The boy withdrew his hand that was about to throw the shoe.
"So what should I do?"
He frowned, truly tormented by the pain and unable to bear it any longer.
"Just return it the way you got it. It was you who took other people's things, why are you feeling wronged now?" Su Xuanxuan looked at him and said seriously.
The boy seemed to be enlightened and became pitiful.
"I don't know what it's used for. I just thought it looked nice, and since I found it by the river, I thought it was naturally shaped like this."
The boy is still young and there are some things he doesn't quite understand, so it's not his fault.
[How dare you take this little shoe home? You're so brave!]
[Our child also likes to pick up some strange and bizarre things and bring them home, but most of those things are junk that others don’t want!]
[Yes, yes, our dog also likes to bring back things from outside. I don’t even know where he found some of these things.]
[A reminder, a reminder not to pick up random things outside, otherwise it will easily violate taboos.]
"These little shoes are usually given to them by the parents of children who drowned in the river. The little shoe you found is also one of them. It looks quite old, but the taboos are still there."
When the boy heard the host say this, he quickly put the little shoes on the table and didn't dare to touch them.
I was playing with it for a long time before, and now when I think about it, my hair stands on end.
If he knew this was something for the dead, he wouldn't dare to do it.
"I really don't know if there's any way I can get back at you. It's so painful to be bullied!"
The boy looked at the culprit who caused his foot pain and felt very uncomfortable.
"The solution is quite simple. Ask your parents to go out with you and buy some paper money and incense sticks. Then go to the spot where you found the little shoe. Put the shoe back into the river, burn some paper money, and pay your respects."
Su Xuanxuan told him this method, which was simple to do, but whether he was willing to believe it or not was up to him.
"Okay, okay, right now!"
The boy immediately put the little shoe into his pocket, ran to his parents' bedroom door and knocked on it.
"You're knocking on the door so hard at this hour of night. Do you want to get beaten?"
"What's going on with you? If you don't explain it to me today, I'll never let you go!"
The boy said to his parents anxiously: "Mom and Dad, I found the reason why my feet hurt."
The couple's expressions changed. "What's the reason? We've already checked. It might just be your psychology."
"No! It's this thing!"
The boy took out the little shoe from his pocket.
When the couple saw the little shoe, their expressions changed again.
"You damn kid, why do you pick up everything and bring it home? Where did you pick up this little shoe?"
Both of them grew up listening to these stories and have some understanding of them.
"You know... I was going to tell you, this is what's causing my feet to hurt."
The boy lowered his head guiltily. He never dared to pick up things outside again.
"How did you know that?"
The couple looked their son up and down.
"I connected with a metaphysical anchor, and she told me that. She also said that if I want my feet to stop hurting, I should prepare some incense, candles, and paper money and return them to the place where I picked up the little shoe."
He confessed everything at once, not daring to hide anything.
The couple knew the method, put on their coats, took their keys and hurried out, dragging their stupid son with them.
The family hurried to a hidden store.
Knocked on the door gently.
"Who is it? So late at night?"
The incense shop owner spoke with a lazy voice and slowly opened the rolling door.
"Hello boss, sorry to bother you so late, we would like to buy some incense, candles and paper money."
The owner of the incense shop also knew a little about Feng Shui, and subconsciously asked them why. It was really strange that they came to buy incense, candles and paper money so late at night.
"It's so late, and you're here to buy incense, candles, and paper money. What's the matter?"
The couple glared at their son who was walking at the end.
"It's our brat who dares to bring anything home. He even picked up a small shoe by the river and brought it home. My foot has been hurting for two or three months, and today I finally found the cause. Why don't I buy some incense, candles, and paper money to return the thing."
They felt that there was nothing to hide and their son's health was the most important priority.
"Is that so? Okay, okay, I'll prepare it for you right away."
Seeing that the couple knew the reason and the solution, the incense shop owner did not want to intervene. He turned around and went in to prepare some paper money, incense and candles.
I carried it in a black plastic bag and gave them some instructions when I handed it to them.
"Be sincere, it's no big deal."
He looked at the boy hiding behind with a smile.
Young people really have no taboos.
"Okay, okay, sorry to bother you. Go to bed early..."
It’s really embarrassing to ask people to get up and do business so late.
But they couldn't get through the night with this matter. The sooner it was resolved, the less pain their son would suffer.
The three of them came to the river where they played last time, and walked to the shore with flashlights, taking one step forward and one step back.
The boy's father lit the incense and candles and inserted them on the shore, then slowly lit the paper money, burning it bit by bit.
"My son was ignorant and disturbed you all. I have come to return the item. I hope you will be magnanimous and let him go. He really didn't know the purpose of the item and didn't mean to offend. These incense sticks are his apology."
The boy's father muttered to himself with a very sincere attitude.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you return your things?"
The boy's father urged him on, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The boy nodded quickly, carefully took out the small shoe from the bag again, squatted by the river, and carefully put the shoe into the water.
"You are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with me. My feet hurt. I've known how serious it is these past two or three months. I'll return the things to you and burn some paper money for you. Please let me go."
He also muttered softly, and with the help of the lights on the shore and the light of the burning fire, he vaguely saw a few bubbles appearing where he had placed his shoes just now, as if in some kind of response.
He retreated back to his parents, squatted down, and burned the remaining paper money together.
When he left, he bowed several times to express his apologies.
It’s strange to say, my feet, which used to hurt from time to time, didn’t hurt at all after walking such a long distance.
All of a sudden, the whole family felt even more awed by this mysterious thing.
The live broadcast was interrupted as soon as the boy went out to buy paper money.
Su Xuanxuan also knew that they would definitely do it.
So the third person was connected.
