On the evening of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Aunt Xue made a table of dishes, which looks like. I'm going to see the two of us off.

Xue Qian raised a glass of wine and said to me, "Lao Zhao, you drink this cup and go on your way." ”

I snorted, "You're on the road." ”

Xue Qian drank the wine with a smile, and then said, "What's the hurry, it's non-toxic." ”

I turned my head to look at Mr. Lu and asked, "You say, how are we going to get on the road in a while?" Do you take a horse-drawn carriage, or do you make a car? ”

Mr. Lu poured himself a drink: "What are you talking about?" What are you doing in a carriage? ”

I said, "Last time I was kidnapped by that woman and took me to Anle Temple, I was in a papier-mâché carriage. Along the way, the wind was fast. Overnight, I don't know how many miles I walked. ”

Xue Qian said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, if you want to take a car, I will burn it to you." ”

Aunt Xue glared at him and said, "Shut up." ”

Mr. Lu did not speak. Just eating.

I couldn't help but ask again, "Guess what, what is that test?" After we are taken away by the people in the empty house, will I be asked to complete any tasks? Walk the iron plate and cross the knife mountain. If you can't hold on, slap it to death. If you grit your teeth and stick to it, you will let us go? ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "I haven't been there again." I don't know? ”

I said with some disappointment: "Mr. Lu, you have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, you have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, it is good for you to help me pat and deduce." ”

Mr. Lu said helplessly: "I can't deduce." Do you think I am a living immortal? ”

Xue Qian suddenly asked me next to me: "Lao Zhao, do you know why ancient prisoners drank alcohol when they were about to go to the execution ground?" ”

I thought to myself: What do you mean kid? Treat me like a death row inmate?

But I couldn't help it, and I asked, "Why do you want to drink?" ”

Xue Qian poured me a full glass. said: "If you drink alcohol, it won't hurt when you cut off your head." I am not afraid of death. ”

I said angrily, "You have to cut off your head." ”

Xue Qian waved her hand and said, "You didn't understand what I meant. I see that you are so scared now, it is better to drink with us for a while, have a drunken rest, and when you wake up, you can catch ghosts if you want to catch ghosts, and test if you want to test. Don't be so scared now. ”

Before I could speak, Mr. Lu raised his glass first and said, "That's right. That's how it goes. Come, let's get drunk today. ”

Next, Mr. Lu and Xue Qian, the three of us pushed the glass and changed the glass, and kept drinking. And Aunt Xue looked at us coldly from the side.

I think Aunt Xue is also a strange woman. When her son opened a health care store, she was not angry, but seemed to be very supportive. Now that Xue Qian is openly drinking in front of her, she doesn't care. I couldn't help but sigh, Xue Qian was so comfortable.

Once a person drinks too much, there is no door to his mouth. I thought so in my heart, and it came out of my mouth naturally.

Aunt Xue just smiled after hearing this, but did not speak. And Xue Qian said with a big tongue: "Lao Zhao, do you know why my mother doesn't care about me?" ”

Then, without waiting for me to answer, he suddenly cried bitterly on the table: "Do you know how miserable I was when I was a child? I can't go out on weekdays, stay at home all day, burn incense and worship Buddha today, and ask God to catch ghosts tomorrow. I can't eat and drink indiscriminately, I can't talk to strangers until I go to college and get to know you. Our family saw a glimmer of hope. Lao Zhao, if it weren't for you, I would have been taken away by the Yin Ghost Woman. You are my savior. ”

Xue Qian said excitedly, and actually wanted to kneel down for me.

Although I was a little confused at this time, I was not so confused that I began to think in my heart: "Filial piety kowtows to me, and I will not be in vain." So I waited in my chair with a grin. said hypocritically in his mouth: "Lao Xue, you are so polite, flat, flat." ”

However, a few of us were drunk, but Aunt Xue was not drunk. She pulled Xue Qian up and scolded, "Don't be embarrassed here." ”

Xue Qian was dragged to the chair, still muttering quietly: "So, my mother feels sorry for me in her heart, as long as I don't do anything hurtful, I will turn a blind eye and pass." ”

Aunt Xue scolded with a smile: "You quite understand it in your heart. ”

Then we drank for a while, until I felt a little dizzy in my head, as if someone had inflated my head, and it was a little swollen.

Suddenly, the alarm clock on the coffee table rang violently, and twelve o'clock arrived.

If this sound had sounded before, I would have been scared to pee my pants. But now it's different, I'm getting drunk and almost unconscious.

I took my glass, walked to the window, looked at the leaves on the tree, and said, "Huh? Why didn't the leaves fall? ”

Mr. Lu stood behind me and said strangely, "Did we calculate the wrong day?" ”

We looked at each other and said with a grin, "Maybe the person in the empty house has miscalculated the day." ”

This is absurd, but under the influence of alcohol, we feel very promising.

That night, the two of us simply stood on the edge of the bed, drinking and admiring the poplars outside.

I pointed to the lush leaves and said, "People in the empty house, the thunder is loud and the rain is small." ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Yes, it's like a fart." ”

I pushed open the window and shouted loudly outside: "Lao Tzu is here, do you have the ability to arrest me?" ”

Mr. Lu stopped me: "Zhao Mang, you are too flamboyant, not good, and you seem to be a bully." Then, he shouted in a louder voice than me: "Lu Laodao is here, who dares to be presumptuous?" ”

The two of us yelled for a while, and the cold wind outside the window blew up, and the wine that had been drunk all night was a little upsurged.

I took two steps back and said to Mr. Lu, "No, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

Mr. Lu casually closed the window and said, "Zhao Mang, you are really bad. ”

I fumbled my way back to the couch, then slowly lay down and closed my eyes.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed, "It's better to lie down, it's so comfortable." ”

It only took a few minutes before my consciousness was cut off. Then he fell asleep groggily.

When I woke up again, the sun outside was shining on my face. I slowly got up, my head aching from the wine, and my stomach felt like I had eaten an iron nail.

I sat on the couch and sighed, "Why is it so uncomfortable?" Never drink again. ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I don't drink anymore." ”

I saw that his eyes were red, and he had just gotten up from the couch.

When I saw Mr. Lu, my brain suddenly stirred and I asked, "What time is it today?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "On the ninth day of September, what's wrong? ”

I said, "It's the Chung Yeung Festival today, let's ...... the two of us."

Mr. Lu had a lucky expression on his face: "The people in the empty house seem to have forgotten about you." Hehe, Zhao Mang, they don't seem to take you, the true dragon emperor, seriously. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They'd better forget about me." ”

Mr. Lu stretched, then walked to the bed, he glanced outside, then leaned and fell to the ground. Stupid demon carrying.

I was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mr. Lu looked panicked and ran over. Grabbing my big knife, he cried out in panic: "Leaves, leaves." ”

I felt a flutter in my heart and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the leaves?" ”

Mr. Lu breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and then said dignifiedly: "Zhao Mang, don't be surprised, I didn't wake up from a hangover, and I was a little panicked just now." He pretended to be calm, and I panicked even more. ”

I stood up and walked to the window. It looked like it was snowing outside. One after another. It's just that instead of snow, leaves fall from the sky.

Some of the fallen leaves were yellow, some were still green, and they fell to the ground, some were trampled into the dirt, some were swept into small piles, and the smoke was lit.

I whispered, "Mr. Lu, do you say these leaves will grow back?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head slowly: "Why did these leaves fall during the day?" ”

I pointed to the pedestrians on the street and said, "Mr. Lu, there are still pedestrians on the street." The two of us are still in this world. ”
