Mrs. Tan didn't come over for dinner at night because she had made it clear to Yang Huazhong and the others at Lao Wang's house.
Since Hongmei might come to snatch Zhuangzhuang at any time, Tan planned to stay at Lao Wang's house for a few days to keep Yang Huamei company.
Therefore, Lao Wang's family is naturally responsible for taking care of food, drink, and diarrhea.
Old Yang was picked up by Yang Huazhou at night, so at the dinner table of Yang Huazhong's family at night, there was the simple family of Yang Huazhong.
The three sisters and children, as well as Daan Xiaohua and his wife.
The sumptuousness of the dishes on the dinner table is no less than that of the midday meal.
After dinner, Yang Huazhong and Daan directly hitched the carriage, hung a windproof wind lantern on the front of the carriage, and the father and son took Xiaoduo's family of four back to Xiangjiazhuang.
Yang Ruoqing originally had no intention of going, but she thought of something and was so blessed that she followed behind.
Just think that you have eaten too much at night and go out for a walk to eat.
The carriage went all the way to Xiangjiazhuang and had to pass by the river dam behind the village.
In winter, the water level of the river drops to an appalling level. The river is basically filled with silt and withered aquatic plants. The water in the deepest part is estimated to be up to the knees.
The carriage wheels creaked in front, and the faint voices of Yang Huazhong and others could be heard.
Yang Ruoqing hurriedly followed the carriage, heading towards Xiangjiazhuang.
When she was about to pass 'a tree', Yang Ruoqing turned her head and looked in the direction of the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is built at the foot of the mountain, facing the river at the foot of the mountain, and the other three sides are surrounded by woods.
Two lanterns hung under the eaves in front of the Taoist temple, swaying in the night wind.
The door of the Taoist temple was closed tightly. Last night was New Year's Eve, so the door of the Taoist temple was wide open because many nearby villagers like to come to the Taoist temple on New Year's Eve to grab the 'first incense' at midnight.
After New Year's Eve, at any other time, the doors of Taoist temples will be closed at night to thank visitors.
It was dark and dim all around, and Wei Wei Mian Niu Shan lay quietly in the vast night, like an ancient beast opening its huge black mouth, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
The two lanterns swaying endlessly in the wind are more like the blood-red eyes of the giant beast.
If coupled with the opening song of the old version of "Liao Zhai", it would be a horror movie here!
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense that the aura of a place like Taoist Temple is different from other places.
First of all, Taoist temples enshrine various great gods.
This is like a magnet. If there is some kind of dark matter, then everything will be attracted to it.
Thirdly, the location of this Taoist temple is also very special.
This place used to be a mass grave, no less terrifying than Jiangjiapo over the pasture to the east...
And when they were digging the foundation for the Taoist temple, they dug out a very big Tai Sui.
Because of that Tai Sui, it was even involved in a bunch of things about the villagers who were doing the construction at the time, going crazy, dying, and all kinds of weird events that science can't explain.
The carriage in front suddenly stopped.
Yang Ruoqing came to her senses, looked up, and saw the carriage slowly stopping on the river dam opposite the Taoist temple.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes were full of confusion.
Why did you still listen to it? Could it be that Xiaoduo and the others wanted to enter the Taoist temple temporarily?
But the Taoist temples are all closed.
Then, she saw Yang Huazhong get out of the carriage and walk towards the roadside.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and turned sideways.
Maybe my dad is going to come down and find a place to pee.
At that age, men will have some prostate problems, right?
I heard Mr. Sun say before that Yang Huazhong likes to get up at night when the weather gets cold. I wonder if he has eaten less lard recently and needs to make up for it...
Yang Ruoqing felt that if it were in the past, Sun's statement would still be very particular.
At that time, most people lived in poverty and could not get a trace of greasy smell. Some old men and women had so dry stomachs that they were tortured even when they pooped and pooped, and they needed family members to help them pick their butts.
There are even many people who are not motivated to work due to lack of oil and water, and even wet the bed at night.
When you eat a bowl of lard-fried food, your intestines and stomach will be immediately lubricated, and you can feel relieved when you pull off your pants.
I feel strong enough to work and don’t wet the bed at night.
But today's conditions of the Yang family, especially the condition of the third room of the Yang family, have achieved a qualitative leap. Therefore, the reason why my father frequently wakes up at night is definitely not because of lack of fuel and water, but because he is really old and the body is a machine. Routine failures require regular maintenance.
While Yang Ruoqing was thinking wildly, there was no sound of water being discharged from the carriage, but the sound of Daan and Shengnan talking.
"Brother, what is father-in-law looking at over there?"
"I don't know, and he didn't say anything. He just told us to wait in the car and don't get out. Let's go and have a look!"
Yang Ruoqing then turned around and saw Da'an and Xiang Shengnan walking towards the bridge by the river together.
About ten steps in front of them, Yang Huazhong was standing on the edge of the bridge, leaning forward and looking down.
There are no guardrails on the bridge, and Yang Huazhong's action of leaning forward and looking down looks very dangerous.
There seemed to be something attracting his attention under the bridge. His body leaned forward little by little, and his feet moved forward inch by inch. He saw that the body was about to bend into a ninety-degree bow. If he continued like this If you lean forward, your body will lose balance and plunge into the river under the bridge!
Daan and Xiang Shengnan quickened their pace.
Xiang Shengnan even shouted nervously: "Father-in-law, be careful!"
It's okay not to shout. When he shouted, the air fluctuations caused by the sound seemed to condense into an invisible force and went straight to Yang Huazhong's back.
Yang Huazhong suddenly came back to his senses, but his body shook violently at this moment, and he plunged under the bridge...
"father!"
"father in law!"
Daan and Xiang Shengnan were dumbfounded!
At this time, a figure jumped up from the side, chasing Yang Huazhong's figure and dived under the bridge. At that moment, Da'an and Xiang Shengnan vaguely saw what seemed to be Yang Ruoqing.
The two of them hurried to the bridge and looked down.
Then they saw Yang Ruoqing helping Yang Huazhong stand firmly by the river under the bridge, with several coils of whip wrapped around Yang Huazhong's waist.
The whip was Yang Ruoqing's personal possession. It was made of very particular materials, was flexible, could be retracted and unfolded freely, and could be nearly five meters long when fully extended.
Not only can it be used to beat people, but it can also be used to save people.
Da'an and Xiang Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yang Huazhong was safe and sound. They were about to go to the bridge to pick up Yang Huazhong and the others. Suddenly, Da'an noticed something was wrong with Xiang Shengnan beside him.
His eyes were staring straight at a certain place under the bridge, his face looked like he had seen a ghost, he was frightened, frightened, and even started to tremble.
He even murmured: "Female, female general?"
"Shengnan, what's wrong with you?" Da'an held Xiang Shengnan's shoulders and shook him a few times.
Xiang Shengnan came back to his senses. He looked around, with lingering fear on his face, "Here she comes, she comes again, come and take me back, no, I won't go back!"
