piecing together the soul

Chapter 77 Chapter 47
After Master Xu reminded me so much, I really remembered that there have been many accidents in my kitchen.

"My first impression was when I was a child, during the Lantern Festival, my mother wanted to fry the Lantern Festival, so I steamed the Lantern Festival first, because I was afraid that the hot oil would splash out and dry for a long time when frying. Later, when it was fried in the pan, it was normal. , and suddenly the oil splashed out. Fortunately, my mother was wearing my dad’s motorcycle helmet at the time, otherwise it would be unimaginable... But there is still a piece of exposed skin on her arm that was splashed with oil, and the scar that fell is now I’m still there.” I was still young at the time, so I don’t actually remember this incident very clearly.

"Any more?"

"Yes." I don't need to think about it carefully, but I remember two more times.

"One time my dad used a pressure cooker to stew meat, and all the procedures were normal, but as soon as he stepped out of the kitchen door, the pot behind him exploded, and the lid of the pot was attached to the ceiling, and the contents inside splashed everywhere in the kitchen. "I said, recalling the last time, I still have lingering fears.

Maybe it was because my frightened expression was too obvious, I heard brother Xiu's voice: "Qingluan, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Master Xu stared into the kitchen, then turned his gaze back to me, and said, "The last thing is your business, right?"

"Well, I boil water by myself at home." Thinking of the scene at that time, I suddenly felt a little strange, "The water dispenser at home is out of water, and there is no other water to drink, and I suddenly feel thirsty for water. I got up to boil water to drink. At the time when the water was boiled, I felt that my eyelids were heavy, and then I fell asleep on my stomach on the restaurant table. As a result... the water boiled dry, the pot leaked, and the fire burst out and ignited In the kitchen, I was in such a deep sleep at the time that I had no idea..."

"Then how did you escape?"

"Lomi was still there at the time."

"Who is Lomy?"

"My family dog ​​was very old at the time, but it did save me that time. It pulled me hard, and finally climbed up on the table and bit my finger before I woke up, and then ran out to call the fire alarm. The phone put out the fire. Fortunately, the discovery and the police were timely, so there is not much loss."

At that time, I thought, why did I sleep so deeply?If there was no Lomi, I would have been burned to death. Since then, I have full awe and fear of the ruthless water and fire.This is why I am so timid when encountering a fire in the subway...

"One time for each of the three members of the family." Brother Xiu sighed.

Master Xu said: "Fortunately, all of your family are good people. If one of them has done evil things, it is absolutely impossible to escape three catastrophes."

"You mean, something in the kitchen hurt us?"

"That's right." Master Xu said, "I'm afraid it's some kind of vengeful spirit. Now that the yang energy is heavy, he's hiding. I'll be able to see him at night."

"But, my parents came back at night, so I can't tell them about it." I said, "My mother is a doctor, and my father is a party member. They both believe in the material world. If you tell them there are ghosts, they must not letter."

"Then I'll do it myself." Master Xu said, "Anyway, your rooms are all on the south side, and I live opposite the kitchen, and I'm very dead, maybe the resentful spirits don't regard me as a human being at all, but instead Good move."

"Can no one take care of you?" I said, "or I'll be the bait."

"With Xiuying with me, just stay in your room and don't come out." Master Xu said, glanced to the side, and smiled.

The one over there should be Brother Xiu, anyway, I can't see him when I'm idle.Brother Xiu agreed to Master Xu, and we settled on it.

In the following time, we first arranged the boxes we brought back, including those strange powders brought by Mr. Xu.I really didn't expect this thing to be useful.

Nothing happened in the afternoon. Although we felt a little tired, we still didn’t sleep. Instead, we went out for a walk. On the way, we met two aunts who had watched me grow up. They greeted me with their mouths, but their eyes kept going up and down. Looking at Master Xu, it's like looking at him like an alien creature.

According to the time, it is almost time for Mom and Dad to go home, and we will go home too.Standing in front of the door, I took out the key and opened the door. Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Your gang of seven aunts and eight aunts are quite satisfied with me. Can you consider the plan I mentioned earlier? This is the same as You said, after watching my son-in-law and then watching Lao Wang, I am afraid Lao Wang will have a hard time."

"Bah, can you two be the same?" I said, "He has a better university than ours, and he is also the vice chairman. Who is like you, an idle alley bastard, what else is good except for a good mouth?"

"I don't want you to belittle people like this." Master Xu replied, "I'm good enough to be a host, how much is it for a host!"

"Tsk tsk." I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I imitated the aunts and sucked their teeth.

After a while, my parents came back, carrying big and small bags of ingredients and planning to make a big meal for us.When it got dark, brother Xiu's shadow also appeared. He kept staring at my mother blankly, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but I couldn't say anything.

Master Xu brought something to ward off evil spirits and ran to the kitchen to help my parents and chat together.But I know that he is actually going to protect his parents.

At this moment, Master Xu's phone rang, and I picked up his phone, the number on it was not marked with a name, and my heart skipped a beat.Could it be the one who called last night?Did he call at this time to ask Master Xu why he wasn't there?

I didn't dare to delay this matter, so I quickly called Master Xu: "Xu...Xiaohan! Your phone is ringing."

Master Xu also seemed to remember this all the time, when he heard me shout, he immediately ran over to pick up the phone.
