Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Ma Fuqing was worried, not knowing what Qinglan wanted to say to him.

His wife has passed away for several years, but to be honest, he still has evil intentions towards Qinglan.

So, he felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, his eyes wandering around, and he accidentally discovered that the area in the yard where flowers and plants were originally planted was covered with a thick layer of more than one meter long? ! Hmm? ! Incense ash? !

Did he read that correctly? !

【呱——】

The ash jar in the Gu Temple is still there, but it's been emptied. Are you blind? Don't you see it?!

【呱——】

It’s so uncomfortable, I’ll scold anyone I catch!

When Grandma heard the Gu King croaking, she remembered that she held the Gu King in her palm in the middle of the night, and a cry like an explosion exploded in her mind.

If she hadn't retained some sense, she would have thrown the Gu King out by mistake.

The sound of the baby croaking, cursing and retching was clearly the Gu King!

She reached out and took the Gu King out of the jar, and sure enough—

[Gua——The way this old man looks at his master is not right. Tsk tsk, why doesn’t the master take me to take a medicinal bath? I’m so itchy, gua gua…]

Grandma: ...Really? She's even more noisy than those wives at the village entrance.

As expected, she is the Gu King she created!!!

I can actually communicate with her!!!

【呱——】

Woman, you guessed wrong. How can it be considered mutual understanding if you read my mind unilaterally?┭┮﹏┭┮

【Quaa? ! 】

I reacted belatedly, was stunned, and hiccuped.

While my mind was being read, a scene flashed through my mind——

Grandma was standing at the door of a shop called Tuojiang Fengqing, looking around nervously and calling Doubao's name. There were crowds of people around and there was no sign of Doubao.

[Quack?]

Tsk, I haven’t used this ability for a long time, I’m already rusty about it.

I jumped up and looked outside the yard. Little Doubao was held on the neck by Ma Xiaoliang, smiling like a fool.

Hmm, it seems to be a prophecy.

Seeing that Qinglan didn't answer, Ma Fuqing ran over to take a look. He used his shoes to dig some soil away and found that the soil underneath looked like it had been burned by a raging fire; even the grass roots were burnt black.

This... doesn't look like it's on fire?!

[Don't think about it. An evil ghost came to visit last night. ]

[Quack?]

Master, you really don't treat him as an outsider, why do you say everything? !

Grandma's ears turned red again, obviously she heard it.

[Didn't the elder say that once the Gu King is refined, those creatures won't dare to approach you? ]

[It's useless. That thing is not from here. It doesn't know the rules and has no experience. The Gu King is very powerful and knows how to protect me! ]

【呱——】

Ouch! I puffed out my flat little chest, wanting to show it off with my nose pointed up to the sky.

【Not local?! 】

Ma Fuqing still lacks experience, and his understanding of this sentence is obviously not enough.

[Well, a foreign ghost, a war fanatic, he has committed a lot of murderous sins. If it weren't for the Gu King, I might have suffered a loss.]

Grandma gently stroked the Gu King's back with her hand and heard the little guy purring comfortably.

[Gua——It feels so good, left side, left side, and also on the butt, I want to take a medicinal bath, it’s too itchy, it’s itching to death! ]

[By the way, I came to you to ask you to help me order two ceramic jars, one large and one small. I need to give the Gu King a medicinal bath. As you know, its bath water is also highly poisonous and cannot be poured out casually. I can save the water in the two jars to refine poison powder. Maybe I can refine a smaller one when I have the chance in the future.]

【呱——】

I curled my lips and said, it's impossible, there is only one king!

A large ceramic jar as tall as a person, with a slightly smaller one inside, was delivered by a motorcycle two hours later.

Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any traffic police on the road, otherwise I would not be able to explain why there would be a person with long legs sitting on the back of a motorcycle under the two cylinders.

Ma Xiaoliang was carrying two vats on his shoulders like a nesting doll, his head buzzing.

When he left, grandma gave him a handful of roasted peanuts, which were fragrant and crispy.

Ma Fuqing built a fire neatly, placed the ceramic jar steadily on the fire, and poured four or five buckets of water into it before stopping until it was almost 9% full.

Grandma brought a basket of medicinal herbs and put them into the jar one by one.

Xiao Doubao watched without blinking, but she was too young to remember so many medicinal herbs.

[You can't chew too much if you bite off more than you can chew. Come back and let grandma teach you one by one. You just need to memorize it. Medicine and witchcraft are inseparable. It's a pity that you can't recognize a few words now...]

The little bean bun stuck out his tongue and watched obediently what grandma would do next.

The ceremony is over, light the fire and put the food in the pot.

Oh, no, it's going into the water.

【呱——】

[Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…]

Who would believe it? The first time I went into the water, I almost drowned.

Fortunately, my owner was quick and picked me up in time.

【呱——】

Cover your face, it's so embarrassing.

Grandma didn't expect that the Gu King couldn't swim.

[Grandma, some people are landlubbers, but our Gu King can also be a landlubber. It’s okay, I don’t mind.]

【呱——】

Please forgive me, don't hit me anymore...

The final solution to taking a bath was thought of by Xiaodoubao——

She contributed a little yellow duck that she kept in the tub to play with while she took a bath.

The size is just right, enough for the Gu King to use his front paws to take a bath.

【呱——】

I was going to refuse at first, but Yaya is so cute.

Well, I'll just have to do it reluctantly...just wash it this way.

Grandma sees everything but doesn't say anything. Her fingers are still on the little guy's belly. Don't think she can't hear the hahahahahahahah laughter that is suppressed in its stomach.

Grandma pulled her hand out and replaced it with the little yellow duck.

A few more sticks of firewood were added, the fire crackled, the water temperature gradually rose, and wisps of hot air were carried away by the breeze.

The air is filled with the rich aroma of medicine.

Little Doubao likes to smell things and keeps sniffing with his little nose.

If you listen carefully, you can smell the sweet fragrance of the osmanthus tree on the grave.

Mmm, it smells like mom.

This medicinal bath was performed three times, from noon to sunset.

The Gu King had already fallen asleep, and he pushed the little yellow duck away, so Grandma held it up with her hands.

She leaned over to take a look and saw that the blisters on the little guy's butt had deflated, indicating that the medicine was effective.

Xiao Doubao moved a small stool and sat next to him, holding his chin with one hand, nodding his head, and almost falling asleep.

Grandma looked at the sun hanging on the treetops and sighed slightly.

I was so used to the lunar calendar that I almost forgot that tomorrow is the end of the month. My son is already on his way back.

If nothing goes wrong, she will arrive at noon tomorrow. As expected, the new daughter-in-law has also come.

She dared to come even though she knew the attitude of her tribe members. I don’t know if she was really stupid or just making a demonstration.
