Chapter 131
When Su Miao was born, Su Yuan was about to find another Taoist priest to help him calculate his name, but Liu Xu scolded him, saying that he had a feudal and ignorant mind and didn't understand any scientific civilization.
So when he made the suggestion this time, he was very cautious, fearing that his daughter, who had read a lot of books, would think he was superstitious.
Unexpectedly, the frightened Su Miao agreed immediately: "Dad! Go and invite them! Bring more gifts!"
The longer the problem of the talisman paper was not resolved, the more uneasy the father and daughter would feel. So the next day they prepared generous gifts and went to Wujia Village to find Mr. Wu Sanye.
Wujia Village is closer to the mountain than Sujia Village, and the road conditions are worse. Su Yuan was about to ask Su Miao to wait at home while he went to invite Mr. Wu San, but Su Miao was unwilling and insisted on going with him.
After riding the tricycle for an hour and a half, I finally arrived at the entrance of a small village. To enter the village, I had to go through a weed-covered path, and there were no signposts at the entrance.
If Su Yuanzheng hadn't had a former colleague who worked here and helped him move things here, it would have been difficult for him to find the right way.
"Who are you?"
As the tricycle passed the path, it was stopped when it saw a house in front.
The person who came was a young man, and he looked like a villager.
"Hello, comrade. I used to work with Wu Dawang, and today we're here to pay New Year's greetings."
The young man looked at them for a few times, and when he saw Su Miao and the various gifts in the truck bed, he asked cautiously, "Which factory are you from?"
"It's a watch factory. They used to have the same production line as Awang."
The young man thought what he said was right, so he pointed in a direction and said, "It's that yard over there. Don't go the wrong way."
"Okay, thank you, comrade."
Wu Dawang was surprised to see Su Yuanzheng coming to his house with gifts on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and hurriedly invited them to sit inside.
His wife went back to her parents' home today. Because his wife's family did not agree to their marriage, they did not allow him to go to pay New Year's greetings. He is the only one at home today.
"Brother Yuan, long time no see. I heard from Hu Zi that you moved to the provincial capital. Are you coming back for the New Year?"
"Yes, I came back for the New Year, and I ran into trouble on New Year's Day. I have to rely on your help!"
Su Yuanzheng used to have a good relationship with Wu Dawang. Today he wanted to ask him to introduce him to Mr. Wu Sanye, so he decided to be straightforward and let him know the urgency of the matter.
After listening to Su Yuanzheng's explanation, Wu Dawang frowned and said, "I remember a lot of things happened in your yard. I heard that you moved to the provincial capital and thought you were no longer living there. I didn't expect you to buy it. This is really troublesome. Brother Yuan, I'll take you to see Master Wu San!"
After saying that, he immediately took Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao to a courtyard close to the foot of the mountain.
Outside the courtyard gate, there were some children squatting on the ground petting a cat, a pure black cat with heterochromia.
"Xiao Sen, is your grandpa at home?"
The child stood up holding the black cat and said, "Yes."
As soon as the black cat saw Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao, it immediately jumped to the ground and ran into the yard. A few seconds later, an old voice sounded: "Who is outside? Come in quickly."
Xiao Sen led them into the yard. Su Yuanzheng and Wu Dawang were carrying hands full of gifts, and Su Miao followed behind.
It was a very strange yard, with no vegetables or poultry, no flowers or trees, and it looked dead.
In the corridor of the main house, a skinny old man was rocking on a recliner. Wu Dawang was the first to speak: "San Gong, this is my co-worker at the watch factory. He usually takes good care of me. His family..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Sangong raised his hand to stop him. Wu Sangong was shocked and pointed at Su Miao, who was standing at the back, and said, "You! Why are you here?!"
Everyone was stunned by his reaction. Wu Dawang quickly said, "San Gong, this is my co-worker's daughter. They dug up something dirty at home."
Mr. Wu San restrained his expression, waved his hand towards the living room, and said one word: "Let's go!"
A tall man walked out of the house. His features looked very similar to Mr. Wu Sanye. He went straight to the backyard and pushed out a tricycle with a thick quilt on it.
Then he walked up to Mr. Wu San, squatted with his back to him, easily carried Mr. Wu San onto the tricycle, and then looked at Su Miao and the others quietly.
Su Miao reacted and asked his father to put the items under the corridor, and went out on his bike to lead the way.
She hurriedly got on her father's tricycle, not noticing that Uncle Wu was very pleased with her intelligence and nodded slightly.
Wu Dawang also followed Su Yuanzheng in the car. He was the introducer, so he had to be there. On the way, he whispered to Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao:
"The one riding the bike behind is Mr. Wu's grandson. He hasn't been able to speak since he was a child. Xiao Sen is his great-grandson. These two are Mr. Wu's only remaining descendants. Don't ask any more questions. Just answer whatever Mr. Wu asks. Don't talk about money. Mr. Wu will tell you."
The father and daughter nodded obediently and took note of his instructions.
Su Miao glanced at the tricycle following behind her. She had heard before that people who truly possessed the power of Taoism would damage the meridians of their descendants. She wondered if this was the reason why Mr. Wu Sanye noticed something was wrong with her from his reaction just now.
Although Uncle Wu's performance was very obvious, Su Miao still had some doubts in her heart. After all, there were many charlatans who were not proficient in Taoism but were very good at judging people. They often relied on pretending to be gods to deceive people. Everything would depend on how Uncle Wu performed after he came to her house.
When Mr. Wu San arrived at the Su family's gate, he looked up at the sky above the yard and muttered, "What a shame!"
Su Yuan was unlocking the door when Mr. Wu San walked straight into the backyard without his guidance. He looked so familiar as if he was being guided by something.
The wooden box that Su Yuanzheng had dug out yesterday was now stuck in the crack of a tree. Uncle Wu opened it and sighed, "What a sin!"
Su Yuanzheng stepped forward and said, "Third Master, this was dug out yesterday. Is there...any problem?"
"Hmph, isn't that obvious? Let me ask you, does the original owner of this family have no descendants?"
The original owner, was it that landlord? Su Yuanzheng thought hard for a while and said, "It seems that there is no one. This is the landlord's son. He died at that time."
"Ah! That's a difficult situation! He's using the luck of his own descendants to take revenge on everyone living in this courtyard. The longer they live, the deeper the harm. You said he has no descendants, so his ultimate revenge is to make your family extinct as well!"
No more descendants? Su Yuan looked at Su Miao in panic, so this talisman was going to hurt Miaomiao?
He anxiously said to Master Wu, "Master Wu! Is there any way to solve this problem? I only have this one daughter, and she is very well behaved. Please save her."
Uncle Wu turned his head and stared into Su Miao's eyes, asking, "Sister! Do you believe what Grandpa said or not?"
If it were in the previous life, Su Miao, as a materialistic college student who had received higher education, would definitely scoff at this set of feudal superstitions.
But now that she has experienced rebirth, she remembers what Old Wang said, and thinks about the fact that both she and her father died an unnatural death in their previous life. Doesn’t this just confirm the fact that they will have no descendants?
So she nodded slowly.
