People are outside.,The update is not helpful.,Please forgive me.,But I'll go home tomorrow!)

The house is not located in the middle of the village, but on the side of the mountain. Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the weather is bleak and a little dilapidated.

This is the ancestral home of the Huang family.

Huang Xiucai was admitted to Xiucai, and after his career, his family moved into the city, leaving this ancestral house here. Because it is an ancestral house, it is naturally reluctant to sell it. After the death of the old servant who was originally left behind, every night in the house, there was always some green light flickering inexplicably, and the villagers saw it, and they were shocked to think that it was haunted, and it spread all over the world, and no one dared to guard the door for the Huang family.

For this reason, Huang Xiucai was distressed, consulted Master Kong, and learned that someone had to live in it and raise his vitality in order to ward off evil spirits. It happened that Ye Junsheng begged to come to the door, so he had a thought in his heart and asked him to go, otherwise he would not agree to the guarantee.

I don't know if Ye Junsheng is stupid, or if he is bold and agrees.

Guarding the house is not as simple as living in it, and the daily repair and cleaning work must be carried out, otherwise the house will collapse and the responsibility will not be separated.

Although no one lives in the ancestral house of the Huang family, the walls and beams are very strong, and there is no problem in living in it.

Soon, Ye Junmei cleaned up the two adjacent side rooms, cleaned up the kitchen, and started to make a fire to cook with the rice he brought.

Ye Junsheng walked out, the sky was pitiful, and he found a few bushes of wild vegetables on the side of the mountain, but he recognized it, it was called "longevity vegetables", which could be eaten, so he pulled it back and washed it, and it was the dish of the night.

The light is dim and the food is shabby, but according to their current condition, they are actually happy to be able to eat dry rice.

The old cow was tethered to the small yard, but there was no shed, and it lay in the open air, grazing grass.

Carefully licking the last grain of rice in the bowl, Ye Junmei put down the rice bowl with a worried face.

Ye Junsheng saw it in his eyes, his heart was clear, and said, "There is not much food in stock." ”

Ye Junmei nodded.

Ye Junsheng sighed: just relying on his sister to do some work, he can only barely make ends meet, and if he wants to have a surplus, it is really difficult, and the remuneration he paid for copying scriptures last time, in addition to repairing the house, was basically used to improve the food.

Now guarding the house for Huang Xiucai belongs to the exchange of the other party to help him with insurance, without any remuneration.

Making money is a big problem; as for making some small inventions, starting a family from scratch, and so on, it is easy to think about, but at present it is a castle in the air, and it is impossible to ponder.

Originally, I still wanted to learn from a group of time-travelers to "steal books and get rich", but it is obvious that the fame of poetry and poetry requires chance; and novels, which are not elegant, cannot be sold for money -- in ancient times, why was "novel" not called "big talk", but the word "small", which originally contained the meaning of contempt.

As a result, many ideas can only be swirled in the mind and cannot be acted upon.

Since ancient times, scholars have been poor, and they are honest.

The night was extravagant, and the void bent a waning moon, sprinkling a cold light. Under the moonlight, the houses in the middle of the house look particularly bleak.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, Ye Junmei, who had washed his clothes by the stream, came back with a somewhat strange face.

Ye Junsheng asked, "Jun Mei, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jun's eyebrows hesitated slightly, and he said crisply: "Brother, when I went to wash clothes, some villagers told me that this house was haunted, and advised us to leave quickly......"

Ye Junsheng said: "There is indeed such a saying...... So how do you answer?"

Ye Junmei smiled slightly, and his good-looking eyes were bent into two crescents: "I said I'm not afraid." ”

A "not afraid", simply simple.

Ye Junsheng was a little surprised: "Why aren't you afraid?" The little girl's family, aren't they all the most afraid of ghosts and the like?

Ye Junmei said very seriously: "If my brother is here, I am not afraid." ”

Hearing this, Ye Junsheng's heart was sour, and he gently hugged her into his arms: "Junmei, it's my brother who is not good, and he didn't take good care of you." ”

Ye Jun's eyebrows were covered with a layer of water shadow: "Brother, don't say that, the current life is much better than before, and the future will be better." ”

Since the death of his father, leaving only their brother and sister to rely on each other, the elder brother at that time was a bookworm, locked in the study day and night, and did not listen to the outside of the window, and the burden of the whole family could only fall on her immature shoulders. After such a hard time, now that my brother has opened his mind and is self-motivated, what are you afraid of?

"Moo!"

The old cow next to him suddenly let out a chirp, looking very happy. Ye Junsheng was startled, and his eyes glanced over, and he was making contact with Lao Niu's gaze. In an instant, Ye Junsheng had the illusion that he was not facing a cow, but a person.

Could it be that it has been peeping just now?

This cow is not honest!

Ye Junmei's face was slightly red, he took off his brother's embrace, went to dry his clothes, and said, "By the way, brother, why don't we give Lao Niu a name." ”

Inexplicably, my brother came back with a cow, but she never asked much. And for this cow, I also feel very kind and liked.

Ye Junsheng smiled: "Okay, then what name do you say?"

"My brother reads a lot, so this name is naturally given by you. ”

Ye Junmei kicked the ball back.

Ye Junsheng was not hypocritical, he groaned slightly, and suddenly said: "It's better to be called 'Great Sage'." ”

"The Great Sage?"

Ye Junmei chewed on the name, although he didn't understand it very well, but he felt that it was very majestic and domineering, although it didn't match Lao Niu's current appearance, but since his brother had named it, it was a good name, so he nodded in agreement.

"Moo!"

The old cow suddenly stood up, as if he understood, and shouted vigorously, not knowing whether to express his joy or protest.

Ye Junsheng didn't care about it, and clapped his hands: "It's called the Great Sage." ”

This name not only contains some bad taste, but also carries a good wish. For the cow, in the previous life, what impressed Ye Junsheng the most was not the silent devotee in the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but the Bull Demon King, the Great Sage of Pingtian.

"The Book of Rites and Music": "Those who are happy and carefree, courteous and impartial, are only holy!"

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "The Buddha is the ultimate saint, so he is called the great saint." ”

Now, as soon as Ye Junsheng had an idea, the name of "Great Sage" fell on the head of a weak old buffalo.

After drying the clothes, Ye Junmei untied the rope, picked up the old cow, and said to Ye Junsheng: "Brother, I will lead the great sage to eat grass." ”

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Okay, be careful, don't go too far." "When I first came here, I didn't know the place well, and there were some situations that I had to pay attention to.

Ye Junmei said "um", led the cow out, and walked along the stream, looking for fresh grass.

"Look, that's the girl who came from the city to help Huang Xiucai guard the ancestral house, and she also has an older brother, who is a scholar, and lives in it together. ”

"The Huang family's ancestral house is haunted, aren't they afraid?"

"Who knows! I just reminded you...... This brother and sister are a little weird, and they still have a cow. ”

"It seems that they are also children of poor families, probably because Huang Xiucai has paid a lot......"

"What if you have money, don't give up your life......" After a pause, his voice was low: "The butcher Guo of Nancun said that he had seen with his own eyes the ghost that occupied the Huang family, with a green face and fangs, and could swallow a person ...... one bite."

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale, and when they looked at Ye Junmei, they suddenly had a lot of indescribable meanings.

Ye Junmei didn't hear their discussions, and when she saw a group of women washing clothes by the stream staring at her with burning eyes, she couldn't help but smile a little shyly, clean and elegant, like a water lotus flower that suddenly bloomed by the water.
