Chapter 141: Reward, Diamond Plus Change
She walked back and forth, looking ignorant, as if she was looking for an exit, I looked and looked, and finally determined, isn't this Wu Xinyue who is holding her second aunt tonight?
No, to be exact, it should be said that a wisp of soul that looks exactly like Wu Xinyue is wandering around my room, which is really evil.
If it's Wu Xinyue, it might be sleepwalking, a wisp of soul, what the hell is it?
She walked around my room for a few hours, and I stared at her motionless for a few hours, until I finally began to get sleepy, and I was not afraid, one was that she had no intention of attacking me, and the other was that I had a ghost pet and a sycamore spirit, so I didn't have to be afraid.
It wasn't until a rooster's crowing sounded in the yard that she seemed to find the exit, and suddenly got out of the crack in the door, and I quickly got up and chased after it, but when I got to the door, I couldn't even see the ghost.
When I returned to my room, I couldn't think of a name after thinking about it, so I fell asleep.
I didn't sleep for long, I was woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone, I saw that it was Hu Qichen calling, and quickly picked it up, he asked me if I had arrived, and I saw my grandmother, I said that everything was going well, and he hung up after a few words.
He is a person who rarely has sweet words and sticky and greasy, and sometimes he feels quite lost, but sometimes, he also likes him to be so neat.
Hey, there is no standard for what is right and what is wrong, as long as you like it, everything is right.
I'm still a little sleepy, but I heard the footsteps outside, and on the first day I came to Wu's house, I couldn't hang a label that I loved to sleep lazy, so I fortunately got dressed, opened the door, and stood in front of the railing.
It was only about six o'clock at that time, and the sky was covered with red glow, and the warm sunlight slanted down from the east edge of the enclosure and shone directly into the wellhead in the center of the enclosure.
The enclosure is circular, the layout is a bit like a courtyard house in Kyoto, there is a large well in the center, next to the well there are several women washing clothes, there is a very thick osmanthus tree planted in the southeast corner, the leaves are as many as a cover, the fragrance of pale yellow osmanthus at the end of September is compelling, everything is so beautiful.
"Peng Peng got up so early, why didn't she sleep for a while?" The second aunt by the well looked up and saw me, smiled and asked loudly.
I leaned on the railing and replied, "Some people don't know the bed, but they can't sleep well, and it will be good to get used to it in two days." ”
"It's okay, I'll ask Xinyue to bring you a stick of benzoin to help you sleep, you can sleep back and have breakfast." The second aunt was very enthusiastic, and called out for a new moon as she spoke.
I originally wanted to refuse to come, but when I thought of the soul I saw before, I held back, and I also wanted to see if this Wu Xinyue had anything to do with that soul.
As a result, as soon as the second aunt called, Wu Xinyue came out in a hurry, and after a while, she came up with a stick of incense, pouted and handed it to me: "Oh, you want benzoin." ”
I didn't reach out to pick it up, stared straight at her little face, seven or eight years old, the skin can be broken, red fluttering, very cute, this Wu Xinyue is also good-looking, there is a coquettishness in her bones, and there is a slight impatience in the clear eyes, and she feels a little repulsed from me.
When my eyes moved to the center of her eyebrows, I was stunned, Wu Xinyue's eyebrows had a small red mole, slightly protruding skin, the color was not dark, and it happened to grow in the center of the Yin Hall.
There are more black moles in Yintang, Zhuang Jiming's mole is close to Yintang, he is destined to be a swinger in his life, and he is romantic.
There are very few women with red moles in the center of Yintang, this kind of red mole is called cinnabar mole, also called beauty mole, the lord is noble, fate and Buddhism are related, most of them can fly Huang Tengda, but such a woman will often have a little defect in her life, and the defect varies from person to person.
"It's rude to stare at people all the time." Wu Xinyue said impatiently.
Only then did I regain my senses, smiled awkwardly, took benzoin and said, "Trouble Sister Crescent." ”
She snorted, didn't say a word, turned around to leave, and I couldn't help but ask, "Xinyue, did you sleep well last night?" ”
She turned around and glared at me: "I'm not like you, I can't sleep when I'm old, I can't sleep with incense, we young children are growing up, sleeping until dawn all night, fragrant." ”
After saying that, he ran downstairs in a hurry.
I touched my tense face, my head was full of black lines, nineteen years old, was he already old?
……
Of course, I couldn't sleep again, so my grandmother got up at half-past six, and I washed up with her, and then went to breakfast.
The breakfast was more formal, with a large round table set up, surrounded by people, with my grandmother sitting at the top, and I still being arranged next to my grandmother, and then the three rooms.
Those who can arrange the round table are all relatively old, there is a small table next to the round table, surrounded by children, Wu Xinyue is also on the small table, but those who can be here should be descendants.
"Peng Peng, you should have met most people last night, your second uncle and uncle are usually busy, so I stayed at home today to have breakfast with you, and several of your brothers and sisters also know each other, you can usually play with them, and you can ask them for help if you have something." The eldest uncle seemed quite amiable.
I immediately nodded, "Thank you." ”
"Don't be restrained, this is your home, you only returned home after 19 years away, everyone feels very sorry for you, stay in Miaojiang in the future and don't leave, what you want to learn Uncle will ask the best teacher to teach you, even if you don't want to learn anything, Uncle will support you for a lifetime."
This is really good, I sneered in my heart, grandma said, half of the Wu family's property has been left to me, and I still use their big house to support it? This is obviously trying to win me over, and in front of the whole family, it is also a disguised pressure on the second and third rooms, I don't like their open and secret fights, I like a simple life.
I subconsciously glanced at my grandmother, thinking that she would say something, but she drank millet porridge slowly and didn't say anything.
I knew in my heart that my grandmother probably wanted to be obscure, but I didn't want to get involved in this chaos, so I said directly: "Uncle bothered, but I'm still studying in Jiangcheng, and I'm more familiar with it, this time I came back to see my grandmother, by the way, I recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, and when I was done, I still have to go back to Jiangcheng, for me, as long as my grandmother is comfortable in the Wu family, my other most concerned things are only studies." ”
Grandma held the chopsticks in her hand, and the eldest uncle immediately laughed: "We have our own opinions, the eldest uncle just suggested, and the eldest uncle supports you whatever you want." ”
"Pengpeng, are you going to leave after a few days of playing? I'm going to let our Crescent take you around. The second aunt interjected.
I don't know why, I always feel that this second aunt has been pushing Wu Xinyue in front of me, last night at the dinner table, so many children, she held Wu Xinyue alone, you must know that Wu Xinyue is seven or eight years old, several younger brothers and sisters than her, this morning also asked Wu Xinyue to send me benzoin, now, there are five or six brothers and sisters sitting next to her, why did she still bring Wu Xinyue out alone, let such a child be my guide?
I looked at my second aunt, she was very good-looking, in her forties, very well maintained, there were no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and there was obviously a trace of expectation in her eyes that stared at me.
After last night's soul incident, I was quite interested in this Wu Xinyue, and just wanted to speak, but the grandmother on the side said: "It's okay, after eating, let Xinyue take Peng Peng around." ”
The second aunt suddenly became happy: "That's good, that's good." ”
……
After eating, the second aunt immediately slipped Wu Xinyue over and explained: "Xinyue, don't do anything today, just accompany your cousin to look around, do you hear?" ”
Wu Xinyue's face was full of unhappiness: "Mom, I'm going to go to the tailor to try on a new skirt today, and it's about to be my birthday, and if the size is not suitable, I won't have time to change it." ”
"Then take your cousin with you to have a look, and you won't miss anything." The second aunt scolded her with her eyes.
I smiled and said, "New Moon is going to have a birthday?" ”
"Yes, it will be the seventh birthday of the new moon in three days, and the clan will do a big job, buy her a few sets of new clothes, and she will guard it every day, childlike, don't mind." The second aunt hurriedly explained.
I reached out and touched Wu Xinyue's head: "Then Xinyue, let's go see your new clothes first, it should be a national costume, I like it a lot." ”
Wu Xinyue had a smile on her face and asked me instead, "Do you know how to ride an electric tricycle?" A bit far. ”
I nodded, and she immediately pulled me to the cart, and I drove, and she stood in the back, holding my shoulders with both hands.
I thought that the tailor's shop was in the town, but I didn't expect to get out of the walled house, Wu Xinyue took me to drive a country road, the further I opened, the more desolate it became, after a fog, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the country villages were scattered, so that I suddenly saw the popularity of the world.
"If I hadn't waited for you, I would have come to the village with my eldest brother this morning, my eldest brother is riding a motorcycle, this tricycle is bumpy, and I am about to vomit." Wu Xinyue jumped out of the car and complained.
She is not big, but her legs are long, and she trotted all the way towards the first family at the entrance of the village, I drove a tricycle to follow behind, and before I reached the door, I was stunned, because the family was facing us There is a white lantern hanging on the corner of the eaves, and the general storefront will not hang white lanterns, unless it is a white shop or something, but Wu Xinyue is here to get new clothes to wear on her birthday!
When the car turned to the door, I was even more surprised, because there was a red lantern hanging in the corner of the right eaves of this tailor's shop, and the whole shop was half a point, with two large glass windows open, and I could see that on the left was the shroud shop, making clothes for the dead, and on the right was the tailor's shop, making clothes for the living.
I sighed in my heart, I was really used to the people around me, and if it were me, I would rather not make clothes than come to such a store.
Wu Xinyue was very happy, jumped into the tailor's shop, shouted something in words that I couldn't understand, a hunched old woman came over, pointed to the clothes on the side of the cabinet and said something, Wu Xinyue lay on the counter to find her clothes, and gestured to her body one by one.
There are dresses, horse coats, and small shoulders, each of which is very exquisite, and it is very home when I see the tailor's craftsmanship, I am fine on the side, so I leaned on the counter and watched Wu Xinyue try on clothes, and gave her advice, and when she got the last dress, I turned my face and saw that there was a piece of clothing pressed under the dress, and I was shocked.
It was a shroud, the navy blue cloth was printed with a golden round longevity pattern, the size and size were very similar to Wu Xinyue's body shape, Wu Xinyue tried the clothes happily, and didn't notice, but I really saw it.
As I watched, the hunchbacked old tailor had taken a piece of cloth and put it over the shroud, missing me without squinting.
I couldn't understand what she was saying, she was speaking in Miao dialect, and I didn't know how to ask her, after all, this is a living business, how can I mix shrouds in, this is a very unlucky thing.
Did you take it by accident, or did you do it on purpose?
Why is the size similar to Wu Xinyue's other clothes?
The size of the clothes is very suitable in all aspects, Wu Xinyue is happy to fart, these clothes can't be taken away for the time being, and they haven't been buckled yet, so Wu Xinyue dragged me to the village to walk.
I was in a good mood, but I had something hidden in my heart at this time, and I didn't have the heart to go shopping at all, so I pulled Wu Xinyue and asked, "Xinyue, have any children passed away in the village recently?" Big like you. ”
Wu Xinyue was originally humming a little song, but when I asked this, her eyebrows suddenly rose: "Cousin, you curse me!" ”
"No, when I entered the tailor's shop just now, I glanced at the other side and saw a child's shroud, so I asked casually." I lied.
"Impossible!" Wu Xinyue was categorical, "Our children don't wear shrouds when they pass away, they are cremated directly, and then find a stout big locust tree, dig out a hole, and stuff the ashes into it, you must be lying." ”
As soon as she said this, I was even more panicked, but what do you say to a child, so I coaxed her: "That may be my mistake, my cousin didn't sleep well last night, she was dazzled, don't be angry, is there a commissary here, are you thirsty or not, I'll buy you water to drink." ”
"Really? I'll take you there. ”
In the end, I bought a bunch of snacks to coax her to her heart, and she asked me compassionately where I wanted to play, and she could take me there.
I immediately said that I wanted to go and meet the Great Wizard, after all, my grandfather used to be the Great Wizard, and my grandmother was so devoted to him, I was very curious about the identity of the Great Wizard.
But Wu Xinyue said that there is no great wizard in the clan now, and his grandfather failed to find a suitable heir before his death, and the affairs of the great wizard are handled by the witches in the clan.
"Mikoto?" I was puzzled.
"The witch is a person who specializes in divination in the clan, she is older than the second grandmother, and she has assisted her grandfather in managing the entire clan all her life, and she is very prestigious, but she looks very scary, and her health has not been very good recently, and some people in the clan say that she is dying, and she is supporting her uncle to take over the clan." Wu Xinyue's face darkened when she said this, "Actually, I heard my mother say that the eldest uncle is not suitable to be a great wizard. ”
This is naturally yes, after all, the eldest uncle is the eldest son of the grandfather, if he has talent, the grandfather will not prefer to leave the position of the great wizard empty before his death.
It is estimated that the eldest uncle also holds his breath in his heart, and when the witch dies and he succeeds in ascending to the throne, this breath can be spit out!
"Why is the mood so low all of a sudden? Don't want your uncle to be a great wizard? I asked her tentatively.
Wu Xinyue shook her head: "I don't want to, because if my uncle becomes a great wizard, my father will be even more bitter." ”
"Why? They are brothers, will he still suppress the second uncle? "I was surprised, I haven't spoken to this second uncle since I came last night, I only remember that others look deep and don't smile.
"Because, because, ah, you're so annoying, it's annoying to ask!" Wu Xinyue suddenly lost her temper and pushed me away and ran forward.
I hurriedly carried a lot of snacks and followed, for fear that she would run away, and after turning two corners, I had a meal at my feet, and not far in front of me, there was an ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is heavy, and ordinary people are not allowed to break in casually, although I went back to the Wu family, but after all, I am new to the house, if I collide with something, it will be difficult for my grandmother to do it.
Wu Xinyue had already run in, and I was standing at the door of the ancestral hall, looking at the plaque with gold paint on a black background, very hesitant.
After a while, Wu Xinyue turned back and stretched out a head from behind the door and shouted, "Don't you want to meet the witch?" Can you see it if you don't come in? ”
"Can I go in?" I asked.
"The shrine maiden let you in." With that, she turned around and ran in again.
I thought about it, and finally walked in, in the main hall of the ancestral hall, densely placed several rows of tablets, very strict, I stopped, walked over and lit a stick of incense, bowed to those tablets, and then went to the right ear room.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong and indescribable unpleasant smell, like traditional Chinese medicine, but the smell was even stronger.
There is a thick blanket on the ground, and a small square table is placed in the center, Wu Xinyue and an old man are lying on the small table for divination, I don't know divination, and my grandmother is not proficient in this aspect, so I have not been in contact.
The two of them were very serious, and when I walked over, no one looked up at me, I sat down next to Wu Xinyue, and looked at the old man opposite, and my heart suddenly sank.
The old man must be at least eighty years old, his face is full of wrinkles, and the green tendons on it are vertical and horizontal, like centipedes lying across his face, and the child is probably scared and crying when he sees it for the first time.
She was petite, wearing a black robe, her whole body was wrapped in it, and her hands dexterously fiddled with the divination tools in her hands, and when she threw them on the plate, I saw that they were three copper coins, and I immediately reacted, this is the six lines in divination.
"Ah, don't play, don't play, every time I come to you, you let me shake the copper coin, is there nothing else to have fun?" Wu Xinyue said impatiently, after all, she was only seven years old, and everything she did was hot for three minutes.
The witch sighed, "You kid just don't know what's going on. ”
She spoke hoarsely and quietly, as if someone was pinching her throat and she was trying so hard to make such a small sound.
After speaking, she turned to look at me, and there was a pair of half-black and half-white eyes in her cloudy eye sockets, which startled me, and she opened her mouth and asked, "You are Wu Erniang's granddaughter?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
She stared at me for a long time, and I knew that she must be looking at my face, and her heart was pounding, and the fortune teller didn't count herself, which was the old rule, so I never looked at my face carefully, because even if I did, I couldn't see clearly.
At this time, someone looked at me like this, but I was worried that I would be seen as bad, so I sat straight for a while, with my eyebrows low.
"Shake it." The witch picked up the three copper coins from the plate and handed them to me, her hands did not match her people, those hands were delicate and white, ten fingers like jade onions, and the slender fingertips were painted with red and black paint, I don't know what they were.
I stretched out my hand to hold the coin, and she said, "First close your hands, hold the coin, press it against your eyebrows, then concentrate on what you want to divinate the most, and then slowly shake the copper coin in your hand and throw it on the plate." ”
I did as she said, and when I put my finger on my eyebrows, I was thinking of Hu Qichen, and I wanted to take advantage of my marriage.
With apprehension, he shook the copper coin in his hand, and after a dozen strokes, he threw it on the plate.
The plate is very slippery, the copper coin is the kind of thick Five Emperor Coins, the edge has already been oily and slippery by the plate, so if you throw it down, it will either be the front or the back, but after I threw it, Wu Xinyue suddenly laughed: "Witch Granny, you also told me that it is impossible for someone to throw a vertical coin, you see, the three coins thrown by my cousin are all vertical vertical coins!" ”
The witch's face changed suddenly, and she picked up the copper coin and handed it to me: "You throw it again." ”
My heart was in my throat, I took a deep breath, repeated the previous action, and after throwing it down, Wu Xinyue leaned forward and leaned back with a smile: "Vertical money, or vertical money, witch mother, I don't believe your words anymore, it's all a lie." ”
The shrine maiden said coldly, "Throw again!" ”
I wasn't convinced, so I picked up the copper coin and repeated the action, but six times in a row, all of them were vertical coins!
After throwing it for the sixth time, Wu Xinyue laughed so much that her tears were about to come out, but before she could stop laughing, the witch spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, her face was pale, and her whole body was convulsed, and Wu Xinyue and I were petrified on the spot.
After a while, I reacted first, pulled Wu Xinyue and shouted, "Go find someone to help!" ”
Wu Xinyue swooped up and ran out, I crawled over and picked up the witch's head and pillowed it on my lap, pinching her people hard.
Soon a group of people came outside Hulala, they all spoke Miao dialect, I couldn't understand a word of the muttering, someone grabbed me, shook my hands behind my back, and controlled me.
I could have found a way to break free, but the shrine maiden vomited blood because of the results of my divination, and I was very concerned, and I wanted to stay and wait for her to wake up and explain the hexagram for me.
