Three long and two short

Mrs. Sun looked over and was a little surprised, "It really looks like a big peach."

Yang Ruoqing knew that the script had begun, so she followed the plot, blinked and asked Yang Huaming: "Uncle Fourth, this incense ash looks like a peach, what's the point?"

Yang Huaming raised his hand to make gestures and said with a serious face: "Peach is round and looks similar to our heart."

"There are many doorways here. The incense ashes are burned into this shape, which means that the gods have heard your voice and responded!"

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened in surprise. She suppressed her excitement and asked Yang Huaming: "Fourth uncle, is this kind of situation common?"

Yang Huaming shook his head and said with widened eyes: "How is that possible? I have been working in the Taoist temple for so long, and this is the first time I have seen incense ashes burned like this. This is a sign of good luck!"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she suddenly became excited, and her eyes, which had been anxious for three days, finally had a glimmer of light.

"Fourth, is there such a thing?" She couldn't help but ask again.

Yang Huaming patted his chest: "Of course there is. I work with Taoist Yuan, and I have heard a lot about Taoist priests here. Third sister-in-law, what is your wish?"

Just as Sun was about to speak, Yang Ruoqing quickly stopped her, "Mom, just keep your wish in your heart. It won't work if you say it out loud. Fourth uncle can understand."

Sun stopped talking and smiled apologetically with Yang Huaming.

"Fourth brother, I will tell you when your wish comes true."

Yang Huaming waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's okay. I just asked casually, what about that, Sister-in-law, do you want to go shopping elsewhere?"

Mrs. Sun glanced at the life-release pond over there: "I brought a few fish over and went home after releasing them."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to release the animals."

After the fish were released, Yang Ruoqing and Sun also said goodbye to Yang Huaming and left the Taoist temple.

On the way back, Mrs. Sun, relieved of the heavy burden in her heart, walked briskly and had a smile on her face.

Yang Ruoqing was relieved to see Mrs. Sun like this. But at the same time, another doubt crept into her heart like a dark cloud.

After sending Mrs. Sun home, Yang Ruoqing quietly returned to the Taoist temple.

It was summer, and it was the busy farming season. The Taoist temple was very quiet. Yang Huaming was holding a feather duster in his hand and sweeping the ashes on the futon and incense table in the Sanqing Hall.

Hearing the footsteps, he said without looking back: "I knew you were going to fight back, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Yang Ruoqing chuckled lightly, "Fourth uncle is indeed a man who serves the gods. He can predict events like a god."

Yang Huaming turned around and sat down on the futon next to him.

"Since you praise me for being a god at predicting things, then Fourth Uncle, let me guess your purpose of coming back again," he said.

Yang Ruoqing crossed her arms across her chest and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yang Huaming blinked: "You came here because of the incense ash, right? Do you want to thank me for coming up with such a good excuse to make your mother happy, right?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I can thank my fourth uncle at any time. There is no need to run back under the scorching sun."

"Oh? Then why did you come back?" Yang Huaming asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing lowered her arms and frowned slightly. She came to the incense table and looked at a few incense candles burning in the small incense burner.

"Uncle Fourth, if five incense candles are lit at the same time and end up burning into three long and two short ones, is this a coincidence, or does it have any bad implications?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Yang Huaming stood up from the futon and his expression became cautious.

"Why are you asking this? I don't know, I've never seen it..."

He said this, but he felt weak in his heart. This girl's eyes wouldn't be so sharp, right?

Yang Ruoqing turned around and looked at him, "Fourth Uncle, don't hide it from me. I saw it when you burned the incense."

Not only did I see the incense candle burn out "three long and two short", but I also saw you, the Fourth Uncle, pinch off a section of the incense candle as quickly as possible.

Yang Huaming was silent, and the expression on his face changed rapidly, as if he was thinking of some excuse to expose this matter.

"Fourth Uncle, I know you deliberately hid it from me because you didn't want me to worry, but I've seen it myself, so stop thinking of excuses to change the subject." Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly and sat down on a futon next to her.

, is it a coincidence?

Or are Xiao An and the others really in danger?

Today is the fourth day, and there has been no news from Juxian Town. No matter how stable the atmosphere is, it is a little unbearable.

Yang Huaming knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only sigh.

"Hey, it's strange to say. I've only heard that burning incense candles with three long and two short ones is unlucky. I didn't expect to see this one actually. At that time, I was shocked myself, for fear that your mother would see it."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, holding her knees with both hands, her eyes falling on a stone pier outside the hall, thoughtfully.

"Qing'er, I just heard about this kind of thing and don't take it seriously. After I bought the incense candle, I put it in the warehouse and didn't take it out to dry for a while.

Maybe some of them are contaminated by moisture, so they will burn slower than others, so don’t take it seriously."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Fourth Uncle, I won't be serious about this matter, but I have also decided that if I don't receive any more news tonight, I will go to Juxian Town personally tomorrow morning."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Yang Huaming asked.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head.

"I may take Xueyun and Narisong together, let me tell you first."

If it were in the past, it would be enough for her to take Liu Xueyun with her, and there would be no need to take Narisong with her.

But now Liu Xueyun has just gotten engaged to the third girl. Although Liu Xueyun still lives in the Luo family, the third girl comes to take care of the work in his house, such as changing clothes and so on.

The two young men would go to town to buy some things together every now and then, go to the Chen family to visit relatives, and then go to the dock in Wanghai County to help the Liu family buy goods.

The son-in-law is the son-in-law, so it is not an exaggeration for Yang Ruoqing to borrow Liu Xueyun and say hello to Yang Huaming.

Yang Huaming could feel the transformation that his son-in-law had brought to the fourth house after his daughter got engaged. It was a sense of solidity and dependence as the backbone of the family.

Because Sifang had Liu Xueyun as his little son-in-law, the villagers were much more polite to Sifang and Yang Huaming.

Look, even if Qing'er wants to borrow her son-in-law, she has to say hello to her father-in-law. What does this mean?

It shows that the younger son-in-law is a capable person.

"Qing'er, Xueyun was originally working with you. Just tell him what you want him to do. There's no need to tell me."

Yang Huaming smiled kindly, with joy and pride in his eyes and brows.

Yang Ruoqing also smiled and said, "This is different. He has an additional identity now. He is from your fourth room. Of course I have to tell your fourth uncle."

"I'll let you know when you get back to the third girl."
