Chapter 345: Cleaning the Pagoda
After a while, the two of them arrived at an arched door under the stone pagoda, but they couldn't help but smell a foul smell. Hu Yingzi covered his nose and said to Du Juan, no wonder Daoist Tan was reluctant to come, it turned out that this tower was really dirty. The cuckoo said, let's go in and have a look.
Hu Yingzi nodded, put the offerings he brought outside, and then entered through the arched tower door, and found that the five floors were hollow below, with a staircase in the middle, and went up to the fourth floor, and saw a stone statue on the shrine, which should be the tower god, only to see the tower god's eyes slightly convex, the bridge of the nose was high, and his face was smiling, with an amiable demeanor.
But the stone table in front of the shrine was empty, and there were no offerings, only some incense sticks that had been burned into short incense sticks scattered on it, and it was a mess, and an incense burner that was broken into two pieces made the stone tower full of ashes. The sixth and seventh floors were solid installations, and when they climbed up, they found piles of human excrement under the ring-shaped walls.
Hu Yingzi saw this, and said angrily, this may be a prank made by the three children, if there is really a tower god, it will really offend the tower god. She then went down to the fourth floor, bowed to the stone statue, and said, "Tower God, I'm sorry, my child has come here to do a bastard thing, offended you, I, as his mother, am I with you, please forgive him, let him recover from his sudden madness, and we promise to clean this tower."
The cuckoo also came over and bowed, learning from Hu Yingzi to say the words of apology to the tower god. Then he said to Hu Yingzi, we only have to sweep the tower. And he looked around, but he couldn't find a broom. Hu Yingzi approached the tower window, glanced out, turned around and said, there was a bamboo broom outside the tower, I don't know who threw it down.
Cuckoo said, maybe it's the three of them who are naughty and mischievous guys who skip school, and I'll go down and pick up the bamboo broom and sweep the tower at once. Hu Yingzi stopped her and said that this is not a matter of sweeping the tower, and the tower must be washed, otherwise, the stench in the tower will not be removed. The cuckoo said with embarrassment that it would be troublesome to wash the tower. Hu Yingzi said with certainty, the trouble is not to be washed? This just reflects our sincerity as parents and allows the tower god to forgive our children.
Hu Yingzi said that she would do it, of course she didn't do it alone, she went back and asked her husband Qi Liang to help, and brought the bucket for watering the vegetable seedlings at home.
Du Juan's family did not go back because of the long distance, so she also went to Hu Yingzi's house to get a water ladle and a wooden basin. They came down from the pagoda mountain together, went to the Longpan River to carry water or water, back and forth countless times, about 200 meters away, up and down.
From the river to the mountain, there is a section of the road that is particularly steep. Qi Gao carried a load of water and swayed, and it was inevitable to splash some on the road, and when he arrived at the pagoda door at the top of the mountain, a load of water was often only half a load. And Hu Yingzi and Du Juan were tired at this time, and no longer took turns carrying water or carrying water, so they took care to wash the pagoda, washing layer by layer, until the smelly smell was gone, they took the offerings into the pagoda and offered them in front of the tower god, and reverently lit incense and candles, bowed again, and said something to admit their mistakes for their children.
About a few hours later, it was getting late, Hu Yingzi, Qi Liang and Du Juan all left Pagoda Mountain, and after crossing the Longpan River, Du Juan separated from them. She walked to Longpan Town and took a private car to visit her child Xia Gao in the No. 3 ward of the county psychiatric hospital. It turned out that the doctor had given them chlorpheniramine to temporarily control their giggling.
At about 9 p.m., the sick-sounding giggle sounded on the bed again. The cuckoo was weak-hearted, and felt that the pagoda mountain was busy in vain, and there was no effect, and the child was still the same. Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, he suddenly saw Xia Gao stand up, looked at her and his father and shouted, Mom, Dad, why am I here? Where is it?
Seeing that Xia Gao had returned to normal, Du Juan said that this is the hospital, you are starting to get sick, very sick, so we sent you here. Xia Fengnian was very happy, he didn't know what to say, he didn't say anything, he hugged his son and kept kissing his face with his cheek. Xia Gao said, Dad, Mom, let's go back, what is there to live in the hospital, our family is not rich, is there no money to spend? I'm not sick.
At this time, a nurse came in, and when she saw that Xia Gao was well, Long Lai was still making that kind of smirk, so she said, our doctor used the same potion, how can one cure the disease and the other can't cure the disease? The cuckoo snorted and said that where is the hospital cured, I went to the pagoda mountain today to apologize to the tower god on behalf of the children, and cleaned up the pagoda that the three children had soiled, and placed the offerings, and the tower god forgave my child, and his madness will naturally be cured.
You say, I don't believe it. If so, why hasn't this man's illness been cured? The nurse pointed to the dragon. The way he laughed looked even more terrifying.
That's because his parents didn't go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the pagoda god, so they couldn't be forgiven. The cuckoo said bluntly, Xia Fengnian let go of Xia Gao and touched the cuckoo, and gave her a blank look, which means that you are nosy, and people don't go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the tower god, what does it matter to you? How embarrassed are the parents of Longlai when you say this?
The cuckoo stopped talking, smiled all over his face, and reached out to touch his son's body. At the beginning, when her son was in a state of madness, she also touched it painfully, but it felt completely different, and now her heart is so steady! Xia Gao said, Mom, Dad, let's go! Discharged from the hospital, it was uncomfortable to stay in the hospital.
When I was discharged from the hospital, I had to wait until I went to work tomorrow to go through the procedures, but it was late at night, and I couldn't go through the discharge procedures. The nurse said this, but she pondered the conversation between Xia Gao and his mother, and she sounded a little inexplicable, because she didn't know about the pranks that the three men had done on Pagoda Mountain.
Looking at her son Long Lai, who was still giggling and giggling, Ma Yinxing was about to cry, her heart was very unbalanced, it can be said that her child and Du Juan's child were sent to this mental hospital at the same time, and now, other people's children are back to normal, and their own children are still the same.
At this time, she jumped at the dragon with a blank face, blame you, I don't believe what Xu Sijin said, if I am like a cuckoo, I will also go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the tower god for the child, maybe now our child is back to normal, tomorrow dawn, we can also go through the discharge procedures for the child. The dragon jumped without knowing how to answer, and he hung his head and said nothing, as if silently reflecting on his mistake.
Why don't you trust hospitals so much, and send sick children to hospitals? The nurse, who was about to leave the house, walked up to the door and turned back to question.
It's not that I don't believe in the hospital, but now that the facts are in front of me, I apologize to the tower god for the child's accompaniment, and the child is really well. You should treat my child successfully without medication! As soon as the cuckoo was happy, his voice was louder.
The nurse said again, you have to wait until tomorrow morning to go through the discharge procedures.
Long Lai was tired, although he was still giggling, but his voice was obviously weaker. Ma Yinxing pushed the dragon to jump, and said that I have to go to Pagoda Mountain tomorrow to apologize to the tower god for the child, otherwise, the madness of the dragon will not be cured.
Du Juan interjected, you should also go, it's better to go with Longlai's father, now you don't need to clean the pagoda, Xu Sijin's mother and stepfather and I have already washed the inside of the pagoda. Of course, you should buy some offerings to offer in front of the tower god and ask the tower god to forgive the child's sins.
Ma Yinxing nodded, with a hint of helplessness on her face, which was particularly obvious under the light. The dragon jumped and looked up at the cuckoo, his heart was very entangled, but he still didn't say a word.
