Chapter 26: Family Reunion
"Little brother Li Ge, my lady has been out for so long, will something happen?" Wu Ju, who was full of sadness, looked at the young man sitting quietly and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry about Brother Wu, sister-in-law Xinghua is holding a white lantern with incense, generally speaking, ghosts will think that she is a person who hangs herself, if she does what I say, most of the time it will be fine. Li Ge was reassured, and just as he was about to say something, the woman of the martial arts family hurriedly walked in.
"Okay, I've got all Piao'er's soul back. When the pale woman entered the house, she was beaming with joy with a piece of jade in her hand.
"Great. Li Ge's face showed joy when he heard this, he walked to the bedside, took off his piece of jade hanging around the little girl's neck, and immediately said happily, "Sister-in-law Xinghua, you can wear the jade to the child." ”
"Little Brother Li Ge, is it okay now?, do I need to do anything?" Hanging the jade around her daughter's neck, the woman beside the bed hurriedly got up and walked to the young man's side.
"No need, as long as she wears jade for a few days, the remnant soul in the jade senses the familiarity of the body, and will naturally return to the body. As for her physical weakness, it was entirely caused by being haunted by ghosts for three days, and it would be fine to rest and rest for a few days without letting her bask in the sun. ”
"Little brother Li Ge, thank you so much, if it weren't for your help, my Piao'er might have ......" The woman said this, pulling the rough man beside her and kneeling directly in front of the young man.
"Don't dare to do it, get up quickly. Seeing the husband and wife who suddenly knelt down, the young man hurriedly reached out to help, but the two broke away from his hand.
"Little brother Li Ge, my Wuju is a rough man, I haven't read a book, and I don't know what to say, but you saved my family Piao'er, and this kindness will never be forgotten by our husband and wife. The honest man's tone was full of sincerity, and the husband and wife kowtowed to Li Ge before standing up.
"My master said that the ultimate goal of ascetic cultivation is to clear the world and be immaculate, and since the matter of your family has been encountered by me, then I will naturally not stand idly by. After saying this, the young man smiled awkwardly, and then raised his hand and saluted lightly, "This is over, I won't bother." ”
"It's not dawn yet, you can rest at my house for one night first, and leave tomorrow morning. Looking at the back of the young man turning to leave, the husband and wife hurriedly chased out, but when they went out of the room, Li Ge's figure had already arrived at the gate.
"You guys rest early, I'll live on the foggy mountain, and I'll be there in a while. The young man left a hearty voice and walked briskly towards the foggy mountains in the east of the county seat.
The sun was three poles, and the sunlight entered the bamboo building through the window, lying in the room, Li Ge, who opened his sleepy eyes, stretched lazily, put on his shirt and rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.
"Master, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry. The young man's voice fell, he walked to the bathroom and washed his face with a basin of cold water, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed, and then he walked to the door and shouted, "Are you there, Master?"
"Strange, where did the old guy go?" Seeing that no one answered, the young man muttered to himself, went into the kitchen and rummaged for a while, found a few steamed buns that were still hot in the pot, and picked one up and nibbled on it.
Two steamed buns in the belly, when the boy was sitting in the corridor in front of the bamboo building basking in the sun. The figure of the silver-haired old Taoist priest came out of the laurel forest, and the old man's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
"Early in the morning, with such a stinky face, who offended this old guy?" whispered to himself, looking at the old Taoist priest walking towards him, the young man quickly got up and asked, "Master, are you going to that field again?"
"There are steamed buns in the pot, have you eaten them?" The old Taoist priest did not answer the young man's words, but changed the topic and asked with concern.
"I've eaten it. Seeing that Lai Lao Dao did not answer his own question, the young man did not dare to ask more, because he said to himself the temper of this old Taoist, so he changed the topic and asked, "Master, today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and there are five days left before the Chinese New Year's Eve, when will we return to Ziwu Town?"
"Go today, you go and clean up, I haven't seen Lin'er's girl for a long time. When the old Taoist priest heard this, the gloomy complexion on his face immediately returned to normal, and he hummed an unknown tune and sat on the bench.
After more than nine years of learning Taoism, every Chinese New Year's Eve, Lai Laodao would take his apprentices back to Ziwu Town for the New Year. Five years ago, the Li family added another girl, and the old Taoist priest named her Li Lin'er, and he loved her very much.
"Ge'er, after this year, you will be eighteen years old, and the teacher wants to take you out to break through. On the way, the old Taoist priest walked in front with his back hand, and suddenly such a sentence came out.
"Really, Master, great, I've wanted to go out and see it for a long time. When the apprentice heard this, his face suddenly showed joy.
"By the way, the teacher said back then that he would find you a daughter-in-law, do you remember? ”
"Do you really want to find me?" Hearing the old Taoist priest talk about his daughter-in-law, Li Ge remembered that when he apprenticed, the former said that the marriage contract, after so many years, he thought that the old Taoist priest was joking at the time, but he was suddenly asked by this question, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and stayed on the spot in astonishment.
"Stinky boy, let's go. Lao Dao looked back at the apprentice behind him, and said in a kind voice, "You have grown up with a teacher since you were a child, what do you think, I also know, the marriage contract is actually just a joke between me and Xuanying back then, and I will arrange you everywhere then, if you get along, I will naturally support it, and if you don't get along, I won't object." ”
"Oh~" Li Ge responded, and immediately trotted to Lao Dao's side and asked, "By the way, Master, is the Xuanying predecessor you were talking about just now also a cultivator?"
"Yes! she's from the Yunhe faction. The old Taoist priest took out a few winter dates from his pocket, stuffed one into his mouth, and then said, "The Yunhe faction is different from our cloth cloth faction, their faction specializes in medicine and array techniques. ”
"Oh~ Then how do the Taoist doctors and formations of our cloth cloth faction compare to them?"
"Naturally, it can't be compared, our cloth faction majors in magic, medicine, array, divination, and feng shui are all fur. Lai Lao Dao replied to his apprentice, and then said, "Outsiders are also people, our cloth cloth sect is not a Taoist priest who sits and watches meditation, and we also need to eat, drink, wear and live when traveling all over the world." Although we are not refined, we also have to learn these techniques, and their function is also to facilitate the mixing of food in the future when we are in distress. ”
"Understood. Li Ge nodded, and silently followed behind the master in the direction of Meridian Town.
Halfway through, the figure of the master and apprentice appeared at the door of the Li Mansion, and an innocent little girl in the courtyard was sitting on a bamboo horse playing alone.
"Hahaha~ Lin'er. When Lai Laodao saw the little girl, he let out a burst of laughter, and then walked quickly into the house.
"Grandpa Lai. The little girl blinked her big black and bright eyes and glanced at the old Taoist, and after helping the bamboo horse to the ground, her cute little face showed a smile like a flower.
"Young Master, Master Lai, you're back. The ripe and beautiful maid came out of the house not far away, carrying a plate of sliced apples.
A New Year's reunion of the family spread to thousands of households in laughter and laughter.
The year is full of joy and joy, farewell to the old reunion. Other families welcome spring on Chinese New Year's Eve, and our family celebrates the New Year.
