Chapter Forty-Eight: My Lord.
Zu Rong put his slender fingers beside his glasses and said in a deep voice: "Let's see if there are any young boys and girls who make a private life behind their parents' backs." ”
Syllable! There was a cracking sound, Xu Renqing slowly opened his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.
The person in front of him had already fled underground with someone, and he knew that this person had a great friendship with Jiumu, and it was impossible to hurt her, and it was a success to be able to hide from him once.
Xu Renqing silently muttered "behind his parents", did he put himself in such a position?
Tsk, my stomach hurts, like I've chewed a few pieces of burning pine charcoal.
In the dark, Jiumu ran back and forth chasing the merits of the bright lantern, and the pain in his stomach disappeared in an instant.
But pop, the lamp fell to the ground and burned to ashes, and the person woke up unwillingly.
When I woke up, the first thing I saw was an animal head covered in cavities, ah no, a cute portrait of an animal head.
She propped herself up and touched her stomach, feeling nothing at all, just a little.
Hungry.
She reflexively shouted "Renqing", only to realize that this animal portrait was very familiar, and suddenly turned around to meet the pair of sharp eyes, and scared herself.
"Wake up." Zu Rong's voice rustled with paperwork, and he didn't look up, because the woman lying on the bed was always in her sight.
Jiumu hurriedly jumped off the bed, wondering in his heart, he remembered what kind of lights he was looking at on a dark night, why did he come here?
"You came to deliver the painting, and you fainted."
"Ah, yes, that's embarrassing."
She wiped the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, after all, the person in front of her was the assistant officer of the king of Yama, and he always had a strong official style, so she was very uncomfortable, and she began to worry about her actions and impropriety.
"There's nothing embarrassing, it's the hellish mansion that asks you for help." Zu Rong's pen has not stopped, and even the layers of documents on the desk are comparable to Xu Ziliu's.
As he pushed down his glasses, he handed her a scroll and opened it to see that the five-year life span of the painting had been fulfilled.
"Thank you." Jiumu happily held the paper and looked at it for a long time, and saw that he was busy with business, and said with a little hesitation, "You are so busy, then I will leave first and say goodbye." ”
"There's no hurry." Zu Rong made the last stroke, and looked at her upright, "There is still one more thing to ask for below." ”
"What's the matter?"
The figure at the desk put down the brush, passed by her, and motioned to follow him.
Jiu Mu finally glanced at this small room, the layout was simple, but the animal portraits on the walls were really cute and a little creepy.
She kept up with the man in front of her, trying to take a look at his back.
He sat upright and acted neatly, that is, although this man was tall, he was really thin, and he was not as tall and strong as Xu Renqing.
The two entered an empty small room and sat on the ground, Jiumu looked around, several landscape paintings were hanging, and a few quaint vases were inserted with unknown flowers and leaves.
What surprised her the most was the scenery of the courtyard behind the door, and there were lush plants outside. . . Rice?
She wasn't quite sure if it was rice, she just looked like it.
These plants grow in the water, and there are several blue-black fish swinging in them.
Seeing that Jiu Mu was even more hungry at this time, a thought flashed through his mind: I really wanted to catch a fish and take it to Xu Renqing to eat.
The cat beside Zu Rong held her sword in both hands and sent it to her, Jiumu took it and put it behind him, covered his stomach and asked, "What else do you want from your lord?" ”
If you're okay, I'll go back to dinner!
"Your stomach still hurts?"
Jiu Mu was a little surprised as to why he knew that his stomach was often burning like a burning pain, but he shook his head silently and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." ”
"What do you want to eat?"
"Huh?"
The cat bowed down and repeated, "Your Excellency asks you what you want to eat." ”
"Ah, no, no, I'll just go back and eat, if you say something first, you can help, if you can't, I'll go back."
Zu Rong took the teacup with the rabbit head and asked indifferently: "You are in such a hurry to go back, but someone is waiting for you?" ”
When he heard clearly what the woman and the man were saying that day, he did not wait for anyone to reply, but looked up and said, "You are eating in hell, and he will not die of hunger." ”
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Jiumu's words were like the wind in his ears, and he couldn't blow in Zu Rong's ears, he glanced at the person in front of him twice, then turned his head and asked, "Ah Mao, are you ready?" ”
"Ready, sir."
Jiumu clasped his knees helplessly, knowing very well that Xu Renqing was starving, but he wanted to escape from this place quickly, but he had to stay hard.
Suddenly, a gust of wind outside the door blew into the house, and the strange thing was that the wind was not mixed with the howling of ghosts that day, but with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and even some osmanthus flowers fell on the clean and shiny quaint wooden corridor.
"My lord, Yaxing." Jiumu Shen was the first to speak in embarrassment, holding hot tea to cushion his stomach.
Zu Rong's refreshing hair trembled slightly, and he looked sideways at the scenery outside, and said, "In a few days, the wind will be fragrant." ”
She looked at the man in front of her, and felt that his dark eyes seemed to fluctuate and soften slightly. Even the glasses were no longer glowing.
Further down is the brown crane pattern dress, wrapped in a white meticulous shirt, just looking at it like this, I can't breathe, I wonder how this person can endure the restraint every day, and have a little respect.
A cat walked into the room with a dinner plate, and the smell of vegetables had already caused Jiumu's eyes to glow golden, staring straight at the people coming and going.
"This is, steamed crucian carp? But fished out of the rice pond? ”
"Yes, I think you like it." He saw that he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, but she couldn't wait to eat, so he shook his head to himself, thinking that she still couldn't stand a lot of etiquette.
"I don't like anything, it's just that adults have something to ask for?"
"Eat, don't talk about business."
Jiu Mu sat up slightly and said embarrassedly, "Okay." ”
Zu Rong didn't move the chopsticks, but picked up the teacup, looked at her through the heat of Yunho, and asked casually: "You, when did you arrive in Jiangzhou?" ”
"Me? I can't remember exactly, but soon, it's just over a month. He asked, what is this for? Could it be that the assistant of this hell also likes to chatter?
His hand holding the teacup slowed down, and then asked, "Last time I sent someone to invite, the important person you talked about, but Xu Renqing?" ”
As soon as he heard the name, Jiumu also slowly stopped his action of picking up vegetables, and said in a low voice, "No." ”
At this time, what flashed in his mind was the unhealed scars on Xu Renqing's body, thinking that more is better than less, if he admits that Xu Renqing is that important person, he doesn't know what trouble will happen.
But what she didn't understand was that Zu Rong actually let go of his straight body as if he was relieved.
Jiumu was a little uncomfortable eating this meal, so much so that he actually accumulated food, and his stomach was always clogged with things, and he didn't want to move.
After withdrawing the main meal, Ah Mao served snacks again, perhaps using osmanthus cakes made of osmanthus outside.
Jiumu couldn't resist the sweet smell, and after eating some more, he became even more uncomfortable, stood up and walked to the porch to watch the oily green bushes rustling in the wind.
There were speckled yellow stains on the surface of the water, and there were a few black shadows swimming in it, and a blister appeared, swallowing the yellow stains.
"My lord, this fish is really fat."
As he spoke, Zu Rong was suddenly startled, and almost turned his whole body to her sideways and asked, "Do you remember?" ”
"Huh?" Jiumu shaved off his face and looked back at him as if he was very excited, so he asked, "What did the adults say?" ”
"Nothing."
She twisted her waist, thinking that she would return to the mortal world immediately, so she hurriedly said: "Then let's talk about business, the adults said that they have something to ask for, what is the so-called thing?" ”
"There is a shortage of manpower in the Sanxi place, please kill the soul and destroy the ghost, I will be grateful."
"Kill souls and kill ghosts, I really haven't done this work, are they all ghosts who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil?"
"Strictly speaking, the punishment soul of the Three Joys is a person who has entered the hell because of too much greed, and he is deeply guilty and does not want to be reincarnated, and after a long time, he will become a ghost, and if he ignores it, he will be sent to the ghost altar of troubled times."
As soon as he mentioned the Ghost Altar in the Troubled Times, Jiumu frowned and said, "The ghosts in the Ghost Altar in the Troubled Times were all sent by hell?" ”
"There are ghosts in the ghost altar of troubled times, and there are ghosts sent by hell."
I see, Jiumu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't care what the hell is, doing a lot of evil is an evil ghost, cutting one is a chop, killing one is extinguishing, you are satisfied, it's just... ”
You can't do this in vain, can you?
