Special Red Wine Supplier [Interstellar]

It was not Du Kang who opened the door, but a middle-aged man who had met twice before.

With a freshly lit cigarette in his mouth, Lu Wenqing lazily leaned against the door frame, putting on a dejected look of a Hong Kong movie hero in the [-]s.

Chen Yaozhi nodded to him, and handed over the red wine.

Lu Wenqing looked confused, stretched out two fingers, held the thin neck of the wine bottle to his eyes, and shook it. "It's wine, I thought it was lubricant."

Chen Yaozhi was expressionless.

"That's right, if it was Du Kang who sent you off, how could it be you who sent him off? The boss doesn't seem to be a proactive and enthusiastic person." Lu Wenqing said, and sprayed a smoke ring on Chen Yaozhi.

If it were someone else, if they were teased like this, they would either run away from the door or yell at them in embarrassment.Unfortunately, Lu Wenqing was facing Chen Yaozhi.He just replied indifferently: "This is a soul redemption ceremony."

Before Chen Yaozhi thought that Lu Wenqing and Du Kang were very similar in character.But after the encounter just now, he can be sure that the two are opposites on a similar level.

Du Kang's frivolity is on the surface, facing a certain group of people, and he is still a gentleman in his bones.Lu Wenqing's frivolity was revealed in his bones, let alone people, he could flirt with dogs a few times, and he was full of ruffian in the market.

"What is the soul redemption ceremony?" Lu Wenqing was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter what it is, just remember to return the gift." A voice came from behind Chen Yaozhi.

No need to look back, Chen Yaozhi knew it was Du Kang.

Lu Wenqing rolled his eyes, inserted a few puffs of cigarettes into the hole in the wall, and while searching for items in the storage container, he said dissatisfiedly: "Boss Chen probably doesn't even know my name, is it suitable for me to give you this gift?" ?”

"No need, it's just a small gift according to the custom." Chen Yaozhi said.

"Don't, don't, don't." Lu Wenqing waved his hand, "To save money and eliminate disasters, Lord Lu, no matter what I say, I want to serve the boss well."

Boss man?Chen Bitzhi squinted his eyes slightly, turned sideways, and looked at Du Kang.

Today's Du Kang is dressed in white, and the soft shirt makes him look extraordinarily elegant.It's a pity that this gentleness disappeared immediately after he spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How do you call my person? Use the exact words. You should call me my darling, my little baby, my jewel in the palm..."

Before Chen Yaozhi could react, Lu Wenqing vomited with nausea, picked up the cigarette stuck on the wall, and threw it straight at Du Kang.

Fortunately, Du Kang was agile, and Wei Wei avoided the powerful object with one side.

Lu Wenqing finally found something from the storage container and handed it to Chen Yaozhi.It was a copper-yellow bracelet with ten animal face balls strung on it, which was quite exquisite.

Lu Wenqing stuffed the thing into Chen Bitezhi's hand, and explained: "This is a protective shield, a work of Shangguan Yi, a master of utensils. Usually when you go out to defend against a strange beast attack, ordinary mech energy cannons are no problem. Of course, don't play it dead. This shield can probably prevent a level [-] damage."

If it was an ordinary accessory, Chen Yaozhi would not hypocritically refuse it.But when he heard Lu Wenqing's words, even though he was full of disgust inside and out, he knew that this thing was of extraordinary value.

Chen Yaozhi handed back the bracelet: "The gift of soul redemption is based on the heart. If I accept the heart, the things will be lost."

Lu Wenqing glanced at him, but didn't answer.After digging into his pocket for a while, he found a cigarette again and lit it.

"No, Master Lu, I gave it away. There is absolutely no reason to want it back. Besides, don't think this thing is rare. This thing was given by my predecessor. I used it once when it was just around the corner, and it probably still works. Nine times. You can wear it if you think it works, and throw it away if you don’t like it, and treat it as an eyesore for me.” Lu Wenqing said.

When Chen bit one, he was speechless.Before and after his time travel, he had never heard of anyone reusing the waste of his predecessor's gift, and he was not ashamed at all to say it.

Chen Yaozhi held up the bracelet, he couldn't take it or throw it away, it was extremely embarrassing.

Du Kang stepped forward: "Just accept it, this thing is really useful."

Lu Wenqing snorted: "My sweetheart wears other people's things, I can't bear it."

"I don't have the tolerance to wear my ex's gift on someone else." Du Kang was not annoyed, he just made some sarcastic remarks, and a few pieces of meat were indispensable.

Lu Wenqing knew that the debate was really going on, and he was definitely not Du Kang's opponent, so he turned his back, shook his hand, and walked into the room.

Outside the house, Du Kang unbuttoned his shirt, took off the trace of polite camouflage, and jokingly said: "If you want to see me, come here, why do you need to find a high-sounding reason. My body and mind are open for you."

Chen Bitzhi let out a snort, and put away the brass bracelet with a smirk, and turned around to leave with the little Corgi in his arms.

Du Kang hurriedly stopped him: "Just kidding, it's getting late, didn't we make an appointment to celebrate the Soul Festival together today, let's go."

Chen Yaozhi didn't resist, and nodded in agreement.Before leaving, he glanced back at the shop which was closed again.

"What is your shop doing?" Chen Yaozhi asked.He was really curious.This store is located in a busy city, but the door is closed all day long. Is it really to play a big hermit in the city, or is it a different kind of sentiment of a rich man?

"You really want to know?"

"kindness."

"After you know it, you will be mine."

"That's fine."

Blue Star Central Plaza.

If it were a normal festival, the central square would be full of people, but today it was a little different. Although there were crowds of people at first glance, it was unexpectedly silent.

Chen Yaozhi does as the Romans do, he doesn't say a word, but he usually doesn't like to talk too much.

The square is covered with bamboo curtains and dark engraved fabrics. The light passes through the uneven slits, and the ground is covered with light and shadow like fish scales.The wind blows the bamboo curtains and floral cloth, and the light and shadow on the ground also flow, like a pool of spring water full of sorrow.

There are one-to-one human-shaped paper puppets in each bamboo curtain and floral cloth.

Even though it was broad daylight, Chen Yaozhi and little Keji felt terrified, because those paper puppets were too reminiscent of sacrifices before time travel.

Little Corgi turned around in Chen Yaozhi's arms, with his head facing his arms and his butt facing outwards, impolitely acting out of sight and out of sight.

Chen Yaozhi looked at the writhing little butt, and was speechless for a while.He is obviously a dog of feudal superstition, but when he encounters real feudal superstition, he still has to act like a righteous person to break the four evils.

"Not feeling well?" Du Kang slightly lowered his head and approached Chen Bitzhi's ear.

Chen Yaozhi shook his head, and continued walking with the flow of people on the square.

After a while, a paper puppet attracted his attention.The paper puppet was a handsome boy with a beautiful face, wearing a long robe with two lifelike white cranes embroidered on it.Chen Yaozhi was attracted because there was a boy sitting under the paper puppet, with the same face and costume as the paper puppet, but with a more delicate face.The soft light sprinkled between the boy's eyebrows, shining brightly.

"Isn't this paper puppet pierced by a dead person?" Chen Yaozhi finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

Du Kang paused for a moment, chuckled lightly, put his arms around Chen Yaozhi's shoulders, bent his head to one side, and put his heads together.

"As a native of Blue Star, how come I don't know the situation better than an outsider like me. How can I join your Chen family in the future when you are like this." Du Kang said with a smile.

Chen bites silently.

Du Kang didn't tease his sweetheart any more, and explained seriously: "The soul-redeeming paper doll is different from ordinary paper dolls. It is exquisite in workmanship and expensive in cost. Most importantly, it is made one-to-one according to the prototype of a real person."

As Du Kang said, he came to a bamboo curtain with his arms around Chen Yaozhi. Inside the bamboo curtain was an old man in his dying years, and in front of him was a paper doll dressed like him.

"In the early years, the redemption paper doll was used to dispel disasters and exorcise evil spirits. When a real person got an incurable disease, he made a doll, burned incense every day, and burned it on the night of the soul redemption festival, so that the doll could take away his illness. Of course, this Habits persist to this day."

As Du Kang said, he went to another bamboo curtain with his arms around Chen Yaozhi.

The girl inside the bamboo curtain is like a flower and jade, with a rosy face, obviously she doesn't seem to have any incurable disease.

"Nowadays, there are fewer cases of incurable diseases. Most of the redemption paper puppets are for redemption for yourself. If you have any unfulfilled wishes or unfinished regrets, you can make a redemption paper puppet to replace you. Do it yourself. Of course, everything is just a beautiful vision."

After Du Kang finished speaking, he looked at the people beside him, only to find that there was an indescribable sadness on that usually indifferent face.

"What's wrong?" Du Kang asked.

Chen Yaozhi paused, then shook his head.

For a moment, he felt that there was no difference between himself and the soul-redeeming paper puppet, living a life that had nothing to do with him in a body that was not his own.

No one to rely on, no relatives and no reason.

Suddenly, a burst of warmth came from Chen's neck after biting.Chen Yaozhi raised his eyes and found that Du Kang was massaging the back of his neck.

"This expression doesn't suit you." Du Kang said.

Chen Yaozhi pulled out a smile, and said calmly: "Well, you are right."

It was rare to get the approval of this person, so Du Kang continued his efforts: "How about we also make two dolls, and the best paper puppet masters will appear during the Soul Redemption Festival."

Chen Yaozhi thought about the proposal seriously.

Why do you make paper puppets?The unfulfilled wish, the regret for fulfillment?Does all this have anything to do with him?Just as he didn't know why he came here, he didn't know what he was concerned about in the past.

If it was an ordinary time traveler, he probably hoped that someone would do his filial piety for him.Give yourself a complete life in another world.Not for yourself, but for those who love you.

It's a pity that he is not an ordinary person, he comes and goes naked without any worries, speaks freely and freely, but is full of sadness when he is cut.

"Forget it." Chen Bitzhi said in a very soft voice.

It's a pity that with Du Kang around, all the rare hurts and sorrows can't last for more than 1 minute.

"Hey, it's a pity. Originally, I wanted to be two dolls in our wedding dresses. Let's realize my dream first. But don't worry, when everything is settled, I will marry you in a glorious manner."

The lingering melancholy fog dissipated in an instant, and the sadness on Chen Yaozhi's face faded away completely.

"I don't mind if you marry me." Du Kang laughed.

"Get lost." Chen Yaozhi ended the conversation succinctly.

==

Night fell quickly.

At a later time, the redemption dolls on the square will be burned together, which is the climax of the festival of redemption.

"Let's go." Chen Yaozhi said suddenly.

Du Kang was a little strange, didn't he wait for a day just for this moment?But he didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the square holding Chen Yaozhi's hand.

After walking a long way, Chen Yaozhi didn't look back.Even though he was far away from the square, he could still feel the temperature and brightness of the fire, as well as the cheers of the people on a silent day.

He didn't want to stay because he and the paper puppet had the same disease, and he didn't want to see himself being burned.

"Let's have dinner together, and then go to redeem the soul ship?" Du Kang said suddenly, not to consult, but to make a decision directly.

Chen Bitzhi nodded.Although he finds this person annoying, Chen Yaozhi has to admit that his way of getting along makes people feel very comfortable.Be decisive when you should be decisive, and be soft when you should be soft.

Blue Star's rivers are rich and criss-cross, but most of them are distributed in the exotic plant and animal areas. There are only two main rivers in the residential area, Wanxing River and Qianjin Road.

Du Kang and Chen Yaozhi came to Wanxinghe.

Just listening to the name of the river, you will definitely construct a wonderful scene in your mind, the river is gentle, the flowing water is gurgling, and thousands of stars are scattered on the river surface, shining brightly.

However, the fact is exactly the opposite, even Chen Yaozhi knows that the Wanxing River is a dangerous river.The structure of the bottom of the river channel is complicated, and the river water will make loud explosion-like noises from time to time, and there will often be eddies in the inner pages of the river channel, and the rushing water makes people stay away.

The Day of Atonement was a rare moment for Wan Xinghe to be peaceful.People will say that even the river has emotions, and they want to worship the gods of the past.Of course, the facts involve the tidal principle, but everyone ignores it.

The Wanxing River on Yom-soul Day is very lively, there are no stars, but there are lights.

The people who came to the Wanxing River each had a soul redemption boat, and the small wooden boat slowly flowed along the rare and warm river to the unknown area.

"There is a folklore that writes a secret that cannot be told on a note, drifts with the soul-redeeming boat, and sinks the river. When the secret is made public, it will be understood by everyone." Du Kang Walking past a booth, he looked at the men and women who were leaning over to write something, and said.

Chen Bitzhi laughed, knowing what he was thinking. "I'm afraid that my boat will be scooped up before it's sent out."

Du Kang was not ashamed at all when his thoughts were exposed, he chuckled lightly, and bought two soul-redeeming ships.

The boat made of wood and paper is very delicate, and there is a ring of small light bulbs around the boat, which is very bright in the dark.

"Write something." Du Kang handed over the pen and paper.

Chen Yaozhi was not timid, he finished writing with a few strokes, and stuffed the note into the cabin.He looked up and found that Du Kang was still writing, with a very serious expression on his face.

Release the soul-redeeming ship, and the two return together.

Du Kang suddenly discovered that the little Corgi that Chen Yaozhi had been holding in his arms had disappeared.He didn't think much about it. After all, normal people don't release their spiritual companions very much. Only a special person like Chen Yaozhi would hold little Corgi in his arms all day long.
