Verse 23: New Year's greetings, ghost worship
I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. @151% look (book^net>?
In fact, according to custom, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you should keep a vigil, and you can't sleep all night.
Not being able to sleep does not mean that you don't want to sleep, so the more traditional way of keeping vigil is to sit in the house and roast the fire, which means that in the new year, the days will be prosperous, and because of this, there has been a saying in my hometown: Chinese New Year's Eve roasts wood, the more you bake, the more you get rich, and motivates everyone not to sleep.
In addition, there is a saying that the reason for the vigil is because there is a "year" beast appearing, if the family goes to bed early, the "year" beast will come to this house to listen to the whole family, but if someone does not sleep, the "year" beast will not dare to be presumptuous.
When I was a child, I was scared to sleep all night because of this story.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if the family gathers around the fire, talking and laughing for a night, it is also very pleasant, but when I was a child, I just didn't understand it, and I felt very boring, and now I am lying in bed, but I can't help but miss this scene.
Are all people like that? When you have it, you don't know how to cherish it, and when you lose it, you remember to have it.
However, with the development of society, this custom still exists, but everyone knows that the statement about the year beast is a lie.
Thinking about it, I heard Xiao Hei's snoring.
This guy sleeps so fast.
But its drowsiness soon spread to me, and after a while, I closed my eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the first day of junior high school, and I walked to the window to see that the snow had stopped.
However, I always feel that this house is a little weird, as for the weirdness, I can't remember it for a while, until I walked out of this house, my mind instantly turned a circle, that is, I remember that I live in 302, when did I come to Jiang Na's community again?
The complex was empty.
I walked out onto the road, which was still empty except for the entire road covered in snow.
I was thinking about where everyone had gone, when I suddenly heard someone call me Zhao Dalong!
I wanted to say, "Please call me Zilongshi!" But I found that there was still no one around.
Who called me?
I couldn't help but feel a tension in my heart, and it came again.
Following the sound, I came to the alley.
The hostess is still selling wine, but only one customer.
Looking at the back, I couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly went up and sat in front of him, and said, "Immortal Chief, you called me just now?" ”
He glanced at me, stroked his beard and said, "It seems that you are not confused! ”
Immortal Chief, you didn't pass on anything to me last time, so it won't be like that again this time, right?
"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." He couldn't help laughing and said, "Even if I don't pass on anything to you, can't I talk to you?" Besides, do you understand what I said to you? ”
"That sentence? Which sentence? I don't remember what spell you told me, the mind? I hurriedly said, "Immortal Chief, we can't joke around. ”
He said: "You kid, you don't understand what I said a little bit of cumbersomeness, and I don't know if you are really stupid, or you don't want to use your brain, it is opened by forty-two eyes, starting from the first willow branch hand and eye, all born by chance, created and opened!" ”
Oh, you say this, I understand. I say
Now that you know, what else do you ask me to do? He asked rhetorically.
I was speechless for a while, forget it, I didn't ask him about this, so I changed the subject: "Immortal Chief, I want to ask you something, is it okay?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Black has five tails now, and he's getting bigger, do you think he'll one day be so powerful that we can't control it?"
Zhang Tianshi said, but he took a sip of wine and said very flatly: "Let it be, what should come will come after all." ”
He said it so vaguely that I said, "In this case, I will let my hands and eyes do it as soon as possible, and I will never let Xiao Hei leave me." ”
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said, "Don't think about anything, just remember your turtle shell." ”
After speaking, he sat up from the table and staggered out of the alley, while chanting: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls contain amber light, but the master can get drunk, I don't know where it is!" ”
As he walked away, the scene in front of me slowly blurred, and suddenly I heard the sound of firecrackers, and I hurriedly woke up and walked to the window, where the snow outside still did not stop.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the day to start the New Year's greetings.
I picked up my phone and saw that there was a call from Ye Zixuan who didn't know when.
I immediately dialed it, and this time Ye Zixuan finally answered.
I asked him what was going on last night.
Ye Zixuan said lightly: "There is no show, sitting on the roof of the building and blowing the wind." ”
"On such a cold day, you sit on the roof of the building and blow the wind?"
"Don't be afraid, there is wine to warm up."
"You're not afraid of falling?" Ye Zixuan said: "My life is big, I can't die if I fall, how were you last night?" Have you lived with Blackie? ”
"No, I was a witness last night, although it didn't work out in the end." Speaking of which, I told Ye Zixuan about last night's incident.
After hearing this, Ye Zixuan said: "If Zhong Zhengnan is really sincere, then bless him too." ”
"By the way, I want to ask you something, I received a piece of paper, and that person knows me, but I don't know who he is. I'll show you the hair. “
Ye Zixuan said: "Well, yes, do you have any programs for the New Year?" ”
"Me? No show, wandering, what about you? ”
"The third day of the Lunar New Year is the traditional Provincial Ghost Day, and I plan to go back to my hometown to go to the graves of my parents and grandparents."
"Didn't your grandmother say that your parents are not dead? Why are you still going to his grave? ”
"I can't find my cranes, so I think they're dead." Ye Zixuan said.
"Your paper crane sometimes fails, do you remember the last time in Wangjiazhuang, when your paper crane was looking for power, didn't you also find it, and self-destructed?"
"That's right, it didn't find the tree, but that doesn't mean that Quanzi isn't dead." Ye Zixuan sighed: "I also want them to live, but at present, the chances of them being alive are very small." ”
Then I said two more greetings, nothing more than some words of blessing, and hung up after speaking, and then I remembered the king of Kuixing, so I turned on the computer and left him a few words of blessing, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished posting, I saw him return: "Brother Zilong, you are good, Happy New Year, how are you doing?" ”
"Generally speaking, I just dealt with one thing, that is, there are some unjust souls from 1938 at the entrance of the garden, which are said to have been refined by the Japanese Onmyoji, and now the descendants of the Onmyoji want to take away these unjust souls."
"Oh? Did Onmyoji take it away? ”
"With me here, how could he take it?" I sent a laughing emoji.
"Brother Zilong, you have really made great progress now."
"Brother Kui is polite, Brother Ye said that this incident was a sign of chaos before Wu Zetian's innocence dragon appeared, and I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to ask you something else, there is a mysterious person who has been spying on me recently, and he left a message with me that day, I don't know if it will be you?"
The King of Kuixing returned at that time: "This person is not me, please don't guess Brother Zilong." ”
After the King of Stars confirmed it, I didn't continue to ask.
At noon, Jiang Na also called me to greet the New Year and asked me how I spent Chinese New Year's Eve, so I briefly said that it was a charter wife.
Jiang Na said that they were in the police department.
After a few polite words, I didn't know what to say anymore, maybe I didn't have much to say with her, if it wasn't for the connection of each case, maybe there would be nothing to say at all.
When I thought of this, I said, Happy New Year.
Jiang Na said: "Happy New Year, see you on the eighth day of the new year, get ready to go to work, don't forget!" ”
------
When I walked out of the door that afternoon, I wanted to knock on Jiao'er's door, but after thinking about it, I didn't knock in the end.
After the second year of junior high school, it was the third year of junior high school.
On the third day of the first month, the Provincial Ghost Festival, this day is similar to the July Half Ghost Festival, as well as the Qingming Festival, which is a day to worship the ancestors.
Early in the morning, firecrackers were set off, and paper money was burned in the middle of the road.
I hung out for a day, and when I thought about how hungry I was, I shook back.
It's getting late.
Looking at this street with the naked eye, there are not many people, but in the eyes of the hands, I found that this street is not lonely, it is those dark shadows who bend down back and forth to pick up money.
I understood who they were, didn't dare to look any further, tightened my clothes, and hurried back.
As the saying goes, snow is not cold, snow is cold, snow turns snow during the day, and it is even colder at night.
Some of the burned paper money was especially glaring on the snow-white ground, and I passed by them, pretending not to see them, but when the wind blew in my face, I felt as if they had caught me.
Walking, walking, all of a sudden, I felt footsteps behind me, and the sound was the creaking sound of the soles of my feet stepping on the snow, and I turned around, and there was no one.
I was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward, but I walked, he walked, I walked slowly, he walked slowly, I stopped, he stopped.
At that time, my heart was beating out of my mouth, and I hurriedly recited the willow branches' hands and eyes, but then I realized that it was me who scared myself.
I couldn't help but let out a long breath and continued to walk forward.
But the footsteps started again, and this time I was sure it wasn't me.
I hurriedly turned around, and this time I finally saw the other party clearly, it was the ** female corpse.
Little by little, she walked towards me, still holding the paper money she had picked up. I couldn't help but back away and hurriedly asked her, "What's your name?" ”
As soon as she spoke, another huge hand suddenly appeared from behind her and snatched him away like an eagle catching a chicken.
That hand, it's not scary, it's scary, it's only hand.
Grass his grandmother's, it's still the New Year's time, can't you stop it?
I turned around and ran like 302, came to 302 in one breath, and then closed the door, then leaned against the door, gasping for air.
Seeing that I was nervous, Xiao Hei couldn't help jumping out of the nest and looking at me.
I took a deep breath, and suddenly found that there was still a person squatting next to Xiao Hei's nest.
Nima!
The man slowly stood up, it was Du Wei.
"Du Wei, what's wrong with you?" I asked, trying not to knot my tongue.
He bit his finger and wrote on the ground: "Get out of this building!" "151 Kanshu.com .
