Early the next morning, Xu Dagui sent someone to invite Dao Chang Chu.
When Xu Dagui was young, he gave birth to three sons in a row. When he was 38 years old, he finally found a baby girl, and the family was happy.
It's a pity that the health is not good.
Daochang Chu was ready for something, and then he brought the slip to the door with him.
Xu Dagui’s house is not considered the most magnificent in the village. There is a cement path at the door, and seasonal flowers are planted on both sides.
Several disciples of the Tianxuan faction had already had breakfast, holding a compass in their hands, and wandering around the village.
Tiaozi found out that Xu Dagui's youngest daughter was only about six years old after having eaten it briefly, and she had lost her soul every one or two months for the past two years.
Originally, Daochang Chu had calculated a hexagram for him, saying that this girl was light-hearted and easy to provoke things near the water.
In the past two months, the rate of soul loss has increased to once every two weeks. Sometimes it can return to normal by itself, and sometimes it must be dealt with by Taoist Chu.
There is no need for Tiaozi to come forward in person for such a trivial matter as losing the soul.
After eating breakfast, while everyone was in the room of Xu Dagui's house, looking for the soul of the little girl, she came to the thatched house that was a little messy.
The wooden door was eroded by termites, the steps were covered with moss, and the door opened slightly with a creak.
Tiaozi was worried that the old man inside coughed politely, "Is anyone there?"
The answer to him was silence...
The other foot of Tiaozi also stepped in and looked around the yard. The withered creeper occupies the entire wall. The only green in the yard is the vine at the corner of the wall, with two or three purple-red stamens dotted with it.
Bang bang bang...
Suddenly there was a sound of a teacup falling to the ground and bounced in the room. Tiao said that he was worried that the old man in the room had made a mistake, so he hurried in.
After pushing open the door, his face was covered with thick spider webs.
The dust that slivers shook off the roof coughed, "Cough cough..."
Suddenly, there was a small sound of footsteps in the small house in the innermost part of the house. Then, the wooden door creaked, and from the inside came out a gray-haired, ragged old woman with a rickety back.
Holding a simple walking stick made of willow branches in her hand, the old woman said quickly and respectfully: "Old man, you don't have to panic. I just heard..."
Before he finished speaking, he discovered that the old woman’s eyes were gone...
The eye sockets are deep and concave, and there is no trace of eyeballs inside. Tiao Zi is shocked. If this is the case, then the person who hid in the corner in the morning to spy on himself is...
The old woman was slightly stunned when she heard the sound of the note, and then stretched out her old, dead branch-like right hand in her direction, "Your accent sounds a little strange, is it a tourist from a foreign country?"
"Old woman, I am the nephew of the former village elder Chu. I am passing by here, ready to come and rest. Old man, do you live alone at home?"
Tiaozi hurriedly helped the old woman to sit down beside him. The house was clean and visible, and the old woman was usually a hardworking person.
When the old woman heard that he was the nephew of Chu Daochang, she hurriedly fumbled for a pot of hot water for him. She was worried that she would scald herself, and quickly took the kettle, "Old woman, don't be so polite."
Tiaozi poured a cup of tea for herself, and then poured another cup for the old woman.
The old woman sat down on the table and chairs, "How is he now? Speaking of which, we have not seen each other for two months. I am immortal. Thanks to his care, I saved a small life!"
After careful questioning, Tiaozi realized that there was still such a relationship between Daochang Chu and the old woman.
Daochang Chu mentioned that the old woman had become a woman in old age, but this daughter drowned and died for unknown reasons.
The old woman and lover eagerly rushed out to look for her daughter on a rainy night, and was accidentally blinded by the steel bars. If it weren't for Mr. Chu's arrival in time, the old woman's life would not be saved.
After pulling it for a long time, Tiaozi asked tentatively: "The Daoist said that you still have a daughter."
call out--
A strong wind blew the window open. The dried chilies hanging on both sides were scattered on the ground. A few willow leaves slid across the cheek of the sliver, leaving a thin mark. The sliver suddenly bounced from the seat and rushed out of the window. It was found on the window sill. Some water stains.
He dipped some water stains on his fingertips to the tip of his nose. The smell was a bit fishy, "It's the smell of sea water."
The old woman also heard the new wind and got up from her chair in a panic, hitting a willow cane on one side, "Is it you who came back? Xiaoqin. Is Xiaoqin you back?"
The old man spread his hands and looked for it in the room in a daze.
At this time, Xu Dagui suddenly opened the door and walked in and saw the strips in the room, his face changed, but,
It returned to normal in an instant. After hearing Xu Dagui's voice, the old woman immediately froze in place, instinctively wanting to step back.
"The third aunt is me..." After Chu Dao spoke, the old woman's face returned to normal, and she teased a little: "So it's you, I thought there was a thief in the house."
The old woman's hands were cramped together, her head drooping, as if she was afraid of something
Daochang Chu was his lifesaver, and Tiaozi himself hadn't been long since he first came to this village. So, basically, the reason for the big change in the face of the old woman should be Xu Dagui who suddenly appeared.
"My third aunt is very expensive. Didn't I send you two bags of rice a few days ago? Did you eat well recently? As soon as the weather turns cold, I'll send you a few sets of clothes." When Xu Dagui spoke, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but the third aunt shook her hands as she listened.
Strange, really strange.
After seeing Xu Dagui arrived, Tiaozi did not stay longer. Xu Dagui's daughter's illness had been cured. Daochang Chu had discussed it with Xu Dagui before, and wanted to take advantage of the hot spots of Tiaozi and his party to go to sea for inspection.
Nearly before boarding the ship, Xu Dagui asked someone to bring a sandalwood box from home. After opening the box, there were tens of thousands of dollars in cash. "I have saved this money for most of my life. You are going to sea this time, risky. Uncertain, I have always disliked taking advantage of others, so this should be regarded as a reward for you."
Before Daochang Chu spoke, the note had already received the tens of thousands of dollars. After weighing it, he felt that something was wrong, and then opened the box, took a look, and found that it was actually mixed with a few coins.
Is this a reward for going to sea? Or the paper money to send him on the road
Realizing that something was wrong, the note did not say directly, but turned around and handed the money to Daochang Chu, "This should be the rules of your seaside people, please please."
