Chapter 43: You Make the Small One
Zhou Zhongqing didn't need Miss Ghost to help him with needlework.
What does she know, torn pants are a man's romance, when you wear them, the comfort level is incomparable to new pants, anyway, it's not like Superman to wear pants outside, and if they are broken, they don't bother to change them.
"You don't have to collect this for me, I'll collect it myself."
"Zhong Qing, don't worry, I won't secretly attach myself to my pants."
“…… I didn't think about it that way at all, but it's weird that you think this way, right?! ”
"I—No!"
Bai Yueying blushed, put the clothes that had been folded into the house on the sofa, and went downstairs to find out if there was any other housework to do.
Now that this is also her home, the mentality of the previous guests has quietly changed, and when they are active at home, they are much bolder.
It's still early, Zhou Zhongqing is busy with her own business on the second floor, so she walks around the first floor by herself.
Seeing the tablet of Zhou Zhongqing's parents and some incense on the table, Bai Yueying thought about it and picked up three sticks of incense and lit them.
"Hello uncles and aunts, I'm Bai Yueying, Zhong Qing said that I can take this place as my home, and I will live with Zhong Qing Xiao Yumang in the future, I, I will also take care of this family, uncle and aunt rest assured......"
Reverently making a wish, Bai Yueying carefully inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, and then bowed to the spirit card.
It is common for a living person to worship the deceased, but it is also a deceased, and it seems somewhat outrageous to worship the other two deceased.
Bai Yueying didn't know that this charm didn't conform to the rules of the world, she just felt that she should also talk to her uncle and aunt, although they were gone, but she didn't want her uncle and aunt to feel that there was an impolite guest living in the house.
It is also miraculous, after she finished this pillar of incense, she felt that she was more in line with this home, and it stands to reason that the incense should be floating, but at this time it was very magically floating to her side, like a welcome, circling around her for a while, before slowly dissipating.
It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the late summer sun is shining down on the yard.
The yard is not big, but it does not seem lonely, there is a fence around it to separate the outside world, there are some vines crawling in the corner, and there are several flower pots in the place, but they are usually neglected, and the flowers and plants grow relatively sloppy.
There is a big water tank next to a few pots of flowers and plants, this water tank is very antique, a very large one, it was left by Zhou Zhongqing's grandfather, it used to store water, and now there is tap water, and the water tank has lost its original role of storing domestic water, but it is still full of water, which is used to water flowers or something on weekdays.
Bai Yueying lay on the side of the water tank and looked at it, there are still two bowl lotus trees planted here, lotus leaves floating on the water, and a beautiful little lotus blooming on it.
There was a sudden ripple on the surface of the water, and Bai Yueying was surprised to find that there were fish in the tank, and she looked at it curiously, and determined that it was three small goldfish, two red and one black, and she didn't pay attention to it when she scooped water here yesterday.
Xiao Mang came out of the house at some point, and with his big fluffy tail, he walked with cat steps, jumped lightly, and stood precisely on the edge of the narrow water tank.
The little goldfish couldn't see the white moon firefly, but they could see the cat by the water tank, so they floated to the surface and spat bubbles.
"Lord Mang is so powerful! You're not afraid to accidentally jump into the tank! ”
Bai Yueying amazed and expressed her admiration for the little fat cat's skills, and wanted to reach out and touch it, but Lord Mang was very cold, didn't touch her, jumped lightly, and jumped from the side of the water tank to the stone table next to her, lazily lying down in the sun, licking her little paws and paws to wash her face.
There is land, flowers, sunshine, and idleness, and these elements are gathered together to activate the unique planting instinct of the Chinese people.
Seeing that there were a lot of weeds growing in the yard, Bai Yueying squatted down to pull the weeds.
The plucked grass is piled up in small piles and then held and thrown into the trash.
When she is working, it will consume her mana, and like physical strength, consumption will cause fatigue, but Bai Yueying is happy to do it.
When the weeds in the yard were almost cleared, she took another water scoop, scooped some water from the water tank, and ran to the four garlic she'd planted yesterday to water the garlic.
I don't know if she remembered it by mistake or how it dripped it, but she felt that the sprouts on the garlic were much taller than yesterday.
A spoonful of water is poured down in turn, and the small moist land takes on a different color from the surrounding land.
After watering the garlic, she took two more spoonfuls of water and watered the pots of sloppy flowers and plants.
The flowers and garlic were happy, and the little goldfish in the tank were not happy, and they all floated to the surface of the water to spit bubbles to protest against the reduction in water.
When Bai Yueying was busy working, a little girl's childish voice came from behind her-
"Crooked, that ghost sister."
“……”
Bai Yueying turned around and saw the little fat cat lazily lying on the stone table looking at her, and there was no one else nearby, so naturally it was talking.
"Ghost Sister...... Is Mang-sama calling me? ”
"Otherwise."
"You—You call me sister?!"
Bai Yueying was stunned, a little unconvinced: "Although I don't remember my age, I must be older than you, you should call me sister." ”
"Lord Mang came before you, first come, first come, you can only be small!"
"But I'm still older than you."
"You can only be small, and Master Mang is much bigger than you."
"Okay."
Bai Yueying is not as knowledgeable as a kitten, and for girls, it seems that it is not bad to be younger.
She admitted it so happily that Xiao Mang was stunned.
"How did you die?" Xiao Mang said curiously.
"I don't remember ......"
"Can this be forgotten?! So how long have you been dead? ”
"I don't remember ......"
After all, she is forgetful, Bai Yueying has never had any concept of time, anyway, day by day has passed, and it is only when she meets Zhou Zhongqing that her perception of time becomes clear.
"Is it seven days?"
"Not only eh, but at least for many, many days."
“…… It's weird! ”
The little fat cat is also confused when it sounds, it doesn't have to study, it doesn't have to go to work and don't need to study on weekdays, its brain has become stupid, and it feels tired when it thinks about it, and after yawning, it lies down again, and lazily turns over, letting the sun bask on the other side.
"What's strange?"
"It stands to reason that after you die, your soul will be reincarnated, even if you stay in the world, it will definitely not exceed seven days, and there will definitely be a bad luck to take you away."
"Yincha?!"
"Haven't you seen it?"
"There is no ......"
“…… It's weird! ”
But after hearing Xiao Mang say this, Bai Yueying's face also hung with sorrow, if she had changed before, she would have to clap her hands when she heard that there was a bad luck coming to arrest her, but now her mind has changed unconsciously, thinking that if she is taken away by the yincha, she will never see Zhong Qing again, thinking that he will be sad, she will also be sad.
"Why, what should I do, if there is really a bad luck to take me away, I don't really want to go......"
“……”
The little fat cat turned around again, looked at her with blue eyes, and said for a while: "Don't worry, since Zhong Qing said that we are a family, even if it is your sister, Lord Mang will protect you." ”
"Can Xiao Mang protect me?"
"It's Lord Mang."
The little fat cat corrected: "Lord Mang's mana is boundless. ”
"But Lord Mang, I can't even kill me, eh......"
"Well, that's in bad shape!!"
Anyway, when she heard that the unreliable Lord Mang would also protect her, Bai Yueying also felt a sense of security in her heart, if there was really that time, Zhong Qing would definitely protect her, she suddenly felt the meaning of home.
While they were talking, they heard the sound of small footsteps running fast outside the yard, and Miss Ghost and the cat were silent.
When I looked up, the little Lori with the schoolbag on her back trotted all the way back.
"Oh yes! I don't have to go to class tomorrow! ”
"Brother! I'm fat! ”
