Record of Yin and Yang

In the inn room, Gu Jiu sat across from Shao Yi, watching Shao Yi eat longevity noodles.

Today is Shao Yi's birthday.

Speaking of which, Gu Jiu's mother died of dystocia, so his birthday is also the anniversary of his birth mother's death.But Shao Yi was even worse. His birthday was the same day as the death day of his master and the two patriarchs. At the same time, it was also the day of his mother's death. Mother, two years later, on the same day, he was taken away by a Taoist priest to feed the Yinlong, and then adopted by the master who lost his master, uncle and lover.

So both of them had no expectations for birthdays, Shao Yi didn't like birthdays even more than Gu Jiu, and he didn't like birthdays since he was a child.Even so, the brothers and sisters would still cook a bowl of longevity noodles for each other after worshiping according to what the master said every time.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Jiu asked while holding his face.

Gu Jiuhui deliberately rolled the noodles into one stick and cooked them directly into a bowl, telling Shao Yi not to bite them off until he finished eating.Shao Yi nodded with his face in his mouth, and hummed again.In fact, Shao Yi is in a good mood now, time can smooth everything out, he will remember what happened when he was a child and the culprit that caused it, but he will not indulge in sadness and anger.

The weather in early spring is already equivalent to summer for Shao Yi's physique, because the boiled noodles will inevitably fall off after a long time, so Shao Yi starts to eat the noodles when they are still hot. Eating hot food is very important for Shao Yi It was a bit uncomfortable, at this moment his nose was soaked with sweat, Gu Jiu reached out to wipe it off for him.

Gu Jiu said: "This year, Patriarch and the others will charge an extra sacrifice."

If there are people left in the Taoist temple, Bao Fugui will definitely have to offer sacrifices.In previous years, on their death days, besides the three masters and apprentices, some villagers at the foot of the Taoist Temple would offer sacrifices. Enough to last until next year.

But now that Gu Jiu and Shao Yi are quite able to earn money, the sacrifices prepared for them will only be more than in previous years.This is also very good, for example, they get a lot of sacrifices from their masters, and they can use them to build good relations with colleagues. It will be much easier to deal with things in the future, such as borrowing street signs for the New Year.

Although the relationship between Gu Jiu and Shao Yi is very close now, the way of getting along has not changed much except that it is a little stickier than before. That little, basically Gu Jiu said, he occasionally nodded or echoed.

After Shao Yi finished eating the noodles, he went to put the bowl away. When he came back, Gu Jiu was holding the money bag and pouring money on the table.The two of them have always been in charge of money by Gu Jiu. These days, they bought a lot of things for today's sacrifice and spent a lot of money. Gu Jiu habitually counted money once a day, so he knew it well.

When he counted money, he would call out the little mountain charmers, let them stay by, point to the silver coins and teach them what is a silver dime, what is a copper plate, and what is a silver ingot.Like ignorant babies, Xiao Shanmei are curious, but they can't remember it for a while.

After Gu Jiu interacted with them tirelessly every day, the dazed little mountain charmers finally responded to Gu Jiu. Faced with Gu Jiu's inquiries, the four little ones basically just pointed at them.Gu Jiu was not annoyed either, on the contrary, Gu Jiu felt that Xiao Shanmei had made great progress from nothing, and from no response to pointing at them now.

The younger brother hates iron for being weaker than steel. As a smart cat, it already knows what is a copper plate and what is a silver ingot, but these four cubs don't even know it.These four cubs are mostly nursed by it, and it is always teaching by precept and example, why haven't the cubs inherited its intelligence.

If the younger brother can speak human words, he would like to press their heads and say loudly: Babies, Dad is very disappointed in you!

The little brother now naturally doesn't know that with his unremitting efforts, the first foreign language the four little ones have mastered is meow language. Man has a headache for a while.

And the first skill they learn is how to catch mice accurately and quickly.Gu Jiu and Shao Yi, who were not short of money and food, had to throw away countless dead mice every day during that time, and then went to persuade the four little ones who thought they didn't like mice, not to catch cockroaches and dead snakes to come back That's it, snakes are nothing more than cockroaches, you old ladies really can't love them!

In fact, every time they meet customers who need to solve problems, it is also a rest time for Gu Jiu and Shao Yi. Although there are things to do, it is much better than staying outside.

After leaving Lai's house, they cleaned up all the marking points around the town, and then extended down to the countryside.

When they finished clearing a marker outside that day, the foggy sky began to drizzle.When they came over, they noticed that there were no dilapidated houses or villages for them to rest on the way. Now that the trees are just sprouting, there is no place to hide from the rain. Although there is a donkey cart, it can't withstand the rain.They looked at the map and saw that there was a village not far ahead on the map, so they drove there, hoping to successfully spend the night there.

Not long after the donkey cart started running, it suddenly saw two people standing on the road ahead, a man and a woman, waving at them.The two stopped in the middle of the road, the donkey cart couldn't pass, even if Shao Yi didn't want to stop, he had to stop.

"What's the matter?" Shao Yi asked them.

The woman is a young woman of 21. The man looks older than her, about twenty-five, and both of them have bags in their hands.The woman didn't see Shao Yi's appearance clearly before, and she shouted loudly to stop, but seeing the handsome Shao Yi now, she immediately widened her eyes and stared at Shao Yi intently.

The man next to him noticed it, and bumped the woman with his arm in dissatisfaction, causing the woman to be dissatisfied, and pinched the man's arm confidently.

The man grinned his teeth in pain, not daring to show dissatisfaction with the woman anymore, he just covered his arms and gave Shao Yi a dissatisfied look, and said in that thick and natural tone: "Brother, you are going to pass through Huaitou Village, right? It's raining, you take us for a ride."

Normally, Shao Yi would have stared at him in displeasure, but the village they went to live in happened to be Huaitou Village, so he didn't care about it, it was just that it was raining and Gu Jiu was uncomfortable, so he could only nod his head, "Come on."

As soon as the words were finished, the woman grabbed the handlebars and climbed onto the donkey cart. Gu Jiu squeezed beside Shao Yi to make room for them.

The woman just wanted to sit at the door and not go in, she kept staring at Shao Yi with fiery eyes, not only Shao Yi was upset, Gu Jiu was also very uncomfortable, this is his man.

Gu Jiu turned her head and said meanly: "Ma'am, sit inside, there's still someone who hasn't come up yet."

Compared with Gu Jiu, although women are older, they are far from being called aunts.The woman glared at Gu Jiu, "What are you talking about, little brother? This is, I'm not as old as you call me!"

Gu Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth.

The man comes up, the woman wants the man to sit in, and she sits outside.How could the man want to, he kept pushing her in, the woman had to swallow her words and reluctantly moved in.

The donkey cart started to run again, and suddenly the younger brother's roar came from inside the cart, and the woman followed suit with an exclamation.

The man hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The woman said angrily, "This little bastard is arresting people!"

Gu Jiu probed inside and saw that the younger brother who was sleeping inside had woken up and was squatting on top of their belongings, showing two sharp teeth, looking at the woman vigilantly.On the other hand, there were a few more scratches on the back of the woman's hand, but no blood was seen.

Gu Jiuchong waved to his younger brother, "Do you want to come out?"

The little brother didn't move, he didn't intend to come out.

Gu Jiu glanced under the younger brother's paws, the bundle that was bundled up was untied, Gu Jiu smiled coldly, "Ma'am, just ride in the car, don't rummage things, my cat can catch thieves. "

The woman blushed: "What do you mean, you said I stole from you?"

Gu Jiu was originally a very peaceful person, but this woman stared at Shao Yi with such naked eyes, which made him very unhappy, so he lost that bit of peace, and said bluntly: "It's louder than the voice? I'm not afraid, if you yell again, go down and go your way."

Seeing the situation, Shao Yi slowed down the speed of the car.Originally, he was worried that Gu Jiu would get cold in the rain, so he picked up these two people. Since these two people are so ignorant and made Gu Jiu unhappy, he let them go down.

The woman was annoyed and wanted to talk again, but the rain just kept getting heavier and heavier, and the man didn't want to get out of the car, so he quickly dissuaded him, "Okay, okay, don't say a few words, it's still far from home, do you really want to walk back?"

The woman definitely didn't want to walk, but she couldn't swallow her breath, so she could only vent her anger on the man, twisted his arm again, and cursed in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, you don't care if others bully you, woman, why did I marry you?" That kind of people!"

The man was embarrassed by what she said, but he was really afraid of guilt, so he could only bear it with an ugly face.

Gu Jiu no longer cares about these two people, the younger brother looks after the property, not afraid of them stealing again.Just like this all the way to Huaitou Village, the sky was already getting dark.

The man and the woman got out of the car. They didn't know whether they had low IQs, really didn't understand the world, or they thought it was natural for outsiders to help them. They didn't say thank you when they got off the car. The woman even rolled her eyes at Gu Jiu. She wasn't very good looking at first, but a single white eye ruined her completely.

After the two got out of the car, they saw that Gu Jiu and the others not only didn't leave, but were also driving to the village. When they were curious, they heard a cry coming from ahead.

Gu Jiu and the others followed the sound, and saw in the misty rain and mist several men and women holding white banners that were wet by the rain, and a middle-aged man was the first, with a piece of clothes hanging on a bamboo pole, which was quite obvious in the rain. Weirdly fluttering.

"Miniel!"

"Minnie... where are you?"

"Come back, Minnie."

Although the ceremony was not standard, Gu Jiu could tell at a glance that these people were calling their souls.

Seeing this, the woman didn't seem to notice the sadness and seriousness of the other party at all, or she didn't care. She stepped forward and asked the middle-aged man in the lead, "Uncle Six, what are you doing? Minnie!" What's the matter?"

Uncle Six touched the rain on his face, "Minnier lost her soul."

The woman was surprised immediately, and then asked in a gossip tone: "I lost my soul? Why did you lose your soul?"

Uncle Six's body trembled in the rain, "Min Ni'er told me that she saw Cao Chengye."

"Cao Chengye?" The woman rolled her eyes angrily, "What happened to him?"

The way the woman rolled her eyes was very funny, but Uncle Six couldn't laugh at all. He looked at her with terrified eyes and said, "Because I told her that Cao Chengye died two days ago, and she lost her soul when she was shocked." !"

"What?" The woman and the man said in unison, "Cao Chengye is dead?"

"died!"

"Died two days ago!"

Then Gu Jiu and Shao Yi saw that the previously indifferent expressions of these two people gradually became as frightened as Uncle Six, or even more frightened than Uncle Six.
