Chapter 76: Visiting Uncle He

"Big sister, if you have anything, just say it," Uncle He asked, looking at the middle-aged woman.

"Master, that's right, the year before last there was a man in my house who asked for food, and this one was deaf and dumb, and his face seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, and his whole face was disfigured, and he looked very ugly. I have been kind-hearted since I was a child, so I made him a hot meal, and then took a set of my man's clothes and changed it to him, since then this one has relied on my house and not left, I have pushed him several times and he just doesn't leave, this one helps me carry water and chop wood every day, there is an orchard in the mountain behind my house, he also helps me take care of the orchard, I have to say that this person who wants food is really good at work, so I left him to work, I provide him with food and shelter" The middle-aged woman said to Uncle He.

"You left this for food, does your man agree?" Uncle He asked the middle-aged woman very much, and the question that Uncle He asked was also what I wanted to ask.

"Don't hide from the master, my man has been out to work for three years, my man has not heard from me in the past three years, he has not made a phone call to the family, the neighbors say that my man may have someone outside, I don't believe it, he cares about me very much, he cares about this family very much, he cares about our children, although I took in this person who asks for food, there are many people who gossip about us, but I have never done anything sorry for my man" The middle-aged woman cried when she said this, she cried very aggrieved, I listened to her cry, I also felt a little sorry for her in my heart.

"Big sister, don't cry, you go on first," Uncle He took out a bag of facial tissues from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

"This year, in July, the one who asked for food was the same as usual, he carried the medicine pot on his back and went up the mountain to spray the fruit trees, he just left for a while, it rained heavily, I thought he would soon come down from the mountain, but I waited for him at home for three hours and did not see him go down the mountain, I thought in my heart that he might find a place to shelter from the rain, and after the heavy rain stopped, the person who asked for food had not yet come down the mountain, I was a little anxious at this time, so I put on water shoes and went up the mountain to find this one to eat, I went up the mountain to look around and didn't find the person who asked for food, and after two days the person who asked for food did not appear, I thought that he might be gone, and on the third day, my neighbor found the body of the person who asked for food in a small river in the mountain behind our house, and I was very sad at that time, because I didn't know where the home was, I took it upon myself to bury his body in the orchard in the back mountain of our house. The middle-aged young woman said to Uncle He while wiping her tears.

"And then? You go on," Uncle He continued.

"The next thing I'm going to tell you is a bit evil, in recent times, the apples on the fruit trees in the mountains behind my house are ripe, I have to get up early every day to pick apples, and when the apples are ripe, I will give the child to my mother and let her bring, because I can't take care of my son when I'm busy, I picked about 20 bags of apples on the first day, I picked it by myself and was more tired, I ate two mouthfuls of cold rice at night and fell asleep on the kang, when I got up the next morning, I found that there were more than 30 bags of apples in the yard in addition to the 20 bags of apples I picked, when I thought it was our neighbor who helped me pick it, I went to ask my neighbor if they helped me pick the apples, they all said no, originally I had to pick the apples in our back mountain orchard for ten days by myself, but in the end I picked the apples in our orchard in less than five days, I have been wondering who helped me pick them, just in these few days, when I wake up every morning, I will see a clean apple next to my pillow, the door of my house is locked, no one can come in, and my son has not come home from my mother's place, I told the neighbors about it, the neighbors said that I may have hit a ghost, they said that the ghost I hit may be the one who asked for food, after listening to their words, I was scared and didn't sleep much for two days, so I came to the master today to help me solve it" The middle-aged woman's face was a little pale when she said this, I could see that she was very frightened in her heart, If this thing is going to be scared of the old man, let alone a left-behind woman.

"This is really a bit strange, so let's do it, you give me the address of your house, and I'll go over and help you take a look at it at night," Uncle He said to the middle-aged woman.

"Okay, master, I'll write it to you," the middle-aged woman picked up a pen on the table, wrote her home address and her phone number on a blank piece of paper, and handed it to Uncle He.

"What's your last name?" Uncle He continued to ask the middle-aged woman.

"My surname is Li, Muzi Li, and my name is Li Hong" The middle-aged woman introduced her name to Uncle He, and the name Li Hong was full of rural atmosphere, and also echoed the names of people in the seventies.

"Okay, I know, you go back and wait for me first, I'll go over in the afternoon" Uncle He looked at the address Li Hong gave him and said to Li Hong.

"Master, you must go in the afternoon," Li Hong said to Uncle He with red eyes when she was leaving.

"Don't worry, Ms. Li, I will definitely go," Uncle He nodded and said to Li Hong.

"Then I'll go, master," Li Hong said and left silently.

"Senior nephew, I came very early today" Uncle He politely talked to me while making tea for me, I thought to myself that if my master was half as good as Uncle He, I would be content.

"Ang, school is on holiday today, so I came early, my master is not here yet" I looked at the empty hall opposite the door and said to Uncle He.

"When I got up at six o'clock in the morning, I saw Jiang Lao Er and he went out in a hurry, and I don't know what this old guy is doing?" Uncle He sat next to me and said with a smile.

"Uncle He, I have something I want to ask you," I said to Uncle He.

"What's the matter, you can tell it, if I knew, I would definitely tell you" Uncle He looked at me with a smile on his face and asked.

"Uncle He, do you know how to draw talismans?" I asked Uncle He.

"Of course I understand, I'm also a disciple of the Maoshan faction, and what the Maoshan faction relies on is the talisman, what's wrong?" Uncle He asked me suspiciously.

"That's good, what I want to ask you is, why do I feel that the pen in my hand will not be able to lift it when I draw the primary talisman, and then my body is tired and sweating, but if I rest for a while and draw again, I will not have the same feeling as before" I looked at Uncle He and asked suspiciously.

"This is very easy to explain, when you concentrate on drawing talismans, it will consume the Taoist true qi in your body, when your Taoist true qi consumption is about the same, there will be the feeling that you just said that you can't lift the pen, you have to rest for a while to recover the Taoist true qi in the body before you can continue to draw the talisman, according to your current situation, you can only draw a simple primary talisman, if you draw an intermediate talisman, you will also have the feeling of not being able to lift the pen" Uncle He explained to me in detail, and Uncle He's explanation is also easy to understand, I patiently asked my master about this before, but the master was angry and fooled me and hung up the phone.
