Chapter 126 Abnormal Brother
"Mom and Dad, my brother has become like this now. Have you ever asked other doctors to check on him? What did they say? No one sent me a message or anything. How come I don't know anything?"
Gu Leyou felt a little bit sorry for his brother who was now in a trance.
But it's more of guilt.
"Yes, of course. Your grandmother had a big fight with the old Shi family over this. Now our two families don't interfere with each other."
As for the old lady of the Gu family going to quarrel with people from Shijiazhuang, this matter started a few days before they returned.
Ever since his grandson held his. After the real grandson went to A Yue’s in-laws’ house and came back, he seemed like a different person.
At first, no one in the Gu family took it seriously, until one day when they called him, they realized that he was becoming mentally confused.
Even the children were terrified. They developed a high fever that night. When Old Mrs. Gu found out about it, she rushed to Lao Shi's house the next day.
I stood in front of their door and started shouting at the top of my voice.
Now the neighbors have come out to watch the fun.
The people from the Shi family hurried out to open the door, and then asked Old Mrs. Gu to go in and close the door.
"Sister-in-law, aren't our two families no longer related? Why are you here again? If you shout like that, won't the neighbors laugh at you?"
"Your family has done such a heartless thing, and you are not afraid. Why should I be afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors? I am already a half-buried person."
"Sister-in-law, stop spitting blood at us here. We have done something that is against the will of heaven and earth, and you are here to teach us a lesson. If you don't explain the reason today, you can't leave this yard today."
"Your family has done great harm to our grandson. He is now in a trance and will probably become a fool in the future. Are you saying it has nothing to do with you? Then who has it to do with? It was all caused by your girl. If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave."
Shi's parents were stunned for a moment before they reacted.
Shi Mu said, "Sister-in-law, your boy went to my daughter's in-laws' house, and we didn't go to you to settle the score, but you are blaming him. How can this be justified?"
Old Mrs. Gu immediately turned her back on him. After all, she only had this one precious grandson, and their daughter was not as valuable as her precious grandson.
"I don't care if you don't give me an explanation today. I will never leave. My grandson might go crazy, but your daughter is fine. What's the logic behind this?"
"Don't be so unreasonable, old lady. It was obviously your grandson who changed his mind first. If he had agreed to my proposal, why would my daughter marry a fool? We, his parents, don't even know what kind of life she is living now."
It is true that every man has his own reasons and every woman has her own reasons.
At this time, the village chief came over with a group of people.
Stand at the door and knock.
"Why would you close the door in broad daylight? Really."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shi's parents and Old Lady Gu were stunned. Shi's father hurried forward to open the door, and said with a wry smile, "Village chief, why are you here?" The village chief walked into the yard with a stern face and his hands behind his back, followed by several elders who usually had some prestige in the village, all of whom looked solemn.
The village chief glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Old Lady Gu. He said in a serious tone: "I heard you guys quarreling here when I was at the entrance of the village. What's going on? We are from the same village. Can't we talk about it calmly? Why do you have to shout at the top of your lungs and make a fool of our village for outsiders to see!"
When Mrs. Gu saw the village chief coming, she seemed to have found her backbone. Her eyes turned red. She took a few steps forward, grabbed the village chief's arm, and cried, "Village chief, you have to make a decision for our family! The girl from the Shi family has made my grandson look like this. He is now in a trance and may become a fool in the future.
We only have this one precious grandson in our family. What will we do in the future? ”
When Shi Mu heard this, she immediately became anxious and stepped forward to argue, "Village Chief, don't listen to her nonsense! It was obviously her family who regretted it first. They had agreed on a marriage, but they changed their minds at the last minute, making my daughter lose face and having to marry a fool. Now, they come to our house and make a scene. Isn't this bullying!"
The village chief frowned and waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two: "Stop arguing! Speak one by one, can such a quarrel solve the problem?" He turned his head, looked at Mrs. Gu, and asked: "You said that the girl from the Shi family harmed your grandson. What evidence do you have? You can't say anything without evidence."
Mrs. Gu was speechless for a moment, and stammered, "The evidence... the evidence is that my grandson became like this after returning from their house. Isn't that obvious enough? It must be their doing!"
"Sister-in-law, I have known about your two families' affairs for a long time. Yiqing and Erchu are obviously your grandsons who said they wanted to take the imperial examination and were unwilling to marry someone else's daughter. Now, the daughter has been harmed by your family and has married a man with intellectual disabilities. That man is from the village of your daughter-in-law's family. Most people in the village know about this."
"Village chief, by saying this you are simply trying to help these two old guys bully me, an old lady?" Old Mrs. Gu said in a domineering tone.
"I've also checked on your grandson's condition. It's clearly not the daughter's fault. It was your son who insisted on going to see her, and then he was too embarrassed to stay the next day, so he had to rush back early in the morning. As a result, he ran into something dirty and came back, and it was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit and turned into what he is now. But you said it was their family's fault, and you refused to take the child to see a doctor. No matter how powerful the little doctor is, he can't tell that he's been possessed by an evil spirit."
"Village chief, is there any basis for what you said? I think my grandson was harmed by their daughter. It has nothing to do with being possessed by evil spirits. Can being possessed by evil spirits really cause mental disorder? My grandson has stopped talking about passing the imperial examination, so I guess his life is ruined."
The village chief still planned to persuade him.
After all, they are all neighbors living in the same village. If they fall out because of the children of the two families, it will be bad for the whole village.
After thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Gu felt that perhaps what the village chief said made sense. Could it be that her only grandson was really possessed by an evil spirit? It seems that he has to go to Gu Laoer's house to find out. What is going on? Why would a good child want to mess with the daughter of his mortal enemy?
So when Gu Leyou learned the causes and consequences of these things, he felt that what the village chief said made sense.
The couple advised their parents, "Why don't we find a respected Taoist priest to come and see if my brother is possessed by an evil spirit? If he is, we should get rid of it as soon as possible so that my brother can return to normal. If not, we can ask a little doctor to take another look."
Gu Laoer and his wife felt that what their daughter and son-in-law said made sense, and it seemed that this was the only way. After all, they only had this one son, and they couldn't afford to let him down. The old Gu family was still counting on this son to continue the family line, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
Gu Laoer and his wife quickly took action and asked around to find out where there were any respected Taoist priests.
When the elders in the village heard about this, they all offered suggestions and provided many clues.
Finally, with the introduction of a relative from another village, they learned that there was a Taoist temple on a mountain dozens of miles away from the village. In the temple, there lived a Taoist priest named Yuan Zhen who had just returned from his travels. It was said that he had great magical powers and was very capable of exorcising demons, driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters.
Gu Laoer and his wife were extremely anxious and set out before dawn. They climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, and after many hardships, they finally found the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is simple and quiet, with smoke curling up into the air. Taoist Master Xuanzhen, dressed in Taoist robes and looking like an immortal, is meditating in the courtyard.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and told the Taoist priest everything about what had happened to their son. With sincere words and tears in their voices, they begged him to help.
After hearing this, Taoist Master Yuan Zhen slightly opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "This is the work of bad karma. Since there is cause and effect, there is a way to resolve it. You go back first, I will be there soon."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu thanked them profusely and hurried back home.
After Gu Laoer returned home, the villagers also learned about the situation and came to check it out.
Not long after, Taoist Yuan Zhen arrived at the Gu family.
He walked around Gu Leshu several times, looking him up and down carefully.
"It turns out that he is possessed by evil spirits."
Taoist Yuan Zhen said in a deep voice, "When your child went out, he passed by a small hill with dirt on it before returning. So he is possessed by some evil spirit with deep resentment. We must eradicate him. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. It may even affect the villagers of the entire village, and the village will not be at peace."
After hearing this, the Gu family members turned pale with fright, and Old Mrs. Gu collapsed to the ground on the spot, bursting into tears.
This is no wonder. The child of my second granddaughter suddenly had a high fever and couldn't get up. It was said that the two of them went out together. It seems that both my grandson and the child have problems.
But the child was young and his illness was relatively mild, so it was easy to cure. But my grandson was not so lucky.
Fortunately, the child was safe in the end, otherwise they would have been guilty of a great crime.
Taoist Yuan Zhen comforted them, "Don't panic, everyone. Now that I'm here, I will do my best. But this exorcism is extremely dangerous, and requires your full cooperation."
After saying this, Taoist Yuanzhen asked the Gu family to prepare incense, candles, paper money, peach wood swords, cinnabar and other items, and set up an altar in the yard.
A group of people were watching at the gate of the courtyard. Taoist Master Yuan Zhen was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a peach wood sword, muttering something, and dancing around the altar.
As he moved, the incense and candles on the altar flickered and paper money fluttered into the air.
Suddenly, Taoist Yuanzhen shouted loudly and stabbed the peach wood sword fiercely into the air. A ray of Buddha's light flashed through it, as if something was hit.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Leshu let out a scream, foamed at the mouth, and his body began to twitch continuously.
Seeing this, the Gu family was extremely anxious, but they did not dare to step forward.
Taoist Yuan Zhen was not moved at all. He continued to chant spells and cast magic. The peach wood sword in his hand flew up and down, and he started a fierce fight with the evil spirit.
After a hard fight, the evil spirit finally lost its strength, let out a shrill cry, and disappeared into a wisp of black smoke.
Gu Leyou's brother also stopped twitching and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes regained clarity and a hint of color returned to his face.
The Gu family was overjoyed and rushed forward to hug their brother, crying with joy.
Taoist Yuan Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Gu family, "I have driven away the evil spirit, but the child is still very weak and needs to be taken care of.
In addition, you should do more good deeds and accumulate merits to resolve the bad karma in your family. ”
The Gu family nodded repeatedly and burst into tears of gratitude towards Taoist Master Xuanzhen. They took out their family savings to thank the Taoist priest, but Taoist Xuanzhen refused to take a penny. He only left a sentence "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil", and then walked away with a faint smile on his lips.
Although Gu Leyou was a little skeptical about this approach.
But she knew that her brother's illness had been cured, so she had to believe that the Taoist priest had some special skills.
Taoist Yuan Zhen's words that evil will be punished and good will be rewarded were kept in mind by the Gu family. They knew that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.
It seems that Matsuko's previous actions must not have been forgiven by God, which is why she was possessed by evil spirits.
Only by resolving this matter perfectly can my grandson live in peace in the future.
Mrs. Gu thought so in her heart, so she spoke in a deep voice.
"The second family, hurry up and find the Shi family's parents. After all, we are the ones who let them down. Only by sincerely asking for their forgiveness can your child be safe."
Although Gu Laoer resented what his mother had done before, he still had to listen to her when it came to matters concerning his child's life, so he immediately went to find Shi's parents.
When enemies meet on a narrow road, they reunite in this yard.
Old Mrs. Gu quickly helped her grandson up and knelt down in front of the old couple.
Old Mrs. Gu said to her grandson, "You are sorry for your submissiveness and lack of strong will, which has caused their daughter to live a miserable life. God can't stand it anymore, so he sent a disaster to you. Only if you sincerely apologize to this family and their daughter, will all this be better resolved and our village will be safe. Otherwise, if the news of your possession gets out, grandson, let alone you, I guess none of us in the Gu family will be able to stay in Gujia Village."
Gu Leshu understood and immediately kowtowed to the two old couples, then said sincerely: "Uncle and aunt are all wrong. I should not let Sister Yue down. If I hadn't let her down, everything would not have developed like this. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Shi's parents were originally very angry, but seeing their family apologize so sincerely, they had no choice but to forgive them.
