Volume 1: You Only Have to Meet Once in a Life Chapter 152: A Rat Chasing Xiaoju Under the Moon
In spring, flowers bloom, spring magnolia, peony, rose, rose, rhododendron, carnation compete with each other, with a brocade of green.
All the flower goddesses live in the stamens during the day and close their eyes and ears, sit quietly and meditate, do not listen to the world, and meet in the garden at night, the spring flower fairy is tender and yellow and delicate, the magnolia flower fairy is white and elegant, the peony flower fairy is beautiful and fragrant, the rose fairy is purple and colorful, the rose romantic azalea is warm, and the carnation is graceful and beautiful.
Everyone held hands, admired the moonlight and watched the red carp, the skirts were fluttering, and the laughter was endless.
In the past few days, Qin Xin has been staying in the small western-style building until late, sleeping late and not sleeping well, and always waking up at night. Xiao Ju was worried that Miss would bump into a flower fairy on the night road, and when Miss fell asleep, she was really out of her body, so she came to pull her to the garden to play? It's a big deal, and they all say, "Worship God and stay away." "Ghosts and gods together, people together, don't you have to ......
Xiao Ju was a little scared in her heart, if this was the case, then how should she help Miss please God? I can't think of it, so let's ask Aunt Bao! When Aunt Bao heard what Xiao Ju said, she hurriedly prepared a few exquisite dishes, boiled a few white eggs, and put them in a rice sieve, so that Xiao Ju could go at night.
This night-time is a kind of invitation to God. Many people-to-people exchanges start with a dinner, you eat my food, accept my invitation, that is, agree to do things for me.
The connection between people and the spirit world can also be carried out through eating, or passing information, or exchanging feelings, and a meal can achieve results.
As for the night, it is usually done at night. Generally, an unmarried girl holds a rice sieve, which usually contains four clean and delicate vegetables, among which there must be boiled eggs and a pot of wine.
The girl walked by the river, and if there was no river, it would be fine if there was water, and she recited words as she went, leading the ghosts and spirits to follow the night-sleepers, and away from the entangled people.
It sounds scary, but it's taken for granted along the southeast coast. People use the night to pray for the sick of the living, so as to communicate with the ghosts. It is impossible to say what the real effect will be, and whether there is an inevitable connection between the behavior and the result. Because no one has met with ghosts and gods, through words, full-screen imagination, seeking peace of mind.
Xiao Ju listened to Aunt Bao teach the true scriptures, and mastered the essentials of the night, so she decided to do it. Aunt Bao also said that you must pick a good day at night, and if the day is good, the gods will arrive.
Which day is the best to choose? A few days later, on the sixteenth day, the old man did not go home on this day, and Miss and Mr. Song also went out to visit Yu Garden. It just so happens that you can spend the night tonight, and you can't let the living know about it, so it's useless.
The sixteenth is the best day, and the gods will definitely be invited on this day
After making up her mind, Xiao Ju washed her head and face, took off her hair ornaments, tied a braid with only a black rope, changed into clean clothes and shoes, and came to the artificial river in the garden with a rice sieve.
The moonlight tonight is so bright and beautiful, and the flower fairies will definitely come out to admire the moon.
Xiao Ju thought about it, and looked down at the clear black river, Yue'er was stirred into six petals by the river, and the faces of beautiful women floated vaguely under the rippling water waves...... Xiao Ju's scalp was numb, and her back was cold, here, Aunt Bao's dishes are also hungry for ghosts.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Ju told herself to be calm, and when the young lady slept peacefully, she would be at ease, and this method should always be tried.
The flower fairies were firmly hooked by the rice sieve in her hand. The dishes in it are all cooled, people can't smell any fragrance, and they can't see any color at night. But the ghosts and gods are different, when the dish is cold, the gas will run out, and this gas is their dish.
It's so fragrant, wow, there's wine and eggs.
"Fairies, gods, follow me, follow me, don't pester my young lady, follow me, follow me, eat and drink, drink and drink, don't pester my young lady......"
Xiao Ju said to stop one step at a time, as if there was really a group of ghosts and gods behind her. A cold wind blew, and Xiao Ju was so frightened that she almost threw away the rice sieve and ran back, but fortunately she held back and didn't spill the wine, if she spilled it, it would anger the ghosts.
The flower fairies all gathered around her, taking the food from the rice sieve. Xiao Ju still walked slowly step by step, glancing at the river under her feet from time to time, and the white shadows around her reflection were still there, and they hadn't left yet. Xiao Ju chattered again.
A shadow suddenly jumped over the red wall of the Lin Mansion, and suddenly, sneaked into the grass and disappeared. Xiao Ju heard the sound of "clusters", thought it was a wild cat and wild dog, and ignored it.
A moment later, the voice sounded again. Xiao Ju listened attentively, and the voice was clearly behind him, as if he was chasing himself tighter and tighter, Mom, what kind of ghost and god is this, the vegetables in the rice sieve have been eaten by the flower fairies, where is there still more to honor other ghosts and gods, don't follow me.
"Chrysanthemum—"
There was a long call from behind, and Xiao Ju had already trembled like chaff in fright, and this sound called her soul out. Mom, run, run for your life. Xiao Ju spread her legs and ran, still clinging to the rice sieve.
There was another call from behind, and Xiao Ju ran faster. I couldn't tell the direction at night, and I was flustered, so I couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, but at this time, the moon was blocked by dark clouds, and there was no light at all.
"Xiaoju, it's me, don't run away."
Hey, this voice is Brother Rat, not a ghost. Xiao Ju turned around, and Ah Rat ran to her panting, with his hands crossed on his waist, his back bent, and he was huffing.
"Brother Rat, why are you? I thought ......"
"Ouch Xiaoju, you're too good at running, am I a ghost?"
Xiao Ju lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, she really regarded the rat as a ghost. Why didn't you hear that voice just now? The more I think about ghosts, the more real they become, and I still treat people as ghosts. I'm going to laugh and cry by myself.
"Brother Rat, what are you doing so late?"
Ah Rat scratched his head shyly, but his eyes were fixed on the rice sieve held by Xiao Ju, which contained wine and food. What does Xiaoju do?
"I ...... I didn't do anything, I just happened to pass by and came in-Xiaoju, what are you doing here? ”
As he spoke, his eyes slipped into the rice sieve again, and he was moved by the wine and food. Xiao Ju noticed his expression, cute, so cute, rat, I want to eat but I'm embarrassed to say. What are you doing, do you want to tell him? Xiao Ju thought for a while and said:
"Don't do anything, these drinks and dishes are prepared for Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, but unfortunately he didn't eat them, and he was going to go back to the kitchen, so you won't come."
Xiao Ju looked at Ah Rat and smiled as she spoke, Ah Mouse's eyes lit up, and she lowered her head and asked embarrassedly:
"Then I...... Can I eat it? ”
"Of course!"
Xiao Ju held the rice sieve, pushed it in front of him, and invited him to eat. The rat took a white water egg, smiled "hehe", and swallowed half of it in one gulp.
"Well, it's so sweet."
"Aunt Bao boiled it with sugar, it's delicious!"
Rat smiled, he didn't expect that he came to Qin Xin at night, and he didn't see her actually eat delicious. Xiao Ju has been holding the rice sieve and doesn't feel tired, watching the rat eat eggs, his appearance is very cute, but unfortunately these dishes are not made by himself.
"Xiaoju, how tired you are, I'll come."
"No, no, you eat, I'm not tired."
The rat saw that there was a flower stand corridor not far away, and suggested that he go there to sit there.
Xiao Ju nodded in agreement, smiled, showed her white teeth, and her eyes were full of love, but unfortunately Ah Rat just lowered her head and took the rice sieve in her hand, and walked towards the corridor by herself. Xiao Ju bowed her head sadly and followed behind him.
The promenade is silent, and it looks even longer at night. The vines are tenderly entwined, and the green leaves hang down in layers.
There are small leaves hidden in the big leaves, and the moonlight is quietly sprinkled, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the collision of broken jade glass, and the night is even more ethereal. The thin vine lies on the leaves like a silkworm baby in spring, sleeping quietly.
But there is still a silkworm baby who is not sleeping obediently, at this moment, he is eating dishes with relish and sipping wine!
"Xiaoju, look at me, I'm so embarrassed."
"Hehe-eat, it's okay."
After a while, the plates in the rice sieve were empty, and the wine jug was dry. The rat wiped his mouth contentedly and burped twice. Xiao Ju saw that he was full, and he laughed and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
A rat has not been so warm for a long time, and Brother Dog and Ah Worm have always treated him like a fool and a fool, bullying him and making fun of him.
Qin Xin was even more faintly cold to him, and he almost didn't look at him squarely. He was too honest and kind. Others scolded him, he was afraid that others would have a dry mouth, others would beat him, and he was afraid that others would have sore hands. He never asks for anything for himself, never fights for himself, and has been silently standing in an inconspicuous corner to be his little mouse.
Xiaoju, this gentle and kind girl is also obedient like a sheep. The head is always bowed and there is always a smile on the face. Work hard, be meticulous, and serve Qin attentively and thoughtfully. Qin Xin sometimes gives her more benefits, or takes her out to play, just like a sister.
This will always provoke some red eyes and feces mouth, will she scold back? She won't, but she will drip tears of grievance in the dead of night, and she will be silent and not be heard. People are as light as chrysanthemums and more fragrant, this is chrysanthemum.
Corresponding with the same voice, with the same breath. The fate of people is never without reason, and the process of acquaintance and intersection between people is the convergence and collision of emotions again and again. This pair of people is on the water side again, one side is looking at it from afar, and the other side is back. A river across the world, and it's not easy to cross!
At this moment, a meteor streaked by, and the entire night sky was instantly lit up.
"Wow, it's a meteor, it's so beautiful and fast!" Xiao Ju pointed to the western sky and said, "This is the first time I've seen a meteor, and I've only heard my mother talk about it before." ”
