fool around

Si Yu ran back to the house with one foot high and one foot low, and sat down on the sofa before he felt that something was wrong. There was a chill in the sole of his left foot, and there was a slight tingling sensation. He looked down—fuck!How come one of the shoes is missing!

He was not in the mood to go out to look for shoes at the moment, he jumped to the kitchen with one foot, picked up the kettle and shook it, there was still some water left in it that was boiled last night.Si Yu didn't even take the cup, he picked up the kettle directly, raised his head and poured more than ten mouthfuls in one gulp.

Cold water poured into his body along the throat, making his chest sink, but his heartbeat was still rumbling, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

There was the sound of the tractor starting outside——Xiao Fu went to wake up again. He lay on the sofa with one hand behind his head and felt his chest thumping louder than the tractor.

Si Yu lived for more than 20 years, and finally knew what it meant to be in a state of confusion, as if a generator was buzzing in his head.

——What if Qi Lu misunderstood?You don't really think I'm plotting against him, do you?

——He used to defend me like a junior in the engineering class defended his brother, so he must hate me even more now, right?

As soon as the thought "Qi Lu might hate himself more" appeared, it was like a thunderbolt exploded out of thin air in his mind, and Si Yu was so annoyed that he wanted to bite his tongue off.

Still clenching the yellow paper talisman in his fist, Si Yu felt that he would have no face to face people anyway, so he flattened the paper and covered his face as if giving up on himself.

Alas, Qi Lu doesn't know what he thinks of him at the moment, he probably feels that he is a stinky hooligan who just loves sex.

He sighed weakly, the paper talisman was blown by a slight air current, and moved up a little lightly, just right on his eyelid.

The red symbols on the paper reflected blood in Si Yu's eyes, he blinked, and his eyelashes brushed across the paper.

Si Yu took down the paper talisman, stared at the ghostly talisman-like picture on it for a while, then suddenly shivered like an electric shock, and sat up from the sofa awkwardly: "Ghost exorcist?"

Si Yu didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran into the room barefoot, took out "Ghost Book" from under the pillow, and quickly browsed the contents while turning the pages.

He remembered correctly, he had insomnia late last night, and happened to see this rune when he was flipping through the manual. At that time, he thought it was interesting, so he followed the illustration and drew it in the air.

Si Yu's fingers moved quickly, and his fingertips slid across every line of words and every pattern. When he turned to the sixth page, he paused, and put the paper symbols next to the manual for careful comparison.

The same rune was drawn on the booklet, drawn in one stroke, very smooth, and a line of small characters was marked with a brush below it - evil spirit talisman, drawn with a Chinese ink brush on yellow paper, ready to drink after burning, can expel seductiveness, eradicate demons, purify aura.

Si Yu raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows. This is indeed the same ghost exorcism talisman.How could Lin Mubai have this in his hand?There are also the same runes in the manual, is it a coincidence, or some other reason...

Si Yu shook his head, stopping his thoughts in time to let himself not think too much.

——Si Yu was abandoned by his mother when he was young, and experienced the pain of losing his father when he was a teenager. He grew up alone and struggled all by himself. In the process, he developed his own way of survival: Most of the time, a gentle gesture can avoid a lot of trouble, but he insists on something stubbornly under his non-threatening appearance.For example, unfounded speculation will only bring fear and weakness, and he is more willing to believe the facts he has obtained after verification.

He pulled out another pair of slippers from under the bed, walked out with the manual and paper talisman, took two steps and then turned back, bowed his head for a while and thought, and then put the booklet back under the pillow.

On the lawn, Lin Shubai is performing routine "photosynthesis".His posture today is more difficult than before, with a big stride in his lower body, his arms raised high, his palms touching the top of his head, his eyes closed, his upper body leaned back, his dark skin bathed in the bright golden sun rising in the morning , quite a sense of detachment and refinement.

Other working people face the loess and their backs to the sky, but he did it the other way around.

Xiaomao chased his tail around a tree to play, and when he saw Si Yu coming out, he ran up and wagged his tail excitedly, but Si Yu didn't squat down to pet his dog's head as usual, but instead looked unhappy.Xiao Mao barked a few times at Si Yu's feet, and found that Si Yu didn't intend to play with it, so he ran away resentfully with his tail between his legs.

"Hey." Si Yu called him.

Lin Shu didn't even open his eyes, and the eight-character motto came out: "Photosynthesis, please do not disturb."

Si Yu was impatient to talk nonsense with him, so he pushed his index finger on Lin Mubai's forehead. Lin Mubai, who had been gaiting awkwardly, lost his balance and fell down with an "ouch".

"Where did you get this thing?" Si Yu asked bluntly.

Lin Mubai rubbed his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked at Si Yu for a long time, and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Si Yu was angry and funny, kicked him lightly on the foot, and said, "Did you watch too many ghost movies last night?"

"Are you really Si Yu?" Lin Mubai was still not sure.

Si Yu was convinced by this guy, he didn't know what kind of waste was stuffed in his huge head, so he stomped his feet and said, "Look at the ground."

Lin Mubai looked down at the ground, then raised his head and said "ah?"

"Shadow!" Si Yu's head grew big, "Which ghost has a shadow!"

Lin Mubai finally came to his senses, and asked one more question cautiously: "What is my favorite food?"

"Eat everything," Si Yu snorted, "Add more green onions to noodles with scallion oil, and only eat eggs in tomato scrambled eggs."

"Si Yu, Si Yu is really you!" Lin Mubai clapped his hands again, and now he was sure that it was Si Yu's right. He jumped up and grabbed Si Yu's hand, and shouted, "This talisman is not bad. use!"

"What are you doing sticking this on me?" Si Yu pressed Lin Mubai's shoulder and asked him.

"I posted you because you were ghosted..." Lin Mubai replied immediately, before he finished speaking, he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth as if thinking of something, his eyeballs rolled around twice. Then he continued, "Just kidding with you! That kind of, uh, that kind of ghost-hunting game, right, right, you know the ghost-hunting game, you pretend to be a ghost, and I'll catch you..."

What he said was messed up, if it was put on ordinary people, Si Yu would not believe it.But Lin Mubai's usual style is to be in a daze and muddleheaded way, so when he said these words, Si Yu didn't feel that he was too disobedient.

What's more, it was said in the "Treasure of Ghosts and Ghosts" that this talisman would only work if it was burned to ashes and drunk. Lin Mubai just slapped him so fiercely, obviously he didn't know how to use this thing.

But he noticed that Lin Mubai's reaction just now was a bit weird, and he made a sharp turn immediately after speaking halfway.Si Yu still had doubts in his heart, but he didn't bother with Lin Mubai anymore, and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

This time Lin Mubai answered very simply: "The last human teacher stayed! She left, I saw it in her room."

Last teacher?

Si Yu was very surprised by this answer, he subconsciously blurted out: "Ruan Ruan?"

"Oh, it's her." Compared to Ruan Ruan, Lin Mubai was obviously more concerned about another matter, "What do we have for lunch? Are there any Pippi shrimp today?"

Si Yu looked at the talisman and pondered for a moment, then asked Lin Mubai, "Do you recognize the pattern on it?"

"I haven't seen it," Lin Mubai shook his head honestly, and continued, "Brother Qi may know."

"Qi Lu?"

"Yes," Lin Mubai's eyes lit up when he mentioned Qi Lu, "Brother Qi is amazing, Brother Qi knows everything, Brother Qi has read many, many books..."

What he said was all nonsense, and the Qi Lu he described seemed to be the reincarnated Wenqu star who knew everything. Si Yu ran out of patience, and just about to interrupt him, he heard Lin Mubai say: "I saw Qi Lu once. Brother Qi was talking to that Ruan Ruan, and Ruan Ruan was holding this thing in his hand, so Brother Qi must know."

"What happened next?" Si Yu frowned.

Lin Mubai said, "It's gone."

Si Yu: "No more?"

Lin Mubai shrugged: "Ruan Ruan left the next day, she was gone."

Si Yu didn't speak any more.

——Ruan Ruan, a normal student from a remote mountainous area, was subsidized by the government and came to Gutang to work as a rural teacher. Why did she carry this talisman with her?What is she afraid of?Or... what are you on guard against?Does this spell have anything to do with the manual his father left behind?

Si Yu stood in the sun, but felt a chill rising from the tailbone, slowly climbing up the spine, and he couldn't help shivering.

He went to the shade of the tree, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and planned to call Ruan Ruan, but a cold mechanical female voice sounded from the other end of the mobile phone, reminding that "the person you dialed has turned off the phone".

Calculating the time, Ruan Ruan will be here in a few days, and it will not be too late to ask her face to face.But if this matter is not clear for a day, it is like a stone is hanging in his heart, which makes him uncomfortable.

Si Yu stared blankly at the gradually darkening phone screen for a while, why don't you...ask Qi Lu?

As soon as this idea appeared, he shook his head immediately, no, no, the embarrassment in the morning almost killed him, if he had to take the initiative to find Qi Lu, it would be better to let him share a room with a hundred ugly bats... …

He was thinking wildly here, when there was a rumbling sound from the other side of the bridge, it was Xiaofu who came back with his tractor.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Si Yu's mind, and he waved to Xiao Fu.

The little guy jumped out of the car, and saw Si Yu waving at him from a long distance, and happily ran towards him.

Si Yu bent down and took Xiao Fu into his arms, hugging him and shaking him in his arms.

Xiaofu giggled, then clapped his little hands, shook his head and recalled the question that he couldn't get an answer in the morning, and asked Si Yu: "Brother, what is seduction? What is occupation?"

"..." Si Yu was stunned for three seconds before he could answer with a smile, "My brother doesn't know either."

"Master doesn't know, neither does brother," Xiaofu said with a stern face, "Xiaofu doesn't know either. Is this question too difficult?"

"I know!" Lin Mubai volunteered to answer.

"Get out!" Si Yu scratched his eyes, Lin Mubai wrinkled his nose and ran away.

Si Yu put Xiaofu on the ground, straightened the little guy's collar, lowered his head and coughed twice, his eyes flickered, and said: "Brother made delicious drunk crabs at noon, and Xiaofu brought the master to my brother's house for dinner, okay?" ?”

"Wow!" Xiaofu spun around excitedly, "Crispy crab, crispy crab, Xiaofu eats crispy crab!"

"It's drunk." Si Yu corrected the little guy's pronunciation with a smile.

"Falling Crab!" Xiao Fu repeated.

Si Yu shook his head, patted Xiao Fu on the head, and said, "Go, don't forget to bring the master with you."
