Chapter Seventy-Four: Paper Shop
Xiang Lingden understood that Master Zhou was the so-called favorite, and he couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart.
It seems that this week, the master is chattering on weekdays, hiding in a dark room to study some strange things, as if he does not eat the fireworks of the world, but in fact, he is still a spirit, and his ability to observe words and colors is breathtaking.
However, no matter how impressed he is with Master Zhou, and whether Master Zhou's talent is worthy of merit, one thing is certain.
That said, there should be no problem with staying tonight.
After properly solving the problem of the night, Xiang Ling was happy, so he bent down to pick up the snow and snow on the ground and quickly followed.
It's just that the white cat doesn't seem to understand Xiang Ling's mood at the moment, it is in her arms, twisting its body very restlessly, and constantly expressing its dissatisfaction with the sound of "meow meow".
To explain its cat-like language, the general meaning is as follows:
Hey, hey, who's going to let you hold me? If you want to hug it, let the handsome guy hug it, hey, hey, let it go.
However, the cats are cats after all, and the language of the cats is not something that everyone can understand, looking at the snow in his arms all the time, Xiang Ling doesn't care at all, and he doesn't know its careful thoughts.
Xue Xue writhed so hard that Xiang Ling thought it was uncomfortable, so he changed his position and hugged Xue Xue into his arms a little tighter.
Xue Xue looked up to the sky and sighed, she could only accept her fate, and she nested in Xiang Ling's arms without love, giving up the struggle.
A group of five people soon came to his home under the leadership of Zhang Yuan.
Although Zhang Yuan had already introduced himself as opening a sacrificial shop, when they walked into his home, they were still a little shocked.
Zhang Yuan's so-called home is with his own shop.
Behind a dilapidated door, there is a place of paper people, paper houses, incense and candles, etc., which are stacked at random and can barely insert their feet in.
Zhang Yuan seemed to see the embarrassed looks of the five people, and smiled generously, "There is no woman in the family, so there is a mess, everyone makes do with it." ”
Smiling slightly, the five of them responded politely, and began to visit Zhang Yuan's house.
Of course, their purpose is to find their own room.
It's just that they were disappointed by the results.
After pushing open the creaking gate, the first thing you enter is a courtyard. The yard was empty, there was basically nothing.
And then in the middle, there is a room that looks like a shop, which is full of all kinds of paper people and sacrificial supplies, some of which are not yet finished, and the paper has not yet been completely pasted on the bamboo, and some rustle when the wind blows.
In addition to the middle room, there was a room on the left and right, and several people went in to take a look, the one on the left was a bedroom with a simple wooden bed in it, and on the right was a stove room, small and cramped, with a pitted dining table in addition to a pot stove.
After the visit, the five people frowned.
"Where do we stay?"
After the five of them wandered around for a long time and couldn't find a place to stay, Du Kang finally couldn't help it.
Zhang Yuan grinned "hey, hey, hey", and generally kicked the paper villain on the ground in the middle room to the corner of the wall two or three times, and then pointed to the empty mud and said, "It's hot, and you're not afraid of moisture, so you can just stay here at night." ”
"Will?" Xiang Ling looked at the open space in surprise, and his mouth opened a little unclosed, "Right here?" There are five of us! ”
"This is the three of you women sleeping, there is a long table in the courtyard outside, whoever is that, you can sleep outside." Zhang Yuan pointed to Du Kang, who was standing at the end.
"As for Master Zhou, sleep in my room at night. I have so much more to tell you! After Zhang Yuan finished assigning, he grinned and dragged Master Zhou's arm again.
The four of them were stunned for a moment in the face of Zhang Yuan's frantic arrangement.
By the time Xiang Ling came back to his senses and was about to have a good chat with Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan had already taken Master Zhou's arm and disappeared in front of him.
Looking at the paper figures all over the ground in amazement, Xiang Ling's brows furrowed layer upon layer.
"I knew that we might as well find another one, and invited us to live in this house because it was so hospitable!" Xiang Ling saw that the wood was already in the boat, and his heart was panicked.
"It's --- ---" Liu Jing's expression was slightly nervous, her eyes kept staring at the paper figure on the ground, and there was a slight fear in her eyes.
"How do you sleep in this place?" Xiang Ling muttered as he slammed the paper figure on the ground to the side with his toes.
But there were too many paper figures, and the paper figures that Xiang Linggang had just drawn together collapsed in a blink of an eye.
"Otherwise, let's sit in the corner and talk until the night." Yang Mo took the initiative to help Xiang Ling sort out the paper man, but he also failed.
"That's all there is to it." Primal Xiang let out a long sigh.
"Well, I'll sit with you for a while, and when any of you are tired, my shoulders will still be of some use!" Du Kang bent down, picked up a handful of paper figurines, and threw them to the door.
"It's okay to borrow your shoulder as a pillow when the time comes!" Xiang Ling rubbed his shoulder, "I haven't slept well in the past few days, I'm tired to death." ”
Yang Mo nodded and agreed with Du Kang's suggestion, but Liu Jing obviously still had some concerns.
"Let's go to the courtyard and talk." Liu Jing's eyes fell on the paper figure kicked open by Xiang Ling, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
Xiang Ling looked at Liu Jing's reaction and knew that she was afraid of these paper figures, so she smiled secretly in her heart, then turned to Du Kang and said, "Let's just go to the courtyard, bask in the moon, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon." ”
"Poof", Xiang Ling's unreliable proposal made Liu Jing's tense mood slightly improved.
After the discussion, the four of them walked out of the room one after another and came to the courtyard.
There was only a long wooden table in the courtyard, which looked like it had been many years old, but the table top still seemed to be relatively clean, and there were a lot of small white confetti mixed in the gaps of the table.
It seems that this is Zhang Yuan's workbench.
Du Kang walked to the table, stroked the surface of the stool with his sleeve, and looked at his sleeve in the moonlight.
"Yo, Du Kang, you are really considerate!" Yang Mo couldn't help but tease when he saw Du Kang being so solemn.
Du Kang blushed, noncommittal, just motioned for a few people to come and sit, and he sat quietly in the corner by himself.
Yang Mo was the first to walk over and sat opposite Du Kang.
Xiang Ling didn't move, her eyes glanced at Liu Jing next to her.
Liu Jing understood, and after a short period of hesitation, she slowly moved to Du Kang's side and sat down gently.
Her eyebrows kept low, and she didn't seem to dare to raise her head to look at Du Kang.
This intentional or unintentional behavior, Du Kang saw it in his eyes.
In his heart, there was a slight sense of loss, but it was not shown on his face.
Turning around, facing Liu Jing, Du Kang showed a warm smile.
Xiang Ling saw Du Kang smiling, as if a boulder had fallen in her heart, she strode to Liu Jing's side and sat down generously.
All four of them sat down, but they didn't speak for a long time.
"You say, ---- we can find Chenyi?" It was Xiang Ling who opened his mouth first, breaking the silence.
The other three did not speak.
Because of Xiang Ling's question, no one could answer.
"Regardless of the outcome, we always have to do something that we can." Du Kang saw that Xiang Ling's expression was a little lonely, and opened his mouth to comfort.
"Yes, it is up to man to make things happen." At this time, Yang Mo also interjected, "I believe that if we keep persevering, we will definitely be able to find Chenyi." ”
"Besides--- Yang Mo's eyes narrowed and looked into the room, "Don't we still have Master Zhou?" He has great powers, and he will definitely be able to help us find Chenyi. ”
Yes, with Master Zhou here, they will definitely be able to find Chen Yi.
Xiang Ling thought secretly in his heart.
Raising his head, Xiang Ling looked at the silver moon in the sky, and his heart was tumbling with emotion.
Counting the days, he and Chen Yi have not been separated for a long time, but for him, it is as if they have been separated for a long time, and the concern in his heart has never been let go for a moment.
This kind of may be called acacia.
Himself, can he even have such sentimental feelings?
His eyes were a little confused, and Xiang Ling's mind began to be in a trance.
And this kind of feeling, this kind of emotion, fell into Du Kang's eyes without pulling it at all.
Du Kang knew that Xiang Ling must be thinking about Chen Yi in his heart at this moment, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
Among them, there was a slight jealousy.
Have you never had such true feelings for me?
In the courtyard, there is a little silver moonlight, although it is the height of summer, but the mountain breeze is still a little cool.
The wind blew into the yard, and the four of them unconsciously tightened their clothes.
"Why, I always feel like --- wind gusting." Liu Jing's body unconsciously moved in the direction of Du Kang.
"What is yin and yang, the wind in the mountains is naturally cooler than in the city." Xiang Ling looked at Liu Jing with a smile, knowing that she was timid, so he tried to comfort her.
"Let's live somewhere else." Liu Jing's eyes looked hesitantly at the open door.
In the room, the paper figures were rustling in the wind, and some of them had not yet installed wooden shelves, because of the wind, their paper arms were flying slightly, and they looked like they were about to move.
Xiang Ling looked at Liu Jing's gaze, and suddenly found that the paper man's originally pale face suddenly had a hint of red at this moment, and this red was still slowly deepening, and in the end, it turned blood red.
"Ahh
A terrible cry pierced the night in the mountain village.
