"Open the black cloth and take a closer look." I looked at Yan Na and said.
Yan Na nodded, raised his hand and uncovered the black cloth wrapping the spiritual Buddha.
After staring at the small stone statue for a long time, Yan Na's expression gradually became serious.
Seeing this, the old mayor asked Yan Na nervously: "Master Yan Na, is there really a human soul in this thing?"
Yan Na raised his head, looked at the old mayor and nodded.
"Are they the people who had the accident?" the old mayor asked again.
When he asked this question, his voice was already trembling slightly.
Yan Na looked at the old mayor without saying anything, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
"It's not the people who got into trouble, but the people in our own town, everyone knows them!"
After a while, Yan Na hesitated to speak, but what he said next shocked everyone except me and Dongzi.
"What is trapped here is the soul of Aunt Cuihua." Yan Na said: "And it was trapped using the magic of raising ghosts. At least it will affect the fortunes of the next three generations, and at worst, the soul will be scattered and never reincarnate."
"Ah!" Yan Erzhu, Yan Zigui and Secretary Liu Dong exclaimed at the same time.
The old mayor's face instantly turned pale, his body swayed, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
Upon seeing this, Yan Erzhu quickly stepped forward and helped the old mayor to the edge of the chair.
The old mayor did not sit down, but asked Yan Na very anxiously: "How could this happen? Didn't you personally prepare and bury Cuihua? Why hasn't she gone down yet? Her soul is trapped in this thing."
.”
"There was nothing wrong with the burial. It should have been trapped on the day of the first seven souls." Yan Na said in a deep voice.
"Ah?" the old mayor whispered, swayed again, and sat down on the chair.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you come and take a look on the first seven days. No wonder I didn't feel the old lady coming back at all that day."
As the old mayor spoke, his whole body slumped along with his shoulders. He lowered his head and held his face while letting out a low whimper.
Dongzi and I don’t know why, but it’s hard to ask too many questions.
But it can be seen that the Aunt Cuihua mentioned by Yan Na should be the old mayor's family. Judging from the age difference between the old mayor and Yan Na and Yan Na's title, it can be inferred that she should be the old mayor's wife.
No one in the room spoke.
After Yan Na sighed, he squatted down and took out another small stone statue from the bag on the ground. He opened the black cloth covering it and looked at it carefully.
By the time the old mayor's voice gradually stopped, Yan Na had already finished reading the stone statues one by one.
"Girl, you must be curious about why I am like this, right?" The old mayor raised his head, looked at me and smiled sadly.
That smile was much uglier than crying.
"Cuihua is my wife!" the old mayor said.
The old mayor is seventy-two years old.
His ancestors were wealthy gentry in Yanjiadi Town, and during the Anti-Japanese War, they joined the army with their passion.
Because he went to private school when he was a child, and later went to university, and he was very smart, he gradually rose from an ordinary soldier to a staff officer of a regiment commander.
In the last battle of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the old mayor was twenty years old, and the regiment leader unfortunately died, and the old mayor took over the position of regiment commander.
After the war, the old mayor followed the army to Kyoto and married a wife who was the head nurse of the military hospital.
That's what Yan Na calls Aunt Cuihua.
I originally thought that my happy life had just begun, but who knew that I would encounter another war without gunpowder smoke.
Although the old mayor is in Kyoto and the fire has not burned him yet, he is extremely smart. After seeing the tragedies of some people, he knew that he was not good enough and would not be able to escape sooner or later, so he discussed with Cuihua about returning to Yan.
Jiadi Town.
Cuihua agreed.
Yanjiadi Town is a family market town. Everyone has been very united for thousands of years. Although the war was fierce, it did not burn too much here.
Since the couple are both intellectuals and Cuihua also has some medical skills, everyone respects the couple very much and even elected him as the mayor.
Although the old mayor and Cuihua didn't quite believe in the legend of Liuyun Fairy, they didn't overly object to the villagers' excessive belief.
Because the Lady Liuyun at that time was indeed very efficacious. Even though the old mayor had been out for many years and had not witnessed the magical things in the legend, but with the war so fierce, the Yanjia Town seemed like a paradise.
It has to be said that it is indeed a miracle that it was not affected.
At that time, in order to show respect for Fairy Liuyun, people in Yanjiadi Town would send their daughters to Liuyun Temple to worship their godmother. However, they did not become stupid after worshiping their godmother.
There is no such title as the Fairy Messenger.
The old mayor and Cuihua also gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son was always smart and was the only college student in the town at that time, but the daughter was much more naughty. She didn't pay much attention to her studies and her grades were a mess.
At that time, people had begun to understand the importance of studying. If they wanted to escape from the backward place of Yanjiadi Town, they had to study.
The old mayor was helpless in the face of his naughty daughter, and had almost given up on letting her leave Yan's town. Someone suggested that his daughter go to Liuyun Temple to worship her godmother. Maybe the child would become sensible after worshiping her godmother.
With the mentality of giving it a try, the old mayor actually asked his daughter to become the godmother of Fairy Liuyun.
It's strange to say, I don't know if it was the role of becoming a godmother, or the daughter has passed the rebellious stage. Not long after becoming a godmother, the naughty girl's heart began to slowly return to her studies, and she even treated her parents more harshly than before.
Much more filial piety.
Three years later, the old mayor's daughter went to college like her brother and stayed in the provincial capital to become a doctor after graduation.
From then on, the old mayor and Cuihua also began to believe in Liuyun Fairy's magical powers.
I often go up to Wangquan Mountain to pay homage to Lady Liuyun.
The old town mayor's two sons and daughters both got married and established businesses in the provincial capital, and lived a prosperous and happy life. Although the old couple stayed in Yan's town, they did not feel lost.
The relationship between the couple has been on good terms their entire lives, and they have never had a red face in fifty years.
During the Chinese New Year last year, the old mayor's son and daughter took their families back to Yan's town to celebrate the New Year as usual.
His son also gave birth to a pair of children, the daughter was just eighteen years old.
That night Cuihua had a strange dream. She dreamed that Fairy Liuyun said she was interested in his granddaughter and asked Cuihua to take her granddaughter to Liuyun Temple to recognize her as her godmother.
Cuihua didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking that she was distracted.
I didn’t tell my son or the old mayor the next day.
Who would have thought that the next night, Cuihua had the same dream again, and even saw Fairy Liuyun saying with a sullen face that if she did not send her granddaughter to Liuyun Temple to recognize her godmother, there would be disaster in her family.
