Before Zhuang Baoli received the express delivery from Niu Haixi, he couldn't wait to start fasting and bathing, and asked Luo Lanjun and Zhuang Xuexia to eat vegetarian together.

Luo Lanjun expressed his support, and the dealer's three meals a day immediately ran out of meat.

Zhuang Xuexia still has a lunch to eat at school, and she can't manage it at home. Zhuang Baoli asked Luo Lanjun to bring lunch to Zhuang Xuexia, Zhuang Xuexia had a stinky face, but there was no way to stop her parents' determination.

The palm print on Zhuang Baoli's neck is an irrefutable reason.

This is not the only thing that makes Zhuang Xuexia unhappy.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Zhuang Baoli has changed three things.

In terms of dressing, Zhuang Baoli exposed his handprints, and it was not easy to explain that he was wrapped in bandages, so he had to wear high-necked autumn and winter clothes in advance to cover up.

In terms of travel, he also picked up Zhuang Xuexia to and from school these days.

Zhuang Xuexia couldn't refuse if she wanted to.

"Your dad is with you, so if something happens, you can take care of it." Roland Jun is full of words.

Zhuang Baoli also means this.

Zhuang Xuexia was angry and couldn't refute it.

This time it wasn't because of the shocking wound on Zhuang Baoli's neck, but because she was a little weak-hearted.

She had the intention to accuse Zhuang Baoli of bringing these troubles, and the danger was also directed at Zhuang Baoli, but ...... What if it was really because she was on the phone with Xia Menghui during the Chinese New Year and was heard by her cousin's fiancée...... At this point in time, Zhuang Xuexia didn't dare to ask Zhuang Baoli about her cousin's marriage news.

Only "live", there is really not so much money, and the family of three can only continue to live at home with fear.

After a few days of hard work, Zhuang Xuexia felt that she was tortured and that life was better than death.

Zhuang Xuexia looked at the white toast sandwich with cabbage and tomato prepared by Luo Lanjun, and was in an irritable mood.

The quality of her school cafeteria's lunches was between good and bad, with a few dishes doing well and others being difficult to swallow. Nowadays, lunch in the cafeteria has become a delicacy in her mouth.

"Your parents don't know yet?" Xia Menghui, who was sitting opposite Zhuang Xuexia, pulled the green pepper she didn't like on the dinner plate and asked with concern.

Zhuang Xuexia ate the sandwich in two bites, picked up the shredded meat on the plate, tasted the rare oil and water, and said indifferently: "How can they know that I am still eating school lunch?" They couldn't see what I ate at school. It's just trouble when school is out. ”

Zhuang Xuexia was sullen.

There are so many students in the school, but how many of them are picked up by their parents. There is also a car for people to pick up and drop off, at least a battery car. Zhuang Baoli is good, and he pestles at the school gate every day. Besides, she used to go to and from school by herself, and this sudden change made the classmates strange and began to ask her what was going on.

Even more troublesome is ......

"Alas, I really want to eat fried chicken and grilled sausages......" Zhuang Xuexia groaned in pain.

The fried chicken restaurant and sausage cart in front of the school are the best food spots in the minds of their classmates.

"Bear with me. Didn't you say that something was about to arrive? Xia Menghui comforted.

Their school is strictly controlled, not only are they not allowed to leave the school at will during the school period, but they are also not allowed to take out and express delivery into the campus, and there are often school security patrols, and it is difficult to even find a dog hole to deliver things. The school commissary only sells snacks and does not sell freshly made videos. Originally, when everyone left school, they could buy fried chicken and grilled sausages as soon as they left the school gate. But Zhuang Baoli is now blocking Zhuang Xuexia every day, and Zhuang Xuexia can only smell the fragrance and be greedy.

"Maybe there's fried chicken for lunch tomorrow." Xia Menghui thought of another way to comfort Zhuang Xuexia.

"Tomorrow it's a duck leg." Zhuang Xuexia said.

When she was cooking, she specially asked the cafeteria aunt.

"Oh." Xia Menghui had no other ideas, and jumped back to the topic just now, "When will the express arrive?" ”

"I don't know." Zhuang Xuexia picked out the shredded meat cleanly.

"Would you like another bowl of pork rib soup?"

"Don't." Zhuang Xuexia disliked, "I hate the smell of radish." ”

Xia Menghui gave up completely.

Zhuang Xuexia spent an afternoon listlessly, and when she saw Zhuang Baoli at the school gate after school, she was even more depressed.

She waved to Xia Menghui and walked towards Zhuang Baoli in Xia Menghui's sympathetic eyes.

Zhuang Baoli was still wearing high-necked clothes, and his expression was more excited than Zhuang Xuexia.

"The courier is coming. Let's go back quickly. Zhuang Baoli said.

Zhuang Xuexia was in good spirits.

The father and daughter hurried home, but they didn't see the delivery box at the door.

Zhuang Xuexia was disappointed, "What about the express?" ”

The courier is coming, and it will end her days in prison.

"It's not there yet."

"Didn't you say that?"

"It's at the courier station, and it can be delivered to your door today. I called and asked him to deliver it later. Didn't I pick you up from school? I'll ask him to send it over now. Zhuang Baoli explained.

Niu Haixi is not Li Yun, he chooses a courier and delivers it, and the courier brother casually drops the courier at the recipient's door. This courier requires the recipient's signature.

The father and daughter entered the house, waiting, waiting, waiting for Luo Lanjun, who came home from work, the courier had not yet come.

Zhuang Baoli couldn't sit still and called the courier brother.

“…… Didn't your family just say that there was no one? I'll send it to the other homes first. It's almost there, it's almost there. The courier brother answered two sentences, and then he was silent.

Zhuang Baoli had no other way.

Luo Lanjun made a table of green dishes.

Zhuang Xuexia took two bites, put down her chopsticks, and urged Zhuang Baoli again, "Why hasn't the express delivery arrived yet?" ”

Zhuang Baoli was speechless, and he didn't urge Zhuang Xuexia to eat well like usual.

"The courier is coming, and you can only eat these today." Luo Lanjun saw through Zhuang Xuexia, "Then the Baojia Immortal is invited, and it will be enshrined for three days." ”

Zhuang Xuexia pouted and continued to get angry.

The doorbell rang, and it was like heaven for the Zhuang family.

Zhuang Baoli rushed to open the door with one arrow step, and took the express box with his hands and feet.

Zhuang Xuexia also jumped up.

Xiao Ming said that the Baojiaxian are very earthy, she searched the Internet, and also echoed the saying that the soil is more earthy than the talisman. But there is no fashionable way to exorcise evil spirits in China. Asking a priest to recite the scriptures abroad is just a change of local law.

As for the exorcism of the Ins wind, it is probably some way to believe in demons. Xiao Mingzhen introduced her to some magic arrays such as six-pointed stars and inverted five-pointed stars, and Zhuang Xuexia really tried, but failed to summon demons. Maybe it's because she didn't light candles and didn't use parchment - both of these things can be bought online, but Zhuang Xuexia didn't dare to mess around now, for fear of being discovered by her parents, so she entrusted Xiao Ming to help, but she didn't find a chance to go to Xiao Ming's house to cast spells.

Zhuang Xuexia can't care about the soil at this time, she just wants to finish things quickly and get rid of them quickly.

Zhuang Baoli took the box to the living room and took out the objects in it one by one.

Zhuang Xuexia stretched her neck to look, porcelain bottles, incense, and stoves...... Sure enough, it's good soil.

muttered so much in her heart, but Zhuang Xuexia was still full of expectations.

Zhuang Baoli finally took out a box and studied it carefully.

The box is the size of a palm, and the shell looks so thin that it shatters when you pinch it.

The top seal is pasted with yellow rune paper, and the ancient style drawings of stick figures are drawn around, as well as special-shaped fonts, which look decent.

Zhuang Baoli also cautiously looked at the bottom of the box and saw a red medal.

I couldn't make out what was engraved on the seal, because the pattern was more distorted than the alien characters around the box.

"Can you provide it?" Zhuang Xuexia urged.

"Well, that's what it means." Zhuang Baoli said.

Luo Lanjun had already sorted out a small table as an offering table.

Zhuang Baoli laid out a few things on the table.

Zhuang Xuexia had the opportunity to get closer and look at the paintings on the box.

The painting on the box is a ritual process.

Zhuang Baoli painted the gourd in the same way, and instructed Luo Lanjun to bring the basin at home.

The washbasin was washed and dried and placed on the floor in front of the table. There is also a cushion on the floor for Zhuang Baoli to kneel and worship God later.

Zhuang Baoli picked up the porcelain bottle, which was also only the size of a palm, unscrewed the stopper on the mouth of the bottle, and poured the bottle over.

Droplets of clear water flow out of the mouth of the bottle and fall into the basin, where they are all poured out in a short time.

There is only a shallow layer of water in the basin.

Zhuang Xuexia hurriedly said: "This is not enough, right?" ”

Zhuang Baoli put the porcelain vase away, and looked at the small picture on the wooden box, "It should be like this." ”

The small picture is a man kneeling in front of a wooden basin and burying his face in the wooden basin.

You can look at the pouring action of the previous painting, according to the understanding of ordinary people, the basin should be filled with water, and the next step is to bury your face in the water.

With such a shallow layer of water, it always feels wrong.

"Is there less water to be given?"

"It's impossible...... Zhuang Baoli was uneasy, and said, "I'll ask that Master Niu." ”

He took out his mobile phone and called Niu Haixi, but no one answered, so he had to leave a message for Niu Haixi.

"What now? Why does that master always not reply to messages. Zhuang Xuexia complained.

"The masters are very busy." Zhuang Baoli defended weakly.

"You don't look at it when you pour. Things don't check and check it. Zhuang Xuexia complained again, "How can such a small bottle fill this basin?" The next step is to bury your face in the water, right? As she spoke, she leaned over to the wooden box and looked at the painting on it.

"I didn't expect it either...... There are no smaller pots in this house. Who knew it would take a pot ......," Zhuang Baoli argued.

"Wait, look!" Luo Lanjun suddenly pointed to the basin and shouted.

I saw that the water, which was only a shallow layer just now, had grown a lot at some point.

"Huh?!" Zhuang Baoli and Zhuang Xuexia were dumbfounded.

Zhuang Xuexia muttered: "Is it heat expansion and cold contraction?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuang Baoli calmed down again and glanced at Zhuang Xuexia, "I don't read well, and I always talk nonsense." ”

Zhuang Xuexia shrunk her neck. I don't know if it's because I'm always worried about the New Year these days, she suspects that Zhuang Baoli means something.

Did Zhuang Baoli already know that her words were heard by her cousin's fiancée?

Zhuang Xuexia was a little flustered and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhuang Baoli didn't care about her, just stared at the basin.

"Husband, do you want to take the next step?" Luo Lanjun reminded.

Zhuang Baoli leaned his head again, looked at the patterns on the surface of the wooden box, and gritted his teeth, "Well, go on." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the basin, folded his hands, bowed to the wooden box, lowered his body, and landed his palms on either side of the basin.

Zhuang Baoli took a deep breath, held back, and buried his face in the basin.

His face was not touching the water, but was just close to the surface.

So close, he could see better.

The water is rising!

Zhuang Baoli's eyes widened.

The surface of the water approached his face, touched the tip of his nose, and continued to rise.

Zhuang Baoli subconsciously closed his eyes.

Water rushed to his face, covering his entire face.

Luo Lanjun and Zhuang Xuexia on the side grabbed their hands together. Both mother and daughter saw the water in the basin gushing out, and Zhuang Baoli's entire face was submerged in the water. The hands that were originally supported on both sides were forced, the back of the hand was arched, the green tendons were exposed, and Zhuang Baoli's body was trembling slightly.

The water no longer rises.

Luo Lanjun was nervous, but also came to the wooden box to look at the painting on it.

Zhuang Xuexia was grabbed by Luo Lanjun and bit her lip, "Next, what are you going to do next?" ”

She had seen it herself, but her brain was blank at the moment.

"Then it's time to get up and say goodbye." Luo Lanjun said.

The picture is simple, but the steps are detailed and clear.

Luo Lanjun called Zhuang Baoli.

Zhuang Baoli is still buried in the basin.

"Dad?" Zhuang Xuexia screamed in fear.

Zhuang Baoli remained motionless.

"How...... Father? Zhuang Xuexia shrank back in fright.

How long has Zhuang Baoli been buried in it? Can he hold his breath for that long?

Luo Lanjun let go of Zhuang Xuexia's hand.

Zhuang Xuexia grabbed it in the air.

Luo Lanjun had already bent down and pushed Zhuang Baoli's shoulder.

Zhuang Xuexia held her breath.

"W-ha!" Zhuang Baoli stepped forward and threw off the water.

He sat down on the ground, gasping for breath and unable to kneel.

"Husband, are you alright?" Luo Lanjun hurriedly asked.

Zhuang Baoli waved his hand with a pale face.

He looked like he was choked by the neck by an evil spirit that night and died for the rest of his life.

Zhuang Baoli touched his neck, feeling suffocated, so he pulled down the high collar.

"Oops!" Luo Lanjun exclaimed in surprise.

Zhuang Xuexia was dumbfounded, "Dad, the palm print on your neck!" Yes! ”

The palm print on Zhuang Baoli's neck disappeared.

Zhuang Baoli couldn't see it himself, but when he heard the joyful tone of his wife and daughter, he also pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Next step, next step!" Zhuang Xuexia shouted.

Zhuang Baoli nodded, knelt down again, folded his hands in front of the wooden box, and bowed, before being helped up by Luo Lanjun.

Light incense and chant sutras.

The scriptures were forwarded by Niu Haixi from Wu Dao.

Zhuang Baoli held his mobile phone and recited word by word.

A few days ago, he received this scripture forwarded by Niu Haixi, and during this time, he recited it a lot, and he was also fully prepared to recognize all the rare words.

When the scriptures are read, it's all over.

The water in the basin disappeared at some point.

"Why did you hold back for so long?" Luo Lanjun cleaned up the basin.

Zhuang Baoli's expression was a little unnatural, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a distraction all of a sudden......"

"Is it scared? We could all see the water coming out of the water. Luo Lanjun asked.

"Hmm."

Zhuang Xuexia, who was standing in front of the offering table and carefully studying the special-shaped characters on the wooden box, couldn't help laughing when she heard this question and answer.

Zhuang Baoli couldn't laugh, his face was heavy.

"Hey, don't think about it. This worship has been worshipped. All you need to do tomorrow is chanting, right? Luo Lanjun persuaded, "It will be fine then." ”

Zhuang Baoli also changed the topic, "I will read it for two more days, and in the future, I will bow every fifteenth day of the new year." It's these tributes, what Master Niu said about rootless water...... We catch the rain ourselves and don't know if it's okay. And the lotus scent ......"

"Just buy it from him. The more expensive it is, the more expensive it is. "Roland-kun asks for safety.

Zhuang Baoli nodded.

Zhuang Xuexia took out her mobile phone and wanted to take a photo of the wooden box for Xiao Ming and Xia Menghui to see.

Zhuang Baoli scolded: "What are you doing? Don't break the seal! Master Niu told us a thousand times, let us be careful! ”

Zhuang Xuexia's hands trembled, and she was a little angry, "Just take a photo......"

"You don't mess around. Alright, you can go back to your room and do your homework. "Zhuang Baoli drove people.

Zhuang Xuexia was reluctant, but she could only stomp back to the room.
