Chapter 260: The Land Lord 2
Since the father-in-law of the land said so, it is not good for my grandfather to ask more.
Grandpa looked at everything in the Land Temple and asked, "As the Lord of the Land, what do you need to do all day long?" β
The father-in-law said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, and it was similar to you." β
Grandpa was surprised: "It's about the same as me?" β
"yes. Sometimes other people's children lose their souls, don't you tell them to come to me? Sometimes someone loses something, don't you tell them to come to me? Hahaha, there are a lot of things that are still up to you. The land father-in-law laughed.
Grandpa thought about it, and it was true. Those who had children in the family who were frightened, and the family did not know where the children were frightened, the grandfather persuaded them to find the land lord by the old river. Some people went out and lost something, but they couldn't remember when they lost it, and their grandfather also persuaded them to find the land lord on the old river.
The child was frightened, and the solution Daddy had already said many times.
Some people lost something and came to Daddy, and if Daddy couldn't figure out the location, he would ask them to borrow Luo Buzhai's Sheep's Horn Hexagram to go to the Land Temple for help. If you use the sheep's horn hexagram to divinate in front of the land temple, the divination method is different from the general divination method. The sheep's horn hexagram asks for three, and after praying, it is scattered on the land temple. If all three hexagrams are pounced, with the convex side facing up and the plane facing down, it means that the father-in-law of the land has no way to get the things back. If there are three hexagrams fluttering and some leaning, it means that the thing is still there, but it cannot be found for the time being, and it may be found after a while. If the three hexagrams are all up, it means that the thing is still in a certain position, and the approximate direction that the horns of the three hexagrams point to is the direction where the east and west are located. Of course, it is not possible for all three hexagrams to point in one direction, so you can find all three directions.
Grandpa apologized: "I'm so embarrassed. So I've caused you so much trouble! β
The father-in-law shook his head and said, "No trouble, no trouble." My abilities are also limited, and there are some things that I can't find. β
Daddy asked, "What else can you do besides that?" β
"I also teach newborn children to laugh." β
"Teaching a child to laugh?"
"yes. When a child is born, he will not smile. They haven't experienced anything, and they don't have any joy. So I'm going to go to every new person who has been born to teach the child to laugh. β
"I didn't expect the land lord to have this thing to do." Daddy said.
The father-in-law of the land took the opportunity to invite: "Are you interested?" If you're interested, come with me tomorrow to a house and see how I teach my children to laugh. β
Grandpa couldn't ask for it, and said, "Okay." Of course interested. β
"Then you come here tomorrow after breakfast." The father-in-law of the land said.
"Hmm." Daddy nodded. After a while, my father asked again, "Do you only teach children to laugh and not to cry?" β
The father-in-law laughed and said, "Ma Xiucai also asked this kind of question? Everyone came to this world crying, do you still need to learn? β
Grandpa patted the back of his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, I just thought that since I teach laughter, I have to teach crying, forgetting that people are born to cry." β
Grandpa chatted with the father-in-law for a while, and then said goodbye and went home.
When he stood within the threshold of the Land Temple, the moon, the trees, and the old river outside were all very large. When he stepped out of the threshold of the Land Temple, Grandpa found that the moon was still the same moon, the tree was still the same tree, and the old river was still the same old river.
The father-in-law of the land sent his grandfather to the edge of the old river bridge, and he did not send it again.
Dad returned to the door and found that the door was unbolted, but a chair was leaning behind it. With a slight push, the chair will step back and the door will open.
Grandpa returned to the house and found that Shang Ruoran was already asleep, and Mr. Bai who was lying on the floor was also asleep. Grandpa lay back on the bed lightly and slept with his clothes. He was afraid that the sound of undressing would wake Mr. Bai up.
This night, my father never slept well. Every time he just fell asleep, he heard the slight snoring of Xiaomi. He thought that Millet was coming, so he opened his eyes to look, and when he saw him, he saw Mr. Bai snoring with his eyes closed.
On the way to Baoding and back to Thrush Village, my grandfather often shared a room with Xiaomi. Xiaomi occasionally has a slight snoring sound at night when it is more tired during the day. At that time, my grandfather often woke up and saw Millet curled up like a kitten, and the breath in her nostrils made the ends of her hair move, which was quite cute.
Now that my father saw Mr. Bai sleeping on the floor, he couldn't help but think of the past, and he suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He asked in his heart, Xiaomi, Xiaomi, is your soul also sleeping in Mr. Bai's body? Is the tip of your hair still being blown by the breath? Like what I saw back then? Or have you never fallen asleep and secretly watched me inside Mr. Bai's body? When I first saw Mr. Bai, I saw your appearance, so I saw your soul, right?
After thinking about it for a while, I looked out the window again, and there was already some light, and it was almost dawn.
Grandpa thought about it and went back to sleep again. But as soon as I fell into a light sleep, countless voices sounded in my ears. The sound is all Xiaomi's voice, but not all Xiaomi's voice.
There is the voice of the childfish, and there is the voice of Xie Xiaomi. These voices are mixed in with Xiaomi's voice. Their voices were slightly different, but they were similar, and you could tell it was her when you heard it.
Ziyu said the words of two thousand years ago, gentle and elegant, shy and reserved. Xie Xiaomi's words from more than 20 years ago were slightly inferior, but he was stubborn. Millet said the angry words she said when she first came to Thrush Village, and she also said the words that were full of concern later.
But those words are intertwined, and I can't hear what Ziyu and Xie Xiaomi, as well as Xiaomi, are talking about.
There is also a relatively strange image of a little girl in Grandpa's mind. Grandpa knew that that was what Xie Xiaomi looked like after his first reincarnation. Grandpa hadn't seen it, but he used to imagine what she was really like. He painted her as he imagined her to be.
The strange little girl didn't speak, her head was lowered, and she seemed to be aggrieved. Her body was still wet, and her hair and clothes were clinging to her body.
Immediately afterwards, Ziyu, Xie Xiaomi, and Xiaomi's bodies were actually soaked, and they were dripping water.
Grandpa's heart was sour.
Thinking about it, Grandpa couldn't help but shed tears and sighed again and again.
Shang Ruoran heard his grandfather sigh again and again, so he woke up. She gently pushed her grandfather awake and asked, "Why are you crying in your dream?" β
Grandpa felt a wet piece of the pillow, and reluctantly smiled: "Don't make any noise with me, let me sleep a little longer." β
The next day, Yu Youyang screamed in surprise when he saw Mr. Bai.
She shouted like the first person to know that Mr. Bai was back, "It's back!" She's back! β
Her screams woke up her father, who had just fallen asleep.
Yu Youyang rushed to his father's bed desperately, shook his father desperately, and shouted: "Ma Xiucai! It's back! β
Grandpa tried to open his eyes, and the sunlight outside the window made him feel a little dazzledβ I barely slept at night, and my eyes were a little afraid of light. Grandpa nodded and said, "I know, I know, I brought it in last night." Thanks to Xi Que and ...... Thanks to Xi Que who sang the song for three nights. β
Yu Youyang was surprised: "You brought it in?" I thought you didn't know. β
Grandpa squinted his eyes to see where Mr. Bai was sleeping, and Mr. Bai was no longer there. Daddy asked, "Where did it go?" Daddy was a little worried that it would run away again.
Yu Youyang saw through his father's thoughts and said, "Don't worry. It won't run away anymore, and it's now basking in the sun on the threshold of the hall. β
Grandpa was relieved. Being able to bask in the sun on the threshold of the house shows that it is willing to stay here.
The look of surprise on Yu Youyang's face had not disappeared, and she said to her grandfather happily: "I have to tell Luo Buzhai about this good news!" β
Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes, you should tell him." Although he was still in a coma, he could hear and know everything that was happening at home. This incident told him to make him happy. "Pit Hua female skills.
"Uh-huh." Yu Youyang nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
After Yu Youyang went to her own room, her father got up and dressed.
At this time, Shang Ruoran walked into the room and said, "You didn't sleep last night, so you should get up later today." β
Grandpa said while dressing: "No, I have something to do today, and I have to go out to an appointment." β
Grandpa naturally remembers what he said to his father-in-law last night. He was going to see the father-in-law of the land and see how he taught the children who had not been involved in the world to laugh.
"Is breakfast ready?" Daddy asked.
Shang Ruoran said: "It'll be okay right away." β
"I'll eat first and go out first, you guys can eat together."
Shang Ruoran nodded.
Walking into the hall, my grandfather saw Mr. Bai lying lazily on the high threshold, his stomach lying together. The bamboo slipper came out at some point, running around under the threshold, and the excitement was no less than that of Yu Youyang.
Daddy couldn't help but think to himself, if only he could be a mouse. Mice often deal with cats and should be able to understand some of the cat's language.
Shang Ruoran saw his grandfather standing still in the hall, so he said, "Aren't you still going to the appointment?" Let's go have breakfast first. Now that it's back, there are plenty of opportunities to see it in the future. β
Daddy smiled comfortably, then nodded.
After breakfast, my father went to the land temple by the old river.
It's still early in the morning, and there are already people in the farmland outside, some digging ditches, some releasing water, and some just looking. When they saw their father, they greeted each other. Grandpa responded to them one by one.
Grandpa turned a corner when he walked to the old river, and then walked to the front of the Land Temple.
Next to him was an old farmer who was trimming the ridges with a hoe. The man saw his grandfather standing in front of the Land Temple, and quipped: "Ma Xiucai, do you also have something to ask for the Land Master?" β
Grandpa smiled, "Yes." β
The man laughed, thinking that his father was joking with him. Because my grandfather didn't have rice in his hand. People who come to ask for the Lord of the Land will not come here empty-handed.
Grandpa looked at the dwarf land temple. Grass grows in the cracks of the tiles on the top of the temple, moss grows on the stone steps at the entrance of the temple, the couplets on both sides of the door have faded, and the lime on the temple wall has peeled off several pieces.
The workmanship of the land father-in-law wood idol in the land temple is not very fine, the eyes are stunned, the wooden sign in his hand has cracked, and there is a spider web on the top of his head, and a small and long-legged spider stays there quietly, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door.
For a moment, Dad couldn't help but wonder if everything that happened last night was true.
