Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 20

Thinking of the strange dream I had a few days ago, and this kind of weird thing happened at home, the fourth emperor also felt very puzzled.

On this day, he came to the Saihan Temple in Miaocha and found Hongdao.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, the four emperors asked Hongdao: "Ang, real person, do you know about ghosts?"

"Wuliangshou, what Mr. Xiaoru is talking about is that the broom in your house has reached perfection?" Hongdao asked.

"Oh, yes, the real person has also heard about it? I am very puzzled." Said from the fourth emperor, "What's even more strange is that some time ago, I had a dream. I dreamed that there was a pair of The long worm (snake) on the head is chasing me, and I want to ask the real person to make my dream come true."

Since the Fourth Emperor, he told Hongdao about the dream of the double-headed snake that night.

Hongdao closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said: "This year, Pindao wandered around the Northeast and found a lot of strange things. Let's just talk about the current situation. In the Northeast of China, there is a Manchukuo."

Hongdao was puzzled by the dream of the four emperors, but instead talked about the current situation: "Now, our Chilechuan is still the land of the Republic of China. But judging by the situation, the Japanese have long coveted this place! In a few days, I'm afraid this place will also be called Manchuria."

"Oh?! Why is it called Manchuria? The Republic of China is only a few days old." Said the Fourth Emperor.

"Yes. This Manchukuo really doesn't feel like a country. Why do you say that. The emperor of Manchuria is a Chinese, and he is the abolished Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty."

"Oh? Xuan Tong is going to be the emperor again?" The four emperors were surprised, living in this ravine all year round, it's hard to hear such things.

"Now, it's not called Xuantong, and the reign name has been changed to Kant. The emperor is a Chinese, but the person in charge is a Japanese. It's like your dream. A long worm has two heads. What kind of monster is this?"

Hongdao glanced at Cong Si Huang Shang, and then said: "Although Mr. Xiaoru is a commoner, but the villagers gave you the nickname 'Cong Si Huang Shang', which means you have a connection with this country's destiny. Haha!"

"Oh, you are laughing at me, I am just a villager in the mountains."

"Insects, snakes. Wild things like poisonous snakes are the five poisonous things. The illusions in dreams can be interpreted as power and property. For the fate of the country, look at Manchuria, power has been divided into two halves It is like a double-headed snake in a dream, with two heads in one body, which head should the common people listen to? If a king of a country dreams of this dream, he is afraid that the power has fallen. I have received a huge amount of foreign money. In "The Interpretation of Dreams by the Duke of Zhou", it says, 'Dream of a snake in power is auspicious' and 'Dream of a snake and a tiger are precious', that must be the reason." Hong Dao glanced at the Four Emperors.

"Ang, I am only interested in practicing medicine, and I don't care too much about money matters." Said the fourth emperor.

"Immeasurable life! It's good if you have such a mentality. Power and property are like poisonous snakes. As much benefit as they bring you, they will give you as much danger. Snakes and dragons are an illusion. Benefits and dangers Living in one body." Hongdao suddenly turned around and said, "Fortunately, there is a woman in your dream, this is your noble person. She is like the Guanyin Bodhisattva, the great master of the South China Sea in this temple. In times of crisis, she can solve disasters for you ah!"

Hearing this from the Four Emperors, he nodded again and again.He asked again, "Then what does this dream have to do with the Tiaobroom Karda Jing at home?"

"Haha, Mr. Xiaoru, I'm poor and lonely, and I haven't seen my fellow who subdues monsters and monsters with my own eyes." Hongdao thought for a while and said, "Judging from what happened that night at your house, it should be the blind eye of a charlatan That's all."

"Oh, then, why did they play this trick for me?" The Fourth Emperor was puzzled.

"I'm afraid the visitor is not kind. On the fifth, fourteenth, and 23rd day of the lunar new year, the old man rides a bull and does not make alchemy. These days are still safe, but the moon is dark and the wind is high, so be careful." Hongdao reminded.

"Ang, thank you, Master." Cong Sihuang bid farewell to Hongdao and returned to Cong's compound.

Bao Yixian, who was sweeping the yard, saw that the Fourth Emperor came back from the outside, so he stopped what he was doing, smiled and nodded.

The Fourth Emperor also nodded politely.

He glanced at Bao Yixian, and thought of Hongdao's words that the woman in his dream was like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple, and he became more and more fond of her.

Thinking about the appearance of the woman in the dream, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she looked exactly like Bao Yixian.

Thinking of this, the Four Emperors somehow felt a little fever on his face.

Thinking about this indiscriminately, I returned to my small pharmacy from the Four Emperors, and sat down to reflect on Hongdao's words.

If the future is as dangerous as Hongdao calculated, he must take some precautions.

He put some gold, silver, soft and valuable items left by his ancestors, and some modern oceans, gold coupons, etc. into a small box.Then I put the small box in a secret room with a double wall before I felt relieved.

He sat on the chair, thought for a while, but was still not at ease, so he called Bao Yixian over and asked her to find Hou Mingli.

"Ang, brother, are you looking for me?" Hou Mingli asked before entering the door.

"Ang, sensible, come in quickly." The fourth emperor said, "I have something to discuss with you."

The two brothers murmured for an hour in the small pharmacy, and finally decided to add a bolt to the door first.

At night, Hou Mingli and the Fourth Emperor lived together so that they could take care of each other in case of emergency.

Hou Mingli also purposely carried the gun that the short foot snatched from the bearded man that day, to embolden himself.

It seems that the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month has passed.

On the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th days of the twelfth lunar month, the moon was still bright, and the night was not so dark. From the time the Fourth Emperor and Hou Mingli watched the night and chatted until late at night, there was really nothing unusual in the whole compound.

On the night of the 21th, 22st, and [-]nd of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was obviously a little dark, and the moon turned into a crescent, but there was still no movement at night.

In a blink of an eye, it is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is also a small year in the lunar calendar.

It was getting dark, and thinking of what Hongdao said from the Four Emperors, "On the fifth, fourteenth, and 23rd day of the lunar new year, Laojun rides a bull and does not make alchemy". What a big deal, I feel a little relaxed.

Hou Mingli felt uneasy in his heart, so he said to the fourth emperor: "Ang, brother, I'll go out for a walk, let's go to bed if there's nothing else to do."

"Ang, well, come back early. It's New Year's Eve. If you don't, you can go back and sleep for a night. The family will spend a New Year's Eve together. I think it should be peaceful today."

Hou Mingli let out an "ah" and walked towards the gate.Suddenly I heard him shout: "Who? Gaha?"

Hearing the sound, the Fourth Emperor came out of the house, the buttons of the padded jacket were not fully buttoned.

He buttoned up and asked, "Oh?! What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Ang! Brother, I seem to see someone wandering in front of our house." Hou Mingli rubbed his eyes and said.

They went to the gate together to see that the latch was still strong.Said from the four emperors: "Ang, it's so strong, no one should come in, right? Did you hear the dog barking?"

"Ang, no. I felt a figure move by, and it passed by!" Hou Mingli said.

"Ang, if there are strangers, our dog should also bark twice?"

"Ang, that's right!" Hou Mingli said, "Could it be that I've been fooled?"

The two of them walked around the yard again, and after making sure they found nothing unusual, they returned to the house.

On the kang, the two chatted one after another.
