咚! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drumming came.
A sacrificial team wearing ghost masks and dancing a sacrificial dance came over.
Some people dressed up as Zhong Kui, some dressed up as black and white ghosts, and some dressed up as King Wu of Zhou and Duke Zhao, dancing and walking.
Zhang Min said to his junior sister with great interest: "Yingbao, let's buy a mask too."
Yingbao took out two ghost masks from the bag he was carrying, put one on himself, and handed the other to his second senior brother.
Zhang Min took it and put it on directly, and smiled at Yingbao: "I'll dance a bit too."
"Go." Ying Bao said, "I'll follow you."
“Then don’t get lost.” Zhang Min said, ran into the sacrificial team and started to dance with him.
Seeing everyone staring at the dance team, Ying Bao took out a tattered wizard robe from his bag and put it on, tied it with a cloth belt, and walked slowly behind his senior brother.
Through the mask, she looked around.
People carried the altar table, with portraits of priests hanging on it, heading towards the Golden Roof Taoist Temple.
Going up the mountain, Yingbao saw Xiao Weizhong and his party at the viewing platform, as well as Pei Shixian behind him.
Zhang Min danced all the way, went back to the mountain and found his junior sister. He chuckled and said, "How did your second senior brother dance?"
Not so.
"How could it be different? Your senior brother and I have been dancing Dawu since I was five years old. This is a dance that every gentleman must know." Zhang Min said proudly: "Those people all danced wrong, so I had to lead them all the way."
Ying Bao glared at him angrily: "You took me down the mountain just to have breakfast and then dance up the mountain?"
Zhang Min rubbed the back of his head and said, "Then I'll take you around again tomorrow."
“I’m not going.” In case he met another group of worshipers going up the mountain, and he jumped up after them, she would feel tired just looking at them.
In the middle of July, the fifteen-day ritual ceremony finally came to an end.
Ying Bao counted the days of travel on her fingers, planning to take the time to say goodbye to Mrs. Wen and Sister Wen.
Two days later, Master Zhou calculated the travel date and decided to leave on July 28th, heading for Jingzhou.
So Yingbao and her second senior brother went down the mountain again and went to Kang'an Pharmacy to say goodbye to Wen Shu.
When I arrived at the drug store, I saw several people sitting in the drug store. Mrs. Wen Xiao Zhenniang was also there, talking to a woman.
Yingbao walked into the medicine shop and called out: "Master, I'm here!"
Seeing that it was Yingbao, Xiao Zhenniang stood up quickly and said, "Yingbao, why are you back? I was about to go to Jinding Taoist Temple to find you."
The woman also turned around and looked at Yingbao with a smile: "Hey, little Yingbao has grown so big."
Ying Bao’s smile froze on her face.
This woman is actually Chen Tiantian’s biological mother, Han Yueniang.
I saw that her face was fair and she was much fatter than a few years ago, and she looked a bit graceful and rich.
Han Yueniang was still holding a little over one-year-old baby in her arms, smiling at herself.
Yingbao pretended not to recognize her and did not speak to her. He only said to Mrs. Wen, "Where is Sister Wen? I'll go find her."
Mrs. Wen: "She is in the backyard. Go in and look for her."
"Okay." Yingbao walked through the back door of the drug store and entered the backyard.
Zhang Min saluted Mrs. Wen and ran in after her.
Han Yueniang's smile froze on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and said to Mrs. Wen, "Yingbao still hates me. She doesn't even want to say hello when we meet her."
Xiao Zhenniang smiled: "Children are forgetful. How can they remember what happened when they were young? Madam Han, please don't worry too much."
Han Yueniang's eyes flashed and she said: "Actually, I have been wanting to see this child these past two days and ask her about my family's sweet things." Xiao Zhenniang was surprised: "Ms. Han wants to know your daughter's situation, why don't you write a letter to her? Question? I heard from Ying Bao that she is not familiar with other people in Yin Yang."
Han Yueniang paused and sighed: "I also wrote letters, but Tiantian didn't reply. As a mother, I can't help but worry. I heard someone said that Ying Bao had arrived here a few days ago, so I came over to ask."
She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Mrs. Xiao, to be honest, I want to ask Yingbao to sit down and let her tell me sweet things. I wonder if you can help me to persuade her?"
Xiao Zhenniang apologized and said, "I'm really sorry. Ying Bao's master is very strict and doesn't allow his disciples to move around casually. The same goes for Mrs. Han if she has anything to say to me. I'll convey it to you later."
“Oh, let’s forget it.” Han Yueniang stood up with her son in her arms and said to Xiao Zhenniang, “It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave.”
“Let’s go slowly.” Xiao Zhenniang stood up and saw her off.
After sending Han Yueniang away, Xiao Zhenniang frowned and thought for a while, then turned and went to the inner courtyard.
Finding Yingbao in her daughter's yard, Xiao Zhenniang told her about Han Yueniang's abnormality in the past few days.
"Then Han Yueniang has been coming to the shop every day these days, asking about you, but I don't know what she means?"
Xiao Zhenniang: "Today she asked you to go to her house again and wanted to ask you something, but I declined."
Han Yueniang has a grudge against Yingbao's family. Xiao Zhenniang knows this, so she will not let a child like Yingbao come into contact with the Han family.
Ying Bao: "Thank you, Master. Master Zhou and I are about to leave, and I'm here to say goodbye to you today. That Han family has a grudge against my family, and I don't want to meet her."
“When are you going to set off?” Xiao Zhenniang asked.
“Master Zhou hasn’t said anything yet, it will probably be in the next two days.”
Yingbao talked to Xiao Zhenniang and Wen Shu for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
On the way back, Zhang Min asked his junior sister: "What's going on with Han Yueniang?"
Yingbao recounted the grievances between her family and hers, saying: "Her daughter is Chen Tiantian who is studying at the county medical office. Someone told me a while ago that Chen Tiantian learned the art of hating victory from her stepfather. "
Zhang Min raised his eyebrows: "She is a medical student learning the art of aversion to victory? Who is she trying to harm?"
The so-called "weariness to win" means to win after being tired, which is to use spells, curses or prayers to achieve the purpose of suppressing people, objects or monsters.
Those warlocks with evil intentions like to use this method the most.
"She wants to harm me!" Ying Bao said directly: "She also wants to steal my luck."
Zhang Min opened his mouth in surprise: "What? Stealing luck? No wonder that woman wants to enter the Yin and Yang Department again and again. I see."
He looked up and down the Yingbao and said teasingly, "I really didn't see it. It turns out that my junior sister is a very lucky person."
"Of course." She was reborn and found a mysterious cave. What was this great blessing?
Zhang Min touched his chin and said, "Don't worry, Master has helped you exorcise the evil spirits. Those ghosts and monsters don't dare to get close..."
Before he finished speaking, several people suddenly gathered around him.
Zhang Min was stunned, and immediately protected his junior sister behind him, and asked sternly: "Who are you! What do you want to do?"
A few people didn't say anything, and all rushed towards Zhang Min.
Zhang Min immediately responded.
However, although he had learned some fighting skills, he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and he was quickly beaten to the ground.
At this time, before Ying Bao had time to call for help, she was put in a sack and one person picked her up and ran away.
When Zhang Min got up from the ground, he saw that those people had run into an alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Min quickly chased after him, but the alley was empty and there was no one there.
“Asshole!” Zhang Min’s eyes were splitting. Thinking of what his junior sister had just said, he always felt that this matter had something to do with that Han family.
He turned around and ran back to Wen's house to ask Xiao Zhenniang for help.
"Mrs. Wen! Yingbao has been kidnapped! Go and report it to the official immediately, and ask a few more people to follow me to find her. If you are late, it will be too late!"
