Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 38
This morning, after she woke up, she beat a few eggs and flour, added salt and green onions, spread some oil on the iron pan, pasted some egg pancakes, and asked them to get up for breakfast with milk tea. After eating, Tian Liusu brought some eggs to Mrs. Song's house for Zaoya to eat.

As soon as she led An'an and Lele to the door of Mrs. Song's house, she heard a jingle of bells coming from the entrance of the village, and someone shouted angrily. She didn't know what happened.

Seeing Tian Liusu coming, Mrs. Song let her into the house.

"Sister, you are too polite. These eggs make up your body. You can save them for the two children. What else can you give us?" Seeing that Tian Liusu had brought her a dozen eggs, Sister Song was a little embarrassed to accept them.

"Sister-in-law, Zaoya is growing up now. I'll send some to her to make up her body. Didn't I receive little help from you before?"

Tian Liusu put down the egg as he spoke, and Sister-in-law Song accepted it when she saw that she was determined to do so. She pulled Tian Liusu to sit down and talk.

"Sister-in-law, when I came here just now, I heard a lot of people beating gongs and drums at the entrance of the village. What are you doing?" She has been studying poison techniques for the past few days, trying to find ways to detoxify herself. In addition to registering villagers to sell straw The number of people, almost stay at home, do not know what happened in the village.

"Sister, don't you know? The village is haunted by ghosts recently. It is said that Li Er died wronged. I specially invited a mage to come here and do a practice of exterminating demons and catching ghosts."

Seeing that Tian Liusu didn't know about it yet, Sister-in-Law Song looked around in fear and told Tian Liusu in detail.

Tian Liusu frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart.

Li Er died of poisoning, because the murderer was not found out, he was buried hastily that day, Tian Liusu didn't really believe what ghosts and gods said, but people in backward villages are especially superstitious about ghosts and gods, she inspected Li Er's body carefully that day , Absolutely dead, now something like this happened, what is going on?
"Sister-in-law, how did the mage do it? Does it work?"

"The village head said that the mage would go door-to-door to supersede the soul of the dead and lead its soul into the underworld. But if he met a murderer who caused him to die unjustly, he would always hover in the murderer's house and refused to leave. Now everyone in the village Trembling with fear, I am afraid that the wronged soul will stay in my home and refuse to leave."

"There are still such powerful mages? If this is really possible, wouldn't the government be useless?" Tian Liusu snorted coldly.

"I don't know. According to the village chief, this mage was invited from Beijing by his distant nephew, and he has done rituals for the royal family. It's amazing." Sister Song said in awe.

Tian Liusu couldn't figure out the village head's intentions for a while, but after the previous incidents, she always had a faint feeling in her heart that the village head seemed to be trying to recruit her every time, she thought about it carefully and felt that she hadn't Offended him, on the contrary, he ordered the villagers to bully and exclude her before, and she just endured it. I don't know if this incident has something to do with her?

After talking with Mrs. Song for a while, she got up and was about to go back. When she walked outside the gate, she just saw the mage practicing at Erbao's house, so she stopped and took a look. Taoist robes, holding rattles, wooden fish, mahogany swords and other magical instruments in their hands, they look similar.

She looked at it for a long while, curled her lips and went back, thinking that if Li Ermazi really knew under the spring, he would definitely find the real culprit who killed her.

In the afternoon, Tian Liusu was telling fairy tales and idiom stories to two children in the house. When the two children listened with great interest and were fascinated, the village head and Cao Hua led a group of mages to her house to practice.

Tian Liusu didn't expect that in the morning she was still watching what they did for other people's family, and it was their turn in the afternoon. She really didn't believe that the chicken and sheep were killed by ghosts and gods. However, since every household in Tianshui Village has been cheated Well, if she refuses, it will appear that she is guilty. If they want to do it, let them have a hard time, and she wants to see what the hell they are doing.

"Miss Su, please go outside with all your family members. There must be no external interference when the mages are performing the ritual." The village head stood in the yard and called Tian Liusu at the top of his voice.

"An'an, Lele, you go outside to play with slingshots first, and mother will call you later." Tian Liusu sent the two children out first, and he and Xue Ling tidied up the things in the house before going out.

Outside the courtyard, the mage and the village chief whispered to each other, bowed their heads and whispered, they didn't know what they were talking about, when they saw that they had finally cleaned up, they didn't talk too much, set up an incense table, lit the incense, picked up the ashes, kowtowed three times, and then began to knock on the wooden fish Ring the bell to act.

The sorcerer was dressed in Taoist robes, had a wide nose and big ears, and looked a bit fierce. While ringing the bell, he shook his head and led a few disciples around the house from inside to outside, chanting words.

"In the future, there will be people who are short of food and clothing, obedient to those who seek them, who are often ill or decrepit, and whose homes are in turmoil..." Tian Liusu heard that this was a scripture, and it seems that this mage is not all a liar, at least I also know how to read scriptures.

After the mage walked around, he tapped a few yellow talismans, and then stabbed the air a few times with a mahogany sword. Suddenly his body trembled, and then his head shook violently, as if he had epilepsy...

Seeing this, his apprentices immediately formed a circle, knocking on the wooden fish in their hands more loudly.

After beating for a while, the sorcerer gradually stopped and looked at Tian Liusu with fiery eyes. Tian Liusu was slightly taken aback when he saw him looking at her.

"Village chief, the wronged soul Li Er is near this thatched cottage." The mage glanced at Tian Liusu and said decisively to the village chief.

"What? This...how is this possible?" The village chief was a little surprised and unbelievable for a moment, and Cao Huazao screamed in fright.

"Oh, Mrs. Su, the mage said that the chickens and sheep in the village were killed by the evil spirit Li Er. Whose family is his soul is the one who killed him." The whistle sounded, and she covered her mouth in fear.

Tian Liusu finally understood in his heart that the village chief Xindao and the village chief's wife were really willing to spend their money. In order to drive her out of Tianshui Village, they made such a big move, made such a big circle, and set up such a big game .

They first released rumors that the chickens and sheep were killed by ghosts, and then invited a mage to come to catch ghosts, and finally found the ghost in her house, slandered her as a murderer, and drove her out?

"Village Chief, Big Sister Cao Hua, just relying on the groundless nonsense of such a group of charlatans and swindlers, you will blame me for the murder. Is it too outrageous?"

Seeing Tian Liusu's eloquence, the village chief sneered and said, "Miss Su, Master Li is a well-known sorcerer in the capital. How did the chicken and sheep die?"
