"As the old saying goes, a female college student hugs a gold brick, and the more she hugs it, the more she likes it. Your brother-in-law is three years younger than me..." When Yang Lan said this, her expression dimmed.
"By the way, why haven't I seen my brother-in-law? Doesn't he work in the county?" Zhou Jiaonan didn't know and asked directly.
"When your brother-in-law died, our child was only seven years old..." Yang Lan secretly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Sacrifice?" Zhou Jiaonan was stunned.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about you. I'll find a chance to ask Xiaotian for you. Don't be too sad." Yang Lan immediately put on a smile and changed the topic.
"What are we? He and I have nothing to do..." Zhou Jiaonan lowered his head shyly. After all, she was still a little girl, and she would definitely be led around by the nose in front of Yang Lan.
"What happened this time is very dangerous. I think we should wait until later to avoid disturbing his mind." Yang Lan immediately changed the topic to business matters.
"It's my fault. It's my fault for being ignorant. Sister, what should I do? Will he hate me?" Zhou Jiaonan became nervous.
If I see this scene, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to help telling everything.
"It's okay, that kid's mind is much broader than you think, just like what happened this time..." Yang Lan told Zhou Jiaonan about the fines imposed by our store and the ghost possession of his son.
"What should we do now? It's so embarrassing to go back." Zhou Jiaonan rubbed his clothes with both hands, like a little daughter-in-law waiting to meet her parents.
"What's so embarrassing? Be brave. Such a good boy will be gone if you miss him." Yang Lan patted Zhou Jiaonan on the back and encouraged him.
"Well..." Zhou Jiaonan pondered for a while, then raised his head with a smile.
In the ward, with Heizi's talent for language, my story came vividly from his mouth to Gao Feng's ears in a short period of time.
"Xiaotian, I believe Xiaozhou won't mind, but brother also understands your difficulties. What do you think this is? It's just a trick of fate. Two such good young people, hey..." Gao Feng had tears in his eyes. looked at me.
"Brother, I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me." I said and raised my left hand.
"I will." Gao Feng nodded heavily.
Outside the door, Yang Lan held Zhou Jiaonan's hand, and the two walked in talking and laughing.
Gao Feng also quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Heizi stays. Everyone, please go back. We will set off at dawn." I directly issued an eviction order.
"No, you're already unconscious. How can you do such a dangerous thing? At least you need to rest for a few days." Zhou Jiaonan immediately became angry.
Sometimes, it is impossible to hide your love for someone.
"I'm fine. I just used up too much energy and energy. After the injection, I feel alive again. Besides, we can wait, but Taiping Village can't wait." I tried my best to control my emotions and explained in the gentlest tone.
"He is sure of himself. You look so haggard. It won't look pretty if you continue like this." Yang Lan's words always hit Zhou Jiaonan's heart.
"That's right, there is still work tomorrow. Let Xiaotian calm down and have a good rest. They must also be prepared to deal with their own work. Let's go." Gao Feng took this opportunity to stand up.
"Then you must pay attention to safety..." Zhou Jiaonan walked to the bed and actually took my right hand.
Those loving eyes made me shudder.
"Okay, I understand." I nodded nervously.
"Brother, take care." Gao Feng put his hand on my shoulder and used a little force.
"I know." I looked directly into his concerned eyes. This feeling was a silent encouragement between men.
"Sister, it's time to go back. She has to go to work tomorrow." Yang Lan also said and stood up.
"We will send you off." Gao Feng took the initiative to take on this task.
"Then I'll trouble you." Yang Lan followed with a smile.
Only Zhou Jiaonan, turning back three times every step, kept waving goodbye to me.
It wasn't until my smile froze on my face that she disappeared from my sight.
"Hey...asking what love is in this world is so heart-wrenching. Hey..." Heizi was so excited about poetry that he stood with his hands behind his back, facing the window. It made my skin crawl.
"Stop talking nonsense, have you prepared all the things I want you to prepare?" I grabbed the pillow and smashed it.
"I've already prepared it, but what are these things you asked me to find? It's such a mess, it's wasted all my hard work." Heizi turned around and caught the pillow and complained.
"The butcher's knife can kill countless lives and has extremely murderous intent. It can be considered the most evil thing." I knew he wanted me to explain.
"Use this to kill ghosts? You told me earlier, why should I use the peach wood sword? I have to grind it hard and spend a lot of money before they are willing to sell it to me." Heizi seemed to have some shadows about the peach wood sword.
"That's not the way to kill you, uncle. You will know when the time comes." I said impatiently.
"Then what's going on with this beggar's bowl? Are you inviting a ghost to eat?" Heizi frowned.
"A beggar's bowl is considered a good thing, but it is useful after all." I couldn't explain it to him for a while.
"What does this broken bowl have to do with Zhishan? It's not enough for me to exchange it for a new one. It also cost me a hundred dollars." Heizi looked unhappy.
"There are real and fake beggars, but the money put into that bowl is not the kindness of everyone in the world. The bowl contains the kindness of everyone in the world. How can it not be considered the best?" This is what the master told me.
"Holy crap, this logic is awesome, tell me about these three-inch shoes." Heizi became interested.
"Tell me where you found it first." I asked with a smile.
Three-inch shoes are the shoes worn by the older generation of women with bound feet. Those feet are called three-inch golden lotus.
"I went back to the village and asked the village chief to find Aunt Liu's mother at the entrance of the village and beg for a pair." Heizi said proudly.
"You just said that my grandma could die, and she should be damned." I couldn't help but curse.
"This thing is a product of the oppression of the old society. Many women have been wronged in these things. This thing can be regarded as the ultimate yin." I continued to explain angrily.
"The butcher's knife is the ultimate evil; the beggar's bowl is the ultimate kindness; the three-inch shoes are the ultimate yin. What does the combination of these three things mean?" Heizi's eagerness to learn came back.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a life-saving thing. Are you ready with all the other things?" I waved my hand.
"I bought all the paper money, incense and candles, and I also bought a few big roosters and two boxes of firecrackers." Heizi looked at me smugly, waiting for me to praise him.
"Crazy, why did you buy a big cock and firecrackers?" I frowned and cursed.
"When we were dealing with starving ghosts before, didn't you say that these two things were miraculous in driving away ghosts..." Heizi looked puzzled, and I raised my hand to interrupt.
"That's fine for a mere starving ghost, but what is that thing on Taiping Mountain? It must be seventy or eighty years ago, right? You go there with a big rooster and firecrackers, don't attract any more powerful things. "After all, he is my junior brother, so I have to bear with him if his brain is not good.
"Then what's the deal? I bought everything." Heizi looked aggrieved.
"We'll find a restaurant to process it when we get back, and keep the firecrackers to celebrate our return alive." I said with a wry smile.
"Then according to what you say, these paper money and incense candles are useless. After all, everything on Taiping Mountain has been created for decades." Heizi was not to be outdone.
"Paper money buys the road, and incense sticks stay. Junior brother, you still have a lot to learn." I said, pulling up the quilt, closing my eyes and lying down.
"I really want to pick your brains out and see what good things you are hiding." Heizi complained and lay down directly on the empty bed next to me.
The tacit understanding between the two is actually very good, but I can only teach him the relevant Taoist knowledge in one go, and I can't remember it all at once.
At dawn, Dahei came with sesame seed cakes in his mouth.
"Dahei, you worked hard to look after the store yesterday." I took it with a smile and touched Dahei's head.
After waking up Heizi who couldn't open his eyes, we ate the sesame seeds and went directly to the store.
"Where is the equipment that Uncle Wang gave us?" I opened my mouth.
"That's not it." Heizi pointed to a metal cabinet leaning against the wall with a padlock on it.
"No wonder Dahei is watching." I nodded and looked at Dahei.
Heizi took the key from Dahei's neck and stepped forward to open the cabinet. Good guy, there are two crossbows, one big and one small. These are real crossbows, with optical sights on them.
"Everything else is here." Heizi raised his foot and kicked the box in front of the tea table.
