Chapter 5: Sleep on Your Feet
"It's a nice house, even if it's haunted, I'm reluctant to move out. Zheng Hao asked with a smile.
"Not bad. Chen Xiu nodded slightly.
At this time, Shuyan brought a plate with two ingots of silver on the plate.
Zheng Hao asked and held the plate and said, "This is a little bit of a slight meaning, please accept it from Daochang Chen." ”
"Let's wait until the demons are removed. ”
Chen Xiu waved his hand, found a futon to sit down, and put on a meditation posture and did not move.
Zheng Haowen secretly admired, not greedy for money, there are indeed some true ways.
After an hour, the sky was getting dark, Chen Xiu was still meditating, Zheng Haowen and Shuyan were not cultivators, and they couldn't stand it anymore.
Zheng Haowen took out a comic book and read it with relish, and after a few glances at Shu Yan, his face turned red and almost dripped blood.
Chen Xiu seemed to be meditating, but he was actually playing with the bamboo slip of 'True Qi Cultivation Xuanti', and he was also a little bored, and when he saw Zheng Haowen reading, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
"It's the most popular small painting in the academy, do you want to see it?" Zheng Hao asked a man who knew how to look at it, and handed over the album.
Chen Xiu glanced at it and saw that it was some unclothed women who were making a gesture, and said with a smile: "Don't look now." ”
"If you don't look at the small paintings, are you waiting for love?" Zheng Hao asked jokingly.
After another half an hour, Chen Xiu was still meditating, and the master and servant next to him were fascinated by the small painting.
Suddenly, there was a gloomy voice outside, like a cry, but not like a human voice.
Zheng Haowen and Shuyan had a cold war in unison, trembling.
The master and servant looked at Chen Xiu and saw that Chen Xiu was still sitting upright.
Don't be surprised, what a Taoist priest! Zheng Haowen secretly admired in his heart.
The time for a cup of tea has passed, and the crying outside is still there.
Chen Xiu still sat upright.
Zheng Haowen was puzzled, and gently pushed Chen Xiu.
"What's wrong with the kidneys?"
Chen Xiu stretched his waist, stood up, and stretched his bones unhurriedly.
Zheng Haowen had a black line on his face, and he dared to love Daochang Chen instead of being calm, but asleep.
Shuyan also has a strange face, and he can fall asleep when he is haunted outside, so his heart is too big.
"It's coming. Zheng Hao asked in a low voice.
Without Zheng Hao asking, Chen Xiu heard bursts of crying from outside.
The cry was full of pain and despair, not like a human voice, but more like the mournful cry of a badly injured beast before it died, giving people a creepy feeling.
Chen Xiu tiptoed to the window, looked through the crack in the window, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow, walking back and forth in the courtyard.
The night was dark, the moonlight was dim, and it was impossible to see what it was from a distance.
But this thing sneaked into the hospital at night, obviously not with any good intentions.
"You stay in the house and don't go out, the little painting is put away, and I will look at it when I come back after I have destroyed the demons." ”
After Chen Xiu finished speaking, he snapped out of the room, and it was very fast.
In ancient times, Yun Chang Wen wine beheaded Huaxiong, and now I have Chen Xiu to see the painting and punish the demons.
......
The time for a cup of tea passed.
Chen Xiu hadn't come back yet, and the ghost crying outside had also been extinguished, and the silence could be heard.
What happened to the kidneys?
If Chen Xiu had won, he would have come back a long time ago.
If Chen Xiu is defeated, there will not be any movement at all.
Zheng Haowen and Shuyan glanced at each other, both full of doubts, wanting to go out to investigate, but afraid of bumping into monsters.
"Daochang Chen came for me, although I am useless, I can't stand idly by!"
Zheng Haowen muttered to himself, as if convincing himself, and then gritted his teeth, picked up the inkstone on the table and rushed out.
Shu Yan was stunned, and also picked up a bench and rushed out with the young master.
Nani?
Zheng Haowen rushed into the courtyard and saw an unbelievable scene.
I saw Chen Xiu and the long-haired ghost figure looking at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and no one made a move.
Zheng Hao asked in his heart, what did Chen Daochang mean, could it be that he was casting spells with his eyes.
At this moment, the long-haired ghost figure actually spoke: "Zheng Gongzi, why are you here!"
Zheng Haowen's voice was a little familiar, and he was stunned for a while, and then he came to his senses and said, "You...... Are you the porter Lao Qin?"
This person's surname is Qin, he is the concierge of the student dormitory, and he is an inconspicuous old man, and Zheng Haowen is not impressed.
Where would he have thought that this man would run into his yard in the middle of the night and pretend to be a ghost.
Seeing that Zheng Haowen recognized this person, Chen Xiu was also slightly relieved.
When Chen Xiu rushed out, he felt that something was wrong, it was obviously a human and not a demon, so he didn't do anything.
"It's me, I really don't know, if I knew that Childe lived here, I wouldn't dare to bother with anything. Lao Qin said embarrassedly.
"Why are you crying here in the middle of the night? I almost scared people to death, do you know?" Shu Yan saw that he was not a ghost, and he was bold and scolded angrily.
"Alas, a few days ago I pasted a fortune charm on the stone, yesterday I found that the charm was gone, I have been uncomfortable and want to cry for the past two days, I don't want to disturb Zheng Gongzi, my foolish head is really damned, I thought there was no one living in this courtyard, alas, God really doesn't want me to get rich, I'm fifty years old, and my son is thirty years old and hasn't gotten married......"
As soon as Lao Qin said it, he couldn't stop, sighed, and wiped his tears.
Chen Xiu was speechless, daring to love that the yellow talisman on the mountain wall was pasted by Lao Qin.
Zheng Gongzi tore up the fortune charm, Lao Qin thought that he couldn't make a fortune, and cried in the yard for two nights in a row, but he was mistaken for a ghost.
"If you want to get rich, you can't pretend to be a ghost, I'll fight ......" Shuyan made a gesture to beat Lao Qin.
"Tip a tael. Zheng Hao asked.
"Yes, young master. ”
Shuyan immediately took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into Lao Qin's hand.
"Xie Gongzi reward! Xie Gongzi reward!" Lao Qin hung his head busily.
"Don't cry with me. Zheng Hao asked.
"I don't cry, in the future, I will smile at my son, and I wish my son a straight up. Old Qin frowned and smiled.
After Lao Qin left, Chen Xiu and Zheng Haowen glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
"Zheng Gongzi, since it was a misunderstanding, there is no need to give the money for the law, and the trail will go back after dawn. ”
Chen Xiu looked up at the sky, there were still two or three hours before dawn, and he didn't dare to walk at night.
There are too many demons and monsters in the world, so it's safer to hurry at dawn, and when I go back, I bought the fox's book by the way.
"Daoist Chen, where is this, you and I are familiar at first sight, this bit of silver should be a friend, maybe there will be trouble in the future. Zheng Hao asked and smiled, put the silver in the tray, and had to give it to Chen Xiu.
The silver on the plate is enough for Chen Xiu and his master to live for several months, and it is very tempting for Chen Xiu, who is now difficult to eat.
"Although I have met you at first sight, I can't accept this money, and I can't collect money for doing things, and I don't charge money for doing things, this is my principle. Chen Xiu shook his head and said.
Seeing Chen Xiu's insistence, Zheng Haowen had no choice but to take back the silver.
Chen Xiu secretly regretted it, and thought that he would set a standard for door-to-door fees in the future to put an end to the situation of running in vain.
"Brother Chen is a true cultivator!" Zheng Hao asked and admired: "Then tomorrow I will invite you to eat and drink, you have to appreciate your face." ”
"Brother Zheng wants to make me a friend, and I also fell in love with Brother Zheng at first sight, so the little brother is welcome. Chen Xiudao.
People are so enthusiastic, it's not good to refuse again, it's a big deal to ask back later.
Chen Xiu also has an idea, this Zheng Gongzi's status is not low, and there must be a group of young master friends who can attract a lot of customers for himself.
"Okay, I'm happy to have a good brother today!" Zheng Haowen took Chen Xiu's hand, and then instructed Shu Yan: "Shu Yan, clean up the bed, I want to sleep with Brother Chen." ”
Mud girl......
Chen Xiu wanted to cry without tears, although he knew that Zheng Haowen had no other meaning, it was just an ordinary way for men in this world to strengthen friendship.
But Chen Xiu still couldn't accept it, and there was no suitable reason to refuse.
