"What's the inconvenience? I'm a guest from afar. What's more, you're a Taoist, so there's no place you can't enter?"
"I and Tong'er really want to come back for a visit, but Zhengchou has taken over someone else's house and cannot come in again." Hearing this, the Taoist no longer hesitated, "So it's better to obey my order than to be respectful."
"Haha! Please come in quickly!"
"Thank you."
"I have long heard that there was a monk who lived here for half a year. They said that the gentleman had great magic power. I have always wanted to get to know him, but I don't know where he went after that. I just want to ask for help.
There is no way to get incense sticks." The man said happily, "But I didn't expect to meet Mr. today."
"It must be fate."
"By the way, why don't you give me your name, sir?"
"My surname is Song, and my given name is You. My courtesy name is Menglai. I don't have a nickname for the time being."
Song You replied as he walked into the door, turned around and took a look, taking the lead to focus on the middle of the yard, where a wintersweet tree was planted. At the moment, it was leafy and bearing fruits.
However, wintersweet is not a plum tree, and its fruit is not a plum. It is toxic and cannot be eaten.
In those days, Sanhua Empress often played in the tree.
"I did hear that he is a gentleman named Song. Many neighbors have asked for talismans from here. They are very effective. It seems that he is the gentleman." The man said happily, and then introduced himself, "My surname is Gao Mingle.
I did a butchering job in Yidu City."
"It turns out to be Mr. Gao."
"You're welcome, sir..."
Butcher Gao said for a moment and suddenly frowned.
"wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Song You looked away from the courtyard wall and looked at Butcher Gao.
"It's been six years since we bought this courtyard. I heard it had been abandoned for a few years before that. If my husband had lived here before, it would have been ten years ago at least, right?"
"Thirteen years."
"Thirteen years!"
Butcher Gao and his wife were both shocked.
"But your husband looks so young. He was probably just a baby thirteen years ago, right? Is it possible that your husband is really a god and is immortal?"
"It's not immortality or immortality, it's just leisure." Song You said truthfully, "Those who are leisurely will not grow old easily."
"..."
Butcher Gao and his wife looked at each other.
There was a little boy watching them next to them.
Seeing that Song You was sincere and not lying, and that the gentleman surnamed Song in the neighborhood's mouth was indeed extraordinary, and that this gentleman looked extraordinary, Gao Butcher was hesitant to believe him.
But the Taoist smiled slightly, saluted and said:
"Everything I said below is true. I came here this time just to have a look. I am definitely not someone trying to defraud Mr. Gao of his money by relying on rumors that this place was haunted."
"here……"
Butcher Gao turned to look at his son and lowered his voice: "Really..."
"really."
"Sir, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"I've seen it."
"how?"
"How about..."
Song You stood there and thought about it.
It seems to have happened a long time ago. When I think about it now, the most impressive thing is the bamboo shadow under the moonlight, the figure of the woman dancing in the bamboo shadow, the faint singing and crying in the middle of the night, and the Yanzhou Turtle Castle.
The ghost of the school captain is really "even though we are separated by life and death, marriage is difficult to achieve".
At this time, they are probably reunited, right?
But I don’t know what the outcome will be.
It’s okay not to know.
I don’t know what to think about the good news.
After thinking for a while, the Taoist came back to his senses and said to Gao Butu, who was staring at him with great concern and without blinking:
"Just a miserable person."
"..."
Butcher Gao turned his head again and looked at his wife.
Naturally, his wife couldn't make up her mind, so she just lowered her head and looked at him, acting as a tool to exchange glances with him.
But the butcher gradually gave up his suspicion, and then he stood in awe, and quickly raised his hand and bowed deeply to him: "Sir, you must be an expert, but Gao Mou doubts you, it's really wrong!"
"Mr. Gao is just vigilant. Being vigilant is a good thing."
"well……"
Butcher Gao sighed.
It happened that his wife brought the child in, and he said to Song You: "I knew this place was haunted before, but I couldn't resist because the price was so cheap. After asking around, I heard that this ghost didn't harm anyone, and was just a good person in the local area.
One, the ghosts disappeared again at that time. Gao relied on his courage and killed countless pigs and sheep in his life. Only ghosts were afraid of Gao, not Gao. After visiting, he really felt that this courtyard was elegant and heart-warming.
I liked it so much that I bought it. Unexpectedly, not long after I bought it, when I had a child, there were more than one charlatan and swindlers came to my door. Under the scaremongering, Gao also gave them a lot of money, and later came back.
After thinking about it, I felt angry and resentful, that’s why.”
"Mr. Gao is so courageous."
"My mother-in-law is about to cook dinner. Sir, if you don't mind the smell of pork in Gao's body, please stay for dinner."
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Even if Mr. Gao is possessed of the spirit of immortality." Butcher Gao said rather boldly, "Mr. Gao also wants to ask you about some things in the house."
"That would be troublesome."
Seeing that he was really hospitable, Song You agreed to stay.
Then he unloaded the horse's bag and let it rest, and then took Sanhua Niangniang for a walk in the courtyard. Gao Butcher accompanied them and said a few words to him from time to time.
The courtyard is mostly the same as it was before, except that Butcher Gao and his family have tidied it up. It’s not that Song You didn’t tidy it up before, it’s just that the Taoist was lazy and casual. Seeing that the tiles on the roof are really beautiful,
Even if it might cause the house to leak, he would not clean it up. When he saw weeds growing on the walls, they would bloom as wild flowers. As long as they did not affect walking, he would not care. However, Gao Butcher's family got rid of all the weeds.
Except for a wintersweet tree and a row of bamboos beside the wall, there are almost no other plants in the courtyard.
On the contrary, there are many more items in the house than at that time.
The Taoist walked to the plum tree and stroked the tree.
A girl dressed in three-color clothes also came over, imitated his example, put a white and tender hand on the tree, raised her head and looked up along the trunk.
Sensing the Taoist's gaze, she turned her head and looked at the Taoist seriously.
The Taoist just laughed and didn't speak.
The girl seemed to know what he was thinking. She looked at him for a moment, then withdrew her gaze and continued to look up at the tree, looking at the places where she had climbed, stood and lay down.
The Taoist walked to the courtyard wall again, looked up at the wall, and then looked down at him.
The girl naturally followed behind him, never leaving, looking up as he did and lowering her head to look at him.
I can still understand what he wants to express.
When I looked at the courtyard wall again, some things I thought I had forgotten resurfaced and played vividly in my mind.
It was a girl walking on the eaves of the courtyard wall.
"I have told you that Sanhua Empress should not climb on the roof and walk around when she is in human form. People will think she is a monster."
"Miss Sanhua is a monster."
"..."
Sanhua Empress blinked and stared at the courtyard wall.
The figure of the girl at the beginning overlapped with her now, and she was even smaller than her now.
Walking to the edge of the bamboo forest again, the bamboo shadows were whirling.
The Taoist stretched out his hand to brush the bamboo branches and leaves.
The girl imitated his movements, almost exactly the same.
Butcher Gao followed behind, looking confused. He just felt that Gao Ren was unusual and difficult to understand, and he was a rough man, so he just stayed behind without asking any questions.
Until the aroma of food wafted into the house.
"Sir, please give me dinner."
"It's really troublesome."
Butcher Gao invited Song You to the hall again.
The main room felt a lot stranger.
The room is often like this. Just changing the position of the furniture can bring about a big change. What's more, the Gao Butcher family also replaced the desk table with a large table, almost losing its original appearance.
The dinner was sumptuous, with large stick bones and meat attached to them. The meat close to the bone was the most fragrant, and there were large chunks of meat stewed with lotus root cubes. The rough craftsmanship did not conceal the richness and enthusiasm at all.
The rice is still sweet potato rice, very sweet.
The income of butchers is very high these days. Otherwise, even if this house is haunted, it would be impossible for an ordinary family to buy it.
Song You had a great time eating.
It was already dusk after the meal.
"Since you just returned to Yidu today, you must not have found a good place to live. Although the courtyard is small, there are a few vacant rooms. You must know that. It doesn't matter if your relatives and friends stay here for three or five days. Why not just stay in Gao Mou
Let's rest here for the night?" Butcher Gao drank some wine and got intoxicated, so he kindly invited me.
"It's better not to disturb you. Let's go out and find an inn."
"Why do you, sir, treat yourself as your own family when you are visiting foreigners?" Gao Butcher said with a smile, "Don't be afraid of bringing us trouble. Whose family has not entertained Taoist monks? Maybe in ten or twenty years, that boy of mine will
I have to invite some Taoist priests to come to my house to see me off."
"It's really inconvenient for me to have a horse at home."
"well……"
Butcher Gao sighed and stood up without forcing himself and said, "Then I will send you sir out."
"Mr. Gao is drunk, so there is no need to send him far away."
"How many steps are there to the door?"
Butcher Gao went out with him all the way to the yard, then lowered his voice and said to him: "I didn't ask you sir at the dinner table earlier. In fact, those charlatans who came here were telling the truth. Gao Mouruo still looked like
I was naturally not afraid of being alone as I was a few years ago, but now that I have a wife and children, I still want to ask my husband - is there any yin and evil energy left in this place?"
"The Duke is worried, not at all."
"call……"
Butcher Gao then breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll feel relieved."
"..." Song You also smiled, "I really thought Gao Gong was drunk."
"Haha! Sajia also has some capacity for alcohol!"
"Please ask Mr. Gao to send it here."
"Okay, okay..."
Song You took the horse out and saluted him.
Butcher Gao stood inside the door and looked at him in return.
The Taoist turned around and saw a small courtyard diagonally opposite the door. The door was closed and there was no movement inside. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
"That was the house of Luo Jun, the former headman of Yidu. I heard that his old man had been promoted a few years ago. It turned out that the governor of Yizhou was the prime minister of the dynasty. He went to Changjing with the prime minister and became vacant. But I heard
He said that he is doing well in Changjing and no one dares to touch his house. Every year, Yidu County Government sends people to repair it."
Butcher Gao's voice came from behind.
Song You just sighed——
I don’t know how many old friends there are in Yidu today.
