Chapter 66: Chivalrous Ghosts
Lingbao woke up early the next day, but when she saw that the king was still sleeping, she didn't make a sound and lay down obediently in the bed.
I opened a small crack in the window, flipped through the account post, and looked at my name on it and smiled.
After a while, Lingbao heard a voice in the yard, and leaned over to the small crack to see that it was his father and big brother who got up.
Daddy is very diligent in his studies and gets up early every day.
Ling Bao also flipped down lightly, and then tiptoed to cover the king with a quilt, and whispered: "The king has worked hard." ”
Today, let the king eat more and give her to the king.
"Big brother, this is for you."
Ling Bao held up the household post, and his smiling eyes narrowed: "We said it yesterday." "She's a good talker.
"That's good." Cheng Yun took it and pinched her face with itchy hands.
Put the household post in the cabinet in the main room, Cheng Yun took a towel to wash Lingbao's face, and wiped it carefully.
The little girl became whiter and more tender as she grew, and she no longer had the same yellow and thin appearance as before, with a round face and round eyes, like a New Year's doll.
After washing, Cheng Zhongqian sat at the desk to review his homework, and Cheng Yun also took a pen and paper to copy, the manuscript is still the main source of income for their family, and it should not be abandoned.
Cheng Zhongqian will go to school in a few days, and he will definitely not be able to take care of this side at that time, so he can only rely on Cheng Yun.
Lingbao moved to a small bench and was also muttering to read.
Seeing that she was not depressed because of yesterday's events, Cheng Yun put her mind at ease and concentrated on copying.
"Lingbao, where have you been?"
The king's slightly muffled call suddenly sounded in his mind, and Ling Bao immediately threw away the branch and ran back to the room.
"King!" Lingbao said happily, "You're finally awake!" ”
The king yawned long and licked his tongue: "Is there any water?" I'm so thirsty. ”
"Yes, I'll pour it." Lingbao ran out again, and then came in with the king's exclusive rice bowl and put it in front of it, "Drink, I'll pour it if it's not enough." ”
The king was so thirsty that he put his head in, and put water into his mouth with his tongue, and drank a large bowl with a snort.
"Don't choke. Is it enough to drink? ”
The king nodded and burped: "Enough is enough, don't drink it." ”
Ling Bao put the bowl aside, climbed onto the bed, and couldn't wait to ask, "King, have you found evidence?" ”
The king shook his head: "No." ”
Lingbao was very disappointed, and if there were ears on the top of his head, he would have hung down at this time, like a small flower bone that has been wilted.
"The village chief said that when you were born, your grandmother and sister-in-law were there, otherwise we should ask them?" The king proposed.
Lingbao said, "But grandma is dead." ”
"Huh? He's dead? The king said distressedly, "What about your sister-in-law?" ”
"My sister-in-law is missing."
"I can't ask ...... then."
Well, I can't ask...... Ling Bao lay on the bed with a sad face.
"Don't give up Lingbao, kung fu is not afraid of people with a heart, as long as we insist, we will definitely be able to find evidence, if it doesn't work in one day, it will be two days, and if it doesn't work in a year, it will be two years!" The king didn't want Lingbao to have no spirit, so he encouraged her like a chicken.
Ling Bao nodded heavily: "Mmmm! ”
In the morning, Zhao Guihua came and cared about the injury on Cheng Zhongqian's head and Lingbao.
"By the way, you don't know yet, today the Wu family was found lying in the yard with a blue nose and swollen face, seriously ill, and said that they saw a ghost last night, and the green ghost fire was floating around his house."
"If you want me to see it, God can't even look past it, and I'll be punished!"
Ling Bao's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Is there really a ghost fire?" Is it really green? ”
The king also approached with interest, feeling that he was listening to a strange story, and he had never seen a ghost fire!
Zhao Guihua picked the vegetable leaves in front of her and said, "Then who knows, anyway, what they said has a nose and eyes." ”
The king pulled Lingbao's clothes and ran to the door of Han's house, and as soon as he walked in, he heard the sound of Wu's ghost crying wolf, and kept shouting words like "There are ghosts and ghosts" and "Help".
The king held his head high: "That ghost must be a chivalrous ghost who draws a sword to help when the road is uneven!" ”
Ling Bao nodded seriously: "Yes, chivalrous ghost!" ”
She thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "The chivalrous ghost is so powerful, can it help us?" ”
Wang Yixi: "Let's ask it, if it's willing to help us, that's great!" ”
But how do you ask? How do we find it? ”
The king thought deeply for a while, and came up with an idea: "Ghosts like paper money, let's burn paper for it, and it should come out." ”
During the Qingming Festival or the death day, the people in the village will burn paper for the deceased, and they will burn more, and the ancestors will live well underground, and they will also bless their descendants.
So burning paper is useful!
"Then let's burn paper for the chivalrous ghost tonight, not during the day, the ghost is afraid of the light."
The little girl is not big, and she knows a lot.
King: "Okay, then we'll burn our heads in the back of the house." I don't know if I can bring it into the space. ”
You can't bring living creatures into the space, but ghosts aren't living creatures!
"Let's give it a try, it's not a loss!" Lingbao is eager to try.
She also wanted to find a paper pot, but she couldn't find it, but she found a smooth wooden stick that could be used to flick the paper money.
I also made a dry steamed bun, two cleaned wild vegetables, and even the only wild berry picked from the side of the road.
This was specially left to her by the second brother, and only she had it.
One man and one cat had everything ready, but at night, when they hid in the corner behind the house, they realized that they had forgotten the most important thing - paper money?!
Lingbao and the king looked at each other.
"I forgot, we don't have paper money in our family."
The ancestors of the Cheng family are not buried here, even if Qingming has not yet arrived, the Cheng family naturally will not buy paper money.
"Can't we hire a chivalrous ghost?" Lingbao asked.
The king said, "Although we have forgotten the paper money, we have prepared these." As the saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, and chivalrous ghosts will definitely not care. ”
Are you sure? Lingbao was a little embarrassed.
She knelt in front of the "offering", put her two small hands together, raised them above her head, bowed decently, and then kowtowed.
"Chivalrous ghost, can you hear me? Please help me, how can I find the evidence? Can you hear me? I'll give you all this to eat, and if it's not enough, I'll bring it to you tomorrow, okay? ”
Ling Bao was very sincere, and after speaking, he waited expectantly for the chivalrous ghost to appear.
A little cool breeze blew, and the leaves swirled and flew by.
"Didn't the chivalrous ghost hear? Why didn't it show up? ”
Is it because she only kowtowed once? Lingbao immediately made up two, and everyone seemed to be knocking three.
Even the king "clicked" the cat's head three times in a nondescript manner, but it was really a round ball that it knelt on, and it couldn't tell whether it was knocked or not.
This time even the gusts of wind were gone.
