Spring is coming

Chapter 34 Zhou’s abnormality
Mo Jingchun even suspected for a moment that he had heard wrongly. It was the first time that Mr. Zhou showed such a bright smile to her, and he almost winked at her.

"No need." Before she could finish her refusal, Mr. Zhou hurriedly stopped her: "How can you not do it! You kid!"

Maybe because she thought her tone was too eager, she paused, then deliberately slowed down her voice, and said with a smile: "In the past, it was the second aunt who was wrong! The second aunt can't speak, but in fact, she loves you and your brother in her heart." It’s the same. You are all my second aunt’s pet peeve and have watched you grow up. Second aunt has no other intention. She just wants to make you beautiful clothes and make our Chun’er dress up more brightly! Just be the second aunt. Auntie, I’ll apologize to you, okay?”

Mo Jingchun felt that his ears and brain were not working properly. He was hugged by Zhou's shoulders and he was so close that he could smell the strong smell of ink on her body.
Mo Jingchun seemed to be rusty, and his body could not react at all. He could only let Zhou hold his hand and measure his shoulder length and height.

Mo Qinglin was so shocked by Zhou's words that he had already forgotten what happened in the morning and remained dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Mo Jingchun finally escaped Zhou's "devil's clutches" that he had the opportunity to squeeze in next to Mo Jingchun and ask in a low voice: "What's going on between you and the second sister-in-law? Didn't you do that just now? Has she changed her gender?"

Mo Jingchun couldn't explain why, but in her heart she didn't believe what Zhou just said.

Pamper her?Zhou Ru would burn high incense if she didn't sell her.

Mo Jingchun had a lot of guesses in his mind, but he still shook his head cautiously: "I don't know."

She is weird.

"I think there's something wrong with Second Aunt, but I can't tell." She reminded Mo Qinglin quietly, "Be careful."

"She won't be possessed by the ghost yesterday, right?" Mo Qinglin suddenly became frightened and ran out, "No, no, no, I'm going to the Taoist temple to ask for a pair of peach charms and hang them on the door!"

Mo Jingchun wanted to comfort him that there were no ghosts and gods in the world, but suddenly he thought of himself - wasn't she a ghost?For a moment I couldn't open my mouth.

She was so preoccupied that she couldn't even concentrate on studying today.

Bo Qingshan usually wouldn't supervise her in this small study, but today he caught her in a trance several times when he came in, and didn't even notice that he had walked in front of her.

He took the book out of Mo Jingchun's hand, held it high, and read aloud the content on the page: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer comes, Harvest in autumn and store in winter. If there is a leap year, Lu will adjust the Yang."

"The first page of the Thousand-Character Essay, why am I still confused after reading it for so long?"

Bo Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked her.

He stopped at this page just before going out, and he is still reading this page for half an hour.

Being caught by Bo Qingshan, Mo Jingchun's face showed panic for a moment: "I didn't."

She silently took the book back from Bo Qingshan's hand, bit her lip and said, "Brother Bo, something happened this morning that made me at a loss."

After hearing this, Bo Qingshan was not in a hurry to ask her what was going on. Instead, he calmly sat down opposite her and suddenly asked her: "Keeping the truth and being full of ambition, what is the last sentence of "Keeping the truth and being full of ambition, chasing things and moving the mind"?

"Quiet in nature and relaxed in mood, excited in heart and tired in spirit."

Although Mo Jingchun was surprised, he still answered as he was told.

"That's right. You were so restless today that you were mentally exhausted and sleepy. You couldn't even hear me coming in just now. Why don't you tell me what kind of troublesome thing it was that made us so excited and exhausted, eh?"

The appropriate interruption relieved her mood, and Mo Jingchun did not look as troubled as before.

"It's my second aunt..."

"Did she do something bad again?"

When Bo Qingshan heard this name, he immediately guessed that he was deliberately throwing dirty water as before, or making things difficult for Mo Jingchun.

"No."

Mo Jingchun said hurriedly: "It's just different from before. The changes have been too big...I kind of, uh, can't believe it." "She is suddenly very close to you?"

Under Bo Qingshan's constant temptation, her eyes were full of mist, and she was very confused: "Well... I think she is acting weird today."

Bo Qingshan lowered his head and smiled, then handed her a copybook: "Stop reading and practice calligraphy. Practicing calligraphy can calm your mind. Maybe you can figure it out while practicing calligraphy."

"okay."

Mo Jingchun took the copybook, took out his pen and ink, and wrote the first stroke on the white paper.

A fresh and strong smell of ink penetrated her nasal cavity and followed her breath directly to Tianling Gai——

At this moment, something seemed to be connected, and she suddenly woke up.

My hand was shaking so much that I couldn't hold the pen. The brush fell with a "clack" sound and fell on the rice paper: "Brother Bo! It smells like ink!"

"what?"

Bo Qingshan was rummaging in front of the bookshelf, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Mo Jingchun's expression of shock and excitement.

"It's the smell of pen and ink. I smelled it on my second aunt! She..."

She looked at her for a long time, and Mo Jingchun didn't know how to continue talking.

But Bo Qingshan understood what she meant: Ms. Zhou is an authentic peasant woman. She has not been able to read Chinese characters since she was a child. Why does she smell like ink on her body?
He comforted Mo Jingchun with a gentle voice: "It's okay, don't think too much about it yet."

How could it be okay!He doesn't know what kind of person Zhou is!

She must be holding back some bad moves!

Why does Zhou have a strong smell of ink?Why did she change her attitude towards herself?Why did the monster she saw last night enter her house but nothing happened?
Mo Jingchun eagerly wanted to tell someone what Zhou had done to her in the past, but she couldn't tell her. It all happened in her previous life!
Nobody knows.

She was a little sad and a little desperate. She still didn't know what the thing she saw last night was, and now she had to be wary of Zhou's mischief.

She asked softly: "Brother Bo, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

Bo Qingshan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he caught a glimpse of her expectant eyes.

He softened his voice without even paying attention to himself, and coaxed: "If there are ghosts and gods in the world, you don't have to be afraid. The people you care about and your relatives will protect you."

Mo Jingchun's eyes were filled with an imperceptible sadness.

"If there are ghosts and gods, why haven't my parents come to see me in my dream for so long? But I don't miss them enough?"

Maybe it's because she looks too pitiful now, or maybe she's thinking of her mother who died young.

Bo Qingshan patiently used the words of his family to coax her: "Perhaps they have done good deeds throughout their lives and have been reincarnated long ago."

Mo Jingchun was silent for a long time, and his voice could not be softer. After all, it was still a test.

"Brother Bo, I have heard that if a person dies with unresolved resentment, he will not enter reincarnation. Instead, he will follow the path of his previous life and change his destiny. Do you believe it?"

Does he believe it?
Even if he told it, would anyone believe that he had died once?
