37 Rift
Under the dim light, the little girl's pale face was a little soft, Shen Qiu hadn't come back yet, she was sitting on the soft couch next to her, talking incoherently about some old conversations, some of which he had heard, but some of which seemed to be very old.
"Mr. Yang from the pharmacy was good-looking when he was a child, white and clean, better looking than my fiancΓ©, but unfortunately his personality is too rigid, and he always teaches others fiercely, and other children don't like to play with him."
"Sister Cheng Ying in the broken temple is about to go to reincarnation, and only Ruyun will accompany me in the future, but unfortunately her bones have not been found, so she should be sad to leave, blame me for being too useless and unable to help."
"There is a mother-in-law on East Street who makes peach shortbread that is delicious, but unfortunately I can only smell it but can't eat it, but my mother-in-law's son is really annoying, and he has been pestering his mother-in-law and refusing to leave, so he may not be able to smell it in the future."
"The sister who didn't want to speak was still fierce, and she refused to pay attention to me for so long, but yesterday when I passed by the inn, she also saved my life, and it really worked if I persisted."
β¦β¦
Mr. Pharmacy...... It can't be Yang Zuochuan, right? There are several peach shortbread stalls on East Street...... Shen Shuyi thought silently in his heart, there are many ghosts in the world who have not been reincarnated in time, people walk in the world, and ghosts shuttle through the dark places where people are sparsely populated, every night, people and ghosts are rampant, but unfortunately people themselves are not aware of it, it is not so much a terrible picture, but a grand occasion, and far more than all the prosperity in the world.
He suddenly wondered what it would be like if he could see a ghost. That was supposed to be the world he really lived in, but he escaped like this for more than ten years.
However, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but sigh softly, he still forgot it, even the little girl in front of him who looked harmless, he also faintly harbored a trace of fear, very strange, as if it was mandatory, as long as he was facing a ghost, he would subconsciously feel this way.
The little girl seems to be very good at talking to herself, and she doesn't stop for more than half an hour, but Shen Qiu hasn't come back yet, this is a little abnormal, Shen Qiu has always been trustworthy, and he just went to the kitchen to serve a meal, how did he seem to lose it halfway.
Waited until eight or nine o'clock, Shen Shuyi couldn't feel hungry or not, the symptoms of leaving the soul had not subsided, the little girl was chattering like a lullaby, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids, he wanted to wait for something to eat before sleeping, but unfortunately he couldn't hold back, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright.
The pillow behind him had been taken away, he lay flat on the bed, raised his head slightly, and saw that the little girl had indeed left, but there was still a person lying on the table, it was Ah Liu.
"Six sons!" He shouted, feeling like he could control his tongue a lot.
Ah Liu looked back and saw that he had woken up, ran to the side of the bed, and said with a smile on his face: "Young master, you are awake, the second master told me before leaving, saying that when you wake up, I will eat, and I will take it." β
As he spoke, Shen Shuyi stopped him and asked, "Wait a minute, what is my uncle doing?" β
Ah Liu shook his head and replied to him: "I don't know, I was brought out of bed in the middle of the night last night, and then I went out with the master, it seems that there is something urgent, young master, you can take a look, most of the night I have dark under my eyes." β
"Yes, yes, go quickly, I'm going to starve to death." He urged, and when Ah Liu left, he began to hold on to the bed frame alone and wanted to get out of bed and walk.
Although he cared about Shen Qiu's affairs, he never worried, and last night he guessed that nine times out of ten, he suddenly had some kind of work, and his father suddenly called someone to go, so he was left alone in the house. This kind of thing has happened before, and it is a small job, so simply let Shen Qiu go alone, not too big or too small for his father to go in person, if it is not easy to do, the two of them will go together, and Shen Qiu will give his father a hand. However, he has been studying abroad for so many years, and he doesn't know if his craft is unfamiliar.
You must know that although Shen Qiu didn't learn the secret art of the Shen family, the talisman painting was really good, and he wouldn't make a mistake in drawing a hundred sheets, he couldn't, only half of the one hundred sheets could be used, and he always forgot to add something carelessly, or filled in a few more strokes carelessly, and his personality was also jumpy, but Shen Qiu was more stable than him.
Slowly descending to the ground, even if he held on to the bed frame, he still swayed a little, he stood for a while to get used to it, and then cautiously walked towards the dining table. This feeling can be described as wonderful, obviously the hands and feet are their own, but as if they are not in place, only two steps out of one stumbling almost fell to the ground, fortunately the table is not far away, so he pounced forward, just enough to reach a stool, he helped to stand and sit down.
The tea in the teapot was already cold, so he directly took a few big sips of the teapot, and after drinking, Ah Liu and the two girls just came in with a few plates of porridge and side dishes.
Shen Shuyi looked at the chopsticks that a girl put in his hand and said, "Which chopsticks do you use to drink porridge, change it to a spoon." β
The little girl glanced at him with a flat mouth, took the chopsticks and went down to change, and Ah Liu, at this time, she came over stupidly and asked: "Young master, didn't you say that the spoon is not easy to use, and all the chopsticks are used?" β
Shen Shuyi glared at him, slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded: "Master can use whatever he wants, what mouth is more, not afraid of being beaten?" β
Ah Liu also seemed to feel as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he was busy smiling and admitting his mistake to the young master, and after a while, the spoon was replaced, Shen Shuyi buried his head in eating, and he began to look out of the door again, as if there was something outside that hooked his soul.
"What's the matter, which little girl asked you out to play?" He asked.
Ah Liu was full of energy, and said with a smile: "Young master, you forgot, the fourth master's troupe is coming at noon today, do you want to eat quickly and go to see a lively scene later?" β
Shen Shuyi was stunned, the troupe is coming today? What day is it? Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked, "How many days have I been asleep?" β
It is said that the first seven days of the funeral drama troupe will arrive the day before, if this is the case, he will sleep for more than two days, and he also promised Zhou Jingchen before, this is good, seeing that tomorrow will be the day.
Ah Liu really raised two fingers, and said with a worried look: "Young master, you can really sleep, Madame is so worried that she almost splashes a bucket of water to wake you up." β
Shen Shuyi was silent, this was indeed something his mother could do, but this time he suddenly understood what was going on with the "two and a half" people that Yang Xian said, and the "half" eight achievements were unable to sleep after they came out, and fortunately he had a nightmare, but he saved his life.
"If you don't go, you are not allowed to go, I will take a post to Lu's house in a while, and invite Lu Qichi over, I have something to say to him." He said, at this time, when he goes out to see the excitement, others look at him almost the same.
Hearing this, Ah Liu was stunned, and responded with a dejected "yes", just as Shen Shuyi stretched out his hand to hold the porridge, and his wrist was across his eyes, revealing the jade piece, but he asked with some surprise: "Young master, why is your piece of jade broken again?" β
Broken again? Shen Shuyi looked down, no, there were two cracks on the jade piece now, and he couldn't help but reflect, did he run into it when he was sleeping and rolling around last night? But this jade is too, it is so brittle and difficult to keep that it will be completely broken in a few days, and Yang Xian will not pick a sturdy object for him.
However, he couldn't help but think more, there has always been a legend that some spiritual jade will ward off disasters for the master, if a crack is a disaster, then wouldn't this jade piece have already blocked two paths for him? But what calamity has there for him? If you have to count it, the strange dream that woke him up could be one, and what is the second?
This second crack appeared in the process of his sleep, if it was really not accidentally broken, then there is only one possibility, this disaster is the "job" that disturbed his father and Shen Qiu last night, it must not be a trivial matter to let the two of them go together, now it seems that this matter is probably still a little dangerous, after all, even the jade piece has been affected.
This explanation is naturally much more credible than the broken one, after all, it is an object in the Dark Yang Mirror, and it is not so fragile, but what makes him have to think about it again, what is the purpose of Yang Xian giving her such a jade?
No matter how strong the jade is, the disaster that can help others is limited, if this jade piece can't help but be broken directly after a while, how can the agreement between them be counted?
When he came out, although Yang Xian said that he just wanted him to help let the two of them out, he always felt that it was more than that, and he wanted a business affair under the pretext of a private affair, but Yang Xian didn't mention it at all, and let him go out generously, obviously with full confidence to win this agreement.
There must be a demon when something happens, what is Yang Xian's bet on? It must be that he needs the Stygian Mirror urgently, but what does he need the Stygian Mirror for? There is only one possibility, that is, when even his father can't protect the Shen family.
Ah Liu saw that his face was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly pushed him and asked, "Young Master, are you okay?" β
Shen Shuyi came back to his senses, shook his head, put down the spoon and didn't plan to eat it anymore, and said: "After you send a post to the Lu family in the afternoon, you will send a letter to the troupe for me, anyone in it can play, and you can play as long as you like." β
Ah Liu immediately raised his eyebrows and nodded, "That's not a trivial matter, make sure to do it." β
Shen Shuyi also grinned and said, "It's not over yet, you come here, there is something for you to do, this is a big deal, if you can't do it, you won't be allowed to eat for three days!" β
This smile frightened Ah Liuyi, but Shen Shuyi's expression was usually not good, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, but he still obediently leaned over.
After a long time, Shen Shuyi patted Ah Liu's shoulder to show encouragement, and then stood up and walked to the bed, this time he walked very steadily, and he didn't shake it, but Ah Liu's face behind him was extremely weird, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't say anything after a few times.
Lying on the bed, an afternoon was enough for him to recuperate, closed his eyes and finally said, "Go, lord believe you, remember not to let others see it." β
