After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous

"that's it?"

Chen Guanglu didn't believe it, "Then why did the Jiang family write a petition and submit it to the county government? You don't know **** people, right?"

"How can it be."

Little Han's eyes evaded, "I just took the child to Zhouhe County. He is not a child of the Jiang family. Why should she write a complaint?"

 “Idiot!”

 Chen Guanglu slapped Xiao Han in the face and said angrily: "She is not from the Jiang family, how do you know she is from your eldest sister's family?"

Little Han covered half of his face and did not dare to say a word.

Chen Guanglu pointed at her and scolded: "Since I think she is your eldest sister's child, I should hand her over to your eldest sister and let her negotiate with the Jiang family. Isn't this reasonable? Why did you send the child to my eldest brother's house? "

Little Han started to cry, "I, I can't help it. There is no birthmark on the child's wrist. The eldest sister was afraid that the family would cause trouble, so she didn't dare to stay at home. She asked me to take him back to the county for a while, but I Where can we bring her to our home..."

Chen Guanglu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, kicked her, knocked the woman to the ground, and cursed: "Bitch! So you are going to blame my elder brother for that trouble?"

 Although he is not very close to his eldest brother, he is his only blood brother after all. How dare... How dare she send the child to her eldest brother?

In case the Jiang family was killed, wouldn't his elder brother be punished for the sisters of Han?

Chen Guanglu walked around the room twice with his hands on his hips, squinting at little Han who was sobbing with his face covered, and said fiercely: "Hurry up and get rid of that child in Zhouhe County, and make it clean and clean without leaving any traces! She is nothing but You are three or four years old and you are very easy to clean up. If you leave any more clues, I will divorce you!"

 After saying that, Chen Guanglu slammed the door and left.

Little Han got up, wiped his face casually, and immediately went out to find a servant to hitch a carriage, and rushed to Zhouhe County again.

Sitting on the mule cart, she tied a thin linen rope around her hand and thought about **** the baby in the easiest way.

The best way is to strangle it to death without spilling a drop of blood, and then dump it in any ditch or field without digging a hole and burying it.

Such a small child would be eaten by wild wolves and dogs very quickly if it died in the wild. No one would notice it at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han calmed down and complained to her eldest sister again.

If it weren't for her, how could I have been insulted and beaten by her husband?

 What a useless woman! I couldn't give birth to a son, so I just thought about unnecessary worries, which made me travel hundreds of miles in the snow. I was exhausted, and I still had to pay for things.

 I don’t want to care about her anymore!

 The mule cart hurriedly and slowly arrived at Zhouhe County.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Han rushed to his uncle's house, his sister-in-law said that the child ran away on his own and did not come back all night. The family searched for it for a long time but could not find it.

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

　　It only snowed for one night and then the sky cleared up, but the temperature was surprisingly cold.

Yingbao stayed in this house for a few days. He stayed in the house every day and never stepped out of the yard except to go to the toilet.

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

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

Two servants drove a car respectively, and there were many luggage, quilts, book boxes and other items tied to the back of the car.

 Farewell to the host's house, Yingbao left with Wu Daozi.

She and Wu Daozi sat in the front car together. The car was covered with soft cushions and two thin blankets. Each of them covered their knees with a thin blanket to block the cold wind coming through the car curtains.

Wu Daozi was not wearing a Taoist robe today, but was wearing a blue straight-leg cotton robe, showing a scholarly look.

Yingbao's eyes passed over his neck, and she took out two cooked water chestnuts from her pocket and handed them over: "Uncle Wu, here they are for you to eat."

 She did not explain the origin of water chestnuts, so Wu Daozi could figure it out on his own. Wu Daozi took two water chestnuts and looked at them over and over: "Do you want to peel them?"

Yingbao shook his head: "It's washed and cooked. You can eat it without peeling it."

“Oh.” Wu Daozi ate slowly, glanced at the little baby, and asked, “Do you have any relatives in Qinchuan County?”

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

  The mule cart was rickety and not very fast, so it was probably good to reach its destination in the evening.

“I’ll take you back to the county first. If I have time, I’ll stop by Simen Town to see the big gourd you mentioned.”

Yingbao: "...Okay."

The carriage was driving not far on the street when it encountered a long team performing a sacrificial dance. It had to stay aside and wait for the sacrificial dance team to pass by.

Ying Bao quietly opened the curtains of the car and looked outside, only to see hundreds of dancers wearing colorful silks performing sacrificial dances to the music of drums.

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

Many people followed to watch, and the procession once stretched to two or three miles, with drums and flags waving, and strings of white lanterns hung on some flagpoles.

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

Wu Daozi also watched with great interest and even beat the drums on his legs.

Yingbao counted on his fingers. Today happens to be the Xiayuan Festival on October 15th, the day when Taoist water officials relieve disaster, and all Taoist temples will hold monasteries.

No wonder I could meet Wu Daozi in a Taoist temple. This man is a true believer.

 Finally, after waiting for the sacrificial dance team to pass by, the mule cart started to move slowly.

Yingbao still looked out of the car window and saw that many houses on both sides of the street had flagpoles erected with colorful flags hanging on them. The flags were embroidered with words such as "Heaven, Earth, Water," "Good weather," and "Eliminate disasters and bring blessings."

Some families have set up an incense table at the door. On the incense table are various pastries and fruits, such as glutinous rice dumplings, steamed red bean buns, fried tofu, etc., for their children to eat as they please, and sometimes they also give some to the neighborhood children who come to beg for food. .

As the mule carts drive out of the county town, you can still see flagpoles erected in front of farmers’ houses, but most of the flagpoles are hung with animal shapes made of rice straw and wheat straw, including carps, cows and sheep, etc., to pray for good fortune.

There is a child at the door of the farmhouse. Under the guidance of his family, he is holding burning incense sticks and inserting them into pieces to commemorate the dead souls of the past and to protect the lonely ghosts from entangling the children.

Yingbao was also taught by her parents to put incense in the field. She also heard her parents ask her to put incense in the field while praying to the passing souls to leave quickly after eating the offerings and not to pester the children.

 The mule cart speeded up as it entered the official road.

Both sides of the official road are either farmland or wilderness, and there is not much to see.

Yingbao put down the car curtain and looked at the carport boredly. Suddenly she 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 take a pulse?"

Wu Daozi glanced at her and ignored her.

Yingbao picked her fingers and thought for a while, then continued: "Uncle Wu, sir, you praise me for my superb medical skills. Do you really not want me to cut your pulse?"

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

 Yingbao couldn't help but feel discouraged, but was she someone who gave up easily? She was definitely not.

　　Since I am still a child now, it doesn't matter if I am thick-skinned, as long as Uncle Wu doesn't kick me out of the car.
