Chapter 179: Almond Cake (5)
"Is it delicious?"
"It's not delicious!"
"I'm going to be sad if you say that."
"You won't!" The little girl pinched a piece of almond crisp and put it in her mouth: "You...... Why help me? ”
"Don't you think it's annoying that you're crying all day?"
"That's because ......"
"That's because you think I'm ruining your good deeds."
The little girl kept her head shut.
"Is it delicious?" Xing Ruyi asked again.
The little girl looked up at her and replied sullenly, "It's not as delicious as my mother's cooking." ”
"I know." Xing Ruyi raised his head and laughed: "The best food in the world must be made by my mother." ”
"You're better than my mother."
"Thanks, I'll just think you're complimenting me."
The little girl pursed her lips embarrassedly and asked, "What will happen to me?" ”
"How's that?"
"I recognize the sign on your waist, and the onicha who came to take me away also has one, but it's not as good as the one you have hanging on you. I heard my mother say that after a person dies, he will go to the underworld to report, but I can't bear my mother. ”
"Do you want to go back and see your mother?"
Xing Ruyi asked softly, and the little girl hesitated and shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'll scare my mother like this. ”
"I can ......"
"No need." The little girl interrupted Ruyi's words: "My mother said that you can't always let others help. My mother also said that the money owed is easy to repay, and the people who owe it are not easy to repay. Actually, I didn't mean to. ”
"What?"
"I didn't think I was going to be that bad." The little girl looked at the almond crisp in her hand in a daze: "When he put me in the well, I wasn't dead, but I couldn't shout, my throat was very bitter and painful." I tried to ask for help, but my arms were hanging down, so heavy and heavy, like two very large stones were tied. I tried to keep my eyes open, but I could only open a small slit and see only a little green light. At that time, I was scared, and I really wanted to go back to my father and mother.
Later, I felt colder and darker, and gradually I couldn't even see that little bit of green light, and I was scared and hated the person who had hurt me. Later, I saw a bright light, and I thought someone had come to save me, but I only saw two sheep. ”
Xing Ruyi looked at the little girl and didn't say anything.
"Then I saw the ghost and came to catch me. He was dressed in black, very black clothes, but it was strange that his clothes were so black that I could see him at a glance. He is not as afraid of people as in his mother's story, just like a very ordinary uncle in the village, but I know that he is a ghost, and he is here to arrest me.
Am I not very smart, when I saw that ghost, I knew that I was dead, and I could never come out of that place again, and I would never be able to return to my father's mother's side. ”
As she spoke, the little girl began to weep. Xing Ruyi frowned, and found that the air flow around her changed with the little girl's crying. The cry of this terrible ghost is really terrifying.
She turned and glanced at the fox who had been standing behind her. The fox shook his head and cast a spell to dispel the terrifying aura brought by the little girl.
"At that time, I only had one thought, that is, I must not be caught by the ghost, if I was caught by him, I would really never see my father and mother again. I fled, and then found a small cave and hid myself until the official and the official took me out of the dry well. ”
"To tell you the truth, the official is not bad."
"I didn't want to hurt him, and I couldn't help myself. I knew he must have come to investigate my case, so I took advantage of Aunt Cuihua to attach herself to her as she passed me. I hid in the crowd just to see how the official judged my case and whether he could catch the man who killed me. ”
"The love of the devil."
"Somehow, the official bumped into Aunt Cuihua, and then I was sucked by an inexplicable force. When I woke up again, I was already on the official's body. ”
"That's not your ordinary demon."
"It seems like yes. Like when I attached to Aunt Cuihua, although I don't know exactly how I did it, I knew that I was in the body of Aunt Cuihua, and I could manipulate her to do what I wanted, but this time it was different, I seemed to be controlled by something. At first, I was weak, and I always wanted to leave the official's body, but the more I struggled, the more I felt pain, and the more painful I became, the more angry I became, and in the end, I seemed to become a monster that even I found terrifying. Actually, I'm grateful to you for making me less scary. ”
"I don't blame you, that official should also be used by someone with a heart."
"Will you take me to the underworld?" The little girl asked with some concern: "If I do something bad, will I be fried in the oil pan?" ”
"If you follow the rules of the underworld, you should be punished, but for the sake of you being so cute and honest, I can help you intercede. Although you will still receive some punishments, it should not be your turn to go up the knife mountain and get into the oil pot for such a cool thing. ”
"Cool?"
"Oh, my words, you don't have to worry about what that word means." Xing Ruyi waved his hand: "You haven't told me yet, are you willing to return to the underworld?" ”
The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "I listen to Madame's arrangement, Madame tells me to go, I will go, if Madame doesn't let me, I will always stay with Madame." Don't worry, I'll be obedient and won't be noisy anymore. ”
"What you said is so pitiful, it makes me a little embarrassed for a while, and I don't know what to do with you." Xing Ruyi wrinkled his nose: "Forget it, before I leave here, you can stay by my side." ”
"Isn't Madame leaving?"
"Well, there's still some things that haven't been done."
……
It is not difficult to find the fox that can walk, and the foxes in the mortal world all recognize the fox of Qingqiu as their ancestor, but what surprised Xing Ruyi was that the fox who could walk like a human was not a cultivator, but was controlled by a spell. To put it bluntly, it is a puppet, a fox manipulated by the people behind the scenes.
The person behind this scene is naturally Mr. Qiu who lives in the ancient tomb.
Ancient tombs, no matter how well they are cleaned up, are still ancient tombs.
There were two cups of tea on the stone-carved table, one of which was placed in front of Xing Ruyi.
Tea is clear tea, but it exudes a faint aroma.
Xing Ruyi sniffed lightly and smelled a familiar smell.
"Madame, please!"
Mr. Qiu, who was sitting opposite, did not open his mouth, but Xing Ruyi heard a slightly magnetic voice. There is a kind of magic in this voice, which can make you unconsciously lift the cup of tea in front of you.
Xing Ruyi held the teacup and handed it to his lips but did not drink it. She raised her head, looked into Mr. Qiu's eyes, and said softly, "Has Mr. been to the underworld?" I heard that the side of Huangquan Road is full of flowers, is Mr. interested in going and watching? ”
"Who are you?" Mr. Qiu half-narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?" ”
"You won't know!" Xing Ruyi hooked his lips and smiled, but Mr. Qiu hung his head and fell on the stone table.
Behind Mr. Qiu, the fox appeared, his hands around his chest, and glared at Xing Ruyi in displeasure.
"Alright, alright, I'll bring you with me next time." Xing Ruyi waved his hand, opened his mouth and took a sip of tea: "Well, the taste is a little worse than the one in the house." ”
The fox shook his head and pointed at Mr. Qiu, who was lying on Shi Zhuo: "What is he going to do?" ”
"Husband, just watch and dispose of it." Xing Ruyi stretched his waist: "I'm pregnant, and the big things have been done, how can I bother with these little things." Oh, by the way, can you deal with the fox at the door? ”
"It's just an ordinary fox, it's been released from its imprisonment and released back into the mountains."
"Choose a fox as the messenger, guess what grievances did this Mr. Qiu suffer from you before he crawled out of the ground?"
The fox frowned, looking like he had nothing to do with me.
Xing Ruyi looked at it for a while, covered his mouth and laughed: "Let's go, you haven't seen an old friend for a while." ”
