Xianjun town house

Chapter 26 The Eaves Boy

When the four of Han Feng came to the front of the house, the door of the house was open, and they could see the inside clearly, no one was there.There was a small door on the right side of the room, and the sound of cooking came from inside, the tiles above were also emitting billowing white smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of food.Han Feng thought, it seems that the person they are looking for is cooking dinner.Turning his head and telling A'Du three to wait here for a while, Han Feng raised his foot and walked towards the small gate. There was a high threshold in front of the small gate. He looked at the threshold, but did not step in.

The door is open, and you can see the inside clearly without entering the door.Not far from the door is a large stove, three fire pits, and a large stove with three large pots built together.Standing next to the first pot in Dazao was a girl in short sleeves and shorts who looked to be in her early twenties.Han Feng was standing at the door, facing the big stove, the girl looked up and saw Han Feng, and asked strangely, "Who are you looking for?"

Han Feng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "We are friends of Mr. Bai, and he wants us to persuade you."

"My name is Bai Yan." Bai Yan waved the spatula to stir-fry vegetables, and put them into a bowl after frying.Putting the vegetable bowl on the stove, Bai Yan walked to the big stove, and used tongs to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot.Bai Yan shook the fired firewood, extinguished the flame on the firewood, then threw them on the ground, and threw them separately so as not to get together and burn again.

"Hello, my name is Han Feng." Han Feng smiled and introduced politely.Han Feng saw Bai Yan doing these things proficiently outside the door, and understood that she must do these things often, she is a self-reliant girl.

After turning off the fire, Bai Yan walked to the big stove, picked up the vegetable bowl on the stove, and walked towards the door.Seeing Bai Yan approaching, Han Feng quickly retreated to the courtyard, not obstructing Bai Yan's way.Seeing three people standing in the yard, Bai Yan didn't pay much attention, and went straight to the main room.There is a table in the main room, a small square table, with three dishes on the table, which is Bai Yan's dinner today.

Putting the vegetable bowl in her hand on the table, Bai Yan walked to the big square table next to her. On the table was a rice cooker and many messy things.Bai Yan took a bowl of rice for herself, then walked to the small table and sat down, and said, "Come in and sit, aren't you tired from standing?"

Han Feng nodded politely and entered the main room. There were not enough chairs in the room, so Bai Yan didn't care.How do four people divide two chairs?It's very simple, Bai Lin pushed Gu Bai on the chair and sat down, and stood aside by himself.Han Feng looked at A'Du, seeing that A'Du didn't intend to sit down, so he had to sit down by himself.The chairs of Bai Yan's family are different from the ones Han Feng and the others usually sit on. The chairs of Bai Yan's family are made of wood, with four legs and a backrest.

Bai Yan didn't ask if Han Feng and the four had eaten, and said while eating, "Why did he ask you to persuade me? What a big deal, such a group of people."

Han Feng smiled apologetically, "Sorry, we came here without permission. Mr. Bai wants us to persuade you not to be superstitious."

Sneering, Bai Yan mocked, "How do you want to persuade me?"

Looking up at Bai Yan's back, Han Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not easy for outsiders to intervene in the affairs between your father and daughter. I will take over this business. I want to see the real face of the guardian angel of the house, the eaves boy. I thought he would hide, but unexpectedly, he was there from the very beginning."

That's right, it's been there from the very beginning. As soon as Han Feng stepped on the ground of the yard, he saw the person standing on the eaves.He looked very young, in his twenties, with a fair face and a handsome appearance. He was dressed in a white robe and was full of righteousness.As soon as he saw him, Han Feng knew that he was the eaves boy.

After listening to Han Feng's words, Bai Yan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, she followed Han Feng's line of sight to look back, but saw nothing.

Han Feng looked at Bai Yan and smiled faintly, "The eaves boy guards the house, without the owner's invitation, he will be expelled if he enters without permission."

Bai Yan looked at Han Feng in shock, so they waited for her to come in before they came in?Bai Yan put down the bowl, looked directly at Han Feng excitedly, "Can you see it?"

"Whether you can see it or not, he's always been there." Han Feng stared at Bai Yan and said, "The eave boy can stop ordinary ghosts from entering the house, but can't stop human beings. But it's just blocking, his ability is not strong enough to destroy those things , the most he can do is drive them away. The eaves boy is not as magical as you imagine, he is very weak, and the only scope he can protect is this house."

"So what!" Bai Yan stood up and yelled at Han Feng angrily, "It has nothing to do with strength. In a critical moment, he saved me, and that's enough!"

Seeing Bai Yan's angry roar, Han Feng lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "The guardian spirit produced by the house of the eaves boy, once the house disappears, or the person who loves the house dies, the eaves boy will also disappear. Perhaps it should not be said to disappear. , in the eyes of human beings, the eaves boy has never existed. Even if he has been guarding you, you can’t see it, even if you see it, it’s just a shadow, and you’ll never see his true face.”

"I know!" Bai Yan clenched her fingers tightly, her voice was about to cry, "I know."

"Because you know, you prevented Mr. Bai from demolishing this house, right? You want to keep the eaves boy, even if you have a falling out with your family." Seeing Bai Yan suppressing his emotions, Han Feng pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You can say Tell me about the eaves boy saving you?"

Bai Yan tried her best to stabilize her mood. After a while, she sat down and remained silent.When Han Feng thought she would remain silent forever, Bai Yan began to slowly tell the story of how she saw the boy on the roof.

In July and a half, the Ghost Festival is also called Ghost Festival.On this day, the gate of ghosts is wide open, and ghosts come out of the cage, and go home to visit their relatives.That year's Ghost Festival, Bai Yan and her grandma returned to this house to burn paper money for their ancestors. There was nothing during the day, but at night, something happened.

I heard that ghosts are afraid of evil people, Bai Yan's temper is generally soft, unless she is really pushed into a hurry.After falling asleep at night, Bai Yan began to dream. When she was in a drowsy sleep, she heard someone calling her.Bai Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, she got out of bed when she heard someone tell her to go out.

When she came to the place where the sound came from, Bai Yan saw a figure, but she couldn't really see the other person's appearance.Bai Yan asked him what's the matter, and Yingying asked her to tell the neighbor in Poxia to burn some paper money for him, and what was his name.Bai Yan thought, this is not a big deal, so she agreed.

However, after Bai Yan agreed, the figure didn't leave, and started rummaging around Bai Yan's house.Bai Yan has a temper, and she hates other people rummaging in her home, so she started to scold that figure.After cursing a few words, the figure rushed towards her ferociously, and Bai Yan turned around and ran away.

Bai Yan ran very fast, and just as the figure was about to catch up to her, a person in a white robe appeared to protect Bai Yan.Bai Yan also couldn't see the face of the man in white robe clearly, she only remembered that he was wearing white robe and was a man.The man in the white robe chased away the figure, who cursed and left.

After being rescued, Bai Yan was worried that the figure would go to grandma, so she asked the man in white robe if grandma was okay.The man in the white robe said, it's okay, she has a fiercer temper than you, so I dare not approach her.Afterwards, the white-robed man brought Bai Yan back. She wanted to ask who the white-robed man was, but suddenly woke up, and it turned out that everything was a dream.

After waking up, Bai Yan recalled this dream, it was so real that it was frighteningly real, and her scalp tingled unavoidably.Bai Yan didn't dare to sleep anymore, she kept her eyes open until dawn.After dawn, Bai Yan told her grandma the dream she had last night, and also named the figure.Grandma told Bai Yan that that person lived in the house on the slope, died outside and couldn't enter the house.Bai Yan had never heard of this person before, and she didn't know there was such a person, but she knew that person's name, because in the dream, that figure told her.

Then, Bai Yan asked grandma who was the man in white robe who rescued her.Grandma said, that is the eaves boy, protecting the house.That day, Bai Yan didn't know why the eave boy came so late, but it was a fact that the eave boy saved her.Before, she didn't pay attention to whom grandma burned the paper money, and what she chanted when she burned it. Since then, Bai Yan has started to pay attention.

It turned out that every time I went out, my grandma would chanted like telling a child, go out, take care of the house.Bai Yan knew that it was read to the boys in the eaves.There was also the well in front of the house. Grandma told Bai Yan that she was going to call that well Grandpa Jing. She was already very old and had been drinking the water from that well before.For the first time, Bai Yan knew that there were so many things guarding them in their lives that she hadn't noticed before.

A few years later, her grandma passed away, and Bai Yan was very sad.Grandma likes this house the most. Every time she goes out and stays for a few more days, she will always talk about what is going on in the house. If it rains, she is afraid that the house will leak;Grandma said that this house was built by her without closing her eyes for a few days and nights, and it was her heart and soul.Before grandma passed away, she kept saying that she didn't want to die anywhere else, she must be in the house so that she could close her eyes with peace of mind.

Bai Yan accompanied her grandma back to this house, her grandma passed away not long after, she was very peaceful when she left, as if she was asleep.Grandma passed away, the house seemed very empty, Bai Yan remembered how grandma cherished this house, so she stayed and continued to take care of the house.Not only did Bai Yan want to continue what her grandma had done, she also didn't want the boy who silently guarded them to disappear.

Some people miss the old, some people like the new.Mr. Bai took a fancy to the location of the old house and wanted to demolish it and build a new one, but Bai Yan strongly opposed his plan as soon as he announced it.The repeated discussions were useless, and finally escalated into a quarrel. Bai Yan said that there is a guardian spirit in the house and cannot be dismantled.Mr. Bai said that Bai Yan was superstitious, but he had no choice but to find Bai Yan, who was completely soft-spoken. In the end, he could only find the "Wandering House", and wanted them to tell Bai Yan that there are no ghosts in the world.

The sun hid in the mountains, leaving only a little afterglow to shine on the earth, and the sky gradually darkened.After Bai Yan finished talking about everything, the room fell into silence for a moment.Human emotions are very complicated, no one can tell who is right and who is wrong between Bai Yan and Mr. Bai, they just have different positions.Nowadays, things are changing with each passing day, science and technology continue to improve, and people yearn for a better life, how can it be wrong.Because Gan Nian has been silently guarding his own creatures, there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect him.

Han Feng sighed slightly, it was difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, and Han Feng couldn't say who was at fault between their father and daughter.The moon has risen outside, and there are insects and frogs in the fields, one after another, like a joyful concert.Han Feng thought for a moment, stood up, and said, "It's getting dark, but you haven't eaten a few bites of dinner. I'm sorry to bother you again. Let's say goodbye today and come back tomorrow."

When Bai Yan heard Han Feng said that she was going to leave, she hurriedly got up and ran to the room on the right side of the main room to turn on the light, and said worriedly, "It's so dark that you can't see the road, it takes an hour to drive from here to the town, where are you going?"

Dumbfounded by Bai Yan's question, Han Feng shook his head in embarrassment. He couldn't say that a fairy king and a real dragon by his side could arrive in town within minutes.

Seeing Han Feng shaking his head, Bai Yan knew that they had nowhere to go now, it was getting dark outside, and it was not good to go out.After thinking about it, Bai Yan said, "Why don't you live here. There are just two rooms, you can live on the left side, and I live on the right side. But there are not enough beds, two of you need to sleep on the floor."

Noticed Bai Lin's displeasure on his face, obviously he didn't want to stay, and it's obviously better to stay under the current situation.So, before Bai Lin could speak, Han Feng said, "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble." Bai Yan said, walked to the room on the left side of the main room, turned on the light, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll make the bed."

"Okay, thank you." Han Feng smiled.Before Han Feng finished speaking, Bai Lin pulled Gu Bai out of the house with an unhappy expression on his face, and came to the yard.Han Feng turned his head to look at A'Du, and the two walked to the courtyard together, and came to Bai Lin's side.

Sure enough, as soon as Han Feng arrived, Bai Lin said unhappily, "Why do we want to stay here? It's not that we can't find a place to live. Four of us live in one room. Let me tell you, I can't stand this. "

Han Feng looked at Bai Lin and explained, "The matter has to be resolved. Is it better for us to stay and ask the eaves boy? Don't you just want to make out with Gu Bai? No one can see what you are doing when you set up an enchantment."

Grabbing Bai Lin's ear, Gu Bai said with a smirk, "Han Feng, don't pay attention to him, of course you have to stay. This nature with mountains and rivers makes people comfortable in the city."

"Okay, okay, hold on." Bai Lin covered her ears and hurriedly agreed.

Hearing Bai Lin's promise, Gu Bai let go of his ears.Gu Bai looked at Han Feng and said, "Why don't we all stand outside? Let her be a girl to make the bed."

"I'll help her." After Han Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked into the room to help Bai Yan spread the quilt.

The bed in Bai Yan's house is different from that in Han Feng's house. The bed in Bai Yan's house is a tall wooden frame with a mosquito net hanging on it.The wooden shelf is very strong, and there are guardrails on the side to prevent people from falling.Bai Yan's so-called bed making is not a normal bed making. There is a deep hole in the wooden frame, and there are wooden planks on it. Thick straw must be placed on the wooden plank first.When the straw is still two knuckles away from the edge of the bed, spread two more beds of cotton batting, and then spread the quilt after the cotton batting is spread.

The sheets are laid out, the quilts are brought in, and the pillows are placed.The bed is made up, and the floor is also opened. The room in Bai Yan's house is not a concrete floor, but a floor.The distance from the ground to the floor is about knee height. The reason why the floor is facing the floor is because the floor is laid on the floor. The country people say that it is earthy, cotton wool, and quilts are easy to get wet and relatively cold.

It is relatively simple to lay the floor. First, sweep the floor, spread a layer of bottoming sheets, then spread two beds of cotton wool, then spread the sheets, and put pillows and quilts on it.When everything is done, it's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to go to bed.

Bai Yan remembered that Han Feng and the others hadn't eaten, so she suggested, "Shall I go and make you some supper? I see you haven't eaten dinner yet."

Han Feng turned his head to look at A'Du and the others, only to see A'Du was staring at Han Feng fixedly, Gu Bai was also staring at Han Feng, Bai Lin didn't respond.Understanding what A'Du and Gu Bai meant, Han Feng shook his head helplessly, and said, "Bai Yan, you didn't eat much at night. How about Yuxi, you come to light the fire, and I'll cook the vegetables. It's quicker to cook."
