Chapter 19: The Mage

Rollo looked down at the small bell he was carrying, and then at the bell hanging on the wicker, and unconsciously his whole mind was attracted by it.

She only heard the sound of "Jingle Bell-Jingle Bell-" ringing, and the bell shook slightly, and she even had the feeling that the whole world was shaking slightly with the bell!

Her eyes slowly widened, and she subconsciously wanted to see with her discerning eyes, when suddenly, a tingling pain came from her right hand, and she was stunned, and immediately came back to her senses.

She subconsciously looked at the right side, and the seat where Leng Jue was sitting before was already empty.

"I want a bottle of Cestbon." The dignified man walked to the cashier and spoke.

The drink cabinet was on the back of Luo Luo, and she immediately turned around and took a bottle of Cestbon from it and gave it to the man, "Two yuan, thank you." โ€

The dignified man reached out and groped in the placket of his jacket, and as if he didn't feel the money, he directly pulled out all the contents of it.

Rollo's eyes straightened when he saw it...... A stack of 100-dollar bills! Is this man here to show off his wealth?!!

The things that hindered the most obstacle in the pocket space were pulled out, and the man felt into the placket of his shirt again, and finally "with great difficulty" he found two one-dollar coins.

Rollo carefully accepted the coin and said thank you for your patronage. There's no way, this person looks like a big sum, and ordinary people like her can't afford to mess with her.

The man picked up the water and just wanted to turn away. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said to Luo Luo: "Little girl, you have been in a lot of yin recently, you have been sprinkling some glutinous rice at the door of your house these days, or you can hold a rooster and raise it at home for a few days." โ€

"Oh yes, yes." She immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and for some reason, there was always a convincing charm in what the man said.

"Jingle bellโ€”" Another bell rang, having had the experience of being confused before, and Rollo restrained himself from looking at the bell this time.

The sound of the bell gradually disappeared, and she looked around, and Leng Jue sat back on her right hand side at some point.

"That bell is a confusing bell, designed to confuse ghosts. Because you recently signed a contract with Yan, the yin qi in your body has not dissipated, so you will be attracted by the bewildering heart bell. โ€

"Who is that person?" Rollo hesitated and asked.

"Mage, the people who have guarded this area for generations, no one knows what they do, because they seem to know everything, fortune telling, approving fortunes, exorcism, doing things, etc., nothing can be difficult for them."

Luo Luo was taken aback: "It's so miscellaneous, are all the people here looking for him?" โ€

Leng Jue shook his head, "No, people only come to them when they have to. โ€

"Why?"

Leng Jue didn't sell it either, and directly announced the answer, "Because their fees are very expensive." โ€

Rollo: "......" That's a good reason!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the shopkeeper rushed back, he didn't care about the cold business in the store, but asked her about something with a stern face, whether he had seen a man dressed a little like ancient times.

Listening to the shopkeeper's description, Rollo nodded, "Yes, that gentleman came to the store in the afternoon to buy a bottle of water." โ€

"What! He's in the store?! The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed drastically, and his expression was very flustered.

Luo Luo didn't understand why he reacted this way, "yes, he also bought a bottle of Cestbon." โ€

The middle-aged man immediately folded his hands and muttered "Amitabha, Buddha bless, Amitabha, Buddha blessed...... Buddha", he came back to his senses and glanced at Luo Luo, "The store will be closed for a week, you can come back to work in a week." โ€

Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle, what happened?" โ€

"Something? What an accident! Master Xiangkong never walked down from the mountain if he didn't have anything important, but this time Halloween came, and he actually came out! This proves that something big will happen this Halloween!! โ€

"Besides, every place he stays in will be regarded as the source of bad luck, but there is no endless road, and Master Xiangkong will also give people a Jianyi."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper reacted and glanced at her suspiciously, "Did Master Xiangkong tell you something?" โ€

Seeing him like this, Luo Luo didn't hide it, and directly told him that Master Xiangkong said the words of sprinkling some glutinous rice in front of the door and raising a rooster. As for the heavy yin qi on her body, it was naturally omitted.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper's expression eased when he heard it, "You go back to rest, remember that you must not go out for two days on Halloween, in case you see something unlucky, it will not be good." โ€

So, Rollo took the bus back to the old house before five o'clock today.

When he returned to the county, it was already dark, Luo Luo walked to the side of the road, looked up at the sky, and whispered: "I feel that it has been getting dark very fast recently." โ€œ

Leng Jue floated silently to her side, now that there was no sunlight, he could naturally come out and float in a high-sounding manner instead of hiding in the Feng Ling Jade.

"It's normal for it to get dark, and as Halloween approaches, it gets dark faster and faster, as if the whole world welcomes them."

A gust of cold wind blew gently, and her arms unconsciously got goosebumps. Luo Luo rubbed his hands, and was about to cover his arms warmer, when suddenly, Leng Jue in front of him stopped his steps.

Noticing his movements, Luo Luo also looked up and saw a fair-skinned woman wearing a red cheongsam, holding a red oil-paper umbrella and walking down another path.

She was stunned, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her super vision of nearly 1.5 allowed her to clearly see the woman's hand holding the handle of the umbrella - pale skin, dark nails.

She subconsciously stepped back a few times, and this time, she saw the woman's side faceโ€”a very feminine face, a perfect side face with a pointed chin.

After a while, the woman in red disappeared at the other end of the path.

And the mysterious side face with slightly upturned lips that seemed to be smiling has been lingering in Luo Luo's heart for a long time.

โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•

"Hey, little sister! Why are you standing there stupidly! The aunt in the shop came out and shouted at Rollo.

This sound brought back Rollo's senses, her tense nerves relaxed, and she raised her hand to touch her forehead, which was already covered with sweat.

The aunt came out and pulled Luo Luo into the store, pulled a tissue for her while pulling, and nagged: "Look at you like this, is the weather so hot now?" โ€

Listening to the nagging of his aunt, a warmth gradually rose in Luo Luo's heart, and this feeling of being cared for was felt by other relatives since he was a child.
