Chapter 3: The Ghost Fighter
"Ziran, hurry up, the dishes will be cold in a while." The sound of a woman's urging was heard again in the kitchen.
"Hey! Here it is, here it is. Gong Ziran put down the oil pen, opened the door and walked out.
There was still a little fume in the not spacious kitchen, my mother was still busy, and my father was sitting at the dining table shirtless. This scene is so warm in Gong Ziran's eyes, but this warmth can't last forever, and the child will eventually leave his parents when he grows up.
The family no longer lives in the same place, and bought a house the year before last, although it is still old, but there are always two rooms, and there is no need to sleep with my parents.
Dad's name is Gong Zheng, who is honest and honest, and is one of the few people in the company who does not have a nickname. In the countryside, the villagers and parents are short, and they gossip when they are full. There are countless nicknames of all kinds, like cool and bright cheeks, big trouser pockets, eight old urine, dog leftovers, then there are too many.
The older generation has little knowledge in naming names, but I remember that there was a classmate in junior high school whose father was called "Yang Wei (impotence)" Dawei. When the name was taken, there was no word impotence, and it was originally a good name, but with the changes of the times, the meaning has changed.
Regarding these, Gong Ziran was noncommittal. The name is a code name, and it is whatever it is when it is born, and if you change it halfway, it feels like it is not yourself. In case the name is suddenly changed and the underworld does not get the news, the black and white impermanence will be troublesome if the spirit conjuring is wrong. However, this is all his personal opinion, and he doesn't know what the working procedures of the underworld are.
Gong Ziran moved the stool and sat down.
Braised pork, sautéed silkworm pupa, stewed vermicelli with pork ribs...... The table full of dishes whetted his appetite. It's usually rare to see meat at home, and today's scene is destined to be a special day.
"Ziran, you're leaving tomorrow, let's have two drinks tonight." Gong is good at opening two bottles of beer, one of which is placed in front of Gong Ziran.
Gong Ziran was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Which one is this singing today, Dad?"
You must know that Gong Ziran's family education has always been very strict, and her father and mother are also very traditional. Several prohibitions were issued from the time he was a child:
First, it is forbidden to steal other people's things.
Second, it is not allowed to swim in large rivers.
Third, it is forbidden to drink alcohol.
Fourth, it is not allowed to engage in objects.
Later, science and technology developed, and a fifth, it was not allowed to go to Internet cafes to play games.
The first one was useless when he was very young, and since he was sensible, he wouldn't do such a thing as stealing, even if someone was on guard.
The second went to swim in the river, and when he went there secretly, he was caught and punished for kneeling for an afternoon. Later, the river water was so polluted that it was as dirty as a stinky ditch, and this one had no practical effect.
The third, fourth, and fifth are the ones that have continued until now, and once they are violated, the consequences are very serious.
"Dad actually let me drink, does it mean that I have grown up and can lift the ban?" Gong Ziran felt a burst of excitement in her heart.
In fact, drinking, playing games on the Internet, he secretly went there many times when he was in high school, and only the article of having a girlfriend has not been broken.
Drinking and playing games are only occasional, and engaging in objects does affect learning, and it is not good to be known, which he still knows in his heart.
Even so, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Mom, come over and eat, and the kitchen will be cleaned up later." Gong Ziran picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
"I'm done right away." My mother threw the rag into the water and sat down.
Grandpa passed away five years ago, and now the whole family is here.
"Ziran, you must pay attention to safety when you go to school tomorrow to take the train, and call home when you get there." Gong Yan took a sip of wine and admonished.
"Got it, Dad. I'm not a kid anymore, so what's the danger. Gong Ziran said.
"Just in case, you haven't been out and don't know the dangers in society, there are a lot of thieves at the train station." Gong said solemnly.
"Yes, I'll take care of it." Gong Ziran nodded seriously, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "If any thief touches me, he will be unlucky."
"Okay, don't scare your son. Ziran, don't be fooled when you go there to eat, don't be reluctant to spend money, the family is much more prosperous now than in previous years. "Mom took a piece of meat and put it in Gong Ziran's bowl.
"Well, you second elder also have to take care of yourself."
The meal was very happy, the family chatted while eating, and my mother was always relieved.
……
The northern sky is so clear.
At night, the full moon gradually rises, and the bright stars decorate the entire night sky.
The breeze blows, refreshing the mind. Gong Ziran sat on the windowsill with a strange knot on his hand.
If there is a master here, you will find that there are traces of light around Gong Ziran slowly converging towards the center of his eyebrows.
After the white-bearded old man rescued him, he tattooed a skeleton tattoo on his left wrist, saying that he was a ghost fighter, and left him a yellowed ancient book, which recorded various theories of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and some spells.
In addition, when he left, he also taught him a set of methods for cultivating the soul, which Gong Ziran's parents did not know. The strange knot on his hand is only regarded by others as his habitual action.
"That white-bearded old man's secret method is really magical." Gong Ziran closed his eyes, and the environment within a meter of his body clearly came to mind, and even the organs in his body could be seen, "I don't need to take X-rays when I'm sick now." It's just that the cultivation is too slow, and it has been more than ten years before this effect is achieved. ”
If the white-bearded old man knew that he was thinking like this, he probably had a crooked nose.
Since obtaining this set of secret methods, Gong Ziran has been practicing diligently every day, using all the time he can use. He didn't want what happened thirteen years ago to happen again, and he was determined that if he encountered that monster again, he would have to dismantle it in sixteen pieces.
At noon the next day, Gong Ziran stepped on the train from Jilin to Guangdong. After two days of travel, I finally came to D City, Guangdong Province.
As soon as he got off the train, Gong Ziran felt as if he was in a furnace.
"It's fucking hot, you don't need to add water to the shower, it's hot and damp." Gong Ziran carried a backpack and walked out with the flow of people.
As soon as he got out of the exit of the train station, he saw a chubby girl walking towards him, and she looked quite cute.
Before he could react to what was going on, he saw the girl put her hand directly on his shoulder, and at the same time exhaled delicately: "Liang Zai!"
"What's the situation?" Gong Ziran was shocked in his heart, and suddenly goosebumps rose all over his body, and he fled in a hurry without daring to say anything.
I want him to fight wolves in the south and drive tigers in the north mountains, and he has even seen more than one female ghost, but he has never encountered this kind of thing.
Gong Ziran turned around and secretly looked, and when the girl saw him like this, she actually laughed out loud.
"Oh my God! I heard about the opening up of Southern Girls before I came, which is too ......"
"Oh, it won't be a chicken............ Right? Gong Ziran suddenly realized, as if he understood something.
In a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but look back, and found that the girl actually dragged a yellow-haired foreigner away, ", this chicken is quite cultured." ”
At this time, a taxi came on, and Gong Ziran waved his hand to stop it.
"How much does it cost to go to TJ University Chinese Wai University?" Gong Ziran didn't get into the car, and planned to ask the price first.
"Eighty." The driver glanced at the backpack on Gong Ziran's body, intending to slaughter it.
"Eighty? So much? Gong Ziran closed the car door.
"If you are alone, I will charge you fifty." Seeing that Gong Ziran was leaving, the driver hurriedly poked his head out of the window and shouted.
"Don't sit, don't sit." Gong Ziran waved his hand and walked away without looking back.
"You come up first, the price is negotiable." The driver actually drove after him.
"Damn, it can't be a black car, right?" Gong Ziran said secretly, and looked at the license plate carefully, "It's not like it." ”
Seeing that the driver still didn't give up, Gong Ziran said helplessly: "I don't have any money."
When the driver heard this, he pouted and drove away with a curse.
"Fifty? Kill me. It's only past eight o'clock in the morning, and it's still early. Gong Ziran took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and then walked straight to a small kiosk selling magazines in the distance.
