Chapter 22: The Spirit
"Okay, okay, I'll drink, but you promised me to go to the room and sleep for a while, you didn't sleep all night last night, and you still worry about me so much." I'm a rough person, I haven't dealt with women for 20 years, and I haven't said anything good, and now I care about Zhilan in my heart, but I don't know what girls like to hear, and she is willing to listen to what she says, I can only say the most real feelings in my heart.
Zhilan hurriedly shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, I'll go to sleep when I see you finish drinking." ”
I couldn't resist her, so I quickly drank two bowls of chicken soup, and when I looked up, I just wanted to tell her to let her go to sleep, but at this moment, Zhilan had already fallen asleep with one hand supporting her temple.
A smile rose on the corner of my mouth, and I said softly, "Stubborn girl, you still say that you are not sleepy." ”
Just in case anything else happened, I crept to my feet, grabbed Zhilan in my arms, and picked her up, but she was much softer than I expected, and I picked her up without a little effort, and put her on my bed in two or three steps.
Thinking of letting her sleep well and tidy up the table by herself, she was just about to turn around, when her hand took my hand and muttered, "Brother, don't go." ”
I was stunned, and carefully confirmed, she was really asleep, and it was just a dream just now, so I was more relieved.
Waiting for her to hold on to me with less force, she turned to clean up the table and closed the door.
I couldn't stay at home, so I went out, ready to wander around, familiarize myself with the roads in the village, and relive my childhood.
Walking on the country road, the summer cicadas, the leaves blown by the wind, and the morning sunshine is still mild, bathed in me, my heart is quiet here, come to the peach bridge at the head of the village, look at the rushing water, can't help but stop to watch the beautiful scenery.
There are about two or three hundred households in this village, not small, with the bridge as the boundary, more than 100 households on the east side of the bridge are called Qiaodong Village, and the west side of the bridge is called Qiaoxi Village.
Not for anything else, just because the village chief of Qiaoxi Village is the head of the Zhao family.
Speaking of the Zhao family, it may not be anything in a big city, but in this acre and three points of land, the Zhao family is one of the best households, whether it is word of mouth, ability, or family property, it is considered to be the peak, and no one dares to disrespect or disrespect.
As far back as I can remember, the steward at the east end of the bridge tried his best to lead the entire village, doing everything he could, but the position of the Zhao family was still unshakable.
Therefore, my stay in the village means that when I officially inherit the paper shop, it is also the day when I become the head of these two villages.
I had just returned, and I still didn't know what the attitude of the people in the village was towards me, and I was under some pressure in the face of the unknown.
While I was thinking, I suddenly felt that someone seemed to be behind me, and I heard a weak shout: "Brother...... Brother Zhao ......"
"I'm here, under the willows of the Peachwood Bridge......"
I turned my head and vaguely saw a little boy of seven or eight years old, attached to the willow tree, afraid to come out, his soul looming, very weak.
I took two quick steps and came up to him: "You were yesterday's little ghost?" Why didn't you go to reincarnation? ”
"I, I went to the back mountain two days ago to play with those children, and then I was locked in a box by a yellow skin, and then I followed those little ghosts to reincarnate inexplicably, but the ghost didn't want me, he said that my soul was not complete. I don't know where to go by myself, I don't know the way home......"
Hearing him say this, I guess he must have just lost his soul, and then accidentally mixed with the group of dead imps.
So I whispered, "Which one are you?" ”
