In the morning, the dark clouds cleared and the rays of sunlight fell on the city wall, bright and warm.
After breakfast and driving the donkey cart, Yu Sheng and his party left Yangzhou and walked slowly on the wet road.
The rest of the matter is unfinished, but I still choose to go back to the inn for the rest of my life.
Ever since I was a child, I have never left an inn for such a long time in my life. I really miss my little piece of land.
After the rain comes, the whole world comes alive. Wild flowers bloom along the roadside, butterflies dance, and from time to time a wild rabbit crosses.
When they were about to enter the woods, they heard a bunch of cranes chirping in the sky. They looked up and saw a group of white cranes flying past. On the white cranes sat the man in yellow clothes they had seen yesterday.
After returning to the city yesterday, Yu Sheng asked Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing didn't say a word at that time, but just looked at Yu Sheng as if she were looking at a treasure.
In the end, Yu Sheng was taken aback, and the problem went away.
But looking at the direction this group of people are going now, it's probably a town.
Yu Sheng kicked the leaves outside the curtain and said, "Come on, come on, there are guests coming. These people are unusual at first glance. We must kill them severely."
The driver Ye Zigao was displeased, "Why are you kicking me? This kid Maomao has lost his body and can't run fast. What can I do?"
Yu Sheng sighed, "Drunk and sex mislead people."
Maomao walked slowly and slowly, Yu Sheng soon became sleepy.
He sat on the seat and took away the book spread out from Aunt Qing's lap. Aunt Qing looked at him puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Do your duty as an aunt." Yu Sheng lay on Aunt Qing's knees, covering his face with a book, "I'll take a nap, and you can make a little noise when you turn."
Taking advantage so shamelessly, I admire myself for the rest of my life.
Aunt Qing had no choice but to continue flipping through the book. When she was lost in thought, Yu Sheng turned over and said, "Don't move." Aunt Qing said, but she didn't look carefully when she saw Yu Sheng was quiet.
At this time, Yu Sheng was facing inside, listening to the pages of the book turning, looking at his belly that was so close, but he didn't dare to be frivolous, for fear that he would be kicked to the inn.
He fell asleep after a while. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the shaking of the car. Yu Sheng suddenly found that his face was pressed against his clothes.
Now I can't sleep anymore for the rest of my life. I close my eyes and doze off, feeling the warmth spreading to my face.
My aunt was wearing a brocade dress. The material was smooth and soft, just like skin sticking to her face.
Aunt Qing quickly noticed the heat from Yu Sheng's breathing, opened the book slightly, and saw Yu Sheng's eyes closed, his eyelashes twitching slightly, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Yu Sheng heard the pages of the book stop turning, and a moment later the pages started turning again.
Aunt Qing paid no attention to Yu Sheng and continued to read her book, but the movement during flipping became lighter.
The wheels rolled slowly, like an ox cart.
Birds are singing a cappella on the treetops, and a stream is gurgling. For the rest of my life, I just wish that time would stop forever and the road has no end.
However, it was just wishful thinking for the rest of my life. Ye Zigao said outside, "I'm back."
Aunt Qing pushed Yu Sheng up. Yu Sheng pretended to have just woken up and looked at Aunt Qing secretly, and saw that her expression was as usual.
Maomao stopped at the door of the inn. Yu Sheng jumped down and helped Aunt Qing out of the car. Seeing that the door of the inn was crowded with people, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Zheng turned around to see Yu Sheng and greeted him hurriedly: "Xiao Yu'er, go in and take a look. Don't let this little old man go crazy."
When Yu Sheng heard this, he helped Aunt Qing out of the car and held her wrist into the inn.
Aunt Qing thought that Yu Sheng had forgotten to let go, so after struggling for a while she couldn't get away. Seeing that he was in a hurry to get in, she let him go.
I couldn't care less about being complacent for the rest of my life. When I went in, I saw the little old man holding a willow branch and dipping it in a bowl of water, beating the two ghosts hard.
Of course, in the eyes of the people in the town, this little old man was whipping the air, and the two ghosts' shrill screams could not be heard.
From time to time, the little old man would wipe his eyes with the liquid in the bottle so that he could see the shadow of the ghost clearly.
Yu Sheng pulled Feng'er, a female ghost watching the fun next to him, over and asked, "What's going on?"
Feng'er looked at Yu Sheng like an idiot, "What?" She only uttered one word.
"You haven't saved enough words these days?" Yu Sheng pushed her away in disgust.
However, Feng'er refused. She had been suffocated by not communicating with others these days.
When she communicated with the ghosts and bones, she had to sign word by word for the ghosts to recognize, and the conversation was not smooth.
There is no need for Yu Sheng. He keeps writing a sentence in cursive and Yu Sheng can read it clearly.
She continued to gesture and ignored her for the rest of her life, asking Cao'er who came over, "What's going on?"
Cao'er said: "The old man said he was his enemy and has been beating him all night. Shopkeeper, please take care of him quickly."
Enemy? Yu Sheng understood somewhat, but I didn’t know how this ghost was caught by the little old man.
He saw Cao'er's expression of distress, "It's not you who was beaten, why are you distressed?"
"The grass and gourd on that head are mine, don't let him break them." Cao'er said, "There are two ghosts who are growing medicines for me, don't let them kill them."
The little old man has many ways to pry open the ghost's mouth. The gourd seeds were planted by the little old man last night.
After Yu Sheng pointed her finger, she saw that one of the two ghosts had an inch of grass growing on their heads, and the other had an inch of small green gourd growing on their heads.
He could see ghosts, so he ignored these two things.
Now that I see this gourd, Yu Sheng is stunned. There is a gourd on his head. This look is so familiar.
"Did you plant it?" he asked Cao'er.
Seeing her nodding, Yu Sheng held her shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you a gourd ghost who sprays fire or water?"
"What gourd ghost? The gourd is mine, and the ghost is just a field." Cao'er was only worried about her gourd, "It just grew out and is very delicate."
Yu Sheng suddenly said, "Then if you call someone a gourd, can you put it in after he agrees?"
Cao'er shook his head again, Yu Sheng was very disappointed. He thought the gourd planted on the ghost's head was some kind of magic weapon.
"Don't worry, the ghost is already dead. No more beatings will kill him." Yu Sheng comforted her, "Also, it's only been three days, why have you grown so low?"
Cao'er didn't care about the gourd anymore and kicked Yu Sheng, but he dodged it.
"Huh?" Cao'er then saw Yu Sheng holding Aunt Qing's wrist with his right hand, "It's only been a few days, and your arm has healed?"
The focus of doctors is very different.
"Of course, we don't want to see whose unicorn arm this is." Yu Sheng was not in a hurry to persuade the little old man.
"It's not like this girl has superb medical skills." Cao'er saw that the whip almost hit the grass blades, and hurriedly pushed him up, "Don't let him damage my grass and gourds."
Yu Sheng let go of Aunt Qing's wrist, walked up and took the little old man's arm, "Okay, okay, don't hit me."
The little old man gasped, and when he turned around, he saw Yu Sheng, "It's them, little shopkeeper, don't stop me." He struggled with his arm and tried to hit him again.
"It's almost done." Yu Sheng didn't let go, "It's been a night."
The two ghosts shivering in the corner looked gratefully at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng added: "As time goes by, I fight slowly. I fight for an hour a day and I exercise."
The two ghosts immediately withdrew their grateful gazes.
Yu Sheng saw that the little old man's eyes were bloodshot and said, "Go up and sleep. Wu Zhu behind them hasn't been caught yet. There's no need to be exhausted because of these two ghosts."
When the little old man heard the answer, he pinned the willow branch to his waist and said, "Miss Liu, thank you."
After he went upstairs, Yu Sheng dismissed the onlookers and turned around to ask Cao'er, "What's going on?"
Cao'er talked about the two ghosts who pretended to be Ye and came to the inn last night.
Halfway through his words, Ye Zigao suddenly said: "Pretend to be me? Needless to say, there must be a flaw here. They cannot pretend to be handsome like me."
Cao'er ignored him and led the weasel away with one sentence, exaggerating his great achievements in catching ghosts.
Finally, Cao'er said: "Why did they offend the old man?"
Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Let him tell you later. Now there is something that can be confirmed."
"What?"
"The witch Zhu is at the Yangzhou City Witch Courtyard."
