Chapter 42: Bai Ze, Bai Ze Pavilion
Rong Di slept for another day, and with the support of the medicine, his body gradually recovered, and now he can take the medicine on his own. He had been thinking about how to deal with her problems in the future, thinking that he had fallen asleep again.
The door creaked, and the steps of the visitor were very light, and the footsteps seemed to be there. Rong Di smelled the familiar aroma of medicine, the medicine cooked by grandma smelled quite good, but it was bitter enough to drink. Rong Di grew up in the infirmary since he was a child, and he tried a lot of medicines for his grandfather, but he tried such a bad medicine for the first time, and he didn't know what his grandmother put in it.
In short, Rong Di frowned unconsciously when he smelled this medicine now, he was obviously asleep and smelled the fragrance of this medicine or frowned, and finally he opened his eyes.
There was a natural lightness on the white face of the comer, but her expression was serious and vigilant. She was very light when changing the water in the vase, for fear of waking up the people on the bed.
Then, she moved a chair over. Unexpectedly, the person on the bed was awake! She hurriedly hid behind the chair, her little hand holding the back of the chair trembling all the time.
"The ...... in Red"
As soon as Rong Di said her name, the latter's delicate body trembled slightly, her expression became panicked, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.
"You...... Don't come here! She almost yelled at the top of her voice.
Rong Di was stunned, and at this moment he completely stopped thinking, and just looked at Hongyi stupidly.
"I, I'm ......" Redcoat cried and ran out.
Looking at her like this, Rong Di couldn't help but feel sad, he couldn't help but wonder, did he save her or hurt her?
Suddenly, she retreated, and she hid outside the door, sticking out half her head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rongdi......" her voice was still crying. Then, she quietly left.
Looking at the medicine she put on the table, Rong Di remembered her crying and leaving, how much courage did she use to bring the medicine......
After taking a sip of the medicine, Rong Di couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "It's so bitter......"
Rong Di twisted his eyebrows and drank the medicine, the effect of the medicine worked on him, he felt that his body was warm, but he was a little tired, but he just couldn't sleep.
"What do you think?" Grandma walked in at this time.
"Grandma, I think it'......s so bitter," Rong Di said bitterly.
"It's because of the red clothes, right?" She asked.
"Hmm." Rongdi did not refuse this topic either.
"It's going to be fine." Grandma smiled: "Your body is recovering quickly, and you will be able to walk on the ground in less than three days."
Grandma seemed to want to avoid this topic, Rong Di looked at grandma, and was a little curious about what the mysterious Bai Ze had to do with himself and grandma. He asked this question yesterday, but his grandmother told him not to think about it and to get a good night's sleep.
Rong Di is a writer of supernatural novels, and he only looks at Bai Ze's monster from the data. There are very few records about Bai Ze, the most famous is that it tells the Yellow Emperor about the appearance and weaknesses of the monsters in the world, in addition to the book that records the names, physiognomy and methods of expelling various monsters, and is equipped with the album "Bai Ze Spirit Monster Map".
"Grandma, what does Bai Ze have to do with us?" Rong Di asked, "There is also Bai Ze Pavilion, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary apartment here."
"Well......" Grandma thought for a moment and said, "I'll start with this Bai Ze Pavilion."
"The Shirasawan Pavilion was built in the period before the Xinhai Revolution, which is now known as the Xinhai Revolution. At that time, there was a Bai Ze named Bai Twilight who left the Shenyin where it was and met Ouyang Yu, a woman who had returned from overseas, and the two soon tied the knot and gave birth to a daughter. Their daughter is my grandmother, Snow White. Bai Xue married Zhou Yu, a progressive young man at the time, and he later went to serve as a soldier, at that time, the country was almost unable to keep it, what kind of family did you talk about, my grandmother often said this, and said that this was said by my grandfather. However, Grandpa did not come back, and he died while fighting the Japanese. Their son is my father, my father takes his mother's surname, the human name is Bai Ning, and the monster name is Bai Mang. ”
"The people of our Bai family have inherited Bai Ze's ability, but our monster ability is getting less and less. In my generation, the blood in my body was less than half that of my father. Grandma said bitterly.
"I met your grandfather and then your father. I thought that your father didn't have Bai Ze's blood, but in fact, his Bai Ze's blood was very small, he was just an ordinary person with spiritual vision. ”
"But I ignored it, and almost killed their father and son. Later, I left them and returned to Shirasawakan. But I never thought that I would let you save me. ”
As she spoke, Grandma smiled slightly.
Grandma tells Rong Di that on the day she first met him, she went to destroy the youkai and collapsed due to physical exhaustion on the way back. It was at that time that she felt that her qi was running out.
"I'm running out?" Rong Di couldn't help but be stunned, on the day he exchanged bodies with the cat, he seemed to have said something like this.
"yes, I feel this way......" she said, and she smiled slightly: "It's a woman's intuition, you men won't understand."
She seemed to avoid the topic and said, "Bai Li is my personal name, and the monster's name is Bai Lu. My birth date belongs to the fire life, and my father said that I was too angry, and I had to have the word water in my name. ”
Hearing this, Rong Di was stunned, he remembered that she had said such things when he moved in, but he didn't remember. By the way, Cheng Jiaju also asked something similar.
"Remember, grandson. Names are very important to youkai, and names are everything to youkai. Grandma said solemnly.
Rong Di nodded stunned, he could only be regarded as half-aware of monsters, and it largely depended on YY. Hearing his grandmother say this, he also became a little curious about his name, and asked, "Do I have a monster name in the future?"
Grandma smiled, "It's too early for you, let's talk about it later." But your name has a special meaning. ”
"Really? My name was given by my grandfather. ”
"You are a water man, so it is best to have a fire character in your name, and because you have a touch of wildness in your face, your grandfather named you Di." Grandma smiled proudly: "Speaking of which, I taught him your grandfather's physiognomy technique."
Rong Di couldn't help but smile slightly, he looked at this old house, thinking to himself that maybe there were too many stories here to count. "By the way, the Bai Ze Pavilion here is the name of the monster world, right, and the Dawning Apartment is for humans?" He asked.
"Let's just put it that way." Grandma smiled: "The meaning of Bai Ze Pavilion is that Bai Ze manages this place, and Bai Dui's family did not agree to him marrying a human at the beginning, so he established Bai Ze Pavilion in order to let their mother and daughter have a place to live." The land god here was saved by Twilight, so she's always taken care of us. ”
"This Bai Ze Pavilion was established a hundred years ago, witnessed the end of the Qing Dynasty's rule, and also witnessed the end of the Hundred Days Dynasty, experienced the ups and downs of the Republic of China, the War of Resistance, the Civil War, and the founding of the country...... Special decade, reform and opening up, and then to the present...... It's an old house. She said in a deep tone: "Maybe this is the precipitation of history, right?"
She learned from Rong Di's tone, "You guys write novels, don't you all say that, right?" ”
"Not necessarily......" Rong Di was a little embarrassed, he rarely talked about his work with his family, because they just wanted him to inherit the medical hall.
"By the way, show me your novel later."
"Well...... "Rong Di wanted to say and stopped.
"Reluctantly?"
"It's not ......" Rong Di felt shy, but a little happy. He explained: "My parents were against me writing a novel, and I felt a little scared but happy that you suddenly wanted to read it. It's as if you've been recognized. ”
"Can I ask you why you wrote the novel?"
Hearing her ask like this, Rong Di was silent for a long time, and he thought for a long time before answering: "When I was a child, I told my friends about my grandfather's adventures, but none of them believed it. Later, I realized that the story was probably like that. Maybe I want people to know, to know my grandfather's story, and my story......"
Saying that, Rong Di smiled: "So, I want to record it." I also wanted to go to the apartment where my grandfather went to witness whether the monster really existed, so I came to this Kunzhong City. I didn't expect to actually live here. ”
"That's right......," she smiled with relief.
"Well, I consider myself lucky and very happy." Rongdi said: "I proved that grandpa is not a liar."
Since he was a child, Rong Di listened to his grandfather tell stories about those demons and monsters, Rong Di could see some unclean things when he was a child, and children of the same age did not dare to play with him, and their parents also controlled them and did not let them play with Rong Di.
Therefore, instead of playing with children, Rong Di prefers to follow his grandfather to learn to catch medicine. In this way, he can also listen to the stories of those monsters told by his grandfather, and the monsters are closer to him than those "invisible" children.
The monsters in the stories told by Grandpa are not like the evil beings in myths and legends, they are flesh and blood, they will worry about small things, and they will also firmly guard important objects.
These monsters are more like people. They are simply more like human beings than humans, and the sparkle of their humanity has always attracted Rongdi. It was at that time that Rong Di fell in love with youkai, and he also hoped that one day he could live in an apartment and meet real youkai.
It's just that now that I think back to it, my grandfather always shows a lonely expression every time he tells the story of the monster. When he was a child, Rong Di naively thought that his grandfather was a monster friend who missed the past, but now he knows that he misses his grandmother.
"Grandpa has been missing you." Rong Di said.
"I know that we are still in contact with each other by letter." Grandma smiled: "Although we are just talking about some trivial things, we have been very happy." Although we can't see each other, our hearts are connected. ”
The latter sentence is indeed a love sentence that is so numb that it can't be done, but Rong Di didn't complain, but felt a little envious. "Can I find someone who wants to do that?" He couldn't help but ask himself.
Suddenly, the figure of a girl flashed in my mind. Rong Di was a little ashamed, he felt that he was sorry for her, and he still didn't think about this kind of thing.
"Grandma, can you tell me about Bai Ze?" Rong Di diverted the topic.
"Okay." She laughed.
