"Class 1 in the sixth year, Chen Xichun! 5th in the grade exam! ”

Hearing my name, I squinted my eyes and smiled proudly at Jiang Qixi next to me.

Jiang Qixi pouted, and I stepped out of the ranks.

"Keep up the good work." Principal Luo, who had a big belly, handed me a paper certificate of merit.

It's been two or three years since the Painted Skin Ghost incident, and it seems that everything is back on track, even Principal Luo in front of him has been in Sifang Primary School for more than two years.

I bowed down respectfully, accepted the award, and when I turned around, I glanced at the infirmary not far away.

Grandpa Hong was looking at me with his hands behind his back and his eyes kind.

When I returned to the queue, Jiang Qixi leaned over and glanced at the award certificate in my hand.

"Congratulations, it's the first time on the list."

I gritted my teeth and said slightly angrily, "Do you have it! ”

Jiang Qixi spread his hands very calmly, "Don't be like this, you know, I'm very good at learning things." ”

I snorted coldly, but I couldn't refute it, because Jiang Qixi was right, no matter what he learned, he was like a demon.

"The third class of the sixth year, Wang Fengfeng, the fourth in the grade examination!"

"Class 3 of the sixth year, Li Xiaohui, grade ...... exam"

There was only the first place left, and Principal Luo cleared his throat on the podium, and he didn't even bother to turn over the roster.

"Jiang Qixi, you can come out by yourself, I won't read it."

I wiped my face and watched Jiang Qixi calmly come out of the queue and receive the award.

The breeze ruffled the black hair on her forehead, touched her sideburns, and swayed gently.

I don't know when I suddenly felt that Jiang Qixi was no longer dark, and he had grown taller, especially the side face with a ponytail, and when he lowered his head, he was beautiful and beautiful.

I remembered what my mother said, Xi'er is not ugly, but she is a great beauty.

Also, Jiang Qixi no longer accompanies me to the toilet, according to her words, I now have a lightning strike on my body, and ordinary mountain ghosts will not be stupid to beg for a beating.

I sighed.

Next year, I will leave Sifang Primary School and go to the junior high school in the county.

At the end of school, I used the money I saved for lunch to buy two packets of drunkard peanuts at the commissary, put them in my arms, looked left and right, and tiptoed to the infirmary.

Grandpa Hong was squatting at the door, looking at the sky gradually falling in the distance with some distraction.

Since the death of the donkey master, Grandpa Hong has always been like this, with sadness hanging between his eyebrows.

"Lao Hong, drink!" After standing for a moment, I shouted.

Grandpa Hong turned his head, saw that it was me, grinned, and took a small bottle of white wine and a tea jar into the house.

"Your little daughter-in-law doesn't care about you today, so idle?"

"Phew! Manly man, what's the matter with a drink! If she dares to pull me, I'll pull it with a big ear! That's right, Lao Hong, you should be domineering! I took a bite of a bag of drunkard peanuts and shouted.

"You baby, I haven't met a ghost in the past two years, and I'm becoming more and more popular!"

I flicked two drunkard peanuts into my mouth, snatched Lao Hong's tea jar, took a small sip, and a spicy and comfortable flow into my throat.

"I didn't learn anything, but I learned to drink." Grandpa Hong said with a smile.

Hearing this, I slapped my hand and slapped the certificate I had just received on the table.

"Lao Hong, take a look, it's genuine, I, Chen Xichun, am not stupid!"

Grandpa Hong didn't bother to look at it, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "Your little daughter-in-law is the first in the month." ”

"Lao Hong, let me tell you, that's what I let her, the master will be atmospheric, give it to her, let her be happy, if you dare not listen to the master, the master will go home and fold a small wooden stick, and make her cry!"

As I spoke, I raised my head and looked at Lao Hong.

Lao Hong twisted a peanut and squinted at me.

"Lao Hong, what are you doing? Eye-droppings? ”

Lao Hong didn't answer, and blinked desperately.

A cold wind blew behind me, and I immediately understood the meaning of Lao Hong's blinking.

"My family's Jiang Qixi, but a very diligent person, my aunt said, I am very blessed, by the way, Grandpa Hong, I can't drink with you, because my Jiang Qixi will be angry, goodbye Grandpa Hong." I said with a shy face.

Lao Hong choked on a sip of wine and squirted out.

I turned around a little embarrassed and looked at Jiang Qixi standing in front of me with a frown.

"Hey, you're here, Grandpa Hong asked me to drink just now, but I didn't drink, it's not good for students to drink, right?"

"yes, but I was behind you, watching for a few minutes."

"I took a sip......," I said, looking back.

Jiang Qixi grabbed my ears, "Chen Xichun, I told you, if you drink secretly, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!" ”

"It hurts! Let go! ”

Jiang Qixi snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Lao Hong, who hurriedly lowered his head.

"And you! Grandpa Hong, if you drink with him again, I won't give you sweet potato cake next time! ”

When Lao Hong heard this, he stood up in a hurry and pointed at me, "Xi'er, he came to me for a drink!" It's none of my business! ”

I glared at Lao Hong, who had already accompanied the smiling face and moved the drunkard peanuts and liquor tea cans to the house.

"Go home!" Jiang Qixi glared at me and said.

I rubbed my ears, followed Jiang Qixi in a gloomy manner, and walked towards Sifang Town.

"Chen Xichun, don't relax too much, you have to know, you are a yin guest, to put it mildly, if there is no lightning strike wood on your body, for more than two years, can you live so peacefully?"

Halfway through, Jiang Qixi was silent for a moment and spoke.

I was speechless for a moment.

"I'm going to tell you something." Jiang Qixi continued.

"What?"

"The bronze beast in the town, another one has fallen."

Bronze Beast fell again?

I remember when the Painted Skin Ghost entered the town, one of the four bronze beasts in the town of Sifang fell, and now another one has fallen? Aren't there only two bronze beasts left?

Jiang Qixi looked at me, "Be careful, I can't tell why the bronze beast suddenly fell, you know, these four bronze beasts were taught by the ancient Dao people to suppress the ghosts under the town, and it stands to reason that they should have quite spiritual power." ”

"Could it be that another ghost has entered the town?" I asked.

More than two years of peace, do you have to be broken?

Jiang Qixi pondered for a moment and shook his head, "If there is dirty things entering the town, there should be something abnormal in the town, but at present, I haven't seen it." ”

"Maybe the bronze beast is old, and when it's old, it's gone."

"I hope so."

After entering Sifang Town, I followed Jiang Qixi a little distracted and walked to the east of the town.

There was a group of people around, there were adults and children, and there were dying old people.

The dying old man wiped his eyes and looked at the bronze beast that had broken into several pieces on the ground with a bit of a dull look.

"What a murderer! Can't stop it! An old man shouted.

The crowd around was full of grumbling.

Through the crowd, I looked at the deflated bronze beast, and my heart felt bitter.

Jiang Qixi frowned, glanced at it a few times, and pulled me home.

I asked Jiang Qixi if he had any clues.

Jiang Qixi didn't answer, and when he got home, he lifted my clothes.

"? I don't want to have a baby right now! I exclaimed.

"Don't move! Pump you again! Jiang Qi said angrily.

I obediently quieted down.

Jiang Qixi's hand wiped the ghost birthmark on my shoulder, wiped it a few times, and picked it a few times with his fingers.

"Something is not good, the color is dark." Jiang Qixi said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" I looked back at Jiang Qixi.

"Meaning, the ashes of the incense burner can't be hidden." Jiang Qixi frowned.

"Could it have something to do with the fall of the Bronze Beast?"

"I don't know, I'm going to figure out something."

Jiang Qixi said and stepped into the house.

Mother had just come out of the house with a pot of stickers.

"Coincidentally, I'll send it to Grandma Zhou."

Grandma Zhou is the old woman of the coffin shop, after the death of the donkey master, she is the only one left, lonely and pitiful, her mother will often make some delicious food, even some of the past, and sometimes let me and Jiang Qixi take it to school and give it to Grandpa Hong to eat.

Mother said that there were some great favors, and I couldn't forget them.

"Go, send it and come back for dinner, your father will be back in two days."

Daddy is coming back, I'm a little happy, Daddy always brings me and Jiang Qixi something outside when he comes home.

I shouted Jiang Qixi, Jiang Qixi didn't respond, I pursed my lips and walked out alone.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

When he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, Jiang Qixi suddenly walked out and spoke.

"Just go, I haven't seen Grandma Zhou for a long time."

To tell you the truth, I am also extremely guilty that the donkey master is dead, if I hadn't gone looking for him, how could he have been killed by the painter.

When I walked to the southernmost part of the town, I saw Grandma Zhou hunched over, squatting in front of the coffin shop, her white hair was not tied up, and she was blown by the wind and hit her face.

"Grandma." I shouted, walked over and squatted down beside Grandma Zhou, and Jiang Qixi also sat down.

"Two good babies." Grandma Zhou squinted her eyes and smiled at us, then turned around and went into the house and took out a handful of melon seeds.

Jiang Qixi took it and kowtowed with his head down.

I put the basin with the stickers on the table behind Grandma Zhou.

"I can't finish eating all of them."

"If you can't finish eating, keep it, I still have a lot of them at home!" I laughed.

Grandma Zhou sighed, "Baby, don't blame yourself, after your donkey master died, I felt uncomfortable, and Old Ghost Hong felt uncomfortable, don't blame yourself." You are a good baby, but unfortunately, but you were born with a yin life, if one day, you can live, to treat Xi'er well, she is not easy. ”

Hearing this, I turned my head and glanced at Jiang Qixi.

Jiang Qixi was listening to Grandma Zhou's words with melon seeds, and when he saw me looking over, his face suddenly turned a little red.

"Look at it! Look at me pumping you again! Hang it up and smoke! Jiang Qixi gritted his teeth and said.

I pouted and turned my head.

Grandma Zhou grinned and laughed.

"You two babies, remember, live well, live well."

"Grandma, I'm still young, I don't want to have a baby!" I hurriedly said loudly.

Jiang Qixi was next to me, twisting my legs angrily.

"It's not small, I married an old man when I was 15 years old, it's not small."

Grandma Zhou sighed again, "No matter what, you have to pass that level." ”

That level refers to the ghost birthmark on my back.
