By the time I walked back, nothing had changed much, they just moved Yuqing to a different position and wiped the blood from her face, and the three of them, Jiahui and his wife, and the old beggar were all by Yuqing's side.

Yuqing's face is as white as paper, and there are two cracks on both sides of her mouth, a bit like the rip girl in Japanese legends, but this is not cut out by scissors, it should be torn naturally.

"Fang Ming, are you buying New Year's goods? How did you bring so many things back. Jiahui said.

"You can just eat it anyway." I put my things down and said.

"I'm a little hungry too, what do you have in here?" Jiahui's wife said.

"There are all kinds of things, so you can take whatever you want." I say.

"Did you buy the most important things?" The old beggar asked me.

I gave him all the red dates, longan lotus seeds and so on, he washed those things cleanly, then added an appropriate amount of water and put it into a small porcelain jar, put the porcelain jar on the table, and a blue fire automatically rose under the time, the flame was not hot at all, it was cool and cool, not much different from the fire in the world.

"Is this going to give her a stew?"

"Of course, the woman who has given birth is very weak, and she must drink something to make up for it, because its production is more special, so he will only make the body more uncomfortable if he drinks the ordinary chicken soup and duck soup, and only the soup made with my special flame can make her body repair as soon as possible, she must drink this soup for the whole month, and she must not eat meat, there is animal resentment in the meat, she has had a skin-to-skin relationship with the evil thing, and the evil thing will soon pursue here, Drinking this soup can soothe her soul, and secondly, it is also to allow her to resist evil things, once she eats the meat, the soul that has just been repaired will be damaged again, remember to remember, you can't worry about her malnutrition, secretly feed her meat, I am for the sake of her life. The old beggar said.

"And what does that meat do?" I asked.

"This meat is not for her, but for those who protect her."

The one who protects her? Who is this? There's no one around her.

The old beggar didn't have to explain to me, took out the meat, used the knife just now, cut them into small squares, neatly arranged them on a clean plate, poured three cups of wine, placed them on the coffee table in front of her, bowed reverently, and said to the air: "Please bless the sunny people, I will definitely repay my vows in the coming year." ”

After the prayer, the old beggar took an apple from the food I had bought, and ate it, and said, "Now that everything is done, just wait for the soup to be stewed and fed to her. ”

I took a few bags of dried pork to eat, Jiahui's wife likes to eat sweets, and Jiahui shared a bag of chocolates with Jiahui, the four of us sat in rows, eating with relish, in fact, we rarely eat snacks, especially in the middle of the night, because this is not good for the stomach, but we are all tired today, if we don't eat something to supplement our strength, we won't last until dawn.

After eating, Jiahui's wife went back first, she was like this every day, she had to go home at two or three o'clock in the morning, because they still had a child at home, she had to go back to make up for sleep, and the next morning she had to cook breakfast for him and send him to school.

"I'm leaving, you stay here and take a good look at the store." Jiahui's wife said.

"Slow down, sister-in-law." I say.

I don't know when Jiahui became my brother, and Jiahui's wife became my sister-in-law as a matter of course, in fact, this feeling is also very good, I am the only child in the family, no brothers and sisters, cousins and cousins, and they are also developing in other places, and their parents prefer to stay in the countryside, and they don't want to stay in the city with me, so I have been working hard outside for so many years, and the only one who has the closest relationship with me is Chen Lin, and I have become a lonely person, and now they can take care of me like this, Protects me and makes me feel at home.

Just as I was about to finish eating the dried pork, I remembered the note, which I had not yet shown to the old beggar, so I took out the note and said to the old beggar, "The owner of the shop where I went to buy just now seems to know you, and tells me to show you this note." ”

The old beggar finished eating an apple, wiped his mouth, and took the note in my hand and said to himself, "How strange is who would contact me, a sloppy beggar." ”

After reading this, his whole face changed, and after pinching his fingers and calculating, he hurriedly said to me: "Fang Ming, didn't you pay for these things just now?" ”

"Yes, he said that as long as I give you the note, he won't take my money, so I bought so many things, and this kind of bargain is not taken for nothing."

The old beggar patted his thigh in annoyance and said, "You, you, what a fool, I should have known that I shouldn't have let you go outside to do errands, it would really be enough to get me into trouble, if it weren't for the fact that you were just injured, I would have wanted to beat you up again now." ”

"What's wrong with me? Didn't they all buy everything? I said inexplicably.

"Eating people with a short mouth, taking people softly, do you know, you accepted the gift he gave me instead of me, and now he begs me to do something, I can't do it if I don't want to, it's really annoying, the reason why I want to be a free beggar, is that I don't want to be tied up by these mundane things, but in the end someone took the initiative to find the door." The old beggar shook his head and said.

"What the hell is going on? Is this person asking you to do something? Jiahui said.

"Just look at what is written on this note."

The old beggar threw the note to the two of us, and we looked at it to see that it was written with a person's name and birthday, followed by a row of small letters.

"This is my father's name and eight characters, he is now in the hospital, advanced stomach cancer, the doctor said that he will not live for half a month, today I have the fate to meet the people around you, I want to ask the old fairy to help you continue your life, there must be a heavy thank you afterwards."

"That's... Then help, it's a big deal that I'll still help you and reduce your workload, so it's okay, don't be so reluctant to save people, one life is better than a seventh-level floating slaughter, you saved him, won't he be grateful to you then? I said.

"But I just don't want to have anything to do with these people, you see I can't bear to let you be confused by a female ghost, I saved you at the beginning, and now it's a lot of trouble." The old beggar gave me a blank look.

I remembered that the old beggar took me to Li Zhuang before, and tried every possible way to dissuade me from contacting those two female ghosts, which really took a lot of thought, and I also felt a little guilty.

"How's this guy's eight characters? If it can be saved, then save it, and also reduce the workload of our underworld, like this, people who will die of cancer usually have committed some sins in their lives, and after they die, they basically can't ascend to heaven, and they have to suffer in hell. Jiahui said.

"You're quite shrewd, you always know how to do everything possible to reduce your workload, to increase my workload, forget it, I'm just a nosy person, just help him, put this note away first, and talk about it when I have free tomorrow." The old beggar said.

At this time, the soup was almost ready, and it was steaming, and the old beggar added some finely twisted powder to it, stirred it with a spoon, and told me to help Yuqing up.

I helped Yuqing up, her whole body was as soft as a puddle of mud, and her body also emitted the smell of mud, a little touch of her hair, her hair was like a dry grass, a touch will break, and just now when I was at home, there is already a difference between cloud and mud, if it is not to save her life, I really don't want to touch her at all, but the old beggar did not show a little disgust, took a spoon, stewed his own soup, and fed it into her mouth one by one, as if taking care of a small baby, very careful.

Although Yuqing fell asleep, she seemed to still have a little consciousness, and from time to time she opened her eyes a slit, and the bowl of soup looked very sweet, and the stewed red dates and so on were floating in it, reflecting pink under the illumination of the light, and it looked quite dreamy.

"Fang Ming... I'm looking for Fang Ming... Where is he? ”

She finished the soup and muttered to herself, which made me feel a pang of distress.

The old beggar sighed softly, signaling that I could put her down, I was afraid that I would alarm her, the movement was very gentle, the woman in my arms seemed to have no bones, I felt that I was holding not a person, but a burning mosquito coil, the movement was a little heavier, I was afraid that she would break.

"Fang Ming..." she still woke up, gently held my hand, and opened her eyes.

"Tell her to rest more, don't talk too much to the two of you, she is very weak now, and talking will damage her lungs." The old beggar whispered a word in my ear, and walked to the other end of the pet store with great interest, to chat with the ducks, and Jiahui also walked over when he saw this.

"Yuqing, are you tired?"

"I'm tired, but I'd love to talk to you right now... It hurts... What's wrong with me? I always felt like I had a nightmare. She spoke, and her words were like a small cloud in the sky, light and soft, and the wind could blow it away.

"It's okay, it's all in the past."

"Then am I still the one you love?" Yuqing suddenly asked me this, I was dumbfounded by the question, and it took a few seconds to remember that she must have been with the other me just now, and I also said a lot of sweet words to coax her.

"Of course, hurry up and go to bed, I'll count three and you'll close your eyes, okay?"

I said that she is the time when she can't bear the blow the most, and Chen Lin also told me that just now, my mother often taught me not to tell lies, but at this time, I think it should be okay to say something that makes her feel at ease.

"What's wrong with my mouth?"

"I accidentally cut it, it's fine." I say.

Yuqing nodded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep shortly after, her eyelashes were long and thick, a detail I had never noticed before.

"The old beggar... How long will it take for her to recover? I went up to the old beggar and said to him.

"Ordinary women can't leave the room for a month after giving birth, this is called confinement, and her situation is more damaging to the body, at least... It will take half a year, and if the recovery is not good, alas... I'm afraid she doesn't even have the qualifications to reincarnate. ”

"That's too long, is there any way to shorten the time? Yuqing's personality, if she is not allowed to go out for a long time, she will definitely feel bored. I said.

"What are you anxious about? I haven't finished speaking, that kind of soup is very good for her body's recovery, as long as she is willing to follow what I said, drink that kind of soup for three meals a day, don't eat any meat, don't drink alcohol, keep her body and mind at peace, and she should be able to return to her original state after more than a month, so this more than one month is very important. The old beggar said to me again.

"That's good, I just stew it for her every day, anyway, I don't have anything very important to do now." I said.

"Fool, do you really think you don't have anything to do? In fact, you have a lot to do, this pet store will have all kinds of accidents at any time, can you guarantee that she will have soup for three meals a day? The duck said suddenly.

"I think so, as long as you stay in the store, those ghosts, wanted criminals or something will take the initiative to find them, and it is impossible to take a vacation, this is an urgent task sent to us by the king of Hades, you dare to delay, be careful that he will separate you and Chen Lin in a fit of anger, then you will really have no fate at all, you better hire someone to take care of Yuqing." Jiahui also said.
