Burning fire

"Old lady... Where's the ghost?" Zhou Qizun asked.

"It's gone." Lin Juan said in a muffled voice, "Your Excellency kindly let her go, if she doesn't hurry up find a dark place to hide, she must bask in the sun."

Although the young boy beat his feet and stamped the word "death" on the soles of his feet, his heart was soft and he couldn't bear it.

"She was supposed to wait for the messenger to come at the place where she died...why didn't Yan Luodian send the messenger?" Guo Xiaotong asked.

Her rabbit's head was really touched by a cobbler, she is stupid and stupid, and she can't open any pot and carry it.

"Because she doesn't deserve to die yet." Lin Juan said solemnly.

——Killed to death by evil spirits, her book of life and death has not yet been completed.Again.

Lin Juan: "Why is she? Obviously my lord is here, so I can send her to the Hall of Yama. Why is she...for something, she doesn't even want the chance of reincarnation.

Seeing Lin Juan's ashen face, Guo Xiaotong realized that he had said something wrong and dared not speak any more.

"Grandma probably has a wish." Guo Qingxuan said, "She came to this street, maybe this street has some special meaning to her."

"What's this? It's all about being wiped out, and you don't even want your next life. What's the point of that?" Lin Juan felt even more uncomfortable.

"People always have things they can't let go of." Guo Qingxuan smiled at Lin Juan, "The old grandma was sitting in the corner of the coffin just now, facing her little granddaughter, she has been refusing to leave, maybe those people are right, she still I can't bear to have children."

"No matter why, she is no longer here." Zhang Jueming's words were a knot in the conversation between Guo Qingxuan and Lin Juan.

There is nothing more to say about this.You shouldn't guess too much.

Everyone in the world has their own anger and ignorance, some proclaim it in their mouths, and some hide it deep in their hearts.

The ghost of the old lady is gone, no one will know her story, and no one will know why she would rather be out of her wits than bask in the sun.

Or maybe, for the time being, it is an old ghost who has been suffering from a long illness, hopeless in the bleak world, just simply, ignorantly, simply... wanting to bask in the sun.

.

Turning this street, Zhang Jueming quickened his pace, and he didn't open his mouth to speak again.A group of five walked a small path, everyone could see that Zhang Jueming was not at ease.

"Your Excellency is so kind." Guo Xiaotong, a noisy rabbit, feared that the world would not be chaotic, so she must be the first to talk nonsense.

"I didn't expect the lord to be like this at first." Lin Juan paused, but then he continued, "At first, because the dragon saliva beads met the lord, I didn't dare to approach him at all."

Lin Juan: "The mountain ghost guards the Nine Nether Gates, and is in the same group as the Yan Luo Palace under the [-]th floor of hell. Besides, my lord is not a real mountain ghost. I am a Yin person, and I am a bit like him."

"What do you look like? You are so good-looking, don't put gold on your ugly face." Guo Xiaotong gave Lin Juan a white look.

"No, I'm not saying they look alike." Lin Juan muttered, "I mean...just...we're not 'normal' people."

Zhou Qizun in the front subconsciously slowed down when he heard this, his ears were paying attention to Lin Juan's words behind him, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Jueming's tall and broad back in front.

He didn't intend to listen to other people's words, but...the first time Zhang Jueming poked his heart seriously was in the cave. Zhou Qizun saw the injury on Zhang Jueming's back, and Zhang Jueming asked him "" Is it disgusting?"

"It's just...... Oh, I can't tell you clearly, and you won't understand." Lin Juan's mouth is stupid, and he can't express well. "Anyway, I am a human being, and I don't like being called a yin person. Why is it for no reason? Multiple 'Yin' characters?"

Lin Juan: "Your Excellency should be the same, he is a flesh and blood body, even if he thinks about it, he would not be happy to stay under the [-]th floor of hell, with demons and ghosts as companions."

"My lord must not be easy. He may have suffered a lot when he was a child." Lin Juan wrinkled his nose, and said sourly, he missed Master, "I met Master, otherwise I must be anti-social. "

"Just relying on you, what can you tell?" Guo Xiaotong was extremely puzzled, and threw Lin Juan cold water unceremoniously.

"..." Lin Juan has nothing to say, he really has no skills, the biggest skill is that he doesn't have the same knowledge as a rabbit.

"Take a step back and open the sea and the sky, take a step back and open the sea and the sky." Lin Juan muttered to himself.

The next two live treasures had no words to bite, Zhou Qizun put his ears back, he quickened his pace, and caught up with Zhang Jueming.

Zhou Qizun has always been a bad person, and he has no interest in other people's privacy. Even relatives, friends, including former lovers, he never asks about the past or the future.

For people, meeting is fate. If we get along well, we can get together to live the "now" together and accompany each other steadily every day, which is already very rare.

But he really wanted to know—what secret did Zhang Jueming have.There was also Zhang Jueming's indifferent attitude, he was obviously moved, but he avoided it time and time again.

Zhou Qizun guessed that Zhang Jueming's "embarrassment" was probably related to his past experiences.

Zhou Qizun wanted to know.He wanted to know everything about Zhang Jueming, even if it was a world he had never heard of, even if it was a dangerous fork.

"How much I like him." Zhou Qizun thought silently, he looked down on himself a little bit - he was young, and he ignored his children's love for so many years, and somehow fell on Zhang Jueming.

The heartbeat came quickly and accurately, like a tornado, suddenly blowing over, and people fell into it.

Zhou Qizun took another two quick steps, stepped forward and stood side by side with Zhang Jueming: "Jueming."

"Ok?"

Zhang Jueming didn't have Zhou Qizun's fancy eyes, just thinking about Zhou Qizun's ghostly eyes, all the nerves in his body were tense.Zhou Qizun called him suddenly, but before he could react, his face was serious and cold.

"Ice Beauty"? ...... Zhou Qizun was so scared that Zhou Qizun was in a state of shock when the words came out.

"It's okay." Zhou Qizun swallowed, then sighed again, "It seems that we are going to walk to Dongyang's house?"

"If you really can't get a taxi, that's the only way to go." Zhang Jueming said, "I guess it will take more than an hour to walk."

"Are you hungry? There should be restaurants or shops open in front of you. You can eat this first and make do with it." After a few words, Zhang Jueming's face softened. He dug in his backpack and juggled As if, he took out a piece of chocolate and gave it to Zhou Qizun.

Zhou Qizun blinked: "Chocolate?"

He narrowed his eyes: "Is it still Dove?"

"Let's have some food first." Zhang Jueming turned his eyes away, not looking at Zhou Qizun.

Zhou Qizun: "..."

It's really not his fault, look at Xiao Shangui, she looks like a young girl in love, "she" has a hard time expressing her thoughts, handing a piece of chocolate to her sweetheart, and expressing her love with "Dove"...

Zhou Qizun shook his head quickly, disgusted by his own imagination.If Zhang Jueming plays like this again, there are only two results in the end. One is that Zhou Qizun beats him, and it is best to "return to the bed together", and the other is that Zhou Qizun turns on a new switch and becomes a pervert.

"I'm used to you." Zhou Qizun roughly tore off the wrapping paper, and bit off half of the chocolate in one bite.

"What?" Zhang Jueming absolutely couldn't hear Zhou Qizun scolding him in a fit of madness, and asked honestly, "For what?"

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Zhou Qizun gritted his teeth, being scorched by the sun at noon in spring, he glared at Zhang Jueming, after all he didn't chant, he just put the remaining half of chocolate to Zhang Jueming's mouth: "Eat."

"I don't need it, you can eat it." Zhang Jueming said.

"I don't like sweets, I eat too much." Zhou Qizun said with a wooden face.

"But I don't have anything else." Zhang Jueming really believed it. Not only did he believe it, but he also pulled out a bottle of water from his bag, "If you think it's nasty, just drink some water."

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Take it, take it, okay?You are pure, you are beautiful and inviolable.

Zhang Jueming, who is it?This is really wonderful, it's hard to tell who's making the move and who's making the right move, the two of them might as well make a tight buckle, twisting together and stumbling to death.

"Drink some more." Zhou Qizun refused to drink for a long time, Zhang Jueming said again.

Zhou Qizun took the water in silence, raised his head and took a sip, then stretched out his hand suddenly, and directly put the remaining half of chocolate into Zhang Jueming's mouth.

Zhang Jueming stepped on the ground, stopped, and would not go: "..."

Zhou Qizun didn't mind talking to Zhang Jueming again. He turned around and looked at Lin Juan behind him, drinking water and said, "We have to walk by foot, and it will take more than an hour."

Zhang Jueming: "..."

The chocolate was bittersweet, rich and dense, soaking on the tip of his tongue and reaching the bottom of his lungs.

.

After walking on the road for more than an hour, they finally arrived at Lei Dongyang's house.

They passed by a small restaurant that was open, but when they opened the door and went in, they didn't look at the people in the store. They had to open the door and go out again with an empty stomach.

Finally, they found a shop in a corner with great difficulty. Zhang Jueming went in and bought some bread and sausages.

"I'm a little sleepy when I'm full." Lin Juan rubbed his eyes.

"Blood sugar has come up, it's normal." Zhou Qizun said, he squinted his eyes and was hurt by the reflection.

Zhang Jueming took a step to the side, blocking the light for Zhou Qizun: "Is your eyes uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Zhou Qizun shook his head.

"Is it because of ghost eyes?" Lin Juan asked nervously.

"Probably not." Zhou Qizun frowned, "My eyes were injured eight or nine years ago, and I have long been unable to see strong light, and my eyesight is not good."

Zhang Jueming lowered his head slightly, and he paused for a while before saying, "This is a residential area. I see that many of them have small mirrors on their windows. The mirrors reflect light. You just walk with your head down."

"Mirror? Why did you hang the mirror?" Guo Xiaotong asked without understanding.

"To ward off evil spirits," said Lin Juan.

"An ancient mirror is like an ancient sword. If there is a god, it can avoid evil and evil. (Note)" Guo Qingxuan also said, "But it is a big mirror. This is just a way to ward off evil that was spread by the people earlier."

"It seems that the people in the town are really scared of being tossed." Guo Xiaotong pursed the corners of his mouth.

"Can you not be afraid? This is an old town. There are not many people, the place is small, and it is not developed. Most of the young people go out to work, and the local people's thinking is inevitably backward. In addition, in the first half of the year, there have been accidents and deaths every month on time. , it’s hard not to be afraid.”

Zhou Qizun raised his finger to the left, and there happened to be a small courtyard over there.

It must be a relatively wealthy family, the yard is the largest, and the gate is wide and high: "There are peach charms and door gods on the gate."

Zhou Qizun: "I've probably exhausted all the ways to ward off evil spirits. The old lady just now also used a red lacquer coffin to ward off evil spirits."

"These things are useless to the five-fingered claws." Zhang Jueming said in a deep voice, "We still have to find it quickly and find the wooden slip."

"It's really useless." Zhou Qizun nodded.

I really don't know whether to say that ordinary people are ignorant, or to hate them for being weak.
