Chapter 28: The Soul Gathering Bell Rings Again
Yin Ruoli and Rao Ge had already bought tickets for 4:20 and planned to take the bus back to Changwei Mountain.
Although Changwei Town is a small town, there are city walls on three sides, and there is a passage connected to the mortal world outside the city wall, which is guarded by the disciples of Xuanji Pavilion. Those who come and go between Yinxu and the mortal world hold customs clearance documents and take the bus between the two places.
The customs clearance documents from the mortal realm to Yinxu are either the Yinxu resident certificate, or the study order, and the customs clearance document from the Yinxu to the mortal realm, or the cargo residence envoy certificate (i.e., the businessman), or the secret envoy order. However, in recent years, due to the large number of tourists to the mortal world, a special tourist certificate has also been issued. Such people have no political tasks in the mortal realm, and are purely playful.
Buses depart once a day, starting at 4 p.m. from both places. Yin Ruoli and Rao Ge were going to take the bus at four o'clock in the afternoon on the 16th to the academy.
said that when the time came, Rao's father, mother, and sister would send them together. Sister Rao also said that she wanted to feel the feeling of farewell on the nine-and-quarter platform.
Ruoli didn't understand the origin of this nine-and-four-part platform, Rao Jing used her words to tell Ruoli the story of the character Harry Potter.
Ruoli asked: "There is no problem if you want to feel goodbye, but we don't take the bus back to school at the nine-and-four-quarter platform, we take the bus with a ticket and wait at the door of the house, which is similar to the knight bus you said." ”
"I know that the bus to Yinxu will pick up customers at the door according to the time on the ticket. But it's okay, I'm just as excited to take you on the bus back to school. Rao Jing said excitedly.
However, this plan was disrupted on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, Ruo Lizheng and Rao Ge were walking down the street, and they heard five messenger drums in their ears, and the drums were dull and rapid.
She paused for a moment, slightly one step behind Rao Ge, thinking about the messenger drum just now.
When the ancient immortals fall and the auspicious immortals are born, there will be signs.
According to these signs, Chang Weishan set up a messenger drum. When there is a major change or great good news, the messenger drum will be sounded. The sound is tragic when it is sad, the drum is rapid when there is an accident, and the drum is joyful when there is good news. The heavier the degree, the more drumming there is. Since the setting of the messenger drum, no matter what kind of message is conveyed, there have never been as many as five drum sounds.
Ruoli didn't seem to hear it, and when Rao Ge turned his head, he walked two parts to catch up with Rao Ge and accompanied him to continue walking on the street. When they were sitting in a coffee shop to rest, Ruoli mentioned that he had a personal matter to handle, and he needed to leave immediately, and he couldn't be with Rao Ge.
Rao Ge had taken Ruoli to a coffee shop to drink coffee before, and Ruoli took a sip and put it down gently. Although her face was calm and unwavering, Rao Ge guessed that coffee was not to her liking from the fact that she had stopped taking a sip of coffee since then.
He asked, "Don't like coffee?"
"Still prefer tea. Ruoli leaned back in the chair, "but the environment here is not bad, and the elegant environment of the tea room is different, and it has a sense of freshness." ”
The second time, Rao Ge bought black tea for Ruoli, Ruoli smelled it, and returned it to Rao Ge with disgust, saying that he had bought fake tea. Rao Ge looked at the bottled tea, and then at Ruoli, remembering her taste and her origin. Secretly blamed himself and said: Rao Ge, Rao Ge, you are so dizzy, you go out without brains, take this kind of fast-moving consumer goods to Ruoli to drink, I really can't comment.
He leaned closer to the bottle and sniffed it, a look of disgust on his face. To be honest, in Yinxu, Yang Diao also gave him a taste for tea. He went to buy juice for Ruoli to drink, Ruoli tasted it, and said that it was not as delicious as Aunt Lin's. Mrs. Lin is a resident of Changwei Town, and has contracted a fruit grove in the east of the town to sell seasonal fruits, and has opened a juice shop to sell seasonal juices. Ruoli often takes Rao Ge to rub Aunt Lin's juice to drink.
Rao Ge became more and more courageous the more he fought, and he felt that if he didn't buy Ruoli's favorite drink today, it would not be finished.
He took Ruo out of a bar and ordered a variety of drinks. Ruoli's first favorite thing in Yinxu is to drink, the second is juice, and the third is tea. In terms of drinking, Rao Ge engraved beauty and Shan Tao each became four, and neither of them was her opponent.
She once told Rao Ge that when she heard her father say that when she was one year old, because she was holding her father's arm at the dinner party, her eyes were looking straight at the wine glass, and her father wanted to tease her, so he dipped the wine in her mouth with chopsticks. Unexpectedly, she was not afraid of the spicy taste of wine, and she still wanted to drink it with her small mouth.
The father laughed and said, "I didn't expect that there was a little drunkard at home." Life was full of surprises, and since then she has cultivated a talent for drinking, which is the only reason why her father and mother can quarrel.
Because of her father's indulgence, when she was ten years old, she drank all over the house, and everyone had to take a detour as soon as they saw her carrying wine. When the clerk in charge of the wine cellar saw her, he wanted to lock the cellar door, but he didn't want to go out, for fear that she would harm his wine.
In order to control her drinking, her mother supported him behind the staff, and her father loved her and didn't want to make her angry often, so it was useless to leave and move her father as a rescuer.
But if there are many ideas from ghosts, her eyes roll, it is an idea.
She thought that since she couldn't take the wine openly, she would have to act like a villain. She found an opportunity, drunk the clerk, took the key to the cellar with him, ordered someone to beat it, and went to the cellar every day to steal wine.
There was a silly boy who didn't know when, and often circled around her and drank with her. But the amount of alcohol he drank was too stinky, and he poured it as soon as he drank it, and he practiced with her for a year before he barely accompanied her to drink a stick of incense.
Later, one night, Ruoli's maid did not find her, so she was very anxious and reported to her mother, and the family was in chaos for a while, and finally found the drunk Ruoli and the stupid boy who was also drunk in the wine cellar.
When I woke up the next day, Ruoli was confiscated and banned for a month. I heard that stupid boy, his ass was opened by his father, and he ordered him not to mess around with Ruoli in the future, otherwise he would serve the family law.
Such a man who drank wine like water, had a row of wine glasses full of wine in front of him, as if a bee had smelled the fragrance of flowers, and his comrades had found the organization, and his expression was obviously happy.
Ruoli looked at the wine glass, and instead of drinking from the wine glass, he took a straw and began to suck slowly one cup at a time. At first, the bartender looked at their jokes like a psychopath, but he didn't expect this delicate little girl to smoke one cup after another, and she was obviously dizzy.
The more and more people around him, they are all coaxing Ruoli, Rao Ge is really speechless, I don't know that drinking can also be lively.
Ruoli finished taking the last sip of wine, smashed it and smashed his mouth: "Although the taste is average, it's better than nothing." The people next to her watched her drink more than a dozen glasses of wine, her face did not change, and they applauded and gave a thumbs up.
When he went shopping in the future, Rao Ge only bought sparkling drinks such as Coke Sprite for Ruoli, which was the only drink in the mortal world that Ruoli could still feel fresh in addition to wine.
At this time, Rao Ge heard Ruoli say that he had a personal matter to go back to Changwei Mountain, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "I'll go back with you, and there will be a care on the way." ”
Ruoli shook his head. said: "It's too late, it's too late to buy a ticket, I have other channels to go back, you better go back according to the plan." ”
Wei's mother was very reluctant to leave. She regarded Yin Ruoli as a daughter-in-law, but she also treated her as a daughter. She felt that it was really not easy for Yin Ruoli to experience a great tragedy in the world at a young age and grow up so well.
Ruoli is also reluctant to defend her mother, although she regards herself as a child of the same age as Rao Ge these days, she really gets deep kindness from this ordinary mortal, it is funny to say, and she also feels the warmth of maternal love. It's a beautiful feeling that I've not seen for a long time.
So Yin Ruoli agreed with Wei's mother that she would come to see her next time she had the opportunity.
Yin Ruoli carried his luggage, and when he turned a corner of a street where they couldn't see, he hid at the corner, recited the spell of breaking the void, cut the connecting space between Yin Ruins and the mortal realm, and returned to the Xuanji Pavilion meeting hall.
Bai Xi and the others are all there.
Yin Ruo straightened out of his clothes, stepped forward and asked what had happened, and recalled himself in such a hurry.
Bai Xi looked at her and said slowly: "The Soul Gathering Bell, it's ringing again." ”
