Fairy Tea Temple Notes

Caitou found out that he couldn't find Wang Zhiyuan, so he ran downstairs to Wang Zhiyuan's house and wandered downstairs, trying to sneak into Wang Zhiyuan's house, but he was afraid that his grandparents would find him again, and he would really be beaten.Earlier, grandma took Caitou to the temple, and Miaozhu said that children and adults could not enter the Wangjialou house.Caitou asked him why.Miao Zhu said: "Children, don't ask so many questions. If adults say you can't go, don't go."

Grandma said, if you go into someone else's house again, tell your parents to confiscate your tablet.

It's still very intimidating.

Cai Tou was standing downstairs in Wang's house sullenly, and finally planned to go back to the meat dumpling shop.Turning around to leave, far away, he heard a thin voice: "Cai Tou."

Cai turned his head and found an old grandfather walking behind him, but Wang Zhiyuan was not there.

"Zhiyuan, where are you?"

Caitou asked loudly.

"I can't get close to you."

Wang Zhiyuan's voice came again, Cai Tou was still looking around, looking for his little friend.

"Zhiyuan, come out."

"There's something powerful about you."

Hearing what Wang Zhiyuan said, Cai Tou quickly untied the other safety talisman on his shoulder, tore it off the pin, and threw it into the ditch.

Finally, Wang Zhiyuan reappeared. He was standing on the roof of an old western-style building, smiling at Cai Tou. The two children looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Zhiyuan jumped from the roof of the three-story building, as light as a feather, and Cai Tou said excitedly, "Wow, that's cool!" But Cai Tou would not learn, he knew that Wang Zhiyuan was a ghost, and he was different from him.

"Big head!"

The two little friends were talking happily when grandma suddenly called.Cai Tou slipped out while there were customers in the store, but was still discovered by his grandma.

Grandma came over, took Cai Tou's hand and said, "Go back and do your homework." Grandma glanced at Cai Tou's shoulder, and her keen eyes lit up: "Why did the amulet fall?" Thinking of grandma, she said: "Forget it, grandma will help you go to the temple to ask for another one, don't throw it away next time."

Cai Tou was dragged into the meat dumpling shop by his grandmother, and looked back at Wang Zhiyuan outside the shop from time to time. Wang Zhiyuan stood still and waved to Cai Tou.

Being dragged back to the store, Cai was lying on the desk to do his homework, looking out of the store from time to time, while Wang Zhiyuan was walking on the street, looking very boring, and his figure would pass by the door of the meat dumpling shop from time to time.Caitou took advantage of the fact that his grandfather was out and his grandmother was washing the dishes in the sink. He quickly slipped out of the shop with a can of drinks and a pack of snacks, and ran to find Wang Zhiyuan.Stuffing food into Wang Zhiyuan's schoolbag, he said, "This is delicious." Wang Zhiyuan smirked, seemingly very happy.

"Big head, what are you doing?"

Grandma didn't know when she had finished washing the dishes and poked her head out of the shop.

"No." Caitou felt that grandma was so scary, so he kept staring at him, and obediently returned to grandma's side.

Grandma glanced around suspiciously, not knowing if her eyesight had been dim for a while, she felt that there seemed to be a little boy standing by the side of the road.Grandma rubbed her eyes and looked again, the little boy disappeared.Grandma pulled Caitou back vigorously, and said to him: "If you don't obey me again, I'll lock you up at home, and you don't have to come out."

Only then did Cai Tou honestly do his homework in the store, and he didn't dare to sneak out of the store again.

In the afternoon, Brother Hao came to play with Caitou, and the two little boys with tablet computers got together to play games and compete.Grandpa said: "I know how to poke this thing all day long, and my eyes can't be blind."

Cai Tou and Brother Hao played in full swing, and didn't pay any attention to what the adults said.

"Old man, after he finishes his homework, let him go, as long as he doesn't run out."

When grandma said this, she still looked outside the store, she was worried that the little ghost would entangle Caitou again.Grandma thought about it, and decided that she had to go to the Town God's Temple to ask for a safe amulet to wear for her grandson.

At dusk, grandma wiped her hands, took off her apron, and went to the Temple of the City God.Brother Hao is tired from playing games and has already gone home.Grandpa tidied up and cleaned the store, preparing to close the store.Caitou was walking around outside the store. He looked around, but he didn't find Wang Zhiyuan, but saw other ghosts.There were six or seven ghosts, both men and women, running in a panic to a nearby alley.Ever since Cai Tou knew that Wang Zhiyuan was a ghost, he could also recognize other ghosts—he used to think they were living people, but if he looked carefully, their figures were much fainter.

"Grandpa, many ghosts are running into the alley behind our shop."

Caitou went to the store to tell his grandfather about his discovery, and the grandfather said, "Don't talk nonsense, is your grandma back?"

"Really, Grandpa, there are two fingers over there."

Caitou pointed at the door of the store, and two ghosts ran past in a hurry. Judging from their attire, they seemed to be holding long guns and wearing old-fashioned clothes, just like those in TV dramas.

"Talking nonsense in black and white, go to the temple with grandpa and find your grandma."

Grandpa had already closed the shop door, took Cai Tou's hand, and walked towards the Town God's Temple.It's the ghost month, and it's normal for ghosts to wander around Yongping Town.Grandpa grew up in this old street and had heard many ghost stories. Although he could not see ghosts, he believed in ghosts.

"It really is."

Caitou wanted to point it out to his grandfather, but his grandfather squeezed his hand and said in a low voice, "You can't tell them, and you can't take them away to point them out, you will be seen."

Cai Tou nodded, and followed his grandfather to the Town God's Temple. Grandma had already begged for a safety talisman, and pinned it on Cai Tou's clothes again.

When grandma was pinning the talisman, Cai Tou was reluctant, and was afraid of twisting around and the pin would pierce him, so Cai Tou showed a particularly rich expression.

The next morning, Cai Tou followed his grandparents to the store as usual.Grandparents are busy, Cai Tou sits at the dining table and eats breakfast.Cai Tou, who has changed into new clothes, still has a safety amulet pinned to his clothes—the safety amulet is contained in a red cloth bag, a small one, boxy, and it is particularly conspicuous on Cai Tou's green jacket.

Cai Tou finished his breakfast obediently, and told his grandma that he was going to play with Brother Hao. Grandma stared at Cai Tou, seeing that he really had to go to the incense and candle shop next door, and then went back to work in peace.

Of course, Caitou didn't go to look for Brother Hao, he slipped to the alley, crossed the alley to Wang Zhiyuan's house, and called him Zhiyuan downstairs from Wang's house.Wang Zhiyuan did not appear, and this time he did not make any sound.Cai Tou thought it was because of the safety talisman. He pulled his clothes and tried to take off the safety talisman pinned to his back, but his posture was awkward and it was difficult to hold it.

"It's so troublesome."

The sleeves of the clothes were almost torn apart, and the safety amulet was still not taken.Cai Tou simply took off his shirt, and then took off the amulet.Just as he took off his shirt, before he could take the safety talisman, someone suddenly grabbed Cai Tou's hand and said viciously, "Child, don't come here again in this alley, go back!" Cai Tou was startled, and looked up at this person , is a young man, looks very fierce, the clothes the man wears are a bit strange, like a person doing Tai Chi on TV.

Frightened by this, Cai Tou quickly put on his clothes and fled out of the alley.

After running out of the alley, Caitou looked back at the deep, dark alley. Sure enough, as the man said, the alley was crowded with a bunch of ghosts.These ghosts are squatting and sitting, male and female, old and young.

Cai Tou felt really scary, because these ghosts were not only numerous, but also different from Wang Zhiyuan, Wang Zhiyuan was clean and good-looking, while these ghosts had tattered clothes and blood stains, which looked terrifying.

Looking back, not daring to take a second look, Cai Tou ran back to the meat dumpling shop in a panic.

This morning, Caitou couldn't find Wang Zhiyuan anywhere, and was very frustrated.Obviously he hid the peace talisman in his schoolbag, and the schoolbag was in the store, so he couldn't see Wang Zhiyuan, so it wasn't because of the safety talisman.

At noon, Caitou didn't give up, and went downstairs to Wang's house again tremblingly. He didn't dare to walk down the deep alley where ghosts were hidden, but took the main road, risking being discovered by his grandparents.

"Zhiyuan! Where are you?"

Caitou yelled through the courtyard wall, and he yelled several times, but still didn't get a reply.

I don't know where Zhiyuan went?

Caitou stuffed a bag of potato chips and a bottle of yogurt into the iron gate, these were snacks for Zhiyuan.

Putting down the snacks, Caitou turned and left. After a while, Caitou's parents will come to pick Caitou back to the city.

Although he didn't see his little friend, Cai Tou could only sit in his father's car and stay away from the old neighborhood.He looked at the street outside the window, still trying to find Wang Zhiyuan's figure, until the old street disappeared behind him, and Cai Tou couldn't find him either.

Soon it was the weekend again, and Cai Tou returned to Yongping Town with his parents again. Today is a big day, the last day of Ghost Month.Every household has to offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods at dusk to send lonely souls and wild ghosts back to the underworld.

Lao Cai's house is in the old neighborhood, very close to the meat dumpling shop, just a few steps away.At dusk that day, Cai's family set up an altar at the door of their house, offering food to ghosts and gods.Not only Lao Cai's family, but every household in the town is the same, and it looks very lively.

Cai's mother-in-law puts incense, Cai's mother burns paper money, Cai's father and Cai's father stand aside.Although this day is quite special, the industrious Lao Cai, who is still in the shop, opened the shop as usual.

During the folk festival, more neighbors come to the store to buy zongzi than before.

On this day, the best business in the old street is Qiu Po's incense and candle shop.Early in the morning, as soon as the store opened, people came to buy joss sticks and paper money.

Staring blankly at the paper money being burned to ashes in the fire, Cai Tou knew that it was money for ghosts.He walked up to his mother, asked his mother for a small wad of paper money, folded it like his mother, and then burned it in the fire.Mom said: "Cai Tou is so good today." Cai Tou said: "I want to burn it for a friend." Mom panicked and looked at grandma.Grandma said calmly: "Talking nonsense, go to your father."

Cai Tou finished burning the gold foil paper in his hand, got up and left, saying that he was going to play with Brother Hao, and then ran to Po Qiu's incense candle shop under the watchful eyes of his parents and grandma.

"Mom, did you still see that thing?"

Mom asked grandma in a low voice. Obviously, Caitou and Zhigui were friends, and mom already knew.

"I haven't seen them in the past few days. They are all going back tonight. The underworld is closed."

Grandma felt that after tonight, that little ghost would not pester her grandson again.

"A Zhong, you go to Qiu Po's side and look at your son."

Mom was talking to Dad, she didn't know why, and felt flustered.

Cai Bingzhong was discussing business, when he heard his wife calling him, he nodded, chatting on the phone while walking towards the incense and candle shop.

It was a lively evening, people on the street set up altars in front of their houses, burned gold foil paper, and all adults and children were dispatched.Cai Bingzhong had a good business deal, hung up the phone, and found that someone else was already standing outside Qiu Po's shop.

"Qiu Po, is Caitou here?"

Cai Bingzhong looked into the incense and candle shop, and saw all kinds of paper-pasted items, everything that one could expect, which looked a little bit creepy.Qiu Po ​​walked out slowly, seeing that it was Cai Bingzhong, she said attentively: "Cai Tou just came to look for Ah Hao, I told him that Ah Hao is upstairs, and he left."

Qiu's mother-in-law's house has a shop door on the first floor, and the second floor is the residence. There is a staircase on the side of the shop door leading to the second floor.

Cai Bingzhong thought he must have gone to play with Ah Hao. He heard from his parents that Cai Tou and Ah Hao often got together to play games.

"Caitou."

Cai Bingzhong stood downstairs and shouted twice, Ah Hao poked his head out from the window on the second floor, and said, "Uncle Wang, Caitou is not here."

"Ahao, do you know where he went?"

"I saw him go that way."

Ah Hao pointed to the road on the right, which leads to the meat dumpling shop.

At this time, Cai Bingzhong thought that Cai Tou must be going to the meat dumpling shop to find his grandfather.So Cai Bingzhong walked slowly towards the meat dumpling shop, and when he came to the meat dumpling shop, he saw no sign of Cai Tou inside or outside the shop, he was a little flustered, and quickly asked Lao Cai: "Dad, didn't Cai Tou come to the shop? Lao Cai was looking after the cauldron on the stove, and said blankly, "I didn't come here, what's the matter?"

Cai Bingzhong immediately called his wife and asked her if Cai Tou was with her?Caitouma's sixth sense came true, and she asked in a panic, "What's going on? He didn't come back!"

In this way, on the last day of Ghost Moon, Cai Tou, the grandson of Lao Cai's family, was lost.According to the last person who saw him, he was seen walking towards Wang's house, but it was already dark at that time, so he didn't look very carefully, so it might not be Caitou.

On this day, from dusk to dawn, Lao Cai's family, together with their neighbors, turned the old street upside down, but did not find Caitou.
