Chapter 31: Restlessness
"What are you going back for? Do you want to be a demon every day and don't let people work? "Who's not the whole family is mainly farming when they are busy farming, why does it come to his house in reverse, and call the whole family back when there is a bit of, and the work in the field is still not done? Drink the northwest wind this year?
"It's not...... Father...... There was a ...... at home" Wang felt that her head was dizzy, and she was exhausted from panting, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and she had to rest.
"Dad, let my sister-in-law rest, maybe something big happened at home?" Shen Zhi regretted it when he got to the ground and picked up the hoe, he wanted to save face and suffer the crime, and he was thinking about what excuse to go back, and he said that he would not come tomorrow. The sister-in-law came at the right time to solve his urgent need.
Wang rested for a long time before he came back. "Dad, there is a high monk in the family, and he said that there is a monster in the family, and it is that Shen Xiaoxia. The mother has already gone to inform the village to open an ancestral hall to eliminate demons. ”
"What?" Old man Shen was so shocked that he didn't want a hoe, last night he heard the old woman say dirty things or something, thinking she was just talking, but he didn't expect to make trouble today, and invited the ancestral hall, she is going to be heaven!
"Sister-in-law, how can you believe in the ghosts and gods, you must have been deceived, how could you happen to come to the monk, how could the monks come to our small mountain village when they are all in the temple." Shen Zhi was also angry, can you let him take the Jinshi exam with peace of mind, how can the mother-in-law in the family be so capable of being a demon?
Wang shrunk his neck and said, "I look like a monk!" Besides, it was the monk himself who calculated Shen Xiaoxia's birthday and calculated that she died on the twenty-third day of the first month of this year, wasn't that the day Shen Xiaoxia was thrown into the pigsty by her mother? The monk calculated that she should have died that day. ”
When Old Man Shen and Shen Zhi heard that they didn't believe it, they were now a little suspicious, so they both picked up their hoes and followed the Wang family.
Xiao Chun took Xiao Qiu and looked around the village, and also saw Shen Zhong and Xiao Xia, and didn't want to go home to listen to her grandmother's scolding, so she went to Xiao Wang's family to help her cut pigweed and hide.
When the Wang family returned to the Shen family with the old man Shen and Shen Zhi, the courtyard of the Shen family was full of people again, this time it was even more exaggerated, almost the whole village came out, and the weather was warmer, as long as everyone who could walk and could walk, everyone came.
Old man Shen's temples jumped suddenly, and he could only walk into the courtyard with his head down, and when he and Shen Zhi saw the old monk sitting in the courtyard, they were originally suspicious and immediately turned into convinced.
Old Man Shen took Shen Zhi to salute the senior monk and recited the sentence 'Amitabha'. Buddhism was very prevalent in this era, and other sects were called cults.
The village chief Shen Shouxiao and the uncle of the Shen family were all looking at the old monk with a pious face, although there were many people inside and outside the courtyard of the Shen family, there was no loud noise, they all came to see the monks to subdue demons and eliminate demons with a pious attitude.
"That girl hasn't come back yet?" Shen Shouli looked at his old wife and asked.
"Let Shen Xiaochun find it." Mrs. Jia is very well-behaved this time, and she didn't dare to show it in front of the monks at all, so she was afraid that she would offend the monks and not give the Shen family a demon.
"Mother, that monster won't run away when he knows that the monk is coming from home, right?" Shen Hui reminded in a whisper. I can't wait to get rid of that monster now, so that I can live the same life that everyone envied in the future.
"Yes! Mother, Shen Xiaochun won't be in the same league as that monster, right? "Zhao is simply afraid. When she remembered the way she looked at herself last time when she was going to marry Shen Xiaoxia to a fool, she felt eerie and terrifying when she thought about it now.
When Mrs. Jia heard this, she looked at the old man and asked him to make up his mind.
"Let's wait!"
I waited a little day.
Shen Zhong and Xiao Xia spent a lot of effort in the mountains to catch two pheasants, and the harvest was still good. Seeing that it is still early, you can go back before your mother finishes cooking, and there will be chicken to eat in the evening.
Shen Zhong took Xiao Xia down the mountain, and just met Xiao Wang, who returned to the village after cutting pigweed, with his two daughters, the family looked at each other and smiled, and a pleasant and warm atmosphere surrounded the family.
"Mother, you see that my father caught two pheasants today, and when I go home, I will kill them and stew them at night, and I want to drink a big bowl of chicken soup."
The two sisters Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu looked very happy, although they had eaten two meals of chicken recently, but they felt that they would not get tired of eating it, and it was good to eat it every day.
The corners of Xiao Wang's mouth also showed a smile, seeing that the children were happy, she felt that everything was worth it, and no matter how hard she worked, she was very happy.
When a family of five entered the village, they felt that the atmosphere in the village was a little wrong today, and there were no people from the village working in the fields they passed along the way, and they didn't see anyone even when they entered the village.
When he was about to get close to the door, Xiao Xia saw from a distance that the Shen family's compound was full of people inside and outside, and something happened again? What could it be?
"Daddy!" Xiaochun was a little scared, she was so happy just now that she forgot the task when she came out.
When Xiao Xia saw Xiao Chun's bumpy and restless expression, her heart tightened, it couldn't have anything to do with her family again, right? "Sister, do you know what's going on?"
Koharu nodded, then shook her head again. "It's my grandmother and sister-in-law who asked me to find you back, and I went to help my mother cut pigweed before I found it in the village, and I forgot about it."
"What's the matter with me and my father?" Xiao Xia had another ominous premonition.
"There was a monk at home, and I didn't know what my grandmother said to the monk, so she told me to go find you and come back."
Monk? Xiao Xia faintly guessed something in her heart, she must not have believed in ghosts and gods before, but it was very bizarre that she was reborn into Shen Xiaoxia, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a lonely ghost! Could it be that grandma really found a monk to catch ghosts? Since becoming Shen Xiaoxia, she has not felt uncomfortable or disobedient at all, as if she should have been like this, she shouldn't have been caught by these ancients, right? She wasn't sure.
There was always a sharp-eyed glance that saw Shen Zhong's family standing in the distance and was about to go home, and all of a sudden the eyes of the whole village turned around, and people automatically gave way to Shen Zhong's family. Some people are frightened, some are curious, some are pitiful, and some are disgusted. There are all kinds of attitudes, but there is no speech, not even the sound of discussion, and the hundreds of people in a village are unusually quiet.
Xiao Xia suddenly hesitated a little, feeling that he shouldn't go in, but now it's too late, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what, there is a solution.
Xiao Xia walked in the front, everyone's eyes followed her, and she felt what it was like to be in the limelight for the first time.
When I entered the courtyard of the Shen family, I saw an old monk sitting in the middle of the courtyard wearing a red robe full of dazzling golden light, with his eyes closed and words in his mouth.
Xiao Xia's heart beat faster, and she stood at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, when Rhubarb began to scream for some reason. 'Wangwang......' slammed into her heart.
