I miss you
Chapter 48 Lost Soul
As the temperature gets lower and lower, the taste of the year becomes stronger.
Shen Musi called the people in the house to clean up the whole building, pasted up window grille couplets, and hung up red paper-cut lanterns, adding a bit of excitement to the deserted atmosphere of the whole building.
Zhou Jiayu originally wanted to help, but the other four all said that he only needs to concentrate on cooking, and he doesn't need to do anything else.
Zhou Jiayu lamented in his heart that good cooking skills seem to be quite advantageous no matter where he is.
Several people from Zhou Jiayu went out to buy the necessities for the New Year. They could have been delivered to their homes, but Shen Yiqiong insisted on going out, saying that it would be enough for the New Year.Shen Musi and the others have always been very tolerant of Shen Yiqiong's various demands, and they agreed when they saw that he insisted.
So Shen Yiqiong drove Zhou Jiayu to buy new year's goods.
Zhou Jiayu hadn't reacted when he first got into the car, and when Shen Yiqiong sat in the driver's seat and lit the ignition, he suddenly realized: "Shen Yiqiong, aren't you under eighteen? Have a driver's license?"
Shen Yiqiong said bluntly, "No."
Zhou Jiayu: "Then..."
Shen Yiqiong said, "You have?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "I...haven't either." He did not have a driver's license.
After receiving Zhou Jiayu's answer, Shen Yiqiong stepped on the gas pedal contentedly, and the car rushed out.
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Jiayu was terrified, afraid that a traffic policeman would come out halfway and take Shen Yiqiong away.Now driving without a license has to be detained for more than ten days according to the current law.
However, Shen Yiqiong's driving skills are not bad, and he drives quite steadily. He swears that he can actually drive a long time ago, but he is not old enough to get a driver's license.Zhou Jiayu didn't know what to say.
The place to buy new year's goods is a big market, which can be said to have almost everything that one could expect. Shen Yiqiong seemed to be spending money, buying a lot of useful and useless things, which made Zhou Jiayu dumbfounded.
In the end, when Shen Yiqiong asked to buy bubble water, Zhou Jiayu really couldn't hold back, saying that there is no child at home, why are you buying this?
Shen Yiqiong opened his eyes wide: "Why don't you have any children? Isn't that paper figurine our child?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." Our... our... children?Shen Yiqiong really regarded himself as a godfather.
Shen Yiqiong said: "Preschool education can't be sloppy, take a look, if you accidentally develop the kind of ignorant paper man in Xu Jinghuo's hand, wouldn't you be able to see it carrying a machete every day when you wake up? standing by your bed."
These words caused Zhou Jiayu to recall certain shadowy memories, and he fell silent.
Without Zhou Jiayu's stop, Shen Yiqiong bought more joyfully, filled the entire trunk and back seat of the car, and happily went home.
This was Zhou Jiayu's first time shopping for New Year's goods like this. He thought Shen Musi and the others would talk about Shen Yiqiong when they got home.Unexpectedly, they seemed to be used to it, resigned to their fate and moved the things Shen Yiqiong bought into the house.Shen Yiqiong took his bubble water rattle and a series of gadgets to find the little paper man to play with.
Zhou Jiayu always felt that the harmonious atmosphere between them was a bit weird.
The little paper man always fights with the weasel when he comes here.At the beginning, he had to suffer a little bit, but after he had mastered the skill of fighting, he stuck it on the back of the weasel's head and scratched it frantically.The weasel had short arms and legs and was powerless to resist. Zhou Jiayu watched it twist into a flower and even wondered if he would turn into a human on the spot and grab the paper figurine off the back of his head.
But there is a problem with this, Zhou Jiayu found out that the back of the weasel's head seemed to be bald again by the little paper man... But he didn't dare to tell Xiao Huang about this, but quietly brought the little paper man back The room taught it a bit, let it focus on other parts, but don't turn the weasel into the Mediterranean again, otherwise the weasel will definitely explode on the spot after knowing it.
Chinese New Year really makes people so happy, you can eat what you want, and meet people you want to see.
The day before New Year's Eve, Lin Zhushui sent someone to send the head sheep over, so Zhou Jiayu started the stove and made a mutton hot pot.The mutton is not only fresh, but also of good quality. Zhou Jiayu braised some of it in soy sauce, boiled mutton soup, and cut the mutton slices to make mutton mutton.
Lin Zhushui didn't come over during the meal, Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a moment, and he still put up some food first, and asked Shen Yiqiong to take him over to deliver the food to Lin Zhushui.
Shen Yiqiong said: "Wow, this is the first time I have delivered food to my husband."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Haven't you delivered them before?"
Shen Yiqiong's expression was a bit painful when he heard the words, and he said, "Do you think, if I give the food I made to my husband, will he love me or hate me?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." It makes sense.
Shen Yiqiong said very philosophically: "There are some things, giving them is actually a greater torture to the other party."
Zhou Jiayu recalled the taste of the noodles made by Shen Yiqiong, and felt that the word torture was used quite delicately.
When they arrived at the place where Lin Zhushui lived, Zhou Jiayu knocked on the door.After a while, the door opened, revealing Lin Zhushui's indifferent face: "Huh?"
Zhou Jiayu hurriedly handed over the basket full of food in his hand, and said, "Sir, I finished the mutton you sent, and since you didn't come, I brought some for you."
Lin Zhushui took the basket and nodded: "Go back."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Hmm..." He actually had something to say, but in the end he held it in his throat and couldn't say it.
The mutton feast for dinner was warmly welcomed by everyone.The mutton is tender and fresh, no matter how it is cooked, it tastes very good.Instant-boiled mutton is the most suitable for Zhou Jiayu’s taste. The thin mutton slices will be cooked as soon as they are hot, and then dipped in some sesame sauce, the mouth will be filled with the unique umami taste of mutton. It will not clog the teeth when chewing, and the meat is soft and tender. And elastic.
The meat from one sheep weighed more than 30 catties. They ate from seven o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, and they managed to solve the problem.The weasel also got a share, gnawing on the big bone contentedly beside him, while the little paper man fell asleep in Zhou Jiayu's chest pocket, with his head bit by bit, looking very cute.
Zhou Jiayu's whole body was warm, and his cheeks turned crimson. He drank some wine, got a little tipsy, and smiled silly.He feels that his current life is pretty good, he is very satisfied, and seems to have no other extravagant wishes.
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Jiayu made dumplings, and Lin Zhushui came over to have dinner with them at night. The TV in the living room was on, playing the lively Spring Festival Gala program.
Zhou Jiayu was holding a weasel in his arms, and Lin Zhushui was sitting beside him. He smelled a scent similar to sandalwood, which was very faint, and Zhou Jiayu knew it was coming from Lin Zhushui.This smell made Zhou Jiayu feel extra at ease, and even involuntarily wanted to get closer to Lin Zhushui.
"Let's go out and set off firecrackers!" Shen Yiqiong suggested, "I also bought a lot of fireworks."
"Let's go," Shen Erbai was the first to stand up.
So the group walked out, with Zhou Jiayu and Lin Zhushui walking last.There were snowflakes in the sky, and it felt cool when it fell on the skin. The surroundings were filled with voices and laughter, and it was extremely lively.
"There is a temple fair in the third year of junior high school." Lin Zhushui who was standing beside Zhou Jiayu said suddenly, "Let's go together."
At first, Zhou Jiayu thought he had heard it wrong, and he paused for a few seconds before realizing it. He couldn't help being excited: "Okay!"
Lin Zhushui nodded.
"Wow, this is the first time my husband asked me out." Zhou Jiayu was so happy that he couldn't show it, so he could only say to Jiba in his head, "Oh my god, I'm so happy!"
Ji Ba said: "Congratulations!"
Zhou Jiayu was very happy.
The sound of crackling firecrackers drove away the Nian beast, and the fireworks blooming in the night sky prayed for a happy new year.
The first day of the lunar new year is the day of sacrifice.
In the morning, people from the Lin family came over early, and Lin Po was naturally among them. Zhou Jiayu didn't know until after breakfast that they had to go to the mountain to worship their ancestors this morning.
Lin Zhushui seemed not very interested, and his expression was very indifferent along the way.
The Lin family's cemetery is private, and all the people buried in it are members of the Lin family.Both the environment and Feng Shui of the cemetery are excellent. As soon as Zhou Jiayu entered, he saw a trace of auspiciousness in the cemetery.Although this auspicious energy is weak, it is not a common phenomenon to appear in the cemetery.
After Lin Zhushui burned incense, he stood beside him and asked the remaining disciples to kowtow to their ancestors one by one.
Zhou Jiayu was standing in the back, not knowing what to do. Up to now, Lin Zhushui hadn't clarified the identity of his apprentice. He didn't know which way of worship was more suitable for him... Just thinking about this, Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand and patted him gently. Patting his shoulder, raised his chin slightly, and said to Zhou Jiayu, "Go, kowtow to Master."
Zhou Jiayu hurriedly said hello, took the incense from Lin Po, and respectfully stepped forward to kowtow a few times.Standing by the side, Lin Po looked at Zhou Jiayu with complicated eyes, and Zhou Jiayu couldn't tell what it was like, but he could clearly see the suppressed jealousy inside...
Well, being jealous by the head of the Lin family is a skill, Zhou Jiayu comforted herself.
The Lin family is a master of Fengshui, but the method of offering sacrifices is extremely simple. It is nothing more than offering a few sticks of incense to the descendants and placing some sacrifices.There are more than 200 people in Lin Linzong, a collateral branch of the Lin family, and it was done in one morning.
Lunch has been prepared at the cemetery, and it looks quite elegant, and Zhou Jiayu can't even eat the raw materials for some dishes.
But no matter how exquisite the outside dishes are, Lin Zhushui doesn't give much face. This time Zhou Jiayu paid a little attention, and found that he only moved his chopsticks, and only picked up an asparagus in front of him— —It seems to be perfunctory and I am too lazy to be perfunctory.
Lin Po's attitude was also a little different from before. He seemed to know that Lin Zhushui was in a bad mood, so he was very careful when he spoke.Lin Zhushui answered indifferently, with a frighteningly indifferent expression.
Shen Yiqiong was uncharacteristically quiet today, he didn't dare to chat at the dinner table, and buried his head in the bowl while eating.
It was only in the afternoon that Zhou Jiayu understood the reason for these abnormalities.
They left the cemetery early, but Lin Zhushui didn't get in the car.
"Where's sir?" Zhou Jiayu asked in a low voice.
Shen Yiqiong made a silent gesture, and when the car drove out of the cemetery, he said, "Sir, I went to see my master and grandma."
Zhou Jiayu was stunned for a moment: "They all..."
Shen Yiqiong nodded.
On the way back, Shen Yiqiong intermittently talked about Lin Zhushui's parents.It is said that the two are well-matched, they are both masters of Fengshui, they fell in love at first sight when they first met, and they got married.
After Lin Zhushui was born, the relationship between the two was sublimated even more. This kind of beautiful life lasted until Lin Zhushui's body of the most yang gradually appeared.In the Feng Shui industry, the most feared thing is the private things, so the most yang body usually has extremely high attainments in this industry.Although this kind of physique will disturb the compass, as long as you learn the method of flying stars in the nine palaces, you can get rid of the limitation of the compass by pinching with your fingers.But this kind of physique has a great flaw, which is short lifespan.
Shen Yiqiong said: "At that time, it was widely rumored in the industry that the ancestors of the Lin family had made a fortune-telling for Mr., saying that he would not live to be eighteen. Everyone believed it, but they didn't know what Mr.'s parents had done. The heavens changed fate, let the husband survive the hurdle of eighteen."
Zhou Jiayu felt a little sad when he heard that.
Shen Yiqiong sighed, and there was a rare taste of sadness between his brows: "But changing one's fate against the sky is against the law of heaven. Year-old sir..."
Eight years old, even a genius like Lin Zhushui is just a young boy.Sudden loss of parents must be a deep blow.
"This matter seems to have something to do with the Lin family." Shen Yiqiong said, "So Mr. moved out of the Lin residence not long after and set up his own family."
Zhou Jiayu had always thought that the relationship between Lin Zhushui and Lin Po was a little weird, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing in it.
"So every year after worshiping the ancestors, Mr. is not in a good mood." Shen Yiqiong huddled in his seat, listless.
Zhou Jiayu felt that he really couldn't help, and felt a little disappointed, and said, "I'll make more dishes that my husband likes when I go back tonight."
That night Zhou Jiayu put in some effort to cook a table full of dishes, waiting for Lin Zhushui to come back.
Seeing his anxiety, Shen Musi said kindly: "Don't worry, sir will definitely come back, but the time will be later, let's wait."
Zhou Jiayu thanked him a little embarrassedly.
"Mr. is in a bad mood on this day every year." Shen Erbai comforted, "We don't know how to persuade you, it's good that you can cook this meal, don't think too much."
The remaining two nodded in agreement.
They were right. Lin Zhushui didn't arrive home until around eight o'clock in the evening.Hearing the sound of a car at the door, Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong ran outside, followed by a weasel and the little paper man who insisted on riding on the weasel's back.
Looking at their backs, Shen Musi smiled and said, "Zhou Jiayu is here, the room is a bit more popular."
Shen Chaosan usually listened to silence, but after hearing Shen Musi's words, he said meaningfully: "Only the house?"
Their eyes met, and they both saw what they wanted to say in each other's eyes.
"It should be a good thing." Shen Musi whispered to herself.
After a few minutes, Lin Zhushui sat down at the dining table, and they started eating.Compared with noon, his appetite was obviously much better, and he even added two extra meals.
The other five people in the room were very happy to see it.
Lin Zhushui is a powerful person, and because of this, when he encounters some things, others have no way to comfort him.It was as if speaking words of mercy was an insult to him.
Fortunately, now there is an extra Zhou Jiayu.
The food was very rich, and after eating it in the stomach, people also warmed up. Shen Yiqiong talked about the temple fair in the third year of junior high school, and said that it must be very lively.
Zhou Jiayu responded to his words and expressed his expectation.
The room gradually became lively again, and the little paper figurine somehow pissed off the weasel again, and was grabbed and stomped by the weasel. Fortunately, the paper figurine was made of a special material, and it was difficult to destroy it simply by physical effects.But after being bullied, it would crawl onto Zhou Jiayu's arm aggrieved, begging for comfort.
Zhou Jiayu touched its head.
After eating, before leaving, Lin Zhushui thanked Zhou Jiayu.
Zhou Jiayu was flattered, and waved his hands and said, sir, you are too polite, if it weren't for you, I would be now... He quickly stopped talking at this point, because he found that he almost confused his identity again.
Lin Zhushui raised the corners of his mouth, and said lightly, "If it wasn't for me, you would still be eating hot and spicy food."
Zhou Jiayu: "..."
Shen Yiqiong said from the side: "Yes, yes, Zhou Jiayu, you don't know how rich you are, my god, you have five or six seaside villas, but they are gone now, and all compensation will be given to the victim." people."
Zhou Jiayu felt like he had nothing else to say besides thank you...
Just like children look forward to festivals, Zhou Jiayu also looks forward to temple fairs.On the third day of junior high school, he got up early, put the steamed buns prepared last night into the steamer, and had breakfast with a few people.
The location of the temple fair was at the east end of the city. Before getting out of the car, Zhou Jiayu heard the noisy voices of people.
Several people got out of the car and followed the crowd to the street where the temple fair was.
Although there were people everywhere, Lin Zhushui was still very eye-catching. He was wearing a black half-length windbreaker, revealing the light gray v-neck sweater inside.The clothes are not tightly covered, and you can even vaguely see the beautiful collarbone, the slender neck with beautiful lines, and the slightly protruding Adam's apple in the middle of the neck. These parts exude an extremely eye-catching temperament.Lin Zhushui's closed eyes made his indifferent temperament even stronger, but in this indifference, there was another special flavor. It was difficult for Zhou Jiayu to describe that feeling, but he noticed that standing Many girls around Lin Zhushui cast their gazes on him as if they were there.
Zhou Jiayu just glanced at it and inexplicably felt a little hot on his cheeks, and looked away uncomfortably.
"It's so lively." Shen Yiqiong likes to be lively, and he was very happy along the way, "Wow, I want to eat candied haws, do you want it?"
Others expressed contempt for him one after another, saying that it was something children eat.
"I don't care, I don't care, you have to eat with me!" Shen Yiqiong began to play tricks, "Isn't coming to the temple fair just to play games and eat snacks? Zhou Jiayu, come and buy with me."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Zhou Jiayu a chance to refuse, and dragged him away abruptly.
There are many kinds of candied haws here, including hawthorn, strawberry and grape kiwi. Shen Yiqiong picked out five bunches and beckoned Zhou Jiayu to go.
Zhou Jiayu said, "Aren't you going to buy it for sir?"
Shen Yiqiong was startled: "I really want to buy it, so you can give it to your husband?"
Zhou Jiayu thought about it and agreed.
When Shen Yiqiong paid the money, he sighed that Zhou Jiayu was getting more and more courageous, where did the little hamster that trembled when he saw Mr.
Zhou Jiayu said, "So don't call me Guan Er from now on..."
Shen Yiqiong laughed, and then rejected Zhou Jiayu's request.
When the other three saw Zhou Jiayu handing the candied haws made of strawberries to Lin Zhushui, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.But when they saw that Lin Zhushui actually took the candied haws, their jaws almost dropped.
"It's strawberry." Zhou Jiayu also explained, "We chose the very plump one, you can taste it, if you don't like it, just give it to me."
Lin Zhushui nodded, opened his mouth and took a bite.The strawberry was sucked into the mouth, making the cheeks slightly puffed up, adding a touch of cuteness to Lin Zhushui inexplicably.
Of course, Zhou Jiayu only dared to think about Lin Zhushui's cuteness.
"Not bad." After swallowing the strawberry, Lin Zhushui commented, "It's a bit too sweet."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Then do you still eat?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Eat."
So several people watched Lin Zhushui eat a whole candied haws with their own eyes.This scene was probably too strange, Shen Yiqiong didn't slow down for a long time.
There are huge crowds of people everywhere in the temple fair, those who sell things, those who buy things, those who perform programs, and those who watch programs, it is extremely lively in a mess.
Zhou Jiayu saw a fortune teller inside and pointed it out to them.
Seeing that the man was holding a flag in his hand, Shen Musi was amused, and said on the flag: "The iron mouth is straight and broken, with four big characters."
Shen Erbai guessed casually: "Judging from this person's face, it's likely to be a mess."
Zhou Jiayu was ignorant of what he heard, and Shen Yiqiong explained to him next to him: "Xuan and Jian are both Jianghu dialects. As the saying goes, Xun is a trick used by liars to deceive people. Jianer means that he has dry goods. At least read books on the subject."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Oh!"
"This charlatan is the enemy of our profession." Shen Yiqiong stood beside Zhou Jiayu without moving, but Shen Erbai went over there, "It's okay if it's a bit dry, but if it's really just Relying on quack tricks to deceive people, we have to break this flag for him."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Because they cheated?"
Shen Yiqiong said: "Because they ruined the name of Fengshui Guaxian." In their business, the most annoying thing is liars, because those people use the banner of Fengshui masters, but they do deceitful deeds.They have worked hard to learn art for 20 years, but they are called liars because of the nasty things these people did. No one can accept this.
Shen Erbai had already arrived at the man's table, he sat down directly, and said, "Master, do the math for me."
The fortune teller said, "What do you want to calculate?"
Shen Erbai said: "Let's count it as my mother's business."
The fortune teller said, "I'll take a look with your left hand."
Shen Erbai stretched out his hand, and after careful observation by the fortune teller, he sighed and said, "Your mother must have been ill for a while."
Shen Erbai said: "How do you know?"
The fortune teller sighed: "Look at your eyebrows are black, your Yintang has white lines in your nose, and your hair is withered and yellow... This is a sign of my mother's serious illness."
Zhou Jiayu and the others stood not far away listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Mu said in all directions: "It's fishy, sir, what should I do?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "Let someone find out and deal with it. Let him go today."
In just a few words, they seemed to have determined the identity of the person in front of them as a liar.
Zhou Jiayu thought it was because the person was inaccurate, but Shen Yiqiong explained: "If your mother is fine, would the first question you ask when you go to fortune-telling be to ask her how she is?"
This is true, fortune-telling and divination usually ask about things that are on your mind. If you can ask how your mother is, and then calculate based on the age of the person who asks the divination, 80.00% of them are related to illness.
"What if the calculation is wrong?" Zhou Jiayu felt that this matter was not entirely reliable.
Shen Mu said: "If you make a mistake, it's a mistake, as long as you don't charge money, it's not a big deal."
Zhou Jiayu was thoughtful.
After Shen Erbai came back, he was very dissatisfied with the fortune-teller, saying that the craftsmanship of these Jianghu people was getting rougher and rougher. I think back when these Jianghu people were not in decline, the handbags of gold and the craftsmanship of the overturning seal were so impressive. Tongue praise, but now must rely on blindness.
Zhou Jiayu's mind was full of questions, but he was embarrassed to be a hundred thousand why, so he thought he'd better go back and look through the book by himself.
At the end of the temple fair is a large temple enshrining Buddhist beads.Looking at the people coming and going during the period, it can be seen that this temple must be full of incense.
Lin Zhushui asked them to buy some joss sticks and money paper, and went in to worship before coming out.
It was noon at this moment, and there were more and more people around. Zhou Jiayu was walking in the crowd when he suddenly heard someone shout his name loudly.
Zhou Jiayu looked back into the crowd, but couldn't find anyone calling his name, but when he turned his head, he found that Lin Zhushui and the others had been pushed further away by the crowd.
Zhou Jiayu hurried over, but someone pulled his foot. He lowered his head and saw an old lady sitting on the ground, wailing: "It hurts, it hurts..."
Seeing that there were so many people around and the old lady was still sitting like this, Zhou Jiayu was afraid that she would be trampled on, so she lowered her head and said, "Old lady, are you okay?"
"Help me up, it hurts so much." The old lady was wearing a flowered gown with a white flower on her head. Although she was dressed a little strangely, she didn't have any strange aura on her body.Besides, there were so many people around at this time, there shouldn't be any problems, Zhou Jiayu thought so, and with a strong hand, he helped the old lady up.
"Old lady, where is your family? Did you hurt your foot?" Zhou Jiayu asked the old lady about her injury.
The old lady didn't speak, and looked at him with squinted eyes. Zhou Jiayu was very uncomfortable being stared at by her eyes, and was about to take a step back, but she saw her stretch out her hand very quickly, and slapped him hard on the back ——Her voice sounded next to Zhou Jiayu's ear, and she said, "Give me back my grandson's life—"
Zhou Jiayu's whole body shook violently, he felt as if he was floating, and the surrounding environment was distorted and deformed, as if he had entered another time and space.
After Zhou Jiayu recovered, all the noisy voices around him disappeared, and the bustling temple fair streets were empty, only the snowflakes floating in the sky rustled down on the ground.
The street was very quiet, the doors of the shops were still open, and steam was rising from the stalls selling fried dumplings, but no one was there.
Zhou Jiayu stood on the empty street, looking around at a loss, he felt as if... he had arrived in a not so good place.
"Quick, Zhou Jiayu!!" Ji Ba's voice suddenly sounded, "Hurry up and find a place to hide!!!"
Zhou Jiayu was taken aback and asked, "What's going on?"
Ji Badao: "Don't ask, it's too late, hurry up!! Go into the temple in front of you and hide under the Buddha statue!! Don't raise your head when you hear any noise!"
Ji Ba's voice was high-pitched and anxious, Zhou Jiayu hadn't heard his tone for a long time.After hearing this, he hurried into the temple in front of the temple.As soon as Zhou Jiayu entered, he was taken aback by the Buddha statues in front of him. The Buddha statues in the temple before were all benevolent, but now they all changed.He glared at the person coming, holding a weapon in his hand, his lifelike appearance seemed as if he was about to jump off the top in the next moment.
Under the Buddha statue, there were some compartments made of cloth curtains to prevent offering fruits and tributes. Zhou Jiayu found one at random and hid in it.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Jiayu asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Ji Ba said: "Shhh - don't talk yet, be quiet!"
Zhou Jiayu had no choice but to shut up.
Crash... Crash... Crash... Not long after Zhou Jiayu hid under the curtain, there was a strange sound, like chains being dragged on the ground.The voice came from all directions, and it quickly approached Zhou Jiayu's location.
Zhou Jiayu held his breath and concentrated, and through the gap in the curtain, he vaguely saw the scene outside.They were black shadows floating in mid-air. They were said to be black shadows, but they were more like human beings, except that their feet were suspended in mid-air, and they wore black chains on their ankles.His face was also hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly, so he slowly floated into the temple.
"Did you smell it?" A voice said, and it was unknown which black shadow spoke.
"I smell it." Another black shadow answered, "Why does it smell like a living person, and it's so fragrant..." One of the shadows lowered its head, as if looking for the source of the breath.
This shadow was standing next to the curtain where Zhou Jiayu was hiding. He lowered his head one by one, and Zhou Jiayu could see his face clearly.
That's not a human face at all. Although the facial features are similar to humans, the face is covered with yellow hair, the eyes are narrowed like a fox, the pupils are invisible, and the entire cheek is stiff like a strange face. The mask made Zhou Jiayu feel a layer of hairs on his back after seeing it.
"It seems to be right here, right here." The black figure slowly approached Zhou Jiayu's huddled face, and there was only a thin piece of cloth between his face and Zhou Jiayu.Zhou Jiayu looked at him stretching out his hand, which was also covered with hair, and the nails were sharp and long, "Is it here?" Zhou Jiayu's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard these words , he watched the hand getting closer and closer to him, and was about to lift the curtain in front of him.
However, the moment his fingers touched the curtain, a miserable cry came from his mouth: "It hurts—it hurts—"
A black figure next to him said: "What are you doing with the sacrifice!"
"There's something alive inside." The black shadow said.
"Are you stupid? A living person has to become a dead person here." They whispered without knowing what to say, and after a while, they floated away from the door again.
Only then did Zhou Jiayu heave a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand, and said, "Jiba, what's wrong with me?"
Ji Ba said helplessly: "The old lady seems not to be human, you were slapped by her and your soul was slapped out of your body..."
Zhou Jiayu stared: "Can you still capture Hun'er?"
Ji Ba said: "Yes, if a normal person is photographed with a soul at most, just find someone to help you summon the soul and it will be solved, but isn't your situation special?" When it said this, it unexpectedly He also showed a frowning expression - Zhou Jiayu was a little surprised why a bird could have such a rich expression.
"You are not the soul of this body in the first place." Ji Ba said, "So you are also a little unstable. I guess she didn't expect to be able to slap your entire soul completely..."
Zhou Jiayu: "..." He wanted to smoke a cigarette quietly, "What does she mean by grandson?"
Ji Badao: "Who knows, it feels like you've killed quite a few people too."
Zhou Jiayu had nothing to say.
"What should I do now? Just wait here? Can I find a way back?" Zhou Jiayu felt that he must not just die inexplicably like this. "This is the underworld, what are those dark shadows?"
"I can, you are going to die and there are still so many problems." Ji Ba said, "This is not a formal underworld, but a transitional place. You come out first, and after you come out, pick up some incense ash and rub it on your temples and forehead. Put more on it."
Zhou Jiayu looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he quickly ran out from the curtain, and took out some ashes from the incense burner as Ji Ba said.When he was digging out the ashes, he always felt that the Buddha statue in front of him was staring at him, which made him a little embarrassed, and he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'll just use a little, and I'll give you some incense and paper after I get on it, you won't remember." The villain passed."
I don't know if it was Zhou Jiayu's illusion, but after he said this, the expression on the Buddha statue actually softened a bit.
Zhou Jiayu wiped himself to the blemish, but sighed in his heart, thinking how unlucky it was to encounter such a big New Year's Eve, and wondered if he would be able to escape this catastrophe this time.
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu: I want to prepare delicious food for my husband.
Lin Zhushui: Come here.
Zhou Jiayu: Hmm...? !
Lin Zhushui: It's delicious.
Shen Musi called the people in the house to clean up the whole building, pasted up window grille couplets, and hung up red paper-cut lanterns, adding a bit of excitement to the deserted atmosphere of the whole building.
Zhou Jiayu originally wanted to help, but the other four all said that he only needs to concentrate on cooking, and he doesn't need to do anything else.
Zhou Jiayu lamented in his heart that good cooking skills seem to be quite advantageous no matter where he is.
Several people from Zhou Jiayu went out to buy the necessities for the New Year. They could have been delivered to their homes, but Shen Yiqiong insisted on going out, saying that it would be enough for the New Year.Shen Musi and the others have always been very tolerant of Shen Yiqiong's various demands, and they agreed when they saw that he insisted.
So Shen Yiqiong drove Zhou Jiayu to buy new year's goods.
Zhou Jiayu hadn't reacted when he first got into the car, and when Shen Yiqiong sat in the driver's seat and lit the ignition, he suddenly realized: "Shen Yiqiong, aren't you under eighteen? Have a driver's license?"
Shen Yiqiong said bluntly, "No."
Zhou Jiayu: "Then..."
Shen Yiqiong said, "You have?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "I...haven't either." He did not have a driver's license.
After receiving Zhou Jiayu's answer, Shen Yiqiong stepped on the gas pedal contentedly, and the car rushed out.
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Jiayu was terrified, afraid that a traffic policeman would come out halfway and take Shen Yiqiong away.Now driving without a license has to be detained for more than ten days according to the current law.
However, Shen Yiqiong's driving skills are not bad, and he drives quite steadily. He swears that he can actually drive a long time ago, but he is not old enough to get a driver's license.Zhou Jiayu didn't know what to say.
The place to buy new year's goods is a big market, which can be said to have almost everything that one could expect. Shen Yiqiong seemed to be spending money, buying a lot of useful and useless things, which made Zhou Jiayu dumbfounded.
In the end, when Shen Yiqiong asked to buy bubble water, Zhou Jiayu really couldn't hold back, saying that there is no child at home, why are you buying this?
Shen Yiqiong opened his eyes wide: "Why don't you have any children? Isn't that paper figurine our child?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." Our... our... children?Shen Yiqiong really regarded himself as a godfather.
Shen Yiqiong said: "Preschool education can't be sloppy, take a look, if you accidentally develop the kind of ignorant paper man in Xu Jinghuo's hand, wouldn't you be able to see it carrying a machete every day when you wake up? standing by your bed."
These words caused Zhou Jiayu to recall certain shadowy memories, and he fell silent.
Without Zhou Jiayu's stop, Shen Yiqiong bought more joyfully, filled the entire trunk and back seat of the car, and happily went home.
This was Zhou Jiayu's first time shopping for New Year's goods like this. He thought Shen Musi and the others would talk about Shen Yiqiong when they got home.Unexpectedly, they seemed to be used to it, resigned to their fate and moved the things Shen Yiqiong bought into the house.Shen Yiqiong took his bubble water rattle and a series of gadgets to find the little paper man to play with.
Zhou Jiayu always felt that the harmonious atmosphere between them was a bit weird.
The little paper man always fights with the weasel when he comes here.At the beginning, he had to suffer a little bit, but after he had mastered the skill of fighting, he stuck it on the back of the weasel's head and scratched it frantically.The weasel had short arms and legs and was powerless to resist. Zhou Jiayu watched it twist into a flower and even wondered if he would turn into a human on the spot and grab the paper figurine off the back of his head.
But there is a problem with this, Zhou Jiayu found out that the back of the weasel's head seemed to be bald again by the little paper man... But he didn't dare to tell Xiao Huang about this, but quietly brought the little paper man back The room taught it a bit, let it focus on other parts, but don't turn the weasel into the Mediterranean again, otherwise the weasel will definitely explode on the spot after knowing it.
Chinese New Year really makes people so happy, you can eat what you want, and meet people you want to see.
The day before New Year's Eve, Lin Zhushui sent someone to send the head sheep over, so Zhou Jiayu started the stove and made a mutton hot pot.The mutton is not only fresh, but also of good quality. Zhou Jiayu braised some of it in soy sauce, boiled mutton soup, and cut the mutton slices to make mutton mutton.
Lin Zhushui didn't come over during the meal, Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a moment, and he still put up some food first, and asked Shen Yiqiong to take him over to deliver the food to Lin Zhushui.
Shen Yiqiong said: "Wow, this is the first time I have delivered food to my husband."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Haven't you delivered them before?"
Shen Yiqiong's expression was a bit painful when he heard the words, and he said, "Do you think, if I give the food I made to my husband, will he love me or hate me?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." It makes sense.
Shen Yiqiong said very philosophically: "There are some things, giving them is actually a greater torture to the other party."
Zhou Jiayu recalled the taste of the noodles made by Shen Yiqiong, and felt that the word torture was used quite delicately.
When they arrived at the place where Lin Zhushui lived, Zhou Jiayu knocked on the door.After a while, the door opened, revealing Lin Zhushui's indifferent face: "Huh?"
Zhou Jiayu hurriedly handed over the basket full of food in his hand, and said, "Sir, I finished the mutton you sent, and since you didn't come, I brought some for you."
Lin Zhushui took the basket and nodded: "Go back."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Hmm..." He actually had something to say, but in the end he held it in his throat and couldn't say it.
The mutton feast for dinner was warmly welcomed by everyone.The mutton is tender and fresh, no matter how it is cooked, it tastes very good.Instant-boiled mutton is the most suitable for Zhou Jiayu’s taste. The thin mutton slices will be cooked as soon as they are hot, and then dipped in some sesame sauce, the mouth will be filled with the unique umami taste of mutton. It will not clog the teeth when chewing, and the meat is soft and tender. And elastic.
The meat from one sheep weighed more than 30 catties. They ate from seven o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, and they managed to solve the problem.The weasel also got a share, gnawing on the big bone contentedly beside him, while the little paper man fell asleep in Zhou Jiayu's chest pocket, with his head bit by bit, looking very cute.
Zhou Jiayu's whole body was warm, and his cheeks turned crimson. He drank some wine, got a little tipsy, and smiled silly.He feels that his current life is pretty good, he is very satisfied, and seems to have no other extravagant wishes.
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Jiayu made dumplings, and Lin Zhushui came over to have dinner with them at night. The TV in the living room was on, playing the lively Spring Festival Gala program.
Zhou Jiayu was holding a weasel in his arms, and Lin Zhushui was sitting beside him. He smelled a scent similar to sandalwood, which was very faint, and Zhou Jiayu knew it was coming from Lin Zhushui.This smell made Zhou Jiayu feel extra at ease, and even involuntarily wanted to get closer to Lin Zhushui.
"Let's go out and set off firecrackers!" Shen Yiqiong suggested, "I also bought a lot of fireworks."
"Let's go," Shen Erbai was the first to stand up.
So the group walked out, with Zhou Jiayu and Lin Zhushui walking last.There were snowflakes in the sky, and it felt cool when it fell on the skin. The surroundings were filled with voices and laughter, and it was extremely lively.
"There is a temple fair in the third year of junior high school." Lin Zhushui who was standing beside Zhou Jiayu said suddenly, "Let's go together."
At first, Zhou Jiayu thought he had heard it wrong, and he paused for a few seconds before realizing it. He couldn't help being excited: "Okay!"
Lin Zhushui nodded.
"Wow, this is the first time my husband asked me out." Zhou Jiayu was so happy that he couldn't show it, so he could only say to Jiba in his head, "Oh my god, I'm so happy!"
Ji Ba said: "Congratulations!"
Zhou Jiayu was very happy.
The sound of crackling firecrackers drove away the Nian beast, and the fireworks blooming in the night sky prayed for a happy new year.
The first day of the lunar new year is the day of sacrifice.
In the morning, people from the Lin family came over early, and Lin Po was naturally among them. Zhou Jiayu didn't know until after breakfast that they had to go to the mountain to worship their ancestors this morning.
Lin Zhushui seemed not very interested, and his expression was very indifferent along the way.
The Lin family's cemetery is private, and all the people buried in it are members of the Lin family.Both the environment and Feng Shui of the cemetery are excellent. As soon as Zhou Jiayu entered, he saw a trace of auspiciousness in the cemetery.Although this auspicious energy is weak, it is not a common phenomenon to appear in the cemetery.
After Lin Zhushui burned incense, he stood beside him and asked the remaining disciples to kowtow to their ancestors one by one.
Zhou Jiayu was standing in the back, not knowing what to do. Up to now, Lin Zhushui hadn't clarified the identity of his apprentice. He didn't know which way of worship was more suitable for him... Just thinking about this, Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand and patted him gently. Patting his shoulder, raised his chin slightly, and said to Zhou Jiayu, "Go, kowtow to Master."
Zhou Jiayu hurriedly said hello, took the incense from Lin Po, and respectfully stepped forward to kowtow a few times.Standing by the side, Lin Po looked at Zhou Jiayu with complicated eyes, and Zhou Jiayu couldn't tell what it was like, but he could clearly see the suppressed jealousy inside...
Well, being jealous by the head of the Lin family is a skill, Zhou Jiayu comforted herself.
The Lin family is a master of Fengshui, but the method of offering sacrifices is extremely simple. It is nothing more than offering a few sticks of incense to the descendants and placing some sacrifices.There are more than 200 people in Lin Linzong, a collateral branch of the Lin family, and it was done in one morning.
Lunch has been prepared at the cemetery, and it looks quite elegant, and Zhou Jiayu can't even eat the raw materials for some dishes.
But no matter how exquisite the outside dishes are, Lin Zhushui doesn't give much face. This time Zhou Jiayu paid a little attention, and found that he only moved his chopsticks, and only picked up an asparagus in front of him— —It seems to be perfunctory and I am too lazy to be perfunctory.
Lin Po's attitude was also a little different from before. He seemed to know that Lin Zhushui was in a bad mood, so he was very careful when he spoke.Lin Zhushui answered indifferently, with a frighteningly indifferent expression.
Shen Yiqiong was uncharacteristically quiet today, he didn't dare to chat at the dinner table, and buried his head in the bowl while eating.
It was only in the afternoon that Zhou Jiayu understood the reason for these abnormalities.
They left the cemetery early, but Lin Zhushui didn't get in the car.
"Where's sir?" Zhou Jiayu asked in a low voice.
Shen Yiqiong made a silent gesture, and when the car drove out of the cemetery, he said, "Sir, I went to see my master and grandma."
Zhou Jiayu was stunned for a moment: "They all..."
Shen Yiqiong nodded.
On the way back, Shen Yiqiong intermittently talked about Lin Zhushui's parents.It is said that the two are well-matched, they are both masters of Fengshui, they fell in love at first sight when they first met, and they got married.
After Lin Zhushui was born, the relationship between the two was sublimated even more. This kind of beautiful life lasted until Lin Zhushui's body of the most yang gradually appeared.In the Feng Shui industry, the most feared thing is the private things, so the most yang body usually has extremely high attainments in this industry.Although this kind of physique will disturb the compass, as long as you learn the method of flying stars in the nine palaces, you can get rid of the limitation of the compass by pinching with your fingers.But this kind of physique has a great flaw, which is short lifespan.
Shen Yiqiong said: "At that time, it was widely rumored in the industry that the ancestors of the Lin family had made a fortune-telling for Mr., saying that he would not live to be eighteen. Everyone believed it, but they didn't know what Mr.'s parents had done. The heavens changed fate, let the husband survive the hurdle of eighteen."
Zhou Jiayu felt a little sad when he heard that.
Shen Yiqiong sighed, and there was a rare taste of sadness between his brows: "But changing one's fate against the sky is against the law of heaven. Year-old sir..."
Eight years old, even a genius like Lin Zhushui is just a young boy.Sudden loss of parents must be a deep blow.
"This matter seems to have something to do with the Lin family." Shen Yiqiong said, "So Mr. moved out of the Lin residence not long after and set up his own family."
Zhou Jiayu had always thought that the relationship between Lin Zhushui and Lin Po was a little weird, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing in it.
"So every year after worshiping the ancestors, Mr. is not in a good mood." Shen Yiqiong huddled in his seat, listless.
Zhou Jiayu felt that he really couldn't help, and felt a little disappointed, and said, "I'll make more dishes that my husband likes when I go back tonight."
That night Zhou Jiayu put in some effort to cook a table full of dishes, waiting for Lin Zhushui to come back.
Seeing his anxiety, Shen Musi said kindly: "Don't worry, sir will definitely come back, but the time will be later, let's wait."
Zhou Jiayu thanked him a little embarrassedly.
"Mr. is in a bad mood on this day every year." Shen Erbai comforted, "We don't know how to persuade you, it's good that you can cook this meal, don't think too much."
The remaining two nodded in agreement.
They were right. Lin Zhushui didn't arrive home until around eight o'clock in the evening.Hearing the sound of a car at the door, Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong ran outside, followed by a weasel and the little paper man who insisted on riding on the weasel's back.
Looking at their backs, Shen Musi smiled and said, "Zhou Jiayu is here, the room is a bit more popular."
Shen Chaosan usually listened to silence, but after hearing Shen Musi's words, he said meaningfully: "Only the house?"
Their eyes met, and they both saw what they wanted to say in each other's eyes.
"It should be a good thing." Shen Musi whispered to herself.
After a few minutes, Lin Zhushui sat down at the dining table, and they started eating.Compared with noon, his appetite was obviously much better, and he even added two extra meals.
The other five people in the room were very happy to see it.
Lin Zhushui is a powerful person, and because of this, when he encounters some things, others have no way to comfort him.It was as if speaking words of mercy was an insult to him.
Fortunately, now there is an extra Zhou Jiayu.
The food was very rich, and after eating it in the stomach, people also warmed up. Shen Yiqiong talked about the temple fair in the third year of junior high school, and said that it must be very lively.
Zhou Jiayu responded to his words and expressed his expectation.
The room gradually became lively again, and the little paper figurine somehow pissed off the weasel again, and was grabbed and stomped by the weasel. Fortunately, the paper figurine was made of a special material, and it was difficult to destroy it simply by physical effects.But after being bullied, it would crawl onto Zhou Jiayu's arm aggrieved, begging for comfort.
Zhou Jiayu touched its head.
After eating, before leaving, Lin Zhushui thanked Zhou Jiayu.
Zhou Jiayu was flattered, and waved his hands and said, sir, you are too polite, if it weren't for you, I would be now... He quickly stopped talking at this point, because he found that he almost confused his identity again.
Lin Zhushui raised the corners of his mouth, and said lightly, "If it wasn't for me, you would still be eating hot and spicy food."
Zhou Jiayu: "..."
Shen Yiqiong said from the side: "Yes, yes, Zhou Jiayu, you don't know how rich you are, my god, you have five or six seaside villas, but they are gone now, and all compensation will be given to the victim." people."
Zhou Jiayu felt like he had nothing else to say besides thank you...
Just like children look forward to festivals, Zhou Jiayu also looks forward to temple fairs.On the third day of junior high school, he got up early, put the steamed buns prepared last night into the steamer, and had breakfast with a few people.
The location of the temple fair was at the east end of the city. Before getting out of the car, Zhou Jiayu heard the noisy voices of people.
Several people got out of the car and followed the crowd to the street where the temple fair was.
Although there were people everywhere, Lin Zhushui was still very eye-catching. He was wearing a black half-length windbreaker, revealing the light gray v-neck sweater inside.The clothes are not tightly covered, and you can even vaguely see the beautiful collarbone, the slender neck with beautiful lines, and the slightly protruding Adam's apple in the middle of the neck. These parts exude an extremely eye-catching temperament.Lin Zhushui's closed eyes made his indifferent temperament even stronger, but in this indifference, there was another special flavor. It was difficult for Zhou Jiayu to describe that feeling, but he noticed that standing Many girls around Lin Zhushui cast their gazes on him as if they were there.
Zhou Jiayu just glanced at it and inexplicably felt a little hot on his cheeks, and looked away uncomfortably.
"It's so lively." Shen Yiqiong likes to be lively, and he was very happy along the way, "Wow, I want to eat candied haws, do you want it?"
Others expressed contempt for him one after another, saying that it was something children eat.
"I don't care, I don't care, you have to eat with me!" Shen Yiqiong began to play tricks, "Isn't coming to the temple fair just to play games and eat snacks? Zhou Jiayu, come and buy with me."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Zhou Jiayu a chance to refuse, and dragged him away abruptly.
There are many kinds of candied haws here, including hawthorn, strawberry and grape kiwi. Shen Yiqiong picked out five bunches and beckoned Zhou Jiayu to go.
Zhou Jiayu said, "Aren't you going to buy it for sir?"
Shen Yiqiong was startled: "I really want to buy it, so you can give it to your husband?"
Zhou Jiayu thought about it and agreed.
When Shen Yiqiong paid the money, he sighed that Zhou Jiayu was getting more and more courageous, where did the little hamster that trembled when he saw Mr.
Zhou Jiayu said, "So don't call me Guan Er from now on..."
Shen Yiqiong laughed, and then rejected Zhou Jiayu's request.
When the other three saw Zhou Jiayu handing the candied haws made of strawberries to Lin Zhushui, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.But when they saw that Lin Zhushui actually took the candied haws, their jaws almost dropped.
"It's strawberry." Zhou Jiayu also explained, "We chose the very plump one, you can taste it, if you don't like it, just give it to me."
Lin Zhushui nodded, opened his mouth and took a bite.The strawberry was sucked into the mouth, making the cheeks slightly puffed up, adding a touch of cuteness to Lin Zhushui inexplicably.
Of course, Zhou Jiayu only dared to think about Lin Zhushui's cuteness.
"Not bad." After swallowing the strawberry, Lin Zhushui commented, "It's a bit too sweet."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Then do you still eat?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Eat."
So several people watched Lin Zhushui eat a whole candied haws with their own eyes.This scene was probably too strange, Shen Yiqiong didn't slow down for a long time.
There are huge crowds of people everywhere in the temple fair, those who sell things, those who buy things, those who perform programs, and those who watch programs, it is extremely lively in a mess.
Zhou Jiayu saw a fortune teller inside and pointed it out to them.
Seeing that the man was holding a flag in his hand, Shen Musi was amused, and said on the flag: "The iron mouth is straight and broken, with four big characters."
Shen Erbai guessed casually: "Judging from this person's face, it's likely to be a mess."
Zhou Jiayu was ignorant of what he heard, and Shen Yiqiong explained to him next to him: "Xuan and Jian are both Jianghu dialects. As the saying goes, Xun is a trick used by liars to deceive people. Jianer means that he has dry goods. At least read books on the subject."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Oh!"
"This charlatan is the enemy of our profession." Shen Yiqiong stood beside Zhou Jiayu without moving, but Shen Erbai went over there, "It's okay if it's a bit dry, but if it's really just Relying on quack tricks to deceive people, we have to break this flag for him."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Because they cheated?"
Shen Yiqiong said: "Because they ruined the name of Fengshui Guaxian." In their business, the most annoying thing is liars, because those people use the banner of Fengshui masters, but they do deceitful deeds.They have worked hard to learn art for 20 years, but they are called liars because of the nasty things these people did. No one can accept this.
Shen Erbai had already arrived at the man's table, he sat down directly, and said, "Master, do the math for me."
The fortune teller said, "What do you want to calculate?"
Shen Erbai said: "Let's count it as my mother's business."
The fortune teller said, "I'll take a look with your left hand."
Shen Erbai stretched out his hand, and after careful observation by the fortune teller, he sighed and said, "Your mother must have been ill for a while."
Shen Erbai said: "How do you know?"
The fortune teller sighed: "Look at your eyebrows are black, your Yintang has white lines in your nose, and your hair is withered and yellow... This is a sign of my mother's serious illness."
Zhou Jiayu and the others stood not far away listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Mu said in all directions: "It's fishy, sir, what should I do?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "Let someone find out and deal with it. Let him go today."
In just a few words, they seemed to have determined the identity of the person in front of them as a liar.
Zhou Jiayu thought it was because the person was inaccurate, but Shen Yiqiong explained: "If your mother is fine, would the first question you ask when you go to fortune-telling be to ask her how she is?"
This is true, fortune-telling and divination usually ask about things that are on your mind. If you can ask how your mother is, and then calculate based on the age of the person who asks the divination, 80.00% of them are related to illness.
"What if the calculation is wrong?" Zhou Jiayu felt that this matter was not entirely reliable.
Shen Mu said: "If you make a mistake, it's a mistake, as long as you don't charge money, it's not a big deal."
Zhou Jiayu was thoughtful.
After Shen Erbai came back, he was very dissatisfied with the fortune-teller, saying that the craftsmanship of these Jianghu people was getting rougher and rougher. I think back when these Jianghu people were not in decline, the handbags of gold and the craftsmanship of the overturning seal were so impressive. Tongue praise, but now must rely on blindness.
Zhou Jiayu's mind was full of questions, but he was embarrassed to be a hundred thousand why, so he thought he'd better go back and look through the book by himself.
At the end of the temple fair is a large temple enshrining Buddhist beads.Looking at the people coming and going during the period, it can be seen that this temple must be full of incense.
Lin Zhushui asked them to buy some joss sticks and money paper, and went in to worship before coming out.
It was noon at this moment, and there were more and more people around. Zhou Jiayu was walking in the crowd when he suddenly heard someone shout his name loudly.
Zhou Jiayu looked back into the crowd, but couldn't find anyone calling his name, but when he turned his head, he found that Lin Zhushui and the others had been pushed further away by the crowd.
Zhou Jiayu hurried over, but someone pulled his foot. He lowered his head and saw an old lady sitting on the ground, wailing: "It hurts, it hurts..."
Seeing that there were so many people around and the old lady was still sitting like this, Zhou Jiayu was afraid that she would be trampled on, so she lowered her head and said, "Old lady, are you okay?"
"Help me up, it hurts so much." The old lady was wearing a flowered gown with a white flower on her head. Although she was dressed a little strangely, she didn't have any strange aura on her body.Besides, there were so many people around at this time, there shouldn't be any problems, Zhou Jiayu thought so, and with a strong hand, he helped the old lady up.
"Old lady, where is your family? Did you hurt your foot?" Zhou Jiayu asked the old lady about her injury.
The old lady didn't speak, and looked at him with squinted eyes. Zhou Jiayu was very uncomfortable being stared at by her eyes, and was about to take a step back, but she saw her stretch out her hand very quickly, and slapped him hard on the back ——Her voice sounded next to Zhou Jiayu's ear, and she said, "Give me back my grandson's life—"
Zhou Jiayu's whole body shook violently, he felt as if he was floating, and the surrounding environment was distorted and deformed, as if he had entered another time and space.
After Zhou Jiayu recovered, all the noisy voices around him disappeared, and the bustling temple fair streets were empty, only the snowflakes floating in the sky rustled down on the ground.
The street was very quiet, the doors of the shops were still open, and steam was rising from the stalls selling fried dumplings, but no one was there.
Zhou Jiayu stood on the empty street, looking around at a loss, he felt as if... he had arrived in a not so good place.
"Quick, Zhou Jiayu!!" Ji Ba's voice suddenly sounded, "Hurry up and find a place to hide!!!"
Zhou Jiayu was taken aback and asked, "What's going on?"
Ji Badao: "Don't ask, it's too late, hurry up!! Go into the temple in front of you and hide under the Buddha statue!! Don't raise your head when you hear any noise!"
Ji Ba's voice was high-pitched and anxious, Zhou Jiayu hadn't heard his tone for a long time.After hearing this, he hurried into the temple in front of the temple.As soon as Zhou Jiayu entered, he was taken aback by the Buddha statues in front of him. The Buddha statues in the temple before were all benevolent, but now they all changed.He glared at the person coming, holding a weapon in his hand, his lifelike appearance seemed as if he was about to jump off the top in the next moment.
Under the Buddha statue, there were some compartments made of cloth curtains to prevent offering fruits and tributes. Zhou Jiayu found one at random and hid in it.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Jiayu asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Ji Ba said: "Shhh - don't talk yet, be quiet!"
Zhou Jiayu had no choice but to shut up.
Crash... Crash... Crash... Not long after Zhou Jiayu hid under the curtain, there was a strange sound, like chains being dragged on the ground.The voice came from all directions, and it quickly approached Zhou Jiayu's location.
Zhou Jiayu held his breath and concentrated, and through the gap in the curtain, he vaguely saw the scene outside.They were black shadows floating in mid-air. They were said to be black shadows, but they were more like human beings, except that their feet were suspended in mid-air, and they wore black chains on their ankles.His face was also hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly, so he slowly floated into the temple.
"Did you smell it?" A voice said, and it was unknown which black shadow spoke.
"I smell it." Another black shadow answered, "Why does it smell like a living person, and it's so fragrant..." One of the shadows lowered its head, as if looking for the source of the breath.
This shadow was standing next to the curtain where Zhou Jiayu was hiding. He lowered his head one by one, and Zhou Jiayu could see his face clearly.
That's not a human face at all. Although the facial features are similar to humans, the face is covered with yellow hair, the eyes are narrowed like a fox, the pupils are invisible, and the entire cheek is stiff like a strange face. The mask made Zhou Jiayu feel a layer of hairs on his back after seeing it.
"It seems to be right here, right here." The black figure slowly approached Zhou Jiayu's huddled face, and there was only a thin piece of cloth between his face and Zhou Jiayu.Zhou Jiayu looked at him stretching out his hand, which was also covered with hair, and the nails were sharp and long, "Is it here?" Zhou Jiayu's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard these words , he watched the hand getting closer and closer to him, and was about to lift the curtain in front of him.
However, the moment his fingers touched the curtain, a miserable cry came from his mouth: "It hurts—it hurts—"
A black figure next to him said: "What are you doing with the sacrifice!"
"There's something alive inside." The black shadow said.
"Are you stupid? A living person has to become a dead person here." They whispered without knowing what to say, and after a while, they floated away from the door again.
Only then did Zhou Jiayu heave a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand, and said, "Jiba, what's wrong with me?"
Ji Ba said helplessly: "The old lady seems not to be human, you were slapped by her and your soul was slapped out of your body..."
Zhou Jiayu stared: "Can you still capture Hun'er?"
Ji Ba said: "Yes, if a normal person is photographed with a soul at most, just find someone to help you summon the soul and it will be solved, but isn't your situation special?" When it said this, it unexpectedly He also showed a frowning expression - Zhou Jiayu was a little surprised why a bird could have such a rich expression.
"You are not the soul of this body in the first place." Ji Ba said, "So you are also a little unstable. I guess she didn't expect to be able to slap your entire soul completely..."
Zhou Jiayu: "..." He wanted to smoke a cigarette quietly, "What does she mean by grandson?"
Ji Badao: "Who knows, it feels like you've killed quite a few people too."
Zhou Jiayu had nothing to say.
"What should I do now? Just wait here? Can I find a way back?" Zhou Jiayu felt that he must not just die inexplicably like this. "This is the underworld, what are those dark shadows?"
"I can, you are going to die and there are still so many problems." Ji Ba said, "This is not a formal underworld, but a transitional place. You come out first, and after you come out, pick up some incense ash and rub it on your temples and forehead. Put more on it."
Zhou Jiayu looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he quickly ran out from the curtain, and took out some ashes from the incense burner as Ji Ba said.When he was digging out the ashes, he always felt that the Buddha statue in front of him was staring at him, which made him a little embarrassed, and he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'll just use a little, and I'll give you some incense and paper after I get on it, you won't remember." The villain passed."
I don't know if it was Zhou Jiayu's illusion, but after he said this, the expression on the Buddha statue actually softened a bit.
Zhou Jiayu wiped himself to the blemish, but sighed in his heart, thinking how unlucky it was to encounter such a big New Year's Eve, and wondered if he would be able to escape this catastrophe this time.
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu: I want to prepare delicious food for my husband.
Lin Zhushui: Come here.
Zhou Jiayu: Hmm...? !
Lin Zhushui: It's delicious.
