ghost

Shan Yichun and Ding Ming drew eye-opening runes on the eyelids in advance with well water.Well water is yin water, which has the effect of clearing yin. The well water that has just been drilled has the best effect. When used in combination with eye-opening runes, the lasting effect is longer than wiping cow tears.They looked at the familiar figure under the old locust tree, opened their mouths, but did not make a sound, and the circles of their eyes turned red.

Fang Xia felt sore in his eyes, and unconsciously lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on Ma Guangping's feet.There were bright incandescent lamps hanging on the branches of the old pagoda tree, but there was no shadow under Ma Guangping's feet.

It's been a while since I found Ma Guangping's dead soul. It's not the first time Fang Xia saw his master like this, but every time it made him feel so uncomfortable that his heart felt oppressed and his heart ached.His master is dead, no matter how much he denies and deceives himself, the facts cannot be changed.

[Why!What are you standing there for?Eat, eat, eat! ] Ma Guangping turned his eyes around his three apprentices, and then leaned towards the round table while shouting, [Ouch!This year's dishes are good, and they are all my favorites! ]

Shan Yichun and Ding Ming couldn't hear Ma Guangping's words. Fang Xia sorted out his emotions. Today was probably the last time they saw Master. No matter what, they couldn't let Master feel worried about them before he left.

"Master, Ding Ming bought you your favorite Hua Diao wine, we will not return tonight if we are not drunk." Fang Xia walked over and opened the chair for Ma Guangping.

[Then I'm lucky, give me a lot...] Ma Guangping said joyfully, glanced at Fu Jin secretly, and leaned into Fang Xia's ear and said, "That ghost is chilly, change it for me." Location. ]

Fu Jin is a fierce ghost. Although he tried his best to restrain the evil spirit in his body, ghosts are far more sensitive than living people.

Fang Xia dragged the chair and placed it next to Ding Ming, just opposite to Fu Jin, and it was the farthest place on the round table from Fu Jin.

Ma Guangping sat down satisfied, Ding Ming picked up the wine jar on the ground, slapped the seal, opened the lid of the wine jar, and filled the bowl in front of Ma Guangping.

Ma Guangping looked at the Huadiao wine that was flush with the mouth of the bowl in front of him, sniffled his nose, looked satisfied, then shook his head and said with emotion: [Last year, you poured me a sip of rice wine from the bottom of the bowl. ]

"What did Master say?" Ding Ming handed the wine jar to Shan Yichun on the other side, and looked up at Fang Xia who walked back to Fu Jin and took a seat.

"Master said you were stingy, and I gave him a sip of rice wine in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to criticize you." Fang Xia and Zhang Kuo blamed Ding Ming for Ma Guangping's complaints.

"Damn! You're just talking nonsense because we can't hear you, right?" Ding Ming picked up a chopstick from the table and threw it at Fang Xia.

Fang Xia leaned to Fu Jin's side to avoid the chopsticks thrown by Ding Ming.

"Ding Ming, don't throw your chopsticks around." Shan Yichun poured the wine for himself, handed the wine jar to Fang Xia, and got up to pick up the chopstick that Ding Ming threw away.

"Brother, you are helping Fang Xia again." Ding Ming complained dissatisfiedly, and picked up a piece of chicken for Ma Guangping, "Master hid a small altar of flower carvings under the bed during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. I was not worried that he would go back and drink too much." I just bought a small bottle of rice wine—brother, don’t you agree? Who knows that Fang Xia, who doesn’t take a nap at noon and has nothing to do, drank up the altar of flower carvings that his master kept privately with mooncakes. .”

[Fang Xia, you little bastard! ] Ma Guangping patted the table—in fact, he couldn't slap the table, he just made such a gesture to express his anger, [I said it's a good jar of wine, why did it disappear after I went out for a while?You also lied to me that I let it go too far! ]

Fang Xia lowered her head and concentrated on pouring wine for Fu Jin, pretending not to hear Ma Guangping's angry roar.

"Oh, I don't need to translate this time, Master must be scolding you." Ding Ming rested his chin on one hand, gloating.

After a few words between the master and the apprentice, they seemed to have forgotten that Ma Guangping was a dead soul, and had a lively reunion dinner just like the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years.

After drinking for three rounds, the noise hadn't subsided, and people were slightly drunk. Fang Xia grabbed Fu Jin's arm beside him, and gave a formal introduction to the masters and brothers present.

"This is Fu Jin, my lover? Partner? Anyway, the man who wants to spend the rest of my life with me... Oh, no, it's a male ghost."

"Pfft—" Shan Yichun next to him spat out a sip of wine.

"Brother, take it easy, there's no fuss about it." Ding Ming tilted his head and laughed at Shan Yichun, as if he didn't remember the embarrassing incident when he turned around and hit the wall when he heard Fang Xia's introduction.

Ma Guangping didn't stare at his favorite Huadiao wine, he looked up at Fu Jin who was opposite him in a daze.This Fu Jin is a ghost, right?No wonder he counted Fang Xia's marriage, and the result was strange, and he didn't have any heirs yet.No, even if Fu Jin was a living person, they would not have any heirs.

Being watched straightly by Ma Guangping, Fu Jin curled up his fingers on his knees under the table slightly, and he actually felt a little nervous.The other party is Fang Xia's elder, so he has met his elder?When he was alive, he had never been nervous when facing his elders by blood. This was the first time he felt the tension of facing elders.It feels a little novel, but also a little inexplicably satisfying.

No, no, how could he compare Fang Xia's elders with those elders in his lifetime?Fang Xia's master really loved Fang Xia, and his so-called elders either ignored him or hoped that he would die early.How can those people compare with Fang Xia's master?

Fu Jin stood up, picked up the full wine bowl in front of her, raised her wrist lightly, and made a toast to Ma Guangping who was opposite.

Without waiting for Ma Guangping to respond, he drank the wine in the wine bowl in one gulp.

"Fu Jin?!" Fang Xia was taken aback.

Although Fu Jin has a body, he doesn't eat the food of living people.Every time Fang Xia ate, he would set the bowls and chopsticks for Fu Jin, and also put vegetables in his bowl, but Fu Jin never really ate into his mouth.Seeing him drinking down a big bowl of wine now, can Fang Xia not be startled?

"You, are you really okay if you drink like this?" Fang Xia looked at Fu Jin worriedly.

"No problem." Fu Jin lowered his head and whispered to Fang Xia, "It's just wine, it will be released from the body soon."

Fang Xia approached Fu Jin, sniffed, and indeed smelled a strong smell of wine from Fu Jin, as if Fu Jin didn't drink the bowl of wine just now, but sprinkled it on his body.

While Fang Xia and Fu Jin were talking, Ma Guangping, who was staring at Fu Jin in a daze, finally came back to his senses. He stood up, patted Ding Ming's shoulder with his translucent hand, and pointed at him again. Pointing to the wine bowl full of wine on the table, then looking at Fu Jin, with a majestic expression belonging to an elder.

Ding Ming understood, put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up and helped Ma Guangping hold the wine bowl, and threw a distant motion towards Fu Jin, and then scattered it on the ground behind the chair.

Ma Guangping wanted to say something to Fu Jin. He stroked his short beard and thought of words. Ding Ming blew his beard and stared: [Stinky boy, how did you spill the wine?Look at your water marks, it looks like I peed my pants! ]

Ding Ming looked at the excited Ma Guangping with a puzzled look on his face.Fang Xia got under the table after listening to the situation.

The vestibule of Queshan Temple is paved with bluestone slabs, and the water poured on the ground will take a long time to seep through the gaps in the bluestone slabs, so if there is a little more water, it will flow along the terrain.Ding Ming sprinkled the bowl of wine on the back of the chair, and as a result, the wine flowed towards Ma Guangping's position, passed under the chair where Ma Guangping was sitting, and flowed between Ma Guangping's feet—well, it looked really good. It looks like Ma Guangping peed his pants.

Fang Xia lifted his head from under the table, tugged at the corner of Fu Jin's clothes beside him, and laughed uncontrollably.

Ding Ming on the opposite side still looked blank, and asked Fang Xia what Ma Guangping said.Fang Xia laughed, while repeating Ma Guangping's scolding of Ding Ming.After that, Shan Yichun and Ding Ming also laughed.

The ending was not friendly to Ding Ming, so Ma Guangping forcibly changed places with Ding Ming.

After the wine was exhausted and the food was almost eaten, Ma Guangping dragged his three apprentices to his room to find the gold bracelet.

Ma Guangping has always been very poor, sometimes even unable to pay the electricity bill, causing the entire Taoist temple to have a power outage, and he is in a state of extreme poverty every day.However, he still saved money and secretly bought three gold bracelets for the future wives of the three apprentices.The first time he saw his apprentice-in-law, he couldn't be empty-handed, right?

However, he did not live to wait for three apprentices to bring his wife back.

On Fang Xia's side, I saw it before leaving here, that is... this apprentice daughter-in-law is different from what he imagined, and I feel that the meeting ceremony he prepared seems to be inappropriate.

Ma Guangping looked at Fu Jin standing outside his room door, sighed, and turned around to see Fang Xia groping under the bed.

[What are you doing under the bed?How can I hide the bracelet under the bed? ] Ma Guangping floated over and muttered to Fang Xia.

Fang Xia got up from the ground and shook his dizzy head—he drank a little too much tonight.

"Master, why haven't you corrected your forgetfulness for so many years?" Ding Ming muttered as he turned over the vase on the window sill.

[Look quickly, look for it, where is there so much nonsense? ] Ma Guangping glanced at Ding Ming with disgust, and floated to Shan Yichun's side, [Yichun, go and look for the closet with the quilt on it, maybe I'm stuffed under the quilt.The three bracelets were put together in a black plastic bag. ]

Fang Xia first told Ma Guangping's words to his elder brother, then turned the drawer upside down and said to Ma Guangping, "Black plastic bags? You won't throw them away as trash, will you?"

[Pooh!Your master is only a third-grade high school student, without dementia, how could he throw away such an important thing? ] Ma Guangping finished his rebuttal, and continued to direct his apprentices to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Finally, the black plastic bag that Ma Guangping mentioned was found in the pocket of a coat in his closet.Inside the plastic bag were three small brocade boxes, each containing three gold bracelets with different textures. Ma Guangping pointed to the box, and after distributing the three gold bracelets to the three brothers, he showed a satisfied smile.

[Okay, I have fulfilled my last wish, so I should go. ] Ma Guangping said, turned around and floated to the door of the room, saw Fu Jin who was still looking at the door, and said: [Let's have a good time with Fang Xia, that child is dedicated. ]

After Ma Guangping finished speaking, he floated out the door.

"Master!" Fang Xia and the others came out and shouted in unison.

[It's getting late, everyone go back to bed! ] Ma Guangping turned around and waved at them, [Also, the bracelet is for your daughter-in-law, don't take it for yourself. ]

After finishing speaking, Ma Guangping walked into the moonlit yard, and the originally translucent figure gradually faded until it disappeared.

The three of Fang Xia stood at the door of the room, looking at the place where Ma Guangping disappeared, but no one spoke.

After a long time, Ding Ming sniffed and asked, "What did Master say in the end?"

Fang Xia honestly relayed Ma Guangping's words this time.

Ding Ming rubbed his nose, stuffed the brocade box containing the bracelet into his pocket, turned his head and walked to his room, "Sleep, good night."

Shan Yichun rubbed the corners of his eyes secretly, walked up to Fang Xia, patted him on the shoulder, and walked silently to his room.

Fang Xia stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked up at the full moon for a while, then slowly turned around, hugged Fu Jin who had been standing behind him, and buried her face in Fu Jin's shoulder.

Fu Jin raised her hand and patted Fang Xia on the back twice.He heard Fang Xia sobbing softly twice, and soon fell silent again.

Fang Xia hugged Fu Jin quietly for a while, then let go of her hand, lowered her head, opened the brocade box in her hand, and took out the gold bracelet inside.

It was a gold bracelet for women, with an old style design, the pattern of phoenix tails on the bracelet, and a live buckle, which can be adjusted in size.Fang Xia fiddled with the loose buckle, adjusted the ring of the bracelet to the maximum, then grabbed Fu Jin's left hand, and helped him put the bracelet on.
