Later, when my grandfather was six years old, Zhao Xianyun died of illness, and the time I happened to accompany my grandfather was only seven years

At that time, Luo Buzhai recalled the dream that Zhao Xianyun said inadvertently in the evening, and only then did he know the meaning of the seven jujube cores. From this, he thought of "seven jujube cores", "jujube" is homophonic to Zhao Xianyun's "Zhao", and "core" is a seed, representing the child who left his father. But he didn't understand what the meaning of the woman who couldn't see her face clearly by Zhao Xianyun's dream with her father in her dream.

And before and after Zhao Xianyun's dream, his grandfather was dormant in a small town inhabited by Manchus between Shenyang and Fushun. Due to the continuous rain and the slippery road, my father could not continue to Fushun as planned.

One morning, Grandpa got up as usual. For the sake of prudence, after my father arrived in Shenyang, he had to close the curtains every night before going to bed.

Daddy opened the curtains to see if it was sunny outside.

As soon as the curtain opened, Grandpa was startled by the scene in front of him!

On the windowsill outside, the glass was littered with tiny paper figurines! The little paper figure is cut out of yellow table paper, with a nose and eyes, and all facial features!

Daddy opened the window and tore the paper figure off the glass. Although these paper figures are more delicate than Xiaomi's previous cuts, my grandfather still recognizes the shadow of Xiaomi's paper-cutting. When the millet paper-cutting person is easy to cut the neck very short and the legs very long. The raw edges are gone, the nose and eyes are gone, but this shortcoming has not changed.

A large number of paper figures fell on the windowsill and glass, as if the leaves of a tree in front of the window had been blown off by the autumn wind last night.

It is not difficult for the leaves to fall from the trees to the windowsills and glass, but it is not easy for the paper people to come to this town, how many forests and plains they have to cross, how many rivers and streams they have to float through, and how many people, cattle, horses and sheep can avoid before they can come here and come to Grandpa's window!

Grandpa remembered what Helian Tian had said, and knew that these paper figures were driven by Xiaomi's unintentionality. Helian Tian was already surprised that the paper man had sneaked into the dog meat restaurant, and if he knew that the paper man could still come here, he would definitely be stunned!

Grandpa didn't know, Helian Tian was unbelievably surprised because of Millet and her white night, even if he could see the scene in front of his father's eyes, I'm afraid he would feel nothing big now.

Grandpa carefully tore off the paper figures on the windowsill and glass one by one, for fear that they would be torn a little bit. He then lowered the paper figures into the house and let them dry slowly.

The rain outside was much lighter, but it was still pouring down. There was not a single pedestrian on the street outside, and it was darker and evening.

This rain is very similar to the rain in my hometown in the south.

Grandpa couldn't help but think of the relatives in Thrush Village, Zhao Xianyun, the child, Luo Buzhai and Yu Youyang. He didn't know what the weather was like in Thrush Village at this time, and he didn't know how the people in Thrush Village were doing.

He looked up at the bamboo slippers who were still sleeping on the beams, and felt a little better. He took out his cigarette, lit it, took a soft puff, and slowly exhaled it.

Smelling the scent of the cigarette, Takeko immediately opened her eyes and took a big gulp.

Grandpa said to the bamboo slipper: "You hurry up and cultivate, if you cultivate slowly, be careful that the white night of millet eats you!" ”

The bamboo slipper didn't care about his father, and the hexagram sucked happily.

Xiaomi's White Night is indeed much more diligent, but its fire is also much more than that of the bamboo slipper.

After Bai Ye defeated Mr. Bai and Mr. Night, it became more isolated and independent among the kitten ghosts.

Xiaomi is worried that after Bai Ye returns to the dog meat restaurant, he will be forced by other cat ghosts to admit defeat and admit his mistakes.

Helian Tian comforted: "The strongest among the cat ghosts doesn't have to admit defeat and admit mistakes. Admitting defeat and admitting mistakes has always been a means of evasion chosen by the weak to avoid harsher punishments. It's a pity that Mr. Bai's strength and Mr. Ye's strength have been greatly weakened. ”

Xiaomi asked in surprise: "Bai Ye just pushed Mr. Ye down and scratched Mr. Bai's face, without hurting his muscles and bones, how could Mr. Bai Ye's strength be greatly weakened?" ”

Helian Tian smiled bitterly: "Cat ghosts pay attention to a momentum like people. If the momentum is strong, the strength will be strong; If the momentum is weak, the strength is also weak. In the past, Mr. Bai and Mr. Ye had an absolute status, and he was much better than other cats and ghosts in terms of momentum, and before he started the competition, he might have overwhelmed the other party in terms of momentum. Just like in our society, when a shabby-dressed person meets a person in an official uniform, the former involuntarily bends his knees to the latter, while the latter speaks to the former with a much louder voice. ”

Millet said: "Why do people in shabby clothes bend over their knees? Actually, it's not necessary! ”

Helian Tiandao: "But the reality is like this." Mr. Bai used to be majestic and powerful, but now he was suddenly defeated by Bai Ye, and his momentum was greatly damaged, which in turn affected its strength. ”

After dinner, Millet took Bai Ye to the mass grave again.

When Millet arrived at the mass grave, he saw that the old man was already waiting there.

When the old man saw that Millet was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Millet: "Two people will come here later, and you can let your tiger eat the souls of those two people." ”

Millet asked, "Two people?" Are you going to kill two people? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm going to kill them, it's that they're going to kill me." ”

Millet asked, "What did they kill you for?" ”

The old man said, "Because I am a human spirit." ”

Xiaomi remembered Heliantian's words when he talked about human spirits, and thought that what Heliantian said was indeed true. It turns out that there are indeed many people to chase and kill.

"If they do want to kill you, I'll let White Night help you." Xiaomi thought to himself, just because Renjing is an old man, he has to help him, not to mention that he has taught Bai Ye so many things.

After a while, two people found the mass grave.

Taking a closer look, Xiaomi found that the two people who came here were actually foreigners! The two foreigners were dressed in missionary clothing. Xiaomi didn't see many foreigners, and I couldn't tell which country they came from. Millet is not familiar with the religion of foreigners, and does not know what sect they belong to.

Both foreigners had a metal cross in their hands and knives on their waists.

As soon as the foreigners saw the old man, they drank in non-standard Chinese: "Vampires!" Finally let us find you! ”

Xiaomi was stunned, how can foreigners call people to be vampires?

The old man snorted and said, "I deliberately let you find it." If I don't want you to find me, you can't find me. ”

A foreigner reminded another foreigner: "He said that he deliberately let us find it, is there a trap here?" ”

Another foreigner smiled: "There is an old man, a little girl, and a little cat here, what kind of trap can there be?" We managed to find his traces, and now we must catch him and bring him back to claim his reward! He'll be the first Chinese vampire we'll find! ”

Millet remembers that her grandfather told her when she was in Thrush Village that now that foreign powers are bombarding our country with foreign guns and cannons, there is another special group of people who have poured in, and that is the missionaries. Some of the foreign missionaries were truly religious, but they believed in different things. There are also foreign missionaries who are not authentic religious people, but want to open the mysterious door of China and infiltrate another world that coexists on this land.

On the way after leaving Thrush Village, my grandfather told Xiaomi that if he saw a foreign missionary bullying the local people, he must draw a knife to help him.

But Xiaomi doesn't know what the strength of the foreign missionaries is, and whether the white night is enough to deal with them. Xiaomi was a little hesitant.

The foreigner smiled lewdly: "You're right! How much power can an old man, a child, and a cat have? After arresting the old vampire...... Hey...... This little girl is good-looking, I haven't tried a Chinese woman, especially such a small woman......"

The other foreigner also laughed lewdly, and gradually approached the old man and Xiaomi.

"Don't come here! Otherwise, you're welcome! Millet shouted.

A foreigner imitated Xiaomi's voice and shouted: "It's better to be obedient, otherwise I'm welcome!" With that, he pulled out the knife from his waist and brandished the cross in one hand and the knife with a cold light in the other.

Xiaomi anxiously asked the old man: "You are so powerful, why don't you make a move?" ”

The old man shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I have told you many times that I am a human spirit and I cannot be exposed. After I kill both of them, many people will find out about my whereabouts, and more people will come looking for me. Now it's up to you to save me. ”

"Why do they call you a vampire?" Xiaomi asked. She took a few steps back, closing the distance between her and the foreign missionaries.

The old man said: "They know that I have exceeded the maximum limit of human lifespan, and they think that I am sucking other people's blood to keep myself alive. Their kingdom has a legend of this ghost, so they think I'm a vampire on our side. ”

"Haven't you been hiding well? How could they know about it? ”

The old man said: "I am a human being after all, and if I have to deal with people, I will inevitably leak some rumors." There are many people who betray the country, and those who betray me will naturally not be without it. Neither of them is my opponent, but I can't kill them, killing them will attract more people who want to get the bounty of foreigners. If you kill them, people outside will think you're threatened to kill them. ”

"You're very thoughtful."

"That's necessary, I'm a human spirit."

"But I don't want the White Night to kill. I told it at noon today, we can't hurt people indiscriminately. Xiaomi said.

The old man said, "You promised to show me the way." If I die, or am caught by these two foreigners, how will you show me the way? ”

"You're a human being!" Millet said indignantly. She doesn't like the feeling of being blackmailed.

"Well, I just said it, I am."

The foreigner interrupted them and said, "Pretty girl, be good, or my knife will make you regret it!" ”

Another foreigner took the opportunity to suddenly make a move and stabbed Xiaomi with a knife.

Millet screamed and ducked back.
