See the frost and snow outside the building again

I don't know how long the days have passed in an unremarkable way. Maybe the scholar earned a lot of money. Anyway, Shubai and others didn't go to steal it anymore. There was even a time when the scholar bought a big chicken leg for Shubai. Shu Bai was terrified and flattered.

Shuxiao honestly followed the scholar to set up a stall to write for others, and learned a lot of characters. When he learned it, he happily wrote down his name neatly in front of Shubai.

Except for the sweltering heat, everything is the same.

Until one day, Shuxiao ran back in a panic.

"Big Brother, Big Brother!" Shu Xiao looked terrified.

"What's wrong?" Shubai put down the broken bowl in his hand, he was researching a more effective method of begging, yes, he is a motivated beggar.

"Brother, I...I saw Brother Scholar, he has no shadow!" Shuxiao was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Upon hearing this, Shubai quickly covered Shuxiao's mouth and dragged him into a corner.

"What's going on, please explain clearly." Shubai's face was also quite ugly.

Shuxiao hastily explained what happened today in detail.

"Early this morning, I followed Brother Scholar to set up a stall in the old place..."

The place where the scholar set up his stall was well chosen. There is a tea house behind him, which can cover the sun when the sun is very hot at noon. It is next to the market, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Although the scholar has read many books, he is different. Compared with other scholars, he is not pedantic.The price should be bargained as usual, and you will never let yourself suffer.He also doesn't have a high-spirited spirit, so many people ask him to write.

Two days ago, Mr. Huang in the west of the city had his birthday and asked the scholar to write a picture. Today the scholar asked Shuxiao to send it to him.

This kind of errand work is bookish.

Not long after Shuxiao left, an old woman came to the scholar to write a letter. Her son's death day was approaching, so she wrote it and burned it for him.

"How long has your son been dead?" the scholar asked while writing to divert the old lady's attention, so that she would not be so sad.

"More than 30 years is close to 40 years."

"Oh? Then how did he die?"

As soon as this question came up, the old lady was very excited, "It's all because of them." She said while crying.

"Why were you killed?"

"It's all them, crazy." The old lady cried even more sadly.

The scholar wanted to ask again, but was interrupted roughly.

"Hey, hey." The scholar looked up, and there were three big and three thick guys.

"Is there something for everyone? I'm here to write a letter, two copper coins, and a couplet..."

"Damn, who wants to ask you to write? This is the territory of the master. You are here to make a living. How much do you have to be filial to the master?"

The scholar remained silent as if he didn't understand what he said.

"Damn it, brothers, throw him out of the city for me, so that he doesn't know what's good!" After finishing speaking, the scholar was dragged away, together with the things on his booth.

Seeing that something was wrong, the old lady left in a hurry.

Shuxiao came back at this time.

Shu Xiao huddled in the corner, intending to remember the faces of these people, and bring his eldest brother to revenge next time.

“1、2、3、4...”连同书生哥哥一共四个人，书笑余光一瞥地上的影子，1、2、3？！

Shuxiao's pupils contracted suddenly, counting again, there were still only three shadows.Shuxiao slowly matched the shadow with the person, brother scholar, so there is no shadow?

I heard people from the older generation say that only ghosts have no shadows. Could it be that scholars are ghosts?

The more Shuxiao thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he ran back and hurried back to tell Shubai about it.

Shu Bai was also silent for a while after listening: "You should keep quiet about this matter, let me go and have a look."

Book Laughing Maniac nodded.

According to Shuxiao, Shubai went all the way to the gate of the city, found a place, squatted down with a grass in his mouth, and waited for the scholar here.

When it was dark, the scholar dragged his pen and paper and walked slowly past the city gate, looking embarrassed, as if he had been thrown quite far.

The moonlight in summer is very bright, enough to clearly illuminate a person's face. Under the bright moonlight, the scholar really has no shadow!

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Shubai took a small path back to the Temple of the City God.

"Shu Xiao, no one is allowed to talk about this matter, you let me think of a way."

Shuxiao trembled with fright, just nodded.Shubai still wanted to give a few words of advice, when he heard someone shouting outside.

"Brother, brother, come quickly, Brother Scholar seems to be injured." It was San Mao who called.

Shubai heard it, and stared at Shubai with his eyes and smiled, indicating that everything was going on as usual.Shuxiao could only suppress the fear in his heart, and leaned in front of the scholar.

"Brother scholar, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing." The scholar turned his head and smiled at the book with a smile on his face.

I don't know if it's because of a ghost in his heart, Shuxiao looks a little panicked at this smile, and his eyes can't help but look to the ground, but there is still no shadow.

Shu Xiao let out a cry of surprise.Everyone looked at the book and smiled.

Shubai frowned, "What's your ghost name?"

"Blood, there's blood." Shuxiao quickly made an excuse for himself.

"How did you do it?" Shu Bai looked at the scholar and asked.

The scholar smiled shyly, scratched the back of his head, and briefly told what happened today.

"Okay, I get it, I'll avenge you tomorrow, now, go to sleep!" Shu Bai said.

The scholar was in a hurry, "What kind of revenge, you can't beat them, so don't go."

Shu Bai took a deep look at the scholar, "I said, go to sleep!" After speaking, he lay down.

Early the next morning, the scholar was going to set up a stall again, but this time Shuxiao was unwilling to follow.The scholar didn't force it either, and staggered away alone.

"What do you think?" Shubai asked with a smile.

"I'm a little scared, but I also think Brother Scholar is a good man, and he hasn't done us any harm after so long." Shuxiao said in a low voice.

Shubai nodded: "I think so too, let's observe for a while."

Book nodded with a smile.

"so what?"

Shu Xiao looked at him in a daze.

Shubai was so angry that he grabbed a piece of grass and greeted Shuxiao's head, "If you don't take me to those people from yesterday, if you don't show them some color, you really think you're dead, and it's useless to be here. All these years?"

It's not about how fierce Shubai and the others fight, but that they've been here for a long time and are used to seeing all kinds of people, so it's easy to trip someone up.

After doing bad things, Shubai felt relaxed.Looking back at the book and laughing, no one was there for a long time. You don't need to think about where he went. Is it so easy to finish writing?

So what about ghosts, Shubai thought, he has seen many people scarier than ghosts.

However, ghosts can bask in the sun?Will there be any problem if it gets too much sun?

The few people who were shaded by Shubai spat on the ground, they were actually similar to little beggars like Shubai, their parents died, and they had no skills, so they had no choice but to steal.But the older you get, the more annoying it is.

"Damn it, I must avenge this hatred of Lao Tzu." One of them said.

"That's right, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." One of them was about to agree, but suddenly he was speechless.

His mouth was covered!

In a blink of an eye, the three of them were secretly taken away.

Who knows where to take it?

If an elderly person looked at it, they would just close the doors and windows, what's the point?It's just that the sacrificial ceremony is about to start again.
