ask incense

Chapter 25

Pei Ling froze for a moment, remembering that Aunt Chen called Da Chen to go back and burn something for his father, and even Si'er was thinking about his aunt, and she didn't even think about burning something for her parents.Pei Ling thought again, he was already an unregistered person in his hometown, so he hadn't been able to go back to pay homage to his parents for so many years, it was really unfilial, why not take this opportunity to pay homage to his parents.Besides, he had to burn something for Ming, after all he was as helpless as himself, Ming had no parents before his death and no children after him, so who else could burn something for him besides himself.

Hearing what Si'er said, Dai Zhiyi asked Pei Ling in surprise, "Are you an orphan?"

"Yeah." Pei Ling replied sullenly, and forgot to go back to the courtyard for a while, turned around and walked out of the iron gate, "Let's go, aren't you going to buy something?"

Together, the three of them found a paper-making shop and bought some things, and Dai Zhiyi also bought something. Seeing what he bought, Si'er couldn't help asking curiously, "I'll burn it for my aunt, and Brother Pei will burn it for my parents. What about you?"

Instead, he replied concisely, "Give it to me, Master."

"Oh, you still have Master."

Dai Zhiyi frowned, why did he react like this even with his master?It sounded like he just jumped out of a rock, so he should have no relatives to rely on.

"How do you talk? Of course I have a master. Not only do I have a master, my master is also a very good person. He dotes on me very much."

"Don't have such a big reaction." Si'er quickly explained, "I didn't say your master is a bad person, I thought you learned your skills by traveling all over the world, and it turned out to be taught by your master. But thinking about it, it's reasonable for you to be angry If others want to see the virtues of our brothers and say that my aunt is a bad person, I will be angry. My aunt is also very good."

After shopping, the three of them walked back all the way, found a field without a grave, pulled out the surrounding weeds and started to burn the yellow paper.Si'er burned yellow paper and asked Dai Zhiyi, "You said my aunt would be sad if she knew the way she opened for us, and we ended up like this. In fact, I also know that I am worthless , Alas, what can I do. I have stayed in a ravine since I was a child, and I have never seen much of the world. When I first came out, I was fascinated by the bright lights. Unlike Brother Pei, who is powerful and steady."

"My master said that he doesn't want me to do big things, and he doesn't want me to be small. He only wants me to be safe and happy." Dai Zhiyi asked Pei Ling after speaking, "What about you? Do your parents expect you?"

Pei Ling shook his head, "I don't have any big requirements for me to become a dragon or a phoenix." Pei Ling recalled the short few years of living with her parents, and then smiled, "My dad is always worried that I will not have his life in the future, I can find a good man."

"Do you regret it?"

Hearing Dai Zhiyi's nonsensical words, Pei Ling looked at him puzzled, "What do I regret?"

Seeing that they were about to chat for a long time, Si'er who had already finished burning things got up, "Uncle is waiting for me, I'll go back first."

Pei Ling nodded, and said the same thing when Si'er left, "Why did you ask that?"

"It's just..." Pei Ling felt strange, why did the heartless Dai Zhiyi look a little unbearable at the moment, "It's just like your father worried, you haven't had a companion until now, do you regret it?"

Pei Ling smiled, "There's nothing to regret about it. I'm fine if I didn't harm others. It's just that you don't want to be beaten in the future. You don't know the face, so you still talk about it."

Dai Zhiyi hastily defended, "But I showed you that I did it with a lot of skill, so I'm not talking nonsense."

"Then I can really have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future?"

Dai Zhiyi hesitated, "Well..."

"Didn't you say that one generation is better than the other? Doesn't this mean that I have the blessings of descendants?"

Dai Zhiyi forced a smile, "It could also be that you are better than your father, in a certain way?"

"Come on, I'm not as good as my dad anywhere."

Pei Ling thought that his father was still a scholar after all, married his wife and lived happily, so he lived longer than his father.

Thinking of his parents, Pei Ling couldn't help feeling sad, but Dai Zhiyi kept talking, "What else do you have to do?"

"Yes." Pei Ling thought about what he hadn't done yet, which was to send Sai Tianxian home, but Pei Ling also wondered why Dai Zhiyi asked him this question, "Why are you asking such a strange question?" ?”

These words sounded like asking a person in danger what he was unwilling to do.Pei Ling felt that if he wanted to ask this question, he had to ask it himself. He said that he hadn't settled with him for showing his mouth. That was a real kill.

"That's all I'm asking. It seems that you still have a lot to say to your family. Then you can go back slowly and say that I don't want to disturb you."

Dai Zhiyi was thinking about going back to find Xiaohong, Pei Ling saw that he got up in a hurry to leave, took two steps and paused, then hurriedly turned around and lit three sticks of incense, which were bought on the way to the paper making shop, Pei Ling Ling watched him light the incense, blowing on two of them with his mouth, and finally sticking them on the ridge of the field, closing his eyes and clasping his palms together and praying devoutly, "Bless me to get rich, Master."

Pei Ling couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." Dai Zhiyi opened his eyes and looked at Pei Ling, pointing at the three sticks of incense, "This one is also famous, the one in the middle is the tallest, the one on the right is next, and the one on the left is the lowest. Increase the fragrance of wealth."

Pei Ling asked suspiciously, "There are all explanations for this, so is there any other good explanation besides this one?"

Instead, he saw that he was fanning the incense with yellow paper in his hand, and in a hurry, he slapped his hand away, "Don't move! It will cause trouble if the shape is not good after burning!"

"seriously?"

"In this world, there is good and bad. If it burns until the end is short in the middle, and one side is long and the other is short, this is the fragrance of evil." Dai Zhiyi looked serious, but he was too young and lacked vigor, so he stared at it with wide eyes. It's like scaring people.Pei Ling could only agree verbally, "Okay, I understand."

On behalf of him, he stood up and told him step by step, "Don't move around, or you will ruin my money."

"Humph, I'm still a money fan." Pei Ling shook his head with a smile. He was the only one left at the moment. Just now Si'er and Dai Zhiyi were chirping beside him, but he didn't have the nerve to speak. I thought my parents were ashamed, and Pei Ling relaxed after they both left.

His broad shoulders collapsed, his eyelashes drooped, and he was no longer the heroic and straight iron fist Pei Ling, who murmured to the void and called out to the void, no matter how tall or strong he was, he was just a child who missed his parents at this moment.

"Dad, mom."

Pei Ling threw a stack of yellow paper into the flames, following the tradition of announcing good news and not bad news, "I'm doing well, so don't worry too much about me. I've been unfilial for the past few years and haven't been able to worship you, so don't blame me I will make a decision in the future..." He thought for a long time and didn't know how to make a promise to his underground parents, and finally just sighed, "Oh, let's talk about it later. I will remember to burn more paper money for you, and live half of my life in the world. I’m suffering, I’ll burn paper money for you to bribe all parties, I hope you’ll have a good life underground.” After speaking, he threw the luxury cruise ship he bought from a paper shop into the fire, “The latest model, I heard there’s a lot of trouble down here. Flood, burn a boat for you to cross the river."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, watched the boat burnt out, and started throwing yellow paper into the short flame again. This time, his eyes were more sad, his throat moved, and he shouted hoarsely, "Ming." Then He stared blankly at the fire and didn't open his mouth again.

He didn't open his mouth, but the words were in his heart, and he still felt sorry.

Ming, I burned paper for you.Sorry, it took me so long to remember to burn some paper for you to get through the ghost errand.When you are alive, there is only poverty, but when you are dead, don't suffer from it again.I hope it's not too late, you can use these to clear things up, and you will have a good birth in the next life.

After all the bought things were burned out, Pei Ling stared blankly for a while before getting up and clapping his hands.Move your shoulders and straighten your chest, hide all grievances and feelings, and become that stable man again.After putting away his emotions, he turned around quickly, no longer cared about the pile of ashes, and left without looking back, but he didn't notice that he brought a cigarette when he left.

The incense burnt halfway and then broke, two short and one long, the shortest in the middle, it is the evil thing incense that Yi Yi had just tabooed.Pei Ling didn't pay attention, the lingering smoke seemed to have seized the opportunity, drifting slowly, and when Pei Ling turned around, it snaked and stuck to his trousers.

When Pei Ling walked back to the place where he was staying, he heard screams from inside as soon as he reached the door.The voice was shrill and terrifying, it was a woman's voice, Pei Ling realized it was Xiao Hong's cry, and suddenly felt bad, it seemed that something had happened.He pushed the door to enter, but collided with Dai Yiyi who pushed the door out.Instead, his reaction was different, seeing Pei Ling, he only gave him a hasty glance, didn't say much, and walked away.Pei Ling turned her head to see his back in a hurry and shouted, "Hey, where are you going?"

Dai Zhiyi didn't respond, and ran far away. Before Pei Ling could realize where he was going, he heard another scream from the courtyard, this time it was a male voice.

"Sai Tianxian?"

Pei Ling didn't care about Dai Yiyi who ran out, he was worried that something would happen to Sai Tianxian, and he rushed in the door without carefully discerning whether the call just now was from Sai Tianxian.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Uncle Cao and Si'er moving the fainted Sai Tianxian, Pei Ling roared and rushed forward, "What are you doing?"

When the two of them saw Pei Linghong approaching with eyes open, Si'er showed timidity at first, shaking and loosening his hands, half of Sai Tianxian's body directly landed on the ground.Pei Ling immediately became angry, and wanted to grab Si'er when she came up.Si'er hurriedly waved his hands to run away, "It's not me, it's not me. Uncle asked me to lead you away, so he knocked you unconscious and let us take you away."

Just as Pei Ling was about to turn his head to confront Uncle Cao, Cao San'er, who was in the yard, came out of the warehouse shirtless and embarrassed, "He's dead, he's dead."

"Who died?"

"Xiaohong is dead."

Pei Ling let go of Si'er in disbelief, "You said Xiaohong is dead?"

"The liar just came back and said he had something to ask Xiaohong. Xiaohong just wanted to wash up, so I left to fetch water for her. When I go back, Xiaohong will die inside!"

That's the person who killed Yi Yi, so he ran so fast just now?But why did he kill Xiaohong?

Wo Lidou can't be picked when someone is killed, the few people immediately let go, let Sai Tianxian lie in the middle of the courtyard and ran to the warehouse to check.

Xiaohong was lying in the warehouse, her eyes were open with her white face and red lips, one side of her clothes was hanging down, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, she seemed to have been shot dead from behind.Seeing her miserable and horrific death, the members of the Cao family drew back their feet and hid behind Pei Ling. Pei Ling couldn't bear her dying like this, and went forward to close her eyes, but Uncle Cao stopped her .

"Oh, don't leave fingerprints, they will be found out."

Pei Ling didn't care about this, "You should still worry about the marks your nephew left on her."

Cao San'er felt bad when he heard it, "What should I do, what should I do? She and I are...uncle, why don't we deal with it."

"Idiot, if you deal with it, you won't be able to explain it."

There was already a commotion behind them, and Pei Ling couldn't help but want to sigh, but at this moment, they actually wanted to get rid of the relationship. Since something happened, neither of them could get away with it.Pei Ling just felt sorry for her, and wondered what to do if her old mother, who was in poor health, knew the news.

Why did you want to kill Xiaohong?

Pei Ling was puzzled, but she closed her eyes pitifully for her. Seeing that she was wearing scanty clothes, she wanted to find a piece of clothing to cover her, but accidentally found the pattern on her body.

There seemed to be some kind of pattern drawn on the ground, only a corner was exposed under Xiaohong's pressure, but just looking at that corner, it felt weird.Is it the message left by Xiaohong?But if she was killed in a short period of time, would she still have a chance to leave such a complicated pattern behind?That must have been drawn before he died.Why is she drawing a pattern that no one can understand for no reason?

He also wanted to turn over the body to check, but Cao Hong in the yard outside went mad first, beating and smashing in the yard.When everyone heard the movement, they rushed to the yard to suppress Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was just stupid before, but it was the first time he suddenly went berserk. Pei Ling vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he had to inform Qiu Feilin.Seeing that Cao Hong was going crazy, Uncle Cao hurriedly directed Cao San'er and Si'er to step forward and stop him.

"Quick, quick! Go and suppress the person, don't lead anyone over to see someone dead in this courtyard, we won't be able to tell when the time comes!"

Si'er rolled up his sleeves and was about to push Cao Hong down, but Cao Hong was so aggressive that he would smash something when he lifted it. It was really difficult for him to suppress someone by himself, so he could only yell at the palm of his hand twice, " San'er, let's go up together." After finishing speaking, Cao San'er did not hear any response.Si'er felt strange and looked back at Cao San'er.Cao San'er bowed his head and stood motionless on the spot.

Uncle Cao was in a hurry, and he jumped up and down, "San'er, what are you doing?"

Cao San'er raised his head abruptly, and shouted, "Don't come here, don't come here." There was a sound of crying after shouting, Pei Ling looked at him and fell to the ground in astonishment, "Xiao Hong , I didn't harm you, don't come here!"

It was Xiao Hong who Cao San'er was calling, but there was no living Xiao Hong in the courtyard, and the only Xiao Hong was still lying quietly on the floor of the warehouse.Is this bewitched?

"Si'er, pinch him quickly!"

However, no one responded to Uncle Cao's words, Si'er stood still in place, his eyes were blank, and after a while he suddenly smiled, "Auntie?" Then Uncle Cao also fell to the ground in response, just like Cao San'er, looking horrified. Staring at nothingness.

Looking at the chaos in front of him, Pei Ling didn't know what to do. The first thing he thought of was Sai Tianxian who was lying alone on the ground.He stepped forward, thinking to confirm how Sai Tianxian was. The smoke that stuck to his trousers and floated leisurely into the courtyard rose behind him.The figure spoke behind Pei Ling.

"Ling."
