Chapter 4 The Nine Wise Girls
Sun Qin placed the fruits on the edge of the well, lit three incense sticks on the incense burner, then knelt down in front of the well, kowtowed three times, and said with tears in his tears: "Sister, my father has no grudges and no grudges with you, so don't bother him anymore. He is old and if he is tortured by you like this, his body will not be able to bear it sooner or later. If you have anything you want, come and tell me, I will burn it for you, and I will guarantee that you will not be short of you. Just spare my father and get off him."
After saying that, she knelt by the well for a long time, burned the paper money, horses and paper clothes, and then slowly stood up and carried a basket to go home.
The villagers watching shook their heads:
"This girl is also a filial girl. Her father is sick and she doesn't even care about her husband's family. She stays there from morning to night. Her brother is far from her. She knows to go to the city to have a drink all day."
"The Wang family's wife is the same. She has a grudge and a debt. She will find anyone you should look for, and do whatever you attach to irrelevant people."
"Shh, please keep your word. She will find you tomorrow, and you will have something to eat."
Sun Qin squeezed through the crowd and walked towards his home in the south end of the village. As soon as he walked a few steps, someone chased her. "Qinzi Qinzi" called her. Sun Qin turned around and saw that the person who called him was Yuan Qing who had been playing since childhood. He hadn't seen him for a few months. He looked much more energetic than before, and his back was straight and his voice became louder, but he didn't look like the sick girl.
Yuan Qing walked a few steps to her, "Qinzi, I heard that my uncle is sick, was he possessed by a ghost?"
Sun Qin sighed and nodded slightly.
"Then why don't you find someone to show him?"
"I've looked for it, do you think I haven't? But the gentleman drove the Wang family's wife out for half a day. As soon as he left, she came back."
Yuan Qing slapped his palms, "You didn't find the right person. If you find my master, you can't come back again, and you can't even get it back."
Sun Qin is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and regardless of whether it is true or not, she first grabbed Yuan Qing and asked, "It's really so effective? If my father can be cured, I'm willing to pay the amount of money."
Yuan Qing waved his long arm, "My master doesn't love money, just to help others. Look at my body, it's been very different from before after just a few months. If you believe me, I will take you to find her now."
Sun Qin and Yuanqing walked around the mountains and forests for several bends before finding Sansu Temple. It was located on the steep and protruding lonely peak and confronted Lingyun Mountain across the river. The exterior walls and buildings inside were already very dilapidated and washed into gray, red or red by rain. It is said that this small temple had been built in the previous dynasty and has stood on this mountain for more than two hundred years.
"My master came here a few months ago, so there are not many people who know her. You don't have to be restrained when you see her later. Just tell Uncle Sun's truthfully." After walking for so long, Yuan Qing didn't even breathe when he spoke. Seeing his appearance, Sun Qin became more confident and followed his steps towards Sansuguan.
The two of them pushed open the gate of the yard and saw more than a dozen people sitting in the yard meditating. The weather was cold, but they didn't even have a cushion, and just sat on the ground in single clothes. Seeing Sun Qin's eyes with a look of surprise, Yuan Qing smiled and said, "I'm scared. If you see my master's skills in a while, won't you even be able to speak."
As soon as she said this, a person slowly walked out of the main hall. She was wearing a purple double-breasted robe, embroidered with patterns such as sun, moon, stars, auspicious beast pagoda, etc., wearing a lotus crown on her head, and wearing clouds and shoes. She was shrouded in fragrance and mist, like a god.
As if Yuan Qing said, Sun Qin stood in the yard blankly, unable to say a word. It was just that she was stunned because she saw the Taoist priest's ability, but because Yuan Qing spoke "master" and was actually a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She had fair skin, eyebrows and temples, and was very cute by her bright Taoist robe.
Seeing that the master came out, Yuan Qing quickly pulled Sun Qin, who was as stupid as a chicken, and he bowed his head and saluted, "Master, this is my childhood neighbor. Her father, Uncle Sun, was tortured and ended up ill. I hope his master can give me some advice." After that, he played Sun Qin again, "This is my master's nine wise daughters. If you have any questions, just beg her."
Sun Qin came to her senses from a trance. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the Taoist nun, known as the Nine Wise Girl, looking at her with a smile on her face. She was very kind, so she also let go of her heart that had been tense for a long time and told her about the family.
After listening to her narrative, the nine wise girls smiled slightly and looked at Sun Qin, their eyes full of premature wisdom. "As I expected, your father happened on the Gengshen day, right?"
Sun Qin counted with her fingers, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, you are right. My father had an accident on Gengshen day half a month ago. That day, he felt unwell early in the morning, and he was inactive without any effort. He couldn't sleep at night, so he took a bucket to the well to fetch water, and when he came back, he became completely different."
The Nine Sages stood up, "That's right, it seems that they are causing trouble again."
"They? Who are they?" Sun Qin and Yuan Qing asked at the same time.
The Nine-Savvy Girl ignored the two of them. She walked straight out of the door, but the voice floated back, "While it's still dawn, I'll go down the mountain to help you see that your old father is still saved."
Hearing this, Sun Qin and Yuanqing hurriedly followed. They came outside the yard, but there was no trace of the Nine Wise Girls. Sun Qin was about to ask, but Yuanqing seemed to know what she was going to ask, and pointed to the mountain diagonally below, "My master is walking on the water road, not with us."
Sun Qin was shocked and hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. She saw a winding stream in the steep forest. The Nine Sage Girls were slowly descending along the stream. The mountain wind blew her Taoist robe and the gorgeous clothes looked very dazzling in the dark gray mountains.

Today, when the Zhou family built a house, craftsmen and bricklayers came over early in the morning. Now the courtyard is in chaos, with arguments and noises floating out of the courtyard wall from time to time and rushing into Zhou Yingluo's ears.
However, Yingluo's left ear goes in and out of the right ear, because she is just seven years old now, and she is at the age of curiosity about everything. For example, now, she is attracted by a pile of soil in front of the door. She holds a bamboo pole in one hand and digs out some soil. Then she holds some water from the wooden barrel next to it to pour it on. After the water is sucked dry, she continues to dig the hole and water it again. This cycle is repeated and has a lot of fun.
"Ji... Ji Ji..." A few puppy crows came from behind. Yingluo turned her head and saw a white rice dumpling walking towards her. Her two black eyes rolled around for a few times, and her butt pressed back and sat on the ground.
