Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 97 The Third Bowl of Red Bean Soup

Gu Changsheng's guess made Liu's mother startled: "Well, why is this other people's ghost coming to my house?"

In an instant, countless incidents of evil spirits killing people appeared in her mind.Although I have done nothing wrong and am not afraid of a ghost knocking on the door, what if the ghost knocks on the wrong door?

Mother Liu grabbed Gu Changsheng's sleeve and said, "Master Gu, please save us!"

"My folks in the village, it's not an exaggeration to say that I watched you grow up, you can't leave us alone." Mother Liu's face was full of pleading, and Gu Changsheng was a little dumbfounded.No, is the generation gap between him and the old man already that big?

Mother Liu's brain circuit, why is he a little out of touch.Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?

"You can't just sit and watch him kill us all." Hearing this, Gu Changsheng finally understood.Dare to be afraid that the ghost is coming to claim his life.Gu Changsheng quickly helped the frightened Mama Liu to sit on a chair, and explained: "No, you misunderstood. I don't think there is any hostility in that ghost, and it probably didn't come to harm anyone."

"I didn't come here to harm anyone. Could it be possible that I passed by my house and came in to beg for a drink of water when I was thirsty?" It's not a living person, so the possibility of coming in to drink water is too small.After Liu Jinshui said this, he didn't believe it.

Mother Liu and Sister Liu also looked at Gu Changsheng with doubts on their faces.Gu Changsheng had no choice but to ask, "How about I call that ghost over and ask him carefully?"

Hearing that ghosts were being brought in, the Liu family was a little scared.But it's useless to be afraid, Mother Liu was the first to slow down.Instead of worrying about it all the time, it's better to take advantage of Gu Changsheng's presence here and call the other party over to ask for clarification.If there is any misunderstanding, solve it as soon as possible, so as not to wait for Gu Changsheng to leave, and the other party will come to the door at that time.

Without Gu Changsheng's protection, how could the few of them survive in the hands of that ghost?

"Take it." Mother Liu said firmly.Liu Jinshui and his brother were a little surprised, but they didn't object to their mother's choice.After thinking about it carefully, this is also the best choice, so they all nodded.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng lit a yin incense stick and chanted a mantra to call back the soul.

Yinxiang is as attractive to ghosts as delicious food is to starving ghosts.When Yinxiang was sensed, the male ghost who had already hid far away did not want to come back.But this time the summoning was mandatory, even if he could choose not to come, the male ghost knew very well that he couldn't resist Yinxiang's attraction at all.

If he is a ghost who enjoys the sacrifice of descendants every year, maybe he will have this willpower to refuse.But he is not.

As a lonely wild ghost, the life of the male ghost is not easy.When he saw Gu Changsheng pointing yin incense to other ghosts before, he was already envious and jealous until his eyes turned red. If Gu Changsheng hadn't seen it, he wouldn't be easy to mess with, and the yin incense could not be snatched by the owner. At that time, he couldn't control his eager claws.

It's different now, it's clear that Yin Xiang this time is for him by name, the male ghost's hesitation didn't last for two seconds at all, before Gu Changsheng put pressure on him, he came back voluntarily.

Maybe luck is not so bad?

After all, the sorcerer invited by the Liu family didn't seem particularly vicious.Maybe I just want to ask him to go back and ask about the situation, and I won't do anything to him.Anyway, whether it's a blessing or a curse, he can't avoid it. It's better to take the initiative and behave better. If he can eat incense before he dies, it's not like being a ghost in vain.

That's what he said, but the male ghost felt a little regretful that he didn't turn around and run away when he heard the Liu family said that he wanted to invite the master.He thought that the person who came was just a charlatan at most, but he didn't expect to be a real warlock, who seemed quite capable.

After floating back, the male ghost rushed to Gu Changsheng with lightning speed, and quickly inhaled the green smoke from Yin Xiang.After so many years, I finally had enough to eat.

The male ghost sighed contentedly, seeing that Gu Changsheng didn't seem to be doing justice for the sky, and meant to beat him out of his wits.Given the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the male ghost was not prepared to struggle to the death. Not only did he not run away, but he stayed where he was and did not say anything. He also took the initiative to say hello, "What is the master calling me for?"

Gu Changsheng didn't say anything, and after letting the male ghost reveal his shadow, he then signaled the male ghost to look at Mother Liu.A figure suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air. Even though the Liu family members present were already mentally prepared, it would also be a little frightening.

They tried their best to control their expressions, and after seeing the figure of the figure wearing it, Mama Liu said with certainty: "It's the clothes, he is the one who gave me the dream."

The male ghost turned his back to Liu's mother, but he was facing Liu Jinshui. Hearing what his mother said, Liu Jinshui couldn't help but say: "But, Mom, he doesn't look like my father at all, you How could you be wrong?"

Sister Liu also nodded, not only unlike her father, but also unlike her grandfather.In their family, the genetic characteristics are still obvious.From her grandfather to her father to her and her younger brother, the facial features are similar.At first glance, it looks like a family. It stands to reason that her great-grandfather should not break away from this rule.But the ghost in front of her did not resemble her family at all.

To put it bluntly, the only thing that is the same as my great-grandfather is probably gender.

"Don't interrupt." Liu's mother gave them a glare, but she still explained: "When I was in a dream, didn't I not see my face clearly?" It's normal to admit a mistake.

Liu's mother walked up to the male ghost: "But this face looks familiar." Liu's mother thought for a long time, and finally found a person from the corner of her memory: "You are the old man Dou who used to live halfway up the mountain? "

Their village does not have a single surname, but is composed of several common surnames and a few sporadic households with scattered surnames.The surname Yang is one of the main surnames in the village. The Gu family and the old man Dou's family belong to those few retail households.

The only difference is that the old man Dou came earlier, and the Gu family came later.When the Gu family moved in, old man Dou had already passed away.

Because of their own ability and strength, the Gu family easily gained a firm foothold in the village, and everyone respected them.And the old man Dou who moved in earlier than them did not know how many years, he has been inconspicuous in the village.Old man Dou came here from famine in his early years. He heard that he had a wife and children, but the other party disliked old man Dou for his incompetence and made her suffer, so he ran away with the children.

In those days, it was not easy to eat enough.It is not uncommon for old man Dou to be like this. Later, when life got a little better, no one persuaded old man Dou to marry another, but he declined all of them. He remained celibate until he grew old, and finally died alone.The people in the village used the little savings he had left to help him raise some more, and held a decent funeral for him.

At that time, Ms. Liu was still young, and Old Man Dou and her great-grandfather were of the same generation. She didn't know much about Old Man Dou, but she heard people mention it a few times later, so she barely had a little impression of him.

"My family shouldn't have any grudges with you, right?" Mother Liu asked cautiously.I'm afraid that my family has offended the other party somewhere before, so now they come to the door to take revenge.After all, even the juniors don't know about the affairs of the older generation, and they might not know if there is anything.

"What grievances can there be?" Old man Dou said angrily when he saw Mother Liu's lifeless appearance, as if he could eat people.

It's fine if there is no grudge.Mother Liu relaxed a little, and didn't care about Old Man Dou's attitude. Instead, she observed the other party carefully twice, and after confirming that it was the same as in her impression, she asked again: "Is it you who gave me the dream?"

Old Man Dou nodded reluctantly.

When I am willing to give you a dream, if he doesn't want to owe favors, he wouldn't bother to bother.

No wonder then.Seeing this, Liu's mother, who didn't know what old man Dou was thinking, finally understood why she misunderstood.Because this blue Chinese tunic suit was very popular at that time.Many uncles have a set, after the old man Dou left, he is probably the person who will deal with funeral affairs, and hope that he will go well, so he specially bought it as a shroud.

With the same clothes, he and her father-in-law are about the same size, and it's normal to be mistaken when you can't see the face.

Knowing that the two families have no grievances, and that the other party is the ghost of her own village, Mother Liu let go of her guard and asked directly: "Is it true what you told me in the dream that my child would have an accident?"

"If it's true, which child had the accident? How did it happen? Can it be avoided?" Before old man Dou could answer, Mother Liu asked eagerly.

"Let me tell you the truth," old man Dou was helpless when he was asked, and seeing the genuine worry on Liu's mother's face, he had no choice but to say frankly: "I am a lonely ghost with limited strength, and I have nothing to do with your family." The blood relationship, to be able to see so much, is already extraordinary." So the last time Tuomeng ran away without explaining clearly, it was not trying to be mysterious, but he only knew so much.

"Which child is it? Isn't there a real master here? You can just ask him." Seeing that nothing happened, Old Man Dou muttered: "If you didn't burn paper money to worship ancestors yesterday, you would give it to the lonely soul who passed by." The ghost is also on fire," he is the lonely ghost who just passed by, and the old man Dou continued: "Let me get involved with your family, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to see this." He really weak.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng finally figured out what was going on.When locals burn paper money for their ancestors, they often set up another fire in a corner and put the paper money into it to burn.This has the meaning of helping lonely souls and wild ghosts, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and it is also a bribe.After letting the lonely ghosts take the money, don't snatch the sacrifices of their ancestors.

When the Liu family gave cold clothes to their ancestors yesterday, they probably did the same.What a coincidence, the lucky old man Dou just happened to pass by and received the sacrifice.Although old man Dou has a bad temper, he is a good ghost.After he took the money, he didn't choose to leave, but repaid the Liu family as much as possible.

Falling asleep is not easy.The sacrifice that old man Dou received was probably taken in for the sake of dreaming, and at most he only got a meager amount of hard work.

No wonder he still looked malnourished even though he had received the offering, and even his clothes were decades ago.Gu Changsheng suddenly felt awe, couldn't hold back for a while, and lit another yin incense for the other party.

This yin incense made up for old man Dou's shortfalls over the years.The old man Dou's face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his sunken cheeks gradually plumped up.Although it was still the same suit, the spirit of the ghost was instantly different.

A good ghost should always be rewarded.After all, there are so many lonely and wild ghosts who enjoy the sacrifice of strangers every year, but how many of them really get rewarded?Ghosts like Old Man Dou are rare and deserve to be protected.His behavior must also be encouraged!Gu Changsheng was not stingy, and Yin Xiang lit another one as if he didn't want money.The old man Dou's face was flushed with redness, he became much younger all of a sudden, his back was straight, and he was back to his best condition.Gu Changsheng didn't stop until old man Dou looked a little overnourished.

Looking at this posture, the Liu family still doesn't understand.Mother Liu couldn't help but stretched out her hand and slapped Liu Jinshui: "Yesterday when I burned paper for others, you said it was troublesome, so there is no need to do so. Let's see now, why don't you say that good people are rewarded with good rewards?" point.

Liu Jinshui was not annoyed when he was beaten, he actually regretted it in his heart.

After making up for old man Dou, without waiting for mother Liu to ask again, Gu Changsheng said: "Mother, I just showed your family's faces. You have a son and a daughter, and Uncle Jin Shui and Aunt Liu parted ways again. Both have two children."

"Yes, there is a pair of twins in Jinshui, both married, and they have children under them. His sister is not twins, but two. The older one is a boy and has been working for several years. The younger one is a girl. I came out for an internship, and I’m not married.” It’s because she even has grandchildren, so when it comes to the child’s accident, Mother Liu is afraid and anxious to know which child it is.The goal is too big to be ruled out by elimination.

"I think Uncle Jinshui looks pretty good, but Aunt Liu's children's palace is a bit unstable. It should be that Aunt Liu's children will have accidents."

Hearing Gu Changsheng's words, Sister Liu was anxious: "I just told them to come back. City A is so good. It's close to home and has many job opportunities. It's safe and convenient. But the two children are stubborn, and they don't care about anything. If you don’t come back, isn’t that worrying you to death?”

"If you didn't urge the marriage, the child would always avoid you?" Mother Liu used to help Sister Liu urge the marriage, but now when she heard that the child would be in danger outside, her position changed. It doesn't matter if she gets married or not. It's that important.Anyway, no matter how important it is, it is not as important as the safety of the children: "During the Chinese New Year this year, the two children are not allowed to bring up this topic again when they come back."

No one is forcing marriages anymore, and the employment environment in City A is so good, when they beat the side drums again, the two children will come back.Staying locally, the possibility of danger is greatly reduced.As soon as there is any trouble, they will know immediately.You don't have to worry about it all day long, you are afraid that something will happen to the child outside, and you will suffer hardships, and report the good news but not the bad news.

Sister Liu was a little unconvinced by mother Liu's words, but after thinking about it, it was indeed because of this child that she didn't come back, and she couldn't say what she retorted in her heart.Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu Jinshui quickly changed the subject and asked Gu Changsheng: "My sister has two children, which one will cause the accident?" Can't be so unlucky that they both happen?

This is what the Liu family is most concerned about at present.Hearing this, Mother Liu and Sister Liu's attention all came back, and both pairs of eyes looked at Gu Changsheng in unison.

"It should be Aunt Liu's youngest daughter."

"Damn girl." Sister Liu scolded, then looked for her mobile phone everywhere, planning to call her daughter: "No matter what I say this time, I have to call her back."

"Wait, it's not safe on the road, let her brother pick her up." Mother Liu added.It is a high risk for a young girl to go alone.Liu Jinshui also felt that it was dangerous, and said, "I happen to be free recently. I remember she was doing an internship in City D? Why don't I pick her up? It's too much trouble to ask my nephew to come and ask for leave. And to be honest "Sister, it's not that I belittle that child. In case of trouble, he really may not be as useful as me."

Liu Jinshui is a typical rural man who has been tending crops for many years and has all the strength in his body.Sister Liu looked at her for a while, and then recalled her son's white and tender appearance, and she had to admit it: "Okay, you can go as you want, but you have to bring the child back to me intact."

Seeing that the Liu family was in a hurry, Gu Changsheng said quickly: "The disaster should be dealt with at the end of the year." So there is no need to be so hasty.

That's what I said, but it's only a few months before the New Year's Eve. Sister Liu was still worried. After searching for a while, she finally found the phone from behind the sofa pillow.

Before she called, the old man Dou who had been watching the whole process was a little puzzled: "It's useless to call the child back. What should come will always come. Why don't you think about how to resolve it."

This is really the reason.The Liu family, who had already lost their heads, immediately felt like a blow to the head, enlightened: "That's right, Master Gu, is there any good way to resolve this matter?"

In fact, Gu Changsheng has been calculating this all the time, and this meeting is almost done. Hearing this, he said: "It should be related to feelings and money." The conversation with the Liu family just now inspired him. There are many incidents of renting boyfriends to go home for the New Year. If you calculate this aspect, you will get something.

These days, there is also a difference between rural and rural areas.Although they are in rural areas, their living conditions are better than those in many cities.In addition, the village vigorously develops tourism, so there are many rich people.The Yang family is one of them, and his family was one of the first group of people who created a realistic version of Happy Farm.

If the little girl is frightened by the marriage urge, and is impatient, she may rent a boyfriend directly online.Money touches people's hearts. After seeing the wealth of the Liu family, if the rented boyfriend is not of good character, would he be willing to take just a few days' salary?On the return journey, the chances of attacking the little girl on the way are infinitely high.

After all, people randomly found on the Internet are mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee their character.

As the saying goes, if you don't do one thing, you don't stop doing it. After the attack, the money is taken, and you don't care about committing more crimes.Gu Changsheng had seen that little girl once or twice before. The little girl was not particularly beautiful, but she had a good temperament. She could be called a little beauty, and she was quite eye-catching in the crowd.When you rob money, you rob sex by the way. It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before.

When Gu Changsheng talked about this possibility, although Master Gu said it was possible, the Liu family knew that it was just the master's modesty.They are all from the same village, and they are not like old man Dou, who are out of touch with the village and don't know the situation.Knowing the Gu family's abilities well, the Liu family knew that Gu Changsheng would say this, but they had already figured it out, and they were fully sure, so they felt angry and anxious.

Isn't this a waste of money and being killed?I was completely idle looking for something to do, and finally found something.

Sister Liu called her daughter directly: "Girl, Mom heard that you found a boyfriend, and you want to bring it back for us to see this year?"

On the other end of the phone, there was this idea. The young girl who hadn't placed an order at a certain treasure was shocked when she heard the words, and blurted out: "Mom, how did you know?" She completely forgot to refute.

"How did I know? How else would I know!" Sister Liu said the matter directly without getting angry.After hearing this, the young girl was terrified, she broke out in cold sweat, and in the end she couldn't even hold her cell phone steadily.

People in other places will suspect that they have encountered a liar when they hear this kind of ghost dreaming and fortune-telling by masters.But the young girl is different. She grew up listening to Master Gu's stories about telling fortunes and catching ghosts. Many things happened around her, and even she experienced it herself. She couldn't help but believe it.When she was a child, she was fond of playfulness and was possessed by evil spirits. Uncle Gu's family helped her drive them away.

Anyone could be a charlatan, but the Gu family would not be.After being scolded bloody by her mother, the young girl was also terrified.If it wasn't for the weekend, she was resting in the rented house and sat on the bed in time, otherwise she would have collapsed on the ground.

"Mom, I'm going to handle the handover work right now, resign and go home. I definitely won't rent a boyfriend, even if I'm killed, I won't do that." The young girl promised again and again.She would be overly frightened, a little paranoid about being persecuted.

The young girl is very favored at home. When her peers want to share the bed with her friends, she has already pestered her parents and got her own space.Because she had her own room since she was a child, she was not used to living with others. When she was in college, she always rented a house outside.

After going to work, she was not used to living in the company dormitory, so she rented a house near the company.I used to think that it is so clean and free, that my work and rest will not be affected by other people, and I don’t need to accommodate others, as much as I want.But now, the danger of living alone suddenly appeared, and the young girl recalled the news of the murder of a single woman she had seen in the past, and immediately determined to go home.

Anyway, there are many job opportunities in my hometown, so I can exercise even if I want to exercise.At that time, you can still live at home, which is convenient and safe.As for urging the marriage, her mother would probably stop for a few years after this happened.Besides, a real warrior must dare to face the bleak life, isn't it just to get married, the big deal is to push the big brother out in front of him.

Dead friends don't die poor people, anyway, life is the most important thing!

Hearing that her daughter offered to come back, Sister Liu was finally satisfied: "You tell the company first to hand over the work, and I will ask your uncle to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, with Gu Changsheng's ability, he could clearly see the change in Sister Liu's face, and the calamity in the children's palace had faded to the point where it was almost invisible.Presumably, when her daughter comes back, she will disappear completely.
