Chapter 25 Seeking Ren De Ren & Half a Cake

Raising little ghosts is also called inviting gods. There are many ways to raise little ghosts. The well-known Gumanthong, baby mummy, sunny doll, amulet...the latter two sound nothing to do with raising little ghosts. According to folklore, the baby is wrapped in a sunny doll There are ghosts hidden in the head and the amulet. When traveling, some people don't understand it. If they are tricked into buying the amulet, they may be borrowed by others to pass on the disaster.

Annie is a kid who was invited by herself to improve her luck. She succeeded, and the 38-line unknown actress became a national goddess.

She didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue and fight hard, but retreated bravely. At the age of 35, she announced her retirement from filming and rarely appeared on TV screens. When she found out, she also appeared in a few scenes as an important guest, helping friends on the platform, etc., creating fireworks far away from the world. high profile.

It's not that Annie doesn't want to keep the spotlight on her, but the mainstream society is too cruel. Women, especially female stars, have no good resources to find them after the age of 35. I'm afraid that no matter how good the maintenance is, it can only give those who are more tender, Young star for the match.

Instead of staring at the camera and posting "girly" announcements and playing roles that don't match their age, it's better to stop early and leave many dreams of the goddess to the audience.

Speaking of Annie, Hu Meili couldn't hide her envy, "First of all, what I envy is her decisiveness in making decisions, not the way she achieved success. Sooner or later, troubles will happen if you go sideways."

Goblins pay more attention to cause and effect than humans, and they have to pay as much as they get. There is no such thing as something for nothing, and sooner or later what is taken away must be returned.

"Be willing to let go of the fame, fortune and wealth in front of you. Not everyone has the courage." Jiang Yuan changed the food. The small portion of casserole rice noodle tastes authentic, and the large portion in the palm can be eaten with chopsticks. It can be said to be exquisite in the casserole Boy, Mi Nian certainly never thought that one day he would put himself in a casserole like an emerald glass bowl, nor did he expect that scallops, oysters, arctic shrimp, and geoduck would "die" in the arms of Mi Nian. Not tired of fine" footsteps will never stop. "It's delicious, do you want to try it?"

Hu Meili shook her head. She has already eaten steak, shrimp dumplings, quicksand buns, bamboo shoots and pheasant chicken soup, Longjing shrimp with Jiang Yuan... Although it is just a taste, it adds up to a little bit, and I really can't... "Forget it , I’ll just eat one and taste it.”

The little fox in his heart was biting his handkerchief and crying. Jiang Yuan's food was so delicious that he couldn't help but wanted to eat a little.

"Then you put one in my bowl." Jiang Yuan handed it over.

Hu Meili quickly refused. She still wanted to die. Although she didn't know who was protecting Jiang Yuan, she was definitely not comparable to a little vixen. For the sake of her life, she kept a rational distance from Jiang Yuan. "I'll eat one, can the rest of Jinye make rounds?"

Da Jin, invisible to humans, frowned, "It's shameful to waste food, give it to me."

"Master Jin is the best." Hu Meili put the almost untouched casserole in front of Da Jin, and Da Jin had already eaten ten bowls in a row.

The master who was in charge of cooking the casserole raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yuan, and focused his eyes on Jiang Yuan's stomach. After eating so much, it didn't bulge at all, which was admirable. (It’s a small trick, the master thinks that the casserole that was taken away was eaten by Jiang Yuan.) Someone appreciates the craftsmanship, instead of standing here boredly watching people chatting with champagne and red wine, the chef who cooks is very satisfied.

"Maomao~" The shriveled body of the little child is much plumper than when I saw it for the first time, and the scorched torso has more sensuality.

Jiang Yuan's gaze moved away from the child squatting in front of him, and landed on Li Youfu and Annie. At some point, the two of them walked over. Li Youfu obviously wanted to get close to Jiang Yuan. After a little thought, he understood that he He wanted to use Jiang Yuan as a springboard to get in touch with Fang Chengyan.

The bloody smell and rancid smell that ordinary people can't smell seriously affected Jiang Yuan's desire to eat. Before Li Youfu spoke, he nodded politely and alienated, which was regarded as a greeting. He turned around and put the small casserole on the table. Go to the side when you're done.

The master who made the casserole looked at Jiang Yuan full of reluctance. It was too difficult to meet such a good diner at the dinner.

Da Jin stretched out his pink tongue and licked his lips, lazily followed Jiang Yuan's pace and left.

"Maomao~" The dry wood-like child stood up and looked at Da Jin eagerly.Holding the carbonized little hand pitifully, he really wanted to touch Dajin's soft fur, but he was too afraid to move. It was such a small ball, connected to the mother's body with a long purple-red umbilical cord on his belly. Just like any ordinary child, he has curiosity and a desire to explore the world.

Jiang Yuan took two steps back and squatted beside the child, "Do you want to pet the cat?"

The child nodded, his voice was crisp and sweet, "Think!" But with his carbonized black face, he looked very ferocious.

Jiang Yuan went to see Da Jin, Da Jin raised his head and snorted, "No." But his attitude softened quickly, he never bullied or suppressed the innocent and weak, "I have a strong energy in me, he is a little devil If you touch it, it will be directly cut into slag."

That's a bit of a pity, Jiang Yuan said: "Cats can't be touched, let me pet the fur for you." He stretched out his hand and stroked Dajin's body, and two or three soft white hairs came out. Divine beasts rarely shed hair Yes, these two are the inventory of Daikin, "Here, they feel almost the same to the touch." The same softness.

The child has a pair of round eyes, black and white, and joy is written in it at the moment. He pinches the white hair with his withered black fingers, "Wow." Yuan said, "Thank you."

During the whole process, Li Youfu and Annie shrank in horror. They probably didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be able to see it. Jiang Yuan didn't keep him when he left, and he didn't see the enthusiasm before.

The matchstick-like doll clenched its fluff and looked at Jiang Yuan's back as he walked away, puffed his mouth, and happily began to circle around his parents, shouting in a child's unique sharp voice, "Dad, Mom~"

And his parents looked at him timidly and fearfully.

···

"Some children who died young will be made into baby corpses by secret methods, and the people who raise the little ghosts will take them home and worship them." Hu Meili once went to the home of a certain master with her friends, and all kinds of things in the altars and jars seemed to have entered the medicine. In the anatomy room of the hospital, she decisively persuaded her friends not to raise little ghosts. She died with resentment at birth, and was cruelly restrained from reincarnation. "Even if you make offerings as required, so what, you are just borrowing the good luck of the rest of your life in advance, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

"Then how did Annie give birth to a kid?" Jiang Yuan unhurriedly scooped up the ice cream, the two ice cream balls of vanilla and chocolate had been poked badly by him.

"She must have made a wish to have a child, and that little devil will naturally fulfill her wish." Hu Meili giggled, she didn't have much empathy for human beings, "Wouldn't it be beautiful to seek kindness and get kindness. "

"Yes, you're right, be kind and benevolent."

Annie didn't marry a single wealthy family after her retirement, but married Li Youfu. The reason for this is unknown, maybe because she can get more wealth?Or love at first sight, with true love.After being with Li Youfu, Annie tried every means to enter the Li family's mansion and become the real master of the house. First of all, she had to live up to her own stomach. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't conceive. , she went to find the master who gave her imp.

The master said that if you burn the enshrined imp to ashes and eat the ashes, your wishes will come true...

The main feature of the charity dinner is the charity auction, and the proceeds from the auction will be used as charity donations to do good deeds. This charity dinner was initiated by the wife of a real estate tycoon and the director of the pediatrics department of the city hospital. The theme of the charity dinner was caring for children with cleft lip and palate.Hu Meili took out a set of her own pearl jewelry as an auction item. She used this set of jewelry to film an idol TV series, and her image in the drama has been talked about so far.

Jiang Yuan came here as a male companion, just a soy saucer. Seeing the intrigue, hypocrisy and hypocrisy hidden under the glamorous appearance, he felt dissatisfied.Of course, there are many truths, goodness and beauty in the world, and the opposite of the dark side also shone brightly at the dinner party, which moved him.If he hadn't been cash-strapped, he would definitely take one or two lots. It has nothing to do with the value of the lots, but the meaning behind them. He hoped that the money he paid would be used on those little angels.

It's a pity that Fang Chengyan didn't come on an occasion like today.

"Today's charity dinner is very small, how could we invite the boss of the Fang Group." Hearing Jiang Yuan muttering about Fang Chengyan, Hu Meili started to think after she finished speaking without thinking, "You know Mr. Fang?"

"I know." Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "I want to know more deeply."

Hu Meili: "..." She suddenly had the feeling that she had touched the edge of the truth. There were so many scandals before, and there were so many people behind the scenes, it was beyond her team's ability to suppress it.She has always been a single person, once the news of hidden marriage and hidden love is reported, there will be a large number of boyfriend fans.At the time of desperation, the scandal was completely suppressed, as if a tsunami hundreds of meters high evaporated in an instant, terrifying. "I took your light."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan didn't hear clearly and asked again.

"It's nothing." Hu Meili tucked her hair from her sideburns behind her ears, and said with a sweet smile that it was all right, but she didn't dare to say anything more. If she offended the master, she would like to live a few hundred years longer.

After the dinner, the car took Hu Meili home first, and then sent Jiang Yuan back to school. Jiang Yuan saw a lonely figure under the lamppost at the school gate, peaceful and lonely, it was Master Mingran.

Jiang Yuan walked over, "Hello master, do you have anything to do with me?"

With a kind face and a peaceful smile, he said, "I have already brought Jin Tian's bones out of the Li family's villa. Tomorrow will be an auspicious day for burial. I came here to tell Mr. Jiang in writing, and this relationship has been fulfilled."

"It's a good thing." Jiang Yuan's eyes fell behind Qingran, and the scorched Ye Minmin followed behind him.The burning of karmic fire is the brand of revenge. Unless the sins are redeemed, one cannot enter reincarnation, and there will be no hell ecstasy or human guardians to interfere with revenge.

Xiao Ran said: "I gave Ye Minmin a chance to pay for her sins. After kneeling in front of Jintian's tomb for ten years, I will send her to rebirth in bliss."

He died for no reason before his lifespan expired, and the Avengers had to be saved before he could enter reincarnation.

"As for the other person." Qingran's mouth twitched, saying inexplicably: "Isn't it better to live."

···

Nanzhou City was wiped a little bit by the typhoon. It has been raining for several days, and it is wet everywhere. It is humid and hot. The only way to feel comfortable is to hide in an air-conditioned room.In the middle of the summer vacation, Jiang Yuan has already opened [-] acres of land. In order to avoid the labor of "harvesting", he directly ordered various fruit tree seedlings online and planted them. After they grow into trees, there will be various fruits to eat.

After planting the last persimmon tree, Jiang Yuan stood up straight and looked around. He had already planted the endless fields, full of sense of accomplishment.

"When the persimmons grow, I'll make persimmon cakes to eat." Jiang Yuan carried a bucket and watered them with fixed root water. The seedlings were no more than the height of his calf, and he had already imagined the scene of a tree full of fruits.

Dajin was eating a pear. Fengshui pear lived up to his name. The juice was so rich that as long as he took a bite, the light juice would ooze out. Without much chewing, the pulp melted in his mouth, and the juice overflowed his mouth. The unique fragrance of pear fruit slowly drifted away as Da Jin spoke.He was looking forward to the persimmon cake Jiang Yuan said again, "Persimmons are mashed and made into cakes?"

"It's not that kind of persimmon cake, it's the persimmon cake that has been peeled and dried in the sun." Jiang Yuan, who was greedy, sat on the floor, picked up the green pear in the basket, and ate it. It was probably produced in Datian, Kunwuju. Thin and tender, it can be eaten without peeling at all.The two pear trees grew very fast in the field. The flowers bloomed and fell, and within a few days after falling, small tender fruits grew. After a while, the fruits grew and gradually became full, until now they are full of branches.

It has been a while since farming, and Jiang Yuan has figured out some characteristics of the field. Once the fruits and vegetables are planted, they will stop growing once they are ripe, and the fruit will stay at the moment when the taste is the most perfect.However, Dajin is a strict supervisor, similar to peanuts, corn, potatoes, etc., and insists on harvesting Jiang Yuan as soon as it is mature, and replanting after harvesting, and does not allow any chance to be lazy.

Because of this, Jiang Yuan will try his best to grow fruit trees.

For this reason, he even bribed Dajin and used various tropical fruits as temptations, as long as they were planted in the field, jackfruit, durian, lotus mist, pears, longan... No need to go out to buy, no need to follow the season, as long as You can eat it if you go to the ground and have a look.

how beautiful it is.

Da Jin fantasized in his mind for a while, and then decisively agreed with Jiang Yuan's approach.

"How much land do I have to plant before I can see where the previous owners of Kunwuju lived?"

Probably because he was drunk by the pears, "It's almost time..." Da Jin suddenly realized that he squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan, "He's testing me."

Jiang Yuan laughed, "Whether it's fast or slow, I have to work hard."

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will soon be able to get what you want."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Kungfu is not afraid of those who have a heart, just one word, come on."

After being busy in the field, the store was busy. Jiang Yuan was on duty every day. He was notified by Zhuzhu that a customer was coming. Jiang Yuan cleaned himself up and went out to have a look. It was raining heavily outside. Pedestrians escaped one after another.Under the heavy sky, the big pagoda tree outside Kunwu Residence remained motionless, like a mighty giant guarding the seemingly ordinary grocery store.

A person put away his umbrella and put it by the door and walked in. He was a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and he was indeed a human being.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Yuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He came to buy that half-bitten pancake.

Jiang Yuan invited the guests to sit down at the table, delivered the brewed tea to the guests, and waited for half a pancake to be delivered. Jiang Yuan asked the guest why they bought a piece of biscuit that had been eaten and only half was left.

The guest held up the teacup, and the faint tea fragrance dispelled the heat and humidity along the way. He said in disbelief: "I have been having a dream for more than a month. In the dream, an old man on crutches sighed. Sighing made me upset and irritable. I felt that the old man was pretending to be a ghost, and always avoided it. I had the same dream every day, and I felt like I was going crazy. I went to see a psychiatrist and tried various remedies. It didn’t work.”

"It should be the ancestors entrusted the dream."

"Yes, I went back to my hometown to visit the grave some time ago and met an elder, that's what she said." The guest in her 40s stroked her thinning hair and smiled sheepishly, "I, a firm materialist, engaged in It is nonsense to tell that elder directly.”

Jiang Yuan understood too well, if he hadn't been reborn, ghosts would believe that things other than science really existed, "Then why did the guests come to me?"

The guest gave a dry laugh, "Just two days ago, the dream changed, the old man disappeared, and the deceased father appeared in the dream and beat me up hard." A man in his decades was entrusted by his father in a dream, After being chased and beaten all night, even though it was a dream, she was still panicked with embarrassment.The key is that after waking up, the place where he was beaten in the dream hurts one after another, and his body is bruised and purple. "The old man who sighed was an ancestor of my family. Because I didn't come close to ask why, he angrily called my father to beat me..."

Hundreds of years ago, in the difficult years, the ancestor of the guest was a poor child with no father and no mother. He grew up eating a lot of food, and finally got a pancake before starving to death. It was the best thing he had ever eaten, but it was a pity that he ate half of the pancakes, and he was pushed a handful of pancakes and fell into the river.

"The ancestor remembered it all his life, and when he found out that your shop sold the pancakes he was thinking of, he entrusted me to buy them in his dreams." The customer came to Kunwuju after taking a high-speed train after taking a plane.

It just so happened that Xiaoman brought the biscuits, and Jiang Yuan handed the packaged biscuits to the guests, "It is what future generations should do to satisfy the wishes of the ancestors. It will be the mid-July Hungry Ghost Festival soon, and you can worship on that day." Give it to the ancestors, and pray for the protection of the descendants."

"Really?" Although the guest found Kunwuju according to the dream entrusted by his ancestors, he was still skeptical.

"Of course." Jiang Yuan smiled enigmatically, "Only those offered by later generations will be effective. Remember to burn more paper money. The world below is not much different from the world above. Without money, it is still difficult to move an inch."

"Be taught." The guest took the sesame seed cakes in his hand after paying, wondering if he should ask the knowledgeable people in his hometown to burn more paper money for the relatives below.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is coming, like today, the number of guests entrusted by the ancestors will gradually increase, and they will come to Kunwuju to buy some old lost things or things that can be used in the ghost world. With the offerings of future generations, Ghosts have a better life in the ghost world, and the corresponding ancestors will bless future generations.

Believe in God and Buddha, it is better to believe in one's own ancestors.

Gods and Buddhas have too many people to protect, so it is not like one-to-one care for their own ancestors.

Sure enough, as Jiang Yuan expected, in the next few days, the residents of Kunwu came like a cloud, ushering in many human guests. From the conversation, we can know that they were summoned by the ancestors in a dream.When I leave, I will also buy some crops produced in the field of Kunwuju, and the hoarded pumpkins, winter melons, etc. are gradually sold out.

After the typhoon passed, the temperature suddenly rose. On this day, Jiang Yuan took a piece of ice from the refrigerator and used a shaved ice machine to shave the ice. He piled it into a small bowl and poured his own jam, condensed milk, strawberries, Grapes, kiwis and other fruits, after they are made, give Dajin a bowl first, and he has long been looking at himself eagerly.

The remade one was given to Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu said thank you deeply, and gave Jiang Yuan a new order by the way, "Baiwei in Huang's mansion ordered mahogany tiger charms, and the note said that I hope you can send them over."

"Okay, I'll send it over when the sun goes down." It's been a long time since I saw Baiwei, a hedgehog with a big soccer ball, and I don't know what's going on now.

"If you go at that time, this list will be void."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan asked suspiciously with ice slices covered in peach jam in his mouth.

Zhuzhu pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose with her index finger, "It was noted on the order that it is dying, and the order needs to be delivered immediately. I won't see him after half an hour."

With a mouthful of coldness in his heart, Jiang Yuan said with a sense of loss, "Okay, I'll send it over right away."

Faced with the sadness of death, it has nothing to do with familiarity or relationship. Jiang Yuan lamented that life is impermanent, people are going to die, and monsters are going to die too.

When he came to the Huang mansion again, Jiang Yuan saw Fang Chengyan at the door who was about to go in, walked quickly a few steps and grabbed Fang Chengyan's hand, "Why are you here?"

Fang Chengyan looked at Jiang Yuan holding his hand, not willing to shake it off, "My aunt's house."

"Oh." Jiang Yuan became nervous for no reason, if he went in, would he meet his relatives? "I seem to be dressed too casually. You can see if I'm dirty. I walked over without changing the clothes I was working on the ground."

He frowned angrily. If he knew that he would meet Fang Chengyan and that the Huang mansion was Fang Chengyan's aunt's house, he might have changed into the suit that Hu Meili gave him that day.

Fang Chengyan had a gentle smile on his brows, and the indifferent sense of alienation disappeared all of a sudden, "Young and energetic, very energetic, very good. Also, the clothes are not dirty."

Jiang Yuan was dressed quite casually and refreshingly, with a light grass green T-shirt, light gray cropped shorts, and white sneakers on his feet. On the contrary, Fang Chengyan was still wearing a suit and tie during the dog days, looking at Like a perfect nobleman in a glass showcase, far away from the fireworks in the world, um, it looks quite hot.

The servants in Huang's mansion were obviously familiar with Fang Chengyan, and led them all the way into the mansion.The aunt leading the way looked at Jiang Yuan several times, wanting to ask who it was, but chose to shut up because of the hands they shook.

Indoors, it was gloomy.

Fang Chengyan's aunt, Ms. Huang, was lying on the sofa dying of breath. Next to the sofa stood Mr. Xiao Huang, who was holding a fairy in his arms. On the open space not far from the sofa, two men and two women were arguing loudly and making noise endlessly.
