Chapter 3 Tobacco Blacksmith 1

But not long after the millet was buried, once I accidentally saw my grandfather sneakily going to the back garden with crutches, and he stood in the place where the millet was buried and whispered to Xiaomi as "grandma". 【Crossing the Wheel】

Is Xiaomi daddy's grandma? I was shocked and scared.

"Grandma, you should be wronged first." Grandpa only said that, stood for a while and then turned to leave.

I hurriedly slipped away before Daddy came out.

My grandfather said that Millet had taken the souls of several other children from the nearby village before coming to me, but she had not taken the children from Thrush Village.

I asked my grandfather, didn't she dare to come to Thrush Village before?

Grandpa said, no, she came, but that time it failed.

The person who made her fail was none other than my grandfather. This just confirmed my suspicion after seeing the scene in the backyard - they had known each other for a long time.

The child that her father rescued from her was nicknamed Changsha Piglet.

The reason why this child is called Changsha Pig Cub is because of what he has experienced.

I've seen Changsha piglets many times. His house is not far from my grandfather's house, and he is only two years older than me, so every time I come to my grandfather's house, he will come and play with me. His grandfather and mother called him a Changsha piglet, and his own parents called him the same. Every time he played with me and forgot the time to eat, his mother would run to him and shout, "Changsha piglets, come home and eat!" Therefore, I also followed him to do "~a~book~read~ novel ybdu Changsha piglet", and later forgot his real name.

When the Changsha piglet was more than four years old, he also met Xiaomi.

The mother of the Changsha piglet said that she blamed her that time. After eating at noon that day, she went to someone else's house to play mahjong and put the Changsha piglets at home alone.

By the time the mahjong ended, it was already evening. When she returned to the house, she saw the Changsha piglet having a good time alone. She didn't care, and went to the kitchen to wash rice and prepare for dinner.

While she was washing rice, she heard the Changsha piglets seem to be talking to someone. She thought it was the father of the Changsha piglet who had returned from work. She hurriedly walked out, only to find that there was no one else in the house except herself and the Changsha piglet.

She asked her son curiously, "Who did you just talk to?" ”

Her son replied, "Millet." ”

She hadn't heard of a child named Millet in the village, so she asked, "Where is Millet?" ”

Her son replied, "Millet is hiding." ”

"What is she hiding?"

"She's playing peek-a-boo with me." Her son giggled happily as he ran from room to room as he spoke. But her son was the only one running around the whole time.

She thought to herself that maybe someone else's relative's child had come here to play, but she didn't care, and went back to the kitchen to chop vegetables.

At dinner in the evening, the mother of the Changsha piglet found that the Changsha piglet tasted bad and did not want to eat. She asked the Changsha pig cub if he was uncomfortable, and the Changsha pig cub was silent.

When the father of the Changsha pig cub saw that the Changsha pig cub's eyes were blank, he asked, "Does he want to sleep?" ”

She shook the sand piglet's shoulder and asked, "Do you want to sleep?" ”

The Changsha pig cub was still silent, and his expression was sad.

She pushed away her son and daughter-in-law, squatted in front of her grandson, touched her grandson's ears, and found that her ears were wilting, and then touched her grandson's hair, and found that her hair was a little sticky, and then said: "This child may have left home!" ”

"Left?" The parents of the Changsha piglets don't understand what this means.

Grandma asked, "Did you notice anything unusual about the child in the afternoon?" ”

The mother of the Changsha piglet thought about it for a while, and then she felt that the scene of the Changsha piglet playing alone was a little weird. She didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told what she had seen in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Grandma clapped her hands vigorously and said, "Oh no! The child's soul was taken away by Xiaomi! ”

The mother of the Changsha piglet asked in surprise, "Who is Xiaomi?" ”

Grandma sighed and said, "How do I know who Millet is?" The child said that he was playing with Xiaomi, and Xiaomi must be a ghost who specializes in deceiving children's souls. ”

The parents of the Changsha piglet suddenly lost their minds and hurriedly asked their grandmother what to do.

The grandmother immediately picked up the Changsha piglet and walked out.

The parents of the Changsha piglets looked at each other, and then asked, "Mom, where are you going?" ”

Grandma said: "Go to Lao Xiucai's house, maybe the child can still be saved!" ”

Grandpa is a talent in the previous dynasty, if it weren't for Grandpa's father's obstruction, Grandpa might have been admitted to the Lifter easily. Most of the old people in the village call their grandfather Lao Xiucai.

After the grandmother of the Changsha piglet carried him to his father's house, the father checked the hair, ears, eyes and fingers of the Changsha piglet, and said, "The child's soul has indeed left home." His hair is sticky, his ears are wilted, his eyes are dull, and his fingers are wrinkled, all of which are signs of being out of the house. ”

The mother of the Changsha piglet closed her eyes, and the person fell to the ground like a tree that had been cut down suddenly. His father hurried to hold her.

"Is there a way to get the soul back?" His grandmother looked at his father with eager eyes.

At that time, my grandfather's health was not bad, he waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, I found it early." If the rooster crows past tomorrow morning, no matter how powerful I am, I won't be able to bring his soul back. ”

His grandmother grabbed his father with a pair of hands as thin as a bird's claws, trembling and said, "That's still saved, isn't it?" ”

Daddy said, "Yes." Don't get excited, tell me the child's birthday first, and then take a pair of scissors to cut off the child's ten fingernails and ten toenails, and then cut a handful of hair on the top of the head. Cut it for me. ”

The grandmother of the Changsha piglet hurriedly did as her father instructed.

Grandpa found a piece of red cloth and used a brush to write the birthday of the Changsha piglet. After his grandmother had brought his fingernails and toenails and hair, his father wrapped them in a red cloth.

Grandpa handed the red cloth bag to the grandmother of the Changsha piglet, and said, "Take this to the blacksmith's house, and secretly throw this thing into the iron-burning furnace and burn it." It's best not to let the blacksmith know, this thing will deform the iron he hits, and he will be angry. But doing so will keep your grandchildren safe. ”

So, the grandmother of the Changsha piglet went to the blacksmith's house with a red cloth bag.

The blacksmith also had to do farm work during the day, and the work of burning iron, making hoes, sickles, and raking teeth could only be done after dinner. Therefore, it was not too late for the grandmother of the Changsha piglet to go. The blacksmith was clanging in his house. The grandmother of the Changsha piglet secretly threw the red cloth bag into the blacksmith's furnace according to his father's instructions.

Iron can be burned into molten iron, and the temperature of the furnace is naturally very high. As soon as the red cloth bag was thrown in, it immediately burned through and quickly turned into powder.

The grandmother of the Changsha piglet has just returned from the blacksmith, and the Changsha piglet is already much better. His eyes gradually lit up, his hair fell apart, his fingers became full, and his ears returned to normal.

When the Changsha pig cub saw his grandmother come in, he shouted "grandma".

His grandmother immediately pounced on him, hugged him and shook him and shouted, "My heart is sharp! You're back! She wept profusely.

His parents also cried and thanked his father.

His grandmother hugged him and cried for a while before letting go of her hand, and then asked, "You tell grandma, where did you just go?" ”

The Changsha piglet said: "Millet took a few of my children to play in the pigsty for a while. ”

"What are you going to play in the pigsty?" Grandma asked.

"Peek-a-boo. Millet told us to hide under the belly of the pig. Changsha piglet said.

The words of the Changsha piglet seemed to call the father, and the father hurriedly asked the grandmother of the Changsha piglet: "Are the pigs in your pigsty about to give birth to piglets?" ”

The grandmother of the Changsha piglet said, "Yes. The belly is already round and round, and it is estimated that it will be slaughtered in the next few days. "Slaughter is the meaning of the pig woman and the piglet.

Grandpa turned his head and asked the Changsha piglets: "You said how many children there are, how many are they?" ”

The Changsha pig cub counted with his fingers and said, "Eight." ”

Grandpa asked, "Does eight count as you and Xiaomi?" ”

The Changsha piglet nodded and said, "Count." ”

"Do you know any other kids?"

"I don't know."

Grandpa sighed: "There are still six children who can't be saved!" ”

The grandmother, who knew the righteousness, hurriedly said: "Lao Xiucai, as long as you can save other children, my pig wife will be fine if she gives birth to piglets or not." I don't care about the money. ”

Grandpa shook his head and said, "It's useless." The other children could only be rescued in the same way, but no one knew whose family those children belonged to, and they couldn't get their birthdays. Even if they get their birthdays, there are not so many blacksmiths and so many stoves. If you throw several red cloth bags into a stove, the stove will go out. ”
