The old Taoist just lived in Linjia Village. He would go out and hang out in the village on normal days. He was very polite and friendly to the people he met and had no airs.
Everyone gradually adapted to the extra old man, but some of the actions of this old Taoist were very strange to the old lady who knew the cause and effect of the matter.
Ordinary Taoists, such as old Taoist priests, should practice in Taoist temples. In this case, it is impossible and will not live outside all the time. Although some Taoist priests need to travel around, they will not stay in one place for too long.
long time.
For things like this that happened in Lin Laosan's house, it was normal for him to find someone who could handle this matter since he couldn't handle it himself.
Now the child has returned to normal and is as lively as before. Judging from his performance during this period, there are no problems at all, which means that there are no sequelae.
Logically speaking, Lin Laosan's matter has been dealt with. Even if the Taoist Priest is worried about staying here for a few days, half a month has passed. In any case, this old man should be ready to leave.
Linjia Village.
But judging from the old man's actions, not only did he have no intention of leaving Linjia Village, he also seemed to be planning to stay here forever.
It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. Although the eyes of the elderly may look cloudy, they are brighter than the eyes of many people. They can see many things that young people or juniors cannot.
Rather than seeing with their eyes, it is better to say that they see everything with their hearts.
The old Taoist priest's actions during this period have always been watched by the old lady.
This old Taoist priest wanders around the village every day, seemingly just wandering around, but in fact, it is not the case.
The old lady's focus is different from other people's. Although she cannot take in all the actions of the old Taoist, she can find that the seemingly random actions of the old Taoist actually have certain rules.
She couldn't figure out this pattern, but the strange feeling in her heart became more and more serious.
Moreover, she also noticed that this old Taoist man seemed approachable, but he was only interested in some people in the village.
Among them were Xu Guodong and Lin Juan. They had been worrying about Xu Guodong and Lin Juan's affairs before. They also learned from Xu Guodong that the progress between him and Lin Juan was very good. Even some young wives said that it seemed that this Lin Juan
Juan and Mr. Xiao Xu can really become a couple.
These two people seem to be a perfect match. Standing together, they are a golden couple.
As a member of the older generation, it is certainly great to be able to see the happy life of the younger generation.
Very happy, especially since this pair of mandarin ducks were married by their own hands.
However, this old Taoist who suddenly appeared made the old lady feel vaguely uneasy. This uneasiness had no reason and she could not find a reasonable explanation. However, it slowly increased as time went by.
It even felt like a dark cloud slowly shrouded this peaceful and peaceful Linjia Village.
It was just like the feeling she had in the village where she was born.
"Could it be that something big happened in the village?"
The old lady's thoughts were getting worse day by day. She couldn't figure out these things, but she couldn't let them go. She didn't dare to tell other people, for fear that they would be worried and that they wouldn't believe it.
When she felt this way, she told Xu Guodong privately, but she didn't say much, she just told him to be careful about that old Taoist priest.
Xu Guodong nodded in agreement at that time. He was very grateful to this old lady. He also heard from everyone that this old lady once made a special trip to Lin Laosan's house for his business. He was very satisfied with Lin Juan.
, I also like it very much, so I am also grateful to this old man.
But the old lady could see clearly. Although Xu Guodong nodded in agreement, this little Mr. Xu still had not experienced some things. Although they, intellectuals, were well-informed, they also believed in science more. They also believed in some ghost legends.
Just listen to it as some stories.
The old man could feel that Xu Guodong was indeed not prepared to interact too much with the old Taoist, but it was not because of anything he felt, but because of her words.
But if there is no beginning or end, it can only make Xu Guodong pay a little attention to his actions.
In a simple age, how could the interactions between people be dominated by a word from an outsider?
Xu Guodong can be said to be a well-educated person, but the old Taoist man is obviously not an ordinary person. After several coincidental encounters and late night conversations, this old Taoist man has unknowingly become Xu Guodong's confidant.
The old man saw this and was worried, and his body and bones were getting worse day by day.
Less than half a year has passed, and the matter between Xu Guodong and Lin Juan has become known to everyone. Although it has not reached the final step, Xu Guodong has been brought to the Lin family.
The old Taoist man was also present at that time and praised them directly. These two children were a match made in heaven. It would be a beautiful thing if they got married.
The elders of the Lin family did not refuse this time, nor did they put Xu Guodong to any test. They happily agreed to the marriage of the two. On the day of the wedding, the village was filled with joy. The Lin family even hired a carpenter to build a large sedan chair for them.
It can be said that Xu Guodong, the groom's official, was in high spirits for a while.
After the marriage, the two even came to the old lady's house to thank the matchmaker.
At that time, the old lady could no longer get off the bed, her face was sallow, and she was getting worse day by day.
A newlywed couple came to the old lady and saw the two children. The old lady was very pregnant, but she became more and more worried about the old Taoist priest.
Although he hasn't gone out for a long time, he learned about the ordinary behavior of the old Taoist from the mouths of some people of the younger generation. After the old lady's health failed, the old Taoist rarely wandered around the village.
Hill running.
He often stayed away for three to five days, and no one knew what the old Taoist was doing.
When Xu Guodong went to Lin's house, the old Taoist rushed back from the mountains and ran to Lin's house. It was precisely because of what the old Taoist said at that time that Xu Guodong was saved a lot of trouble, allowing him to successfully communicate with Lin.
Juan got married.
Many people in the village said that the old Taoist came back to support Mr. Xu because of his face.
But in the eyes of the old lady, this is not the case.
The feeling towards this old Taoist in her heart was getting worse and worse, but when she said this, not even her own son believed it, let alone others. The old lady, who was already very worried, found out that even her son did not believe her words.
, and said nothing more.
The food he eats becomes less and less day by day, the words he speaks become less and less, and the whole person becomes more and more silent.
After the newlyweds came to thank the old lady, they were about to leave. However, when the old lady saw Lin Juan, her eyes lit up. She had no energy at first, but now she forced herself to sit up.
After driving the others out, she tremblingly took out a small cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Lin Juan. At the same time, she also told Lin Juan that no matter what, she must be careful about that old man.
Taoist priest.
Lin Juan didn't think much about it at the time, but looking at the old man's earnest eyes, she understood that the old man was definitely not harming her.
But she also wondered why her family didn't realize that the old Taoist priest was invited by her third uncle. If there were any problems, it would be impossible for her third uncle to let him stay in Linjia Village.
But she was an extremely smart girl. She silently put away the small cloth bag given by the old man and nodded seriously. She still trusted this old woman who had watched her grow up. She believed that this old woman would not
I would say this to her for no reason.
After remembering the old man's instructions and making a promise, he left sadly.
But the next day, bad news came to the village. The old man had passed away that night.
The old man's instructions turned out to be his last words...
