What day could it be?
I've been thinking for a long time, July 15?
No, the day hasn't come yet, besides, the ghost gate is opened on July 15, if there is any activity in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it should be more formal, and there is no need to dress like this, right?
Zhong Lingxiu really couldn't think of it when she saw me, so she said angrily and funny: "Do you know what Qixi is?"
”I was stunned for a moment, Tanabata ......
I really forgot!
Qixi Festival is also called the Qiqiao Festival, in the legend, the unmarried girl sits under the grape trellis, through the Qixi Milky Way starlight thread, can get the blessing of the Weaver Girl, become ingenious.Women in the old society must be able to needlework, which is an important indicator of whether they can get married, no man is willing to marry a lazy daughter-in-law, however, now the times have changed, I remember Luo Xiaomei mentioned before, now after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the local custom, is that girls should sew something for the man they like under the grape trellis, in this way, it is equivalent to sewing the man's heart, and he can't run, and he won't change his mind.My ears immediately burned - what's the matter, is Zhong Lingxiu going to sew me something?
Zhong Lingxiu looked at me as if she understood, and took me out: "Today's Heavenly Master Mansion is on holiday, I'll take you out for a spin - you have been in the Heavenly Master Mansion for so long, it seems that you haven't had a holiday." ”This is also true, but there are so many things in the Heavenly Master's Mansion now, where is the time for holidays?
I still wanted to speak, but Zhong Lingxiu glared at me, and like an angry King Kong, I was so angry that I was scared and held back my words.This is also the case, people take a proper rest, maybe it can be more efficient.In the past, Qixi Festival has nothing to do with me, I mostly sit in the melon shed, watching the Kong Ming lanterns flying in the sky, and occasionally, I can also see the secluded place near the melon field, holding young men and women one-on-one, kissing the mouth.Cold, I remembered that Sister Begonia was here again.If Sister Haitang stays in the village, she is so good-looking, maybe she can marry the big boss, and maybe she ......
Will she marry me?
I was startled by this idea, forget it, I don't have any skills except planting melons all day long, pointing to what people want to marry me, is it a melon shed with my neck stretched out and drinking the wind?
It's better to say goodbye, to suffer hardships and sins, and I don't want Sister Begonia to be with me.But I still couldn't hold back, thinking of those elementary school classmates in the village who had children early.Entering the city, I found that the streets were full of roses for sale, and now, under the influence of foreign marketing policies, the Qixi Festival has become Valentine's Day, and everywhere are young men and women in pairs, and many people go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to line up to get a certificate regardless of today's inappropriateness.Because of walking with a goddess-level figure like Zhong Lingxiu, there are no people around us who pass by us who don't look at us a few times, Zhong Lingxiu is amazing, I am jealous, and a few men are fascinated, and they are pinched by the girl on their arm.Not to mention, it's particularly face-saving.Zhong Lingxiu's hand hung on the side, often touching my hand, I thought about it for a long time, and as soon as my heart was horizontal, I held her hand in the palm of my hand.It's a big deal to be thrown off, and you won't lose a piece of meat.Before she could think about it, she was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her fingers and intertwined them with my ten fingers.It feels special, I don't have any culture, I can't describe it, anyway - happy.Sneaking a glance at her, I saw that behind her hair that was picked up by the early autumn breeze, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, as if she was holding back a smile, but she couldn't hold back.I couldn't help but think about the future.It's a pleasure to be together every minute and every second, and after that, there are decades of long life, can you be so happy?
When I reach the Heavenly Rank, I will be able to stay in the Heavenly Master's Mansion and be with her for the rest of my life.As if seeing my thoughts, Zhong Lingxiu seemed to remember something, and said: "Speaking of which, when you go out this time, you have risen to another level, and with a little merit, you can become a heavenly order." ”I was stunned, so fast?
That's right......
This time, the merit is indeed huge, after all, it is a cave of ten thousand ghosts.If the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave is opened, it will be a big trouble - after all, when I ascend to the ground level, more and more merits are needed, and it is more and more difficult to climb up.Zhong Lingxiu asked tentatively, "Are you looking forward to ascending to the Heavenly Rank?"
After all, I promised you......"
She promised me that she would tell me the whereabouts of the real Sister Begonia, and the bald second uncle promised me that when I reached the heavenly level, I would agree to Zhong Lingxiu's marriage with me."
It's anticipation."
I said, "I'll be able to protect you for the rest of my life." ”Zhong Lingxiu stared at me, as if she didn't expect me to say this, so I smiled at her and squeezed her hand tighter."
But......"
Zhong Lingxiu hesitated: "Now in this situation of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, if you stay by my side, it will be dangerous......"
Yes, now the Heavenly Master's Mansion is the target of everyone, it is simply stormy, but so what?
Zhong Lingxiu did not hesitate to give up the chief celestial master for me, what am I afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, two people are better than one person.Those complicated things, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid, wouldn't it be too much to be afraid.The happy time always passed quickly, just wandering around aimlessly, and the day passed quickly, and when it was dark, I wondered what the next step would be.Zhong Lingxiu seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have you ever been to the ghost market?"
”I shook my head—I had heard of it, but I hadn't really opened my eyes.The so-called ghost market is not a gathering of thousands of ghosts, but some people in the industry, in a specific place, selling some shady things, I heard the rabbit said.Moreover, the last time Zuo Yihang wanted to kill me, he was the one he was looking for in the ghost market.Zhong Lingxiu was a little expectant, and immediately said: "I want to go - when I was a child, I went with my dad once, but then I ......"
Her eyes dimmed.Later, Zhong Lingxiu's father died, and all the burden fell on herself, she couldn't go if she wanted to, and people like the bald second uncle around her would always persuade that it was not the place where people of her status should go.She can't be Zhong Lingxiu anymore, she has to be the chief celestial master.Zhong Lingxiu pursed her lips and said, "My dad bought me candy there, I still remember it, it's quite delicious, I don't know if anyone still sells it after so many years." ”Candy is a local thing with a long history, all kinds of fruits are pickled in honey, put on ice cubes to sell, my grandfather also bought it for me, the price is very cheap, when I was a child, I didn't have money, I didn't eat much, I can eat it once in a while, and I relish it.But Tan Dong and the others saw it, so they laughed at me and said that it was dirty, that is, a wild child like me without a father and mother could eat it."
I want to eat too, let's go."
However, that place was mixed, and it would be troublesome to be recognized, so I bought sunglasses and a hat on the side, and armed myself with Zhong Lingxiu as if I were a wanted criminal, and went to the ghost market.The ghost market is not easy to find - there is the same formation as Dong Ji, without the guidance of industry insiders, you are not allowed to enter, but fortunately, Zhong Lingxiu has a good brain, even if he only went there when he was a child, he is still familiar with it.Although the location of the ghost market remains the same, the entrance often changes, and when it gets dark, there are three red lanterns lit at the entrance.Generally, Chinese like to be in pairs, afraid of singular numbers, and people who have not lit three red lanterns in plain water, follow this clue to find the past, it is accurate.Sure enough, after bypassing the two formations, we saw a long alley in the depths, with a little red light, and ran there.It stands to reason that no one will walk in this kind of alley, but as soon as we entered, there were no people coming and going in the alley, so it can be seen that there is no mistake.When I arrived at the door with three red lanterns, I went in and saw that it was really an eye-opener - such a small entrance, but the inside was quite large.The bustling people are all shuttling people, and there are many small stalls on the side of the road, all of which have things that you can't usually see.And the people who come to buy things in the ghost market are the same as us, as if they are afraid of being recognized, they all bow their heads, wear hats and masks, etc., we are mixed in, and they are really inconspicuous.I was about to find out if there was a candy stall, when I suddenly noticed a somewhat familiar figure flashing through the crowd.
