Patriarch enjoys meal
Chapter 54
Zhou Jiran asked many ghosts who came to eat for news about Mannia, but he didn't get any useful information.
These lonely ghosts have always been solitary, so they gather once a year in July.There are misfortunes and blessings for people, let alone these lonely souls that no one cares about.Every year, there will be many new faces, and many familiar old ghosts will quietly disappear.
Maybe it's because I couldn't stand the torture and lost my soul, or maybe I suddenly thought about myself and went to reincarnation.The ghosts that have no one to enshrine are struggling, and they can't even take care of themselves. No one will pay attention to where the ghosts that disappeared have gone.
Not to mention the ghosts that disappear in July, the number released every year when the ghost gate opens, never matches the number when the ghost gate closes.
The world is so prosperous, how many things that you can't see clearly when you are a human being become a ghost but become nostalgic.When the time comes, there is never a shortage of ghosts who choose to take risks and stay in the world.
Having said that, Zhou Jiran feels that this may not be the case.
When Zhou had no clues and was at a loss, the long-haired old ghost who always left after eating and never stopped showed him the way.
"That little girl was a singer before she was alive. She has been dead for so many years and still hums a few words from time to time. You just go to the lively place." After speaking, he left without caring about Zhou Weiran's reaction.
Zhou Jiran and Tao Jiang looked at each other, where is the most lively place here at night?
The Sanxi bridge where they went for a walk was a green corridor on one side and a bar street on the other.It is very quiet during the day, and the lights of the street can shine until dawn at night.
The body fished out of the Sanxi River has affected people walking in the green corridor, but it will not affect the business of this street.When Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang arrived, it was the busiest time here.
Before entering the store for a week, I already felt the power of the crazy flashing lights inside.Walking around from the street to the end of the street, Mannia didn't feel where she was, but there were quite a few people who struck up a conversation.
Not long after, all the girls who played in the bars on this street knew that there were two handsome guys with tall legs and long legs.Some people ran out and secretly took pictures.
I don't know that Tao Jiang's good looks are so superior that it is inevitable that people will gradually become obscene, lest they will be profaned.Or maybe Zhou Jiran is too cute and kind, which makes people feel close to him easily. In short, all the people who come to strike up a conversation are all looking for Zhou Jiran to talk to, but their eyes are fixed on Tao Jiang every now and then.
After coping with countless temptations from drunkards who didn't care about drinking, Zhou Jiran finally determined where Mannia's aura was.
Surprisingly, it is actually in a Qing Bar at the end of the street, and the location is quite remote.There was light music playing inside, there were not many people, they were sitting in twos and threes chatting softly, Zhou Ziran pushed the door open and no one paid attention.
It was the first time for Zhou to come to this kind of place, he couldn't figure out the way and he was a bit restrained, but he watched Tao Jiang, who was quiet and familiar with the way, ordered two drinks with low alcohol content for the two of them.
Zhou Jiran sat down at a remote table, raised his eyebrows slightly at Tao Jiang, and said with a teasing smile: "It's quite familiar."
Tao Jiang's expression remained unchanged, his clear and bright eyes fixedly looked at him, and said, "I used to work part-time in a bar."
Zhou Jiran stared at him with wide eyes, and soon lost the fight after not holding on for long, and took the lead to look away: "The business in that bar must be very good."
Tao Jiang was noncommittal.
The drinks ordered by the two came to the table quickly, and Zhou already took the opportunity to ask the bar attendant for news.
"A beauty in a cheongsam? Yes!" The waiter turned his head and looked around the bar. "A few days ago, I came to our place every day, and it was about this time. Today...it seems that I didn't come, but you can also wait a little longer. Wait, maybe something will delay you today."
Sure enough, Mannia came here for recreation, and it was impossible for her to stay in the human world for a month in the form of a ghost. Naturally, she had to experience the joy of being a human being.With her appearance and temperament, it is impossible to come here without a name.
After the waiter left, Zhou already took a sip of the pink drink. Tao Jiang already knew his taste quite well after living together for so long, and the sweet and sour taste instantly captured his taste buds.After taking a big gulp, Zhou Jiran puffed out his cheeks and glanced around quietly. Seeing that no one was looking at him, he quickly took out a talisman, quickly swallowed his drink and recited the syntax mantra in a low voice.
The talisman trembled in his palm, and he twisted a few times into a small paper man the size of a thumb, jumped onto the table, and then fell lightly to the ground, disappearing in the dim light of the bar in the blink of an eye.
After releasing the little paper figurine, Zhou already relaxed a lot. He squeezed the straw and poked it into Tao Jiang's cup. After taking a sip, he was overwhelmed by the bitter and bitter taste, and took several sips of his own drink before recovering.
"Your tongue isn't bad, is it? This is too bad to drink!" After complaining for a few words, Zhou Jiran added, "Or do you just like this bitter and spicy taste? It's too strange... ..”
Tao Jiang silently watched him holding the cup in his hands and fanning his tongue out to complain, maybe the lighting in the bar was too ambiguous, and the bright red was as warm as eyes and heart.Tao Jiang lowered his eyes and picked up the cup to take a big sip. The cold and bitter drink extinguished the unknown flame in time, leaving only a few wisps of green smoke faintly rising, indicating the previous unrest.
"This is not suitable for drinking alone." Tao Jiang calmed down and said.
Zhou already looked at the cup of drink with a strong color like a forest: "Like a coffee mate? Or do you have to ask the waiter for sugar?"
His expression was obviously novelty, and he was eager to try to transform this 'difficult' drink.As soon as he looked up, Tao Jiang could only see the sparkle in the other pair of eyes.
The green smoke was not extinguished, and it was revived in a blink of an eye.
He took another big sip, but there was only spicy food left in his mouth. Tao Jiang felt that the base of his tongue was numb from the heat.
"Just mix it with your cup."
Zhou Jiran poured his pink drink into Tao Jiang's cup without saying a word.
The two colors, one dark and one light, suddenly collide in the glass, just like spring flowers blooming in the forest.
Zhou already stirred it with a straw, and once the flowering period was over, there was only the forest left, and only occasionally the scent of flowers could be glimpsed.
After taking a sip, Zhou already gave a super high praise without hesitation.Tao Jiang was also inexplicably relieved when he saw his smiling brows and eyes.
The little paper man came back before he finished drinking a glass of mixed drink. It climbed along Zhou Weiran's trousers all the way to his arm, and pulled Zhou Weiran's clothes out.
"Found it! Let's follow the little paper figurine!"
......
Zhou Ziran and Tao Jiang stood at the door of the bar toilet with a dazed expression on their faces.
This bar is very artistically decorated, there is a hand-painted curtain hanging at the door of the toilet, and there are bottles of delicate flowers on the sink outside.
The little paper figurine was still persistently pulling Zhou Weiran's trousers, as if the ghost he was looking for was inside, why didn't you go in eagerly.
While they were in an embarrassing stalemate, someone came out of the toilet.As soon as I lifted the curtain and looked up, I saw two big men standing at the door of the women's toilet. If it weren't for their good looks, they might be regarded as perverts.
The lady who came out washed her hands awkwardly, and before leaving, she kindly reminded: "That...the men's toilet is on the other side."
Zhou Jiran's psychological quality is very good, and the embarrassment just now disappeared from his face. He smiled at her quite naturally: "Thank you, we will wait for someone."
The young lady turned away with envy and sourness for a woman who could keep such two handsome men waiting.
As soon as the person walked away, Zhou Jiran immediately dragged Tao Jiang to the men's room, but there was no one in the men's room at the moment.Zhou already dismantled the little paper figurine, took out the cinnabar pen from his pocket, and drew carefully on the yellow paper.
"Xuxu Lingling, Taishang Yuqing, helping the poor and helping the poor, cutting paper into soldiers, three souls to the left, seven souls to the right, get up quickly, obey my law!"
As soon as the spell fell, the paper figurine leaped down from Zhou Weiran's palm, and slowly turned into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a circle. It was rare for Zhou Jiran to draw so finely. There is a little flower.
As soon as the paper figurine girl landed on the ground, she gave a salute to Zhou Ji and ran away in a hurry.
"Ah!!!" A scream sounded from the door.
Zhou Jiran and Tao Jiang looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, there was no way, it was such a coincidence.
The eldest brother who came in to use the toilet saw them standing upright, scratched his head and smiled: "The little girl went to the wrong toilet. Fortunately, you were not there just now."
As he said that, he found a place to release the water, and his mouth didn't stop: "Looking at how young I am, I don't study well, why did I come here..."
Zhou Jiran was in a hurry to go out to meet the paper doll who had already entered the women's toilet, waved to the big brother who drained the water, and took Tao Jiang away.
The paper figurine moved very quickly, and within a few steps of Zhou Jiran, Tao Jiang, and the two of them, it was already standing at the door of the women's toilet with the almost transparent and unconscious Mannia.
Zhou Jiran looked at the yin energy that was still dissipating from Mannia's body, his face was heavy, but after not seeing him for a day, he had already started to lose his soul. If they came later, Mannia might...
Zhou already cast a soul-fixing curse on Mannia, but he could barely slow down the speed of the soul's dispersion.
After returning to Tao's house, Zhou Jiran took a piece of willow that he had just folded by the Sanxi River and used a small knife to roughly carve it into a human shape, and after moving Mannia's remaining soul body in, the dispersal of the soul barely stopped.
"Huh—" Zhou already let out a sigh of relief as he lay aside.
Li Wu, who was watching the excitement, was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
"Except for mathematics, I can't do anything else as long as I'm pushed." Zhou Jiran pretended to be brave, but in fact, his fingers that had just cut the willow wood were still aching.
"Can the omnipotent Master Zhou make me a human body?" Li Wu begged humbly, she had really done enough making dolls and rabbits.
"No," Zhou Jiran ruthlessly refused, "Don't be greedy, the one I made just barely has the shape of a human being, Mannia can transform into a normal human form as soon as she attaches it, it's not because of my good craftsmanship, but because of her profound knowledge. If you practice seriously and accumulate more merits, even if you are attached to a carrot in the future, you will be able to transform into a human form."
"Oh." Li Wu, who has always been a little passive and sabotage in this regard, rarely changed his mind to respond positively, "Alright, I will work hard, but the good people and good deeds I can do now are limited, last month's salary is donated Going out, I don’t know if I can open my mouth first, I want to eat a real piece of meat in my dreams!”
While chatting, Mannia, who had been unconscious all this time, suddenly opened her eyes, but her soul was still unstable, she forced a piece of crumpled kraft paper into Zhou Jiran's hand and passed out again.
Zhou already unfolded it and looked, startled: "Where is this stack of murder books?!"
The author has something to say: Little paper doll or paper doll girl (#`皮?): I have a bad temper!
Zhou Weiran: As long as I push, I can do everything except math problems!
