Good Destiny and Evil Deeds
The old lady was so frightened that she kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, there's no way to save it. My son! Why do you have such a miserable life!"
I squatted on the ground and looked at the scorpion larvae, but found that they were all dead. I thought: This man drinks mint water all day long, and his whole body almost seems to be soaked in mint water. He is like a walking
Mint tree, no wonder these larvae are dead.
So I comforted the old lady: "Grandma, don't worry, these larvae are all dead. He must have accidentally swallowed the scorpion eggs."
The old lady spun around in a hurry and said, "How could such a good thing swallow insect eggs?"
"What did he do today?"
"Today is the wedding of Mr. Chen Dashan. We have received many favors from others on weekdays, so I thought about asking my son to help."
"Get married?" My thoughts were confused. If I get married, I won't eat insect eggs in my stomach.
The old lady sighed and said, "This Mr. Chen Dashan has been married and kissed several times, and nothing has happened to him! Who knew that today... Wuwu~"
"Wait a minute! You said he has been married more than once, but do you still know how many times?"
How many times a man has been married must be the fate of a rich man!
The old lady thought about it carefully: "About eight or nine times!"
My eyes widened and I asked in surprise: "Eight or nine times? How old is this Chen Dashan?"
"Alas! Chen Dashan has had a hard life." The old lady sighed and continued: "His real name is Chen Jintu. Because he is short, he is already in his thirties and has never been able to find a wife.
Later, a refugee widow came to us.
The little widow is handsome and hard-working. Many of our young men here would like to ask her to be their wife.
But the little widow didn't choose anyone who was tall and strong, but she liked Chen Jintu, who was less than one meter tall.
Less than half a year after their marriage, the young widow fell ill and died. Seven days after the young widow's death, Chen Jintu spent a lot of money, buying property and marrying a new wife.
It was also at that time that strange things happened constantly, and what was even stranger was that the new wife died inexplicably less than a month after marrying.
Chen Jintu was not sad when his wife died. A few days later, he married another one, only to die again. Just like that, after marrying to death, there were nine married women including the little widow.
People in the village say that the little widow can't let go of Chen Jintu, and whoever marries him will die."
After hearing this, I laughed and said, "Then anyone dares to marry him?"
The old lady shook her head: "Chen Jintu is rich! Nowadays, you can't even have enough to eat, and there are many people selling their children and daughters. You can't do anything for money!"
The man woke up and weakly shouted: "Mom!"
"Son, wake up. Mom will bring you some food."
I quickly stopped him and said, "Grandma, don't let your son eat yet. Give him a bowl of hot water first! This can just remove the eggs inside."
The old lady nodded and went to prepare hot water.
I looked at the man in front of me and asked, "What did you eat today?"
The man was confused by the question and asked, "Who are you? You look like a Taoist priest in your dress, right?"
"Bah! You are a Taoist priest!" I rolled my eyes at the man and continued: "Taoist priests are all men, how can I, a woman, be called a Taoist priest!"
"Taoist nun?" the man said cautiously.
"puff!"
I almost didn't hit him. "It's called Taoist. He's Master's teacher."
"Taoist? Why do you ask this?"
I pointed to the ground and said calmly: "Nuh! You vomited."
The man's face changed drastically when he saw it, and he said hesitantly: "What? I...I...vomited?"
At this time, the old lady had already come in with hot water, and then said: "Yes, it was indeed you who vomited. If the girl hadn't been here, I would have strangled you to death!"
The old lady started crying as she spoke, and the man looked at me in horror.
I nodded and said, "Tell me, what did you do today?"
I learned from the old lady that the man's name was Yuanzi. After drinking half a bowl of hot water, Yuanzi said: "After finishing my work today, Chen Jintu gave me half a bag of rice as usual, and then gave me some meat rolls."
I was asked to eat on the road, and I wanted to leave some for my mother, but the more I ate, the more I wanted to eat, and in the end I ran out of food."
"Meatloaf?"
Motoko has not forgotten the taste of the meat rolls, and she has endless aftertaste when talking about it. "Yes, it is wrapped in bean skin. When you take a bite, there are tiny pieces of meat inside. It is very delicious."
"Do you know what you are eating are insect eggs?" When the old lady saw her son drooling, she went up and slapped Motoko on the head, and said angrily: "I told you that the world is not peaceful now, don't do anything wrong.
Take, remember that greed never ends well."
Yuanzi became anxious and retorted: "Mom, Chen Jintu has helped us many times. It was not us who came to help us when we were in trouble."
The old lady was so anxious that she couldn't say a word.
