The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the mid-year festival in the yang world, and it is also the most solemn festival in the underworld - the Ghost Festival. www.biquge.info The street was particularly lively on this day, and in order to be able to make an appointment with the female gentleman in the school on this day, I was pulled out by Uncle Ma Mian again. Although it was not too late, there was still a long queue in front of us, and the lady's maid, Aunt Xiao Nian, shouted one by one: "Mr. No. 12's invitation failed." Mr. 13, please, hey, wait, the next one - Meng Xiaoshi. In this way, Uncle Ma Mian successfully inserted me in the queue, and there was a complaint behind him: "This is not fair, why should Ma Mian hold Xiaoshi and go through the back door." "Yes, yes, I knew I was also asking Xiaoshi for help. "Don't look for the street when it's time to look for it, we're going to go to Hades to complain." ”...

"Okay, okay, all Sanla, my young lady is waiting for Xiaoshi. Wait until next year. Aunt Xiaonian entered the house and brought snacks and tea: "Mr. has been waiting for you for a long time, come on, eat some snacks first." ”

"Hey, thank you, Aunt Xiaonian. ”

The beauty sitting dignified opposite is naturally the female gentleman who teaches piano arts, named Su Xiaoxiao, and I call her Aunt Xiao Xiao. It is said that Aunt Xiao Xiao was the first of the four beauties in the capital when she was in the world, but when she was in the prime of her cardamom years, she was accidentally taken by the mediocre prince in her 60s when she was playing, and she wanted to be accepted as a concubine. What woman doesn't have the dream of being a hero and a beauty, and how can a young girl in her youth want to marry such an old man. So the night before the wedding, Su Xiaoxiao committed suicide by burning charcoal in his house. went to the underworld to be a comfortable beauty. Aunt Xiao Xiao herself only sat in a painting, with endless sorrow between her eyebrows, endless splendor in her eyes, and a cherry mouth was a peach blossom to be released in early spring, and a smile was not a surprise that normal people could bear. She has many admirers in the underworld, and Uncle Ma Mian is one of them. At this moment, he sat at the table, like a pug wagging his tail and begging for food.

"Xiao Shi has grown a little taller recently. Aunt Xiao Xiao smiled, no matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

"En. Granny Meng also said that I had grown taller. I just lost a tooth today, and Granny Meng said that if I lost my tooth, I would give it to her, and she would help me throw it on the roof, and I could grow taller. She also taught me how to sew small cloth bags to hold my teeth. You see, I also embroidered my head. I handed the small cloth bag I had sewn to Aunt Xiao Xiao to see. And Aunt Xiao Xiao looked at my embroidered "own avatar", and the corners of her mouth twitched obviously: "Hehe, sure enough, sure enough, it is, the style of the underworld." After chatting for a while, Uncle Ma Mian tugged on my sleeve under the table, and I immediately understood: "Ah, by the way, Aunt Xiao Xiao, Uncle Ma Mian wants to ask you to go shopping-" "Hiss-" I heard Uncle Ma Mian's inhalation, and suddenly reacted: "Ah, I forgot, Uncle Ma Mian asked me not to say that he wanted to ask you out." Feeling the strong cold air exuded by Uncle Ma Mian, I immediately changed to a brighter smile: "Aunt Xiao Xiao, let's go shopping." ”

Uncle Ma Mian hasn't talked to me much since I said it just now, and a look at me is a complaint that I can't bear. I stepped to the side, and then I saw my favorite white cloud cake, which had just come out of the pot steaming hot, and made a silent invitation to me. When I broke free from the temptation, I discovered something important - Uncle Mamian and they were gone. Although the prefecture is not small, I know almost all the people in every family, and even if I get lost with them, it is not a big deal. But my instincts told me that Uncle Ma Mian must have deliberately not called me. While I was greeting the people around me, wandering all the way, the crowd gradually became scarce, but there was a gorgeous high-rise building in front of me, Uncle Ma Mian said, this is the only pawnshop in the underworld, it is a gorgeous appearance but dangerous place inside. Is it really a dangerous place? Uncle Ma Mian's words are not implausible, but he always comes in with his own emotional point of view. And, for some reason, I always wanted to go in and have a look. Before I knew it, I walked in.

The shelves on both sides were filled with all kinds of items, including beginner manuals for cultivating immortals, inner pills for spirits, bottles and jars of poison or medicine, and even all kinds of souls...... Behind the counter sat an old man with white hair and white beard, looking down and counting the accounts, and as soon as he approached, a strong smell of ginseng came to his face. I grabbed the edge of the counter, looked at him and smiled: "Grandpa, you are ginseng changer." The old man seemed to be frightened: "Oh, I'm scared to death." You kid, don't you walk silently!. "As soon as the emotions are excited, it exudes a stronger ginseng flavor, which is refreshing. Who said that there is danger here, is it obviously a good place to replenish the body?

"What are you going to be?" he looked at me.

"I don't have anything to do, I just come in and have a look. As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him suddenly closed. The old man said in a vicious tone, "Joke! Today, if you want to leave here, you can't leave anything behind. “

"Ahh “

"Leave the soul or the body, the choice is yours. I'm afraid that others will say that I am bullying children, so I don't want you to do all of it, just keep some of it, and I will use it to warn future generations. “

"But I really don't—hey, by the way, is it just a part of the body?"

"Uh-yes. “

"I just lost a tooth today. “

”......“

"Here, here. I hurriedly took out my beloved little cloth bag from my bosom and handed it to the old man, fearing that he would regret it.

He looked down at the small cloth bag with disgust, and said, "What is embroidered on it?

"It's my avatar. You see, here's my eyes, here's my nose, here's my mouth......"

"Cough cough cough, cough ......" The old ginseng essence seemed to be choked by his own saliva: "Cough, even if it is so, cough cough, then I can't-"

"I took it. A deep male voice came, not loud but as if it had traveled far away.

"......" The old man's eyes widened like little mung beans, turned to the direction of the stairs leading to the second floor, and saluted, his voice excited: "Young master, how are you, why did you come down in person." ”

On the wooden staircase, a young man in a long black robe walked down slowly, with a fine black jade pendant hanging from a belt embroidered with dark red patterns around his waist, and there was no other decoration on his body. Further up is the face that is hard to find words to describe. Unlike the pale faces of the rest of the underworld, his skin is a little wheat-colored, and his facial features are all ingenious works. The side face is the steep splendid mountains and rivers, and the front face is the vast stars in the sky. accidentally met his eyes, and there seemed to be thousands of years of legends hidden in his eyes, which he couldn't see clearly or guess. The fleeting dark red color adds to the fiery temperature, and the story blossoms, melting the desolation and tragedy of several lifetimes. In a trance, I felt that my memory had been invaded, and I hurriedly calmed down and came to my senses. This man can hypnotize and read people's minds. Sure enough, it's a dangerous character. Seeing that I came to my senses, the man seemed to hook the corners of his mouth slightly. I couldn't see how he went, so he moved it in front of me: "I'll take this tooth." ”

"Oh. Shall I go, then—" In front of a person with a strong aura, a weak person has an innate acumen, and at that moment, I want to leave that place.

"What's the hurry? I took this tooth, and I took this cloth bag. So, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, I just want to go home now. "To express my desire to go home, I mustered up the courage to meet his gaze. His eyes narrowed slightly: "There is no pawnshop in me, and there is absolutely no reason to only enter and not leave." Since it's a fair deal, I'll wear this jade plaque honestly, don't let others see it, otherwise—" He took off the jade plaque from his neck, and put it on my neck while threatening, frowning slightly, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes, which I couldn't understand. The old ginseng next to him seemed to be frozen, his big eyes were shining with tears, and his mouth trembled for a long time without saying a word. Everything is so weird......

It just happened, just right, fortunately, there was a knock on the door outside at this time: "Shopkeeper Mo, Shopkeeper Mo, is Xiaoshi here with you, she is still young and ignorant, if there is any collision, you must not worry about her, there is a loss or something, and the king of Hades will come to explain to you at that time." Don't shopkeeper, open the door. “

"Your name is Xiaoshi?"

"Well, my name is Meng Xiaoshi. Meng Po is my mother-in-law. ”

"Good, little rock. Remember, my name is Jiang Mata."

"I don't call—well, whatever you say, it's just that Uncle Mamian has come to pick me up, can I go first?" asked cautiously.

"Old Mo, open the door for her. The man gestured to the old ginseng.

"Hey, okay. Xiaoshi, come on, come on, grandpa will open the door for you. "I can't understand the change of attitude before and after, but now I can't manage so much.

When Uncle Ma Mian saw me coming out, he pulled me away in a hurry, and thanked me: "Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you for being old." I'll thank you next time I have the chance. ”

The old ginseng spirit glanced at me, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Xiaoshi, you often come to play." It's okay to have something inappropriate. "Uncle Ma Mian listened and pulled me to go faster. After walking a long way, Uncle Ma Mian stopped and scanned my whole body: "Did the old man bully you?"

"No, no. ”

"Then what did you do, how could he let you out if you didn't do anything? I almost went to Hades. ”

"Alas!" I sighed deeply, as if I had grown up several years old all of a sudden: "I took my teeth as a treat, Granny Meng said that the teeth must be thrown to the roof to grow taller, and I am afraid that they will not grow taller in the future." "For the first time in my life, I felt tired and deeply worried about my future.

“......”

I went to the pawnshop, Uncle Ma Mian naturally told Granny Meng as it was, and when I got home, Granny Meng hurriedly pulled me in front of me: "You kid, why are you so disobedient, how many times have I told you, don't go to the pawnshop, don't go, you still went." It's okay, otherwise you'd be crying. ”

"Granny Meng, what should I do if I don't grow taller in the future?"

Granny Meng laughed all of a sudden: "It's okay, isn't it just a tooth, I'll just throw it away for you when it falls out in the future." “

There is no pawnshop......

"Young master, I saw that the cinnabar mole on the back of the girl's neck is exactly the same as you, young master. After waiting for so many years, the person who saved you finally appeared. It's just that I really didn't expect her to be so small-"

At this time, Jiang Yu looked at the "exorcist avatar" on the cloth bag with a little entanglement, and looked into the distance silently: "She, she is afraid of me......"
