"Granny Tian, the woman in Huangtian Town has a bad nightmare, if you always know something, can you tell us what is going on." Jin Daochang took a sip of tea and asked softly, Tian Liumei is still the oldest person here, and what she does is a good thing to save the villagers, no matter how much doubt she has in her heart, she should be respected.

Tian Liumei obviously knew what was going on, and her hand pouring tea stagnated slightly, and then quickly regained her skill: "What can I know as an old woman." ”

"Over the years, the younger generation of girls have stopped learning Nüshu, and the evil disease has gradually disappeared, and there has been no attack in the new generation of women. Song Siyuan and the others were originally here to solve the problem, and bluntly said the situation they were aware of, Tian Liumei shook her head and smiled: "What do you mean, I am doing evil magic behind my back, so that these women who have studied Nüshu have a seizure?" ”

"There's no way to know for sure, but it's really about you." Song Siyuan nodded. Tian Liumei picked up the needlework basket on the grinding plate, threaded the needle and threaded the soles of her shoes: "I do know that they will have nightmares, but I am only treating them and alleviating their diseases, and other things have nothing to do with me at all, if you really notice this matter, you should understand that the first person to have nightmares is Mrs. Hu Yuxiang." ”

"Back then, when she had a nightmare for the first time, I was still working as a coolie in the northern camp at that time, and at that time, the capital was thousands of miles away from Hunan Province, and you can't say that I used witchcraft or evil magic on the old lady Hu Yunxiang from a distance of thousands of miles." Tian Liumei's words are true, when Mrs. Hu became ill, she was indeed not in Huangtian Town, which means that Mrs. Tian is probably not the culprit of the evil spirit, but, judging from the situation over the years, she must also know what is going on, at least it is slightly related to the evil disease.

"So, since you didn't do these things, how did you deal with the Nightmare? Mrs. Hu said that you do have a hand in relieving the symptoms, even if you can't make the evil disappear, you can make the symptoms get milder and milder. Tian Liumei lowered her head and continued: "Think about it, it was the Shentang Tianfei from Huangtian Town back then, which made them have this kind of evil disease, these Tianfei themselves want to do good things for the people, how do you know that they were arrested by the government and sunk the pond, if there is really a wronged soul, it is time to take revenge now, perhaps, it is really a ghost and a god." Yue Guanchao sneered, and scoffed at this statement: "Granny Tian, if you are wronged, you still pay attention to the owner of the debt, no matter how wronged the concubine is these days, it is the Yongming County government that sinks the pond, it is precisely the Hu family who took the people of Huangtian Town to fish these people out of the water and bury them, if you want to take revenge, these concubines should also find the government, why don't you see people in the government have hysteria." ”

"Isn't it?"

"Ghosts and gods also bully the soft and fear the hard, and only dare to bully the unarmed people, even women who have nothing to do with this matter." Tian Liumei bit off the silk thread and explained: "Young people, sometimes it is not the government that does evil, but the government that is coerced by the public opinion to do evil, how do you know that these people are innocent." ”

"Back then!" She paused, picked up the embroidery needle and threaded it into the insole: "Back then, these days the concubine wanted to take the remaining Taiping army and continue to do things for the people of Yongming County, at least, under their protection, the government would not dare to mess around, after all, the Taiping army skinned officials alive, these officials and masters knew that they cared about the black gauze hat on their heads and the stinky skin on their bodies, and they didn't dare to do anything to the people, everything was just thunder and rain." ”

"Just." Tian Liumei's words changed: "The people of Huangtian Town feel that as long as these Taiping soldiers are in one day, they will have to be tortured by the government, in order to get a stable life, they can only listen to the words of the government, report each other's family members of the concubine and the family members of the Taiping army, and the government also makes a fuss about these people's families, which forced these people to show up, and were either beheaded by the government or hanged in the pond." She sighed and continued to talk about the past: "In the end, these concubines have to be willing to die in order to protect their families, but even so, their families are all dead and crippled, unless they give heavy profits to bribe the government, otherwise, there is generally no good end." Tian Liumei paused, and a hint of banter flashed in her eyes: "The most ironic thing is that after the Taiping army forces were cleared, these people did not fall into any advantage, and the government will not let them live in peace. She grabbed the needle and thread in her hand: "Think about it, the remnants of the Taiping Army have been wiped out in this way, although the government wants to suppress the bandits, is it that the people are not wrong at all?" If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't see Mount Tai and drove all the Taiping troops to this one, the ending would not have been so tragic. ”

"If there are really ghosts and gods, how can they let go of the people of Yongming County, back then, the concubines were all in the Fengzu River Shentang, and Huangtian Town was the most vicious, is it reasonable." When she said this, Tian Liumei looked at Yue Guanchao: "If you want to say this, there is a debtor who is wronged, and you just need to take revenge on the people of Huangtian Town." ”

"Granny Tian, as far as I know, your family has also been reported by the people, and even the ancestral house has been sold, don't you hate the Yongming County Government? If it were you, wouldn't you want to take revenge on the people of Yongming County? Yue Guanchao's words, Tian Liumei shook her head for a while, she retorted: "Back then, it was indeed me who followed the Taiping Army, my family could have this experience, although I was angry, I also knew that it was the price that must be paid, these years, I have been treating and saving people in Baixiongling, and I have already resolved these grudges in my heart, and I just want to do more good deeds and accumulate some yin virtue for myself." ”

"If I really did it, why should I bother to relieve their symptoms, is it just to walk in vain?" Tian Liumei said that they really haven't heard of the past, Yue Guanchao didn't expect that Concubine Tian was sunk in the pond and there are so many insiders, if it is according to her words, what retribution the people of Yongming County really suffered, it is completely reasonable, this old lady can really see it, she can save so many people, how can she do evil for this Chen sesame rotten grain.

"So, what do you think of their evil spirits?" Song Siyuan knew that Tian Liumei had no intention of doing evil, so she was a little relieved and asked sincerely.

"If it's not a ghost, then someone must be targeting." Tian Liumei's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and Yue Guanchao continued to ask, "Who?" Speaking of this, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Taiping Army." ”
