Patriarch enjoys meal

Seeing that it was Tao Jiang and Zhou Weiran who came out, their pale faces showed obvious disappointment.

Zhou Jiran even heard a sigh.

"Master Tao is not here this year, so it's difficult." The old ghost in a coat and long hair seemed to be here to fill his stomach for the first time.

A female ghost wearing an old cheongsam next to her snorted coldly, and slapped away the tofu-eating ghost's hand from somewhere on her waist. Her eyes had been wrapped around Tao Jiang's face since the door of Tao's house was opened.

"It's worth seeing Mrs. Jiang come out this time!"

As soon as she said this, ghosts immediately shouted: "Then Mannia is not allowed to rob us later!"

"I still need a woman to let me eat, but you are really capable. Everyone depends on their own abilities." Mannia raised her high and curved eyebrows full of coquettishness, and rolled her eyes slantingly to make the ghosts booed.

What I said here is that you and that old ghost have been ghosts for the longest time and have the deepest morals, the one who will win you.

Many lonely and wild ghosts sighed secretly, they ran this trip for nothing, and now they are going to the next city, and they don't know if they can make it to the Qianyang Temple.

Zhou already stood on the steps in front of the gate and looked down, feeling a lot of pressure. He leaned closer to Tao Jiang who was serving food and water, and whispered, "Are there so many ghosts every year? It's not like there is such a queue for the reincarnation of the Yin Division." Let's go for a while." Looking at the costumes worn by the two leading ghosts below, they have been cultivated for at least a hundred years.

Tao Jiang was not very clear about this either. When his grandfather was around, he was only responsible for arranging meals and passing incense candles.Speaking of which, this was the real scene when he saw Jigu for the first time.

That cheongsam female ghost named Manniang was not lowly cultivated, she listened to Zhou Weiran's words completely, her face was filled with a smile, she straightened her delicate curly hair, and said softly: "Ah, Is this little brother a Taoist?"

Zhou Jiran raised his hand and shook the soda in his hand, and said with some regret: "Not really, the threshold for being a Taoist priest is very high now."

Mannia glanced at Tao Jiang resentfully, and her tone revealed that she and Grandpa Tao seemed to be quite familiar: "I have told Lao Tao countless times in the past, no matter what else, he should teach Brother Jiang the magic spell. Son! He runs around all day by himself, and teaches us to do it for nothing!"

"If you don't run in vain, I can also use the magic spell." Zhou Jiran licked his mouth, but his subordinates kept on saying, "It's rare for everyone to come here, so I'll treat you to a drink of soda."

As soon as the words fell, there was a '呲', and it sprayed towards the lone ghost below like a shaking soda fountain.

With the incantation, the unbearable hunger from the inside of the ghosts below was cured by the sour and sweet soda.

What's more, he cried out excitedly because of this sip of soda, and he didn't know how long he was hungry.

Mannia and the old ghost with long hair next to her are much more respectable.

After drinking the soda, Mannia slowly held the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth gracefully: "Once upon a time, what Old Tao prepared was either clear water or white wine, and even the fine nectar was too greasy. It's still a young guy who knows how to hurt people and how to make his mouth sweet~ "

After speaking, he winked at Zhou Jiran.

The long-haired old ghost didn't say anything, just looking at his expressionless wrinkled face, it's not hard to see that he's not very receptive to new things.

Zhou already finished the soda and began to formally sacrifice the orphans. Looking at the large number of lonely and wild ghosts crowded together below, he was also very stressed.After handing the empty soda bottle to Tao Jiang, he sat down cross-legged, and lightly recited the Puji Fa-eating mantra.

"Nature cooks and eats, and I will bless you today. A grain of river sand will be shared by ghosts and gods in the ten directions. Hunger and thirst will disappear forever, and the feast of food will be in the fairyland..." As soon as the spell fell, the small bowl of rice prepared by Tao Jiang Divide one into two, turn two into four... and scatter downwards.

Those lonely ghosts who had been starving for a year all put their heads down and ate bitterly. Seeing them choking and rolling their eyes, Zhou Jiran hastily poured out the bowl of water, for fear that they would be choked by the food and lose their wits.

After eating and drinking, these lonely ghosts all bowed to Zhou Zenran gratefully. This kind of scene of hundreds of ghosts worshiping Zhou Zhenran shocked him, and he didn't even have time to escape and accept this gift alive.

Zhou Jiran looked at the pictures below, full of food and drink, and his pale face was full of satisfied ghost faces. The yin energy at the door of Tao's house seemed to have dissipated a lot. After two seconds of silence, he said: "In the next month, here Every night there will be a sacrifice of lonely food."

After speaking, he glanced at Tao Jiang, a little embarrassed, the cook didn't say anything, and he made his own decision.

Tao Jiang received his gaze, smiled lightly, and said softly, "Originally, I have to sacrifice for a month. I don't know how to eat spells, and I will trouble you later."

Zhou Jiran followed with a smile and said, "It should be, it should be."

......

After the orphan sacrifice was over, the wild ghosts, who were full of food and drink, left here one after another to see the changes outside this year. Before leaving, they had already confirmed to Zhou the time of tomorrow's sacrifice, for fear that if they missed this time, they would have to wait for the next year. July.

Zhou Weiran and the two packed up their jobs, and as soon as they entered Tao's house, they saw a fox, a rabbit, and a... bottle squatting behind the gate.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Wu and the others just huddled in the crack of the door to see the scene outside clearly, now is the time to be curious.Huohu jumped to Tao Jiang's feet, his eyeballs were already stuck to the bowl in his hand, it was really amazing that this small bowl could feed so many ghosts.

Tao Jiang bent down and handed the rice bowl in his hand to Mu Mu's nose. The steaming rice that was brought out just now has no trace of heat. Mu Mu stretched out his nose and sniffed for a long time, but he didn't smell any scent of rice. Like a bowl of cold hard sand.

Zhou Jiran rubbed his face full of doubts, took out its claws, and explained: "This bowl of rice has been eaten by ghosts, and the yin is lingering. It is best not to touch the living things."

When Li Wugang died, Bai Xiaohong was there to make offerings, and now he can occasionally perform tooth-beating sacrifices in Tao's house. After being a ghost for so long, he really didn't feel too hungry.After seeing those lonely ghosts, she didn't know what a 'starving ghost' looked like.

"It's too miserable..." As a ghost, she can especially understand the feeling of emptiness that comes from the depths of her soul.

Guo Jie asked: "Why don't they go to reincarnate and start a new life? It's better than coming out once a year like now, and relying on a big meal to get through the next year."

Zhou Jiran picked up Mu Mu and walked towards the inner courtyard, his voice drifted in the evening wind: "I can't see it, I can't let it go, how can I reincarnate."

Li Wu stood at the door without moving, the rabbit ears drooping on both sides like two pieces of crumpled rags, a dead person felt heart palpitations for a long time, I wonder if it was because the temperature turned cold at night.

Guo Jie, who was in the cooking wine bottle next to her, looked at her cautiously, not daring to move.

Strange to say, Guo Jie has a list of 'the most feared person in Tao's house', but Li Wu, who is cute and loves the image of a doll rabbit, is at the top of the list, and the second is Huo, Guo Jie is always afraid of the little fox. His one-bedroom cooking wine bottle swept off the stone table.In his heart, Zhou Jiran is naturally a good person who showed him a clear way and took him in, and he is the same as Tao Jiang who is inseparable from Zhou Jiran.

Li Wutu, who considers himself gentle, has a big brain and can't figure out why he is on the list.

She was restless at the moment, and there was only a cooking wine bottle by her side, so she looked pretty good to talk to.

"What will you do if your murderer is found?"

Suddenly caught by the cue, at a loss, Guo Jie thought for a while, and carefully said his words: "Hmmm... murder for life, seeing that he has served his sentence, let's go and thank Officer Yang first, he did nothing for my case." Stay up late, and then... Then go to see my parents. They must be very sad when I die, but life still has to move forward. Fortunately, I have insurance, and the compensation is enough for them to retire. …”

"Then?"

Guo Jie took it for granted, "Then go reincarnate."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "There are so many ghosts who haven't been reincarnated, and I don't know if I can be ranked. Alas, it seems that the number of reincarnations in the underworld is also very tight."

Li Wu said coolly: "Don't worry, isn't the second-child policy implemented now? With the birth rate rising, you will definitely be 'born'."

Guo Jie didn't hear the coolness in Li Wu's words at all, thought she was sincerely comforting, and said naively: "That's good, that's good."

"Hmph." Li Wu jumped down the stairs with short legs, and walked forward without looking back. Guo Jie could only struggle to put down the cooking wine bottle and roll behind.

After walking for a while, still unable to figure it out, Li Wu said again: "Isn't it good to be a ghost?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not," Guo Jie shook the bottle on his body, "It's just that I still want to live. Being a ghost is like floating in the air, without any sense of reality. There is a layer of separation... I still want to keep my feet on the ground and live a real life."

Guo Jie said that he was a little emotional: "In the next life, I must change my career! I will never be a programmer again, I want to live a good life!"

After listening to his words, Li Wu stood in the same place and fell into deep thought. Before he could think of anything, he fell into a pile of fluff.

Mu Mu squatted in front of her, blinked at her, and yelled "嘤嘤嘤" a few times, as if urging her to go faster, because she had been left behind for so long.

Seeing that she didn't respond, he simply rolled his tail and sent her to the fox's back, and ran forward with a bounce.

Guo Jie weakly shouted: "Wait for me!" I'm just a weak and pitiful bottle spirit who can only roll away... No, I can float out, why should I roll in the cooking wine bottle?

Li Wu buried his rabbit's head in the fox's fur and rubbed vigorously, forgetting all the worries and confusion in his heart.It's okay to think about life and death, life or death, isn't it good for her now?

Although there seems to be no room for improvement at work, there are beautiful foxes masturbating every day, eating and drinking without worrying about friends. Although a person is dead, his soul and body are still stable. This is considered healthy, and there is nothing wrong with it.

realism?And what could be more real than fluffy fur?

......

On the second night, all the lonely ghosts came on time, and the number seemed to be more than last time.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang also provided them with a simple set meal. After eating for a month, they couldn't just get away with a bowl of plain rice every day.

After Zhou already got acquainted with some of the ghosts inside, they all came to order food in advance with grimaces.

There are many ghosts, and everyone has different preferences. It is impossible to satisfy everyone with only one meal a day, so Zhou Jiran held another dish voting, and the response was quite good.

The two most profound ghosts in it are Mannia and the old man with long hair.Mannia was a ghost in the Republic of China, and the old man was earlier, in the late Qing Dynasty.The two of them ate a lot of sacrifices to the orphans in Tao Zhai.

Mannia has a bright personality, and she got to know Zhou Jiran the first time. Knowing that Tao Jiang can see them now, she teased and said that she also watched Tao Jiang grow up, and gave Zhou Jiran a detailed description of Tao Jiang when she was a child how cute.

......

The closer the time was to July and a half, the fewer ghosts came. At first, Zhou already thought that they were full, or figured it out, and went back to reincarnate by himself.

Mannia, who was there every day, still ordered dishes on the first day, but the ghost was nowhere to be seen the next day.

Zhou already realized that something was wrong.
