He Angelica said alarmistly: "If this person is not removed, our Luo family will be cut off!" ”

"How so?" The old lady asked in a panic, "Didn't you say that our Luo family would have a happy event coming soon?" ”

He Angelica nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, my grandfather said that as soon as this person is removed, the Luo family will soon have a happy event; If this person is not removed, the Luo family will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and it will be difficult for his grandfather to have peace under Jiuquan! ”

When the old lady heard this, she asked sneeringly, "Who?" Who is that person? ”

He Angelica poked the face of the sunny day doll and said: "This doll was made by my grandfather, it is said that in ancient times when there was a war in the northwest region, the wife would hang one under the eaves of the house, and let the husband carry one, one represents the wife's thoughts about her husband, and the other represents the wife's blessing to her husband." And my grandfather misses your ancestor very much, saying that every time I think of my ancestor you because you went to Sanqingguan to live for a year after giving birth, and fell into a long-term disease, he blames himself very much, and he senses that your wind disease has healed in the past two years, and he is very pleased. ”

The old lady whimpered, took the handkerchief and followed the big teardrops, and had no doubts about He Angelica's words at all. These old things, except for the older generation of them, know not much, even the children of the Sichuan generation do not know much.

In the past, she and her sister competed for a husband and gave birth to a lot of filth, and the husband Luo Du Zhong was originally her alone, and she only loved her alone, but because of her mother's partiality, she shoehorned the grumpy, notorious, and unmarried eldest sister into the lover between them, turning the sweetness and beauty of two people into the torture of three people. Later, in the Luo family, she gave birth to the second and third children, her sister hated her and bullied her, and her husband was blinded, and she did not distinguish between right and wrong, so she was angry and went to the Taoist temple to practice alone, where the living conditions were difficult, so that she fell into the root of her life, until she ate the heirloom fairy date, her illness was greatly alleviated, and then in the next three years, she didn't take any medicine, and her illness gradually improved.

The old lady tearfully asked, "How is he doing over there?" Why hasn't he been reincarnated yet? ”

"My grandfather said that he no longer has to go through the suffering of reincarnation," He Angelica said gently, "He has now become an earth immortal and has become a father-in-law of the land, but there is a matter on his mind that he can't let go, so he gave me a dream." He said that this sunny day doll is a gift from the gods, which can bless the descendants of the Luo family......"

"Father-in-law of the land?" The old lady suddenly interjected and asked, "Is he alone now, or is he with someone else?" ”

"Huh?" He Angelica didn't understand what she meant.

The old lady hesitated and asked, "Does he have ...... Looking for a land mother-in-law? ”

"Uh......" He Angelica choked up, it turned out that she was asking this, it turned out that no matter how old a woman is, she can't help but be jealous, and she asks men to treat her dedicatedly. So He Angelica hurriedly comforted her and said: "Grandfather, he is alone, waiting for the ancestor to be your mother-in-law." Seeing that the old lady still looked like she wanted to say something, she guessed what was on the other party's mind, and added, "My grandmother, her old man, went to reincarnate early, and the two of them were not together." Because I asked these questions in my dreams, I was still very impressed. ”

The old lady was relieved, and for a while she was a little embarrassed, and nodded: "Then you can continue." ”

"This doll is what my grandfather asked me to make for you, intending to bless the descendants of the Luo family, Yin Sheng," He Angelica put the sunny day doll in the hands of the old lady, "He said, there is a wicked person living in the house now who wants to cut off the Luo family's children and grandchildren, if the old ancestor is soft-hearted and let the wicked go freely, then within three years, the blessings that the Luo family has accumulated for several lifetimes will be consumed! ”

The old lady grabbed the bald puppet and asked, "Who is that person?" Why did he cause my Luo family to be cut off? ”

He Angelica was silent for a while, struggled to get up from the bed, picked up a witch puppet dug up by the Sun family from the Baoqin Pavilion from the ground, and looked at it carefully for a long time, she sighed: "I saw this puppet last night, although I knew that my mother would not make this kind of thing, but I couldn't find out what flaws there were in this puppet, but I was very sure that my mother believed in Buddhism, and she also knew that the eight characters were taboo things, and it was absolutely impossible to write the eight characters of the family. Now take a closer look, although this word is really my mother's word, this note is not from my mother's hand. As she spoke, she took off the note from the puppet and handed it to the old lady.

"Oh?" The old lady picked up the note and looked at it, and said suspiciously, "How do you look at it, it's all Chuanxiong's words, why is the note not from her?" ”

"Ancestor, you have read the scriptures copied by my mother all the year round, and you may not have noticed that my mother's words have actually changed a lot in the past ten years." He Angelica pointed to one of the "moon" characters and said, "This bend is very round, which is the characteristic of my mother's font, but I have seen my mother's small note in the old house, and her words ten years ago have not been so smooth." If the ancestor has any doubts, he can compare the scriptures copied by his mother in the past few years, and he will naturally see the difference. After a pause, she said with a little smile, "Isn't it strange that a ten-year-old moldy puppet has a yellow, crispy note from ten years ago, but my mother's new font for the last year or two is written on it?" ”

The old lady was silent with the note, recalling Luo Chuanxiong's previous font, and was skeptical of He Angelica's words.

He Angelica said confidently: "Mr. Bao from the academy once taught us that words are like people, and the font reveals a person's temperament and character, attitude towards the world and mood when writing. In the past two years, she has enjoyed the years in the mountains, and there are two points of free and easy leisure between the lines. I've also seen my mother's copy, so I'm completely sure that this is what my mother wrote last year. ”

The old lady nodded, and when she said this, the words on this note really had two free and easy meanings.

"If these can't be called flaws," He Angelica smiled under the veil, "Then, Ancestor, look here, I just brought a diorama," she said, placing a small convex lens above the note, "This is a gadget that Qing'er gave me, something that can be magnified to see...... You see, the two 'E' characters in this 'Wuxu Year Wujia Month' are exactly the same, as if they were engraved, no, to be precise, this is simply the engraved word. ”

"Engraved words?" The old lady and Miss Ji repeated in unison, both of them looked through the diorama, staring at the two "E" characters, and sure enough, what Angelica said, it was exactly the same two words.

Miss Ji stretched out her hand and pointed to the place where the hook was placed, and said in surprise: "Old lady, look, there is a burr here, so coincidentally, the word 'E' below also has a burr in the same place, and even the shape is the same." The old lady nodded her head.

"Ancestor, please take a look at these two," He Angelica handed over the note with the characters Sun Meiniang and Luo Baiqiong written on it, "The three words 'year, month, and day' on it are exactly the same on each note." ”

"Sure enough!" The old lady lost her voice and said, "How can this be? ”

"Alas, it's really a delicate work, a patient work, and a vicious scheming," He Angelica sighed, "I don't know who my mother has offended, she has entered the Taoist temple to escape the world and can't be clean, and she almost took on the charge of witchcraft and harming people, and she was wronged." In my opinion, these three notes were engraved by a master craftsman who is proficient in seal carving compared to my mother's handwriting, and then printed on old paper. ”

Miss Ji felt incredible, and exclaimed: "It's easy to engrave words, but it's more troublesome than other people's font carvings, these words are small and many, and they are carved vividly, which is a lot of effort and patience." ”

"Yes, it's almost time to catch up with the miniature carving, I don't know who has so much silver, and invited such a powerful master craftsman." Of course, He Angelica wouldn't tell them that he was just below, it was the "master craftsman" who carved those words in the room for a few days, and his eyes were tired.

She pinched the paper on the edge of the note with her fingernails, it was brittle, and when she pinched it, it shattered, and she laughed, "Look, there is a problem with this paper, ordinary old paper is not so brittle." I guess that in order to create the effect of being buried deep underground for more than ten years, this paper must have been baked on a hot iron plate. ”

The old lady and Miss Ji nodded convincingly, it was really a very strange fake.

He Angelica pointed to the charms and human bones on the ground again, and sighed: "I don't know much, and I can't see the fame of those two things, but since there is a problem with the witch puppet, and the paper money I saw yesterday is also a 'prop' that I am looking for, then it is estimated that these two things are also carefully prepared fake evidence." ”

The old lady pondered for a moment with a calm face, and instructed Miss Ji: "You call someone to go to the outer courtyard, call that Li Xiangshi over, and invite two more Taoist priests to come, and see what those charms are." ”

As soon as Miss Ji left, He Angelica rubbed the corners of her clothes and said: "Ancestor, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not, reasoning, I shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of my elders...... However, there are many things that I have heard in my ears and buried in my heart, and I really don't vomit or feel unhappy...... Especially in the past few days of illness, I listened to my grandfather's warning words, and was specially told by my grandfather that I must tell my ancestors these words, so even if I don't comply with the rules, I will tell these words! ”

The old lady nodded and said in a deep voice, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

He Angelica said in a cold voice: "Whether it is the person mentioned in the book left by the ancestors, or the person in the mouth of my grandfather, I can't think of a second person." I think that the person who wants to cut off the Luo family is clearly the second aunt! ”

The old lady has always suspected that the "poisonous woman" and "daughter-in-law of the family" are the second daughter-in-law Sun, but she can't make up her mind, but once He Angelica opens her mouth to break it, the old lady is puzzled again. Sun's eyes on He Angelica are not pleasing to the eye, slander and framing are common things, but He Angelica has always suffered, and he has not openly "slandered" and chewed the root of Sun's tongue. This time, could it be that He Angelica couldn't stand the persecution of the Sun family, and deliberately framed the Sun family?

The old lady was suspicious for a moment, and then denied her thoughts, from yesterday to today, such a series of strange things, how could it be that a child like He Angelica was doing ghosts behind the scenes, many things are miracles beyond the reach of manpower...... No, no, this is the manifestation of the ancestor of the Luo family! The old lady slowly clenched the little rag doll in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the old body will listen to you, what did the second daughter-in-law do, to cause my Luo family to lose children and grandchildren, and a catastrophe is coming?" ”

"I have shallow knowledge, but I heard my grandfather tell me that a big family like our Luo family, if it is attacked from the outside, it is difficult to break it, and only if it is broken from the inside, it will gradually collapse." He Angelica said, "My grandfather mentioned that there is a rotten person in our family now, and he has been harming the people around him, but he didn't name that person. I wondered, the most powerful and domineering person in the family is the second aunt, could it be that my grandfather is talking about her? ”

The old lady was silent.

"Of course, no one can frame others out of thin air, no one can afford such a big hat." He Angelica blinked and said, "Lie out of thin air at every turn, accuse me of being an unlucky person, and pin all the misfortunes of my family on my head, this is what my second aunt is used to doing, and I won't follow her example." The reason why I think this way is that I look at these fake witch puppets, since they were not made by my mother, who took so much effort to make them? Isn't it strange that the second aunt has dug up these puppets with bones and needles all over her body, not only is she not afraid, but she seems very excited? ”

The old lady bowed slightly: "She was indeed too excited last night." ”

He Angelica continued: "Second, I heard some words, as if to say that the second uncle has never had a son, not because of his physical problems, nor because of his concubine, but because of the second aunt. ”

"Sun's ...... Questions? The old lady stared at He Angelica without blinking and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"I heard that there is a private pharmacy in Baoqin Pavilion, which is full of harmful poisons, including drugs that can make people unable to give birth to children. Even the poisons, dumb medicines, and itch powder in the hands of the fourth sister a few years ago were all taken from there. ”
