Chapter 20: Xu Yan

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Song and his parents came to my house with Zhang Li, and I suddenly felt an urge to laugh when I looked at Xiao Song's tangled expression.

Xiao Song's mother came up to me and said to me after seeing me: "Eldest nephew, thank you for what happened last time, Xiao Song and you go out with your aunt this time, don't worry, and Zhang Li, this girl is very good, what else is there to say if he doesn't dislike our poor aunt?" Auntie likes it. ”

I looked at Zhang Li and found that she was looking at me with a smug face, a feeling of being a villain, I rolled my eyes and didn't want to worry about her, I turned to Xiaosong's mother and said, "Auntie, you can rest assured." ”

I took the burden handed over by Li Changgui, and I vaguely heard Xiaosong's father muttering there: "It's good, it's just too big." In order to avoid Zhang Li's embarrassment, we all pretended not to hear.

Li Changgui's wife wiped her eyes, came to me, grabbed my hand and said to me: "Guoqiang, you must take care of yourself and be careful on the road." ”

I nodded heavily and said nothing, I greeted Xiao Song and was about to leave, Zhang Li came to Xiao Song's side at this time, handed him a dozen banknotes and said to him: "No, take it, remember that I am waiting for you in my hometown, you don't give me nonsense outside." ”

Xiao Song hesitated for a moment and finally took Zhang Li's banknote, and then said to her: "Even if I borrow you, I will pay you back in the future." ”

Vaguely, I seemed to hear Shinomatsu's father muttering again: "Such a sensible daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter if she is older." ”

It is estimated that Shinomatsu is now full of black lines, so in order to avoid embarrassment, I pulled Shinomatsu and quickly left the place where I had lived for eighteen years.

By the time we arrived at the train station, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and I handed over all the money to Shinomatsu for safekeeping, who bought two sleepers, and it was expected that we would have to take the train for a day and a night to get to Nanjing.

After getting on the train, I found that there was only one girl on the bottom bunk of the bed opposite, and the other beds were empty, the girl was very quiet, sitting on the bed and staring out of the window in a daze, I didn't know what she was thinking, I felt that she was very beautiful, with long hair and a shawl, and the white dress set off her unique temperament, which made me have a feeling of heartbeat.

Seeing that I was in a daze, Shinomatsu patted me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear, "It's not appropriate for you to do this, right?" What are you doing staring at people all the time? ”

Because we were so close, although Shinomatsu whispered in my ear, the girl heard her, and she turned her head to see that I and Shinomatsu were not talking, and then looked out the window.

When the girl turned her head, I could see her face clearly, her long eyelashes and eyes looked very sad, and her rosy lips were like two pale red petals that were opening, and for a short moment I felt my heart jump out of the cavity.

Seeing my demented expression, Shinomatsu said 'cut' and then a harrier turned over and turned over on my top bunk, I was attracted by Shinomatsu's movements, I looked up at Shinomatsu and asked a little puzzled, "How do I feel like you have practiced?" Last time in the hospital, you kicked the man down. ”

Xiao Song closed his eyes and replied to me lightly: "My uncle is from Shaolin Temple, I stayed with him for a few years when I was a child, and it is said that it was your master who suggested that my father send me there." ”

As soon as I heard Ma Laodao's suggestion, I immediately became interested, and then asked: "That day, Wang Dafu said that you also encountered some strange things when you were born, and in the end, my master helped me, can you tell me what happened?" ”

Xiao Song pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I don't know much about this matter, my father didn't tell me, I only heard my mother say that Ma Daochang has never been to my house since then." ”

"What the hell is your secret? Really, wouldn't it be nice for me to do the math for you. I muttered dissatisfied.

"You're a Taoist?" Then the girl across from me turned her face and whispered to me.

The girl's voice was very gentle, so gentle that you had an urge to protect her when you listened to her, and I couldn't bear to let her be hurt in the slightest. ”

Seeing Shinomatsu call me like this, I said with some dissatisfaction: "When did you learn to tease others?" ”

"Someone else asks you." Shinomatsu turned his face away and said.

Seeing that Xiao Song didn't plan to deal with me, and the girl opposite was waiting for my answer, I had to scratch my head and say to her a little embarrassed: "It's not counting, it's just that my master is a Taoist priest, and I just learned a little from him." ”

"Oh" the girl sighed and then said to me, "Hello, my name is Xu Yan, I don't know if I can ask you for a favor if there is something?" ”

When I heard that the girl was going to ask me for help, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" You say come and hear it. ”

The girl thought for a while before she slowly spoke: "That's the case, I was originally in college in another place, and I have always resisted the idea of ghosts and gods, but recently I don't know why I suddenly seem to be able to see those dead spirits that have long passed away, which has subverted all my previous cognition, I don't know if I have hallucinations or I can really see those ghosts, I am really troubled now, I don't want to see these things anymore." ”

After listening to Xu Yan's words, I pondered for a moment and then said to her, "Is it inconvenient for Fang to tell me your date of birth?" ”

"I am a serpent, and I was born about one o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of the seventh month."

According to Xu Yan's birthday, I roughly calculated that this girl is one year younger than me, but she is a pure yin life, and it is not surprising to meet some ghosts, but what makes me wonder is why she can't see those ghosts until now? It stands to reason that she has been able to see these things since she was very young, right, is there something that a master has done to cover her up?

Xu Yan saw that I didn't say anything for a long time, and asked a little nervously, "What?" Is there no way? ”

I thought about it for a while, shook my head, and then took out a piece of yellow paper from the package I was carrying, and after grinding a little cinnabar, I drew an evil talisman on the spot, and after stamping it with the seal of the Heavenly Master, I handed it to Xu Yan and said: "You take this talisman with you, even if you see some evil spirits, they won't do anything to you, your life is yin, and it's normal to see these dirty things, but for the time being, I can't resolve it for you here, if you have a fate, I'll help you next time we meet." ”

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment but took my talisman, and then said to me, "Thank you, I don't know what your name is." ”

"My name is Ma Guoqiang, you can call my country strong, the brother above me is called Yan Xiaosong."

"Where are you going?"

"Nanjing."

"It's a coincidence, I'm also going back to Nanjing, what are you doing in Nanjing? Your accent doesn't sound like a Nanjingite. ”

"Let's go find someone."

"Oh, do you have a phone then? I'll look for you when you're done. ”

I scratched my head and said with some embarrassment, "I really don't have this one." ”

"So where are you going to Nanjing? Is there an address? ”

"I don't know where I'm going, I just know I'm going to find that person in Nanjing's Pukou District."

Xu Yan said to me with a little disappointment: "That's it, when you're done, I hope you can come to my house as a guest, my home is in Qinhuai District, this is my phone, when you call me, I'll pick you up." After speaking, Xu Yan handed me a set of phone numbers.

After receiving Xu Yan's phone number, I stopped talking, Xu Yan continued to look at the scenery passing by outside the window, I also had a lot of thoughts in my mind, there were so many things that happened in the past two days that I couldn't imagine, and I have been thinking about the next step in my mind, where should I go in the future?

Xu Yan was always so quiet all the way, except for a brief exchange at the beginning, we didn't say much until we got out of the car, only nodded occasionally to say hello.

After arriving in Nanjing, we parted ways with Xu Yan, and I took a taxi directly with Xiaosong and went straight to Pukou District, and after arriving at the place, I first found a hotel with Xiaosong to live in, and then discussed how to find Cangzi.

After arranging the accommodation, Xiao Song asked me coldly: "Guoqiang, don't you think Xu Yan on the train is a little weird?" ”

I was asked by Shinomatsu, a little inexplicable, and I was puzzled and asked, "What's weird?" How can I say that I am also a descendant of Maoshan? What's weird I don't know? ”

Xiao Song thought for a while and finally said: "Forget it, I see that you are fascinated by women, maybe I am too worried." ”

When Xiao Song said this, my face immediately became a little unbearable, and I responded to Xiao Song: "I think you are a woman who is fascinated, and you are almost as old as your mother when you marry a wife." ”

Xiao Song was said by me like this, and said angrily: "This is not thanks to you, don't talk to me about these useless things, let's think about how to find that Cangzi." ”

"How can I find it? At most, let's look for all the Taoist temples here, since it is a high-ranking person who should find it here, the chance is relatively high, let's rest today, and then go out tomorrow to find it. I pouted.

After dinner, Xiao Song and I decided to go out for a walk, Nanjing is a second-tier city, which is so new and exciting for our children in the mountains.

The hotel we stayed in was relatively partial, because several temples in the Pukou District were not in a prosperous place, I was attracted by a burst of sadness and joy while walking around with Shinomatsu, and Shinomatsu didn't feel anything, but I was interested, turned to Shinomatsu and said, "Let's go, let's go over and see, I want to know what kind of customs they have here." ”

Xiao Song gave me a blank look and said, "Boring." But Shinomatsu didn't refuse, and walked right behind me, but this moment my heart suddenly tightened, and I always felt like something was waiting for me.
