Si Heng was convinced by me.
In fact, I can also see that Si Heng also doesn’t want anything to happen to Shuo Bai. When he came to stop me, it was more because he couldn't get past the hurdle in his own heart.
He has given in. If I were to return to the person he remembered, he wasn't sure if he could still treat me the way he does now. By then, if he gives in, he will suffer even more. If he doesn't give in, Shuo Bai and I will suffer.
Si Heng said that he needed help to call him. Then left.
I closed the window and lay on the kang. My mind was in a mess, but there was an idea that seemed extremely firm and clear amidst the chaos.
I want to save Shuo Bai and try my best to save him!
I don't know how long I lay there, but I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by a burst of crying.
"Uncle, please call Xiao Ning to come out and take a look. Something happened to my family. I kowtow to Grandma Xian and Grandpa Xian. Come and save my man..." A middle-aged woman came in crying.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voices of my father and my grandmother urging the woman, and calling me to get up.
I went to bed late last night and I haven't slept enough yet. When I opened my eyes, I was completely confused.
I stared at the beams in a daze for a while. When I regained my consciousness, I sat up, got dressed and went out.
I know the middle-aged woman who cried. She is the proprietress of the meat shop in our village. The owner of the meat shop is named Zhao. I call him Uncle Zhao and the wife of the owner, Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao sat on her knees on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying.
She was wearing a dirty cotton jacket and trousers, no coat, a large apron hanging on her body, and sleeves on her arms. The apron and sleeves were made of leather, stained with blood and oil. Now a layer of soil has been mixed in, making it look dirtier.
The cooked food sold in his store is all made by Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao themselves. Looking at Aunt Zhao's outfit, she must have been cooking meat or something before she came to my house.
My grandma stood aside, anxiously trying to pull Aunt Zhao up, but she was too old and couldn't pull her up at all.
My father helped my grandma aside and said, "Old lady, stop helping me. If your old waist gets out of the way later, our family will be in a hurry and we don't know who to save first."
My grandma sighed and said she was old, and was helped by my father to sit next to her.
Seeing me walking out of the house, Aunt Zhao suddenly became energetic. She knelt down and crawled towards me, "Xiao Ning, Auntie is kowtowing to you. Please quickly invite the Xian family out and save your uncle..." "
The younger generation will lose their life if they accept the courtesy from the elders.
How dare I accept such a great gift from her? Seeing that I couldn't hide, my knees weakened and I knelt down in front of her.
When I knelt down, Aunt Zhao was stunned.
She even forgot to cry, with tears on her face, she glanced at me in confusion, then turned to look behind her, "Xiao Ning, is there a fairy family standing behind me? In which direction? Which direction should I face? kowtow?"
"Aunt Zhao, there's no need to kowtow," I quickly grabbed her arm, looked at her and said, "What's wrong with my Uncle Zhao? You have to explain it clearly, otherwise I can't help you."
When I mentioned Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao's tears rolled down again, and she said anxiously, "Your Uncle Zhao is out of breath... Last night, your Uncle Zhao and I had the same dream, and there was a great bird immortal in the dream. Bird." Daxian said that he likes to eat our roast chicken and pig's trotters very much, and asked my family to cook more today.
After I wake up from the dream, I will discuss with you, Uncle Zhao, that this is the request of the Immortal family, and we do not dare to neglect it. Moreover, the Xian family likes to eat the food made by my family, which is my family’s honor. At around four o'clock in the morning, your Uncle Zhao went to the market to purchase goods. "
In order to ensure the freshness of the food, Uncle Zhao specially bought live chickens and ducks, and also made a special trip to the slaughterhouse to buy the freshest pig's trotters.
After buying the ingredients, the couple thought about it. Making cooked food today was different from the past. Today's cooked food was for the immortal family, so before killing the chickens and ducks, the couple followed the example on TV and worshiped the chickens and ducks. The purpose of bowing three times is to express their importance to the Xian family and their sincerity.
After kowtowing, Aunt Zhao went to boil hot water, and Uncle Zhao began to kill the chicken.
Anyone who has ever killed a chicken knows that the head of the chicken can be chopped off, and the body of the chicken can run around the yard.
Uncle Zhao is a cook and is skilled in killing chickens. He grabbed a chicken, wiped its neck with a knife, and then threw the chicken into a prepared iron cage with a large basin underneath.
Because of the pain, the chicken will keep flopping in the cage. The more it flops, the faster the wound on the chicken's neck will bleed, and the blood will drip into the large basin below. After the chicken flutters for a period of time, it will completely die and stop moving.
The first few chickens were killed smoothly, but when it came to the last big rooster, something happened.
After Uncle Zhao wiped the big cock's neck, the big cock must have hurt. He broke away from Uncle Zhao's hand, fluttered his wings, and hit Uncle Zhao's heart hard.
Uncle Zhao was hit so hard that he fell to the ground on his back and stopped moving at that time.
The big rooster seemed to be resentful, jumped on Uncle Zhao's face, and scratched Uncle Zhao's face with its claws.
It was Aunt Zhao who ran over and beat the big rooster away with a wooden stick, preventing Uncle Zhao from being disfigured.
Aunt Zhao angrily chased and beat the big rooster. After the big rooster lay on the ground and stopped moving, Aunt Zhao noticed that Uncle Zhao was still lying on the ground. She threw away the stick and ran to Uncle Zhao to check, and found that Uncle Zhao had died.
"Xiao Ning, please help me. Is there something I did wrong that offended the Xian family? If there is anything I did wrong, I will correct it. I only ask the gentlemen of the Xian family to spare my man's life. This year my man Only forty-six, still young..."
Aunt Zhao cried very hard.
The way she looked made it hard for me to say that maybe I couldn't control it.
I can control the evil spirits, but Uncle Zhao was knocked down by a big rooster and died. He didn't encounter evil spirits!
His death may have been due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage when he fell, or it may have been caused by other diseases. Although the death was sudden, this kind of death was normal. I can't control this situation.
Aunt Zhao placed all her hopes on me. Her sad look made it impossible for me to refuse to help her.
I said, "Aunt Zhao, let's go to your house first and let me meet Uncle Zhao."
Aunt Zhao nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's go now."
I helped Aunt Zhao stand up, and Aunt Zhao asked me again, "Xiao Ning, do you want to go back to the house to get the magic weapon? What if it's an evil ghost and you can't fight it?"
"There is no need to take the magic weapon," I said, "The Immortal family is following me, I just go."
After hearing what I said, Aunt Zhao's eyes became even hotter when she looked at me. She must be thinking that if I am so powerful, I will definitely be able to save Uncle Zhao.
I suddenly felt a burst of pressure, and as I walked, I was thinking about how to make Aunt Zhao accept Uncle Zhao's death.
On the way, I asked Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao, does Uncle Zhao have heart disease, high blood pressure or other diseases?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head, "No, he's just forty-six, as strong as an ox, and doesn't have any diseases."
I asked this question in vain.
How many rural people know how to do physical examinations? Even if Uncle Zhao has a hidden disease, they probably don't know about it.
At this time, Aunt Zhao said again, "Xiao Ning, I suspect there is something wrong with that big rooster. Think about it, how powerful can a chicken be? How could it knock my man to death in one fell swoop?"
That big rooster must have turned into a monster. My man wiped its neck with a knife, so it killed my man. This is revenge on my family. Xiao Ning, do you think my guess is correct? "
I laughed twice and didn't answer.
Uncle Zhao was unprepared and was knocked down by a big rooster. This was something that could happen.
The more I listened, the more I felt that this was just an ordinary accident and that I had no control over it.
This thought continued until I arrived at Aunt Zhao's home.
When I entered the small courtyard, I was stunned when I saw the big rooster lying motionless on the ground after being knocked unconscious by Aunt Zhao.
