Fairy Tea Temple Notes

Ke Shicheng squatted down and recognized three or four small footprints around the bedside table. This foot seemed to have several toes, and it was not a normal foot at first glance.Ke Shicheng has seen similar footprints before. During his many years of hunting and subduing demons with his master Lin Shigong, Ke Shicheng has witnessed the diversity of species.

Hearing that he wronged his wife, Boss Liu was dubious, and he asked Ke Shicheng: "Master Ke, if it wasn't for her, who would have taken it away?" children?

"I have to go to the old man's room again."

Ke Shicheng had to look at that plant again. Over the years, grass demons have been rare, so it can only be said that there are exceptions to everything. Maybe it is really a risk to become a spirit after the founding of the country.

"well!"

Although Boss Liu didn't know what Master Ke saw or sensed, he just listened to Master's orders.

The two returned to the old lady's room, and the old lady was lying on the bed. The nanny moved a chair by the bed and was knitting a sweater with her head bowed.

"I need joss sticks, I have to trouble her to go down and buy one."

"Sister He, go to the old street and buy it."

When Boss Liu heard what Ke Shicheng said, he immediately understood that he was a businessman and very shrewd.Taking out the money and handing it to Sister He, Sister He raised her head slightly, took the money, glanced at Ke Shicheng, and left slowly.

After Sister He left, Boss Liu asked, "Master, do you suspect her?"

Ke Shicheng didn't answer, just walked towards the balcony and looked at the six or seven pots of flowers and plants on the balcony, most of which were dead.In one of the large porcelain pots, there was a withered plant with intact roots, branches and leaves.

"When will this potted plant die?"

Boss Liu thought for a long time when he heard such an inquiry, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't remember it anymore. I was still alive when I celebrated my mother's birthday. My old aunt even picked a branch and put it in a hairpin, saying it was for good luck."

"When is the old man's birthday?"

"About three or four months ago."

"Pulling grass, right? Such a big tree must have been around for decades."

"It's puling grass. It has been planted for five or sixty years. My mother brought the seedlings from her mother's house. The old man is superstitious. Whenever there is any festive occasion, he likes to cut a branch and stick it on his head."

Local women also have the custom of hairpin flowers, especially the old fisherwomen who live by the sea, no matter it is a festive day or not, they also want to put flowers all over their heads, which becomes a tourist attraction.

The boss didn't believe it, so he was very indifferent to this plant, never watered it, and didn't even know when it died.In the past, these flowers and plants were taken care of by the old lady Liu, but later the old lady became seriously ill with dementia, and had to be taken care of for food, drink, and diarrhea. Naturally, she was unable to take care of the flowers and plants, and the flowers and plants on the balcony withered a lot.

Puling herb is a kind of medicinal herb, which is regarded as an evil and auspicious plant in the folk. Its leaves are layered in clusters, like blue and white hibiscus flowers, which have a certain ornamental value.

Ke Shicheng looked at the puling grass with only dry branches and few leaves. He actually saw a cloud of bluish-white gas gathering around the branches. Since the first time he entered the old lady's room, he had Noticed its exception.

The question is, what is the use of the grass demon with superficial knowledge to steal the jade bracelet?

Ke Shicheng took out a delicate bell from his body, shook it a few times on the puling grass, and said a spell in his mouth.The dry branches and bones of Puling grass suddenly bloomed with blue and white branches and leaves, and between the branches and leaves, sat a "radish", which was bigger than a palm, with a long cylindrical body and a cluster of cattail bushes on its head. The leaves of the spirit grass, the feet, and the forehead are more difficult to describe, just one foot, and then there are many whiskers.Ke Shicheng thought it should be able to jump, and sure enough, the next second it jumped out of the basin and fled around looking for a place to hide.

"stop!"

Ke Shicheng rang the bell, and Pu Lingcao stood obediently.In Ke Shicheng's hand, like a magic trick, a small colorful flag appeared, and he stuck the colored flag on the head of the Puling grass monster. Puling grass monster's mung bean-like eyes were watery, as if he was wronged.

"Find out the bracelet, I won't embarrass you."

Ke Shicheng's words are much gentler, he still loves the little grass demon, after all, it is rare in the city.

In Boss Liu's eyes, he only saw Ke Shicheng talking to the air, until he found a small colorful flag moving on the ground, and he backed away in surprise.

Only then did he understand why the nanny was sent away. He had heard Shigong Lin say that spells should not be cast in front of anyone other than the victim.

The colorful flag slowly "climbed" onto the bed, carefully jumped onto the head of the old lady Liu, and then jumped onto the pillow. It jumped twice on the pillow, and the colorful flag fell down.

This is from Boss Liu's perspective. From Ke Shicheng's perspective, the green and white grass demon pointed out where the bracelet was, and then disappeared without a trace.Most of the good folk monsters are afraid of Ke Shicheng, not because the little grass monster is too timid.

Boss Liu quickly helped Granny Liu up and shouted: "Mom, are you still awake?" Granny Liu sat on the bed blankly, her eyes were empty, suddenly she touched her thin wrist, vaguely , babbling and saying: "Give it up after letting go, and give it up after letting go."

Boss Liu couldn't understand what she was reading. Since Liu's old lady suffered from dementia, he seldom cared about her. He thought, didn't he hire a nanny for her, the nanny would take care of her.

While Granny Liu was sitting up, Boss Liu quickly pulled out the pillow, pinched it, and found a hard round object.He excitedly took off the pillowcase and dragged out the pillow core, which was intact without any signs of tearing or re-sewing.At this time, Boss Liu's expression was more shocking than fear. He tore the pillow vigorously, tore it apart, and a transparent emerald green bracelet fell out!

Picking up the bracelet with trembling hands, Liu Boss lowered his head guiltily.Although he didn't understand how the bracelet got into the pillow, he didn't even understand how the bracelet got into his mother's bedroom.He finally realized that the bracelet belonged to his mother and was snatched away by his unfilial son.

"Give it up?"

Ke Shicheng repeated the three characters of Granny Liu, but he spoke more clearly than Granny Liu, and the words were correct.Boss Liu understood this time, he sighed first, then nodded heavily.

Boss Liu put the jade bracelet back on Granny Liu's wrist and helped Granny Liu to lie down. He sat on the edge of the bed and told Ke Shicheng the story of a century and a half ago.

This story is actually not long, and the boss told it very emotionally, and even wiped away a few tears.Halfway through the story, the boss's son and daughter came back, and the two children sat aside and listened together.

The so-called "letting go" refers to the fact that in the old age, before dying, a woman was carried to the wooden bed by the hall to bid farewell to her relatives.At this time, it is a way to call the children and grandchildren to the front and present the jewelry on the body.Because it is a gift before death, it is the last wish of the deceased, and it is in front of everyone, so no matter who it is for, no matter who it is for, it is not allowed to have opinions or fight for it.

When Granny Liu's mother died, Granny Liu was 14 years old. At that time, Granny Liu's father had a concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a son.Old lady Liu's mother was afraid that after her death, her husband would be ruthless and would not give her daughter a decent dowry, so before she died, she took off the jade bracelet in her hand and gave it to old lady Liu.

After three years of filial piety, the old lady was left to marry, so she brought this bracelet as a dowry.Because it was a relic of her mother, no matter what difficulties she encountered in her life, Granny Liu never pawned the bracelet.

From the age of 14 to her 60s, this thing seems to have been a part of her body.

From the old lady's sentence: "Give it away after letting go", it probably means that she will give the bracelet to her children and grandchildren before she dies. She still wants to wear the bracelet and be with it.

When she was a young girl, because her mother passed away, she had only one bracelet to accompany her in a lonely and cold home; when she was old and demented, in the neglected room, she was accompanied by this bracelet for comfort, although there were many I caught a little grass demon.

This commission was very simple for Ke Shicheng. He helped find the jade bracelet, and the task was successfully completed.According to the past, Ke Shicheng left after finishing the work, this time Ke Shicheng was different, he made a request to Granny Liu.

"Grandma, did I take your puling grass away?"

This is a puling grass demon that is almost exhausted. If it is not taken care of, it will die completely within a few days.

"Okay."

Granny Liu nodded with a smile, her eyes did not look at Ke Shicheng, but on the bracelet on her wrist.

Ke Shicheng held a small bell between his slender index finger and ring finger, shook it twice, and the little grass demon appeared beside the old lady Liu.Ke Shicheng said with lips: "Let's go."

The little grass demon looked at Granny Liu reluctantly, and the old lady murmured vaguely: "Go, go, go." The little grass demon jumped to Ke Shicheng's side, and Ke Shicheng picked it up with light movements, Put it in your pocket.

In the eyes of Boss Liu and his children, they only saw Ke Shicheng put his hands in his pockets, they didn't understand what he did, and they were all stunned.

"I am leaving."

"Master Ke, why don't you leave without a cup of tea?"

"There is something else."

Ke Shicheng went downstairs, leaving the boss behind to see him off, thanking him all the way.

Daochang Ke, who had already walked to the front of the car, opened the door and raised his hand inside the car.Take people's money to eliminate disasters with others, each takes what he needs, no need to thank you.

The car starts and drives out of XX Yaju.It was already noon at this time, and Ke Shicheng planned to find a place to have a meal before returning to Baishui Town.

Ke Shicheng is very familiar with Q City, he often comes here.Driving the car to WD Plaza, he ate at a barbecue restaurant.

There were mostly couples or families in the store, and Ke Shicheng was alone, expressionlessly flipping the pork belly on the oven with tongs.Among them, a piece of pork belly was roasted, exuding a tempting aroma, Ke Shicheng picked it up and put it on a plate.The steaming pork belly actually moved left and right on the plate, but fortunately no one noticed.Ke Shicheng chose a remote location, where Xiao Hui could run wild with peace of mind.

Little Gray Claw used both mouths to eat the pork belly.Because it was too hot, it couldn't bite, so it could only flap its wings to fan the wind, but its wings hadn't fully grown yet, so the cooling effect was weak.

Ke Shicheng looked at Xiao Hui and seemed to be smiling. He ignored Xiao Hui and focused on putting mushrooms, shrimps, fish fillets and other ingredients into the oven.

After each item is baked, Ke Shicheng will divide it into a small portion, and one person and one bird will eat in a friendly and harmonious way.

After filling his stomach, Ke Shicheng walked out of the restaurant and walked in the aisle of the shopping mall.Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in front of him, a boy in a T-shirt and capri pants, and carrying a familiar satchel.The boy and his three companions walked together, talking and laughing.Ke Shicheng recognized He Qing at a glance, he didn't intend to go up to say hello, he walked towards the elevator, he was going to the parking lot on the first floor.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Hui on the shoulder recognized He Qing, scratching his neck and screaming loudly.

Anyone else would not be able to hear Xiao Hui's voice, but He Qing could hear it.As expected, He Qing turned around and looked for the source of the sound. Then, in the crowd, he saw the tall and handsome Ke Shicheng and the yellow-brown little gray on his shoulder.
