Most of the temple fairs in Nanshan Pudu Temple are held once every two years, and the time of the event is entirely determined by the local officials, and most of them pray for good weather and peace for the country and the people.

The mountain roads of Nanshan are paved with stone slabs, and there are also one or two pavilions built on the side of the mountain stream, and the whole corridor is antique, like a fairyland outside the world. Along the mountain road, there are several porridge shops scattered to perform the ritual of almsgiving. There are many small merchants inside and outside the temple selling some gadgets. Zhou Ai dragged me through the crowd and went straight to the incense burner.

"Granny Zhuang!" Zhou Ai waved his hand, and I looked in the direction, and it turned out to be Uncle Zhuang's mother. Granny Zhuang turned around and looked at me while greeting Zhou Ai, and when I walked in, Granny Zhuang asked, "Are you the young man from yesterday?" I nodded, and quickly thanked Granny Zhuang.

"Where's Uncle Zhuang?"

"He, give porridge on the mountainside!"

After chatting for a while, we went shopping again, and by the way, we bought a little incense wax from Granny Zhuang to worship the Bodhisattva. There is a singing troupe in the courtyard outside the temple, which is invited by the county, and the temple fair is held for three days, and they sing nine times, and now it is the third one, singing the Huangmei Opera "Tianxian Pei", Zhou Ai is fascinated by it.

After a while, my stomach started to get hungry, I asked Zhou Ai to wait for me here, I went to buy something to eat, but when I came back, I couldn't find Zhou Ai inside and out.

When the stage was over, Zhou Ai still didn't show up, I was anxious, and called Shen Baifeng, who asked me to go home first to discuss, and if there was no news for more than 24 hours, I would call the police.

Nanshan is some distance from home, not to mention a large section of mountain road. At sunset, almost all the vendors went home, the huge mountain forest, I was the only one walking, the corridor was close to the mountain stream, and on the other side was a stone cliff, and the moonlight could shine in from the top of my head, so that I could not reach out and lose my fingers.

Zhou Ai's sudden disappearance made me feel terrible, how could such a shrewd girl disappear so easily? Besides, she is so old, it is unlikely that she will be abducted and trafficked in public, where did she go......

The chirping of cicadas in summer added some life to this cold night, and the sound of flowing water in the mountain stream made me feel a lot more relieved, at least not a dead silence. About the point of walking to the mountainside, gradually moving away from the mountain stream, the trees are verdant, the moonlight has been torn into pieces, scattered everywhere, and a stone road is very mottled.

There are also a lot of toads at night in the summer, and I have to turn on the lighting function of my phone for fear of stepping on them. Suddenly, I heard a "click" sound behind me.

I turned off the lights on my phone, quickly ran behind a big tree and hid, the footsteps followed, I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could tell it was a girl, could it be the woman from yesterday?

I slipped my phone into my pocket, clenched the talisman paper, and prepared for a terrible battle if she stayed here.

The figure slowed down the hill and was about to get out of my sight, when suddenly, the phone rang at an inopportune time, and it was a problem.

I pressed the shutdown button and hung up the phone, the figure turned around and walked quickly towards me, I took out a fire talisman, chanted a spell, just threw it out, the man hurriedly flashed, took out something and blocked, the spell seemed to hit a layer of glass, immediately wrapped the man, and instantly disappeared into nothing.

"Liu Yi, you're going to die!" It's Zhou Ai! She walked over to me angrily and pinched me, "I just want to scare you, do you need to throw the talisman directly!" She stomped her foot and threw away half of the defensive talisman, which Shen Baifeng had drawn for her before.

I ignored her anger and got angry at her directly: "Didn't I tell you not to run around! I've been looking for you for hours! Where have you been!" Zhou Ai was stunned by my yelling, I had been with her for so long, this was the first time I got angry, I continued, "You know that just because you didn't say goodbye, those masters on the mountain are about to be driven crazy by me, and they are looking for you everywhere! You still have the heart to scare me!?"

Zhou Ai's eyes were red, she wanted to speak and stopped, turned around and wiped her tears and ran down the mountain, I shouted: "Slow down! There is no light on the road!" and hurriedly followed, almost two meters away, I followed her quietly, holding the mobile phone to illuminate while looking at who had just called.

I dialed back: "Brother, what's wrong?" It was Shen Baifeng on the phone, he was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and I told him that Zhou Ai had been found, and we were walking down the mountain.

Ai was wiping her tears all the way, I knew I shouldn't be so fierce to her, but she did too much this time, and left without saying a word, it's okay if nothing happens, what should I do if something happens?

It didn't take long for us to reach the bottom of the mountain, and the intersection was Shen Baifeng's white car, he was leaning against the window playing with his mobile phone, and only turned around when he heard the voice, and saw Zhou Ai wiping his tears and asked, "What's wrong?" Liu Yi bullied you?" Zhou Ai shook his head and went directly into the back seat.

I didn't say a word and got into the co-pilot. Needless to say, Shen Baifeng can probably guess what's going on, and he has been comforting all the way and saying that he is back.

Zhou Ai looked out the window with red eyes all the way, and Shen Baifeng turned to me and said: "Maybe the little girl has met some chance, she has no communication tools, and she doesn't have time to tell you, when the time comes, you can pick a mobile phone with her, and it will be convenient to contact you in the future." ”

I said "um", Shen Baifeng asked Zhou Ai what happened again, Zhou Ai swallowed her saliva, saying that when she was listening to the play, someone came over and asked her how much the things in her bag were worth, Zhou Ai had nothing in her backpack, only the two dolls with starving ghosts. She didn't reply, and the man told her that he had it too, and if he was interested, he would go to the backyard to talk.

"So you went with him?" I was on fire for a while, how could I be called by others? How dangerous!

Zhou Ai turned his head and didn't look at me, Shen Baifeng poked me in the elbow: "The temple fair is full of people, it's going to the backyard and not the grove." "I crossed my hands and turned my head, I haven't gone down yet!

Zhou Ai went on to say that as soon as the man grabbed it with his bare hands, her doll appeared in his hand, and he drew a rune on the back of the doll, and the doll walked around on the ground.

"What else did he tell you?" asked Shen Baifeng.

"He said I was very talented, and asked me if I wanted to learn ghost tricks from him, and that he had something there that could change my life and allow me to live an ordinary life. Zhou Ai turned his head as he spoke, his long eyelashes flickering, and he couldn't see what kind of emotion he was in his eyes.

I know that Zhou Ai's heart is moved, I have been friends with Zhou Ai for a long time, I know how much she longs for friends, how much she longs for a normal life, I can't tell what it's like, although I'm not like Zhou Ai, I can make friends casually, but it's easy to get a daughter, it's hard to find a confidant, she and I are the same kind of person.

"Washing the marrow?" Zhou Ai nodded, Shen Baifeng's face was a lot uglier, and said, "Xiao Ai, you have to think about it carefully, this kind of life-changing technique like marrow washing may be beneficial to you, but for the person who casts the spell, it is a felony, and it is a crime of not entering reincarnation and not being able to live forever." A person is willing to pay so much for you, first, you are worth more than the price, and second, this is a scam at all. ”

There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky, everyone understands this truth, of course Zhou Ai also understands, if she was stupid, maybe she would have left with that person a long time ago, and I would not have seen her.

"Well, Brother Shen, I remember. ”

Seeing that Zhou Ai no longer wanted to leave, I also breathed a sigh of relief, we didn't speak, Zhou Ai's eyes were still red, Shen Baifeng saw the two of us like this, and told Zhou Ai that I was so angry because I was worried about her. The persuasion failed, but we still didn't say a word. After sending Zhou Ai back, the two of us also returned to the villa.

Shen Baifeng said that I was vigorous and impetuous, not long after I arrived home, I asked me to meditate, and I went into the kitchen to tinker with supper, my mood could not be calm for a long time, even if I meditated, it did not make me calm down, I went out of the yard, sat in the mountains and forests, the breeze blew for a while, and the irritability in my heart retreated a lot, and then I entered the state.
