Han Zhu brought a bowl of black fish soup to Liu Da's bed: "Junior brother, do you want another bowl of soup?"

After eating the bowl of fish soup at noon, the pain in Liu Da's body was greatly relieved, and he fell asleep in the afternoon. He took the soup and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for worrying about me."

Han Zhu looked at him tenderly: "I will treat you well when you come back."

Liu Da didn't dare to look directly into Han Zhu's eyes, feeling that there was a chill hidden in it. He lowered his head and took a sip of the fish soup. After a while, his lips and tongue became slightly numb. As soon as he frowned, Han Zhu said, "Drink slowly, The soup is still hot."

It turned out that the mouth was numb because of the heat, Liu Da blew it, drank the whole bowl of soup, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

There was only one candle lit in the room, and Han Zhu was sitting by the bed, the candle flame flickered from time to time, reflecting her and Liu Da's faces.

Han Zhu stretched out his hand, and gently brushed Liu Da's eyebrows and nose with his fingertips, with a smile on his lips.

Liu Er was about to enter the house, just as he walked to the door, he saw the scene inside the house, he paused, feeling sore in his heart, then he saw the senior sister lower her head, leaning into brother's ear, whispering.

Liu Er turned around and left without listening carefully to what she said.

Han Zhu said softly, "You and her are really a match made in heaven."

"The same frivolity and indifference." Her voice became lower and lower, and her words became more and more gentle, like the most lingering whispers between lovers.

The corner of her mouth smiled ironically, she didn't know if she was laughing at Liu Da or herself: "It's the same, you have eyes but no eyes."

Han Zhu quickly withdrew her smile, her originally face was dull, but it was brightened by that smile, once she withdrew it, it faded again.

He pulled out the envelope that Liu Da was pressing under the pillow, took out the contents, replaced it with a ball of yellow paper, and stuffed it back under Liu Da's pillow.

With a "huh" he blew out the candle and walked out of the house.

Liu Er prepared things for Master to burn for a hundred days in the main room, and Bai Zhun agreed to do the paper flowers and paper boats, and they had to fold the tin foil ingots by themselves.

These days he was busy with Liu Da's affairs, while Han Zhu sat in the main room, folding ingots for his father day and night.

She ordered an extra oil lamp and put it on the table, and said to Liu Er with a smile, "It's too dark, it's not good for your eyes."

She sat down and folded the ingots one by one. Her hands were very fast, and she folded one in a few strokes and threw it into the basket. When it was time to burn for a hundred days, she brought these to Father's grave and burned them for him. Let him not lack money to spend in the underworld.

"Xiao Liu, when the hundred days burn, I want to call off the marriage in front of my father's grave."

Liu Eryi was stunned, the ingot in his hand fell to the ground, he stammered: "Senior sister, you don't want to marry my brother?"

Han Zhu smiled: "It's your brother who doesn't want to marry me."

Liu Er hurriedly distinguished Liu Da: "No, my brother was deceived by lard! He, how could he not want to marry you right now?"

The golden dangui is dead!

Liu Er couldn't figure it out anyway, the senior sister is the best woman in the world, they were just adopted by the master, the two of them were so hungry, the senior sister stewed rotten noodles for them to eat, he ate three bowls in a row, almost Just break the belly.

It was the best thing in the world he had ever eaten.

Being able to marry a senior sister as his wife, he didn't even dare to dream about it, but his brother didn't want it!

"Even if there is no golden osmanthus, there will still be silver osmanthus." Han Zhu's face was indifferent, no sadness or joy could be seen, and the light made her shadow slender.

Liu Er didn't dare to look at Han Zhu, but only dared to look at her shadow, so they wouldn't be a family in the future?

Seeing his dazed look, Han Zhu smiled, imagining patting his forehead as he did when he was a child, stretched out his hand and saw that his hands were covered with gold powder, and patted his cheek with the back of his hand: "We will always be a family."

Liu Er blushed.

Liu Da fell into a drowsy sleep, and heard the sound of "gululu" coming from his ear, as if something fell on the ground and rolled until it reached his ear.

Liu Da opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on the western spring bed, and the sound of music came from the room.

"Are you awake?" Jin Dangui smiled and handed the crystal wine glass to him.

Liu Da smelled the French perfume on her body again, he was a little puzzled, as if he had forgotten something, he had already taken the cup: "What place is this?"

Jin Dangui patted him lightly: "This is the Liu mansion. We left Shanghai with money and bought this garden house."

Liu mansion, by the way, they finally left Shanghai, bought a house, hired the driver, Mrs. Liu, and now he is Master Liu, Boss Liu.

Jin Dangui leaned against him, still pink, glossy and full of charm.

In a trance, Liu Da seemed to really put aside all troubles and get the life he always wanted.

In high spirits, he grabbed Jin Dangui's waist, and when the two became inseparable, Jin Dangui wrapped his arms around his neck: "We will live and die together, do you agree?"

Liu Da was like a dream, he responded with a sound, but felt unsteady in his heart.

As if someone died?Who is dead?

The beauty in her arms is alive and well, by the way, that Huo also said that her face was cut out, how could such a beautiful face be fake?

When I think of Huo Zhenye, I think of Bai Zhun.

There was a faint doubt in my heart, the smell of this French perfume was not right, after the fragrance was over, it became rancid and unpleasant.

"You're dead!" Liu Da blurted out.

The western spring bed was gone, and there was no light or music in the room. Jin Dangui's hand on his neck was wet and cold.

The face that fascinated him was right in front of him.

The two bloody holes in the face were filled with a pair of new eyeballs, but the pair of eyeballs were not original, and would fall out from time to time when they were pressed into the eye sockets.

As soon as it fell off, Jin Dangui used his fingers to stuff the eyeballs back.

Liu Da came back to his senses in fear and screamed, Jin Dangui lowered his face: "What? I specially found this pair of eyeballs for you, and they were exchanged for earrings."

Su Manli took her earrings, so she will exchange them with her eyes. Fortunately, when she went, the eyeballs were still fresh.

Liu Da wanted to escape, but his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move. In his panic, he finally remembered that there was a life-saving talisman given by Bai Zhun under his pillow.

She took it out and threw it at Jin Dangui, but Jin Dangui was not afraid at all, she caught it with one hand and shook the paper away.

The eyes couldn't move freely in the eye sockets, so she stretched out her fingers to turn the disobedient eyes, and then saw the words "Chenghuang Tongguanlulu" written on it.

Liu Da, nineteen years old, had no funeral objects.

Jin Dangui laughed, she rubbed her fingertips, and the blue ghost fire ignited this road and burned it to the city god.

Liu Da shrank back: "I won't go with you, I can't go, I still want to carry forward the ancient Caimen, my master... my master..."

Jin Dangui propped his eye sockets with his ten fingers, looked at him from the sidelines, grinned, and the eyeballs dripped out of the eye sockets and onto his nose: "You can't help it."

She stuffed it back, using her ten fingers as claws, and grabbed Liu Dayou's neck: "I'm too lonely by myself, and only you treat me well. Aren't we going to be husband and wife?"

Liu Da kicked around and saw his younger brother and senior sister folding tin foil ingots in the opposite room through the window, but no matter how he moved, they couldn't hear him.

The moon was covered by thick clouds, and there was no light outside the house.

Jin Dangui pinched Liu's big eyes so hard that his canthus was about to burst, and when there was only a trace of breath left in his chest, there was a sound of iron locks coming from the thick darkness.

Jin Dangui withdrew her hand, turned her head to look out the window in panic, one eyeball fell out again and rolled on Liu Da's body, she didn't bother to pick it up.

She turned around and wanted to escape in a hurry, but Bai Zhun's shackles were still locked on her feet, so she could only turn her body joint by joint, crawling with her hands on the ground, and lost her other eye in a hurry.

She reached under the bed, folded herself up and stuffed herself inside.

An iron chain flew in from the window, locked Jin Dangui's neck, and dragged her out of the house.

Liu Da saw a black figure wearing a pointed hat standing outside the window. The frosty moonlight cast on the pointed hat, illuminating the words "World Peace".

"Heiwu... impermanence."

Liu Da rolled his eyes and passed out. He rolled off the bed and hit his head on the foot of the bed with a loud bang.

The sound spread to the main room, Liu Er heard that he rushed over, and when he opened the door, he saw his brother rolling on the ground: "Brother! What's wrong with you, brother?"

Han Zhu came in with an oil lamp in his hand, saw Liu Da lying on the ground, and asked first, "What's wrong?"

Liu Er turned Liu Da over, and saw two ghost paw prints on Liu Da's neck, with distinct knuckles and scratch marks on the ground, extending from the bottom of the bed to the window sill.

Han Zhu stared at the palm print, seeming to be frightened, Liu Er grabbed his brother's hand and woke Liu Da up.

"Brother, how are you?"

Liu Da was still scratching in a daze, his throat whimpered, and he was already speechless.

Those two hands were as soft and boneless as snakes, wrapping coldly around his neck, as if they hadn't let go yet.

He stretched out his hand and made a seven to his younger brother. Liu Er was stunned: "Brother, what does this mean?"

"You want to see Lord Qi?" Han Zhu expressed his thoughts, "It's so late, let's go to Lord Qi during the day."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pat Liu Da's back, and the touch of her soft palm reminded Liu Da of the situation just now. He trembled all over and instinctively avoided it.

Han Zhu was not angry either: "Junior brother, don't be afraid, we will go to find Master Qi tomorrow morning."

Liu Da lay on the bed, he pulled his younger brother's arm, and only then regretted it, sobbing, but no one understood what he said.

Zhi Wuchang took Jin Dangui away and returned to Bai Zhun's altar, but the chain on her hand was gone, and Jin Dangui had gone where she should go.

Huo Zhenye looked up, and he could see the eaves of the main hall of the Town God's Temple from this patio.

Bai Zhun lit the incense again, and respectfully sent the priest away.

When this incense is touched, Wuchang's aura dissipates, and he turns back into a paper figurine. Bai Zhun takes out the black cloth and covers Wuchang's eyes.

"What will happen if you don't cover it?" Huo Zhenye asked.

Bai Zhun didn't answer him, and showed his lazy face again, this time it was too exhausting.

Huo Zhenye just watched it like this, and after Bai Zhun finished all this, he asked, "Is this the end of the matter?"

"if not?"

"What about the murderer who killed Jin Dangui?"

"I don't care about it." Bai Zhun asked to move Wuchang, and put all his energy into getting rid of eight points. As soon as Zhi Wuchang came back, his strength disappeared, he talked lazily, and was about to fall asleep as soon as his eyelids drooped.

Huo Zhenye saw that Bai Zhunxue's white face turned a little paler, and he walked forward.

Bai Zhun thought he was going to say something, but Huo Zhenye bent down and picked him up, and even hugged him.

Bai Zhun didn't expect him to be so bold. As soon as his anger arose, the paper figurines in the room began to "squeak". Huo Zhenye heard the sound and whispered in his ear, "I'll send you to sleep."

As he spoke, he went to the inner room and put Bai Zhun on the bed.

Huo Zhenye had a strong back, and he supported Bai Zhun with his arms, which was naturally more comfortable than a paper servant carrying him.

Bai Zhun suddenly remembered something, and his anger gradually calmed down. A long time ago, this person was like this. At that time, he himself was only as high as the edge of the table, and he was going to be a hero.

From the front of the hall to the back room, there were only a few short steps, and Huo Zhenye walked extremely steadily. From his perspective, Bai Zhun's face was lowered, and only the tip of his nose and pale lips could be seen.

How can a person be so light.

Huo Zhenye covered Bai Zhun with the quilt, sat down on the side of the bed carelessly, and asked Bai Zhun, "Why are you so light?"

Huo Qishao was thrown out of the Bai family for the second time.

The author has something to say: Bai: I heard that some people questioned my craftsmanship

Huo: I didn't expect the second time to come so soon
