Chapter 23 Chapter 21: Handsome Woman Shi Miaoshou

Master Zhang Yao helped Bai Xiaoyang into the hall of enjoyment of the ancestral hall. The people outside did not follow up, but stood outside the door of the ancestral hall, chirping like sparrows. In the Xiangtang, Zhang Ziheng and the two foolish boys stood beside the upright Master Tuo, and the fire was still burning. Seeing Zhang Yaoye helping a young and beautiful woman in, they all looked at him with puzzled faces. . Just as Zhang Ziheng was about to ask, Master Zhang Yao spoke first: "Don't ask anything, just listen to Xiaobai's arrangement." Bai Xiaoyang glanced at Master Tuo lying in the straw, with a very calm expression on his face.She whispered to Zhang Yaoye: "Yaoye, let them all go out. You just need to be my helper inside."

Master Zhang Yao cocked his lips at Zhang Ziheng. Zhang Ziheng obediently led the two stunned boys out, before leaving the enjoyment hall, Zhang Ziheng said: "Master Yao, then I will find Zihao to make a firebox for Master Tuo." Master Zhang Yao scolded Zhang Ziheng: "You're a ghost fire box! Master Tuo is not dead at all!" Zhang Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Not dead?" Zhang Yaoye seemed very impatient and said: "Stop talking nonsense here, get out quickly. Send two people to guard Ziyin's corpse in the courtyard, don't scare the corpse!"

Zhang Ziheng walked out in a daze. Zhang Yaoye went to close the door of Xiangtang, turned around, and under the swaying firelight, Bai Xiaoyang was set off even more handsome and beautiful. Master Zhang Yao couldn't help sighing secretly: "Isn't this the reincarnation of the white lady? How can there be such a delicate and refined woman in the world?" He walked to Bai Xiaoyang's side again, and Bai Xiaoyang's forehead and nose were already covered with fine sweat. Master Zhang Yao worriedly asked: "Xiaobai, is it okay?" Bai Xiaoyang still smiled kindly at Mr. Zhang Yao, and said, "It's okay, Mr. Yao."

Bai Xiaoyang's crisp and tender voice made Master Zhang Yao's heart feel so comfortable.But looking at this bizarre couple in distress, Mr. Zhang Yao felt a touch of emotion in his heart at the same time, and his nose was sour. Bai Xiaoyang asked Zhang Yaoye to find her something to sit on.Zhang Yaoye walked around in the Xiangtang for a long time but couldn't find anything that could be put under his buttocks, so he said with some resentment: "I think at the beginning, the furniture in this Xiangtang was not the best, but now it has nothing but a cushion." There is nothing in the buttocks. What is a bandit? This is the real blatant bandit!"

Bai Xiaoyang seemed a little unable to hold on, and whispered to Zhang Yaoye: "Yaoye, don't worry about complaining, you should hurry up and find me a seat." Zhang Yaoye saw that Bai Xiaoyang was struggling to stand, so he rolled a straw mat for her to help her sit down, and said, "Xiaobai, I can only wrong you." Bai Xiaoyang still smiled and said to Master Zhang Yao: "This is not wronged." Based on Zhang Yaoye's life experience, he could still see from Bai Xiaoyang's eyebrows that this was a woman who was hiding a sorrow in her heart, and she felt a little more affection for this woman in her heart.

Bai Xiaoyang sat on the straw cushion, took a few breaths, and frowned slightly. Master Zhang Yao also saw this subtle expression for real. Bai Xiaoyang finally put the exquisite box in his hand on the ground, and slowly opened it. Zhang Yaoye stared intently at the box opened by Bai Xiaoyang. Inside the box was a piece of brocade with gold and embroidered phoenixes. When the brocade was opened, it was a piece of red silk covered with fine silver needles. Master Zhang Yao whispered, "Isn't this a silver needle?" Bai Xiaoyang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's a silver needle. It's a good thing left by our ancestors."

Zhang Yaoye said: "This is indeed a good thing. There used to be a local doctor fifty miles away from us. He was good at piercing silver needles and cupping. If anyone suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, he would be cured with just one stab! I used to suffer from rheumatism, so I went to him It’s fine after two pricks. It’s amazing!” Bai Xiaoyang said, "Is that local doctor surnamed Wan?" Master Zhang Yao immediately said: "Yes, yes, his surname is Wan! Everyone calls him Wanshenxian. It is said that his craftsmanship is amazing. He is over eighty years old, and he can still knock down four or five young people with his bare hands."

Bai Xiaoyang smiled and said nothing. Master Zhang Yao came back to his senses and said, "Do you know the Ten Thousand Immortals?" Bai Xiaoyang smiled faintly: "I heard about it too." As he said that, Bai Xiaoyang had already moved his body, and gently rubbed the temples on both sides of Master Tuo with a pair of delicate and slender hands... After rubbing for a while, Master Tuo's ferocious smile that had been frozen on his face gradually disappeared from his ugly face.Master Tuo's expression appeared calm and serene, although still very ugly, but not so scary.

Zhang Yaoye said in disbelief, "Could it be that Master Tuo is really not dead?" Bai Xiaoyang said: "He didn't die in the first place." Zhang Yaoye said: "Then why did I feel his nose and he didn't breathe, his heart was cold, and he didn't move at all? Oh, by the way, I forgot to take his pulse just now." Bai Xiaoyang smiled and continued to rub Master Tuo's temples while saying, "You can take his pulse and there is no movement at all. If you don't believe me, try it." Master Zhang Yao really stretched out his hand to pinch Master Tuo's veins, took Master Tuo's hand, and said: "Male left and female right." He changed another hand.

Bai Xiaoyang laughed softly: "Master Yao is wrong, it's Master Tuo's left hand, not yours." Master Zhang Yao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Look at me, I'm an old fool." He picked up Master Tuo's left hand, probed carefully on the pulse gate for a while, and said, "There is really no movement at all." Bai Xiaoyang said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" Master Zhang Yao said very curiously: "Then what's going on?" Bai Xiaoyang looked at Master Zhang Yao with a relaxed and confident smile on his face.Master Zhang Yao also looked at Bai Xiaoyang, as if eager to know the answer.

Bai Xiaoyang said: "Master Yao, may I give you an analogy?" Master Zhang Yao said, "Okay, I'll listen." Bai Xiaoyang said: "You always have to close the door when you sleep, right?" "close." "Close the door and sleep, so people outside can't come in, and can't disturb you, right?" "yes." "And then you slept soundly and deeply." "right." Bai Xiaoyan said, "Do you understand what I mean now?" Zhang Yaoye was even more confused, and said, "I don't understand! Why are you talking about sleeping again? This is something that can't be beat together!" Bai Xiaoyang said: "The current Master Tuo is equivalent to closing the door and sleeping inside. If no one wakes him up, he won't wake up, and he might just fall asleep." Master Zhang Yao suddenly realized: "Is it so magical?" Bai Xiaoyang said: "It's just so amazing." As he spoke, Bai Xiaoyang stopped rubbing Master Tuo's temples with his hands, twisted two silver needles from the box, and skillfully inserted them slowly into Master Tuo's temples on both sides. Master Zhang Yao still didn't believe Bai Xiaoyang's words, and said, "Master Tuo can really come back to life?" Bai Xiaoyang said: "Ye Ye, don't worry, I will wake him up in a while." Master Zhang Yao felt that what Bai Xiaoyang said was simply too bizarre, so he read it more carefully. Bai Xiaoyang then inserted a silver needle into Master Tuo's head.She asked Zhang Yaoye to expose Tuo Master's armpits, and inserted the silver needles respectively, and asked Zhang Yaoye to take off the padded jacket covering Tuo Master's body to the waist, and continued to insert it into Tuo Master's dantian. A silver needle. Then, Bai Xiaoyang took out a pompom-shaped thing from the bottom of the box. As soon as this small thing was taken out, a strange fragrance wafted from it. Zhang Yaoye was extremely curious and said, "Xiaobai, what is this thing? Why is it so fragrant?" Bai Xiaoyang said, "This is moxa." Zhang Yaoye let out a half-understanding sound. Bai Xiaoyang said to Mr. Zhang Yao: "Mr. Yao, can you give me the fire you used to light cigarettes?" Master Zhang Yao hurriedly took out a match and lit one. Bai Xiaoyang lit the moxa, and a strange scent wafted out along with the curling green smoke, filling the room with a strange scent! Bai Xiaoyang gently ironed Master Tuo's dantian with the lighted moxa. After a while, the moxa was burned out, and a lingering light smoke disappeared. A mischievous smile appeared on Bai Xiaoyang's face, and he said to Zhang Yaoye who was watching intently: "Okay, Yaoye, shall we wake up Master Tuo?" Master Zhang Yao nodded frequently and said, "Okay, okay." Bai Xiaoyang moved the straw mat to the soles of Master Tuo's feet, sat down, then inserted two silver needles into the soles of Master Tuo's feet, and rubbed the needles gently with his slender fingers. A miracle happened at this moment, Zhang Yaoye watched Master Tuo's big toe move. Now Master Zhang Yao was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.He wondered if his eyes were dazzled, and when he looked again, Master Tuo's big toe moved again, and then moved again... Zhang Yaoye looked up at Bai Xiaoyang, and Bai Xiaoyang was looking at him with a smile.At this time, Bai Xiaoyang's smile was pure and beautiful, like a pool of lake water in spring, rippling layer by layer in this warm room. Zhang Yaoye's eyes lit up with excitement. At this time, he saw Master Tuo's fingers move.Then it was one more time, two times, three times... Zhang Yaoye yelled at Bai Xiaoyang: "Move! Move! Master Tuo is moving!" Bai Xiaoyang just looked at Zhang Yaoye with a smile, and kept rubbing his fingers on the silver needle without saying a word... Master Zhang Yao murmured: "This is really amazing, it's even more amazing than the panacea for bringing the dead back to life!" Bai Xiaoyang said jokingly, "Master Yao, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Zhang Yaoye kept saying: "I didn't lie to me, I really didn't lie to me, hehe...it's amazing! It's amazing! It's amazing! Tsk tsk..." Bai Xiaoyang said: "These are all things left by our ancestors. So there are still good things left by our ancestors?" Zhang Yaoye said: "Of course there are good things left by the ancestors. Look at the present, one moment destroys the four olds, one moment cleans up bandits and overthrows tyrants, another moment destroys feudal superstitions, and then sweeps away ghosts and monsters. People are like crazy. Smashing, destroying, looting, and ruining the things left by the ancestors. Alas! It's pure nonsense! In this world, I don't know what kind of shitty convulsion it is!" Bai Xiaoyang said softly to Zhang Yaoye: "Yaoye, don't talk nonsense about what you said. Just tell me here." Master Zhang Yao said: "I know! I have been holding back these words for a long time in my heart, but I just dare not say them. If I hadn't met you today, I would have had to rot these words in my stomach." Bai Xiaoyang said: "Master Yao, it seems that you are still a sensible person here." Zhang Yaoye became a little proud and said: "That is! Otherwise, my Yaoye's prestige would not be so high in Woniu Village!" Bai Xiaoyang said: "I can see that even young people listen to you." Zhang Yaoye became even more flustered, and said: "That is, who would dare to act obscenely in front of my Yaoye, unless he wants to get hurt." Bai Xiaoyang was amused by Zhang Yaoye's words, and her charming smile bloomed brighter and brighter on her face...
