Chapter 6 Water Tank Mother-in-law
At this time, Leng Banxian was still in the town dozens of miles away, sitting peacefully in the old place, and a pair of young men and women were standing in front of the noodle restaurant, asking him about the auspicious day?
The man's cloth clothes and trousers, tied up with trouser legs, carrying a flat burden, with a simple smile, the woman hiding behind him, the village girl dressed up, pink short clothes and long skirts, carrying a bamboo basket, quite shy, bowing her head and smiling.

"The two of you sit here, see that you sincerely ask the hexagram, the price can be discussed, to ensure that you are satisfied, the money, the money is not unjustly spent!"
Leng Banxian stretched out his hand and beckoned them to sit on the platform,
"Good days and auspicious days, the days of flowers and candles in the cave house, I have set a lot, you don't believe it, you can go to Wanzhen to inquire everywhere, inquire, many newlywed Yan'er are the days I set - you see how happy people are now! Husband and wife are in love, giving birth to children and daughters, men and women weaving, happy and happy, and happy all day long!"
"My father-in-law said that he sets his own day, but we still think it's good to find a husband, and we are steady, no, I'm looking for you—" The man said with a smile as he pulled the woman over.
"The young man has eyesight, find such a pretty girl, congratulations!" Leng Banxian praised the young man while giving up his seat,
"You're right! Your father-in-law, although you can see some simple feng shui, but how can you casually look at this marriage event? After all, we eat this kind of food, and professional ones are better than unprofessional ones, right? If everyone can read fortune telling and choose the day and day, then what else will we eat? How can we live?"
"Sir is right, let's take a good look! Choose a good time, and then please have a happy drink!" said the young man with a smile.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, come, come, come, sit, sit, sit, listen to me slowly!" So, the three of them sat down, Leng Banxian rolled down his long sleeves, stretched out his pale right hand, opened the thick book on the table, and spoke slowly!
Everything in the mountains, there is no premonition?
Just when Lingwa was besieged by the fire, his heart was like numbness, the flames were whirring, the more he burned, the more he burned, the roasted hair was itchy, burning and painful, and when he saw that the house was about to collapse and he was buried in the fire, at the last moment, he suddenly saw the big water tank next to the stove, which was full of water, reflecting the firelight.
With a quick whim, he ran over, rolled over and jumped into the tank, and with a thud, the overflowing water was poured on the burning ground and sizzled - and the elf's kitten escaped through the crack in the door.
Lingwa's jump made him never expect that he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss-
The body kept falling down, the surroundings were cold, wet, and I couldn't see anything, only the sound of whirring water in my ears. After falling for a long time, the body slowly slowed down, and finally hit the ground, revealing a white light in front of the darkness.
He cautiously walked in the bright light, and saw a small house under the light in front of him, very small, he was only six or seven years old and only one meter one, two, and the house was less than half his height!
The house was small, but exquisite, with green bricks and green tiles, clear ditches, four small pillars firm, and small ropes tied between the pillars, on which were cold little clothes, and a tiny old woman in black was sitting under the eaves, mending her clothes—
Lingwa is so strange, where is this? The people are so small, the house is so small, is it a dwarf country?
I used to hear my grandfather say that the sky is the land of giants, and people are as tall as bamboo and big trees? The underground is the country of dwarves, and people are as tall as the kimchi jar and the sauerkraut jar, round and thick!
Could it be that the gate of the dwarf kingdom was originally in the water tank?
In his confusion, he suddenly saw the old woman under the eaves raise her head, and her face really startled him! The old face was dark and thin, full of wrinkles, and there was no flat skin in sight, and the eye sockets were deeply buried, and a pair of small eyes were deeply embedded in them, with a little cold light, and the lips were thick and wide, just like the orangutan in the zoo.
Lingwa didn't know if she was a human or a ghost, and she didn't know if she was fierce or lucky, and she didn't dare to come closer, so she hid in the darkness far away and didn't say a word.
"Come here, child, come here!" said the old woman, who was the first to speak, and beckoned a little hand in his direction.
Looking at the hand again, the green tendons burst out, thin and black, the same full of wrinkles, the same black, the nails are long and curved, at least they haven't been trimmed for hundreds of years, right? Seeing her, not only did Lingwa think of the "thousand-year-old demon" that his grandfather talked about before? Maybe that's it. I was trembling with fright.
"Come here, child, don't hide, I see you-" The old woman beckoned to him again, "Come here, mother-in-law has something to eat, don't be afraid!
Lingwa still didn't dare to go over, thinking, you are an old demon, you have a spell, I want to go over, can I still come over?
"Your name is Lingwa, right? Your grandfather's name is Old Man Leng, right?" the old woman said with a smile when she saw that Lingwa was afraid,
"I've known you for a long time, let's tell you the truth, I'm your mother-in-law's water tank, and I'm in your house every day, are you still afraid?"
When Lingwa heard this, is there such a thing as a water tank mother-in-law? I haven't heard my grandfather say it! Grandpa only said that the stove has a stove god, which can bless the delicious cooking every day; the door has a door god, which can block all evil gods and wild ghosts outside from entering the house; there is a road god on the road, which can ensure the safety of entering and exiting; and even the pig pen has a pig god, which can bless the piglets to grow up safely and make a lot of money!
As for the "Cylinder God", this is the first time I've heard of it?
"Come over the child, talk to my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law hasn't talked to anyone for a long time!"
Ah, chatting? I'm only so old, what are you talking about? I don't know if you are a human or a ghost? Who dares to talk to you? Lingwa is still so scared that she doesn't dare to come forward!
"But don't you?" the old woman grinned, "Then you can hide there and see how long you can hide? Only I can get you out! Believe it or not?"
As soon as Lingwa heard this, she looked at the black holes around her, only the old woman had a little light, and I don't know where this light came from?
I thought, yes, I don't know how I fell off, and I don't know how I got up?
After thinking about it, there is no way, anyway, it depends on the old woman. So, I gave myself courage and tried for a long time before I slowly moved my feet and approached the old woman.
"Come, come, sit down, child, don't be afraid, what are you afraid of, mother-in-law and you are a family!" Seeing Lingwa approaching, the old woman took out a small wooden stool from the side and asked him to sit.
When Lingwa saw this little stool, it was the same as that toy, how could she sit down! Sitting down was no different from sitting on the ground.
"Mother-in-law, here are the sweet potatoes and potatoes you want to eat, eat them first, see if you are hungry, and then talk about it when you are full!" After speaking, the old woman turned around and went into the house, and took out a wooden pot of sweet potatoes and potatoes from the low house!
The same is so small, it's just the kind of thick roots that other people don't want in the field, it's too small!
"Eat it, kid, eat quickly!, you're welcome!" he urged Lingwa to eat, "Anyway, your grandfather won't be back for a while, and it's not dark yet?"
Lingwa was struggling how to eat such a small thing? Suddenly I heard that grandpa hadn't come back yet?! Suddenly it stimulated his nerves, and everything that had just happened appeared in front of him again, a raging fire, maybe it hasn't burned out yet?
When grandpa comes back in the evening, how can we explain it? Where are we staying?
His face was embarrassed, and he refused to eat it!
"What's the matter, eat!" the old woman asked him, puzzled.
"I want to go back, ask my mother-in-law for help, let me go back!" Lingwa finally spoke.
"Go back, go back to catch up? It's hard to come once, what's the hurry? Don't worry, after eating, chat with your mother-in-law, before dark, your mother-in-law will send you back!"
"I, I, I'm in trouble again!" Lingwa said sadly!
"What's the trouble?"
"It's a big disaster, I accidentally set the house on fire!I wonder what will grandpa do when he comes back at night?" After speaking, Lingwa lowered her head!
When the old woman heard this, she laughed again, "I knew that you little guy must be in trouble again! Otherwise, how could you have come to me? This place is rare for a thousand years to come alone! Hahahaha!"
This gloomy laughter came from the old woman's dark body, and the black curtain around the shock was trembling!
After laughing, he asked Lingwa: "Then what do you want to do?"
Lingwa shook her head and said she didn't know?
"Why do you accidentally set the house on fire? Do you know what a house means? Is there a difference between having a house and not having a house?" the old woman asked him in a low voice, sitting in front of Lingwa.
"I was looking for a cat, and I accidentally lit it!"
"Do you know what a house is?" asked the old woman.
"A house is a place where you can sleep, a place where you can block the rain, a place where you can block the wind, and it's okay—"
Lingwa thought about it for a long time, where she thought of it, and where she said it.
"That's right, tell you kid, the house is our home! home, you know, the warmest and safest place!"
"But now it's okay, the home is gone, it's all burned down by your kid, how will you live in the future? How to live? There is no home, we all have to disband, live under the eaves of other people's houses, just like the stray dogs outside, running around, don't you think it's pitiful?"
Lingwa buried her head deeply and said nothing.
"Hey—" After the old woman finished speaking, she sighed again, "It's a pity that you are old, your skills are shallow, and you have no way to return to heaven!"
The old woman folded the mended clothes, put them in her arms, saw Lingwa drooping her head and did not squeak, and said: "Old man Leng is a good man! Although his temper is a little strange, his nature is not bad. I have lived in the mountains for decades in your family, and I have never been short of water in my tank. In the future, when you live at home, you should remember where to be full and where to be hungry?"
Lingwa didn't understand, looked up at her, and then said: "The water tank should be full, the stove should be hungry, put less firewood, understand?
"Yes, but I set the bed on fire!" Lingwa said sadly.
"Well, it's no use being sad that this has come to this, so take my thing back and give it to the old man, and maybe help him rebuild his home as soon as possible." After speaking, the old woman stretched out her small left hand, took off a small and thin blue ring, and put it in the palm of the spirit baby's hand.
"If you pinch it, it's over, and you'll have to beg for food along the street!"
Lingwa took the tiny ring, squeezed it tightly in her hand, and heard the old woman say: "Hey, our master and servant, it's been decades, and now I have nothing left for you to leave, I still have a 'fire pill' here, give it to you, child! Look at your long tiger and tiger, your spirituality is extremely high, and in order to save the cat, a piece of love, no intention to catch fire, it is a reward for you, but next time you must pay attention to fire prevention, safety first, don't set the house on fire!"
Lingwa nodded, and watched the old woman feel a black, shiny bead from her arms, "If you eat this, you will plant a 'cold origin' in your body." As long as the outside temperature exceeds your body temperature, the cold origin will play a role in cooling the air around you! Of course, this is only a short-term protection, you should leave the fire quickly to be effective! As you grow up, the power of the cold origin will become more and more powerful, if you can't leave the fire for the time being, you can recite my mantra - my mother-in-law will be able to find a way to help you save the day!"
Lingwa took the old woman's black beads, held them in her hand, sticky, cold, like dirt on her body, and wanted to eat it, she felt a little disgusting, and refused to put it in her mouth.
"What's the matter, I think my mother-in-law is dirty, then forget it, give it back to me!" said the old woman, and reached out to take it back.
"No, no, I, I'll eat, I'll eat!" After speaking, Lingwa threw it into her mouth and swallowed it with a grunt. The game is like spitting out a piece of ice, swallowing it and stopping where it stops! Up and down the body, a cold air is circling, and the cold wind is blowing in the ears, and the old woman can't hear what she says.
"Hmph, I don't want it yet! I don't want to give it yet? Do you know where this bead came from? More than a thousand years ago, the Dragon King of the underground well celebrated his birthday, and the reward has been reluctant to use it, so he has kept it until today, seeing that your kid is extraordinary, I want to give it to you, maybe you can come in handy in the future! You still don't know what to do, don't you want it?"
The cold air rotated up and down, which made Lingwa shiver all over her body, and her upper and lower teeth were fighting, and she couldn't hear what the old woman was saying at all?
Seeing this, the old woman only patted Lingwa on the shoulder, and the strong cold wind stopped abruptly. Only then did Lingwa stop trembling and her body temperature recovered, so she could hear what her mother-in-law was saying?
"Remember the child, no matter when you encounter anything in the future, don't say that I gave you the fire prevention pill! This is a heavenly opportunity, it cannot be leaked, you must remember it!"
Lingwa nodded vigorously!
"If you do, it's useless! Mother-in-law can't help you!" Lingwa nodded vigorously and hummed.
"Okay, now I'll teach you the formula, memorize it, and you can leave! Go back and wait for your grandfather!" After speaking, the old woman crossed her feet, faced Lingwa's ear, and said two sentences word by word, which was very simple, and Lingwa firmly remembered it in her heart.
"Go back, kid, you can go-" After speaking, the old woman patted Lingwa's arm and made a gesture to go!
Lingwa just finished saying thank her mother-in-law, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly wondered, where am I going to go when there are black holes all around, how can I go back?
"What's the matter? I still don't want to go? If you don't go, I'm going to let the dog bite you, my dog is very fierce!" the old woman suddenly looked at him with the same surprise!
"Mother-in-law, I, I-"
"What am I, go, run-" Without waiting for Lingwa to finish speaking, the old woman who only listened shouted at the hut: "Ah Huang, go on!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a big yellow dog, rushing out with an iron fly, the dog was as big as the outside, like a vicious tiger pounced, like an arrow off the string, and rushed straight to Lingwa!
The frightened Lingwa turned her head and ran, choosing a random direction, no matter how dark it was in front of her, she ran down without hesitation, the little figure disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know what was going on in the darkness——?
