The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year. It rained overnight last night, and the fog was especially heavy in the early morning.

In the city gate cave lane, Shui Bo got up early as always, boiling water, and when the water boiled, the whole tiger stove was even more confused with water vapor, white, and even the light was like hair.

While annealing from the stove, Shui Bo found the bangzi and prepared to knock it on the bang for someone else to fetch water. He also muttered in his mouth: I heard that the girl Zhenniang came back from Nanjing, and the old lady of the Li family went to the city gate to pick it up in person, which was really good, so he looked at the girl who was promising.

was muttering, but heard someone outside the door ask, "Shui Bo, what happened to the Li family?" Why are they gone? ”

Shui Bo raised his eyes and looked out of the door, the fog and the water vapor of the tiger stove were misty, and he couldn't see clearly, only saw a figure shaking, Shui Bo couldn't help but laugh and said: "What you said, good haode people, where will you not see it, the Li family is now living well, and they have all moved to the ancestral house." ”

Shui Bo responded, the fire had already retreated from the stove, so he stood up, went out with a bangzi, and when he arrived at the door, he saw the person standing at the door, and his heart couldn't help but twitch, and his eyes were a little dizzy, this, isn't this Li Jingfu?

Hell, Shui Bo rubbed his eyes, and then took a closer look, yes, it was Li Jingfu, and he was still smiling at him, although he was in tatters, but Shui Bo still recognized that face, but now there was an extra scar on that face at some point. The flesh is a little rolled, and a little scary.

"Oh, thank you Shuibo, then I'll go. I'll come to you for dinner and wine again during the Chinese New Year. Then Li Jingfu said again. Then he turned around and walked away. The water was steaming, the fog was misty, and Li Jingfu's back was a little ethereal, and after a while, the figure was hidden in the white fog and couldn't see anyone.

Shui Bo's heart twitched even more, hell, it's really hell, Li Jingfu has been dead for almost two years. It all means that people are dying. Then he will be able to see ghosts, so is his day not far off? Shui Bo's heart was a little pinched.

Alas, however, the king of Hades let you die in the third watch, and how can he leave you until the fifth watch, forget it, forget it, there is no way to really die, thinking about Shui Bo to clean up his mood. Get out of the door of the Tiger Stove.

After a while, the sound of the wooden bang sounded again in the alley of the city gate.

It's like a wake-up number. Every house, there is a faint oil lamp in the door, such as the light of the beans is dim, and there is also the sound of the mother-in-law beating the child, and the cold day is dead and does not want to get up.

After a while, each family opened the door one after another, all going out with copper kettles and wooden barrels, and lined up at the door of the tiger stove to turn on the water.

"Uncle Shui, are you sick, your face is pale and pale." At this time, the daughter-in-law of the people who came to turn on the water asked.

"Oh, don't mention it, I bumped into a ghost early in the morning, I saw Li Jingfu in the morning." Shui Bo shook his head and said, and then added: "This year is over, I'm afraid the days below will not be easy, this ghost is not peaceful, if Ming'er can come over, I have to tell her to cook more things for her father to go below." ”

"No, Uncle Shui, this is weird and scary." When the daughter-in-law of the people heard this, they were also frightened.

At this time, Sister-in-law Huaide, who was lined up behind the daughter-in-law of the people, also screamed, her face pale.

"What's wrong? Sister-in-law of Wilder? The daughter-in-law of the big man turned her face and asked.

"Shui Bo didn't say, I haven't remembered it, early in the morning, my family was still sleeping, I heard someone knocking on the door, knocking on the old sound, my head of the house also shouted 'there is no one in that house', and then I couldn't hear the sound, now I heard Shui Bo say this, I dare to feel that Li Jingfu came back to call the door." Sister-in-law Huaide was also frightened.

"Ouch......" Immediately, some people in line to fetch water panicked.

"What are you all messing around? Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, I think everyone has been talking about the Li family recently, so one by one they are sleeping in the fog, and they can't tell the difference between dream and reality. At this time, a man said angrily. Then the man said to Shui Bo again: "Shui Bo, don't worry about Zhen Niang, now that people are worshiped in the princess's mansion, they have climbed up to the princess, so where are we people in our eyes, what should we do, don't think nonsense, it's true." ”

After the man finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help but gossip: "Isn't it, the Li family today doesn't look down on us poor families in the city gate." ”

That's a bit sour.

But what he said said was in the hearts of many people, this is about a very normal human condition, the poor are poor, the rich are rich, and now the Li family in Chengmen Cave has returned, and everyone is not an ordinary person.

So, people whispered, and the person who turned on the water came to change the stubble, but the topic of the water Bo was also passed on through the mouths of people.

In the blink of an eye, the hour had passed, and there were passers-by eating hot porridge in the porridge shop at the entrance of Shuibo. Shui Bo responded heartlessly, still thinking about seeing Li Jingfu in the morning, saying that it was a dream, but it was really not like it, he was doing things at the time, but he was sober, especially now, Li Jingfu's voice of questioning is still in his ears, it is real.

At this moment, from a distance, I saw a group of people coming, the person who started was a girl's family, wearing a blue jacket with a little broken branches, dark wide-legged pants, and a blue armor, isn't this the girl of the Li family, Li Zhenniang?

She was also accompanied by Brother Xi, and a large group of twelve or thirteen-year-old half-grown children, all of whom you carried me and carried with them a lot of things.

The tiger stove is at the mouth of the alley of the city gate cave lane, and the average person arrives in front of it after a while.

"Uncle Shui, this year is okay, can you be tough?" Zhen Niang brought something forward, four-color pastries, all kinds of fruit preserves, plus sauce duck smoked chicken, and a few haode fabrics, which are basically New Year's goods.

"Okay, okay." Shui Bo said a little excitedly, forgetting that because he saw Li Jingfu in the morning, he was worried about whether he was running out of time.

"Yo, Zhenniang, I'm here to see Shui Bo." A sister-in-law who came to fetch water asked.

"Well, it's the New Year, I miss everyone, I just brought some pastries and dried fruits from Nanjing, not much, give everyone a try, don't dislike it." Zhen Niang said with a smile on her face, and the group of boys who followed Xi Ge'er carried a few baskets of things and went door to door to distribute points to each family.

"What are you talking about, happy, how can you dislike it." The fast-talking sister-in-law said, and said to Shui Bo: "Shui Bo, is this the reason?" ”

"Ahh Shui Bo nodded vigorously, but said to Zhen Niang: "You girl, you can come to see Shui Bo, Shui Bo is happy, why are you bringing so many things?" Your family's life is better than before, but it's not so relaxed, don't say that there are many errands at the door, your eldest brother is a sincere person, last year's tung oil poisoning, there are several families whose children have finally fallen into some problems, you have been taking care of others for a year, and the cost is really not small in a year...... "Shui Bo nagged.

The situation of the Li family is not as glamorous as outsiders see.

However, saying that, the expression is indescribably joyful, and the people on one side are also smiling, the big guy is not greedy for these things, but the Li family has moved out of the city gate, and Zhenniang is now Nanjing has also broken out of a million children, which can still remember the poor neighbors, and can also come to see everyone, send some pastries or something, which shows that the Li family still has everyone in their hearts, and they are still holding everyone, this is love, and it is also the face of the big guy, naturally they are all very happy.

"Zhenniang, tell you, I saw your father early this morning, your father's ghost is back, I can't find the door, I see that today is a young year, you hurry home, burn more things for your father, I look at your father like that, it seems that he is living very badly below, in tattered clothes, and there is a scar on his face, I don't know which little ghost to give the whole thing, burn more paper money, and let your father walk well, this world, underground, human feelings are a reason." At this time, Shui Bo pulled Zhen Niang aside and told him carefully.

The events in the morning were so real that he didn't believe it was a dream, but he saw Li Jingfu's ghost.

And Zhenniang listened to Shui Bo's words at this time, but she was a little dumbfounded, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, so she hurriedly asked Shui Bo how he saw her father in the morning.

So, Shui Bo told Zhenniang in detail what he saw early in the morning. Every detail is clear.

There are no ghosts in this world, and Shui Bo doesn't seem to be dreaming and talking nonsense, so isn't her father dead? Thinking of this, Zhenniang's heart twitched. However, he replied: "Haode, go back in a while, provide more food for my father, burn more paper money or something." ”

"Alas......" Shui Bo nodded vigorously.

Then Zhenniang chatted with Shui Bo a few more words, and as before, sat on the stove and helped Shui Bo add a few handfuls of firewood, and then said goodbye and left.

As for Brother Xi'er, that kid has a family of the same year, and he won't return home if he is not crazy enough to eat, so let him go.

It's just that what Shui Bo said finally made her mind a little confused, is her father back? Or maybe Shui Bo is mistaken? Thinking about it, Zhen Niang sped up her pace and went home, whether it was a mistake or really coming back, since the person was looking for the Li family, Shui Bo also told him that the Li family had now moved back to the ancestral house, so the person who wanted to come would definitely go back to the ancestral house.

Bypassing Sibao Street, Zhenniang greeted people all the way, and arrived at the door of the house after a while.

"Hey, you call Huazi so I don't know anything, I've already given you copper coins, why don't you still rely on it, this is the New Year, you don't look for bad luck for people, and you leave......" The porter Li Liujin waved his hand a little reluctantly to catch people.
