Chapter 17: Ghosts at Home
"Mountain Gou Yue: The gold powder has not yet died out, and I can smell the fragrance of the six dynasties, full of tobacco that breaks one's heart at the end of the world. I'm afraid to rush the flower letter tightly, wind and rain, and miss the spring light." Zhou Hailong's mouth recited the first famous line of the Kun Opera Peach Blossom Fan, and his hand also kept grinding an old fan, which wasn't as bright as the vintage antique fan bought on the street, and the handle of the fan was even a bit rotted, but Zhou Hailong treasured it a lot because he knew that it was a real antique fan.
This fan Zhou Hailong also not long to hand, is a week ago he got from an antique collector, talking about that collector ah, also counted him unlucky, do not know where to receive the unclean things, the home is haunted, invited a lot of masters have no way to the last person to give him the idea to the last year to collect the things sold out chanting!
Which is just a joke, hey, did not think that the collector is listening to all go, but also really rummage boxes ready to sell the collection at a low price, Zhou Hailong is not a serious collector of antiques can only be said to have an appreciation of the interest it, so also to go to the hustle and bustle, but at a glance in this ancient fan, bought.
He bought this Ming and Qing dynasty ancient fan but there is a reason, since he was a child, he liked the Kunqu "Peach Blossom Fan" has been very yearning for Li Xiangjun waiting for when the domain of the kind of love, but unfortunately, the old also did not meet, and this ancient fan painted on the Peach Blossom Figure.
"Old man, time to sleep." Suddenly the old companion came over and shouted at Zhou Hailong.
"Coming!" Zhou Hailong responded, his old partner's habit he knows, after twelve o'clock that is a night don't want to sleep, dozens of how can't change, now old, originally sleep less, if again insomnia, that can be finished.
"Hey, old man, you recently is not the devil ah, every day holding a broken fan, but also sing something I do not understand." The old companion complained to Zhou Hailong.
"What broken fan, that's an ancient fan, do you understand the ancient fan, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand it, besides, what's wrong with singing kunqu, don't you also love to listen to it?" Zhou Hailong responded, but the heart is a little strange, kunqu old partner can not understand, it will not be dementia.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to bed, tomorrow we'll go see our grandson." The old partner said, too lazy to mix with him, mixing for decades and still not tired of it.
"Snap!" The light rested, Zhou Hailong also rolled over to sleep.
"Dang, dang, dang." The old pendulum clock rang three times, Zhou Hailong but suddenly woke up, and his partner is different, his sleeping habits are very shallow, a little bit of movement will wake up, just his old house on him and his partner two people, coupled with his partner has a slight cleanliness fetish, the home cleaned up, cockroaches and rats are simply not there, where to come to the movement it? Push next to the old partner, she just rolled over and continue to sleep, helpless Zhou Hailong lifted the quilt out of bed to check.
The room was open Zhou Hailong felt a cold wind, the body suddenly cold, and so walked to the living room when Zhou Hailong suddenly fell into the ice cellar, the living room there is a woman in the opera, or singing Peking Opera, at this time the woman is back Zhou Hailong, seems to have heard the footsteps, the woman turned her head.
"Uh, uh." Suddenly Zhou Hailong covered his chest, his face was ugly, and he slowly fell to the ground, because he saw that the woman who turned her head was bleeding from all seven orifices, her tongue was spitting out, a typical female ghost appearance on TV.
"Bang!" Zhou Hailong fell to the ground when his hand rubbed the cup on the coffee table, the sound of the cup falling to the ground in this quiet night seems extremely loud, Zhou Hailong's old companion was also awakened by the sound of the cup falling and breaking, his hand felt next to him, and found that no one, called a few times the old man also did not respond to, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, climbed up and turned on the light to find his old man is falling to the ground, his hand is still covered with his chest.
"Not good, heart attack." The old companion immediately realized, immediately rummage out musk heart pills, and then call 120, but did not find a pair of eyes are staring at her.
—
F City Polytechnic Institute, in the boys' dormitory building, Cai Ling was lying on his bed blowing on a small fan, holding his English book in his hand, but he was grunting and just about drooling. It was now a full two months since the old frustration incident, that is, it was only a month or so before the end of the semester.
Many people have already started to pick up their books and run to the study room in human form, and if it were another two weeks, they would probably still have to go to the library to fight for a place. But Cai Ling didn't have the slightest intention of reading right now.
Yes, for several months, Cai Ling was either practicing hand techniques or being dictated to, or else it was all kinds of Taoist knowledge and secret arts, and then the rest of the time was spent exercising and meditating, and occasionally drawing talismans, and if it wasn't for the fact that he had access to a cell phone and computer every day, Cai Ling thought that he was a recluse in the deep forests of the old forests.
"Master Fatty, what do you think this Goddess Tang hasn't come to you for so long." Dai Xingbiao said in Cai Ling's ear. Cai Ling opened one eye, looked down and cut a sound ignored him, now Cai Ling in the dormitory and even in the Polytechnic Institute that is a little famous figure, even the nickname has changed from three fat to fat master.
This change has to start from the old frustrated event, in the old frustrated by him, mom caught back after he did not know him, that mom said what, anyway, is to turn himself in, in addition to admitting that he killed Zhang Peng outside of what not to say, and finally after a week was sentenced to twenty years, Qian Manman Tang Xueru crisis is completely resolved.
And that night Cai Ling is not looking at them happy to sneak away well, the next day the parents of the two women also specially invited Cai Ling feast, driving a big Ben personally came to the school to pick up, can give enough face, Cai Ling can count on eating a meal, and in the two piles of Mao Grandpa they took out just mean to take a few on the way out.
But then think of this Cai Ling heartache, that incident Cai Ling received Feng Sheng Hong 10,000 dollars, so that the loser temperament undoubtedly Cai Ling already feel is a huge sum of money, so see that pile of money did not dare to, and after Ling Xu Zi is required to use the Taoist magic in the future to get money must spend more than half is used to help the poor.
That is to say, donations that made Cai Ling's heart ache so much that she wanted to cry. A week later, Tang Xueru was discharged from the hospital, the first thing after discharge is to find Cai Ling, which is to let a lot of people fell through the eyes of the more incredible is that Cai Ling surprisingly do not give a damn about her, Cai Ling knows that she is a little curious about their own Taoist art, but Taoist art of many of these things are not secret, the so-called law does not pass the six ears is the meaning of this.
But I did not expect Tang Xue Ru is not relentless, each time with a bunch of questions to ask Cai Ling, Cai Ling each time is to shirk, but can not afford to be pretty their own cheap ah, Tang Xue Ru casually coaxed two sentences of Cai Ling can not find the north and south, in addition to the Lingxu Zi thousands of instructions of the secret did not say, basically, Cai Ling has no secret.
This way, Cai Ling became the hero of a few roommates, and changed Cai Ling three fat nickname for the fat master, of course, more often called fat three, a month after the Qian Manman Man back to school, and Tang Xue Ru banquet Cai Ling is envious of how many bystanders, and that time, Cai Ling dormitory brothers also have the honor of two goddesses and have dinner together. "Tell me, fat master, you just tell little get it." Dai Xingbiao shook Cai Ling's arm.
"Lao Er, don't quarrel dead, Lao Zi is thinking about the big things in life, she comes or not about my ass, her cell phone number you are not memorized? Call and ask yourself." Cai Ling slapped away Dai Xingbiao's hand and said, I don't know why, every time he was with Tang Xue Ru he would be very careful to hide something, so no matter how active Tang Xue Ru was, they were just very ordinary friends now.
"Che, Fatty Three, who doesn't know that Goddess Tang just cares about you alone, isn't it just that you know some martial arts? As for being so smug?" Dai Xingbiao was a bit sour because Cai Ling explained that the reason Tang Xue Ru came to him was because he had saved them once with martial arts, and Cai Ling had also performed martial arts in front of them many times.
"If martial arts could pick up girls, I wouldn't have been a bachelor for so long… If you want to do something, do it… That's what makes you a real man… Women, especially goddesses, hate men with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts." Cai Ling said expressionlessly, he is not willing to hurt the feelings between brothers, but also not willing to break through his own bottom line.
"Hmph, just do it, who's afraid of who." Dai Xingbiao hummed in a small voice, sometimes men are more sensitive than women, it's easy to understand what the words mean. "Lao San, you can also see that Lao Er likes Tang Xue Ru, since you don't like her, can't you help?" Suddenly Cai Ling's phone rang and opened it to see that he was watching a movie.
"Since you admit to being a loser, you don't have to mess with a goddess, there's no possibility of happiness for people who aren't in the same class, I'm doing it for his own good." Cai Ling replied, then obviously turned off his cell phone, got up and went out of the dormitory. With a bored mind, unable to memorize incantations, unable to draw talismans, unable to even practice hand techniques, and always making mistakes, Cai Ling had no choice but to go out for a run.
After a few months of exercise, Cai Ling's body weight are not much change, but physical strength is much better, before Cai Ling one thousand meter test never pass, basically walk down, now every day do not run a three or five thousand meters Cai Ling feel the whole body itch, only Ling Xu Zi for this achievement seems to be very dissatisfied, but take Cai Ling have no way, because weight loss for Cai Ling is more difficult than one hundred incantations, one thousand hand skills. difficult things.
When he was tired of running, Cai Ling found a place in the shade of a tree to sleep and rest. "Bang" "Aigoo" was sleeping in a daze, Cai Ling suddenly felt a strange wind blowing, put up his hand and blocked, a foot kicked his arm, Cai Ling arm upward swing, the man immediately fell forward. Kick in the arm of the force is not heavy, coupled with that on the ouch is a female voice, Cai Ling did not pursue, and the waist a force, hand a support stood up.
"How is it you, didn't I say not to joke with me like this? Really asking for trouble." After seeing the visitor clearly, Cai Ling rolled his eyes and said, then sat down again with his butt.
"Hey, what do you mean, don't help me up after you've gotten me down don't you." Tang Xue Ru said with some aggravation. Cai Ling rubbed his face, wanting to coldly refuse, but as soon as he saw the aggrieved expression of the beauty, he immediately passed his hand over and pulled her up.
"What are you looking for me for today?" Cai Ling asked. "What, can't I come to you if there's nothing to do? Who was the one who patted his chest at the dinner party in the first place and said that if you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me." Tang Xue Ru replied.
"That's drunken talk, you believe it too? Besides those cockamamie things of yours don't look for me, I'm not a robot cat whatsoever, and those are too offensive, already many people warned me, if you want me to get killed you just continue well." Cai Ling said.
"Damn, dead fat, you think I'm willing to find you, you also long face you, my things I say words do not know how many people line up to do it for me, you are good, but also smack." Tang Xue Ru was infuriated by Cai Ling's nonchalant attitude.
"Wow, that's my fault, I'm sorry ah, what's the problem today, how about this, I'll call my friend to come and give you a hand, I still have things to do so I'll leave first." Cailin stood up and patted the leaves on his butt, ready to leave. "So what if your friend can't help me?" Tang Xue Ru said.
Cai Ling stopped and turned his head, "What do you mean? Did you run into something unclean?"
