Chapter 536 Returning to the bun shop and family reunion
Jin An wants to find more clues from the little girl about the nightmare of the ghost mother and how to escape the nightmare.
But the little girl slept for too long.
I don't remember many things.
"Sure enough, we should start with the Chen Family Ancestral Hall?" Jin An thought to himself.
It seems that a direct conflict between him and the Sangmen, Yan Kuan, and the leader of the Black Rain Kingdom is inevitable.
"Brother Dao Dao, did I not help you?" The little girl seemed to have done something wrong and looked at Jin An in frustration.
"No." Jin An rubbed the little girl's head and said with a gentle smile.
"Brother, why are your eyebrows like this..." The little girl imitated Jin An's frown. Her cute look successfully made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Next, after a short discussion, everyone decided to go back to the Baozi Shop to replenish supplies, such as fresh water and food, and then continue towards the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.
They have been delayed here for a day, and everyone immediately packs up and gets on the road.
The place where they are hiding now is an ordinary house. There is no owner in the house, it is only dilapidated and abandoned. It is unknown what disaster happened that year, resulting in many houses being empty.
When Jin An and the others came, they did not disturb the ghosts and monsters hiding in the buildings on both sides of the road, and when they returned, they also did not disturb these ghosts and monsters.
Because the most important thing for him now is time.
These minions couldn't provide much yin energy, so he didn't want to waste time on this.
It's still the same old street. Opposite the closed Fu Shou shop, there is a late-night bun shop. The smell of minced meat comes out at night, and it makes people hungry even from a distance.
When I left a few days ago, this street was blocked by a foster kid and an old man who summoned spirits, causing the place to be depopulated. Everyone who came close was eaten up by this young and old man.
But when Jin An came back this time, he clearly noticed some changes in the street. Let's call it more popular for the time being. He saw a few lingering figures near the street entrance, seeming to be hesitating whether to enter.
Judging from their careful looks, it seems that the kid and the old man who summoned spirits often prey on the common people and cannibalize them.
The few wandering figures noticed Jin An approaching and hid in a nearby vacant building, then quietly looked at Jin An and his group.
Taoist priest,
A piece of paper pricks a woman,
Half people and half paper prick people,
little girl,
a mouse,
What a weird combination.
Especially since the Taoist priest is still holding a memorial tablet for the deceased. If he takes off his Taoist robe and wears hemp and mourning, it will be like a funeral procession going to the grave.
This combination is so weird.
A Ping is no longer what he used to be. He noticed a few peeking eyes from a distance and whispered something to Jin An. Jin An glanced in the direction of A Ping's finger, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Those sneaky figures, the group continued walking into the street.
Although they had only been away from Baozi Pu for three or four days, when they set foot on this land again, Jin An actually felt like they had been away for a long time.
After all, it was here that he was dragged by the ghost mother to the place where he first appeared in the nightmare, where he beheaded a corpse for the first time, picked up a magic weapon for the first time, and met the red-clothed umbrella girl Zhizha and the Great Gray Immortal for the first time.
Not only Jin An, everyone else was also moved by the scene. Only the little girl opened her eyes with curiosity and fear, hiding behind Jin An and curiously looking at everything on the road.
In fact, the reason why Jin An took the time to go back to the bun shop had another purpose, that is, he wanted A Ping to go home and reunite his family of three.
The bun shop has always been deserted, but today it was rare that there were two diners sitting there.
One of the two diners was as skinny as a stick, with a neck as slender as the eye of a needle, but a very distended belly; the other was sitting on a bench, his body dripping with water, and his face was swollen and white.
This looks like a starving ghost and a drowned ghost.
For starving ghosts, the best thing to do is to have a full meal, unless the sky is about to fall. Jin An and his party just approached the bun shop, and the starving ghosts and drowned ghosts who were devouring their food all felt the pressure from the red umbrella girl.
The fierceness and resentment in Ren and Aping made their shoulders tremble with fear.
Especially when the girl in red umbrella walked to the door of the steamed stuffed bun shop, she had such a cold atmosphere, as if two little sheep encountered a ferocious tiger. She was so frightened that she didn't even eat the steamed buns and threw them
After paying the dead man's money, he disappeared from the spot.
Seeing that he and others scared away the guests as soon as they arrived, Jin An slapped his forehead: "Ahem, girl in red, we are home now, you can put away your Yin Qi for the time being. There are no evil people peeking at us here, only patrons.
Customers of the bun shop."
But now no one can hear what Jin An is saying. This is the first time that A Ping takes the initiative to stand in front of the bun shop proprietress. The couple, whose family was ruined by someone, looked at each other from a distance.
A Ping's eyes were gentle, the tenderness of a man after returning home, hiding endless longing.
The landlady also looked at the man she loved most in her life silently with gentle eyes.
"Shu, Shufang..."
"I……"
Aping used to feel ashamed to face the woman he loved most because of self-blame and guilt, and because he was burdened with a heavy burden and wanted to find his lost child.
Now he finally found the child. Not only did he find the child, he also killed the three murderers back then and avenged his bloody revenge.
He could finally face his wife and his heart again.
There are thousands of words in my throat, but at this moment, they are all choked in my throat: "Our child, I have found it!"
The choking in my throat finally turned into the heaviest sentence.
His family was once broken up, but now they are reunited again. A Ping could no longer hold back, tears welled up in his eyes, because the paper-pricked person had no tears but a bright red beating heart, so what he shed were tears of blood.
…
…
"eat."
The proprietress didn't talk much. The only way she expressed her gratitude was to steam out several cages of large meat buns for Jin An and the others to eat as much as they wanted.
After nibbling on cold hard buns for several days, they finally took a bite of hot buns. Jin An, the little girl, and Hui Daxian all opened their bellies to eat them immediately.
Maybe it’s because today’s buns were made with love and tasted more delicious than before. I couldn’t stop giggling while eating them. Even if my hands were hot, I couldn’t bear to put down the buns. I was as happy as a little magpie, with a snow-white face.
The white mist steamed up and turned red, with a face full of happiness and satisfaction.
Compared to Sitting on the stool and swinging his legs carefree, Jin An looked at the Aping family reunited, and he already had a decision in his eyes.
In the eyes of parents, where there are children, there is home. In the eyes of children, where there are parents, there is roots.
It was a rare reunion for A Ping's family, so there was no need for him to ask A Ping to continue taking risks for him to go to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. There were many dangers hidden in that place, and even he was not completely sure that he could escape unscathed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to drive Aping's family away, Jin An brought new dry food and water, then called everyone and prepared to leave quietly, but before they reached the intersection, a figure was already standing at the intersection waiting for them.
"Shufang said that a person must repay kindness. Taoist Jin'an and the girl in red were not just kind to our family, but a great kindness. If we don't repay this great kindness, our family of three will have uneasy consciences. I am in the Chen family ancestral hall.
We are familiar with each other, Taoist Jin'an, please continue to take me with you. We don't know how to talk about the nice things like scholars. We just want to give me, Aping, a chance to repay your kindness."
The person waiting at the intersection was none other than A Ping.
Jin An: "Aping, your family has just reunited. Why don't you spend more time with the boss's wife and children? I have a map to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. Aping, you have a family and a room. You'd better go back and spend more time with your family. Don't follow."
We took a risk."
A Ping looked at Jin An gratefully: "Her mother is taking care of the child at home."
