Everyone only saw Xing Ruyi chattering around the coffin three times, but they didn't know that she secretly summoned a ghost to detain the ghost of Grandma Liu, who wanted to make trouble, to the underworld.

Supposedly, after this person dies, he will not be taken to the underworld immediately. According to the agreement between the Yin and Yang worlds, after a person dies, the ghost will leave some time for these deceased people to do what they wanted to do but didn't have time to do, to meet the people they wanted to see but didn't have time to see in life, and to complete some things that have not yet been completed. But there are exceptions to everything, like Grandma Liu, who is obsessed and still stubborn after death, she can only ask the ghost to forcibly drag them to the underworld. As for what will happen to her after she arrives in the underworld, it is not something that Xing Ruyi should worry about.

Seeing that the ghost had dragged Grandma Liu's soul out of the coffin, he stepped back, raised his hand, and signaled to the craftsmen that they could carry the coffin.

A few men, you look at me, I look at you, each gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that it was a big deal to be ugly again. Several people shouted slogans in private, and tried to lift it together, but this time the coffin was lifted very easily. Around, the crowd who watched the excitement began to talk again.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief, and the relatives of the Liu family also breathed a sigh of relief. Gather the team, blow and blow, and continue to set off. Xing Ruyi stood at the door of the rouge shop, watching the coffin go away, but heard a child next to him say: "Hey, why doesn't that old woman go back?" ”

"Shh Xing Ruyi leaned over, quickly covered the child's mouth, and whispered: "That old grandmother is not from the Liu family, she is a bad person who has been mixed in, and she has been taken away by the official." Oh, do you see that rope? It's for binding up bad guys. So, let's be quiet, don't make a noise. If you scare someone, it's not good. ”

The child was innocent, looked at her with a pair of eyes as clear as water, and asked in a low voice, "Can't anyone else see them?" If they could see it, then why didn't they say it? ”

"That's because ......" Xing Ruyi continued to tell white lies: "That's because they know that the Liu family has lost a relative, and they are all sad and sad, and they can't bear to tell them that there is a bad guy who wants to make trouble." So, we also have to keep it a secret, and don't tell others about it? ”

"Good!" The child nodded and stretched out his little finger: "We pull the hook, and no one tells anyone." ”

"Pull the hook!" Xing Ruyi also stretched out a finger, pulled the hook, smiled, and touched the child's head lovingly.

When night fell, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. Xing Ruyi held the stove and leaned against the window to look out. The candlelight fell through the window lattice into the courtyard, and the snowflakes fell in the candlelight.

"What is my sister looking at?"

The magpie put the hot tea on the table, rubbed his hands together and walked to the window, following Xing Ruyi's line of sight.

"Look at the snow."

"What's so nice about snow." The magpie turned around and went back to the house: "The most important thing in Luoyang City is snow, and it rains twice a year in winter." ”

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter have their own scenery, but in winter, you can see the snow. This heavy snow has the beauty of heavy snow, and this small snow also has the charm of small snow. ”

"The magpie that my sister said can't understand, the magpie only knows that the heavy snow fell a few days ago, and I don't know how many people in Luoyang City froze to death."

Xing Ruyi looked at the magpie and didn't speak.

"My sister hasn't been to the place where we stayed. Although they are all in Luoyang City, this place is different from place to place, and from person to person. My family is fine, at least there is a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and my father and mother are also diligent, and working all day will not make me and my younger siblings run out of food. But some people don't have such good luck, they don't have a house, they don't have food, and they don't even want to give them a job. When it was hot, they slept in dilapidated temples. When the weather was cold, they still slept in the desolate temple.

In summer, there are many insects, and they are often bitten all over the body, and even contracted some unknown strange diseases. They are very poor and have no money to see a doctor and take medicine, so they can only endure and survive. If you get through it, you will continue to live, and if you can't survive it, you can only die.

They didn't have the pomp of the Liu family, and after they died, they didn't even have a broken mat that could wrap themselves, so they buried them casually. There were no decent graves, no tombstones, and it was as if they had never been to this world.

Winter, a little better than summer, but they are most afraid of rain and snow, because it is difficult to find food on such days. ”

As the magpie spoke, his eyes turned red. She turned her back, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and when she turned around again, she had a smile on her face again.

"How do you know that?" Xing Ruyi looked at the magpie's red eyes.

The magpie pouted and said: "I was very wild when I was a child, and I often went to play in the broken temple, and I have been to almost all the broken temples in Luoyang City." The more you go, the more people you see, the more you hear, and the more you know. A lot of people hate beggars, they are lazy, gluttonous, and dirty, but I know that many of them are good people. In the words of my father, in this world, if you are forced to do so, who wants to be a dirty and undesirable beggar. ”

There are people who really want to, but many, many years later.

Xing Ruyi said in his heart.

"It's cold outside, so my sister still shouldn't stand at the window." The magpie took the stove, handed the hot tea to Xing Ruyi, and after she left the window, quickly went over and closed the window.

The Liu family, the daughter-in-law of Dalang, who had not yet taken off her filial piety clothes, quietly went out. She didn't have an umbrella with her, and she didn't have a cloak, and the snow fell on her body, and in a few moments it turned into droplets.

She walked through the alleys, across the streets, and finally to the door of the Ruyi Rouge Shop. Looking up, he looked at the five words "Ruyi Rouge Shop" on the plaque, and after a little hesitation, he reached out and pushed the door.

The door is hidden.

The moment the door was pushed open, a candle fell on her face.

She has been to this shop before, and she is quite familiar with the furnishings inside, but there are more things in the rouge shop that no one can tell or understand at night.

"Coming?"

Dalang's daughter-in-law was startled and almost jumped on the spot.

When I turned around, I saw the female shopkeeper of the Ruyi Rouge Shop. Unlike when they met during the day, she wore a crimson dress with large dark flowers embroidered on it. The texture of the clothes was special, the kind she had never seen before.

Seeing her turn around, Xing Ruyi put aside the lantern she was holding in her hand and lightly opened her lips, "I'm sorry, I didn't scare Mrs. just now, did you?" ”

Dalang's daughter-in-law looked at Xing Ruyi, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Look at Madame's face, she should be frightened by me."

"No, no, how can the shopkeeper scare me. I'm just a little worried about what's happening at home, and I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so my face has deteriorated. ”

"It just so happens that the main thing in my Ruyi Rouge shop is all kinds of rouge. There is one that suits the lady very well. ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law stammered, and for a while forgot the purpose of coming to the rouge shop late at night.

Xing Ruyi walked to the lattice containing the rouge gouache, deliberately stepped his feet, and took the things that were placed in the top compartment.

A quaint little wooden box, the small wooden box contained a porcelain vase that had always been milky white, and on the porcelain vase was painted with a cluster of small flowers that she had never seen before.

"This box of rouge is very suitable for Madame to use now." Xing Ruyi handed the small wooden box to Dalang's daughter-in-law. "I know what Madame is asking for when she comes to the door late at night. Madame rest assured, just use this box of rouge, and you will meet the person you want to meet. ”

"Just need this box of rouge?"

"Just use this box of rouge." Xing Ruyi pointed to the box: "Madame has asked someone to inquire about my Ruyi Rouge Shop, and she should also know something about the past of my Rouge Shop." What I sell in this shop is not ordinary rouge gouache, if it is not for the fate of someone, even if I take a thousand gold, I can't buy it. ”

As he spoke, Xing Ruyi's words changed, and he said: "You and I have met several times, and it can be regarded as fate, and this box of rouge will be given to Mrs. you tonight." Oh, by the way, if Madame just wants to be beautiful, just follow the usual habit of using rouge. If the lady wants to find someone and wants to see that person, she needs to light a red candle in front of the bronze mirror and smear it on the mirror. Don't, the more you use this rouge, the more hope you have of seeing that person. ”
