Taboo Master

Chapter 35 Outing
Her low words exploded in the carriage like a bomb. Chu Qi and Ding Lingling were stunned for the first time, staring blankly at Xinya and each other, but no one answered.

That Chen Hanyang's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help shouting: "How about it, I just said that I don't take her with me. If I take her, something will happen. I said yesterday that I can't do it, you have to."

Ding Lingling turned her head and gave him a hard look: "What did you say? If you don't want to go, get off now, and we won't take you!"

Chen Hanyang suddenly ran out of words, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean, what's the matter with going out to play together? I didn't say anything. You are so timid as a boy? What can happen? If you are afraid, don't come with us."

Unexpectedly, Ding Lingling was still a quick-talking knife, Chu Qi pulled her quietly, signaling her not to talk nonsense, Ding Lingling finally realized, turned around and smiled: "Xinya, just ignore him, just treat him as a fart."

Chen Hanyang really didn't dare to fart, turned his head and sat down obediently.

Xin Ya naturally knew the reason, her head drooped even lower, like a little girl who made a mistake, she forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, what I meant just now is that I feel a little uncomfortable, and I'm afraid it will affect you all." .”

Ding Lingling obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good that it's okay, don't you often do this, let me tell you, it's because you've been staying in the house for too long, and you're depressed. , maybe everything will be cured in a short while.”

Chu Qi also said: "Yes, that's why I specially asked you to come here, Xinya, you don't have to worry about anything, don't think about anything, we'll have fun today, okay?"

Xinya looked at us, finally nodded and smiled.

The carriage fell into dullness again, and no one spoke anymore, but looking at the expressions of everyone, they were all a little unnatural.

I know that friendship, like love, needs to be maintained. At critical moments, it also requires courage and a price to pay. I just don’t know what consequences Chu Qi and Ding Lingling’s actions will bring this time.

I took another look at Wang Yu, who hadn't spoken much the whole time. He was holding his canvas tightly, and there seemed to be a trace of worry flashing across his face.

This small episode seems to be destined, this will be a not so wonderful trip.

In fact, this kind of sketching activity is to go out to play, stay in the school all day, go out to the green mountains and green grass, the sky is blue and the water is blue, those who have a partner can have a romantic mood, and those who have no one can take advantage of this opportunity to develop, how wonderful.

In less than half an hour, we came to the mountain, looked up, and found that the mountain is not very high, the sky is not too blue, and the leaves of the trees have almost fallen off. I am really disappointed, it is worse than our hometown Far.

But those few people were very excited, as if they finally embraced nature, they were running and laughing, so the two remained indifferent, one was me and the other was Xinya.

After going up the mountain, we went all the way west. Chen Hanyang volunteered to lead us the way. He said that there was a hillside in front of him, a maple forest, and the scenery was very beautiful.

His proposal is very good, naturally no one objected, and I don't care, I can go anywhere, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.However, along the way, I kept trying to get closer to Xinya and explain to her what happened that day, but I never found a chance. She still seemed to be avoiding me, and as we moved forward, her expression became more and more serious. ugly.

We shuttled through the woods, surrounded by bleakness, the maple leaves were red in the distance, and the dead leaves rustled under our feet. Compared with the green mountains in summer, the mountain scenery in autumn is really unique.

The autumn wind is a bit cool, and there are occasional crisp birdsong in the depths of the forest, and the sun is also faint. The weather is very comfortable. Slowly, my nervous spirit can't help but relax. Not to mention, coming to this mountain is really kind of Feel free from trouble.

After turning over a mountain, I soon saw the hillside that Chen Hanyang mentioned. It was really a big maple forest. Sitting on the hillside, I looked far into the distance. Below the mountain was an endless plain. There were village courtyards in the distance, and the smoke from cooking , a thin layer of mist shrouded the mountains, making everything around it faintly visible.

This is an earthy mountain with few rocks, but Chen Hanyang took us to the top of a cliff and found a huge rock. He excitedly introduced it to us. On the night of the full moon, there will be fox spirits in the mountains jumping on the stones to worship the moon and practice. Later, some people found out that they thought it was a fairy trail, so people often burned incense and worshiped here. Until now, there are incense burners under the stones. Some villagers also come here to burn incense sticks when they enter the mountain, praying for the blessing of the immortal.

We couldn't help being amazed, and ran down to the stone together to see that there were traces of incense burners and burning incense. Ding Lingling said with some fascination: "Oh, it's a pity that there is no incense. Otherwise, we will also come to worship and pray for the protection of the great immortal."

Chen Hanyang immediately echoed and said: "It's okay if there is no incense, the so-called sincerity is spiritual, let's worship together, and I will accompany you."

Ding Lingling was very happy. The two of them were going to worship the immortal in front of the incense burner. I glanced at them and couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't worship the immortals in the wild. We don't know what kind of immortal they are. Something went wrong, be careful Daxian will go home with you."

Chen Hanyang laughed and said: "That's good, please ask a great immortal to go home and make offerings, and bless us greatly."

Ding Lingling hesitated when she heard what I said, and Chu Qi also said: "He is right, don't worship immortals without knowing the situation, this is a taboo, let's go, you see, there is Fenglin below, How beautiful."

Ding Lingling didn't insist either, she smiled and said, "Okay, actually I was just talking casually, let's go."

The two girls were grinning, and pulled Xin Ya, who was standing quietly beside her, to go down first. Chen Hanyang's face was a bit unsightly, and he wanted to offer courtesy, but failed.

He waved his hands and followed the girl, but when he passed by me, he said harshly: "Midget your own business, no wonder you always go to Xin Ya's crow's mouth, I think you two are similar."

I smiled wryly and shook my head, but didn't pay attention to him, ignorant guy, there are many ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, and you can't figure out the situation, so you dare to worship?I am saving you.

I clearly remember that when I was more than ten years old, there was a man in the village who accidentally bumped into an unknown ghost while cutting firewood in the mountains.In fact, he used a hatchet to chop down an old tree root, but after a few cuts, he found that it was hollow inside, so he gave up.Unexpectedly, when I got home, I fell ill, had a fever, vomited, and fell into a coma. I also dreamed that a white-haired old lady came to the door and asked him why he chopped down other people's houses. After speaking, he grabbed him and left. up.

After the man woke up in a daze, he saw a few scars on his body from being scratched by his claws. Then he became frightened and begged someone to find my grandpa. A shed was built for the old tree root. After returning home, the man recovered the next day.

Later, grandpa said that there was a white-haired mouse living in the root of the old tree, and the man unintentionally chopped down the house, so he went down the mountain to find him. , fix the house for it, and accompany it, it will be fine.

Therefore, even though there is an incense burner underneath the strange rock in front of me, we can’t worship it indiscriminately, unless we have asked the local villagers to know the root cause, otherwise, once we collide, we will be unfamiliar with the place where we were born. There will be big troubles.

Besides, I don't want to use the Han family's forbidden law in front of so many people.

In this way, we walked down the hillside together and found a flat place on the side above the maple forest and sat down. Chu Qi, Ding Lingling, and Wang Yu set up their canvases and prepared to sketch. Behind her, help her carry this and that.

Xin Ya and I naturally had nothing to do. Looking sideways, Xin Ya was staring into the distance in a daze. She was holding her knees with her hands and her eyes were twinkling, as if she was thinking about something.

I quietly sat down and saw that she still didn't respond, and whispered to her: "Are you hungry, I brought food here?"

She didn't look back, but shook her head slowly as if subconsciously. I sighed secretly, and said, "Don't always be like this. Now that you are out, be happy. Look, that maple leaf is so beautiful."

"Yeah, like blood, all over the mountains and plains." She said so suddenly, almost choking me to death, like blood?Sister, do you want to be so dark in your heart?
Well, I also admit that it is indeed a bit like blood.

Just after I said two words, I was left speechless by her. At this moment, Chen Hanyang stood up and said: "I'm going to pee, don't peek, haha"

Ding Lingling kicked him: "Look at you, little Ding Ding!"

Everyone burst into laughter, I took the opportunity to poke Xin Ya lightly, and said with a smile, "Look at them, how happy they are laughing."

Xin Ya turned her head to look at a few people, her gaze wandered again, and she said flatly, "Yeah, they laughed so happily."

For some reason, Xin Ya's words made me feel a little chilly.
