Chapter 20: Halloween (3)
"Why don't you count, you are obviously lying to other people, Master Liu, and you are not a charlatan."
As soon as Shanshan said this, Ding Jiu's eyes widened, and the chopsticks knocked down on the table, "Miss Shanshan, you are wrong!" ”
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu both looked at Ding Jiu with interest, I have to say, although what this Taoist priest said is not very credible, but the words are not rough, looking at him like this, he has also been "mixed" in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but there are some surprises that they didn't expect, and it is not bad to have such a one.
Chu Yu thought so, and under Shanshan's gaze that didn't believe him, he only heard Ding Jiu suddenly smile and said, "Shanshan~"
Shanshan glared, and Ding Jiu immediately changed his words, "Miss Shanshan, Xiaodao thinks you can take what you just said." ”
This Ding Jiu's face was not serious, Shanshan raised his eyebrows, and motioned for him to continue.
"First of all, I said that I didn't cheat and deceive, because Master Liu came to the door by himself, as for where he heard that I would catch ghosts and exorcise demons, I don't know, one buy and one sell, it can't be regarded as cheating, second, that is, I haven't denied that I'm not a charlatan, but, you three, I Ding Jiu haven't been deceived, what about the third......"
Seeing him touch his mustache and smile mysteriously, Chu Yu couldn't help but ask him, "How about the third?" ”
He glanced meaningfully at the three of them and said, "These three are ...... Don't say it, don't say it! ”
The three of them listened to him with interest, who knew that there was such an answer to the matter, Shanshan pursed her lips, Zhao Yu shook her head, but Chu Yu laughed and slapped his palms with a folding fan, "It's a good one!" Hahaha! ”
Ding Jiu also laughed.
The meal ended under laughter, a few people paid and left, as soon as they got out of the inn, they found that it was already dark, and the streets were full of people, and they began to be lively, and even more people had begun to light the lanterns, all kinds of shouting and selling voices floated in the air, looking at this bustling night market, Chu Yu nodded with satisfaction, I only hope that all people can live happily like this, there is no disaster, no sorrow, but life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, this is also an expectation for the future, and when he finds his father and queen, he will be able to do it. Govern the country well.
Zhao Yu walked behind him, looking at such a scene is also a look of satisfaction, Shanshan walked beside him, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of him looking at the people with tenderness in his eyes, only to feel that he was also satisfied, but Ding Jiu swaggered in front of them with a diagonal bag, and took out a feather fan from his bag, humming a small tune, he was in a very good mood, looking at him like this, Chu Yu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, this Ding Jiu is really interesting, and he is quite good at selling Guanzi.
Unconsciously walked to the bridge, Ding Jiu suddenly stopped, approached Shanshan two or three steps, and Shanshan subconsciously dodged back.
"Miss Shanshan, am I so terrible? Although I am a Taoist, I am also a good Taoist! ”
Shanshan listened to his serious nonsense and nodded his head.
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu looked at each other and smiled, only to hear the expression on Ding Jiu's face change from incredible and mysterious to mysterious, "Miss Shanshan is the first time to celebrate the Midyear Festival!" ”
Shanshan nodded.
"So you haven't let go of the lanterns?"
Zhao Yu said, "The lanterns are not only available on the Midyear Festival, maybe Shanshan will let them go on other festivals!" ”
"Well, what Xiaoyu said is, Shanshan, have you put lanterns on other festivals?"
Shanshan shook her head, "I don't like this kind of thing. ”
Ding Jiu frowned, his face was incredulous, "Hiss-Shanshan!" You're still not a woman! As a woman, how could you not love something so beautiful? It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense! ”
Shanshan shook her head helplessly, no way, she has been studying martial arts with her mother since she was a child, and she can't touch these!
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu were also helpless when they heard this, and he spoke again, "But there is one more thing, that is, the other festivals that this stone head just said, how can the lanterns of other festivals be compared with the lanterns of the Halloween Festival!" ”
"What did you say!"
Zhao Yu's eyes were cold, and in an instant, the knife on his back suddenly flew up, Zhao Yu raised his hand to catch it, and a spinner hand hit a blade wind, which was directly on Ding Jiu's neck, and the feather fan fell to the ground, Ding Jiu was blindsided in an instant, blinked, and stammered, "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously! ”
Chu Yu also looked at him with a straight face, this time he was stupid, it was broken, the joke was too big, and his life could not be saved!
Seeing that his face was frightened, Chu Yu smiled, "Okay, Xiaoyu, it's over." ”
Zhao Yu snorted coldly, brushed it, and the knife returned to his back, Ding Jiu laughed unnaturally, picked up the fan from the ground with shaking hands, and muttered, "Now it's certain, how can this be something that the monarch can do......"
"Brother Ding, you don't matter, right?"
"Huh?" Ding Jiu came back to his senses, "Ah, it's okay, it's okay!" I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how could I be so easily frightened? How can it be? ”
Looking at his extremely unnatural expression, the three of them laughed secretly.
"Daoist Ding, what did you just say...... What is the difference between the lanterns of the Midyear Festival? ”
Ding Jiu thought to himself, it seems that these people have all practiced, and they can't act rashly, well, it's better to be careful.
"Speaking of the lanterns of the Midyear Festival, do you know who the lanterns of the Midyear Festival are for?"
"River God?"
Ding Jiu smiled, "Wrong! This is not a lantern for the river god. ”
"Who is that for?" , Zhao Yu asked.
"Say you're a stone head, you still don't believe it."
Zhao Yu's face darkened, Ding Jiu hurriedly took a step back, opened the distance, and saw that Zhao Yu was just scaring and scaring him, he continued, "The lanterns of the Midyear Festival, of course, are for ghosts, otherwise how can you pray for your family?" ”
"Pray for your family, and ask for ghosts?" Chu Yu was puzzled.
"It's not about asking for ghosts, it's about buying ghosts." , Ding Jiu shook the feather fan, and said as he walked, "At the last hour of the Midyear Festival every year, the ghost gate is wide open, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts have come out of the ghost gate to visit relatives in the sun. Maybe someone else will be attached! Resurrect the soul with the corpse! Yes! ”
"Ah!!!h
Ding Jiu suddenly turned around and shouted, startling Shanshan, who was listening seriously, and punched him in the right eye, Ding Jiu was stunned, then jumped up with his right eye, shouting as he jumped, "Shanshan, what are you doing here!" ”
Shanshan also knew how heavy her punch was, and she was a little embarrassed, but she still snorted coldly and said, "Who told you to scare me!" ”
Ding Jiu pointed at her with a feather fan, "You!! ”
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing.
After that pain passed, Ding Jiu moved his hand, and his right eye was obviously swollen, "Okay, okay, it's really unlucky!" I won't follow you all the way! I'm going to catch a ghost for Master Liu! ”
Ding Jiu left angrily, looking at the way he left angrily, the three of them looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, although he didn't look very reliable, but it was very interesting.
As soon as Ding Jiu left, the three of them went all the way to the bridge, only to see the moonlight in the sky sprinkled on the bridge, gray, and there was a person standing on the bridge, dressed in white, looking like a scholar, holding the bridge railing with both hands, looking at the empty front, and sighed, as if there was something on his mind.
When the three of them looked at it, they didn't see anything, and when they stepped on the bridge, they saw that the man was suddenly holding on to the edge of the bridge and was about to climb up, he was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river!
"Xiaoyu, hurry!"
Without waiting for Chu Yu to finish speaking, Zhao Yu had already taken a step out, and ran over in a few steps, just when he was about to fall down, Zhao Yu rescued him back, frightened, Zhao Yu put him on the bridge, he leaned on the bridge, his face was pale, looking at the strange Zhao Yu, Chu Yu and Shanshan also rushed over, looking at his lifeless appearance, his eyes were dim, he held the bridge on his back, and stood up tremblingly, "Thank you for rescuing." ”
The three of them were a little stunned when they looked at him in despair, but they never imagined that as soon as he rescued him, he turned around and wanted to jump into the river again.
Chu Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, "This brother, what can't you think of, do you have to solve it with death?" What can't be solved well, but you have to think about it? ”
The man stopped and sighed, "You don't need to persuade me, let alone save me, only death can free me." ”
As he spoke, he was going to jump down again.
At this moment, a woman's voice came out in the distance, and when she heard this voice, not only the three of them were strange, but this strange person also paused, his expression changed greatly, and he looked alive, "Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan......"
"Brother! Elder brother! ”
I saw a girl in a goose yellow dress running over, her eyes full of urgency, "Brother, what are you doing here!" ”
Xuanxuan scolded angrily, "Do you know that everyone is worried about you! ”
He lowered his head in shame, "Xuanxuan......"
The three of them watched the interaction between the two of them and consciously took a step back.
"Brother! Do you know what you're doing? Just for such a woman, is it worth it! ”
"Xuanxuan, you, why are you here?"
Xuanxuan dragged him away from the bridge, he obviously lost his momentum, the momentum of death just now, Xuanxuan saw Chu Yu and the three of them, and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you three for saving my brother." ”
Shanshan asked strangely, "How did you know that we saved your brother?" ”
I saw her look at him on the white side, and said angrily, "My brother has already skipped here many times!" Every time, he met a good Samaritan who saved him! I really don't know what he thinks! ”
Ever since this Xuanxuan came, he has been keeping his head down, whether he raised his head, he also looked at Xuanxuan.
Chu Yu smiled, "I see, in this case, you really have to persuade your brother!" ”
Xuanxuan's eyes were blazing, with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows, she was a Peugeot little girl, she looked at the three of them and said gratefully, "The three of you saved my brother, why don't you go to my house and sit down!" Our house is just in front, not far away. ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and Xuanxuan thought that they didn't agree, so she hurriedly said, "It's good to sit and have a cup of tea." ”
couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so I had to go back with her, but when I arrived, I found out that they were ......
