incense shop owner

Xia Guhan waved at the little girl.

The little girl hesitated for a while, then slowly moved out of the alley, still a little scared, hesitating.

The black cat ran to her and gently rubbed against the little girl's feet, "Meow~"

It seems to be comforting, and it seems to be encouraging.

Xia Guhan didn't rush, he yawned and leaned against Gu Jinnian, waiting patiently for the little girl to come.

For about tens of seconds, the little girl pursed her lips and slowly took a small step forward, the red skirt swaying slightly.

The black cat arched her with its furry head.

The little girl glanced down at the black cat.

"Meow~" the black cat called again.

Only then did the little girl summon up her courage, walked up to Xia Guhan, and timidly called out "Brother."

"En." Xia Guhan responded without showing too much enthusiasm, "Come in with me."

His lack of warmth made the little girl feel more at ease, and she followed Xia Guhan into the incense shop.

As soon as I entered the incense shop, a coolness came to my face. Without the sun, the little girl felt very comfortable and relaxed a lot.

"Sit down." Xia Guhan pulled out a small stool from behind the counter and placed it in front of the little girl. He planned to go back to sit on the recliner in the counter, but thought that the little girl would not be able to see him once he sat down. Move the plastic stool for old ghosts to the counter, and sit down at a certain distance from the little girl.

The little girl glanced at him before she sat down on the small stool and looked up at Xia Guhan. There was timidity and curiosity in her dark and watery eyes.

The black cat lay lazily at the little girl's feet, guarding her like a patron saint.

The freshmen and sophomores hid not far away and grinned at the black cat, looking like they still wanted to fight the black cat.Xia Guhan glanced over, and the two paper puppets became honest, they remained motionless as if they were real paper puppets.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Xia Guhan didn't know how to get along with children, but he tried his best to ask softly, because he was not used to it, his tone seemed a little stiff.

The little girl lowered her head, rubbed her red dress with her hands helplessly, and said in a small voice, "I want to leave, I don't want to stay here."

The black cat seemed to be aware of her emotions and approached her to rub against her.

The girl's voice was very small, but Xia Guhan still heard it, and knew that the girl's so-called "here" was the world, and she didn't want to live.

But as a ghost fetus, she cannot decide her own life or death.

Xia Guhan frowned, and was about to further guide the little girl to say more, when there was noise from outside the door.

There was a sound of footsteps that Xia Guhan was very familiar with, which directly made Xia Gu's face cold, and a look of helplessness flashed between his brows and eyes.

The little girl suddenly sprang up from the small stool, like a stress reaction, and hid under the table where the incense candles and ingots were placed, curling herself up into a ball, her dark pupils dilated, her eyes began to slacken, and her whole body was trembling .

Something or someone came in that frightened her.

Xia Guhan stared intently, and threw a talisman at the little girl's feet, "Hold it, as long as you don't want to, no one will know you're here."

The little girl hesitated for a while, then stretched out her fingers tremblingly and pinched the golden talisman under her feet.There was no frightening burning sensation, and nothing changed around her, but inexplicably, the little girl felt something forming around her, as if she was safe.

After such a short time, Xia Guhan had already hid in the counter, pretending to be in a deep sleep.

Gu Jinnian on the side raised his eyebrows in surprise, Xia Guhan really "hid" in.

Could it be that among the people who came, there were also people who Xia Guhan was afraid of?

That would be interesting.

Gu Jinnian didn't have any sympathy at all, but was looking forward to it.

The voices from outside gradually approached, and before anyone could be seen, a voice full of aura came in first, "Little apprentice, the teacher is here, come out quickly to meet him."

Soon, an old man wearing a floral shirt with chain jeans and oversized sunglasses appeared in Gu Jinnian's field of vision.

Along with the old man, there was a baby-faced girl and the couple from yesterday.

"Xia Guhan?"

"Little apprentice Lonely?"

Without Xia Guhan's response, Xia Peihe shouted several times, determined not to wake Xia Guhan and leave.

However, it was not Xia Guhan who responded to Xia Peihe first, but the two paper figures hiding in the corner.

The paper figurine jumped out from the corner and rushed towards Sharpei River, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

There was a little more urgency in the gloomy voice, and the two paper puppet finally ushered in a real backer.

Xia Peihe hugged the paper-made figurine one by one, saw the bald freshman, and said distressedly: "Grandpa's little baby, what's wrong with your head?"

The freshman was about to cry, but he also knew that the little girl's existence could not be exposed at this moment, so he could only pout and throw himself into Grandpa's arms.

Grandpa and grandson finally reunited, so it was naturally warm and lively.

But when Pei Ze and Su Yuewei saw the two paper figures talking, their faces turned pale with fright, and they subconsciously grabbed the baby-faced girl's hand, seeking protection.

The baby-faced girl comforted them, "Don't worry, they are very cute and well-behaved." Looking at the paper figurines, their eyes were full of love, and they wished they could reach out and rub them.

good?

cute?

Pei Ze glanced at the sallow face of the paper-wrapped villain, and felt that his own aesthetics were incompatible with those of them.

Breaking away from Pei Ze and Su Yuewei, the baby-faced girl walked to the edge of the counter and shouted at Xia Guhan who was lying on the recliner pretending to be asleep: "Senior brother! Master and I are here to see you!"

Xia Guhan continued to pretend to be asleep.

After Xia Peihe comforted the two precious grandchildren, he also came over. The baby-faced girl took a step back and offered to make room for him.

"Little apprentice, are you awake?"

Xia Guhan: zzz~

Xia Peihe squinted his eyes, it seemed that he was going to make a big move.

He looked at the baby-faced girl, "Xiaomi, go to the car and get the teacher's equipment."

The girl smiled contemptuously, and gloated, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After talking, he ran out bouncingly, and he was very active very quickly.

Gu Jinnian, who had been watching the excitement from the beginning to the end, obviously felt Xia Guhan's back stiffen.

When it was over, he became more and more curious about Master Xia Guhan's equipment.

Within a few minutes, the girl called Xiaomi came back with a——

Suona.

Xia Peihe took over the suona and played "Today is a good day" to Xia Guhan directly.

The incense shop was originally cramped, but when the suona was blown, the echo became even louder, and the eardrums began to vibrate with the music.

Anyone who falls asleep will be blown away, let alone Xia Guhan.

Who said you can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep?

That's because suona is not used.

Xia Guhan only felt that the eardrums were throbbing, and the veins on his forehead were also twitching. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and sat up from the recliner.

He looked at Xia Peihe sleepily, and called slowly, "Master."

He moved his foot and "accidentally" kicked Gu Jinnian, with the force to vent his anger, who made him watch the excitement just now.

Just kick it, Gu Jinnian doesn't care, it's rare to see Xia Guhan deflated, no matter what, he can't miss it.

Seeing Xia Guhan wake up, Xia Peihe reluctantly handed over the suona to Xiaomi, walked over happily and hugged Xia Guhan into his arms, "Little disciple, I miss you as a teacher."

Xia Guhan didn't move, he just pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed.

Xiaomi shouted crisply from the side: "Senior brother."

Xia Guhan looked at her and saw the suona in her hand.

Xiaomi was very vigilant, and immediately hid the suona behind her back, dodging a gust of wind.

Xia Guhan withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and pushed away the old man who was on top of him, "Master, why did you come to Wuzhou?"

I'm not at all embarrassed about pretending to be asleep and being woken up.

"Don't you know?" Xia Peihe found a place to sit down, "I came to Wuzhou to take over the Tianshi Association in Wuzhou, and now I am the vice president of the Tianshi Association."

"Oh."

Xia Guhan remembered that before Xia Gujiang left, he had indeed told him that someone would replace Fang Yinian as the vice president of the Celestial Masters Association, but he did not expect that this vacancy would fall on his master.

Don't look at Xia Guhan's reaction at the moment, but when he thinks about facing Xia Peihe every day in the future, his head will grow big.

Xia Peihe's qualifications are mediocre, and he will become a second-level celestial master after practicing for a lifetime.But he is knowledgeable and known as the mobile library of the celestial master world. If you ask him questions about celestial masters, he can answer most of them. He has always been the teacher of the Xia family's children.

Xia Guhan is also his student, but he is the laziest student.

Over the years, in order to let Xia Guhan take the initiative to learn, Xia Peihe and Xia Guhan fought wits and bravely, and developed a set of methods to deal with Xia Guhan.

Xia Guhan thought that if he left Xia's family, he would no longer be poisoned by Xia Peihe, so the old man who wanted to go home directly sent Xia Peihe to Wuzhou.

Gu Jinnian saw from Xia Guhan's face that there was nothing to love about, and finally realized his conscience, and flicked his finger lightly.

Xiaomi who was holding the suona felt her hands sinking, and when she realized it, the suona had no fire, and there was not even a slag left in the blink of an eye.

Millet:! ! !

Xiaomi: "Master, the suona is gone!"

Xia Guhan gave Gu Jinnian an appreciative look.

Xia Peihe's attention was attracted by the sudden disappearance of Suona, and he walked over to look at Xiaomi's empty hand, lost in thought.

After a while, the two masters and apprentices got together to mutter and discuss.

Xia Guhan then turned his attention to Pei Ze and his wife.

The couple had been in for a long time, and they didn't dare to bother them when they saw the master and apprentice reminiscing about the old days. They waited anxiously and awkwardly. Now that Xia Guhan finally came over, the couple came up together.

"Boss Xia," Pei Ze spoke first, with a respectful attitude, no longer the arrogance of yesterday, "I am very sorry for yesterday's slip of the tongue, and please, Boss Xia, ignore the villain."

Being able to become the president of a listed company, he is a person who can bend and stretch, and he is also a person who can hold his breath. He hides his emotions deeply, and is full of respect for Xia Guhan, who is completely different from yesterday.The point is that he himself is not embarrassed at all.

Su Yuewei was a little more urgent than him, and before Xia Guhan could respond, she hurriedly said: "Boss Xia, you told me yesterday that if we encounter other problems, we can come to you, I don't know if we can do it now? "

Xia Guhan nodded, but his eyes fell on the feet of Su Yuewei and Pei Ze.

There was a little baby covered in blood, sitting on the ground right now, with the umbilical cord still uncut and dragging on the ground.The baby is chubby, and its limbs are like lotus root joints. He is playing with his feet with one hand and gnawing on the other in his mouth. If you ignore his bloody appearance, he is no different from an ordinary baby. .

But when he looked carefully, Xia Guhan noticed that the baby's eyes were a little less lively, and he looked dumbfounded.It's really like what the old ghost said, three souls and seven souls are missing one soul.

"Tell me about what happened to you." Xia Guhan withdrew his gaze and leaned back lazily.

Pei Ze recounted the knock on the door in the middle of the night in detail, and said, "As long as Boss Xia can help us solve the problem, everything can be discussed."

He was so good that he even prepared the red envelope and handed it over with both hands.

Xia Guhan took the red envelope without any scruples, a thin one.He opened the red envelope directly in front of Pei Ze, and there was a check inside.

Glancing at the amount above, Xia Guhan put it away in satisfaction, took out two pieces of jade from the counter and handed them to Pei Ze and Su Yuewei, "Wearing this, he dare not approach you again."

But it won't hurt that ghost.

Pei Ze was not satisfied with the result, and frowned, "Boss Xia, can't you get rid of that thing? Money is not an issue, I'm willing to pay for whatever."

The behavior of Xia Guhan opening the red envelope face to face made Pei Ze believe that Xia Guhan is a mercenary person, as long as the money is enough, Xia Guhan is willing to do anything.

Su Yuewei didn't say anything from the side, but her eyes flickered slightly, she hesitated for a while, and she didn't know what she thought of, but she gradually became firm.

Xia Guhan suddenly looked over and asked her: "Do you want me to get rid of him too?"

Su Yuewei nodded without hesitation, "Boss Xia, please."

Xia Guhan asked again: "Even if you get rid of it, you will no longer be able to have your own children, are you still willing to do so?"

Xia Guhan's words made Pei Ze and his wife fall into silence.

Pei Ze looked at a loss, wondering why that thing was related to whether he would have children in the future.

Su Yuewei's eyes dodged, avoiding Xia Guhan's sight, "I...I don't know what you're talking about."

Xia Guhan understood.

It seems that Su Yuewei is not completely unaware of the existence of ghost fetuses.

Otherwise, with her eagerness to get pregnant, Su Yuewei will definitely choose to break the casserole and ask the end when she hears something that will determine whether they will have children.

But now, Su Yuewei chose to escape.

The truth is revealed without arguing.

Xia Guhan waved his hand, "Since you don't really want to solve the problem, let's go."

As for the check and the two pieces of jade, it was money and goods, and it was impossible for Xia Guhan to return it.

"Boss Xia!" Pei Ze didn't intend to leave, and took a step forward, "Can you tell me what's going on? Why would I have no child of my own after getting rid of that dirty thing? Could it be that Weiwei hasn't been pregnant for so long, is it Is it because of that thing? How can that thing make Vivi pregnant without hurting us?"

Pei Ze asked several questions in a row, apparently in a hurry.

The person who was calm about children yesterday was not really calm. He still longed to have a child of his own in his heart.

But is Su Yuewei willing to let the truth surface?

She took Pei Ze's hand, her voice choked with anxiety, "Husband, you were right yesterday, he is a magic stick! He must have made it up to say that we would have no baby if all the dirty things were gone. It is to hang our appetite, and then blackmail us severely. Let's go, let's go home, we are all looking forward to the baby's arrival, the baby must feel it, and he will definitely come to us."

Xia Guhan looked at the ghost fetus not far from her feet, and thought: Isn't it?The baby is at your feet, coming to you early.It's just that you don't want it.

Pei Ze didn't interrupt Su Yuewei's words, in fact, he was also evaluating the content of Su Yuewei's words, and looked at Xia Guhan suspiciously.

Xia Guhan yawned lazily, lay down on the recliner, and let Su Yuewei pour dirty water on her body without explaining to herself.

Pei Ze was confused by Xia Guhan's indifferent attitude, took a deep look at Xia Guhan, and decided to take it easy.

He stretched out his hand to embrace Su Yuewei's shoulders, hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly. Seeing that Su Yuewei's mood had calmed down a bit, he said apologetically: "Boss Xia, I'm really sorry. Weiwei is so eager to have a child of her own, you When it is said that we will never be able to have our own baby, Weiwei will inevitably lose control of her emotions. I will take her home first, and when Weiwei calms down, I will come to you next time."

He didn't say when the next time would be.

Pei Ze has his own little plan in his heart, if Xia Guhan really wants to make more money from him, he will definitely lose his composure when he sees him go back, and ask him to stay.

If not...

Pei Ze felt that he needed to find some time to come alone to understand the situation.

Xia Guhan didn't care whether Pei Ze and his wife left or not, until Pei Ze and Su Yuewei walked out of the incense shop, Xia Guhan didn't stop them, and didn't even look at them.

Pei Ze's footsteps paused.

Is Boss Xia really calm, or...

Su Yuewei tugged Pei Ze's hand, "Honey, let's go back."

Maybe she was panicking, but she didn't completely hide her inner emotions, showing a little bit of impatience.

Pei Ze glanced at him, and said tenderly and dotingly: "Okay, let's go home first."

But upon closer inspection, there was not much emotion in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

***

As soon as Pei Ze and his wife left, the incense shop became quiet.

Xia Peihe and Xiaomi studied for a long time, but they couldn't find out why the suona would burn and decompose by itself. Seeing the guests leave, they immediately went to ask Xia Guhan.

Xia Guhan was too lazy to deal with them, so he pushed Gu Jinnian out.

Suona was broken by Gu Jinnian, so it was natural for Gu Jinnian to explain it.

Gu Jinnian didn't know that Xia Guhan was lazy.

Stretching out his hand and rubbing Xia Guhan's head, he took the initiative to show his figure.

He looked at Xia Peihe, "Master."

Looking at Xiaomi again, "Junior Sister."

The titles all follow Xia Guhan, and they are very self-conscious.

But Xia Peihe and Xiaomi were frightened by the sudden appearance of Gu Jinnian, subconsciously responded to Gu Jinnian's address, and mechanically looked at Xia Guhan.

The puzzled eyes of the master and the apprentice seemed to be carved out of the same mold, with two words written brightly——

Who is this?

Xia Guhan was a little stuck, he didn't know how to introduce Gu Jinnian, so he just threw it all to Gu Jinnian and went to find the little girl by himself.

Gu Jinnian introduced himself generously, "Master, Junior Sister, I am Xia Guhan's lover, my name is Gu Jinnian."

"Love... lover?"

It's not a friend, not a boyfriend, but a lover, which is generally introduced by married people.

Xia Peihe's jaw almost dropped in surprise.

However, Xia Peihe is a very receptive person, and he quickly accepted the relationship between Gu Jinnian and Xia Guhan.What he cared about was another question instead. He looked at Gu Jinnian directly, and asked unceremoniously, "Gu Jinnian, right? Are you a human or a ghost?"

A human being can easily hide his figure, even a celestial master can't see it.It's a ghost, but it doesn't have any ghostly aura. When it shows its body shape, it looks like a normal person.

Xia Peihe has lived for so long, and has never seen anything like this...

No, it's not that I haven't seen it.He has seen similar records in books.

Suddenly recalling the contents of the book, Xia Peihe's eyes widened in shock.

Gu Jinnian smiled slightly, admitting it.

It took Xia Peihe a while to digest the news, and when he looked at his lazy apprentice again, his eyes were extremely complicated.

——Apprentice, apprentice, do you know what incredible existence you have provoked?

Xiaomi tugged at Xia Peihe's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Master, master... what is a sister-in-law?"

Xia Peihe shook his head, and flipped Xiaomi's brains out of his mind, "Kids are so curious, don't be too curious."

Xiaomi pursed her mouth and muttered something, but obediently didn't ask any more questions.

Master does not say that he affirms Master's principles.

***

Xia Guhan ignored the confrontation between Gu Jinnian and Xia Peihe, he walked to the table where the goods were placed and squatted down, and said to the little girl: "They are gone, you can come out."

The little girl looked over timidly, her pupils still in a state of slack.

Xia Guhan didn't urge her, but just looked at her firmly, and stretched out one hand to her.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

The little girl tilted her head, and her eyes slowly recovered. Seeing the hand that Xia Guhan handed over, she hesitated to lift her hand up and put it gently on it.

"I'll take you out." Xia Guhan gently brought the little girl out from under the table.

The little girl couldn't get used to too many people. When she came out, she hugged the black cat in one hand, and pulled Xia Guhan's clothes with the other. She hid behind Xia Guhan, only her furry head poked out, and her bright eyes looked at the incense shop curiously. other people in the

Xia Peihe's attention was attracted, and knowing that the little girl was born, he turned his gaze to Xia Guhan after only one glance, and swept his fingers around Gu Jinnian and Xia Guhan, "Your daughter?"

Since Xia Guhan can marry Gu Jinnian, there is nothing wrong with having a daughter between them.

"Wow," Xiaomi exclaimed, "I'm an aunt now?"

Then he asked curiously: "Brother or sister-in-law?"

Xia Guhan: "..."

Gu Jinnian: "..."

outrageous.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Xia Guhan: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Xia Peihe: That's because you haven't seen the power of suona.

Xia Guhan: ...

is losing.
