Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11388

The old man with blurry eyes tried hard to search and finally locked down Yang Ruoqing's location.

"Fuck, I, Wang Dachui, pay my respects to the general's wife. May the general's wife be blessed!"

The trembling old man was about to kneel down to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing quickly raised her hand and asked Ping'an to go over and support him. She couldn't bear to hear an old man of such an old age kneeling before her, as it would bring bad luck. Besides, Yang Ruoqing hated kneeling to others, especially to herself.

"Father-in-law, you are the elder, I am the younger, and you are the expert invited by Wang Baochang to deal with Tai Sui, so those empty formalities are unnecessary."

The old man nodded repeatedly and then stood up tremblingly.

"Father-in-law, how do you think we should deal with this Tai Sui?" Yang Ruoqing asked straight to the point.

The old man's beard was shaking and his fingers were trembling, as if he was calculating something.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, he said, "Please be patient, my dear, and let me pinch you first."

"Okay, take your time, we're not in a hurry." Yang Ruoqing retreated behind the mound. At this time, Feng Qiang's housekeeper brought a stool for Yang Ruoqing to sit on.

Yang Ruoqing waved her hand and ordered him to send the stool to her father-in-law, letting the old man sit down and calculate. Standing on the pile of earth, his legs and feet were shaking, and his fingers were trembling. It made people worry that he would not be careful and fall headfirst into the pit where Tai Sui was.

……

The stool was brought behind the father-in-law, and Captain Wang helped him sit down.

The old man waved his hand, Captain Wang nodded, and gave Feng Qiang a look. The two of them stepped down from the mound together, leaving the old man to sit there and calculate with the Tai Sui.

After retreating, Captain Wang came to Yang Ruoqing, and Feng Qiang followed.

Seeing that Yang Ruoqing's eyes were always on the old man, Captain Wang told Yang Ruoqing about the old man's origins.

It turned out that this father-in-law was a distant uncle of Wang Baochang, a native of Wanghai County, and lived in another town. He and Wang Baochang were relatives of the same surname within five generations.

This old man was born in poor health, frail and sickly, and his family thought he would never grow up.

One year, a Taoist priest from another country came to the house to ask for water. My uncle was only eight years old at the time. He not only scooped a bucket of water for the Taoist priest, but also gave the last steamed bun in the pot to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist ate the child's food and said that his food was not eaten in vain, so he looked at the child's face and told him his fortune.

Afterwards, the Taoist priest told the child to go to the grove behind the village after midnight every night. If he wanted to avoid becoming a sickly person and dying young, he should go to the woods and learn skills from him.

But you can't tell this to the adults at home. If you tell them, they won't be able to teach you anymore.

The eight-year-old child agreed and actually went to the woods without telling his family. He stayed there for two months.

He never told anyone what skills he had learned from the Taoist priest from another place, but strangely enough, his health was visibly improving day by day.

Originally, his family members did not discover his secret. Seeing his health getting better day by day, they were secretly happy. But later, his mother discovered that the eggs that the family had saved and were going to take to the market in town to exchange for oil and salt were suddenly gone.

Not only eggs, but also the steamed buns, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the house have disappeared very quickly in the past two months. His parents thought that there was a thief in the house, so they became cautious.

One night, he got up in the middle of the night while his family was asleep, went to the kitchen to steal eggs and steamed buns, took them out of the door, and went straight to the woods.

His parents followed him into the woods and saw him handing the things over to the foreign Taoist priest. His parents got angry and rushed into the woods, shouting and cursing while picking up the sickles and carrying poles they had brought.

This rush in would be a disaster.

The Taoist priest was frightened when he saw a stranger breaking in. He turned around and slipped into the knee-deep grass, turning into a big hedgehog and disappeared.

His parents were terrified, and he himself was terrified too, before he realized that the master who had taught him skills every day for the past two months was not a human, but a giant hedgehog!

"Big hedgehog?" Yang Ruoqing was actually intrigued by this statement.

"Is it true?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The young eunuch Feng Qiang's eyes widened as he listened. Yang Ruoqing also asked what was on his mind. He nodded repeatedly, looking at Captain Wang with nervousness and expectation.

Captain Wang hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the weird old man sitting on the high stool on the earth pile over there, and slowly shook his head.

"I can't say for sure whether it's true or not. I heard about this from my relatives when I was a kid."

"Many people have asked my cousin for confirmation, including me, but he never mentioned it, neither admitted nor denied it. In the end, many people said that maybe his parents had made a mistake, but they had passed away a long time ago, so the matter became an unsolved case."

Feng Qiang was still immersed in the weird style of this story, unable to extricate himself, his face full of longing and intoxication.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the old man sitting on the bench over there, who had finished calculating and was now talking to himself in the air.

"Captain Wang, who is your cousin talking to?" Yang Ruoqing asked quietly.

"Could it be with the Tai Sui in the pit?"

"It seems to me."

Yang Ruoqing swallowed secretly. Apart from hearing the old man mumbling to himself, she could not hear the voice of Tai Sui.

Is this old man really capable or is he just playing tricks?
Yang Ruoqing had excellent hearing. Even if they were five or six feet away, she could hear the voices of the servants guarding the construction site as long as she listened carefully.

However, the old man's mumbling, which was less than ten feet away from her, was very vague. It seemed that the sound was interfered by complex signals, and it was intermittent when it reached Yang Ruoqing's ears, making it difficult for her to hear clearly.

Yang Ruoqing moved forward silently, wanting to catch the old man's voice from a closer distance, and take a look at the Tai Sui in the pit to see if there was anything unusual.

After she moved two steps forward, she felt as if one of her feet and half of her body were encountering resistance.

She secretly exerted force, and then half of her body seemed to squeeze into a transparent invisible curtain.

Old Man Wang's voice continued to flow into Yang Ruoqing's left ear.

Now, she finally heard what he was talking to himself.

"The heaven and earth are natural, the foul air is dispersed, the mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural. Press the Five Mountains, the eight seas will know, the evil will dissipate, the Tao will last forever, the Supreme Lord Laozi will act quickly as ordered!"

Along with the sound of Old Man Wang chanting the spell, Yang Ruoqing also heard another mysterious and unpredictable voice coming from under the dug pit in the space isolated by the curtain wall.

The sound was so strange that it was indescribable. It was very noisy and chaotic, as if thousands of men and women were roaring, roaring, crying, cursing, and laughing wildly.

It was clearly a pit more than one meter deep, but when the sound reached Yang Ruoqing's ears, it seemed to come from thousands of feet underground, distant, empty, mysterious and ancient.
