"What did Uncle Qian mean when he said she was weird?" I asked in a random direction.
Shen Zhaoshan's voice suddenly appeared in my ear: "Do you know about needles going under the skin?"
"Huh? The needles wander under the skin?"
"Um."
Zhou Cheng said angrily: "Is that a travel needle? That's a travel bag."
Shen Zhaoshan hummed.
Hiss... let me think about it.
What does it look like when there's a big bump swimming under the skin... It's quite weird.
"Can you tell what it is?" I asked.
They were silent for a while, and I was getting a little impatient. Zhou Hu suddenly said: "You three shake your heads, can Yun Nuanting see you?"
I:"……"
Zhou Chengshan laughed sarcastically.
They didn't know, and I didn't know if my mother knew, so I asked Shen Zhaoshan to open the window and listen to what was said outside.
Shen Zhaoshan was extremely obedient.
The window was opened and there was a creaking sound. The yard outside was quiet except for the sound of breathing one after another. It seemed that no one had left.
After a while, I heard my mother’s deep voice: “It’s Miao Jiang’s Gu technique.”
"Ah? Miaojiang Gu Technique?"
"Who among us knows this?"
"Who among us knows how to do this? We are all honest people. The one who knows how to do this is definitely not among us!"
"Village Chief! Village Chief! Think of a solution quickly. Is there someone who wants to harm the people in our village? Just like the corpse mother before!"
For a moment, the yard felt like a frying pan was exploding. There were so many noises that it was difficult to hear who was who.
However, Aunt Jiang had a loud voice, and she suppressed those voices as soon as she spoke: "Stop arguing! Goddess, how much can you say to cure it? I have money!"
Someone whispered: "You are so stingy when you have money, and you don't buy a new room number for your youngest son and daughter-in-law."
"Tsk, what do you know? Her youngest son is a fool. She is afraid that he will be bullied."
The village is like this. Just sitting at home, you can hear many stories.
My mother suppressed those voices, and it happened that Uncle Qian asked my mother to explain in detail whether Aunt Jiang would die if she fell into this poison.
My mother sighed and said in a very serious tone: "This is stone voodoo, one of the common voodoo species. When I was looking for a solution for Nuanting, I saw this kind of voodoo when I passed by Miaojiang."
Aunt Jiang shouted anxiously: "Are you going to die?"
"Don't be impatient, listen to me first. When stone poison enters a person's body, it will only become a hard stone in the stomach at first. It will take three or four months for people like you to move freely, cry, and be poisoned.
The stool will gradually coagulate and cause constipation. Within three to five years, you will die. You were poisoned three or four months ago."
After my mother finished speaking, the yard became quiet. She was probably scared.
After all, it is a voodoo. Although everyone does not understand it, it is often shown in TV dramas. In addition, if you don’t know where the voodoo comes from and who cast it, you are naturally afraid.
Some people also said: "Three or four months ago, Chiang Kai-shek didn't come to our village, so the poisoner shouldn't be here, right?"
Aunt Jiang immediately shouted: "Damn it! Who on earth poisoned me! Goddess, please save me! Please save me!"
This time, Aunt Jiang's words were several degrees softer.
My mother also patiently comforted her: "It's not a big deal. You go back and eat realgar, garlic, calamus, and boiled water raw. If you eat it until you have vomiting and diarrhea, and it gets better on its own, the poison will be cured, but there will be a year later."
Time, you can’t eat fish and shrimp.”
"Okay, okay! I'm going to buy it now! I'm going to buy it now!"
My mother has always been like this. Whenever she speaks, she always gives people a backbone. The yard soon becomes less chaotic, but everyone is still worried about who is the poisoner and whether there is a poisoner in the village. They keep surrounding them and refuse to leave.
.
My mother and Uncle Qian comforted me for a long time, and asked all the gentlemen to go to the village headquarters for a meeting, saying that they would organize people to take turns to keep vigil in the village.
This will do.
Zhou Cheng ran up to me out of nowhere and spoke with respect: "Your mother is so cool? Does Miao Jiang know all the voodoo arts?"
"My mother is an old goddess. She has been in the industry longer than you. She also found a way to cure my eyes and traveled through most of the country. She has seen a lot."
A hand fell on my shoulder and patted me. It was Zhou Hu: "There is no need to treat it now."
"...Can you stop talking and it hurts your heart?"
Grab the bamboo shoots.
…
After everyone in the village left, my mother went back to the backyard to go to the church hall. In such a hurry, she didn’t notice that there were too many people in the house.
After a while my dad and Zhao Ting came in.
My dad was stunned at first: "Oh, you guys didn't tell me in advance when you came. We're preparing meals at home."
"You're welcome. We had already eaten when we came here. I was worried whether we would disturb you."
Me: "..." Shen Zhaoshan seemed to have lost his temper, but now he is becoming more and more polite.
But my father could not refuse his kindness and insisted on letting them stay here for a few days to experience our local customs and customs.
What's there to feel good about? It's freezing cold, and they have to help with the work if they stay. However, none of these people can shirk and they all stay.
During dinner in the evening, I remembered to ask Zhou Cheng: "What are you asking me then?"
I don’t know if Zhou Cheng admires my mother too much. The dishes made by my mother are so delicious that he eats them and screams like a pig: "I forgot about it too."
On the other hand, Shen Zhaoshan was extremely polite and even told Zhou Cheng to pay attention to his image from time to time.
After dinner, my mother went to the backyard again, and Shen Zhaoshan rushed to wash the dishes. I finally couldn't hold back the doubts in my heart: "Shen Zhaoshan, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhou Cheng laughed, and was given a large pen by Shen Zhaoshan.
Lulu held my hand and walked around the kitchen door, letting me move around.
"I also feel... a little strange." Lulu whispered to me.
After that, Shen Zhaoshan hesitated for a long time without explaining why.
"Brother Shen, why are your ears red?" After Zhou Cheng asked, I was stunned.
"Is it too cold in my house? How about Lulu and I go to the city and open a hotel for you."
Shen Zhaoshan took a deep breath and said loudly: "It's okay, I'm just too hot. I just need to go for a walk after washing the dishes."
The corners of my mouth twitched... It was too hot, what the weather, he was still hot, he was already in his thirties, and he was as energetic as a young man.
When I went to bed at night, my mother and Sister Lu came to Lulu and I's room, and I silently squeezed the essence in my pocket.
The god has been back for a day, and I don't know how the discussion went.
I thought about it and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I was woken up by Uncle Qian banging on the door.
"Guizhi Guizhi! Guizhi, are you awake?"
My mother responded and made a rustling sound while getting dressed: "Come on, come on, what's wrong, village chief? What happened again?"
My mother went down to the ground and walked to the outhouse to open the door. Then Uncle Qian's voice became louder: "Oh, I found out. Our village is really helpless without you. Go and have a look."
