Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 126 Third Aunt's Strange Disease
The little girl turned her head and looked at us in a daze for two seconds, then she came to her senses, cheerfully put down the burden on her shoulders, and said, brother Tiaohe, why are you here.

I said yes, sister Xuefei is me, I haven’t seen you for almost a year, I miss you so much!Where is your home? Take me there quickly.

Sister Xuefei pointed in one direction and said that her home was there!But it was blocked by many houses, so I couldn't see her house from here.

Sister Xuefei was nine years old last year. Although she is ten years old now, her height and appearance have not changed significantly, but she has lost a lot of weight.Her hair was covered in dirt, her hair was messy and rough as if it hadn't been washed for a month, and her immature face seemed to have a sense of vicissitudes that she shouldn't have at her age.

I asked Sister Concubine Xue how she was doing this year, she should be in the second grade now!How is your academic performance?

Concubine Xue told me that she didn't go to school this year with a dejected look on her face.

As soon as I heard that Concubine Xue didn't go to school anymore, I became anxious and asked her why she didn't go to school anymore!How can you stop reading at such a young age? Does your mother not read to you?

Sister Xuefei shook her head and said no, because the family had no money to read, and now she was reading it to her stepfather's son, who was not related to her by blood, and poor sister Xuefei had to do all the housework and light farm work at home. .

I was very upset when I heard that, why the third aunt remarried and fell to this point. Although life was hard before, raising two pigs was enough for the family's expenses, at least enough to send my daughter to school.

I asked Sister Xuefei, why didn't your mother help you find a way!
Concubine Xue's sister looked helpless, looking at the distant mountains with confused eyes, saying that her mother was sick and couldn't get out of bed until the new year, and her stepfather went to Wuzhou to work to build a house for others.Now Sister Xuefei does all the housework by herself every day. She has to get up at six o'clock, grow vegetables, feed pigs, wash clothes, and make medicine for her mother.

Hearing that the third aunt was sick and unable to get out of bed, I hurriedly urged Concubine Xue to lead the way so that I could go into the house to see the third aunt.

Sister Xuefei picked up the two loads of cow dung again, claiming that it was fertilizer for growing taro, her short and thin body seemed to be crushed.She shrugged her shoulders, obviously not used to the weight of the burden, so I hurriedly took it and let Sister Xuefei lead the way. After walking for five or six minutes, I came to a dilapidated mud-brick house.

Sister Xuefei asked me to put two loads of cow dung in front of the house. She entered the house and called Mom, and then said that Brother Jumping River is here.

After putting down two loads of cow dung, I also entered the house. I opened a wooden door and saw a very thin woman with a sallow complexion lying on the bed.She was extremely emaciated, and she looked as if she had aged 20 years. She struggled to sit up after seeing me, but it was useless with all her strength.

I was stunned, tears flowed from my eyes, and I called Sangu.

The third aunt showed an ugly smile, and said why the silly boy was crying, she didn't have any serious illness and would die, it was just that she couldn't get out of bed and had no strength in her limbs.

I hurried to the bed and told her to lie down and not get up, and she can talk while lying down if she has something to say, I'm listening!
The third aunt asked me how I have been in the past year, have I learned anything from the fifth sister-in-law (Witch Zhang), and why did I think of coming to Majiang to see her.Then Sangu lowered her voice and quietly asked who the two people behind me were
Ye Feiji heard Sangu's whisper, hurriedly introduced herself, said she was my private teacher, and asked Xiao Jianqi to call her auntie.

The third aunt smiled again when she heard this, and said that I can afford a private teacher, have I made a lot of money, why don't I go to school, how expensive is it to hire a teacher!
I told Sangu not to listen to her bragging, and then asked her how she was so healthy so she suddenly fell ill, and whether she had been to the hospital or asked someone to see her.

The third aunt said that the hospital had seen it, but nothing could be found out, so she invited an old doctor from Fu Luo to look at it, and gave him a prescription. Now she takes this prescription to the Chinese medicine shop in the town every day to get medicine and boil water to drink, but there is nothing. improvement.

I asked where she went to the hospital!

Sangu said that the hospital in the town originally wanted to go to Wuzhou Hospital, but I heard that it was very expensive, and my family couldn't afford it, so I had to ask for prescriptions everywhere and cook the medicine by myself at home.

I asked again why sister Concubine Xue didn't let me study anymore!I stopped studying in the second grade of elementary school, and I have no way out in the future!

The third aunt shook her head and sighed, saying that the family really couldn't afford the tuition fees, and she fell ill, and there was no one to do the work at home, so the third aunt didn't want Xuefei to suspend school!
Concubine Xue lowered her head when she heard this, then raised her head and wiped her tears, comforting her mother that it was okay and she didn't want to read anymore.

Seeing this, Ye Feiji squeezed my arm, and said why are you talking so much nonsense, just say that you just send this little sister to study, and then send your aunt to Wuzhou for medical treatment. Are you going to get moldy with so much money?
I glared at Ye Feiji and said that this is definitely necessary, but I have to ask about the situation!These are still taught by you.

When the third aunt heard my conversation with Ye Feiji, she hurriedly asked me what I did to make a lot of money!Did you make money by relying on the skills taught by sister-in-law Wu?

I found a stool and sat down, sighed and told San Gu that it was a long story, that Goddess Zhang disappeared shortly after she remarried, and has not been found until now.I also left the village not long afterward, and went to many places, sister Xuefei should know, didn't she tell you.As for the money, I don't want to talk about it. In short, there is no need to worry about medical treatment, let alone sister Xuefei's tuition, I can afford it even when I go to university.

The third aunt became excited when she heard it, and said that she knew that I was a promising person if she had read correctly.

Sister Xuefei came over excitedly and took my hand, repeatedly asking me if what brother Tiaohe said was true?

I nodded and said how could I lie to Sister Concubine Xue!I go to school tomorrow.

Sister Concubine Xue jumped up and down excitedly.

Xiao Jianzaki asked Sister Xuefei with a cute face, saying that sister, you said you didn't want to study just now, but now you want to study again, and took out a candy from your pocket to Concubine Xue.

Sister Xuefei took the candy from Xiaojianzaki, squeezed Xiaojianzaki's face, and asked me where this little sister came from.

I told her that I picked it up!I don't even have parents. It looks so pitiful, so I couldn't bear it so I took it with me.

In order to make Sister Xuefei more sure that I will be able to go to school tomorrow, I immediately took out 20 yuan pocket money to her and said that I would take her to the town to buy new clothes in the morning.

The third aunt was very happy and said that I was really promising. I didn't expect to be so smart at such a young age, and I became a boss and made a fortune.She asked me why Goddess Zhang disappeared, and where I had been this year.

I said that I will talk to her slowly in the future!I will send her to Wuzhou for treatment early tomorrow morning, but I would like to ask if there were any symptoms or reasons before the illness?

The third aunt said that she had no early symptoms and slept well at night, but couldn't get up when she wanted to get up the next day.

I was very puzzled and asked her if she had encountered any strange things before going to bed.

The third aunt recalled and said yes, and then told me what happened that night.

It turned out that Sangu's house had a fish pond, and she planned to catch the fish and sell them during the Chinese New Year. Because of the shallow water, she slept in the fish hut by the pond at night.The night before she couldn't get out of bed, she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and heard someone knocking on the door. She didn't dare to open the door or ask who was outside.Just listening to the knock on the door for a long time, she was also frightened for a long time, and fell asleep without knowing it, and couldn't get up when she woke up the next day.

Since she didn't go home to make breakfast at dawn, her husband came to the house by the pond to look for her, and then carried her home, where she has been lying on the bed ever since.During the period, I went to the township hospital once on a tricycle, but the doctor couldn't see anything. He only gave two bottles of hanging needles and then went home.

As soon as I heard it, I was sensitive and felt that the thing knocking on the door in the middle of the night should be an evil thing. She is no longer a widow, and no one would dare to knock on her door in the middle of the night.

I hurriedly asked Sangu if she had invited someone to see if she was bewitched.

The third aunt said that three people were invited, and each of them said that they were bewitched by evil spirits. The person who knocked on the door was someone from the village, who died in what year, and so on.

I was not surprised when I heard it, not everyone in this industry is smart, for example, there are a lot of people doing this in our town, but the most talented one is only the sorceress Zhang.Of course, there is another person who is more spiritual than Goddess Zhang, and that is in Jintian Town. I have never met this person, but Goddess Zhang mentioned it.

I asked Sangu if the fish pond at home was far from the village.

The third aunt said that it was not too far away, and it was only a ten-minute walk from the village at the foot of the mountain. Now there are no fish left, and her husband caught and sold all the fish to treat her illness, and she also went to Wuzhou to work.

I immediately proposed to show Sangu and go to the fish pond hut to sleep for one night.

The third aunt was very surprised, and then asked me if I learned the real skills from the fifth sister-in-law. The fifth sister-in-law is very clever, if I learn the skills, I can show her.

I said proudly, I don't know how to deal with witch Zhang, but I am now several times better than her in dealing with ghosts!I don't want to procrastinate for another day, so tonight I'm going to spend the night at the pond hut.

I told my third aunt not to worry, I will cure her illness no matter what, and she won't have to work so hard after her illness is cured, and I will build a new house for her.

The third aunt asked me where I got so much money, how could she accept it, or let me keep it for a few years to marry a wife, and she took a sneak peek at Ye Feiji after she finished speaking.

After dark, Sister Xuefei wanted to cook and asked me to help with the cooking. I went back to the kitchen and saw that there was only one radish next to the cutting board. I asked Sister Xuefei if she would eat this radish tonight?

Sister Xuefei said yes!She has been eating radishes for almost a month, but she doesn't know how long it will be!She has not eaten meat since Chinese New Year.

I was very distressed when I heard it, no wonder Concubine Xue has become so thin, what a young girl she was before!
I immediately went out of the house, went to a villager's house and bought two chickens for 20 yuan. I asked Xuefei's sister to boil water to kill one, and made soup for Sangu to drink. The chicken was left for us for dinner.
