At the beginning

The liveliness of the ghost world is no worse than that of the human world. Standing at the end of the long street is a splendor of colorful neon lights, which reminds Shang Yu of the temple fairs he used to go to during the Chinese New Year when he was a child.

Shang Yu was embraced by Ren Yi, squeezed through the bustling crowd, bumped his shoulders and stepped on his feet from time to time, he didn't care much.

He is standing in front of a huge stage now, there are relatively few people here, Ren Yi asked him to look up the stage.

The stage layout looks like a concert. There is a little guy less than 1.5 meters tall running around, repairing the sound on the east side and adjusting the lights on the west side. He is very busy.

This little guy looks a little strange, no, it should be said to be very strange.

The parts of his body that were not covered by the clothes showed his original skin, which was blue.Two pointed ears are on the top of the head, eyes are much bigger than ordinary people, other facial features are normal, but there is a tail flicking behind.

"What's that?" Shang Yu asked.

"Little devil."

"But..." Shang Yu looked at the other ghosts behind him, and then turned back to the one in front of him. Why doesn't the painting style seem to be consistent?

"Well, it looks a bit strange." Ren Yi knew that Shang Yu thought so.He called out to the little ghost, "Hundred mistakes, come here."

The little ghost named Baicuo ran over happily: "Boss Ren, you are looking for me."

"Is Old Man Tian out of the stall?" Ren Yi asked casually.

"It's out, do you want me to take you there with your distinguished guest?" Bai Cuo was courteous and even bowed to Shang Yu.

"No need, I know the way." Ren Yi rejected Bai Cuo's proposal, waved his hand and said, "Go and do your work."

Ren Yi continued to take Shang Yu forward, telling him stories of all kinds of mistakes while walking.

"He was a half-breed kid. His mother smuggled abroad when she was young, fell in love with a demon, and gave birth to him. Later, I don't know what happened. He came back with the child alone, and died within a few years."

"Do ghosts die too?"

It has to be said that Shang Yu's acceptance is much stronger than that of ordinary people. In just a few hours, he has been able to accept being in the same space with a lot of ghosts without panicking.Not only that, but he can also think about something, but it is too kind to Ren Yi.

"To be wiped out, or to be reincarnated, it's called 'dead' here."

"The mother of all mistakes is..."

Ren Yi didn't answer, but changed the subject: "His name is strange, right? Don't we have a saying that 'everything is wrong is my fault', and the mother of all mistakes thinks he is right, so he gives The child is named Baicuo."

Shang Yu thought to himself, this logic is not perfect, so why didn't she name the child Yicuo?It seems unlucky to be easy to make mistakes. If you make ten mistakes, don't you think about one mistake?

Ren Yi stopped again, and Shang Yu followed his gaze and saw a handwritten signboard on a stall a little far away, with two big characters written with brushes on it - "Sugar and Wine".

Uncle Tian is a sugar and wine seller, and his business has always been good, and today is no exception.But when he saw Ren Yi coming, he left the big group of people in front of his booth, no, hell, he took a transparent bottle and stuffed it into Ren Yi's arms, and the frontier said: "I didn't bring much goods out today, you Don't let me hang around in front of the stall, go to Grandma Liu's."

Boss Sai Wantian didn't stay for a second, turned around and ran back to the back of his booth to deal with customers.

"Who is Grandma Liu?" Shang Yu asked.

Ren Yi seemed to want to continue this topic too much, but he still told him: "There is a stall selling lotus leaf fried rice in front."

Shang Yu's focus is a bit biased. What he cares about is not whether the fried rice is good or not, but: "Is it Grandma Liu from "A Dream of Red Mansions?"

"That's a literary work." Ren Yi reminded him, "This is just a ghost world, and you haven't worn a book yet."

"Yes." Shang Yu smiled lightly.

While the two were walking, Ren Yi held up the bottle of wine, dangled it up to the light, and asked Shang Yu, "Want to try it?"

Shang Yu hesitated a little, swallowed and asked, "Shall we still drive when we go back?"

"Are you afraid of drunk driving? Hahaha!" Ren Yi seemed to have heard something funny, laughed for a few minutes, and then suddenly stared at Shang Yu with a serious face, his voice was low, "Do you want to drive?"

Shang Yu always felt that the "driving" that Ren Yi said did not mean the same as what he said, but no matter which one he said, his answer was negative, and he simply shook his head several times.

"Come on." Ren Yi poured Shang Yu a glass of rum with the paper cup that Old Man Tian gave him.

Shang Yu took the paper cup, and the translucent wine inside swayed slightly, exuding a sweet aroma of fruit, and he smelled it carefully to feel the smell of alcohol.

He took a sip lightly, the freshness and sweetness of pears in his mouth, and the burning sensation of strong alcohol until he reached his throat.This wine might not have low alcohol content, Shang Yu thought, but it is really delicious.

He just took sip after sip, glass after glass, and the bottle of wine was bottomed out. Shang Yu was still unsatisfied, and there was no sign of drunkenness at all. His eyes were still shining, and he looked at Ren Yi expectantly, waiting for him to give himself another drink. Pour out a glass.

Ren Yi, who tried to get the little cutie drunk, was a little disappointed: "You don't have anything, you like messing with your relatives when you're drunk, looking for hugs everywhere, even if it's something wrong with crying?"

You must know that although Old Man Tian's sugar wine is sweet and not strong, the alcohol content is not low, and it is very easy to get drunk, especially for those who drink it for the first time.Some people even called it "Long Island Iced Tea in the ghost world", but they didn't expect to turn over at Shang Yu's place?

Shang Yu scratched his head, his cheeks flushed slightly: "I don't drink much."

Ren Yi turned his head and snorted, not believing it at all.

Ren Yi decided that when he came back the day after tomorrow, he must ask Old Man Tian to give him a bottle of sugar wine with increased alcohol content.

A few more steps forward, Grandma Liu's fried rice stall is right in front of you.Compared with the long queues at Old Man Tian's side, this side can be described as empty.

The whole street is very lively, but all ghosts avoid it.

Shang Yu looked behind the empty booth, the idle old man with envious eyes, only to realize that he had already put a boxed fried rice on his hands, as if he was about to order one .

Grandma Liu was so excited that she stood up, snatched the lunch box from Shang Yu's hand, her voice was a little trembling: "It's cold, I'll warm it up for you again." Then before Shang Yu could speak, she lit the fire and swung the shovel away .

People passing by all looked sideways at Shang Yu, he felt strange, so he leaned into Ren Yi's ear and asked, "Why are they looking at me?"

Ren Yi stared at the fried rice Grandma Liu handed to Shang Yu, and replied while paying the bill: "Take one bite and you'll know."

Shang Yu ate several mouthfuls, halfway through the meal, but he still didn't understand.

Ren Yi touched his forehead, and said to himself, "I'm not sick, why is my sense of taste not working?"

Grandma Liu's fried rice, a hellish dish for Ghost Festival.
