Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Although Mr. Qian was very generous in providing vegetarian food, Little Pei was still reluctant to eat in the middle of the night.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but she is afraid of the dark.

I dare not get up at night without someone to accompany me, and I often wet the bed because of this.

Jinghui was afraid that she was too young and would ask something inappropriate, so she didn't answer her. She just whispered, "If you're tired, go back to sleep. It's okay. Just be quiet when you get there."

"it is good."

Little Pei agreed, not quite understanding what he was saying, and lowered his head to look for Cheng Tianbao, but he was not there.

Little Pei wanted to call him, but he remembered that his master said he could not mention him in front of others, nor could he talk to him in front of others, so he did not open his mouth and lay down in a depressed mood.

She wondered if he was too lazy to move and didn't come with her, or if he was carrying her to go somewhere else to play.

The advantage of being a ghost is probably that you can run around all over the mountains and the masters won't care.

Little Pei couldn't even leave the nunnery by himself, but Cheng Tianbao had already run all over the nearby mountains and knew where there were snakes and tigers.

After Pei Xiaohai told his master and the others what he said, he became even more unable to leave the house.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said anything.

The child was thinking about all sorts of things.

The group walked hurriedly, quickly and without saying a word.

The unusual atmosphere not only did not make Pei Xiaohai feel sleepy, but made him more energetic.

I am both curious and terrified about what is going to happen.

Peijia Town is particularly restless tonight. From afar, you can see that many houses have lights on.

Not all the people in this town have the surname Pei, but if you look closely, most of them are related. So if something happens to one family, many other families will suffer as a result.

Especially for families with good relationships, more people will come to help, such as the Qian family in Tongfang Street.

The largest wine shop in Peijia Town was opened by the Qian family. It originally had only one floor, but later two floors were added. It is one of the few tall buildings in the town.

You can drink, eat and stay.

It has been passed down for three or four generations. They have always been honest in doing business and never cheat anyone, and they have a good reputation in the nearby villages and towns.

When it comes to Mr. Qian, we must also add the element of being kind and charitable.

If neighbors, relatives, and friends have difficulties, they can always ask him for help. He will definitely help with anything he can.

Mrs. Qian is also kind.

As the only son in the family, Qian Daniu is a simple and honest person.

If something happens to a family like this, those who have benefited from them will inevitably feel a little upset if they don't go and take a look.

But this is not the reason why the nuns came at night. It is really dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night. If the Qian family had not specially sent someone to invite them, even if they came, they would have to come during the day.

But Qian Daniu is afraid that he won’t be able to wait until daytime.

The people outside made way.

Jinghui took the little Pei child in through the back door, and Jingneng and Jingchi followed behind.

The courtyard was also crowded with people, mostly doctors, herbalists, as well as famous Taoist priests, fortune tellers and shamans.

Pei Xiaohai saw the familiar Ma Yaopo in the crowd. She was talking to the doctor beside her with a bitter face.

Everyone looked unhappy, and some were sobbing and sighing.

What happened?

Did someone die?

Little Pei was confused and followed Jinghui and the others into a room.

The not-so-good-looking groom I met a few months ago now looked even uglier.

He was lying on the bed, his cheeks sunken, as if he were dead, his face was pale, with big dark circles under his eyes, and his bloodshot eyes were open, staring at the bed curtains without blinking, but it seemed as if he was not looking at anything, because there was no spirit in them.

Only the rise and fall of the chest can prove that this person is still alive and not dead.

Pei Da Nu sat on the edge of the bed, looking dazed. Her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, her hair was messy, and there were even a few white hairs on her temples. She was less than twenty years old, but now she looked like an old woman, which made people feel sad.

Benefactor Qian, leaning on a cane and hunched over, said, "It's been half a month now. I've tried everything I could think of. He went to the mountains to pick some fresh peaches, but when he found them, he went crazy. When he got home, he refused to eat or drink, like an idiot. I'm afraid he's lost his soul and is no longer any good..."

"Three nuns, please help chant some sutras for now, just as a prayer to calm the mind and let the child pass away peacefully."

"Amitabha……"

Perhaps because of his old age, Mr. Qian spoke incoherently and vaguely, and little Pei could hardly understand him, so he lost interest.

She hesitantly moved closer to Pei Da Nv, tugged at her sleeve, and called out, "Big Sister."

Pei Da's eyes rolled in their sockets and her gaze fell on Pei Xiao.

She probably wanted to smile, so she twitched the corners of her mouth and said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "You're here."

The strange expression was frightening, so she raised her hand and touched Pei's bald head.

Clammy and cold.

She seemed unaware that she was very similar to the dead, and told her as usual:

"Go play, big sister has something to do and can't accompany you.

Xiaohong, you take her there."

Pei's eldest daughter waved to a little maid who was about eleven or twelve years old and asked her to take Pei's child out.

Little Pei subconsciously looked at his master.

Jinghui was also looking at this side and nodded to her, and Pei Xiaohai took Xiaohong's hand and went out.

Soon, the sound of chanting could be heard from the room.

This is probably useless. Chanting scriptures and praying can only bring peace of mind to those who are still healthy. Sick people can only get better by taking medicine, but the doctors and pharmacists in this courtyard can no longer prescribe any medicine.

The maids and servants of the Qian family silently hung up white cloth and prepared for the funeral.

There was also a coffin in the main room.

Little Pei had followed Jinghui and the others to chant sutras, eat at banquets, and see coffins, but he had never seen a dead person, let alone a dying person.

What's more, the person who is about to die is someone who has some relationship with her.

This feels weird.

A few months ago, Pei Xiaohai and a group of people were trying to steal his wedding money, and now they are watching his funeral.

"Just play here. If you feel tired, go to bed and sleep. I'll be here with you."

Xiaohong also looked a little sad, but she still found a room for Pei Xiaohai to stay in and handed her a brand new cloth tiger.

A bit ugly.

"Is this yours?"

"I did it," Xiaohong said, "The young lady is pregnant, and I did it for the young master."

"Can I play then?"

"Play with it. I'll give it to you. I'll just make another one." Xiaohong fiddled with the scraps of cloth in the sewing basket nervously.

Pei Xiaohai didn't like it very much, it was too ugly, but she didn't say anything and turned to ask something else:

"Is the young lady the eldest sister?"

"Ah."

"Big sister has a child?"

"Correct."

"Are you quiet?"

"good."

"Oh..." Little Pei tried to be quiet, but she was still a little curious, "When will Big Sister's baby be born?"

"When...when will the young master no longer be able to see me?" Xiaohong sobbed and she also cried.

Ok.

This time Pei Xiaohai was completely quiet.

She wanted to go back to the mountains.

The novelty of going down the mountain has completely disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Little Pei fell asleep in a daze.

She was sleeping soundly when she heard someone calling her:

"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, or you'll really die if you sleep any longer!"

It’s Cheng Tianbao!
