immortal?
Mingsong and Tian Zhenzhen looked at each other.
Several children also widened their eyes in surprise.
Mingxi tried his best to make his expression heavier and his tone as low as possible, "I know it's hard for people to believe it, but since we are a family, I don't want to hide it from you. Things started a year ago. rise……"
She started making it up.
He said that a year ago, before he was divorced, an old Taoist priest passed by the door of Lin's house. The Taoist priest was dressed in rags, with messy white hair, a long beard, and his whole body was dirty and smelly.
Whether he was hungry or tired, the old Taoist priest sat down by the door to rest.
Out of good intentions, she gave the old Taoist priest a bun, and the old Taoist wolfed it down. She was afraid that the old Taoist priest would choke, so she gave him half a bowl of water.
When the old Taoist priest had finished eating and drinking, he looked up at her and said that she was about to be in trouble.
Of course she didn't believe it.
As a result, the old Taoist priest suddenly stretched out a finger, tapped her eyebrows, and said that she would suffer for a year, and then left.
At the time, she felt it was baffling and she just thought the other person was a lunatic, so she told no one about it. Who would have thought that later she was kicked out of the house by the Lin family, had neither food nor clothing, and was slandered by rumors and slanders. She really suffered for a year.
After the one-year period was over, she began to have frequent dreams, and the old Taoist priest always appeared in her dreams. However, the old Taoist priest in the dream was no longer dirty, but had a fairy-like air and Taoist bones, like a god.
The old god claimed to be a Taoist priest, and said that he was destined to have a relationship with her. The point between his eyebrows was to help her become enlightened. The old god also taught her some self-defense spells in her dream.
Oddly enough, since dreaming about this old god, Ming Xi felt that her mind was getting clearer and clearer, as if she understood a lot of things that she didn't understand before for no reason, but she couldn't tell whether the dream was true or false.
She encountered a wild boar today. She was afraid that the wild boar would hurt the children around her. In a moment of panic, she used the magic taught by the gods. Unexpectedly, the magic really worked. The wild boar suddenly fell to the ground!
——Ming Xi’s serious nonsense was so meticulously compiled that even he almost believed it.
"Anyway, that's what happened." She sighed, looked at her brother and sister-in-law and said, "This matter is too mysterious. No one will believe it if I tell it. If it really gets spread, they might even think of me as a monster. It’s good for our family to know.”
Everyone couldn't digest it for a while, and they all remained silent.
Snap.
There was a sound from the other side of the wall, like something falling to the ground.
Mingxi followed the sound and thought: No way, right? It can't be such a coincidence, right? I just finished speaking and someone overheard me?
"Big Zhuang and Er Zhuang, you two go and take a look." Tian Zhenzhen whispered nervously.
The two brothers nodded, climbed onto the firewood pile in the yard, lay on the wall and looked out.
Outside the wall is a weed field, and a few meters away is the courtyard wall of neighbor Mrs. He's house. There is a big willow tree between the two houses.
The two brothers jumped down from the pile of firewood and shook their heads at everyone.
"Maybe it's a mouse..." Tian Zhenzhen whispered uncertainly.
Ming Xi smiled helplessly, "Forget it, even if someone hears this kind of thing, they probably won't believe it."
Erzhuang approached Mingxi and asked curiously: "Auntie, can you perform one for us? What are the spells taught by the gods like?"
"No!" Ming Song changed his usual gentleness and looked very serious, "How can the magic taught by the gods be used as a performance? This is disrespectful!"
Ming Xi also nodded, "Well, spells are used to save lives and cannot be performed. However, I have a lot of knowledge in my head and can teach you in the future."
"What kind of knowledge?" Tian Zhenzhen asked quickly.
"For example..." Mingxi thought for a moment, and it was okay to tell them in advance. In the future, he would find ways to make money, and he would not be able to do without the support of his relatives and friends. Telling him now could be regarded as a preliminary step.
"For example, I know that something can be used to wash clothes, which is better than wheat bran and saponin. Adding herbs to this product can be used for bathing and nourishing the skin."
"For another example, I know something like transparent porcelain that can be used to make teapots and teacups. If the shape is right, it can also be used as a window."
"Also, I also know a thing that can make a thunderous sound, and can explode rocks if used properly."
Everyone became more and more confused as they listened, and seemed to find it difficult to understand. Listening to Ming Xi's description, their faces showed incredible expressions.
Mingxi felt that she should say something else, um... something magical knowledge that would make people believe that she was powerful right away.
"Let's see..." She thought for a moment and spoke again, "There was a cage containing chickens and rabbits at the same time. Someone counted them and found that there were 14 heads and 38 legs in the cage. You know the chickens and rabbits in the cage? How many are they?"
Ming Xi puffed up his chest slightly, "I know everything about how to solve arithmetic problems like this."
This time everyone understood, and everyone looked shocked!
Sure enough, no matter what era it is, math problems will always be unattainable!
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang had gone to school for two years, but they had never practiced arithmetic. They could not figure it out even after counting on their fingers for a long time.
Ye'er and Manjing looked at Mingxi with curiosity and admiration, and asked, "Mom, can you really count how many chickens and rabbits there are?"
"Well, it's very simple." Ming Xi said with a smile, "There are nine chickens and five rabbits in total."
"It's really..." Da Zhuang pushed back with the results and was amazed, "Auntie is so amazing."
Erzhuang also nodded fiercely, "Auntie can go to the county to be a bookkeeper!"
Mingsong was surprised and happy. He held Tian Zhenzhen's hands and suppressed his joy and said, "My sister has never learned arithmetic! The gods have really appeared! The gods are blessing Axi!"
Tian Zhenzhen was also excited and held her husband's hand, "This is a great thing. Should I buy some sacrifices to honor the gods? Do you want to find a Taoist temple to ask?"
"No, no, no, no, no!" Ming Xi couldn't laugh or cry, "Those enshrined in Taoist temples are not Xilu Taoists, and they might conflict with other gods, brother, sister-in-law. I feel that the gods teach me these things in order to let me live my life. Living a good life is not for us to enshrine or worship."
Mingsong and Tian Zhenzhen gradually calmed down after listening to Mingxi's words.
"Axi is right." Tian Zhenzhen thought about it seriously, "Now that I am lucky enough to be enlightened by the gods, I can no longer live in a muddle."
"That's right." Ming Song also nodded, "If you want to be a good person, you can't let down the good intentions of the gods."
Mingxi laughed, "I must be a good person, but the gods have put too many things in my mind. I'm still a little confused now. When I get home, I have to think about it and clear my head."
"Then you go back and rest, and don't do anything else yet." Tian Zhenzhen looked serious and summoned her two sons again, "Big Zhuang, Er Zhuang, when you are full, go to the river to help you carry two buckets of water. "
Then he said to Mingxi: "I will go to your place tomorrow and tidy up the vegetable patch in the yard for you. If there is any heavy work at home, just let your brother know and let him go."
Mingxi grinned, "Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."
The family is in harmony.
And under an old willow tree outside the wall of the Ming family, Mrs. He covered her beating heart with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Oh my god, what did I hear..."
