"Uncle Wu, but what, please don't beat around the bush!"
After the Sun family left, Lang Hongyi took the initiative to clean up the house at Uncle Wu's house. This has become a task contracted by the two of us!
Uncle Wu was in a good mood today, but he was not prepared to give me a good time at all. He said with a smile, "Look, look at this young man, and then look at your girl, are you shy?"
This is not next to anything, Uncle Wu definitely did it on purpose, but it made me put my heart in my stomach. This also proves that the Sun family's matter is not very fatal, otherwise Uncle Wu would not be as relaxed as he is now.
"Want to know the reason? Go prepare some ribs and make some side dishes. Uncle Wu, I'll tell you when I'm happy!"
Come on, when this uncle is happy and gives an order, I can only do it.
Bian Dian gave Lang Hongyi, the chef who was about to step onto the stove, a gloating attention salute, then turned on his heels and headed towards the canteen.
When it comes to cooking and taking care of myself, as Uncle Wu said, I am no better than a wealthy young man. After all, my skills are limited to folding quilts, washing clothes, sweeping and wiping the floor, etc.
A simple and zero-technical activity.
Get the kitchen knife and put it on the stove... let's forget it!
More than half an hour later, with four dishes and one soup, fragrant rice, and a bottle of good wine that I paid tribute to, Uncle Wu finally solved the mystery in my heart.
He squinted his eyes and took a sip of the wine. He squinted his eyes in enjoyment and savored the lingering fragrance in his mouth, and then said slowly, "I know that the mother didn't see anything but she has a yin energy about her, and Maomao doesn't sleep normally at night.
,If nothing happens, why not?”
Although I had been thinking about it during this period, I had no answer at all. I shook my head honestly and continued to fight with the delicious pork ribs and potatoes stewed.
Uncle Wu tapped me on the head with the chopsticks in his hand before announcing the answer, "Stupid girl, you forgot that Maomao is a boy. Although he is young, he is the owner of Chunyang. You didn't ask Maomao
Well, that kid also has a strong horoscope. He is not as good as you, but he still has a good fortune."
How could I know this? When Maomao was born, I had already left the village and went to school in the provincial capital. I blame myself for being careless and not asking carefully.
"That's not right, Uncle Wu, shouldn't this boy with a good fortune be able to see nothing and avoid dirty things?"
The person who answered me this time was actually Lang Hongyi. He had cooked a meal, his handsome hair was not messed up, and he wore a small apron around his tall body. He could still express his cool and handsome ascetic temperament, and he put down a bone gracefully.
Said, "Because the child is small."
It's that simple?
I looked at Uncle Wu in disbelief. Uncle Wu actually nodded in agreement, which made me wonder if he had drunk too much!
"The fontanel is not closed, and the feet are not firmly planted on the ground. How can the power of the horoscope be unleashed to deter those wandering ghosts!"
Well, after this explanation, I fully understood that I was definitely acting stupid just now. I didn't even think of such an obvious thing. No wonder Uncle Wu wanted to hit me on the head with chopsticks.
After that, at the dinner table, I never spoke again. It was not that I was depressed, but that I was thinking about what situations I might encounter at night and how I should face them then.
The wine glass was replaced with hot tea, and Uncle Wu asked me again, "Have you thought about it?"
"I seem to have some clues. The whole Sun family is at home, but Lin Hui was attacked by Yin Qi alone. The old man and the children are fine. I think it must be the ancestor of the family."
"Well, it's very possible. If you have a general direction tonight, you will know how to start. Go back and prepare. I, the patient, also need to take a rest!"
Uncle Wu rushed to the cook when he was full. Lang Hongyi and I walked to the door and couldn't help but turned around and shouted to the courtyard, "Uncle Wu, if you eat like this to gain weight, you can still walk after your ribs are healed."
No?"
Uncle Wu yelled from inside the house, "You stinky girl, if you dare to make fun of me, I won't take care of you first!"
Unknowingly, Uncle Wu has changed from being a mentor and friend to becoming more like a close family member to me. Sometimes I can even see the shadow of my grandfather in him.
On the way home, Lang Hongyi also talked about something that was very heartwarming to me. Just when I went shopping just now, Uncle Wu asked him a lot about me going to college, and he sounded very concerned about my decision.
"Uncle Wu asked me to advise you that you should put your studies first. Learning some skills as a makeup artist does not conflict with going to school. It is a good thing that the Ye family has a talented woman like you."
I sighed in disinterest and said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, I haven't decided which school to go to yet. After all, I am also a talented girl who is being considered by several universities!"
It sounds easy to say that, but actually I am worried that I will not be able to survive the calamity of life and death in the near future. It is not realistic to think about the future now!
Right now, all I want to do is try my best to accumulate as much blessings as possible, so that when the calamity of life and death comes, it can give me some breathing space.
When I got home, I went into my room and started studying with that ancient book in my arms. This has become my habit. Whenever I feel restless or before I prepare to do anything, I have to read this book again.
I can already memorize ancient books backwards and forwards.
One possibility of what happened at the Sun family is that the deceased ancestors came back to see their children. Of course, I can't be completely sure. There are other possibilities. Everything will have to wait until tonight. We will go to the Sun family to guard it and see what it is.
Only then can you decide.
After the sun began to set, Lang Hongyi and I simply dealt with the stutterer, took Uncle Wu's makeup box and walked out the door, heading towards the Sun family.
The paths in the village are still only illuminated by the light of the stars, the moon, and the flashlights shaking in our hands.
A little light shining through the windows of the house can only illuminate a small area!
To go to Sun's yard, you have to pass by the old locust tree in the village that has been there for who knows how many years.
In the dark night, the branches and leaves of this lush tree rustled in the night wind. The leaves began to become thicker, like big hands stretching out, forming a large black shadow on the ground where demons danced wildly.
Having opened my eyes with water soaked in willow trees, I looked at the big locust tree and felt that there were many invisible shadows hidden among the branches.
The locust tree, also known as the ghost tree, is one of the five ghost trees. The older the locust tree is, the more likely it is for wandering ghosts to gather on it. This place is like their paradise.
Therefore, even in summer, the old people in the village will not ask their children to play under the trees to enjoy the shade.
When I was young, I remember that I once had a very naughty playmate who took a nap when he was tired from playing under the tree. That night he started to have vomiting and diarrhea. He had a high fever and kept talking nonsense. In the end, my grandfather helped me.
Done.
I didn't understand it before, but now I understand that it is the shadow of the locust tree that suppresses the soul due to excess Yin energy.
Now, even though I passed directly through the shadow of the locust tree and was not far from the Sun family's gate, I still dragged Lang Hongyi around the large circle of shadows illuminated by the moonlight, walked far around, and then turned toward the Sun family's gate.
And go.
"Sister-in-law Sun, we are coming!"
The courtyard door has been closed, and I could only raise my hand to knock on the door. A weak voice soon came from inside, asking in a low voice, "Is it Sanman?"
