Chapter 182: Aunt in charge
Although Granny Wu and the blind man are in the same village, but the situation of Granny Wu's house is much better than that of the blind man's house, it is a separate small courtyard, although the yard is also small and pitiful, but in this dense and breathless house array, this small courtyard is also a rare open space, and there is an old locust tree planted in the yard, which is even more rare, and now in the city, there can be a tree of your own, planted on the ground, which is really not something that ordinary people can have.
According to Brother Yao, this Granny Wu's ability to go to the yin is a family heirloom, and even the small courtyard is left by the ancestors, it is said that from the Ming Dynasty, their family lived in this place, although in the turbulent years, they were forced to leave several times, but later through various ways, they returned to live in this place.
The ability to walk in the yin can only be inherited by the girl, but this girl who walks in the yin will not be married in her life, and she must be complete until she dies, otherwise this family will be tantamount to breaking the agreement with the underworld, and the whole family will suffer a huge disaster.
But what kind of disaster it will be, Brother Yao said that he doesn't know.
Don't because this errand can only be done by unmarried women, their skills must be passed on to outsiders, the Wu family has its own way, and when each generation of Yin mother-in-law is old, she must choose an heir among her nieces.
In other words, in this family, girls are responsible for inheriting skills, and men are responsible for giving birth to girls, so as to ensure that the skills of walking yin have been passed on among the descendants of the Wu family, which has been the key to the continuation of this family in the past few hundred years.
In the early years, in the Wu family, the status of the aunt in charge was very noble, and she basically had the absolute right to speak in this family, living in the middle of the family, while the other brothers and nephews lived next to it.
It's just that in modern society, there are more ways to make money, and most of the children in the family have their own careers, no longer relying on their mother-in-law, and the status of the aunt in charge has begun to decline step by step.
Later, even several surrounding houses were sold out one after another, and now there is only the small courtyard where the aunt lives in charge.
In this generation, there are no girls who are willing to inherit the position of mother-in-law, and some even go abroad to study in college, and then they don't come back.
It is said that in the past, there were four or five or even a dozen alternative little girls waiting for her aunt, but now there is only one mute girl by the side of this Granny Wu.
The mute girl is indeed Granny Wu's own niece, but the girl's father is dead, and her mother has remarried and already has a family, so she doesn't want to care about her anymore, she has nowhere to go, and she can only come to serve the mother-in-law.
Thinking about the rise and fall of this family over the centuries, it is enough to write a book, Brother Yao has been telling me all the way, and when I arrived at Granny Wu's house, Brother Yao still looked a little unpleasant.
Because Brother Yao called Granny Wu in advance, when we arrived at Granny Wu's house, she even prepared meals for us.
Granny Wu beckoned us into the house, and then the mute girl began to clean up the meal.
The mute girl had her head half-bowed, her long hair covering most of her face, and she seemed to have a dark face.
I was curious, and I couldn't help but stare at the girl twice.
Brother Yao hurriedly patted me and said, "It's a little polite, you're so rude." ”
I was stunned, and then the girl also happened to look up at me, and I saw clearly that there was a big blue-black birthmark on the girl's face.
Think about this girl is really miserable enough, her father died and her mother got married, and she became a baby that no one cared about, and she not only had a dumb face but also grew like this, some people are really destined to experience more tribulations than others from the time they were born.
Seeing the girl's face like this, I was extremely embarrassed for a while, and now I continue to stare at it, and I don't turn my head immediately, I want to explain that I didn't mean it just now, but I feel that I can only explain more and more embarrassed.
Luckily, the girl didn't mind, and smiled at me to show that she didn't care, and then went to the kitchen to serve the food.
During the meal, I briefly described my problem to Granny Wu, and when Granny Wu heard me say that I had killed Niu Tou Ma Mian, she obviously frowned, and it seemed that she also felt that this matter was not easy to solve.
I looked at Granny Wu worriedly, but fortunately Granny Wu didn't refuse, but just said: "My wife, I am a messenger in the Yin and Yang worlds, I don't have any great ability, and I don't have any face in the underworld, I can only say that I can go down to ask you about this, but what exactly does the person mean, what conditions are to be offered, and how you bargain in the future, you still need to decide for yourself, I am just responsible for passing on a word." ”
As soon as I heard this, my heart was half cold again, how is this different from what Brother Yao said, I feel that according to Brother Yao, it should be that after finding this Granny Wu, my matter will be done.
But it's already here.,I can only be a live horse doctor.,Anyway, it's a hope.,Or can't I let the city god show me a horror movie every night.,In case one day I'm confused.,It's estimated that the horror scene can become real.,It's my life.。
I said to Granny Wu: "Then you can help me ask first, I also know that this matter is more troublesome and not so easy to solve, and please help me with more trouble." ”
Granny Wu said: "This is natural, I will either not accept your affairs, as long as I do, I will definitely do my best to deal with this matter clearly for you, our ancestral craftsmanship, hundreds of years of signboards, will definitely not fool people."
But young man, there is one thing, I need to make it clear to you in advance, the price of my Yin, Xiao Yao should have told you, it is 1,000 yuan. However, this 1,000 yuan does not mean that you have solved this matter, a total of 1,000 yuan, it is a trip to send a letter and a message, and it takes 1,000 yuan.
If it's a trivial matter, it should be solved by two or three trips back and forth, but you may need to make a few more trips to this matter.
But don't worry, every time I go back and forth, I will completely repeat the words on both sides, which is not much worse than a tape recorder, and it will also give you enough time to think about how to talk to the next step, and I will definitely not deliberately delay, keep running back and forth, and let you spend more money. ”
I said in my heart: Anyway, we can't follow you, who knows if you will deliberately play tricks and run a few more times, after all, a thousand yuan a trip.
But this is just a complaint in my heart, I definitely don't dare to say it directly, I can only blame myself, who let me get into trouble, who let me kill other people's ghosts, who let me baba come to ask people for help.
So I immediately straightened my attitude and said to Granny Wu: "Mother-in-law, you are laughing, I came to you naturally to trust you, after all, you have walked down many times, and you know more about the things below, I have something to think of in a while, and I have to rely on my mother-in-law to mention it." ”
Granny Wu was naturally happy to hear me say this, nodded and smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's discuss it well in the afternoon, and see how it is more appropriate to talk to the following, and as soon as it gets dark tonight, I'll go down to help you ask." ”
After eating, the mute girl cleaned up the table, and Brother Yao also went over to help, but the mute girl was not polite to him, and even I felt that the two of them had a tacit understanding of cleaning up together.
was cleaning up, there was a knock on the door outside, and the mute girl was just about to open the door, Brother Yao wiped his hands and said, "I'll go, maybe I'm also looking for my mother-in-law to watch things." ”
The mute girl smiled in agreement, and Brother Yao went out.
I feel that Brother Yao and this Granny Wu and the mute girl are not generally familiar, and those who don't know think they are a family. When this matter is over, I must ask Brother Yao, what is the relationship with this Wu family?
The courtyard is not big, and the sound of talking at the door can be heard in the house, it should be a woman, and Brother Yao seems to have quarreled with the woman at the door.
The mute girl hurriedly put down the work in her hand, ran over to look, and then quickly entered the courtyard with Brother Yao and a middle-aged woman.
As soon as I looked at this middle-aged woman, I knew why they were arguing just now, this woman was none other than the aunt we saw in front of the blind man's hexagram stall.
At that time, Wan Peng spoke to her so politely, she thought that she had a grudge, and Brother Yao was not a master who was willing to suffer, so the two of them must have quarreled.
The mute girl couldn't even speak, so she actually went out and persuaded the two of them in, and I don't know how she persuaded her, but looking at the appearance of Brother Yao and the aunt, the two of them only temporarily turned off the fire, and they still didn't like each other.
I subconsciously wanted to see what Wan Peng's expression was now, and when I looked up, I found that Wan Peng didn't look at the aunt at all, but from the time the aunt entered the yard, he kept staring at the aunt's shadow, and I also looked at the aunt's shadow, and this time I didn't see anything abnormal, the turtle without a shell didn't follow her.
Naturally, my aunt didn't plan to deal with me and Wan Peng, so she went directly to Granny Wu and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm from out of town, and I've heard of your name for a long time, so when something happens, I immediately think of coming to you, and you must help me with this." ”
I secretly said in my heart: You are really quick to change your words, in the morning, we met you, you also said that you came all the way to find the blind man, and wanted to ask the blind man for help, and said that he ran to the blind man's hexagram stall several times and did not find anyone, and asked around about the blind man's residence, only a few hours, and it became a special run for Granny Wu, you are really good at talking.
Granny Wu is probably used to hearing this, and she didn't say much at the moment, but said calmly: "What happened to you, let's hear it first, I'm just a yin, whether your matter can be solved depends on whether we have fate." ”
