Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

After making several boxes of mooncakes, and not in a hurry to leave, He Weiran asked Li Kuer to bring out the incense candles, lit them up, and offered the mooncakes.Li Ku'er slapped his forehead, secretly thinking that he almost forgot to burn paper for his parents, and hurried back to the house to get the paper ingots he had folded earlier.

"Father, mother, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat mooncakes with Moon Bodhisattva. This year's mooncakes were made by Sister He and I. I can't eat them anywhere else. Although I haven't tasted them yet, Sister He made them. That's right. Also, don't be reluctant to spend money below, Ku'er will burn it for you every year and festival. If it's not enough to spend, let's talk about it. Ku'er now has a lot of savings, and Sister He takes care of it. There's always money to buy some silver foil @￥#&#&#..."

He Weiran stood beside her, looked at her with a smile, looked at the moon in the sky, and hurriedly interrupted her: "It's already this day, don't go any further, Ah Kui and the River God should wait. What's the matter?" Say it, it’s not too late to save it for a while.”

"Let's talk later? Can paper be burned over there?" Li Kuer felt puzzled.

"You'll know when the time comes, let's go, go into the house and lie down, we have to go."

Li Ku'er nodded ignorantly, and lay on the bed straight. Seeing He Weiran took out the fan, she hurriedly asked again: "Sister He, I closed my eyes, where is it when I wake up in a while? Or the pavilion of the palace?" inside?"

"Yeah." He Weiran nodded, and explained: "I set up a formation there, and that is the most suitable place in the whole Qingshui Town. Alright, let's go." She said with a shake Fan, Li Kuer fell asleep in a daze.

As if it took only a split second, when Li Kuer regained his senses, he was already in the Yingyue Pavilion in the middle of the palace lake.She leaned out to look at the moon in the sky, it seemed bigger and rounder than what she saw in the human world, the silver light sprinkled all over the lake, the lake was quiet without ripples, just like a silver mirror, everything could be clearly reflected, just like the lakeside The flower trees are like this small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and like Li Kuer in this small pavilion.

Li Kuer sat down and waited for He Weiran to pick her up.Different from the silence of the previous few times, this time, it seems that you can vaguely hear the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, but you can't hear what is going on. You just feel that there are many people, not far from here.

He Weiran finally came, carrying a big basket in his hand, the basket was covered with floral cloth, I don't know what it contained.Li Ku'er went to meet her, hugged her waist and said, "I'll have to wait."

She lifted a corner of the fabric, and inside were all kinds of ingredients, chicken, pigs, beef, sheep, fish, shrimp, crab shells, most of which were skewered on bamboo sticks, and at a glance, there were hundreds of them.

"Ah Kui said she wanted to eat roasted food. I thought about it, but it was lively, so I prepared some in the back kitchen. I just went to get this. Alright, let's go. Tonight, the town is very lively." The two of them didn't fly against the wind, they only stepped on the ground step by step, but this speed was far from comparable to usual, and they didn't feel how fast their legs were, and they opened too much, and the scenery around them passed by in a blink of an eye.

Opening the back door of the palace, suddenly, the bustling atmosphere of Qingqiu Lane infected the whole body.There is a long dragon banquet in the alley, and the banquets are not considered peerless delicacies, but each family has its own taste. Many people and non-humans, known and unknown, come from the house. Take out a plate of vegetables and food, you come and I go, toasting and staggering.

Li Kuer suddenly came to his senses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, pulled He Weiran's sleeves and said tremblingly: "Sister He, how did I see...see..."

"See what?"

"That's Second Aunt Wang's mother-in-law. She died two years ago. Why did she come here? And the child at the table next to them died of illness five years ago. She was the same age as me, why is she still in her early teens? appearance?"

He Weiran took her hand and held it in the palm of his hand: "Don't be afraid, they are all human souls who came back to meet the concerns of living relatives. Although they can't see each other, but praying through incense candles, human souls and ghosts can enjoy these things. The food offerings that have been exposed to the full moon can still be counted as a happy event worth celebrating."

"Ah..." Li Ku'er exclaimed, joy immediately came to the corners of his eyes and brows: "Then my parents... I burned paper for them just now, are they here too?"

He Weiran nodded with a smile: "I thought I could get to the door without telling you, why is the reaction so fast this time? I'm so disappointed."

"Sister He..." Li Kuer gave her a resentful look, as if complaining that she had hidden such a happy thing for so long, so she could be more excited for a while.

The two held hands and walked quickly through the Long Dragon Banquet, and along the way, they didn't see a few money managers, but those who knew Li Ku'er, just greeted Li Ku'er in the past, and asked, "Yo Ku'er, are you dead too? Who are you with? Old or new?"

Old friends refer to people who met before death, while new friends refer to people who met after death.How can this be answered?

Some people invited the two of them to have dinner together, saying that this year the family is richer than previous years, and the food for offerings has become more refined, and finally they can share it with the neighbors.

Li Kuer declined politely one by one, only saying that he wanted to go home first.She didn't dare to let them know that she was still alive, otherwise it would take a lot of effort to explain.

All the way to the west entrance of Qingqiu Lane, Li Kuer's face was already wet with tears, He Weiran quickly blocked her with his body, wiped away her tears, and advised: "Don't cry, the human soul has no tears." .Besides, this is a happy thing, there is no need to cry. Besides, you never want your parents to see you again, with such a futile appearance."

"Well, yes, I don't cry." Li Kuer bit her lower lip and tried to hold back her tears: "But this is so unbearable, Sister He." As she spoke, she poked her head eagerly to pass the last few tables , Find parents.

At the first glance, I saw Sister Meihua first, it was really Sister Meihua, she became the same as when we first met, tall, slender, and her appearance remained the same, but the desolation of her body disappeared. Right...was feeding crystal mooncakes to Aoi who was sitting next to her very gently.

Ah Kui looked heartless, turned her head to the left to eat two mooncakes, then turned to the right and the woman on the right was talking and laughing, the woman was only on one side, Li Kuer squinted and looked, and could barely recognize come out.

Is that mother?It seems, but it looks younger than the year it died!Li Ku'er has never seen her mother's good-natured expression. Ever since she could remember, her mother's face was always full of sickness, which had never eased up. Now, looking at those smiling faces, there is a bit of high spirits in the gentleness .And there were two men sitting on the other side of her, there was no need to identify more, even if it was just one back, one could tell that the one next to her was Li Kuer's father, and the other man, look at the white hair, the stooped Body shape... Li Ku'er knew that it was Grandpa Liu next door, Uncle Liu's father.

"How? Do you still want to cry?"

Li Kuer returned to his senses and looked at He Weiran in front of him, scratched his head in embarrassment, and apologized: "I shouldn't cry, I'm not sad, I'm not wronged, all the hardships I've suffered are over, now I have you Accompanying, every day is so beautiful, why are you still crying. Sister He..." Li Kuer mustered up her courage, straightened her back, and held He Weiran's hand instead: "Go, I will take you to see Parents, they must like you!"

He Weiran let her hold her hand, covered her mouth and kept laughing: "Why does it look like you're seeing your in-laws?"

Before the two could reach the door of the house, Ah Kui jumped up from the table: "Auntie! Auntie! Sister Ku'er and the others are here!"

Li Kuer's parents stood up when they heard the words, and looked at them together. The kind smiles on their faces seemed to be able to subdue all the loneliness and sadness of Li Kuer over the years.

Li Ku'er walked two steps quickly, but still couldn't restrain her excitement and threw herself into her mother's arms.The embrace is cold, not like the warmth and fragrance of the body, but the warmth is still there.Although yin and yang are separated, blood and flesh do not matter, but the family affection and love in the past have formed an indestructible bond. Once the soul is close, the mutual concern can be touched as if it is tangible.

"Our Ku'er is getting bigger, look, she's grown so slim. Sit down quickly." Li Ku'er's mother squeezed out a seat for Li Ku'er to sit between them.He Weiran shook her head and walked towards Meihua, thinking to herself why this little girl was so focused on her feelings that she forgot to introduce her, what a fool.

Meihua knows the ways of the world and asks Ah Kui to sit on the other side of her. Ah Kui listens to her the most and immediately gives the seat to He Weiran.

He Weiran smiled, sat down generously, and nodded to Li Kuer's parents.

"You are Miss He, right? I've heard what Akui said. In the past two years, thanks to you for taking care of my Ku'er." It was Li Kuer's mother who spoke first.

He Weiran shook his hand: "Where, Ku'er is sensible and capable, but she has helped me a lot."

"How? No matter what, it's because you worry about her so much. We never thought that we could meet her again like this, let alone have dinner at the same table. I'm afraid we will not be able to repay your kindness in the next life. "

"This is really serious." He Weiran glanced at the happy Li Ku'er, and continued to say to her mother: "I have gained a lot from Ku'er, if this little thing can make her happy, I feel happy too."

Li Ku'er's mother showed a slight look of surprise on her face, and in a blink of an eye, she smiled again, and said: "It seems that we are really a family. From now on, I have to entrust the girl to continue to take care of Ku'er. Ku'er and I From now on, father... has nothing to worry about anymore."
