Hundred Ghosts

despondent

"By the way," Lin Zi said, "I want to go back to the Taoist temple first. Although the temple is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is high, the water will not be able to flood there for the time being, but there must be a lot of people going there to avoid the water. How are you brothers?"

He Huai knew that he would be like this, "You are right, you have been away from the capital for so long, you think, after thinking about it for a while, it is indeed time to go back and have a look, but it is precisely because there are so many people at this time that you can't go back. You have lived here since childhood, and you have wandered around with your master. There should be many people who know you. The little emperor announced your death to the world. At this time, you go back. What if someone with a heart recognizes you? ?”

Lin Zi looked at him pitifully.

"...All right, all right," He Huai said compromised, "You begged me once, how could I refuse, I will take you back tonight."

"it is good!"

They live a certain distance from the capital city, and the terrain is relatively small. Although there is nothing wrong with their family for the time being, the low-lying land that they planned to farm was all flooded. The plague ghost went out for a while and came back and said, " There are a lot of refugees here, you two should not go out recently, if you are discovered, you will suffer."

Lin Zi responded in a low voice, "En."

"Also, you can't help them. People's hearts are the scariest. Especially in times of crisis, they will definitely give themselves enough benefits by hurting you," Plague Ghost said again, "Don't be stupid, you know?"

"This is He Huai's home. What right do I have to invite others over? Don't worry, I'm not a good or bad person."

In the afternoon, the rain stopped for a while, but the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and there were bursts of thunder. Lin Zi yawned and fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up, he was covered with a thick blanket. But his hands and feet were still cold, down to his bones, as if he had been lying in the snow all afternoon, and it took him a while to recover.

I don't know how long the plague ghost stayed by his side. Seeing that he woke up, he seemed very relieved, "Just now I saw you lying here with a livid face, and your body was very cold, so I found you a blanket to cover you."

"Thank you." Lin Zi said tremblingly, he was too cold, as if walking naked in the snow, his teeth chattered from the cold.

The plague ghost touched his hand, frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold?"

Lin Zi smiled wryly, what else could be the matter, probably he was about to die, other than the fact that there was a big sun basking in the sun a while ago, the other feeling was only cold, biting cold.

And the past two days have gotten worse.

"I said earlier, you will not end well if you follow the ghost in the wood..."

"It's nothing, I'm just sick, and it will get better after a while."

The plague ghost sneered, "You really lied to yourself."

Lin Zi sighed in his palm, "It's nothing, you see, I am already a dead person in the eyes of everyone - people who know that I am not dead will still say that I am dead in front of others. Although I Obviously did nothing wrong, but ended up like this - of course, this is much better than staying in the palace for the rest of my life..."

"I used to live in a Taoist temple, but now I can't go back. I can't be tolerated anywhere. This is my only home. It's not He Huai who keeps me, but I can't live without him. After all, being loved by others has passed the last days, It's better than dying alone."

How did he know such a thing? Plague Ghost could only say, "Then you can do it yourself."

He refrained from saying that it would be too cruel for you to let the person who loves you the most watch you die.

He Huai didn't know where he went, and he didn't come back until evening. When he came back, he was holding a lot of crucian carp skewered with willow branches.

Dinner was of course stewed crucian carp. The thick white fish soup was sprinkled with emerald green scallions. It looked delicious. Sitting next to him, He Huai talked endlessly about how he caught the fish.

He also knew that there were many people hiding in the vicinity these days, so he went to check the nearby woods in the afternoon, and specially planted a lot of pagoda trees around the place.

When he came back, he found a lot of fish in a wild pond, and of course there were a lot of snakes...

Presumably, the rising water rushed these fish over. He Huai dived into the water without saying a word and caught a few, but the fish ran too fast, so it took him a long time to catch these few.

He picked up a piece of fish and put it in Lin Zi's play, Lin Zi was drinking soup, the thick white fish soup drove away the chill on his body, his stomach was warm, He Huai suddenly threw fish into his bowl, and it was on his face in a daze A few drops of soup were splashed.

He Huai quickly grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it on his face, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, and I didn't get burned." Lin Zi continued to drink the soup while he wiped his face clean.

The cheek touched by her finger was very cold, He Huai frowned, "Why is your face so cold? Are you wearing less clothes?"

Seeing that the three floors inside and outside the three floors can survive the winter, He Huai's last sentence was quite guilty.

"Come on, stretch out your hand."

The hand holding the fish soup was warm, Lin Zi freed up one hand and handed it to him with confidence.

He Huai touched his hand, it was quite warm, then he touched it up, his wrist was actually cold, Lin Zi was startled, and suddenly withdrew his hand, but He Huai's wrist was tightly pinched by He Huai, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Why are you so cold?" He Huai said as he unbuttoned his clothes. Sure enough, the same was true on his body. So many clothes did not bring him any warmth at all.

While he was in a daze, Lin Zi withdrew his hands and put on his clothes, "I blew a cold wind this afternoon, it was a bit cold, and I haven't slowed down until now, or if you turn on the fire, I'll warm it up for a while, maybe it will warm me up. "

He Huai couldn't help but reproached in a low voice, "Are you still blowing cold air? Do you want to get hot again?"

"Nothing, it's just that the rain scene is so beautiful."

"Really?" He Huaixin thought it was true, and then thought, isn't it all gray days these days?What catches your eyes?

"In that case, I'll go and get you a stove to warm up." He looked out the window, it was raining again outside, and the ground was clattering, "You should stay at home tonight, it's too cold outside, Don't go out."

Lin Zi quickly shook his head and refused, and said incoherently, "No, no, you can go back as promised, you can't just keep your word, I just want to see Master, I'm going tonight, I can't wait, Xiaocai must miss me too , don't you want Xiaocai anymore?"

He Huai was very surprised, "We can go back when the rain stops after a while, what are you in a hurry to do tonight?"

"Because tomorrow is July and a half, the gate of ghosts is wide open, and Master is too busy at this time of year. I want to help Master."

This is an excuse. When he left, the master sent him a letter, saying that for him and for the sake of the entire Taoist temple, he would not come to the Taoist temple in the future, and it would be best not to meet in the future.

Unless it's really important.

But now he has nothing else to do but wait for death, but he doesn't know how long he can last.

Therefore, I have to find an excuse to meet up, and treat it as a farewell.

"Go, go, I promise to wear more. I will never freeze myself."

He Huai hesitated for a moment, then compromised again, "All right, but you have to follow me to see the doctor."

Looking at Lin Zi's bloodless face, he felt panicked for some reason, "Your complexion is so bad, I'm worried, do you know that?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Plague Ghost opened the door and came in. He stared at Lin Zi's messy collar in silence for a few seconds, then took a step back and closed the door.

Lin Zi: "..."

"Come back," He Huai called to stop him, he seemed in a hurry just now and obviously wanted to say something, really, why couldn't he say it in front of Lin Zi?

Plague Ghost glanced at Lin Zi, "You guys are eating deliciously."

"Of course, we are not smelly ghosts, and everything tastes good."

This kind of ghost's mouth constantly breeds stench, no matter what delicious food is put into his mouth, it will quickly rot and become smelly, and the stench will suffocate himself, making him vomit non-stop.

Thinking of this, Lin Zi felt a sense of the picture, and a feeling of nausea was born spontaneously, and he didn't even want to eat.

Seeing that he stopped drinking, He Huai sat next to him and patted his head worriedly, "Why don't you drink? You really are sick, right?"

"No, no..." Lin Zi picked up the bowl and took a sip, and showed him the clean bottom of the bowl, "Look, I'm fine."

Plague Ghost: "..."

He Huai took the bowl away, wiped the table again, suddenly remembered, and asked the plague ghost, "Did you have something to say to me just now?"

The plague ghost glanced at Lin Zi, standing behind He Huai, his expression was not very good-looking, and he shook his head slowly.

The plague ghost lowered his head and said, "It's nothing, just to see if you have eaten."

He Huai was at a loss, when did this guy care so much about him and Lin Zi?

He didn't ask much, he found two coir raincoats, and threw Lin Zi an old robe, "Put the robe outside and put on the coir raincoat, so don't get the clothes inside dirty."

"it is good."

Plague Ghost just felt baffled in his heart. They are planning to go out this late at night?

"Where do you want to go?"

He Huai complained, "Tomorrow is July and a half, the day when the gate of hell is open, Lin Zi is going to the Taoist temple to help his master, there are so many people on the road during the daytime, so I can only take him there now, and let his master have a look What's wrong with him...he doesn't look very good these days - you just stay here to watch the house, we'll be back tomorrow. "

"……Fine."

In order to bring him back to the Taoist temple safely, He Huai had surveyed the area during the day, but there was still too much mud and water, and Lin Zi couldn't move after following him for a certain distance.

He Huai knew that this would happen. He had to drive to the capital on weekdays. This guy doesn't move much on weekdays. It's pretty good to be able to get here.

He took off his coir raincoat and squatted in front of Lin Zi, "Come on, I'll carry you back."

Lin Zi took a step back hesitantly, "Forget it, I'll go by myself."

"You can't even get there by yourself in the dark, come on, I'll carry you."
