Chapter 109: There are demons and ghosts in Changjing City
"...... Uproar"
As soon as he twisted the handkerchief, all the dirty water fell into the bucket.
Song You continued to squat on the ground, wiping the planks on the second floor.
At this time, it feels quite delicate.
Every time I do this kind of housework, it seems to be like this-
Before doing it, I was very resistant, once I started it, I would feel that I was not tired, and I could even get a little sense of accomplishment from it, a little refreshment, and I couldn't stop.
It wasn't until he wiped the entire wooden plank on the second floor and lifted the dirty water down and poured it out that Song You returned upstairs.
So the Taoist sat on the couch by the window, and the three-flowered cat lay on the rocking chair, watching the water on the wooden board gradually evaporate, and the color gradually changed from dark to light and bright, from wet to dry.
"Let's get started."
"Good!"
"Knock ......"
A dry and somewhat brittle ball fell to the floor, and then a shadow of a suit rushed over like lightning, and made a muffled sound on the board, she caught the ball, latched it back into the Taoist's hand, turned around and ran back to the place where she received the ball, staring intently.
The Taoist throws a ball.
The cat jumped up to pick it up.
Until there was a knock on the door downstairs.
"Bang Bang ......"
"Brush!"
The three-flowered cat almost flew up, holding the ball with its two front paws, and after it fell, it turned its head to look out the window:
"Someone banged on the door."
A tone of urgency.
Then he put down the ball, jumped on the coffee table on the long couch by the window, leaned half of his body out of the window, and looked down.
A woman looked up at her.
The three-flowered cat retracted and looked at the Taoist:
"It's next door."
"Okay."
Song You then walked downstairs.
When I opened the door, it was indeed Wu Nuxia who was standing at the door.
The woman took a few steps back, looked up at his newly bought three-sided shop sign, looked at it seriously, and then lowered her head and asked him, "What is written?" Road? What evil what? Rid of rats? ”
"Exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, get rid of rats and worries."
"What is rodent control? Catching rats for someone? ”
"Sanhua Niangniang is good at this."
"It's kind of interesting."
Wu Nuxia lifted the thing in her hand, which was wrapped in oiled paper, wrapped with a straw rope: "I came back and passed by, it smelled very fragrant, I bought a roast chicken, set up a partner, and by the way, I will introduce you to a single business." ”
"Come in and say."
"Haven't cooked yet?"
"Not yet, just busy."
Wu Nuxia was not polite and had already stepped in.
The roast chicken is placed on the table.
You can faintly smell the fragrance.
Half an hour later.
Song You fried the tofu cubes he bought in the afternoon into two sides of yellow, boiled an egg and vegetable soup, added a small plate of pickles, and two bowls of rice.
The small square table is very small, and one person sits on each side, and two people are very crowded.
The woman sat opposite and tore the chicken.
The color of the roast chicken is just right, and the inside is very messy, and the meat is gently torn by hand, and even some parts do not need to be extra hard in the process of tearing, the meat and bones are automatically separated, and the chicken that can be seen clearly is more appetizing than the cut out, and it is much more casual.
"I'm taking advantage of you."
"What's cheap? It's just a buddy! When I came back and walked halfway, I remembered that my rice was finished, and I was a little tired today, and I was too lazy to buy it, so I had to come to your house to borrow a bowl of rice to eat. The woman continued to tear and said, without raising her head, "And speaking of which, it is still my blessing." ”
"How?"
"Hmmm......"
The woman thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's hard to say." ”
Anyway, when this Taoist priest didn't come before, she watched roast chicken for sale on the side of the road, smelled fragrant, and felt greedy, but living here alone, although the person next door knew each other, was a friend of the master when he was young, and took care of and helped herself, but she was too old and naturally not so comfortable to get along, so many times she would not buy it.
It's not that you can't finish it alone.
It's just a little bit of a debt.
Now there is a personal partner, although it is not enough to make friends and have deep feelings, but it can also be regarded as speculation, and I can chat a few words during dinner, so I almost didn't think much about it, so I paid for it, and after buying it, I found that today's money is much more refreshing than in the past.
"Let's eat!"
The woman wiped her hands and picked up chopsticks.
Grab a piece of meat and taste it first, and at the same time say to Song You: "Didn't you say last night that you would exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons?" Today, I happened to hear that a man from a family had been evil, saying that it was okay to come back at night, and I don't know why I started to have a high fever early this morning, talking nonsense, trembling, and shouting Don't hurt me...... This roast chicken is really good, and it tastes good. I haven't woken up yet. ”
Song You also tasted it.
There is no spice smell, so it is not fragrant enough, but it does taste good, and the inside of the chicken thighs and chicken breasts can taste salty, unlike the roast chicken that I ate in Xiangle County before, only the outermost layer has a taste.
"Thank you, Woman!"
"Don't thank you, anyway, I'll take over the business for you, you should be a person who can walk with An Qingyanzi, there should be no problem, right?"
"Check it out."
"I guess I'll come to you tomorrow morning, but I didn't come to look for me."
"Okay."
Song You lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
After eating, the woman clapped her hands and left, but she was very free, Song You cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to bed early.
The next morning, someone was looking for it.
She is a middle-aged woman.
This line is similar to Langzhong, the young one is naturally not trusted, and this woman is asking Song You if your master is not there. But when they came, Song You told her that she would not charge money until people woke up, and she also took Song You to her house with hope.
When I went out, I met a woman who was buying rice.
The two said hello and went their separate ways.
The woman's home was also in the West Side, but it was far away, and it took more than half an hour to walk there.
Song You asked the woman as he walked.
Knowing that the male owner of her house was a wandering gardener, some nobles in Changjing City did not raise gardeners in their houses, and ordinary family servants were not good at craftsmanship, so they specially invited people like him to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Although I came back a little late that night, I didn't break the curfew, and when I came back, I was fine, but I couldn't get up the next day.
Song You followed her into an alley.
The alley is a slope.
An old woman poured dirty water on it, and the water kept flowing down, and the Taoist, the woman, and the cat hurriedly got out of the way.
A child peed on the wall, and the three-flowered cat leaned over, tilted its head and glanced at it, and immediately showed a disgusted expression, and its paws were raised, as if it wanted to slap him.
There were dirty old dogs lying on the side of the road basking in the sun, even though only a small ray of sunlight shone into the alley.
The woman stopped at a wooden door.
It is not easy to live in Changjing City, this is just a bungalow, a very small room, and there is only such a room. Not only to live people, but also to stack tools, fire cooking is also here, convenient can only rely on the toilet at the foot of the wall to solve, the smell in the house is not good.
Most of the poor families in Changjing are like this.
The bed is on the left hand side of the door.
The cat had a keen sense of smell and sniffed a few times, but when he saw Song You walking in, he immediately followed in.
Song You didn't think there was anything, so he took a closer look.
A thin middle-aged man, lying on the bed sweating, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he twitched from time to time.
Song You could see at a glance that the ectopic soul was usually caused by fright, which was similar to that of the children in Xuzhou, but the adult soul was stronger, and it was not easy to get lost when frightened.
If you are proficient in this way, you may be able to see if you have demonic and evil yin qi on your body, so as to judge what you are frightened by.
He is also a hard-working person......
Song You sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his face casually, and asked:
"I heard he's talking nonsense?"
"I didn't shout now, I was shouting yesterday."
"Say what?"
"Shout for mercy, don't eat me."
The woman was anxious, but she had no choice but to answer truthfully.
Originally, she felt that such a young Taoist was not very reliable, but in Changjing City, what other way did a poor family like them have?
I can't afford to take medicine for a few days.
I can't afford to go to the temple to invite the master.
Otherwise, you can only wait for death.
And this gentleman not only came empty-handed, he didn't see any magic weapons and talismans with him, and when he entered the house, he didn't see any preparations, except for a cat that was extraordinarily spiritual, and he really didn't look like an exorcist master.
When he was anxious, he saw the gentleman put down the handkerchief on his hand, leaned over and blew:
"Hoo ......"
Unlike Taoist priests, not like monks, not like the folk gentlemen who have all kinds of strange methods in the story, they only blow out a breath, but like the monsters or gods in the story.
However, the strange thing is that when this breath was exhaled, the room seemed to be much cooler all of a sudden, and the person lying on the bed immediately stopped convulsing, and his lips stopped trembling, as if he had suddenly quieted down.
"Mr. ......"
"It's just frightened, it's already well."
"Okay?"
The woman looked at the person on the bed and couldn't believe it, but now the room was so cold that she couldn't help but believe it.
"That'...... When will I wake up? ”
"In one day."
"That'...... This ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Just ......"
The woman was slumping and spitting, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Song You almost knew what she meant.
Sometimes, even if it's simple, it's easy to distrust people with a simple and efficient approach.
Song You also thought about making it more complicated, maybe making more money. But the reason of making more money could not impress him, and if he made it more complicated for the sake of gaining the trust of others, he would either toss himself or the poor family, and he did not want to toss himself or them.
"After waking up, try to eat something good and replenish your body, and that's it." Song You whispered softly to her, "Wait until you wake up and send money, you know where I live." ”
"This ...... Is this good? ”
"Good."
"How much does it cost?"
The woman's tone was cautious, and her heart was worried.
"You can do as much as you want." Song You smiled at her and said, thought about it, and added, "Since you are not a rich and noble family, you can just pay for a meal in Xiaguan, but you can wait until you wake up." ”
“……”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and just asked for something, but found that the man on the bed had already woken up.
"Oops!"
The woman didn't think much about it, and knelt down towards Song You with a pop, and when she was excited, she didn't care about anything else, only chanted the word immortal.
Of course, Song You didn't dare to accept this big gift, but he also stayed here for a while.
It was only when the woman fed the man on the bed a sip of water that the man had come to his senses a little before he asked, "Do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?" ”
The man thought for a while before he spoke.
The east city and the west city are far away, and the dignitaries and nobles who have mansions often live in the east city, sometimes going out to work in the afternoon, and often coming back very late.
In the past, there was no curfew, and the city was relatively peaceful, and occasionally there were people in the rivers and lakes or anyone else fighting, making trouble or even committing murder, and it would not embarrass them as ordinary people, but the last few days have been different, and the fierce demons and evil things are just looking at people, and they may also affect people.
After finishing the work the day before yesterday, it was a little dark when he came back, passing by an alley, there were a lot of bamboos growing on both sides of the alley, and when he passed by, he heard a faint movement in the bamboo, he was a little scared, but the bamboo was attached to the courtyard wall of a large family, and it was not a forest itself, and there was no space to accommodate monsters or people, probably wild cats and wild dogs, and he didn't care much, only walked a little faster.
In the middle of the night, when I got up to relieve myself, I faintly heard movement outside, and I couldn't help but be curious, and looked through the crack in the door.
"What a big monster!
"It's scary!!
"It's looking at me too!!"
The man is still scared when he thinks about it now.
Song You had no choice but to persuade him not to get excited.
