Jiu Gu

Qi Jin felt that he must have been hit by some spell, otherwise why would he go home with a man he had never seen before?

Especially this man can still see ghosts, no matter how you think about it, he is not an ordinary person.

Thinking of those villains on TV who used ghosts to do bad things, he couldn't help shivering, feeling an urge to run away.

But seeing the way the man cleaned the copper coin that he had worked so hard to find from the trash can, he felt that this person should not be a bad person.

Gu Jiu scrubbed Qi Jin's sojourn copper coin clean, and tied it with a red thread again, making sure that it would not fall off, before hanging it around his neck.

As for the original red string on the copper coin, oh, that one is so dirty, naturally throw it into the trash can~

Qi Jin stared helplessly at his parasitic copper coin, which was hung around his neck like this. The feeling was a little weird.

You must know that even Su Ziming, who has lived together for so many years, would put that copper coin in the living room every night before going to bed, and would never let him into the room.Occasionally he forgot to bring it when he went out, so he could only stay at home all day, unable to go anywhere.

Now this man hangs the copper coins on his body so carelessly, should he be said to be highly skilled and courageous, or should he be said to be stupid?

Under Qi Jin's strange gaze, Gu Jiu put on her apron and started to cook with her sleeves rolled up.Qi Jin surrounded Gu Jiupiao, occasionally hanging upside down from the roof, trying to scare the man.

I don't know if this man is naturally courageous or if his reflexes are too long. Anyway, no matter what scary expression Qi Jin makes, his expression is always calm, and there is still a vague curvature at the corner of his mouth.

This is a mockery!It sure is mocking!Qi Jin became angry, and directly turned into a swollen and wet image, baring his teeth and claws at the man.

This is his original appearance, because he was drowned, the body was soaked in the water for many days before it floated up, and his body was already swollen and out of shape.For so many years, he has never dared to let himself appear in front of Su Ziming, for fear of scaring him.

Qi Jin also couldn't explain why he showed such a face in front of a man, and this inexplicable thought appeared.He thought that when he showed such a face, the man would be disgusted and afraid. Who knew that these two emotions did not appear on the man's face, but... a look of distress.

When Qi Jin was hugged into the man's arms, the whole ghost was in a daze. How could this be different from what he thought?

Moreover, since he can't touch anything, why can he feel the man's body firmly now?

Subconsciously reached out and touched it, it was warm, the body temperature of a living person.There was a sudden chuckle overhead, followed by a kiss on the forehead.

Qi Jin was completely stunned, he didn't know when he put away his hostile outfit, and looked up at the man in front of him with a dazed expression.

Gu Jiu was looking at him, smiling all over his face.

Obviously ghosts shouldn't feel those emotions, but Qi Jin felt very embarrassed, pushed the man away and floated away.

After a while, he floated back awkwardly, looked at the man with curiosity on his face, "How did you get to touch me?"

For so many years, except for the occasional encounters of the same kind, he has never come across entities.Even the Xiaomin whom he disliked very much, at most he showed his body to frighten her.

Although he was a little wary of this man, he still couldn't help being curious about this matter, "Well, uncle..."

Gu Jiu: "..." Although it's not the first time being called uncle, but the feeling is still very subtle, "Brother Jiu."

"Uh... Brother Ninth..." Qi Jin had no choice but to change his address.

Gu Jiu's mood brightened in an instant, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "Say."

"Well, why can I touch you?" When Qi Jin said this, he reached out and poked Gu Jiu's shoulder again.

Gu Jiu grabbed the mischievous hand, "Because I want you to touch it, so I can touch it."

Qi Jin: "..." What kind of strange explanation is this...

Gu Jiu couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his hair, "Hey, don't make trouble, I'll teach you how to show your body after cooking, and you can touch things at night."

The temptation of this sentence was a bit strong, Qi Jin immediately withdrew his paws, and obediently stood aside, watching Gu Jiu cook.

Because I was anxious, I scratched my head several times and wanted to go over to help.

Gu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and went back to the room, dipped a brush with cinnabar and drew something on a piece of yellow talisman paper, then folded the talisman paper, tied a red string and hung it on Qi Jin. neck.

Qi Jin was very surprised, subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, and caught it straight.

I was able to catch it!

Gu Jiu looked at him with a smile, "Okay, as long as you don't drop it, you can touch the real thing."

Qi Jin hurriedly touched the wall next to him, and actually touched it!Although he didn't like the icy cold touch very much, the feeling of touching the real thing still made him very happy.

So he was like Grandma Liu who entered the Summer Palace for the first time. He kept touching everything in the man's house, smashing his mouth as he touched it, with a look of relish.

Gu Jiu was amused and distressed at the same time, turned around and went back to the kitchen, quickly made three dishes and one soup and put them on the table.

Qi Jin looked a little greedy, but unfortunately he was a ghost, so he couldn't eat it, and he couldn't even smell it.The only food on weekdays is the melons and fruits that Su Ziming enshrined to him, which can barely fill his stomach, but ghosts will get tired of it, okay?

But when he said this to those lonely ghosts, those lonely ghosts would look at him with the eyes of a prodigal son, and some would like to offer food, but they still want to choose!

Therefore, he did not dare to ask Su Ziming about the food.Moreover, when ghosts eat food, they eat the essence in the food, and human eyes cannot see the changes in the essence.

Usually, not long after Su Ziming put the food on the table, he would suck up all the food he could eat in it, but Su Ziming couldn't see anything, thinking that he hadn't finished eating, he waited for the fruits to rot before muttering He wasted it and replaced it with a new one.

Fortunately, ghosts don't usually feel hungry, or they won't die of starvation anyway. It's okay to be hungry for ten days and a half months. Qi Jin has been here all these years.

Qi Jin stood aside, watching Gu Jiu arrange the food, and seeing two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, he felt a little puzzled, could it be that the uncle still has guests at home?Should he hide first so as not to scare the guests?

I don't know if the uncle will remember to put an offering for him after they finished eating, if he doesn't remember to put it, should I remind him...

Qi Jin was thinking wildly, when suddenly Gu Jiu yelled, "Qi Jin, eat."

Qi Jin sighed subconsciously, and when he realized it, he had already sat on the stool, and there was a bowl of steaming rice in front of him, and a pair of chopsticks were neatly placed on the rice bowl.She looked up at the man foolishly, "Give me something to eat?"

Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Try to see if it suits your appetite. If you have anything you like, you can tell me, and I'll make it for you."

Picking up the bowl, Qi Jin always felt that his nose was a little sour. After all these years, since his death, he never smelled the aroma of rice.

He died early, less than eight years old when he died, and because he drowned accidentally, in their place, such a child cannot be listed on the genealogy and enjoy incense and offerings.

Reduced to a lonely ghost, he can only follow Su Ziming, enjoy a little offering from him, and then grow up little by little.

His favorite food, where does he have his favorite food? The most vivid memory is probably the meat bun that his mother brought back from the market.

"I want to eat...meat buns." He, who never made conditions in front of Su Ziming, blurted out these words.

Gu Jiu picked up a few dishes with chopsticks in his bowl, was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed, "Okay, I just happen to be the best at making meat buns."

"Really?" Qi Jin took a big mouthful with the bowl in his mouth, only to feel the fragrance of rice in his mouth, and the long-lost taste of rice made his whole ghost float.

"Really, but the meat is not fresh now. I'll buy the meat tomorrow morning and cook it for you. Then I'll cook some porridge and make some side dishes..." Gu Jiuzheng was talking, seeing that Qi Jin was almost drooling , couldn't help laughing, "Aren't my fried dishes delicious? It makes you drool when you hear the porridge..."

"Ahem, no..." Qi Jin touched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, but didn't feel any saliva, and immediately realized that he was being tricked, and glared at Gu Jiu, "Liar!"

He won't take this blame, Gu Jiu quickly explained, "I'm just reminding you that your saliva is about to flow down."

"Hmph!" Qi Jin groaned twice, ignoring the liar, and sucked down the rice and fried meat...

Gu Jiu hurriedly picked up some food for him, and seeing that his bowl was almost full, she simply poured his bowl into her own bowl, and scooped another bowl for him.

Qi Jin was stunned, "That, that, I, I ate..." Su Ziming always threw the food that was enshrined to him in the trash can, why is this man so careless...

"It doesn't matter, you won't be able to eat real food." Gu Jiu said while digging, and added vegetables to the Qi Jin bowl.

Qi Jin didn't know much about this, but seeing the food he had eaten was taken away by a man, this feeling made him feel weird...

Qi Jin didn't know, but Gu Jiu knew that the food absorbed by ghosts would taste much worse without the original essence.

But he didn't want to see the food that Qi Jin had eaten and dumped into the trash can, it would make him feel very uncomfortable.He would rather finish Qi Jin's unfinished food like now, which will make him feel like they are living in the same space.

When eating the second bowl, Gu Jiu obviously felt that something was wrong. When she raised her head, she saw Qi Jin's eyes wandering. Seeing him looking over, she muttered, "I'm full."

Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, his little Shitou was actually a very gentle person no matter what time he was.
