Chapter 19: Hell in the Day
Lively streets, bustling crowds, thriving roadside stalls.
Zhou Xiuchun stood in front of the gate of Changqing County, excitedly breathing in the air full of the smell of urine and urine, and couldn't wait to write the words "the rest of his life after the catastrophe" on his face.
Looking back at the thousand-year-old dryads, female ghosts and living corpses that he had met from last night to this morning, Zhou Xiuchun clenched his fists tightly and said firmly: "Although ordinary life will make people look like salted fish, if it has to be as exciting as yesterday, I would rather be a salted fish for the rest of my life!"
Ning Caichen stood next to Zhou Xiuchun with a book on his back, and a thick account book was still under his right arm.
Just when Zhou Xiuchun was sad and sad, and sighed about life, Ning Caichen couldn't help poking his back and asked in a low voice: "Zhou Daxia, did you come back with me, did you stay on the mountain because you had no face?"
The good mood suddenly vanished, Zhou Xiuchun turned around, put his hands on Ning Caichen's shoulders, looked directly into Ning Caichen's eyes and said: "Guorong, I have told you many times, I don't bother to learn those spell-breaking techniques at all, but it's just a few words, and the mentally handicapped can also memorize it, and one day my realm will improve, and no spell will be captured!"
"Really?" Ning Caichen shrank his neck and continued to look for a way that could not be changed, "But I clearly saw that you looked disappointed after you failed to cast the spell. β
"How disappointed you look?"
"It's like I'm about to cry. β
Zhou Xiuchun showed a dead fish expression and said, "Are you finished?"
Ning Caichen actually nodded, and made persistent efforts: "Of course I have it, but the crux of the matter is, why don't you admit it? Hero, please forgive me for talking too much, I think that as a man, we must have the courage to admit our mistakes and shortcomings, the so-called shame and courage, if you don't admit your mistakes, you can't make progress! Take the simplest example, huh...... Forget it, don't give an example! Just say you, if you can't do it, you can't do it, why bother pretending to be disdainful, if you really disdain, you won't be so disappointed. If I were you, I would definitely not go down the mountain, I would have to follow Yan Daxia until I learned it!"
Zhou Xiuchun was silent for a moment, let go of Ning Caichen, and said in a deep voice: "My room should not be enough to live in today......"
"You person, how can you talk not count!" Ning Caichen looked very angry and said, "When I went down the mountain, I obviously said that I would live in your house!"
Zhou Xiuchun raised his chin and said as a scoundrel: "Hmph, I will regret it, what can you do with me?"
"You...... You...... Hmph!" Ning Caichen flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left.
Zhou Xiuchun strode behind him, and after a while, he came to the inn where he lived before.
When the shopkeeper saw Ning Caichen walking into the inn, he frowned at first, but then when he saw Zhou Xiuchun standing behind Ning Caichen, he hurriedly changed his smiling face and said flatteringly: "Doctor Zhou, why are you here, rare guest!"
Ning Caichen turned his head unhappily and glanced at Zhou Xiuchun, and Zhou Xiuchun grinned.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, the shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, pointed at Ning Caichen and asked Zhou Xiuchun, "Doctor Zhou, this son, is it your relative?"
"It's not. Zhou Xiuchun said casually, "I met yesterday in Lanruo Temple and stayed together for one night, and he wants to stay at my house tonight." β
The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled: "You two ...... Stayed at Lanruo Temple yesterday for one night?"
After Ning Caichen heard Zhou Xiuchun agree again, he suddenly regained his good mood and replied with a smile: "Yes, I also killed a few evil ghosts this morning." β
"Ahh
As soon as the words fell, a woman's scream sounded in the store, and all the guests who were eating threw down their chopsticks and ran out of the store in a panic, and the lobby was full of chickens and dogs.
The shopkeeper, who has always been greedy for money, was even so frightened that he forgot to ask someone to collect the money, until the customers ran out, leaving a mess on the ground, he inhaled the cold air and said, "You...... Are you staying or eating?"
Ning Caichen put the account book on the counter, "I'll collect the accounts." β
......
Coming out of the inn with seventy taels of silver in his hand, Ning Caichen also completely ignored Zhou Xiuchun's past suspicions, and said: "Zhou Daxia, I have money now, please eat!"
Zhou Xiuchun hummed indifferently, and Ning Caichen said dissatisfiedly: "Zhou Daxia, you are too childish." I'm angry at every turn, I'm so naΓ―ve, I won't be able to find a wife in the future!"
Zhou Xiuchun really didn't have anything to do with Ning Caichen, sighed, and said, "If you insist on talking to me with this attitude of looking for smoke, I really won't have a room for you to live in at home." β
Ning Caichen smiled and said, "Zhou Daxia, don't lie to me, I know that you are a good person, and you will definitely be the talker." Let's go buy a painting first. β
"Buying paintings?"
Zhou Xiuchun was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recalled the beautiful woman washing her hair from the first part to the second part.
At this time, a burst of mourning music suddenly sounded in my ears. Zhou Xiuchun turned his head to look, and saw a funeral procession slowly coming over, holding two large white lanterns in the front row, with the word "Lay" written on the lampshade, followed by all kinds of relatives in white clothes and plain clothes, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, which was very grand. The leader of a Taoist priest wearing a Dharma robe, every few steps, will throw a lot of paper money all over the sky, the wind blows, the paper money floats all over the street.
The neighbors who were scared half to death by Ning Caichen came back at some point, and they all stood on both sides of the road to watch the bustle of the dead people, without the slightest taboo. Zhou Xiuchun was not surprised at all by the reaction of these people, when he first came, there were such teams in Changqing County almost every day, but looking at Ning Caichen's appearance at this time, there was something wrong.
Ning Caichen stared at the funeral procession with his eyes, concentrating, even more focused than when the rural old man watched the Yan (harmonious) dance performance, and when the paper man walked by in the middle of the procession, he suddenly shouted without warning: "Xiao Qian-!"
Zhou Xiuchun was taken aback, and hurriedly opened his eyes wide to look in the same direction, but he couldn't see anything supernatural at all.
What's going on? There is an entity for a while, and you can't even see a shadow for a while, and the ghosts of this world are too complicated, right?!
Zhou Xiuchun thought wildly, and the funeral procession had already walked past the door of the inn.
The mourning was far away, and the surroundings couldn't help but be a lot quieter.
Just when the lively onlookers were discussing whose family had died again, Ning Caichen shouted in a louder voice: "Xiaoqian-!"
The surrounding people suddenly fell silent and looked at Ning Caichen with shocked eyes.
Ning Caichen did not have the consciousness of being watched at all, he was still immersed in his own world, and after a pause, he ran to the middle of the road again, and continued to shout at the tail of the funeral procession: "Did you hear me call you? Don't go! Don't leave if you hear it!"
Hell in the day!
The crowd of onlookers finally blew up the nest.
Everyone turned around and ran, and suddenly several officials burst out of the oblique stabs, brandishing knives and shouting: "Whoever tells not to leave! Someone tells not to leave, there is a wanted criminal! Where is the wanted criminal!"
The officials rampaged, and soon dispersed the funeral procession.
Ning Caichen was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't move, but he still asked Zhou Xiuchun unwillingly: "Zhou Daxia, did you see that girl just now? It's the one we saw together last night." β
As soon as these words came out, the originally crowded crowd was suddenly withdrawn.
Zhou Xiuchun straightened out the crumpled clothes, pointed to the paper figure that was stuffed into Ning Caichen's arms in the chaos, and asked, "Do you mean this girl?"
"Ahh......h
Zhou Xiuchun patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, fate is such a thing, sometimes there is finally something in life, and there is no need to force it in life." β
"Hmm. Ning Caichen nodded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "She's so beautiful, I'm just a poor scholar, how can I expect any fate, I just want to see her more and talk to her more." β
