Chapter 1 Going to College
Wu Ye walked back and forth on the top of the high hillside, feeling anxious in his heart, and even Xiao Hei on the side knew not to bother him. Xiao Hei sat obediently on the ground, wagging his tail at Wu Ye in a friendly manner, and looked into the distance with him.
Why haven't you come yet? It should be today!
Wu Ye looked at the pocket watch in his hand. That's right, it's the pocket watch, which his grandfather used when he was young, and it's the most valuable thing in the house.
The pocket watch ticked and ticked, and there was a circle of indecipherable marks around the dial, like the engraved marks on some compass.
Wu Ye felt physically and mentally exhausted now, after all, he had been waiting since noon, but now the afterglow of dusk had shone on his face, in short, a desolate feeling came to his face.
In fact, what he is waiting for now is his university admission letter, and only by receiving this can he truly become a promising young man who can serve the motherland and study for the rise of China.
Of course, to be honest, the most important thing is to leave this home, not that this house is bad, but he feels that the world is so big, and he wants to go out and see.
Because Wu Ye's home is halfway up the mountain, he always likes to look at the town below the mountain from the roof of his house, but more often he looks at the mountain in the distance, because he doesn't know where it is on the other side of the mountain, he has never left this F county, he looks forward to the life on the other side of the mountain, but this time there was green smoke on his ancestral grave, and he was actually admitted to S City.
S City, but it is an international metropolis, and even the capital city of his province can't compare, of course, he doesn't know how good it is. He only knows that there are many girls there, there is more money, and there are more girls, whether it is the former or the latter, it makes him drool just thinking about it.
"Wang" Xiao Hei's barking pulled Wu Ye back from his yy, and he found that there was a man in a post office costume standing in the sunset not far away, and the other party at this time was like a god-like existence in Wu Ye's eyes, and the light behind the other party shone on him and couldn't bear to look at it!
But the postman didn't dare to come forward, because Xiao Hei kept barking at him, after all, if Xiao Hei stood up, he would definitely be much taller and more powerful than the average adult man, and it was even cooler with a pitch-black fur, but it was more like a wolf to say that it was a dog.
The postman was already out of breath when he climbed uphill, and there was a vicious dog staring at him in front of him, barking at him incessantly, and it was possible to rush over and bite him to death.
He looked at the person opposite, and couldn't help but think in his mind, damn it, why does this fool just look at me and laugh, and don't drive the dog away, how can I get over? How did this dog grow so big, it scared me to death! I actually don't live in the town, my family lives in this mountain, I have a brain disease, and I'm tired of climbing!
Wu Ye realized that something was wrong at this time, and glared back at Xiao Hei, who ran home with his tail between his legs in fright. The postman was also relieved to see this, and although he was unhappy, he still maintained a friendly attitude.
"It's Wu Ye! Please sign here. The postman said, pointing to a spot on the envelope.
Wu Ye took the envelope, the big words "Fengbang University" on it sparkled in the light of the setting sun, he felt the things in his hand feel heavy, and a thousand words came to his heart
"Ahem" The postman's coughing voice woke Wu Ye from his fantasy, and when he saw that the postman's eyes were already full of impatience, he signed his name in the recipient's place like a cloud.
The postman casually verified, turned around and left without looking back, and Wu Ye waved goodbye behind him. Seeing that the other party was walking away, Wu Ye turned around and went home, and on the way home, he couldn't wait to open the envelope in his hand.
When he saw the words "Congratulations to Wu Ye for his successful admission to this school", his heart suddenly blossomed, and he even went home a little faster, and he wanted to tell his family the good news
"Hurry up, the young master is coming back soon." A long-haired woman in the usual laid-back clothes of the county was busy in the kitchen, she looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was very professional in her actions.
And now she was talking to the person, no, a monster to be exact, because across from her was a man of human height, but a huge eye that covered the entire face, and a small horn on the head. The one-eyed monster replied in his own rough voice: "Sister Xiaoling, the mountain ghost hasn't cut the firewood back yet, and there is no firewood to make a fire here!" β
The woman named Xiaoling looked angry, "That guy from the mountain ghost must have gone to tease Huahua again." See him come back, I won't kill him. In an instant, the rolling pin in her hand snapped and broke, and the people around her sped up the movement of their hands, for fear that they would become a second rolling pin.
"Xiaoling, how's it going? Nighta is coming back. I can already feel his anger," the person who spoke was a middle-aged woman who had just come in from the door, she was actually wearing a red cheongsam, holding a fan in her hand, and looked at Xiao Ling who was busy in the kitchen with a smile and asked.
"Ah, little mom, why are you here, I haven't done it yet, they're all mountain ghosts, and now there's no firewood to burn, how can you cook here?" Xiao Ling said with a helpless look.
"You can use a gas stove!" The beautiful young woman pointed to the dusty gas stove in the corner.
"That, we won't know it, Xiaoye and Big Mom will use it at home, we won't!"
"Then I'll go find Sister Fen, she should be happy." After speaking, he turned around and left, but Xiao Ling grabbed her at once, and said weakly: "Xiao Ye is leaving, I want to cook a meal for him myself at the end" As he spoke, his eyes began to turn red.
"Okay, you can do it! You will definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future! β
"Who is going to be the daughter-in-law of the little night? It's not, it's not! Xiao Ling clapped his hands desperately, but he couldn't hide the blush on his face.
"Yes, yes!" The young woman covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile, thinking that it was good to be young!
"The young master is back!" An old figure swept the ground at the door of the house, and saw Wu Yele running home from a distance. If someone takes a closer look at the old man sweeping the floor now, they will find that he has no feet, but floats directly in the air like a ghost.
However, Wu Ye didn't react to this at all, and called politely: "Fu Bo, it's not your era now, don't call me young master, now young masters are rich people, local tyrants, and rich second generations." β
Fu Bo said with a frightened face: "Young master, you can't be a local tyrant, otherwise you will be dragged to criticize." β
"Haha, Fauber, that's not what I mean, eh, don't say it, I'll go find my mother first."
"Oh, okay, the big lady is there." Fauber pointed to a small house.
"Well, I'm leaving, Fauber." Wu Ye came and walked as fast as he could, and disappeared in front of Fu Bo in one fell swoop.
In a nice little room, there is a photo of a man and a woman hanging on the wall, and there is also a family portrait on the table, but this is a family portrait of a family of three.
"Mom, you see I'm going to college." Wu Ye waved the admission letter in her hand, and a woman in her thirties and forties put down her work and looked at Wu Ye.
She smiled and said, "I know that you can do it, and I don't see whose son it is." β
"That's a must!"
"But be careful when you're out and about, and your abilities can't be used casually, you know? And "
"Got it, Mom, these grandma and grandpa have told me several times, and my ears are almost calloused."
"It's good to know, let's go, it's almost time to eat, and after eating, you're almost going to leave tomorrow. Remember"
"Remember to be careful, you know." Wu Ye pushed his mother and walked in the direction of the restaurant
In a room that resembled a dining hall, there were three tables full of people, including the one-eyed monster who had been in the kitchen, and also Fauber, as well as many monsters of different appearances, some like spiders, with eight legs, and some with hair like an orangutan. It's more of a ghost floating like a translucent body.
If a normal person was here, he would have been scared half to death, but for Wu Ye, this was just a daily routine.
That's right, these people in Wu Ye's family are either monsters in the mountains or ghosts in the cemetery in the county. Wu Yejia is actually a ghost subduer, which was created by his grandfather, originally his grandfather was a master in a certain sect, but he fell in love with the female ghost in the target once, and then there was no then.
Because the specific thing is that grandpa has never told them, in short, the female ghost has become Wu Ye's grandmother. So Wu Ye's father also became a half-human and half-ghost, just when his father was young, his grandfather suddenly thought of the name ghost subduer, so the family inexplicably became a ghost subduer.
Although grandpa left his own sect, he still took it as his mission to eliminate demons and defend the way, so once there was any supernatural event around him, grandpa would help, until three years ago, after Wu Ye's father left, everything changed.
But why are there so many ghosts in Wu Ye's house? Because the descent of the ghost subjugator is the "descent" of "advent" is not the "descent" of "surrender", they all let the ghost descend on their own body to fight against other ghosts, and their family believes that ghosts are the same as people, there are good and bad, just like this world, yin and yang, sun and moon, heaven and earth, are all relative.
The dinner was still eaten noisily as usual, the only difference was that the grandfather happily drank a few glasses of wine, and asked Wu Ye to look for him on the roof at night
At the appointed time, Wu Ye climbed up to the roof along the ladder on the wall, a man wearing a long robe, the corners of his clothes fluttering with the evening breeze, like an immortal with a lofty instrument.
"Little night, look at the lights here." Grandpa knew that Wu Ye was coming without looking at it, and casually pointed to his yard, "This is your root, and it is also your home, if you can't stand the wind and rain outside, come back, home will always be your best haven." β
"Well, I know, but I'll stick to it, I want to look outside." Wu Ye stretched out his hand into the distance, and then clenched his fist, as if to grasp something.
"It's up to you, but you still have to be careful, you have good abilities and good brains, but you're too naughty, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?" Grandpa shook his head and said.
"Grandpa, do you want to speak so seriously, can't you do it as usual?" Wu Ye's face suddenly changed from serious to very casual, and he sat on the roof with his buttocks.
"Do you kid understand, a master is a master like this."
"A master doesn't have to stand on a high place! Yes! Grandpa directly hit Wu Ye's head, and he screamed in pain.
"Are you sure you don't want to bring the Wind Spirit with you? She's also your fiancΓ©e. β
"What kind of unmarried ghost wife, isn't it your rule to marry a human and a ghost as a wife?" Then he gave Wu Ye's head another time.
"The family motto is unbreakable, don't say you forgot it, and you and Feng Ling aren't bad, she's quite sensible!"
"I know, I know, I just want to experience a new life."
"It's good to understand, then I'll go first, and be careful outside in the future!" After saying that, he walked to the side.
"Eh, grandpa, there's no ladder over there."
Bang, "Ah, you kid didn't say it earlier, you fell to death my old bones." Immediately, there was a grandfather's scolding from below, but Wu Ye didn't care, he knew that his grandfather's strength was unfathomable.
Wu Ye slowly lay down, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but think.
Tomorrow is a new life, a new beginning!
