Chapter 5 Childe Zhong Jiu
At night, there were no diners in the inn, and Linlang sat at the table facing the door, holding his cheeks with one hand and knocking on the table with the other. Xiao Lianzi has already started to clean up the tables and chairs, and after a while, it will be time to close.
The husband outside the door had already knocked on the second watch, and Cai Wei was still counting today's running water at the counter, and Linlang yawned, almost unable to stand up.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and a man came in through the door, and the man was more than seven feet tall, wearing a black cloak, and the hat on the cloak covered his head, almost covering most of his face. He picked up the table at the door and sat down, Linlang immediately stood up from the stool, stared at a pot of tea, took the tea bowl on the table and poured it with water, and asked, "Childe, do you want to stay in the store?" ”
The man took off his hat and glanced up at Linlang. At that glance, there was an indescribable feeling, but it was fleeting. He immediately turned his head and looked into the distance. Linlang didn't have time to distinguish it, she was still sleepy, and when she saw the man's face, she instantly fell asleep. She only cares about nymphomaniac, because this man is very handsome, with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and sharp contours, but his eyes are cold and deep, and his skin is a little pale from a black dress. What puzzled Linlang a little was that she felt that this person looked very familiar.
Linlang sat down across from him and smiled slightly, "Childe, what do you want to eat?" ”
Zhong Jiu glanced at the enthusiastic girl in front of him, and replied coldly: "You can come to whatever you have in this store." ”
Linlang looked at Zhong Jiu intently, and replied after a while: "The noodle soup made by my mother is very good." ”
Zhong Jiu raised his head and glanced at her again, and said coldly, "Then let's have a bowl." ”
Linlang turned around and shouted to Cai Wei, who was dialing the abacus in front of the counter, "Mother, a bowl of noodle soup." ”
Cai Wei raised her head, brushed the hair from her ears, hummed gently, and got up and went into the kitchen.
Linlang continued to sit across from Zhong Jiu and talk to him, to be exact, she herself was chattering.
"Where is Childe from?"
"Where is Childe going?"
"Childe isn't a local, is he?"
"Have I seen Childe anywhere? How is it so familiar? ”
"Childe ......"
Linlang chattered for a long time, but Zhong Jiu didn't answer a word, just looked at her expressionlessly, but her face was gray and not very good-looking. Linlang thought he didn't like to bother, so he shut up.
She got up and sat down at another table, and the inn was quiet, except for the sound of Xiao Lianzi closing the table and chairs. There was a faint scent of smoke in the air, which seemed to emanate from Zhong Jiu's body. Linlang seemed to have smelled this fragrance somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.
Mother doesn't use incense, and she never gets contaminated herself. She couldn't help it again, "Childe's surname?" "Maybe I've seen it somewhere.
Linlang thought that he would ignore him, but he heard a male voice from Qingwei.
"Zhong Jiu."
Linlang held her cheeks and smiled, "My name is Linlang, Linlang is full of dazzling Linlang." ”
Zhong Jiu's eyes were as black as ink, he glanced at Linlang deeply, hummed in a low voice, and then didn't speak again.
The noodles were quickly served, and Zhong Jiu ate the noodles quietly. After eating the noodles, he suddenly turned around and asked Linlang, who was in the fugue, "Do you recognize me?" ”
Linlang was confused for a moment, and then shook her head gently, "I shouldn't have seen you before, otherwise, I should have an impression that you are so handsome." ”
The expression on Zhong Jiu's face changed slightly, frowning as if he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak. He turned around, Linlang felt a little strange in her heart, she always felt that she knew Zhong Jiu, but she really hadn't seen her, and she didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time.
Zhong Jiu sat for a long time, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and slowly took a sip of tea. Gently put down the tea bowl, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, put them on the table, got up and looked at Linlang again, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't associate with those evil people anymore, people and ghosts have different paths, I'm afraid it will harm you." With that, he left the inn.
Linlang was stunned for a moment, and was even more puzzled in her heart, who is he? Why did you know about her and Liangqing and Liangji? Could it be the same as that Quanzhen Taoist, who knows fortune telling? She became more and more curious.
Linlang suddenly rose up for some reason, got up and chased out. She stood at the door, tilted her head to look at Zhong Jiu, and her red lips opened slightly: "Childe, will you still come?" ”
Zhong Jiu stopped and didn't look back, dressed in black that almost blended with the night. After a long while, I didn't see him answer, and I was full of disappointment. Zhong Jiu raised her feet and continued to walk forward, and a gentle hum word floated over with the wind and floated into Linlang's ears, she was very satisfied.
Watching Zhong Jiu's back disappear into the vast darkness, Linlang entered the inn, Xiao Linzi had already collected the dishes and chopsticks, and only the few copper coins were still lying there safely. She picked up the copper coin on the table, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance on the coin, which was refreshing and refreshing.
Linlang sat quietly on the stool with a tea bowl, and Zhong Jiu's appearance always appeared in his head. Cai Wei came over to call her, and she woke up like a dream. She raised her head and asked, "Mother, have you ever seen that son just now?" ”
Cai Wei thought for a while, and then said: "The face is very raw, I have never seen it, looking at the clothes, it should not be a local." ”
Linlang muttered, "How can I feel a sense of déjà vu? ”
When Cai Wei heard Linlang say this, she suddenly smiled, stretched out her finger and poked Linlang's head, and said, "No wonder you looked at that son stupidly just now, sure enough, the female eldest has not stayed, and she has already started to think about spring." ”
Linlang only felt a rush of hot blood rushing into her brain, her face seemed to have a fever, and even her ears were hot and itchy. She stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Mother doesn't come to joke, where do I think of spring?" ”
Cai Wei laughed for a while, and then said: "That son is unknown, don't look at him with a good skin, just be merciful to him." You're still young, but be careful, don't be deceived by that good-skinned son. ”
Linlang was dissatisfied with being teased by Cai Wei, and pouted and retorted: "My mother is talking more and more nonsense, I didn't show mercy to him, I was just a little curious." ”
In the middle of the night, Linlang quietly went downstairs again, but Liangqing and Liangji, who had always been punctual, appeared after a long time.
"Why are you so late today? I can't even stand it. Linlang opened her mouth and complained.
The two ghosts glanced at each other, and smiled: "Something delayed?" ”
"What will happen to you?"
"Uh......" Liangqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Linlang, we won't bother you in the future." ”
"Why? Didn't you say yesterday that there was nowhere to go? Oh...... I see, you said that there was a delay, could it be that you found a good place to go? Linlang finally reacted a little.
Liangji said to her mysteriously: "Today we met a noble person, who said that he could help us reincarnate, but it was just ......" Liangji was halfway through speaking, and Liangqing coughed lightly on the side, as if he had something to hide from her.
Linlang was a little unhappy, and said with a calm face: "I have taken you in for so long, and now I am unwilling to tell me something, which is really disappointing." ”
Seeing her face, Liangji hurriedly grabbed her shirt and explained: "It's not that we don't want to say it, it's just that the noble person has conditions, so we are not allowed to tell others." ”
"Am I someone else? I have become someone else in your eyes. Linlang was even more unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. The noble man said, you are human beings, we are ghosts, and people and ghosts have different paths. To be with you is to harm you. Liangqing said.
People and ghosts have different paths, and someone just told her this today. The doubts in her heart became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help asking, "Is that person wearing a black robe?" ”
"Yes, how do you know?"
Where did she know, it was just random speculation. Zhong Jiuqi, as her mother said, is unknown. It's puzzling.
