[Comprehensive Classics] Guide to Cannon Fodder Counterattack
Chapter 83 Liaozhai
"Nan Ge,? Are you looking at the stars?"
For Nie Xiaoqian, the days when no stranger comes is a rare time for her to catch her breath.
Because grandma usually won't come out at this time.
As long as these female ghosts under her command stay in Lanruo Temple honestly,? She always doesn't pay much attention to them.
But since their sisters left her alone, even the relaxed time in the past has become oppressive for no reason.
Lonely,? Sometimes it really drives a person crazy.
Not bad,? Now Nan Ge is here.
After having an extra companion, Nie Xiaoqian was very attached to her, and was almost inseparable from her.
No, it's just that one didn't pay attention,? When she realized that Nan Ge, who was resting with her eyes closed just now, had disappeared, Nie Xiaoqian hurried out to look for someone, ah no, it should be said that she was looking for a ghost.
"Sister, look how beautiful these stars are." Nan Ge turned around and said with a smile to Nie Xiaoqian.
Nie Xiaoqian also imitated her and sat on the steps in front of the hall, with her hands on her knees, looking up at the bright or dim stars in the night.
"Is it beautiful? I probably thought so at first, but I have been looking at it for many years,? These are as common as the weeds in the yard. I no longer think it is beautiful, and I have lost the mood to look at it." .”
Nie Xiaoqian looked at the unkempt weeds in the yard. No one paid attention to them for a long time, and they were taller than human heads.On the east side there are also large clumps of bamboo, which are also tall and dense, covering the houses with layers of branches and leaves.
It may feel quiet during the day, but in such a cold night at night, the gusts of wind, the rustling of leaves, the dark shadows on the ground, and the hoarse crowing of crows from time to time will only make people scared. .
Not to mention, there are really ghosts here.
But so what about ghosts, they still have a grandma who is more terrifying than ghosts pressing down on them.
Grandma is just like her original form, a shadow that hangs over the entire Lanruo Temple.
"Because my sister's mood has changed. If my sister regains her original mood sometime, she will think the starry sky is beautiful again. But I look at the stars, but I don't just look at the stars."
Nie Xiaoqian was a little confused.
"What do you mean? Can you see other things besides the stars?" You can't see a flower.
"Sister, look at these stars."
Nan Ge pointed to the starry sky above his head, "The trajectory of every star has its own rules. As long as you can understand these rules, you can know a lot of things. For example, the Big Dipper can guide people. What I look at are the stars, or rather the trajectories of the stars."
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to understand, but looked at Nan Ge talking under the starry sky, and felt that she was more dazzling than these stars.
"Is this what storytellers often say about watching the sky at night? Nan Ge, you know a lot."
"It's not as powerful as you said." Nan Ge seemed a little shy, "I saw these in my father's study when I was naughty before, and they are just a little superficial. I think I don't need to sleep at night now, It’s a long night, so why not find something to pass the time, it’s good to look at the stars.”
Nie Xiaoqian was also very happy to see that Nan Ge could find something she liked to do, but she was a little worried when she thought of the future.
Nan Ge hasn't experienced those things yet, so she doesn't know how painful it is to hurt someone. I really hope that she can maintain the current mood in the future.
But let's not talk about these frustrating words, let Nan Ge relax for a while.
"Nan Ge, you've been watching it for a few days, did you see anything interesting?"
"Is it interesting? After three days, it will even rain for one day?"
"You can still see the weather, and you can even tell the time. This is superficial and too self-effacing. But it's okay if it rains, so there will be no annoying sun, and we can come out during the day to breathe, You don't need to stay indoors."
Nie Xiaoqian had no doubts about what Nan Ge said, and she was also very happy to think that it hadn't rained for a long time.
"Really, but I'm afraid that my sister's happiness will be in vain."
"Nan Ge, are you worried that you won't see it correctly? It doesn't matter, anyway, it will rain sooner or later, and I'm not in a hurry for a day or two."
Knowing that Nie Xiaoqian misunderstood what she meant, Nan Ge didn't explain it either.
She looked at the sky again, and it was true that there was rain, but thunderstorms were often accompanied by heavy rain.
Thunder and lightning kill evil, for safety's sake, it's better not to go out.
Thinking of this, Nan Ge slowly showed a carefree smile from an angle that Nie Xiaoqian couldn't see.
Really, God help me!
Early the next morning, when the sun was just rising, Nan Ge asked Nie Xiaoqian to help her look for the yellow fabric and needlework.
"What do you want these for?" Nie Xiaoqian was a little surprised, but still helped her find them.
"Sister, please allow me to keep a secret first. If it goes well, you will know at night."
"I don't know what your little head is thinking every day. Fortunately, you have all these things you want, here you are!"
This place used to be a temple, so there is no shortage of yellow cloth, although it is inevitable that it will be a little tattered after a long time, and there are even traces of insects, but it can still be used after cutting.
As for the needle and thread, it was left by the unlucky people of the past.
It's just that there are either ghosts or demons in Lanruo Temple, these things are useless to them, so they have been kept, and it just so happens that they can be used at this time.
"That's great. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it all together. I didn't expect there to be so many." What was even more surprising was that a small bag of cinnabar was found.
In this way, her plan can be carried out smoothly.
For the next whole day, Nan Ge buried himself in the pile of fabrics.
She first cut a square piece of fabric, about one meter long, and then drew some strange patterns on it with a pen dipped in cinnabar.
"Nan Ge, what are you painting? It's so strange."
"I also forgot when I saw it. I just remembered that these patterns represent auspiciousness, so I drew them. But I haven't finished drawing them yet, so it won't be strange when I finish them."
Nie Xiaoqian didn't know the way here, so she was easily fooled.If it were replaced by a tree demon who had dealt with Taoist priests a lot, it would probably be possible to tell at a glance that the painting on it was clearly a spell.
It's a pity, Nan Ge thought while drawing, it's daytime now, the old witch can't come out at all, so naturally she can't see it.
When I saw it at night, it was "carefully" decorated by her.
When the final touch was settled and felt the faint aura above, Nan Ge was overjoyed, it was done!
The power of this talisman is enormous, I never thought that with her current low strength, she would be able to succeed at once, presumably it should have something to do with the strength of her soul.
However, this was the first step. Later, Nan Ge carefully added a few strokes to the rune to hide the fluctuation of spiritual power on it.
Then he drew a delicate pattern on the side with one stroke here and another. When he stopped writing, the shadow of the spell could no longer be seen in the pattern on it. He just thought it was a delicate and complicated pattern.
"I didn't feel it before, but it really feels different after you finish painting. Although I still don't know what the pattern is, it's very beautiful."
"Thank you, sister, for your compliment, but it's not over yet. I have to embroider it after drawing the pattern."
"Do you want me to help you? My embroidery work is not bad, so much, I don't know when you will finish embroidery."
"I don't need it this time. It's my first work here. I want to finish it by myself. And I'm used to making female red at home, so I should be able to finish it before dark."
Then, Nan Ge quickly embroidered with Nie Xiaoqian's stunned expression. It is no exaggeration to say that his hands are almost dancing.
Nie Xiaoqian covered her mouth, "Nan Ge, does your family run an embroidery workshop? This is too exaggerated."
"It wasn't so fast at first. I think it's because I'm a ghost now, so my fingers are more flexible. It's just like when we walked before, we had to rest after walking a few steps. It's not like now, we can fly."
"It seems right to say that." Nie Xiaoqian thought for a while, they are not human anymore, and the embroidery is almost fine, after all, even the species has changed.
Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian was successfully fooled by her, Nan Ge continued to work at ease.
As for what if Nie Xiaoqian finds out that her embroidery speed is still the same as before?
Hey, there are differences between people, and there are differences between ghosts and ghosts. Isn't that normal? It's okay.
Finally, before the sun set in the evening, Nan Ge was completely finished, and Nie Xiaoqian could see what she was doing.
"Is this...the flag?"
"Yes, it's the flag."
"What are you doing this for? Even if you're killing time, you don't need to do this. Embroidered handkerchiefs are pretty good, and you can use them." Nie Xiaoqian really didn't know what use it would be to make a flag.
"I've said it all, so I won't tell you. I can only say that this is a gift for grandma."
Hearing Nan Ge mention grandma, Nie Xiaoqian's face flashed with panic, and she was relieved when she looked up to see the sunshine outside, then she held Nan Ge's hand tightly, and said anxiously to her, "Nan Ge, grandma is cruel and merciless." , It’s not something we can easily please. You listen to me, we just need to complete the tasks she gave us, and we usually stay far away from her.”
"Sister, don't worry, since I plan to do this, I'm sure. I'm going to make a living under my grandma in the future, so I naturally want to make it easier. Anyway, I'm giving a gift, even if I fail, my grandma will not punish me. I Promise you, if I fail this time, I will never do it again, okay?"
With that said, Nan Ge shook Nie Xiaoqian's hand fawningly and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll go with you when the time comes. I've been with grandma for so long, so I know her well. It would be best if this matter succeeds, and I can explain it to you in case grandma gets annoyed. .”
Although Nie Xiaoqian agreed, she didn't have any hope in her heart.He just hoped that it would be like what Nan Ge said, that even if he couldn't please grandma, he wouldn't make her angry.
This girl, why didn't she see that she was so bold before.
As night fell, Nan Ge and Nie Xiaoqian stood respectfully in front of the locust tree. Against the backdrop of the huge canopy, they looked extremely weak, as if they could be blown by even a gust of wind.
"Tell me, what can you do with me?" A burst of black air burst out from the tree center, turning into an old woman with a gloomy face.
Nie Xiaoqian plucked up her courage and was about to speak, but Nan Ge took the lead.
"Go back to grandma, I heard from my sister before that some students who are coming to Beijing to catch the exam will pass by here soon."
"That's right. Why, don't you go back on your word and don't want to take blood for me?" Following her words, the demon power on her body also pressed towards Nan Ge.
Nan Ge couldn't take it anymore, his body couldn't help shaking.
"Nan Ge didn't dare. I just heard from my sister that Lanruo Temple is located in a remote place. Not everyone can find this place to rest. Every year, one or two people are always missed. Therefore, I thought of a way, hoping to share some of my worries for grandma. .”
Hearing what she said, grandma was a little interested, and the demon power was withdrawn accordingly.
"Tell me about it. If you say it well, your benefits will be indispensable."
In the past, there were indeed some fish that slipped through the net, and grandma felt distressed when she thought about it.
Just like what Nan Ge said, this ghostly place is so out of the way that hardly anyone comes here.Since such a reputation came out, there were fewer people, and only during the period when they went to Beijing to rush for the exam could they meet some students from other places.
It would be great if I could catch them all in one go, and a cruel light flashed in my grandma's eyes.
