Yan Jin just came here to experience the thrilling night of Baijiazhuang, after that, he was fine during the day, but whenever it was night, he would find a temple with strong incense early, after dark, whether he could sleep or not, he would curl up in the temple, no longer go out of the temple door half a step. Although the gods and goddesses enshrined in these temples are different, and it is not clear which immortal Yan Jin is in this temple, but since ancient times, gods and ghosts have restrained each other, and it is always safest to stay in this temple at night. Fortunately, the people here seem to believe in this, so there are many such shrines along the way, and it is not difficult to find.

The sleeping place is settled, and the next thing is to eat. Yan Jin's education since he was a child did not allow him to do some things like Su Zimu. People are iron and steel, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, Yan Jin came here to deeply understand the breadth and profundity of this sentence, and he came out of the statue hall hungry early in the morning.

The temple where Yan Jin stayed last night was dedicated to a white-clothed immortal, it is said that he had stayed in many temples overnight along the way, and the expressions of the gods in those temples in the past were either serious or dignified, and even some of the statues looked very hideous, which made people tremble at a glance, I really don't know what the people who built the statues thought at the beginning.

But the immortal in front of him was kind and kind, and even had a slight smile at the corner of his eyes, Yan Jin felt an indescribable sense of intimacy when he first saw him, and he was a lot more relieved at night.

Thinking of these, Yan Jin has come to the street unconsciously, this is a very lively street market, on the left and right sides of the street are some miscellaneous small shops, eating, drinking, wearing, everything. The street is also full of all kinds of stalls, and people come and go in front of the stalls. The people on the street are either hurrying, or stopping in front of the stalls, or chatting happily, with different looks, looking at their dress, words and deeds, most of them are locals, but there are also many passers-by like Yan Jin.

Yan Jin walked all the way along the street, and the sounds of selling, shouting, and laughter came and went.

Not far ahead, a storyteller in a teahouse didn't know what to say, and the people listening to the book in the teahouse suddenly burst into laughter, and even a few hawkers at the door of the teahouse who listened attentively also laughed.

Of course, Yan Jin didn't have time to pay attention to these at the moment, filling his stomach was the right thing to do now, and it had been a whole day since his last meal. Last night, his stomach was already protesting so badly, and he finally fell asleep until dawn, and now there are bouts of discomfort in his abdomen from time to time, and even his mood is irritated.

Yan Jin walked towards a steamed bun shop on the street, just now, he was attracted by the fragrance of this steamed bun. Yan Jin has been staring at the buns in the cage drawer with bright eyes for a while, and her saliva is about to dry up, looking at the woman who is gagging with the pork stall owner next to her in front of the cage drawer, Yan Jin said with a smile, "Sister, what kind of stuffing is your bun?" Why is it so fragrant! ”

The woman looked to be in her fifties, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head to look at Yan Jin. Xu was coaxed happy by the sister of the handsome young man in front of him, or was happy when he heard someone praise her steamed buns, he immediately smiled, his little eyes bent into a slit, and he said loudly in his voice, "Ouch, little brother, even if you have vision, you can inquire in these ten miles and eight towns, my Peng Dabao's buns are famous for their thin skin and big depressions, and they are delicious and cheap." ”

Yan Jin said, "Wow, in this way, that sister is a steamed bun." ”

The woman wondered, "Little brother, who is this Shih Tzu?" ”

Yan Jin hurriedly explained, "Sister, Xi Shi is a sinking fish and a wild goose, and a great beauty who is ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, that is to say, your beauty is not as good as the fish in the water, the geese in the sky, the moon in the sky, and the flowers in the garden." Thinking that no one here knows about this anyway, in order to have a full meal, Yan Jin just closed his eyes and blew it.

"Hahahaha...... Hahahahaha......" After hearing Yan Jin's words, the stall owner of the pork stall on the side laughed heartily, and joked while laughing, "Peng Dabao, you have lived for more than 50 years, and you have become a great beauty when you are old, if you are a great beauty, is there an ugly daughter-in-law in this world?" ”

Yan Jin hurriedly explained, "Uncle, you don't understand this, my sister's age is a kind of mature beauty, where can those little girls have, and my sister doesn't look old at all." ”

"Go, go, go, what do you know, or this little brother has vision", the woman waved away the laughing pork stall owner with one hand, and stretched out her hand to greet Yan Jin, "Come on, little brother, come and try the lady's handiwork, today the lady invites you to eat buns for free." ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Yan Jin hurriedly walked over, reached out and took the bag containing the buns handed over by the woman, her smile became brighter and brighter, her mouth became a little sweeter, and said, "Thank you, sister, you are so nice." ”

The woman smiled, "Hahaha, okay, let's go eat, it's not enough for the eldest lady to have it here, it's full." ”

Yan Jin said, "Sister, it's enough, it's enough." Yan Jin looked at the buns in the bag in his hand, saving these enough for him to eat for two days.

Yan Jin thanked him several times in succession, and then took out a bun from the paper bag and couldn't wait to take a big bite, it tasted really good. A bun was gone in a few bites, and with the bottom in her stomach, Yan Jin felt a lot more comfortable.

After Yan Jin said goodbye to the woman and the pork stall owner, she took out another bun and slowly walked down the street while eating.

Looking at the back of Yan Jin leaving, the stall owner of the pork stall said, "I said Dabao, who was that little beggar just now?" How could he have so much money? The money he just gave you is enough to sell you for a year, right? ”

"Oh, don't care so much, I don't think that little brother is an ordinary person, let's just don't care so much after we collect the money, and I have done the things he explained." The woman replied as she cleaned up the empty cage drawer.

Yan Jin was full of food and drink, it was still early, so he wandered slowly on the street, looking east and west, he had been here for more than a month, he had been on the road, and he had never been idle to take a good stroll. Just when Yan Jin was walking aimlessly on the street, he didn't know that from the moment he just stepped into this street, there had been a pair of eyes watching him in a corner not far behind him, and his every move completely fell on those eyes full of spirituality.

Yan Jin was penniless and couldn't buy anything now, and after a while, he felt bored, so he turned around and walked towards the temple where he lived last night.

Before he arrived, from a distance, Yan Jin heard a burst of beating and scolding in front of him, he hurriedly ran over, and saw a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers fighting in front of the temple, to be precise, only one teenager was being beaten from beginning to end, and the others were either punching and kicking, or watching the excitement by their sleeves, except for the beaten teenager on the ground, the rest of the people had a cynical evil smile on their faces.

"What are you doing?" Yan Jin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Stop." ”

The teenagers who beat people didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to stop them, so they all stopped their movements in their hands and feet at the moment, and looked in the direction of Yan Jin in a daze.

Several teenagers saw that Yan Jin was only one person, and there was no weapon in his hand, as if he was a poor and sour scholar, and a young man led by him smiled contemptuously, "Where did you come from, poor ghost, don't meddle in things, get out!" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the beaten young man who was lying on the ground suddenly became cold for a moment, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a straight line, he clenched his fists vigorously, and was just about to get up, when he heard Yan Jin's grinning voice in his ears, "You group of children, how big can you ......?"

"Hit him."

Before Yan Jin finished speaking, the teenagers ran towards him with their fists, Yan Jin couldn't dodge, and in a hurry, he took out the folding fan in his arms and flew out, the folding fan flashed in front of the eyes of several teenagers, knocked them to the ground one by one, and flew back to Yan Jin's hand.

Yan Jin looked at the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Oh, tell me, why are you so short-tempered at your young age", seeing that the young man who was just now was about to struggle to stand up, Yan Jin hurriedly said, "Hey, I advise you not to continue to entangle, you have all seen my power just now, na, my fan is not long-eyed." After Yan Jin finished speaking, he deliberately shook the folding fan in his hand in front of him.

Several teenagers had just suffered a loss, and they were angry in their hearts, but they were afraid of the folding fan in Yan Jin's hand, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and the young man led by him said fiercely, "You wait for me, don't let me see you again." After speaking, he got up and led the group of teenagers away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to threaten the young man who had just been beaten, "Little beggar, can you touch my son's clothes?" Next time I won't break your hand. At this time, Yan Jin noticed that there were indeed a few black and dirty palm prints on the young man's white clothes.

As soon as the teenagers left, Yan Jin hurriedly walked over and helped the teenager lying on the ground up, and asked, "Little friend, are you okay?" ”

The young man's eyes had been staring at Yan Jin since just now, and after hearing Yan Jin's words at this time, his eyes instantly lit up, his eyes were full of joy, and he curled the corners of his red and swollen mouth and smiled, "It's too ......, it's great, Childe, you're finally back." ”

Yan Jin looked at the young man, pointed at himself with a finger, and asked, "You?" Waiting for me? Do we know each other? ”

The young man was slightly stunned for a moment, and soon said with a smile, "I didn't know Childe, but I happened to see Childe last night when I spent the night in this temple." ”

"You were here last night?" Yan Jin had obviously looked around in this statue hall before going to bed last night, and there was no one else except him.

The young man seemed to see Yan Jin's question, and explained, "I only came in the middle of the night last year, and you were already asleep when I came. ”

Yan Jin nodded, "Oh, I see. "It seems that I slept too deeply last night and didn't notice the arrival of the boy.

The young man's eyes were always staring at Yan Jin without blinking, and only then did Yan Jin notice that the young man's face and exposed arms and legs were blue and purple, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "Let's go, let's go inside." Then he went to help the boy get up.

At this time, I saw the young man jump up from the ground with a "puff", he patted the dirt on his body, and said with a smile, "Childe, I'm fine, these are just some skin injuries, it's okay." ”

Yan Jin saw that the young man in front of him did not look like he was seriously injured, so he walked over and took the young man's hand and walked towards the statue hall, and asked, "Little friend, what's your name?" ”

The young man behind him slowly spat out a word, "Read." ”

Yan Jin said, "Read? Just one word? So what's your last name? ”

"What's the last name?"

Yan Jin found a corner in the temple and sat down, and when she saw the puzzled expression of the young man behind her, she beckoned to him, and then patted the place next to her and motioned for him to come and sit down.

At this time, Yan Jin held her chin with her right hand, her index finger and middle finger took turns poking the dimples on her cheek, thought about it for a while, and finally asked in a different way, "What's your father's name, and your mother?" ”

"I don't have a father or mother, and I don't have a home." The young man seemed to hesitate for a moment before he walked over to Yan Jin and sat down.

Yan Jin knew that she had lost her words, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry." ”

The young man looked at Yan Jin and said, "Childe doesn't have to apologize, I'm fine." ”

Yan Jin saw that the young man didn't seem to care very much, and there was no sad expression on his face, so he relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but patiently explained to the young man, "The surname is the word in front of the name, for example, my name is... Forehead... Su Zimu, Su is my last name. Yan Jin thought about it and thought that it would be better for him to call Su Zimu the name, Yan Jin didn't belong here after all, and if he met Su Zimu's acquaintances in the future, he could also reduce unnecessary trouble, although he knew that the possibility of this kind of thing happening was almost zero.

"Childe, you said your name is Su ...... Su Zimu? After listening to Yan Jin's words, the young man asked hesitantly.

Yan Jin nodded and said, "That's right, the surname is Su Ziyun and the name is Zimu." ”

The young man looked at Yan Jin's eyes, and there was a very bright smile on his face, and his voice was full of joy, and said, "I will have whatever Childe's surname is, because I was born because of Childe!" ”

Yan Jin choked the saliva that she didn't have time to swallow in her mouth, and said while coughing, "Ahem, ahem, seeing that you are young, sultry, ahem, but high cough cough hand, I, ahem, if you are a girl, ahem, I will immediately go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to get a marriage certificate, ahem, ahem." ”

The young man seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't know if he understood Yan Jin's words, so he patted Yan Jin on the back and said, "Childe, what I said is true, I won't lie to you." ”

Finally calmed down, Yan Jin looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Oh, what are you anxious about, I didn't say I didn't believe you, you just said that you have my surname, then you will have the surname Yan in the future, it is called Yannian, it is a very nice name." Ah Nian, are you willing to follow me from now on? Yan Jin somehow likes the young man in front of her, and always feels an indescribable sense of intimacy, anyway, she is alone, and it is not bad to have someone by her side.

Yan Nian nodded busily and said, "Childe, I am willing." But why am I called Yannian? Childe, aren't you surnamed Su? ”

"Of course my surname is Su, but my mother's surname is Yan, so you have the surname Yan, oops, don't care so much." Yan Jin was talking nonsense seriously, and then changed his face and asked, "Don't you want to follow me?" ”

"Of course I do, I've been waiting for you, I ......," Yan Nian replied incoherently.

Yan Jin saw that he no longer asked about his surname, so he raised his hand and touched his head and said, "What nonsense?" I'll start by saying okay, I'm very poor, and it's a problem to eat poorly, so follow me, and you have to be prepared to starve. Na, this is a few buns given by a lady just now, you should pad your stomach first. As she spoke, Yan Jin took out a paper bag from her arms and handed it to Yan Nian.

Yan Nian didn't take the paper bag in Yan Jin's hand, only to see him take out a money bag from his arms and hand it to Yan Jin, and said with a smile, "Childe, you don't have to worry, we have money." ”

Yan Jin took the money bag from Yan Nian's hand suspiciously, checked it in his hand, it was very heavy, and after opening it and looking inside, he stared at Yan Nian seriously and said, "Ah Nian, where did this silver come from?" Yan Jin only glanced at it just now, and saw that the money bag was full of white silver.

Yan Nian didn't seem to know how to answer, and muttered, "I, I...... This is me—" He glanced at Yan Jin cautiously, and then said dejectedly, "I exchanged this silver for the burial goods I stole from the cemetery, I'm sorry, Childe, I was wrong, I won't do this in the future." ”

Yan Jin didn't ask any further, but just repeated Yan Nian's words, and said, "Cemetery, burial goods, silver." ”

Suddenly, Yan Jin grabbed Yan Nian's hand and said, "Ah Nian, when you stole those funeral items, did you ever touch a ghost?" ”

Yan Nian didn't know why Yan Jin suddenly asked this, and stammered, "Ghost...... Ghosts, ghosts? ”

Yan Jin said, "Yes, it's a ghost, a ghost that people become when they die." ”

Yan Nian replied honestly, "Yes." ”

"Aren't you afraid, then? How did you escape? ”

Yan Nian said, "Childe, Ah Nian is not afraid of ghosts, ghosts can't beat Ah Nian." ”

Yan Jin was pleasantly surprised, "Ah Nian, you mean you can catch ghosts?" ”

Yan Nian scratched his head and replied, "Well, so to speak. ”

Although Yan Jin was also unbelievable, the young man in front of him didn't look like he could lie, and he didn't know why, Yan Jin just felt that he could believe him.

Yan Nian looked at Yan Jin and asked timidly, "Childe, aren't you angry with Ah Nian?" ”

Yan Jin lightly tapped Yan Nian's forehead with her hand and quipped, "What have you been thinking about all day long in your little head?" Why should I be angry? My Ah Nian is so powerful, it's too late for me to be happy! We all have to do those things to live, how can I be angry with you? Well, with me, you won't let you do such a dangerous thing again. ”

Yan Nian looked at Yan Jin and said softly in his heart, "Prince, thank you for coming back, as long as Ah Nian is here in the future, you will never be hurt again." ”

"Ah Nian, can you not call me son, how nice it is to call my brother."

"No, no, no, son, son is son, how can you call brother!"

"Why are you so stubborn, kid?"

"Childe, this is not stubbornness, this is ......"

"Okay, whatever you want, son, son, go to sleep, tomorrow we have to get up early and hurry, if those teenagers find us, it will be miserable."

"Childe, Ah Nian is not afraid of them, Ah Nian ......"

“……”

At night, the temple was quiet and peaceful, and the white-clothed immortal in front of the hall was still smiling, as if he was looking at the two young people in the corner of the hall, one big and one small. A few vague shadows occasionally floated outside the temple, and they all flashed, as if they were very afraid and did not dare to stay longer.
