The reactions of the eldest aunt and grandma seemed to support Shen Luzhu's guess, but if you want to figure out what is going on and get the pendant back, it is not enough to guess alone.

At the end of the first month, Uncle Chu and his wife, who had been staying at Li Xiucai's house in the town for nearly ten years, returned to Gushan Village, and they came back with their three-year-old grandson Chu Mingxuan. The day after the three grandfathers and grandsons returned to the village, they came to the old mansion.

"Yo, come and hug grandma, why did you two bring Mingxuan back?"

Uncle Chu sighed: "Daddy and Auntie, I'm afraid his father-in-law is not very good!" ”

Grandpa Chu put down the hand that was teasing his great-grandson, turned around and asked, "Isn't it just that I drank too much wine and fell, it's not good after so long, could it be that I broke my bones?" ”

"As the old saying goes, if you really break your arms and legs for a hundred days, you really have to live and raise for a while, how can it be so fast."

"A-Niang is right, it is true that the bones were broken, but not the arms and legs, but the waist! Then Li Xiucai broke his waist! ”

"What? If this man even broke his waist, would he still be alive? ”

Not only Grandma Chu, but also the Chu family were shocked! Even Shen Luzhu shook his head secretly, it is the modern era where Chinese and Western medicine are very developed in the previous life, if you say that your waist is broken, even if you save your life, I am afraid that you will have to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life!

Not to mention this ancient period where the medical conditions are quite backward, although Grandma Chu asked more straightforwardly, there is nothing wrong with it, even if this Li Xiucai is still alive now, I am afraid that it will not last too long!

Seeing that everyone seemed to have some misunderstanding, the eldest aunt hurriedly took over the conversation: "Dad, you make it clear, why is your waist broken!" Don't get me wrong, daddy, auntie, that's not what you mean! ”

"The boss said it was broken, and you said no, can you make it clear at one time, it's really a desperate person, what's wrong?"

"Lang Zhong said that the bones on the waist were broken, but it was not the kind of bones on the legs that were broken, that means that it was half-broken, and it was dislocated and disjointed in the flesh!"

"It's not the same as a disjointed arm, find an old man to push it up, and it's over!"

"Auntie, we originally thought the same way, when I first arrived in the town, my father-in-law had been having a high fever, I was awake for a while, I was confused, I couldn't move, and I screamed in pain when I touched it! Lang Zhong had no choice but to prescribe a prescription to reduce swelling and fever first, and hang it with decoction. Later, it finally got better, and Na Lang Zhongyi checked and found that the bones in his legs were fine, but it was his waist that was broken, maybe it was too bad, and it was not easy to use even his legs!

I found a lot of Lang Zhong, touched the bones on his waist and shook his head, saying that this waist is not the same as the bones on his arms and legs, and he can't push and reset it like his arm is out of joint. ”

"It's so serious, what can I do after that?"

The eldest aunt shook her head, full of regret: "Lang Zhongrang removed the soft quilt on the bed and slept on the hard bedboard, saying that it can only be raised like this, and when the misplaced bones grow long and strong, take a look, it is best not to affect the upper body, but you can only lie on the bed in the future." The daughter-in-law and her mother are busy taking care of their father-in-law, and Ah Ren has to take the imperial examination in August, and now is the time when they need to work hard, so we will bring Ming Xuan back! ”

"Good man, alas......"

Because there is a promising eldest grandson in the family, Grandpa Chu knows more about studying for the imperial examination than ordinary people: "Boss, isn't the imperial examination every three years, shouldn't it be next year?" Why do you have to take the exam in August this year? ”

"It seems that there is some kind of Enke, Ah Ren said that the Queen Mother is an old man, and she is going to celebrate her sixtieth birthday this year, and in order to celebrate her birthday, she specially added a imperial examination this year!" Uncle Chu didn't understand very much, but he just told him what his eldest son said and repeated it to his father over and over again.

Although Li Xiucai's experience is embarrassing, but the Chu family has not thought about this matter for the time being, thinking about whether it will have any impact on Chu Ren in the future, Grandma Chu heard that the eldest grandson was going to see the imperial examination again this year, and her attention was instantly diverted, after all, for her, Chu Ren's imperial examination road is the right thing.

"Then this is suddenly advanced by a year, will it be bad for our Ah Ren?"

"Ah Niang, my daughter-in-law also asked him to come, Ah Ren said that a year in advance is the same for all candidates, and our Ah Ren has long expected that this year may be open Enke, mentally prepared, not afraid!"

"That's good, that's good, the ancestors and the ancestors bless our Chu Renshun smoothly and prosperously, and shine on the lintel of the Chu family as soon as possible!"

Grandma Chu's words seemed to remind the Wang family, and she suddenly slapped her face: "Auntie, it's better to have a temple fair on February 19, let's go to the incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless our Ah Ren to get ahead as soon as possible!" ”

"It's okay to go to the incense, ask for a charm again, and give Ah Ren to go to bad luck, saving the Li family from affecting him!"

As the largest temple in Changshui Town, Qichan Temple will hold the grandest temple fair of the year on February 19 every year.

The fair was held for three consecutive days starting from February 19. One is to pray for the upcoming spring ploughing, and then February 19 is the birthday of Guanzi Bodhisattva, which has extraordinary significance to the Buddhism and nature, and the whole town and even the surrounding people will come to participate.

Not only that, but starting from the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, along the road up the mountain, and then continuing to the open space in front of the temple gate, you will be filled with all kinds of stalls by small vendors who have heard the news. There are all kinds of knick-knacks that sell them, those who sell sugar gourds, those who sell tea, those who sell soup noodles, those who sell sugar noodles, and there are many stalls that ask for divination, in short, everything is very lively!

Before sunrise, the entire Qizen Temple is busy in an orderly manner, and the masters in the temple wear brand-new monks' robes, sit on the seats, and chant the scriptures loudly.

Then, with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, the closed temple door was opened to welcome the believers who had been waiting outside for a long time to enter the temple. After opening the altar to pray for blessings, followed behind everyone to receive the vegetarian bags distributed in the temple, and donated some incense money, Chu Grandma and Uncle Niang wanted to go to the main hall to pray for Chu Ren, so they took Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi to send the Zi Guanyin Hall to pray for blessings.

The young couple received incense and candles in front of the hall, lined up into the hall, knelt on the futon and kowtowed and prayed, and after the silent recitation, Shen Luzhu opened his eyes and quietly looked at Chu Yi beside him, the man's expression was solemn, and he looked very pious and serious.

has been married for more than a year, and they don't seem to have talked about children yet, does Chu Yi want a child that belongs to them? Seeing that he has been talking to the Bodhisattva so seriously for so long, he should have thought about it!

Thinking of this, Shen Luzhu clasped his hands together again, closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "Bodhisattva, please bless this man next to me, he can get what he wants, and his life will be smooth!" ”

Coming out of the Guanyin Palace, the two went back to the square in front of the main hall, Xu is that there are too many people who enter the incense today, and the grandmother and the aunt are not over yet, and the little couple simply went around the neighborhood.

The path on the front right side of the main hall leads to a small pond in the temple, Shen Luzhu used to come with Shen's mother and second aunt, and there are many koi fish in the pond, as well as two huge turtles, which are full of lotus flowers in summer! However, it is still a harsh winter, and there is a layer of ice on the water, and the ice is covered with a thick layer of snow, so you can't see anything.

Because of this, there are no people near the pond, and it is as quiet as a paradise compared to the rest of the temple.

When walking back, there was a raccoon cat on the path, which was lying in the middle of the path, Shen Luzhu walked over softly, the cat heard the sound, his ears moved, he half-opened his eyelids, looked at Shen Luzhu, who had walked in front of him, closed his eyes again, and continued to sleep.

"Why are you lying here, aren't you cold?" After saying that, seeing that the cat didn't pay attention to himself, Shen Luzhu tentatively stretched out his index finger and touched the head of the civet cat, who knew that the cat actually turned over, belly up, and looked up at Shen Luzhu, the look seemed to say: "Don't touch it yet!" ”

The little couple stroked the cat happily, to be precise, Shen Luzhu was happily, not that Chu Yi didn't like cats, but the cat refused to touch him, and Chu Yi could only watch from the sidelines.

"This female benefactor, can you let me take the raccoon flower away, it's cold outside, and the master is afraid that it will freeze and spoil it."

Shen Luzhu heard the words and hurriedly picked up the cat called Tanuki and sent it to the hands of the little novice, who knew that as soon as he let go, the cat rolled to the ground with a turnaround, standing at the feet of the little novice and stretching his waist!

Thinking that he was not holding it steady, he took a closer look, and seeing that the tanuki cat was fine, Shen Luzhu hurriedly apologized to the little novice in front of him: "Sorry, little master!" ”

Xiao Shami glanced at the raccoon cat that was licking its paws at his feet, and smiled at the two: "The female donor doesn't have to worry about it, the tanuki has always been disliked to be touched, and I just saw that it was willing to let the female donor touch it, and the little monk also felt very novel!" ”

Hearing Xiao Shami say this, Shen Luzhu also felt very novel, tilted his head to look at the raccoon cat, who knew that the cat also tilted his head and looked back, as if he had understood human nature!

Seeing this, Xiao Shami touched his cuffs, took out a lucky bag from it and handed it to Shen Luzhu: "It seems that the raccoon flower must like the donor very much, and this lucky bag will be given to the donor, as a thank you gift for taking care of the raccoon flower, I wish you what you want, Amitabha." ”

"Thank you, little master!"

The tanuki cat followed the little novice, lazily walked away, the little couple saw that the time was almost up, so they returned to the square in front of the main hall to wait, and after a short time Grandma Chu and the eldest aunt walked out of the side door, but their faces did not look very good.

The Chu family is in the first wave to enter the temple gate, when going down the mountain, there are still a lot of people who come to the incense to play in the uphill, there are lively stalls on both sides, and the road left in the middle is crowded on the mountain again, and the family can only move down little by little along the stalls on the side.

This made the eldest aunt Wang, who was not in a good mood, even more irritable, and finally came to the relatively spacious halfway up the mountain, Grandma Chu and Wang were too tired to rest, and they were about to rest, when they heard someone calling themselves in the stall on the side.

It was an old man with a goatee and half-white hair, who seemed to be about the same age as Grandpa Chu, and was pointing at the eldest aunt at the moment, signaling her to come over: "This lady in a blue jacket, the old man looks at you full of depression, as if there is something to worry about, come on, let the old man talk to you!" ”

The eldest aunt in the blue jacket is a little bored standing in place at the moment, there are many fortune tellers on both sides of this mountain road, but it is true and false, I am afraid that there are a few people who are really capable, and there are many liars, and I don't know how to let him target himself, I don't want to deal with it, who knows that the old man opened his mouth again.

"If you don't believe it, I'll mention you, ask for a sign in the temple, I'm afraid it's unsatisfactory!"

After hearing this, the eldest aunt and Grandma Chu glanced at each other, and walked forward suspiciously and sat down on the small stool in front of the stall: "Master, then can you tell me in detail?" ”
