vines and melons

Chapter 86

The three women readily agreed.

On the way, Gui Zhi learned that among the three people, two of them fulfilled their vows, and one was asking for money.

They asked Guizhi what she was doing here?
Gui Zhi said that she was also seeking money.She didn't want to show her "wounds" to others.

The place where the incense is burned is very far and remote. Take the 8-stop bus, get off and walk for 30 or 40 minutes.

This is an old courtyard with an earthen kiln with one big hole and one small hole.The small kiln is a necessity for selling incense, and the big kiln is a place for worship.Here are two middle-aged men, one young and one older.The older ones are masters, who look after Xiangtou and tell fortunes; the younger ones are handymen.

The young middle-aged man brought the cinnamon sticks and bought incense, candles and Ming coins to the big kiln.

In the middle of the big kiln is a table for the Eight Immortals. There are no gods on the table. Offerings are piled up in the middle of the table. Right in front of the offerings is a large incense burner.There is more than half a handful of incense in the incense burner, and the red candle next to it is covered with lumps of burning liquid, and the flickering flame fluctuates with the wind brought by the people who come in; there is an old-fashioned chair next to the Eight Immortals table, and the chair is sitting No-nonsense master.He drooped his eyelids and heard someone come to open his eyes and close them again.

Guizhi watched the three women worship respectfully.Looking at the table without a statue, she suddenly remembered that she was only happy that Fang Jie was saved on the way here, but she forgot to ask what kind of god was enshrined here.It doesn't feel right to ask now.In the end, Gui Zhi didn't know what kind of god was enshrined here?The thick smoke made Guizhi want to cough, she covered her nose and ran into the yard coughing for a while.

The three women left, Guizhi was about to go to offer incense, when two more people came, she let them to the front.

She respectfully stepped forward to offer offerings, burn incense, and burn coins.

The master looked at the uneven fragrant head and asked Gui Zhi what happened?She said that her daughter suffered from depression.

This is not the first time that the master of depression has watched it. He knows that most people who are depressed are unhappy, hurt their spring and autumn, love to go to the bottom of the horns, love to think wildly, and so on.The master asked Guizhi to report the horoscope of her daughter's birthday.After hearing this, the master looked at Xiangtou, murmured something that ordinary people could not understand, and then said in a tone of voice: "This girl has a strong personality, but she has a good heart and a quick temper. Let her son-in-law Can't put it down (disagreement)."

Gui Zhi nodded in agreement.

The master opened his eyes to see the smoky incense head, then slowly closed his eyes, and asked, "There is a war in your family!" Two sticks of incense ash burned by Guizhi crossed.

When Guizhi heard about the battle, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Jianjun and Fang Jie were arguing, he asked anxiously, "Is the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law arguing?"

The master didn't even lift his eyelids and said unhurriedly: "Striving for fragrance!"

Guizhi let out a long breath, thinking that it would be fine as long as the two of them didn't quarrel.When it comes to competing for fragrance, Guizhi is sensitively aware that it is Fang's family and Dong's family competing for fragrance, and said to the master, "Is it my former in-law's family and the current one?"

"Yes." said the Master.

Gui Zhi is eager to treat her daughter's illness, and tells her own experience and the symptoms of Fang Jie's disease.

In the end, the master said that he would bring his daughter to have a look at another day.

Guizhi brought Fang Jie here that night.

In the big kiln, the mother and daughter Guizhi knelt before the altar.

大师点燃一沓黄表纸拎起来，嘴里说着：66、88、166、188、266、288······大师说的数字就是钱数。他按着这个递增顺序往上加钱，一直加到黄表纸飘到八仙桌上为止。黄表纸落到桌上前一秒的那个数字就是桂枝要掏的钱数。说白了就是治好病方洁的病得拿多少钱。

Stacks of yellow paper were burned, and everyone read 488 in their mouths, but the yellow paper just didn't fall on the table.

At this time, the young man sitting at the door suddenly hiccupped one after another, adding a creepy atmosphere to the solemn kiln.

Fang Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, listened, her heart bristling. She was afraid of ghosts and gods since she was a child.She felt that her illness would not recover if the yellow paper didn't fall on the table, she looked at her mother through the gap between her elbows.

Gui Zhi, who lowered her head, felt that Fang Jie was looking at her, but she didn't dare to raise her head, because she was also muttering in her heart: Why isn't the yellow paper on the table?Didn't God promise to cure Fang Jie?
After one wad of yellow paper was burned, two more were burned. The money was read to 588, and the yellow paper did not float onto the table.

The master stood up suddenly, calling Guizhi and Fang Jie to stand up and rest for a while.

The master walked out of the kiln gate and gave the young man a wink.

The young man followed, and the two whispered outside.
