Stage [Republic of China]

Me and him..."

"It's not your business." Xu Jishan answered him in a low voice with a gloomy voice. "I know you and I believe in you."

Shui Jiu felt relieved.

After a while, Xu Jishan laughed bitterly again. "But that guy, I can't believe it."

46, 46

◎"Boss Shui, come home with me"◎

Xu Jishan wanted to get to the bottom of it and see where he was in Shui Jiu's heart, so she hugged Shui Jiu's thin waist tightly on purpose, her breath was hot and jealous. "Hey, to be honest, Boss Shui! We've known each other for many days, but you haven't told me anything about you. What about me?"

Xu Jishan deliberately put her hand into her Adam's apple again, pulled out the photo frame with the thin gold chain, and showed it to Shui Jiu. "Well, my lord, I have told you everything!"

Shui Jiu was very sorry in his heart, but now he made a fuss, and the seven or eight parts were dispersed, leaving only a cold snort from his nostrils.Turned around and simply ignored him.

No matter how much Xu Jishan teased her along the way, Shui Jiu finally stopped responding.

I didn't have to eat dinner after returning home.Xu Jishan asked the kitchen to come over for some late-night snacks, and made a pot of strong Fenghuang Dancong, with a nice voice, trying to coax him back.

"Don't eat." Shui Jiu pushed away the saucers and bowls in front of him, feeling a bit sleepy. "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to sleep first."

Xu Jishan glanced up and down, guessing that this person might still be losing his temper, blaming him for not taking him as a thief on the way.What's more, Shui Jiu also greeted him before going out, saying that he wanted to meet alone, but he followed him in a jerk, I'm afraid this person felt uncomfortable.

Do you regret it? It's out of the question.It's just that he has offended people right now, and he has to figure out how to coax them back.

Shui Jiu didn't know that he had gone through all the twists and turns in his heart, so he got up and walked back to the house along the long corridor.Clogs rattled as they stepped across the corridor.

Xu Jishan turned her head and looked outside. The autumn cold was severe, and the cicadas on the tall trees were all dead.Jingxi Mansion has already begun to have the posture of winter, so it is better to go to bed earlier.So he sent the person to the door, leaning lazily on the door frame, with his arms crossed. "Early tomorrow morning, I'll take you out for a stroll, so that you won't be bored at home all the time."

"Don't go."

Xu Jishan opened her mouth to speak, but Shui Jiu closed the sliding door in front of him.Xu Jishan was caught off guard and almost kissed the sliding door cheekily.

With a snap, the lights in the room were turned off.

Xu Jishan had no choice but to eat tea alone and fell asleep.

The next day, Xu Jishan excitedly thought of an idea.Although it’s not a festival right now, things are complicated at both ends of the Yamen Chamber of Commerce, and besides, Mihang’s family lined up all day long to grab rice grains. Good water is very important.So he called the housekeeper early in the morning before washing his face, and said that he would invite the shadow puppet troupe over in the afternoon.

The housekeeper responded.

Xu Jishan was refreshed and found Shui Jiu outside the house. "Boss Water, Boss Water?"

It was very quiet in the house.

Xu Jishan coughed twice, cleared her throat, and suddenly said, "Ajiu."

There was a muffled voice of Shui Jiu from inside the room. "...don't shout."

But it has a thick nasal cavity.

"Aren't you up yet?" Xu Jishan chuckled, took off her shoes, opened the sliding door, and walked in wearing gray and white cloth socks.

Shui Jiu turned his back to him and fell asleep facing the wall.

Xu Jishan suddenly wanted to make a fuss about this person, so she stooped lightly and leaned over to press him down.As a result, as soon as he lifted the quilt, he reached out and touched Shui Jiu's wet back.

Shui Jiu seemed to be soaking in an icy lake, dripping with cold sweat.

"Why are you sweating so much?" Xu Jishan said, touching Shui Jiu's forehead with her big hand.

But it was terribly hot.

Xu Jishan hurriedly turned her half in her arms, and saw that Shui Jiu's eyes were tightly closed, her breathing was heavy, and her face was flushed from head to toe.Then touch the palms and soles of the feet, they are all scaldingly hot.

"Hey, why don't you tell me you're sick?"

Xu Jishan panicked immediately, her thick eyebrows were frowned, and she was about to run out with her in her arms.After walking two steps, he turned around again, put the person back under the blanket and tucked up the corners of the blanket tightly to prevent the wind from blowing in.

Here he went out in a panic, asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for Shui Jiu, and arranged ice cubes in a cold water basin for Shui Jiu to dispel the fever.

It wasn't until noon that Xu Jishan's stomach rumbled when she remembered that she didn't eat a piece of pastry that she was busy with at home.He asked Mama Wu to bring some pastries, made a new pot of Fenghuang Dancong, and sat cross-legged in front of the tatami mat, guarding Shui Jiu.

Shui Jiu had already taken two doses of medicine, and the fever subsided a bit, but she was still not sober, muttering nonsense from time to time.

Xu Jishan wondered, could it be that the wind blew in the car when going out last night?But it shouldn't be, he brought people back in a car.Or, was this person frightened when he saw Ning Jimin?But when he received the person, the person was still fine.

Xu Jishan refused to admit it anymore, maybe it was because of his seemingly false spying last night, which made this person feel uncomfortable and fell ill.

Admittedly, that is too late to regret.

In the afternoon, Shui Jiu's spirit barely improved.Xu Jishan stayed by his side, and personally fed him two bites of plum cake, and then fed him a sip of tea.Shui Jiu was in his arms, her eyes were closed, she only moistened her lips a little, then turned her face away and refused to eat or drink anymore.

"Eat a little more, at least to nourish your spirit." Xu Jishan coaxed him nicely.

Shui Jiu turned her face away and remained silent.

After the fever subsided, Shui Jiu's face was pale, and his long and curly eyelashes looked more and more gorgeous on his gorgeous face, like the wings of a butterfly, beautiful and cool.The slender white swan neck was half exposed outside the clothes, so fragile that it could be broken.

"How did you become a porcelain doll?"

Xu Jishan grumbled with a smile.He hugged him, and was about to tuck him back into the bed, but Shui Jiu suddenly grabbed his arm with his hand, and his whole body twitched.

Xu Jishan was startled, and looked down again. Shui Jiu clenched her teeth, rattling, and was sweating profusely again.

It didn't look like she was sick, but she was in shock.

After Xu Jishan comforted her into bed again, she came out and stood on the corridor frowning.The old housekeeper thought about it and said to him: "Sir, don't you believe it or not? It's a custom here in Jingxi, if you lose your soul or suffer from a fright and have a cold, at night, you have to find someone to beat the gong, and stick it in all directions." Notice, call back the soul of this man who was frightened away."

"Shouting soul?" Xu Jishan frowned.

"Hey," the old housekeeper cautiously approached, and said softly, "And the closest person around him has to go outside and call his nickname everywhere, so that the soul can be called back. The sooner you call, The better."

Xu Jishan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he didn't know Shui Jiu's nickname at all, calling Ah Jiu was just a test.What was his nickname, but the man never told him.

Damn it!That guy Ning Jimin might know.

Xu Jishan gritted her teeth apprehensively, and said to the housekeeper, "Get a bowl of uncooked rice first, sprinkle tea leaves on it, and see where his lost soul is. And you go prepare a gong and something. Tonight, I will personally Go call out his soul for him."

The sun sets early in winter.As soon as it got dark, Xu Jishan was fully armed, with a red ribbon tied around her waist, and she went out with a gong in her hand.Boom boom boom, when the gong hits, you have to shout: "Ajiu—come back! Come home with me!"

After shouting twice, Xu Jishan was worried and had to add another sentence. "Boss Shui—Boss Shui, come home with me!"

The ancient method of tea and rice shows that Shui Jiu's soul is in the northwest.Xu Jishan yelled along the northwest direction for most of the night until her voice became a little hoarse. Then she coughed a few times to clear her throat and looked up at the sky.There was a crescent moon in the sky, curved like Shui Jiu's eyebrows when she laughed.

His heart softened, and he couldn't help looking up at the moon, hehe, and smirked too.

In the middle of the night, Xu Jishan went to the places where Shui Jiu stayed in Jingxi Mansion to call for the soul one by one.From Shuixing Shop to Longyu Rice Shop, to the streets and alleys he followed Shui Jiu when he was drunk that night, he yelled all the way.

Calling out souls in the middle of the night, everyone in Jingxi Mansion knows it is an old custom, so they all stay behind closed doors, for fear of disturbing the living souls.

Xu Jishan didn't return until dawn.He returned to the courtyard and fell asleep, but this sleep was not peaceful, the dream was always hazy, it seemed that Shui Jiu came to push him, and it seemed that something happened somewhere, someone panicked and shouted "fire, Fire and water.

Mess, all kinds of dialects.

Xu Jishan was so sleepy that her head was drowsy, she managed to get up, and didn't wake up for a long time.

The old housekeeper's panicked voice came from outside the door. "Boss, are you awake, Boss?"

The old butler used to be in charge of Longyu's rice business, and when he had nothing to do, he called him Mr., and when he was in a hurry, he still called him his boss as usual in the shop.

Xu Jishan rubbed the center of her brows, and subconsciously thought, did something happen to Longyu Mihang?He raised his hand, put the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and opened the door with a low voice. "What's the matter? It's early in the morning, so flustered."

The old housekeeper's face was panicked, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans. "It's really a big deal!"

The old butler gasped for breath, leaned close to his ear, and said furtively: "I heard that there is martial law everywhere in Jingxi City. It sounds like someone rebelled last night!"

"What rebellion?" Xu Jishan stared at her fiercely even with thin gold-rimmed glasses. "Last night, I called out the soul for him all night, and I didn't see anything rare. I'm afraid it's not a rumor?"

The old butler stomped his feet anxiously. "Really! Outside, we can't even get out of the gate. Boss, get out quickly
