Ever since Wang De was sent home by Zhao Si, he just smirked in a daze.I don't eat rice, I don't want tea, I just drink cold water.At first I struggled to get up, but after two days my head sank like a heavy rock, and I couldn't get up again.It's like floating in the fog all day long. When I close my eyes, I see a bloody human head rolling on the road. When I open my eyes, I see countless evil spirits laughing at him!Wake up and shout: "Sister Jing, don't be afraid! Knife!kill! Asleep and shout: "Old Zhang!"Look at the knife!kill!head! ..." Mrs. Wang and his wife panicked and took turns looking at their son day and night; Mrs. Wang cursed Li Jing incessantly. Mrs. Wang went to the village to ask for a doctor. Dispersing qi and detoxifying is cured by the law." A few herbal medicines were added, and the heart of ginger was used as a guide.Instruct old man Wang to close the window, and after taking the medicine, add two quilts and sweaty palms, it will be effective.Old man Wang followed suit one by one. Unexpectedly, Wang De's physique was special. After taking the medicine, he didn't sweat. He became even more angry. He kicked off the two quilts, held the pillow, opened his blood-red eyes, and said: "Run there, kill!"

If the medicine doesn't work, the second step is to pray to God. This is true of the so-called "science first, then religion".So Mrs. Wang went to the Niangniang Temple outside Xizhimen to burn incense, make a wish, and ask the gods for prescriptions.When the god came down, besides taking the incense ashes, scallions and scallions with yin and yang water, there was also a little poem: "All evils and adultery are the first, and all good and filial piety are the first. If you want to dispel evil spirits, you should ask for happiness." Mrs. Wang spent five copper coins in incense to ask the Taoist priests of the Niangniang Temple to explain the enlightenment from the gods.The Taoist said: "Evil spirits are haunted, demon foxes are haunted, dragons and phoenixes are married, and disasters will come back!"

Although Mrs. Wang doesn't understand literature, she is good at listening to Taoist priests and witches' argots. Because she is used to hearing them since she was a child, it is not difficult to guess the mystery.So she changed from three steps to two steps, and ran to the house to discuss with her husband to marry her son to fight against evil spirits.Old man Wang naturally didn't dare to go against God's will, gritted his teeth and cleared the three acres of land, and set up a shed for the wedding.There is no way to start a family for my son, although it is not easy to buy back three acres of land!

She married the second daughter of Chen Jiu, a horse dealer outside the Deshengmen Gate, who was really good at washing, working, and housekeeping!And the age is also appropriate, she is only twenty-seven years old this year.It takes a total of forty-eight hours from the proposal of marriage to the wedding.The Wang family is waiting for the bride to dispel evil spirits, while the Chen family still has four girls waiting to be married, one by one, the sooner the more the sooner it is. Lost and confused, Wang De was supported by two old women with red pomegranate flowers on their heads, worshiped heaven and earth, and entered the bridal chamber.

Sure enough, he woke up again and again.Seeing a big girl beside him, he was startled and shouted: "Mom! Mom! Come here!" "Here we come! My baby! Do you know that you are called 'Mom'! You are such a sweetheart!" Mrs. Wang cried and laughed when her son came to understand. "Who is she?" Wang De still couldn't sit up, and pointed at Miss Chen. "She! My baby! Thanks to her for dispelling your evil spirit, you killed me!" Madam Wang burst into tears again. "She is your daughter-in-law!" Wang De's eyes darkened, his throat felt sweet, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the quilt, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was as yellow as wax.

"My baby! Wang De! Wang De! Don't kill me! Wang De!" Mrs. Wang cried like a tearful person, and Miss Chen also stood aside and wept, but did not dare to cry loudly. I don't know what to cry even if I cry. The old man Wang ran in and was petrified, so he could only comfort them and say, "Just spit out the blood! Go! Make sugar water and pour it!" Wang De slowly woke up. I don't know if it was the function of the sugar water or what. He was too weak to get up, and it took more than half a month to gradually sit up. Taking water, food, and even the urinal, Miss Chen served Wang De dutifully.He ignored her at first, but she acted in a low voice without any resentment.Wang De couldn't help but softened his heart, and started talking to her.When Mrs. Wang heard the young couple talking, she laughed so hard that she couldn't describe it herself.

If there is no true love in the family, magic can be used instead!The family system of the wise Chinese will never decay, because they all do magic tricks.In the bag, on the side of the bag, there is nothing to hide and hide, change as soon as you say, change!Wang De is the little white rabbit under the burden, that little flower mouse!As for her, Miss Chen, she's just a little red bean held between Zhang Banxian's fingers!When he realized that he was the little white rabbit, he still had to admit that he and her, Little Red Bean, were the playthings of magicians; because of loving her and comforting her, they were the same material for being played by others!If you want to hate her and abandon her, except that you can really defeat all magicians, why would she ever be willing to live between the burden and the fingertips!

Wang De gradually regained his vitality, and the family was at peace. He went to the front door to get his luggage back, and then went to the newspaper office to see Mr. Lan, but Mr. Lan still didn't see him; so he devoted himself to helping his father as the mother of the land. I don't dare to take the risk of going to the city to find work.Besides, now he is not going to live for himself, but to be responsible to his wife, how dare he take the liberty to do it?But when the prodigal son turns back, the young man must go through a wild run, just like the run of a beast.Then to be the slave of parents with restraint is exactly what Wang and his wife are looking forward to!

As for Li Jing, he didn't forget her, but he didn't dare to see her, and he didn't dare to think about her; he already had a woman, and he should be responsible for the woman he already had!He is weak?Isn't Miss Chen pitiful?Sacrifice true love because of her pity?Can't!Who told you to be brave beforehand, what else can you say afterwards! What about Li Jing?I heard that Wang De is married, just listen!She only loses weight one day a day, that's all she can do, what else? ...
