After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

"that's it?"

Chen Guanglu didn't believe it, "Then why did the Jiang family write a pleading paper and hand it over to the county government? You won't kill people, right?"

"how is this possible."

Xiao Han's eyes dodged, "It's just taking the child to Zhouhe County, and it's not a child of Jiang's family. Why should she write a complaint?"

"idiot!"

Chen Guanglu slapped Xiao Han's face, angrily said: "It's not from Jiang's family, how do you know she's from your elder sister's family?"

Xiao Han covered half of her face and dared not speak.

Chen Guanglu pointed at her and reprimanded: "Since she thinks it is your elder sister's child, she should be handed over to your elder sister, and let her negotiate with the Jiang family. Isn't that reasonable? Why did you send that child to my elder brother's house? "

Xiao Han burst into tears, "I, I can't help it. There is no birthmark on the child's wrist. The eldest sister is afraid that the family will cause trouble, so she dare not stay at home. She asked me to take it back to the county for a while, but I Where can we bring her to our house..."

Chen Guanglu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, kicked her on the body, kicked the woman to the ground, and cursed: "Bitch! So you put the blame on my elder brother?"

Although he is not very close to his eldest brother, he is still his only blood brother. How dare Han...how dare she send that child to his eldest brother?
If the Jiang family insisted on killing him, wouldn't his eldest brother be punished for the Han sisters?

Chen Guanglu walked around the room twice with his hips crossed, squinting at Xiao Han who was covering his face and weeping, and said viciously: "Hurry up and go to Zhouhe County to dispose of that child, so that it will be clean and fresh without leaving any traces! Three or four years old, it's easy to clean up, if you leave anything behind, I will divorce you!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Guanglu slammed the door and left.

Xiao Han got up, wiped his face casually, and immediately went out to find a servant at home to set up a car, and rushed to Zhouhe County again.

Sitting on the mule cart, she wrapped a thin hemp rope around her hands, thinking in her mind how to kill the kid would be the easiest way.

The best way is to strangle it to death without spattering a drop of blood, and then throw it in any river ditch and wild place, without digging a hole to bury it.

Such a small child, if he dies in the wild, he will be eaten by wild wolves and dogs soon, without anyone noticing it, no one will pay attention at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han settled down, and complained to her elder sister again in her heart.

If it wasn't for her, how could he be insulted and beaten by her husband.

What a useless woman!If I can't give birth to a son, I just think about those unwarranted worries, causing me to travel hundreds of miles in the snow, not to mention being exhausted, and I have to pay for it.

I don't want to control her anymore!
The mule cart hurried on, and finally arrived at Zhouhe County.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Han rushed to the uncle's house, but the sister-in-law said that the child ran away by himself and didn't come back all night. The family searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Xiao Han's head was buzzing with anger, but he didn't dare to stay for long, and immediately asked his servant to drive back to Qinchuan County.

It only snowed overnight and the sky was clear, but the temperature was surprisingly cold.

Yingbao lived in this family for a few days, staying in the house every day, and never stepped out of the yard except to go to the toilet.

The hostess sent an old cotton coat for her to change into, and asked the little girl to wash and tie her hair every day.

On this day, Wu Daozi finally came to pick her up, along with two servants and two mule carts.

The two servants each drove a cart, and a lot of luggage, quilts, bookcases and other things were tied to the rear cart.

After bidding farewell to the master's house, Yingbao left with Wu Daozi.

She and Wu Daozi were sitting in the front car, the car was covered with soft cushions, and there were two thin blankets, each of them was covered on the knees, which could block the cold wind coming in from the curtains.

Wu Daozi didn't wear a taoist robe this time, but a blue straight cotton gown, showing a bookish look.

Ying Bao's gaze flicked over his neck, and she took out two boiled water chestnuts from her pocket and handed them over: "Uncle Wu, I'll eat it for you."

She didn't explain the source of the water chestnut, so let Wu Daozi figure it out.

Wu Daozi took the two water chestnuts and looked at them over and over again: "Do you want to peel them?"

Ying Bao shook her head: "It's been washed, it's cooked, and you can eat it without peeling the skin."

"Oh." Wu Daozi ate slowly, glanced at the little baby, and asked, "Are there any relatives in Qinchuan County?"

"No." Although my aunt Jiang Yunniang was in the county seat, Yingbao didn't know where her family lived, so she simply said no.

The mule cart was staggering, and the speed was not fast. It would be considered good if it could reach the destination in the evening.

"I'll take you back to the county seat first. If I have time, I'll stop by Simen Town to see the big gourd you mentioned."

Yingbao: "...Okay."

The carriage didn't go far on the street, and it encountered a long line of sacrificial dancers, so they had to stay aside and wait for the sacrificial dance team to pass by.

Yingbao quietly lifted the curtains of the car and looked out, only to see hundreds of dancers in colorful silks dancing sacrificial dances to drum music.

Most of them were shirtless, exposing their strong arms and chest muscles. In the cold wind, these people seemed not afraid of the cold. They danced and sang prayers in slang as they headed towards the Taoist temple.

Many people followed and watched, and the line once stretched to two or three miles, with the sound of drums and music, flags fluttering, and strings of white lanterns hung on some flagpoles.

It's a pity that it is daytime now, and these lanterns are not lit. If at night, these lanterns are lit one by one and emit light, like stars in the sky, it will be really beautiful.

Wu Daozi also watched with relish, and slapped the beat on his lap with the drum music.

Ying Bao counted with her fingers, and today happened to be the Lantern Festival on October [-]th, the day when the Taoist water official relieves disasters, and all Taoist temples will be used as dojos.

No wonder I was able to meet Wu Daozi in the Taoist temple, this man is a proper believer.

After finally waiting for the sacrificial dance team to pass by, the mule cart started to drive slowly.

Ying Bao was still looking out of the car window, and saw that many people on both sides of the street had flagpoles erected, and colorful flags were hung on the flagpoles. On the flags were embroidered words such as "Heaven, Earth, Water House", "Smooth weather" and "Dispelling disasters and bringing blessings".

There are also people who set up an incense table at the door, on which there are various pastries and fruits, such as glutinous rice balls, steamed red bean buns, fried tofu, etc., for their own children to eat, and sometimes they will share some with neighbors who come to beg for food. .

When the mule cart drove out of the county, you could still see flagpoles erected in front of farmers’ houses, but most of the flagpoles were hung in the shape of animals made of rice stalks and wheat straw, such as carp, cattle and sheep, praying for prosperity.

At the gate of the farmhouse, there are children under the guidance of their family members, who are holding burning incense sticks and inserting them into fields to pay homage to the dead in the past, and purify those lonely and wild ghosts so that they will not entangle the children.

Yingbao was also taught by her parents to plant incense in this way, and she heard her parents let her plant incense, and at the same time prayed for the passing ghosts to leave after eating the offerings, and not to pester the children.

The mule cart picked up speed on the official road.

Both sides of the official road are either farmland or wilderness, and there is nothing to see.

Yingbao put down the curtain of the car, looked at the carport boredly, and suddenly became curious about the tumor on Wu Daozi's neck.

But she couldn't say it clearly, after thinking about it, she said to Wu Daozi who was reading a book: "Uncle Wu, I learned medical skills from my husband at home, do you want to cut your pulse?"

Wu Daozi glanced at her and ignored her.

Ying Bao picked her finger and thought for a while, then continued: "Uncle Wu, the master praised me for my excellent medical skills, do you really want me to cut your pulse?"

Wu Daozi didn't even lift his eyelids, and still ignored her.

Yingbao couldn't help being discouraged, but is she someone who gives up easily, definitely not.

Anyway, I'm still a child now, so it doesn't matter if I have a thick skin, as long as Uncle Wu doesn't kick me out of the car.
