Chapter 10: Coming back to life
"Is this old woman still alive in ancient times? I don't know that paper money is now outdated and has become the world of online payment? ”
Although the senior brother is a Taoist priest, he also keeps up with the pace of the times, and he is very surprised to see the three gold bars hidden by the ghost baby mother-in-law.
Although it was very shocking to hear the ghost baby's mother-in-law say that she had three gold bars, now that the three gold bars really appear in your eyes, this visual impact makes me and my senior brother feel unreal.
After the senior brother finished speaking, he picked up the black wooden box and started to say:
"It's all over tonight, let's go back."
"Go back? Senior brother, the corpse of the ghost baby mother-in-law is still there, so go back and don't care? ”
Seeing that the senior brother seemed to have forgotten, or didn't care about the corpse at all, I hurriedly asked.
"I forgot about her, I should have found a no-man's land to let her return to nature, but she was full of corpse poison and could only be burned."
After the senior brother finished speaking, without saying a word, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, threw it at the corpse of the ghost baby mother-in-law, and turned around in a dashing manner.
Just listening to the sound of "pounce", the corpse of the ghost baby mother-in-law ignited a raging fire.
I was a little surprised by my brother's methods, but what I saw next made me even more dumbfounded.
In less than a minute, the corpse of the ghost baby mother-in-law was burned to the ground, and there was no trace of it even after it was burned, as if it had never existed.
"This is a fire, an extraordinary flame, don't be surprised, in the future you will know that there is also the fire of the beginning of the yang, the fire of nothingness, that is powerful, hurry up, the time has passed, and the sky will be bright in a while."
As soon as the senior brother finished speaking, the roosters in every house in the village began to crow, and they crowed one after another, as if they were louder than anyone else, and as if they were celebrating something again......
My brother and I quietly returned home, and then went into my room, afraid of waking my parents, so we didn't dare to turn on the lights, and we quickly fell asleep without taking off our clothes.
My nerves were tense in the middle of the night, and when I returned to my room, I was like a deflated ball, and I fell asleep in a short time.
After falling asleep, I had many dreams in which I saw a seven or eight-year-old girl jumping out of the North Spring, smiling sweetly at me.
I dreamed that I was drinking in an ancient palace and there was no one around. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't find the door.
Finally, I dreamed that the ghost baby came out of the willow leaves and grinned at me, and then, the ghost baby's mother-in-law came to me with a bloody face and wanted to seek revenge on me, and I was so frightened that I woke up, sweating profusely, and my heart palpitated.
When I woke up, I was relieved to find out that it was a dream.
Turning my head to look out the window, it was already sunset, the sun shone in through the window, shining on my face, a little dazzling, I blocked the sun with my hands, thinking that it was already eight or nine o'clock, so I quickly prepared to get up.
When I was about to get off the kang, I found that the backs around me were neatly folded, with sharp edges and corners, and it was obviously carefully folded in the morning.
In the summer night, although the temperature is lower than during the day, it is still very hot, unless it is a rainy day, otherwise you don't need a quilt to sleep at night.
The back on the kang was not opened, but in comparison, the back behind me was obviously languishing and staggering.
I put on my shoes, arranged the sheets on the kang haphazardly, and was about to go out when I suddenly thought of last night's gold bars, so I quickly looked around the room.
Eventually, under the wardrobe, I saw the black box lying quietly, and when I touched my pocket, a green willow leaf appeared intact in my hand, not the slightest mutilation or wrinkle from the crushing of sleep.
Walking out of the door, the sunlight shines through the walnut trees in the courtyard to form light spots in the yard, swaying from side to side.
There was my father's hearty laughter in the hall, and a few birds in the trees echoed the sound, chirping non-stop, and a breeze was blowing, refreshing and slightly cool, very comfortable.
I felt refreshed and thought:
What happened last night was really not a dream, I did what I had to do, and the rest can only be left to time, and my village will be restored to its former life.
When I walked into my parents' room, I saw my father and my brother sitting opposite each other, my father was talking with a smile on his face, and my brother listened quietly, with a smile on his face.
When I entered the house, my father stopped talking and said:
"Xiao Ling, why did you get up, if it weren't for the fact that your senior brother was not an outsider, it would definitely make people laugh, I was telling your senior brother about you when you were a child."
"So what's there to talk about."
I was a little embarrassed, thinking that my father must be talking about learning TV plots when I was a child and going to the cave to find martial arts cheats.
Sure enough, as I expected, the senior brother looked at me playfully and opened his mouth with a smile:
"It seems that I will have to call you Jiang Daxia in the future, and I will ask Jiang Daxia for more advice."
Listening to my brother's ridicule, I longed for a hole to get into, so I quickly changed the topic and said:
"Dad, where's my mom, where did you go?"
Actually, I'm a little strange, why didn't my father go to the field today, and now he is busy with farm work, could it be that he let my mother go to the field alone in order to be lazy, but he and his brother are talking and laughing here.
"Your aunt's daughter-in-law in the village, that is, the daughter-in-law of the boy in the treasure, gave birth to a child today, and your mother went to help."
After the father finished explaining, the smile on his face disappeared, and his face was heavy.
The full name of the treasure mentioned by his father is Zhang Baocai, which may be what his parents mean by wanting their baby child to become a talent.
But later, I don't know who gave him a nickname called Treasure, everyone read it very smoothly, and simply reversed the order of the name to others, and called it Treasure directly, even her mother called him Treasure.
Caibao's father died of illness when he was three years old, he was three years older than me, a little wooden, and he kept repeating grades when he was in elementary school.
After he stayed three levels, I got into the same class with him, so I knew his full name.
I didn't expect that Cai Bao was already married, and was about to have a child, and when I asked my father, I found out that Cai Bao didn't go to school in the second year of junior high school, and began to help her mother work in the fields, and got married during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.
I thought to myself that he didn't delay for a moment, and it has only been ten months since he got married!
While I was thinking about it, my mother's voice came through the gate.
"Born, born, born with a handle!"
Mother's voice was already relatively loud, and she was more excited, so I guess not to mention the three of us in the room, I guess the neighbors who are some distance away can't hear it.
My father bounced off the stool and walked out into the courtyard in three steps and two steps, and my brother and I walked out of the room.
I saw that my mother was a little panting, and there were fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, but her face was surprised.
"Is it already raw? Child...... Is it normal?"
Father hurriedly asked, his voice trembling a little.
Mother naturally understood what her father meant, but she gave her father a blank look, did not answer, but went into the kitchen, scooped a spoonful of cold water from the water tank with a large iron spoon for scooping water, walked out of the kitchen, and drank it by herself.
The father was even more anxious, but the mother took a few sips of water before she slowly spoke:
"My throat is smoking, and I won't drink saliva, the child is normal, I look at it about seven pounds, and I cry loudly!"
Before my father could speak, several uncles and uncles who were closer to us came in through the gate of my house and interrupted him.
These uncles and uncles probably also heard their mother's loud voice, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked them something similar to their father's, and their mother smiled and began to talk to them again.
I glanced at my brother, who smiled at me and nodded, and I smiled in response to him.
Although last night was thrilling for me, it was a really good feeling to see the joy on the faces of my parents and neighbors.
