Chapter 21: Breaking down on the highway
Because of Mingzhu's request, I stayed at Ye's house for an extra night, and on this night, we lay on the same bed and talked all night.
Early the next morning, when I was sent out, she took out the yellow and white old Jade Emperor and gave it to me.
"Here, I sent the temple to open the light overnight yesterday, so if you don't worry, let Master Bai take a look at it again." Mingzhu deliberately squeezed her eyes, as if trying not to make the parting seem so sad.
I was grateful in my heart and accepted the piece of jade: "I'm leaving, your brother won't bully you, right?" ”
Mingzhu glared: "He dares!" ”
After looking at each other for a second, both of them burst out laughing, and suddenly there was the sound of a car engine at the door, and Mingzhu and I walked out and saw an old-fashioned Beetle car parked outside the iron gate.
Next to the bright yellow car, there stood two men with a restrained face.
I looked at Bai Ming'an holding the car keys in his hand, and my jaw dropped in surprise: "The car you bought?" "No, he likes to wear old homespun shoes, so he even has to buy an old antique to buy a car.
Bai Ming'an glanced at Ye Minglang indifferently: "He sent it." "The eyebrows and eyes are clear, as if to say, don't be in vain, don't be.
Me: "......" I said that with his miser personality, how could he buy such a pure money-burning thing. Old things mean different things in the eyes of different people, and for men who love cars, this old-fashioned Beetle is simply a classic among the classics.
Ye Minglang seemed to be very proud, his chin was raised a little, he rolled his eyes at Mingzhu, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted.
I watched the two awkward siblings laugh from the side, Bai Ming'an looked up at the sky and said to me, "Let's go." ”
Reluctant, I pursed my mouth: "It's still early, what time is it?" ”
Bai Ming'an didn't argue with me, glanced at me coldly, and opened the door and got into the car. I gritted my teeth in anger and stared at his car, only to feel that the whole body was yellow, how ugly it was.
"Okay, Xiao Huan, leave early and arrive early, it's not safe to drive at night." Mingzhu came up and took my hand, and finally his eyes were red, and he hugged me, "Call me when it's time." ”
I also became sad: "Well, I'll call you every day." ”
"Don't, I'll be annoyed with you then." Mingzhu burst into tears and laughed, but finally let go, watched me get into the car, and finally waved at me.
"Goodbye, Xiao Huan."
"Goodbye."
……
The car drove all the way, and I sat in the co-pilot and held the piece of jade in my hand and stroked it from time to time, and when the sentimentality passed, I began to feel a little bored.
Bai Ming'an on the side is concentrating on driving, from my point of view, his side face is smooth, the fingers holding the steering wheel are white and slender, and the appearance of looking seriously ahead is very charming.
I silently thought to myself, men are really attractive when they are focused. looked at it secretly like this, and soon attracted the attention of the parties.
Bai Ming'an's response was very simple, and he turned his head directly at the red light and said to me, "Enough of it?" ”
I was caught, my face suddenly turned red, and I was still cheeky and quibbled: "Who said I was looking at you, don't be too narcissistic." I was looking out the window. ”
Bai Ming'an's dark eyes turned to the window behind me, and his expression did not change, and I said curtly, "I think the scenery over there is better." ”
At this time, the green light turned on, and Bai Ming'an said lightly: "Whatever you want." ”
The car started moving again, and I turned my head and breathed a sigh of relief.
After driving for more than an hour, I finally couldn't help but ask him, "Where are we going?" He said to collect ghosts, then there must be a specific address, isn't it aimless, chic along the highway all the way.
"Go north, don't worry, it's July and it's cloudy, and I'm not afraid that there will be no ghosts." He said coldly.
I twitched the corners of my mouth, I wasn't worried about that, no, I should.
I hurriedly asked, "I don't know anything, how can your assistant help you then?" "Aside from being able to see ghosts, and occasionally making my body transparent, I'm essentially a normal person, at least that's what I think.
Bai Ming'an listened, glanced at me slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a touch of sarcasm: "You think you don't know anything?" ”
I was furious by him: "I'm just an ordinary person, not like you who are a professional." ”
"I'm not." Bai Ming'an interrupted me, frowned, and quickly suppressed this displeasure with a displeased face, "You are not an ordinary person either. Don't you notice, you can see ghosts, you can hear ghosts, you can even touch them. ”
That's true, but so what? You can't let me carry my weapons with me, and if I see a ghost, I can smash one, that's too.
"Then I......" I still have to chase after the question, but I feel that this question is the same as the gap between theory and practice, no matter how clear and detailed the question is now, it may not be useful to really deal with it at that time, so it is better to wait until I get out of the car and settle down.
So I changed my tone: "By the way, yesterday I could see a ghost in the Ye family's collection room, and then she couldn't see it again when she went out of the house, what the hell is going on?" Isn't she an ordinary person either? ”
I'm quite concerned about this situation, so I'll take the opportunity to ask for clarification.
"No, she's fine, it's yours."
What do you mean? I was stunned, and then I heard him say: "I guess it's because I've been in contact with you for too long, and my body is contaminated with your breath, and yesterday's kind of thing, although the probability is extremely small, it's not impossible." ”
Is that so? I nodded half-knowingly, and suddenly reacted, "Eh, that's not right." I can see the ghost, it's also a matter of the last few days, and Mingzhu and I haven't seen each other for a week, where did the contact come from for too long? ”
Bai Ming'an hit the steering wheel on the corner, and the Beetle made a beautiful turn and stopped.
"Are you sure? Your unique physique doesn't come out of nowhere, it's usually shown from a young age. As he spoke, he removed the keys and unbuckled his seatbelts.
"What...... I didn't...... Huh! He ignored me, got out of the car, and walked to a small restaurant. I hurriedly followed and got out of the car.
At lunchtime, I tried to open my mouth many times but was forced back by his cold eyes, and this old antique finally threw out a sentence of "eat without saying a word", which directly blocked me.
After eating, I didn't have time to rest, so I got in the car again and started heading north.
It is easy to get tired after a long ride, and it is easier to get sleepy after eating, so I sat on the side and began to think about how to get words out of his mouth, and finally I couldn't stand it, tilted my head, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again on the highway and there was no one in the driver's seat, I was so shocked that I suddenly got up and drove down to find someone. Soon found Bai Ming'an in the back of the car, he was repairing the car with tools in his hand.
"Broke down?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
The sleeves of Bai Ming'an's shirt were rolled up, revealing a white forearm, and the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist looked quaint, and he responded lightly: "Hmm." ”
"Oh." I thought to myself that I was really unlucky, but I stopped on the highway, and this car was too unsafe to go back and forth. After standing and waiting for a while, I asked, "Well, do you have a phone in your car?" ”
In the past, when I was in sales, my phone was always with me, and I didn't even turn it off when I went to bed at night, for fear of missing an emergency call. Later, when I fell out of love and lost my job, my life suddenly fell to the bottom, and I began to dislike and even resist contact with the outside world.
Anyway, the people I really want to find can always find me, so I simply threw away my mobile phone, and I didn't even have any communication equipment in the rented room, and I didn't even have a TV. If you think about it, I have spent most of my time in bed in a daze for the past six months, and I have really wasted my time.
