Chapter 545: Finding a Wife
When a fisherman was collecting his net, he caught a strange golden carp, which whimpered like a bullied girl, and the fisherman did not think much of it, but took it to the market and sold it, and bought it for a good price to a servant.
The servant was an errand boy in the house of Yao Shanren, a well-known local man, and he brought the carp back to the house and handed it to the cook, who prepared to kill the fish.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the cook put the fish on the cutting board, the fish suddenly jumped up and down violently, accompanied by a cry.
The cook was startled, picked up the blade and slapped the fish's head hard, but the fish stopped jumping, but tears flowed from its eyes, and the tears suddenly turned into blood.
The cook didn't dare to do it anymore, so she ran to ask the housekeeper, and when the housekeeper heard this strange thing, he felt very strange, so he ran to ask the lady in the house.
The young lady had no idea, and the old lady was very superstitious, thinking that this fish was probably the incarnation of a fairy, so she ordered her subordinates to release the fish quickly, and the subordinates complied.
Many years later, the old lady and Yao Shanren passed away one after another, and the Yao family passed down three generations, leaving only one man, Yao Shanren's son Yao Fu.
Losing the pillar of Yao Shanren, the Yao family gradually fell into the middle of the family, so they had to dismiss the family servants and become ordinary civilians.
In order to make ends meet, Mrs. Yao opened a small shop and went to embroider clothes for people. Yao Fu devoted himself to reading the books of sages, hoping that one day he would be able to become an official and glorify his ancestors.
One day, Mrs. Yao was busy working in the store, and suddenly a dirty girl ran in, saying that she had been deceived into marriage and ran away, and begged Mrs. Yao to take her in.
Seeing that she was very pitiful, Mrs. Yao agreed to take her in for a few days.
After the girl washed her face and changed her clothes, she looked really Peugeot.
The girl stayed in the shop, and helped Mrs. Yao sew and mend every day, very skillful, very delicate workmanship, and very active housework, and was praised by Mrs. Yao again and again.
In other words, Yao Fu heard from his mother that he had taken in a woman who had escaped from marriage, and he felt that it was very inappropriate, and he wanted to talk to his mother and send the girl back.
As soon as he arrived at the store, Yao Fu just wanted to talk to his mother, but he saw the girl praised by his mother, which surprised him, there is such a beauty in the world!
When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, just looked at the girl stupidly.
Mrs. Yao asked him what was the matter, he came back to his senses, and the conversation changed, and he talked about his trip to Wangcheng this year to join the company, and the day was not far away.
Mrs. Yao held her son's hand, sighed a few words, and told him to go to work with peace of mind.
The girl also told him not to worry, she would take care of Mrs. Yao. Yao Fu thanked him, secretly happy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yao suddenly became seriously ill, and five days passed, and she was still bedridden.
Yao Fu was in a hurry, he had to leave for Wangcheng in two days, but his mother fell ill.
He invited several doctors, all of whom said that he was unable to return to heaven and asked him to prepare the coffin.
Yao Fu was furious, and after blasting people away, he went to ask for another doctor.
The girl had been standing in front of Mrs. Yao's bed, her eyes were swollen from crying, and Yao Fu saw it in her eyes and didn't say anything.
On the morning of the sixth day, Mrs. Yao actually got up on her own, and she was in good spirits, not at all like a patient who had been lying down for five days.
Yao Fu cried with joy and threw himself in front of his mother, Mrs. Yao helped him up with a smile and told him to hurry up and prepare his luggage and go to Wangcheng tomorrow to join the job.
Yao Fu nodded and looked at the girl on the side, she seemed to be very haggard.
Yao Fu told her to take care of her mother, and when she returned from her employment, she would thank her heavily, and the girl nodded and agreed.
The next day, Yao Fu reluctantly bid farewell to his mother, and handed over a piece of jade pendant to the girl, saying that she was to keep it temporarily, and then rode away.
When Yao Fu happily returned from his employment, as soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on a chair doing laundry, and he disappeared the girl he had been thinking about for a long time.
Yao Fu asked her where she went, and the mother looked at her son happily, and suddenly her face darkened, and she turned around and went to the room to get something out, which was the jade pendant that Yao Fu gave to the girl.
Mrs. Yao sighed and said, "What a good girl who knows how to repay her kindness." Then he told his son about the girl.
It turned out that the girl was none other than the carp that had been released by the old lady many years ago.
She knew that the Yao family was backward, so she wanted to take care of Mrs. Yao.
And in order to save Mrs. Yao's life, she took a hundred years of practice, and now I don't know which river she is recuperating in.
Xun Xin used to be a person who did not believe in superstition, but there were some stories that happened around him that could not be explained.
In the book, it is said that after death, the cells die, there are no seven souls and six spirits, and there are no ghosts to hook people, but in their village, Xun Xin saw a family angry with ghosts and lost their lives, which changed his previous opinion.
Xunxin Village is all self-built houses, each family builds their own houses, and the second uncle Lei's family, which is less than 200 meters away from their house, also builds their own houses.
A few years ago, Second Uncle Lei traveled outside the north and south, and he made a lot of money outside, and the people in the village praised him for his ability and was a well-known figure in the village, but the people in the village didn't know that he was doing a poisonous snake business outside.
However, the house where Uncle Lei's father and his wife lived in his hometown was dilapidated and messy, with openings in some places and leaking water on rainy days.
One year, Second Uncle Lei wanted to improve his family's housing conditions and build a new house. The money for building a house is enough for Second Uncle Lei, and the manpower has been found, so he needs to find a piece of land suitable for building a house.
In the case of their family's discussion, they chose the farmland next to their old house, this piece of land is surrounded by woods on both sides, there are backers behind it, there is a flat river in front, the line of sight is extremely broad, and the middle is a good place to build a house, he is building a house here, Second Uncle Lei never thought that he was fighting for land with the souls of the dead.
He got the men to start the work, and the ground was flat, soft, and the foundation was excellent.
Suddenly, a villager exclaimed, "Ah, I dug up a piece of wood, what is this?"
As soon as he shouted, everyone ran over, some said it was ebony, some said it was nanmu, and everyone said it was a baby.
Second Uncle Lei ran over: "Quick, put it aside, see what it is, maybe I sent it." He laughed as he spoke.
Putting aside the soil, everyone was taken aback, a swarthy coffin appeared in front of the villagers, everyone thought it was not a good sign, and the legs of the people digging the coffin were still trembling.
When everyone didn't know what to do, Second Uncle Lei stood up and said: "He doesn't know how many years he has been dead, there are ghosts and lonely ghosts, don't be afraid, move it, everyone continue to dig." ”
When the villagers heard these words, they collected the money again, and had no choice but to continue digging.
At this time, the old man in the village hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Everyone, stop and don't dig, people have been lying here for many years, and digging will be punished." ”
The villagers were still a little scared when they heard the older people say this.
Second Uncle Lei insisted, but the old man couldn't resist him, and the old man said: "Xiao Lei, don't blame me for not reminding you, since you want to dig, go find Yun Dazhi in the next village, and let them come over to spend their souls and avoid evil." ”
Second Uncle Lei was half awake and suspicious, but he still went.
Yun Dazhi is a well-known Taoist priest, who wants to see the land, build a house, or exorcise demons, all look for him.
Yun Dazhi set up the altar, spread the yellow cloth on the table, there were three incense sticks in the incense burner on the table, there was a bowl of rooster blood next to it, there was a ruler, and there were some things Xun Xin didn't know.
Yun Dazhi put on a yellow robe and began to walk, shouting to the sky for a while, kneeling on the ground and praying for a while, walking like a dance, according to him, it was an immortal step, and his mouth was chanting some unintelligible eulogies.
Soon, some of the processes in front of him were completed, and when it came to the last step, Yun Dazhi closed his eyes: "Come, come, Lei Clan, please kneel down and please leave the undead." ”
Saying that, Yun Dazhi went to pull Second Uncle Lei, and Second Uncle Lei pushed his hand away, because he didn't believe in these ghosts and gods.
"I wouldn't kneel to him, and if the old man hadn't asked me to invite you, I wouldn't have done these things. "Second Uncle Lei was a little angry.
Second Uncle Lei asked Yun Dazhi to stop, saying that it was almost done before, and it should be okay, Yun Dazhi shook his head and stopped, took off his robe, put away his props, and left in a hurry.
Second Uncle Lei instructed the villagers to continue digging, and after a while, the coffin was dug up, and he asked the villagers to carry the coffin to a ravine on the other side of the woods and put it, leaving him alone.
Soon, Uncle Lei's house was built, the outside was brushed with lime, and it was exceptionally white against the background of the yellow earth, it looked like a small villa from a distance, and it was so tall up close, and it was one of the best houses in the village.
Yun Da shook his head when he walked straight, he didn't know anything about this stinky half-immortal, and now I am double happy. "After Second Uncle Yun built the house, Second Uncle Lei always said this in front of others.
It turned out that his wife was pregnant and had a child, and he was going to move into a new home in a few days, which was really a double happiness.
Second Uncle Lei moved lively, and after moving, Second Uncle Zhang went to other places to do his old job.
Soon after, a news reached the village, Second Uncle Lei was bitten in a snake catch, hit a huge poison, and when fleeing, he passed a cliff and accidentally fell into the cliff, and when he finally found the body, he was confirmed dead.
When the news reached the village, everyone knew that Second Uncle Lei had been doing his job all these years.
