Three days have passed since I last chatted with the old man on Tuesday.
This day happened to be Saturday. I don’t know why, but the store was very busy. My parents were overwhelmed with people coming and going.
Mother didn't have time to come back to cook, so she had to take advantage of the break at noon to get some cooked food from the store, let Yu Peng take a bite of it, and then run back to the store to help without his feet touching the floor.
Usually, when his parents are not at home, Yu Peng will take a nap very regularly after lunch. He starts going to bed around 1:30 or 2 o'clock, and wakes up after 4 o'clock. He can find something to do at home to relax. Kill time
Either reading books, playing with toys, or watching TV for self-entertainment, but most of the time, I still sit in front of the window in a daze until my parents come back in the evening.
It seems boring, but Yu Peng has always felt that it is very comfortable and comfortable.
Yu Peng never thought that like other protagonists in TV or novels, he was busy learning knowledge secretly and diligently honing martial arts every day.
He felt that it was boring, and it would be better to enjoy the leisurely life now, how comfortable it was!
In the beginning, Yu Peng's parents were not as big-hearted as they are now.
It was only when Yu Peng was more than 1 year old that his parents slowly discovered that Yu Peng was still different from ordinary children.
After many times and various methods of testing, we finally found some clues
He learns things quickly. If you show him something, he may seem indifferent, but after a few days, you will find that he has already learned how to apply it.
He is obedient and obedient. Unlike other children who would only make a fuss when he was over 1 year old, Yu Peng is very obedient and honest. His honesty is a bit abnormal.
Especially at certain times, the way Yu Peng looks at people and things is too calm and rational. Is this what a 1-year-old child should have?
Even teenagers can't do it, right?
But as new parents, they didn't know what to do. They also secretly inquired about the growth experiences of many gifted children, or those miraculous, reincarnations, etc.
Finally, after many discussions, both of them felt that the childhood of many gifted children was filled with all kinds of fantasy and strange things.
Slowly, that's it. Anyway, neither of them knew how to intervene appropriately. Later, as their parents were busy outside during the day many times, they found that Yu Peng could take good care of himself when he came back.
I gradually relaxed my mind and allowed myself to stay at home.
Come to think of it, whether gifted children want to learn well or want to learn badly, parents as ordinary people cannot handle it. It is naturally good to learn well. What else can ordinary people ask for in their lives, but that their children are safe? If they learn It's broken, what can we do?
Just let nature take its course
Today, Yu Peng did not take a nap
Things happened so suddenly in the past few days that Yu Peng never felt sleepy. He didn't want to watch TV or anything else to kill time, so he just lay in front of the window sill in the living room in a daze.
In fact, I didn't think about anything, I was just in a daze.
When you are in trance
Suddenly a hand slapped on his shoulder, making Yu Peng tremble again.
This time Yu Peng shouted out, quickly turned his head, and angrily wanted to talk to the old man Zhou Zhou.
But as soon as he turned around and was about to open his mouth, he held it back forcefully.
This time it’s not the ghost of Old Man Tuesday, but two other ghosts standing in the living room? Spirit?
For a while, Yu Peng's mind was still used to seeing them as ghosts, but he didn't know what to call these special human beings? Or called a creature? Doesn't seem right either
On Tuesday, the old man was still dressed in the same style, rustic, and exuded the aura of an old farmer in the field.
There was also a woman in a white dress, with good looks and a tall figure, who looked like a fairy descending to earth, looking at her with a smile.
The other one was a bronze-colored, extremely strong man. His appearance seemed very ordinary, with a big face, but his eyes were cold and his features were sharp. Where he stood, he was as solid as a wall. Yu Peng once wondered if he was Made of copper
Then, from behind the fairy-like woman's long skirt, a fox head was revealed, emitting a warm light golden light, shaking its head, looking at Yu Peng with a puzzled expression.
The old man looked at Yu Peng with a playful expression on Tuesday, and his tone of voice suddenly became a bit mean.
"I've told a few of them about you. Let's come over today to meet and chat with you."
Then he introduced them one by one: "This is Miss Chen Song who I told you before, this strong man is Gu Ze, and this little guy, um... he doesn't have a name, just ignore it."
When the little fox heard this, he suddenly jumped out from behind Chen Song's skirt, stood up menacingly, put his feet on the ground, and used his tail to support the ground. He opened his teeth and claws and chirped at the old man Tuesday, with a fierce and cute look in his eyes. Staring at old man Tuesday
I don’t know what it is saying, but judging by its expression and actions
Most likely he is scolding...
What should animals say when they curse people? Yu Peng doesn’t know, but he is actually a little curious
After listening to the old man's introduction on Tuesday, Yu Peng first said yes, and then asked with a little doubt.
"Didn't I say that there are 5 of you, uh... 5? Is there another one?"
That woman with fairy-like clothes and even more fairy-like appearance, Chen Song, was always smiling and quickly replied:
"That Taoist priest, we said hello to him, but we usually have less contact, and we don't know if he will come, but we can't just keep putting it off, so we discussed it and came over to greet you first. Hello"
Yu Peng groaned, and sat down a little cautiously, with his hands on his legs. He looked like an obedient child, and looked at the several spirits in front of him in confusion.
I don’t know whether I should call me elder or senior.
The old man continued on Tuesday: "We have been chatting for several days. Today's society is different from before. There are too few people practicing Taoism in society now. Even if there are, they don't study as hard as before. There are almost the same In decades, we haven’t met a human being who can communicate with us, and he can keep communicating with us face to face like this without using any Taoism.”
"Although we don't know what your physique is or what special secrets you have, we all hope to have more contact with you. However, we don't have much experience and don't know what is suitable. After much thought, we decided Sit down and chat with you to show my respect for you."
Before he could speak, Chen Song rushed to speak.
"Please rest assured that we will never hurt you. Not only that, we will also try our best to protect you. After all, you are too unusual. The world's strange people, anecdotes, geniuses and treasures all conform to the cycle of heaven and earth and the luck of the atmosphere. "Sheng, your future must be very ordinary. We hope we can help you, and at the same time leave some incense and love for yourself."
After a moment of silence, Yu Peng looked at Gu Ze with a questioning expression.
The ancient saying of the Han Dynasty that he chose an urn to make him angry
"I just have the strength. According to what we have discussed, in the future, I will protect you in the interface of the dead. In this area, except for the old man underground, I can be regarded as the best one."
At this time, the little fox also jumped and looked at Yu Peng. He gestured with his two forelimbs and made a few chirping sounds. Then he lowered his forelimbs and walked slowly towards Yu Peng. He didn't look unfamiliar at all. , jumped onto the sofa and curled up next to Yu Peng
Yu Peng stared at the little fox blankly, but of course he didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He looked at Chen Song with doubts in his head.
The reason why it is not the old man Zhou Zhou who has met twice, but Chen Song whom he met for the first time. It is obvious. It was seen just now that the little fox is obviously closer to Chen Song. If it were not for the introduction, Yu Peng would definitely You will suspect that the little fox is Chen Song’s pet
Moreover, one was a dark, wrinkled old man with a stooped body and mind, and the other was a beautiful woman with an outstanding appearance who exuded fairy spirit. Yu Peng decisively chose to get close to the latter
Chen Song has indeed had the most contact with the little fox, understands it best, and responds with a smile
"It says it wants to eat fruits, drink mountain spring water, wants you to smooth its fur, and wants you to play with it."
If it were an ordinary child, he would hug such a cute little fox immediately, right? Help it smooth its fur, hold it and play with it
It's just that this is Yu Peng, who is of course different from ordinary children. Even though the little fox was very obvious and took the initiative to show his kindness, Yu Peng still moved slightly, farther away from the little fox, and then pursed his lips and thought deeply.
The human world is complex and ever-changing, and people's minds are unpredictable. Even his parents, Yu Peng has not dared to talk too much about himself with them, for fear of having some impact or causing too many changes.
What is the world of the dead like? Whether I watch TV or listen to my parents' occasional conversations, I don't have any good impressions of ghosts. They are all fear and fear, not to mention that above ordinary ghosts, there are so-called spirits.
Although Yu Peng has rational thinking beyond ordinary people, he is limited by experience and is still cautious rather than curious about such unknown things.
Moreover, Yu Peng was not a child with too much curiosity.
Curiosity killed the cat. It is said that cats have nine lives, which may not be enough for Huo Huo. You only have one life, so you have to be more careful.
The two sides fell silent. After a few minutes, Yu Peng took the lead in breaking the silence, and finally raised his head and asked.
"Do you know what's going on with me?"
There was collective silence again, and several spirits responded to Yu Peng with blank expressions. Maybe they didn't know, maybe they didn't know how to say it, and they were speechless.
Even the little fox looked up blankly, glanced at Yu Peng, sighed, and continued to curl up on the sofa.
At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the air in the living room, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He was a Taoist wearing a simple Taoist robe, a very simple Taoist hat on his head, and his hands making a weird gesture. , legs curled up, just floating in the air
"The poor Taoist Luo Zhen, whose Taoist name has returned to dust, is here to trouble you all."
