Chapter 223: A Guest Arrives

After the sister and brother returned home, they were severely taught a lesson by Yao Hong.

"After the eleventh day of the new year, I can't go out at night. It's good for the two of you, you don't say a word and go out for a long time, and you come back after dark, I don't know if I'll be worried? What if something collides? Yao Hong's index fingers poked at the foreheads of his younger brother and sister respectively, "From today onwards, you two will be grounded, and you will not be allowed to run out after dinner." ”

Yao Hong and Yao Qing obediently agreed that the outside was full of ghosts who had been liberated for vacation, and they had to wait for fifteen years to go out, so as not to have too much contact with the ghosts. It's just that things have turned out more than they expected.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, the villagers had eaten early and slept at home. A white lotus lamp hangs outside the courtyard of each house, and the lamp oil is made of sesame oil, and the air exudes a strong fragrance after it is lit. It is a custom in the village to guide the "relatives" who return home to visit their relatives and feed them with sesame oil.

Yao Hong and Wenren Qianye had just hung the lotus lantern at the gate of the courtyard, and when they turned their heads, they found that Xiao Ke was gone.

"Where is this boy? Didn't you stop him from running around? Yao Hong was angry, how could she run around today? Fortunately, it was not dark yet, and the child had to be retrieved quickly.

"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke!"

"Mother!" Xiao Ke's voice came from behind the tree, and the two couples walked over and found a little girl standing next to their son.

"Little girl, why are you here alone? What about your parents? Yao Hong saw that the little girl looked cute, squatted down and asked gently.

The little girl glanced at Xiao Ke shyly and shook her head.

Is it an orphan? Yao Hong felt even more pity for the little girl.

"And who are you coming with?" This little girl is not from the village. Most likely a passerby. It's getting dark. I want to find a family to rest. When they went to the capital, they also borrowed other peasant houses, but those peasant houses were all near the official road, but Qingshui Village was not on the official road, and few people passed by. Smelling people, Chiba squinted warily.

"Uncle Bai, Grandpa Guo, Sister Wu, Aunt Lin, Granny An, Brother Xin......" the little girl said with her fingers wrenched.

Yao Hong was taken aback, why are there so many people?

"What about them? Where did it go? ”

"The little brother invited us to his house to play, and Grandpa Guo said that he wanted to give gifts when he was a guest at someone else's house, and they went to prepare gifts." The little brother in the little girl's mouth is Xiao Ke.

Wenren Qianye glared at Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke shrank his shoulders. The little head hung down, and he didn't dare to look at his father.

"Xianggong, since Xiao Ke has already invited people, and they are still going to buy gifts, we can't help but let people enter the door, so it's better to wait here for a while!" Yao Hong stood up and said to Wenren Chiba.

Wenren Chiba nodded, he thought that his current martial arts were not worse than the great grandmasters in the rivers and lakes, and he was enough to protect the safety of his wife and children, as for the brother-in-law and sister-in-law, the two of them did not need his protection. Especially the sister-in-law, who is even more powerful than him!

A family of three accompanied the little girl to stand under the tree and wait. About half a pillar of incense time, more than a dozen people walked outside Yao's house, including old and young, men and women.

"Thank you for the invitation!" On behalf of the group, the person who talked to Wenren Chiba was a scholar in his twenties, wearing a green shirt like blue rain in the sky, elegant and gentle, it was the white uncle in the mouth of the little girl, "Painting green in the white." A small gift is not a tribute. ”

After speaking, he took out a book from his sleeve and held it to Wenren Chiba with both hands. Hearing that Qianye Qian did not accept it, Bai Huiqing said: "If the master does not accept gifts, he looks down on us." In that case, I won't go to the master's house later. ”

"It's getting dark! It's not safe for you to be outside, so go to my house! The kind-hearted Yao Hong was not worried about this group of people, so she opened her mouth to invite.

Bai Huiqing insisted that "you don't accept gifts, we insist on not going to your house", Wenren Qianye was helpless and took the gift in his hand. Others presented gifts, some were a scroll of paintings, some were a jade pendant, some were a vase, and some were two fish or a ginseng...... In short, there are all kinds of gifts.

"Everyone, hurry up and get inside!" Yao Hong greeted the group, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'll do it for you right away. ”

The hostess walked into the kitchen enthusiastically, and as the hostess, she could only cheer up and greet a group of guests who did not know where to come from.

"Brother-in-law, why have you hung the lantern for so long?" Yao Qing walked out of the house, and after seeing a group of people in the courtyard, he froze, "Second sister! ”

"What's it called? Unpromising! Yao Huang knocked Yao Qing's brain melon seeds. She had already seen what was happening outside through her divine sense, and the reason why she didn't stop Yao Hong's invitation was because she saw that the group of guys had no malicious intent.

"Second sister, they-" Yao Qing pointed to a group in the courtyard, and couldn't speak well. My sister, you keep telling us not to run into these guys, how did you bring them home yourself? Although these guys all have feet, and the black marks between their eyebrows are too faint to be seen, they are still not human.

"It's okay, they don't have malicious intent." Yao Huang said that these ghosts would gather at their doorstep because they were attracted by the aura at home, although ghost cultivation did not require aura, but an appropriate amount of aura could allow them to purify their souls and expel the dark energy that the ghosts automatically absorbed.

Yao Qing covered her forehead: "Second sister, do you want to tell the truth to the eldest sister and brother-in-law?" ”

"No, lest they worry!" Yao Huang restrained the momentum on her body, so that the group of ghosts could not discover her identity as a cultivator, so the ghosts did not have any strange reactions after seeing her, nor were they afraid.

Wenren Chiba invited a group of non-humans to the hall, and the children were greeted by Xiaoke, and the teenagers were handed over to Yao Huang and Yao Qing. After coming into contact with several teenagers, Yao Qing found that they were not very scary, and they were very similar to his hobbies, and he got into trouble with them after a while.

Wenren Chiba and Bai Huiqing have a very good conversation, Bai Huiqing is full of poetry and books, knowledgeable, very talented, and he likes to play chess as much as Wenren Chiba, and the two of them talk about black and white more and more speculative. Wenren Chiba simply took out the chessboard, and the two talked with their hands.

It was dark, and the moon hung like a disk of silver in the deep sky, gilding the surrounding clouds with silver. The village was quiet except for the chirping of insects in the grass and the occasional dog bark or two. Yao's family, on the contrary, is very lively.

"Does Mrs. Wenren have any wine?" A non-human man with the appearance of a big man shouted, "I haven't had a sip of wine in ten years, I'm hungry!" ”

"Yes, you wait!" (To be continued......)
