Chapter 391 Is It Really Okay?
Wang Xiaobing laughed and said, "Let me tell you this, she is 63 years old this year, and more than 40 years ago, she was just an ordinary rural girl in Northeast China.
The family was poor, and her father knew how to castrate pigs, which meant castrating boars.
Luo Jiu nodded, "I know, please continue."
Wang Xiaobing couldn't help laughing, "It was all a coincidence. Her father failed that year. He took a job with a large pig farmer and castrated more than a dozen pigs. But I don't know if the knife was infected with some virus or if there was something wrong with his craftsmanship, but he killed all the pigs.
When the family refused, he married Kong Daxian'er, the unmarried daughter, to the youngest son of the family. "
Luo Jiu frowned, "In that era, how could the son of a large pig farmer not be able to find a wife? Is there some defect?"
Wang Xiaobing said, "A little bit. The guy fell from a tree when he was a kid and his legs are a little lame. It doesn't affect anything, but he is lazy and doesn't want to work.
Kong Daxian had no objection to this marriage. She would have meat to eat every day after she got married.
Her parents-in-law were nice people and liked her very much. Although her husband was lazy and gluttonous, she didn't bother to worry about him because his parents were looking after him. She just treated him as if he were dead.
Less than four or five years later, swine fever broke out and all the pigs in the family died. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law fell ill one after another out of grief and died within a few months.
Luo Jiu sighed, "Disasters are always like this. They don't say hello before they come. But for her, the good days are a little short."
Wang Xiaobing said: "That's fine, she could barely support herself at the beginning. She plans to collect some money from home and buy some more pigs, and maybe she can make a comeback.
But don't forget that her man is a fool. He is not good at anything and he is never satisfied with what he eats.
There wasn't much money at home, and he stole some to gamble, ending up losing everything and being forced to work in the casino.
When Kong Daxianer saw that he didn't have enough money to open a pig farm, he became depressed and a little crazy, and always ran to the mountains.
The villagers said she had become a little crazy, but after a few days, she was fine again. Her face was rosy, and she found an ancient book from somewhere and told everyone that she had worshipped the immortals, entered the mysterious sect, and officially became a spirit medium.
Luo Jiu nodded. She had heard from her grandmother that in the past there was a saying called "going out to see the gods". It meant that one had received guidance from the gods and had the ability to see things for others.
Of course, the things you see are usually somewhat evil. For example, after a while of singing and dancing, some people claim to be possessed by gods, or claim to be able to talk to gods and see things that humans cannot see. Most of these people are liars.
Luo Jiu asked Wang Xiaobing, "Why is she showing off?"
"She looked at everything. No one believed her at first. Later, a child in the village fell ill and cried every day. They had no other options, so they took the child to her.
She got a bowl of water and stuck the chopsticks into it. Strangely enough, the chopsticks stood up in it.
She said that the child had run into an old man in the family who had passed away, so she asked the adults to burn some paper at the grave and chant some prayers. Then, at noon, they should knock on the door frame with a ladle and call the child's name to call back the soul. This should be done for three days in a row."
Luo Jiuqi asked: "Is it really healed?"
Wang Xiaobing smiled and said, "That's great. I don't know what happened. Anyway, since then, more and more people have come to her for treatment. People from nearby villages and even other provinces, if their parents or children have an incurable disease, they will send them to her.
Actually, she is not a doctor, so how can she treat any illness? I have seen her treat illnesses with only a few methods, either asking people to burn paper, or calling on the spirits of the dead, or if someone is suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea, she will say that there is blood stasis in the body. She uses a needle that is as thick and long as the one used to sew shoe soles.
Wang Xiaobing gestured and said, "Just like Aunt Rong, pricking people's fingers to let blood, and then opening their buttocks and stuffing garlic into their buttocks."
"Ah?" Luo Jiu was shocked. "Can it fit in?"
Wang Xiaobing explained helplessly: "Garlic cloves, peeled, not a whole head. Of course, these are all minor illnesses. If she encounters a really serious illness, she dare not admit it and directly sends people to the hospital."
He was silent for a few seconds, then continued, "Anyway, she became famous. At the end of the year she became famous, her husband was released by the casino. It snowed heavily on New Year's Eve, and the temperature outside was over 30 degrees below zero. On the morning of the first day of the new year, people went to pay her New Year's greetings and found that her husband had frozen to death at her doorstep."
Luo Jiu raised his eyes suddenly, and Wang Xiaobing smiled meaningfully, "The villagers said that he suffered retribution. He was just a few steps away from entering the house, but he froze to death at the door. It must be that the immortals did not forgive him and took his life away.
In fact, no one knows the inside story. There is no immortal family. It was the Immortal Kong who didn't open the door for him and deliberately let him freeze to death."
Luo Jiu looked at him suspiciously, "Then how do you know the inside story?"
Wang Xiaobing covered his mouth with his hands and said mysteriously, "There was an unlucky child who went to visit relatives in the Northeast. He had vomiting and diarrhea on New Year's Eve and was sent to her house with a butt full of garlic.
In the middle of the night, the child heard someone knocking on the door and asked her who it was. She said it was a ghost. Maybe it wasn’t a ghost at that time, but it froze to death at dawn.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Jiu, "Do you have any other questions?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "You are the unlucky kid, right?"
Wang Xiaobing rubbed the back of his neck helplessly, "How come you are so smart?"
He really didn't want to admit it, but Luo Jiu had already guessed it, so he had to take a deep breath and said, "These are all old things. After all the twists and turns, she is still my distant relative. She is older than me, so I have to call her my second aunt. I can't betray her, right?
What's more, when I vomited all over the floor, she not only didn't scold me, she even specially made me a bowl of finger-sized dumplings filled with pure meat. Why would I harm her?
After the apocalypse, I saw Angsha all over the world looking for talented people, so I thought about taking my second aunt along to earn some money for retirement, but I didn’t expect the apocalypse to end before I could get paid.”
Wang Xiaobing looked up at the pitiful slit in the sky with a look of despair on his face, "Alas, what a fate I have."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, stop sighing. It's too early to lament your miserable life now. Good days are ahead."
Luo Jiu chatted with him for a while and returned to the secret room. Grace and Cordelia had already fallen asleep. Only Kong Daxian was staring at the fire blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Jiu handed her a bottle of water, which was given to them by Angsa at that time, but they didn't drink it.
Kong Daxianer drank a big sip with satisfaction, and looked at Luo Jiu with a smile, "You look really kind, and you are destined to be blessed."
Luo Jiu chuckled, "Tell me the truth, are you really good at it or are you pretending?"
Kong Daxian'er's eyes wandered for a moment, and he was silent for a while, then he answered seriously: "Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's false. Sometimes I show it to people according to the book, and they can't tell. Sometimes I make up something and show it to people, and they say it's amazing. I can't even tell what's true and what's false."
Luo Jiu asked again: "Then how did you calculate the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?"
Kong Daxianer answered affirmatively: "I know this, it's not calculated. At that time, I just wanted to return to my country, return to my roots, and die in my country, so I made up this place casually.
Who knew that Angsa believed it so much, he said he had seen a movie called "2012", which also said that the end of mankind has come, and the last place to survive is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. "
Luo Jiu laughed so hard that he covered his face. Angsa actually believed in movies. He deserved to be deceived.
She chatted with Mrs. Kong for a while and yawned a few times. Mrs. Kong advised her, "Go to sleep. I will help you look after Angsa."
Luo Jiu shook his head. It was indeed too cruel to let a sixty-year-old woman keep watch at night.
She said, "I'm not worried about Angsa. It's impossible to rely on his men. He won't be so crazy as to lose his mind."
What Luo Jiu was worried about was other things, such as the dangers hidden in the darkness.
However, until two o'clock in the morning, there was still no movement outside, only the sound of snoring.
Feng Qi woke up from his sleep and it was Luo Jiu's turn to sleep.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Luo Jiu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a scream outside.
"ah!"
Luo Jiu suddenly opened his eyes.
