Chapter 52: I Can't Save Your Life
Time passed minute by minute, every second was so long, half an hour passed, a quarter of an hour passed, and when I saw that I was about to wait for an hour, a slightly rickety figure appeared in front of me with a large basket on his back, and walked slowly from the mountain road to here.
As soon as I saw this figure, I didn't mention how excited I was, and hurriedly greeted her, this person is Granny Lin, I will not admit my mistake.
Shui'er also recognized that the person was her grandmother, and ran over with a jump, saying as she ran, "Grandma...... Brother Jiuyin from Gaogang Village next door is looking for you......"
At the same time as Shui Er said this, I also came to Granny Lin, and greeted Granny Lin very respectfully, saying, "Hello Granny Lin, I came to trouble you again this time......
Granny Lin looked at me with a smile, and when he saw my face, her face suddenly darkened, and I saw that the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched slightly unnaturally, and her eyes became a little sharp, as if with a trace of panic.
Soon, Granny Lin lowered her head, reached out and stroked Shui'er's head, then sighed and said, "Young man, let's go, what happened to you, I can't help you, old woman." ”
I was stunned, what's going on? Before I could say anything about what had happened to me, she turned me down, and I didn't even have a chance to speak.
After saying this, Granny Lin walked towards her small courtyard with Shui'er, and she didn't intend to deal with me at all.
I remember the last time I came to Granny Lin's house, she has always been kind and angry, she is definitely a kind old man, why did she see me like an enemy when she saw me this time, and she wanted to drive me away directly.
I was stunned for a while, of course, I didn't want to go back like this, I followed directly behind their grandparents and grandchildren, and planned to walk towards the courtyard.
When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, Granny Lin suddenly stood at the door, grabbed the two doors with both hands, looked at me with a pair of expressionless eyes, and said coldly: "Why don't you leave?" Do you still want to stay at my wife's house for dinner? ”
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Granny Lin, I came to your house three years ago, have you forgotten?" I'm Wu Jiuyin from Gaogang Village next door, I've really been in trouble these days, Granny Lin, I know that only you can help me in this matter, if you don't help me, it is estimated that several people will die......"
"I can't help you with your business, you better ask another master, don't delay time, be careful that your life is gone."
Granny Lin still looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she was about to close the courtyard door as she spoke, but I grabbed the door frame and didn't let her close it.
As soon as I saw this situation, I immediately panicked, and almost pleaded and said: "Granny Lin, don't close the door yet, it's not too late to close the door after I finish telling you, even if I'm going to die soon, you have to let me die, right?" ”
At this time, the strength of Granny Lin's hand suddenly weakened, and she said coldly again: "You don't have to say anything, I can see what happened to you at a glance, old woman, this is your fate, you accept your fate!" ”
Why do I have to accept my fate, I am only in my early twenties, I am in the prime of my life, and I have not done anything, so I accept my fate?
I don't accept my fate, even if I want to die, I will at least save my brothers, right?
At that moment, I said again: "Granny Lin, you can ignore me, but I still have a few brothers, their lives are dying, if you don't save them, I will kneel at the door of your house and not get up, when will you agree, when will I get up." ”
As I spoke, I knelt in front of Granny Lin with a puff, and my hands still grabbed the door frame.
Granny Lin glanced down at me, shook her head, and said, "Young man, you are playing a scoundrel with my wife, if you want to kneel, kneel farther away, save yourself from dying at my doorstep, bad luck!" ”
Saying that, Granny Lin turned around and was about to leave, I panicked, and was about to kneel to walk into the yard, at this time, the little girl in Shui Er suddenly shook Granny Lin's hand, and said in a milky voice: "Grandma...... Brother is so pitiful, why don't you help him, brother is good, he was playing with Shui'er just now......"
Granny Lin's eyes suddenly became gentle, she looked down at Shui'er, shook her head helplessly, sighed, looked at me and said, "Come in, remember to close the door." ”
Ah! At this moment, my heart blossomed, and it seemed that Granny Lin was planning to help me.
I really want to thank Shui'er for saving my life at a critical moment, how can this little girl be so good, she is really a fairy sister sent from heaven to save me, why do I like you so much, I really want to hug this girl and kiss her.
It seems that my Wu Jiuyin really shouldn't die, the woman's fate is really good, even this little girl who is a little big helps me, is my Wu Jiuyin so handsome that all ages can eat?
Dispelling this shameless thought, I stood up like a good child, followed behind Granny Lin and Shui'er, and walked towards the yard, and when I left, I closed the door of the house, as for the driver waiting for me at the door, let him wait outside, anyway, I haven't given him the money yet, and he can't leave me now.
I followed Granny Lin to her slightly gloomy hut.
After walking into the house, Granny Lin didn't pay attention to me, but took down the basket she was carrying, and I took the opportunity to take a look, and saw that the basket was filled with some grass, but it didn't look like ordinary grass, it should be herbs, I really didn't expect that this Granny Lin also knows how to use medicine, and the folk are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
After removing the basket, Granny Lin first washed her hands, then walked to the statue of the Sanqing patriarch in the hall, took out three incense sticks from the incense table on the side, lit it, inserted it into the incense burner, and then knelt on the futon, and kowtowed respectfully a few times.
I don't know why, when I saw this idol, my legs also weakened a little, and my heart was in awe, and I knelt beside me and kowtowed to the idol a few times.
After doing all this, Granny Lin stood up, sat down on a small chair beside her, took a dry tobacco pot, lit it by water, and smoked it right there.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Granny Lin looked at me and said again, "I can't save your life!" ”
