Chapter 153: Confronting the Past 1
The next morning, with a creak, the door opened, and I woke up.
"Qingyuan, the sun is drying your buttocks, hurry up, it's 10 o'clock, I boiled porridge, you drink some, and we'll eat later."
I rubbed my sour eyes and got up, although I was angry last night, but after falling asleep, I was very relieved and did not have any nightmares.
After drinking the porridge, my dad was in the kitchen, busy, I walked over and helped him wash the vegetables.
"My aunt, it's okay."
"Alas, Zhang Hao's kid is really, although I asked your eldest uncle, why did you send that kid to Putian Temple, your eldest uncle squeaked, but our whole family supports, that kid, he doesn't do his job all day long, now it's okay, people don't know where they went, I heard that after going down the mountain with a few senior brothers, they ran away, or they don't change."
I smiled, when I thought of my cousin, I only sighed, it was indeed a dead nature, I saw him that night, he actually ran away to see a beautiful woman, he is now estimated to be in which woman's house.
"It's Qingyuan, have you found a new job recently?"
I smiled awkwardly.
"Friends you know, tell me to go to their place to help, I'll help them a little for now."
"What kind of work is it?"
I was a little panicked, I couldn't say, the ghost burial team or something.
"That's it, cleaning, didn't I work in a cleaning company before, their place, there are a lot of stubborn stains, I went over to help clean up, it's a big factory, the money is not bad, after all, I clean it up alone."
My dad sighed, and he didn't doubt it, but my heart was pounding and beating, this was the first time I lied to my dad, since I was a child, I haven't lied to them, but this will, it's also helpless.
"I still have to find a stable job, Qingyuan, it's not a way to go on like this, or else, try it and take the civil service exam!"
"Oh, Dad, I know, I'll read a little bit after a while."
After a meal, my dad was going to go out and play mahjong with a few poker friends, I told him to continue to go out and go around, and when my dad left, I was relieved.
It's strange and uncomfortable that I actually lied to my father, although he is not my real father, I don't plan to mention it to them, they took me in as an adopted son, even if he is not related by blood, he is still my father.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
I muttered to myself, tears streaming down my face.
After a while, my mood calmed down, and since I was very young, my father has always warned me that people should be upright in life, and no matter what problems they encounter, they should not run away.
And this time, it's my own problem, the legacy of the past, the childhood that I don't want to think about again.
My phone rang, and I immediately answered it, it was Lan Ruoxi.
"Qingyuan, when are you coming back, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go home for a few days, and I'll be back in a few days."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Qingyuan... Is there something wrong with you, that day, you went out, I saw that your face was not good, let me come over to help you? ”
"I'm sorry, Lan... Miss Ruoxi, this is my own business, I don't need anyone to interfere, I'm sorry. ”
I just hung up the phone and walked out of the house.
According to what Huangfu Ruofei said, the formation she taught me only needed a piece of jade with a slightly acceptable texture, and then soaked it in clear and clean water for three days and three nights, as the formation of the Jade Gate Formation, which is the first step I need to do at present.
I thought about it early this morning, and I was very grateful to that little girl, after all, with this formation, I would have a little more chance of killing that ghost, and now in retrospect, that ghost, I'm afraid it's not simple, in my memory, my father's friend, that old Taoist priest, was to pray for a golden talisman to cure me.
I was a little flustered before, so many ghost incidents, there were people helping, but this time, I was alone, without anyone to help, and I had to be fully prepared.
When I came to the street, I took two buses, came to a pedestrian street, found a gold shop, went in, looked at it, there was a lot of jade, but I didn't know at all, how to identify, good or bad, because if the emperor had not said, the better the quality of the jade, the greater the power of the formation.
After counting the pockets, there are only less than 10,000, but look at the price of a lot of jade, ranging from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands.
"Sir, do you want to buy jade?"
A shopping guide lady smiled, walked over, and then began to explain all kinds of things, I listened confused, and I didn't understand, panicked, I took a fancy to a piece, 8989 jade, the color is very good.
Suddenly, a hand wrapped around my neck, and a stinky smell came over.
"Uncle Mo?"
Then I pulled Uncle Mo out strongly, the security guards of the gold store surrounded me, I hurriedly explained, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, I followed Uncle Mo to a secluded alley.
"Uncle Mo, what are you doing?"
"Hey, don't be so ruthless, my daughter is worried about you, alas, that stupid girl, it's true."
I bowed my head a little embarrassed and said thank you.
"How do you know?"
"Don't me, how do I know, I know everything, you are my good son-in-law, if you die, my daughter will be widowed."
"Uncle Mo, you are serious."
"Okay, okay, I know, Qingyuan, I have a little friendship with that Ma Yiping, he informed me last night, that ghost, it is said, it was before, it was badly injured, so it didn't come out until now, but soon the evil star is coming, and he may have to recover."
I sighed, remembering what the red-haired ghost said last night, that the evil star had come.
"What is that?"
"It's almost, in a few days, the so-called evil star, is a reincarnation, with the number of ninety-nine, that is, the big murder day once every 81 years, on that day, ghosts, but it will be very powerful, ordinary ghosts, will become powerful, and powerful ghosts or something, it will be even more amazing, you can be affected by the power of the evil star, even more powerful."
"That's going to ......," I was about to speak, but I smiled and shook my head.
"No, Uncle Mo, thank you for reminding me, but no matter what happens this time, I have to use my own hands to bury the past, I don't want anyone to interfere."
Uncle Mo smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
"I understand, I understand, I understand, hehe, men, I like to be willful, but this is quite similar to when I was young, worthy of being my son-in-law."
I glanced at Uncle Mo with resentment.
Suddenly, Uncle Mo put away his smile and touched the back of my head.
"Whatever? Stinky boy, just don't make my girl cry. ”
I nodded earnestly.
"But then again, if you want to buy jade, don't go to that kind of store to buy it, that piece of jade, although the texture is okay, but at least it earned you more than 6,000, you kid is really stupid, go, I'll take you to a good place."
Uncle Mo said, he couldn't help but say that he would pull me away, on the street, constantly casting puzzled eyes, I pulled a beggar, and then I shook off Uncle Mo's hand.
"What? Any questions? ”
I sighed, and Uncle Mo smiled.
"Alright, just keep up."
Then I followed Uncle Mo to a more secluded place, next to a garbage dump, and the smell was very bad.
I asked, covering my nose.
"Uncle Mo, why did you bring me here?"
Uncle Mo smiled mysteriously and beckoned, I walked over, and he suddenly opened the opening of the sewer and motioned me to go down.
I snorted, Uncle Mo didn't say a word, and jumped down.
I had to step on the stairs and climb down, and it was pitch black, and the sound of rats was coming from me, and the smell was very unpleasant.
"Bear with me, Qingyuan." Uncle Mo said, suddenly, a burst of yellow light lit up on his body.
"Ayadong, Silk West, Hun Tian, Blind to the Earth, Out of the ......" Fiercely, I saw a very wide red yarn in Uncle Mo's hand, stretched out, and floated on top of the stinky ditch.
"Get in the car, boy, I'll take you there."
I let out a sigh, saw Uncle Mo, stepped on it, and I stepped on it, and then the white yarn under my feet stretched out and wrapped in a ball, like a handlebar.
"Soon, speed, you pull a little, don't fall down." I was a little nervous to hold on, my palms were sweaty, my feet were soft, and I was a little scared.
"I'm leaving, son-in-law."
I just wanted to say something, the red yarn under my feet moved, and all of a sudden, I only felt that my head was buzzing, and I only heard Uncle Mo's laughter, and I couldn't see anything in front of me, sometimes turning left, sometimes turning again, and suddenly, I was dizzy.
Suddenly, I felt that I had wrapped something around my body, and with a whoop, I just felt that it was dark and very uncomfortable, my ears were buzzing, and the oncoming air flow seemed to be about to tear my body apart.
When I finally stopped, I clutched my stomach and threw up, which felt like motion sickness.
"Alas, you kid, your health is too bad, so you can't stand it."
"It's not a question of physical fitness." I said uncomfortably.
"Hehe, it seems to be right, hehe, sorry, sorry."
Uncle Mo wrapped me in red yarn and pulled me back to the ground.
In an alley, there is a house in front of me, a small three-story building, and the door is open.
"Hey, Xiao Mo, why are you here, who is this kid, get some water to wash him first, don't dirty my shop."
An old man, hunchbacked, with a bowler hat, a pair of small round glasses, and a large black mole on his left cheek.
I rinsed the vomit with water, sat at the door for a while, and felt a little more comfortable, Uncle Mo helped me and walked into the house.
"What are you bringing me here for? Uncle Mo? I asked weakly.
"I'll take you to buy good jade, let's go, this is a good antique shop!"
