Chapter 60 Section Fourteen

Facing the blinding sunlight, the stranger stretched and covered his open yawning mouth with his hand.This series of actions was immediately recognized, and it turned out that this person was my grandfather. At first glance, my grandpa, who has been living in the counting room for half a month, completely changed his appearance.He looked at his grandfather who was still young at the time with tired and relieved eyes.That gaze hit Grandpa like the sun, slightly dazzling but very warm, and it was easy to be intoxicated by it.The corners of Grandpa's mouth curled into two smiling arcs, and his body softened without warning, and he collapsed on the moss-covered steps at the door like slime.

Grandpa and grandma came back to their senses and immediately went to help him up.When he helped grandpa to rest in another room, grandpa looked back at the place where grandpa sat every night, a broken abacus, and the beads rolled all over the table like loose soybeans ; a neat pile of raw-edged paper, like the bean curds sold by hawkers in the morning market. At that time, grandpa just turned his head to look at the paper with rough edges like bean skin, but at that time he never imagined that the pen and ink on the paper had already outlined a part of his life, let alone how many years after his father passed away, he would meet again in the latrine These plain raw-edged papers.

Taoist Gui would never have imagined that the "Master Horse" chanted by the wife would discover a big secret in the stinking toilet, which would disrupt all his plans. Taoist Gui inspected Yaoyao's house for a long time, and told Xuan Po: "Sprinkle lime in those corners, and spread it into a quarter arc shape." Xuan Po sprinkled lime according to the corners pointed out by Taoist Gui .The sides of the blue bricks in these corners grew fluffy white nitrate. If you use a match to touch it, the whole wall will burn.When I was young, a cousin often led me to scrape these things with broken porcelain on the walls of other people’s houses, and then burn them together. The cotton-like white nitrate burns quickly and disappears like firecrackers. In an instant, the smooth white snow was trampled by countless footsteps and became dirty and black.

After the election woman had finished spreading the lime in the dustpan, several women who met by the laundry sink came.Xuan Po looked dumbfounded at the trembling women walking over.The slender and slender bodies just now are now unbearably bloated, and all of them have bulging stomachs, which are as big as balloons that have been blown up.Especially the third aunt, whose belly was so big that she lost her center of gravity, so she had to lean her head back and her belly forward, trying to maintain her balance. "This, this, what's going on here?" Xuan Po dropped the dustpan in her hand and asked, pointing to the big bellies of several women, "It's been a while since I saw you, you guys, why are you all pregnant? You still have such a big belly Stomach? Like being pregnant in October!"

The third aunt took a model step and walked around the selected woman, raised her head and smiled and said: "My mother's son is as high as a pole. I didn't expect my mother to be pregnant again, haha!" The woman leaned forward and backward with laughter.Then someone revealed their secrets. A pillow slid out from under a woman's clothes and fell to the ground with a side of plaster on it.The woman quickly picked up the pillow and complained: "Oh, the pillow that was dried yesterday is dirty again!" Seeing this, Xuan Po laughed and became even more confused: "Why are you pretending to be pregnant?" Yaoyao couldn't help laughing, caressing the "big belly" of the third aunt and joked: "Your child is a few months old!" ? Are you coming to make a doll kiss with the child in my belly?"

Taoist Gui said seriously to the third aunt and the others: "Start!" As soon as the order was given, the women present immediately called out "Ouch, Ouch", and rubbed their stomachs with both hands, with rich expressions, not like wailing, but rather like Maitreya Buddha grinning. The third aunt shouted: "No, no, it's going to be like this, ouch... oh... my god... yo..." The third aunt showed others how to behave realistically while speaking.She gesticulated and said: "You have to scream like it, or you won't be able to fool it." "Cheat it? Whom?" Xuan Po asked, rubbing the back of her head.

No one answered him, and a few women with "big bellies" imitated the third aunt and called out "Ouch, Ouch", with voices one after another, and for a while, Yaoyao's home was like a delivery room in a hospital. A gust of wind blew, and a thin layer of limestone on the ground was blown away, and everyone could smell a stinky smell of blood.But no one noticed that there was a small cut in the arc-shaped lime line cast by Xuan Po, and the cut was in the direction of the strong wind.Of course, this small change cannot escape the eyes of Taoist Gui. "Don't go!" Gui Taoist shouted to the air in the main room.

"Who are you telling me not to leave?" Xuan Po asked puzzled.Xuan Po muttered in her heart: Everyone at the scene didn't move half a step, why is Taoist Gui so nervous? "Look." Gui Taoist pointed to the ground and said to Xuan Po.Xuan Po lowered her head and looked down, still looking back at Taoist Gui in puzzlement. Taoist Gui said, "Look again." Xuan Po looked down at the ground for a while, but still shook her head and didn't understand.But the third aunt shouted: "I saw it!" "Did you see it? What did you see?" Xuan Po narrowed her eyes and asked the third aunt who was making a fuss.After speaking, he leaned over to Third Aunt and looked in the same direction.

"Footprints." The third aunt pointed to a place three or four steps away in front of her and said to Xuan Po, "It's thin and faint, do you see it?" This time, Xuan Po wiped her eyes before paying attention to the direction Third Aunt was facing.Sure enough, he saw faint footprints on the ground!The footprints are printed by the lime powder he sprinkled, which cannot be thinner and lighter.One, two, three, four... more and more footprints, and the footprints bypassed the people in the main room and gradually walked towards the gate. "Ghost, ghost, ghost!" The other women were trembling with fright, supporting each other and hugging each other, their shoulders trembling slightly.If it weren't for Taoist Gui standing here, they might run faster than rabbits.

"Where do you want to escape? They can't see you, but I can see you!" Gui Daoist had already flashed to the door, blocking the only exit, like a cloud falling from the sky.The light in the room was not very good, and this group of "dark clouds" blocked the door, making the room even darker.Even if she opened her eyes wide, she would not be able to see the faint lime footprints. "You are not a womanizer." Gui Taoist said proudly, bending the left corner of his mouth. "Not a womanizer?" Xuan Po's eyes were bigger than copper bells, "What the hell is that?"
