, the whole village was much quieter.
It's strange that from the second day, something was wrong with Zhang's mother-in-law. At first, she had blisters on both sides of her tongue, and it hurt to talk and eat, and then her tongue couldn't be retracted, and it drooped out day by day.
"Third sister, was that Zhang really sentenced to hell with tongue pulling?" Dabao and Sihua'er were frightened, and they didn't look right at everyone's eyes.
In fact, don't talk about the two of them, why don't other people guess so in their hearts, otherwise why did the Wei family's Sanhuaer just say this the day before, and the next day, there was a problem with everyone's tongue? Even the village chief began to suspect that this was really the work of ghosts and gods, and repeatedly warned the female relatives in the family at home not to slander people's innocence behind their backs. Look at that picture of everyone, isn't it a living example?
Zhang's men didn't care at first, but after seeing too much of the eyes of others, he also drummed in his heart. Who is his mother-in-law, he still doesn't know? There are many times when the Taoist behind him talks nonsense, but he said that such a thing happened to Sanhuaer of the Wei family, and he thought about the sins that his stupid son had done to Sanhuaer of the Wei family, and he was terrified, so he borrowed the donkey of the village chief's family early in the morning, and took the donkey cart to the town with his mother-in-law.
There is a pharmacy in the town, and there is Langzhong sitting in the hall. He still felt that his mother-in-law should be sick, otherwise if he was really punished by the ghosts and gods, wouldn't it mean that the people of their family were vicious? When this spread, he and his family were ridiculed and didn't get in the way, but they were afraid that the family affairs of the sons and daughters below would be finished.
However, when he arrived in the town, Lang Zhong of the Rejuvenation Hall shook his head when he saw it, saying that it was not a disease, it was an invasion of evil qi, and asked him to bring people back or go to the temple to worship.
Hearing Lang Zhong's words, Zhang's men were dizzy and almost didn't stand firm. And his mother-in-law was so frightened that her eyes rolled and she was about to faint.
"Eh, come and help someone." Lang Zhong was also taken aback, and didn't understand why the two of them suddenly fainted together, "What's going on?" ”
The matter of the Zhang family has actually been quietly spread by others, and even the fact that they went to the town to see a doctor today was watched behind their backs. At this time, I saw that Lang Zhong said that it was not a disease, but did he confirm what Wei Sanhuaer said?
It didn't take long for the word of tongue pulling hell to spread all over the town, and those three aunts and six women didn't dare to say more, so they talked directly with their eyes.
Zhang everyone's steady mind suddenly remembered what Wei Jin said about the city god master, he turned his head and pulled his mother-in-law to the city god temple at the crossing outside the town. If the town god doesn't do anything, he also plans to go to the county town god to beg for mercy.
Coincidentally, when I arrived at the gate of the City God Temple, an old Taoist happened to rest there, and when I saw his two movements, I squinted and stared for a while, and went up to talk.
"Your lady is welcoming the wind and evil into her body, it is useless to only worship the city god, and you still need to apply needles and bloodletting to heal." Lao Dao smiled and looked at the mouth of the mother-in-law for a while, "I'll give her a needle first, if it's useful, continue, if it's useless, I'll pay you ten cents." ”
Zhang Da glanced at his mother-in-law, then at Lao Dao, and agreed.
Lao Dao didn't know where to find a few needles, pierced into the corresponding acupoints, after a while, two strands of dirty blood flowed out from the root of the tongue, he took the needle and asked Zhang's mother-in-law to use water to drain her mouth, and then found that the tongue retracted a little.
Zhang Da and his wife hurriedly knelt down and begged Lao Dao to give a needle, but Lao Dao began to talk about the reward.
Lao Dao asked for no more money, no less, so he was stuck on Zhang Da's psychological bottom line, and he was afraid that he would have to give up saving his wife if he had any more money.
"Your lady has created a tongue and tongue, causing the wind to enter the body. Although I saved her today, if I commit it again, the gods will not be able to save her. ”
Lao Dao gave the needle and prescribed medicine, and Zhang's mother-in-law quickly took her tongue back, but the ulcers on both sides of the tongue took a little time to heal, and medicine was also needed to see the effect.
When Zhang Da pulled his mother-in-law home, he saw a lot of people greeting him on the road, and when he saw that Zhang's mother-in-law's tongue had been retracted, he asked a little suspiciously what was going on.
Zhang Tiantian will not say that his mother-in-law is bad, only that she is sick, and it has nothing to do with the three flowers of the Wei family.
But he said that it was irrelevant, but when he returned home, he closed the door and beat his son, and he was not allowed to provoke the Wei sisters again.
The neighbor next door to his house listened to it and turned around and spread the words of Zhang Da to teach his son.
"You are still preaching this, and you are not afraid of being punished." Someone warned him in fear, but he was retorted back.
"Where is my ostomy, Zhang's mother-in-law's mouth stinks, I just confirmed that what she did was retributed, and I didn't wronged her."
That being said, since then, there has been a lot less of chewing on people's tongues behind people's backs in the village.
Wei Jin was asked by Sihua'er at night if everyone Zhang really suffered retribution, and she smiled: "Where is retribution." She stands at the tuyere and talks to people during the day, and she always rubs her cheeks unconsciously these days, for fear that something will be wrong for a long time. In fact, she was just affected by the wind evil, and then she was afraid and couldn't sleep at night, resulting in facial paralysis. If there is a good doctor, a few needles will be fine, but you will have to eat some bitter medicine to get rid of the fire. ”
After listening to Wei Jin's words, Sihua'er was stunned for a moment, and then hid in the quilt to eat and bent over with a smile.
