Chapter 4: Crossing People and Ghosts (3)
The next day, Xia Mu opened his eyes, but he still didn't realize where he was. I was stunned for a while, and when everything was in my head, I immediately touched my hand to the small bed I had built last night next to my bed. What about dogs?!
Why is the dog gone!! Xia Mu jumped up from the bed and searched for a long time in the room, shouting and shouting: "Little dog, where are you?" Come out, don't hide, come out quickly. We're leaving this inn today, it's useless for you to hide here, hurry up and get out. Good dog, come out. However, the room is so big, and the place to hide is very limited, and I didn't find a single dog hair after searching around. In frustration, Xia Mu put on his clothes first and prepared to go outside to look for them.
The moment she opened the door, she immediately saw a snow-white lump huddled in the corner in front of the door, what was not the little white dog last night. was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and hugged the little white dog in his arms for a long time: "Why are you so naughty, you actually ran outside by yourself." How did you get out? ”
"It's male." Situ Lan's voice suddenly appeared.
was so frightened that Xia Mu almost fell with a weak leg, holding the dog with one hand and stroking his heart with the other: "I said Situ Lan, this early in the morning, people will be scared to death!" Why are you always so elusive? ”
"It's male." Situ Lan repeated again.
"I know it's male, huh? So what? "Xia Mu is confused, the puppy is either a female or a male, is there any problem?
“…… You have breakfast first. Situ Lan sighed silently, bypassed the summer curtain, and went downstairs first.
Only the summer curtain who was still holding the puppy was stunned in place, why...... It feels like he's not getting out of bed, isn't it?
I went back to the room and tidied up my clothes again, took Chang'an, and followed the dog downstairs.
In the hall of the inn. "Puppy, where is your master? Can you smell it and find it yourself? What if you can't find your way home? Will you starve to death, or will you be beaten to death? While eating breakfast by himself, Xia Mu put one in front of the little white dog, and then the chattering mouth did not stop.
Situ Lan didn't eat anything, just drank hot tea, and the mist covered his somewhat wrinkled forehead.
"It's not a dog." Situ Lan said.
"Huh?! Not a dog? What is that? Xia Mu stopped his chopsticks and looked stunned.
"Fox."
"What? It is...... Fox? Xia Mu put down his chopsticks, picked up the small thing he was eating again, and held it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully. Is this a fox? Speaking of which, I really haven't seen foxes up close, at most on TV, in books, or in zoos. No wonder it looks weird, it's not Bo Mei, it's a little fox!
"Wow! I'm going to have a lot of luck, too! It's amazing that you can pick up a fox. "Summer is unbelievable.
"A useless little fox." Situ Lan seemed to bite the word useless very hard.
"Where is it useless, you see how beautiful it looks, I said, how can there be such a beautiful dog, it turns out to be a fox! Hahaha......"
"What's the use of looking good."
"Of course, it's useful to look good, and people can feel happy when they see it. Oops, it's so small, it's just a little fox. What do you expect it to do? You see how soft and warm it is, you can make a hand warmer bag in your arms, isn't it useful? ”
"You like hand warmers like this?" Situ Lan was puzzled.
"Of course I do!" Ouch, I don't like it, it's so cute that I can't wait to take a bite.
"Then I'll go and make a few big ones, I can make anything, this one is too small, it's not enough to make gloves." Situ Lan was still expressionless, but he scared Xia Mu enough.
"Ouch hey!" As soon as Xia Mu grabbed the fox's head, he stuffed it under his cloak. His eyes widened in horror and said aggrievedly: "Situ Lan, why are you so cruel!" ”
Xia Mu felt that what he said was like saying to you in front of a dog lover: Go, I'll slaughter a dog for you, the meat is delicious, and the meat in your hand is not delicious.
"......" Situ Lan picked up the water cup again and put it to his mouth, but the joints revealed his clear emotions under his unfazed posture.
"Situ Lan, shall I discuss something with you?" Xia Mu also felt that he had spoken too much, and moved slightly to Situ Lan's position flatteringly. "Can I keep it? This is the first time I've picked up a fox, so it's not illegal to raise a fox here, right? ”
"......" Situ Lan.
"Please! It's so small, it can't eat anything. I will take care of it and never let it bother you. Xia Mu saw that Situ Lan must be a person who doesn't like small animals, but he is all under the fence, and if he wants to keep this little fox, he has to work hard to please the gold lord next to him.
Seeing that Situ Lan still didn't move, he reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook it gently, and leaned over in a loud voice: "Please!" Master Situ, I know you are the best, you are the most caring person in the world, isn't the moon bud cloud guarding the world? You see, such a small life, how can we throw it away and leave it to fend for itself! Please, please, let's take it, okay? ”
Situ Lan's water cup was already empty, but he still put it to his mouth and didn't take it down for a long time, and his other hand had already pinched his fist until it turned white under the wide sleeve.
"Whatever you want." Finally he spat out these two words.
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Really? Thank you, thank you, thank you. "Thank you, Lord Jin!
After Situ Lan left for a while, he came back again, still carrying a small cage in his hand, and said to Xia Mu: "Put it in." ”
"Uh......" Xia Muki put down the chopsticks he had just picked up. He's intimate, and he got a cage to put it, and it's good, he can't always hold this little thing in his arms, that is, this cage! Why is it so ugly!!
After breakfast, the two continued to set off for Yanzhou, and when she passed by the street where she got lost in the summer last night, she actually saw the middle-aged man who showed her the way and asked her for a meat steak. Seeing the man standing in the shadow of the corner with an oil-paper umbrella, still wandering, didn't he come home last night? Xu was curious, and Xia Mu walked towards the man with a small cage. "Big brother, you're still here, are you waiting for someone?"
About that ghost didn't expect to see her again, let alone that she could actually see herself during the day, and when she saw Situ Lan behind Xia Mu again, she was not so scared that she died again. "Ouch! I said, auntie, please spare me! Last night was all my fault! Please spare me, I really know that I am wrong. ”
The summer curtain is in place, what's the situation? Could it be that this big brother recognized the wrong person? Watching the man shrink more and more into the corner, he shivered. It was as if he had turned into a ferocious beast, which made Xia Mu feel uncomfortable. What are you doing? I look so scary!
"You...... What's wrong? Xia Mu asked awkwardly.
"Auntie, ancestor, I really didn't expect your mana to be so profound, it's because I have eyes and don't know Taishan......" The male ghost continued to admit his mistake.
"Situ Lan." Xia Mu turned around and pointed to his nose and asked, "What is he talking about?" Am I that scary? Then he turned back to the middle-aged man and said, "Big brother, did you recognize the wrong person, I was the one who asked you for directions last night." Did you forget? You...... You also took me a piece of steak. I'm me, I'm just looking at you and you're still standing here, waiting for someone? So just come up and ask. ”
"Huh?" The male ghost was also stunned, didn't he come to collect him? "You don't remember last night?"
"Huh? Last night? Remember, I got lost last night, and I can't find the inn, but you showed me the way. Xia Mu thought about it seriously and said. What's wrong? ”
"And then?" The male ghost asked cautiously again.
"And then? Well, then you took a steak from me, and then I'll go back. "Summer is dizzy.
"Oh...... Oh roar, yes, yes, thank you girl for the meat steak, it's really ...... It's delicious. The male ghost was also confused, but when he saw Situ Lan's expression behind Xia Mu, he was so frightened that he hurriedly responded.
"yes, I think it's delicious, too." Xia Mu smiled, and then asked: "It's not raining in the daytime, what are you doing with an umbrella, big brother?" "In this kind of weather, there is occasionally some sun, shouldn't it be good to get a good sun? A big man still holds an umbrella when he goes out, which is also exquisite. But he doesn't look like a little scholar in a greenhouse, he obviously has a weathered face. "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, my name is Zhang Dapeng, and I have been waiting for my wife here for three years." The middle-aged man said dejectedly.
"Three years?!" Natsumu's mouth opened wide. "Did you go to her, then? If you can't wait for her, why not go to her? ”
"I don't know where she is." Zhang Dapeng shook his head.
Summer curtain narrowed her eyes, ouch! Such an infatuated man is really a rare breed. The gossip heart burned: "Did she run away from home?" Or is it missing? Didn't she tell you where to go? "Or, was it domestic violence? Or did you elope with someone? Well, didn't ask for an exit.
"I don't remember, I just know that it was the last place we spent when we were together. So, I waited here. ”
"Huh? You don't remember. What about your home? Is your lady waiting for you at home? "It turned out to be a drama of amnesia, this melon is a bit big, and the summer curtain is even more exciting.
"I can't get out of here, I can't go home." Zhang Dapeng shook his head.
"What do you mean? What is the meaning that you can't go home, just walk back. Is it in this town? Which street? ”
"My home is not in this town, and I've been stuck in this town for three years."
"Uh...... I don't understand what you're saying anymore. What do you mean to be stuck in this town for three years, is there anything here that is stuck for you? Xia Mu felt that his eyes were black, and he was talking to this man like a chicken and a duck.
"Well, I died in this town, and I couldn't leave on my own." Zhang Dapeng said.
"Oh, you're dead in this town." Natsumu repeated. Wrong! What did he just say! Dead in this town? After the reaction arc was drawn, he stared at Zhang Dapeng in front of him with wide eyes due to excessive fright, he was - ghost?!
Immediately followed by a burst of rolling and crawling, using his hands and feet together, his limbs trembled and hugged Situ Lan not far behind him, and even threw the cage containing the little fox away. "He, he, he...... He's a ghost?! After a stutter, the sound broke.
"Hmm." may have been accustomed to Xia Mu's state, this time Situ Lan was not uncomfortable, just stood straight in place, let Xia Mu wrap his arms tightly around his waist, and replied indifferently.
"You you, you know?"
"Yes."
"He, he, he......"
"Girl, you don't know that I am...... Ghost? "Zhang Dapeng is also stupid this time, so what did she do after talking to herself for a long time?
"How would I know you're ...... You! You're not lying to me, are you? "Summer Curtain is already crying.
"I died in this town three years ago. You touch. Zhang Dapeng came over and wanted to prove that he was not lying.
"No, no, no!!" Xia Mu hugged Situ Lan tighter, and his head shook faster than a wave drum.
Isn't it broad daylight? What the hell is there in broad daylight! After a long time, he finally raised his head again and looked squarely at Zhang Dapeng, who was holding an umbrella in the shadow of the corner. "And how long are you going to wait here?"
"I don't know."
"What then? What if your lady doesn't come? Are you just going to keep waiting? ”
"Can't wait too long, I ......"
"He's dissipating." Finally, Situ Lan, who had watched the play for a long time, spoke.
"Huh? So what to do? Can we get her lady for him? Natsumu instinctively thought of the question.
"Looking for it?" Situ Lan asked, was she joking? The world is big, how to find someone, and, for the sake of this wild ghost, it is necessary to waste that time?
