Chapter Eighty-Nine: Superstition
Seeing that Bei Xiaoya's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, Lin Nan was very puzzled. Shouldn't her relatives be happy to see her, why is she not happy at all, but still sad.
"Are you alright?" Lin Nan raised his hand and shook it in front of her.
"Huh?" Bei Xiaoya came back to her senses, "It's okay, it's just ...... Homesick. She was.
"It's been almost three months since I've been here, and I'm definitely homesick." Lin Nan looked very understanding, "But your family treats you very well, this train is a passenger car, but there is a lot of tossing, and it will be several days on the road." ”
"yes." Bei Xiaoya added. Thinking about it, coming all the way to see her shows that the former master's family is still very kind to the former master, and if he thinks about it, he has some problems, and that brother will not investigate it deeply. Thinking about it like this, Bei Xiaoya was a little relieved.
"Then you're busy, I'm out." After Lin Nan finished speaking, he walked out of the training room again.
Bei Xiaoya put the telegram on the table next to her, and then jumped on the desk in front of the blackboard.
Throughout the day, except for having a meal at noon and running to the bathroom in the afternoon, Bei Xiaoya spent the rest of the time on writing. After the short story was written, he wrote in flower characters to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and then wrote a note in small letters. After all the words are filled, it's time to get off work. Bei Xiaoya jumped off the table and looked at a few blank spaces, thinking that it would be completed tomorrow with illustrations.
She stood in front of the blackboard for a few moments before she packed up her things and went out the door. When the person returned to the family home, he first went to lie down on the sofa for a while. When the rest is almost over, I roll up my sleeves and go to the kitchen to prepare food. The few dishes at home are pitiful, but the cabbage is very rich, it should be Yu Yang who is worried that she will not have time to mow the grass in the field, so she will help the little sheep hoard. Bei Xiaoya picked up a cabbage and picked off the bad leaves outside, then broke off some good ones, cut them into pieces with a knife, and then cleaned them and fried them. There were still two steamed buns left in the steamed buns that Yu Yang brought back from the cafeteria, Bei Xiaoya boiled hot water and steamed them, took them out after they were soft, and fried cabbage to solve the dinner.
After dinner, she began to clean the kitchen utensils again, and only after everything was cleaned up did she wipe her hands out of the kitchen.
"Have you had dinner?"
As soon as Bei Xiaoya stepped out of the kitchen, the instructor's family led Xiaobao into her door.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaobao." Bei Xiaoya was a little surprised to see them. It's too lonely to have no one to talk to at home, and Bei Xiaoya occasionally feels kind when she hears the lamb cry.
"Xiaobao go and sit on the side, I have something to do with your aunt." The instructor pulled Xiaobao to sit on the sofa, and then walked to Bei Xiaoya alone, "Are there scissors at home?" ”
Bei Xiaoya nodded, turned around and took out the scissors from the bedroom. The instructor took the scissors and pulled her into the kitchen.
"What is this, sister-in-law?" Bei Xiaoya looked at the basket in the instructor's arms very strangely.
"Incense, pray to God and worship Buddha." The instructor's family took the incense out of the frame and placed it on the stove.
"I know this, but what about that?" Bei Xiaoya pointed to another thing in the frame.
The instructor's family also took it out casually, "This is yellow table paper, which is used for paper money." ”
Bei Xiaoya took the stack of rough and dark yellow paper and looked at it carefully, only to recognize that it was burned for the deceased in the TV series.
The instructor took the paper back when she had finished it, and then used scissors to cut two round pieces of paper on a piece of paper, and then cut holes in the paper. When she finished cutting, Bei Xiaoya recognized that she had cut two shapes similar to copper coins.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Bei Xiaoya felt eerie inexplicably, and unconsciously even lowered her voice a lot.
"Nothing," the instructor made a silent gesture, "don't speak." ”
After the instructor's family had finished cutting the copper coins, they lit two sticks of incense from the fire on the smoke and inserted them into a bowl she had brought with them, which also contained ashes and other things.
After burning the incense for a while, the instructor folded his hands and closed his eyes, and then began to mutter. Bei Xiaoya was stunned and didn't understand a word, so she guessed that what she said might be her hometown. The instructor's family chattered for a while before they opened their eyes. As soon as her eyes opened, she picked up the two cut copper coins again, and then put the two copper coins along the two sticks of incense. The copper coin slid all the way down the incense body, and when it slipped more than halfway, the two copper coin papers suddenly stopped and hung on the incense body obliquely.
Bei Xiaoya's scalp was a little numb, and she saw that there was no bulge on the incense that could block the copper coin paper, but why did the paper suddenly stop together.
Then the instructor folded her hands together and began to chatter, and after a while, she took a piece of yellow paper and folded it into a triangular hat, and then took some of the burnt ashes with it, and wrapped it tightly.
"Put this under your pillow and throw it away in three days." The instructor's house has finally returned to its usual appearance.
"What do you mean?" Bei Xiaoya took it with some trembling hands.
The instructor put the things back in the box, "You're just scared, our hometown says it's scared out of your soul, I'll call you like this, and you can sleep well tonight." ”
Bei Xiaoya held the incense ash in her hand, thinking that she might be even more scared now, and it is estimated that it is difficult to even close her eyes.
But when I think about it again, I have come back from the dead, and maybe there is really such an evil thing.
"Scared?" The instructor looked at her, staring at the incense ash and exhaling nervously.
Bei Xiaoya replied honestly, "A little." ”
The instructor smiled and picked up the basket, "You just think that your sister-in-law has just had a nervous moment, nothing happened, don't think about it." ”
Bei Xiaoya also smiled and walked out of the kitchen with her, and Xiaobao saw them come out and hurriedly ran over.
"Sister, where is Uncle Yu Yang?" Xiaobao took Bei Xiaoya's hand and pulled her to the sofa and sat down.
"Your uncle went to work, and you won't be able to see him today." Bei Xiaoya took Xiaobao and sat next to her.
"Okay." Xiaobao lowered his head in disappointment.
The instructor's family pulled the bench next to the desk and sat down, "You also hurry up and give birth to one, you can still have a companion when Yu Yang goes out on a mission in the future, otherwise this empty home will be alone, and it will be really deserted." ”
Bei Xiaoya pinched Xiaobao's meaty face, it's good to have a child, but she and Yu Yang are not suitable now, right?
"Go with the flow." Bei Xiaoya thought for a while and said.
The instructor looked at the futon at the end of the sofa and knew it in her heart, but she didn't break it, she only smiled, "Then I'm waiting for your good news, when you have a baby, a quilt, tiger head shoes and other things, my sister-in-law has all the bags." ”
Bei Xiaoya grinned, "Then thank you sister-in-law first." "If she does have a baby, she needs to find someone to guide her, and she has no experience in taking care of children.
The instructor's family then chatted with her for a while, and when the pendulum clock struck eight o'clock, she took Xiaobao home. Bei Xiaoya waited for them to leave, read the book again, and went back to the bedroom to rest after finishing.
