Chapter 15: Meeting the Dead
The sun is shining, and on the long path, a carriage is moving slowly, and the window of the carriage reveals two small heads, one round and with baby fat, which makes people want to pinch it twice.
There is also a slightly shy, although curious, but with a dignified attitude, at first glance, it is experienced a good upbringing.
Yin Shilan was carrying a burden and was on her way to visit her cousin when she saw the child smiling.
The child smiled when he saw him, and greeted him warmly through the window.
Yin Shilan stepped forward and asked, "It turned out to be you, where are you going?" ”
He Wenwu said happily: "My sister took us to Rakshasa Sea City, where are you going?" Is it going south? ”
Yin Shilan smiled and nodded.
"yes, I'm going to the south to see my cousin."
He Wenwu immediately greeted the other party warmly.
"Together."
Yin Shilan readily agreed.
Sui Lian'er raised his eyes and raised his hand to give him a big brain crash.
He Wenwu covered his head, not understanding why he hit him.
Sanniang smiled on the side and didn't answer.
He ran up to Yin Shilan and raised his fleshy smiling face.
"Why did my sister beat me?"
Yin Shilan explained with a smile.
He Wenwu understood, turned his head and ignored him, and apologized to his sister.
Along the way, with Yin Shilan, Sanniang can be regarded as a relief, Yin Shilan does not lose the title of the old fox Weng Yin Gong, has solid knowledge, and one of the contents is interesting.
Soon he was adored by the brothers.
Sui Lianer and the others are not human beings, and they scoff at the behavior of human beings who restrain women, so there is no taboo against Yin Shilan.
The result of the group's lively conversation was that they missed the place to stay and could only live in the ruined temple.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day, so I didn't get wet in the rain.
Sanniang took the brothers to clean up the weeds in the broken temple.
A simple bed was made.
Let Sui Lian'er rest first.
Sui Lian'er looked at Sanniang a little strangely.
"Why did you do it yourself? Aren't you going to use ghost powers? ”
Sanniang was also a little stunned, yes, she was already a ghost, why did she do it herself.
Smiled softly and put down the thatch he was holding in his hand.
The plain hand was raised slightly. Soon the ruined temple was cleaned up.
"Probably because I can walk in the sun, eat and sleep, and give me the illusion that I am still alive."
Sui Lian'er shook his head seriously.
Yin Shilan added with a smile: "Miss Kou is already in the world, how can she still have the illusion of being in the world." ”
Sui Lian'er nodded, that's what she meant.
Sanniang smiled.
That's right, she is already in the world, what is the illusion, she is mistaken.
The broken temple was cleaned up, and Sui Lian'er took out three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.
The cigarette rose, and Sui Lian'er confessed to the idol before sitting down.
He Wenwu rummaged for a while in the salute he brought, found a sealed jar, and said happily.
"Found it!"
happily trotted to Sui Lian'er's side with the jar and offered it flatteringly.
"Sister, this is made by my mother, and it is said that it is sealed well and can be eaten for a long time."
Sui Lian'er was a little curious, oh.
As a result, as soon as the jar was opened, a sour smell came to the surface.
The sour is spicy, and people can't help but salivate.
Sui Lian'er's eyes lit up, it was sauerkraut, and it could indeed be eaten for a long time.
Turned to Sanniang and said.
"Sanniang, quick, take a bowl out."
Sanniang is very express a bowl.
Sui Lian'er carefully poured out most of the bowl of sauerkraut.
Then he sealed the jar and handed it to He Wenwu.
"Go, put it away, and get ready to eat."
Next to the cleared space, a bonfire had been lit, and Yin Shilan sat next to the fire, looking at the baked cakes next to him from time to time, although he also wanted to eat two bites of sauerkraut.
But if you don't pay attention to the baking of the cake, it is not good.
At this time, Sui Lian'er came over with sauerkraut and hurriedly looked over.
The clear soup, the crispy side dishes when you look at it, the inside is a home-cooked radish, and when you bite into it, the sourness immediately comes, and it is a spicy with a sweet taste.
It's wonderful.
In the burnt baked mochi with baking, the taste is exquisite.
Yin Shilan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Sui Lian'er smiled and opened the baked cake in half, and then added the sauerkraut to it, and a simple baked cake with sauerkraut was ready.
Give one to each of the two children first, and then make one for Sanniang.
Finally, make another one yourself.
Take a heavy bite.
His eyes immediately narrowed.
Delicious.
"That's a better way to eat."
Looking at the two children who were taking three or two bites of a baked cake, Yin Shilan tentatively learned to make one, and the taste was indeed better than a mouthful of sauerkraut and a mouthful of baked cakes.
Sui Lian'er asked, "How is it, it tastes good, right?" ”
Yin Shilan nodded, it was indeed good.
"If you like to eat, let your daughter-in-law make it for you."
Yin Shilan's face was a little red, but she still smiled calmly: "Alone, I didn't marry." ”
Sui Lian'er was curious.
"You didn't marry a wife under such conditions?! What kind do you want to marry? How about Sanniang like this? ”
Pointing at Yin Shilan, he turned his head to Sanniang and said: .
"Don't look at his ordinary, in the future, he will be a person who has prosperous official fortunes and will be a scholar, if you marry him, maybe you can get the emperor's reward with him and become a new person."
Sanniang smiled and shook her head, maybe she used to expect to become a human again, but now, she wants to become an immortal.
Yin Shilan also waved his hand again and again.
"Miss Sui, don't be kidding, what kind of identity is Xiaosheng, and how can she be worthy of Sanniang."
Sui Lian'er looked at Sanniang's gorgeous and beautiful face, and then looked at Yin Shilan, who had an ordinary face, and nodded.
"It's really not worthy. If you two are together, you will have the illusion of flowers on cow dung. ”
Yin Shilan breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little funny.
How did he say it on his face again.
"Okay, it's not early, hurry up and rest, I'll keep the first half of the night, how about Miss Sui keep the second half of the night?"
Sui Lian'er nodded indifferently.
"Okay, then let's go to sleep first."
After saying that, he fell asleep.
He Wenwu and He Wenshun have long been sleepy little by little.
This will see Sui Lian'er lying down, quickly one by one, hugged Sui Lian'er tightly, and fell asleep.
Sanniang thanked Yin Shilan a little embarrassed, and then prepared to rest.
Yin Shilan looked at the sleeping man and sighed.
It's really big-hearted, two women, two children, and a man dare to go out without taking them.
……
In a daze, Sui Lian'er heard someone calling her again, and walked over to see that it was a short and fat old man with a smile on his face, and the old man was round all over his body.
Round eyes, round nose, round lips, round belly.
When he laughs, he looks like the uncle next door, amiable.
Sui Lian'er immediately laughed.
"You keep calling me?"
The old man nodded.
"Thank you for cleaning up the temple for me, and I came to thank you, please."
Generally speaking, saying thank you means having a table to eat, follow the past, and sure enough.
Chicken, duck and fish on the table, meat and vegetarian matching, everything.
Before moving the chopsticks, Sui Lian'er said casually: "Your elder is very much like an elder of mine, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”
The old man said with a smile: "It seems that it is really fate, the old man exaggerated and called Xiaoyou a girl." I was from this near land, and a woman came the other day and said that her husband had changed his temperament overnight, and that every time he used to read and write an article, he knew nothing, but now he could do it, and just the other day, when she got up, she felt a sore neck.
Looking at the water, the head is not hers.
She came to ask me to help her find out. ”
After the land was finished, Sui Lian'er stopped his chopsticks, and somewhat blamed himself for his quick hands, short mouths for eating people, and short hands for taking people. Well, now there's another trouble.
can't ignore it, and can't overstep her authority, she can only say that she shirks:
"This kind of thing, I'll help you convey it first, if it's solved, everything will be fine, if not, I'll intervene again, how about it?"
The land hurriedly thanked him.
Sui Lian'er continued: "You tell me the person's name, place of origin, age, gender, and address. ”
The land smiled and repeated the man's message.
Sui Lian'er knew it in his heart.
……
Sui Lian'er recalled that last night the land said that it was better to tell the matter to whom, and suddenly remembered that last time it was also a problem of a ghost in the underworld, this time he simply didn't bother the second master, and went to find the second master of Guan, after all, the white and the black all worship him.
Didn't even notice when I walked into a small town.
When he came back to his senses, Yin Shilan had already arranged everything.
Get out of the car and look left and right.
"I have something to deal with, you guys go and rest first."
After speaking, he turned around and left, found a person who was obviously a local, grabbed the other party, gave him a few pennies, and asked.
"Fellow, is there a temple about the emperor here?"
The young man saw that it was an ordinary girl, and gave money, and smiled and pointed the way.
Sui Lianer said thank you.
Wandered to the front of the Guandi Temple.
I bought three sets of incense from Miaozhu, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner.
Kneeling lazily on the futon, there was a sentence, and without a sentence, he began to narrate the legendary Lu Judgment.
After talking about Lu Juan, I talked about what I had heard, about Lu Juan.
It's like pulling home.
After saying that, the incense was just burned.
At the end, leave a sentence: "I, am an atheist, God is useful to me, reserved, useless, then throw it away." ”
Pat the ashes on your clothes, and go away without taking a cloud with you.
On the statue of Guan Gong left, a figure holding a knife smoked angrily.
Carry it to the underworld!
……
Sui Lian'er came back like no one.
Continue to take your two children, a woman, and a halfway in the queue, continue on the road.
The group soon arrived at Jiangyin City, a city in the south, and Yin Shilan invited a few people to go to his cousin's house to live temporarily.
Sui Lian'er lazily refused.
"It's not like I don't have money, I don't have anywhere to go. What's the matter with going to someone else's house to stay overnight, besides, it's your cousin's house, and you didn't even ask what your cousin meant, so you just asked someone to live temporarily, isn't it very respectful of your cousin. ”
Yin Shilan knew that Sui Lian'er was a straightforward and fast-talking person, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Turn around and apologize immediately.
"It's all my fault, I forgot to ask my cousin, so the girl gave me an address, and after I asked my cousin, I will invite the girl."
Sui Lian'er left him alone, and said ambiguously: "When the time comes, I will meet and see you when we are fated." ”
After saying that, they got into the carriage, and the two sturdy horses opened their hooves and left in a hurry.
Watch the carriage go away.
Yin Shilan smiled and left.
When I arrived at my cousin's door, it was an old woman who opened the door.
Yin Shilan greeted with a smile and said, "It's Aunt Ning, right?" ”
The old woman asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”
Yin Shilan said: "My cousin Shan Danling is your daughter-in-law. ”
Mrs. Ning suddenly realized and beckoned Yin Shilan to come in.
Tea was served.
sat down and greeted for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "One day, Dan Ling went out and came back suddenly sick, I saw the doctor, the doctor said to recuperate, but you also know the situation at home, my son went to study abroad, and he hasn't returned yet, there are two people at home, Dan Ling and I, not even a man, Dan Ling is sick, and now, I am alone at home and abroad." ……”
After speaking, he sighed.
Yin Shilan also understood the embarrassment in and out of the words, that is, the family was full of female dependents, and it was inconvenient to keep Yin Shilan at home.
Yin Shilan smiled and said: "Aunt has worked hard, my cousin is sick and can't serve my mother-in-law, and I want you to serve her, thank you very much, I'll go and see my cousin." ”
Mrs. Ning said hello and led him to the backyard.
Yin Shilan followed behind Mrs. Ning and came to the backyard, and Mrs. Ning explained: "It is close to the house, so it is convenient to take care of it. ”
Yin Shilan nodded knowingly.
Follow Mrs. Ning in.
Shan Danling happened to be awake, and when he saw Yin Shilan coming, his face was much better, and he cried out happily
"Cousin."
Yin Shilan hurriedly stepped forward, stood three steps away, finished saluting, and shouted, "Cousin." ”
Mrs. Ning said, "You sisters and brothers will talk for a while, and I'll go cook." ”
Yin Shilan hurriedly refused.
Mrs. Ning insisted.
The two sides had a tug-of-war for a while, and finally Yin Shilan agreed.
Looking at the thin body, with only a layer of skin hanging on his body, the whole person is like a cousin with skin and bones.
Yin Shilan felt sad.
"Cousin, why did you suddenly become like this?"
Shan Dan Ling Yao Yao's head.
"I don't know, but one day when I came back from going out, I felt tired, I wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but after lying down, I couldn't get up, and when I fell asleep every night, I often felt that something was staring at me, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep."
Yin Shilan clenched his fists.
Is this going to survive my cousin alive?
"Have you ever seen a doctor?"
"The doctor has seen it and found nothing wrong, but his body is weak and his spirit is not good, so it's good to rest more."
"Have you ever seen a Taoist monk?"
Shan Danling shook his head, a little puzzled.
"Not really, what does my cousin think?"
Yin Shilan is not sure, but there are many strange people and strange things in this world, and the reason can always be found.
"I know a good friend, why don't I ask her to show you."
Shan Danling agreed.
After eating, Yin Shilan got up and said goodbye.
When he found Sui Lian'er, Yin Shilan was tired and decadent, but he did walk over at the first time, tidy up his messy clothes, and greeted him with a smile.
At the first glance, Sui Lian'er raised his eyebrows.
"Something happened to you."
Affirmative tone.
Yin Shilan was stunned for a moment and admitted with a smile.
"Yes, my cousin is sick and I want you to take a look."
In order to find Sui Lian'er and his party, he asked all the inns in Jiangyin City.
Sui Lian'er stretched out his hand and pulled out a string of black light from him, and the yin qi on the line made up for it, and the light and shadow flickered.
"I don't have time, I'll go to the restaurant for dinner later. But it's not difficult to solve your cousin's problem, it doesn't matter if I go or not. Do you still have the return gift from the old man at the last wedding banquet? ”
Yin Shilan was a little puzzled, but still said, "There are still some left." ”
Sui Lian'er put the line in the sun, and the black gas quickly disappeared a little.
"There is a bamboo tube in the return gift, you open the bamboo tube, and there is a good bamboo leaf green inside, just give the bamboo leaf green to your cousin to drink, and it's okay."
Yin Shilan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
When he went back to find the bamboo tube, he didn't wonder why the old man would give him a bamboo tube, but there was no trace of this bamboo tube that could be opened, and it looked like an ordinary piece of bamboo.
And he stayed.
Find the knife from the kitchen and carefully break the bamboo.
Suddenly, a sweet breath permeated, and the moment he asked, it made people's spirits clear.
Yin Shilan hurriedly poured out the wine and carefully served it to her cousin.
"Cousin, you have a taste, this is a gift from a strange person I met some time ago."
Although Shan Danling had doubts in her heart, the idea of wanting to live accounted for most of them, and from the time her cousin brought this wine, she felt tired all over her body, and she dispersed a lot, and it was not difficult to get up.
The body is also constantly transmitting the desire to think.
Take the drink and drink it all.
The fierce scent of bamboo spread from the stomach to the limbs, and the hands and feet, which had been cold, warmed up.
Eyes lit up.
"Good wine."
After speaking, he lifted the quilt and stood up.
Yin Shilan was amazed.
When we first met, my cousin still couldn't stand up, but it didn't take long for me to get up!
