Old Gong likes to recruit ghosts

There were still three days before the day, and before Xia Jiuyuan woke up early in the morning, Xia Beiyuan brought the villagers over to take Xia Jiuyuan away.

Xu Lanzhi wiped her tears to stop her, but was pulled aside by Xia Heshan.

Xia Jiuyuan looked dazed, put on his clothes, and was carried out by a villager who was caught in a creaking nest by the waist.

"Xiaoyuan! Xiaoyuan!" Xu Lanzhi shouted from behind, watching Xia Jiuyuan being carried out of the yard, his body softened, and he fell into Xia Heshan's arms, crying, "Okay, there are still three days left Ah, why, why now..."

Xia Heshan couldn't bear to say it.

Bai Ye sat on a small bench beside him, his face extremely calm.

Xia Jiuyuan was hugged, and when he heard his mother's crying, he felt uncomfortable, and wanted to get down, Xia Beiyuan slapped him on the buttocks, and Xia Jiuyuan calmed down. In his heart, Xia Beiyuan was not a bad person, and he didn't do anything wrong , should not punish him.Xu Lanzhi's crying went away, Xia Jiuyuan looked at where they went.

Nine Heavens Tower.

When the villagers put Xia Jiuyuan down, there was another person inside, Xia Youzhi.

The door was closed from the outside, and Xia Jiuyuan heard the sound of it being locked.The sunlight from outside swept in through the window, and Xia Jiuyuan saw that beam of light shining on Xia Youzhi's face. She had just cried, and there were still tears.Xia Jiuyuan, who was in a daze, sat beside Xia Youzhi.

"Why are we locked up here?"

Xia Youzhi shook his head.

The two sat quietly. Xia Jiuyuan wanted to go to the bathroom, but he couldn't open the door when he wanted to go to the toilet. He couldn't call for someone.

Xia Youzhi pointed to a corner, and Xia Jiuyuan looked over, and there was a spittoon inside. After finishing it, Xia Jiuyuan was a little hungry, so he knocked on the door vigorously, and the villagers passing by the door passed by without looking sideways.

Xia Jiuyuan, who had no strength to shout, quieted down.

After noon, after night, no one came.

Xia Jiuyuan was so hungry that he didn't even have water.Xia Youzhi was the same as him, neither of them spoke anymore.

It was late at night, and it was not dark in the Nine Heavens Pagoda.

Xia Youzhi trembled in fear, sticking to Xia Jiuyuan, and Xia Jiuyuan also sticking to her, the two of them huddled together in the dark night.

One day passed, two days passed.

Xia Jiuyuan had no strength at all, his mouth was dry.

The sun was hanging high outside again, Xia Youzhi leaned on Xia Jiuyuan's shoulder, and said a rare word, "Brother Xiaoyuan, I feel like I'm dying."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm so uncomfortable. I really want to drink water, I want to eat, and I want a quilt." Xia Youzhi closed his eyes and told his heart's longing. This is what Xia Jiuyuan wanted most. He still couldn't figure out why Shut them both.

There was silence again.

In the early morning three days later, the lock outside was unlocked. Xia Jiuyuan and the others opened their eyes, and Xia Beiyuan and Xia Heshan stood outside, holding flashlights in their hands and shining inside. The two pleasing-looking children changed into extraordinary people within these three days. It's not a ghost, Xia Youzhi's hair is messy, his face is pale, and there is no trace of blood on his mouth.Xia Jiuyuan was not much better either, Xia Heshan was so distressed that he almost cried, and came in to hug Xia Jiuyuan.

"Dad, Dad." Xia Jiuyuan called weakly. Xia Heshan's heart trembled, and he tightened his hand holding Xia Jiuyuan, and walked outside. The sky was full of stars outside, and there was a moon hanging on it, casting moonlight all over the ground.

Xia Heshan choked with sobs, "Xiao Yuan, Dad will take you home."

At home, Xu Lanzhi stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, and Bai Ye stood next to him, all locked on the direction Xia Heshan walked in.Under the moonlight, Xia Heshan didn't use a flashlight, but under the moonlight, he hugged Xia Jiuyuan and walked home steadily step by step.Xia Heshan called Xia Jiuyuan's name over and over again. Xia Jiuyuan agreed at first, but then the frequency became less and less, and his voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, it was almost silent, and his hand was lightly on Xia Heshan's chest, weak and weak.

Seeing the figure, Xu Lanzhi ran up joyfully. He couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, and went to the room to meet the person. The room was brightly lit, and Xu Lanzhi saw Xia Jiuyuan's appearance clearly. Tears fell like rain, and his hands trembled away. Hug Xia Jiuyuan.In just three days, she felt much lighter. Why did her good son suffer this?

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan..." Xu Lanzhi called softly, but Xia Jiuyuan didn't respond, Xu Lanzhi held back his tears and shouted again, but fortunately Xia Jiuyuan responded this time, he moved his fingers and opened his mouth, "Mom. "

"Hey!"

Xu Lanzhi hugged Xia Jiuyuan tightly, and Xia Heshan would not let go no matter how much he pulled.Seeing that the time was approaching, Xia Heshan pulled Xu Lanzhi away cruelly, picked up Xia Jiuyuan and put it in a big wooden barrel in the corner of the room.The wooden barrel was about half the height of a person, and it was covered with wormwood and dried flowers. Xia Heshan untied Xia Jiuyuan's clothes, put the person into the wooden barrel, went to the stove to fetch a large bucket of warm water, and poured it in.

In a daze, Xia Jiuyuan felt a trace of water hitting his face. He lowered his head eagerly and wanted to drink water. Xia Heshan immediately raised Xia Jiuyuan when he saw it, and kept him from touching the water.Xia Heshan went to fetch a few more buckets of water, and put the buckets aside until the water covered Xia Jiuyuan's chest.Xia Heshan called Bai Ye.

"Xiaoye, come here and give Brother Xiaoyuan a bath."

Bai Ye obediently stood by the barrel, looked down at Xia Jiuyuan, whose face was slightly flushed because of the hot air in the water, hidden behind the barrel, where Xia Heshan and the others could not see, Bai Ye held his hand tightly , There are blue veins on the arms.Xu Lanzhi wiped away her tears, walked to the side of Bai Ye choked with sobs, pushed Bai Ye aside, squatted down halfway, and poured water on Xia Jiuyuan's body with her hands.

Xia Jiuyuan groaned and couldn't open his eyes. The warm water wrapped his body and made him feel warm, wanting to indulge in it.Xia Jiuyuan bent his legs and slid his whole body into the barrel. Seeing that his chin was about to sink into the water, Xia Heshan lifted his arm and slid up again, holding Xia Jiuyuan's arm tightly.

Xu Lanzhi held Xia Jiuyuan's other arm, held water in his palm, poured it on it one by one, and murmured, "When mother first gave birth to you, you were like a small dumpling, with wrinkled face and nose tip. It’s red, it’s so ugly. Mom is still thinking, I’m so good-looking, so I gave birth to a clown, but mom still likes you very much.”

"Later, when you grew up, you were very good-looking. You were cheerful all day long, not noisy, and very obedient. Mom often hugged you and sat at the door, teaching you how to speak and how to walk. He heard When you uttered your mother for the first time, your mother really couldn't hold back, crying so ugly. Time flies, and you in my arms have grown so big."

……

Xu Lanzhi said a lot. From Xia Jiuyuan's birth to the present, she recalled all the details of this moment. The past is vivid in her memory, but it will be separated forever.Xu Lanzhi thought a lot about it. When Xia Jiuyuan grew up, got a beautiful daughter-in-law, gave birth to a cute baby, and then their family would be happy together.A warm picture seemed to appear in front of her eyes, but the facts in front of her told her.

Her son is not growing up.

Xia Heshan whispered, "Lanzhi..."

Xu Lanzhi withdrew her thoughts, and saw Xia Heshan's gaze, which contained despair in the face of everything but powerlessness, yes, Xia Heshan was a father, and his sadness was the same as that of his mother.

"sorry."

Xu Lanzhi shook her head, "It's not your fault."

No one is wrong, the fault lies in the people in this village, Fengcun, Fengchun, the joy at home is gone, how come Fengchun?

Seeing that the washing was almost done, Xia Heshan went to the bed to get the red dress, which Xia Beiyuan brought over in the morning.Xia Jiuyuan lost a lot of weight in three days, and the dress was empty on his body. Xu Lanzhi fastened Xia Jiuyuan's belt tightly.After everything was done, Xia Jiuyuan was put on the bed and covered with a quilt. Xu Lanzhi snuggled up to Xia Jiuyuan's side, and on the other side was Bai Ye holding his hand.

Xia Jiuyuan's hand was a little cold, and Bai Ye held it in his hand, and couldn't cover it for a long time, so he simply put his hand inside his clothes and pressed it against his stomach.Xia Jiuyuan's breathing was very light, and he kept his eyes closed.

An hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Xia Heshan opened the door, it was Doctor Zhou.Dr. Zhou carried a square box in his hand. When he entered the house, he put the box on the low cabinet next to the bed and opened it. It was not used for curing diseases and saving lives, but for the girls to make up.

Doctor Zhou looked at the scene on the bed, frowned and said softly, "Lanzhi, it's time, it's time to put on makeup."

Xu Lanzhi didn't move and hugged Xia Jiuyuan tightly.

"Lanzhi." Doctor Zhou yelled again, Xu Lanzhi still didn't move, Bai Ye got up, he managed to warm Xia Jiuyuan's hand, and immediately looked at Doctor Zhou with hatred.When Dr. Zhou met Bai Ye's gaze, he was startled, and shook for no reason. There was a lot of hostility in his eyes.

"Twigs are ready."

Doctor Zhou said again.Xu Lanzhi buried her head in Xia Jiuyuan's neck, feeling Xia Jiuyuan's body temperature.

"why?"

What Xu Lanzhi asked was unclear, but Doctor Zhou had experienced so much, how could he not understand, sighed, and patted Xu Lanzhi on the back, "It's not just your family, please accept it calmly, this is Xiao Yuan's fate."
