Maoshan female Taoist priest

Chapter 93
As soon as he got off the bullock cart, Bai Xiaoxi raised his eyes and saw Zhou Yuan's family's dilapidated high-walled compound, a big house with blue tiles and white walls, Zhou Yuan's mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties, standing Inside the gate, as soon as they saw Zhou Yuan, they immediately stepped over the high threshold stone with a smile on their face and greeted them.

"Sister, this is my house, let's go in." Probably because Zhou Yuan was back home and relaxed, she turned to greet Bai Xiaoxi with a smile on her face.

However, Bai Xiaoxi didn't move, and stood there with his travel bag, frowning and looking at Zhou Yuan's house in front of him.

Zhou Yuan took two steps, only to realize that Bai Xiaoxi hadn't followed. Looking back, she saw Bai Xiaoxi's expression, and she felt a "thump" in her heart, "Eldest sister? Is it..."

At this time, Zhou Yuan's mother had already walked over quickly, "Oh, girl, I suddenly received a call from you in the morning, and thought you were homesick, so you said you were coming back. Why did you ask for leave so suddenly? Hurry up, hurry up!" Go into the house. This is the friend you mentioned, right? Come on, let’s go into the house and have a rest." Zhou Yuan's mother spoke Mandarin with a taste of dialect.

Zhou Yuan was still looking back at Bai Xiaoxi.

Bai Xiaoxi looked away, shook her head at Zhou Yuan, and then said to Zhou Yuan's mother, "Thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Yuan's mother was all smiles, she stretched out her hand and took Bai Xiaoxi's and Zhou Yuan's luggage without saying anything, and took them home.

After stepping over the high threshold stone steps at the gate, the interior of the mansion appeared in front of Bai Xiaoxi.Bai Xiaoxi is not unfamiliar with this kind of quaint old house, because the old house of the Bai family is basically this kind of building, but it is much more solemn and gorgeous than this one.

Standing at the door, Bai Xiaoxi looked at the thick pear tree in the yard in the middle of the square house, and his heart sank slightly again—wooden in his mouth, sleepy!
This is a big taboo in Feng Shui!

Bai Xiaoxi pretended to look around unintentionally, and then asked Zhou's mother who was leading the way, "Auntie, who loaded up the pear tree in this yard?"

Mother Zhou was taken aback, wondering what Bai Xiaoxi meant by asking this.

Bai Xiaoxi hurriedly said, "Oh, I think this pear tree is so thick, so I think it must be quite old?"

Zhou's mother is a simple mountain person. Hearing what Bai Xiaoxi said, she smiled and said, "Yes! It's been many years! But, this tree was not planted before, it was the year when Niuer was born, we here One of my teachers told me to plant a pear tree for my family to keep me safe!"

Zhou's mother's words were a little messy, but Bai Xiaoxi could still hear it - this pear tree was actually transplanted from elsewhere, and someone had the Zhou family transplant it under the pretext of keeping it safe.

Bai Xiaoxi frowned slightly again - anyone who knows a little bit of Feng Shui should know that a house with this layout is most taboo to plant trees in the center of the house!Who is so sinister?

Could it be... an enemy?
Bai Xiaoxi thought for a while, then pulled Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan understood, and she was two steps behind, standing side by side with Bai Xiaoxi, and then she heard Bai Xiaoxi say, "It's not convenient to ask you anything more now, I have seen many things that make me suspicious." Find a time in the evening, and I need to get to know you a bit before making any plans."

Zhou Yuan nodded, "Okay."

At this time, Zhou's mother turned her head and said to the two of them, "It's getting dark soon, and the head of the family should be back soon after going to the mountain to chop bamboo. Girl, your grandma is chatting at the third aunt's house next door. Go call her." Come back, she doesn't know you're back yet."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Mom, my friend is going to play here for a few days, you can find her a place to live at home!"

Mother Zhou nodded with a smile, "Okay! Isn't the room next to your sleeping room empty? I'll go and clean it up, and the eldest sister will sleep there tonight, okay?"

Just as Bai Xiaoxi wanted, Bai Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Oh, the children from the city are sensible, and I have said thank you several times. Hehe, girl, your friend is good-looking and knowledgeable." Zhou's mother carried her bag and walked forward. , while praising Bai Xiaoxi to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan turned her head and glanced at Bai Xiaoxi, seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "Eldest sister, my mother is not educated, don't mind me!"

Bai Xiaoxi waved his hand, "No, no."

While talking, several people arrived at the stairway of the inner house. Mother Zhou went upstairs to tidy up the room with her bag in hand. Zhou Yuan asked Bai Xiaoxi if she wanted to call her grandma home together. No other taboos, just go with it.Unexpectedly, the two walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the third aunt's house next door that Zhou's mother said.And still on the mountain, Bai Xiaoxi was panting and speechless, seeing that he finally stopped, he quickly leaned on a tree to rest.

Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Zhou Yuan trotted towards the direction of the women sitting at the door of the ordinary house in front of her.Bai Xiaoxi supported the tree and looked down. At a glance, he saw the mansion of Zhou Yuan's family, which was located on the low side. The old and thick pear tree was located in the center of the house. appear particularly prominent.

Bai Xiaoxi looked around again, and found that the houses in this area were basically built with modern bricks, except for Zhou Yuan's house, which was still an old-style house.It seems that Zhou Yuan's family has belonged to a famous family in this area since a long time ago, and the more this kind of family, the chance of attracting unexpected hatred is far greater than imagined.

From the opposite mountain, Bai Xiaoxi could vaguely see figures chopping bamboo, and people walking down the mountain with bamboo on their shoulders.Bai Xiaoxi looked again at the gate of Zhou Yuan's house, which was facing the only exit to go up and down the mountain, so he pinched his fingers and counted, and before he finished, Bai Xiaoxi was startled and frowned.

"Big sister," Zhou Yuan called her from behind Bai Xiaoxi, "I called grandma back, shall we go back?"

When Bai Xiaoxi turned his head, he saw Zhou Yuan walking towards him with a smile, supporting an 80-year-old old lady.And the old lady who was supported by Zhou Yuan was taken aback when she saw Bai Xiaoxi, and then smiled kindly at Bai Xiaoxi.

Bai Xiaoxi saw that this grandma was eighty years old, but still had clear features and rosy cheekbones, so she knew she was a lucky person, so she smiled at her, "Hello, grandma."

Grandma Zhou looked at Bai Xiaoxi again, then smiled and took Bai Xiaoxi's hand, and said, "Okay, okay. Eldest sister is Niu'er's friend?"

Bai Xiaoxi supported her while nodding, "Yeah."

Grandma Zhou nodded with a smile, "Come and have fun for a few days, the mountains are much more fun than the cities."

Bai Xiaoxi nodded again, "Okay, thank you grandma."

Seeing that her grandmother was always looking at Bai Xiaoxi, Zhou Yuan was afraid that she would see something, so she hurriedly diverted her attention, "Grandma, I got No.1 in the school exam again this time."

Grandma Zhou turned her head to look at Zhou Yuan when she heard it, her face was full of joy, "Really? Niu'er is a great student!"

Zhou Yuan raised her head proudly, "Yes, grandma always said that I am the smartest! I will be admitted to a good university in the future, earn a lot of money, and be filial to grandma."

Grandma Zhou laughed straight when she heard this, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Niu'er is the most sensible."

The three of them talked and laughed, and returned to the gate of their house. Just as they walked to the gate, they happened to meet Zhou Yuan's father and elder brother and sister-in-law returning from the mountain. Zhou Yuan's father and elder brother were carrying a thick bamboo together. Yuan's sister-in-law walked in front, holding a few machetes in her hands.

"Dad, brother, sister-in-law!" Zhou Yuan cheered, then let go of Grandma Zhou and trotted over to meet her.

Bai Xiaoxi watched Zhou Yuan take the tools from her sister-in-law with a smile, and thought to herself, Zhou Yuan seemed shy on the surface, but she was much more cheerful when she returned home!
At this moment, Grandma Zhou's hand holding Bai Xiaoxi tightened suddenly, and Bai Xiaoxi turned to look at her.

Grandma Zhou glanced at Bai Xiaoxi with a smile, and said, "Eldest sister, the only girl in my family is a promising one. If you can save her this time, it doesn't matter if my old lady takes her life for you."

Bai Xiaoxi was startled, then frowned.

Before she could say anything, Zhou Yuan had already walked up to her father, brother and sister-in-law, and introduced Bai Xiaoxi to them.

Bai Xiaoxi could only suppress his astonishment, and greeted several people one by one.

After a few people entered the house, the sky gradually darkened, and the chimneys of every house in the mountain also emitted smoke from cooking dinner.

Zhou's mother prepared a very rich dinner, but Bai Xiaoxi had other things in mind, so she didn't find anything new.After dinner, she reluctantly chatted with Zhou's family for a while before Bai Xiaoxi flirted with Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan understood and said to the family, "Sister Xiaoxi and I are both tired, so let's go to the house first." Go to sleep."

When Chen's father and Zhou's mother heard this, they hurriedly asked them to wash up and have an early rest.

Before returning to the room, Bai Xiaoxi looked back at Grandma Zhou who was sitting peacefully on the bamboo chair. Grandma Zhou noticed Bai Xiaoxi's gaze, smiled at her, and then nodded.

Bai Xiaoxi turned her head and silently followed Zhou Yuan up to the second floor.

After returning to the room, Zhou Yuan couldn't wait to close the door, pulled Bai Xiaoxi and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what did you find? I'll see you this afternoon..."

Bai Xiaoxi waved her hand at first, then walked to the window and saw that the Zhou family members were sitting in the yard downstairs, and then he was relieved, and said to Zhou Yuan with a suppressed voice, "I thought the pain on your body This curse is hereditary, if you come to see it today, I’m afraid it’s not the case.”

Zhou Yuan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Xiaoxi looked at Zhou's family outside the window again, and said, "This curse in you may be deliberately planted on you behind your back."

"What?!" Zhou Yuan raised her voice and looked at Bai Xiaoxi in shock.

Bai Xiaoxi knew that she must have been frightened, so she continued, "But don't worry, as long as you find the person who made the curse and directly destroy the seeds of the curse, you will be fine."
