Chapter 43 is your amulet(2/2)
Seeing that we were all former schoolmates, I mercifully told her some common folk ways to avoid evil spirits.
But when I think of how they plotted against Song Shanshan before, I no longer want to care about what happened next.
Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said, and their encounter with ghosts has nothing to do with me.
What's more, it's good to let them bump into ghosts, at least it can kill their annoying arrogance.
At night, traditional operas were being sung lively at the night market near my home.
There are moving figures on the stage, wearing red clothes and sleeves, and the gongs and drums below the stage are loud and clanging.
"I just had a chaotic mind and fell into the den of thieves like you. I was not able to get married for three years, and my parents were in tears. I taught you this unjust crime to bully the family..."
"Now I will tie the white silk around my neck, and you and I will go up to the blue sky and fall down to the underworld, and we will never see each other again in the next life and the next life -"
With the sound of a drum, the rich girl in red on the stage threw her white silk silk and danced her sleeves, her slender waist rotated several times, and finally ended up falling to the ground in a fish-lying posture.
"Good! Beautiful! This opera is really well sung!"
"Of course, we invited the provincial drama troupe to perform this time! If it hadn't been for Mr. Zhang's birthday, we wouldn't have seen such a wonderful performance! I heard that this opera singer is still a pillar of the provincial drama troupe.
, to watch one of her performances at the Grand Theater, you have to spend a lot of money to buy tickets!"
"To put it another way, being rich means being willful. I'll just invite this famous opera singer."
I picked out three fresh chickens from the roast chicken shop at the entrance of the night market, packed them up, and then went nearby to buy two portions of dried fruits.
Today's dinner started early, at five or six o'clock, but now I'm hungry again at eight or nine o'clock.
I expected that Shanshan would be as hungry as me right now, so I took advantage of the opportunity to go out to take out the trash and sneak over to do some shopping.
Fortunately, the night market in the suburbs is not far from my home. If you walk quickly, you can reach it in half an hour.
At times like nine or ten at night, it is the prime time when the night market is booming and has a large flow of people.
Now is the perfect time to buy something delicious.
"It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Little girl, would you like to buy a colorful rope or a sachet? Grandma also has home-brewed realgar wine here. Take a bottle back with you. Drinking it can remove toxins, relieve itching, and ward off evil spirits. Apply it on your body to prevent diseases.
Snakes."
Prevent snakes and insects?
I quickly pushed back the ceramic wine bottle handed over by the old lady, "No, no, no, I don't drink, and neither do my family members."
There are two monsters in the house. Wouldn't drinking this stuff kill the monsters?
Picking up the two peach stone bracelets in the small basket, I muttered to myself: "This is pretty much the same."
I specially picked out four good-looking peach stones and took them away: "I want this."
The old lady nodded kindly and gave me another five-color rope, "Peach stones are good! They ward off evil spirits! As the saying goes, a peach can suppress a hundred trees, and a core can suppress a thousand evil spirits. If you bring a peach stone during the Dragon Boat Festival, no lonely ghost will dare to come near.
body."
I took out my change and paid it to the old lady.
I was walking back carrying large bags of late-night snacks. On the way, the street lights on both sides of the highway suddenly went out.
The nearly full moon hangs high in the sky, and its bright moonlight shines on the earth, illuminating the road ahead for me.
Both sides of the suburban road are barren grasslands and loess piles half as tall as a man. There are scattered large trees planted on the roadside, and the shadows of dead branches cast on the white ground, like figures with weird postures.
I often walk this road in front of my house. I haven't seen any ghosts when walking at night before, so I feel at ease about it.
But tonight, I don't know if it was because the street lights were out, but I actually felt that this road was a bit eerie...a bit strange.
As I walked, thin smoke slowly rose in front of me.
The avenue under the moonlight looked smoky, endless, and indescribably strange.
The wind blew from behind, and the sound of singing on the stage in the distance could still be vaguely heard:
"We will never see each other again in heaven and earth. I remember our first meeting. Her green dress and red hairpin leave her youthful beauty. Now my wife has returned to Huangquan Road. It is difficult to see her again due to the separation of yin and yang. The old bronze mirror should still be there. I can't see my wife wearing her beautiful face. I regret all my mistakes.
It's too late, I can only remember you in front of the coffin..."
This one is called Crying Spirit.
This emotion and scene, coupled with the ethereal singing voice, is extremely strange.
I always felt something was wrong with this road, but I looked around and didn't see anything suspicious.
Could it be that we bumped into another monster?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously speeded up my pace. I even turned around and looked behind me frequently on the way, but I still didn't see anything.
After about five or six minutes, the wind blew and the mist on the road began to slowly dissipate.
The scenery ahead of the road became clearer and clearer. Although the street lights were still blind, the strange sense of urgency when the mist shrouded it before was no longer there.
It seems that I really think too much.
The wind rises and falls, and the fog rolls and disperses. It is a natural phenomenon.
The road back seemed to take a long time, but when I entered the house and looked at the time, it only took twenty-five minutes.
When people are afraid and nervous, they will indeed have many illusions.
After locking the courtyard door, I gave the supper to Song Shanshan who was foraging for food in the kitchen.
"Wow, you went out to the night market! Roast chicken, dried fruits! There are mangoes and dried kiwi fruits!" Song Shanshan held the hot supper in her hands and said excitedly with eyes shining: "Ranran, how do you know I'm hungry? Hey!
Hey, let me tell you, I regret eating too little for dinner!
As soon as I lay down on the bed, my stomach growled with hunger. I originally wanted to look for some food storage in the kitchen, but after searching for a long time, I only found two tomatoes. It would be awkward to eat tomatoes at night..."
I sighed happily: "Seeing that you only drank so many mouthfuls of rice soup at night, I knew you would be hungry in the middle of the night. I happened to be hungry too, so I went to the night market nearby and bought some roast chicken. I saw it in the night market.
A small shop that sells dried fruits. I remembered that you like to eat this kind of thing, so I brought some back."
Pointing to the things in Shanshan's arms, I said: "Two roast chickens, one for you and one for your little fox. I also bought two portions of dried fruit, one for you and one for me. And this.
.”
I took out the peach stone bracelet in my pocket and tied one on her: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so wear a peach stone bracelet to ward off evil spirits."
Another one was stuffed into her hand: "This is for your little fox."
Shanshan shook the peach core on her arm and gave me a big hug affectionately: "Ranran is the best, my beloved concubine wins my heart!"
Letting go of me, she took a deep breath of the aroma of the roasted chicken, and said happily: "Ranran is still thoughtful, and my Xiaohei also has one. But... you only have one chicken left, and you didn't give it to your family."
Does Lord Dragon bring it?
He's so stingy, he was jealous when you peeled peaches for me at noon, and if he knew that you brought Xiao Hei a chicken but didn't bring it to him, he would probably peel off Xiao Hei's skin again."
I said calmly: "Well... Actually, we can do half of it each."
Shanshan suddenly understood and showed me a sly smile: "Oh - I understand, I understand, young people just understand romance, tsk!"
Holding the roasted chicken in her arms, Shanshan anxiously rubbed oil on her feet before running away, "I have to go back first. I locked my fox in the room. It is clinging to me. It will start barking when I don't see you for a while. Your Dragon King
But right next door, his old man has been thinking about my fox’s fur lately, so I have to go back quickly to protect it!”
I waved to her helplessly: "Let's go, let's go."
"Then you should hurry up and go upstairs, don't let your Dragon Prince be lonely -"
"good."
Song Shanshan ran all the way into the main hall and went upstairs.
I stayed to help her deal with the aftermath, put the lid back on the pot, and closed the refrigerator.
Turning off the lights, I closed the door and entered the yard.
Just as I was about to go back to the building, I walked to the entrance of the main hall, and the two big spherical white lights in the yard suddenly turned on.
A black figure suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me.
As expected, it was Xuan Ye.
She was wearing a long dark silk nightgown, and her long black hair flowed lazily down her back.
The two long strands of hair on the forehead were blown up by the wind, giving her a seductive look.
Especially those blue eyes as deep as a well, accompanied by a soul-stirring power.
