Chapter 5 Lighting the Lamp and Asking the Ghost 2
Since Widow Zhou told my mother to wait, my mother had to wait, after all, there is a request for someone, even if she is anxious, she must show enough patience and sincerity. ()
After Widow Zhou said this, she stopped talking, but closed her eyes, her whole body was shocked again, and then she lay on the table, and it took a long time to recover.
After resting for a few minutes, Widow Zhou walked to the bedside, ignoring my mother's surprised eyes, pulled the quilt and wrapped it around her body, and then sat on the bed, her body still trembling slightly.
"Exiuyun, please make a bowl of ginger soup and send it to me." When Widow Zhou said this, her teeth chattered.
My mom answered, and immediately went out to make ginger soup without asking a word.
This is the unique kindness and simplicity of the mountain people, although they are worried about their children, but they can't stand Widow Zhou freezing like this, and others are not also trying to help themselves?
Pushing the door into the kitchen, my mother found that there was a person sitting in the kitchen, and when she bumped into her like this, she was really startled by the fact that she was already in a state of shock.
As a result, if you look closely, isn't it the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family sitting in front of the big stove in the kitchen?
"Why are you here? Why don't you go to sleep in a hurry when it's cold? After seeing the people clearly, my mother breathed a sigh of relief and also said hello to her daughter-in-law on Tuesday.
"I'm cooking a stove here, I'm going to boil some water and make some ginger soup." On Tuesday, the daughter-in-law said very usually while adding firewood to the stove.
"Making ginger soup? It's a coincidence, I'm also helping your sister-in-law make ginger soup. My mother was very surprised, and while exclaiming, she helped her daughter-in-law add firewood to the stove on Tuesday.
"It's for my sister-in-law, she used to drink a bowl of ginger soup after she finished her work, I guess she wants it this time, don't I rush to make a bowl?"
"Hehe, your concubine is really good." My mother said sincerely, if this is the case, the daughter-in-law really didn't say anything to Widow Zhou on Tuesday.
"My sister-in-law is not easy, I feel that she is bitter." On Tuesday, the daughter-in-law got up and scooped a scoop of water from the large water tank and poured it into the boiling pot with a 'bang'.
My mother didn't know what to say, so she just stood up, picked up a kitchen knife, and helped her chop up the old ginger that was on the board.
The two of them were silently busy in the kitchen, and after a while, a bowl of hot ginger soup was ready.
Then my mother took the ginger soup in a porcelain bowl and cautiously walked out of the kitchen, and on Tuesday my daughter-in-law followed closely behind my mother, and as soon as my mother's front foot stepped out of the kitchen, my daughter-in-law sighed faintly behind my mother on Tuesday.
"Sister Xiuyun, my sister-in-law is bitter."
It's this sentence again, my mother really doesn't know what to say, but the next sentence from my daughter-in-law on Tuesday really scared my mother, and the ginger soup on her hand almost spilled.
"Sometimes I really think that my eldest brother is not leaving, and I don't know if it is good to pester my sister-in-law like this? My sister-in-law's health is getting worse and worse. ”
After saying this, the daughter-in-law turned around and went back to the house on Tuesday, it is estimated that she has seen too many situations, and she feels that it is nothing to say it to relieve her sulk.
But what about my mother? It was easy to stabilize the ginger soup in his hand, and he was stunned to stand for a long time before he came to his senses, thinking of Widow Zhou's performance in the West Wing, and then thinking about the words of his daughter-in-law on Tuesday, he already believed seven or eight points in his heart.
Women are always more emotional, compared to men, such things are terrifying, but they also touched a softer part of their hearts, if it is not for the deep feelings of the two people, how can it be that the yin and yang are separated and stay together?
Thinking of this, my mother also felt a little more sympathy for Widow Zhou, and even her eyes softened, and when she entered the gloomy west wing with ginger soup, she was not so afraid.
Holding the ginger soup, my mother fed Widow Zhou in one bite, Xu is mood changed, my mother's movements were a little softer, after feeding the ginger soup, my mother couldn't help grabbing Widow Zhou's hand, wanting to help her warm up, but when she grabbed it, she found that the cold was infiltrating.
Widow Zhou broke free of my mother's hand and shook her head, her eyes clearly telling me that my mother didn't care, she was willing.
My mother saw something, Widow Zhou knew, this time the matter was urgent, Widow Zhou didn't have any scruples when she did things, you must know that when she was doing 'business' in the past, she always entered the house alone.
If my mother didn't see anything like this, Widow Zhou herself couldn't believe it.
The two women, at this time, had some tacit communication at the same time.
Pointing to the stool, Widow Zhou motioned for my mother to sit down, she twisted her head alone, and muttered on the bed again, probably discussing something important, Widow Zhou's expression was rich, her speed of speech was also urgent, and there were even some body movements.
My mother waited patiently, because of the words of my daughter-in-law on Tuesday just now, this scene seemed to my mother's eyes, it looked like the two of them were discussing something, but the pity was that they were separated by more than 108,000 miles.
Looking at these two people, my mother remembered that she and my father also have a deep relationship, and I don't know if one of them left first, would she also make this choice? Thinking about it, my mother burst into tears.
This is also my mother's only this, and if it is replaced by my father's rough nerves, I am afraid that there is only a weird and terrifying feeling.
Just when my mother was sad, Widow Zhou also stopped her muttering, and her body shook violently, opened her eyes again, shook off her quilt, and sat down across a table with my mother.
This time, Widow Zhou didn't have any nonsense, and opened her mouth to say to my mother: "I am Zhou Da." ”
Although I had already been mentally prepared that Zhou Da was still here, but when I suddenly heard Widow Zhou say that she was Zhou Da, my mother was still so frightened that she stood up at once, and sat down again for a long time.
Could it be that this is the upper body of the ghost? My mother, who has never left the countryside, has no other knowledge, but she has heard a lot about gods and ghosts, and she still has a little knowledge of 'ghosts'.
But the widow Zhou in front of her, no, it should be said that Zhou Da didn't have the slightest intention to talk nonsense with my mother, and said straight to the point: "I don't know anything about your baby, as soon as you brought him in, I saw a group of fierce fellow believers following up, you know what it is, right?" ”
As soon as I heard this, my mother turned pale with fright, this one is terrifying enough, what should I do with this group?
When I thought that I was haunted by a group of ghosts day and night, and that there were a group of ghosts living in my house day and night, my mother felt that she was going crazy, and she ran out of ideas, and immediately began to shout with a trembling voice: "Lao Chen, Lao Chen"
At this time, she needs the man in the family to come up with an idea.
Who thought that as soon as her voice fell, Zhou Da in front of him said loudly: "Don't shout, the man's body is yang, I can't stand this collision." ”
Fortunately, my dad was in the room on Tuesday at this time, and I guess I didn't hear my mom's loud cry because of the trembling.
However, Zhou Da's shout, my mother finally regained a little calm, and she was not so scared in the face of Zhou Da, he couldn't stand the collision of men's yang energy, it seems that ghosts are not omnipotent.
To put it another way, there is hope for the son.
Seeing that my mother was quiet, Zhou Da continued without waiting for my mother to ask: "Don't blame me, I have been in the yang world for so long, and I was already very empty, and as soon as you came in with your son in my arms, I knew that this matter was not good, and I didn't want to cause trouble." But I can't stop my mother-in-law begging me. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Da sighed and muttered: "It's useless to beg me to accumulate virtue, I and Yuehong are like this, no matter how much virtue we have, it's useless." ”
Zhou Da's statement is actually quite miserable, but after my mother heard about a group of ghosts, where can she care about delving into the affairs of Zhou Da and Zhou's widow, she just wants Zhou Da to continue to talk and make it clear.
She believed that if there was really no way, Widow Zhou and her family would not have muttered for so long, and they looked like they had something to say to themselves.
I have to believe that my mother has completely calmed down at this time, so she has such analytical ability. Therefore, at no time should a woman's wisdom and greater adaptability to adversity be underestimated than a man.
Sure enough, Zhou Da was very satisfied with my mother's calmness at this time, and continued to talk to himself: "They threatened me, I originally wanted to help your son look at the Tianling Gai to see if there was any dead air, but when they saw it, they bared their teeth and threatened me." They are lonely ghosts, and they are very resentful, and then they stay in the yang world, and they are different from me, not to mention a group, even if one of them, I want to meet it, I have to go around. So, I can't help it. ”
"What the hell are you going to do?" Hearing this, my mother finally asked, what Zhou Da said about pestering her son is so fierce, where can my mother bear it?
"You'll hear me out." Zhou Da waved his hand, and then continued: "Ghost eyes are different from human eyes, and I don't have much ability, but I can still see a person's luck clearly." For example, if a person wants to do good deeds, there will be red light on his heavenly spirit cover, and I have seen such a person from afar, and I have to hide. If a person does not receive blessings or misfortunes, there is nothing left on the heavenly spirit cover. If a person has a bad thing, it must be gray, if it is black, it is death, and if he doesn't die, he will be seriously ill. I muttered, I just want to do my duty, help your son see if he is dead, and then tell you about the situation that something is pestering him. But I can't look at your son, I feel very hazy, I want you to hug me over and look more carefully, and I was threatened, I looked at that, but I saw a little yellow light on your son's head, I really can't understand this. ”
Zhou Da finished talking about it in one breath, and he explained the situation to my mother clearly, but he had no choice but to listen to his words, he had no solution at all, and my mother's question was asked in vain.
"Is that all my son has to do then?" My mother couldn't help but feel sad, originally she thought that Zhou Da had a solution, but the cruel reality made her dare not have such illusions.
But unwillingly, the strong unwillingness made my mother ask again.
"This" Widow Zhou's face showed hesitation, obviously Zhou Da was hesitating.
As soon as my mother saw the play, she immediately looked at Zhou Da with eyes full of pleading and hope.
