Granny Li stroked the kitchen knife in her hand, her eyes darkened.The technique of expelling barbarians is a technique passed down from generation to generation in the Zhang family.She used to be the official Zhu, and she also used this technique for the emperor to transfer the disaster that was originally the emperor to the officials or the people.This technique works against the sky, if there is a slight carelessness, it will be backlashed, and it will never be restored.

The Zhang family has relied on this for generations to receive the grace of the saints, and they finally counterattacked.Hundreds of people died suddenly, leaving her alone.When she first escaped, she considered herself lucky.Now that I think about it carefully, this is the biggest punishment.Watching your loved ones die in front of you one by one, but there is nothing you can do.You can only live alone in this indifferent world with guilt, remorse, resentment and despair, and the endless pain devours you over and over again, and you are so painful that you don't want to live.

She closed her eyes deeply, her chest heaved violently several times, and finally suppressed the grief that was about to burst out of her chest and seized the opportunity to take root.

This technique of expelling barbarians is very clumsy in her opinion, and it is not difficult to crack it.God let her meet this, is it giving her a chance to redeem her sins?

Mrs. Li helped Li Hu up, her eyes regained the clarity before, she forced a smile and said, "When did I say I can't save it? But I need a few things, and none of them is indispensable."

Li Hu asked anxiously, "What?"

"A rooster, a pair of red candles, a pair of iron scissors, and a pile of straw."

Li Hu promised to come down and prepare quickly. The rooster, iron scissors, and straw are easy to find.Only Hongzhu searched the whole village, but couldn't find one.

He took the things he had prepared and walked up to Mrs. Li, and saw her sitting quietly on the long bench in the yard, her whole body seemed to be covered with a cold and majestic atmosphere, like the grand master of the county town, which made people shudder.The noise and discussions around her will not affect her at all, she is detached and refined, like a god who has fallen into the mortal world to save everyone, and cannot be violated.

Li Hu felt strange in his heart, and he was even more afraid to tell Granny Li that he hadn't found Hong Zhu.

He silently put the things in front of Mrs. Li and stepped aside, standing with his head bowed respectfully.I saw Mrs. Li grabbing a handful of straw, and her withered and slender forefinger carried the straw through it. After a while, a scarecrow appeared in her hand.

She ordered Li Hu to kill the rooster and let the blood out, and then stuffed the scarecrow's head into the chicken blood.The withered and yellow straw was stained black and red with blood, which was very terrifying.The raised grass branches on it are like a man-eating bloody mouth.As soon as the cold wind blows, one sheet closes, as if it is making a melodious sound from hell.

Grandma Li put the grass figurine on the table, took out a small clean bowl, and said to Li Hu, "Use iron scissors to make a small cut on your mother's hand, and bring me a brush."

Hearing the order, Li Hu immediately went to do it, and struggled for a while looking for a brush.

Now there are many people around the gate of the Li family's courtyard. They all heard that Aunt Li was possessed by a ghost, and Mrs. Li came to exorcise the ghost.Everyone knows that Mrs. Li is powerful, but she has never seen the trick of exorcising ghosts.Although there was some fear in my heart, in the end curiosity prevailed.Everyone gathered outside the door, watching Mrs. Li write Aunt Li's birth date stroke by stroke.

"Where is the red candle?" Mrs. Li asked.

After hearing this, Li Hu lowered his eyes in embarrassment. He borrowed all the money in the whole village but failed.Candles are precious things, and they are not affordable for poor people.What's more, it's a red candle, and ancestor worship may not be willing to buy one.

"My wife went to borrow it." Li Hu's daughter-in-law's natal village was married a few days ago, and I heard that she bought a red candle.

After Li Hu finished speaking, he looked out anxiously, and finally hoped for his wife to come back.Li Hu's daughter-in-law ran back against the heavy snow, out of breath from exhaustion.

"Where's the red candle?"

The woman took out half of it from the sleeve, and said in a low voice with an embarrassed expression: "This is all I have."

Li Hu looked at the half red candle, swayed his body, and shook his lips. "This...how can this be done?"

The surrounding villagers couldn't bear to see it, and they all became anxious.It's a pity that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow now, so I can't go to the city to buy them.Someone gave Li Hu an idea, "You can go to Li Dayong to borrow one, the concubine he married not long ago, he must have one."

"Yes, he must have it, he is so rich, he will not be short of these two red candles."

That being said, everyone has no idea whether Li Dayong is willing to borrow money or not.After all, everyone knew what Li Dayong was like.Insatiable greed, barren people enrich oneself.But in this situation, besides asking Li Daying for help, there is no other way to go.

What everyone said made sense, anyway, for the sake of his mother, Li Hu still wanted to give it a try.He wiped his eyes, took out the only two cans of money at home, and went to Li Dayong's house.

Li Hu knelt outside the door of a rich family with a white wall, his head thumping on the ground, begging the guard to let him know.But no matter how much he begged, the guards remained indifferent and looked at him coldly.Seeing that the sun is setting, time is passing by little by little.He was heartbroken and tried to force his way in.It's a pity that he was single and weak, and was finally beaten out by servants holding sticks.The villagers stood aside, seeing this scene, hurried over to stop them.

"Forgive me, we just want to buy a red candle."

"Buying red candles?" The servant sneered, "Don't you see what this place is? It's the market. Get out of here quickly, or I'll kill you today."

Facing the servant's insults, Li Hu didn't dare to retaliate, his face was full of bitterness.He grabbed the calf of one of them, as if grasping the only life-saving straw, still knelt there, pleading all over his face.

"I beg you, please."

"Get out!" The servant knocked off Li Hu's arms, patted him in disgust, and returned to Li's mansion with the stick, closing the door heavily.

A loud bang shattered all of Li Hu's hopes.He seemed to lose all strength, and fell down slumped.His eyes were empty and lifeless, and tears fell unconsciously.

When the villagers carried him back to the village, Li Hu seemed to be in a daze, and only muttered the word red candle in his mouth. Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Li Hu's daughter-in-law threw herself on him, crying loudly.Li Hu seemed to be invisible, just talking to himself.

"Grandma Li, save him, save him." Granny Li looked at Li Hu with deep eyes and sighed.It seems to be regret, or respect.Heart disease still needs heart medicine, but she didn't expect that Li Hu was such a dutiful son.

Mrs. Li looked up at the sky, wondering if she should use that strange thing for him.But look at the old lady who is walking through the gate of hell, and Li Hu who is half dead.If she didn't help her, the family might really fall apart.Thinking of this, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but think of the Zhang family again.Looking at the little daughter-in-law who was crying and crying, Mrs. Li suddenly laughed.It was a miserable smile. She saw herself in her childhood from her daughter-in-law.Helpless, sad, crying to the sky, complaining and weeping, but it still doesn't help, it's really ridiculous.

Mrs. Li closed her eyes, and her eyes gradually became firmer, as if she had made up her mind.She flicked her sleeves and walked out of the yard in silence.

Going back to the ruined temple and closing the door, she came behind the statue.Stretch out your finger and swipe in the void, and a blue surface appears.That was what she discovered by accident, and she has followed her for more than ten years.In the process of wandering, no matter how hungry and poor she was, she never exchanged anything on this.

At that time, she wanted to die, but only wanted to go with her parents, husband and children.With the utmost malice for this strange thing that suddenly appeared on her.She felt that this was another punishment given to her by God to mock her insignificance and ignorance.

She didn't give up the idea of ​​suicide until she tried all the ways to hang herself and didn't die.She came to Li's Village in a frenzy, and settled down here unknowingly.But she had never used this thing that appeared on her body out of thin air, and she never expected to use it for the first time at such a time.

A line of words appeared in Mrs. Li's mind, "Everything is fate, and I can't help it at all."

For this fairy, she has opened it countless times during countless sleepless nights, and she knows how to use her like the palm of his hand.But in the end, she didn't make it to the last step. This was the first time that the line of choosing to exchange appeared in front of her so accurately and clearly.

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, unable to explain what she was feeling in her heart.Excitement, novelty, fear, and panic were intertwined in her eyes, and she took out a string of chains from her cuff.This is the only item brought out from Zhang's house, a string of red jade beads, carved out of ice, and of great value.

She stretched out her hand without hesitation, and the jade beads fell to the ground with a jingle, and the sound of gold and jade vibrated.

She picked up one, her nostalgic expression flashed, and finally she firmly chose to exchange it.As the jade beads disappeared, they were replaced by two red candles.She took these two life-saving objects and opened the wooden door of the ruined temple.All the villagers stood not far from the door. They didn't know why Mrs. Li suddenly threw up her sleeves and went back to the ruined temple.But they don't think Mrs. Li will just sit back and do nothing, abandoning people's lives.Otherwise, they wouldn't have kicked Miss Nian out without saying a word and risked being misunderstood and driven out of the village by the villagers, so everyone stood outside the ruined temple and watched from afar.

After waiting for a while, I finally saw Mrs. Li coming out.Everyone was overjoyed to see her holding two red candles in her left hand.Just as she was about to step forward and ask where they were coming from, Mrs. Li raised her hand to stop them.Only then did the big guy notice that blood was dripping from Mrs. Li's right hand along the arc of her wrist, falling on the white snow, and quickly smudged away.Like a drop of red ink falling on the white rice paper, the blooming ground is more beautiful than winter plum.

Li Pozi seemed to be unaware, and went straight to Li Hu's house.Everyone hurriedly followed, and quickly surrounded Li Hu's yard tightly.

Mrs. Li lit a red candle in front of Aunt Li's bed, and put the brazier between the candles.Then she murmured a spell that they didn't understand, and she opened her eyes again, only to see that the whites of her eyes were completely covered by black mist, and her whole body was surrounded by a thick layer of black mist, like a ghost.Everyone was so frightened that they got back on their feet again and again, terrified.

Mrs. Li picked up the straw figurine on one side, opened her mouth, and let go of her hands. The straw figurine fell into the brazier, and then the kitchen knife was also thrown into it.The flame suddenly rose high, and the head of the flame turned red and blue, jumping and jumping, very strange, like someone dancing on the hot sparks, wonderful.But what accompanied the beautiful dance was the woman's sharp cries, which came from the brazier, each higher and more tragic.

"Oh, forgive me, forgive me, I was wrong."

Li Pozi's complexion did not change, and she was still muttering incessantly.Li Hu's daughter-in-law knelt aside and listened to the woman's terrified begging for mercy. As a woman, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathy.But thinking about it, this woman almost killed her mother-in-law and husband, and her eyes were covered with hatred again.

"I was wrong. I didn't mean to harm her. It was Wang Dafu who harmed me first. Why, why should he treat me like this? Is there truth in the world? Is there..." The woman's voice gradually weakened. But the strong resentment and unwillingness in the voice were as real as they were, and everyone present couldn't help but tighten their hearts.

"Grandma Li, if you don't forgive her first, she won't have any grievances."

"Yes, that sounds pitiful."

"Yes, yes, why don't you let him go first."

Faced with everyone's prayers, Granny Li's hands gradually lowered, her eyes returned to their former appearance, and the dark energy around her disappeared without a trace.

"That being said, this is not an excuse for her to wantonly hurt people." After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Li Hu's wife, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

The author has something to say:

Let’s start with a new chapter today. My eyes are dry from watching the computer. Dry eye syndrome is very annoying.Everyone must take good care of your eyes, blink more often if you have nothing to do, and don't use eye drops indiscriminately. It is best to use artificial tears or sodium hyaluronate eye drops.You can also apply a hot towel on it for 15 minutes before going to bed. It is really comfortable. I went to the hospital to see the eye doctor and told me that dry eye syndrome is really uncomfortable!
