Volume 1 Chapter 34 The Child is Gone

  Lao Diao saw Hong Jun's impatience and smiled, no longer mentioning the lotus crown. "As for his identity, I haven't had time to think carefully, but he spoke up. I have come specifically to take that person away, the situation is urgent, please hand him over to me immediately. That person has been resisting the demon spirit, and his life is in danger, he will die after a cup of tea. If all four coffin guards die, the demon spirit will lose its restraint and harm people, at that time, everyone in the village will lose their lives. Only by letting me take him away and using superior Taoist techniques to infuse his body can his life be saved, thereby preventing the demon spirit from rebirth."

  "I'm not a fool, combining what happened that night, when the Taoist said he was going to pick someone up, I immediately thought of him coming for San'er." Lao Jiaotou said, pointing at San Shu, who nodded in agreement.

  Then, I patted the big one who had been dazed beside me, Hong Jun's father, and asked him to hurry up and find his father in the next room. The big one finally reacted in time and stumbled out to find his father.

  Soon, Lao Da's father arrived, and I said to him straightforwardly, "Brother, quickly go get Xiao San'er and bring her over, let this Taoist priest take her away."

  "Is Grandfather willing to let that Taoist take Third Uncle away?" Rui Xin asked with concern.

  "Big brother was unwilling, of course. The child he had finally gotten for himself, how could he easily let someone else take away? So, he loudly scolded me, 'You blind fool! Are you crazy? Letting someone take your nephew away.'"

  "Blind man?" Hong Jun knew that his grandfather was scolding Old Di, he glanced sideways, and although Old Di was over 70 years old, his eyes were still bright and spirited, how could he be a blind man?

  "That's a nickname of mine. Some people were dissatisfied that I didn't give them a good fortune, so they said I was blind to the obvious, and after a long time, everyone started calling me that." Old Jia chuckled. "I heard Big Brother scolding, so I had no choice but to tell him what I heard from Big Sister-in-law, but he still didn't believe it, and Old Eldest, who was hiding behind him, pulled on his clothes and told him it was true."

  He still didn't dare to believe it, I was anxious, big brother, you don't trust me, don't you even trust your own son, don't you even trust your wife? Big sister had already returned to the underworld, but she came back just for this matter to tell you, how can you be so confused?

  But the big brother still refused to believe it, he hugged his head, squatted on the ground, and muttered incessantly, "It's impossible, there are no ghosts or gods in this world, you're all cheating me."

  Rui Xin heard this and anxiously asked, "What can be done? If Grandfather doesn't let the Taoist priest take Third Uncle away, won't that harm Third Uncle's life? And the lives of everyone in the village are also at stake. If that demon spirit is really like Lin Daozhang said, losing its restraint will bring harm to people." However, she also knew that it wasn't easy for a father to suddenly decide to send his newborn child away with strangers.

  "I see that Old Zhang's father strongly disagrees, and time is slowly passing by, which makes me anxious to the point of jumping up and down, but there's nothing I can do." Old Jia sighed, "I couldn't possibly force him to give away his own newborn son to strangers. He has quadruplets, three of whom have already died, and his wife is also dead; it would be too difficult for him to give away the last one as well."

  "What's next?" Rui Xin also became anxious.

  "I was at a loss, but that doesn't mean the matter can't be resolved. Just as the time for a cup of tea was almost up, Lin Daozhang couldn't wait any longer. He said something to Big Brother and then turned around and left." Lao Jie said.

  "Did he just say one sentence and leave? If so, wouldn't the demon spirit appear, what would happen to the villagers?" Hong Jun asked in surprise, not expecting that Daoist Lin would leave so lightly.

  "I'm also wondering," Old Jia shook his head with a bitter smile, "Lin Daozhang came here in the middle of the night, he definitely wouldn't leave so easily. But what's going on? I looked at Big Brother, and Big Brother was also puzzled. Just then, a woman's shrill cry came from the west wing, 'Not good! Come quick!' I heard it and thought, 'This is bad.'"

  "That room was a spare room in my brother's house. After his wife passed away, because the third child was only two days old, to take care of the third child, the family cleaned up the room and had two sisters from the same clan live there to take care of the third child. Now suddenly hearing the cries of those two sisters, my first reaction was that the third child is dead." Old Jia said, looking at Third Uncle who seemed to be out of energy. Fortunately, Third Uncle didn't seem unhappy about it.

  "My brother and I ran to the west room in three strides, as soon as we entered, I saw two sisters-in-law sitting on the ground like fools. I quickly looked at the bed, the small quilt was still there, but the child inside was gone. Little San was gone."

  Big brother was stunned at the time, I quickly walked to a sister's side, her eyes were dull and she was obviously scared by something, kept saying that the child is gone. The child is gone. I didn't care about anything else, I slapped her in the face.

  "Ah." Hearing Lao Jia's slap on his own sister-in-law's face, Rui Xin let out a soft cry of surprise.

  Lao Dai Tou looked at her: "You may not know, when the other party suddenly becomes hysterical and stupid, the best way is to give her a hard slap in the face to wake her up. My sister-in-law's slap was not to blame them for not taking good care of the child, but to wake her up and understand what happened at the first time. If little Sanzi was really taken away by someone, maybe we can still catch up." Lao Dai Tou explained, looking at San Shu again: "Ha, after calling him Little Sanzi for so many years, it's hard to change the habit."

  Third Uncle saw Old Di's words were directed at him, and he smiled: "Uncle, I'm your junior, no matter when you can call me Little Sanzi." Or, he coughed continuously for several times.

  Hong Jun saw Third Uncle coughing, and quickly picked up the thermos flask, poured a cup of water for Third Uncle, and handed it to him. At the same time, he also poured a cup for Old Chui's head.
