Chapter 259: Have our ancestors never prayed to the gods?
"Is the family god comforting Yu Heng?"
"no."
Tu Huan saw a sign with a few large characters in front of her, which was exactly what she was looking for. She thought of something, turned off the instant voice call function, and walked over there. On the way, she peeled a piece of chocolate candy. When she arrived at the stall, she asked directly, "Boss, how can I buy this emergency outdoor insulation blanket?"
The boss was cracking some sunflower seeds when he saw the customer coming. He hurriedly and warmly greeted him, "One of these." He gestured, "Boss, how much do you want?"
"By mail?"
"Free shipping for large quantities."
Tu Huan looked around and asked curiously, "Do you have any fireproof cloth?"
"Yes! I have everything for outdoor and emergency use." The boss turned around and handed her a list, pointing to the items on it. "It's all here. Boss, just choose from here. If you want to see any samples, I'll get them for you."
Xie Yuchuan has a knot in his heart, but Tu Huan can't help him solve it now.
The system is locked.
The best way is to help the Xie family reach Laozhou safely as soon as possible, complete the main task, and then think about other things.
What made Tu Huan happy was that although Xie Yuchuan had some emotional problems, his overall mental condition was very good.
This is very reassuring.
It has to be said that the Xie family does have a unique way of educating their descendants.
The night wind was cool, but Xie Yuchuan seemed not to feel it.
The question he asked tonight was really presumptuous. He thought the family god would be unhappy, but the family god was unexpectedly accommodating. The family god did not speak for a long time, and he thought he had offended the god's taboo.
During that time, Xie Yuchuan felt a very subtle uneasiness deep in his heart, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether it was because he was too nervous or because he was too afraid of losing.
With his eyebrows tense, Xie Yuchuan couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that his son Xie Yuheng would also have a day when he would be so "afraid".
The household god did not give him the answer he really wanted. Xie Yuchuan guessed that perhaps, as Zhang Dayi often said, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed.
But being careful, he still got some information from the few words of the household god.
Before the family god was summoned in the imperial prison, he knew nothing about the Xie family's affairs.
Xie Yuchuan frowned slightly when he thought of this.
"Xie Yuchuan: Could it be that in the past hundred years, the Xie family's ancestors have never performed a ceremony to summon the gods?"
After discussing the purchase intention of several items with the boss, Tu Huan opened her mobile phone and saw this message from Xie Yuchuan. She was stunned for a moment.
I thought to myself, you’d have to ask your Xie family ancestors about this.
What Tu Huan didn't know was that Xie Yuchuan on the other side really had his own thoughts and actions. He went directly to another thatched cottage to pay a visit to his grandmother, Old Madam Xie.
Old Madam Xie had just finished her meal and was sitting talking with her daughters-in-law, Zhou and Zhang.
They were just chatting about picking up some things on the road that they could save for emergencies when they saw their grandson Xie Yuchuan bending down and coming in from the doorway, asking.
"You've come just in time. Your mother and I were just talking about having your second sister call you over to ask you something. And you've arrived just in time. Come sit here with Grandma."
Old Madam Xie asked Xie Yuchuan to sit down beside her.
His mother, Zhou, looked at her son from across from him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. I'll go back and eat later." Xie Yuchuan told the truth.
He had been talking to the household god outside and had forgotten to eat. He went into the hut and sat down. Only when he relaxed did he feel a little hungry.
A pancake with meat sauce and pickled mustard was handed to him.
Xie Yuchuan glanced at it, then looked up at his second sister Xie Zhen: "Second sister, keep these for yourself."
"You all left these for us women. We have enough. Just try it. The things given by the family god are delicious." Xie Zhen smiled and was in particularly good spirits.
In the past few days, with Xie Yuchuan's words in mind, the Xie family has been eating well in private, just to increase their physical strength. Whether the men are discussing how to meet the enemy, the women are also privately studying ways to support each other.
The women of military families were not all secluded in their homes, powerless to protect themselves. When Mrs. Xie was young, she was also able to take up arms and kill the enemy. However, after the country was stabilized, the Xie family was honored, and their numerous military exploits created the prestige of the Duke of Protectorate. After a long period of peace in the world, the Xie family no longer restricted their men and married them into families of other military families.
At this time, the Xie family only cared about the wishes of the young men in the mansion.
There was nothing new during the exile. During the breaks, Old Lady Xie would casually tell the female family members about her life in the frontier with the old Duke. If it weren't for the exile, many of these things might never have been heard from Old Lady Xie in their lifetime.
In the past, the government house was spacious and had strict rules, but now that they have encountered difficulties, the family feels closer and more connected than before.
Before Xie Yuchuan came in, they were listening to Old Madam Xie talking about how the old Duke suppressed bandits when he was young. The evil of banditry was so severe that the people around him suffered the most.
Old Lady Xie believed that although Xie Yuchuan's move was risky, it was still a good thing to eliminate harm for the people.
The Xie family is blessed by the gods. Old Madam Xie believes from the bottom of her heart that the family gods will not be angry for her grandson Xie Yuchuan doing this.
What’s more, the family god agreed.
Mrs. Xie felt at ease and happy.
As for the Xie family, what does it matter even if they are exiled?
Old Madam Xie clapped her hands in agreement with this matter.
Just then, Xie Yuchuan came over.
She also wanted to ask him if Han Qiguang had made any progress in his investigation.
"There's no rush to talk. Eat something first. Don't go hungry." Old Madam Xie looked at her grandson lovingly.
Xie Yuchuan didn't say much. He took the pancake that Xie Zhen had added some spices to and took a big bite.
A mouthful of mellow fragrance lingers between the teeth.
He couldn't help but look at his second sister Xie Zhen with wide eyes.
Xie Zhen raised his eyebrows proudly: "How is it? Is it more fragrant when the two sauces given by the family god are mixed together?"
Xie Yuchuan nodded.
Xie Zhen was very happy.
Seeing her happy, Xie Yuchuan felt warm in his heart, "Second sister, you have always been so smart. You can live like this even in exile."
Xie Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, urging him: "Eat quickly, and we'll talk after you finish eating."
How big could a pancake be? Xie Yuchuan finished it in just a few bites.
There is meat, salt and vegetables.
I feel warm after eating it.
Seeing that he looked relaxed, Mrs. Xie asked, "You came here so suddenly, but do you have anything to tell me?"
"No." Xie Yuchuan shook his head.
He wanted to ask about something else.
Madam Xie was slightly surprised: "What is that?"
Xie Yuchuan half turned around and faced his grandmother. After a moment's hesitation, he asked seriously, "Grandma, I have something I don't understand. I'd like to ask you for your advice."
"Oh, that's it." Mrs. Xie felt relieved. "What's the matter?"
Xie Yuchuan expressed the doubts in his mind when he came here.
"Grandmother, do you know whether the Xie family's ancestors have always performed rituals of offering sacrifices to the family gods, or whether they have ever performed rituals of inviting gods?"
This one sentence stumped Mrs. Xie.
"You mean... asking the household gods for help like you did?" Mrs. Xie asked uncertainly.
Xie Yuchuan nodded heavily, his eyes deep.
"Has the Xie family never asked the family gods to appear in the past hundred years?"
