Chapter 26: Burning Paper Money

Wenmo said that I slept for almost three hours, but I only felt like half an hour in my dream.

The big rat was killed by the master, and it took a lot of effort, Wenmo said that he was going to clean up the aftermath, and I wanted to follow, but he said that the evil qi over there was too heavy, and I was now undecided, and it was easy to be affected.

I had no choice but to stay in the room with Hu Tiantian and listen to him talk about Wenmo's killing of the big rat.

From Hu Tiantian's mouth, I knew intermittently that the big mouse was the gray old man, but I don't know why, it became so brutal and bloodthirsty, I vaguely felt that it had something to do with the thing that the beard gave him.

It probably took Wenmo half a day to clean up the place, and I had been waiting in the house for a long time to get moldy.

Seeing my eagerly awaited look, Wen Mo smiled: "Let's go, we should go back too." ”

In the past two days, I have established a deep friendship with Hu Tiantian, and I was reluctant to say goodbye, and agreed that he would come to the underworld shop next time to play.

On the way back, I asked Wenmo, "Master, is that big mouse really a gray old man?" ”

"Hmm...... That's right. Wen Mo nodded, "How can I say that he has also cultivated for one hundred and eighty years, and it was originally possible for Dao Xing to go to the next level after the tribulation, who knew that such a big mistake was made at this juncture." Huh. After saying that, he sighed, looking very sorry.

I pouted disapprovingly, "Who let him pit me." ”

"Pit you?" Wen Mo narrowed his eyes, "You may not be pitted, but it's true that you cheated yourself." Your kid's bones are too hard, and that's not something he can gnaw on. ”

I sighed, I can more or less understand what Wenmo is saying now, anyway, I'm very special, no one wants to touch me!

After figuring out this layer, I felt a little proud in my heart for no reason, and even my steps were much lighter.

Wenmo looked a little tired, and when he returned to the shop, he said hello, and then went into the room to rest, telling me not to run around, there was something to do at night.

I glanced up at the calendar, and it was a coincidence that it was July and a half.

In the middle of July, Halloween begins.

Every year at this time, grandpa will prepare paper money in advance to burn to the ancestors of the Qin family, and every year it is the same kind of rhetoric, bless our family with peace and security.

Today, there is no father and grandfather, and I don't know who the ancestor's paper money will be burned to......

Thinking about it, I had unconsciously climbed onto the shelf and pulled out a stack of paper money.

If the elders weren't there, the task would have fallen to me, and I rummaged through the cabinets to find a red candle and a box of matches that I didn't know if they could use.

Since Wenmo said that you can't run around, it shouldn't matter if you burn some paper money near the store, right?

Once I had my things ready, I sat behind the counter and waited for the night to fall.

It was close to midnight when no guests came in, and Wenmo didn't come out, thinking that he might be tired and ruthless, so he would die of sleep this time.

I didn't dare to waste time, holding a stack of paper money, candles and matches, stumbling open the door, and not forgetting to look back to see if Wenmo had come out.

Outside the door, the night was heavy, there were no stars in the dark, a cold wind blew, blowing a chill in my spine, I found a place behind the dark shop, and put the paper money on the ground.

Put the two red candles left and right according to the previous grandfather's practice, and the grandfather said that this is the "door", burn paper money in the middle of the "door", call the name of the relatives, and they will be able to find a place and come to get the money.

Hmm, what is the name of the ancestor of our old Qin family?

I lit the candle as I thought.

There was a crackle, the candle was lit, and I crouched down and began to burn the first piece of paper.

After the burning, I remembered that I still needed tribute, and ran back to the store to get the apples, for the time being, this is the only one, and now the special circumstances can only make up the ancestors.

When I came out, I saw that the candle was already half burned, and I hurried over to protect the flames.

It's strange, the paper money is also less than half, could it be that there is a thief?

I looked around alertly, but there was no sound around me except for the wind.

I scratched my nose, probably because I had experienced too much and was a little sensitive lately. At this time, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw something on the ground not far away.

Intrigued, I walked over and found two bottles of wine, and two elbows, as well as a cage and a plate of bread.

Smelling the fragrance, the worms in my stomach were hooked, I couldn't drink the wine, I didn't dare to eat my elbows, I picked up a piece of bread.

Strange to say, the cake is printed with two dragons and phoenixes in a circle, which is very festive. It's a bit like the kind of cake my grandfather used to eat at the wedding of Sister Erhua in the next village.

But I was very hungry, and I didn't eat for almost a day and a night, and I didn't think about anything else, so I grabbed it and nibbled on it.

It smells so good!

After gobbling up a piece, I turned around and went back to burn all the paper money, and then cautiously returned to the store.

And Wenmo, I don't know when he came out, was sitting at the counter waiting for me.

"Where?" His voice was still hoarse as if he hadn't woken up.

I blushed, "I, I'm out to burn money." ”

"Burning money? Oh...... Yes, it's July 15, and it's going to burn money. Wen Mo looked up at the shelves and paused at the gap where the value was placed.

My heart jumped, and I hurriedly said: "The money to buy paper money, I, I will pay you back in the future!" ”

I thought Wenmo was entangled in me taking the goods in the store, but I didn't expect him to stand up and walk over and look left and right: "What are you holding in the middle of this?" ”

"Huh? I just took a stack of ...... Isn't that expensive? ”

Wen Mo covered his forehead with a headache, "Is the paper money white-red?" ”

White-red? I didn't really pay attention to that.

When I hesitated, Wenmo found out that I had taken the red candle again.

"You also got the red candle?"

"Because ......," I muttered, "no white candles were found." ”

"Got the apple?"

"Hmmm......"

The more Wen Mo asked me, the more weak my heart became, and I felt like I had done something very wrong.

But instead of scolding me, he walked to the door and opened it, and saw something outside.

"Qin Xian, Qin Xian, how old are you, you want to get married so quickly?"

"Cheng ......" I widened my eyes: "Master, don't talk nonsense, I'm only eight years old!" How does it work...... Get married?! ”

I know what it means to get married, grandpa told me that if I meet a girl I like very much in the future, I can marry each other, but now, how is it possible!

"You gave a dowry, and the other party returned the dowry." Wen Mo turned his head and smiled at me Bai Sensen, "You just wait for someone to pick you up in a while!" ”

I was frightened, and stepped forward to pull Wenmo's sleeve, "Master, I didn't, I just burned a piece of paper money for our ancestors, why did I get married?" ”

"You burned red paper money, which is a token of the yin relatives, and you also lit a red candle, which proves that you are single and unmarried, and you gave an apple, which is the dowry." Wen Mo shook his head helplessly, "It's still half July?" At this time, many single and unmarried imps will go out to find marriage, what a coincidence, a team passed by at the door, looking at you, I guess this child is snickering. ”

I took a step back with a pale face, I just burned money, and I got into this kind of thing?

"Ready, ready." Wen Mo didn't look worried at all, but was very excited, "I haven't seen a yin kiss for many years, speaking of which, I am half your father, and I always have to be happy when I marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

"I don't want it!" I cried out in panic, "I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Wait another twenty years, and then you'll come back and hear what you have to say." Wen Mo smiled, "The matter has come to this, even if you want to withdraw from the marriage, you have to make it clear in person." ”

"I ......," I choked, "can I really retreat?" ”

"Yes, but you might have to suffer a little." Wenmo sighed, turned around and went back to the house to get me a white paper dress.

"Put it on."

I looked at the dress with a little disgust, white, or wearing such clothes in the middle of July, it was too unlucky, right?

Wen Mo glanced at me, "If you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, put it on for me." ”

After I put on my clothes with my face on my shoulder, Wenmo led me to the door of the shop, waiting for someone to come to the door to recognize my relatives.

How could I be so unlucky!
