Chapter 13 Granny Tang
It's not the same as the goddess I imagined, I thought that the goddess was like the half-immortal, with a hideous face and squinting eyes, this soup woman has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and she is a very kind person at first glance.
As soon as she came in, she came to the child's side and stroked the child's head with her hand: "It's scared, it's not too serious, don't worry too much, it's okay to call it back to its senses." ”
She instructed the family to prepare incense and candles according to her request, as well as the most commonly used dishes and chopsticks for the child's meal, as well as half a bowl of raw rice, and the clothes that the child often wears.
She placed a table in the room due north, and the mother of the child knelt at the table with the child in her arms.
She lit incense candles, poured half a bowl of raw rice into the bowl that the child usually used, and stood upright with chopsticks. She muttered for a while, and when the incense burned out, the child's mother stood at the table with the child in her arms, and the child's father stood at the door with the child's usual clothes.
The child's mother shouted as she instructed: "Are you back? ”
The child's father said in the back: "It's back." After shouting three times, the child's father took the clothes and put them on the child, saying that the child's soul had basically returned to its place. I was a little skeptical, but after doing so, the child in front of me did not fall asleep, and woke up, but kept crying.
I don't think the ceremony is over yet, and Granny Tang said that the child's soul is in place, but it is not very secure.
The next thing is very simple, put the bowl and rice with half a bowl of raw rice in a pot and cook it, and then the mother uses the pair of chopsticks inserted to eat the half bowl of rice for the child.
The whole ceremony ended in almost 1 hour, and the child really didn't cry or make a fuss after eating the last bite of rice and returned to normal, I couldn't help but sigh, it really had an effect, and I don't know what the principle was.
After the child was healed, my roommate's family gave Granny Tang a red envelope, and the amount depended on her heart. They were about to send Granny Tang home, but Granny Tang suddenly looked at me and said, "I want to have a cup of tea here and rest for a while, and I want to talk to the girl alone if I have something to say." ”
I sat next to Granny Tang, and Granny Tang didn't feel like a goddess to me, but like a kind old grandmother, and I don't know why I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity around her.
She looked at me and said that from the moment she entered the door, she could see that I was different, and she said that I could perceive things that ordinary people could not reach, and I was more powerful than her.
Granny Tang told me some things about her family, and said a lot, but I didn't expect Granny Tang's life to be so hard. I thought she would get paid well for doing this, and she told me that she didn't really care about these things, it didn't matter if she was more or less in mind, she just wanted to be able to help people in need with her own abilities.
It's just that she said that she not only helps to summon spirits, but sometimes she will also help people find ways to get bad luck, or help them avoid disasters, but sometimes she is against the sky, but after a long time, she has caused trouble for herself, she thought that she would retribution on herself, and she even made preparations for a short life, but she didn't expect that retribution would come to her family.
Her husband was short-lived and had two sons, one born with dementia and the other with a disability.
I felt a little uncomfortable and unbearable to hear it, and Granny Tang comforted me and said that this was probably her fate. She told me that I also have my own destiny, a natural destiny that I can't avoid, and she told me that I am about to face many unknown dangers.
Granny Tang finally told me that we were fated, and she said that she knew that she would have a hurdle in the near future, and that I might be the only one who could save her, and that we would meet again.
I didn't think much about it at the time, but I didn't expect that the so-called calamity she called turned out to be related to evil spirits, and it could be regarded as what she said, this is the relationship between me and Granny Tang before. "I finished talking about Granny Tang in one breath.
Ji Ran exclaimed: "In this way, this Tang mother-in-law really has two hits. ”
"It's not too early, you've finished talking about Granny Tang, we should all rest, Ji Ran, let's go back first." Zhou Xuran gave me an eviction order.
"I don't think she's too sleepy now, so let's stop talking."
"I'll have time to talk in the future, it's so late today." Zhou Xuran was still quite dignified, and Ji Ran reluctantly got up with him and prepared to leave.
"By the way, tomorrow we will leave at noon, you can sleep more." I looked at Zhou Xuran very gratefully.
Ji Ran snorted coldly: "It's really lazy, I can eat and sleep, and I sleep horribly." "I don't bother to talk to him.
Zhou Xuran was a little surprised: "When did the two of you become so familiar." ”
"Yesterday."
"I don't know him well."
Ji Ran and I answered this question very tacitly.
Zhou Xuran looked helpless about this.
"Zhou Xuran, can you wait a while before leaving, there is something I want to tell you alone."
"If you have anything to say alone, you can't say it in front of me, is there something unsightly, a lonely man and a widow at night, don't you want to do Zhou Xuran." Ji Ran was not ashamed of what he said, which made me blush.
"Ji Ran, if you give you a good face, you don't know what your surname is, I'm that kind of person." I was not polite at all, and kicked Ji Ran out of the door with one kick, and Ji Ran nagged: "I don't want to listen to it yet." He was a little petty and closed the door vigorously.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly."
"It's about the compass, I want to give it to Ji Ran." Zhou Xuran didn't say anything, and he didn't seem surprised to look at my expression.
"The compass is in my hands, I can't play its value, I think it's a pity, when I was messing with that evil breath today, I saw Ji Ran manipulating the compass, I suddenly felt that this compass was the Ji family's thing, it belonged to Ji Ran, and this time the matter of the baby corpse island, I think Ji Ran is not as foolish as he seems, in fact, he is a reliable person."
"You just think about it clearly, when Master Fang handed it over to you, he said that you can dispose of it freely."
"I thought you wouldn't agree, and I thought that Ji Ran and I would blame us for being too reckless."
"Not really, it's much better for you to take the initiative than to wait. The attitude is worthy of praise, and today it seems that Ji Ran is really like Uncle Fang said, and he still has a sense of responsibility at a critical time. "Send Zhou Xuran away, I think it's no further ado, I'll give the compass to Ji Ran tomorrow, and it will be considered to be returned to the original owner.
This night, I slept in the dark, and I have to admit that I have slept more than others since I was a child. I've been so tired in the past two days, and I feel like I have to make up for it.
I had no dreams all night, I set an alarm clock at nine o'clock in the morning, because Ji Ran said that the morning tea here was delicious, and I made an appointment to have morning tea together, but my sleep quality was so good, I didn't hear the alarm clock properly, and I slept until 11 o'clock and woke up naturally, I admired myself a little.
Refreshed, I packed myself and my things, thinking that I would leave in a moment. After cleaning up, I felt hungry and I was going to find something to eat.
Before I could get to the front desk, I saw Ji Ran's mother sitting in the hall, I didn't believe she was waiting for me, but the truth was that she was waiting for me.
As soon as she saw me, she came over enthusiastically, and I had to go to see her very politely, Ji Ran's mother held me very familiarly: "Yinglin, how did you sleep last night, are you not used to it, yesterday she was called Miss Yang, and today is Yinglin." "Her kindness burdened me a little, and I was a little embarrassed, after all, I got up so late, if she was really waiting for me, it seemed a little rude.
"Mrs. Ji, there's nothing I'm not used to, I slept well last night."
"That's good, I'm afraid you don't like the grade of this county hotel is not enough."
"No, no, it's already good, thank you, Mrs. Ji."
"Yinglin, why do you still call me Mrs. Ji, so outside, you can call me aunt first." Ji Ran's mother's tone was still a little disgusted: "Yinglin, you must be hungry, you didn't come to the morning tea we had together in the morning, I think you have worked hard in the past two days, so I want you to sleep more and don't let Ji Ran disturb you." Don't look at the lower grade of this hotel, the morning tea is delicious, I don't know what you like to eat, Ji Ran's child is also careless, so I left some for you, try it, and when you go back here, Auntie will treat you well. "Ji Ran's mother's excessive enthusiasm made me a little unbearable to refuse.
I obediently followed her to the morning tea room, and she booked a private room. We went in and the waiter started to go early. Shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, quicksand buns, steamed pork ribs, duck blood, a big table is full.
"I don't know what you like to eat, just ask for a little bit of everything, taste it, and we'll add what you like, and you're not welcome in front of your aunt." Looking at this large table, I felt a little wasteful, and I was full in one bite.
"Auntie, let's eat together."
"We're all done, you can just eat, this kid doesn't have to be embarrassed." Ji Ran's mother sat on the side and looked at me with a smile, I couldn't eat openly like usual, I could only taste it and eat very reservedly.
"Much stronger than our Ji Ran, not picky eater, able to sleep and eat, blessed." I almost choked after hearing this.
After we finished breakfast, Ji Ran's mother held me all the way, and was very kind to take me to the nearby scenic spots, fortunately Zhou Xuran and they appeared at this time, and Zhou Xuran saw my cautious look: "Have you packed up your things, we will leave for the return trip in a while." "I thank Zhou Xuran for helping me out of the siege, and I finally got rid of my kind mother Ji by packing up my things. Quickly took his luggage and prepared to leave here with Zhou Xuran.
When Zhou Xuran and I left, the battle to see them off was still quite big, not only Ji Ran's parents and the director of the electronic product, but even the leaders of the local government also came, as if Zhou Xuran would jointly develop new projects with them.
I feel that Zhou Xuran is doing both exorcism and business, without delaying anything, very strong.
Before I got in the car, Ji Ran's mother ordered someone to take a large bag of things and put them in the trunk, and specially stepped forward to say that it was specially for me, some specialties or something. even exaggerated and asked Ji Ran to say goodbye to me, and specially instructed him to go to his house as a guest when he went back. Zhou Xuran, who was next to me, looked at us with some suspicion.
Ji Ran was pushed forward by her mother and was a little reluctant: "I didn't have to give you up, what is there to give, this is what my mother meant, it's really annoying." Ji Ran's mother nudged him: "This child is duplicitous, go back to meet more often, understand more, get along more and cultivate feelings." I think Yinglin is very good, quiet, obedient and sensible, better than the previous ones, your uncle's vision will not be wrong. After her mother had finished speaking, I finally seemed to understand something, but I didn't know how to explain it.
