Are you going to be a mortal couple with Xu Xuan for the rest of your life?
Lin Yutong asked her: "...Isn't Xu Xuan a good person from the ninth generation?" If he was a good person from the ninth generation, how could he be a mortal couple with you in the next life?
Madam Bai suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Yutong, "What do you mean by this, madam?"
What does this mean? It doesn’t actually mean anything. It’s just a question, “Isn’t it?” Or maybe he remembered it wrong? Lin Yutong was really a little confused.
The white lady lowered her head: "... Madam, you really know everything. Yes, the official is a good person in the ninth generation."
"Then if I do good deeds in my last life, I will be able to ascend?" There is really no point in asking. Lin Yutong really doesn't understand these things very well, so she just thinks it's a strange thing and is asking about it here.
White Snake nodded slowly, with a look of pain on her face, and after a long time she said, "Yes! As long as officials continue to do good in this life, they will naturally be promoted."
Lin Yutong looked at White Snake a few more times and asked again, "Can you achieve enlightenment within a hundred years?"
Who can make this guarantee?
The white lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "What is God's will, how can I... possibly know?"
oh!
I do not know!
She frowned, and didn't know much about their kind of cultivation. Therefore, she really couldn't easily draw conclusions about White Snake. She just thought that if Xu Xuan was really a good person for nine generations, then it seemed that there was
So in one sentence, what does that sentence say - One person can attain enlightenment and a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven!
Putting this word in such a world, it means literally. This is also called ascending from the house! Even chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, let alone wives and servants? Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is some malicious speculation. She dare not
If she continued to think like this, she felt that if she continued to think like this, the world would really change beyond recognition. Therefore, she told herself that she should not be anxious about this kind of thing and just take her time to look at it.
Seeing Madam Bai's anxious expression, Lin Yutong knew that she couldn't ask any more questions. She was in a hurry, so she said, "You're busy. Again, as long as you don't hurt innocent people, it's up to you."
Your heavenly law allows you to exist. Then no one can control it, right?
Madam Bai bowed to Lin Yutong again, and then left with Xu Xuan. Xiao Qing said goodbye to Xiao Li in the pond. For a moment, she actually envied Xiao Li. It was like Xiao Li was so worried.
Practicing in this kind of environment without distracting thoughts is extremely beneficial to your own cultivation.
But she was envious, so she walked around in the pond, saluted Lin Yutong, and then left on her own. In fact, the master and his wife were very good people. They allowed themselves to come and go freely and never interfered.
The white lady took Xu Xuan away and kept thinking about her wife's words: Yes! The official is a good person of the ninth generation. As long as he does good deeds and accumulates virtues in this life and dies in good health, he will naturally ascend.
Then looking at the officer's pale complexion, she closed her eyes hard.
Xiao Qing came back and saw her sister facing Xu Xuan on the bed, her face full of pain, "Sister...what's wrong?"
White Snake waved her hand: "It's okay!" She gritted her teeth and said: "Remember, light seven lamps..."
Xiao Qing said hurriedly: "Sister, do you still want to take risks?"
Lady Bai held Xiao Qing's hand: "The official can't die like this. Otherwise, this evil will be a big one. Remember what I said..."
"What if Mr. Gu and the others find out?" Xiao Qing glanced at the next door, "Otherwise, let's find an empty house again..."
The white lady shook her head, showing a somewhat miserable look: "Let's stop it for now. After this incident, I have to give you an explanation." After saying that, she patted Xiaoqing's hand heavily, and as soon as she stepped away, the person disappeared.
.
Xiao Qing was stunned: Explain? Explain what?
She thought about it in her heart, but did not dare to delay, and lit seven life lamps. The life lamps swayed in the cold night, as if they would be extinguished at any time. She did not dare to be careless, and summoned the five ghosts to guard them.
These life lamps.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were not at all curious about how the White Snake did this. It was just a story that 'moved the sky, moved the earth, but couldn't move you at all'.
I've been wandering around a lot recently, and I've been wandering around for quite a while. I've looked at every village and every town. Tomorrow, the fourth master plans to go a little further.
Of course Lin Yutong will accompany you.
Early the next morning, the couple put on the simplest clothes as before, and then got into an ox cart parked at the door, which was their means of transportation.
As for the people following him, Li Gongfu brought two more people with him this time. They sat on the shaft and rear of the bullock cart, protecting Lin Yutong and Fourth Master inside, and then staggered on the road.
Fourth Master’s destination this time is the nearby mountains and forests. There are many hunters in the mountains and forests, and these people call them savages.
These people belong to black households and are not recognized by the court. For various reasons, they are scattered in the mountains and forests and make a living by hunting. Life is much harder than imagined. It is said that most people will not live longer than thirty years old. They do not give
The court pays taxes, so they cannot go down the mountain to trade. If such people come down from the mountain, the court will arrest them.
This is of course inappropriate.
Whether a county belongs to an upper county or a lower county, there is a rigid indicator of population.
In the fourth master's opinion, it is necessary to ask all the hunters scattered in the mountains to come down and find a way to make them live and work in peace and contentment.
After coming out of the city and walking for about an hour, Li Gongfu pointed in the direction: "Master, I have been here before. Look at the mountain on the back. There are many villages scattered at the foot of the mountain. On the mountain
There are many savages, and they often bring their prey to the villagers in exchange for food, cloth, salt and iron. If you want to know something, I think you should go there first and have a look..."
Then let's go.
Riding in a rickety cart is really not a comfortable thing. Looking at the mountain is like a dead horse, let alone riding in an ox cart. You can still see the smoke at the foot of the mountain, but it took a full hour to walk.
, there is no place yet.
"Is it so far?" Lin Yutong wondered, why can't he seem to reach the end?
Fourth Master frowned and said nothing for a while, "We'll see later."
But this wait is just another hour.
The direction of the cooking smoke is still the direction of the cooking smoke. The size of the house, it looked how big it was just now, and it still looks big now.
The two of them felt a little bit in their hearts. This situation seemed to be wrong again.
There are some things that can't hurt them, even up close. However, these magic spells are cast in front of them. As long as they don't hurt them, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master can only stare.
After walking for two hours, it seemed like he was standing still. Obviously, something was preventing him and Fourth Master from getting closer.
The expressions of the two of them changed, and Li Gongfu also noticed something was wrong, and the sweat immediately started to fall on his back: "...What's going on...I've been here before, and logically speaking, I should have arrived long ago."
We can't go any further now, so we have to stop for now.
The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong out of the car first and told Li Gongfu: "Set up the cart and let's go on foot."
ah?
Walk?
Okay! You’ve said so, then let’s go.
But as soon as they left, they immediately realized that something was wrong. After a cup of tea, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master actually left the others behind. Lin Yutong looked back and saw Li Gongfu and others, almost running to chase after him and Fourth Master.
Damn, my hair is wet with sweat. It can be seen that they are trying their best. But the distance between them and Lin Yutong seems to be getting farther and farther.
Moreover, their voices calling for adults gradually became quieter.
This means that they can't break this spell, and this spell can't stop Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. This is to let themselves and Fourth Master retreat before the difficulties.
Is Fourth Master that kind of person?
What's the big deal if you use your feet to walk through the ditches and ridges?
Therefore, the fourth master shouted to Li Gongfu and others: "Just go back to the government office and wait."
I can’t even catch up!
One of the guards said: "It looks like there is a monster!"
No! How else could we explain this?
I definitely wouldn’t dare to reply. What if something happens to the master?
So, a few people sat around the bullock cart and could only wait.
As for Lin Yutong, following Fourth Master, he could only walk forward. The road was full of potholes and there were fields on both sides.
Lin Yutong said: "Do you need that talisman?"
There's that kind of speed-walking talisman.
Fourth Master shook his head: "It's useless!" If you really want to see your sincerity, then let him see it.
If you don't need it, don't use it. It doesn't matter if you walk. I walked along the country road for more than an hour, and the village was right in front of me.
The village is a natural village, with some farmhouses scattered in twos and threes. They are all mud houses with thatched roofs. Some urchins are playing in the village. Yellow dogs, reeds and chickens are very popular.
Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, old men in twos and threes were sitting on the rocks under the tree. When they saw two strangers, they couldn't help but look at them more: "Whose house is this husband going to?"
Fourth Master simply sat over and talked to these old men.
Lin Yutong, on the other hand, looked at this large locust tree that four or five people could surround. She saw that there were many red cloth strips and tassels hanging on the locust tree. This custom is found in many places.
This is called a wishing tree. Judging from the dense hangings on this tree, I don’t know how many years this thing has been there.
Lin Yutong is now a little wary of this kind of things that are old. Maybe he is a spirit.
She was looking around the tree when the Fourth Master called out: "Madam——"
lady?
Okay! This is the correct name outside.
Lin Yutong hesitated for a moment and hurried over. The fourth master said: "Let's go to my father-in-law's house first."
This is the most decent-looking old man wearing it. I'm afraid he is either an upright person or a village elder.
The old man pointed to the house facing the big locust tree: "My little man's family lives there, it's convenient."
Lin Yutong agreed and followed. This was a house with blue bricks, big tiles and a black door. She had never seen this house before. She looked back and saw that the door of this house was facing the big locust tree. In her sight,
It should have just blocked this place.
But in most houses, trees are not allowed to be planted directly opposite the door. Especially this kind of large locust tree.
But this house happened to be facing a big locust tree, but it lived the best life. You can tell just by looking at the house.
After thinking about it this way, Lin Yutong found it a bit interesting.
Went in and sat down on the stone bench in the small courtyard. A woman who looked like the daughter-in-law of the family came to serve tea. The little old man waved his hand and asked people to go down.
Lin Yutong said: "When we entered the village, we saw the big locust tree..."
"That is our sacred tree." The old man smiled and said, "Bless our village to have good weather..."
oh!
After asking about this topic, Lin Yutong stopped talking. The fourth master followed the old man and asked about the village's population income, etc., but never mentioned the savages in the mountains again.
When eating, Lin Yutong discovered that the family would divide the food into portions, take it out individually and put it at the door, then kneel down and kowtow. Without asking, he knew that this was an offering to the big locust tree. The dishes in the bowl were on the plate.
The dishes are more sumptuous than those for two guests.
After dinner, Fourth Master said goodbye and did not go to the mountain. He took Lin Yutong and left the village.
As a result, we had been gone for more than an hour when we arrived. When we returned, we didn't even use half an hour before we met up with Li Gongfu and others.
It can be seen that the big locust tree does not welcome Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.
When I went back that day, it was already dark. The fourth master who originally planned to take the people-friendly route knew that this route would not work at all. Many of these mountain spirits may be like this big locust tree and rely on the offerings of the nearby people.
Get benefits. This is true for villages close to mountains, and even more so if you want to come to the mountains.
Speaking of which, isn’t this a temple of obscenity?
But what should we do with such a thing? Lin Yutong and Fourth Master really don’t know.
The Fourth Master discovered that he really lacked a consultant in this field.
Before finding this consultant, Fourth Master wanted to try other methods. For example, posting notices.
Spread the word that all wild people can come down the mountain. As long as they come to the county government to register, they will be properly accommodated.
But these people are in the mountains, how can such news reach their ears? They can only rely on these guards, working in pairs, in every alley, in every village, beating gongs and drums,
be conveyed.
For this reason, Fourth Master gave these agents an extra two months' salary.
It's easy to talk about money no matter what. There are only two people in the yamen who support it, and the rest are spread out.
Li Gongfu didn't go this time. He was the leader and had to take charge of the county government.
Mrs. Xu should have been happy to have received two months more salary, but there was no news after her brother left. The men in the family refused to go out to look for him, so what can be done?
The only way is to pray to God and worship Buddha, and use the extra two months of salary to donate incense.
When I came back, I stopped by the security hall to have a look. When I saw that everything was fine, I felt a little relieved and asked, "Where is your wife?"
"The lady went to see Mr. Xu?" This is what the boy said: "But it seems that the lights in the house were on last night. Miss Xiao Qing is probably here."
"Is Xiaoqing here?" Mrs. Xu walked towards the back with her belly full. If Xiaoqing was here, could it be that her siblings had gone to find Hanwen alone. She was a woman with a big belly, but the other one hadn't been found yet.
Come, another one was lost. When she got to the yard, she called Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, are you at home?"
Xiaoqing frowned and waved to tell the five ghosts to retreat. Then she quickly opened the door and went out, "My aunt is here?"
Mrs. Xu saw Xiao Qing coming out of her younger brother and sister-in-law's bedroom, and she couldn't help but look puzzled: "Brother and sister-in-law are here?"
Xiaoqing shook her head: "Sister, she... went out..."
Then how can you just enter the bedroom? My brother's house is different now. In the past, there was nothing to throw away, but now it's different. I don't know how much money is piled up in the house. The master's family is not here. What if?
Something happened... When she thought about it, she couldn't help but have more random thoughts. Today's younger brother's net worth is one of the best in Qiantang. Why was he kidnapped by a monk? He must have been kidnapped, right?
The kidnappers are nothing more than two types of people. One is a stranger, who has heard about his brother's net worth. The other is an acquaintance, the type of person who knows everything best.
Previously, the father-in-law said that if he really followed the monk, he would not leave a message or a mark... But if he was really kidnapped, how would he have any chance to leave this?
The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. I couldn't help but look at Xiao Qing.
How could Xiaoqing not be nervous? Her sister had scared her brother to death, and if her aunt knew the truth, she was still pregnant. What a good thing it would be.
Mrs. Xu saw Xiao Qing was nervous, so she pointed to the bedroom: "Don't mention it, I'm really tired. Ask me to go in and have a rest..."
That won't work!
Xiaoqing stopped her quickly: "Madam, your home is next door. I'll hold you up like this. If you can't ask two guys to carry you, you can't."
You can go back."
Just don't let yourself go into the house.
Before she could say anything else, Madam Xu felt that she was almost half-carried by Xiao Qing, and she was carried to her home without leaving her feet off the ground. This girl's hands were too strong. She didn't dare to say anything more, seeing Xiao Qing
Qing didn't waste any time and hurried back, feeling even more confused.
After confirming that Xiaoqing was back in the yard next door, she quickly got up and ran to the county government office without saying a word.
As soon as he saw Li Gongfu, he pulled him to a place away from others and told him what happened just now: "...you said, Xiaoqing is so close to his younger siblings, why are they missing? Xiaoqing is not anxious at all. He has a big belly.
The woman went out alone, but she felt at ease at home. Why did she go into the bedroom? I said I wanted to go in, and she just did this..." imitating Xiaoqing's gesture to help Li Gongfu: "...I left both feet.
She just took me home without any trouble at all. Do you think...could it be..."
"The slave deceived the master, and then wanted to steal money?" Li Gongfu heard his wife say this, and he actually muttered in his heart, "Let's go! Go over and have a look."
Xiaoqing never expected that she would send away her aunt but attract the couple.
Li Gongfu was more direct: "...Xiaoqing, you ask us to go in and take a look. Otherwise, you have to go back to the county office with me and ask the master to ask questions."
Xiaoqing didn't dare to be caught going to the county government office. When she wanted to go to the county government office, she would secretly turn into a little snake at night. If she went like this, she would have to change back to her original form at the gate of the county government office. She didn't know how scared she would be to death.
personal.
If you don't want to go with me, you can resist. But if you resist, doesn't it mean that you have a problem? People from the county government will have to come to arrest you, and the death of the official cannot be hidden.
After thinking about it, she had to grit her teeth: "It's not that I won't let you in, actually..." She whispered: "Actually, the officials have found it. But I fainted. The eminent monk said that I need my sister in the Buddha.
Kneeling in front of him for three days and three nights, otherwise, the official would not be able to wake up. He would not dare to ask anyone to come closer, let alone ask the life lamp to go out. If you don’t believe it, come in and have a look. But be careful, the life lamp
, your breath will be extinguished."
How did you say this? Why can't you understand it?
I don’t have time to ask in detail, so let’s go in and take a look first.
But when he saw it, Li Gongfu's heart went cold. How could he have fainted? How could he look any different from a dead person?
As soon as Madam Xu said "Hanwenna", the life lamp closest to her began to sway violently a few times, and it seemed to be extinguished. Xiaoqing hurried over to pick it up, and pointed outward, which meant:
If you have anything to say, go out and say it, this is not the place for you.
As soon as she got outside, Mrs. Xu cried at the top of her lungs: "What on earth is Hanwen..."
"Alive." Xiaoqing said quickly.
Li Gongfu didn't say anything, he just sat there and looked at Xiaoqing, and then asked: "Where did my brother and sister go to the temple..."
this?
How did Xiaoqing know?
Looking at her with suspicious eyes, Xiaoqing was thinking about how to cover up her lie when a voice came from outside: "Brother-in-law, if you want to know anything, just ask me."
"Sister!" Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went out. Before she could say anything, White Lady stuffed something in her mouth: "Hurry up and make medicine and feed it to the officials to drink."
Xiaoqing nodded and went about her business.
Mrs. Bai just entered, and Mrs. Xu quickly asked: "Brother and sister, what is going on?"
How should the white lady respond to this?
I thought about it thousands of times, but I still couldn't help but feel heartache. She went up to the blue sky and fell to the underworld... However, the official followed the black and white impermanence, and on the way to the underworld, he avoided me like a snake and a scorpion.
Yes! I am originally a snake.
She did not pursue him any further. As long as his body was immortal, Lord Yama would judge him to return his yang. The first seven soul nights were when he was awake.
But before that, she turned her back, wiped away the tears that fell involuntarily, and then said: "Sister and brother-in-law, for the sake of officials, I have to ask my sister and brother-in-law for help with some things."
Mrs. Xu glanced towards the bedroom: "Hanwen..."
"In a few days, he will wake up." Bai Niangzi forced a smile and said: "But that day is also the day when Qing'er and I die."
ah?
Li Gongfu frowned: "What are these words?"
Mrs. Xu quickly pulled Mrs. Bai away: "Brothers and sisters, just tell me what's going on. We are a family..."
The White Snake took a deep breath: "...The official's misfortune was all caused by me. Xiaoqing and I learned some spells from masters when we were young..."
"Spells?" Mrs. Xu took two steps back: "It's like a Taoist priest who subdues demons and eliminates demons..."
White Snake: "..." She didn't know how to explain it, but if you want to understand it this way, that's fine. She nodded: "It's not far, it's just like that." She helped Mrs. Xu sit down,
"Back then, I was young and energetic, and I offended many people. Now, those people are seeking revenge, and the officials are implicated by me."
"Ah?" Mrs. Xu said: "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier? Who are these people? How could it be like this... If it doesn't work, let's report it to the official..."
"This is not a matter of reporting to the official." White Snake said: "The person who is offended is not a person, but..."
"Demon?" Mrs. Xu quickly pulled Gongfu Li away: "How can this happen?"
Li Gongfu didn't believe in those things at first, but first there was a monster in Kyoto, and he went out with his grandfather two days ago and experienced strange events. Now, he believes it: "This thing... do you have a way to deal with it? Otherwise, go
Please ask the eminent monk..."
"But after all, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days!" Bai Niangzi said: "Now, for the sake of officials, I don't have to worry about much. As long as Xiaoqing and I die, it will be over..."
"This can't be done!" Mrs. Xu said, "Why do you talk about it to death?"
"Sister." Bai Niangzi said: "It's not really dead. We need to let the officials and others know that Xiaoqing and I are both dead." She touched her belly, "There is also him, how could I really go there?
die?"
"This?" Mrs. Xu shook her head: "I was just dreaming about you at that time, and the Chinese language was as crazy as a demon. If I knew you were dead..."
"Sister, don't worry. The official has also experienced life and death. He is not as fragile as my sister thought." After saying that, she smiled, "And I won't go far. We know some magic, we just simply change our appearance."
. I want to go find Madam and redeem the old Xu family house that was sold to the Grand Master and Madam. I will live there with Qing'er. When the child is born in the future, the child's surname will be Xu..."
"How can that be done?" Mrs. Xu shook her head: "This is too unfair to you?"
"What's the grievance?" White Snake smiled and said: "I will take away half of the money. The house and shop will be left to the official. If in the future, the official has a girl he likes..." She gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, just give it to the official.
Just find another good match, and here, my sister and brother-in-law don’t have to worry about it.”
This is even more serious!
Before Li Gongfu could speak to Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Bai said: "Otherwise, I don't know when the official will be like this today, but I don't know if I can wake up next time..."
Mrs. Xu's mouth opened and closed, then opened and closed again, and she burst into tears, but she didn't know what to say.
What a good family, how could we just break up?
Xiaoqing was feeding Xu Xuan medicine inside. After hearing this, he felt relieved for no reason.
After confirming that the medicine was effective, she came out: "Then sister, why do you have to wait for the official to wake up before 'dying'? It's better to 'die' early. After 'dead', after the funeral is over, the official should also wake up."
.Wouldn’t it be good if everything has settled after waking up?”
White Snake's hand tightened, and it took her a long time to say: "... That's fine! Just do what Qing'er said."
The next day, Lin Yutong received news that the wife and maid of Xianggong Xu of Baohe Hall were dead.
How did you die?
It is said that while looking for Xianggong Xu, he slipped and rolled down the mountain and died. The body was brought back from outside the city. Many people in the city saw it. Now the Li family is holding a funeral.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, but he was a little surprised. He didn't expect White Snake to be so agile this time. Did she give up?
But no matter what you want to do, there was a funeral, and Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were old friends with the family, so they went there in person. Mrs. Xu was not seen, and only Li Gongfu was standing in front of the mourning hall.
Many people think it is a pity that they are such a good couple, and they are still pregnant with a child.
After three days of rest, the person was buried.
Then on the fourth night, Li Gongfu and Mrs. Xu stared closely at Xu Xuan who was lying on the bed. As soon as it was midnight, the person on the bed suddenly sat up like a corpse, and then gasped for breath.
gas.
"Hanwen!" Mrs. Xu went over, supported the man who was about to fall again, and called to Li Gongfu: "Bring water quickly!"
Xu Xuan's eyes were full of horror, "Snake...snake...big snake..."
"There are no snakes!" Mrs. Xu felt distressed and handed over the water: "This is home, where are the snakes? Look at me, look at who I am..."
"At home?" The fear in Xu Xuan's eyes became more intense: "My wife...is...a snake...there are...two snakes...at home..."
What does this say?
Mrs. Xu heard this and thought that her brother was saying: Madam, (that) is a snake. There are two snakes at home.
These words made her feel even more sad. She is such a good sister-in-law. She didn't see that Han Wen was scared and would call him "ma'am" first. When there was a snake in the house, she didn't say that the man should rush to it. Instead, she called him "ma'am." She was really spoiled.
Where can he find a wife who treats him so well from now on?
So he said: "Han Wen, I am the elder sister. You have to get better, otherwise you will not be able to stand up to your younger brother and sister! My younger brother and sister, she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Xu Xuan's hand holding his sister was trembling.
"Brothers and sisters and Xiaoqing are both dead." Even though it was a lie, I still couldn't help but cry when I thought about my brother's fate.
"Dead?" Xu Xuan's eyes widened, "Impossible!"
Li Gongfu sighed: "You are really dead. If you want to be worthy of your brothers and sisters, you have to live well. She, Xiaoqing, and the child in your belly have all three lives depended on you..."
Xu Xuan looked at Li Gongfu, then looked at the white curtain at home, the white belt wrapped around the waist of the young man who came in with a food box, and then looked at his sister and brother-in-law, who were indeed dressed in plain clothes.
"Really dead?" He said to himself, closed his eyes, and saw the snake eyes looking at him. There was no coldness in those eyes, only endless lingering. At this moment, his chest suddenly hurt:
"No! How could she die?"
Li Gongfu said: "As long as you are a human being, you will die! What's so strange about this?"
But she is not human!
The words almost came out, but they didn't come out. He lowered his eyelids, his heart fluctuating.
Mrs. Xu sobbed and cried: "You must be more open-minded. But you can't..."
Xu Xuan grabbed the bowl in her sister's hand and drank a bowl of water: "I will not seek death." I have to know whether she is really dead or fake. My heart is in a mess, I don't know if she is really dead.
I don't know what will happen to me, and I don't know what I will do if I fake my death, but I just feel that I have to figure it out. Before I figure it out, I must not die.
He drank the water, stood up staggeringly, went to the table, took out the rice from the food box and ate without saying a word.
Li Gongfu and his wife didn't know what it meant, so they stared at it closely.
Mrs. Xu said: "It would be better to open an arch on the wall separating our two families. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest assured if the Chinese language is like this."
Okay! Whatever you want!
Outside, the white lady who was hiding in the dark was really relieved when she saw that Xu Xuan was safe and sound.
Xiaoqing pulled White Snake and shook her head gently.
White Snake gritted her teeth and followed Xiaoqing, turning into two rays of light and heading outside the city.
Two days later, before Xu Xuan's body recovered, a family came to the dock in Qiantang.
The head of the house was a handsome young man in green clothes. He was followed by a woman wearing a bonnet with a bulging belly. The two settled at an inn on the pier.
The store owner said that there was a room for the upper room, so the young man said, "That's for my sister."
oh!
It turns out they are not a couple.
When the shopkeeper inquired, the young man said that she was his sister, a newly widowed woman.
He is also a poor man.
I asked the siblings if they were on this trip to find relatives or to do business. After asking, I found out that the younger brother was sending his older sister back to his brother-in-law’s ancestral home. It was said that the Xu family went to Kyoto to make a living decades ago, and now the family business has withered.
, the only thing left was my sister’s belly. Living in the capital was not easy, so I sold my belongings and wanted to come back and settle down.
After living there for two days, the siblings fell in love with a house. Unfortunately, this house was the one the grandpa lived in before. But the grandpa was a merciful person after all, and sold the house to the siblings at the original price.
So, the plaque on the door of this house was changed to Xu House.
Only then did everyone realize that it was Bai Qingtang, the younger brother of the Bai Xu family, who was out to provide support. As for the name of the widowed woman... no one asked, it was just the Bai Xu family.
Li Gongfu had met Bai Qingtang several times in the alley, and he knew in his heart that this was Xiao Qing, but when he looked again, he still couldn't see the slightest resemblance. When Xiao Qing saw him, it was like meeting a stranger, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
, turned around and left.
Mrs. Xu passed by the old house while shopping for groceries and pushed the door in. Before she could see her younger siblings, she was blocked by Xiao Qing: "Madam Li, my sister has been tired from traveling all the way and hasn't gotten up yet... I'll wait for a few days to finish packing."
Now, I will go visit the neighbors..."
It really looked like they didn't recognize each other.
"Xiaoqing..." Mrs. Xu whispered: "No one..."
"What Xiaoqing? Who is Xiaoqing?" There was no unnecessary expression on Xiaoqing's face: "I'm afraid Mrs. Li has recognized the wrong person."
Then he sent the person out so politely.
When Mrs. Xu went back, she muttered to Li Gongfu: "Could it be that he lied to us? In fact, my brothers and sisters..."
"Hush!" Li Gongfu whispered: "Just think of yourself as dead. For the sake of Chinese culture, don't keep looking for me!"
The white lady touched her belly and said to Xiaoqing: "Why do you do this to your sister and brother-in-law?"
"Sister, human nature is cold." Xiao Qing sneered: "Although what my sister said is not the truth, seeing her pregnant with the child and pretending to be dead and running away... Who has ever thought about my sister's feelings?"
The white lady patted Xiao Qing: "Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore. We have to give birth to the child and raise the child. It is impossible without someone to protect us. Madam has helped us a lot, so we should be able to use it.
It's time. Tonight, I will visit Madam again..."
Although I don't know why Madam Bai did this, since she came over on her own initiative and wanted to help, Lin Yutong had absolutely no reason to refuse.
