Chapter Ninety-Three: Ghost Hunter
The dusk at the inn is beautiful.
The afterglow stained the feathery clouds red, dragging them all the way to the horizon.
The glow falls on the reeds, greens, jujube trees, and fence lentil seedlings by the lakeside, and a gust of wind comes and sways slightly, making people feel peaceful and warm.
Yu Sheng went back to pack his things, and Aunt Qing stood by the fence and talked to the god of agriculture.
She couldn't see Saturnalia, but she felt it and heard it.
It's just that what makes her wonder is that she can actually contact ghosts for the rest of her life, and even see their appearances clearly.
As far as she knew, there shouldn't be such a skill in the talent of the rest of her life.
When everyone finished their work in the vegetable garden and rested, Yu Sheng came out of the backyard and greeted Aunt Qing with a food box in his hand.
Hearing that Yu Sheng was going to the lake to worship his mother, the little white fox and Cao'er also followed.
In the north, there is rarely the custom of putting river lanterns, and Cao'er wants to let go of a river lantern at night.
For the rest of her life, her mother was buried in the belly of the fish, so she was worshiped in the lake.
He pointed to the lake, "There are ghosts and monsters, be careful to catch you in the water and eat them." ”
Cao'er and the little white fox were deterred when they heard this, and let Yu Sheng and Aunt Qing walk around the backyard.
Ye Zigao was very strange, "That's it, what kind of monster do you say you are afraid of?"
The little white fox flicked his tail and ignored him, but the grass blushed.
There is a pier in the town, behind the shrine.
While walking through the streets, some of the townsfolk were already eating at the door.
When they saw Yu Sheng carrying the river lantern, they kindly said, "Little fish, don't fall into the water again." ”
On the day after the old man entered the earth, he went to the lake alone to worship his mother for the rest of his life, and accidentally fell into the lake when he lit the river lantern.
Fortunately, the rest of his life has good water quality, and he is like a fish in water in the lake, otherwise he would have to drown.
The townsfolk thought he was frightened last time, so few people mentioned the sacrifice of his mother for the rest of his life.
Actually, no, the rest of my life was frightened by water ghosts.
When passing by the City Lord Shrine, Aunt Qing specially went in and glanced at it, "Yes, although the painting is not very beautiful, it is already like a god." ”
Yu Sheng wondered, "Have you seen the city lord?"
Aunt Qing nodded, "It's an old acquaintance." ”
The rest of your life is happy, "Then you can ......"
"Smack", Aunt Qing slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you doing?" the rest of his life was unconvinced.
"Makes you say things you shouldn't say. ”
"I haven't said it yet. ”
"I already know what you're going to say. ”
The small pier behind the shrine is almost unused, and even Uncle Gen, the fisherman, only fishes in the river and barely in the lake.
But there is always a small boat on the pier.
The rest of her life rowed, and the little aunt stood at the bow of the boat, watching the reeds slowly parting in front of the boat.
It was already dark, and the reeds were black from within, except for the faint light on the tips of the reeds.
The boat alarmed the white bird in the reeds, and flew up to the sky alone, and flew eastward in the faint sun.
By the time the boat rowed out of the reeds, it was already dark, and only the clouds of the western mountains had a glimmer of light.
"I don't know what to worship during the New Year's holidays. Yu Sheng glanced around and complained.
Aunt Qing saw him looking around, "Are you afraid of something?"
"Of course ......not," Yu Sheng's words were halfway through, and he said angrily: "Damn, come again." ”
Aunt Qing also heard it, and in the middle of nowhere, she shouted "The rest of your life, the rest of your life, the rest of your life." ”
Yu Sheng said: "What if Lao Tzu agreed, didn't you do anything last time." ”
"Then you promise. The voice slowly approached.
"Hey, there are others. One said.
"Is it Lao Yu?"
"No, he's dead. ”
"Then we can't get on yet?"
"You are so afraid of the living, when will you be able to seduce people?" the third urged impatiently.
"You can't support your body, it's good in the water. ”
Aunt Qing smiled, as if she had evoked good memories, "Hello guys." ”
"I'm a god, it's her, run, run. The voices of the three hurried away.
Yu Sheng was surprised, "Do you know this thing?"
"I don't know. Aunt Qing shook her head, "You were called into the water by them last time?"
"Hell knows why I said yes. Yu Sheng said.
It was also evening, and he followed the old man's instructions to go to the lake to tell his mother.
As soon as the offerings were put on the table, I heard the lake shouting "The rest of my life, the rest of my life".
Of course, Yu Sheng knew that this was a water ghost seducing people, and he must not agree.
But for some reason, maybe it's used to it in your bones?
In short, the rest of the ghost made a quick promise, and then "poof" fell into the water.
"It's really not a long memory. Aunt Qing said softly.
Yu Sheng didn't hear it, he took out a quick plank, "Now you know why I didn't come, maybe they will eat it." ”
"They don't dare. Aunt Qing said.
Yu Shenghu looked at Aunt Qing suspiciously, "You know them very well?"
"I don't know. ”
"Then how do you know they don't dare? ”
"Guess. ”
The little aunt made up her mind not to tell the truth, and there was nothing she could do for the rest of her life.
He laid out the offerings one by one on a thin wooden plank, and there were soup dumplings, stir-fried vegetables, pork head meat, and mapo tofu.
Aunt Qing said regretfully: "It would be good if it was a boiled fish, your mother likes to eat fish the most, and it would be even better if it was a deep-sea fish." ”
Yangzhou faces the sea in the east, but it is not worried about the sea fish, but the deep-sea fish is difficult for ordinary people to eat.
The rest of his life just looked at Aunt Qing, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was fully revealed.
"Don't look at me, it's not the rules I set for the Yu family. ”
"Other families are planted by their predecessors, and their descendants enjoy the shade, but the rest of the family is a sin made by the predecessors, and the descendants suffer. Yu Sheng said.
"Pop", a fish jumped up on the water and landed in the boat, beating the rest of his life with a face of water.
"Phew. "Catch it for the rest of your life.
"Beware of Lao Yu's corpse. Aunt Qing said.
The rest of my life can only put it back in the water.
He took out the fire fold, lit the river lamp and placed it in the water, and then placed the plank with the offerings in the middle of them.
"Make a wish. Aunt Qing said, "For example, the wind and rain are smooth or something." ”
The rest of her life looked at her, "You have a birthday, blow out the candles." ”
"Almost. ”
"Far from it. ”
After arguing, Yu Sheng watched as the river lantern floated into the distance around the offerings.
The rest of his life was raised by Lao Yu, and he was very unfamiliar with this unknown mother, "What kind of person is she?"
"A stingy person. ”
Seeing the river lantern disappear from view, Yu Sheng lit a lantern at the bow of the boat and rowed the boat to the shore.
When they came ashore, they went around the shrine, and by the faint light they saw a white robe fluttering silently in front of them.
I'm not afraid of ghosts for the rest of my life, but what kind of demon is a piece of clothing floating there?
He couldn't help but get closer to his little aunt, "Who's in front?"
Bai Yi stopped, turned around and bowed, and made a sniffing sound, "It smells of ghosts." ”
His voice was very faint and a little hoarse, in short, it was hard to hear.
Aunt Qing pushed away the rest of her life, "He is a person." ”
"People?" took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a little old man wrapped in white clothes.
He was skinny and loose, so it was no wonder that the rest of his life looked like a white dress floating in the back.
He looked at Yu Sheng's eyes eagerly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth with only a few, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have met the hell." ”
"yes, I did. "The rest of your life is not about others.
"I'm a four-dollar ghost hunter, I can help you. The little old man said.
