Chapter 241: Hanging Pill 2

As soon as I heard this "medicine introduction", my grandmother and my grandfather were also embarrassed. (Full text without ads)

My grandfather said: "We don't have meat at home, it's not as good as the previous two years, and we haven't eaten meat during the New Year, so where can we find meat at this time." ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded when he heard this, it seems that their family has not been able to eat meat during the New Year.

My grandmother asked Zhang Langzhong: "Is it all meat?" Zhang Langzhong nodded again. My grandmother turned to my grandfather and said, "Aren't there hares in the mountains, we had a meal of rabbit meat at your friend's house two days ago." ”

My grandfather said, "It depends on the time, where to find someone to hunt the rabbit in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that before the rabbit comes, the child will die." ”

When my grandmother heard this, she frowned. After a pause, my grandfather said, "There is an old owl's nest on the old tung tree in the south of our village, I will go and wake up Xiao Shun'er and ask him to dig out the old owl's nest." "When my grandmother heard this, he could only do this, and my grandfather went out on crutches.

At this time, it was about two o'clock in the morning, and it was not only cold and dark outside, but also silent.

After about an hour, my grandfather came back, limping through the door on crutches, carrying in his hand an old eagle whose feathers were about to fall off. The old eagle was carried by my grandfather with wings in his hands, but he didn't even earn a little, and he looked weak. My grandmother could see that it was an old bird.

When my grandfather entered the house, he threw the eagle directly on the ground and said, "The young ones in the eagle's nest have all flown away, and they have caught an old fellow who can't fly." ”

The old eagle, that is, the crow.

My grandmother glanced at the old eagles on the ground, and without even flapping the edges, she looked at them pitifully with the few feathers she had left.

My grandfather found a knife and a porcelain bowl, and bent down to pick up the old eagle on the ground, which was about to cut his throat and bleed.

At this time, my grandmother suddenly remembered a story that my great-grandmother told her when she was a child, "the crow feeds back", although those old eagles are an unlucky bird, but they know filial piety better than some people, how can they let those old eagles lose their mother, and immediately couldn't bear it.

My grandmother bit her lower lip and walked over to stop my grandfather, "Don't kill this old eagle, tell Xiaoshun to put it back in the nest." ”

My grandfather was stunned and asked my grandmother, "What about the meat?" ”

My grandmother snatched the knife from my grandfather's hand and said, "Leave it alone, just send the eagle back." ”

My grandfather was very disappointed, so he took the old eagle and went to find Xiaoshun again.

After my grandfather left, my grandmother smiled at Zhang Langzhong and handed the girl in her arms to Zhang Langzhong, "You can help me hug it first." ”

Zhang Langzhong didn't know what my grandmother was going to do, so he reached out to take the child, and my grandmother turned around and walked into the back room with a knife......

Half an hour later, my grandmother limped out of the back room, and in her hand there was an extra white cloth. My grandmother walked up to Zhang Langzhong, took the girl from his arms, and handed him the white cloth ball.

Zhang Langzhong took the cloth ball and opened it to see that it was a piece of bloody meat, Zhang Langzhong looked at the meat in the cloth ball, and then looked at it...... Look at my grandmother's limping leg......

"Bai Xiangu, you, you ......" Zhang Langzhong's lips and hands trembled: "Bai Xiangu, you...... You are really a living bodhisattva of great benevolence and righteousness......" After speaking, Zhang Langzhong's tears flowed.

When the sky was bright, Zhang Langzhong boiled the medicine well, from the beginning of boiling the medicine to the time the medicine was boiled, Zhang Langzhong's eyes were always wet.

My grandmother was holding the little girl, my grandfather used chopsticks to pry open the little girl's mouth, Zhang Langzhong took a small spoon to feed her medicine, and while feeding, he choked up and said, "Child, wake up after drinking the medicine, or ...... You can't stop the white fairy girl......"

A few days later, the story of my grandmother who cut meat to save the girl spread in the village, and the whole village was moved and admired by my grandmother's righteous act, and at the same time, the people in the village also knew that the grandfather's family was the famous Liu family on the side of the Yellow River......

A month later, some old people in the village pooled money to send a plaque to my grandfather's family, which read: Inherit the will of the ancestors and study forever......

That night, the girl miraculously woke up, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to Zhang Langzhong to see, Zhang Langzhong said, this is my grandmother's righteous act that touched God......

Before Zhang Langzhong left, he left a large bag of knife medicine for my grandmother.

Five days later, the girl fully recovered under the careful care of my grandmother, and the wound on my grandmother's leg also scabbed. My grandfather caught up with the donkey cart, and my grandmother held the little girl and came to Lao Xue's house in East Village again.

However, before he arrived at the door of Lao Xue's house, he saw a group of people surrounding the door, as if something had happened to Lao Xue's house. The donkey cart soon came to the door and stopped, and my grandmother got out of the car with the girl in her arms and walked to the door to ask.

It turned out that Old Man Xue hanged himself on the beam of the hall three days ago. My grandmother's mood immediately became very heavy, and she walked into the courtyard with the girl in her arms and saw that the yard was also full of people, and the crooked-necked date tree was still lying on the wall of the hall, as if to tell people that the family was down.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a thin-skinned coffin, and at the head of the coffin, there is a brazier, which is boiling and burning, and two people in filial piety clothes are kneeling in front of the brazier and are adding yellow paper to it.

My grandmother bypassed the crowd and turned to the front of the two to take a look, not surprisingly, it was Old Man Xue's daughter and son-in-law, and then looked into the courtyard, only the two of them were wearing filial piety clothes, and Old Man Xue's daughters-in-law didn't seem to be there.

At this time, Old Man Xue's son-in-law looked up coldly, found my grandmother, hurriedly got up from the ground, and invited my grandmother into the side room.

In the side room, the son-in-law asked my grandmother with a sad face, "Bai Xiangu, are these evil things over my father-in-law?" ”

My grandmother nodded and replied, "It's okay, these are all caused by the mother and daughter before, and I sent the mother and daughter away a few days ago." ”

Old man Xue's son-in-law was suspicious, and asked, "Then why did my father-in-law hang himself?" ”

My grandmother was silent, paused for a while, sighed and said, "You also saw him when he used an axe to cut the jujube tree that day, but in fact, he is not having trouble with the jujube tree......"

Hearing my grandmother say this, the son-in-law was stunned for a moment, but he seemed to quickly understand what my grandmother meant, nodded slightly, and probably felt that there was nothing more to tell my grandmother, and as soon as he turned around, he was about to leave the side house. My grandmother hurriedly stopped him and asked, "How is the fourth child now?" ”

The son-in-law shook his head and replied: "I sent it to the city public security bureau, I heard that it will be regarded as a 'typical' trial meeting, and when the trial meeting is over, he will be shot." ”

My grandmother sighed, "What about his daughter-in-law?" ”

The son-in-law shook his head again, "I don't know, maybe I'll go back to my parents' house." ”

This son-in-law said this, which made my grandmother embarrassed, in fact, she came to Lao Xue's house this time, mainly to see off this girl, and my grandmother asked again: "Where is her mother's house?" ”

The son-in-law thought about it for a while, and told my grandmother a place, a small village in the northeast, which was quite far away, and it took two days and two nights to drive a donkey cart.

My grandmother wanted to leave the little girl behind and let Old Man Xue's daughter take it first, after all, they were blood relatives, but this son-in-law refused to accept it. My grandmother's eyes were sharp, and she could see that it was not because this son-in-law's family could not afford to raise a girl, but because she was afraid that this little girl would also have evil spirits on her body, and she was afraid that she would bring evil spirits to their house again.

In the end, my grandmother left Xue's house with the girl, and that night, my grandmother prepared dry food and water for several days overnight.

Early the next morning, my grandmother held the little girl, and my grandfather drove the donkey cart to the mother's house of Xue Lao's fourth daughter-in-law.

It was a poor ravine, and the poor pants were leaking from the knees. My grandmother and grandfather inquired in the village, and then they learned that Xue Laosi's daughter-in-law was exchanged for a small bag of white noodles by their parents to the Xue family, and Xue Laosi's daughter-in-law has never returned to her parents' house since she married Xue Laosi, and there is basically no family relationship with her mother's family.

Later, I went to Xue Lao's fourth daughter-in-law's mother's house to see, it couldn't be called "home" at all, there was not even a decent house, the whole family lived in a thatched shack, except for Xue's fourth daughter-in-law's parents, the others were all her younger brothers and sisters, some big and some small, all of them were ragged and yellow-skinned.

When I asked her father, it turned out that Xue Laosi's daughter-in-law had not returned to her parents' house at all, and then looked at the situation in their home, my grandmother couldn't bear to leave the girl in that shack to starve, so she came back with the girl in her arms.

In the next half a month, my grandmother found the girl's mother in these ten miles and eight villages, and even asked several apprentices of Xinyangzi to go down the mountain to look for her. However, it was as if the mother had disappeared from the world, and there was no news of her.

Just when my grandmother was about to go further away to look for the child's mother, late that night, my grandmother was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt as if she was blowing a cool breath in her neck, and she was cold and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, a ten-year-old woman in a red dress was standing in front of the bed with a smile, behind the woman, flickering with a big tail.

My grandmother, of course, knew who she was, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed to salute the woman.

After my grandmother kowtowed to the woman in the red dress, the woman in red pulled my grandmother up from the ground and said to my grandmother in a soft voice: "That little girl's mother, I don't think you should look for it, even if you look for it for a lifetime, I'm afraid you won't find it." Saying that, the woman in the red dress naughtily winked at my grandmother twice, tilted her head, and said: "This girl owes your Liu family in her last life, and she has come to repay you in this life, and when her own daughter raises her, it will be of great use......

My grandmother was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "What's the use?" ”

The woman in red smiled at my grandmother very charmingly and said, "Don't divulge the secret...... Oh yes, you let that girl follow your surname Bai, this girl was originally called Xue Xiaomei, and she will be called Bai Xiaomei if she follows you in the future. ”

"Why?" My grandmother asked.

The woman in the red group did not answer why. However, I know why, because since the beginning of my grandfather's life, our family is destined to be in a single line, and one more child surnamed Liu will not be able to support it, and this has been fully verified by my generation!!
