Chapter 262: Once Familiar, Twice Familiar
These two days have been busy one after another. It can be considered that business is good, so just think of it as making money to celebrate the New Year.
Fortunately, this day was the day for the newlyweds to return home. Ning An wanted to take her husband back to her parents' home, but Gu Chao and the others could only continue to stay at home and have fun for themselves.
So Gu Chao agreed to Lin Hao and go to her village to have a look.
Ruan Laosan and the others also wanted to follow them to watch the excitement, but the owner of the incident was already following them. What if they didn't want to?
So Gu Chao didn't say anything and only motioned for them to go talk to Lin Hao themselves.
Ruan Laosan and the others were all discerning people. As soon as Gu Chao winked, they understood and immediately turned around and surrendered to Lin Hao.
"Ms. Lin is so polite. I wonder if it could be convenient for Miss Lin?"
When I think about it, this matter has already become known to everyone, including these few people.
Besides, even if they weren't allowed, how could they still not know with Gu Daochang here?
So Lin Hao agreed, "If the ladies and ladies are not afraid of the long journey, let's go together.
The snow scenery on the mountain is pretty good, you can go and see it. "
As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, the nature of these people became even higher.
Who said there is nothing good to see and do in the countryside? This place is much more novel than in Beijing.
That morning, people in Gujia Village saw a large number of carriages and horses coming out of Gujia.
Someone asked, "Gu Chao, where are you going? Hunting again?"
"There's nothing fun at home, so I took them up the mountain to see the scenery."
"It's a good idea to go out for a walk and get some fresh air."
Say goodbye to everyone and drive out of the village.
Gu Chao didn't say that he was going out for something, but he still covered it up for the Lin family.
Although the starving ghost possessed Miao Yu's body in the Lin family's village, this does not mean that the starving ghost possessed the Lin family's village.
Gu Chao knew that the starving ghost had been involved in bloody karma before Miao Yu, and there had been no trouble in the Lin family village before, so it could be seen that the starving ghost was not in the Lin family village at the beginning.
When Lin Hao heard Gu Chao's words, he also felt that Daoist Gu was considerate. He felt that Daoist Gu was not only capable, but also kind-hearted. He even thought of such details for himself.
Before coming back, Lin Hao sent someone back to tell his family. After hearing the news, Mrs. Lin's wife couldn't care about the matter at hand, and immediately had someone hitch a carriage to Zhuangzi.
She had also heard about the Miao family's affairs, but she didn't expect that much. She never thought that something happened in her village. This couldn't be careless.
Moreover, her daughter went to invite Daozhang Gu again, so she had to go.
What kind of status does Daochang Gu have? How can a child like his own daughter do this? Isn't this a slight to the distinguished guest?
Therefore, when Gu Chao and the others arrived at Zhuangzi, Mrs. Lin had already arrived.
Mrs. Lin personally braved the heavy snow to greet them at the door, which was considered a great honor.
After everyone met and exchanged pleasantries, they got down to business.
"Excuse me, Taoist Master Gu, please take a look, is there anything wrong with Mr. Lin's village? You just happened to be here, so I'd like to thank you for taking a closer look."
To be honest, after something like this happened in Zhuangzi, Mrs. Lin really didn't dare to use it anymore.
But, she knew in her heart that everyone knew it, and it would be difficult for her to take action.
It's better to ask Director Gu to take a look. If it's okay, that's fine. If there's anything else, then take care of it while Director Gu is around, and you'll feel at ease.
From the moment he walked in, Gu Chao was already observing Zhuangzi.
She was entrusted by others, and she had to take money from others. These were naturally within her scope, and she was used to it.
Now that Mrs. Lin said this again, she obviously wanted her to do something, and Gu Chao felt clear.
"Let's go in and take a look first."
Not much to say, at least Gu Chao would not jump to conclusions without seeing clearly.
"Okay, okay, Chief Gu, please come this way first." Mrs. Lin led the way to the house where Miao Yu lived first.
They walked in front, Ruan Laosan and the others followed. Mrs. Lin was also very polite to these people.
Knowing that they were all from Beijing and friends of Gu Chao, how could they be so rude.
She is a business person by nature, and it does no harm to her to make friends.
If you can get them, you can find a place to visit them when you go to the capital.
This relationship is like this. The more we walk around, the closer we will get.
Once raw, twice cooked.
Ruan Laosan and the others are just here for the fun. As for Mrs. Lin's attitude, if it's good, they'll take it. If it's not, they won't take it to heart.
After all, it was the first time for everyone to meet each other and they were not familiar with each other.
Besides, even if Mrs. Lin really didn't want to see them, it was only human nature. After all, they just came to other people's homes to watch the fun.
Ha, ha, it’s really a bit unauthentic.
They also didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would come here in person. They thought that after saying hello to Lin Hao, she nodded again, so it was probably nothing.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao's elders are here, and this is different.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lin was also a reasonable person. After knowing their purpose, she did not shame them or drive them out.
After all, Lin Hao knew better, so after arriving at the room where Miao Yu lived, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Hao to talk about the situation of that day and the next day.
.
"We went up the mountain that afternoon. After playing on the mountain, we came to Zhuangzi before it got dark.
Because I was a little tired from hiking and walking in the afternoon, I took a rest early after eating.
The four of us lived separately, in this courtyard, in side-by-side rooms. I was on the right side of Miao Yu.
Lan Yu is on the left side of Miao Yu, and Fu Jing is next to Lan Yu. "
The two people she was talking about were the classmates who went up the mountain with them that day.
The two of them also nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"Miao Yu said she got up to go to the bathroom, but we were all so sleepy that we didn't hear any movement at all, and it was almost dawn."
Gu Chao had heard them say this at home, but now they said it more clearly.
Gu Chao did not interrupt them and spoke more clearly, the better.
"Now take me to see that road and the tree Miao Yu mentioned."
I looked around the house, but there were no clues.
So everyone followed Lin Hao and the others out of the house and went to the Lin family's hut.
Of course, none of them went to the toilet.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Hao raised his finger and pointed at the tree opposite, "That's the one. According to Miao Yu, she first saw a twisted shadow under the tree. She thought it was a person and called them two.
Without waiting for a response, I thought I had seen it wrong and it should be the shadow of a tree.
However, after she took two steps, the shadow came towards her.
She still couldn't see the appearance clearly, only a rough outline. Well, she said it was just like the starving ghost yesterday.
However, she couldn't remember what happened after that.
When she woke up, she found herself on the bed in the house, conscious, but unable to control her body, not even speaking. "
Everyone's eyes fell on the tree, and then all turned back to Gu Chao.
This is the place, if there is a problem, it should be here.
Everyone thought of this in unison, and then felt a chill down their spines.
No matter what, even a starving ghost is a ghost.
Although it is no longer here, this does not eliminate the fact that it once possessed people here.
They really felt a little pity for the Lin family. If such a good person got into trouble with such an unclean thing, I wonder if there would be any psychological shadow in the future?
well! No matter who it was, no one would feel better.
Seeing Gu Chao shaking his head, everyone had no idea what she meant.
The Lin family members became even more uneasy, "Daozhang Gu, did you see something?"
"On your village there is only the breath left by the starving ghost, and there is nothing related to it. This shows that it did come to your village later.
As for why it came, it's not clear. Maybe it was just a coincidence. "
Yes, the starving ghost is no longer here, so even if you want to ask, there is nothing you can do.
"But Mrs. Lin, don't worry. Everyone else in Zhuangzi has no problem, and you, Zhuangzi, have no problem either. Just rest assured."
In this way, the Lin family put their hearts in their hearts. However, they really couldn't rest assured about this.
"Taoist Master Gu, why don't I bother you to do the rituals again, so that I can feel at ease."
Mrs. Lin bowed to Gu Chaochang and bowed deeply.
Others also echoed, "Mrs. Lin is right. Although there is no problem, it is better to do a ritual to feel more at ease. Just treat it as a way to get rid of bad luck."
Gu Chaowei understood their thoughts. Didn't Bai Yuanwai think the same way?
Since the person in charge has such a request and she doesn't refuse, then let's do it.
This kind of thing is familiar once and twice, and it is easy to do.
However, it's almost noon now, and we still need to eat this meal.
"It's getting late, don't be in a hurry to do the ritual, let's have lunch first.
Everything is ready. Please come over here. "
Ah, I came to see the fun, but ended up having a meal with others.
Haha, no matter how thick-skinned Ruan Laosan and the others are, they are still a little embarrassed.
After all, people like me were not familiar with them, and they just wanted Gu Chao to come.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lin's enthusiasm quickly made their embarrassment disappear.
Mrs. Lin wanted to make friends with them, so she was naturally very enthusiastic.
She also didn't expect that something like this happened in Zhuangzi, but it ended up attracting so many people that she couldn't reach even with a ladder.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?
Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me.
While eating, Mrs. Lin ordered the steward of Zhuangzi to prepare things.
Gu Chao knew about it and didn't stop him. It was just for peace of mind. They were ready when they wanted to.
Whatever comes to make you feel more at ease is the way to go.
Anyway, the rituals she performed were different from those of Taoist priests.
These are not the key points, as long as the final goal is achieved.
Because we went down the mountain to the city and then bought some things and came back, the distance was constant and it took some time.
Therefore, they were not in a hurry and just chatted while drinking.
Most of the time, Mrs. Lin is the one who mediates the atmosphere. After all, she is the host.
Of course,
Ruan Laosan and the others are not ungrateful. It is absolutely true that they are soft-mouthed.
Mrs. Lin entertained them with delicious food and drinks, and was so warm and courteous.
Even if she knew her purpose, it didn't matter. In front of others, she had to give them face no matter what.
Therefore, this meal lasted for more than an hour before it was over.
After eating and drinking tea, the boy who was shopping finally came back.
The main event is here, which makes Ruan Laosan and the others who came here to watch the excitement full of excitement.
They didn't see it in person yesterday, so they just listened to Gu Chao's talk. How could this satisfy them?
Now that I have watched Gu Chao show off his skills with my own eyes, I can't wait to move to a small bench and bring some snacks to watch.
Fortunately, they were forced to do so because they were in someone else's home.
Otherwise, Gu Chao might be in trouble. Is he treating her like a monkey?
With yesterday's experience, Gu Chao started to move calmly.
Likewise, let's light the yellow paper and walk around the place in Zhuangzi, just to let the ashes fall everywhere.
However, the Lin family's restaurant is bigger than Bai Yuanwai's restaurant in town, so the phone calls take more time.
Then, draw the charm.
Done in one go, over.
Everyone saw with their own eyes the legendary talisman drawn out of thin air, and the golden light filled the entire Zhuangzi.
They don't care how other Taoist priests perform rituals, but there is definitely nothing to say about the ritual performed by Taoist Master Gu.
Mrs. Lin's thoughts were different at this time. This was Taoist priest Gu who performed the ritual himself. Look at the golden light just now.
Doesn't this mean that the light of blessing has enveloped the entire village of her family? No matter what evil spirits or bad luck there are, they are all gone. Besides, there is still blessing, so what does she have to fear?
As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, good!
"Thank you, Director Gu, for your hard work."
"Mrs. Lin's guest, your lady invited me here, so naturally I will do things according to your requirements."
Gu Chao waved his hand and said with a smile, what she said was true. She was just using people's money to eliminate disasters. There was no need to be so polite when the money and goods were settled.
"Although this is the case, the ones who deserve to be thanked should still be thanked, hahaha.
Mr. Gu, you see it's getting late now, and the road down the mountain is not easy to walk. Otherwise, you all should stay on Zhuangzi to rest tonight.
Let's continue drinking in the evening and wait until tomorrow morning. We can still watch the sunrise and the snowy scenery on the mountains at dawn.
Although it is a rural place, the snow scene on this mountain is really good, and there is also a red plum forest on the mountain, which is in full bloom at this time.
It was because of this that Lin set up Zhuangzi here.
After all this time, it would be a pity not to see the snow scene on the mountain. "
Originally they had this reason for coming, but they were busy for most of the day, so they didn't have time to see it.
Now when I hear Mrs. Lin say this, I am really moved.
They also saw it on the way here, and the scenery was really good.
So they all looked at Gu Chao and listened to her arrangements.
Seeing that everyone wanted to stay, Gu Chao couldn't be disappointed, but someone had to go back and say something to avoid worries at home.
