Chapter 79

I leaned on Xingxuan's chest wearily, and sighed: "The Ghost Festival is very cloudy, it should be very suitable for you to practice, I don't want anyone to disturb you."

"I really think about my husband." Xingxuan hugged me like a mountain, her clear voice remained unchanged with arrogance and majesty, "I will set up an enchantment outside the bedroom on the Ghost Festival, you don't need to worry about me. "

"En." I hummed and closed my eyes.

I was so exhausted by Xingxuan's torment, I really wanted to sleep over and have a good rest.

I don't know how important the significance of cultivating on the Ghost Festival is to Xingxuan, but I heard from him that setting up an enchantment to practice should be a crucial step.

He carried me into the bedroom, covered me with a quilt, kissed me, closed the door and went out...

Outside the door, he and my dad seemed to be talking about something.

I felt sleepy, and I didn't care to listen to what they said, so I closed my eyes involuntarily.

***
The last class on Monday was over, and it was already 08:30 in the evening, and almost all the people in the teaching building had left.

Qin Tian and Chen Xiao were waiting for me outside the classroom, afraid that I would run away.

During the day, I told Wang Daniu that if I ate my index finger nails, I would be entangled by a starving ghost, so she volunteered to go to the crossroads together.

Me, Wang Qiong, Chen Xiao, and Qin Tian with a haggard face, the four of us went to an intersection with a McDonald's opposite.

On the night of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the street lights are still bright and the cars are like flowing water.

The difference is that there are many strange fire lights on the side of the road. People use chalk to draw an unsealed circle on the ground, and add two more vertical bars at the opening of the circle, as a way for ghosts to enter.

The people squatting around the circle put paper money in the circle, and at the same time they were talking about asking their ancestors to bless them and live a safe life underground.

The ashes of the paper money were blown around by the night wind, forming a hazy gray mist.

The beating fire light shines on people's faces, giving people the impression that the noisy street has a kind of quietness and eerieness.

Ye Lan's mother also went to the crossroads to burn paper money, her tears kept falling into the brazier, as if she hadn't recovered from the pain of losing her daughter.

None of Cheng Li's family members were in our city, and only her gray-haired grandfather came here. The old man burnt paper for his granddaughter with hands that were still trembling in his age. This scene was really sad to see.

Wang Qiong and I went over, comforted the old man, put on our coats for the old man, and then followed the footsteps of Chen Xiao and Qin Tian.

It is early autumn and September. Although the weather is not very cold, it is still a bit cold at night.We also see that the old man wears little clothes and is thin, so we give up our coat because we are afraid that he will catch a cold.

The four of them walked across the road to the opposite side of the intersection.

Just under the street lamp, stood an old lady riding a donkey. The donkey under the old lady's buttocks was not big, and the proportion was a bit like the donkey under the buttocks of the cartoon Avanti.

The old lady's face was full of wrinkles, but she had put on a layer of dead make-up like wall dust, with bright blush on her cheeks, and a red flower dripping blood on her gray ears and temples. flower.

The old lady is not harmful, she just stares at the passing vehicles and pedestrians with a pair of scarlet eyes.

As long as he saw a beautiful girl, those two blood-red eyes would glow.

I've met this old lady before, when we were in the dumpling shop, we met once, but Xingxuan broke her hand.

Now it seems to have pressed an animal's paw, which is furry and yellow.

The furry paw was movable, and in it held that horrible Barbie doll that was always causing trouble.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the old lady in a daze. Chen Xiao, who was visiting the sacrifice at the intersection, was sweating profusely. He asked me, "Junior Sister, what are you looking at?"

The sacrifices on the ground are used to sacrifice to the starved ghosts, and they are very richly prepared, such as three yellow chickens, hairy crabs, rice cakes, eight-treasure rice... This plate of dishes is filled with ten plates, and it is only when they are perfect that they are all perfect.

Following my line of sight, Qin Tian looked fearfully at the old lady whose eyes were rolling under the street lamp, and said, "This old lady, she was there when I delivered the hungry ghost last time. It asked us for money , we...we didn't bring enough, so we failed to send ghosts, this old lady is greedy for money..."

Wang Qiong and I came here to make soy sauce, only Qin Tian honestly helped Chen Xiao visit the sacrificial offerings and incense table, as well as four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

These four sets of bowls and chopsticks are prepared for the starving ghost, and also for the four of us.

A few of us knocked bowls at the crossroads, invited all the starving ghosts nearby to eat, and let them eat the sacrificial offerings.Then I asked my baby to say that there is no need to make offerings in the future, and someone will take care of it in the ghost world and send it away.

These starving ghosts will obediently go back when they are full, fed, and reassured.

"Where is the old lady, where is there, let me see." Wang Qiong glanced around, as if she didn't see anything.

I pointed in the direction of the old lady and said, "Why didn't you look at it? Is it because you have too much yang energy to see ghosts? Why don't you ask my senior brother for some cow's tears and try it on your eyes."

"Su Zi, why are you so disgusting? Cow's tears are so dirty, can you put them on your eyes? They are all lies and deceit on the Internet, and you don't even believe it." Wang Qiong grabbed her throat as if to vomit.

A girl with a personality like Wang Daniu is more open-minded, and her nerves are thicker than boys. When everyone persuades her to eat fingernails to lose weight, she is the only one who refuses to die.

People also tell people that they like to be plump, and it is not good to be too thin.

In fact, she looks like that, 1.6 meters [-], weighed on the scale, it is only a hundred and one catties, regardless of the thickness of the hands and arms, they are skinny and skinny.

The weight of the whole body is estimated to be all on the bones.

Even if there were real cow's tears for Wang Da Niu, she definitely wouldn't try.

"I don't know if I believe it or not. I just know that I have never seen a cow shed tears." When I was talking and laughing with Wang Qiong, my eyes were still on the old lady riding a donkey.

I always feel that since she picked up that Barbie doll and stood here, she has a secret to tell.

"It's time to start burning paper." Chen Xiao asked everyone to burn paper in the copper basin behind the incense table with a serious face. The paper money in the copper basin burned quickly, and the thick wad of paper money was burnt in only 5 minutes. .

Then, a few of us squatted in front of the bowl and knocked on the bowl vigorously.

That's right, in just a few breaths, many naked starving ghosts surrounded him from all directions. These starving ghosts slowly approached, but they didn't dare to eat these things.

It seems that there is still a trace of vigilance about the food we prepare.

Wang Daniu couldn't see anything but shivered, "Zi, why is it so cold, is it here..."

"En." I said yes.

My gaze unconsciously shifted from the starving ghost to the old lady, and I saw a young woman walking along the streetlight with a satchel on her back.

I don't know why, but she is not afraid of the old lady's old lady's dead makeup.

Uncontrollably, he took the Barbie doll from the old lady's hand, and turned directly. At this moment, two yellow leather dolls emerged from the shadow of the tree, and followed the young woman quietly.
