Record of Yin and Yang

They stayed at Fang's house for two days, and after Fang Biqiao and Fan Yongzhen's wedding was held, Gu Jiu took the reward from Fang's father, and Shao Yi drove his own donkey cart, and the two set foot on the road to Yongping County again.

Leaving Hushang Village, when Gu Jiu and the others passed a cliff, the little Shanmei under the little brother's paw suddenly moved.

The younger brother picked up a small mountain charm and put it on Gu Jiu's lap, raised his head and meowed.

Shao Yi immediately stopped the car, this is the place where Yazi Zhang fell, and after more than a month, there was no trace left by Yazi Zhang at that time.

The little paper man sitting on Shao Yi's shoulder jumped onto Gu Jiu's shoulder and jumped out of the car with him.Gu Jiu held three small mountain charm bars in his hand, and ordered them one by one.These three little mountain charms have been with Zhang Yazi for more than a month, because of Zhang Yazi's own experience and he was busy preparing for his wedding before he had time to do evil, so they didn't learn much. Those who are scared and taught, I believe that even if they have a chance to grow up, they will not dare to come out to harm people at will in the future.

Gu Jiu threatened them again, "Let you go back now, stay in the mountains honestly and don't come out again, and stay away as soon as possible when you see ghosts with malicious intentions in the future, so as not to be enslaved again. Don't do anything bad , or it will be torn apart by the cat's claws."

"Yeah!" The little paper figurine also yelled seriously, echoing Gu Jiu's words.

The three air balls squeezed together desperately, which showed that Gu Jiu's intimidating effect was still good.

Then Gu Jiu raised his hand, and the little mountain charmers hurriedly floated up from his hand, first they quickly flew towards the direction of the forest, and after a certain distance, they stopped suddenly, looking back at Gu Jiu as if reluctantly. them.

Gu Jiu waved at them, and the three ignorant little Shanmei turned around again, this time they floated away without looking back, and quickly disappeared among the layers of trees.

"Hey." Gu Jiu sighed. The ignorant Xiao Shanmei is actually quite cute. They grow up quickly and grow slowly, and they are still a small ball for decades. Gu Jiu even thinks that when he grows old, It is also good to keep a few small mountain charms by your side.

"Yi~" The little paper man also sighed in a decent manner.

Gu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let it sit in his palm, and nodded its head, "Why are you sighing, raising children is addictive? I only sigh when I see you."

There are only five days left for this little paper man, and after five days it will fall into a deep sleep forever.

"Yeah..." The little paper figurine held his fingers and rubbed them affectionately, comforting him not to be sad.It was originally an ordinary piece of white paper, and it was Gu Jiu who gave it life and consciousness. Although it was short-lived, it was already very satisfying.

Gu Jiu's heart melted from being rubbed by it. It would be great if he immediately gave a nectar of merit and virtue, so that the life of this little paper man could be extended for another five days.It's just that the nectar of merit and virtue is always rare. Generally, it is only available if you have liberated heinous evil spirits or a large number of ghosts are liberated at one time.

Gu Jiuren, the little paper figurine, was crawling around on his body. Seeing it grabbing his clothes, and carefully pulling his younger brother's tail hair, the younger brother gritted his teeth at it, and the corners of his mouth slowly stained with a smile. The gloom slowly dissipated.

After walking for more than a day, Gu Jiu and the others slept in the field for a night, and arrived in Yongping County early the next morning.When they arrived, Gu Jiu and the others found an inn, and without waiting for a rest, they went for a stroll in the city.

It's getting cold, and they also need to buy some things for the winter, but they are basically for Gu Jiu. After all, Shao Yi won't feel cold wearing summer clothes in winter, but Gu Jiu can't wait to wrap himself in fluffy clothes .As the saying goes, warm your feet first when you warm up your body. Gu Jiu has high requirements for the heat preservation function of shoes. Every winter, he would go to buy some cotton and make a few pairs of thick socks by himself.

Gu Jiu was particularly prone to illness in winter, so Shao Yi went to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and took it back to the inn. When the time came, he boiled it for Gu Jiu to drink as a defense.

Then, as usual, I found an incense shop in the city, bought some talisman paper and cinnabar, and added some glutinous rice.

When the two returned to the inn with a bunch of things, they happened to meet a group of twenty or so people who came to stay for the night. There were men and women, the older one was in their forties, and the younger one was only five or six years old.Some of them had sad faces, some showed displeasure, and the voices of discussing with each other kept coming and going, and the inn lobby was buzzing for a while.

It was almost noon, Shao Yi took the things to the room, while Gu Jiu found an empty table and sat down to order food.

The shopkeeper was arranging rooms for those people, and Gu Jiu heard him ask the middle-aged man in his forties: "Aren't you the theater troupe invited by the Luo family? Why did you come to stay by yourself? Could it be that you were kicked out too? "

The middle-aged man said annoyedly: "Does the shopkeeper know? I am the head of our Ronghua troupe. A group of us came all the way here. We only entered the Luo's house for two days. The Luo's family suddenly asked me to take someone away. What do you think? Isn't it just playing with people?"

The shopkeeper gave them a sympathetic look, and said, "Be content, the first theater troupe kicked out by the Luo family was taken to meet the officials, who said they were going to murder the Luo family."

When Ronghua's class leader heard it, he was shocked and said, "What's going on?"

The shopkeeper looked around, and his voice was a little softer, "The reason why you were kicked out was because the Luo family said that the children in your team were disobedient and singing wildly in the middle of the night?"

"That's right!" Ronghua's class leader said, and he also said inexplicably, "I don't know about my children. The big family has many rules. Apart from rehearsing at the prescribed time, how dare you make mistakes at other times, let alone going out to sing in the middle of the night. gone."

I guessed the expression on the shopkeeper's face, "You are the third theater troupe hired by the Luo family, the first two were driven away by such rhetoric, the second one was the worst, and I went to see you again Mr. Guan, you say it’s dark or not. Let me tell you, don’t take the children with you to the Luo family, because people who know about it say that their house is haunted.”

Gu Jiu, who was holding hot tea, couldn't help but look sideways. He was close to the counter and had good hearing, so he could still hear what the shopkeeper said after listening carefully.

"Haunted?!" The class leader Ronghua couldn't help shivering, feeling that the surroundings were suddenly a bit cold. After seeing that the shopkeeper had arranged all the rooms, he sent his children back to their rooms. He stayed by himself and continued to ask about the Luo family.

Seeing that he was curious, the shopkeeper told him what he knew.

This Luo family is a wealthy family in the city. The old man Luo has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Luo Mingda is the legitimate son, the youngest son Luo Mingcong and daughter Luo Mingya are also descendants, but their mother is the old lady's stepmother.

Five years ago, Young Master Luo made a fuss and married a man back home. This man used to be the pillar of a popular theater troupe in the city.Luo Mingda, who married a man, lost the qualification to inherit the family business, and obviously did not separate the family, but made a fuss and moved out with Xiao Yu'er. After living outside for less than a year, Xiao Yu'er died of illness.

This ending made many people who knew Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but sigh, but that's how it passed after that.Fast-forward five years, during which old Mrs. Luo also went. This year, the Luo family just gave birth to filial piety, and it happened to be Mrs. Luo's birthday, so the Luo family prepared to take care of it, and specially invited a famous troupe to come back to rehearse the play.

Unexpectedly, once this theater troupe came, the Luo family would not be peaceful. Every midnight, there would be people singing opera, but they couldn't find them.The mournful and weeping voice made everyone who heard it shudder.

"Back then, Xiao Yu'er was more charming than Hua, with a good voice, so many people spent a lot of money on him. But Luo Mingda was fighting cocks and walking dogs all day long. This caused Xiao Yu'er to become ill and left depressed." The shopkeeper spoke with great disdain for the Luo family, but he felt pity for Xiao Yu'er, "Everyone who has heard the Luo family singing in the middle of the night said that the voice is exactly the same as Xiao Yu'er back then. , I see, Xiao Yuer, who died back then, came back to seek revenge from the Luo family."

Rong Hua's class leader said in a daze, "There is such a thing."

"No." The shopkeeper curled his lips and said, "Didn't Luo Mingda move out earlier? After Xiao Yu'er was gone, he lived outside for another year. When Mrs. Luo died, he took the opportunity to move back. After that, he continued to wander as before. In the human world, now Luo Mingcong is taking care of the Luo family, and Luo Mingda is often short of money in his pocket, he is the only one who has nothing to do with production, and every time he has no money, he will generously reach out and ask Luo Mingcong for money."

The shopkeeper is obviously a person who is very keen on gossip. After talking for a long time, he still has more to say, but it also satisfies Gu Jiu's curiosity in a disguised form.

When Shao Yi came down, he saw Gu Jiu drinking tea in a serious manner, but only half of his butt was sitting on the stool.

Shao Yi tapped on the table to remind him not to fall.

Seeing Shao Yi, Gu Jiu beckoned him to come over, and told Shao Yi that the Luo family might be haunted. Since they needed merit, and more importantly, they needed to make money, they all wanted to catch ghosts, so of course they tended to find rich employers.

So after the two of them had lunch, they deliberately went around Luo's house.

The house of the Luo family occupies nearly one-half of the area of ​​a street. There are vehicles pulling goods stopped in front of the Luo family, and more than a dozen workers are busy moving things down. Mrs. Luo was making preparations for her upcoming birthday, but the singing voice of the night shift cast a shadow over the upcoming birthday party.

The two stood at the corner of the street watching for a while, and when they were about to turn around and leave, a tall figure suddenly came out from the main entrance. The man walked swaggeringly, with a somewhat exaggerated posture, holding a birdcage in his hand, and whistling as he walked Teasing, the two men followed behind him, because they were behind, so they looked at the man without covering their eyes, full of impatience and contempt.

The three of them stopped at the gate, and Gu Jiu heard the man yell at the steward who was watching the unloading, "My lord, where is the car I want, why isn't it ready yet?"

The steward said with a non-smiling smile: "My lord also knows that for the old lady's birthday these two days, several carriages in the house have been put into use. My lord is going out to have some fun today, so I invite you Work harder, and send someone outside to call for a carriage."

Just as he was speaking, a carriage drove out from the corner gate.Then several people came out from the main entrance, but it was a woman with several maids.

The steward went up diligently, waited on the woman, and got into the empty carriage in front of the man.

The man was furious immediately, and asked the steward: "Didn't you say that there is no car? Where did this car come from!"

The steward sneered: "That's Madam, the head of the Luo family is naturally different from the old man."

"You!" The man pointed angrily at the steward, then let go angrily under the comfort of the servants around him, and walked away cursing with the bird cage.

When passing by Gu Jiu and the others, Gu Jiu heard him curse: "A dog's eyes look down on people!"

Since this person is the head of the Luo family, he is naturally Luo Mingda as the innkeeper mentioned.
