When the old woman heard this, she completely lost the reason to continue to persevere.

He said, "Wait, I'll hang the white cloth now." ”

The wife walked out of the house and tore off the black cloth on the door.

In fact, I don't know that hanging a white cloth on the lintel may be more unlucky, because generally funerals are hung with white cloth.

After the old woman hung up the white cloth, she hurried into the house, and when she entered the house, she closed the door tightly, and I had seen cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

When I got to the house, I said, "I've hung up, what should I do next?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said: "Don't worry, come one by one, now that I have helped you, should you also give back to me." ”

The old woman looked at me with a sad face, and I knew that the crux of the problem was me.

"If you don't say it, forget it." Zhang Yiqing spoke, got up and prepared to walk out.

It was also this move that made the old woman panic a little, and the old woman quickly said: "Master, don't leave yet, I'll make you two a cup of tea, and I'll think about where to start by the way." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yiqing said one word simply.

The old woman held the black cat and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Qin Huai, wait a minute, no matter what you hear, don't panic." ”

I said okay.

Just listening to Zhang Yiqing say this, my heart has actually become a little nervous, my father had to find a stable wife to deliver the baby no matter what, and he refused to go to the hospital, there must be some unspeakable secret hidden here.

I took a deep breath.

After about five minutes, the old woman came out of the house and placed two glasses of water in front of us.

Then he sat down across from us.

She looked at me, sighed and said, "Actually, I really don't want to talk to others about this matter, and I promise not to talk nonsense." ”

"You're not talking nonsense, but you have secrets that you can't hide."

Zhang Yiqing quickly gave the old woman encouragement and asked her to continue.

The old woman said, "If I'm not mistaken, your father should have named you Qin Huai." ”

I said yes.

"Grandma Wang, what happened on the day you delivered me?"

The old woman said, "I remember when your father came to look for me, it was raining heavily that night, and the town doctors came to the door, but your father just didn't let me in, and had to wait for me to come." But when I went in, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life. ”

As the old woman spoke, her brows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times.

I was also a little anxious and said, "What do you see?" ”

The old woman glanced at Zhang Yiqing again, Zhang Yiqing's face was ancient, and people couldn't see through what they were thinking.

I was very anxious, and I couldn't help but ask, after I asked, the old woman said: "After I went in, in fact, your mother was lying on the bed covered in blood, not only on the face, body, hands and feet, I was scared of weak legs, I have been delivering for so many years, where have I seen this kind of battle." But your dad is really a character, he didn't panic at all, he came over and helped me up, and then said to me, please leave this matter to me. ”

"Actually, I didn't want to care about this matter at the time, but when I saw your father's appearance and your mother's appearance, I really couldn't bear it! I said to myself, help you once, even if it is to accumulate yin virtue for yourself, I went forward and began to prepare for the delivery, but what frightened me even more was still to come. ”

As the old woman spoke, as if she was reminiscing about the past, a frightened expression appeared on her face, and when she thought about it now, she felt frightened, enough to see how serious the situation was at that time.

The old woman also drank her own water.

Then he said: "When I came closer, I felt your mother's hand, but found that it was extremely cold, I looked at your mother's face, and found that my eyes were closed, I thought something was wrong, your mother should be dead, I rubbed it and stood up, I have delivered babies to the living many times in my life, but I have never delivered babies to the dead, this kind of thing, where can I do it, but your father is also a smart man, when he saw me stand up, he knew that I was going out." ”

I listened to the turmoil in my heart, and couldn't help but interject: "How can my mother die, how can she give birth to me when she dies?" Are you mistaken? ”

In fact, this will give birth to a worry in my heart, I am a little scared at this time, afraid to know some facts.

My dad used to simply tell me that my mom died in childbirth, and he didn't say anything else.

Listening to the old woman talk about these things now, it feels a bit like a fantasy.

"And then?" Zhang Yiqing asked suddenly.

"Later, it was your father who knelt in front of me and begged me to deliver you, I was soft-hearted, and your father knelt down again, so I promised to help your father deliver you."

"At that time, when you delivered the baby, in fact, your head had already come out, but I soon discovered a bigger thing in the process of delivering the baby, that is, the delivery was clearly a stillborn baby."

I:......

I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense? I know how I can be a dead baby if I'm alive and well now.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but retort: "Where did I die, aren't I alive and well now?" ”

The old woman looked at me and immediately said, "Do you think that after so many years of delivery, I don't know whether a child is dead or alive?" ”

The old woman's words seem to have completely broken my psychological defense, if I was born a dead baby at that time, then how did I survive?

I didn't interject and waited for the old woman to continue, but the old woman looked at me leisurely and said, "You were logically dead at the time, and now you can live, it is likely that your father made a deal with the underworld to survive." ”

After the old woman said this, she immediately said: "I also guessed, believe it or not, it depends on yourself, but your father is definitely not an ordinary person." ”

I was lost in thought and did not continue to ask.

Zhang Yiqing said: "Is there anything else? ”

The old woman immediately waved her hand and said, "No." ”

Then he cried and said with a sad face: "Master, I have said everything I know, you must save me." ”

As she spoke, the old woman was about to kneel again, but this time she was helped up by Zhang Yiqing and said, "Don't kneel, no matter what, you saved Qin Huai." ”

The old woman looked at Zhang Yiqing in surprise, and Zhang Yiqing said: "At night, you hang a gong at the door, as long as someone outside calls your name at night, you will ring the gong." ”

"Master, what is the use of this gong? How many knocks are appropriate? ”

"Three times. Not more, no more, after tonight, it will save your life. ”

After Zhang Yiqing finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, got up and walked out, and I hurried to catch up, but before leaving, I said thank you to the old woman, no matter what, the old woman saved me at the beginning.

Zhang Yiqing and I walked a little farther, and when I saw that there was no one around, I asked, "Master Zhang, is what Wang Po said just now true or false?" ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Yiqing asked me rhetorically.

"Really."

"What you think is true, that's true."

Zhang Yiqing didn't explain too much to me, and I had other questions in my heart, so I continued to ask: "Master Zhang, what is the purpose of the gong just now?" ”

"The Jade Emperor of the gong has used it, because the sound of the gong is crisp and powerful, and the Jade Emperor once canonized the gong, so the gong has been used for happy events and funerals over the years, and the reason why it is used for this kind of thing is because, when doing happy events, everyone definitely does not want to have a little ghost or something to harass, so this gong can scare away the little ghost."

I asked, "What about the funeral?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said: "When doing a funeral, after a person dies, in the days of the funeral, if you knock on the gong, you can scare the little ghost and let the little ghost come to hook the soul later." ”

After I listened to it, I only felt that I had gained a lot of knowledge.

I couldn't help but say, "Master Zhang, you are really amazing." ”

Zhang Yiqing said with a smile and didn't say anything.

I continued, "Then the princess will be fine tonight." ”

Zhang Yiqing said: "She can't escape." ”

I heard the change of color and said, "Master Zhang, didn't you say? ”

Zhang Yiqing asked me rhetorically: "Do you want to know why she can't escape?" ”

I immediately said I wanted to.

Zhang Yiqing didn't sell it, and opened his mouth to speak slowly.
