Chapter 2 The Lonely Guest

"Congratulations," Qi Yin smiled at him, "Which family is the bride from? I'll come over for a wedding sometime!"

"His surname is Qi." The man said.

"Coincidentally, it has the same surname as mine." Qi Yin patted her buttocks and stood up, "Is baby dear? Where did you find it?"

The man nodded, "Wujiang."

What a coincidence, Qi Yin also lived in Wujiang when he was still with his mother.This is also what my aunt told him. It is said that his mother was entangled by some demons and moved to many places. Later, when she ran out of money, she came to join my aunt.He still remembered his aunt smiling teasingly when she said this, covering her mouth and saying: "I don't know what kind of luck your mother is, she provokes some dubious things every now and then. You see, your aunt and I have lived so long Age, don't talk about immortals and monsters, I haven't even seen a spirit monster that has become a spirit."

"What's her name? I've lived here for a long time and know a lot of people. Maybe I can find it for you." Qi Yin said.

"Dog slave."

"Ah?" Qi Yin didn't understand.

"Dog slave," the man said, "He's called Dog slave."

brat?Qi Yin was a little speechless, the girl's name was really a bit casual.

"What does it look like, and do you have any characteristics?" Qi Yin said, "Do you have any moles on your face, and do you have any special preferences?"

The man thought about it seriously, and said, "You are so cute, I like to suck my fingers."

"..." Qi Yin asked in a strange manner, "Do you smoke in the wild?"

The man nods.

Qi Yin stopped talking.The man didn't speak, perhaps because he didn't know what to say.The two looked at each other and fell into a long silence.

This is a terrible man.Qi Yin thought.

"There are not many families surnamed Qi here. There are two in the west gate and three in the east gate. You might be able to find them if you ask." Qi Yin scratched her head and said, "Although I don't know whether I should say it or not, I still talk too much." Say something... don't tell others what you just said, it's bad for the reputation of the dog slave girl."

The man froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand what was wrong.

Qi Yin asked him to wait for a while, walked in the door, took an old umbrella when he came out, handed it to him and said with a smile: "I wish you a happy bride."

When Qi Yin smiled, she showed her white teeth, showing the vigor of a young man.

The man stared at him in a daze, took the umbrella with his head down, and said softly, "Thank you."

The black cat jumped onto the stone lion and onto his shoulders.One person, one cat, held an umbrella and stepped into the wind and rain. The ink-colored back, like a hazy ink stain among the white walls and black tiles, slowly fainted at the end of the alley.Qi Yin thought of that man's clean black eyes, reflecting the wind, rain and water in Wutang Town, with a kind of tranquility.

Sure enough, a real person cannot be judged by his appearance. Although he looks honest, he is actually a beast.Qi Yin shook his head.

"Tch, poor man, the old man won't give me anything to eat after being coquettish for so long." The black cat gritted its teeth angrily, "The old man is hungry, Fulan!"

Fu Lan lowered her head and took out her purse, poured out three copper coins in her palm, "I've run out of money."

"You are poorer than him!"

Fu Lan ignored it, looked up into the distance, and at the end of her vision stood a tall pagoda, which was the tallest Buddhist pagoda in Wutang Town.He put away the green bamboo oil-paper umbrella, looked at it for a while, and disappeared in an instant.There were many pedestrians on the street, and the roadside vendors were busy setting up the flat-roofed sheds. No one noticed that a man suddenly disappeared.In the next moment, a little ink stain on the top of the tower gradually expanded, revealing the appearance of a young man.Fulan floated on the top of the tower, opened the umbrella again, and the clear raindrops fell along the edge of the umbrella, falling to the distant and small houses and pavilions below.

He opened his right hand, and countless small light blue fish flew out of his palm and merged into the wind and rain.The fish swayed in the wind. Through the eyes of the little fish, he saw the shops on Dongmen Street opened one by one, the manure pullers rang their bells and went door-to-door to collect manure water, and the farmers who bought vegetables carried their loads into the town. , a few little boys with long hair running wildly in the rain... and the boy I met just now, he was happily putting a small mother-of-pearl box into the bed. a crack.

"How?" asked the black cat, "Did you find the pup?"

He lowered his eyes and shook his head silently.

"It seems that this town doesn't exist either." The black cat scratched the tip of its nose.

Fu Lan was silent for a while.He looked down at his palm and thought of the child again.

He is his little bride and also his little brother. He likes that child to call him brother, which is crisp and nice.

He raised his head and inadvertently saw the boy's house just now.Fu Lan said: "Just now there was a demon in that person's house."

"It's none of our business," said the black cat, "we're demons too, idiots, and demons are our kind. Find a place to rest and set off for the next town at night to find puppies. He's eighteen this year, He is twenty years old, and we must find him as soon as possible."

Fu Lan put away her umbrella and leaned back, her black hair scattered in the wind and rain, as if she was about to fall off a high tower.It was only at the moment when he fell that the black figure flashed like ink blots and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Qi Yin went back, the guest had already left, probably came to deliver some letter at home.He lay on the bed and counted his own small treasury, plus the silver notes from his grandmother, there were a total of ten taels of silver, which was enough for him to rent a small tile-roofed house outside and marry Fengxian.Don't worry about the child, he is still young anyway, so it doesn't matter if he wants it a few years later.He was happy in his heart, and even looked at the dilapidated attic much more pleasing to his eyes.The rain gradually stopped, and I listened intently to the sounds outside, only to find that the house was quiet, unlike in the past.His aunt had a loud voice, and it was rare for her to have a quiet time at home. Today, she didn't know what medicine she took wrongly, but it stopped.

After a while, Qi Yin got up, put on his clothes and went out to buy vegetables.Before going out, my aunt leaned on the door frame and looked at him, her eyes were a little strange, and he felt scared, so she trotted out of the alley with a basket in her hand.When I walked to the alley, I realized that I didn't bring a purse, so I rushed back to get it.The house was very quiet, only the upper room was filled with voices, and Qi Yin's walking steps were unconsciously lighter.

The door and window of the upper room were closed, and the skylight shone on the rhombus window, casting a few hazy silhouettes.Qi Yin counted, except for him and Xiaoyuan, the Yao family were all inside.

Suddenly, he squatted under the window and listened carefully to the voices inside.

"Tell me, what kind of shit luck does this kid have! My father, who has been missing for 18 years, sent a letter again, asking him to go to the fairy mountain to cultivate immortality, and he will send someone to pick him up tomorrow!" It was my aunt's voice, with a very strong tone. High, almost shaking to the sky.

Qi Yin was startled, almost screamed, and quickly covered his mouth.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, his father was killed when he was eliminating demons, Wufang Xianshan took care of his father's child and asked him to go to Xianshan." Uncle sighed, "Poor child, dad has not yet When you see it, it's gone."

"Isn't it all the same?" My aunt was itching her teeth angrily, "My Xiaoshan is so talented, why didn't anyone come to collect it? This stupid kid took the lead!"

The heart that had just risen fell down again, and Qi Yin froze in place.

Qi Yin couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, it seemed to be sad, but it didn't seem that sad. "Father" was still a stranger to him, and when he heard a stranger died, he didn't have any superfluous feelings other than "oh".It’s just that there seems to be a connection suddenly broken in the dark, like a very thin kite string. I don’t feel much when I hold it behind my back on weekdays. , Leaking the wind.

Did the demon die?Qi Yin looked down at his toes, he was still a hero.

"Mother, I also want to go to Xianshan Mountain." Yao Xiaoshan said.

"Oh, I want you to go too, but they made it clear that they only came to pick up Qi Yin." The aunt sighed and said, "Mother, what do you say?"

There was silence in the room for a while, Qi Yin heard the old lady counting the beads of prayer beads, one by one, slowly.

Grandma finally opened her mouth: "Xiaoyin looks good, but his heart is very hard. When his mother died, he didn't shed a single tear, and he stood there as if nothing happened. When he was a child, he could say that he didn't know anything. But when he was eight years old, he slaughtered a chicken for the first time. He wiped off the neck of the chicken without blinking his eyes. In his early years, his family was poor, and he was a tyrant. He was sent back. After all these years, he was still not very promising. He failed the imperial examination and could not earn money. I wanted to give him some money, let him marry a wife and start a family, and go out and live alone earlier. Good fortune." The old lady paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that you don't treat him like this. If he cultivates immortality, he might just leave and never come back."

"That's right!" My aunt shouted, "Look at my Xiaoshan, who became a master scholar at only [-] years old, how come I don't have such luck!"

Qi Yin's heart cooled down inch by inch.

"Forget it, I've done him a favor by giving him money to marry him." The old lady said, "How about this, Yu Niang, put some medicine in his food tonight, let him sleep until tomorrow. You secretly Take away his Liuli Eighteen Sons, lock the door and lock the windows, and when the fairy comes tomorrow, you will say that Xiaoshan is Qi Yin. Xiaoshan is my own grandson, and we will have a good life when Xiaoshan goes to Xianshan. And , that Xiaoyuan is not a safe product, and you will not be safe if you keep it at home, so sell it as soon as possible, out of sight and out of mind."

"It's none of Xiaoyuan's business..." Uncle said timidly.

"Shut up!" My aunt happily replied, "Our mother still has an idea, so let's do it!"

Qi Yin didn't listen to what they said later, he went out and walked on the road with a basket and kicking stones.The water on the Qingshiban road glistened, reflecting his vague shadow.

It turned out that the old lady was not unfriendly, she just simply didn't like him.It turned out that he was not lost when he was a child, it was the old lady who wanted to lose him.That's right, why don't you go to the market two miles away to buy vegetables?It's not that the food there is better, it's that they are afraid that he will get it back by himself.The way she looked at him was not indifferent, but indifferent.

That's right, he is not his grandson, why should he treat him well?

In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he goes to the fairy mountain or not. He has already passed the age when he heard the book people say that the sword fairy subdues demons and demons. When he was a child, his heart of showing off with the eighteen sons of glass was buried in the past years.The ordinary people are used to their lives, and becoming immortals and attaining enlightenment is far away from him. He can't imagine what it's like, and he can't have much envy and expectation.

As for his father, he had never met him anyway, and he never thought of him when he was alive, so why did he rush to put on sackcloth and filial piety for that man?

He raised his head, and the sun shone on his face across the wall of the horse's head, slightly dazzling.What he wanted was actually very little, a grandmother who gave him money to marry him, and a virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law, that was enough.Now that his grandmother was gone, he kicked out a stone at his feet, and the stone rolled to the steps of the pharmacy opposite. He saw Fengxian standing behind the counter weighing herbs.

Forget it, there is still a daughter-in-law anyway.He twitched his lips and leaned against the wall.

He didn't want to go home, so he hung out until the sun went down.The sunlight from the egg yolk spreads to the top of the wall, and the shadow of the tallow tree is reflected on the wall, lonely and thin.

He unconsciously walked to the opposite side of the pharmacy, his eyes swept away, and a familiar figure in black came into view.The man I met in the early morning was standing by the bulletin board, and the black cat was squatting beside him. A wanted notice for the demon leader Fulan was posted on the opposite side of them.The man watched there quietly, with no expression on his face, neither sad nor happy.From Qi Yin's point of view, his black silhouette is like a black bamboo, standing quietly under the setting sun.

Qi Yin walked over and greeted the man.

The man turned his head to look at him, and nodded in response.This person doesn't seem very talkative, calm like an ancient mirror.

Fulan's big head was drawn on the arrest warrant. He was a pig demon with long hair, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and two long fangs protruded from his nose.Fulan's wanted notice has been posted for a long time, and today she was drenched in the rain, and the ink on Fulan's mouth was smeared, as if she had drunk blood from her mouth.

More than ten years ago, the monsters had internal strife, which hurt a lot of vitality, and they huddled in a safe corner of the southern border of Bashu, and the four directions were very peaceful for a while.But out of this group of demons came out a big demon, Fulan, who swept Jiugai last year and beheaded the former demon king.Because of him, the demons stop fighting and fighting, and the demons regard him as the co-lord of the demons, so as to be prestige.Fu Lan has great ambitions and has repeatedly disturbed the human world. A few days ago, there was news that the village at the border between the human world and southern Xinjiang was slaughtered.

The military advisor beside him is the most cunning, and Fulan was able to sweep Jiugai. This person contributed a lot. He seems to be called Yu Sang, and he probably looks strange.All monsters look like this.

"Fulan, stop! Today, the Japanese Sword Immortal is going to do justice for the heavens and cut off your pig's head!" A group of children ran past them, and the two of them looked over. The boy pointed at it with a wooden sword.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you guys! My military advisor, Yu Sang, will protect me!" The child patted his dog, "Military advisor, come on!"

The earth dog yelled at the other children, and everyone dispersed.

Black Cat: "..."

Qi Yin smiled and said: "Children like to play like this. I also played Fulan when I was young."

It's just that he was forced to pretend by his classmates, and in the end he was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face by the "Sword Immortals".

The man did not speak.

"Did you find your wife?" Qi Yin asked.

He shook his head silently.

Qi Yin probably knew something in his heart.In fact, this kind of baby kiss is very unreliable, and most of them have to blow it up.Because once the status of the man and the woman is not equal, one party must want to regret the marriage.This buddy is alone with a cat, and the clothes he wears are also very ordinary ramie cloth, he doesn't look like a rich man.The reason why the woman moved was probably to avoid him.

Alas, even though he is a beast, he is also a miserable person just like him.Qi Yin feels melancholy in his heart.

"Relax, actually, a daughter-in-law doesn't need her family background to be high, as long as she is virtuous and virtuous." Qi Yin pointed to the pharmacy, "Did you see that girl? Her name is Fengxian. Her parents farmed the land. There are two One younger brother and one younger sister, the family is poor, but the girl is kind, gentle and gentle, and she is not angry with anyone. I plan to pick an auspicious day to come and propose marriage, and the dowry is already prepared." Qi Yin patted the man on the shoulder, express comfort.

Fu Lan looked in the direction of the pharmacy, and said: "Oh, is that the woman who kissed someone else?"

Qi Yin froze for a moment, raised her head, and saw Fengxian hiding from her employer's mouth, turning her head and laughing.Only then did he discover that Fengxian's attire had changed, her hair was combed high, and it was a woman's hair style, and the old jade hairpins were replaced by gold hairpins, with tassels hanging down, flashing by her ears Shaking in a flash.

Something seemed to be silently collapsing in her heart, and Qi Yin stayed where she was.

Fu Lan thought of Qi Yin congratulating him early this morning, and was deliberating whether to say something.He is not very good at talking, and it took him a long time to learn from the black cat before he made a little progress.

"Congratulations," Fu Lan finally said, "I'll come over to have a wedding sometime."
