Holy Bone

Chapter 839
Gu'er Village is an ordinary small mountain village that relies on mountains to eat mountains. The green hills are secluded and the smoke is curling up. There are [-] or [-] families at the foot of the mountain.

As it got dark, the peasants in the paddy fields washed off the dirt on their bodies in the stream outside the village, then carried hoes on their shoulders, stepped on the ridge with bare feet, and walked towards the entrance of the village together.

These peasants yelled at a pile of straw, and immediately ran out a few children laughing and chasing after them, calling out daddy, daddy, and with the setting sun, fathers carrying hoes led their children in their hands. hands, talking and laughing and walking towards their home.

When they reached the entrance of the village, several rural black dogs, yellow dogs and white dogs, who were chasing the orange cat up a tree, immediately gave up the orange cat and ran towards their master happily wagging their tails.

Cooking smoke curled up, and the aroma of food wafted over Gu'er Village, and soon after, the voices of hostesses shouting for food could be heard.

The scenes of large and small figures under the setting sun are the warmth of the famous family.

After eating, every family sat around the entrance of the village, watching the last sunset and bloody sky, and began to talk about the vision of short days and long nights in recent days.

There was only one house in front of which was particularly deserted. An old yellow dog with a white beard and nose was lying listlessly under the eaves to enjoy the shade.

Suddenly, the voices of the villagers at the entrance of the village became quiet. The very old yellow dog also raised his head at this time, opened his cloudy old eyes and looked towards the direction of the entrance of the village, then stood up and barked.

"Dahuang, why did your beard turn white? It's me, have you forgotten Xiaonan? Once I mischievously hid my parents from swimming in the river and almost drowned. In the end, you jumped into the water and rescued me..."

The child standing outside the yard was talking about past memories. The old yellow dog with dim eyes seemed to understand human nature and knew that the child had no malicious intentions. It stopped yelling at the child and began to circle around the child suspiciously. Smell the body.

After confirming it for a long time, it carefully touched the back of the child's hand with the tip of its nose, feeling the familiar body temperature and touch. The old yellow dog whimpered and shed tears like a human, whimpering non-stop, licking the child back and forth. s face.

Seeing Da Huang recognized him, Zhi Tong was also happy to hug Da Huang and laugh out loud.

"What happened outside Rhubarb, who were you calling at just now?" At this moment, an elderly man's voice came from the house, and a farmer in his 30s with a sad expression came out of the house.

Dad, a yell with tears rolling in his eyes made the old man freeze in place.

"Dashan, I heard Xiaonan's voice just now. Is our Xiaonan back?" A rural woman with an apron on her waist ran out of the room in a panic. She was only about 30 years old, and her face was dark. Wrinkles and semi-white hair, leaving a strong trace of time.

Seeing the countless young figures standing outside the courtyard who had been worrying about day and night, the old woman was as stunned as the old man, her cheeks were wet with tears, but she dared not recognize each other, fearing that it would be another empty dream.

With a cry of "Father, mother, I finally found a home", the old woman could no longer hold back her longing for ten years, met the child, and cried with her head in her arms.

In the end, the family of three hugged each other and cried loudly. Even the old yellow dog seemed to have regained the vigor of ten years ago, barking and barking all the time, and his tail was wagging like he was about to fly.

I don't know when, outside the yard of this family, many villagers gathered around, all surprised and nervous looking at the figure of a child who hadn't grown up in ten years.

"Li, Lizheng, you said he is a man or a ghost, is it really Xiaonan who has come back?" A villager stammered so nervously that his tongue was tied.

Another villager also echoed nervously: "Why don't we go to the neighboring village and ask Mr. to come and take a look? Don't think that our Guer Village really recruited some unclean things pretending to be Xiaonan to kill Zhang Dashan's family."

Just when the villagers were talking and discussing, and Lizheng was a little undecided, at this time, two outsiders came from Gu'er Village, a young Taoist priest, and a tall, stout middle-aged man.

"I'm sorry to bother you benefactors. The two of us have been traveling all the way, traveling day and night. We are thirsty and passing by your place. Could you please buy two bowls of tea for the two of us?" The young Taoist got off his mount, looked at the courtyard and hugged each other and cried. The family of three clapped their hands together and smiled.

"Be careful, Taoist priest, he is..." A well-meaning villager wanted to remind him, but then he heard Xiao Nan's joyful shout.

"Brother Taoist and kind fat uncle, how do you know that my family lives here!"

The villagers of Gu'er Village were really dumbfounded this time, their faces were confused, and they felt that their brains were muddled for a while, and their thinking was not enough.

Lizheng, who went to the county town for a few years in a private school when he was a child, saw a wide market. He looked at Xiaonan and the Taoist with a thoughtful expression, and asked the villagers to keep quiet about it until he went to Zhang Dashan's house to ask about it in person. Make the next step after clarifying the situation.

After Lizheng finished speaking, he walked into Zhang Dashan with a smile: "I met two guests from other places. I don't know how to call them?"

"The old man doesn't need to be so polite, just call him Fatty Li and call me Jin'an." This young Taoist was exactly Jin'an who followed Xiao Nan all the way to Gu'er Village, and the other person was naturally Fatty Li Que.

"So it's Daoist Jin'an, Li Xiashi." Li Zheng cupped his hands.

Lizheng turned his head to look at Zhitong again, and looked up and down: "Xiao Nan, do you still remember Grandpa Lizheng?"

"Of course Xiaonan knows Uncle Lizheng, and the rhubarb was given to me by you, Uncle Lizheng, but why are you and your parents getting old, Uncle Lizheng? It seems that many people in the village are getting old?" the childish voice said curiously. .

At this time, Zhang Dashan and his wife wiped the tears from their faces, hurriedly invited Jin An and Fatty Li into the house, and brought sour plum soup to quench their thirst.

"There is no tea at home to entertain guests, only this jar of sour plum soup. Drinking sour plum soup in summer is the most refreshing." Zhang Dashan and his wife are very enthusiastic. Seeing that Jin An and Li Fatty have delicate skin and tender meat, they are different from rough countrymen like them. He wiped the wooden stool with his sleeve, but the two hurriedly stopped him.

"There's no need to do that. We are the ones to bother you. It would be better to have sour plum soup." The two drank three bowls of sour plum soup in a row, boasting that it was delicious, embarrassing Zhang Dashan, a pair of honest farmers.

Xiao Nan also gulped down the sour plum soup, saying that it tasted the same as in his memory. When Zhang Dashan and his wife heard this, their eyes turned red and they couldn't help crying again.

"Xiao Nan, do you still remember the pear tree in my yard? You used to be mischievous and often climbed the tree to steal pears when I was not around. Once you fell from the tree and lay on the bed for a month. Lizheng looked at Xiao Nan kindly, and said that the distinguished guests came today, and asked Xiao Nan to pick a few pears to fill the stomachs of the distinguished guests.

As he said that, Li was calling for someone to explain a few words to take Xiao Nan to pick pears. Even the big yellow dog, who was old and sluggish, seemed to come back to life when he saw the little master's return, wagging his tail to accompany the little master to go inside Zhengjia.

When Xiaonan left, Lizheng's face changed into a solemn expression, he got up and bowed his hands to Jin'an: "Although the peasants in the country don't know much, they have seen many people with their eyes. The Taoist priest can see that he has real skills." An expert, do you still hope that the Taoist priest will tell Xiao Nan what's going on?"

Zhang Dashan and his wife also looked at Jin An nervously.

For a while, the room was extremely quiet, and the three pairs of eyes looked forward to the young Taoist priest in front of him.

Jin An didn't answer right away, but instead asked, "Do you know what Xiao Nan's greatest wish is?"

"He said he was homesick, and said he would never run away from home again in a fit of anger."

"A young boy, eager to return home, came to Gu'er Village from Fucheng, and ran home day and night all the way, without a single stop for fun, even if he was tired and hungry, he would eat and sleep in the open."

Next, Jin An began to slowly narrate what happened to Xiao Nan, but he deliberately concealed the fact that Xiao Nan was abducted by human traffickers and made a pile of life. Instead, he lied in good faith that Xiao Nan accidentally slipped and drowned, and his bones drifted along the river to the vicinity of Fucheng. Fucheng Yamen temporarily stored the bones in Yizhuang after finding the bones, and has been helping Xiao Nan find his family and confirm his identity.

It's just that Gu'er Village is too far away from Fucheng, and Xiaonan's family has never been found, so he used the technique of exorcising corpses to temporarily return Xiaonan to Yang, but when he came back, he had a wish, and at the same time, he wanted to confirm Xiaonan's identity.

After listening to Xiao Nan's experience, even Li Zheng, who has experienced the ups and downs of his life for most of his life, couldn't help but sigh, saying that Xiao Nan was the one who watched Xiao Nan grow up, and he didn't expect so many things to happen to this child.

Hearing that Xiao Nan was dead, although she was mentally prepared to see that Xiao Nan hadn't grown up in ten years, Mrs. Zhang still couldn't bear the blow, and she was overly sad.When Mrs. Zhang woke up again, she burst into tears with grief, hugged Zhang Dashan and wept bitterly.

As the pillar of the family, Zhang Dashan gritted his teeth not to let himself, the pillar of the family, fall down first. He forced his heart to feel sad, and asked Jin An with red eyes, how long will Xiao Nan live?
Jin An shook his head with a solemn expression: "His memory still stays at the time when he just left home ten years ago. His biggest wish this time back in Yangyang is to go home and see his parents. Let's help him fulfill this childlike wish together. Don't expose the truth."

Hey, poor child, Lizheng sighed sadly, and then said that he would explain this to the villagers, saying that after Xiaonan disappeared, he fell into a serious illness, and his body never grew up, staying at the age of seven or eight.

"Good." Jin An smiled and nodded, saying that in the next few days, let these adults help Xiao Nan realize his dreams together, and hope that his next life will be happy, carefree, and able to reincarnate with peace of mind.

"I would like to thank Daoist Li Xiashi of Jin'an for his great kindness to our family. I can't repay you. Please accept the kneeling of our husband and wife." , Fatty Li stopped.

Jin An said: "You have repaid your kindness by inviting us to drink sour plum soup to quench our thirst."

Fatty Li also said that this is the reason, you pay for what you pay, don't feel indebted to us anymore, you should spend more time with your child in the next few days, and don't let him go with regrets.

For the next seven days, Jin An and Fatty Li lived together in Gu Er Village. When Xiao Nan came back and learned the news of the two living together, he danced with joy. The child imitated the adults and brought clean bedding for the two in person at night. Make the bed for the two of you yourself.

In this way, Jin'an and Fatty Li stayed at Xiaonan's house for seven days. During this period, Xiaonan was very sensible to share the housework for the family, sweeping the floor, cleaning the table, helping to mow the fields together, and helping his mother hold the oil lamp to mend clothes at night. Washing my father's feet every night... It seems that I have grown up and become more sensible all of a sudden. I have endless things to do every day, and I keep the house in order. Even the silly sheep was temporarily lent to Xiaonan by Jinan, and he was put on a ox plow. Paddy fields are plowed.

The more sensible Xiao Nan came back this time, the more grief Zhang Dashan and his wife felt. They secretly wiped their tears countless times. How could parents not feel sorry for their children? They advised Xiao Nan not to work so hard, but Xiao Nan still kept busy at home every day chores.

The world of children is always innocent and innocent. Ever since Jin’an let the goats accompany Xiao Nan to plow the fields, the children in Gu’er Village have been curiously looking around the goats every day. Chasing and playing, green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, peaceful mountain villages, carefree.

Happy time is always short, when the moon is always full, and when people get together, on the seventh day, the villagers all came to Zhang Dashan's house to see the children off.

The toddler whose wish was fulfilled left peacefully in his sleep, with a peaceful and happy smile on his face. At this moment, he is no longer a homeless, separated from his parents, who was suffocated to death in Zhenhai Stone A ghost, but a family child who went home to see his parents for the last time and fulfilled his last filial piety.

Folks say that people whose deadline is approaching will perceive it in advance and arrange funeral affairs in advance.

This child has done many things in the last seven days of his life. Does he really not know that his time is approaching?

In front of Xiaonan's grave, Jin'an, who personally sent Xiaonan off for the last journey, looked at the grave in front of him with complicated eyes, and did not move for a long time.

When the funeral team returned to Zhang Dashan's home, they found that the old yellow dog was dead, curled up and sleeping beside the little master's bed.

Dogs are spiritual, let alone humans?

The big yellow dog has a white beard, and a dog in his teens is equivalent to a human being who is 80 to [-] years old. These days, he runs back and forth with his little master every day, as if returning to ten years ago. On the last journey, it closed its already tired eyes.

Fatty Li couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and the elders were crying, but no one laughed at him. In the end, Fatty Li dug a hole himself, buried the loyal dog next to Xiaonan's grave, and carved the dog's tombstone himself.

What happened in Guer Village, Jin An and Fatty Li stayed for another day to recite the meditation mantra to Zhang Dashan and his wife to help them unravel their great grief and sorrow, and only set off to return to Fucheng on the third day.

Although he had just experienced what happened to Xiao Nan, Jin An's inner sadness hadn't come out yet, but it was precisely because of what happened to Xiao Nan that he was deeply touched, and he kept helping those poor children from their backgrounds come back to Yang to fulfill their last wish. In a short period of time, I saw a lot of sorrow and helplessness in the world.

It is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself. In this world, it is easy to heal others. Who will survive Jin'an at this moment?
"Is this the exorcism technique?" After sending off the last child, Jin An looked at the long night along the ancient road, his back was lonely.
