What Zhang Chunhua was thinking was that now that she had money in hand, she would give her brother some money tomorrow and ask him to buy more meat and vegetables when he came back from town, and then entertain his benefactor well. Unexpectedly, he would leave tomorrow. .

Sister-in-law Zhang said: "I just heard you talking about repairing the carriage. It will take two days anyway. Although there is an inn in the town, it is not as comfortable as living at home. It is better to live at home."

Zhang Mancang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the picture you drew for me seems not difficult, but after all, it is the first time to do it, so it will inevitably take a few more attempts. It will take two days to complete it. Miss Yang, just do it." Just live at home. If you are worried, you can go to the shop to watch during the day and come back to rest at night. It's not far anyway."

Qingyan saw that they all sincerely wanted to keep her, and thinking about it, it was not impossible. It only took two days anyway, so she nodded and agreed.

Daman and Xiaoman cheered when they saw her staying. When the two boys saw their cousins ​​shouting, they also shouted together. They stopped after being slapped by their own mother.

Ever since Daman and Xiaoman were taken out of the sheep pen of Liang Yuzhu's house by Qingyan, they had subconsciously become dependent on her and felt that they felt safer with her than with their own mother.

When she heard that Qingyan was leaving, her eyes were red. When she agreed to stay for another two days, she immediately became extremely happy.

After finishing the meal, the two little sisters began to tell their two cousins ​​about how Qingyan rescued them. They talked and gestured vividly.

Not to mention the two boys, even Zhang Mancang and his wife listened attentively, and finally looked at Qingyan with admiration.

Qingyan felt embarrassed by them, so she changed the subject and talked about the following experiences along the way.

Several people were immediately attracted to her, and their expressions kept changing as she spoke.

When she mentioned that an enemy was sneaking into the city with a wolf to hurt people, Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but interject: "Miss Yang, do you think the wolf will only eat the heart and liver when it eats people? Or is it controlled by someone?" Use it to take out people's hearts?"

Qingyan immediately understood what she wanted to express, "Are you talking about what happened in Shanggang Village?"

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you heard about it too? I was still thinking of telling you about it."

Zhang Chunhua said with a smile: "I heard it from my brother when I just came back, saying that Uncle Zhanzi and the others moved there because of this incident.

It just so happens that I don't want to go back to Yuliang Village when I get back. Then I have to go find Uncle Zhanzi to see if I can buy his house. "

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, "It's a good relationship. When we live next door, we'll have someone to take care of everything. It also saves your brother and I from worrying about you being bullied there."

It was just a coincidence that Uncle Ganzi's family never thought that the eminent monk of Lingguang Temple would let a man fall in the year of yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang.

If we are looking for a living, we really don’t have any here, but the other party says it’s fine if it’s gone, and leaving roots behind will be useful.

This child is still filial and can make arrangements for his parents when they die. He is really reincarnated to repay his kindness. "

Qingyan asked curiously: "The eminent monk of Lingguang Temple is very effective? He said that this can be used to suppress ghosts, so everyone believed it. What if it doesn't work? Wouldn't there be children killed? What about the people next door? Will my family be driven back again?"

When she was in the car just now, she also asked Zhang Mancang this question. Zhang Mancang's answer was a bit vague, so she asked Mrs. Zhang again now, who seemed to know more.

After all, Zhang Mancang works in the town during the day, and the person in the village is Mrs. Zhang, who should know more specifically than he does.

She was right to think so. Sister-in-law Zhang did know more specifically. After hearing Qingyan's question, she directly replied: "When Xiaocui and his wife came to pick them up together with the head of their village, we also helped to ask questions. .

The old couple has only one daughter left, Xiao Cui. Now that they have finally managed to escape, what if they are sent back again? How will the old couple live in the future?

We have also thought about the situation you mentioned. The village chief of Shanggang Village said that he invited a senior monk from Lingguang Temple, so it will definitely not be useless.

Lingguang Temple is famous for its miraculous effects in our country. It once performed a ritual for the county magistrate's family to drive away ghosts.

When the county magistrate first came to take office, the house he lived in was always uneasy. Not only did the children at home often have fever at night, but the county magistrate's concubine even lost a child.

That house belonged to the previous county magistrate, who was considered an official in the previous dynasty. He was not a good person. He bullied men and domineering women, and did many things to steal people's money.

Especially when I heard that corpses were emerging from the well in his backyard, and I was immediately beheaded in public.

When the county magistrate first took office, he lived in that house when the county government office needed to be renovated.

Who would have expected that within a few days of moving in, things would happen to the family one after another, especially in the backyard where there were always cries and screams at night. It was said that the maidservant had seen a ghost, and then asked the abbot of Lingguang Temple to help exorcise the ghost.

It is said that the abbot went to Liangzhou to attend some kind of Buddhist meeting. The county magistrate's family only invited the abbot's apprentice back. When the apprentice went there, he had the body fished out from the well, chanted sutras and prayed for salvation, and then ordered the body to be properly buried. There have been no more hauntings since.

Everyone in the county knows about this, so if something goes wrong they go to Lingguang Temple to burn incense and ask for a peace charm or something.

If it still can't be solved, just invite a monk to your home and just recite sutras for a few days. Some people have even been sick for a long time, and after listening to the sutras recited by the monks of Lingguang Temple, their health is better, and they can be cured the next day. Off to work in the fields. "

Zhang Mancang and Zhang Chunhua both nodded in agreement. They both knew the efficaciousness of Lingguang Temple, so she didn't feel any surprise when Zhang Mancang mentioned that the eminent monk of Lingguang Temple said that ghosts could be suppressed by moving Zhang Liugen's grave there.

Even though the county seat seems not close to here, and there were no telephones or Internet like in later generations in ancient times, the news was not slow at all.

This businessman who comes and goes can quickly bring news to all over the world.

After listening to this, Qingyan had some idea in her mind that the monk from Lingguang Temple was indeed somewhat capable.

She did not doubt that the monk was a liar. After all, she had seen ghosts and had experienced them herself. There was no doubt that there were ghosts in this world.

And things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Since there are ghosts, there must be ways to restrain ghosts, such as Taoism's Taoism, Buddhism's Buddhism, etc.

But she was still a little curious. Was there a ghost on the mountain behind Shanggang Village?
She had asked Chou Chou to use her spiritual sense to investigate before, but Chou Chou never responded to her, and he must have been staring over there.

Think about it, even if it is a ghost, it should be at night when you go out, and you should not be able to see it in broad daylight.

Even if there is spiritual consciousness, it must be manifested by the other party. If it is hidden in a corner, it will be difficult to find without a target.

Suddenly, I heard a meow sounding outside, each one getting louder and louder, as if it was calling someone.

Only then did Qingyan think that she seemed to have forgotten her money on the carriage... The two girls, Daman and Xiaoman, climbed down from the bench and ran to the door. Daman opened the door, and there was just a crack. The money came in.

He jumped directly to Qingyan's feet and started meowing at her, with deep grievance in his pale golden beast eyes.

Seeing this, Qingyan felt guilty for a while. She quickly squatted down and touched her fur and coaxed: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Rich, I forgot about you. This time it was an accident, and it will definitely not happen again in the future..."

Daman and Xiaoman also squatted on the ground, imitating Qingyan and apologizing to Youqian, but they also forgot about it.

Zhao Chunhua also slapped herself on the forehead, "Oh, this is true. I was so busy talking that I actually forgot about Sister Yang's cat.

I said that I seemed to have forgotten something. It turned out that we had forgotten it in the car when we got off the car. "

Sister-in-law Zhang also likes small animals, and she looked very fond of her when she saw the money. "This cat is so good. If it were a cat in the village, it would have gone away without knowing where it was. It has been waiting outside. So obedient."

As she spoke, she poured the leftover fish and vegetable soup on the table into a large earthenware bowl, then broke a white flour cake into pieces and soaked it in the fish soup.

Qingyan looked at it but didn't stop her. After all, it was hard to let Chou Chou bring raw meat to it now. The fish tasted quite delicious, and the white flour pancake soaked in fish soup was also a good thing that ordinary people couldn't eat. .

Most people usually eat mixed flour cakes, which are both fish and meat, but they are both good food.

Even if he has money, he likes it very much. He buries his head into the big bowl and grunts while eating, and looks up at them from time to time.

Qingyan went over and rubbed its plump butt twice in a funny way, "No one will compete with you, so just eat yours."

Only when you have money can you eat honestly and no longer raise your head.

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at it with a surprised look on her face, "This cat is really understanding of human nature. He can understand what you say."

Zhang Chunhua already knew about it along the way. After all, it was considered contact all the way. Although the two children kept holding the cat in their arms, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The cat didn't resist at all, and it even knew how to turn over and use its eyes to indicate that both sides should be touched.He would also use his body to block Xiaoman from getting close to the charcoal stove, which is really very humane.

Zhang Mancang's two sons, Gou Wa and Tiedan, were also attracted by Fu Qian's plump figure, but they were very sensible and waited until Fu Qian finished eating before approaching him.

Gouwa also poured a bowl of water for it, pushed it in front of its eyes, and whispered: "The fish soup is a bit salty, drink some water quickly."

Youqian glanced at him, meowed, lowered his head and drank water, finishing less than half a bowl of water in one go.

After eating, I squatted there and started licking my fur and grooming myself. The four children gathered around and watched, as if they were watching a show.

Don't worry if you have money, they look at theirs and it licks its own.

Qingyan thought of something and asked Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law Zhang, what are the names of Gou Wa and Tiedan?"

Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head and said: "I haven't taken it yet. Many people here only take their first names into the family tree when they enter school or become adults. When they were young, they took nicknames to make a living. If it weren't for the fact that there were several Gou Sheng villagers, the second child He was called Gou Shengli, and he happened to be lined up with his brother Gou Wa, so I heard they were brothers."

Qingyan was speechless. She had to thank those losers, otherwise her name would be even worse.

"Are they going to school then?"

Qingyan asked again, the conditions of Zhang Mancang's family were pretty good, and if they didn't rush to take the imperial examination, they should be able to go to school.

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, "When the eldest brother is older and we save some money, we will let him go to the county to study. When he enters the school, he can give him a good name.

I don't expect him to be able to take the first prize and become a high official in the future, as long as he knows a few words and can write his own name.

If he was good at arithmetic, he could go to the county and find a job as a bookkeeper, which would be out of the wind and rain, and would make more than his father could earn from his craft. "

Qingyan nodded, it was a good idea to have this idea. If possible, she should let her child go to school. It doesn't necessarily have to be for the imperial examination. At least he should be literate, be able to understand, and not be easily deceived by others.

It's just that she used her spiritual consciousness to scan the town before and found that there were private schools in the town. She didn't know why she had to send her children to study so far away in the county.

It is said that when children reach the age of teaching, they are educated in the village or a nearby town. After they have to take the exam to become a scholar, they will be sent to the county to receive a better education.

Qingyan thought so and asked.

Zhang Mancang replied: "There used to be two private schools in the town. One was an old boy, and the other was a scholar. However, the old boy died two years ago, and only the scholar's private school remained.

Zhang Yaoxu was a bit powerful, and he didn't like the children of ordinary families very much. If he didn't teach his students well, any student who didn't give good gifts on Christmas Day would be beaten and scolded by him often.

Last summer, he actually beat a student's ear to deafness. You must know that if you are disabled, you cannot take the imperial examination. That child was ruined by him.

The child was a smart child. The family originally wanted to let him take the imperial examination to honor his ancestors, but he would not be able to bear it if he was abolished. At that time, everyone in the family went to seek justice. The scholar clan knew that they were wrong and did not stop him. As a result, the scholar's arm After being discounted, it was considered useless now. Forget about the imperial examination, I could only stay in the town and continue teaching.

However, because of this incident, many families did not dare to send their children away for fear that they would be damaged. In addition, since they could not take the scientific examinations, their tempers would become even more irritable, and even fewer would go to school there.

Except for the children of his own race who were still studying there, no one else dared to send them to him, and would rather go farther and send them to the county.

Now our children will only be sent to the county when they are older. Children must live directly in the academy, and they must at least be able to take care of themselves before they can be sent to the county. Otherwise, they will not accept them. "

Qingyan nodded, this is true, in later generations, there are many remote mountain villages, and children generally go to school at an older age.

Because it is so remote and there are no schools, you have to walk a long way to and from school every day. There are even dangers on the road in some places, and you have to pass through rivers and even cliffs.
