Chapter 644: Paying in Secret
At this moment, an old man on crutches outside the house called She Qingye. The current She Qingye motioned to Shi Jiuming to let the old man come into the house. The old man, with a copper-colored face, was wrinkled, and looked anxious. He looked at the current She Qingye who came up and said, I heard that you have some magical powers, can you see my son's illness? The current She Qingye pinched her fingers and nodded slightly, saying I know what happened to your son, is it related to snakes?
Yes! That's it. My son Zuo Suo caught a big python yesterday morning, two meters long, weighing 45 pounds. At that time, a villager bought it at a high price, and in the afternoon my son fell ill, and for some reason, he said that he always felt a snake wrapped around his neck, which was very uncomfortable, and it was difficult to exhale, as if he was going to suffocate people to death.
And that's not all, he's still dizzy. I wanted to bring my son to you, but the family refused, saying that you were engaged in feudal superstition, so it was better to send him to the commune health center for treatment. Therefore I did not bring my son, but came to you alone. You just said that it has something to do with snakes, I wonder if my son caught that big python and caused the trouble?
The old man's consideration is good. But I can't save your son. Now Yu Qingye said, however, let me tell you a way, your son's illness will be cured.
Please speak. The old man bowed his hand.
Your family should quickly find the villager who bought the snake, return the money to him, let him release the python, and keep your son back to normal, it's okay. Now She Qingye said this, paused, frowned and continued, this matter should be sooner rather than later, if it is late, if the big python is killed, your son will definitely die. Because the big python is 300 years old, it has already become a preliminary, and it can do witchcraft, and if your son catches it, of course he will be retaliated by it.
When the old man heard this, he became more and more anxious, and a row of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his sleeve to wipe it, and hurried back to his second production team on crutches, and found the villager who bought the snake, Zuo Laicai, to return the money from selling the snake to him.
But he said, I have already handed over the python to Xiong Dan, the boss of the fourth team to collect snakes, even if I ask him to retreat, he may not agree, and what reason is there to regret the deal? Uncle, if you want to return the snake money to me, and ask me to give the snake to your son again, you have to give a reason!
Zuo Laicai, you know, Zuo Suo is sick, it is because he caught the big python, it should not be sold to you, you return the big python to Zuo Suo now, and his illness will be cured. The old man stomped on the ground with his cane as he spoke, and noticed the sound of "橐橐".
What the hell do you say, it's really superstitious. Zuo Laicai accused the old man that Zuo Suo's illness had nothing to do with snake catching. You want to collect the snake boss Xiong Danda, he used to catch snakes, I don't know how many snakes he killed, it's all fine, but your son catches snakes, just catching a snake is something, who will believe it?
The big python caught by Zuo Suo yesterday morning was 300 years old and became a snake spirit, and if it was not done well, my son's life could not be saved. The old man said this in a matter-of-fact manner.
You're talking too much, I don't believe it. It's impossible for me to go to Xiong Danda to return the money and get the snake back and release it to your son. Zuo Laicai started to criticize, he didn't care, and his attitude was so tough.
The old man saw that it didn't work, so he went on crutches to find the four teams of bears that collected snakes, explaining that his son Zuo Suo's sudden strange illness was directly related to the capture of this python, and asked him to release it, as for how much money he spent to buy it from Zuo Laicai, the old man said that he would return it to him slowly.
Xiong Danda sneered for a while, saying that I am not a big python that I bought in your son's hands, and I can't find it if you look for me, and I can't listen to you. He also pointed to the big python that was coiled into a large pile in the snake cage and said, Now that the snake has come to me, it has appreciated. The day after tomorrow, there is a boss in Guangdong who will pay a higher price to collect this python, it is said that the python gallbladder is particularly valuable, can you afford it?
How can the old man have money? He had no choice, he knew that he couldn't talk to Xiong Danda, so he lost a word, Boss Xiong, I can kowtow to you, you must not kill this big python, otherwise my son's life will not be saved.
The old man on crutches turned around and left, and wanted to ask the current She Qingye with magical powers to solve the problem. When he walked out of the courtyard gate, he also heard Xiong Danda say back, whether to kill this python or not, it's my business, it's your business?
The old man became more and more anxious, and came to the door of Shi Jiuming's house in the first production team on crutches again. The doors and windows of his house were closed, and there was no one at home. The old man didn't give up, standing at the door and shouting a few times, is Aoba at home? There was finally a response from the house: she wasn't home. It was the voice of her man, Shi Jiuming. The old man asked again, when will she return? Shi Jiuming replied in the house again, then it was not very clear, he might have to go back, and he would return very late.
I waited for her to come back and begged her to save my son. The old man said stubbornly, and stubbornly stood at the door and did not leave.
This brought pressure to Shi Jiuming in the house, an old man, it was not good for him to wait at the door for a long time, as if he was unkind and unjust, and he was suspected of disrespecting the old man. Then he persuaded through the closed door, old man, you better go back! Can't you come to my house tomorrow Aoba?
No way. I waited until Aoba came back. The old man spoke resolutely.
Shi Jiuming didn't make a sound. Seeing that it was not early, he approached the door in the house, and looked out through the crack in the door, the old man was still standing at the gate, perhaps tired of standing, and grabbed the crutch with both hands and held it. Shi Jiuming felt that he couldn't persuade the old man to leave, so he took a chair from the house, opened the door, put it at the door and said, old man, it's rare for you to stand, sit! Since you have to wait, I can't help it.
Then he entered again, and closed it, and latched it. As soon as the hand was removed from the latch, he heard the old man say outside, "This is also strange, why did you close the door tightly?" Are you afraid of me? I'm not a robber, even if I'm a robber, I'm so dozens of years old, will I be disrespectful to the old?
Shi Jiuming said in the house, old man, you misunderstood, I closed the doors and windows before you came, and it was not aimed at you.
So why are you closing the doors and windows? It's so strange that there are people in the family in the blue sky and white days. The old man counted outside the door.
Old man, just wait at the door, don't say anything else, I can't explain much. Shi Jiuming in the room could only say this. Of course he knew that She Qingye was lying on the bed now, but her spirit body left for a while, and when she left, like last time, she instructed Shi Jiuming to close the doors and windows of the house tightly, and not let the living enter the house, she would come back when she went out to finish her work.
At about the second watch, it was so dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, and the old man hadn't left yet, and he was still sitting at the door of Shi Jiuming's house waiting for the current She Qingye.
He was so anxious that he tapped the ground with his cane from time to time, when he suddenly heard the sound of Shi Jiuming's house opening the window, and then the door also opened, and a light reflected the person who opened the door, the current She Qingye. When the old man saw it, he was taken aback, and wanted to say something, but now She Qingye spoke first with a smile, Daddy Zuo, I made you wait for a long time, and now that the matter is settled, your son is fine.
The old man looked at her inexplicably and said, "Why don't you come out so late at home?" You say, my son is fine, is it true? A big question mark hung in my mind.
The old man was very frustrated, thinking that he had really waited in vain for so long and that it would not work. Just as he was shaking his head, he suddenly heard a familiar call, Dad-
The old man followed the prestige, and saw his son Zuo Suo coming from the front of the row house with a torch, still shouting, "My illness is cured."
The old man greeted his son, and saw that his son's face was red by the luster of the torch, and he looked very bright. How's your illness getting better?
I know and I don't know. It is clear that the bear who collected the snake took the big python in the bag to the wild and released it in front of me and Zuo Laicai. What I don't know is that Zuo Laicai and Xiong Danda are both very sick this afternoon, and I have a symptom, as if I have a snake wrapped around my neck, I can't breathe, and my head is dizzy, and they both went to the commune health center and shared a ward with me.
Suddenly, a woman's voice in the air said, "If you let that python go, all three of you will be well." Xiong Danda agreed to release the snake at that time, but before the snake was released, people were much more relaxed, as if the snake wrapped around our necks suddenly left.
It's amazing. The old man sighed, where did he know? This afternoon, Shi Jiuming's house closed the doors and windows tightly, it turned out that the current She Qingye broke away from the possession and became a white snake spirit to consult with the snake spirit of the big python, and cast a spell to make the whole Zuo Laicai and Xiong Danda, so as to force them to comply.
Dad, I'm going to pick you up with a torch. Zuo Suo pulled the old man with one hand and held a torch high with the other, lighting the way home.
You father and son, go well. The current She Qingye said, still standing at the door and watching the father and son walk away.
Aoba, you've helped a lot, and their father and son don't know yet. Shi Jiuming said this, feeling that the current She Qingye was secretly not worth paying.
Since I am practicing, I don't care about gains and losses, and if I count gains and losses, I don't call it cultivation. I helped with this, and their father and son, and everyone else didn't know about it. Now She Qingye said so, Shi Jiuming felt that she was really detached.
That night, the current She Qingye seemed to be a different person again, not sleeping in the same bed with Shi Jiuming, but making a quilt and sleeping on a bamboo bed. Shi Jiuming wanted to make love to her. She said, Jiuming, I will go to Baji Mountain Baji Nunnery tomorrow to shave as a monk, and I usually have to fast for three days to show the piety and purity of my family's heart, but I have only fasted for one night, and I am already ashamed and uneasy.
Aoba, I like you, I like you more now, don't you go out of the house? Shi Jiuming knelt down in front of her on one knee and kept her in a begging tone.
Unexpectedly, the current She Qingye burst into tears, got up from the bamboo bed where she was seated, and bent down to help Shi Jiuming and said, Of course I don't want to leave you. But Jiu Ming, you know? I'm actually not your She Qingye, She Qingye has died a long time ago, and I'm just She Qingye's possession. I am a white snake spirit who has practiced for 500 years, don't be afraid, I will never hurt people, and I will help people.
Shi Jiuming nodded again and again: No wonder you are much more powerful than the original She Qingye, you have magical powers, and you can also treat people. The people of the Shi Jiajia Brigade are now praising you for being good. Even if you are a white snake spirit, you are also a good snake spirit, I admit it, and I like you. Are you not a monk? I will be with you every day, and I will be good to you. Saying that, Shi Jiuming hugged the current She Qingye tightly and refused to let go.
