Chapter 35: Joyful Wine
When Lu Xiaolong said this, his tone was a little shy: "Mr. Xu, can you ...... Can you help us and help us collect that sedan chair? If it is allowed to continue, there will be no one left in this city. β
Sun Tuzi is rough-looking, but he is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, at this time he already has a good impression of Lu Xiaolong, and immediately said to me:
"Why don't we piggyback on that hellish sedan chair?"
I gave him a look, "Let's find Dabao first." β
Unlike Sun Tuzi, the sedan chair that Lu Xiaolong said could absorb yin qi, I have not only heard of it, but also seen it with my own eyes.
That day, when I followed Jinghai's guidance and went to the cemetery to find the white porcelain columbarium, I just bumped into the ghost sedan chair head-on, and then listened to the tomb keeper Fang Qiqi roughly told the origin of the sedan chair.
I don't think I'm a warm-hearted and wealthy person, but I don't look at some things coldly. What's more, this Chenghe Town is only separated from my house by a river, including Lu Xiaolong, the ghosts in this town are all my neighbors.
But I know better in my heart that most of the yin sedan chairs are manipulated by demons, and they are not easy to deal with, and secondly, the first task in front of the eyes is to find Dou Dabao.
Seeing Lu Xiaolong's sad face, Bai Jing couldn't help but ask, "I think you've been a ghost for some years, why don't you move away like everyone else?" Or I ask more directly, why don't you go to reincarnation? β
Lu Xiaolong glanced at her a little sneakily, lowered his head and said nothing.
I coughed dryly and pretended to explain to Sun Lu:
"After death, people are not reincarnated in a short period of time. It's like a living person going out to take a train, and when they go to the underworld, they can be regarded as arriving at a transit station. Even if you are no longer a lonely ghost and have no worries in your heart, you still have to wait for the 'next train' to come before you can reach your next destination. During this time, the oni are not allowed to move at will. This is the same as people who have a fixed identity and household registration, once they leave their homeland, they will become lonely ghosts again. β
Sun Lu immediately asked, "Then how can the other ghosts move away?" β
I raised two fingers: "One, the living move the bones of the dead ghosts, that is, the graves; Second, there are close relatives in the yang world who move to other places, and dead ghosts can go to relatives. β
Sun Lu scratched his head, "Isn't this similar to our household registration system over there?" β
Bai Jing couldn't help but ask Lu Xiaolong again, "You don't have any relatives in the yang world?" β
Lu Xiaolong shook his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's gone, it's all gone." β
Listening to Lu Xiaolong, we learned that when he was alive, he was originally engaged, but before he got married, he found out that his fiancΓ©e had an improper relationship with another man. He was already young, and after such a blow, although he did not seek death, he also became very depressed, and lived like a wandering soul all day long.
Because he couldn't concentrate on anything, he accidentally touched the electric door during maintenance construction, and by the time the master who took him swept him away with a bamboo pole, the person was already hopeless.
He is the only seedling in the family, his parents can't bear the blow of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, and within a few years, he died one after another, even if there are a few distant relatives, no one remembers him anymore, let alone moving his grave and the like.
After listening to him, Bai Jing was silent for a while, then spoke again, first asked him how long he had been dead, and then asked again: "You have been a ghost for so long, it is said that you should be able to take a 'car' to the next station?" β
I finally couldn't help but wave my hand, "There's always a reason why he doesn't go to reincarnation, so don't ask again." β
I have found out that no matter how rational she is as a lawyer, she can't get rid of the gossip nature of women. Moreover, I also found that she was a bit ignorant of the world.
Lu Xiaolong didn't go to reincarnation, naturally there was a reason, and it was mostly related to his identity as a green-headed ghost and his experience before his death. How can such a matter involving a man and a woman be said casually through the mouth of a man?
Sun Lu also realized this, and changed the topic and said: "This Chenghe Town is really big, I remember, from the tombstone where the incense burner is inserted with chicken feathers, to the place where we came in, it shouldn't be far away?" β
A strange brilliance suddenly flashed in Bai Jing's eyes, "It's almost there!" β
Sun Lu glanced at her and asked me in a low voice, "How did she know that she was almost there?" β
I whispered: "She is a disciple of the horse, the Hu family is here to smoke, the Yin family (wolf) is here to serve meat, the ghost is serving clear water, and the Bai family is offering fruits...... She asked the immortal family to help find the soul before, and used a whole bottle of Moutai. The one who is enshrined with spicy (wine) is naturally the Huang family. β
Sun Lu reacted, and his expression became a little strange: "No wonder, the weasel greets the chickens for the New Year...... She smells the smell of the 'little enemy'! β
I asked him to talk less nonsense, and his disqualified speech may not make the immortal family care, but if he commits Bai Jing's taboo and offends this aunt, most of them will not have good fruit for him to eat.
Sun Lu stuck out his tongue, and just wanted to say something more, Lu Xiaolong suddenly said, "It's here, it's the family in front." β
In fact, I don't need to say it, I can already see the difference in the family he is referring to.
It's not that the house has any lanterns and decorations for happy events, it's just a little taller than the other 'houses' here. However, before I got closer, I could see that the house was full of ghosts and fires inside and outside, and it was obviously more lively than other places.
This is already very conspicuous and special in the deserted Chenghe Town.
Bai Jing pulled me to stop and asked cautiously, "What should we do later?" β
I felt that her prudence was very necessary, and I emphatically said to Sun Lu:
"We're here to find Dabao, and when we see the side later, we will pretend not to see it, and we must not be rash. Once you find Dabao, turn around and go back immediately, and never cause trouble. β
Sun Lu agreed, I still don't feel very solid in my heart, but when it comes to the end, I can only take one step at a time.
I asked Lu Xiaolong what was the surname of the family that held the 'happy event', and then asked him a few more questions.
When he was about to come to him, Lu Xiaolong cowered and said, "I brought the road, I won't go in, and when you come out, I'll take you back." β
"Why don't you go in with you?" Bai Jing once again highlighted her gossip instinct.
Lu Xiaolong looked very embarrassed, and said, "Drinking wedding wine is a courtesy, I didn't ...... Didn't ......."
Sun Lu patted him on the arm, "It's done, now I know what your name is, and when I go back, I will burn more paper money for you." β
I looked at Lu Xiaolong, who was still a little unnatural, and said with a smile: "You kid is not true? You don't dare to drink this wine, I'm afraid it's not just that you can't afford to pay for the gift, right? β
