The hand that catches the ghost trembles slightly

"I seem to have seen my grandfather use spells when I was young..." Uncle Jiang said, "Actually, it was decades ago, and I don't remember it clearly, but the blue light that day is still fresh in my memory..."

"That night, I was sent to my grandfather's house by my father. Thieves seemed to have broken into the house in the middle of the night... I can't remember exactly how many people there were. They seemed to have used a knife to arrest me. , Grandpa wanted to save me, that kind of blue light came out of the palm of his hand, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes."

"After so many years, I also asked grandpa later, but grandpa said that it was my hallucination..." He rubbed the corner of the family tree, "I also found this family tree in my father's room. I glanced at it and thought it was a storybook, but after my father passed away and passed on the genealogy to me, I realized that maybe grandpa was a fairy who practiced, and now he might have gone back to heaven to live a fairy life..."

Xia Yu murmured an apology.

Uncle Jiang said: "It's okay, it happened ten years ago, I don't mind it long ago."

"So——" he looked at the two girls after finishing speaking, "Why did you come to me?"

Yao Wenjing explained: "It's like this. Apart from the Jiang family, many similar families were also destroyed. We suspect that there is someone behind the scenes. We are currently investigating the situation and looking for the descendants of several families..."

Uncle Jiang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this."

Xia Yu added: "The Jiang family once entrusted me with a treasure, but it was snatched by the gangsters a few days ago. We were worried that he would prey on the descendants of the Jiang family, so we went all the way to find it."

Uncle Jiang showed embarrassment on his face: "This is going to be difficult. Grandpa has never taught me and my father any spells..."

"That's why I want to ask your opinion, do you want to go with us to a relatively safe place?"

Uncle Jiang hesitated: "Relatively safe?"

Yao Wenjing: "That place is called Lingban Office, and there are many powerful people there."

"I...I'll think about it." Uncle Jiang changed the subject, "You guys came all this way, haven't you had lunch yet? Stay and eat with us later, and I'll ask my wife to cook two more dishes."

Xia Yu and Yao Wenjing looked at each other, they could only nod their heads in agreement, and didn't mention anything else.

At last, Aunt Jiang came back from the market.

Aunt Jiang is a very ordinary peasant woman, her face is red, there are some fine lines around her eyes, and she has a simple and honest look on her body.

She was not surprised to see Xia Yu and Yao Wenjing, she greeted them with a smile, and went upstairs with the vegetables she bought.

Not long after, Uncle Jiang's youngest son came back from school and saw two older sisters at home, and immediately ran up to talk to him: "Wow! Where did these two beauties come from? One is prettier than the other!"

This may sound a bit frivolous, but when an eight-year-old child said it, the two only felt it was amused.

Xia Yu bent down and said to him: "Then tell me, who is better looking, me or the other sister?"

Hearing this, Yao Wenjing also bent down and leaned over with a kind smile on the corner of her mouth: "Which sister is more beautiful?"

The little boy looked left and right, dazzled: "Everything looks good."

Xia Yu grinned at him: "No, you have to choose one?"

This is a gift proposition. The little boy was deeply entangled. He counted who looked better with his fingers. Finally, he just picked up his schoolbag and cried to himself: "I still have homework to do! I'm leaving now!!"

Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "It's noon, where did the homework come from?"

The little boy looked aggrieved at the father who cheated his son: "Dad, didn't you hurt me?"

Uncle Jiang smoked grass cigarettes, laughing nonchalantly.

A table was set up in the supermarket, Aunt Jiang cooked a bunch of sumptuous dishes, beautiful in color and delicious in taste, Yao Wenjing and Xia Yu fought in the kitchen for a while, and finally put the dishes on the table.

The little boy licked his lips, stretched out his claws towards a piece of meat, and was pulled on the back of his hand by Uncle Jiang's chopsticks: "The guests haven't come to the table yet, why are you so greedy?!"

He withdrew his chubby little hand with a "swipe", and without crying, he smirked and said, "The piece of meat was about to fall off just now, so I'll help it, and it won't be edible after it falls to the ground."

Aunt Jiang and the child took one side of the square table, and the three of them sat down on plastic stools.

Uncle Jiang picked up vegetables for the two of them, and then gave the little boy the piece of meat that he had been coveting all this time, and then said: "Hurry up and eat, the vegetables will be cold if you don't eat any more."

Aunt Jiang's handicraft is good. Xia Yu still remembered to restrain herself, and stopped talking after eating two bowls of rice;

Just like that, Aunt Jiang kept asking them, "Are you full? Do you want to have some more food?"

The two waved their hands together: "No, no, no... I'm full, I'm full..."

If you eat it again, the stuffing will be exposed.

The little boy packed his schoolbag, bounced and went to school again, and before leaving, he blew kisses to the two girls: "Sister, are you staying at my house today? If you can't, wait until I come back, okay? My buddies come to see the beauties!"

His dad gave him a kick from behind: "Little brat, hurry up and go to school for me!"

The little boy fell like a dog and ate shit, got up very hard, turned around and stuck out his tongue at his father, made a face, and then ran away in a hurry.

Aunt Jiang went upstairs to wash the dishes, Xia Yu and Yao Wenjing wanted to help, but they pushed and dragged her downstairs.

Uncle Jiang knocked on the table: "Let's talk again."

Xia Yu understood that he was planning to make a decision.

The two sat down opposite him, and heard him say slowly: "What kind of bad guy is that, must he come back to find us?"

Xia Yu answered truthfully: "Not necessarily, but the possibility is very high."

Uncle Jiang smacked his mouth, and began to knock on the table with the knuckles of his index finger again and again, with regularity.

Xia Yu added: "And they all know spells, so you may be in danger."

Uncle Jiang asked again: "Then...you didn't protect us for nothing, did you?"

Yao Wenjing: "It's not white or not. I can directly make the decision and let you live in Kunlun Lingban! With Aunt Jiang's skills, you don't have to go out to find a job. I will directly hire her as the chef!"

Uncle Jiang started knocking on the table again: "Kunlun...that's too far away..."

Xia Yu gave Yao Wenjing a hand: "Uncle Jiang, I'm telling you the truth. We need your help. The stolen treasure once belonged to the Jiang family, so only the descendants of the Jiang family can use the treasure to its full potential." Extreme. We need you, or your child, to manipulate it..."

Uncle Jiang stopped knocking: "If that's the case, we won't go."

Xia Yu: "! Wait a minute! I haven't finished yet, this is not a necessary requirement to protect you, even if you don't want to get involved, we will still provide protection..."

"It's not because of this." Uncle Jiang shook his head, "I've lived here for half my life. The house, the fields, the job of the eldest son, and the school of the younger son are all here. Your Aunt Jiang still has her natal family here. How could you say that? Leave as soon as you leave? I opened a small store here, which can be regarded as half a self-employed household. In fact, I am still a farmer facing the loess and back to the sky. Can farmers live without the fields? Your world is too far away from me. We went and couldn’t get used to it.”

Xia Yu couldn't understand: "But... staying here might be life-threatening..."

Uncle Jiang: "You also said that it is possible, not certain... So, I want to give this possibility a try..."

Yao Wenjing couldn't understand either.

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Why did he choose to challenge the possibility that nothing will happen when he knows that there will be danger?

Xia Yu stood up: "If that's the case... I understand."

She took out eight pieces of yellow paper, arranged them in a row on the table, and looked at Uncle Jiang: "Is there any scissors?"

Uncle Jiang took out a pair of scissors and handed them to her.

Xia Yu directly swiped on the index finger of his left hand, causing Uncle Jiang to exclaim: "Hey——you are?!"

Yao Wenjing pulled him to her side: "She wants to draw a talisman, don't worry, Uncle Jiang."

Then Xia Yu dipped his right hand in the blood of his left hand, with a blue light shining on his hand, and began to draw on the yellow paper.

Uncle Jiang opened his eyes wide: "This light... this light..."

Exactly like anything he'd seen before.

Xia Yu drew very slowly, the more difficult she was, the paler her face became.

The last stroke of the last talisman fell, and she fell backwards without strength, and even though Yao Wenjing caught it, she fell into her arms.

Uncle Jiang quickly asked, "Are you all right?"

Xia Yu shook her head, struggled to stand up, picked up the scissors, and cut off the end of her hair.

With a "click", a handful of hair snapped off and turned into white fluff.And the missing strand on Xia Yu's head has grown back quickly.

Uncle Jiang was amazed and shocked.

Xia Yu divided the eight talisman papers into two, divided them into four and placed them on the table, and then put a lock of hair on each of them: "Can Aunt Jiang sew sachets? Or other small bags that can be carried around?"

Uncle Jiang: "She will, there is a sewing machine upstairs."

Xia Yu: "That's great. I've divided these eight talismans, two for one, and you ask Aunt Jiang to put them and my hair in a sachet, and everyone in the family must carry them with you, even when you sleep. Don't take it off, and don't take it off in the shower if you can, the talisman paper is waterproof."

Uncle Jiang asked, "What's the use of this...?"

Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "Things that can save lives at critical times."

Uncle Jiang didn't dare to touch her, and thanked her solemnly: "It's too much trouble for you..."

Xia Yu waved his hand: "No, just treat it as the meal money just now."

Uncle Jiang smiled and shook his head: "One size is equal to one size, how can this be confused? Drawing this talisman is tiring, isn't it? I'll let your Aunt Jiang buy a chicken for you..."

Xia Yu swallowed, but still refused: "No, we have to go back, there are other things to be busy."

Uncle Jiang: "Then I'll see you off."

Yao Wenjing said solemnly: "No need to send it off, we will find a place with few people and fly away directly."

Uncle Jiang: "Oh - you are all flying, look at my head..."

Xia Yu: "??"

What the hell?In order to prevent being photographed by satellites, the spirit world generally prohibits flying at high altitudes? ?
