Chapter 22: Ghosts
The world is impermanent, and people can always feel that a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by.
The Marshal's Mansion is lush with greenery, Western-style western-style buildings, green tiles and red walls, and magnificent. And the courtyard where Wu Fan and the two of them fell was extremely deserted compared to the prosperity and liveliness of other places. Qiao Jingnu, who was slightly blushing, didn't think about why he could hold her and fall unharmed from such a high place, but tidied up her clothes, and stepped on Wu Fan's feet with high heels, because when that guy hugged her down, one hand dragged her slightly sharp buttocks, making her feel like she had a fever, and there were many men who could walk into her twenty years of life like the water in the Yalu River, and there was never a trace of skin kiss.
In fact, at some point, men lose one heinous opportunity after another because they don't take the initiative. Everyone is looking for the right person in their life, but no one is trying to be the right person.
Wu Fan, who was hit by the high-heeled queen Qiao Jingnu, looked at the woman pitifully, while Qiao Jingnu snorted coldly, clasped her hands around her chest, and ignored him. And Wu Fan, who was embarrassed and cheapened, had to hurry to make the cold beauty smile, quite a trace of the heroic posture of the princes of Zhou Youwang Fenghuo who only cared about the beauty and smiled.
However, just as the two of them were fighting, a young light bulb came out from under a tree in the corner of the quadrangular compound.
"Ahem." A sound interrupted the two, Wu Fan fixed his eyes and saw that a child who was not very old came out behind the tree, looking like he was twelve or thirteen years old, wearing white suspenders, like a British young master. I saw this little guy running out from behind the tree, rushing to the man and the woman, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "You two should not have come in through the main entrance." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the stone wall courtyard gate, "I was behind the tree just now, and I didn't see the two of you, so tell me if you are a human or a ghost?" ”
Wu Fan, who was caught, couldn't cry or laugh, and Qiao Jingnu leaned over with an amiable face: "Little brother, have you ever seen a ghost that comes out in broad daylight?" ”
The child looked at Qiao Jingnu's face and couldn't help but blush a little, and muttered: "Yes, too, my mother said that ghosts usually come out to catch me in the dark, and you are better looking than Huahua, you shouldn't be a ghost." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wu Fan, looked at it and said, "But you're not right, you are definitely a ghost, or the kind of evil ghost who comes out to catch children during the day." ”
Wu Fan was puzzled and asked this little guy and said, "Why?" Is it because I'm ugly? If that's your judgment, then I'm definitely just a very ordinary ghost. ”
However, the child buried his head, and his eyes were gloomy and he spit out two words that Qiao Jingnu didn't understand; Angry.
Qiao Jingnu turned her head to look at Wu Fan, who was not much older than the child, she couldn't see any anger in this man? She could only see that this man had an optimistic and resolute face, but she didn't know how much this man who had been tempered by life for countless years wanted the world to repay him, one step or two steps? Taking a step back is just a step. He doesn't need the so-called glory and wealth, but those are the most powerful weapons to prove himself in a money-worshipping society.
In the past, Hanshan asked and said: How to deal with people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me?
He said: Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, and stay for a few more years and see him.
When Wu Fan was young, he saw this puzzled and asked his master Zong Zezhi: "Master, why do you want to see him in a few more years?" Could it be that it was the man's joke? ”
Zong Zezhi smiled faintly: "If it's just a joke, you can refute the other party at that time, and let him be criticized for being incomplete, it's nothing more than a villain to take revenge on people for only one or three or two days." People should not be too narrow, a big belly can tolerate the intolerable things in the world, and people who often laugh but do not laugh at the ridiculous people in the world are the real tolerance. ”
In front of the Northeast Yama Palace, the evil ghost of Shengjing appeared.
Wu Fan smiled with interest and asked, "Little brother, what about your family?" ”
The little boy opened his watery eyes and said, "They are outside, if you shoot flowers, I will call someone, you will definitely be arrested!" ”
Wu Fan burst into tears, Qiao Jingnu smiled at Wu Fan, and turned to the little boy and said, "Little brother, I'm not a bad person, can you tell me what you did behind that tree just now, is there any secret?" ”
The little boy frowned and thought for a while, and said: "My name is Zhang Tianyun, my father said that this house used to be where my grandfather lived, and he said that when my grandfather was there, he was very angry, and no one dared to mess with him." My dad said that he would come back this time and that he might not come often in the future, and my dad also told me that there were good things buried under the big trees in this yard, so I asked me to come and get them quietly. Big sister, I'll tell you one person, don't tell anyone else. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wu Fan.
Wu Fan turned his head and pretended not to hear
"What's that? Can I let my sister take a look? ”
"No, my dad said you can't let outsiders see it, you guys go quickly, or I won't leave." As he spoke, he ran to the big tree and sat down to guard the one-third of an acre of land that belonged to him, and made a grimace at the two of them.
The two left helplessly, during which Qiao Jingnu asked Wu Fan curiously, "Guess what it will be?" The things left behind by the Zhang family, how can you say that they will also be priceless treasures, aren't you impressed? ”
Wu Fan shook his head: "Even if it's a rare treasure, it's not mine after all, and it's not good to grab something from a child, if it gets out, it's a shame." ”
The two of them swayed all the way, looked at the Shangma Stone at the main entrance, watched the large and small green buildings and saw Zhang Dashuai's embroidered dragon pier, there may be some such three-entry mansions in Beijing, but it is indeed rare to see such a grand specification.
After that, the two of them looked at a lot of flowers, and finally Qiao Jingnu drove Wu Fan back to his 'residence'.
"Thank you for being with me today, I'm sure your time must be more precious than mine."
Wu Fan waved his hand: "I also want to thank you for inviting me to dinner, so be it." I hope to see you next time, how about I ask you when the time comes? ”
"Well, that's a deal."
Just as the two were about to go back to their respective homes, a black cat strode over, circling around Wu Fan as if they had found their relatives. Wu Fan squatted down and quietly stroked the kitten, and the kitten lay very comfortably in Wu Fan's arms, as if he had found his long-lost owner.
If a man is very good to small animals, then no matter how hateful the person is, it is not a great evil. "Is this your cat?" Seeing that one person and one cat were so intimate, Qiao Jingnu asked.
"Do you think I look like someone who can raise a cat? Looking at it, I remember that I could have adopted a stray dog, but I didn't, and now I think about it, I'm sorry for that puppy. ”
"That's fate, why don't I adopt this stray cat for you?"
"Huh? It's just a very ordinary stray cat, not a Persian cat. Wu Fan explained that the pets raised by the rich daughters in his impression are generally more valuable than him, and even the food expenses are very different.
"It's okay."
"I'll leave it to you." said that he hugged the cat to Qiao Jingnu, but the little black cat didn't seem to like this owner very much, and was still stretching out its little paws to Wu Fan.
Looking at this woman and a cat, Wu Fan smiled: "Don't say it, you two are quite a good match, you are both the kind of dress that you can't see in the middle of the night." ”
Say goodbye and say goodbye. Wu Fan just walked away without looking back, leaving only Qiao Jingnu, who was dressed in black in the wind, crawling on her shoulders with the black kitten, looking at the back of Wu Fan in the distance, which was extremely weird.
The two of them are not people of the same world, they are destined to only be passers-by in each other's lives, and Wu Fan is not that kind of essence. A bastard who loses his mind on the worm's brain will not lose his sense of proportion because of a woman who accidentally strayed in, he is just a small citizen in the market, and he can only put in the effort and business within the scope of his ability. The kind of cross-level conquest that Yue Yu Daiku, he never thought about it.
However, Qiao Jingnu did have the urge to take this man away, but in the end, she just took away the poor stray cat, she wanted to see how far this man could go on his own.

Under the tree in the last courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, a little boy used his delicate little hands to dig the soil under the tree like a life, and the pain of digging with his little hands did not stop, and finally he dug out an iron box carved with dragons and phoenixes under the big tree. The child wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had received endless candy, and his little hands vigorously opened the tin box, which contained a photo of his grandmother, who had passed away before she was born, when she was young.
At that time, Miss Zhao Yidi was gentle, kind, intellectual and beautiful.
