Chapter 23: Blowing the Fire

Looking back, an old woman was standing in the doorway.

The old woman was sixty-four or five years old, wearing rotten straw sandals on her feet, and polyester trousers with side crotch openings, and most of her trousers were left with a waistband. The upper body is layered with two brown and red floral long sleeves, and a beekeeping pocket is carried on the head, and the whole hat is wrapped in a white cloth, and the excess white cloth hangs down to the ear.

The funniest thing is that he is still holding a harpoon in his hand, and the fork is pointed at us, like a Japanese soldier: "What are you doing here?" ”

The master still had that faint expression: "The monks and a few little apprentices are hurrying in the starry night, and they are tired of walking and resting. This ruined temple is public territory, I believe it doesn't hinder you in anything, right? ”

"Really?"

The old woman put her harpoon up and said to us with a strange expression, "This is not clean, it is not safe for you old and young to stay here, go to our house." ”

In normal times, Master would never agree.

I know his temper, and I'd rather sleep on the streets than be disturbed by others, and I wouldn't go to fasting or anything in the name of cultivation like some shameless monks.

Now Lao Qian's eyes lit up, revealing an expression that he couldn't ask for: "Benefactor! Kun Ning, plug, Shen Yan, don't thank you for this aunt. ”

I said thank you with a confused face, and seeing that the second senior brother and Lin Shenyan didn't speak, the old woman rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly and turned around and dropped a sentence: "Come with me." ”

"What are you stunned!?"

Master patted me: "Don't hurry up yet." ”

I hurriedly asked, "We're all gone, what should we do if I'm called Hanako?" ”

Old Qian patted me: "Look at it." ”

I was startled and quickly turned my head to look behind me.

Where is there any Chaos Blood Realm, behind us is the same as when we came, the honeycomb tiles in one place, and some leaves are still covered with bits and pieces, and the cat corpses piled up at the foot of the wall have been restored to their original appearance at some point, one here and there, one hairy belly in another.

Lao Qian said: "I used a five-ghost carrying technique, so that they can restore the ground to its original state, and I don't have to worry about letting Hanako stay for a day and a night, we can go and do other things." ”

"What's the matter, Master?"

I was puzzled: "Why does Master want to go to someone else's house to spend the night, isn't it good for a few of us to watch the little Hanako stay overnight in the ruined temple?" ”

"Oops! What do you know!? ”

As soon as the second senior brother heard that I persuaded the master to stay in the broken temple, he hurriedly came out to stop it, he had already heard Lin Shenyan complain that the mosquitoes had bitten her little hands red, and this time he didn't even bring a flower water, and how good would it be if he didn't leave the jade body that bit the little princess: "How good it is for us to go to other people's houses to live, we can eat and take a hot bath, let's go, let's go, we can't keep up with the big aunt when she walks away." ”

After speaking, he pulled Lin Shen Yan with one hand and pulled me after the old woman with the other.

Therefore, I didn't hear the Master talking to himself in the back holding the lacquered box with orchids: "Since I have taken your things, I will help you do something, and I will fulfill your wishes." ”

We followed the old woman to her house.

Their family is also quite wealthy, not an old-style three-room blue brick house, but a rural villa, with white walls and red glazed tiles, and a courtyard with a three-foot-high wall. In the broken tile house with three or three twos on the left and the right side, it is particularly abrupt.

The door on the left side of the courtyard is also equipped with an aluminum alloy security door.

There was a light bulb at the doorway, and the yellow light illuminated a small stretch of the road.

Three children squatted at the door to fan the picture, two boys and one girl, seven or eight years old. To be precise, the two male babies are playing hard, and the female babies want to mix in, and they are pushed away mercilessly when they squeeze between them several times: "Go away!" Do you know how to play! ”

The girl was not annoyed when she was pushed, but looked at them stupidly and laughed.

"Are you a little promising?"

The old woman just now went up and screwed the girl's ears, and all the ugly words popped out: "You are so short of men?" Why are you so cheap? I didn't see that people didn't want you, so you still went up? Go and go, go home. ”

When the three little boys heard this, they got up and ran to the blue brick house with no lights on the side.

The little girl's tears came out: "Mother-in-law, it hurts." ”

Here in the southwest countryside, my grandmother is called my mother-in-law. The little girl was the old woman's granddaughter.

I suddenly had a black line on my face, did you scold your granddaughter like this? Besides, how old is she, but she is just a child playing or not, so she needs to be scolded so ugly?

I saw the old lady's face clearly through the light, a pair of triangular eyes showing a fierce light, and a knotted nose, representing a very strong personality. A crucian carp mouth, two thin lips and the corners of the lips droop and can't be closed, full of meanness.

This kind of mouth is called a fire mouth.

The photo book says: The mouth is like blowing fire, and the old man sits alone.

Because people with this kind of mouth are too annoying to talk, in the end no one wants to live with them, and they are also used to being alone, don't they die alone?

Even if she is not lonely now, she will be rejected by her children and grandchildren in the future and leave her aside.

In short, this old lady's character is vicious, strong, scolding and telling right and wrong.

There is such an old lady in the family, and the chicken dog is restless on time.

When I entered their house, I found that this was not the case at all, and there was a strange harmony in their house.

The old lady led the little girl into the house, and the little girl immediately went to fetch water and wash her face and feet. There was also an old man at the faucet, washing pots of red potatoes one after another, and the baskets on the ground were full of washed fat sweet potatoes.

The old lady was quite dissatisfied when she saw it: "Why does it take half a day to wash so little, other people's pigs are fed six baskets of red rice a day, and we feed three baskets without rice bran, so can the pigs gain weight?" You wash me a few more baskets out. ”

The old man didn't dare to say a word when he heard this, but turned around and brushed the muddy red hair in the pool.

A shirtless man came out of the back room, and when he saw that the four of us were stunned, he hurriedly asked the old woman, "Mom, who are you?" ”

The old woman remained silent, and her speech did not leak: "I just went to the broken temple to wander around, and wanted to dig some wild vegetables purslane back to eat cold, and I happened to see this old man with his apprentice in the broken temple, I saw that he was a monk who had nowhere to go and was pitiful, so I asked them to go to our house for one night." You also know that the ruined temple is not clean, where can they stay there? ”

When the old woman said that the temple was not clean, she gave the bare-chested man a heavy look.

The man immediately understood, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Oops! It turned out to be a master who practiced for the monks! To be convenient with others is to be convenient with oneself, and the master must not see outside, just treat it as if it were his own home, and stay with us for one night. ”

The master nodded unceremoniously: "Okay, okay." ”

After speaking, he sat down without waiting for the master's instructions, and used a toothpick to tie a watermelon in the fruit bowl and ate it.

Only when I know Master does he know that he must have a deep meaning in doing this.

"I haven't asked yet,"

Their living room is Cantonese style, with a coffee table in the middle, and there are chairs on all sides around the coffee table for resting and drinking tea and gossiping about the Longmen Array or something, and the man sits on the chair next to the master: "Master Fa number?" ”

The master took a leisurely bite of watermelon: "Call me old money." ”

"Okay, Master Qian,"

The man surnamed Xiong still looked tentative, and asked the master with a smile: "I don't know why your old man appeared in that kind of place in the middle of the night?" Why do you want to do it? ”

Why do I know his surname is Xiong?

Because as soon as I looked up, I saw that the red incense paper of the Heaven and Earth Monarch was pasted on the lobby of their house, and the Xiong family style was written on the head, so they naturally had the surname Xiong.

"What's wrong?"

The Master asked him, "The monks have traveled all over the world and rested wherever they go, and they have always been seated in the heavens and the earth, but of course they have to live in a place where they have been covered with tiles, so why can't they go to that place?" ”

"No, no, no,"

The man surnamed Xiong originally looked tentative and wanted to read something from the master's face, but when he saw that the master was comfortable with it, he hurriedly waved his hand, and the fat on his body trembled: "I'll just ask casually." ”

At this moment, the door of the back room slammed into the wall with a "snap", and a woman in a white cotton nightdress rushed out of it, and rushed to the man with a cloak: "Ah Ping, it's not good, the child is out of gas!" ”

"What are you talking about!?"

Mrs. Xiong had been watching the conversation between Master and her son from the sidelines, her eyes were full of scrutiny of Master, and when she was thinking, she saw the woman rushing out like a crazy woman and interrupted her train of thought, and couldn't help scolding: "How can the child be out of breath when he is so good?" ”

The woman's momentum suddenly weakened a little, like a little sheep meeting an old wolf.

I can see why the atmosphere in this house is so harmonious.

If there is such a disgusting old lady in the ordinary family, wouldn't the daughter-in-law quarrel with her earlier? But this woman in a white cotton nightdress has a low nose bridge and low mountain roots, but her eyebrows are long and white.

A woman's long eyebrows and white skin indicate that she has been raised well since she was a child, and her parents love her rich family.

The low bridge of the nose and the low roots of the mountain indicate that there is no assertiveness, low emotional intelligence, and the personality is not strong.

This is strong and weak, the woman is uniformed by the old lady, and she doesn't dare to come out when she sees Mrs. Xiong's anger, isn't there family harmony?

Originally, the women were crying into tears, but they didn't dare to return the old lady's yell, so they had to sobbed in a low voice: "Really... Really, the child is really out of gas. ”

"Will that money-losing guy run out of gas?"

The old lady looked impatient and scolded: "I was expecting to give birth to her to make money, but before I made this money, I spent eighty or ninety thousand yuan first, she was cheap, will she be angry?" Lose money, I'll be angry when I mention her! ”

The woman whispered a protest: "That money is my ....."

"What are you?"

Mrs. Xiong retorted unceremoniously: "Didn't you say she was out of gas?" Go and take her down, I'll see if it's airy! ”

The woman in the white cotton nightdress did not dare to disobey, so she had to wipe her tears and turn around and go upstairs.

After a while, I picked up a swaddling baby and carefully carried it to the old lady.

The old lady unceremoniously took the swaddling clothes from the woman's hand, put them on the coffee table, and tore the swaddling clothes open in two by three, revealing a small baby covered in naked.

When we looked at the baby, we were all amazed.

Lin Shenyan quietly pinched the second senior brother: "This ..... It's a ghost, right? ”
