Chapter 131 Lonely Ghost
The lunch was quite rich, but the meal was very dull. After the meal, they hurried home separately.
At the next day, most of the people in the village went up the mountain to sweep the tomb and worship. They were sending people to ask the Xu family to help the altar. Ye couldn't take care of the children, so they could only let Xu Laosan take Xu Xinger there.
The opening practice of the forum in July and half is mainly to surpass the lonely ghosts. Xu Xinger did not understand these rules, so she did not go forward to join in the fun and only did some work outside.
Today's sun is very big, and the altar is set in an open space without shade. Xu Xinger felt a little dizzy and weak in her hands and feet for less than an hour. She quickly greeted Xu Laosan and found a shaded place to rest for a while. When her hands and feet felt strong, she went home to prepare for a little. After sleeping for a while, I didn't expect Ye Shi to see Xing'er coming back, so he asked her to go to Xu Lao's house quickly and said that something seemed to be wrong with Yingzi.
Xu Xinger saw that Ye looked anxious and did not dare to delay. She hurried to Xu Lao's second house. She saw that except for Xu Laosan and Ye, the family were basically crowded in the west room. Mrs. Xu sat on the edge of the kang and was scolding Yingzi: "There are cheap people everywhere. If she wants to say, she can say that you can still lose a piece of meat. Can it be peeled off? If someone says a few words and looks for life, are you worthy of the family raising you so much?
Yingzi lay on his back on the kang, staring straight at the ceiling, his face was as dead gray, and he turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him.
When Chen saw Xu Xinger coming, he pulled Xu Xinger over and said, "Xinger, you are about the same age as Yingzi. Come and help comfort her."
Xu Xinger just entered the house and didn't know what had happened. Now she was suddenly pulled to the side of the kang by Chen, looking at the dead Yingzi, and judging from what Mrs. Xu had just said, it should not be a good thing.
"Madam, I'm young and ignorant, and I don't know how to comfort. If I'm about the same age, Sister Yingzi is even older than us and more stable than us. Let her accompany Yingzi and comfort Sister Yingzi, the effect must be much better than mine." Xu Xinger pushed the matter three or six or five times. Looking at Chen's appearance of throwing stones and hitting her feet, she asked with concern, "What's wrong with this, aunt? Isn't it uncomfortable?"
"You are heavy now, so you should worry less about your family affairs. It's serious to have a good baby." Mrs. Xu now attaches great importance to Chen's body. After hearing this, she quickly asked Chen to sit down and speak. If she needs any instructions, she doesn't need to be polite to her family. Then she said to Chen, "Xing'er is reasonable. Da Shuang is the oldest child in the family. She is also stable and close to Yingzi. Let her come and accompany Ying. Son."
Chen wanted to pull Xu Xinger in, but she didn't expect to wrap her daughter in. For a moment, she looked a little ugly and said stammerly, "Well, Dashuang has been busy making dowry recently and usually doesn't go out easily!"
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her with some dissatisfaction. In case she was pregnant, she did not open her mouth to scold, but said, "Where is the needlework? Let her bring it here to do it. It happens that Yingzi can help, and the two can also be a companion to each other."
"Yes." Chen couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so he had to grit his teeth and agree.
As he spoke, Yingzi lay straight on the kang, without paying attention or reacting at all.
Xu Xinger rubbed against Xu Lingzi and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's wrong with this? Aren't you all right in the morning?"
"It seems that someone gossiped outside. For a moment, I couldn't think of it and ran to the river and let the villagers see that they were rescued. After sending it back, they found that there was no one at home and went to our place to call someone. After such a toss, the whole family knew it." Xu Lingzi told Xu Xinger in a low voice.
"It's not a matter of this or two to gossip. Why can't I stand it today?" Xu Xinger sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm still stimulated by what happened this morning."
Old Mrs. Xu was still counting Yingzi. Xu Xinger couldn't really listen. She took advantage of her time and said, "Milk, I'll call the eldest sister." After saying that, before the old lady Xu could speak, she quickly oiled the soles of her feet and slipped away.
After tossing around in the afternoon, I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. After dinner in the evening, the whole family had to burn paper together.
Xu Xinger felt a little dizzy when she went out. She didn't know if she was suffering from heatstroke, but she thought that her family was full of tension today. She didn't want to be special at this time, so she didn't propose it. She wanted to go home after burning the paper. It won't take long, and there should be no problem.
I didn't think that Xu Xinger's eyes darkened and fell to the ground without waiting for the gold and silver paper to be burned.
"Xing'er? Xing'er?" Ye was so scared that her hair stood up. She jumped up and shook it twice, and pinched the people hard. She found that Xu Xinger had no reaction. The real person panicked, "Her father, you, come and have a look. What's wrong with Xing'er? Ah? What's wrong?"
Ye was so scared that he lost his six souls and hugged Xu Xinger and only knew how to cry.
Xu Laosan picked up Xu Xing'er and ran to the doctor's house. Ye quickly pulled Tao'er behind him.
The doctor was a little surprised to see Xu Xinger. After diagnosing her pulse, she wiped her hand and said, "Xing'er came to see it once a few days ago because she suddenly fainted in the mountains. I diagnosed her pulse at that time and asked her to pay attention to rest. Don't work too hard, but today it seems that the situation has not improved, but it has become more and more serious."
Ah? Did you faint in the mountains a few days ago?" Hearing this, Ye almost fainted on the spot and hugged her daughter and wept.
Xu Laosan wiped his sweat and asked, "Dough, what's wrong with Xing'er?"
"Now is the time when she grows up. She can't keep up with what she usually eats, and she is too tired, so first she is weak in qi and then slowly leads to blood deficiency. Now it can be said that there is a deficiency of both qi and blood. If she doesn't pay attention to it, it will become more and more serious." The doctor tried his best to tell the two people in a language that he could understand. "She should have had a heatstroke today, and then she didn't pay attention to it and didn't go to rest quickly, so she fainted. Let her have a good rest and should wake up."
"Dr., what kind of medicine do you want to prescribe?" Ye looked at her daughter's pale face and was heartbroken.
"In fact, you don't need to prescribe any medicine. You must pay more attention when you go back, make her some warm and nourishing food, boil some chicken soup or mutton soup, eat more things such as fungus, red dates, peanuts and so that you can see it for a while."
"Thank you very much." Xu Laosan thanked the doctor and took Xu Xing'er home.
When I got home, I found that Mrs. Xu was already waiting at home, and there were two colorful middle-aged women with her.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xu Laosan asked in surprise.
"What are you talking about? Naturally, the god is invited to exorcise evil spirits and ghosts!" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and said, "Today is July and half. I suddenly fainted. It must have caused something unclean. Our family has been memorizing words recently. Maybe it's because of this."
Xu Laosan heard Xu Xinger talk about the situation when Ye's birth of chestnuts, so he had no good impression on the jumping god. Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, he said more uncomfortablely, "Mom, the recent events in our family were caused by the second brother. What does it have to do with Xing'er? And the doctor has already said that Xing'er just had heatstroke. On such a hot day today, she has been helping at the altar for a long time, so she fainted from heatstroke. Even if it really provoked something unclean, it would have been super-purified in the altar in the afternoon.
She glanced at the strangely dressed rural woman and continued, "Is it possible that the altar and mage of the public sacrifice are not as good as them?"
"You little son of a bitch." Mrs. Xu said angrily, "Isn't it also for Xing'er? There is no harm! You still don't appreciate my hard work. Why am I busy every day?
Xu Laosan didn't want to quarrel with her in front of outsiders. He stopped talking. He took Xu Xinger into the house and placed it properly on the kang. Then he came out and found that the yard had begun to jump.
"Mother..." Xu Laosan shouted helplessly.
Old Mrs. Xu made a silent gesture to him with a serious face and continued to stare at the two gods jumping and jumping in the yard.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Xu Laosan simply went back to the house and didn't care about the outside and toss around.
Ye entered the house to see Xu Xing'er and came out to comfort her softly, "I'd rather believe it or not. My mother did this for the good of Xing'er. Don't be angry with her."
"I'm not angry, I'm just..." Xu Laosan wanted to talk about the time when he gave birth to chestnuts, but he was afraid of recalling Ye's memories. Although Lizi was born safely, that experience was not really good for Ye's.
"Actually, you don't have to be so careful for fear that something makes me sad." But for the couple who have been together for more than ten years, Ye didn't know what he wanted to say. Instead, he laughed and said, "I am very grateful to God for giving birth to Lizi safely. Whether the jumping god has played a role or not, I am grateful."
"It's useless for me to let your mother suffer with me, and Xing'er is tired." Xu Laosan grabbed his hair and said, "Xing'er must have been so desperate recently because she wanted to collect the money to buy ginseng as soon as possible."
"Buy ginseng?" Ye was stunned, and then looked more and more dignified. She looked at Xu Laosan's eyes and asked, "Her father, tell me honestly, is there always ginseng in the medicine I drink every day?"
Xu Laosan said his mouth and didn't dare to raise his head and squat down. His guilty look made it clear at a glance without saying anything.
