Chapter 5
After a while, in the living room on the first floor, Xin Chuyun poured warm scented tea for both her husband and son. She paused, then took out her husband's tea cup, poured a cup and placed it in front of Shi Huaixi.
"Thank you auntie."
A little doll thanked herself with a pretty nice voice, which felt a little strange, but it wasn't too bad. Xin Chuyun was much more receptive than her husband who was still in a trance beside her.
She looked at her thin and pale eldest son with pity, "Ran Ran, how can you hide this kind of thing from mom and dad? For so many years, fortunately nothing happened to you..." She suppressed the choking in her throat, "This Just stay at home for three months, and you will study hard with your younger brother, and your parents will also ask eminent monks and masters, everything is with us."
From the door, Xin Jianran fell into an indescribable state, everything in his sight was covered with colorful patches, his ears were buzzing, and all the sounds he heard were distorted, and everything had no sense of reality. Floating, the world is bizarre.
Xin Zhuo uttered the secret he had kept for a long time like this, and his parents just accepted it like this, it was too illusory, illusory like a dream that could be broken with a poke.
Those rejections, doubts, and fears suffered because of these eyes are not fake. Isn't Cheng Ting the only one who can accept this matter and accept such a trouble?
Only Cheng Ting's voice was clear, and he comforted him with a gentle voice that would only speak to him: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of you, nor do I hate you, I'm different from others, I will always protect you, Always with you."
What about Cheng Ting?Where is Cheng Ting?He wanted to wake up from this dream.
"Ran Ran, Ran Ran! What's wrong with you, Ran Ran?"
"Xin Jianran!" Shi Huaixi's voice exploded in his ears, Xin Jianran suddenly came back to his senses, his forehead was cold, those spots disappeared, and his hearing returned to normal. He saw his mother holding his shoulders, and his father leaning over to watch Looking at him, Shi Huaixi was floating in front of him, Xin Zhuo was still sitting in his original position, with a striking yellow talisman between his fingers.
"I'm fine..." The voice was so hoarse that I was startled.
"You broke out in a lot of cold sweat..." Xin Chuyun pulled out a tissue, seeing her son subconsciously hiding back, feeling sad, and handing the tissue over, Lu Ganlai hesitated and said, "Why don't you call the doctor?"
Xin Jianran shook his head, "I'm fine, no need."
Xin Chuyun disagreed, "Then after a few days of rest, I'll take you for a full body checkup."
"I don't need it anymore." Xin Zhuo said.
Xin Chuyun just looked at him silently, Xin Zhuo avoided her gaze, "If I didn't say anything, I'll go and pack my luggage."
"I'll take you up, Lao Lu, you prepare breakfast."
"Okay, do you have a lot of luggage? Do you want me to help?"
Xin Zhuo gestured with the suitcase in his hand.
Their room is on the third floor. The stairs are made of wood, covered with light blue carpets, and there are many paintings on the walls, ranging from famous paintings to graffiti. It is a very serious home.
The two rooms on the third floor are facing each other, and they are decorated in different styles. Even though the two sons have never been home to live in, the couple has arranged their room very carefully and cleaned it diligently, so that they have changed the sheets now You can sleep under the quilt.
Both Xin Jianran and Xin Zhuo rejected Xin's mother's act of making the bed. The latter gave up and pushed open the door. In the open space, there were huge swings, tents that were put away, and boxes neatly placed on the porch. telescope.
"Your father and I messed around with the third floor. You have to live happily. If you want to rearrange it, you can rearrange it. This place is also the same. Put it in whatever you want. The entire third floor is yours."
Xin Zhuo's eyes swept over the astronomical telescope, he nodded and entered the room.
Xin Chuyun patted Xin Jianran on the shoulder carefully, "Take a good bath, and come down for breakfast after the bath."
Xin Jianran froze at such intimacy, he wanted to respond, but his throat seemed to be convulsed and deformed, and he only let out a grunt, he quickly stopped his voice and nodded vigorously.
Shi Huaixi followed Xin Jianran into the room. The latter took out a change of clothes from his bag, paused, and then opened the closet. The closet was full of clothes, all of which were very vibrant colors. Black and white gray.
Seeing Xin Jianran hesitate, Shi Huaixi floated over, patted a light orange T-shirt, "Put this on."
Xin Jianran wanted to say something, but Shi Huaixi said, "Your mother must be very happy wearing this."
Xin Jianran silently took off the dress, turned around and went into the bathroom.
The sound of water sounded, Shi Huaixi floated to the bay window and sat down, the sun slanted in, he sat in the shadow, stretched his round feet under the sun, it was not a comfortable feeling, nor was it uncomfortable.
If he had to say it, he felt like ice cream, which would slowly melt in the sun.
So he retracted his foot, a little regretful, he really likes to bask in the sun.
But it's not bad to be distracted like this. This kind of life of doing nothing and not knowing what will happen tomorrow makes him very relaxed.
There was a knock on the door, Shi Huaixi floated to the bathroom door, just as the bathroom door opened, Xin Jianran came out wiping his hair, and heard the knock on the door, he walked over, Shi Huaixi tugged at his sleeve, "Let me try. "
As he spoke, he stared intently at the doorknob, which automatically pushed down, and the door was also pulled open.
Lazy benefits.
It was Xin Zhuo who came, and he had just taken a shower, his hair was still wet, his face was still cold, and he came straight to the point, "When I'm at home, this ghost must be within my sight."
Xin Jianran frowned, "He's not a ghost who can hurt people."
"Who knows," he looked at Shi Huaixi, "If you want to stay in this house, you must either follow me, or I will put a talisman on you. Once it hurts others, this talisman will wipe you out."
Shi Huaixi sat on Xin Jianran's shoulder, "If you have a way to separate me from Xin Jianran, it doesn't matter if I follow you."
It's nothing more than eating melons from a different perspective, without being tied down.
"What do you mean?"
"I wanted to ask your master about this matter, but I forgot it later. I don't know if you can solve it."
"Say."
"The distance between me and Xin Jianran cannot exceed three meters."
Xin Zhuo paused, pinched his fingers, and asked, "What is your birth date?"
Shi Huaixi reported the year, month and day, "I don't know the exact time."
The other two were silent after saying this, Shi Huaixi looked back and forth, "What's wrong?"
Xin Jianran said softly, "My date of birth is the same as yours."
"It should be exactly right," Xin Zhuo looked at Xin Jianran, "stretch out your right hand, palm up."
Xin Jianran silently followed suit.
A talisman ignited spontaneously without fire between Xin Zhuo's fingers. He put the burning yellow talisman in the middle of Xin Jianran's palm, and at the same time gave a low voice, "Don't move."
Xin Jianran froze, trying not to move, the fire wasn't hot, but it seemed to be walking through the bones and flesh, an indescribable discomfort.
When the fire burned out, the white ash formed a line, extending from the middle finger, getting thinner and thinner, and it was broken at the palm, which was continued from the side, and when it extended to the wrist, the line was already thin Almost gone.
Xin Zhuo took out another talisman and pressed it on the palm, and the white ash was all attached to the yellow talisman, "Go down and have breakfast first, we'll talk about it later."
Xin Jianran withdrew his hand and walked out silently, while Shi Huaixi probed and asked, "Are you looking for your master?"
Shi Huaixi's question was quite plain, he was just curious, but the dark little Grim Reaper, floating around with round arms and legs, had a rather murderous look when he tilted his head with those black two-dimensional eyes sewn in cloth. With an invisible sense of ridicule, Xin Zhuo stretched out his finger with a cold face, and poked Shi Huaixi out.
Steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks and fish fillet congee were placed on the dining table, which was a warm home-cooked taste. Shi Huaixi wondered where the distance of three meters would be enough for him to wander, but Xin's mother asked him, "Can you eat? I forgot to ask your name. "
Shi Huaixi talked about how to write his name, "Auntie can just call me Huaixi, I probably won't be able to eat anything." He saw the fish porridge on the table, and his heart felt warm, "Thank you, Auntie, for your support." I intend to."
Xin Zhuo passed them and sat down, he watched the black puppet floating in the air and looking around, as if looking for a place to shelter, his back showed that he was homeless.
He had a faint guess about the matter between him and Xin Jianran in his heart, and his attitude was no longer so cold. He reached out and picked up the little puppet, let him stand in front of the bowl, and then took out a puppet from his pocket. Zhang talisman, the talisman paper is wrapped with a small and thin incense and lit, and the smoke that rises all floats into the little puppet's body, and the incense burns out quickly.
"You can smoke it."
Shi Huaixi held the side of the bowl and took a sip, his mouth was filled with the fresh aroma of fish porridge, "It's delicious."
Xin Chuyun pulled her husband to sit down, and smiled softly, "It's good if it's delicious. Everyone who has tasted your Uncle Lu's cooking skills says it's good."
Lu Ganlai also nodded. He was more serious than his wife. He had a straight back and a well-exercised figure when he was sitting. Approached, "Is this... similar to enshrining?"
Shi Huaixi also looked over curiously.
Xin Zhuo felt his hands itch when he saw it, and he tugged at his hat before answering, "Basically, lonely souls and wild ghosts can't eat anything, and only the named sacrifices can be burned in front of them."
Shi Huaixi choked on the word sacrifice, "Thank you, but don't talk about sacrifice next time, I just died not long ago."
The person next to him snorted slightly, and pulled his hat again.
Xin Jianran was also very happy to see that Shi Huaixi was able to eat. He took the fried dough sticks from his mother, and the sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if he had given his courage. Is there any ghost thing?"
Mother Xin vaguely understood one of the reasons why the eldest son refused to live with them, "I know, it's the fault of mom and dad, and I never told you that your grandfather was a Taoist priest who exorcised ghosts before he was alive. The road was not hidden from us."
It turned out to be like this, he couldn't tell whether it was regret or disappointment, he didn't make a sound, Lu Gan came to see this, and gave him a small steamed bun.
Xin Jianran ate it.
For Shi Huaixi, this breakfast experience was very good. As the only ghost on the table, the couple did not show too much curiosity, and they didn't even ask about his relationship with Xin Jianran, let alone Talking about his life, the cause of death, etc., just ordinary greetings, talking about favorite food and drink, and ended the breakfast.
After eating, Xin Zhuo went upstairs alone. After Xin Jianran was at a loss, he was pushed and sat in front of the French window to bask in the sun.
Shi Huaixi calculated the distance and helped clean up the dishes. The Xin family's parents naturally stopped him, but Shi Huaixi said, "In addition to doing small things, I also want to show my ability." He raised his hand, and the nearby Two or three dishes floated into the air and floated steadily to the kitchen, "Isn't it pretty powerful?"
He felt that he was quite tall...a tall ghost, and very caring, but with such a cute body, he raised his round head—like a child waiting to be rewarded with a little red flower.
Xin Chuyun was very happy to reward him with the little red flower, and her voice became more gentle, "It's amazing."
Shi Huaixi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and sent all the dishes to the kitchen with a groan.
After disposing of the dishes, Xin's parents were about to go out to work, and the children came back. They were ecstatic and frightened. They wanted to turn down all the work, but they were afraid of disturbing the children. After much deliberation, they decided to Go to work, it's time to rest.
Before leaving, Xin Chuyun handed the key to Xin Jianran, "If you want to go out, can you tell your parents?"
Xin Jianran held the key and nodded. He was still sitting on the small round stool by the floor-to-ceiling window. Xin Chuyun couldn't help but raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Mom has gone to work."
Lu Ganlai gently patted his son's head while he was in a daze, "Dad has gone too."
Shi Huaixi sent them to the door and said goodbye to them.
The car stopped when it drove out of the townhouse area. Xin Chuyun looked at her husband who was crying with tears in his eyes, and coaxed him with red eyes, "If you cry again, you will not be able to see the road clearly."
Lu Ganlai was sobbing and choking.
Xin Chuyun patted his head, "Forget it, I'll drive, you can change your seat and cry."
"Are they...are they only staying for three months?"
"It doesn't matter how long you stay," Xin Chuyun patted her husband's back, "It's good to be back."
