【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

"Elder Immortal, do you want to burn incense?" Li Yong enthusiastically took out a large handful of incense, and pointed to the incense burner and yellow paper that had been prepared at his feet.

Xiao Xingchen dimpled from laughter, "No need."

Xue Yang couldn't wait to urge him: "Xiao Xingchen, hurry up, hurry up! Don't waste time explaining to them, I haven't eaten glutinous rice balls for two years!"

Xiao Xingchen was not in a hurry, his palms hung down on the two bowls of glutinous rice balls, and he lifted them from the air, and the two bowls followed his hands and floated on the table. A burst of blue-green flames ignited all over his body. The two bowls disappeared out of thin air in front of Li Yong and Taotao, but Xiao Xingchen could still see them. He pushed back gently with the back of his hand, and the two floating bowls of glutinous rice balls fell steadily in front of Xiaojie and Xue Yang. I still remember saying thank you, but Xue Yang started eating without saying a word.

"Have you eaten?" Li Yong asked.

"I have." Xiao Xingchen replied.

Li Yong and Taotao exchanged comforting glances, and the two went back to the two cauldrons to get busy.

Tangyuan is Xue Yang's favorite, and he is hungry and thirsty if he hasn't eaten for two years. He wolfed down the eight glutinous rice balls in his bowl, but Xiaojie only slowly ate two. Xue Yang bared his teeth and said with a grin: "Little devil!" , why is it so slow to eat, how about I help you eat some!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his spoon to scoop up the glutinous rice balls in Xiaojie's bowl. , Xue Yang was still not satisfied, with a mouth full of glutinous rice balls, he pointed to the spoon that Xiaojie was holding up and said vaguely, "Why are you in a daze, or give me the one in the spoon."

Scared, Xiaojie swallowed the only dumpling left in the spoon in one gulp, blinking his eyes and looking pitifully at Xiao Xingchen opposite.

Xiao Xingchen also ate slowly, there was still half of the glutinous rice balls left in the bowl, and he had to call Li Yong to make two more bowls. Li Yong felt strange at first, but this time he finally mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Immortal Elder Ah, on the other side... isn't Xiaojie the only one?"

"Uh..." Xiao Xingchen didn't know how to introduce Xue Yang, so he simply replied: "Yes, there is another friend Xiaojie has made in the past few days, who also loves glutinous rice balls, so please fill up a few more bowls."

A complex look flashed across Li Yong's rough facial features, and he turned around and whispered to Taotao, the content was about discussing "Ghosts can make friends with ghosts."

Whispering is all about whispering, their subordinates didn't stop, and quickly brought several bowls of hot glutinous rice balls. Xiao Xingchen cast spells continuously, pushed the four bowls of glutinous rice balls to the opposite side of the table, and said helplessly to Xue Yang:

"Don't compete with Xiaojie, isn't this much enough for you?"

Satisfied, Xue Yang brought a bowl of glutinous rice balls to him, and said with a smile, "It can't be helped, who can tell the Taoist priest to love him more, you must take care of him if he didn't eat enough, but the Taoist priest won't care if I didn't eat enough, so I just have to Take it from him." Xue Yang turned his head and asked Xiaojie again: "Little ghost, do you also like sweets? Your family is so good, you shouldn't be short of sweets since childhood, right?"

Xiaojie replied while blowing on the glutinous rice balls in the spoon: "I love to eat it, but I can only eat it secretly."

His parents don't love him, and his servants don't want to see him. Xiaojie never dared to ask for anything since he was a child. Only Taotao treats him well, but Taotao can only treat him secretly. If Mrs. Yue finds out, she will immediately be sarcastic : "Why, do you think that my mother is not up to standard, do you want to be troublesome?"

Xue Yang pointed at Xiao Xingchen with a spoon, "Tonight, this Daoist priest is treating guests, eat in a fair manner, you can eat as much as you want!"

Xiaojie couldn't believe it and asked Xiao Xingchen with probing eyes. Xiao Xingchen was gentle and intimate: "That's right, tonight is specially here to fulfill your wish."

After getting an affirmative answer, Xiaojie and Xue Yang chewed the glutinous rice balls and looked at each other with a smile. Their eyes were full of starlight, and they all showed the innocent appearance of young people. Xiao Xingchen's eyes were reflected in Xiao Xingchen's eyes, which in vain added more compassion to his heart.

Xue Yang ate the glutinous rice balls, and thought of the first time he met Xiao Xingchen in the downtown area more than ten years ago.

He also ate glutinous rice balls on the street, he didn't think it was sweet enough, so he overturned the stall, and was seen by Zichen and Xiao Xingchen who were passing by Yunyou, Zichen's whisk hit the back of his hand with blood marks as soon as he came out, while Xiao Xingchen looked softly and warmly. He was persuading, and couldn't help laughing at the domineering young man's shaming of black and white, and said with emotion: "It's really..."

Thinking about it now, time really has changed.

With a sound of "clang", Xue Yang suddenly threw the spoon into the bowl.

"I won't eat it!"

The other two people at the table were puzzled. They didn't know what kind of strange temper this ghost had. Xiao Xingchen didn't dare to make a sound. Xiao Xingchen was afraid that he would leave Xiao Jie alone because of some unhappiness and ruin the carefully prepared night. Ask him patiently: "What's wrong? Why don't you eat?"

"It's not tasty!" Xue Yang seemed to be angry with someone, "Not sweet enough!"

Xiao Xingchen frowned slightly, expressing that he couldn't understand, but he begged for a bowl of white sugar in a very good temper, and personally added two spoonfuls to Xue Yang's bowl.

Xue Yang was a little surprised, staring at Xiao Xingchen's action of adding sugar strangely, then slowly picked up the spoon, and ate up the remaining half bowl of sugar-added glutinous rice balls with soup.

After that, a delicate balance remained between the two throughout the evening.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Xiaojie stared at Taotao for a long time. Taotao was adding firewood to a fire on a low wooden bench and controlling the cooking time of the glutinous rice balls.

Xiao Xingchen passed the message to Taotao and Li Yong on Xiaojie's behalf: "Xiaojie said the glutinous rice balls are very sweet, he likes them very much, thank you."

Taotao wiped her tears with her apron sadly: "This child... has always been so sensible, I really hope he is my child."

Say something thoughtful, but stop talking.

Li Yong understood what his wife meant at a glance, and took over the conversation: "Xianchang, Taotao and I plan to have a baby this year. You said before that people will enter reincarnation after death... Is it possible for Xiaojie to become our child?" ? Although we did not get richer than our family, we will definitely treat our children well."

Hearing this, Xiaojie was overjoyed and waited for Xiao Xingchen's answer with great anticipation.

"Sorry..." Xiao Xingchen shook his head lightly, "I can't interfere with where Xiaojie will be reincarnated."

Seeing that the husband and wife were too disappointed, he added another sentence: "But I think Xiaojie also has this wish. You may wish to have such expectations. Among all things in the world, obsession often has incredible power, and even can perform magic tricks." Things that can't be done."

Other than that, Xiao Xingchen couldn't give a better answer, so he could only leave apologetically, and took Xiaojie to go shopping elsewhere.

Going back to the busiest main street, the street illuminated by various colored lights is as bright as day. What is surprising is that such a hastily prepared lantern show also has various performances, which is almost more lively than the real Lantern Festival. People call for friends , lighting lamps and setting off flames, and guessing lantern riddles, so as to completely drive away the shadow of ghosts.

Since the death of his grandparents, Xiaojie has been under house arrest by Mrs. Yue and is not allowed to go out. Every day he is not studying or is punished to do housework. He completely loses the joy of childhood. Even though he is in the form of a ghost after "seeing the sun again", the child's heart is still full of joy.Now there is a brother in white who loves him even more, even the boss who is always fierce is much more approachable this night, the child gradually relaxes, and he has regained a little innocence, wanting to touch or touch any new thing he sees After tasting it, he unknowingly dragged Xue Yang to walk in front of Xiao Xingchen.

Xiao Xingchen bought a lot of toys and snacks almost without selection, and they were all double servings.If he only buys it for Xiaojie, no matter how childish the toy is, Xue Yang will express his dissatisfaction in various ways.But seeing Xue Yang and Xiaojie fighting and making Xiaojie liven up a lot, Xiao Xingchen treated them equally and bought two copies of everything.People came and went, and no one noticed that the things in the hands of the fairy in white always disappeared quietly after holding them for a while.Xiaojie and Xue Yang have gained a lot, and they can't stop tasting various delicacies in their mouths.Xiaojie gradually discovered that in front of this brother in white, the boss is not so much approachable as he is extraordinarily naive.

Xiao Xingchen walked slowly with the two ghosts. From time to time, people from the town greeted him and enthusiastically filled his hands with various local specialties. Behind the mask, Xiao Xingchen personally handed over a scented letter or other keepsakes to show his favor, Xiao Xingchen looked astonished, often before realizing that the woman had already shyly smiled and left the objects and fled.

Xue Yang winked at Xiaojie, Xiaojie knew what he meant, and was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Xiao Xingchen relied on Xiaojie almost everything, and the next moment, all the letters and gifts sent by the girls were taken away by Xiaojie. In the hand, Xue Yang urged Xiaojie to open the letter and read it on the grounds of checking his literacy.

It is nothing more than some love poems, not to mention directly praising Xiao Xingchen, "The wind in the moon and the moon is outstanding." Poems and essays are not as many as Xiaojie can understand. In his eyes, these words are all pretentious. Xue Yang threw a few with a sneer. Put it in the sleeve.

Xiao Xingchen said: "After all, it's someone else's good intentions, how can you trample on them at will."

After spending one night together, Xiaojie obviously liked this white-clothed brother more. He heard Xiao Xingchen's tactful reprimand, and no matter how Xue Yang encouraged him, Xiaojie would stop messing around with him. When Xue Yang glared, Xiaojie hid When he got behind Xiao Xingchen, and as soon as Xiao Xingchen frowned, Xue Yang put away his anger and smiled embarrassingly: "I'm just kidding him!"

During the conversation, another masked person came towards him, stuffed a note into Xiao Xingchen's hand, passed by in a hurry, and disappeared into the crowd.

What was strange was that, judging from his figure, this person was obviously a man, and Xue Yang was ready to snatch it away.

Xiao Xingchen had received letters carefully packed in envelopes before, but what this person gave him was a simple note. The hurried figure made people feel weird. Xiao Xingchen opened the note, his expression changed, and he saw There is a line of small characters on the top: Seize the house organization, the old nest Lanling, all hope to get rid of it.

Xue Yang probed his head and saw this line of words, he was very surprised: "Yo? Such an interesting organization, why haven't I heard of it?"

Xiao Xingchen anxiously turned back to look for it, but the crowd was vast, and half of them were wearing masks, so how could they find it?

Xue Yang teased: "Look, you good old man, you've got something to do with you."

Xiao Xingchen put away the note, and said with awe-inspiring justice, "Eliminating devils and treacherous people is not an idle matter. If there is such an organization, it must be eradicated."

Xiaojie didn't know what happened, and looked at the two in a daze, Xiao Xingchen put away his serious look, and smiled warmly at Xiaojie: "It's okay, let's continue playing."

Except for this little episode, no other accidents happened.

Xiaojie is obsessed with the lantern festival, and is full of curiosity about Xiao Xingchen's spells. In order to make him happy, Xiao Xingchen will show the simple spells such as shifting objects, lighting lights in the air, etc., and Xue Yang will not be outdone. One, I have to say, with the same technique, Xue Yang, who was born in the market, performed it more contagiously, which amazed Xiaojie, and the lantern night ended with laughter.

The author has something to say: draw a key point foreshadowing: Xue Yang is not familiar with poetry.
