low-key warlock

That night, all the neighbors in the neighborhood heard the screams and curses from Liu Jinming's house.

Until it was daylight, Hu Ling, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, limped out of the house with a small calico package on her shoulders, and walked out of the street crying, under the comforting and curious eyes of the neighbors. Obviously, this is the rhythm of going back to her mother's house.

Neighbors are talking:

"I don't know why Hu Ling went crazy last night. She dared to quarrel with Liu Jinming."

"Oh, the old lady is seriously ill. I'm afraid all the money in the family will have to be thrown in. Their family hasn't saved enough money to decorate the house yet. Now it's good..."

"Yeah, no one can bear it."

"I felt something was wrong. There was a sudden commotion in the middle of the night. Didn't I hear Hu Ling yelling about committing crimes, rebelling against evil spirits, and inviting ghosts to the house? I see, it might be the crock pot made by the old lady What happened, otherwise Hu Ling would be so bold as to make a fuss with Liu Jinming?"

"It really is……"

"It's such an old age, and I still have to make a fuss to go back to my mother's house, alas."

"Why go back to her mother's house? Hu Ling has no father or mother for a long time. Could it be possible to go to her brother's house?"

"That is to go back to her girl's house..."

……

During the discussion, the neighbors couldn't help turning their attention to Chen Xiulan and Su Cheng.

The kind-hearted Chen Xiulan was full of embarrassment, as if she had done something wrong, she hurriedly turned around and went home.

Su Cheng also knew the rumors in the village these two days. Although he didn't believe these bull ghosts and snake gods, after all, the rumors had something to do with his family, and the two families usually get along pretty well, so he sympathized with Liu Jinming's family. encounter.At this time, he heard the neighbors mentioning the curse on the earthen pot again, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't feel comfortable arguing with the neighbors, so he sighed, turned and walked home.

At this time, Su Chunfeng was running and exercising on the field path outside the village.

Of course he heard the fight between Liu Jinming and his wife last night, and he also heard some quarreling words, so he guessed some of the reasons for it.

It's just these, but it has nothing to do with the technique.

It's just people's hearts.

As a behind-the-scenes performer, Su Chunfeng never expected that a small operation would cause Liu Jinming's family to fall into such an unbearable situation-he thought that the old lady would not be able to survive under the strong backlash of fierce spirit. But in the past, I didn't expect that the old man survived.

If this old lady died, Su Chunfeng would never have the slightest sympathy.

But the old lady is not dead, and the life of Liu Jinming's family is in trouble, and Su Chunfeng, who is kind-hearted, will inevitably feel a little bit of self-blame.

After all, the two didn't have much animosity at all.

Too much, alas.

It really is unpredictable...

While eating breakfast, Su Cheng asked calmly, "Xiaofeng, are the rumors in the village true?"

Su Chunfeng shrank his neck, grinned and said, "Which ones?"

"The things you said at Liu Jinming's house!" Su Cheng's tone became serious.

"That's true." Su Chunfeng showed a fearful expression, and said timidly: "Father, I saw the old lady that day and saw that my expression was not right. Didn't I tell you when I came back? I happened to see the old lady on the corner of the roof of her house again. Put an earthen pot, the mouth of the pot is facing our house... When we were in school, we heard our teacher talk about the feudal superstition in the countryside, and he mentioned this witchcraft, so I think the relationship between the two families was not bad at first, so it didn’t matter. Discuss with you guys, I think it's just a trivial matter, don't go and talk to Uncle Jin Ming because of this, even though we don't believe in this stuff, it's disgusting to watch, don't you think so? ?”

Chen Xiulan sighed, and said: "You are so young, why do you believe in these nonsense things, and even go to people's homes to talk about them. It was nothing at first, but now, it seems like we have harmed people."

Su Cheng stared at the eldest son, and scolded: "Be careful in the future, don't mess around! Do you hear me?"

"I heard you." Su Chunfeng curled his lips and gnawed on the steamed bun with his head drooping.

"Be more careful in the future!" Su Chunyu gleefully imitated his father's tone and taught his brother a lesson.

Su Chunfeng glared at him.

Su Cheng even knocked his head with his chopsticks: "Little bastard, learn more from your brother in the future, think before doing things, don't be heartless all day long!"

Su Chunyu hurriedly lowered his head to eat honestly.

The dinner table fell silent.

What Su Cheng said just now to reprimand his second son for exaggerating his son was indeed from the bottom of his heart, and his wife Chen Xiulan also had the same idea—although Su Chunfeng's self-assertion caused such false rumors, but as adults, they couldn't help it. He does not admit that the child's starting point is correct, and it is a very mature way of dealing with things, because he has considered the relationship between the two families, and hopes to minimize the possibility of conflicts...

Unfortunately, he is too young.

If Su Cheng had said those words to Liu Jinming at that time, no matter how unreasonable the old lady of the Liu family was, Liu Jinming would have to tear down the broken earthen pot because of his face and the relationship between the two families.In that case, how could these things happen later?

Still, it's a strange thing to say.

Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan also witnessed the cracking of the earthen pot.Could it be that there is really some mysterious witchcraft in it?

Just after breakfast, I heard Liu Jinming's voice from the courtyard: "Chengzi, are you at home?"

"Here!" Su Cheng agreed with a surprised expression, got up and went out: "Brother Jin Ming is here, come in quickly...how is my aunt?"

"Oh, I'm paralyzed." Liu Jinming sighed.

While talking, Liu Jinming and Su Cheng entered the room together.

"Brother Jin Ming." Chen Xiulan greeted politely, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table and took them out.

"Xiaofeng, bring Xiaoyu back to the house to do homework." Su Cheng ordered.

"Oh." Su Chunfeng dragged Xiaoyu up and walked towards the west bedroom, while politely calling out to Liu Jinming, "Uncle Jinming." While thinking in his heart, why Liu Jinming came to the house?In fact, it is not difficult to guess, borrow money... But this person, you must not lend him money!

Liu Jinming nodded and sat down, and looked at the very polite and sensible Su Chunfeng with a deep expression - I remember that night, this child was also very polite, and he didn't say anything harsh.

"Brother Jin Ming, take it easy..." Su Cheng took out a cigarette and handed over one.

"En." Liu Jinming took the cigarette and lit it, and took a deep puff.

"Is it because the money is not enough?" Su Cheng also guessed Liu Jinming's intention for coming here this time. Although he did not trust Liu Jinming's character from the bottom of his heart, and was unwilling to lend him money, the relationship between neighbors and neighbors was not good at ordinary times. That's right, seeing his family fall into such a predicament, Su Cheng couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines no matter what, so he said sincerely, "You can say something... But to be honest, I really don't care if there are too many." Can’t come out, after all, I just repaid the loan, and I don’t have a lot of money, but it’s no problem for a thousand or eight hundred!”

800 yuan, in these years, is definitely not a small sum!

Liu Jinming was stunned, guilt flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "I've got enough money! I'm not here to borrow money..."

"That's it?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Your aunt has been ill and hospitalized for the past few days, and there have been a lot of rumors in the village." Liu Jinming took a deep breath of cigarettes and said, "Well, no matter whether it has anything to do with that broken pot witchcraft or not, now that you think about it, it's you Aunt, what she did was wrong. Last time, she quarreled with her younger siblings because of saving money for the construction of the Guandi Temple. I am here to ask you and younger siblings to accompany her on her behalf... Her temperament, you also You know, it's not easy for us as children to say anything about her, alas."

This attitude was completely beyond Su Cheng's expectation.

Even Su Chunfeng, who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop in the bedroom, was greatly surprised—with Liu Jinming's character, he would say such words?

It is even more mysterious and weird than witchcraft!

Su Cheng hurriedly said: "Brother Jin Ming, you're offended by saying these words... Can I still hate my aunt because of this?"

"Brother, I know that the money you earn is not easy, it's all hard work." Liu Jinming stood up, puffed out smoke and sighed: "The rumors in the village are that your sister-in-law is ignorant outside. Don't take it too seriously. It's fine, I have nothing else to say, so I'm leaving."

"Where can it be?" Su Cheng got up and said, "Sit down a little longer."

"No, I still have to go to the hospital..."

"Then you wait first, I'll get you some money for emergency use." Su Cheng was about to go to the back room as he spoke.

"No, no need!" Liu Jinming strode out.

Seeing this, Su Cheng stopped taking the money, and hurriedly sent it out, saying, "Brother Jin Ming, if you are short of money, please come to my brother."

"Hey, hey, don't send it off, stay at home." Liu Jinming said repeatedly.

After sending Liu Jinming away, Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan stood under the shade of a tree in the yard and looked at each other—why did Liu Jinming suddenly change his temper?

How would they know that Liu Jinming quarreled and talked with his wife last night, like all the neighbors, wondering how his wife dared to play in front of him?He also yelled about some crimes, what provoked unclean things...

After his wife left in the morning, Liu Jinming sat alone at home smoking a stuffy cigarette and worrying.

When a person is most pessimistic and stressed, he can think about some things clearly, and because of helplessness, he thinks of those ethereal and non-existent things as spiritual sustenance.And Liu Jinming, after thinking about it under tremendous psychological pressure, felt that the earthen pot was very evil. The old lady at home had a strange disease. rare.

And these years of bad luck, most of the time it should be like what my wife said when she went crazy like a demon, because she committed too many crimes.

So in order to relieve the fear and pressure in his heart, Liu Jinming decided: "Stop doing evil, and be a good person!"

At least……

In a short period of time, he hopes that with his own changes, he can get rid of bad luck and bring himself some good luck instead of bad luck.
