The coachman slapped his thigh and said, "No one knows whether it was caused by the ritual ceremony. As for the strange things, they are actually not harmful, but my family also feels uncomfortable. Since the ritual ceremony, my family has been suffering from a strange disease. As long as it is... If you are of the old man's blood, and if you are a man, including children, you will have sarcomas on your body. Some are on the chest, some on the back, and some on the long legs and arms. The worst thing is the old man's eldest son, who is now the county clerk? Sir, it was on my chin, and although this sarcoma was life-threatening, it was not good after all. I also invited a doctor, but there was no cure. A doctor came and cut out the sarcoma. As a result, I became seriously ill after the cut. The sarcoma grew back and it was fine. It was fine and normal. After a few struggles, my family finally got used to it. But now I have to say that if a doctor or someone with skills can solve this problem, I will pay a lot of money. Remuneration, so we dare to talk about it here."
At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties at the table next to him couldn't help but laugh: "If you want to say that Mr. Che has to thank this sarcoma, otherwise he wouldn't have found out that his third daughter-in-law cheated and gave birth to two grandchildren. None of them are from the ? family."
"Haha..." After hearing this, many people also laughed, obviously knowing about this. Lin Haoming asked: "What's going on?"
"This is not simple. All the descendants of the old man have sarcoma, but the third son and two children do not have it. Everyone can think of what happened, and it didn't take half a month to find out." The man laughed.
"You deserve it!" At this time, Lin Haoming suddenly heard Wuniu yelling.
So he asked: "Wanniu, why are you talking?"
"Sir, you don't know that the third daughter-in-law always bullies my second sister because she is the eldest son of a concubine. This is evil retribution," Wuniu said.
"Oh, this little brother, is there anyone else in your family working at your house?" The middle-aged man was stunned and asked one more question. Seeing that the tone of his words just now was different from the coachman's, it was clear that he didn't have a great impression of his family.
Wuniu just smiled and said nothing.
Lin Haoming saw that Wu Niu was really a smart man. He didn't say much on the outside, but he was open-minded in his heart.
"Is there anything else going on at home now?" Lin Haoming continued to ask the coachman.
The coachman also heard Wuniu's words and understood that the reason why the young master wanted to hear about the family's affairs was probably because of the guy next to him, so he also changed his storytelling style and asked with a smile: "What do you want to hear about the young master?" of?"
"It's related to strange things." Lin Haoming said directly.
"If there's anything else strange, it's that the third daughter-in-law of our family was beaten to death for stealing. It's rumored that the third daughter-in-law's house is haunted. But this time we invited a mage to perform the ritual, and it's all right. There's really nothing else. Already." The coachman said thoughtfully.
"Are there any other strange things in Baoyu County? Those who are currently there, or those who have the practice of subjugating demons and exorcising ghosts, can tell you." Lin Haoming continued to ask.
"There were strange things before, but now it's just a family matter." The coachman thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the middle-aged man in his thirties took the initiative and said: "There is really nothing in this county, and the county magistrate's seal is there to control it, so weird things are unlikely to happen. There are some outside the city, to the north, almost there." Outside Baoyu County, there is a Tianshui Village, and there is a fairy girl in the village."
"I also remembered this. There is indeed such a fairy girl. Most people call her He Xiangu." The coachman also started talking. Obviously he felt that he had to say something after receiving the money.
"Which River Fairy?" Lin Haoming asked.
The coachman immediately answered: "She is the River Fairy of a river. Tianshui Village is close to the Shengjing River. It is said that the River Fairy can talk to the River God and borrow the River God's power. But the most important thing is to pray for rain. In other aspects It seems that she doesn’t have much magical power. I vaguely remember that after a strange incident happened in my family, I also went to invite this He Xiangu, but she seemed to leave after she came. Moreover, Tianshui Village is far away from the county seat, and not many people know about it. I didn’t know it for a while. Think about it."
"Not only can it pray for rain, but it can also ward off evil spirits." The middle-aged man immediately answered.
"Exorcism? How to exorcise evil?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I don't know about this. It seems that people who are possessed by evil spirits should go to the river to practice it, but I really don't know how. But it is indeed effective, but the price is very high."
"If that's the case, wouldn't the sarcomas in the family be possessed by evil spirits?" Wuniu interjected and asked, after all, it was related to his second sister.
"This should be it!" the middle-aged man said uncertainly.
"Thank you for letting me know. I'll bring you a bottle of wine here and I'll charge it to my account." Lin Haoming said generously.
Hearing Lin Haoming do this, other people immediately began to tell stories. They were all stories they had heard. However, most of Lin Haoming knew as soon as they heard it. They were either making it up now or listening to other people's nonsense. What really made Lin Haoming feel What is somewhat interesting is the story about the stone monster told by the middle-aged man at the same table with a man who is more than ten years older than him. However, because it did not happen in Baoyu County, it has nothing to do with the current matter. However, the stone monster happened. Near the border with Ming Dynasty, he would have to go sooner or later, but Lin Haoming made a note of it.
Lin Haoming also knew that the people on this table were actually bodyguards who protected people. It was no wonder that they traveled a lot and had a lot of experience. Moreover, as long as it was not a conflict of interest, it didn't matter if they just said a few words.
After chatting for a while, Lin Haoming knew that the middle-aged man in his early forties was named Zuo Heng, a bodyguard leader, and that the man in his thirties was his nephew named Zuo Bao. The people sitting at the two nearby tables were all There were fifteen escorts in total, as well as some coachmen and porters, but they did not eat together.
By the time they were done chatting and the night was getting late, Lin Haoming and Wuniu entered the reserved room together.
The two of them lived in the same room. Before going to bed, Lin Haoming also asked about the affairs of the family with great interest. Wuniu didn't know much about most of the affairs of the family, but he knew a lot about the matters related to his second sister and second brother-in-law, so he also I talked for half an hour.
The old man in the family has three sons and three daughters. The rules here are that regardless of gender, men and women are ranked according to their eldest son. The eldest son and second daughter are both born to his wife, and they are also his children before the war, so they are older. The third daughter-in-law was born by a concubine. The distant cousin of the first wife became a dowry maid. Because of this relationship, the third daughter-in-law developed a habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She obeyed the words of her direct children, but was not so polite to those who were born from a concubine. The three children behind the old man The children were all born after returning from the army. The fourth child was a girl, also born to his wife, and was also her last child. The fifth child was born to a concubine that the old man later married. This concubine was originally from a scholarly family. Secondly, her family was within the battlefield of the war with the Ming Dynasty. Because of the war, the family was destroyed and everyone was destroyed. In the end, she had no way to follow? The old man.
Because this concubine was born in a wealthy family and was well-educated, the old man also liked her very much. Therefore, she also loved the fifth child. Because of this, she was jealous of the third child’s biological mother. In the end, she died after seeing her son marry a wife. The old man also because As a result, his already poor body and bones completely failed him, and he eventually had to come back to take care of his old age. Fortunately, the eldest son was quite promising, and later became the chief registrar in the county. Most of the family affairs were handled by the eldest son, so he could be regarded as the leader of the family. host.
