Chapter 061: Puppet (10)
Liu Haisheng held back tears, took off his coat, and gathered the bones in the cellar.
When he came out of the cellar with the bones on his back, he saw his mother standing outside the bedroom door. They looked at each other, and no one spoke.
The fishy smell in the cellar came out, Liu Haisheng looked behind him, and said to his mother: "The dishes in the cellar are rotten, I will clean them." ”
"It's rotten." The mother said, "When people are old, they can't remember many things clearly. ”
"Mother doesn't remember, but I remember." Liu Haisheng's nose pantothenic acid: "When I was a child, I envied others for having a cellar at home, because there were good things hidden in the cellar. Our family is poor, we have nothing to hide, and we don't need to dig cellars. ”
"yes!" Mother sighed, "Later, we followed your father to the city, and your father found a job at the post station. The old man at the inn was very nice and often gave us something that he couldn't eat. During the New Year's holidays, we will also be given some fruits and vegetables. Afraid that the vegetables would rot, your father dug a small cellar at home, right in this location. ”
"This cellar was dug by my mother herself?" Liu Haisheng asked, thinking back to the appearance of the cellar. "Mother digs hard, right? Why don't you wait for your child to come back? ”
"I'm waiting, I can't wait to come back." The mother smiled: "I know that my son misses me in his heart, and I also know that my son is a child who keeps his promises. Since he promised the kind old man, he will definitely help others wholeheartedly. But I'm a mother, I want my own son. I would go to the mouth of the alley every day to wait, from day to night, from night to day, until my eyes were almost blind, and I didn't wait for my son to come back. ”
"Mother-" Liu Haisheng knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound: "It's all because the child is not good, it's the child who is not filial, and the child should have come back earlier." ”
"Silly boy, you are a person who does things for others, how can you say that you will come back." Mother said: "Mother is not the kind of person who can't think about it. Seeing that there were more and more things you asked someone to send back, my mother dug this cellar when she had nothing to do. Later, when I was old and couldn't climb, I didn't go down and toss again. ”
"No wonder everything inside is broken." Liu Haisheng rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and got up: "It's okay, I'm capable, and I'll clean it up in a while." The mother went back to the house to rest, and when the child finished cleaning the cellar, she cooked for the mother. ”
"Okay, my mother will wait for my child's meal." The mother held the door frame back to the house, and Liu Haisheng turned around with the bones on his back. The mother paused and looked back at him. His gaze fell on the bones he was carrying, and he sighed softly.
Inside the house, her mother put away the medicine powder that Nan Jinyi gave her, and she knew that from this moment on, she would never need it anymore.
His mother's maiden name is Zhao, and she is the successor of Zhao's technique. The Zhao family has built mausoleums for the royal family for generations, and wooden puppets are one of them. This doll needs to be soaked in blood for 7749 days, and then covered with human skin, standing in the tomb, can be the tomb keeper. The Zhao family's tricks are passed on to men but not to women, and when she is in her generation, because of the famine and war, there is only one girl left in the family, and her grandfather can only pass on the tricks secretly. She was not very talented, and she had only learned fur, and the most proficient of them was this wooden puppet.
Because of the evil nature of this technique, she didn't dare to let her husband know. Later, her husband died of illness and her son left, and no one knew the secret that she was the heir of the Zhao family's organs.
The mother took out the trick that her grandfather had left her and put it on the table, took off her coat, and peeled off the human skin, revealing the puppet's body.
With a puff of green smoke rising, the Birch bird flew to the Hundred Grass Hall.
Nan Jinyi, who was grinding medicine, heard the news and rushed to Liu's house with the cat demon.
Liu Haisheng knelt in front of the door, and across the wooden door, the fire burned together.
Afterwards, Liu Haisheng also asked Nan Jinyi about his mother, but without waiting for Nan Jinyi to answer, he waved his hand and left.
On the silk book, Nan Jinyi wrote: "Mother loves her son, you can cut the bones and peel the dolls!" ”
Liu Haisheng left, and took the Zhao family trick left to him by his mother to help Liu Hanshan run a new errand. It's strange to say that the entire Liu family's old house was burned, and only the wooden box that prevented the trick was unharmed. The wooden box is black as a whole, and I don't know what it is painted with, but it can be fireproof.
Xu is an arrangement in the dark, and the thing Liu Haisheng wants to do happens to be related to the mausoleum, and the mechanism in the tomb happens to be Zhao Jiabu's.
Nan Jinyi didn't know about the tricks, she only felt a pity, if Liu Haisheng's mother hadn't self-immolated, she still had a way to keep her three souls and six spirits and let her be reincarnated as a human. But looking back, the reason why she chose to self-immolate was precisely because she didn't want to be a human being.
Nan Jinyi closed the medical book, walked to the door, and looked at the sky in the west in a daze.
In the flower building opposite, Jia Youfu touched the girl's thigh awkwardly, and saliva flowed out of the corner of his mouth: "Brother Chu, has you taken a fancy to that southern girl?" ”
"Nonsense." Chu Yunzheng picked up his wine glass: "How can I be a dignified prince of Chu who can fall in love with a female doctor." ”
Before the wine entered his throat, he felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and before he could raise his head, he was hooked by the girl's neck and sat on his lap: "What kind of girl has never seen such a romantic character as Chu Gongzi." Doctor Nan is good, but no matter how good she is, she is also a doctor, and she is a doctor with a very bad temper. ”
"Extremely foul-tempered?" Jia Youfu half got up and looked in the direction of Baicaotang: "This female doctor's temper is not good. ”
"It's not just bad, it's very bad." The girl glanced at it: "This doctor Nan relies on his good medical skills, not only looks down on us little people, but also looks down on the county master." The county magistrate knows, right? That is the son of the Liu family, the richest man in Southern Chen. ”
"This county master also likes female doctors?" Jia Youfu became interested: "This female doctor is good-looking, but she is not as cute as our Yun'er." ”
As he spoke, he wiped a handful on the girl's face.
The girl smiled and brushed him away, revealing the disgust that had been hidden in her eyes.
"Uncle Jia is really joking, how dare these girls in our building compare with Dr. Nan." The girl said, and her gaze fell back on Chu Yunzheng's face: "Whether this county master likes Doctor Nan or not, we don't know." We only know that this Nan doctor took the opportunity to see a doctor for the county master, and he got close to people. When the county magistrate didn't come to her, she had nothing to do. When she came to look for her, she deliberately held the shelf again. What does it mean to welcome or refuse, she is a female doctor, and she knows better than us girls. ”
"Do you want to welcome or refuse?" Chu Yunzheng squinted his eyes and drank the wine: "I'm very curious, what is her desire to welcome or refuse." ”
"Young Master Chu is interested in her?" The girl tasted and said, "In addition to her good medical skills, where is she better than me?" ”
"She, in addition to medical skills......" Chu Yunzheng glanced the girl in his arms up and down and pushed it away: "Everywhere is better than you!" ”
"Young Master Chu!" The girl stamped her feet in anger and tried to lean on him again.
Chu Yunzheng turned sideways and said, "My son has a habit of cleanliness, if you lean over again, don't blame my son for kicking you down from this building." ”
