The sacrificial ceremony is quite grand, the big animals are boiled into oil and bright and placed on the back garden for the table, the rich Yanyu Pavilion even spent money to build a small dragon shrine, black tiles and white walls, very elegant, thanks to my nonsense blessing, I am known as the dragon god messenger, simply to be held to the sky by everyone, the treatment is unprecedentedly good, although I have been sent supper for several years, now everyone sees me send supper, all of them can't help but emerge a flattered expression, and then proudly said to the guests that these are specially sent by the dragon god messenger yo~The guest officers were also surprised and delighted, feeling that the food was not made by Mei Er, but rewarded by the dragon god.

Autumn passed, and the weather was cold very quickly, and finally it was October when the dew turned to frost.

In October, everyone began to like to eat hot jade xiaolongbao containing a bag of soup, accompanied by minced garlic vinegar sauce, a bite into it, the teeth first pierced the thin green skin like cicada wings, then touched the fresh sweet shrimp, and then a mouthful of broth sprayed into the lips and teeth, until the guests were addicted, the guests were happy, and the reward money would not be less, I was thinking about secretly saving a sum of money to make two warm clothes for my father and mother.

It was late at night when I went home this day, it was dark all around, only the red lantern of the Yanyu Pavilion shook far behind me, I was used to walking at night, I didn't feel anything, but the wind in early winter was a little blowy, I stomped my feet, quickened my pace, and decided to take a shortcut from the trail to go home, and when I went out, my father made me fried chestnuts with sugar, and I planned to eat them while they were hot.

"Ume Vegetables~"

Someone was shouting at me. I looked back and there was no one. I misheard, so I kept walking.

"Plum Vegetables~" The voice is fluttering, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women. I stopped, and looked back again, but only the yellowing grass and the willow strips that had lost their leaves were swaying in the wind, not to mention people, not a single cat or dog. The lantern of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion was staring at me behind me like the two red eyes of a monster, and I decided to hurry home, so I trotted up.

"Ume Vegetables~"

The sound was endless, and I didn't dare look back.

I turned the corner to see the door of the house, I walked this road hundreds of times, but I stopped, this, this is still the bend in the middle of the trail just now.

Help, isn't this a ghost hitting the wall? What strange thing is going to happen to me this time?

I rubbed my cold hands hard, don't panic, don't panic, grandpa said, it's the fox teasing people, by the way, try spitting, my mouth is dry, I saved a lot of strength, I spit out a mouthful of saliva, okay, rush over!

Seeing that I had turned home, I was in the middle of the trail again.

The wind was blowing, and the willow strips were shaking like whips, and I was cold and afraid, and shivered.

"Mei Cai~" I don't dare to answer this shout, who knows who shouted it? I have heard more than one or two stories of being captured by ghosts who agreed to inexplicable shouts. Amitabha Buddha Amitabha, now I really want to go home, I really want to eat fried chestnuts with sugar around the fire with my father and mother!

Suddenly a white hand reached out from the ground and grabbed my ankle, and I was so frightened that I couldn't scream, and then a head came out of the ground and smiled at me.

It was a little boy with a shaved melon skin head, a red rope tied with a small braid on his head, dark eyes, an apple face, and then his shoulders came out, his waist came out, his legs and feet came out, he let go of his hand to grab my ankle and stood up, patting the soil on his body, although it was not a cold winter wax moon dripping into ice, but it was already frosty, but he was only wearing a red belly pocket, and his face was still ruddy, as if it was not cold at all.

This seven or eight-year-old boy is not a human being.

The little boy grinned, obviously missing two front teeth: "Little sister, why are you walking so fast, melon slices me, I didn't see you answer for a long time, so I had to pull you back!" ”

Melon slices? It can't be the monster in Longjing's account book again, right? It must be how much he likes to name his monster after the tea leaves.

Seeing that I didn't answer, the little boy who called himself melon slices said, "Little sister, I'm really thirsty, give me something to drink!" He took my hand affectionately and rubbed his head against my shoulder.

Although he was very friendly, he was an anomaly after all, and I still didn't dare to agree.

Gua Pian raised his head and suddenly looked angry: "Why don't you ignore me?" ”

Forgive me~ My tongue is numb~ Who will save me~

Gua Pian continued: "I don't like people to deliberately ignore me~"

I don't know what to say.

The melon slice turned his head, suddenly opened his mouth, and said: "The young lady doesn't give the melon slices to drink, and the melon slices have to drink your blood on their own initiative~" Seeing that the bite came up, I was already as resigned to fate as a melted snowman. I was just about to close my eyes and die~ It's a pity that my father and mother will never see me again~ The melon slice suddenly seemed to be carried into the air by an invisible hand, and then disappeared.

Huh?

Long Jing didn't know where to jump out, and said to me very seriously: "I eat fried chestnuts with sugar, I want to be hot, and then I secretly hide the delicious ones, and I will watch my account book monsters eat you." ”

It turned out that the melon slice was a parrot with bright green coats.

"You can't talk to him, just respond and he will get your voice, and then he can imitate and replace you," Long Jing told me, munching on hot sugar-fried chestnuts, "It likes to kill children, and it says because children like to kill parrots." ”

"It's such a hassle to know you!" I couldn't help but scream.

"It's over!" Longjing spat out chestnut shells and shot accurately at the charcoal fire, knocking out a string of sparks. Not only that, but he also proudly made an arrogant expression of "are you okay".

Don't be so boring, I don't want to roll his eyes anymore.

"By the way, do you have a little girl in red in your account book?" I remembered my mother's words, and I have always been a little concerned.

Long Jing wrinkled his nose: "No?" There is no such monster, I only have a monster in the form of a child. The others all have a deliberately scary posture, ho-ho-hehe. ”

Anyway, do you really make you so proud of the fact that you're scary?

At this time, I suddenly heard a curling singing voice: "The island ice wheel is beginning to turn, see the jade rabbit, see the jade rabbit and rise in the east early."

The ice wheel is far from the island, and the sky is very clear.

When the moon is empty, it is just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace, and the slave is like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace. ”

Long Jing listened attentively and said, "This voice is familiar." ”

I hurriedly asked who it was, and Long Jing smiled mysteriously: "I'm tired of eating big fish and meat these days, so prepare jade xiaolongbao for me early~ En'en, I'm waiting for you to come to me." And he swaggered away.

Hey, Longjing is like a clay swamp, if you run into him, you will be swept over and trapped, today is really unlucky, I sigh, maybe tomorrow will be more unlucky than today.

In a trance, the back of a little girl in red has been running in front of me, I tried my best to chase, but I couldn't catch up, I was exhausted from running, I just put my hand on her shoulder, she was about to turn back, but I was suddenly awakened by the sound of knocking on the door, it turned out to be a dream.

Hurriedly put on clothes and opened the door, it turned out to be Sister Hu, the musician of Yanyu Pavilion, Sister Hu looked panicked, pushed me into the door, and hurriedly turned around to look, confirmed that there was no one around, bolted the door sharply, turned around and said to me in horror: "Dragon God Messenger, no, the peony girl is possessed by a ghost!" ”

"Huh?" I'm still asleep and not fully awake: "What are you talking about? ”

Sister Hu sat down dejectedly and said, "Here's the thing, Uncle Xu came over last night and named him to listen to the Mandarin Duck girl sing a song about the drunkenness of the concubine, do you know the Mandarin Duck girl?" ”

Of course I know, the Mandarin Duck girl is said to be born in Liyuan, and her line is Da Qingyi, which is also a little famous, but the bad thing is that she is not ladylike, and she has been in love with a singing Xiaosheng for a long time, and actually eloped out of the troupe, but was deceived by Xiaosheng and was sold to Yanyu Pavilion. At first, I had to seek death, and then I didn't know how the bustard persuaded him, but he obediently started to be a sister, and he sang well in the play, and the business was doing well, and the benefactors were all elderly elegant guests, Yanyu Pavilion specially invited a musician, which can be described as in the limelight, it is said that it is stronger than the Ruixia girl who sings Jiangnan songs, and it seems to be an old-fashioned person, and the popularity is also very good.

Seeing me nodding, Hu continued: "It just so happens that the mandarin duck girl is infected with the wind and cold, and her voice can't make a sound, but she doesn't dare to push back, how can the uncle be provoked, and she has a headache, the peony girl came with a smile, and only said that she could sing and was willing to entertain the mandarin duck." We have worked with the peony girl for so many years, I have never heard that she will, and then the rap is not good, the uncle blames, no one can afford it, who would have expected that the peony girl actually dressed up and sang a song by herself, the uncle was stunned, reacted and shouted good, and rewarded us greatly. I didn't understand, "Isn't that a good thing?" I heard that saving the scene is like fighting a fire, and the peony girl is versatile. Sister Hu shook her head in horror: "Things are not so simple, the peony girl's singing voice is old-fashioned and tactful, and she is a famous character when she hears it, and she couldn't even sing a little song before, besides, if she had this ability, she would have been famous all over the world, and she didn't have to succumb to the Yanyu Pavilion at all." Sister Hu made sense, I nodded, and then Sister Hu said: "And ah, the peony girl is illiterate at all, every time the benefactor leaves a note, she always has to read it to the central people, so if the benefactor has any private affairs, she can only shake it out, there is no way to keep it secret, for this lost a lot of benefactors, Wang Gongzi left the feelings, she also asked others to read and listen, as a result, Wang Gongzi was made fun of and angry, simply changed to Ruixia, no longer see the peony, Peony also vomited a big breath, originally Wang Gongzi saw that the peony acted virtuously and decently, has revealed the meaning of redeeming her as a concubine, Peony is getting older, and she is trying to be good, but she broke off her thoughts, and I heard that she almost lost her breath when she cried. "Oh, no wonder Miss Ruixia was cursed by her, it turns out that there is this inside story. But what does this have to do with singing? Sister Hu took a breath, I was busy serving tea, Sister Hu drank it all, and then said: "But yesterday, she waved to the uncle and wrote a piece of Li Qingzhao's voice slowly, and it was a very beautiful plum blossom seal." I couldn't help but widen my eyes: "Wouldn't it?" "Not only that," Sister Hu said: "Although Peony is generous and decent, and is accustomed to proportion, last night's demeanor, she was a beautiful lady, and her expression and posture have completely become another person."
