Chapter 59 The Hexagram Room is a Great World
"We reported the situation to the government, and the government sent someone down to investigate, saying that it was a thief, and let us strengthen our precautions. We organized young people to squat in batches for a few points, and the cattle and sheep were still lost, or they were lost under the noses of the people who squatted. ”
A middle-aged man in his forties said:
Later, several cow carcasses were found in the gourd ditch in the west of the village, with marks of animal bites, but strangely, these corpses were drained of blood before being bitten.
"Judging from a relatively complete corpse, the fatal wound was in the throat, and many people were looking for it, including hunters, god mothers, and mothers, all of whom could not be seen.
"When we heard about your powers, we wanted you to do the math and see what it was. We're also on guard. If you can break it, that's great. We pay for the hexagram with the money of a cow. ”
A cow can get two taels of silver, which is indeed a big temptation for Qi Xiaoting. However, what is it, whether she can break it or not, she really has no bottom in her heart, so she has to truthfully transmit the sound of Long Yi.
"Go and see," Long Yi said, "You can only tell if you look at the real thing." It's a great learning opportunity for you. ”
"Okay then," Qi Xiaoting said to the visitors, "Didn't you say that you only lost your livestock at night, I went to your village tonight and arrived at night." ”
"We'll arrange for the next car to pick you up." A farmer said.
"No, I don't. You tell me the directions and the signs outside the village, and I'll go by myself. ”
Qi Xiaoting is used to walking at night, and she can walk faster than a carriage alone. It is not enough to make an ox cart to kill her.
When the villagers saw her insistence, they knew that she had divine powers, and she couldn't keep the sword flying, so they didn't insist on their opinions.
"My name is Yi Hengchang, and I am the village head. You can go to the village and ask for my name or find the village committee. The middle-aged man who spoke just now said. He told Qi Xiaoting the route to Yijiatun and the sign of the village head, and led the people back happily.
Immediately afterwards, sat down in front of a middle-aged woman who described her as withered. But I saw that her cheekbones were high, her eye sockets were deep, and her hands were skinny. It's no different from Qi Xiaoting refining the Hellfire when she woke up.
Sympathizing with the same disease, Qi Xiaoting only glanced at it, and then gave birth to a trace of pity.
"Sir, I haven't closed my eyes for more than ten days." The woman said weakly: "My husband died ten years ago, and my daughter and I depend on each other. Recently, every night when I go to bed, I dream that the door of the house opens by itself for no reason, and then floats in a furnace for alchemy.
"There was a guy in the stove who couldn't see clearly, a bit like my husband. The man struggled in agony in the furnace, and at last it burned to the skeleton.
"Then the stove came and burned me, and every now and then I would be woken up and I could not sleep again. It's like this every night, as soon as I fall asleep, I have this dream, and I don't dare to sleep now
"It's okay for me to have such dreams alone, and in recent days, my twelve-year-old daughter has often had nightmares about someone setting fire to her. After waking up, our mother and daughter sat silently in each other's arms until dawn. ”
"You didn't look for a god mother to exorcise evil spirits?"
Riddled with nightmares, either there are ghosts in my heart, or ghosts and demons are doing things. These are the duties of witches and gods. Qi Xiaoting is not a little shallow in the road, and she doesn't dare to get involved in this aspect. What's more, he's a fortune teller, and he's just a mouthpiece.
"I've found it, I've searched all the gods and mothers who can find it, and no one can solve my problem." The middle-aged woman said pitifully:
"That day I saw you planting a peach tree, and I knew that you were doing the right thing, so I came to you. See how to solve my nightmare and my daughter's nightmare? ”
There is no way, the blame is self-inflicted. Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to ask the other party's birthday, tell Long Yi, and then pinched her fingers and waited for Long Yi to speak.
"This woman has a background." Long Yi said, "To find out the root of her nightmare, you need to go to her house. ”
Sky! Isn't this really a witch god?
Qi Xiaoting had a lined stomach, and asked her home address and relevant information.
"My name is Yan Lanzhu, my husband's surname is Jing, and people call me Jing's sister-in-law. Now he lives in Xinjia Village. There is me and my daughter Jing Cuihua at home, a nanny, and the three of us are usually at home. ”
"Who else is in your mother's family?" Qi Xiaoting asked.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door. Although she is a woman dressed as a man, she will be gossiped about when she is alone with widows and ladies. Especially bad for the other party.
"My mother's house is far away from here, and there is no one left."
"To solve your nightmare, visit your house. Look, can you find a man at home, and run errands if you have anything! Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to say euphemistically.
Sister-in-law Jing's face was embarrassed, how could she not guess the meaning of Qi Xiaoting's words! After thinking about it, he said, "The nanny's husband is working elsewhere, you are going, and I asked the nanny to call him back." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Yes." ”
Sister-in-law Jing's face was happy: "Then, you, when are you going?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "When will your nanny's husband come back?" ”
Sister-in-law Jing: "I'll ask Aunt Mei early tomorrow morning, oh, it's the nanny, to call him, if there are no special circumstances, he can come back tomorrow afternoon." ”
Qi Xiaoting looked at her tired face and said, "I just took over another business, and I have already told people about it." I'll give you two talismans to stick in the room where you and your daughter are sleeping, and get a good night's sleep. I'll go over tomorrow afternoon. ”
Sister-in-law Jing nodded, put down the twenty yuan, and left with the talisman.
At this time, it was already sunset, and Qi Xiaoting wanted to put away the hexagram curtain and end the busy day. Three more women walked in at the gate, all frowning.
"Three sisters-in-law tell fortunes?" Qi Xiaoting asked politely.
The person who came was the food and clothing parents, and Qi Xiaoting didn't want to snub every customer.
"Uh-huh. Master, do you think we can stay at my in-laws' house? ”
One of the older women said.
Qi Xiaoting: "Oh, tell me why I can't stay." ”
"That's right," said the woman who had just spoken, pointing to the other two, "we are concubines, I am the eldest, she is the second, and she is the third." Now that there is no life in the field and it is snowing heavily, we want to stay at our mother's house for a few days.
"When I told my husband, my husband didn't agree at first, but then he agreed, but he asked for a strange thing: let us go together and say to us: 'The old family will stay at their mother's house for three or five days, the second family will live in their mother's house for seven or eight days, and the third family will live at their mother's house for half a month. Leave the same day and come back the same day. When they came back, the old family brought a bag of meat and bones from their mother's house, the second family brought blue bone and meat from their mother's house, and the third family brought a paper bag from their mother's house. If you don't bring the right thing or come early or late, you are not allowed to stay at your in-law's house anymore. ”
It turned out that they were the daughters-in-law of the Zhang Beigu family in Yujia Town. The husband Zhang Bei has a strange temper, thinking that the daughter-in-law is the one who waits for her in-laws, and no matter how busy she is with farm work, she should live in her mother-in-law's house and be called by her mother-in-law's family.
As soon as I heard that they were going to live in their mother's house, my heart was not happy. But the daughters-in-law were tired and busy for a year, and it was difficult not to agree, so they used this method to make things difficult for them.
The daughter-in-law of the third room is uneducated, and she can't guess her husband's heart. However, the sentence "I am not allowed to live here anymore" is really scary.
Because their father-in-law and mother-in-law treat them badly on weekdays, they will scold them whenever they have something wrong, and threaten to divorce them. The three of them lived in fear all year round.
Looks like we're going to get real this time. If she is really taken back, this is the greatest shame in a woman's life, and what face will she live in the world in the future!
The three of them were sorrowful and tearful. You look at me, I look at you, no one can come up with an idea. The old man said: "Let's go to the half-immortal who just came, let him calculate a hexagram, count the days, and guess what the things are." ”
The other two thought they could, so they came together and asked for help.
Qi Xiaoting listened to them explain the reason, so she said to them:
"Since your father-in-law told you to come on the same day, he gave you half a month's leave. You think, the third family is half a moon, the second family is seven or eight days, and seven plus eight is exactly fifteen. The old family is three or five days, three times five equals fifteen, so a calculation, not all half a month. If you want to leave on the same day and come back on the same day, it's definitely not the same.
"As for the meat and bones, it's actually red dates. Jujube is flesh on the outside and core on the inside, not like meat wrapped in bones; Bone-wrapped meat is a hard-boiled egg. The skin of the eggs is hard, and the egg whites and yolks inside are solidified, much like meat. Paper-wrapped fire is a lantern of paper paste. The outside of the lantern is paper, and the inside is fire, isn't it like a paper wrap on fire? Half a month later, you will each bring this and see what your husband says. ”
"I see!"
The three of them said in unison. took what Qi Xiaoting said to heart, put down the twenty yuan, and left happily.
Qi Xiaoting couldn't cry or laugh: It's really the people, hundreds of people. A hexagram stall is a vast world, and all kinds of people and things can be encountered. It's no wonder that so many people are addicted to this industry, and in addition to making a living, they can really get in touch with something new.
When he entered the space, Ryuichi had already made dinner. I cooked a pot of tender corn and red date porridge, fried a plate of cowpea and lettuce slices, lettuce leaves dipped in sauce, and a plate of pre-cooked spiced peanuts.
They are all Xiyang products, and the fried vegetable oil is also squeezed out of peanuts, soybeans, and sunflower seeds produced by Longyi with Xiyang. "What I have is time anyway," he said. We're just starting out, and we're trying not to spend as much money as we can. ”
"I'm tired today." Qi Xiaoting complained while eating: "It's more tiring than walking for a day, and my mouth hasn't been idle for a day." ”
"That's the difference between being famous and being famous." Long Yi smiled: "You are so good to be a celebrity!" ”
"I make a lot of money." Qi Xiaoting said, glancing at a handful of money on the table: "Jiao Na hasn't shown up for a day, and I don't know where to live at night, I really want to send her some money." ”
Usually three people eat together, but there is one less at first glance, and Qi Xiaoting really can't accept it. Although Jiaona is arrogant, she is still a child after all, and she is Ryuichi's own niece. Qi Xiaoting took pity on her.
