'You give me one less thing'.

Hearing this eerie sentence, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart.

Sounds like that... Why is it so much like asking for your life?

"You... What do you want? I took a deep breath and asked calmly.

The young man looked at me with a faint face and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Am I not afraid?

Hearing his terrible words, I really cried.

"I'm afraid!"

"Very... Good. "To my surprise, the boy didn't say anything like 'I want your life'. He turned around and walked out, "Ghosts are not all good, I'm afraid... It will make you live longer..."

At the same time as stepping out of the threshold of a paper coat, the thousand-year-old white ossified yin wind left, leaving behind a white coat and a pair of blue paper shoes.

I was stunned at the door for a moment, until I heard the jingle of a bicycle riding by a passerby, and then I realized it was time to close the door.

I was in a heavy mood when I picked up the two paper figures at the door that had become tattered, and I could only put them away for now, and then talk about them later.

I packed up my things, walked out through the side door, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and exhaled all the stuffiness that had accumulated in my chest all night.

It's finally over.

Lilac left, Shan Yufei was gone, and the evil ghost broke into the shop. The matter in Zhangjiacun came to an end, Shui Jiao did not get out of trouble, and I finally had a sense of relaxation.

Looking back on the past few days, it is like a dream, and I almost forget that I am just an ordinary junior and that it is just my summer vacation.

These things... Even if you say it, no one will believe it, right? Maybe you'll be treated as a psychopath.

I thought about what I didn't have, and I wanted to go home when I got on the pedal. Unexpectedly, just after turning a corner, at the door of the inn not far away, a person was thrown out horizontally.

"Phew! If you don't have money, you dare to come to Lao Tzu's land to cheat and eat and drink. The innkeeper said with a disdainful face, looking at the young man wearing a dark Taoist robe with a gray face with disdain, "Still wearing a Taoist robe, being Lin Zhengying, making movies?" Silly. ”

"No, big brother, I am really a Taoist, you are doing well, Daosheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" The grizzled young man picked up his magic weapon and explained to the innkeeper, but with a bang, he ate the closed door without any suspense.

And I happened to pass by and saw this scene, originally I didn't have the habit of watching the excitement and meddling.

But the voice of this buddy was so familiar that I had to ride the bike back, carefully identify it, and ask with a strange expression: "Single track length?" ”

The young Taoist priest was lowering his head and sighing, and when he heard my voice, he raised his head, and when he saw me, Shan Yufei was obviously stunned, and then jumped up like an electric shock: "Damn, what the hell is it in broad daylight!" ”

… What's that?

I felt that a speechless black line had hung on my head, and I couldn't help but feel that this disciple of the black-clothed sect was really making a fuss. Moreover, is it rare to see a ghost in broad daylight? I've seen n of them all!

"Dao Chief, I'm a living person, right?"

I put down the tripod of the bicycle, put my hands on the armrests and looked at Shan Yufei with a suspicious face: "It's you, why was someone kicked out?" ”

"Brother Lin, are you really alive? Damn, I thought you had disappeared into Zhangjia Village like our predecessors in the corpse chasing faction! After Shan Yufei was sure that I was really a human and not a ghost, the expression on his face became even more excited, "Tell me quickly, what happened?" ”

"Don't worry, what's your situation now? Kicked out? "I looked at Shan Yufei strangely, it was really hard to imagine that this was a real guy with magic.

I didn't expect that it was okay if I didn't ask, as soon as I asked this, it was like poking the sad point of Shan Yufei, and before I spoke, it was a long sigh that would turn around.

"Alas~~~, I'm miserable, Brother Lin. I came to this place with my senior brother, and the head of the house gave less than a thousand yuan, and they were all held on my senior brother! I'm miserable, I haven't eaten for a day and a night! ”

When Shan Yufei said that he was emotional, he actually hugged my thigh and cried miserably.

Holy!

My face turned green at the time, and I was a little embarrassed to kick him away, especially when there were passers-by passing by, all looking at us with strange expressions.

"Damn! Talk is talking, don't do it! Shall I invite you to dinner? Let go of me! ”

"It's a deal!" Unexpectedly, before I could finish speaking, Shan Yufei, who had just cried tears and snot, immediately let go of me, and put his hippie smile on my shoulder and searched for the restaurant everywhere.

I rolled my eyes weakly, and said to myself that I was really unlucky.

In fact, I still have a good impression of this black-clothed disciple who is willing to stand up and protect me and Lilac in a critical moment, but being blackmailed out for a meal like this makes me feel a little speechless.

"Shan Dao Chief, you are obviously a person from the Xuanmen, how can you fall to the point where you can't even afford to eat?"

I pushed my bicycle and walked side by side with Shan Yufei on the street, his backpack on the back seat of the bicycle, and I could see a peachwood sword stuck horizontally.

"You think I want to? Alas, it's hard to mix things up now, brother. "Shan Yufei made another iconic 'sigh', I was afraid that he would cry miserably when he said it again, so I hurriedly stopped: "Long story short! ”

"Actually, it's nothing, you should know that our corpse chaser faction is divided into three sects, right?" Shan Yufei explained, "We black-clothed are 'corpses', and most of our spells deal with corpses. But now, with planes and cars, who needs to drive corpses? And now cremation is popular, and even a corpse can't be found, alas, if it weren't for the official relief money, we would be so poor that we would be poor enough to be pants. ”

Listening to Shan Yufei's bitter words, I couldn't help laughing a little, and I was embarrassed to laugh. After hundreds of years of fighting with each other, it is still the best in the underworld.

"Are you that miserable?" I couldn't help but quip, "I thought you guys were at ease." ”

"Isn't that bad enough?" Shan Yufei rolled his eyes, "I'm thinking about it, I can make money by doing street performances with a few senior brothers." ”

As we spoke, we found a shop that opened early, selling fried dishes, tofu brains, and breakfast porridge. Shan Yufei is a cultivator, and he can't eat meat, so he can only stare at the steaming bun greedily and swallow his saliva fiercely.

"Two of you?" I asked, finding a seat and sitting down.

"No, cultivators should refrain from eating..."Shan Yufei said and sat down opposite me, his eyes still staring at the direction of the raw frying. I didn't sit down and almost sat on the ground.

It's still taboo, and all the harazi is flowing out.

I rolled my eyes silently, and of course I didn't force him, but Shan Yufei ordered ten bowls of porridge as soon as he opened his mouth, which still startled me.

"You pigs?" I looked at him dumbfounded, Shan Yufei was pulling a fritter, and said vaguely: "Try it if you are hungry for a day and a night?" Standing and talking does not hurt your back. Well, it's pretty tasty..."

I shook my head and silently scooped the bowl of tofu brain in front of me. The steaming tofu, crisp green onions, and enticing aroma of golden jute oil really made my stomach rumble after a night of sleep.

While we were having breakfast, two people came to the table not far away, looking like they had just come down from the river. His sleeves were rolled up, and his trouser legs were stained with muddy water.

Because it was not far away, the sound of the conversation between the two after the meal also came to my ears.

"Alas, Li Laosan is a good person, how can you say that it will be gone if you don't?"

"People have good and bad luck, who can say for sure? Begging for a living on the river, who dares to say that they will not have such a day? ”

"But Li Laosan's water quality is not bad."

"What do you want to say?"

"You say, could it be a troublemaker? Li Laosan was pulled to be a substitute for the dead. ”

"Where's the talk? The more you talk about it, the more it disappears, Ren Hook has been here for so many years, have you ever heard of the troubles? ”

"Isn't this not a hook? In my opinion, there must be a drifter. ”

"Okay, okay, let's eat the bun. Don't scare yourself if you have nothing to do, we have to go and catch a few nets at night, and when you say this, will we still go? ”

The man who spoke was said by his companion, and he was speechless, and bowed his head to eat the raw fried food that had been served. And I heard their conversation, and I thought back to what they said about Li Laosan.

The gourd mouth said that it was not big, but it was not small, and the people in the city were somewhat moving.

That Li Laosan, I also heard my grandmother say, is a fisherman who eats the river by the river, pulled his two sons to study and start a family, this year should be almost sixty years old, although I have not seen it, but I have also heard people say from time to time that Li Laosan has suffered all his life, and he can finally enjoy happiness.

I didn't expect that the heavens would not fulfill people's wishes, and when it was time to enjoy happiness, something happened.

"Brother Lin, what is a water drifter?"

When I was thinking about the impermanence of the world, Shan Yufei on the other side asked me curiously while drinking porridge.

I looked at the six empty bowls on his left hand side with some astonishment, shook my head, and said, "Your voice is soft, the water drifter is talking about water ghosts in our place." We have a legend here that if a young girl dies in the river, she will become a beautiful snake, and if a man dies, she will become a water drifter, and she must pull someone to be a stand-in before she can be reincarnated. ”

"That is to say... Dead? Shan Yufei understood a little, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "It's simple, I can help them catch water ghosts!" ”

“… You? I looked at Shan Yufei in front of me suspiciously, before, the floating corpses on the river were all dealt with by the third uncle, and there must have been a water drifter, but I couldn't make waves under the hands of the third uncle.

Although Shan Yufei is a disciple of the Black-clothed Sect and does know spells, it is difficult for me to have confidence in him when I think of his equipment that seems to be bought every day.

", what kind of eyes?"

"Suspicious eyes." I'm unceremoniously blunt, completely faceless.

Shan Yufei was half choked to death by my words, put down the bowl in his hand with a red face and said, "Don't look down on people, I'll let you see my ability to do it in black tonight!" ”
