Chapter 3 Lack of Conspiracies
Cuihua cooked breakfast early in the morning, waited and waited, but she didn't see Zhao Shenggang's shadow for a long time, and she didn't answer the phone. She had to eat it herself.
Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of gruel, a hard steamed bun. She took a sip of porridge first, but accidentally bit her tongue when she nibbled on the steamed buns.
"It looks like I'm going to eat meat, could it be that I just went home and wanted to chop a few catties of meat to eat?" In the countryside, if you bite your tongue, it means that you will soon eat meat, and if a dragonfly stops at home at night, it means that a guest will visit soon...... Of course, there is absolutely no scientific basis for this.
If you talk about science in the countryside, you are wrong.
Cuihua washed the dishes and chopsticks, and went to put some pigweed on the pig, this pig was kept for the New Year to eat meat, and there was not much meat when hungry and thin.
After feeding the pigs, she sat leisurely on the wooden chair, holding Erlang's legs, squinting her eyes, and humming a small tune in her mouth.
"Emerald Flower...... Emerald ......"
Zhao Shenggang's call suddenly sounded in her ears, she quickly stood up, and walked to the door in a wooden manner, "Shenggang, is it you?" You're back? ”
The rain was pouring down, the wind was blowing, the fog was getting thicker, and a blood-red fog enveloped the hut.
She was already wearing a padded jacket, but this cool feeling still came to her heart.
There was no one in front of her, and she was in a trance, "Cuihua, what's wrong with you?" ”
A rickety figure on crutches suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she fixed her eyes to see that it was Uncle Huimin Shouhui next door, and her consciousness was sobered up.
"Uncle Hui, were you calling me just now?"
"Cuihua, this is the lost soul that you miss as soon as you leave, tsk." Hui Huishou began to make fun of her.
"Uncle Hui, come in and sit." Cuihua helped Hui Huishou into the house.
It's really not easy to say that this benefits people's longevity. Of the eight major groups in Yanghuai Village, all those with a high level of Chinese became village cadres. He is the only ordinary farmer in Yanghuai Village who has a high degree of Chinese. He has three sons and a daughter, the eldest son Huiyi, the second son Huisheng, the third son Hui'an, and the youngest daughter Huiping, which means "a safe life".
Cuihua poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Hui Huishou, grinned and said: "Uncle Hui, it's raining, windy and foggy, you are a lot old, and you are still running around with a cane, if your precious girl knows, I will definitely talk about you again." ”
Hui Huishou laughed and coughed a few times, "I said Cuihua, what nonsense are you talking to me as an old man in broad daylight, such a good weather, clear sky, where is it raining and windy, let alone foggy." ”
Cuihua smiled "poof", "Uncle Hui, your old eyes ......" She walked to the door and was stunned, the word "faint flower" had not yet been spoken, she glanced at Hui Huishou with a pale face.
"This ...... No matter how fast it gets...... It's impossible for the ground to be free of any wetness......"
Hui Huishou took a puff of dry tobacco and muttered, "You should go out with Shenggang more often, you will suffocate if you stay in this house all the time." ”
"Strange, I won't encounter ghosts in broad daylight." Cuihua gently patted her head with her hand.
Hui Minshou took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "Sheng just came back, you told him to be careful when driving a truck in the future, don't be careless, the news reported that a truck on National Highway 103 fell into the river, and it is strange to say, the road is blocked, and there are fences all around, so it stands to reason that this truck can't get in......"
"Last night?!" Cuihua hurriedly interrupted Hui Huishou, "Are you sure it was last night!?" ”
Hui Huishou sighed, "Cuihua, can you always be startled and scare my old man!" ”
Cuihua hurriedly dialed Zhao Shenggang's phone with her mobile phone, "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off......
"What kind of machine to turn off at this time! Ay! Cuihua was so anxious that she paced around the door, and made several phone calls, but the phone was turned off.
Hui Huishou looked helpless, "Cuihua, don't worry, I asked Huiping to take a leave of absence and go out to inquire with the traffic police, and I will call you as soon as there is a result." ”
Cuihua had tears in her eyes, "Uncle Hui...... That...... Excuse me...... Shenggang ...... Don't let anything happen! ”
Hui Huishou sighed and hurriedly went home on crutches.
To get to the provincial capital must first go to the town to catch the bus, the shuttle bus only once a day, departing at 7:30 in the morning, now it is almost noon, Cuihua can only do it at home in a hurry.
Rushed to the doctor.
When medical care was not yet universal, once someone in the village got sick, they would definitely ask the goddess to "dance" or even eat some "blood steamed buns", which caused them to become more sick.
"Taoist witchcraft" can occasionally solve some "supernatural" phenomena, but physical diseases are in nature.
Wu Shiqing is well-known in Yanghuai Village, and he has also had some dealings with Zhao Shenggang, Cuihua wants to know his man's bad luck, so she dialed his phone in a hurry.
"Is it Mr. Wu?"
"I'm Wu Shiqing, are you?"
"Mr. Wu, I am a group of Cuihua, in the same village as you, my man pulled the goods last night and has not come back until now, there was a truck falling into the river last night, I want to ask Mr. to make a divination for my man......"
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, "This, it's not that I don't want to help you, but everyone has their own rules, I'm a duangong, you should go to Ma Mingxiang for predictions, he is Mr. Yin and Yang." ”
Wu Shiqing hurriedly hung up the phone after speaking.
Cuihua scolded angrily at the mobile phone: "Wu Shiqing, you are a current goods, aren't you just a god!" What's the difference! This little favor doesn't help! The ...... who chopped off the skull"
"Dad, doesn't Duan Gong know how to predict?" Wu Dan looked at Wu Shiqing and muttered.
"Nature understands." Wu Shiqing's tone was very calm, but he was a little helpless.
"Then why don't you help the aunt predict her husband's bad luck?" U Thant was even more puzzled.
Wu Shiqing sighed: "A long time ago, Duan Gong and Mr. Yin Yang were still the most popular professions in the countryside, and they were also respected, but how could a mountain accommodate two tigers, in front of some interests, Mr. Yin and Yang and Duan Gong still had disputes, Mr. Yin and Yang always thought that we were robbing their business, so the battle between Mr. Yin and Yang and Duan Gong had a bad start." When I was a child, I heard Master Tai tell me that there was a Duan Gong who was not used to Mr. Yin and Yang's style of acting, and he actually used witchcraft to trick people's families, which completely inspired the struggle between the two families. Mr. Yin and Yang essentially belong to Taoism, and in order to take revenge on Duan Gong, they even dealt with us together with some Maoshan Taoist priests, including the Zhengyi faction and the Quanzhen Dragon Sect. Our Duangong essence does not belong to Taoism, like the Tao like Buddha like a witch, we are weak, since the war with Mr. Yin and Yang, Duangong has withered since then, fortunately, the Taoist people did not uproot our Duangong, Master Tai and Mr. Yin and Yang agreed, from now on Duangong does not do Yin and Yang, Tao does not do witch ......"
"Yin and Yang" refers to prediction, feng shui, red and white ceremonies, etc., and "Wu" refers to inviting gods, choosing good fortune, and driving away evil spirits.
Wu Dan listened to Wu Shiqing quietly, and was already dumbfounded after listening to it, such an ancient and grotesque story, how incredible it is, no one can believe it.
Wu Shiqing sneered, "Our Duangong has always fulfilled his promise, but those Mr. Yin and Yang's 'chests are still so thick'." ”
"Didn't Mr. Yin and Yang keep his promise?" U Thant asked.
"Heh, if Mr. Yin Yang really fulfilled his promise, there wouldn't be so many charlatans in their line."
Wu Dan naturally didn't understand the meaning of Wu Shiqing's words, but she would understand one day.
However, by the day she understood, she was already the last seasoned duangong.
Cuihua still couldn't get through to Zhao Shenggang's phone, but she called Ma Mingxiang's phone number. She hurriedly called Ma Mingxiang, "Is it Ma Daochang?" ”
"Ahem, the Taoist can't talk about it, what's the matter with you?"
"My man went out on an errand last night and hasn't returned yet, and the phone can't get through. I asked the Taoist chief to make a divination for my man to measure the good fortune and evil. ”
"It's easy to say, tell me your man's birthday, and when he left home last night."
Cuihua pondered and reminisced again, and said to the other end of the conversation for a long time: "My man's name is Zhao Shenggang, Ding You, and he left home yesterday. ”
"Where does your man live?"
"We live in a group of Yanghuai Village."
There was a banging sound from the other end, "Let's go pick pumpkins!" The flood is rising, the flood is a trivial matter, and the pumpkin vine vine is even worse when it is pulled out by dirty things. ”
Cuihua was confused, "Dao Chief, what are you talking about, I want to ask you to predict the good luck of men." ”
"Okay, I've finished predicting for your man, the forecast cost is a hundred yuan, I'll come to your house to withdraw the money in a few days." The other end hung up.
Cuihua felt that this Ma Mingxiang was very inexplicable, "I've bumped into Nima's ghost, Mr. Yin and Yang, isn't it just a liar who makes money!" ”
Although Cuihua knew that Zhao Shenggang's mobile phone was turned off, she couldn't help but dial it.
"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"
This time, there was a reaction on the other end of the phone.
"Hey! Zhao Shenggang! You're talking! ”
On the other end of the phone, there was a "zizi" ring, followed by a "whooshing" sound of water, and then a burst of mad laughter......
