Chapter Eighty-Three: Zhong Gu
It seems that there is a Nanban Gu master in the capital, thinking of the prophecy in the mouth of the Nanban in the previous life, Cheng Jin's face gradually became solemn, if that prophecy is fulfilled, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful again.
Aunt Xu was stunned when she saw Cheng Jin, and remembered her strange behavior just now, and her heart was a little furious, "Sister Jin, do you want to go back to the house and continue to rest, or go to the racecourse?" ”
"Let's go to the horse farm, Daddy and Yuan must still be waiting for me." Cheng Jin carefully cleaned his hands in the silver basin on the side, "Aunt Xu, what kind of person was the shopkeeper Yan back then?" ”
The strange feeling in Aunt Xu's heart has not dissipated, but she still thought about it carefully and said, "The shopkeeper Yan is the son of the Liu Mansion, he married a wife in his early years, and he is also the son of the Liu Mansion. Mrs. Liu saw that he was clever, so she let him go out of the house to manage a cloth shop, the business of the shop had not been good before, but in the hands of the shopkeeper Yan, there was a great improvement, and in a few years, he was the most useful one among the shopkeepers of Liu's house. Later, Mrs. Liu married into the Cheng family, and Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her, so she asked the shopkeeper Yan to come with her to help take care of Mrs. Yan's property outside. When we were in Ruyang before, the shopkeeper Yan had been helping his wife manage the dowry shop. Later, when I came to the capital, Mrs. sold the dowry shop in Ruyang, bought a wine shop, and opened a wine fairy, and it has always been Yan shopkeeper to help take care of it. ”
Only then did Cheng Jin know that the wine fairy was exchanged by Mrs. Cheng for her dowry shop, and it had nothing to do with the Chengenhou Mansion, so it is no wonder that Mrs. Cheng never hesitated to spend money on their brothers and sisters, and when they arrived at Mrs. Cheng and the third room, and even Cheng Ping, they cried poverty all day long, and Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Ping had nothing to say.
Mrs. Cheng's family background is not as good as that of the wealthy and wealthy Mrs. Cheng Er, but she is by no means embarrassed, she is such a smart woman, she will not take out her dowry to supplement her husband's family like Mrs. Cheng, support her face, just take care of herself and her four children, as for the others, she is just looking at the name of her own Mrs. Hou, helping to take charge of the Hou Mansion, public is public, private is private, she is clearer than anyone else.
"The shopkeeper Yan was the first person to use in front of his wife, and I and Ahu are women in the back house, and what we can do outside is limited after all, and everything outside depends on him, but it's a pity that he has such a disease." Aunt Xu looked at Cheng Jin cautiously, "Does the shopkeeper Yan still have a doctor?" ”
"How do I know that?" Cheng Jin looked helpless, "I'm just the first time I've seen someone who has gone crazy, I think it's novel, I just want to see how he is different from us, my aunt won't think I know medicine, right?" ”
Cheng Jin still looks like an ordinary girl now, Aunt Xu is relieved, Cheng Jin has been stupid for more than ten years, and after waking up, she suddenly became smart and extraordinary, and she also learned medical skills without a teacher, which is really a bit appalling, if she really wants to be like that, she doesn't know how to face her.
"You and your second brother are really siblings, they both love to watch the excitement, and so is he, where there is chaos, he will make up wherever there is chaos," Aunt Xu said angrily, "This kind of excitement can also be messed up casually?" ”
"Auntie, I think this strict shopkeeper is also pitiful, untie his hands and feet, he won't collide with people." Cheng Jin glanced at the shopkeeper Yan with pity, the Gu worm had completely destroyed his brain, in the past, he could still walk out in a daze, but now his brain has been almost destroyed by the Gu worm, I am afraid that he will not have a few days to live.
Aunt Xu couldn't bear to tie him up, so she immediately let people untie his hands and feet, helped him in, and sighed, "I don't know what kind of evil has been done, a good person is tossed into this appearance." ”
"The doctor doesn't look at him well, maybe it's not that he's sick, it's not that he has fallen into an evil ......" Cheng Jin suddenly lowered his voice, "I bumped into a person at the gate of Dali Temple the day before yesterday and caught fire in his belly and burned himself alive. ”
Aunt Xu was shocked, she had followed Lao Xu for many years, and she had also heard a lot of stories about coming and going from the north to the south, and she knew more about the Southern Barbarian Gu worm than the average housewife, and suddenly thought of the shopkeeper Yan, "Could it be that the shopkeeper Yan was also hit by the Gu?" ”
"I don't know, but I heard that in the past two years, Beijing has not been very peaceful, and there are often such strange things."
Aunt Xu nodded, "Since the Holy Lord's pro-government, there have been more and more such things, my old Xu said that it was the ghost in the south, if it was really a Gu worm, then nine times out of ten it was gone, but the shopkeeper Yan was smooth and kind on weekdays, not like the kind of person who would offend people, who was the Gu who gave him a trick?" Could it be that those people who open restaurants in Beijing want to compete for business with the wine fairy? ”
"The Southern Barbarians may not be for revenge, it is not uncommon to use Gu worms to rob business in the Southern Barbarians, but it is quite rare in the capital, if it involves the one in the south, it is even more difficult to say why."
"Could it be that they are going for Madame?" Aunt Xu was shocked by her own thoughts, "Madame is the mother of the Hou Mansion, will those Southern Barbarians want to harm the Holy Lord through Madame?" ”
"I really don't know this, but if the shopkeeper Yan really fell for the Gu, it is really dangerous to let him stay in Zhuangzi." Cheng Jin said helplessly.
Aunt Xu came back to her senses at this time, Emperor Longqing went to the racecourse much more times than he went to the Chengenhou Mansion, "Then how is this good?" ”
"Since the people of Dali Temple know about Gu worms, they must know the reason, and I will report this matter to Dali Temple after I return to Beijing, and it should be more appropriate to ask them to investigate."
Aunt Xu nodded again and again, "What I said is that I will repair a book later, and you will give it to your wife when you return to Beijing and ask her to decide." If it's really a Gu worm, will it happen to us if we spend time with him every day? ”
"I read in the medical book that Gu worms are not as good as plagues, and it is not easy to raise Gu worms, where is it so easy to pass on others, but if the host dies, then Gu worms are afraid that they will have to find the next host."
Aunt Xu heard this, her hair stood on end, "Then, how is that good?" ”
"Keep an eye on him first, from today onwards, the people who will bring him food and clean up and watch him will be decided, except for them, no one else should contact him again, and the rest will wait for us to return to Beijing to make plans."
"That's all there is to it." Aunt Xu glanced at the room where the shopkeeper Yan was locked in fear, and led Cheng Jin to walk away quickly, although Cheng Jin said that Gu worms are not as good as the plague, and the shopkeeper Yan may not have been hit by Gu, but she still felt afraid.
