Chapter 83: The Three Last Wishes of an Ordinary Old Lady
I love hearing the old lady's voice—even if the old lady is now making a ghost sound.
Of course, this is not to say that I am perverted, what kind of ghost love is going to be staged, after all, I am not Ning Caichen, and the old lady is not Nie Xiaoqian (it seems that the wife of Brother Zhan Tian, the richest man in Baichuan, is called Nie Xiaoqian, could it be that Brother Zhan Tian is the reincarnation of Ning Caichen?). Belch! Most of the similarities are coincidental). Instead, the old lady has a wish, and I can pass on the message to her relatives and fulfill her trust, and then I can obtain the merit I have always dreamed of.
However, as I listened, my expression became more and more exciting, and finally I couldn't help but laugh, but on such an occasion, how could it be ridiculous? But while smiling, I suddenly felt that this old lady was really amiable, respectable and lovely, and her posthumous entrustment was not the true epitome of our ordinary rural old mothers in China?
Thinking of this, I was in awe, quickly gathered my thoughts, and continued to listen carefully......
When the time came to half-past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, most of the people had already gone to dinner, and only the five brothers and sisters of the main family (Humpty Dumpty was the eldest and the other four golden flower sisters) were there to mourn and keep the spirit, and I could be sure that I had listened to all the old lady's wishes.
There was no need to listen any further, so I pulled the middle-aged short and fat man and his sisters to the outside of the mourning hall, ignoring their curiosity and expectations, I went straight to the point and said, "Your mother has three wishes, I hope you can help her fulfill them!" ”
When the five of them heard this, they quickly put their expressions away, and they all pretended to be the best filial sons and daughters, and listened to the heart.
"Ugh! Don't be too nervous, your mother has come to a very peaceful place, there are no big unfulfilled wishes, only three little things that need to be told. Seeing their expressions relaxed, I glanced at the eldest brother of the main family and continued: "First, is your cat called 'Xiaotuan'? It often pulls corpse rice at the bottom of the stairs in your house, so you remember to shovel it every day. ”
The eldest brother and his sisters looked at me with round eyes and looked surprised.
Needless to say, I also know that after all, they have not seen my magical means, and the legends about me must be half-believed, and now when I hear that I, a person who has no dealings with them, actually opened his mouth and called out the nickname of their kitten, how can I not be surprised?
The eldest brother of the main family had the most expression, after all, the nickname of this kitten was just started a few months ago by his son who was in elementary school, not to mention outsiders, even few people in the village knew it. Shocked, he was also relieved, because the old lady had always done the thing of shoveling cat corpse rice, and now he didn't know where this cat used to pull corpse rice!
This is a trivial matter, he naturally nodded immediately, but the eyes that looked at me not only no longer had the suspicion before, but had a little more respect.
People are like this, only you have real skills, and you can always be convincing.
It doesn't matter if he honors his mother's will or my supernatural powers. I continued, "Second, make sure to kick your dog out of the door when you go to bed at night, your mother is worried that it will bite the little group." ”
You've heard a lot of stories about cats and dogs being natural enemies, right!? It's no wonder that the two brothers of the cat and the dog, the dog brother worked a lot but was robbed of the credit by the cat, but the cat ate meat, but the dog ate bones and leftovers, and even had to eat corpse rice, how could the dog brother stand such a result? Therefore, dogs and cats have become enemies for generations, and they bite when they see them, without saying a word.
But we have two folk ways to make dogs and cats coexist peacefully. Method 1, raise adult cats and puppies, puppies are not the opponents of adult cats, since childhood afraid of growing up nature will not bare their teeth, this method is more than 90% effective; Method two, adult dogs and kittens, the first time the kitten enters the door, the owner carries it to kowtow to the dog, kowtow to the dog's eyes to soften, but if the dog has been barking, it is best to give up the cat and dog co-breeding, otherwise the owner is not careful, it must be the cat died tragically under the dog's teeth. I've seen my neighbors do this according to method 2, and cats and dogs have managed to coexist peacefully, but there are so few examples that this degree of effectiveness needs to be verified.
This question is not a big problem, and the eldest brother of the main family nodded again in agreement.
"The third question--this-that-" I was embarrassed to say, and suddenly squirmed a little.
The eldest brother of the main family and the four golden flowers were curious, what is this third question that can make me, who has been indifferent, twist? Is it a bad thing or a good thing?
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Despite the apprehension in his heart, the eldest brother of the main family gritted his teeth and said, "Say it! We're okay with anything! ”
The four golden flowers also nodded heavily, agreeing with their eldest brother's opinion.
"Ugh! It's not a serious deal! "Seeing their attitudes and grim faces, those who don't know think that the sky is about to fall! At that moment, I no longer hesitated, and looked directly at the eldest brother of the main family and said, "Big brother! What are you doing, your mother told you again and again that you must avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy food! ”
The eldest brother of the main family turned red and lowered his head embarrassedly, but thinking about the old mother's death, he remembered his body, and his nose twitched, but he cried "woo woo ......".
The four golden flowers didn't know why, and looked at their eldest brother inexplicably, this old mother passed away, what strange illness did the eldest brother have? The four of them had the heart to ask, but they felt that this occasion didn't seem to be suitable, so they had to keep it in their hearts. However, when he found that his mother's three wishes had been fulfilled, he did not mention himself and other golden flowers, and he was also secretly a little disappointed.
In fact, the eldest brother of the main family has a very ordinary disease, but it doesn't feel very elegant, so I didn't say it, anyway, I mentioned the head and he knew the end, and the meaning was on the line, how could I care about the rest?
The old lady's three wishes are ordinary and simple: cleaning, feeding chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, caring for the health of children and grandchildren, etc., but isn't this the real life portrayal of the old lady in the countryside?
After the old lady's three wishes were conveyed, I felt a tremor all over my body, and then--then there was no more, this time the merit reward was almost equal to nothing, and it was already over before Shu Tai could do it, maybe the old lady's wish was too simple, and it was easy to realize, so the reward was relatively pitiful.
Alas! Better than nothing!
Because it was already noon, and it was their meal time, and I was very hungry, I naturally went to eat with Master Li and them unceremoniously, and I will talk about the rest later.
After the meal, I said goodbye and went home, and the cousin of the eldest brother of the main family, who helped the host of the house, handed over two red envelopes, one large and one small—the big one should be my remuneration, and I feel that the thickness should be more than 500 yuan; The small red envelope is a red envelope, but anyone who comes to participate in the old lady's white wedding will have it, and you don't need to look at it to know that it is at most 10 yuan, or 2 yuan, or even 1 yuan.
I nodded and took it no matter how much, and then stepped on the "boom boom" flying bull and left.
Just as I was racing the flying ox and singing loudly "I am ...... against the cold wind" from the national highway of the Baolong Brigade into the township road of Shuangfu Town, I found that a group of people standing not far in front of me were holding big wooden bars blocking the road.
Could it be that I met "I planted this tree, I opened this road; If you want to live from now on, leave the green forest hero who bought the road money"?
But when the man at the head looked up at me, I blurted out: "I'll take the test!" It turned out to be him—"
