Then someone in the village asked him: When you get old and can't get up from bed, who will give you food and drink? Who will beat gongs and drums for you to climb up the mountain?

This man's answer was also very personal: When I can run and walk, I can naturally support myself. When it comes to lying in bed and unable to get up, death is not far away.

And my parents and relatives have all died a long time ago. I might as well have died alone in this world without any attachment to them.

As for who will help me get up the mountain after I die?

Haha, then I’m not even worried. I closed my eyes and kicked my legs, and the neighbors and villagers would obediently get me away, or I’d stink them to death!

Beat gongs and drums?

That's even more ridiculous. I'm dead, I can't hear or see anything, and I'll never come back in this world. Does it matter whether I beat gongs or drums?

His words made the villagers who kindly advised him to start a family and leave descendants speechless.

Later, his father died, and he lived alone, guarding the three adobe houses his father left him.

Three years ago, he was working in the fields and was pecked out of one eye by a bird.

He went to another place to treat his eyes, and he stayed there for two years.

Two years later, he returned to the village. He was blind, but he wore strange clothes. He often held a fortune-telling stone in his hand. When he met everyone, he said that he had met an expert outside and could tell people about good or bad luck.

To seek good fortune and ward off evil spirits.

At first, everyone didn't believe him. Later, some people went to him for divination with the intention of giving it a try, and it really worked.

The word spread from ten to ten, and more and more people came to him for divination and divination. In the past year, his fame has spread throughout the villages.

The old bachelor back then suddenly became what others called Yu Banxian because he was blind in one eye.

Now that his family's few acres of land have been leased out, he sits at home every day and earns money by doing fortune-telling and other things, and his life is more prosperous than before.

Because Yu Xingkui's house and Yu Banxian's house are the front and back yards, sometimes when Yu Banxian is busy, the people who come to look for him to figure things out all line up in the yard.

Whenever this happens, Yu Banxian will call Yu Xingkui's mother to help him boil some hot water and make tea to greet people. If he receives a lot of things, he will also give some to Yu Xingkui's mother as a token gift.

"I think this Yu Banxian is a charlatan who relies on his words to deceive people. Mei'er will most likely be deceived." Mrs. Liu threw a chubby peanut into her mouth.

"If you are cheated, you will have to go back to your parents' home crying and screaming for help!"

"Probably not," Yang Ruoqing said, "because my grandma has already gone to Lao Wang's house to show her care."

…

The women here were distracted, and then Mrs. Tan came.

Mrs. Sun saw Mrs. Tan looking around, and Mrs. Sun also looked around, feeling faint in her heart.

Could it be that the old lady came here to catch the four younger siblings and gossip about them? Fortunately, everyone left early.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Mrs. Sun stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Mrs. Tan looked away and asked Mrs. Sun: "Qing'er is not here with you?"

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and said honestly: "Qing'er was here before and went back later."

"You accompany me to Luo's house, I have something to do with Qing'er," said Tan.

…

Yang Ruoqing returned to the dormitory, but Luo Fengtang was not at home and had gone to the county town with Ye Yi, so she was bored alone.

Just as Mrs. Sun was helping Mrs. Tan over, Yang Ruoqing happened to be standing at the window drinking water with a tea bowl and looking at the clusters of chrysanthemums outside the window.

Seeing Tan's windy steps and firm eyes, the corners of Yang Ruoqing's lips rose.

Okay, it's not boring now.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Yang Ruoqing greeted Mrs. Tan in the small hall next to the bedroom.

"Milk, drink tea."

Yang Ruoqing put the tea bowl in front of Mrs. Tan, and the bottom of the bowl hit the table with a very textured sound.

Mrs. Tan's eyes were fixed on the place where the tea bowl met the table, and her ears were raised.

It seemed like she was reminded of the fear of being dominated that day when she slapped this table.

"Nai, what's the matter with you coming here? Let's get straight to the point."

Yang Ruoqing made another bowl of tea for Mrs. Sun, sat aside and asked with a smile.

Mrs. Tan came back to her senses and looked directly at Yang Ruoqing: "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm here to ask you for something that Tang Yazi used."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "What do you want him to do with the things he used?"

Tan: "Warning off evil spirits."

Yang Ruoqing pulled her face down and said, "Nai, why do your words make me so unhappy?"

Ms. Sun, who was standing by her, also had a weird expression on her face, and reminded Ms. Tan in a low voice: "Mother, you have said everything."

When you first hear it, it really doesn’t sound good.

Just like Zhong Kui, it is also used to ward off evil spirits, but Zhong Kui is usually used to curse people.

Mrs. Tan was stunned for a moment and realized that she had spoken too hastily.

"What I mean is that your Tang Yazi is a great general and has such a strong aura that even evil spirits and outsiders will run away in fear when they see him."

"You can lend me something that Tang Yazi often uses, and I'll give it to Mei'er."

Yang Ruoqing's face was full of seriousness, "What happened to my aunt's house?"

Mrs. Tan said: "It's not bad. Her grandson cries at night and is uncontrollable. Yu Banxian said he was frightened outside."

"Didn't something happen to the Jiang family in our village during this period? Maybe Jiang Er was frightened and went over to calm things down with something."

Mrs. Tan explained patiently, and now Yang Ruoqing and Mr. Sun understood everything.

"Nai, is this the solution given by Yu Banxian?"

Yang Ruoqing sat firmly on the stool with no intention of getting up.

This kind of thing brought to town must be something close to Luo Fengtang, and it needs to attract the owner's aura to be useful.

Personal belongings are usually either clothes that he wears regularly, or jade pendants, folding fans, things that he often uses.

But I'm sorry, he never wears anything like a jade pendant or a folding fan. His sword is his good partner.

But a general cannot let the sword leave his body. The sword is also a murder weapon and is not suitable for loaning out. What should I do if I lose it? What should I do if someone accidentally hurts it?

"This is not the method given by Yu Banxian, it is my idea."

Mr. Tan is too honest and too lazy to tell lies, so he just leaves it as it is.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Oh, it turns out that Tan Banxian gave me the solution!"

"Then let me ask Tan Banxian, what kind of thing do you want to borrow?"

Without thinking, Mr. Tan said: "Either Tang Yazi's sword, or one of Tang Yazi's clothes that he often wears."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head decisively, "Those two things are not for loan. Let me think of something else!"

Tan's eyes widened: "Other things are of little use!"

"But of those two things, one is a very dangerous thing, and the other is too private, so they cannot be loaned out!"

Tan stared, but Yang Ruoqing's attitude was also more determined.

Tan grinded his teeth and subconsciously turned to Sun for help.

I hope Mrs. Sun can give me a few words of advice.

Mr. Bao Zi lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart.

Mr. Tan rolled his eyes. This gourd with a sawed mouth was really useless.
