Chapter 15 Saffron Clothes
Old man Liu recalled carefully for a long time, and then sat back on the chair tremblingly, and then, Old man Liu stared closely at the corpse of his daughter-in-law Yan Rulian, for a long time, looking, just when we were at a loss, Old Man Liu nodded slightly, and said: "This catastrophe seems to start with that red flower dress!" ”
"Safflower?"
I asked, surprised.
But Master waved his hand to stop me, signaling me to be calm.
It turned out that the so-called safflower clothes were a new dress that his son Liu Wang and daughter-in-law Yan Rulian had to buy in Youlong Town before they suffered, and the safflower clothes were naturally purchased for his daughter-in-law Yan Rulian, just because ...... Yan Rulian was nauseous and retching for three days in a row, and everyone in the family was surprised and inexplicable, thinking that this daughter-in-law was a sign of joy.
Joy means being pregnant.
First, it was to let Liu Wang take his wife Yan Rulian to the town to find a family doctor to check the pulse, and second, she was also distressed about her daughter-in-law, Liu's mother took out a few silver dollars and instructed her son Liu Wang to buy a new dress for her daughter-in-law Yan Rulian, which is the safflower dress that young women like to wear at the moment, but that day...... The young couple came back late......
Old man Liu and his wife asked about the reason for their late return, but the two of them were stumbling, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotional changes between Liu Wang and Yan Rulian, simply put, neither of them was very happy, but in such an atmosphere, Old Man Liu and his wife were told that their daughter-in-law was pregnant.
This is a great joy, but how can two people ......
Maybe it was because of the joy that they were overwhelmed, the two old men didn't ask, but were ready to treat their daughter-in-law well, assign the farm work and housework at home, etc., however, the next day, Yan Rulian said that the saffron dress had to go to see the style again, for fear that the size would not be suitable, she should have been accompanied by Liu Wang, but Liu Wang stayed at home with her head bored.
Yan Rulian went to the town alone, strangely...... That night, I also came home very late.
On the third day, Yan Rulian excused herself again and rushed to the town.
Now, Old Man Liu's old husband and wife are panicked, what's wrong with the daughter-in-law? It's been confirmed that she's pregnant, so why do you run to the town so often? What happens if you get tire gas?!
So, on the fourth day, Old Man Liu discussed with Liu's mother, no matter how the daughter-in-law made excuses, she was not allowed to go to the town again, but she was stopped by her son Liu Wang, and let Yan Rulian rush to the town alone, and every day she went, it was at dawn, and the villagers had not gotten up yet, they walked quietly, and came back late at night, so the villagers did not know that the daughter-in-law was rushing to the town for several days in a row.
A few days later, the old man and his wife were almost desperate, and they were helpless to do what they were doing, what the son and daughter-in-law were doing, they pretended not to know, but on the evening of the seventh day, the son Liu Wang carried back the body of his daughter-in-law Yan Rulian.
As soon as it was placed on the ground of the hall, Liu Wang lay in front of his wife Yan Rulian's corpse, crying bitterly, and before the old couple could ask their son what was going on, they saw Liu Wang spurting out a mouthful of blood and fainted to death on the spot.
"I didn't see the saffron clothes that their little couple purchased, but it added two corpses and three lives, the little old man and I overnight, my hair was white, and my hard-working old woman was even more crazy, this family...... Completely ruined ......" the old man Liu cried with tears in his nose, mourning is greater than heart death, the old couple have worked hard for most of their lives, hoping that their children and grandchildren will be full and happy, but the result is such a result, how can they not be sad!
"Well, there's something strange about it, Brother Liu, tell me about it, did anything strange happen after that?"
The master stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and asked with a frown.
"Strange ......"
Old man Liu thought about it in surprise, and suddenly saw the old woman Liu Mu on the side of the door frame, giggling and "mending" a torn dress, and said hurriedly: "I didn't find anything, but my old wife, since I saw the death of these two children, every night, the old woman will wake up from a nightmare, and she will mutter...... in a panic."
"What are you talking about?!"
Master asked anxiously, reaching out and grabbing Old Man Liu's shoulder.
At this moment, my heart is also twisted into a ball, often seem to be crazy people, but they retain the pure and goodest side of human nature, and such people can see a level that ordinary people can't see, or some "people", or the true face of some things, so many crazy and stupid people have a reason.
"The old woman cried and shouted that her daughter-in-law Xiao Lian came to her, she was drenched, and she kept saying that it was cold, and begged the old woman to save her!"
When Old Man Liu said this, his cloudy old eyes were already occupied by tears, and his voice was choked and indistinct.
After hearing this, the master snorted angrily, took off the wine gourd, poured two large sips of wine, and sighed deeply: "Injustice! ”
"Goo-Goo......
"Oops! I'm a little hungry, Brother Liu, what else do you have to eat at home, take out some for my master and apprentice to fill their hunger, this time I survived, I forgot to eat, hehe......"
How do I know that when the master changed his words, he actually held his stomach and shouted hungry in front of such a scene, my eyes were dark, and I almost fainted to the ground, Master's crazy and strange temper seems to be much more serious than any person in the world!
"Master, it's important to save people......"
I whispered in Master's ear.
"Stinky boy! Are you trying to starve your master to death?! ”
Master blew his beard and glared at me sharply.
"Old man, there may still be some food to eat, I'll go and help you Zhang Luo, it's just my son......" Old man Liu stood up tremblingly and asked with a bitter face.
"It's okay, as long as it doesn't exceed three days, there will be salvation, well, go ahead!"
The master waved his hand and motioned for Old Man Liu to hurry up and get busy with the cooking.
"I said dude...... He's like this, how can he be busy cooking? Or don't go up to Brother Deng, you tell me how to do it, and I'll help you cook! ”
The old smoke pot sighed and supported the old man Liu, full of complaints, it seems that the more he looks at the master now, the more unpleasant he becomes.
"You know the! Let him go has his own reason to let him go, there is a way of checks and balances between heaven and earth, the Liu family should have this catastrophe, this is the fate of their family, can they save his son alive, I'm afraid a meal is a little light! ”
The master glanced at the old smoke pot angrily, sat on the chair with a big grin, and watched the old man Liu go to the stove house to work.
The old smoke pot stomped his feet angrily, and said hurriedly: "How can there be a Taoist priest like you?!" Obviously it can be saved, but it still depends on the sincerity of their family, what is the reason? ”
"Do you understand what is meant to be? The compassion on the outside is false compassion, and the simple virtue in the heart is the great virtue, smoke your dry tobacco pouch, you have the ability to save it? ”
The master waved his hand lazily, and immediately made the old smoke pot angry.
"You, you...... You're just a crazy old man, I can't make sense with you, I can't say it......" The old smoke pot really squatted aside, filled a pot of shredded tobacco, and smoked the dry tobacco pouch with a click.
"Hahaha! Everyone in the north and south of the country knows that my nickname is crazy old way, and I am not worse than you, alas...... Human affairs, people in the world, are they stupid or crazy, crazy or stupid, not crazy or stupid, not stupid or crazy, just because they have lost their nature and lost their hearts, so what can I do......"
The master laughed and sighed for a while, saying something that I didn't understand, but from beginning to end, Jia Tiangui on the side stood there politely, not saying a word about anything, and there was no expression at all.
I inexplicably glanced at the sky outside, it was already approaching dusk, it seemed that this night was extraordinary!
