my contract husband

Chapter 8
I made some food last night, and I can eat it after warming it up. During the meal, the Taoist priest looked at me from time to time, but I was very hungry, and I had been running around for a whole day. Pay attention to him.

"A Li..." After eating, he got up and said, "I... I'll do the brushing."

Does he want to help to make up for the guilt?I took the bowl over and said coldly, "If you really want to make it up to me, then help me figure out a way and don't stand in the way."

He had to go out.When I packed up and came out, I saw him fiddling with something on the sofa. I walked over and saw a compass, and he said, "Put this by your pillow, and he won't be able to find you through dreams. Later I will set up formations around the house, as long as you don't marry him within seven days, then he must go back to the underworld, otherwise he will really be a lonely ghost after the gate of hell is closed."

I frowned, the ghost should be fine when it returned to the place it should go, but... I always felt that it was not that simple, so I asked: "And then?"

"Then, you can stay safe for a year, until the eve of next year's Ghost Festival, I will come down the mountain to find you again."

"Then he will come next year?"

"Yes, but at that time, we can try to drag the time to pass the ghost festival. With this compass, he can't enter your dreams, so you can rest easy." He smiled at me and handed the compass, I took it and he went Tell me how to draw a simple spell on it with cinnabar every night before going to bed, so as not to fall into a nightmare.

After everything was settled, he went to buy me something for the "seven-day retreat" and left me alone in the room.I got up and walked to the bed, and when I saw the computer desk, I could still vaguely see Gu Qingchen sitting there, closing and opening my eyes but it was gone again.

"Huh—" I breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the computer desk, put my hands on the back of the chair, and said, "Humans and ghosts have different paths, let's all live in peace."

Turning around and going back to the bed, I picked up the phone and turned it on but it didn't turn on, then I remembered that the battery was out and then remembered——

I still have class tonight!But now, it's obviously time for class, so I quickly took out the charger, plugged it in and turned it on, and dozens of text messages flooded in. After a long time of buzzing, two calls came from Zhou Chenkun. hints, and the rest—

It's a person I don't want to meet.

I deleted all the information without even looking at it, and then sent a message back to Zhou Chenkun saying that I was not feeling well, and I would not go there for a week.After thinking about it again, I deleted it and changed it to I went on a trip for a week and came back to give Xiaoran extra lessons, and the price remained the same.

Then shut down.

I thought he would buy some black dog blood, a big rooster, etc. Who knows that when the Taoist came back, he would not have these things. Instead, he would buy everything for food and drink. Expensive ones are the best, and he sneered and mocked with some surprise, "I can't tell, a Taoist priest is quite rich."

In my impression, Taoist priests are all in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are self-sufficient in eating and drinking. He smiled at me, "I wanted to come to see you. When I went down the mountain a few days ago, I took on a private job to save the dead for a rich family... I’ll give you all the rest, I won’t use them anyway.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a bulging little bag. I frowned, and under his surprised gaze, I bent down and carried the bag to the kitchen. While putting the milk and bread he bought into the refrigerator, I said, "I have money." .”

I don't want to take his money.

"Okay." He didn't force me, he put away the bag and came over to look at me at the door of the kitchen and said, "It's getting late, I should go too, I just went out and bought a ticket back, it's five tomorrow morning ordered."

The hand I put the things in was startled, and I hummed indifferently, "Got it."

"You...stay well, don't go out, maybe...not until next year, I will come down the mountain to see you as long as I have free time. Remember to use the compass every night, don't forget, or he will come back your dream."

"Yeah." I hummed, feeling extremely upset.

Just come and go, what am I?
He sighed, turned around and walked out. I frowned and asked casually, "Why are you so young?"

He was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and explained with a smile of joy: "The day a cultivator attains the Tao, he will stay at that age forever."

"Then you've already attained the Tao in your twenties." I said flatly, trying to calm down, "What about my mother?"

"She died after giving birth to you, there is no condition for you to live on the mountain, so I—" he explained halfway and I interrupted him——

"you can go now."

I don't want to hear how he lost me, and I don't want to ask why a Taoist priest can have children at will.But now, I have finally settled my mind. In the past, I always thought about why my parents abandoned me and what they looked like. Now that I know it, I feel much more at ease, and at the same time... very sad.

Mom turned out to be dead.

The Taoist priest really left this time, and I called him one by one Taoist priest. It was only when I heard the door closed that I remembered that I hadn’t asked his name.

Forget it... let's talk about it next year.

After he left, I kept putting things away. I didn't stop until the refrigerator was full and arranged neatly. The big plastic bags at my feet were all empty, and I didn't know what was going on in my heart. Is it empty or full.
