Chapter 374 Dead again!
After this delay, when Liang Xiaole returned to Liangjiatun, it was already noon. It was already past meal time in the canteen.
The chef wanted to make separate meals for Liang Xiaole, Liang Longqin and the coachman. Liang Longqin looked at the leftovers in the basin and said, "Don't make it. Let's each order a few of our favorites to keep warm."
The chef only looked at Liang Xiaole.
Liang Xiaole saw this and said, "Just do what grandpa said."
While the three of them were sitting at a table waiting for their hot meal, a woman's cry came from the street - the sound of mourning.
"Who died?" Liang Longqin asked first.
"Liang Longjiu from the east end of the village." said a chef from the village.
"Liang Longjiu?" Liang Longqin said in surprise: "I saw him yesterday afternoon. He's fine. He didn't seem sick at all?"
"What happened this morning," said the cook from the village, "I heard from his family that after breakfast, he said he felt a little bored, so he went to the house to rest. After his wife finished washing, he fed the animals.
, when I went to see him in the house, he was already out of breath."
"So fast?! You didn't even call me doctor?" Liang Longqin asked.
"I heard that they were called. Even Diao Banxian was called, but it didn't work."
"Why do you ask Diao Banxian to do such a thing?"
"I heard that the appearance of death is quite scary. His mouth is open and his eyes are open, as if he is scared. Diao Banxian said that he was scared to death by ghosts, and he also performed rituals to drive away ghosts." The chef said and looked at Liang Xiaole.
"Frightened to death by ghosts? How could it be possible in broad daylight?!" Liang Longqin expressed his opinion.
When adults talk, Liang Xiaole usually doesn't participate in the conversation, listening silently, sometimes looking at the people with his big eyes.
After the food was served, the three of them ate gloomily because of Liang Longjiu's death.
After the meal, Liang Longqin sent Liang Xiaole to Hong Yuan's mother (this was also Liang Longqin's attentiveness: every time he went out with Liang Xiaole, he would personally hand Liang Xiaole to Hong Yuan's mother when he came back), and then went to Liang Longjiu's place. Although he was already seven or eight years old
After being convinced that they were no longer close together, important matters such as red and white could no longer be touched. However, the two of them had a good relationship and spent the last few days with him at home.
Liang Longjiu is sixty-nine years old this year, which was already an old age at that time, and also fell into the range of old age and mourning. But he is usually in good health and has never been sick. And he also has an eight-year-old boy.
The seventeen-year-old mother lives in a nursing home, and he is still an only son. This adds a touch of sadness to the "old man's mourning" - a person with white hair gives birth to a person with black (gray) hair.
"Mom, does Grandma Ying know that Grandpa Jiu has passed away?" Liang Xiaole asked sadly.
No matter how old her son is, he is still her own child. If Grandma Ying knew the news of her son's death, she would feel very sad. Liang Xiaole was thinking in her heart about how to prevent Grandma Ying from getting into trouble.
"Not yet. However, I can't hide it from the first day of the lunar month, but I can't hide it from the fifteenth day. Since we are so close, we will know sooner or later." Hong Yuanniang said sadly.
"I heard that Grandpa Jiu's expression is very scary. Have you seen it?"
"No. During the condolence ceremony, there are too many people to come forward."
"Why did Diao Banxian say that he was scared to death by ghosts? Is that true?" Liang Xiaole asked Hong Yuanniang, more like talking to herself.
"Who can tell this clearly? It's probably based on his facial expression, right?!"
"Mom, let me go over and take a look?!"
"It's been a long time, what can you tell if you go there?! Sixty-nine is not a young age. I think you don't care about this." Hongyuan's mother stopped her.
The reason why Hongyuan Niang did this was to calm the relationship with the people in the village. Diao Banxian lived at the east end of the village, very close to Liang Longjiu's family. Now that she had come to the conclusion and implemented the exorcism technique, if Liang Xiaole continued
Intervening in this matter may cause Diao Banxian's dissatisfaction.
"Actually, I came to call you in the first place. You had already left for a while and then I called you Diao Banxian. Since they are in charge of this matter, let's stop asking." Hong Yuanniang further advised.
"Well, mother, I listen to you." Liang Xiaole said helplessly: "It's just that I think it's impossible for ordinary people to see ghosts in broad daylight?! There seems to be something said here."
"Let's wait until they can't handle it anymore and call you." Hongyuan's mother still stopped her.
Liang Xiaole said nothing.
At this time, there were no pilgrims, so Liang Xiaole went to his room, fell on the bed and thought about it.
What she is most worried about is the eighty-seven-year-old British grandmother. How can she withstand the blow of losing her son in old age? If something goes wrong because of this, her plan to ask for the immortality of the nursing home will come to nothing.
Also, how can ordinary people see ghosts in broad daylight?!
Ghosts are phantoms. Except for those who have "eyes in the sky" or can use special powers to open the "eyes in the sky", ordinary supernatural workers can't help but see them. And people with "eyes in the sky" can show Liang Hongyuan's "legs"
pain".
That year, Liang Xiaole was four years old and Liang Hongyuan was seven years old. Liang Hongyuan, she, and Liang Yuyun's sister and brother all suffered from growing pains, and their legs hurt like "ouch, ouch, ouch". Brother Hongyuan was the first to suffer the pain. In the advice of Mr. Li
Next, Father Hongyuan took Brother Hongyuan to see Diao Banxian.
Diao Banxian pretended to be pretentious and said to Hongyuan's father: "Your family has offended a great god, so the disaster should be caused by this child."
When Hongyuan's father asked about the cracking fee, she immediately asked for ten taels of silver (what a lion!). Although Hongyuan's father had money at that time, it was all stuff given by "Grandfather God"
She mistakenly thought that what she had obtained could not be used to treat deficiencies, so she did not let her see it.
Later, she asked Xiaoyu Qilin, who told her that it was not a disease at all, but a growing pain. It was caused by bones growing faster than muscles, and the pain caused by pulling the muscles was a normal growth phenomenon.
After knowing about it, she used her soul to connect again and asked Hongyuan Niang to explain the matter clearly to everyone, thus avoiding the whole family's panic.
From then on, Liang Xiaole had no good impression of this Diao Banxian.
I remember that when she was eight years old, she followed Hong Yuan's mother in a car to attend the temple fair. On the way, she met Diao Banxian who was walking down the road. Since they were from the same village, Hong Yuan's mother invited her to ride with her in the car. Diao Banxian readily agreed.
Because he made a cheap car, Diao Banxian flattered Hongyuan Niang so much that Liang Xiaole had goosebumps all over her body.
The temple fair was very lively that day, and it happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year. To describe it as a huge crowd of people is not an exaggeration.
Because they came together, Diao Banxian was basically not separated from them, and they went to various Buddhist halls to offer incense together.
When they entered the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, they suddenly saw a middle-aged woman in her forties, kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, crying and burning paper, and saying: I beg the Bodhisattva to appear and bless you.
My poor daughter...
Many people noticed her, including Liang Xiaole. But because she was still a child and could not show off in public, she had no words. In her heart, she was hoping that a kind person would come forward to persuade the woman.
If the pain in your heart is financial, you might as well consider helping yourself.
Just as Liang Xiaole was thinking about it, he saw Diao Banxian stepping forward and asking the woman what trouble she was having and why she was crying so sadly.
The woman cried and said that her only daughter had a strange disease. She ate a lot but could not gain weight. She was so thin that she was reduced to a skeleton. Not to mention, the skin suddenly appeared on her daughter's body recently.
, just shake the clothes and you can get rid of dandruff. Asking doctors everywhere to look at her has no effect at all. Girls love beauty, but when my daughter saw her like this, she lost confidence in life. She didn't eat or drink, and she just wanted to die.
If this disease is not treated as soon as possible, my daughter may not have long to live.
After the woman finished speaking, she started crying.
Liang Xiaole was also worried about the woman's daughter, but she didn't know how to see a doctor at that time (in fact, she doesn't know how now), so she couldn't help at all.
When Liang Xiaole was worried about others, he saw Diao Banxian and said, "Don't be sad. Please tell me your daughter's birthday, name, and home address. I will help you go to the Bodhisattva to see if I can help you."
Please give me some medicine?!"
The woman was eager to save her daughter, and quickly reported her daughter’s birthday, name, and family address.
After hearing this, Diao Banxian rolled a piece of thin transparent yellow paper into a pointed barrel shape, and murmured something while turning the yellow paper around the burning incense.
At this time, many pilgrims gathered around to see Diao Banxian and the woman, as well as Liang Xiaole and Hong Yuanniang, three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone wanted to see if the Bodhisattva would really give medicine...
Liang Xiaole's eyes widened even more.
Liang Xiaole had never heard of, let alone seen, Xiang Guan'er who asked for medicine in front of everyone (Liang Xiaole believed that she deserved to be called Xiang Guan'er instead of "half-immortal") in her previous life.
After a while, a miracle happened: in the "little paper bucket" in Diao Banxian's hand, some brown powdery objects slowly piled up, as if they were falling from the sky...
Everyone was stunned, including Liang Xiaole and Hong Yuanniang.
Finally, Diao Banxian stopped talking, took down the "little paper bucket", wrapped it, handed it to the woman, and said: "The Bodhisattva has appeared and the medicine has come down. You take this medicine back and give it to your daughter three times, once a day."
, just finish eating and you’ll be fine.”
The woman quickly took it with both hands, carefully wrapped it in several layers, and put it in her pocket. Then she kowtowed a few times to Bodhisattva and Diao Banxian, and kept saying words of thanks.
Diao Banxian said: "You can thank me after your daughter recovers!" After saying that, he left the temple fair with Hong Yuan's mother and Liang Xiaole.
