Chapter 33: Red Luan Falls into a Dream
"Nonsense!"
"Even the belly of a cow can't hold three buckets of rice. ”
It was a rough and slick woman who spoke, she was holding a small stammering in one hand and a half-sized child in the other, like an old hen guarding her cubs, and stopped in front of Bo Ziyu.
Bo Ziyu held his head high with a knife on his shoulder, and his attitude was arrogant.
"Yes or no, I know. ”
If you want to talk about Bo Ziyu, after careful contact, you found that her character is not bad.
is quite enthusiastic, brave and almost reckless, and the sense of responsibility is too rich, but he is always used to putting on a domineering posture when doing things.
Maybe it's because of his youth and flamboyant nature, or maybe it's because he can't scare jackals and sheep if he doesn't look like a wolf in this market.
In a word.
It was up to him to quarrel with the woman.
Li Changan slowly looked around himself.
............
In a shop.
After careful interrogation by Bo Ziyu.
The three buckets of rice in the little stammering words are indeed bragging, but it is also true that his brother's meal has suddenly increased dramatically in the past few days, more than doubled.
Anyway, there was nothing to do left and right, and with the idea of having dates and not hitting three poles, the two still set off to investigate.
The little stammer's home is a small winery.
It's not spacious, and it's full of lingering wine and the smell of stinky socks from fermented grains.
The Taoist priest turned around slightly, just like many wineries in Xiaoshui City, just an ordinary small workshop, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
On the other hand, Bo Ziyu showed some signs of losing control.
"Can you believe the nonsense that a child says?"
The woman's voice was sharp.
"Besides, this half-grown baby is the age to eat a long meal. What's wrong with eating more? Eat more and you can grow into a monster?"
As soon as the words landed, Bo Ziyu's face changed.
Fu Dao asked sharply:
"How do you know?!"
The woman's vigor shrank in fright.
"What's the hell?"
She clamped the two cubs tightly and muttered.
"Who doesn't know this? If you eat too much, you will become a monster, or the officer who came to investigate the case yesterday said it personally. ”
Bo Ziyu almost crooked his nose in anger.
Originally, the investigation of the demon mutiny was carried out secretly through a serial murder case, the purpose of which was to be afraid of startling the snake, arousing the vigilance of the culprit behind the scenes, and preventing him from actively shrinking or doing something crazy.
But now it's good, and everyone knows about it.
Maybe it was because the front teeth of the official who did the work were leaking, but it was more likely that he deliberately revealed it, so as to mobilize the people to be vigilant and report it on their own, saving the hard work and danger of door-to-door investigation.
I have to say that the person who came up with this method is really a clever turtle, but he probably doesn't care about what the consequences will be caused after the incident.
But Bo Ziyu cares, and he is angry.
He gritted his teeth and crunched, causing the other lady to quietly retreat.
Li Changan hurriedly went up.
looked the little stammering brother up and down first.
is a thin and delicate half-sized boy, such a person is associated with the word "rice bucket", and at such a point in time, it is really suspicious.
But......
"Auntie. ”
The Taoist priest asked.
"Do you have a dog in this house?"
When the woman heard this, she was at first moment-dazed, and then her eyes suddenly puffed out, and she reached out and pulled out her eldest son's ear.
"You stinky boy, you're secretly feeding the wild dogs outside, aren't you?"
"No, no, no...... 嗷~嗷...... Yes, yes, yes!"
The half-sized boy was pulled and screamed.
"I just look at it pitiful......"
"Poor, the old lady has worked hard to pull you two, and you little rabbit cub dare to get me another one?"
The boy didn't dare to argue anymore, so he had to cry out for mercy again and again.
But his wife frowned again.
"Not true. ”
"You little bunny hasn't been out in the past two days...... Okay, you've got the dog in the workshop, and I'll tell you where it is!"
The kid didn't speak for a moment, only rolled his eyes. can be called a knowing son Mo Ruo's mother, and the woman rubs her teeth.
"Okay, you little king, eight calves. ”
"You use the temple as a kennel?!"
A moment later.
The door to a palm-sized shrine was open.
Inside is a portrait of the god of wine, and a green coat?
This is a woman's shirt, the style is very rare, it should not be the current system.
At the entrance of the shrine, the half-grown boy was hugging a big white dog, and he was suffering from the storm from the old lady.
There's not much to see next.
The two of them were about to leave.
The woman also hurriedly rested her tongue and sent the two to the door.
"But thanks to this Dao Master. ”
She deliberately glanced at the catch.
"Otherwise, my family will not be wronged by some people. ”
Bo Ziyu's face turned dark, but he was still entangled in the leak of secrets, and he didn't bother to bother with her.
Li Changan watched it funny.
"It's me who is bothered. ”
"But if there's anything out of the ordinary, please be careful. ”
"...... as it should be"
The woman agreed, but she hesitated.
"If you want to talk about unusual things, there are some such things. ”
The Taoist priest was stunned.
Is there really one?
"Please. ”
"Just a few days ago, I often had the same dream, dreaming of a red light into my stomach, those days, I always felt that my stomach fell a little. ”
"Is there any discomfort?"
"I just felt an appetite. ”
What kind of anomaly is this?!
"Congratulations. ”
The Taoist priest still laughed.
"Red luan into the belly is a good omen. ”
"Phew~"
The woman hurriedly waved her hand.
"I'm a lot older. ”
"I'm old and good. ”
"Hey, where does that old ghost of my family have this ability!"
............
The woman sent the two Taoist priests away with her front foot, and caught her eldest son who was about to run away when she saw that the situation was not good.
A handful of the green clothes enshrined in the shrine were stuffed into his arms.
The half-grown child cried and mourned.
"Why is it me again this year?"
"Less nonsense. The woman made a tiger face, "The house is full of handles, what else can I do?"
"Little brother?"
He stammered, and he couldn't read the words well. ”
"You're ...... Yourself"
"Phew. ”
The woman crossed her waist.
"Can I live with your father?"
"It's not ......"
Before the kid finished muttering, he was slapped on the head.
Even bluffed and frightened, he entered the shrine and "transformed".
............
After a pass of oolong.
The two of them went out of the brewery.
Li Changan recalled the green clothes enshrined in the shrine, and was still curious.
Although the worship of gods is already strange. There are offerings to the living, to the dead, to mountains, rivers, stones, trees, animals, and even to a piece of with a unique shape, but it is very unusual to worship a single piece of clothing.
"What's that?"
At this time, Bo Ziyu's anger was almost gone, so he explained with a smile: "That's the wine concubine." ”
"Drunkard?"
"This is going to start with the legend of our Xiaoshui. ”
Catch it quickly.
According to legend, the god of wine's surname is Du Mingchun, and he is also a Xiaoshui person, and he is also a winemaker. One day, when I went into the mountains to pick a mountain spring to make wine, I found a woman with a beautiful appearance, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they were about to get married. ”
This woman is very smart and virtuous, not only gave birth to a son and a daughter for Du Chun, but also took care of the family business in an orderly manner, and became a rich family in just a few years. But this woman has a quirk, that is, she never goes out when it rains. ”
However, one day, Xiaoshui encountered a once-in-a-century rainstorm, and Du Chun was going to the mountains to pick a spring but did not return. The woman was worried about her husband and braved the rain to go. Fortunately, at the foot of the mountain, the husband and wife met safely. ”
"But at this time. ”
"The rainstorm suddenly stopped, and a rainbow appeared in the sky, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, except for a cyan color. But in an instant, the woman turned into a blue light, escaped to the sky, and made up for the seven-colored rainbow, leaving only a green coat in Du Chun's arms. ”
It turned out that this woman was born from the blue rainbow in the sky, and the reason why she avoided the rain was to stay with her husband in the mortal world, but after all, she was also worried about her husband's safety and was found by the rain god. ”
After losing his wife, Du Jiang wanted to die of grief, so he scattered all his family wealth, drank in front of the clothes left by his wife, and died of drunkenness for three years. ”
After his death, the people of Xiaoshui remembered his kindness during his lifetime, and because of his superb wine-making skills, he was worshiped as the god of wine, and sacrificed for many years, which gradually became a custom. ”
As for his wife, she naturally became a wine concubine. Because it turned into a green rainbow and left, it did not place a statue of the gods, and only worshipped with a green shirt. But in fact, we don't often worship the wine concubine, and at the beginning of each year's winemaking, the young women in the family will wear the enshrined green clothes and pretend to be the wine concubine to comfort the pain of the wine god's lovesickness, so as to seek the mellow flavor of the wine. ”
Listen to the story.
The front part is old-fashioned but normal, but the back is ......
Li Changan smacked it a few times.
What kind of broken custom is this?
This Dionysian is not a serious god!
"What if there are no young women in the house?"
Bo Ziyu smiled and was about to answer......
"It's Li Daoyou in front?"
............
"I heard that Daoyou first beheaded the tiger aunt, and then punished the two ghosts, and a certain person felt refreshed in the hospital bed. ”
The one who stopped Li Changan on the street was Feng Chong, a round-faced Taoist priest who had not been seen for many days.
"Where, it's just the right time. ”
Li Changan said a few words of humility, and saw that his face was still a little haggard, so he asked about his recent situation.
"On the night of the self-charm, I was fortunate to be rescued by Taoist friends. ”
Since then, he has been placing orders to heal his injuries in the Water Moon View outside the city. Thanks to the careful care of the real child, in addition, there is also the pill brought out from the master. As a result, his injuries gradually improved, and he was able to move on the ground today. ”
"It just so happened that a family in the city came to ask for help. First, I came to thank the real person for his kindness, and secondly, I was also entangled to the end, so I walked on this experience for the real person. ”
The three of them walked and talked as they went, until they reached a family.
"This is it. ”
Feng Chong invited.
"It's better to go. ”
"I want to have a drink afterwards, I just want to hear the details of the 'demon transformation' in the city. ”
Li Changan said with a smile.
"Dare to disobey. ”
............
The family's surname is Hou, and it seems that they have been waiting for a long time.
There was a knock on the door outside, and the owner of the house immediately brought someone out to greet him.
The man looked haggard and wanted to come to the house to make him particularly troubled.
After seeing that Qingping didn't come to the real person, but instead came to two Taoist priests and a strange combination of catching fast.
Although there were disappointments and doubts, he also bowed his hands with grace.
"The hard road chief has come to the door. ”
"Entrusted by real people, I dare not do my best. ”
Feng Chong returned the salute.
Thinking about inquiring about the details of the "demon change" from Li Changan in recent days, he didn't have more polite greetings, and went straight to the point.
"I heard in the mountains that your lady is itchy......"
He turned his head to look at the affectionate woman next to the man.
"But?"
Hou Yuanwai didn't say anything, but his expression was a little unnatural for a while.
But the woman took the initiative to bow down.
"The Taoist chief misunderstood, it was the concubine's sister who had to bother the Taoist chief. ”
Hou Yuanwai hurriedly nodded and beckoned to the servants.
"Go and call Madame out. ”
Embarrassingly, the time for half a stick of incense passed.
The lady in his mouth has not come out for a long time, but there is some noise in the backyard.
Not much.
The servant went and returned, whispering a few words in his ear.
The three of them saw that his face was suddenly clouded, and they reluctantly confessed, and rushed to the backyard angrily.
When the Taoist priests saw it, they glanced at each other, and Shi Shiran followed.
to the backyard.
I saw a big-bellied woman pushing two maidservants, and when she saw the waiter, she called out loudly.
"Ah Lang come and save me, they want to kill my child!"
"Nonsense!"
Hou Yuanwai was about to make a color, but he remembered that there were three outsiders behind his buttocks, so he had to barely suppress his anger.
"They are taking you out to see a doctor, how can they harm you?"
"See a doctor?"
The woman shook her head in a daze.
"I'm not sick. ”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the three Taoist priests, but he shrank sharply into the corner.
Pointed to Feng Chong first.
"This man has a thief's eyebrows. ”
He pointed to Bo Ziyu again.
"The man was fierce. ”
"Yikes!"
finally exclaimed and looked at Li Changan.
"This Taoist priest looks strange. ”
"It's not like a good person, Ah Lang, don't be deceived by them. ”
"They're going to kill our children!"
Belch...... The Taoist priest unconsciously touched his face.
In more than 20 years of life, it is the first time I have received such an evaluation.
......
The three of them didn't do much with this crazy talk, but Hou Yuanwai couldn't suppress his anger anymore.
He grabbed it in two or three steps and grabbed it into the woman's big belly.
"Sting. ”
In the sound of tearing.
Hou Yuanwai tore out a large handful of cotton wool from under the woman's bulging clothes.
"Child!
He roared.
"Look at what kids are there?!"
The woman didn't snatch the cotton wool in the hands of the outsider, but just stroked the flattened stomach in a daze.
Suddenly.
"Squeak" laughed.
"My boy is out. ”
She pointed to the woman who had previously called her "sister", that is, the concubine outside the Hou Yuan.
"Come to her. ”
............
After the chickens fly and the dogs jump.
"Since my wife had a miscarriage, she has not been able to accept the facts, thinking that the child is still in the womb. I can only ask my servant to take care of her, hoping that she will one day recover slowly. But for the past two days I have heard the rumors in the city, and I have wondered if my wife's hysteria is the work of a monster, and that in this way, I will not be able to exorcise the demon and make her recover......
Hou Yuanwai looked depressed and explained the ins and outs for the two.
Not much.
The door opened.
Feng Chong walked out apologetically.
“...... Mrs. Ling's symptoms were only caused by heart grief. ”
"Pardon the poor way. ”
The outsider barely managed to squeeze out a little smile.
"Chief, please. ”
"There is a cure for evil, but there is no cure for heart disease. ”
Although the staff invited Feng Chong to be lucky, he still couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard this answer.
His face was gloomy and he waved his hand.
Needless to say.
After that, he sent the honor gold and sent the three people out.
But when she got to the door, her concubine was quietly waiting outside the door.
"What does Madame have to say? ”
Madam.
The simple words made the woman laugh.
But she quickly restrained her joy.
"Don't dare. ”
In a reserved and expectant tone, he said:
"But I asked the Taoist to interpret the dream. ”
"In the past few days, I have always dreamed of red light in my abdomen, and my body is often weak, and my appetite has increased. May I ask the chief, what is the omen?"
"Congratulations, ma'am. ”
Feng Chong said with a smile.
"The red luan is in the belly, which is a good omen for a woman to be happy. ”
After three or two sentences to send away the woman who couldn't help but be happy, Feng Chong turned his head, but found that Li Changan and Bo Ziyu looked strange.
An hour later.
Bo Ziyu's face was solemn.
"I've asked, but all the people in this Lifang, all the women of the right age have had the dream of 'red luan into the belly', and they will be somewhat weak after waking up from the dream. ”
Listen up.
Li Changan groaned.
"Something went wrong......
Feng Chong nodded.
"There will be demons. ”
