"Say, who the hell sent this?" I asked, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Maybe it's a prank?" Tsubaki replied.

"Otherwise... Go to the hospital and ask the old man, "What does he know?" I said.

"He's going to beat you to death. Tsubaki shook his head, "I think you'd better not appear in front of him again until he is angry, otherwise the next time it hits your head, it may not be something as soft as a pillow..."

A few hours ago, after resolving the misunderstanding between the beast and Xiao Qi, I immediately contacted Guan Qing without a minute of delay, briefly explained my situation to him, and we went to the hospital where the old man was, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, old man Tianbei.

I specially bought flowers and fruits, I feel that I have a belly to say to this stubborn old man, according to Guan Qing, he is much better, but his temper is still so irritable, and he beats people if he doesn't agree, but we haven't seen each other for so long, should...

I guess it still won't give me a good look.

Yes, when I saw Guan Qing's sympathetic expression outside the ward, I knew that the old man would not greet me as happily as I thought.

"What's the situation?" I whispered.

"The boss is very upset to hear that you are back," Guan Qing said in a low voice outside the ward, it can be seen that the old man's ward must be expensive, and all this is Guan Qing's doing, "I don't know why, anyway, I blushed and didn't say a word." ”

"That's... Am I still going in?" I whispered, after all, although the old man is an old man, he still has a lot of strength, and it is no joke to be beaten, and I can't fight back yet...

"Little bunny, I hear you, get in here!"

The old man didn't give me a chance to escape.

"Old... Boss. "I was carrying my things and standing upright at the door of the ward.

Well, he's lost a little weight and doesn't look very good, but fortunately he still speaks with a lot of energy.

"Who told you to come back?" said the old man's face, with no hint of joy on his face.

"I... I'll be able to teleport to different places through paper spirits in the future, so even if I stay in the store, I won't attract youkai, and I don't want Tsubaki to be alone all the time..."

"I mean, did I agree with you going back to the shop?" the old man was not at all surprised to hear the paper spirit.

What's the situation?

"But... Tsubaki is also back? and..."Moreover, I have nowhere to go, the school can't go back for the time being, all I can go back to is Tianbei groceries, otherwise I will really have to go to Guan Qing's house to spend the night."

"I asked her to come back," said the old man in Tianbei, "but you, did I let you come back?"

I turned my head to look out of the ward suspiciously, Tsubaki and Guan Qing both nodded quickly, and both guys were just standing outside the door, without the slightest intention of coming in.

What a pig teammate...

"I'm coming back for another reason. "Take a deep breath, I said.

"Tell me about it. The old man said.

"I've been to the gap in time, and I've been tested by the Empress of Fungus," I said, "ghostwriting is far more complicated than I imagined, and the responsibility is great. ”

"Well, go on. ”

"It is said that ghostwriters are the link between humans and monsters, and I feel that I can no longer use travel to escape, and facing monsters and facing my inner anxiety is what a ghostwriter should do. I said, "And, in the process of traveling, I've also discovered that friends and family are the most important things." Therefore, I would like to stay by your side and continue my work as a late-night ghostwriter at Takita Groceries. ”

After a while, the old man waved at me, and I hurriedly stepped forward, feeling that Guan Qing and Tsubaki outside the door were relieved, and it seemed that he was finally not so angry.

But then again, why is he angry?

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt wrong, but the old man didn't give me a chance to escape, grabbed my shoulder, stood on the hospital bed, picked up the pillow and hit my head, and muttered while beating, "I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll let you brag, and face your heart! What are you running! Boy, don't run! Stop!"

The nurse and Guan Qing rushed into the ward together, and it was not easy to stabilize the old man's mood.

"Oh my God... This looks like an old man, it's obvious that it's a strong young man!" I rubbed my head, and it was a pillow that worked, "What the hell is he angry about?"

"I'm angry that you came back without saying hello, and I'm angry that you ran to the gap in time," Guan Qing closed the door of the ward behind him and walked to me, "The most angry thing is that you didn't go home to take a look before you came back." ”

"I can understand the first two reasons, but... "Indeed, it's been a long time since I've been home, and it's been a long time since I've messaged that person.

"Well, the boss contacted your father during your trip, and he said that after all, you eat and live in the store, and you have the obligation and responsibility to tell your father about your situation, and... Well, I don't know what the two of them said, his attitude towards you has become the way it is now..."Guan Qing said, "What is that time gap?"

"It's... Well, a bit of a dangerous place. I said, "If you go the wrong way, you'll disappear, if you say the wrong thing, you'll be beaten up by the monsters there, and if you don't want to be a ghostwriter there, there are still a lot of secrets, and it's not safe to know too much." I said this, but in my heart I thought about what Guan Qing had just said.

Father... I picked up the phone and wanted to call the man, but after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to wait for the old man to lose his breath and ask him in person.

So the attempt to visit the old man failed, and Tsubaki and I returned to the store, and as soon as we entered, I saw a piece of stationery on the table.

"I feel like there's a monster on this letter. I looked at the paper, "But the writing is beautiful, and it doesn't look like a monster's handwriting..."

"Maybe someone is ghostwriting for you?" Tsubaki said, "but what do you mean by that?"

"If you don't think too much, it's just a sentence from the Classic of Mountains and Seas," I said, "but..."

"But in Tianbei groceries, such a sentence suddenly appeared, and it was definitely more than just a sentence," Tsubaki turned the letter over and over again, "Ye Ke, how does this letter feel like the tide is whirring?"

When she said this, the letter felt like it had been wet with water and then dried.

"Maybe it's a guy in the water," I said, "Tsubaki, do you know where Zhongshan is?"

"Yes, I know. Tsubaki replied, "You're not going to go, are you? And I don't know who it is, is it really safe to go over?

"Leaving only a piece of paper, the guy who wrote this sentence probably didn't want us to know who it was. I said, "Then let's go to the place I mentioned above." ”

Tsubaki still looked worried.

"If you're not worried, do you want to come with me? If it's a bad youkai, then it will come to me even if I hide in the house, but if it really has a youkai asking for help, it will be disappointed if you ignore it." I said, looking at the handwriting on the letterhead.

The god of Zhongshan, called Candle Yin, is regarded as day, blinded as night, blown as winter, and called as summer - on the slightly damp letterhead, there is only this sentence.
