Chapter 041: Ghosts
After lunch, Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang happily went out to buy the things they needed. Li Wenxuan, who was left alone at home, walked into the alchemy room and looked through a classic book of the Daomen. Since he is a Taoist priest, he must be proficient in business. He was fascinated, and he didn't feel boring and boring at all, but became more and more insightful.
Before you know it, time passes quickly. Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang returned with large bags and small bags in their hands. The little girl who couldn't hide things in her heart rushed into the alchemy room to find Li Wenxuan, and had to let him share the joy. He put down the book in his hand and did not refuse, and went to the hall with her.
Li Wenxuan, who was sitting on the mahogany circle chair, saw the happy expressions on their faces when they took things apart, and believed that the love of women in the past and present was driven by nature and instinct. They don't feel the slightest tiredness or verbal distraction after an afternoon of shopping. Even if the two of them continue to shop, it will not attract their dissatisfaction.
Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang put the soap-colored cloth boots they had selected for Li Wenxuan on the desk, and said in unison: "Which of these two boots do you like?" ”
"I like them all." Li Wenxuan, who cut tofu with a knife on both sides, calmly said three words to please the two of them.
Zhao Tian'er, who heard this, seemed very happy, and Su Meiniang smiled charmingly: "Look at your appearance is honest, and your mouth is full of oily tone." You're really going to make us happy. ”
Seeing that Su Meiniang didn't appreciate it, Li Wenxuan knew that she was not a little girl's temperament, so he deliberately lowered the boots she bought and said: "After I took a closer look, I found that the boots that Tian'er bought for me were better." ”
Su Meiniang knew that he was deliberately angry with herself, but she was not unhappy in her heart, and she had no intention of competing with Zhao Tianer for favor. She just smiled seductively and followed his words, "That's nature." The slave family also felt that Tian'er had a better eye for picking things. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was standing nearby, showed a little embarrassment to be praised, and said again and again: "No." Or Sister Su will buy things. Not only are these things here, but some of the belongings she ordered at the carpenter's shop are also really good-looking. Hey, I don't have the same good eye as her. ”
Li Wenxuan, who drooped his head, no longer expressed any opinions, and looked at them standing in front of him, pushing each other and being modest. The two of them, who had talked a lot, had not eaten a drop of water after walking for an afternoon, and while feeling thirsty, they also felt tired standing and talking, so they sat down while drinking herbal tea while holding a tea bowl.
Zhao Tian'er, who was sitting on the left, and Su Meiniang, who was sitting on the right, were facing each other. She stretched a big lazy waist, straightened her legs, and moved her muscles and bones. Su Meiniang, who drank most of the tea, put the tea bowl on the coffee table next to her hand, and said unhurriedly: "In the afternoon, when Tian'er and I were in the carpenter's shop, we heard a hellish rumor. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was very timid, was nervous, and the expression on her face instantly changed from happy to scared: "Sister Su, don't mention this, it sounds weird and scary." ”
Li Wenxuan, whose interest was immediately aroused, wanted to know the details of Lu Dao, and looked at Su Meiniang and said, "What kind of situation, you go on." ”
Not in a hurry to say it downward, Su Meiniang, who was smiling, looked at Zhao Tian'er in the opposite seat, and said with relief: "Your courage is too small." Not to mention that it's still daylight, even if it's night, we don't have to be afraid. No matter what the hell, no one has the guts to show up in our house. If that ghost really dares to stand in front of us, the slave family believes that Wen Xuan can also accept it. ”
Zhao Tian'er's nervous mood began to ease, after all, she was extremely convinced that Li Wenxuan's Taoism was unfathomable. If a little ghost dares to break into his house, then he will definitely be able to catch it. However, after thinking about it, she still didn't let go of all of it. Zhao Tian'er thought that this ghost came and went without a shadow, and she was sleeping alone, and she didn't sleep with him. In case, the ghost comes out at this interval, but it will be too unlucky.
Su Meiniang, who didn't know what she was thinking, replied to Li Wenxuan: "According to them, the night before yesterday, the watchman saw a ghost in the city. was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out last night to watch, but begged a neighbor to do it for him. As a result, the one who did not believe in evil also saw demons. ”
Li Wenxuan, who was rhythmically playing on the circle chair with five fingers of his right hand, thought about it carefully and said: "I remember that not only did it rain heavily the night before and last night, but the thunder also hit very loudly. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who nodded vigorously, would not forget the two sleepless nights, and took over the words: "Well, I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep all night." ”
Li Wenxuan, who had been confirmed, had a bottom in his heart, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
Su Meiniang thought that he was laughing at Zhao Tian'er for being too timid, so she helped and said, "Of course you are not afraid of thunder." And Tian'er is still young, and she is a little girl, so it is normal to be afraid of thunder. What are you laughing at her for? ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was "humming", pouted and said, "That's it, that's it." ”
Knowing that they had misunderstood their Li Wenxuan, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "You misunderstood what I meant. I'm not laughing at sweets, I'm laughing at those who see ghosts. Did the ghosts they see fluttering in the air in a round or oval shape, glowing brightly, but ranging in size from a few inches to a few feet? ”
Li Wenxuan felt the need to remind them, paused and continued: "If you see this happening not far from you, remember not to touch it with your body or hands. You can be curious, but don't come into contact with it. Otherwise, they can be injured or killed. The two women looked at each other even more incomprehensibly as they understood what he meant.
Zhao Tian'er, who couldn't help it, said quickly: "Sister Su and I haven't seen it with our own eyes, how can we know the Tao?" Even if someone saw it, they would have been scared away, and there would be leisure and elegance to stay and watch. Of course, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts, but only ghosts are afraid of you, after all, you are a Taoist priest and have Taoism. The vast majority of people are ordinary people like me who don't know how to hunt ghosts and demons. Nature can't compare with you. ”
Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, clearly felt that the little girl was angry. Even if she told the actual situation of her guess, she wouldn't understand. Instead of doing meaningless things on this, it is better to pass the time by gossiping with her, after all, there is still some distance before dinner time.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't plan to entangle with Zhao Tian'er about this, thought she was ignorant of a little girl, and deliberately diverted the topic and said: "You bought so many things, who spends the money?" ”
"It's all spent by Sister Su." Zhao Tianer didn't even think about it, and blurted out this objective fact.
Li Wenxuan's gaze shifted from her body to Su Meiniang's direction, and quipped: "Didn't you tell me that your inn was burned, you have nothing, and you have no way out." That's when I kindly took you in. Could it be that you will turn stones into gold? From this point of view, you are also a master hidden in the rolling red dust in my Dao Gate. ”
Su Meiniang could hear what he was saying. She could completely withstand the sarcasm and blows, and said disapprerovitically: "The slave family is indeed penniless, so I finally came to Guixi County to join you." Although it was very unfortunate, but somehow, I somehow picked up a sum of money on the way out. ”
Li Wenxuan, who understood that this was an excuse, said happily: "Since you are so lucky, then it is better to go out tomorrow." I'm sure you'll find the money bag again. Even if you count one a day, within ten days, you can pick up an inn. In the long run, you will become the richest person in my Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who stood up, walked straight to Su Meiniang's side, took her right hand, and then stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Sister Su, let's go, ignore him." He is a dead and nasty virtue. In the past, when I didn't have anything to do, I liked to make fun of me. Now, here you are. He's going to make fun of us. ”
Su Meiniang immediately stood up and followed her out of the hall. Li Wenxuan, who was like a mirror, glanced at the sky outside, and knew that the two of them were going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Thinking of what they were talking about, he slowly stood up from the house. He raised his head and carefully observed the changes in the sky.
At this moment, Li Wenxuan observed that there were more and more dark clouds gathering in the sky, and it should be another heavy rain downpour tonight. Lightning and thunder are likely to follow, after all, from spring to summer, thunderstorms will naturally become more numerous. He estimated that there was a high probability that the ghost in Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang's mouth would appear again tonight.
Zhao Tian'er, who went to the kitchen, was busy with the work in her hands, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became: "Sister Su, is the ghost really like what he said?" But I've heard that all of them are green-faced and fanged. ”
"As you said, we haven't seen it." Su Meiniang, who worships ghosts and gods in her heart, is not as worried as her, and constantly explains: "You just put your heart from your throat into your stomach, after all, there is a Taoist priest by your side who can protect us with all his might." No demons or monsters dare to harm us. ”
Zhao Tian'er's face was solemn, and she sighed: "Having said that, I am still very afraid. Shall I sleep with you tonight? ”
Su Meiniang laughed and said: "I only like to sleep with men, but I don't like to sleep with women." If you are so scared that you can't sleep, then go and sleep with him. At that point, he will be able to protect you wholeheartedly. ”
Zhao Tian'er, whose little face turned red, could hear the meaning of the words, and muttered embarrassedly in reply.
