"You're the master here?" Ghost Cry frowned as he looked at the ordinary old man in front of him.

The heart beats weakly, the skin is dry and gradually loses its elasticity, the eyes are cloudy, the eyesight should not be very good, the teeth are black and yellow, some have fallen out, the hands and feet have calluses, the palms have crack-like furrows, it seems that there is no less heavy work, the nails are thick and yellow with black, and there is no less contact with the soil.

No matter how he looked at it, this old man was just like a mortal, and his whole body revealed the smell of aging.

"No, distinguished guest, Xiao Lao'er is the master's housekeeper, the master has gone far away, and he is not in the Zhuangzi, so he can't entertain him personally, please forgive me. ”

The second grandfather's words dispelled the doubts of the ghost cry, and the ghost cried and nodded: "It's okay, I'm just borrowing a night." ”

The second grandfather smiled: "Guest, please." ”

There was nothing to say all the way, the ghost cried and didn't want to say more, and the second grandfather could obviously see that the master was unwilling to provoke this guy, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to take the initiative, after all, there were many mistakes in saying too much.

The flower house is located in the eastern part of the village near the river, close to the outer wall.

Here is a sea of flowers, red flowers, white flowers, purple flowers in full bloom, on the trees on the ground flower beds and roadsides, all flowers, or enthusiastically blooming towards the sun, or shy hidden in the green leaves.

As soon as I got closer, I was greeted by a rich floral fragrance, and it seemed that the earth was also soaked in fragrance. Butterflies and bees are flying back and forth, very busy.

A red-haired and black-footed fox heard the sound, poked its head out, and then saw the ghost crying, and was so frightened that it hurriedly ran out, and fled away like an arrow from the string.

The second grandfather was also scared out of a cold sweat, and looked at Ghost Cry carefully, but it seemed that Ghost Cry didn't care, but admired the dazzling array of flowers left and right.

"Ahh

Running out with a big mouth, shuttling back and forth in the sea of flowers like joy.

After sneezing a few times in a row, the big black horse raised his head high, and his eyes immediately locked on the plump fruit hanging on the branches and hidden in the green leaves of the sea of flowers.

Then with a slight leap, he bit off the fruit and enjoyed it deliciously.

The second grandfather and Jixiang who followed him were taken aback at the same time, they didn't expect that this skinny skinny big black horse could jump so high with his luggage. It was evident that it didn't use all its strength to look at its relaxed appearance, but even so, it jumped higher than most horses in the world.

Jump up with all your might, I'm afraid I won't be able to jump on the roof.

Walk along the long gravel path through the sea of flowers, and you will be greeted by a harmonious flower building.

A paved courtyard paved with bluestone, a simple fence with vines overgrown with pale red flowers, and an ancient well covered with moss. On one side of the grape trellis, small flowers bloomed, pitiful and inconspicuous. The rudimentary swing was unoccupied, swaying slightly in the shade of the trees.

There is a small building in the courtyard, only two floors, delicate and tranquil, green wood for the wall, glazed green tiles, paper windows for painting poems, eaves wind chimes falling, the bell is crisp and pleasant, just like a young girl with a spring smile, looking forward to it, waiting for their arrival.

Behind the small building, there is a small pond, surrounded by rockery corridors and pavilions, the river is led over, lotus leaves, and colorful fish shuttle among them.

A slight cool breeze came from the pond, and suddenly, the heat became cool.

Pushing open the fence gate on the periphery, Ghost Cry walked in, then turned to the second grandfather and Jixiang behind him and said, "Go back quickly, don't get drenched in the rain." ”

The second grandfather nodded: "Let's leave immediately, the guests have a good rest, and later, there will be food delivered." ”

Speaking of this, the second grandfather paused, bowed and apologized: "There should have been a banquet to entertain, but the host is not there, so it can only be so, and I hope for Haihan." ”

This is not something that a farmer can say, but considering that this old man is the butler of the owner here, he must have come and gone to welcome guests on weekdays, and gradually, he learned these cumbersome etiquette and those crepe words.

"There is no need to apologize. The ghost cried and patted the big black horse and said: "I just hope that the food is grateful, my brother doesn't like to eat grass, he loves to eat meat, and there is less rice, but it is not enough to eat." ”

The second grandfather nodded in understanding: "Guests can rest assured." ”

"Let's go!" Ghost Cry waved again.

The second grandfather and Jixiang turned around and walked out, walked out of the sea of flowers, and muttered with uncertainty on Jixiang's face: "Second grandpa, that person is so rude." ”

When I walked all the way on the road, the second grandfather was supposed to lead the way in front, but as I walked, the ghost crying walked in front, which was one of the rudenesses.

Then, repeatedly speaking out to drive people away, this is the second rudeness.

The second grandfather paused, stopped, and turned around and scolded: "Shut up, what do you know?"

Jixiang was taken aback, very aggrieved, obviously it was the man......

"I know what's going on in your mind. The second grandfather squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Xiang viciously: "But you have to remember to me, trouble comes from the mouth, he can be the host's guest, naturally he has unreasonable qualifications, not to mention ......"

The second grandfather raised his hand, and on his sleeve, a drop of water appeared, and he looked up at the sky: "It's raining!"

Drops of rain fell to the ground, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dark clouds came from far and near.

Then, a gust of wind blew, and the two of them were bathed in flying flowers.

The second grandfather was not in good health, he was old and weak, he shook, and almost stumbled in the north wind.

"Let's go. The second grandfather's tone became urgent: "The rainstorm is coming." ”

Ji Xiang's face became frightened, it turned out that it was really going to rain, and he thought it was just a pretext for the ghost to cry.

And all the rudeness of the ghost crying before has become reasonable. Walk fast, that's to get to the shelter in time before the heavy rain. Repeatedly speaking out to drive them away is also because the heavy rain is coming.

What's more, since the heavy rain came so suddenly, there was no warning before, but it was detected by the ghost cry.

I couldn't help but feel fearful in Jixiang's heart.

If the other party can calculate in advance that there is heavy rain falling, will it be calculated that he is gossiping about the other party behind his back?

Actually, Jixiang guessed wrong. There were signs before the rain, but he didn't notice it, and the ghost cry spirit was extremely keen, even among the youkai were the keenest ones, so he caught the slightest sign before the rain.

"Jixiang, you melon baby, what are you still doing in a daze, let's go!" Looking at Jixiang who was stunned in place, the second grandfather's face turned red and he scolded.

He was old, the wind was too strong, and it was too dangerous to walk alone, and he had to be helped by someone. Also because he is old and can't get wet, let alone a rainstorm, it will simply kill him, and he doesn't want to die, so he is extremely anxious.

"Oh!" Ji Xiang reacted, and hurriedly helped the second grandfather to walk home.

Boom Boom Boom......

Thunder rolled overhead, and the wind with moisture poured into the room, and the ghost sat on the threshold, watching the rain outside, listening carefully to the bells in the wind.

This bell rings not only from the wind chimes under the eaves, but also from the bells on the handles.
