Chapter Twenty-Three

A meal that should have been a joyful and festive reunion made the two old guys Niu Crazy and Cheng Xiazi become a sad and tragic meal.

After drinking a glass of wine, Niu Crazy and Cheng Xiaozi got along with each other and studied whether this wine should be drunk in Wen or Wu.

After two glasses of wine, the cow's face turned into a monkey's butt, and he started discussing with Cheng Xiaozi with his neck. Who said hello to each other first when they first met.

After three glasses of wine, the crazy man hugged Cheng Xiaozi and cried loudly, forcing the other party to promise to take me in after he died.

This is the crazy man who usually claims to be unfathomable in alcohol? It’s so fucking embarrassing!

I was so angry that my head was so painful when I was quarreled by these two old kids who were almost 140 years old. I got into the quilt with anger and covered my head in.

His grandma is a band-legged person, which is simply a noise disturbing the public!

I finally got quiet and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already noon.

The Cow Madman didn't know where he went. Cheng Xiaozi was sitting under the locust tree in the yard and motionless. When he heard me get up, he turned around and shouted to the room: "There is food on the table, you will just eat something."

Hehe! Millet porridge, boiled eggs, pickles...

It's really good. I've never enjoyed this treatment for more than two years.

The wind blew the clouds and I did it clean after a few strokes, and I remembered that I had not washed my face yet.

When he arrived in the yard, he had just pressed a basin of water. Cheng Weizi spoke: "Changsheng, Niu Sihai has something to do and left last night. I asked me to be your companion for a few days. Do you have any furniture sellers? I want to buy a bed, but I can't sleep on the floor."

"Do you always plan to live?" I gently raised one hand and slowly shook it in front of him, to see if he was really blind or pretending to be blind, "What should I call you?"

"I don't know how to call me, just don't scold me."

This old man is nice and easy-going, much better than a madman, and it is worth asking me to call him grandpa.

Then he said, "You don't have to test me, I really can't see it."

You really can't see it? You really can't see it, how can you know I'm testing you? Also, why don't you just use a stick if you really can't see it?

Have you ever seen such a blind man?

"My ears are very good, and my brain is not stupid. Are you unconvinced?"

"How dare you, Grandpa Cheng."

I heard that blind people are the masters of all directions. To put it more literary, God closes a door for you, and he will definitely open a window for you. I don’t believe in God, but I believe this sentence.

"Oh, those two children have not been found yet." Cheng Bugui sighed, shook his head, slowly stood up, and walked outside.

"What are you doing? Grandpa Cheng." I asked hurriedly.

"You can't hear the crying outside? I'll go and see this family that has lost their fetus and borrowed life."

How could there be crying? I really didn't hear it.

"Break the fetus? Borrowing life? What is this? It doesn't sound like an open and honest thing." I jumped and followed behind.

Wei Zi Cheng turned his head and quickly turned back.

He really can't see it? His actions really made me very suspicious.

"Would you like to listen?" Cheng Xiazi kept walking straight towards the small square in the village.

"I'm willing."

"Breaking a fetus and borrowing life is a very vicious and despicable method. In some places, a child is plagued by illnesses and cannot be cured for a long time. The family thinks that the child's soul runs away and is reincarnated into the belly of other pregnant women. In this way, the pregnant woman's fetus is to use evil magic to transfer the child's soul in the belly of the pregnant woman to the body of his own child. After this ritual, the child's illness will generally be cured, but the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly will become stillbirth or lose her mind."

I was shocked when I heard him say this, because I thought of a family named Ren in the village who gave birth to a pair of twins almost at the same time as Carpenter Fan's family. The girl was born dead and her son was stupid. She was five years old and didn't even shout at her parents. She could pull her to the ground and often pissed her pants.

This is exactly in line with what Cheng Xiazi described.

"Is this how the two children of Carpenter Fan's family come from?"

"It should be like this." Cheng Xiaozi didn't walk slowly at all, and said to me again, "I deduced his numerology yesterday. Before this pair of twins, his wife had already given birth to six girls, and they all faded."

"I have also heard that if the first girl in his family lives, she should be a few years older than me."

Wei Wu Cheng sighed again: "Oh, why bother? It is so important to pass on the family line?"

As soon as I talked, I arrived at the small square, which was the gathering place in the village. The villagers liked to run here if they had anything to do. Usually, any news in the village was spread from here.

As soon as he arrived here, Cheng Bugui whispered to me: "Changsheng, before leaving, Niu Sihai told me to tell you to pay more attention to the affairs of the village. He felt it was a bit abnormal."

Improper? Where is it abnormal?

I agreed casually, and then I heard the woman crying with sadness: "Baosheng, Xiao Cui, where are you two? If you have a few things, I will not live anymore-"

It turns out that Carpenter Fan’s family has not found his children. It’s been a night, so there must be a lot of danger.

Just as he was thinking about this, the old blind man Cheng Bugui got into a conversation with the old lady basking in the sun.

"Several sisters, what are you talking about? It's so lively."

The old ladies saw his face as if they were unrestrained, and they said flauntfully: "The couple of children from Carpenter Fan's family have been lost. It's almost a day and a night. The villagers helped find them, but they didn't find them. I'm so worried."

"It's really pitiful." Cheng Xiaozi responded.

I have to admire this blind man Cheng, who is quite capable of performing.

"You don't know, his family has been working hard to give birth to a son."

These old ladies have nothing to do every day when they are full, so they talk about family matters in this small square. It can be said that they are clear about every household.

Cheng Bugui asked: "What can be done? Isn't it just a baby?"

"His family is no better than other families. I miss my son and I'm so angry. The first child was a girl, who never lived past four years old, and the second child was also a girl, and he never lived past four years old... It just made his wife suffer. He gave birth to six in a row, but none of them survived."

Another old lady said, "Don't be blind. His sixth girl was killed by Carpenter Fan when she was born. How cruel this man is. He says that he doesn't eat any children, and he even kills his own daughter."

"You should take a break, this is not the case at all. I heard that this girl is a debt collector. If she doesn't suppress her, she will give birth to her. This debt collector can't raise her until she gets her debts and leaves." This is another old lady.

"I heard from the midwife. The sixth girl in his family had just landed on the ground and before she could cut the umbilical cord, Carpenter Fan snatched her away. When his wife dragged her weak body to the ravine, Carpenter Fan, who had killed this day, had already shoveled the child to pieces and scolded her, and she was scolding her. What was she scolding..."

"See if you dare to come to my house again..."

"That's how you scold me for dealing with it."

"I heard that it's not enough to chop it into meat sauce, so I burned it to ashes, buried it in a poor mountain valley, and covered it with a basket."

"Did you forget, did his wife go crazy in those years? She has been crazy for several years, and after she gets better, she will never work again. She ate and slept every day, ate and started playing cards later. It's really a sin."

"For the next seven or eight years, his wife has never been pregnant. Carpenter Fan is seeking medical treatment and medicine, praying to gods and Buddhas, and it is not troublesome no matter how far away it is. After struggling for many years, he is over forty, and now he is lost again. It is not easy to raise such a big one."

These old ladies seemed to know more than the other ones, for fear of being at a disadvantage, so they rushed to talk to Cheng Xiazi about Carpenter's family.

Finally, an old lady lowered her voice mysteriously and told Cheng Xiaozi: "I heard that his pair of two borrowed the lives of the Ren Qingfeng family. Hi, don't say that I said it..."
