002 Dropped the Tablet
Arrive at the old lady's house.
The old lady took a bright red cheongsam and asked my mother to put it on for me. The cheongsam seemed to have been tailor-made for me, with just the right length and thickness.
After putting it on, the old lady asked my mother to help me step over the brazier. The fire burned the air around my body and made a crackling sound. The flames climbed up along my body, like countless invisible threads.
Around my body, these fires burned away the invisible threads.
After stepping over the brazier, although my body was still weak, my mind was much clearer.
Seeing that I could leave on my own, the old lady asked my mother to go out. She then led me into the main room of the small courtyard. The room was very empty, with only an offering table in front and a memorial tablet placed on it.
.
The old lady asked me to kneel down, and then she knelt down next to me, kowtowing to the tablet and chanting, "Ancestor, there is a little Xiangxiu here who is entangled by a vicious creature, and you need your own help to suppress it. Old lady.
Ancestor, please help me, and my disciples will provide you with red beams and thin water, ebony poles, red flower bowls, and little phoenix..."
Later, the old lady started singing directly, with a weird tone. She stood up and shook her head while singing, just like the goddess played on TV. To be honest, it was a bit scary when I saw her for the first time.
She took the tablet down from the altar table with both hands, held the tablet and turned it around me, forward and backward, and finally stuffed the tablet into my arms.
When the tablet was handed to me, the old lady was very close to me, and her wrinkled face was close to mine.
I was so frightened that when I was about to scream, the old lady suddenly raised her hands, and a pair of thin but very powerful hands put them on my shoulders, pressing me down and not allowing me to move.
The old lady stared into my eyes and said to me in a high-pitched voice, "Hold the ancestor's tablet tightly. No matter what happens, don't let go. Don't drop the ancestor's tablet to the ground. This is the only way you can survive."
opportunity, remember?"
I was completely frightened and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that I agreed, the old lady let go of me and let my mother in.
When I saw my mother, I couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
The old lady asked my mother to take me to the inner room to rest, and I would stay at her house all day and not leave until twelve o'clock tonight.
I carried the memorial tablet and went to the back room with my mother.
My mother woke me up in the middle of the night last night. I didn't sleep all night. I had a fever and felt weak all over. I lay down on the kang in the back room and fell asleep not long after.
When I was drowsily asleep, I suddenly felt difficulty breathing, as if something was pressing on me.
I couldn't breathe and opened my eyes.
This look almost scared me to death!
There's a big black snake as big as a bucket weighing on my body!
To be precise, the big black snake didn't press on me, but wrapped around me! It wrapped around my legs and now it has wrapped around my chest.
The snake's body wrapped around me vigorously, its head was raised, its scarlet vertical pupils flashed coldly, and a scarlet letter came out of its mouth.
"Tangning, I finally found you! It's been twelve years, and it's time for you to die and come to stay with me!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the black snake opened its huge mouth, revealing its white fangs and bit me down.
He...he's going to eat me alive!
I was scared to death, and while screaming, I instinctively raised my hands to resist. When I raised my hands, I realized that I was still holding a tablet in my hands!
Thinking of the old lady saying that the ancestors living in this memorial tablet would protect me, I felt like I had grasped at a life-saving straw and immediately shouted, "Please help me, ancestors!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a bang.
The black snake wrapped around my body was instantly blown away by a strong force.
Then, a plume of thick smoke rose from the room, and white mist filled the air, blocking people's sight. I was in the thick fog and couldn't see what was going on in the room. I could only hear banging and banging and furniture and objects falling to the ground.
sound.
Is this the ancestor fighting with the black snake?
Ancestor, you must work hard!
While I was cheering my ancestors up in my heart, I secretly moved towards the door, planning to escape.
The two people fighting seemed to know what I was thinking. As soon as I moved to the edge of the kang, I heard a cold and stern voice coming from the thick fog.
"Tangning, are you planning to run away?!"
I shivered violently with fright.
I was originally on the edge of the kang and was about to go down into the pit. When I was startled, my body suddenly lost my balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Pain came over me, and the most painful thing was my right hand, as if something was stuck in it.
I opened my eyes and looked down, and something was really stuck in it!
The tablet fell to the ground and was cracked. I pressed my right hand on the tablet, and the wooden thorns from the tablet broke out and pierced my palm. Blood flowed out from the wound and fell on the tablet drop by drop.
The strange thing is that the carved wooden tablet seems to suck blood, and the blood dripping on it seeps into the tablet instantly!
"You kid, why are you so dishonest when you sleep? You even fall to the ground!" My mother came in and helped me.
When I saw my mother, I suddenly realized that Bai Wu, Black Snake and the ancestors were all gone. Things were neatly arranged in the hut, and there were no signs of fighting at all.
It turns out I was just dreaming!
At this time, the old lady followed my mother into the house. When she saw the tablet that fell on the ground and my hands full of blood, the old lady's expression froze. She quickly picked up the tablet from the ground, and then faced my mother and
I cursed angrily, "Hurry
Get out of here! I don’t care about your family’s affairs! There are wrongdoers and debtors, and it’s your family that deserves to be harassed! Your ancestors have debts, and this generation has to pay them back! Get out of here, your family is already in trouble.
Master, please don’t trouble me anymore!”
While scolding, the old lady chased me and my mother out.
I was willing to help before, but suddenly my attitude became so bad. Is this change because I dropped the tablet? I wanted to apologize, but the old lady didn't give me a chance to speak.
It was getting dark, and my grandfather was sitting in the courtyard smoking. When he saw my mother and I being kicked out by the old lady, my grandfather hurried up and asked what was wrong?
The old lady didn't say anything. She scolded my grandfather together, and the scolding was so unpleasant that she almost cursed my whole family to death.
My mother was anxious but couldn't get a word in. As soon as her legs went weak, she knelt down in front of the old lady and cried and begged, "Grandma Long, it's her fault that my daughter broke the tablet. You can beat her or scold her. I just ask you not to ignore it."
It’s my family’s business.”
"If you continue to interfere with your family's affairs, I will be in trouble!" the old lady scolded, "I have already solved your family's disaster this year. Master Ma took his life and saved your family for twelve years.
Taiping. Old lady, I don’t want to die, so I can only protect your family for six years.
Zai. When your daughter turns 18, there will be a great calamity, and you will have to live or die by then. Also, for the sake of my keeping your family safe for six years, don’t come to me again about your family’s affairs in the future.
The thing my daughter is carrying on her back is something that an old woman cannot afford to mess with."
When it came to this matter, my mother knew she couldn't beg any more, so she cried and kowtowed to the old lady a few times, but said nothing else.
My grandfather stuffed the old lady a big red envelope and took my mother and me home.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard my grandma crying from home. Before the tricycle stopped, my grandpa jumped out of the car and ran back home in large strides.
As my mother got out of the car, she asked the villagers gathered around the gate of my house to watch what was going on.
The villagers said, "It's Tang Jun who is back."
My dad is back, but he didn't walk back by himself, but was carried back.
He died in the Feng Shui Master's house. His stomach was opened and his internal organs were pulled out! It was exactly the same way as the black snake died twelve years ago!
My father's death reminded the villagers of the strangeness when I was born, and rumors spread again that I would kill the whole family.
I don’t know if she really believed the rumors or if my father’s death was a huge blow to her. A year later, my mother ran away from home and took away all the money in the family. The thirteen-year-old me and my grandparents were left behind.
Depend on each other for life.
