Crossing town house man and wife

The family dinner on New Year's Eve started quickly as Wu Ming hoped, and ended soon.

After completing the necessary steps, Ying took He Qianqian and left the venue, and Yan Heng soon left with Wu Ming, and returned to Wu Ming's yard to have a small banquet.

Although the time of Chinese New Year is not the same as that of later generations, the custom of vigil is the same, but there are no firecrackers at this moment, so we can only hear the sound of crackling bamboo.

Tomorrow morning, Yan Heng had to go outside the city to worship his ancestors, and he had to set off before dawn, so he simply asked people to carry all the clothes he needed to wear tomorrow to Wu Ming's courtyard, and stayed overnight here, and set off together tomorrow morning.

——That's right, Wu Ming has to go too.

Wu Ming originally thought that he could sleep late in the first year of junior high school like later generations, but Yan Heng insisted on taking him to the Yan family ancestral hall, so that he could meet the Yan family's ancestors.

As if they would be glad to see him!

If the ancestors of the Yan family were really alive, knowing that their grandson had married a male daughter-in-law, they would have to live from the grave!

Wu Mingxin slandered, but when he opened his mouth, he could only remind Yan Heng: He neither kneels to the sky nor to the ground, and he also ignores his parents and ancestors.It's okay to take him to the ancestral hall, kneel down?No talking!

Yan Heng was stunned for a moment, but immediately backed down a step, agreeing that Wu Ming would not enter the ancestral hall, but he still had to go.

"It took me a lot of effort to write your name into the genealogy. You always have to show your face and let them know what you look like." Yan Heng held Wu Ming's hand and said solemnly.

You don't even know my name, how could you put me in the family tree?

Wu Ming rolled his eyes, and finally responded impatiently, "Okay, just go. But the ugly words are up front. If something happens then, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

"Don't worry, no one dares to provoke you." Yan Heng said confidently.

He is not talking about people!

Wu Ming sighed heavily.

This year is rich in aura, and the number of ghosts and spirits is far more than that of later generations, and the ancestral hall is a very popular shelter for ghosts.

The position of the ancestral hall in the hearts of the descendants of Yan and Huang is extraordinary. If the owner of the ancestral hall does not get permission, even a Taoist priest would not dare to rush in casually to cast down demons. A disguised form of protection.What's more, there are offerings in most of the ancestral halls, and when the incense burns, it will also generate energy. The former can provide a source of food for ghosts and spirits who have found their hosts, and the latter can also make those ghosts that exist in the state of souls survive longer. time.

These ghosts may not have any real relationship with the owner of the ancestral hall, but as the saying goes, people who eat people are soft-spoken and short-handed. If the people who offer food and incense have any needs, the ghosts will usually give some help within their ability.

After coming and going, the ancestral hall became more and more legendary, and more and more awe-inspiring.

I hope the ancestral hall of the Yan family can be cleaner.

Wu Ming thought so, but really didn't have any hope.

The result was also as Wu Ming expected.

The people who went there together to worship the ancestors did not cause him any trouble - all the men entered the ancestral hall with Yan Heng, so there was no chance.The women waiting outside to blow the cold wind were mostly juniors, but they came to help manage the utensils and sacrifices, and none of them dared to talk to him, let alone embarrass him.

But the ancestral hall of the Yan family is also really inhabited by ghosts, and there are not only one.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, Wu Ming's spiritual consciousness locked on three guys: one was attached to the oldest jade tablet, the other occupied the body of the strong man guarding the ancestral hall, and the third was a crow who only opened his mind.

Ghosts are far more sensitive to spiritual sense than ordinary people, and the ghost attached to the jade is the weakest, and Wu Ming was frightened into a panic all of a sudden, even the tablet attached to it shook.It was the strong man guarding the ancestral hall who reacted quickly and rushed forward to hold down the tablet, which prevented the frightening farce of flipping the tablet.

But even so, the men in the ancestral hall inevitably panicked for a while.Some good things were immediately associated with Wu Ming, and a clan elder even relied on his age to directly accuse Yan Heng of violating etiquette and making his ancestors unhappy.

Although Yan Heng was also a little uneasy, he didn't give in because of this, and just put down his words. If the ancestors of the Yan family are really dissatisfied with his marriage, please warn him again with a vision.

Although Wu Ming outside couldn't hear the quarrel inside, he could deduce what happened inside based on the situation sensed by his spiritual sense, and he had already sent a warning to the two little devils with his spiritual sense: If you make trouble again, you two will be wiped out !

How could the ghosts in the tablet dare to move around? Yan Heng and others waited in the ancestral hall for a long time, and the vision that some people expected did not appear again.

Yan Heng glanced coldly at the clan elder who had spoken before, and that person snorted resentfully, and didn't say any more.

The patriarch of the Yan family immediately stood up and smoothed things over, allowing the sacrifice to continue.

At this time, the women outside were more frightened than the men.

The crow, which was said to be able to psychic, flew down from the roof of the ancestral hall, with fruit in its mouth, and landed in front of Yan Heng's wife to show his favor to him!

The women who married into the Yan family have more or less heard the rumors of the ancestors' apparitions, and they are also very familiar with this crow, which is said to be dozens of years older than the oldest clan elder.But just as it is difficult for different races to see the difference in each other's appearance, few humans can recognize the difference between crows and crows. Many people have heard this rumor but did not take it seriously. Just a story to scare children.

But at this moment, they saw with their own eyes a one-meter-long crow appearing in front of their eyes, like a trained watchdog handing fruit to Wu Ming.

What was even more frightening was that after Wu Ming rejected the fruit with a look of disgust, the crow actually spoke!

"Eat it! Eat it! It's delicious!" Crow spat out the fruit and said to Wu Ming in a hoarse voice.

The two timid female family members fainted on the spot, and a few others knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to the crow muttering.

But the crow ignored them and only looked at Wu Ming expectantly.

Wu Ming was not very surprised.

The crow was originally one of the smartest birds, with an IQ equivalent to that of a five- to seven-year-old child. The only thing smarter than it is the magpie, which belongs to the same family as it.Like starlings, crows can imitate the sounds of other animals and even learn human speech.From this point of view, it is very normal for a crow that has opened its mind to speak human words. If it can't speak, Wu Ming will be surprised.

But understanding is understanding, Wu Ming is used to living a life where cats dislike dogs, how can he know how to deal with a bird that has become a bird.

Seeing the crow looking at him, Wu Ming could only sigh, and replied honestly: "I don't like to eat this stuff."

"Then what do you like?" asked the crow.

Roast the bird.

Wu Ming really wanted to answer maliciously like this, but considering that no matter how smart a bird is, it can't understand the difference between a joke and the truth, he still asked patiently, "Why do you want to give me fruit? Did you ask me for something?"

"I want you to raise me." The crow replied solemnly.

Wu Ming rubbed his temples, but didn't reply.

"Take care of me!" Crow said again in a hoarse voice, "I can help you with many things!"

"for example?"

"Look for fruit to eat!"

"..."

"Raise me! Raise me!"

"Shut up!" Wu Ming finally couldn't stand its broken voice, "Don't talk to me now, come and find me at night—if you find it, I'll support you."

"Okay—uh." As soon as the crow answered the sentence, he remembered that Wu Ming forbade it to speak again, and quickly closed his mouth again.

"Where did you come from, and where do you go back?" Wu Ming waved his hand, signaling it to get out of here.

The crow immediately picked up the fruit obediently, spread its wings, and flew high.

As soon as the crow left, Wu Ming noticed that people around him looked at him differently.

Will it attract any Taoist priests again?

Wu Ming sighed helplessly, always feeling that he should not accept the crow's surrender.

Keeping a pet is like raising a child. Don't bring it home if you are not fully prepared to provide for it.Although this crow is smart, it doesn't seem to be a magician. If it is in danger, Wu Ming is really not sure to save its life.

The luxury of a pet is more suitable for a guy like Shang Laogui...

Uh, maybe forward it?

Wu Ming thought about it, and suddenly felt that this idea might be really good.

If Old Ghost Shang looks down on Old Ghost Xia of this era, this crow can be just for him to empathize with.

Well, he will raise it first, and pass it on to Old Ghost Shang later!

Wu Ming quickly made up his mind.

The men in the ancestral hall didn't know what was going on outside, and when they came out of the ancestral hall, they could only see that the atmosphere outside was a bit wrong.The two little ghosts in the ancestral hall knew a little bit, but none of them dared to talk too much, nor did they dare to approach Wu Ming like the crow spirit.

Next, they had to go to the patriarch's house for a reunion banquet. After they came out, the members of the Yan clan rode horses and cars, and took their families to the patriarch's house.

But when a group of people arrived at the patriarch's house, everyone knew about Wu Ming's conversation with the crow.

Yan Heng also got on the horse and learned about it from the attendants who stayed outside.Although he didn't know the reason, Yan Heng evaluated the pros and cons of this matter as soon as he changed his mind.After arriving at the patriarch's house, Yan Heng asked the patriarch directly for a courtyard, and sent Wu Ming and the ox cart inside, and then assigned guards to guard the courtyard, not allowing the clansmen to come in and disturb them.

Because he was going out to socialize immediately, Yan Heng couldn't ask too many questions, so he simply asked Wu Ming a few words about the cause and effect.

Of course Wu Ming would not admit that the crow spirit recognized him as a ghost cultivator and wanted to hug his thigh, but only said that crows were originally smart and talking birds. If he didn't believe it, he could raise one for a try.

"Will that bird really come to you?" Yan Heng was more concerned about this.

"That depends on how smart it is." Wu Ming shrugged, "If it really comes, you can raise it. The crow eats everything, and it's easy to feed. It's a big deal to deduct money from my food."

"Of course it's not a problem to raise it. The problem is that the clan may not let it leave the ancestral hall." Yan Heng frowned.

"So what if you don't let it go, can you still lock it in the ancestral hall?" Wu Ming asked disapprovingly.

"I'm afraid some people will really think that way, but..." Yan Heng thought for a while, and quickly raised the corners of his mouth, "That must be caught first."

"Then let them catch it." Wu Minghun replied indifferently.

If even a group of ordinary people couldn't avoid being caught, that bird wouldn't be worth giving to Shang Laogui to raise.

"Well, I'll answer them that way too." Yan Heng grabbed Wu Ming's hands and shook them vigorously, "I'll go out to socialize first, so you don't show up. I'll send people to the yard for food and so on. If you are tired, rest here first. There are guards around, and no one will come in to disturb you."

"Got it, go and do your work." Wu Ming waved his hand to let Yan Heng take care of himself.
