underworld

Chapter 33

On this day, the weather was gray, accompanied by light rain, and a gust of wind blew from time to time, and ghosts returning home passed by one by one.The servant Jilu bought fruit, preserved meat, wine, and money, wrapped his gown tightly, shrank his neck, and rushed to Ji's mansion.

"Master, madam, the sacrificial items are ready." A purple-clothed girl with a round face knocked on the door and said softly, "Li Daoren is also invited."

Inside the room, there was silence. A yellowish candle flickered through the window paper. After a few seconds, a tired and choked voice came out, "Okay, don't neglect them."

"Let's go, ma'am!"

Ji Bai's mother tidied up the clothes in front of him again. She came here from time to time, and she personally cleaned every corner of the room Ji Bai lived in and every item he used; Every time I miss him, I unpack and refold the packed clothes, and I always end up crying.Ji Bai's father also came over from time to time, he often held Ji Bai's ghost painting paste, and often looked at it for a long time, sad that he didn't love him more when he was alive.

The round-faced girl shook her head sadly, hey, the master and wife are good people, but the young master has too little life, what a pity!She still remembered that beautiful boy with peach blossom eyes last year, who couldn't walk anymore, had an optimistic smile on his face, teased her with a quill, and wanted to add a beauty spot to her.Hey, what an interesting person, what a pity!

In the lobby, the three masters and apprentices were taken to the guests' seats, and some preserved fruits, pastries and tea were immediately placed on the table.

Shaoyan put down his sword, and rolled his eyes to look around the mansion. The expression in his eyes showed four characters: rich man!

Shaofeng, who was holding a big knife, looked at his junior brother, looking like a bumpkin. He didn't feel ashamed, but he felt that the guy with the big sparkling eyes was cute.

Li Daochang stroked the few beards on his chin, raised his whisk, nodded his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shaoyan grabbed an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Looking at his master's serious face, it seemed that the wine bug had woken up and wanted to drink.

Ji Bai's parents came out.

"I've been waiting for a long time!" Father Ji said apologetically, and saluted.

Master Li Daochang and his disciples also got up and returned a salute.

"This is my son's birthday." Ji's father handed a note to Li Daochang.

Li Daochang took it with both hands, looked at the birthday above, his eyes gradually widened, as if he saw something incredible.

Seeing Li Daochang's expression, Ji's mother frowned directly, and grabbed Ji's father's sleeve, but her son is not doing well in the underworld?Ji's father also sullenly asked, "Daoist, what's the matter?"

"Master Dao, tell us what to do, we all agree." Ji Mu said at the same time.

"Don't worry, both of you, although the fate of the young master is like this in this life, but the young master is the fate of the rich and powerful over there!"

Ji's father and Ji's mother finally let go of the stone in their hearts, and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, a tall, tall man with a handsome face came in, his face darkened, "Uncle, Aunt." Ji's mother looked at her sister's son, filled with emotion in her heart, Ji Bai was only two years younger than this child, It would be nice to be alive.The child had a very good relationship with his own son. When he heard that his son had passed away, he also fell seriously ill.Ji's mother touched Shangli's head, her eyes were red, and she said affectionately, "Good boy."

"Prince Daoist, please go this way, the dojo has already been set up." Father Ji said, got up and led everyone to the backyard. Under a huge apricot tree, various sacrificial items were placed on the table.

Li Daochang nodded and walked forward. He closed his eyes and began to mutter a mantra. After a while, he wrote Ji Bai's birth date on a talisman, spraying water and circling...

Ji Bai and his wife just arrived, seeing this scene, Ji Bai had a big embarrassment on his face, where did we meet again!It was the three masters and apprentices again.Is this trying to cheat your own money?

In a blink of an eye, I saw my parents. The tall and serious father's hair was much grayer, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was very tired; the wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes were also much deeper, the eye circles were red, and tears were rolling inside.Scenes from the past flashed into Ji Bai's mind in an instant. When he was mischievous, although his father always chased him with a stick to beat him, he never really hit him. Even more so for himself in all kinds of love, Ji Bai always wondered if his character had already formed, and he didn't know what it would be like to be spoiled in the end.Why!Father, mother, the baby is back!Unfilial children...

The circles of his eyes were red, and he vaguely saw the person next to the Taoist apprentice, who looked very similar to the person beside him, with sadness in his brows, it was his cousin.

Ji Bai's heart trembled, cousin, you are here too!

The people behind kept looking at his expression, and when they saw Ji Bai staring at that person, they stretched out their hand and pulled him back, with obvious anger on their faces.

I wanted to say something, but seeing Ji Bai crying when he saw his parents, his heart tightened, forget it, go back and settle the score with you, and silently write down in the small notebook in his heart: July [-]th, Ji Bai Xiaobai, ignore my existence and stare at other people...

After half an hour, the sacrificial ceremony was over.

Ji's mother hurried forward, "Li Daochang, is my son back?"

"...It's daytime now, and the young master can't show up." Li Daochang stroked his beard and said it as a matter of course.

Can't show up, this is an interesting answer, neither saying that he came back, nor that he didn't come back.Ji Bai collected his emotions, glanced at it with disdain, took a deep breath, and let out a long breath at the old man. The old man instantly felt the deep malice from Ji Bai, and quickly covered his beard, no, this is sticky !

Ji's mother then asked, "can I see him tonight?"

"It depends on whether your son is willing to show up." Li Daochang still has some morals, he has just felt the existence of Ji Bai and others, so he said so.

Seeing what his wife wanted to ask, Ji's father quickly said: "Ji Lu, pack up quickly and take the Taoist priest to eat."

"Madam, I'll be talking for a while, the Taoist priest is already very tired." Ji's father also knew how Madam felt, but he couldn't be rude, so he said to Ji's mother. Ji's mother reluctantly nodded and pulled Shangli aside, " Li'er, let's eat with my aunt."

While they were eating, Ji Bai led Luo Ye around the place in front of him, talking while walking, obviously very happy to return to his old place.Afterwards, Ji Bai stayed beside his parents, unwilling to leave, sometimes ran to his mother, looked at her, and hugged her behind her like he did when he was a child; Said, "Dad, hit me!" He really missed the feeling at that time.But whenever he was about to run to his cousin, the ghost behind him coughed deliberately, Ji Bai ignored it, and still ran to Shangli and said, "Cousin, I miss you a lot!" Then Just being grabbed by Luo Ye with a black face, Ji Bai screamed and waved his hands wildly.However, after a while, Ji Bai started repeating again.

"It's so noisy, it's so noisy!" A shrill voice sounded, it turned out to be the red-billed green parrot who always swears.Only then did Ji Bai think of this little guy, and he also floated to its side, smiling and stroking the green hair on its head.

The days of the day passed quickly, and the night fell.

Ji's father ordered people to go up and down Ji's mansion, beside the road, the trees were lit with lanterns everywhere, in order to illuminate Ji Bai's way home.Looking at those busy figures, Ji Bai's eye circles became sore again, and he waited until some extra people went down, and then he showed up to meet his parents and cousin.

Finally, all the servants went down, and the Taoist master and apprentice were also taken to rest.

Ji Bai's parents and his cousin are still in the ancestral house, waiting for his arrival.

A gust of wind blew, the door closed with a bang, and the hearts of the people in the room hung up, but there was no one.Shang Li got up and walked towards the door, trying to open it.

"Mother!" Ji Bai's voice came from behind him, Shangli turned around and saw his cousin hugging his aunt and not letting go.

"Son!" They were all Ji Bai's closest people, and they were not afraid of words at all.The faces of several people were full of joy at seeing him.Ji's father also stared at Ji Bai for a moment, and Ji Bai then hugged his father again, "Father!"

"Hey..." Father Ji's eyes were red, and he kept saying this word.After a while, Ji Bai turned around and gave his cousin a big hug, Luo Ye coughed so hard that he was about to die. (Already out of breath>_<|||)

Ji Bai smiled slightly, "Come out too!" Luo Ye appeared, Ji Bai brought Luo Ye to his relatives, and happily introduced: "This is my...friend."

Luo Ye frowned in dissatisfaction, but he felt Ji Bai's hand shaking nervously, and knew what he was thinking.Alright, friend, let's settle the accounts when we go back, Ji Bai didn't know that Luo Ye had made a lot of accounts in his heart today.

"This child... really looks like Li'er!" Ji's mother said, looking at Luo Ye and then at Shang Li.Luo Ye raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak, the little Jiujiu in his heart was only known by Ji Bai.

Ji Bai rubbed his nose and smiled.Next, Ji Bai was surrounded by relatives.

"Over there, how are you doing? Is there anything missing?" Ji's mother asked anxiously.

"Okay, my house over there is like a palace, and there is nothing missing." When talking about the house, Luo Ye was very proud, and joked, could it be good that I specially designed it for my wife?

"Has anyone bullied you?"

"Who dares? I'm the only one who bullies others." Luo Ye nodded. If someone bullies his wife, hmph, he'll die impatiently and throw him into the Wangchuan River.

"...Is there a girl you like?" Ever since Ji Bai's death, that former daughter-in-law was promised to the housekeeper's son by Ji's mother, and he didn't want to think of her poor son when he saw her.

"..." Ji Bai was speechless, he turned his head and looked at Luo Ye beside him, who also looked at him expectantly, with a complicated expression. (He was thinking of the daughter of the beheaded ghost.)

Father Ji interrupted all of a sudden, "Ma'am, what are you talking about!"

"Son, what position do you have over there?"

"Belongs to a second-rank official." Ji Bai said hesitantly, he didn't want to say that he was a seducer.

Ji's father also asked casually, but he didn't expect his son to be on duty and a high-ranking official, so he nodded in satisfaction.

……

Time passed quickly, and the child time was approaching, Ji Bai and his wife had to leave, Ji Bai bid farewell to his parents one by one, came to Shang Li's side, and wanted to kneel down to him, Shang Li jumped and quickly supported him. He said, "Cousin, you don't need to tell me, I will take good care of my uncle and aunt."

That's exactly what Ji Bai meant, cousin, in the next life, I'll give it back to you!He stood up, looked at his relatives behind him again, closed his eyes cruelly, and dragged Luo Ye away.

As soon as he went out, he heard crying from inside the house, Ji Bai looked back again, Luo Ye wiped the tears on his face.The two shadows entered the darkness.

At this moment, a pair of red eyes flashed, and a black figure broke into the room, and then a shrill cry came: "Li'er—"
