After a while, the two of them arrived in front of an arched door under the Qishi Pagoda, but they couldn't help but smell a foul smell. Hu Yingzi covered her nose and said to Du Juan, no wonder Taoist Tan didn't want to come. It turned out that the tower was really dirty. Dujuan said, let’s go in and have a look.
Hu Yingzi nodded, put the offerings outside first, and then entered through the arched tower door. He found that the floor below the fifth floor was hollow, with a staircase in the middle. When he went up to the fourth floor, he saw a stone statue on the shrine, which should be The God of the Tower, I saw that the God of the Tower had slightly bulging eyes, a straight nose, a smile on his face, and an amiable demeanor.
But the stone table in front of the shrine was empty, without any offerings. There were only some short burned incense candles scattered on it. It was a mess. An incense burner was broken into two pieces, leaving ashes on the stone floor. The sixth and seventh floors were solid installations. They climbed up and found piles of human feces under the ring-shaped walls.
After Hu Yingzi saw this, he said angrily that this might all be a prank by the three children. If there really was a pagoda god, he would really offend the pagoda god. She then went down to the fourth floor, bowed to the stone statue, and said, God of the Tower, I'm sorry, my child came here and did something stupid and offended you. As his mother, I would like to ask you to accompany him, please. Please forgive him and let him recover from his sudden madness as soon as possible. We promise to make this tower clean.
Du Juan also came over and bowed, imitating Hu Yingzi's words of apology to the pagoda god. Then he said to Hu Yingzi, we only have to sweep the tower. And he looked around, but there was no broom in sight. Hu Yingzi approached the tower window, glanced outside, and turned around and said, there was a bamboo broom outside the tower, and I don't know who threw it.
Du Juan said, maybe they are the three mischievous guys who skipped school. I immediately went down to pick up the bamboo broom and sweep the tower. Hu Yingzi stopped her and said that this was not about sweeping the tower, but washing it, otherwise the stink in the tower would not be removed. Dujuan said awkwardly that washing the tower would be troublesome. Hu Yingzi said with certainty, the trouble is not to wash it? This just reflects our sincerity as parents and allows God to forgive our children.
Hu Yingzi did as she was told, and of course she didn't do it alone. She went back and asked her husband Qi Liang to help and bring the buckets at home for watering the vegetable seedlings.
Du Juan's house was far away and she didn't go back. She also went to Hu Yingzi's house to get a water ladle and a wooden basin. Together they came down from Pagoda Mountain and went to Longpan River to fetch or carry water. They made countless trips back and forth, covering a distance of more than 200 meters, going up and down.
There is a section of the road from the riverside to the mountain that is particularly steep. Qi Gao was carrying a load of water, which was inevitably spilled on the road. When he arrived at the pagoda gate on the top of the mountain, the load of water was often only half full. Hu Yingzi and Du Juan were tired now and no longer took turns fetching or carrying water. They just ensured that the pagoda was cleaned, layer by layer, until the stinky smell disappeared, and then they put the offerings and other things away. He took it into the pagoda and offered it in front of the pagoda god, lit the incense and candles devoutly, bowed again, and said some words of apology for his child.
About a few hours later, it was getting late. Hu Yingzi, Qiliang and Du Juan all left Baota Mountain. Du Juan separated from them after crossing the Longpan River. She walked to Longpan Town and took a private car to Ward 3 of the County Psychiatric Hospital to visit her child Xia Gao. He and Long Lai were sleeping on the bed and had not yet woken up. It turned out that the doctor had given them chlorpheniramine, which temporarily controlled their laughing and giggling symptoms.
At about 9 o'clock in the evening, the sad-sounding giggle sounded from the bed again. Du Juan felt guilty and felt that her work in Pagoda Mountain was in vain and had no effect at all. The child was still the same. Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, he suddenly saw Xia Gao standing up, looking at her and his father and shouting, "Mom, Dad, why am I here?" Where here?
Seeing that Xia Gao had returned to normal, Du Juan said that this was a hospital. You started to get sick and became very ill, so we sent you here. Xia Fengnian was very happy. He didn't know what to say and said nothing. He hugged his son and kept kissing his face with his cheeks. Xia Gao said, Dad, Mom, let's go back. What's the point of staying in the hospital? Our family is not rich. Is it because we have too much money and don't have anything to spend? I'm not sick.
At this time, a nurse came in and saw that Xia Gao was well and Long Lai was still making that silly laugh, so she said, our doctors use the same medicine, how come one can cure the disease and the other can't? Dujuan snorted and said that it was not cured by the hospital. I went to Pagoda Mountain today to apologize to the pagoda god on behalf of the children. I cleaned up all the pagodas stained by the three children and placed the offerings. Forgive my child, and his madness will naturally heal.
You ghost said, I don’t believe it. If that's the case, why hasn't this young man's illness gotten better? The nurse pointed at the dragon. He looked more and more horrified as he laughed.
That's because his parents won't be forgiven unless they go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the pagoda god. Du Juan said straightforwardly, Xia Fengnian let go of Xia Gao and touched Du Juan, and gave her a white look, which meant that you were meddling in other people's business. If they don't go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the pagoda god, what does it have to do with you? How embarrassed would Longlai's parents be if you said this?
Du Juan stopped talking, smiled broadly, and reached out to touch her son's body. At first, when her son was in a state of madness, she also touched her heartache, but the feeling was completely different. She felt so at ease now! Xia Gao said, Mom, Dad, let’s go! After being discharged from the hospital, it was uncomfortable to stay in the hospital.
To be discharged from the hospital, I have to wait until work tomorrow to go through the formalities. It is late at night and I am already off work, so I cannot go through the discharge formalities. When the nurse said this, she was thinking about the conversation between Xia Gao and his mother. She sounded a little confused, because she had no idea about the prank the three bastards played in Pagoda Mountain.
Looking at her son Long Lai, who was still laughing and giggling, Ma Yingxing almost cried, feeling very unbalanced. It could be said that her child and Du Juan's child were sent to this mental hospital at the same time. Now, her child has recovered. It's normal, my children are still the same.
At this moment, she was scolding the dragon with a dull expression. "It's your fault. I don't believe what Xu Sijin said. If I were like Du Juan, I would go to Pagoda Mountain to apologize to the pagoda god for my child. Maybe now we The child has returned to normal. We can also go through the discharge procedures for the child tomorrow morning. Long Tiaoyu didn't know how to answer. He lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was silently reflecting on his own mistakes.
If you don’t trust hospitals so much, why do you send sick children to hospitals? The nurse who was about to go out walked to the door and turned around to question.
It’s not that I don’t believe in the hospital. Now that the facts are in front of me, I apologize to the Tower God for accompanying the child. The child is really well. Just think that I have successfully given my child a drug-free psychological treatment! When the cuckoo is happy, its voice becomes louder.
The nurse said again, you have to wait until tomorrow morning to go through the discharge procedures.
Long Laixu was tired. Although he was still laughing and giggling, his voice was obviously lighter. Ma Ginkgo pushed Long Lai Leap and said that I have to go to Pagoda Mountain tomorrow to apologize to the pagoda god for the child, otherwise Long Lai's madness will not be cured.
Du Juan interrupted, you should go too. It would be better to go with Long Lai's father. Now there is no need to clean the pagoda. Xu Sijin's mother and stepfather and I have already cleaned the inside of the pagoda. Of course you go and buy some offerings to offer in front of the pagoda god, asking the pagoda god to forgive the child's sins.
Ma Gingko nodded, with a look of helplessness on her face, which was particularly obvious under the light. Long Leap raised his head and glanced at Dujuan. He was very troubled, but he remained silent.
