After the tool man strikes [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 61 The Stupid Brother in the Imperial Examination
Li Cuixiang lay on the kang for a whole day, and when the evening approached, she still got up to prepare dinner for her family.
They peasants don't have the particularity of a gentleman who cooks away from the kitchen. It is no problem for Lin Tiegen and Lin Ze to cook a hot meal, but their men are always extravagant. Li Cuixiang's flesh hurts seeing how much flour she has eaten, so she should do it herself.
Lin Lang pinched, and didn't enter the door until the food was on the table. His body was messy and muddy, as if he had rolled in a mud puddle.
"Where did you go?" Lin Tiegen looked at him with a sullen face, "I didn't see anyone during the day's work, but I knew I would come back after dinner."
"Ah," Lin Lang said with an innocent face, "I looked around, hoping to remember something, but it still didn't work. I have to work today, and no one informed me! Ze, did you go too? "
"Ah Ze wants to study, what kind of work are you doing!" Lin Tiegen thought he had always been impartial to his two sons, and now he also felt that the boss was too shameful, "The crops have just been planted in the field, and there is a lot of work to water and fertilize, you are not Paralyzed and lame, come to the ground with me tomorrow!"
"Oh." Lin Lang lowered his head aggrievedly.
Li Cuixiang brought a plate of boiled sweet potatoes into the room, fearing that the boss would suddenly go hysterical again, so she hurriedly smoothed things over, and angrily said to Lin Tiegen, "Eat when you eat, why don't you talk so much, isn't it uncomfortable for Da Niu!"
She picked the biggest sweet potato and put it into Lin Lang's bowl, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, you should take a good rest these few days and eat more."
Although her tone was gentle and loving, she still didn't dare to look directly at Lin Lang. She paused and asked tentatively, "Dear, how did you sleep last night?"
"It's okay." Lin Lang took a big bite of the sweet potato and swallowed it whole, then said slowly, "I dreamed of a woman last night, it's so strange, and I don't know her."
Li Cuixiang swallowed, "What does she look like?"
Lin Lang rubbed his forehead, "Hmm...big eyes, small mouth, and two moles on her face. Ask her to smile without saying anything, just like a fool."
With a bang, the bowl in Li Cuixiang's hand fell to the ground, and Lin Tiegen glared at her, "You are so messy, I don't know what you did last night, be careful!"
Last night Li Cuixiang's scream woke him up too, and she didn't say anything when she asked her, it was as creepy as being bewitched, and it made him fall back to sleep with difficulty.
Lin Lang leaned into Li Cuixiang's ear curiously, "Mother, do you know that woman?"
"no no……"
Li Cuixiang's hesitation was interrupted by Lin Ze, "Brother, that is the dead sister-in-law, you really don't remember?"
He stared straight at Lin Lang, as long as there was any evasion or concealment in his expression, he would be able to spot it immediately.
Xiao Mian, tested him again, you are not good enough when it comes to acting, Lin Lang frowned ignorantly, "Your sister-in-law? That's my wife? Why didn't I know, she died? How did she die? Ah My head hurts, just thinking about it gives me a headache!"
As he spoke, he hugged his head in pain again.
"My sister-in-law was giving birth to a child..."
Lin Ze wanted to say more, but Li Cuixiang suddenly screamed, "Enough!"
Everyone in the room looked at her, Li Cuixiang managed to force a smile, and managed to restore her previous gentle tone, "It's time to eat, don't talk about these sad things, eat while it's hot."
After the meal, Li Cuixiang packed up the dishes, and taking advantage of Lin Lang's absence, Li Cuixiang sneaked into the firewood house where he lived, searched for a while, and finally found the women's blouse that Lin Lang was wearing last night in a tattered clothes box in the corner.
The box was full of clothes left by the dumb daughter-in-law, and the top blouse was still stained with chicken blood, but it was neatly folded, and this folding method... was exactly the same as that of the dumb daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, she really came back!Li Cuixiang almost collapsed on the ground, and remembered the eyes that stared at her dumb daughter-in-law when she had a difficult delivery.
When the dumb daughter-in-law was about to give birth, she actually showed some signs of dystocia. At that time, if she hurried to ask the midwife, she might be able to save her, but Li Cuixiang, who was guarding the bedside, was moved by selfishness.
Are you really going to let this child be born?After the boss has a wife, sometimes he doesn't listen to her very much, and when the child comes out, he has to be more partial to his little family!No, her family, Aze, has to rely on him to earn money for his studies!
Because of selfish motives, Li Cuixiang just watched the dumb daughter-in-law lying on the bed and died, and then comforted herself, a woman has a narrow escape from giving birth to a child, and if she didn't make it through, it was her fate and unlucky luck, and it had nothing to do with me, it didn't matter!
But because of Lin Lang's disturbance last night, the dots of fear in her heart were magnified countless times in an instant. The dumb daughter-in-law possessed the boss, and she came to seek revenge on her, it must be!
Li Cuixiang put the blouse in a box in a panic and put it away, ran back to her room, fell on the kang and wrapped the quilt tremblingly, don't come to her again, it's none of her business, it's none of her business!
Lin Ze stopped Lin Lang who had come back from a walk to digest food at the door of his house, "Brother, what exactly do you want to do?"
Still testing him, Lin Lang blinked blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Mother, how can I feel sorry for you, you want to play tricks and tricks to scare her?"
There are too many things to be sorry for, Lin Lang rubbed his eyes in confusion and said, "Pretending to be a ghost? What are you talking about, what have I done?"
He sniffed, and his voice became stiff again, "I tell you, don't talk nonsense just because I can't remember, I am your brother! If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you!"
As he spoke, Lin Lang clenched his right hand and shot a feint in front of Lin Ze, but his eyes were timid.
His stern and introverted appearance dispelled most of Lin Ze's worries. It really is his elder brother. Even if he lost his memory, his weak and deceitful personality has not changed, but what about ghost possession?Lin Ze still decided to take a look for himself at night.
He smiled at Lin Lang, "I was just joking, brother, don't take it seriously, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
In the dead of night again, Lin Ze quietly walked out of the room, tiptoed to the firewood house where Lin Lang lived, gently pushed open the broken window that was leaking, and looked inside under the moonlight.
There was no light in the room, but the owner didn't sleep either. Standing in front of the bed, he didn't know what he was doing. Lin Ze pushed the window open a bit, and leaned on the window sill to barely see the situation inside.
The person in the room is obviously his elder brother, but he is wearing a thin and ill-fitting women's clothing. Through the hazy moonlight outside the window, he took off the dresses one by one from the outside to the inside, leaving only the base underwear, watching the action As if getting ready for a bath.
Seemingly seeing the gaze of a third party, he suddenly looked out the window. Lin Ze quickly squatted down to hide, covering his mouth tightly, but his heartbeat was unusually fast.
It's so similar, it's so similar, that is, the dress, the order of undressing, the arc of the arms raised, the sharp eyes, all are exactly the same... Lin Ze couldn't believe his eyes.
How is it possible, that matter is absolutely impossible to be known by a third person, including his elder brother, but what is going on now?Are there really ghosts? !
Even Lin Ze, who has always been steadfast in mind, also felt weak all over, and finally regained his strength, leaning on the wall to return to his room.
When Lin Lang noticed that he was leaving, he silently smiled coldly, folded the dumb daughter-in-law's dress and put it back in the box, changed into his own clothes and went to bed.
He knew that Lin Ze was not easy to be fooled. He wanted to convince him that he was really possessed by a dumb wife, but it was not as easy as fooling Li Cuixiang. .
It's not a glorious thing to say, Lin Ze once accidentally bumped into a dumb daughter-in-law taking a bath.Although he didn't peek on purpose, Lin Ze still didn't stick to "see no evil" and didn't look away because of the curiosity and longing that teenagers of their age had for the opposite sex.
But he didn't see the end. At the critical moment, the dumb daughter-in-law noticed something different and looked over at him, and he ran away quickly, just like tonight, but this incident left a little shadow in Lin Ze's heart , I often feel uncomfortable when facing the dumb daughter-in-law, as if her existence is the ironclad evidence that the evil thoughts in my heart are not purified.
When the dumb daughter-in-law died in childbirth, Lin Ze even felt relieved.
Regardless of whether the dumb daughter-in-law found him at that time, she would never say anything about being peeped in the shower. She couldn't even speak at all, and it was impossible for his elder brother to use this to scare him. What I saw in the evening, is it really a fool?Lin Ze lay on the bed, only feeling his scalp tingling.
The next day Lin Ze got up later than usual, and when he hurried to the school, Lin Lang took the initiative to greet him and ignored him.
This scares you?After all, he's still young, Lin Lang smiled like a villain behind him, it's still early.
He pretended to be so scary, not only wanted to teach Lin Ze mother and son a lesson before leaving, but also to create an opportunity to leave openly.
People in ancient times valued filial piety. Now that he is the eldest son of Lin, if he just abandons his parents and younger brother and runs away from home, if he is recognized by others in the future, it will inevitably lead to various disputes and accidents. Even if he has made any achievements, Maybe he will be attracted by this family to suck blood again, and it will not do him any good to tear up his face at that time.
Needless to say, Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze, Lin Lang didn't like the original owner's father Lin Tiegen either.
The original owner is a fool, but Lin Tiegen is not. It is impossible for him not to understand Li Cuixiang's words and deeds. As a father, he watched his son being deceived and tortured by his stepmother. In fact, in his heart, he also thought that the youngest son was more promising. In the final analysis, he was just selfish and cowardly. The original owner had already spent more than 20 years of filial piety, and Lin Lang didn't intend to take care of his father.
So before leaving, he wanted to make "Lin Daniu" disappear completely and change back to the identity of "Lin Lang". He took the initiative to cover up for him, so he pretended to be possessed.
For the next period of time, Lin Lang relied on amnesia and headaches during the day, all kinds of laziness, pretending to be stupid, not doing a lot of business, doing a lot of work, and always eating and drinking well. Li Cuixiang and his wife yelled so loudly that it was about to spread to the neighboring villages, making Li Cuixiang and his wife miserable.
At night, Lin Lang turned into a "big guy in women's clothing" and wandered outside the windows of Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze. Several times, he even quietly touched Lin Ze's bed, staring at him with wide eyes and expressionless face, which scared Lin Ze. Ze almost peed out.
Ten days later, Lin Ze's mother and son were both mentally weakened by him. The dark circles under their eyes were as big as eggs. Li Cuixiang overcooked several pots of rice. Lin Ze was also reprimanded by his master in public many times because he dozed off in class, " Go home if you don’t want to study, don’t waste your parents’ money!”
Li Cuixiang couldn't bear it any longer, she had to cover the windows tightly with thick cloth curtains before going to bed at night, she didn't even dare to poke her head out of the quilt, for fear of seeing Lin Lang's black shadow appearing outside the window again.
Now the black shadow can no longer be seen, but as soon as she closes her eyes, there is another sound of footsteps outside the house, the footsteps are soft and slow, clearly it is a woman, rustling, rustling, sending a chill down her spine.
Li Cuixiang pinched Lin Tiegen, who was sleeping like a dead pig next to him, "Old man, the boss is going too far, why don't you just leave him alone?"
"What do you care?" Lin Tiegen was still half awake, "The doctor can't do anything about him, what can I do? I don't sleep at night, thinking about it all day long! You have to take care of yourself!"
He muttered, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell asleep again.
I knew this man was useless!Wrapped in the quilt, Li Cuixiang tightly covered her ears with both hands to block out the sound from outside, no, she must find a way!The doctor has nothing to do with him, and there are Taoists!
The next day Li Cuixiang got up early and made Lin Lang a bowl of delicious lard noodles, and added an extra poached egg on top. Even her own son Lin Ze didn't get such treatment.
Lin Lang was flattered, "Mother, why did you make noodles for me today, neither father nor Aze have any?"
Li Cuixiang patted him on the shoulder lovingly, "You have been tired from working in the fields these days, eat more to replenish your body."
This is strange, "replenishing the body" has always been Lin Ze's benefit. The original owner doesn't even have to think about it. If he has nothing to do, he can do whatever he wants. Could it be that there is medicine in his face?Based on Li Cuixiang's emphasis on food, it shouldn't be.
Li Cuixiang urged him to eat it while it was hot, and then explained his purpose, "Dear Niu, Mother is going to the town to buy something, it is very heavy, can you help Mother?"
"No problem." Lin Lang buried his head and took a bite of the poached egg, imitating the original owner with a silly smile, his voice was vague, "Mother's noodles are delicious, so I can do whatever Mother wants me to do."
"Really good boy."
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had their own ulterior motives, this would really be a beautiful picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
After breakfast, Li Cuixiang dragged Lin Ze into the room to discuss for a while, changed into the neatest clothes, came out with a cloth bag that looked like a book, and called Lin Lang to go to town together.
Lin Lang casually asked, "Where's Aze, isn't he going to school today?"
"The school is closed today, let him study at home by himself."
Li Cuixiang thought to herself, of course her son should not be implicated in this kind of ghost trouble, as her family, Aze, is going to be the champion.
She took Lin Lang to take a shortcut, and it took more than half an hour to reach the town. Instead of going to the bustling market street, she turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a remote Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is dilapidated, with spider silk hanging from the door frame. It is obvious that it has not been repaired for many years. If the plaque with the words "Qingyun Temple" on the outside has not been wiped clean, no one will think that there are people inside.
Lin Daniu was illiterate, so Lin Lang pretended to be ignorant, "Mother, where is this? What are we going to buy here?"
"Mother can still hurt you," Li Cuixiang smiled and pushed him, "Let's go in and talk about it."
The Taoist temple is not big, and you can see the end when you enter the door. There is only a middle-aged Taoist priest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Li Cuixiang asked Lin Lang to wait at the door, and walked over to whisper a few words to the Taoist priest. Lin Lang swept over, scanned him from head to toe, and nodded slightly.
They thought that Lin Lang couldn't hear it from far away, but they didn't know that Lin Lang's five senses were sharper than ordinary people, and he could hear clearly.
Li Cuixiang: "That's the boss of my family. He fell down the mountain and broke his brain a few days ago. He seems to be stained with stolen things. Can you help me, Master?"
Taoist: "This child's breath is turbid, and Yin and Yang are hard to distinguish. He is indeed contaminated with evil things. Show me the birth date."
Li Cuixiang quickly took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag in her hand, "Here, master, please read."
The Taoist glanced at the horoscope for a few days of birth, then at Lin Lang, lowered his head and pinched his fingers, and suddenly his face darkened, "This thing is dangerous, I'll meet him later!" He said hello to Lin Lang, "Silly boy ,come here!"
Lin Lang looked at Li Cuixiang, and walked over obediently after seeing her nodding, "Mother, what is he going to do?"
Li Cuixiang smiled at him, "Don't ask, just stay here honestly, listen to the master, and mother will tell you when I go back."
"Oh."
The original owner in the past was so good at fooling around, believing what he said, so Li Cuixiang didn't even bother to think of a reason to lie to him.
The Taoist walked around Lin Lang, grabbed a piece of yellow paper from the desk and pasted it on his chest, waved his mahogany sword and danced, still muttering something, after a while, he picked up the cup on the table and swallowed it. He took a sip of water and sprayed it on Lin Lang's chest. In an instant, bright red and glaring bloodstains appeared on the empty yellow paper.
"Ah!" Li Cuixiang couldn't help screaming, "What is that?!"
The Taoist put away the mahogany sword, closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his breath, as if his vitality was seriously injured, he opened his eyes slowly after a while, coughed twice and sighed: "The evil thing is so powerful, the poor Taoist is not prepared enough, I cut it several times Sword, ahem, let it escape."
Lin Lang: "..."
Ok, sure, this is a liar. The trick of turmeric and alkaline water to fake blood can be said to be an old trick, but Li Cuixiang was deceived, so let him cheat.
Sure enough, Li Cuixiang was coaxed by the Taoist for a moment, and when she heard that the ghost had escaped, she remembered to stomp her feet, "What should I do, master, you can't just leave me halfway!"
"To tell the truth, Master, that female ghost is our daughter-in-law who died of a dystocia two months ago. She is a little bit resentful towards us. I can't stand the daily tossing. You must find a way to solve her!"
Lin Lang: "..."
His stepmother's anti-fraud skills are not good enough, and the Taoist priest didn't say anything, so she explained everything, but luckily she wasn't his own mother.
The Taoist obviously felt the same way, the corners of his mouth inadvertently twitched, he pinched his fingers, and pretended to be deep: "Although there is a grievance, there is a debt, but humans and ghosts have different paths. This time, she crossed the line."
"Forget it, Pindao will go all out and help you again."
He asked Li Cuixiang to name the birth date of the dumb daughter-in-law, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote down a list, "You guys prepare these sacrifices, and at midnight three days later, Pindao will personally come to your house to exorcise evil spirits for you."
"Do you want to come? Do you want this, so many sacrifices?" Li Cuixiang has always dreamed of getting her son's son to be an official old lady, and she also learned a few words from Lin Ze, squinting at the items on the list, and her thin cheeks trembled. Trembling, flesh pain written all over his face.
"Mother, what are you looking at?"
Lin Lang leaned over and took a look. This Taoist priest really opened his mouth like a lion. The sacrifices required a pig's head, a slice of pork, a slice of mutton, a pair of chickens, ducks, and geese, plus 20 liang of silver ingots, and some incense sticks of yellow paper. ...Based on his understanding of the Lin family's financial situation, he might not be able to get it out even if he emptied his family's fortune.
Li Cuixiang looked puzzled, "Master, can this sacrifice be less..."
The Taoist glanced at her, and his tone became cold, "There are rules for people, and rules for ghosts. The sacrifice is not what I want. It is tolls for your daughter-in-law. There is no room for bargaining."
Li Cuixiang clenched her sleeves tightly, with an embarrassed look on her face, "Master, my family is really not well off, and I have a son who needs to study, so please take a little less."
"Students?" The Taoist priest's eyelids twitched when he heard this. Scholars are the worst to serve. When you ask for something, they speak nicely than anyone else. Once the matter is over, he may sue you for cheating at any time. He is not uncommon. Scholars suffer, otherwise they would not be trapped in the corner of this small town.
Thinking about it this way, the Taoist priest who originally wanted to make a lot of money from Li Cuixiang felt a little bit drummed. I am afraid that the money is not so easy to earn. Instead of taking risks, it is better to stop early.
"If you say you can't do less, you can't do less. What are you talking about!" The Taoist flicked his sleeves impatiently, "If you want a cheaper one, go find someone else, hurry up! You don't want the exorcism fee just now! Poor ghost!"
Unexpectedly, after busying himself for nothing, the Taoist priest was also a little annoyed, and directly pushed Li Cuixiang out of the Taoist temple, Lin Lang followed suit, and the Taoist priest closed the door behind him.
Lin Lang still looked naive, "Mother, what were you talking about just now, exorcising ghosts and offering sacrifices, what do you mean?"
"It's not all your fault!" When things were not going well, Li Cuixiang couldn't help but glared at him, but she didn't say anything when Lin Lang asked again.
When the two returned to Dalin Village, Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze immediately hid in the house to discuss matters. Lin Lang pretended to be chopping firewood outside and listened to what they said.
"Mom, how are things going today?" Lin Ze asked eagerly.
Although he didn't want to believe in strange things, but the experience of the past few days was really bizarre, and he couldn't think of a solution, so he could only pin his hopes on the methods of Taoist priests.
Li Cuixiang told him in detail the experience of the Taoist practice, especially vividly describing the scene where the blood appeared on the yellow paper, "The Taoist indeed has some real skills, but the asking price is too high, our family... can't afford it."
Lin Ze was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Mom, what do you think of Big Brother?"
"What about it?" Li Cuixiang was puzzled, thought for a while and said, "I used to be quite obedient, but I've really been bewitched these days."
"Think about it..." Lin Ze paused, "If he is gone, will it be good or bad for our family?"
Li Cuixiang looked at her son in disbelief, "You mean..."
Lin Ze nodded slightly, his eyes were cold, "That's what you think, mother, this is the best way.",,
They peasants don't have the particularity of a gentleman who cooks away from the kitchen. It is no problem for Lin Tiegen and Lin Ze to cook a hot meal, but their men are always extravagant. Li Cuixiang's flesh hurts seeing how much flour she has eaten, so she should do it herself.
Lin Lang pinched, and didn't enter the door until the food was on the table. His body was messy and muddy, as if he had rolled in a mud puddle.
"Where did you go?" Lin Tiegen looked at him with a sullen face, "I didn't see anyone during the day's work, but I knew I would come back after dinner."
"Ah," Lin Lang said with an innocent face, "I looked around, hoping to remember something, but it still didn't work. I have to work today, and no one informed me! Ze, did you go too? "
"Ah Ze wants to study, what kind of work are you doing!" Lin Tiegen thought he had always been impartial to his two sons, and now he also felt that the boss was too shameful, "The crops have just been planted in the field, and there is a lot of work to water and fertilize, you are not Paralyzed and lame, come to the ground with me tomorrow!"

She picked the biggest sweet potato and put it into Lin Lang's bowl, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, you should take a good rest these few days and eat more."
Although her tone was gentle and loving, she still didn't dare to look directly at Lin Lang. She paused and asked tentatively, "Dear, how did you sleep last night?"
"It's okay." Lin Lang took a big bite of the sweet potato and swallowed it whole, then said slowly, "I dreamed of a woman last night, it's so strange, and I don't know her."
Li Cuixiang swallowed, "What does she look like?"
Lin Lang rubbed his forehead, "Hmm...big eyes, small mouth, and two moles on her face. Ask her to smile without saying anything, just like a fool."
With a bang, the bowl in Li Cuixiang's hand fell to the ground, and Lin Tiegen glared at her, "You are so messy, I don't know what you did last night, be careful!"
Last night Li Cuixiang's scream woke him up too, and she didn't say anything when she asked her, it was as creepy as being bewitched, and it made him fall back to sleep with difficulty.

"My sister-in-law was giving birth to a child..."
Lin Ze wanted to say more, but Li Cuixiang suddenly screamed, "Enough!"
Everyone in the room looked at her, Li Cuixiang managed to force a smile, and managed to restore her previous gentle tone, "It's time to eat, don't talk about these sad things, eat while it's hot."

When the dumb daughter-in-law died in childbirth, Lin Ze even felt relieved.
Regardless of whether the dumb daughter-in-law found him at that time, she would never say anything about being peeped in the shower. She couldn't even speak at all, and it was impossible for his elder brother to use this to scare him. What I saw in the evening, is it really a fool?Lin Ze lay on the bed, only feeling his scalp tingling.
The next day Lin Ze got up later than usual, and when he hurried to the school, Lin Lang took the initiative to greet him and ignored him.
This scares you?After all, he's still young, Lin Lang smiled like a villain behind him, it's still early.
He pretended to be so scary, not only wanted to teach Lin Ze mother and son a lesson before leaving, but also to create an opportunity to leave openly.
People in ancient times valued filial piety. Now that he is the eldest son of Lin, if he just abandons his parents and younger brother and runs away from home, if he is recognized by others in the future, it will inevitably lead to various disputes and accidents. Even if he has made any achievements, Maybe he will be attracted by this family to suck blood again, and it will not do him any good to tear up his face at that time.
Needless to say, Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze, Lin Lang didn't like the original owner's father Lin Tiegen either.
The original owner is a fool, but Lin Tiegen is not. It is impossible for him not to understand Li Cuixiang's words and deeds. As a father, he watched his son being deceived and tortured by his stepmother. In fact, in his heart, he also thought that the youngest son was more promising. In the final analysis, he was just selfish and cowardly. The original owner had already spent more than 20 years of filial piety, and Lin Lang didn't intend to take care of his father.
So before leaving, he wanted to make "Lin Daniu" disappear completely and change back to the identity of "Lin Lang". He took the initiative to cover up for him, so he pretended to be possessed.
For the next period of time, Lin Lang relied on amnesia and headaches during the day, all kinds of laziness, pretending to be stupid, not doing a lot of business, doing a lot of work, and always eating and drinking well. Li Cuixiang and his wife yelled so loudly that it was about to spread to the neighboring villages, making Li Cuixiang and his wife miserable.
At night, Lin Lang turned into a "big guy in women's clothing" and wandered outside the windows of Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze. Several times, he even quietly touched Lin Ze's bed, staring at him with wide eyes and expressionless face, which scared Lin Ze. Ze almost peed out.
Ten days later, Lin Ze's mother and son were both mentally weakened by him. The dark circles under their eyes were as big as eggs. Li Cuixiang overcooked several pots of rice. Lin Ze was also reprimanded by his master in public many times because he dozed off in class, " Go home if you don’t want to study, don’t waste your parents’ money!”
Li Cuixiang couldn't bear it any longer, she had to cover the windows tightly with thick cloth curtains before going to bed at night, she didn't even dare to poke her head out of the quilt, for fear of seeing Lin Lang's black shadow appearing outside the window again.
Now the black shadow can no longer be seen, but as soon as she closes her eyes, there is another sound of footsteps outside the house, the footsteps are soft and slow, clearly it is a woman, rustling, rustling, sending a chill down her spine.
Li Cuixiang pinched Lin Tiegen, who was sleeping like a dead pig next to him, "Old man, the boss is going too far, why don't you just leave him alone?"
"What do you care?" Lin Tiegen was still half awake, "The doctor can't do anything about him, what can I do? I don't sleep at night, thinking about it all day long! You have to take care of yourself!"
He muttered, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell asleep again.
I knew this man was useless!Wrapped in the quilt, Li Cuixiang tightly covered her ears with both hands to block out the sound from outside, no, she must find a way!The doctor has nothing to do with him, and there are Taoists!
The next day Li Cuixiang got up early and made Lin Lang a bowl of delicious lard noodles, and added an extra poached egg on top. Even her own son Lin Ze didn't get such treatment.
Lin Lang was flattered, "Mother, why did you make noodles for me today, neither father nor Aze have any?"
Li Cuixiang patted him on the shoulder lovingly, "You have been tired from working in the fields these days, eat more to replenish your body."
This is strange, "replenishing the body" has always been Lin Ze's benefit. The original owner doesn't even have to think about it. If he has nothing to do, he can do whatever he wants. Could it be that there is medicine in his face?Based on Li Cuixiang's emphasis on food, it shouldn't be.
Li Cuixiang urged him to eat it while it was hot, and then explained his purpose, "Dear Niu, Mother is going to the town to buy something, it is very heavy, can you help Mother?"
"No problem." Lin Lang buried his head and took a bite of the poached egg, imitating the original owner with a silly smile, his voice was vague, "Mother's noodles are delicious, so I can do whatever Mother wants me to do."
"Really good boy."
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had their own ulterior motives, this would really be a beautiful picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
After breakfast, Li Cuixiang dragged Lin Ze into the room to discuss for a while, changed into the neatest clothes, came out with a cloth bag that looked like a book, and called Lin Lang to go to town together.
Lin Lang casually asked, "Where's Aze, isn't he going to school today?"
"The school is closed today, let him study at home by himself."
Li Cuixiang thought to herself, of course her son should not be implicated in this kind of ghost trouble, as her family, Aze, is going to be the champion.
She took Lin Lang to take a shortcut, and it took more than half an hour to reach the town. Instead of going to the bustling market street, she turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a remote Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is dilapidated, with spider silk hanging from the door frame. It is obvious that it has not been repaired for many years. If the plaque with the words "Qingyun Temple" on the outside has not been wiped clean, no one will think that there are people inside.
Lin Daniu was illiterate, so Lin Lang pretended to be ignorant, "Mother, where is this? What are we going to buy here?"
"Mother can still hurt you," Li Cuixiang smiled and pushed him, "Let's go in and talk about it."
The Taoist temple is not big, and you can see the end when you enter the door. There is only a middle-aged Taoist priest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Li Cuixiang asked Lin Lang to wait at the door, and walked over to whisper a few words to the Taoist priest. Lin Lang swept over, scanned him from head to toe, and nodded slightly.
They thought that Lin Lang couldn't hear it from far away, but they didn't know that Lin Lang's five senses were sharper than ordinary people, and he could hear clearly.
Li Cuixiang: "That's the boss of my family. He fell down the mountain and broke his brain a few days ago. He seems to be stained with stolen things. Can you help me, Master?"
Taoist: "This child's breath is turbid, and Yin and Yang are hard to distinguish. He is indeed contaminated with evil things. Show me the birth date."
Li Cuixiang quickly took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag in her hand, "Here, master, please read."
The Taoist glanced at the horoscope for a few days of birth, then at Lin Lang, lowered his head and pinched his fingers, and suddenly his face darkened, "This thing is dangerous, I'll meet him later!" He said hello to Lin Lang, "Silly boy ,come here!"
Lin Lang looked at Li Cuixiang, and walked over obediently after seeing her nodding, "Mother, what is he going to do?"
Li Cuixiang smiled at him, "Don't ask, just stay here honestly, listen to the master, and mother will tell you when I go back."
"Oh."
The original owner in the past was so good at fooling around, believing what he said, so Li Cuixiang didn't even bother to think of a reason to lie to him.
The Taoist walked around Lin Lang, grabbed a piece of yellow paper from the desk and pasted it on his chest, waved his mahogany sword and danced, still muttering something, after a while, he picked up the cup on the table and swallowed it. He took a sip of water and sprayed it on Lin Lang's chest. In an instant, bright red and glaring bloodstains appeared on the empty yellow paper.
"Ah!" Li Cuixiang couldn't help screaming, "What is that?!"
The Taoist put away the mahogany sword, closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his breath, as if his vitality was seriously injured, he opened his eyes slowly after a while, coughed twice and sighed: "The evil thing is so powerful, the poor Taoist is not prepared enough, I cut it several times Sword, ahem, let it escape."
Lin Lang: "..."
Ok, sure, this is a liar. The trick of turmeric and alkaline water to fake blood can be said to be an old trick, but Li Cuixiang was deceived, so let him cheat.
Sure enough, Li Cuixiang was coaxed by the Taoist for a moment, and when she heard that the ghost had escaped, she remembered to stomp her feet, "What should I do, master, you can't just leave me halfway!"
"To tell the truth, Master, that female ghost is our daughter-in-law who died of a dystocia two months ago. She is a little bit resentful towards us. I can't stand the daily tossing. You must find a way to solve her!"
Lin Lang: "..."
His stepmother's anti-fraud skills are not good enough, and the Taoist priest didn't say anything, so she explained everything, but luckily she wasn't his own mother.
The Taoist obviously felt the same way, the corners of his mouth inadvertently twitched, he pinched his fingers, and pretended to be deep: "Although there is a grievance, there is a debt, but humans and ghosts have different paths. This time, she crossed the line."
"Forget it, Pindao will go all out and help you again."
He asked Li Cuixiang to name the birth date of the dumb daughter-in-law, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote down a list, "You guys prepare these sacrifices, and at midnight three days later, Pindao will personally come to your house to exorcise evil spirits for you."
"Do you want to come? Do you want this, so many sacrifices?" Li Cuixiang has always dreamed of getting her son's son to be an official old lady, and she also learned a few words from Lin Ze, squinting at the items on the list, and her thin cheeks trembled. Trembling, flesh pain written all over his face.
"Mother, what are you looking at?"
Lin Lang leaned over and took a look. This Taoist priest really opened his mouth like a lion. The sacrifices required a pig's head, a slice of pork, a slice of mutton, a pair of chickens, ducks, and geese, plus 20 liang of silver ingots, and some incense sticks of yellow paper. ...Based on his understanding of the Lin family's financial situation, he might not be able to get it out even if he emptied his family's fortune.
Li Cuixiang looked puzzled, "Master, can this sacrifice be less..."
The Taoist glanced at her, and his tone became cold, "There are rules for people, and rules for ghosts. The sacrifice is not what I want. It is tolls for your daughter-in-law. There is no room for bargaining."
Li Cuixiang clenched her sleeves tightly, with an embarrassed look on her face, "Master, my family is really not well off, and I have a son who needs to study, so please take a little less."
"Students?" The Taoist priest's eyelids twitched when he heard this. Scholars are the worst to serve. When you ask for something, they speak nicely than anyone else. Once the matter is over, he may sue you for cheating at any time. He is not uncommon. Scholars suffer, otherwise they would not be trapped in the corner of this small town.
Thinking about it this way, the Taoist priest who originally wanted to make a lot of money from Li Cuixiang felt a little bit drummed. I am afraid that the money is not so easy to earn. Instead of taking risks, it is better to stop early.
"If you say you can't do less, you can't do less. What are you talking about!" The Taoist flicked his sleeves impatiently, "If you want a cheaper one, go find someone else, hurry up! You don't want the exorcism fee just now! Poor ghost!"
Unexpectedly, after busying himself for nothing, the Taoist priest was also a little annoyed, and directly pushed Li Cuixiang out of the Taoist temple, Lin Lang followed suit, and the Taoist priest closed the door behind him.
Lin Lang still looked naive, "Mother, what were you talking about just now, exorcising ghosts and offering sacrifices, what do you mean?"
"It's not all your fault!" When things were not going well, Li Cuixiang couldn't help but glared at him, but she didn't say anything when Lin Lang asked again.
When the two returned to Dalin Village, Li Cuixiang and Lin Ze immediately hid in the house to discuss matters. Lin Lang pretended to be chopping firewood outside and listened to what they said.
"Mom, how are things going today?" Lin Ze asked eagerly.
Although he didn't want to believe in strange things, but the experience of the past few days was really bizarre, and he couldn't think of a solution, so he could only pin his hopes on the methods of Taoist priests.
Li Cuixiang told him in detail the experience of the Taoist practice, especially vividly describing the scene where the blood appeared on the yellow paper, "The Taoist indeed has some real skills, but the asking price is too high, our family... can't afford it."
Lin Ze was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Mom, what do you think of Big Brother?"
"What about it?" Li Cuixiang was puzzled, thought for a while and said, "I used to be quite obedient, but I've really been bewitched these days."
"Think about it..." Lin Ze paused, "If he is gone, will it be good or bad for our family?"
Li Cuixiang looked at her son in disbelief, "You mean..."
Lin Ze nodded slightly, his eyes were cold, "That's what you think, mother, this is the best way.",,
