"Did you see clearly? The golden jar!" Old Man Jiang snorted coldly, turned around and left. The township head saw what was in the jar and suffered from trypophobia. How dare he stay here longer? After following Old Man Jiang, I sighed, thinking that Old Du was really a bit hateful, but thinking about what happened to my second sister back then, I couldn't help but think, if something like this happened to my family, what would happen to our three siblings? If one of them is a fool, what will my parents do
Thinking like this, the original accusation against Lao Du faded away, and I followed Old Man Jiang away. I knew that I was not the only one who saw this way, my cheap master must have also felt compassion. After all, If he deliberately embarrasses Guo Er and Lao Du about tomb robbing, they would already be in the cell now.
Just as we and I were about to step out of the door, a dull voice sounded from behind: "Old man, you're hungry, you're hungry."
I turned my head in shock. The voice was obviously deep and deep, that of an adult man, but the tone was so innocent. If it wasn't meant to be funny, it would be a sad thing indeed.
What caught my eye was a somewhat fat adult man, but he was clean and tidy, with a silly smile on his face. Is this Lao Du's silly son
"Old man, I feel sick in my stomach. I feel so hungry." The man looked at me and smiled foolishly a few times, then turned to beg Lao Du.
I glanced at Lao Du and saw him taking out a handkerchief and wiping the drool from the corner of his silly son's mouth. He said softly: "Old man, I'll get something to eat later."
I don't know if it was my imagination, but I clearly saw that Lao Du's eyes were a little red, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper.
Two heavy sighs sounded in my ears at the same time.
"The one in Guo Er's stomach is an adult insect. It attacks quickly, but your son is about to attack too. Bring him to xx's house tomorrow. I will kill the insects there for the villagers tomorrow. You are greedy. You and your son are now They’re all full of worms.”
It was my master. After saying that, he turned around and left. I felt a little warm in my heart. This matter was Lao Du's fault, but my master would still help them. This should be the soft spot in my master's heart, right
"Why don't you thank Master Jiang quickly." The mayor said to Lao Du anxiously.
But Lao Du just stared blankly at my master's back, tears streaming down his face, his throat rolling, and he couldn't say a word.
It was night, and a dim light illuminated the whole room. Old Man Jiang looked serious, and his forehead was unusually covered with sweat, which showed that he was very tired.
I couldn't do much to help him, so I kept mixing cinnabar water for him and handed him the talismans one by one.
As for Huijue, he was boiling some medicinal herbs. He said that he would boil these medicinal herbs until they were mashed, then mix them with honey, add talisman ash, and roll them into pills.
After writing 50 talismans, Old Man Jiang almost collapsed. I quickly helped him sit aside. He picked up the cup, took a sip of hot tea to soothe his throat, and then said to me: "Go and burn these talismans." Now, take Fu Hui to Hui Jue."
I had a lot of questions, but at this time I couldn't bear that Master was too tired, so I agreed and went to do what he asked.
It wasn't until late at night that we finished our work, and the result was more than thirty pills on the table, waiting to be dried.
Master and I could rest, but Huijue was looking at these pills and reciting an unknown scripture in a low voice. I was very curious about what Huijue did, but before I could ask any questions, Master had already said He said: "Those are not ordinary bugs, they are the larvae of hungry ghosts in this world. This pill is made up of several highly masculine flavors and two herbs with exorcism effects. What I wrote is an exorcism charm." , under normal circumstances, burning the talisman, mixing it with water and drinking it will have an effect, but this hungry ghost insect is extraordinary. Even so, we are still worried. The power of Buddhist thought is very powerful, old man Huijue I can barely be considered an eminent monk, and if the eminent monk’s mind power is attached to the pills, the effect will be even better.”
I nodded and glanced at old man Huijue. He was still reciting scriptures with a solemn expression.
After about an hour, Huijue stopped praying and stood up. I saw that he was also relatively weak. His head and back were almost covered with sweat. For the first time, I wanted to hand Huijue a piece of paper with respect. Handkerchief, but after Hui Jue stood up, he waved his fist and jumped towards Old Man Jiang!
Yes, I read that right, I just jumped over. I guess even running him felt slow!
"Jiang Lichun, you are a fool. I have been in trouble for eight lifetimes before I got to know you! What does it mean to be reluctant? You are an eminent monk, and you are a real eminent monk."
Old Man Jiang was also stunned by this incident. He was punched on the shoulder by Hui Jue. He was also angry. He stood up and started fighting with Hui Jue: "*** Hui Jue, you... You melon, saying that you are barely a monk is just to give you face. You want claws (what do you want to do), I can’t beat you to death."
I looked at this scene helplessly, thinking to myself, should I pretend I didn't see it? Or just pretend you didn’t see it
But I didn't want them both to turn around and look at me at the same time.
"Go do your homework for me, why are you sitting here?"
"If you want to destroy your child, you should eliminate your habits. If you don't eliminate your habits, are you going to be a fool like your master?"
I sighed heavily, turned around and went out. It would be better to play Wuqinxi outside than to watch these two old men being silly.
The next day, the villagers were notified through loudspeakers in the village. A township meeting was held in the afternoon, and everyone must attend!
This is the case in the countryside. Important decisions are usually conveyed through loudspeakers. After all, the villagers live far away, so the loudspeakers are indispensable.
This meeting was held at three o'clock in the afternoon. What surprised the villagers in Xiangchang was that the person presiding over the meeting was actually a big shot like the township secretary.
The so-called Xiangchang is just a larger village, but the township government is here. They also have their own village chiefs, and it is rare for cadres from the township to preside over meetings in person. After all, this kind of thing is rare.
Therefore, this means that there is something very important to be announced, and people are extremely curious.
Following the voice of the township chief, people fell silent. After the usual official talk, the township chief began to get to the point: "I believe everyone knows what happened to Guo Jianjun's family. We have invited experts from the city. After investigation and research, we found that a variant of roundworm has appeared in our township, and it is initially estimated that it was spread through some unclean sewage."
I was also mixed in with Surou and listening to the excitement. When I heard what the township chief said, my eyes widened. Surou whispered to me from the side: "Officials are really powerful. This hungry ghost insect is so tough." He said it was a roundworm and even called in experts."
I don’t know what to say. Anyway, this is the right decision. Otherwise, what else would I say to the people? Could it be that there are hungry ghosts that are going to wreak havoc here? It's strange that people don't panic.
"Fortunately, the larvae of this hungry ghost are insects. What if they are spiders?" Su Rou had a vicious mouth, and even the mayor dared to ridicule him.
"What do you say? Why don't we invite experts and say that we have discovered a mutant spider that likes to get into people's stomachs." Through this incident, I understood that it doesn't matter even if its larvae are pigs, ordinary people are loyal to their hearts. Trust those at the top who speak, and even more trust the educated experts.
"Ha, Sanwa'er, I found that you are still a bit bad, you can figure it out." Su Rou laughed.
I glanced at him. The township chief on the stage was still talking, preaching that everyone must pay attention to drinking water hygiene and that water should be boiled for drinking. It was really ridiculous.
Finally, the township head changed the topic and said very sadly: "But many people in the village have been infected with this disease. Our township personally invited experts from the city to bring us special medicine, because this kind of bug is not ours." The township discovered it first, so we are very lucky to have developed a special anthelmintic drug. The drug is free, and the money is advanced by the township. This is upholding the spirit of doing practical things for everyone... "
The mayor's words were interrupted by applause. Surou and I rolled our eyes at the same time, admiring each other in our hearts that officials are just so different.
