Chapter 109: Laba

When a person dies and turns into a ghost and enters the Strange Mansion (Strange Realm), does he start a new life, or is he reincarnated like the legend? Or will it end up in the chaotic Asura Purgatory?

I do not know.

For those of us who are alive, it is perhaps the most important thing to strive for truth and justice, to seriously savor life, to feel the joy, pain, ups and downs, and to live in the present.

I came home with the help of the fat man, and it was already dark. When I opened the locked door, I told my adoptive parents that it was fine, and then I couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the first thing I heard was the loud sound of firecrackers in my ears, and my eyes drifted out of the window, and the night was already dark.

"Wake up, wake up!" My adoptive mother cheered, hurriedly ran over, took my hand, and tears were about to fall out: "Little bolt, where do you hurt?" Hungry or not? Dizzy? The adoptive father and grandmother also gathered around, looking concerned.

I rolled over and sat up, my head a little broken.

Isn't it just a good night's sleep? Why do you still ask me if I'm dizzy? Not only do I not feel dizzy, but I also feel energetic and alive! It's true that I'm a little hungry.

"I'll just say uncle and aunt, you think too much, he's just tired and sleeping, it's okay......" The fat man hugged my sister in his arms, took square steps in front of the bed, jumping and jumping, looking funny.

"I ...... How long do I sleep? ”

"You slept for four days and three nights!"

The fat man laughed: "Do you know what day it is?" Today is Laba, you kid must have smelled the fragrance of Laba porridge, so he was willing to get up, right? Hey! There are dumplings today, ...... with leeks and five flowers."

The fat bird Lao Bi didn't know when he also flew in, and landed at the head of my bed and quacked and shouted: "What's so delicious about Laba porridge and leek dumplings, Laba garlic with Texas grilled chicken is the best thing, tsk......"

It seems that this thing will only be pretending to be a "normal bird" for a few days at most, and sooner or later, the nature of the nerve knife will be violent and let itself go.

Ah Huang also came in, stretching out his long tongue in front of the bed and waging his tail at me, and his injured teeth seemed to be fine.

I'll go...... How long have I slept for me? It seems that after using the True Qi and Possession Seal in the body to the limit, he is really too tired, and he has exceeded the load that his body can bear.

When I woke up, the whole family was smiling, and the fat man put Xiao Nizi on my bed.

This cute little guy twisted his ass bones, crawled on the bed, winked at me with a pair of big watery eyes, stretched out two small hands, and muttered indistinctly: "Brother...... Brother...... Brother ......"

I'm not surprised that Xiao Nizi is well, but she can still talk! Haha, what a big surprise!

The adoptive mother was also smiling from ear to ear, and even said that this girl was smart, and she didn't know how to get it after waking up, and suddenly she would crawl and shout people, and she could call her father and mother, and she even said milk yesterday, but it seemed to be the first time to call her brother.

The fat man looked loveless, and said aggrievedly that he had taught for two days, and this little guy didn't call him, why would I call my brother as soon as I woke up?

Looking at this cute little girl, I don't want to mention the joy in my heart. At this moment, what kind of such as overnight practice, vicious zombie fighting, exhausting black dog blood, and sleeping for a few days and nights is simply not worth mentioning, it is too worthwhile!

She is the orphan of my classmate, a hard-working child, and since I promised to take good care of them, I must do what I say.

According to our rural parlance, children are all three, six, sitting and crawling, walking and talking are things that can only be done outside the age of one.

This little girl is by no means a year old when she looks horizontally and vertically, but she can speak, not so much as being smart, but presumably having the influence of experiencing the corpse ghost.

This is a relatively advanced scientific question, and I don't read much and don't understand it very well.

But it is said that every time a baby has a fever, there is a certain increase in intelligence, and it is not known whether it is the heat that promotes the regeneration of brain cells or what.

And the recovery after the corpse charm is probably the same reason. Of course, this is my guess.

Outside the window was the deafening, joyful sound of firecrackers, I stared at the little guy's big clear and translucent eyes, only to feel that these eyes were as bright as stars, and their eyes were as bright as diamonds.

It seems to be pregnant with the starry sky of the universe, and at the same time gives people a sense of freshness and refinement from the rest of the world, which is fascinating, and it is even more beautiful than her biological mother Feng Qianqian's beautiful eyes.

I couldn't help but pick up the little one and kiss her fleshy cheek so hard that she giggled like a silver bell.

According to my custom here, Laba Festival is mainly two meals and one pickled.

Two eating refers to eating ice and drinking laba porridge. Laba porridge is more common, but our hometown is still divided into sweet porridge and salty porridge, and the taste is different.

Ice is a kind of starch mixed with sweet potatoes and potatoes, which is sweetened, washed with boiling water, and left outside overnight, and the next day it will freeze, and the taste will be like a popsicle.

Pickling, as in most parts of the north, refers to the pickling of laba garlic. This garlic is pickled on the day of Laba Festival, and it is eaten with vinegar when eating vegetarian dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which tastes wonderful.

At the dinner table, the adoptive parents asked about the events of that night, and I didn't hide it, and chased the vicious fight to the Beiwan Forest in the north of the village, and told me about the process of exterminating the black cat corpse.

also told the truth about this little girl's life experience and the situation of her biological mother Feng Qianqian.

Since they entrusted the child to us, even if we are justified, the more we know about this little girl, the better.

Listening to my story, the adoptive mother was amazed, and even the grandmother frequently pricked up her ears, sighing that she didn't expect Xiao Nizi's life experience to be so bitter, we really have to treat her well, and the Zhang family is too ruthless.

The adoptive father said that the people in the village had been rumored that there was a black panther in Beiwan Forest who came out day and night, so that no one dared to burn paper at night, and he didn't expect it to be a black cat that had become a spirit.

I laughed, remembering the hideous appearance of the black cat corpse and the shape of a little piglet, which suddenly looked like a leopard.

After the Laba Festival, it is considered to have officially entered the New Year's Pass. When I was in Zhengzhou, I bought a lot of gifts, and when I was in the county seat, I bought some more, and now I have to start delivering them door-to-door.

Our relatives here pay attention to two sends, once at the end of the year, once at the end of the year, and once every year, which is not exempt from vulgarity. I thought in my heart that there were two families that I must go to first, one was the village chief's house, and the other was He Tongtong's house.

The main reason for going to the village chief's house was to register Xiao Nizi, and He Tongtong was there to visit Aunt Gu.

Lijiawa Village is not big, it is a small village with only more than 200 people, and the village chief's house is not far from my house, which is the second household at the east entrance of the village.

Speaking of which, Li Shengli, the son of the village chief, and I grew up bare-bones, although he is two years older than me and is not in the same class, but he also goes to school and is a good buddy, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.

And according to the seniority, I still have to call the village chief the sixth uncle, although I still don't know what the sixth uncle thinks.
