Chapter 23: Rotten Peach Blossoms
I was thrilled to come to this conclusion, but then I hesitated.
Am I really going to get the word out at this time?
First of all, it's just speculation, how do I end up if there's no body or something terrible in the mound of clothes?
Secondly, if the corpse is really inside, then, what should be done with the corpse? What should I do if the body is taken away by someone with a heart?
Otherwise, just wait for Yanagawa Minami, right?
What I didn't expect was that before I could make a decision, another unexpected thing caught me off guard.
I tossed and turned that night and didn't sleep well, and as soon as it was dawn, there was a hurried knock on the courtyard door, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was a witch doctor.
The witch doctor rarely came to me in person, and his face was full of joy to cover his tiredness, and he said excitedly: "Xiaocha, hurry up and clean up the house, and we will go to the village to welcome the big savior later." β
"The big savior?" I was puzzled.
"It's really an eye-opener, and I didn't expect to be so lucky." The witch doctor smiled and said, "Yesterday I was still worried about how to get out of the village to move the rescue soldiers, but I didn't expect to talk to Lu Gushi on the phone in the evening, and accidentally learned that Beigu has been in eastern Yunnan recently, he immediately asked through an acquaintance, at first Beigu was unwilling, but when I heard that you were here, I immediately agreed to come over to help, and I could arrive before lunch." β
I was speechless for a while, and the witch doctor smiled: "Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze, we are saved." β
I just came back to my senses, my heart was very complicated, surprised, happy and contradictory, Cao Jiugu is really coming?
However, Liu Chuannan kept me away from Cao Jiugu, who should I listen to?
For a while, I began to waver a little, I had a little doubt about Liu Chuannan, and this Cao Jiugu was someone I had never come into contact with, so I had no choice but to take one step at a time.
"Well, I'll clean up, get a few dishes, and you will come to my place to eat at noon."
β¦β¦
At about half past ten, the witch doctor came to call me again, and at that time I made four dishes and one soup, all of which were hot in the pot, washed my hands and changed my clothes, and then followed the witch doctor to the entrance of the village.
Now few people will run to the mouth of the village without knowing whether they are alive or dead, and after waiting for ten minutes, there is a faint sound of ancient copper bells in the mist in the distance, and the copper bells seem to hit our hearts one by one, which is very heavy.
With each ringing of the bell, the air flow around us seemed to change, and the mist slowly dispersed and gradually disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a slender figure slowly approached, the person who came was full of white hair, neatly held behind his head, with a triangular black cloth wrapped around his head, wearing a dark national costume, stepping on embroidered shoes, his steps were very light, but he was holding a dragon-headed crutch in his hand, and the dragon's mouth was holding a hexagonal copper bell, strangely, the crutch had been hitting the ground, and after the mist dissipated, the hexagonal copper bell never rang again.
The witch doctor had already met him, but the old woman turned sideways and let him walk towards me, and in a few steps she was in front of me.
She is in good spirits, not at all like an old man in her seventies, with a pair of eagle eyes that are shining, as if she can see your essence through your eyes, and the sense of oppression that exudes from her whole body is no longer seen from my grandmother.
We looked at each other like that, looking at each other, until she suddenly opened her mouth: "You are Bai Jingmei's granddaughter?" β
I frowned, I always felt that her tone was a little stiff, and nodded: "Yes, my grandmother's name is Bai Jingmei, I don't know if it's Bai Jingmei you know." β
"Yes, your eyebrows and eyes are three points similar to hers, I won't be mistaken." She said and sighed, "Your grandmother is also stubborn, she has been gone for more than 40 years, and ten cows can't be pulled back, obviously two years younger than me, but she died tragically in front of me, it's really jealous." β
Grandma is 71 years old, this age is not big, it is not small, and it is a little strange to use the word jealousy.
I didn't speak, she stared at my eyebrows again, looked at me a few times, and said, "Son, have you been in trouble lately?" β
"Huh?" I was stopped by her cold question, and then nodded, "Yes, everything that has happened in our village lately has been very serious, which is why we invited you to come." β
Cao Jiugu shook her head: "No, I'm not talking about the village, but you, if I'm not mistaken, you should have taken the peach blossom luck recently?" β
I subconsciously scratched my eyebrows and cramped, "No, there's no such thing." β
"I can't be mistaken, there is a peach color in your life palace and evil palace, which means that you are walking peach blossom luck." Cao Jiugu unequivocally exposed me, but smacked her lips and shook her head, "Child, no matter how deep you are now, as your elder, I still want to remind you that this is a rotten peach blossom, we can't take it, it's best to strangle it in the bud, otherwise there will be endless troubles." β
"Rotten peach blossoms? How do you say that? I was beating a drum in my heart, and I subconsciously asked.
"Although there is a peach color in your life palace and evil palace, this peach color is haunted by a black gas, which means that your peach blossom is not good." Cao Jiugu carefully analyzed, "And your Yin Tang is black, faintly evil, the corners of your eyes are slightly raised, and your pupils are ...... Child, I'm afraid it's not a person who is pestering you, right? β
I didn't know how to answer, I bit my lip, and finally shook my head: "I really haven't met any rotten peach blossoms." β
Her eyes wandered from top to bottom, I quickly clenched my left hand, and put my hand behind my back without a trace, I don't know why I subconsciously didn't want Cao Jiugu to see the bone ring that Liu Chuannan gave me, maybe in my heart I still think that Liuchuan Nan is indeed good to me, right?
Cao Jiugu didn't continue to talk about this matter, and the witch doctor interjected in a timely manner on the side: "Jiugu came from afar, and our whole village should have welcomed it early, but this happened in the village......"
"It's okay, I came to help out for the sake of my old friend for many years, and I won't care about the others." Then he said to me, "Xiaocha, take me to your grandmother first." β
