Uncle catching ghosts

Junior sister Ye Hanpei took Jiang Manlu to an open space. She squatted on the ground, staring straight at a small dirt bag.

"Junior Sister." Jiang Manlu asked, "What exactly do you want to show me?"

Ye Hanpei smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you squat down and take a look at the sunflowers I planted?"

"Sunflower?" Jiang Manlu said, "Where are sunflowers here?"

Ye Hanpei picked up a branch from the ground, poked the soft sand, and said, "Here, there are three."

"Three? Junior sister, are you kidding me? These are just a few ordinary mounds, where is there life?"

Ye Hanpei pursed her lips, "Why is there no life? It has been a hundred days since I planted the seeds, and I water them every day. They just grow slowly."

Jiang Manlu was taken aback, thinking that junior sister is really innocent and cute, why don't sunflower seeds sprout after being planted for a hundred days?It's probably broken, but he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem, so he didn't want to tell the truth.He asked, "Junior Sister, where did you get the sunflower seeds?"

"Master gave it." Ye Hanpei said without thinking: "He said that sunflowers will not grow unless there is a miracle."

Jiang Manlu smiled, tilted his head and asked her, "So you've been waiting for a miracle?"

Ye Hanpei nodded, "I believe that miracles will happen in this world, and stones will also bloom."

Jiang Manlu smiled in his heart: "Junior sister, junior sister, you haven't stepped into the society yet, and you don't know the cruelty of the world. Miracles are mostly based on hard work and hard work. There will be pies in the sky, but people will be smashed to death." .”

He stood up slowly and walked towards home. The junior sister chased after him and asked, "Brother, do you not believe in miracles?"

"Believe it, as you said, stones can also bloom." Although he said so, he scolded in his heart: "Silly girl, your melon seeds are probably tampered with by Master, waiting for them to break through the ground and bloom." Come out and dream."

"You lied to me." The little junior sister quickly caught up and blocked in front of him, pulling her hair by her braids, her head buried low, obviously not believing what he said.The snow made her face pale, and she had a kind of childishness that had not experienced wind and frost. She was not very tall, but she was very coordinated.

Jiang Manlu patted her on the head and said, "How could senior brother lie to you? You will understand when you grow up."

He bypassed her and continued to walk forward. Not far away, he saw that the master had woken up and was standing at the door stretching.

He turned around and urged, "Junior Sister, let's go, Master is already awake."

They came to Master together and asked softly, "Master, are you awake?"

Taoist Lishan glanced at the two of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Are you still used to it?"

Jiang Manlu nodded and replied, "I'm still used to it."

Lishan Taoist said again: "Your junior sister is also an orphan. I brought her back from the train station. Although she is a bit mischievous, she has a good heart. I didn't expect that your senior brothers and sisters get along so well. If one day I die , you must learn to take care of each other and survive independently."

"Master..." Jiang Manlu put the words on his lips, swallowed them again, and just stared blankly at the master. He didn't know why the master said such words. Tomorrow is his birthday, so he should be happy That's right.

Ye Hanpei ran to Master's side, held his hand, and said, "Master will not leave us, I will always be by your side."

Taoist Lishan had a kind face, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart was churning, almost uncontrollable. He could receive these two apprentices, what more could he ask for.He touched Ye Hanpei's head and said: "Master is just a skin, no matter how cultivated he is, he will not be able to withstand the ravages of time. People will eventually die."

Ye Hanpei blinked and looked at him, and asked: "Can't you people who practice Taoism live forever, or ascend to heaven and become immortals?"

Lishan Taoist stroked his flowing beard, looked up to the sky and laughed, then went into the room, quickly brought out two jars of wine, and said: "Pei'er, warm it up, and prepare some side dishes, I want to share with you Brother, get drunk, you must have fun in life if you are proud, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon."

Ye Hanpei didn't get an answer from her master, so she simply stopped asking, took the wine and went into the kitchen.

Jiang Manlu stood aside, feeling uneasy. He had never thought of the preciousness of time before. Seeing Master getting old, he felt that the most ruthless thing in the world is time. It can take away everything you have, including inferiority and glory. If it dies, it continues its life to another person.

"Lu Er." Taoist Lishan put his hand on Jiang Manlu's shoulder, "What are you thinking?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Then walk with me."

They came to the edge of the Biyou Pool and began to walk around the pool. Jiang Manlu followed closely behind the master, feeling that his back was so tall, like a monument that could not be surpassed in a lifetime.

Taoist Lishan put his hands behind his back and walked steadily and lightly. He said slowly: "Lu Er, I have never told you about your life experience. You don't hate Master, do you?"

"Master doesn't say, and I don't need to ask." Jiang Manlu said devoutly: "Master once said that people have roots, but I was born here and raised by Master, and I have long regarded this place as my own. roots."

Taoist Lishan stroked his beard again, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, since this is the case, that's good. In fact, it's good to live a little muddled life. If you have to take everything seriously, then it's meaningless."

Jiang Manlu was stunned, he still didn't understand what his master said, he didn't have much life experience, he was closed here since he was a child, his view of the world was just like a frog at the bottom of a well.

"Master, I had a little misunderstanding with a Taoist priest some time ago, and I wrote to you to inform you. Have you received that letter?"

"received."

"Then what do you think?"

"It's not easy to be a ghost hunter, and it's normal for this kind of thing to happen, but don't worry, I've written him a letter, and he'll take my name into consideration and not care about you."

Jiang Manlu relaxed a lot, and asked again: "Who is that person, and why is his stomach so small?"

"Oh, it's just a disciple of the Qing Dynasty." Lishan Taoist said: "Most of the disputes in the world arise because of interests. This is not advocated, quiet and inaction, Taoism follows nature, and people and nature should live in harmony. Remember to encounter such things in the future, just take a step back and open the sea and the sky.”

Jiang Manlu nodded.

Lishan Taoist suddenly stopped, looked at the pool and sighed, and said: "I have lived such a long time for my teacher, and I have competed with the people of the world for many years. Although I won the title, I almost lost myself. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't. "

Jiang Manlu suddenly remembered that he heard a woman's voice coming from the master's room before, and wanted to ask what happened, but the words were swallowed, he believed that the master was a man, and the master would never act like that Things.
