Chapter 159: Old Alley
The dimmed interior of the shop fell silent.
Old Yang Tou sat at the table and looked at Lian Ge with a smile.
Lian Ge, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, also set his eyes on the old man.
On the side, Gu Xiaoying, who roughly guessed what was happening, didn't say anything, and sat quietly next to Lian Ge, staring at the table next to him, the table and chair left behind after the old Yang's figure disappeared.
“...... Thank you, sir, for fulfilling my last wish, I can't repay it, thank you. ”
Old Yang Tou stood up from his seat, bowed his head and said.
"This bowl of wontons should be regarded as a reward, it is delicious. Smiling slightly, Lian Ge got up and said,
"Dust to dust, dust to dust, since the obsession has disappeared, you should also go down, old man. ”
Hearing this, Lao Yang Tou first nodded, and then showed a hint of hesitation on his face,
"Sir, I wonder if I will be able to see my wife and children after I go down?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Lao Yang Tou and didn't answer,
After a pause, Lao Yang gradually understood, and nodded again.
"Thank you, sir......"
Lian Ge nodded, and after glancing at Lao Yang's head, he took out the underworld communicator in his pocket.
"After eating your bowl of wontons, I'll give you a ride too. ”
......
“...... That day, the teacher took his humble post first and took him down. ”
After a while, the official of the prefecture appeared and took Lao Yang Tou away.
Watching the figures of the ghost cha of the underworld and the old Yang Tou disappear from sight, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at Gu Xiaoying.
"Xiaoying, let's go too. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying also stood up,
"Okay?" Gu Xiaoying leaned closer to Lian Ge's ear and asked softly.
Seeing this, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile,
"Alright. ”
In response, Lian Ge glanced at the dim shop in the night, and his eyes swept over the mottled walls and faded stickers one by one.
Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge turned around and walked towards the outside of the house with Gu Xiaoying.
"Let's go......"
Gu Xiaoying then took Lian Ge's hand.
......
Stepping out of the wonton shop, Lian Ge stretched out his hand to close the door again.
In the old alley, without the lights in the store, it has already become dim.
Turning around, Lian Ge took Gu Xiaoying and walked towards the old alley.
“...... Xiaoying, I was delayed before, now I'll take you to eat barbecue. ”
"No, the wontons are also delicious, and they have a special taste. ”
"A special taste?"
"All the flavors of life, ......"
As the figures of Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying gradually moved away, behind them, the old alleys and the small shops in the old alleys became quieter and quieter, and gradually disappeared into the night.
......
Half an hour later,
Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying returned home again.
"Click......
Pushing open the door, the lights in the living room were on, and Gu's mother appeared in front of the two.
"Are you back?"
Gu's mother, who was cleaning up the dining table, looked up at the two,
"Ate it, ate a very special bowl of ravioli. Gu Xiaoying replied.
Hearing this, Gu's mother paused,
"What's going on?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying turned her head to look at Lian Ge,
Seeing this, Lian Ge nodded to him with a smile.
Then, Gu Xiaoying said to Gu's mother,
“...... Didn't you say you were going to come back late, so I'll go out to dinner with Lian Ge......"
......
In the living room, Gu Xiaoying and Gu's mother were talking with interest, listening, Lian Ge saw this, walked to the side and sat down on the sofa.
Glancing at it, Gu Hanguo was not there, and it seemed that he had not returned from the hospital yet.
“...... Xiaoge, I'm done with this meal, do you want to eat more?"
While listening to Gu Xiaoying's narration, Gu's mother, who was busy with her life, shouted at Lian Ge.
The words fell, and before Lian Ge could speak, Gu Xiaoying on the side responded,
"Mom, I want to eat some more ......"
Hearing this, Gu's mother looked at Gu Xiaoying angrily,
"Ask Xiaoge, what are you talking about? ”
"Mom......" Gu Xiaoying couldn't help shouting.
......
"Master, I'm not hungry, you can eat. Lian Ge answered, and at the same time took out the wordless book that had not been engraved before.
"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”
The little mouse crouched on his shoulder and barked twice.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge glanced at the mouse and couldn't help but smile,
"Please give it some food. ”
Hearing this, Gu Mu, who also noticed the guinea pig, smiled and nodded.
"Row ......"
......
The mouse's meal plate was set aside, and when the mouse saw this, he quickly jumped off Lian Ge's shoulder and began to fight around the food plate.
At the table, Gu Xiaoying also ate again,
"Mom, where's my dad?"
While eating, Gu Xiaoying asked out loud,
"I'm still in the hospital, your dad has a major surgery to do recently, and he probably won't be able to go home before the operation. Gu's mother responded,
"I'll have to bring your dad some food later, so you two don't have to wait for us, let's rest early." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded and continued to eat.
......
Sideways, living room, coffee table.
Lian Ge spread out the wordless book again, took the previous bowl, and poured some transparent liquid from the glass bottle again.
Evenly smear the pages of the wordless book with a transparent liquid, wait until the handwriting on it is visible, then pick up the pen and engrave it page by page.
......
Time passes,
After a simple meal, Gu's mother packed some meals and stepped out of the house again.
Gu Xiaoying also held the rice bowl, sat down next to Lian Ge, and watched with interest.
Under the smearing of Lian Ge page by page, engraved and copied,
On the left and right sides of the wordless book and the blank pages, the handwriting runes appeared one after another.
......
Again, the nib of ink ran out, and Lian Ge paused to copy and dip some ink.
On the side, Gu Xiaoying, who had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, supported her chin and asked out loud at the right time,
“...... Brother Lian, I actually have a question for you. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at Gu Xiaoying,
"Why don't you just make a copy?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and retracted his gaze,
"Because there will be some differences. Lian Ge picked up the pen again, and while engrave the pen, he answered the sentence.
Under the eye of the sky, on the engraved page, each rune is lingering with a trace of mana, although not so that every rune can work, but the entire engraved book is superimposed, and the mana contained in it is enough to suppress evil spirits and exorcise ghosts, and at the same time, the mana lingering on each rune contains the true meaning of the relevant runes,
This is the 'true scripture'.
On the side, Gu Xiaoying nodded when she heard this, didn't ask any more, and looked at Lian Ge quietly as before, either to see Lian Ge's movements, or to see Lian Ge's focused expression.
......
Time passed slowly.
In the living room, the lights are bright, and outside the window, the night is getting darker.
Lian Ge continued, sketching and copying the contents of the wordless book.
"Click......
The door of the living room opened from the outside again, and Gu's mother, who went to deliver food to Gu Hanguo, returned home.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't you say you two don't have to wait?"
"No......" Gu Xiaoying yawned and shook her head, "Lian Ge, he has some things to do." ”
Hearing this, Gu Mu nodded, glanced at Lian Ge, who was concentrating on the pen, and closed the living room door with a little caution.
"Let's rest early when you're done. After whispering, Gu's mother didn't bother anymore and walked into the bedroom.
......
After another moment, Lian Ge finally stopped his writing.
"Smack. ”
Putting down the pen, closing the wordless book, and looking at the pages of paper with runes engraved on the table, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
The content of the wordless book has been copied, which also means that Lian Ge has carefully read his ancestor's understanding of some of the runes on the wordless book.
