Standing in the ghost city of Yin and Yang, the ghost city of Xudu, belongs to the world during the day, and belongs to the underworld at night, and now the sun is not yet noon, so now this place still belongs to the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Ziqiu and Rongyue came out of the ghost temple, it was a blue brick alley, and when they walked out of the alley, it was a wide old street, Rongyue held Ziqiu's arm, "How long have we not gone shopping like this?" "I don't remember, it seems like it's been a long time, and it doesn't seem like it's been long!" ”。

Walking in the bustling crowd, there is a long-lost sense of intimacy, Li Ziqiu is in front of a candy man stall, "Come on a sugar man, you mouse candy man is good!" Rong Yue pinched Li Ziqiu's ribs, "I hate it, I want this!" Rongyue said, pointing to a phoenix candy man.

"One eldest son two, son, you can have one too!" The old man who blows the candy man has a smile on his face. "Oh, yes, I'm going to have this mouse!" After Li Ziqiu finished speaking, he remembered that he had no money. Rongyue has already taken the sugar man in her hands. Blinking and looking at Li Ziqiu, "Pay, what's wrong?" "No money! "Ah, I forgot, what can I do?" , Rongyue opened her mouth wide and looked at Ziqiu.

The old man looked at the two young men and smiled, "Childe doesn't have to mind, just take it!" How could Li Ziqiu take people and things at will, and the old man should be blessed, Li Ziqiu took out a piece of thousand-year-old poria from the Baoyu space, "This is what I picked in the mountains before, give it to you!" The old man didn't know about it, he just thought it was an ordinary wild fruit, and he was not polite, so he took it easily, "Then thank you son." Li Ziqiu instructed, "This thing is not easy to be contaminated with fireworks, you can eat it raw when you are hungry!" ”。

The old man thanked Li Ziqiu, continued to sell his sugar man, and when he was hungry and remembered the Poria given by Li Ziqiu, he took it out and ate half of it, the taste was slightly jerky, but it was not unpalatable. When they returned home in the evening, the rest was steamed by the old wife, and the old couple ate it with other food. Later, the two old men were in good health, the old woman lived to be over 80, and the old man lived to be 120 years old before he died without illness, which can be regarded as a good fate.

Li Ziqiu conjured up some broken silver and put it in Rongyue's hand, "These should be enough!" Rongyue said playfully, "It's not enough for you to change again!" ”。 Li Ziqiu and Rongyue walked along the old street, the two stopped in front of the store from time to time, Rongyue bought some small gadgets, Li Ziqiu helped to take them, there were a lot of snacks on the old street, the two of them ate a little bit of this, and they all tasted it all over again, and before they knew it, they were already slanting westward.

The pedestrians on the street hurriedly got up, and the shops began to close one after another, and Rongyue said, "Let's go back too, shall we?" "It's still early, why is everyone going home?" An old woman passing by heard Li Ziqiu's words and asked, "Are you from other places?" Rongyue said, "Yes, old woman, how do you know?" The old woman smiled and said, "As soon as the sun sets, this is the underworld, and the street will become a ghost market, so you better go back quickly!" ”。

After the old woman finished speaking, she left, and Rongyue said, "Let's go quickly!" "We're not afraid of ghosts, what are we doing in such a hurry to go back, just to see the ghost market in the underworld!" Li Ziqiu became interested.

Li Ziqiu and Rongyue were still wandering on the street, and finally in a shop that sold clothes, Rongyue finally chose a red yarn dress with satisfaction, and when Rongyue finished paying the bill and walked out of the store, the shopkeeper hurriedly closed the door of the store.

Li Ziqiu and Rongyue walked out of the store, the street was empty, and there were more stalls on the ground in the dark place, looking at the yarn dress Rongyue held in her hand, "The clothes are good, show me at night?" "Do you like it? Rongyue asked, tilting her head.

"I like it, you just wear this dress at night, and it would be better if you danced!" Li Ziqiu said with a smile. Rongyue knocked Li Ziqiu on the arm, "Pervert, you will be cranky!" ”。 On the street in the distance, the sound of suona suddenly came to mind, and a team of people came over.

Li Ziqiu and Rongyue felt curious, and walked over there, it turned out to be a pair of welcoming relatives, in front of them was a team of blowing people, lined up in two rows, in the back was a servant holding a solemn avoidance card, a six-person sedan chair followed behind, and next to the sedan chair walked a wedding lady wearing flowers and branches.

The sky has completely darkened, and then the sky has turned miserable white, and there are more pedestrians on the street, it doesn't look much different from the daytime. A chubby aunt next to her answered, "Aren't you also in the underworld, what's so strange about this, this bride is blessed!" ”。

Rongyue turned her head to her aunt and asked, "What's the blessed method?" The aunt looked at Rongyue's delicate face and paused for a moment, "You don't look like the underworld, you better hide, if a beautiful girl like you is taken by the official, it will be a big trouble!" ”。

Rongyue was naturally not afraid, and asked, "You haven't said it yet, how can the bride be blessed?" The fat aunt said, "You don't know, this girl has just died for three days, and now she is going to marry the judge here, I heard that this judge Li turned out to be a person from the Hades Palace, and the bride married to the official's wife, and the things before her death are over, what a good thing!" ”。

A woman in a blue satin dress next to her interjected, "What's good, if it weren't for Judge Li's fancy, she wouldn't have died, but it's a pity that a good marriage!" Rongyue couldn't see the marriage being broken up, so she asked, "Auntie, what's going on?" ”。

The aunt in Tsing Yi turned her head and left, unwilling to say more, Rongyue asked the fat aunt again, the fat aunt was easy to speak, "The bride is the daughter of Sun Yuanwai in the west of the city, she is fourteen years old this year, I heard that it is better to be a kid from a family surnamed Dou in the east of the city, but Sun Yuanwai did not agree, and the bride drank the medicine and died." ”

Rong Yue asked, "What did the aunt mean when she said that marriage was good?" The fat aunt pouted, "What a good marriage, I heard that the kid of the Dou family reads well, but the poor in the family are almost unable to open the pot, and they can't eat when they study, just marry in the past, can they have a good life?" ”。

Rong Yue said, "What does that have to do with the judges?" The fat aunt was reluctant to say, "Don't listen to her nonsense, what can it have to do with Judge Li!" ”。 After saying that, he turned around and left.

Rong Yue pulled Li Ziqiu's arm, "Let's take a look?" Li Ziqiu smiled, "I knew you were going, let's go, let's go directly to the judge's house!" ”。

The two of them walked towards the place where the sedan chair had just come from, where the lights were bright, and a pair of big red lanterns hung at the door, but there was no need to ask for directions. Walk closer, and then look, it turns out that there is a tall official office, the door is standing in black, with red silk tied around the waist, all of them are smiling, a housekeeper-like person greets guests at the door, and there are guests riding horses and sedan chairs, coming here.

Li Ziqiu said to Rong Yue, "The underworld is the same as the world, big families marry relatives, and there are many guests, should we bring some gifts over?" Rongyue said, "Don't bring it!" Maybe this is a bad official, let's go to the back house and wait, if it's really this judge who is making trouble, you can't ignore it! ”。

Li Ziqiu pulled Rongyue to hide in the miserable white moonlight and walked towards the official office.
