Chapter 22: Red Beans, Acacia
I nodded stunned, took the small mahogany box, the box is very exquisite, some auspicious patterns carved on it, open it and put a box of red beans inside?
I looked at Shen Yu for some reason.
Shen Yu's face was rare to see in a hundred years, a touch of pink, looking at my puzzled face, he sighed helplessly: "In July, do you know that on the day a woman becomes an adult, others give her red beans to ask for marriage?" ”
I rolled my eyes, tried hard to recall the books I had seen over the years, and then nodded, "Yes." ”
Seeing that, Shen Yu frowned and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" ”
"Well, naturally I understand, but if you send it to me, I don't have any ideas." I nodded cautiously and took the jewelry box in my hand, and couldn't put it down.
Shen Yu glared at me viciously, suddenly snatched the jewelry box in my hand, turned around and left, and walked with a sense of anger.
I blinked my eyes, looked at his back a little inexplicably, looked down at the empty hand in my hand, and hurriedly caught up with Shen Yu's footsteps: "Shen Yu, why did you give me something and take it back?" Give me back ......."
When the two of us walked to the door of the cottage, it was already dark, and Shen Yu took me sneak in.
From the time the woman took us to the car to now, I actually felt very strange in my heart, what was Shen Yu going to do?
I followed him all the way, silently.
Slowly we came to a cemetery, the cemetery was more cloudy at night, and it was more likely to be haunted, and when we walked in, we found that there was a house in the distance, and there were lights in the house.
This is the house where the mausoleum keepers live, and these people are often homeless and bolder.
As soon as Shen Yu saw the light in the house, he took me in another direction, which made me even more puzzled, Shen Yu was hiding from the mausoleum guard! But why dodge?
I always felt that something bad was about to happen, but I kept holding back and didn't say anything, and when I arrived at a place, I suddenly found the graveyard of the Soul Flag, and I finally couldn't help but ask: "Shen Yu, what do you want to do?" ”
Shen Yu looked at me, smiled helplessly, and then said to me word by word: "Didn't you always want to know what I do?" I'll tell you right now what I'm doing. ”
"What?"
I watched Shen Yu start digging the new grave with his hands, and I was a little shocked.
When we were in the Xuandao Temple, Master, we always told us to do a lot of good deeds and accumulate virtue, and we must not do things to dig people's graves, because this is to damage yin virtue.
"Yue'er, you read that right, I'm indeed digging a grave." Shen Yu looked at me with a panicked face, as if he had expected me to have such a reaction, and there was no dodging in his eyes.
"But we ......," I didn't finish.
"Yue'er, listen to me, I never thought I was a good person before I met you, I have no father and mother since I was a child, and I have followed those beggars to grab food since I was three years old, and sometimes I was almost killed if I couldn't rob it, I have experienced too many things that you can't imagine, and then I met you, I swear, I must protect you well, in fact, I have never done anything to help people exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits."
Shen Yu didn't finish speaking, paused and continued: "Four years ago, I was too young, even if I went to work in the factory, there was no way to support you and the master, the master was also damaged by the poison, and there must be precious medicinal materials to save my life, at that time, I had no choice, I had done everything I had done to steal chickens and dogs, even then I didn't regret it, because I wanted to protect you and the master, and then a mysterious person found me, and he told me that as long as I helped him do things, he could give me a high salary, and that's the only way, You and the master have only been able to live a little better in the past few years, but I can guarantee that all the money I earn is clean, Yue'er, don't be afraid of me, okay, there must be a person between the two of us whose hands and hearts are clean. ”
"Yue'er, my hands and heart have already succumbed to this world, the only clean place is you, if one day, what I did is known by the master, Yue'er, don't intercede for me, I will apologize for myself, but you have to live well."
I listened to what he said in amazement, and my heart suddenly had mixed feelings.
I really can't imagine that the one who always said to me gently, July, don't be afraid, I'm here.
That breezy man will bow to life one day, and I didn't even think that on weekdays, my daily expenses in the Xuandao Temple were all the money of this man in front of me, doing things he didn't want to do.
Therefore, every time he returned to the Xuandao Temple covered in scars, he just wanted to make our lives better, he was just a teenager, but he had to bear such family pressure and burden.
After so many years of growth, he has suffered many times more than I don't know, and I, I just want revenge.
"Yue'er, don't be afraid." Shen Yu looked at me cautiously with tenderness in his eyes, as if he was afraid of something.
I finally knew why he had such a disgusted expression when he saw the woman, and why he became gloomy when he got off the mountain.
Listening to his still gentle voice and gentle smile, I didn't want to jump directly into his arms.
"Yue'er, you have to remember that no matter how dirty I become, there will always be a piece in my heart, a clean and pure place that belongs to you." Shen Yu touched my head, his fingers gently running through my hair, and his voice was low.
My tears flowed down silently, and I immediately wiped my tears, and once Shen Yu returned to the mountain and said, "Then what else?" I can't run away anyway, I'm destined to haunt you for the rest of my life. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yu hugged me tightly, as if he were treating the most precious treasure in the world.
At that time, I didn't know what the relationship between men and women was, and by the time I did, it was already too late.
I immediately pushed him away, knelt on the grave and kowtowed to the grave, and then took out the Luoyang shovel on my back and began to dig up.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, wanting to stop me, I raised my eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Have you forgotten?" I also said that I will protect you for the rest of your life, although we are dirty, but we try to wash it clean, can't we? ”
When Shen Yu heard this, he laughed, and then took the Luoyang shovel and began to dig.
The two of us acted very quickly, and soon dug out your coffin, the strange thing, there was a big python lying on the top of the coffin, the snake hovered over the coffin's body, only a skeleton remained, the skeleton was red, and there was a small snake next to it that spat at us.
Shen Yu and I looked at each other, and I could see that it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.
"The snake is also known as the little dragon, this is a black coffin, a snake pan coffin, this is a warm grave, it can be recycled!" In the years when the Taoist temple swept the floor in the back mountain, I didn't do anything, so I read all the books in the back mountain, and I was born with the ability to never forget, and basically printed all the contents of the books in my mind.
"But there is a small snake next to it, this little snake's eyes are red, the soul of the tomb owner should be given to its body, if we rush to open the coffin, I am afraid that something big will happen." Shen Yu said solemnly.
"That's right, there is only one coffin in this coffin, there is no coffin, and there is a ghost suppression talisman drawn on it with black dog blood!" There is a murderous coffin in the warm grave, which ......
"Shen Yu, you see, there are seven coffin nails like this, but there are eight coffin nails on this coffin, which are still made of mahogany."
I looked at the coffin nails on it and asked strangely, this coffin nail is usually seven, which means that the three souls and seven spirits return to dust.
Shen Yu saw that something was wrong: "Looking at the drawing method of the ghost talisman above, this person should be an expert, but why do you want to put eight coffin nails, is it ......?"
Shen Yu looked at the side of the coffin, took the Luoyang shovel and dug it up, and it didn't take long for a small coffin to appear in front of us.
I sighed: "One grave and two burials!" ”
The two of us looked at the two coffins in front of us seriously, one large and one small, which should be the coffin of the mother and son, and the grave of the joint burial.
"No matter, what did Shen Yu ask you to do?" I was puzzled, but I didn't think much of it.
"Corpse oil."
"Corpse oil? But now that there are two coffins, which one shall we take? I asked.
"Big, when you take it later, you stay away, if you encounter something unclean, the soul ruler will give her a ride directly, so as to alleviate our sins." Shen Yu handed me a golden dagger.
The two of us lit three sticks of incense next to the two coffins, and then, standing on both sides of the coffin, two daggers were inserted at the same time.
Shen Yu nodded at me, and I exerted force at the same time.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the coffin nail was cocked by us, and strangely, the little snake was just wrapped around the small coffin, and the blood-red eyes watched us open the coffin, and the original big snake skeleton had been invited aside by me.
"Shen Yu, be careful!" I reminded, and then the two of us exerted our strength again, and the lid of the coffin was opened in an instant.
The moment the lid of the coffin was opened, a cold cold air kept attacking us, and Shen Yu and I got out of the way at the same time to avoid this yin qi.
Once the yin qi enters the body, it will be crippled if it does not die in the second half of its life.
I put on a white candle, the person lit the candle, and the ghost blew it out, which proves that this coffin must be put back in perfect condition, if it is not extinguished, then there is no need to worry.
Shen Yu drew a charm on his hand and nodded at me, and I went to the coffin with him.
