6. Asking for a fortune

Under the weak command of the old Taoist priest, Xiao Wei began to cleanse his hands and mind, kneeled down in front of the mottled statue that had no image or momentum, and finally shook the cracked and greasy stick tube, and finally a divination stick flew out.

Xiao Wei picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly changed. He saw the following words written on it: Life and death have passed many times, mad on the surface but clear on the heart. If you were to leave your hometown a thousand miles away, you would be energetic even in a place without any spirit.

The eldest sister-in-law saw Xiao Wei staring at the old Taoist priest in a daze, which was not right. She took the fortune stick in confusion and her expression changed as well. She looked at the old Taoist priest strangely, then at Xiao Wei.

As the daughter of a rich peasant, the eldest sister-in-law didn't know many words, but she could still recognize the words on the signature. What surprised her was that Xiaowei, who had never been to school, also obviously recognized it.

The illiterate brother felt disappointed when he saw that no one was talking, and asked if it was a bad fortune.

The eldest sister-in-law read out the four sentences, and the old Taoist priest said with relief: "My eyes are not clear, and it is rare that the female donor can read."

The eldest brother asked with difficulty what it meant, and the old Taoist replied calmly: "There is no need to explain this, the meaning is very clear, this little girl can only be safe if she leaves her ancestors and roots."

The four of them were silent for a while, and the eldest brother said, "Let's go home."

Xiao Wei continued to pretend to be mute and made gestures for a long time before her sister-in-law understood what she meant: After arriving here, I feel much calmer and want to stay here for a few days.

The eldest sister-in-law said, "How can that be possible? It's not convenient for a girl to live outside."

The eldest brother said, "Then stay for a few days. There are gods in the temple, and evil spirits dare not come in. Maybe staying for a few days will make you better."

The eldest sister-in-law wanted to insist, but Xiao Wei pulled her out of the hall and into a relatively good wing room, and whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, please convince eldest brother to move out as soon as possible. I will find a way to pay for the trip."

"You are just a little girl, what can you do?"

"You'll know in a few days."

"Do you really have to go?"

"Yes. If we don't leave, we will all die."

Seeing that Xiao Wei was serious and didn't seem to be joking at all, the eldest sister-in-law still couldn't make up her mind and asked vaguely: "When did you learn to read?"

Xiao Wei thought that soon everyone would be able to learn literacy, and most people would be able to read. But he said, "I learned it secretly from Mr. Huang."

The sister-in-law's doubts were not dispelled, but she did not delve into it further and asked Xiaowei if he really wanted to live here.

Xiao Wei was very sure: "Stay here for a few days and tell people it was the old Taoist's idea."

The eldest sister-in-law nodded: "Okay, you clean the room first, and I will bring the bedding rolls in the evening."

Madmen are unreasonable and erratic, which can make everyone fear and stay away from them, including their relatives. Therefore, when they heard that Xiao Wei wanted to live in the temple, although his brother and sister-in-law felt it was inappropriate, they did not object too much.

Another important reason for not objecting was that the fear of ghosts and gods had been deeply rooted in people's bones for thousands of years. Temples were the best places to avoid evil spirits, and living in them could at least protect them from Wang Youfu's clutches.

The villagers would have no objection. The madman is a waste and should be suppressed by ghosts and gods and should be eliminated by ghosts and gods as soon as possible.

There was only a shabby simple wooden bed and a long table in the room. It was easy to clean. After cleaning, I helped the old Taoist priest to clean up and wash the bedding and clothes. I sighed from time to time that the world was too backward. There was not even a soap, so I could only use soapberry leaves and pot ash to beat and knead things randomly.

My eldest sister-in-law’s surname is Yang, and her given name is Huiyun. In the countryside, this name is considered elegant. The children of rich peasants naturally have different names from ordinary people.

Regarding this point, Xiao Wei once lamented that the lives of landlords and rich peasants can be deprived and their property can be divided equally, but their genes and intelligence cannot be arbitrarily controlled for the time being. Unfortunately, this situation will not last long and will soon be forcibly equalized.

After washing the clothes, she hung them under the eaves and then carefully cleaned the main hall and the only four remaining small rooms. She was so happy that she almost sang out loud.

Once a person goes crazy, he will gain ultimate freedom. Xiao Wei felt refreshed like never before.

She was staring at a leaky roof in a daze when someone suddenly hugged her from behind and kissed her neck and hair. It was clearly Wang Youfu: "Wife, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Wei struggled to twist, but failed to break free, and was instead pressed to the ground by him. This body was too thin and weak, far from being a match for Wang Youfu, so he had to use a dirty trick, hitting his lower body with his legs and biting his arm.

Wang Youfu was not an ordinary bachelor. He did not let go even when bitten. He put his other hand into Xiaowei's underwear and joked: "My dear wife, don't kiss my hand if you want to."

Seeing that this guy was not afraid, Xiao Wei increased the strength of his mouth and shook his head, as if he was going to bite off a piece of flesh through his spring clothes.

As they were rolling around in each other's arms, the old Taoist priest who heard the noise came running over, swung his stick at the broken door, and with a "bang", he said, "Stop being so presumptuous. If you don't let go, I'll beat you to death."

Wang Youfu didn't care at all and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me kissing my wife? What's it to you?"

The old Taoist priest's momentum suddenly weakened: "How can this be allowed in broad daylight?"

Wang Youfu laughed: "You old man, I'm afraid you have never seen a woman in your life, do you want to try it together?"

The old Taoist priest was so angry that he smashed the broken door again: "You rat, shameless!"

Wang Youfu was even more proud: "Don't spoil the fun, get out of the way."

The old Taoist priest did not retreat but advanced, bent over and pulled tremblingly, but was kicked over by Wang Youfu and screamed in pain.

Xiao Wei took the opportunity to open his mouth, rolled to the side, jumped up, and viciously picked up the stick that the old Taoist priest had thrown away and started smashing him.

Wang Youfu dodged while laughing and cursing: "You are a traitor to me for daring to kill your husband."

After being driven out of the door, Erzi laughed and said, "It's not convenient during the day, so I'll come at night. My dear wife, don't forget to leave the door open for me."

In fact, Xiao Wei did not kill him.

After all, Wang Youfu, like the village chief's father, was a real villain. Although he was shameless, he was not cunning. He was much brighter than the hypocrite like the old Taoist priest, who was later crippled because of his work style.

Village Chief Wang was originally a bandit. He participated in the murder of Big Head's grandfather's family. Later, he was recruited by the 17th Army. In several battles to drive away the enemy, he injured a leg. After the establishment of the new government, he became the village chief. Later, he was betrayed by his son Wang Youfu, lost his job and was criticized, and never recovered.

God will punish the villain, so Xiaowei doesn't need to do it himself.

Besides, even if Wang Youfu injured someone, the villagers and his parents would only blame him. Breaking off the engagement was just a verbal proposal and had not become a reality. Xiao Wei's birth date was still at the Wang family's kitchen.

The engagement was not cancelled, and according to custom, Xiao Wei was Wang Youfu's wife. It was natural for Wang Youfu to flirt with his wife, but Xiao Wei was crazy and ungrateful.

Xiao Wei's parents and relatives even hoped that Wang Youfu would succeed. It was Xiao Wei's honor to have the marriage done. Even if Xiao Wei was disabled, the Wang family would still be responsible. Therefore, Xiao Wei was the only one who was wrong. Marrying into the village chief's family was something that others would be happy for.

In a word, if Xiao Wei resists Wang Youfu, he will be condemned by everyone.

This is also the reason why Wang Youfu is so confident.

Oh my, the dumb character must not collapse.

Escape is imminent.
