Chapter 232: A War of Tongues
Yu Xia has returned to the kitchen since the beginning of the "beam throwing", and the beam ceremony is almost over, and she should also go to the kitchen to help.
At this time, the women began to feel a little strange, and vaguely heard someone say something "Liang is crooked", and they wondered in their hearts, so they all went to the courtyard to find out.
When Yu Xia came out with the others, she heard the villagers talking about "colliding with evil spirits", and some people began to suspect that the money for her family to build a house was not coming from the right way, which angered the gods, so they refused to allow them to build a house here.
"You guys are talking nonsense, my family has never done anything black-hearted, the money to build a house was originally a reward for my second sister to go to the county government to work, and at that time, the county magistrate personally came to my house to invite my second sister, you didn't see it!"
Yu Xian stood opposite several villagers, his face flushed with anger, and he reasoned loudly with others.
"Hey, we didn't say anything, just a casual guess, why don't you tell us why you didn't make this wooden beam three times? There must be a reason for such an evil thing to happen, right? ”
The others also giggled, "yes, yes, what else could you say besides bumping into evil spirits?" Why is this happening in your house, and we have never encountered it? ”
No matter how clever Yu Xian is, he is only a five-year-old child, how can he say that these twenty or thirty-year-old slick villagers suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in the corners of their eyes.
Yu Xia was a little distressed when he saw that he wanted to cry so much that he kept staring at him to prevent tears from falling, and his eyes became unfriendly when he looked at the villagers who were talking to him.
"Xiaoxian, what's going on?"
Yu Xia took a step forward, reached out and pulled Yu Xian back, pulling him into his arms.
Yu Xian buried his face in Yu Xia's arms, and the tears finally couldn't stop falling, and they were sucked clean by Yu Xia's clothes.
Those people are so hateful, they don't show virtue in their mouths, and they talk nonsense when they don't know anything. said that their family hit the evil spirit, and said that the second sister was not at home all day a while ago and didn't know what to do mysteriously outside, otherwise how could she still take so much money home?
Others only think that his second sister has been in poor health since she was a child, and she is so dark that she almost doesn't come out to meet people, thinking that this is a girl with a strange temper, and she can't do any work, and it will be difficult to marry in the future.
But he knew that his second sister was smarter than anyone else, but she was dragged down by her body before, and there was no way for others to discover her shining points.
Now the second sister has finally recovered a lot of health, and she has been appreciated by Mr. Song to study in the school and make a few good friends.
Seeing that the second sister is getting better and better, and she has won the reward of the county magistrate, what a great honor it is! As a result, these people couldn't see his second sister well, and they slandered her like this!
Those villagers didn't take it seriously when they saw Yu Xia coming over, isn't it just a black girl who doesn't dare to see people, what is there to be afraid of.
Several people were still looking at Yu Xia with a hippie smile, and were about to say the same thing to Yu Xia with the same set of rhetoric to Yu Xian, but they saw Yu Xia's eyelids raised and looked at them coldly.
A few people only felt that their breath was stagnant, their backs were cold, and they felt fear in their hearts for no reason, their legs trembled a little, and they suddenly closed their mouths, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Several people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Yu Xia, thinking in their hearts that the two daughters of Yu Dayou's family were really evil, how could Fang Cai's eyes look so scary.
"Say, what's going on?"
Yu Xia saw that several people were all bowing their heads and not making a sound, and she lost her patience, so she directly stretched out her foot and kicked a villager closest to her.
This villager is a man in his early twenties, and when he saw that he was named by Yu Xia, he was suddenly frightened, and when he saw the gloating expressions of several people next to him, he suddenly felt angry in his heart.
It's just a little girl! I was scared like this by a girl, and I was ashamed!
Thinking so, the villager straightened his waist and raised his head, looking at Yu Xia. Seeing Yu Xia's black and white eyes looking at him indifferently, as if he could see through his soul, the villager only felt that his scalp was numb, and the courage he had finally mustered suddenly leaked again.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just that the beams are crooked......"
The villager sneered, and as for the malicious speculation that they had said earlier, he automatically skipped it.
"The beams are crooked? What's going on? ”
Yu Xia was stunned, the rules and regulations were on the beam, how could the beam be crooked?
"I, I don't know, anyway, I just re-put on the beam twice, and the beams are crooked by themselves."
"Crooked?" Yu Xia grasped the point of the villager's words.
"Right...... That's it, we can see it clearly, the beams are all good, but I don't know why, the beams didn't take long to go up and they were crooked, as if someone deliberately pushed it. ”
Naturally, the beams of the house will not be pushed crooked, according to what they say, then it is understandable for these villagers to say that they have collided with evil spirits.
After all, many people like to explain the unexplainable strange things by colliding with evil spirits.
"What about Master Zeji, didn't Liang burn incense and ask for advice when he was crooked?"
Yu Xia previously saw that there was no problem with the selection of auspicious days or the process of Shangliang, and he thought that he could become a well-known master of Jiji in ten miles and eight towns, and he also had some real skills, if he encountered such a situation, he would generally communicate with the heavens with incense, hoping that the way of heaven would recognize what he was doing here and now.
"Why didn't I order it, I ordered it, and hummed a strange tune, and then I let people re-put on the beam, but it still didn't work."
The villager saw that although Yu Xia's eyes looked scary, but after saying a few more words, they also chatted with interest, and at this time, when they looked at Yu Xia, they felt that she was still a curious little girl.
The conversation box had been opened, and Yu Xia looked like he was listening seriously, and at this time he relaxed a lot when he talked to Yu Xia.
Yu Xia twisted her eyebrows after listening to the villager explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and looked past the villagers who were blocking her, and saw an incense case at the door, with a pair of incense burners on it, and three sticks of incense were inserted in it, and the incense burned so that only the tail remained.
Burning incense and asking for advice doesn't work?
Yu Xia frowned, didn't care about the villagers bullying Yu Xian, pulled Yu Xian, and squeezed in from the crowd.
The black-faced man was standing under the beam and frowned, at this time, he saw two little dolls, a man and a woman, squeezed in, thinking that it was an ignorant child who came over to play, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw that a ghost light seemed to flash in the eyes of the slightly older girl, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.
The black-faced man watched in amazement as the girl came in and put the boy aside, while the girl herself stared around.
This girl, she actually opened her eyes?
