The days when I farmed in Liaozhai

Chapter 21 The Beautiful Man With Amnesia

The gate of Huang's house was surrounded by many daughters-in-law, women and aunts, and several young daughter-in-laws who were close to Rong Niang separated and crowded in the gate, and the crowd immediately crowded the gate.

"If you don't go to work in the field early in the morning, what are you doing here?"

It was Aunt Cui who spoke.The son is a scholar, and Aunt Cui spoke with confidence in the village, she gave everyone a look, and slammed the door from the inside.

The wives and mothers-in-law who have touched their noses and can't see it as lively can talk about it.

The doctor said that Rong Niang was pregnant with a freak, which might bring disaster to her husband's family, and she had to be carried back to her mother's family quickly to prevent her husband's family from suffering...

"Excuse me, please let me go..."

Fu Duoxi lowered his eyebrows and squeezed from the crowd to the gate with a basket in his hand, and called out to Aunt Huang to open the door, and she came to deliver food to Rong Niang.

The door was opened a crack from the inside, Aunt Cui poked her head out, and seeing Fu Duoxi's expression changed from worry to joy.

Rong Niang was lying on the bedside retching, and Aunt Huang patted Rong Niang's back gently while wiping her tears.The little sisters who were close to Rong Niang couldn't help, so they could only stand aside and watch Rong Niang retch.

"Here comes Duoxi..."

Hearing Aunt Huang and Fu Duoxi greeting, Rong Niang raised her head.

"Mother Rong, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Duoxi stepped forward and held Rong Niang's hand, Rong Niang's pale lips seemed to have a tinge of blood in an instant, she smiled at Fu Duoxi, then frowned, pressed her stomach with one hand, but did not speak.

"Yesterday I fell asleep after eating the fish broth and mugwort cakes sent by Duoxi. Who knew that I suddenly complained of stomach pain in the middle of the night. I invited the doctor. The doctor was talking nonsense..."

"The doctor can't see anything wrong, so he must find the blame. Aunt Huang just ignore him."

Fudoxi said with a smile.

"Dasi is right!"

Aunt Huang glanced at Aunt Cui who was slapping her hands, her eyelids twitched, and she still trembled with anger when she mentioned what the doctor said.Rong Niang is her daughter-in-law, how could she go back to her mother's house just because of the doctor's words.

"You all go out first, just let Duoxi stay here."

Aunt Huang is also a shrewd person, and she obviously felt that Rong Niang's situation has improved since Fu Duoxi came in.At this time, Rong Niang was obediently leaning against the head of the bed, holding Fu Duoxi's hand gently with one hand.

Aunt Cui led the young daughters-in-law out, and only Fu Duoxi and Aunt Huang Rongniang were left in the room.

"Rong Niang, are you hungry? I made sour plum and bone meat for you. It's refreshing and appetizing without being greasy."

Seeing Rong Niang nodded, Fu Duoxi took out a small blue basin from the basket and opened the lid.Aunt Huang hurriedly picked up the chopsticks on the bedside table and handed them to Niang Rong.

"good to eat."

After Rong Niang finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth, and hurriedly lay down on the head of the bed, making a series of grunts in her throat, opened her mouth with a "poof", and spit out a pile of black stones...

The matter of Rong Niang spitting out a mouthful of black stones is kept secret, but the little fox demon knows.This little clever demon has been lying under Rong Niang's back window and peeping.

"Don't tell anyone."

Fu Duoxi tapped the little fox demon on the head.

"Don't tell me, my sister is the only one I can talk to. Who else can I talk to?"

The little fox demon hopped and reached out to pick a handful of wild flowers by the roadside.

Fu Duoxi never told Rong Niang that she stole the wooden statue hidden behind the dressing table.Rong Niang seemed to have forgotten about it, as if some invisible force had erased people's memory of the Spring God Temple.No one brought up the case of Xiaolian being trapped in Chunshen Temple.

When Fu Duoxi saw the county official came to Nanping Village, he thought that Xiaolian's case had progressed, but the official didn't mention the Chunshen Temple at all, and gave Xiaolian wages according to the notice of recruiting sacrificial dancers.

"The Spring God Temple is really evil! Except for my sister, no one knows about the Spring God Temple."

Fu Duoxi looked at the little fox demon, and then at the figure standing by the pond in the distance.

Xiao Lian would stand by the pond for a long time every day, and only left when her mother called her.Sometimes when it rains, she just stands by the pond to soak herself in the rain.Grandma Jiang called Xiaolian to take shelter in the tea shed, but Xiaolian didn't seem to hear her.Grandma Jiang said that Xiao Lian's soul was lost, and she had to ask Xiao Lianniang to go to another village to invite a witch to come and find Xiao Lian's soul back.

"Go to work!"

Fuduoxi straightened his straw hat, bent down and continued pulling weeds.The seedlings in my own field grow strong and tall, but the weeds also grow much more than those in other people’s fields. After pulling out one crop after another, the weeds can still grow waist-high overnight, drooping and blooming. Spikes of lilac florets.

"It's been half a month, and Uncle Yao hasn't come back yet. How about I go find Uncle Yao?"

"You can go if you want, I don't care about you."

"Yeah, I was just kidding."

The little fox demon tied the wreath around his waist and pulled up a handful of weeds vigorously.

Fu Duoxi walked up to the field ridge with the last bundle of weeds that he pulled out, and looked up to see that Xiao Lian had followed her mother back home.

Aunt Huang and Niang Rong appeared on the official road, and they walked into the tea shed unhurriedly, sat down, picked up the tea brought by Granny Jiang, and drank it.

Rong Niang is completely healed, her waist seems to be a little tighter.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of the tea shed after drinking tea, talking and laughing, and walked towards the village.

Selective amnesia is also good, at least Rong Niang will not feel sad about losing her child, and Aunt Huang has also forgotten the fear of seeing Rong Niang spit out a pile of black stones...

When it was getting dark, Mrs. Jiang came.

"Why are you here to give an account today?"

Fu Duoxi asked casually.Normally, Granny Jiang would come to Fu Duoxi to pay her account, and then she would go home happily with the commission Fu Duoxi gave her.

"My mother-in-law sprained her ankle..."

Jiang lowered her eyes, and handed over the account book and two shillings of money from the three-day sale to Fu Duoxi.

The so-called ledgers are just markings. Both Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are illiterate, and they all draw orthographic characters on the ledger according to Fu Duoxi's teaching.Fortunately, the tea shed only sells tea and one kind of snack, so Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not make mistakes.

Fu Duoxi handed over the counted copper coins to Mrs. Jiang, when she reached out to take them, she saw bruises on her arms.It doesn't look like it was touched, but it looks like it was pinched by hand.

Realizing that Fu Duoxi had noticed her arm, Jiang hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, took the money to thank her, and walked away quickly as if being chased by someone.

"Sister, come and have a look with me."

As soon as the little fox demon grabbed Fu Duoxi, he pulled it outside the house.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you hungry and clamoring for food? Where's the water you brought?"

"I'm not hungry now."

By the stream, two buckets were tilted eastward and one westward, and a pole was half in the water and half hanging obliquely on the grass by the stream.

Fu Duoxi saw a black figure in the grass, "You want me to see that? What is it?"

Something that can make the little fox demon look at it even if he doesn't have time to eat, must be a good thing.The little fox demon covered her mouth with her two chubby paws and said nothing, deliberately let Fu Duoxi walk in front, and it followed behind and tilted its head to observe Fu Duoxi's expression.

"You let me see people?!"
