Urban Youth Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 34 New Clothes
Seeing Xiao Xie's disappointed look, Lin Lin sighed in his heart, and then said with his heart: "Don't worry, as long as there is still time after taking the photo, I will take you to find your parents."

"Thank you, master!" Xiao Xie looked at Lin Lin gratefully.

"Okay, get out of class is over, I'll buy you candles later." Lin Lin looked at Xiao Xie with a smile and said in his heart.

After class, Lin Lin hurried downstairs with her schoolbag.Originally, Li Bufan, who wanted to wait for Lin Lin to go home together, saw Lin Lin running faster than a rabbit, couldn't help but shook his head, and scolded: "What are you doing running so fast, kid? You're not dating a girl."

When he arrived at the incense and candle shop, Lin Lin chose two sticks of incense and about ten pairs of candles. He accidentally saw paper money, paper clothes and houses burned for the dead, and hesitated for a while.

"Xiao Xie, do you need these things?" Lin Lin asked attentively.

Xiao Xie hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Master, I want a new set of clothes."

It was only at this time that Lin Lin noticed that Xiao Xie was wearing a long white dress, but it was dirty, old, and somewhat tattered.

"Boss, how much do these cost?" Lin Lin asked after taking a pack of paper-cut clothes.

"Five yuan a bag." The boss said, "This spirit house is also five yuan a bag."

Lin Lin didn't have much pocket money. After buying two handfuls of good incense and a dozen pairs of candles, he had already spent 50 yuan, and now he only had 20 yuan left.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Lin still took two packs of brightly colored paper-cut clothes and said, "This is what I need. By the way, boss, how much is this paper house?"

"The spirit house in this villa costs ten yuan each." The boss looked at the position of Lin Lin's fingers and said immediately.

so expensive?Lin Lin originally wanted to buy a cardboard house for Xiao Xie, but he couldn't help being speechless when he heard that it was so expensive.Xiao Xie next to him said, "Master, I don't need this house. I'm by your side every day, and I don't know how to use it if I burn this thing for me."

"Boss, I just need these two packs of paper clothes." Lin Lin handed over the money as he spoke.

The boss took the money, put the things into bags, saw Lin Lin's pained face, and said with a smile: "Young man, seeing you like this, I will give you another dozen paper money and let you burn it for your ancestors." !” As he spoke, he took a dozen paper money from the stall, stuffed it into a bag, and handed it to Lin Lin.Lin Lin bought so many things in one go, the boss was naturally very happy, and he would send more things when he was happy.

Lin Lin said thank you, and went back with these things.

Back home, Lin Lin opened the door and was about to speak to Xiao Xie when he heard his mother's voice.

"Son, are you hungry! Come in, come in..." The mother said to Lin Lin cheerfully, and she welcomed her son into the house.

"Son, what's in your black bag?" Seeing her son holding two bulging black bags, the mother couldn't help asking.

If I let my mother know that I am with a female ghost, my mother will definitely faint from fright.These things must never be known to my mother.

"Mom, these are some colored papers, I use them to make things." Lin Lin said quickly, "Mom, don't worry about it." He said, and hurried back to the room, stuffed the things under the bed , Put your schoolbag away before you come out.

"Mom, why are you free today?" Lin Lin came out and came to the table. When he saw the hot food on the table, he looked at his mother strangely and asked.

You must know that although Mom and Dad are both from the unit, since ten years ago, because of the poor efficiency of the unit, many employees have been laid off. The two of them opened a stall in the market to buy some pickles and the like. s things.The days are passable.

Because the market is far away from home, under normal circumstances, they will not go home at noon.

"Aren't you preparing for the college entrance examination? I have discussed it with your father. I will come back every day at noon and make lunch for you. This way, you will have enough time to take a nap." Mom looked at Lin with a smile. Lin said.

"Mom, you don't need to come back. I'm already old enough to take care of myself. Besides, when I go to college, don't I have to take care of myself?" Lin Lin couldn't help but said with a warm feeling in his heart. .

And Xiao Xie, who was inseparable from Lin Lin's side, her eyes turned scarlet when she heard Lin Lin's mother's words, and she said tearfully, "Master, your mother is so kind, just like my mother... "

At this moment, she really wants to go home, and really wants to go home to visit her parents.

"Hehe, I know my son has grown up. However, you are in the third year of high school, and you are nervous about reviewing. These trivial things are not in the way. It's okay for my mother to run twice more. Son, eat quickly, take a rest early after eating, and have classes in the afternoon !” Mom said.

Lin Lin nodded, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate.

After he ate two bowls of rice, he said, "Mom, I'm full." He was about to pack up the dishes and wash them, but his mother stopped him, and she said, "Put the dishes down, and I'll take care of the dishes." Just wash it, go to bed and rest!"

Lin Lin nodded, and then said: "Okay. Mom, you should sleep too!"

After Lin Lin returned to the room and closed the door, because of the poor sound insulation in the room, Lin Lin could only talk to Xiao Xie attentively: "Xiao Xie, it seems that my mother is at home, so it is difficult for me to burn incense for you gone."

Xiao Xie shook his head and said, "It's okay. Master, you don't have to worry. Xiao Xie knows."

"Well, I'm going to bed first, you help me see, when my mother will leave, I'll get up again to burn incense and clothes for you." Lin Lin said to Xiao Xie.

Lin Lin went to bed, lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

"Master, master..." After an unknown amount of time, Lin Lin felt someone shaking his body and calling him softly.

Lin Lin opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Xie and said, "En? Is my mother gone?"

Xiao Xie nodded and said, "Let's go."

Lin Lin looked at the bedside clock, it was already 01:30 in the afternoon.He got up, found the lighter, and then wanted to burn incense, but found that there was no suitable incense burner. Looking around, he saw the empty flowerpot on the windowsill, so he took the flowerpot down, lit the incense, He inserted it into the flower pot, and then took an empty biscuit box, which was made of iron, and set fire to the paper-cut clothes and the building of the villa in the biscuit box, saying: "I will burn it together for you, Xiao Xie, come and get these things!"

As a Yin spirit, Xiao Xie smelled incense for the first time in 13 years.She tried to inhale the scent of the incense candle with her nose, and suddenly found that she wanted the smell of the incense candle very much, and she found that after inhaling the incense, her whole body became more stable, and she seemed to have some excitement and An indescribable joy.

After the clothes were burned, Lin Lin put the paper money into the fire and burned it to Xiao Xie.

Just when Lin Lin was about to burn everything up, he suddenly heard the sound of a key coming from the door of his house, and he immediately closed the door guiltily.

"Lin Lin, what are you burning?" Lin Lin's mother asked about the smell of burning paper when she entered the house, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, it's nothing, burn some unnecessary things." Lin Lin said quickly.

Although Lin Lin's mother thought it was strange for her son to burn things at home, she didn't ask any more questions. She thought to herself: "Could it be that girl wrote a love letter to her son, and the son didn't like that girl, so he burned the love letter?" ?”

You must know that my son is 17 years old this year, and it is not uncommon for girls to like him.

"Lin Lin, be careful, don't burn other things." As a mother, I couldn't help reminding.

Lin Lin quickly said: "I see. Mom, didn't you go to the market? Why are you back?"

"Oh, I found some things at home, so I came back to get them!" Lin Lin's mother said, "It's almost two o'clock, you have to pay attention to the time! Remember to go to class later."

"I see." Lin Lin said.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lin Lin knew that it was his mother who had left, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, then patted his chest and said, "Xiao Xie, when I cook something for you next time, I can see it in the night, in the dead of night Only when I can do it, if my mother finds out, she will definitely... It's okay, it's okay..."

Xiao Xie looked at Lin Lin apologetically and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."

"It's okay, hurry up and eat the joss sticks. After eating, change your clothes. I'll burn a bag of clothes and paper money for you. You should have enough!" Lin Lin said, shaking his hand.

Xiao Xie looked at Lin Lin gratefully and said, "Master, for me, you have spent so much money, is it your pocket money for a week?"

"It's nothing." Lin Lin shook his hand and said.As he said that, he opened the door and went out, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and was ready to go to school.

After Lin Lin finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he inadvertently raised his head and saw a beautiful figure, and he couldn't help being stunned.Because the owner of this shadow is really too beautiful.

Xiao Xie put on new clothes, and his whole person seemed to have changed.Xiao Xie was actually wearing an exaggeratedly gorgeous lady's attire. It was a lady's attire from the Tang Dynasty. It was very beautiful. Her hair was also combed into a lady's bun. She was as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting.

Lin Lin was completely stunned, it took him a long time to recover, rubbed his eyes and said: "Xiao Xie, your clothes are really beautiful, the clothes you are wearing are really beautiful... I I almost didn't recognize it was you, I thought it was that fairy who descended to earth!"

Xiao Xie blushed and said with a little embarrassment: "Master, the clothes you burned for me are all like this. I... I... I'm not used to it."

Lin Lin nodded and said repeatedly: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful... Strange, how could this dress be an ancient costume? But, this ancient costume really suits you! Xiao Xie, you are so beautiful."
