Splendid Twins

Si Yao glanced at the embroiderer sitting in the audience through the crowd, then turned to ask Hong Ying:

"Do you still want to learn? There are 360 ​​trades. If you can't do this one, try another one."

Hongying's originally aggrieved mood was amused by this sentence. She sniffed and whispered:

"Learn! I'm not the one who did something wrong. I have no reason to back down."

Si Yao stared at Hongying steadily, and after a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly:

"Then learn it. Do it boldly and feel free. My place is always open to you."

Hongying nodded with gratitude, and became more determined to learn embroidery well. It was Sister Yao who gave her unprecedented courage!

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Si Yao said a few words of comfort and left. After Si Yao left, the embroiderer stood up to deal with the dispute between the three embroiderers. After dismissing the thief, she waved to Hongying:

"Do you really want to learn or are you just trying to scare yourself?"

"I have both!"

The embroiderer smiled faintly: "From tomorrow on, you will follow me."

Hongying followed the embroiderer up to the embroidery building under the envious eyes of the crowd. Liu Yaru beside her had an extremely ugly expression...

Si Yao didn't feel like continuing shopping anymore, so she bought some things on the way and went home. When she came back, she saw Lu Yuan and her father cleaning the door together?

Liu Niang took a broom to sweep the ashes at the door. Si Yao put down what he was holding and asked:

"What are you..."

"This time it was all thanks to Lu Yuan. As soon as we entered the village, we saw smoke coming out of the house. We ran back and saw your aunt lighting a bundle of firewood at the door. Fortunately, Lu Yuan came and put out the fire."

"I had a fight with your aunt, it was so maddening!"

It was the first time in Liu Niang's life that she had a fight with someone, and it was a fight with her sister-in-law who had bullied her for many years. She felt more and more that she was so useless in the past. She had suffered for many years in vain and had not lived a good life!

"Mom, you said you had a fight with her?"

Si Yao was a little bit unconvinced, because she knew very well how useless her parents were.

"It was also the first time I saw your mother being so aggressive. She rode on your aunt's wife and scratched her face. A lot of her hair fell out and her clothes were torn."

Si Lao Er said as he wiped the floor that since his daughter came back, first his two sons had changed, and now even the person next to him had changed. If he didn't change, he might not be able to fit into this family...

"Mom is awesome. We have to be like this in the future. We won't bully others, but we must never be bullied by others."

Si Yao guided Liu Niang with seductive words, saying that she was fortunate to live under the red flag and received a lot of teachings, which cultivated the characteristics of a new-age woman who did not hide when faced with problems and had her own opinions and ideas. Liu Niang was the most ordinary woman living in this era. She had no opportunity to receive education and no social status. She relied on her husband to survive when she was young, and would rely on her son to support her in the future. Therefore, she could not accuse Liu Niang of being weak and incompetent in an ultra-superior manner.

"Mom knows. No one can bully our family again."

Liu Niang said this with a smile on her face, her whole body exuding an unprecedented confidence and emboldened attitude. She swept the yard quickly and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Lu Yuan, please stay for dinner later."

Si Laoer felt that Lu Yuan was no longer as weird as before. Although he didn't talk much now, people could understand. Wang had just put the firewood at the door and lit it when they came back. He still had some distance to reach the door of his house. He saw Lu Yuan coming down the mountain and shouted hurriedly. He thought Lu Yuan might not understand, but he ran over with his long legs in two or three steps to put out the fire and pushed Wang to the ground. This gave his wife the opportunity to pounce on him and fight.

Lu Yuan put out the fire as soon as it started, leaving only traces of smoke on the door. Si Yao came over and stopped him:

"Okay."

"Ah."

Lu Yuan put away the rag and stood up. Si Lao Er looked up at Si Yao and then at Lu Yuan, frowning:

"He, why doesn't he pay attention to me? I've been talking for a long time."

"Hehe, maybe he doesn't like what you said."

Si Yao deliberately made a joke. Lu Yuan's condition was better than she thought. The person behind the scenes tried to make Lu Yuan go increasingly crazy and die silently!

It’s a pity that Lu Yuan met her!

For dinner, there was a table full of Liu Niang's signature dishes, including a pot of steamed white rice, scrambled eggs with spinach, braised pork, hot and sour cabbage, a dish of cold shredded radish, and a bowl of minced meat and tofu soup. The shredded radish was sent by an aunt in the village who was learning how to make cold dishes.

"Lu Yuan, eat more."

Liu Niang knew that Lu Yuan had a big appetite so she specially filled a large bowl for him. Lu Yuan didn't care about anything else but just shoveled rice into his mouth. Si Lao Er was afraid that he would choke so he took the initiative to scoop a bowl of soup and put it in front of him. Si Yao stretched out her hand to remind him:

"Eat slowly."

After he said this, Lu Yuan slowed down his eating pace. He looked at Si Yao carefully while eating and pushed the dishes towards Si Yao in a flattering manner.

Liu Niang and Si Laoer were a little dumbfounded. So obedient?

The sky quietly darkened and the whole village fell into silence. After sending Lu Yuan away, Si Yao went back to the house to prepare some things.

The night sky is pitch black tonight. Without the moon, even the stars are hidden. Only the vague outlines of the mountains in the distance can be seen. There is a mysterious and silent atmosphere in the air, as if all sounds have been swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only stillness and silence.

Si Yao waited until midnight and went out. She stopped at an intersection, took out the five elements paper, golden talismans and paper money for the dead from the space, and then lit a soul-guiding incense exchanged in the space!

The night wind blew away the floating smoke. Si Yao lowered her head and opened her red lips slightly:

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Take the things and go to reincarnate. You have cut off his grandson's cultural lineage, which can be considered revenge. Staying here will only increase your sinful debt!"

After a while, a shadow appeared in front of her. The black shadow grabbed at her with its fangs and claws, but was bounced back by an invisible resistance in front of Si Yao. The black shadow seemed unwilling to give up and launched an attack again. Si Yao raised her hand and waved, and the shadow instantly quieted down.

"Go ahead, God will take care of the rest!"

The flame rising from Si Yao's palm burned all the banknotes, and when the soul-guiding incense went out, the black shadow also disappeared.

Si Yao was able to pass the imperial examination at such a young age because of the blessing of Wenquxing, but old man Si committed sins and behaved like a human being, so the cause and effect fell on his most promising grandson. The shadow just now was the result of the resentment of the woman that old man Si killed.

If she does not take action and leaves nothing to do, the resentment will eventually condense into a vengeful spirit that will be difficult to deal with. After all, this is only Old Man Si's debt!

Old Man Si had to sleep on his stomach because he was beaten all night. His dreams were filled with the cries of women and children, shouting and cursing, and blood all over the floor...

When Mrs. Si heard him shouting and screaming, she knew he was having a nightmare, and she took great pains to wake him up. At this time, he was sweating all over and his face was full of fear, knowing that if he didn't wake up, he would never wake up!

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down and feeling the urge to urinate, Old Man Si got up, put on his clothes and went outside. While he was solving his personal problem, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and shuddered. He hurriedly pulled up his pants and walked into the house. When he saw the door, he suddenly stopped moving!

He fell to the ground with his body stiff and eyes wide open. The noise startled Mrs. Si so much that she quickly put on her clothes and came out to take a look. Her face was filled with fear:

"What's wrong with you, old man? Say something!"

Old Man Si opened his eyes but could not utter a word. He could feel his body gradually losing consciousness, and there was a strong fear in his eyes...

"Someone come! Someone from the old house come quickly, old man, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Si was weak and could only lie on the side and shout loudly. Before Wang came out, she helped old man Si tighten his clothes. Soon the whole village was noisy. Every household lit torches and went out to check the situation. The village chief walked very fast with two different shoes on his feet. He had a bad feeling in his heart...
