Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 148 Stillbirth
"What?! Hit a ghost?!"

Daniel himself has a rough voice, and after drinking some wine, he howled out in one voice.

Fortunately, his mother was watching TV upstairs with his daughter-in-law, so she probably didn't hear it.

"Shhhhh! Be quiet!" I put my finger on my lips, signaling Daniel not to get excited.

"Xiaogu, don't bully me, Tingting... why did Tingting hit a ghost?" Daniel's tone changed a little. People in the countryside are superstitious, and our family is The man who fished up the corpses of the Yellow River is a bit of a Taoist himself, so Daniel believes in my words.

"I'm not bluffing you! Just now I saw black lines in sister-in-law's eyes, which is a typical performance of beating ghosts!" I threw a peanut in my mouth and bit it loudly.

Daniu showed panic, and lowered his voice: "Xiaogu, to tell you the truth, I had doubts before, but Tingting always wanted me to believe in science and medicine, but I always thought this was weird!"

"This is really weird. I suspect that my sister-in-law's belly is stillborn!" I reached out and knocked on the table with a solemn expression.

"Dead... stillborn..." Daniel opened his mouth, his face became ugly, he kept silent, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

"Brother Daniel, it's a foregone conclusion, don't be too sad, at least my sister-in-law is fine now!" I comforted Daniel and poured him a glass of wine.

Daniu breathed out alcohol, his eyes were red: "Actually, since the doctor told us that Tingting has no children in her stomach, I have basically accepted this fact. But you know, people are often unwilling to face the reality , I have always held expectations in my heart, hoping for a miracle to happen. But now hearing what you said, I know that the miracle will not happen, so I feel a little sad!"

"Look aside, many things are fate, and this is not something you can decide!" I said.

Daniel nodded: "Xiaogu, I know that your family has some skills in dealing with evil things. Can you find a way to help me with this matter? It doesn't matter if the child is gone, but I can't lose Tingting. Now that you know the cause , is there a way to cure Tingting?"

I took a sip of the wine: "Brother Big Niu, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help my sister-in-law. But I need to know one thing now, when did my sister-in-law lose her baby?"

"More than a year ago! She has been pregnant for two years!" Daniel said.

"Be more exact!"

"Well, it should be a year and a half ago, that is, when I was six months pregnant!" Daniel thought for a while.

"Do you remember any strange things happened to you or your sister-in-law during that month?" I asked solemnly.

"Strange thing?!" Da Niu frowned, took three sips of soju, and suddenly put the wine glass on the table: "Xiaogu, after you said that, I remembered something!"

I nodded: "Say it!"

Daniel said: "I remember that I was on annual leave that month, so I took Tingting back to Hezi Village to visit relatives. One day, my aunt celebrated her birthday and invited us to visit. Her home is in Liuwan Village. We had lunch that day During dinner, some relatives at home took me to play mahjong. The hand was very smooth that day, and I won a lot of money. I may have put myself too much into the game. It was not until dinner that I realized that Tingting had disappeared.

At that time, the whole family was in a panic and sent out all relatives to help find Tingting. They found Tingting next to an abandoned pond in Liuwan Village. When she was found, she had passed out.The whole family rushed Tingting to the village health center in a hurry. The doctor at the health center checked Tingting and said that Tingting was fine, maybe her blood sugar was a little low, so she fainted, and she just needs to go back and pay attention to rest.

After returning home, I asked Tingting how she ran to the pond. Tingting said she was free, so she played along the ridge of the field and came to the pond without knowing it.She said that when she walked to the edge of the pond, she also met a little girl in a flowered dress. The little girl was about seven or eight years old, with two braids and her face was dirty with mud. , she dragged Tingting's clothes, crying to be Tingting's daughter.Tingting felt very strange, so she patiently comforted the little girl, saying that she had a baby in her stomach and could not be her mother, and asked her to go home to find her own mother.Who knew that the little girl suddenly became angry and pushed Tingting down, and Tingting passed out.

At that time, I was very angry when I heard about this incident. I thought to myself, which family's children are so naughty and push pregnant women, it is really uneducated.I originally wanted to go to Liuwan Village to find out the whereabouts of the little girl and ask her parents for an explanation, but Tingting had a good heart and said that she was fine, so let's forget about it.I don't want to get angry with an ignorant child. After a while, I don't take this matter to heart.

Later, when we returned to Jiangsu from Hezi Village, when we went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said that the fetus in Tingting's stomach was gone.Xiao Gu, hearing what you said now, is it all thanks to that little girl? "

Daniu looked at me nervously, cold sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.

I took a sip of shochu: "Well, this matter is not clear, and we can't make a conclusion for the time being, I can only say that there is a possibility!"

"Then what should we do next? How can Tingting be cured?" Daniel asked anxiously, wiping off his cold sweat.

I comforted me: "Brother Big Niu, don't worry, let's go to Liuwan Village tomorrow and find out the whereabouts of that little girl!"

Daniu nodded persistently: "Success! Xiaogu, I'm counting on you for this matter. If you can cure Tingting, I will be your ox and horse for the rest of my life, and I will be at your disposal!"

"Look at what you're talking about. If my brother doesn't talk about it, the matter can really be settled. Just treat me to a drink!" I smiled slightly.

"Success! It is necessary to invite you to drink! Then I will make you a pot of firewood-roasted chicken, so that you will drool if you are greedy!" Daniel said, patting his chest.

"Okay, it's a deal! Rest early tonight, see you tomorrow!" I said goodbye to Daniel.

When I got to the door, I told Daniel: "Don't let my sister-in-law know about this for now, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it!"

Daniel nodded: "I'll take care of that, brother, please!"

Back in the old house, I found some yellow paper from the cabinet in the old house, dipped it in cinnabar and started to draw symbols.

Grandpa would draw talismans every time he went out on a boat, so there is no shortage of things like yellow paper and cinnabar at home.

I was busy until late at night, and then I climbed into bed and went to sleep. I was really sleepy this day.

Before dawn, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

I opened the door in a daze, and saw Daniu standing at the door, his hair covered with frost.

"Brother Big Niu, it's so early? The rooster outside hasn't crowed yet!" I yawned big.

Daniu smiled honestly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I did come a little early. I can't help it, I have something in my heart, I can't sleep all night, I just look forward to the dawn!" Carrying pocket: "Brother brought you some soy milk fritters, eat it while it's hot!"

After eating soy milk fritters and taking a shower, I felt much better. The rooster outside began to crow, and the sky gradually brightened.

I put the few spells I drew last night in my pocket, and followed Daniel out of the house.

Liuwan Village is still tens of miles away from our Hezi Village. Anyway, it is still early, and Daniu and I chatted and walked forward.

"Hey, Brother Big Niu, do you still remember seeing Widow Zhang having an affair with Bachelor Li when you were young?" I said.

"Haha, it's been so many years, and you're still thinking about it!" Daniel grinned, rubbing his head embarrassingly.

I pouted: "Hey, I don't know who is thinking about it. I remember you telling us with pride at that time that your biggest dream in this life is to sleep Widow Zhang!"

Daniu took a deep breath, his eyes fascinated, as if he was reminiscing about that beautiful scene: "To be honest, Widow Zhang's buttocks are really white and tender, just like that big white steamed bun, which made me greedy at the time, tsk tsk , for at least a month, I pestered my mother to make steamed buns for me every day! Hey, by the way, where did Widow Zhang go? Why didn’t I hear about her when I returned to the village? She was still with that bachelor Li ?"

I smiled: "It's gone for a long time. After the story of the two of them spread in the village, Widow Zhang left. I heard that she married to Shanxi. Later, someone asked Mr. Li to be a matchmaker, and Mr. Li also went to other places. village!"

"Hey, there was indeed a lot of news about the two of them at the time. In fact, a widow and a bachelor, it's okay for the two of them to be together, because life needs it!" Daniel said.

I said: "If this matter is left in the city, then it is not a big deal. But in a small village like ours, and in the background of that era, it is a shameful thing!"

"By the way, do you still remember that little Lizi?" Daniel asked me suddenly.

"Xiao Lizi? Who is it?" I really can't remember the name.

Daniu smiled badly: "Brother, you are more like pretending to be with your brother. Even if you forget us, you can't forget Xiao Lizi! The youngest daughter of the old Li's family in the west of the village, when we were in junior high school, Li Zizi She was only as big as Xiao Douding, and she followed your ass every day, had a special liking for you, and said all day long that she would be your little wife when she grows up, have you forgotten?"

My old face blushed, and I remembered that Li Zi had come, and what Daniel said was true.At that time, everyone was still young, and Li Zi was even younger. He followed my buttocks all day and called him brother, and told everyone that he would marry me when he grew up. At that time, the adults in the village liked to tease her the most. He asked, "Li Zi, where is your little lonely brother?"

I coughed twice: "Crazy, okay, why did you bring up Li Zi? This is all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, and besides, everyone was still young at that time, just talking about it!"

Daniel smiled: "I went to the village health center that day and met Li Zi. It turned out that she became a nurse when she grew up, and now she took the initiative to transfer back to Hezi village to work. Tsk tsk, someday I will go to the health center for a walk , maybe the two of you have a play!"

"Fuck you, crazy!"
