MTL - After Rebirth, I Returned to Miaojiang to Inherit My Family Business-Chapter 6 cock crowing
"Have you packed everything, don't forget anything, it's a five-day drive!"
"Clothes for food, clothes for your grandma, cousins, cousins and others, don't hold back the food, be careful when riding in the car, don't say that there will be any dirty hands and feet!"
In the bustling station hall, the witch mother chattered about hanging the big and small bags on Wu Rong's hands, almost more anxious than going out by herself.
"Oh, your grandmother's body, I've wanted to bring her to the city for a long time, but her old lady is so stubborn. You two are as stubborn as if you were carved out of the same mold!"
The witch mother sighed. At the beginning, they said they still had time, and it was only a week later that Grandma Wu Rong’s 90th birthday would arrive. However, it would take five days just to travel from Yangjiaping to Qiandongnan Safety Zone, so they didn’t have much time to prepare.
Originally, she wanted to go with Wu Rong, but Wu Rong was determined. The witch mother was angry at first, but became worried when she saw her off today. After vigilantly looking at the pedestrians left and right, she whispered in Wu Rong's ear:
"Have you hidden the talisman that Taoist priest gave you?"
"Um."
Wu Rong touched his chest, the talisman that Fu Qing gave him was carefully sewn into an amulet by his mother, and asked him to carry it close to his body.
"What are you touching! Are you afraid that others will know that you are carrying good things!"
The hand was knocked off, and the witch mother hated iron and steel in a low voice: "Take a good thank you later, this is a genuine good thing, and it is fate that he is willing to give it to you. Keep in touch with him later, if you can learn one and a half tricks You don’t have to go all the way back to Miaojiang…”
"Bus Z-M3056 is about to arrive at the station. Passengers boarding the bus should bring their tickets as soon as possible and line up at the entrance."
"Bus Z-M3056 is about to arrive at the station. Passengers boarding the bus should bring their tickets as soon as possible and line up at the entrance."
"Hurry up, the bus has arrived, it's time to go!"
"Little bastard, remember to call me when you get in the car! Tell me when you arrive!"
Wu Rong complied calmly, and effortlessly carried the big bags and small bags along with the crowd to check tickets and board the train. He was tall, a full head taller than the people around him, and he was very handsome, very conspicuous in the crowd. As soon as Wu Rong put away his luggage and sat down, the aunt who was in the bed opposite him said with enthusiasm and concern: "Young man is bold, you go out alone without elders watching over you?"
"The Yunnan-Guizhou line has to pass through five ghost regions, so it's very dangerous. How dare you come here alone at such a young age?"
Wu Rong was only eighteen years old in his life. Although his brows and eyes were sharp, his face was still tender. Anyone with experience could tell at a glance that he was not too old.
"Um."
Wu Rong responded, and seeing that he was taciturn and unable to chat, the aunt went to chat with someone else. Not long after the vehicle started, the scenery outside the window slowly moved back. Wu Rong put down her phone and waved to her mother on the platform outside the window. When she raised her eyes, she saw in the distance that she was evasive, concealed, and secretly came to see off his little brothers.
Wu Rong's mother didn't like his job in the bar the most, and hated Wu and Wu saw that the younger brothers didn't like it either. Originally, Wu Rong just took a week off at the bar, and didn't elaborate on the matter of going back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, the younger brothers spontaneously came to see him off.
The mother who had always been aggressive and tough on the platform clasped her hands tightly, and her eyes were red. The younger brothers were also frowning, smoking in silence.
Don't blame the witch mother for being worried, don't blame the younger brothers for being worried, and don't blame the aunt for being curious.
It is really too dangerous for ordinary people to travel far.
The scenery outside the window changes, the city is left behind, the sky is glowing with faint blue light, there is no polluted color at all, the blue is pure and translucent, it is said that every city has a formation to exorcise ghosts and prevent ghosts. The safe areas of various cities are covered like an eggshell, and ordinary people will never get out of this 'eggshell' throughout their lives, because it is too dangerous for them.
The train whistled and whistled, and the light outside the window suddenly dimmed. As if from daytime to late night, the warm yellow headlights turn on amidst the buzzing sound, and the decorative charms engraved on the car body glow slightly to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. The light from the car body vaguely illuminated the surroundings—the grass was luxuriant, the dead trees were ferocious, the muddy puddles were wriggling, and there seemed to be some terrible monsters hidden underneath.
In the distance, there are dots of will-o'-the-wisps floating in the distance, eerie and eerie, staying far away in the wilderness, as if looking towards the direction of the train. The appearance of these uninfluential ghosts means that the train has left the scope of human civilization and entered the ghost world. area!
It took a very long time from the appearance of the tiankeng, the descending of the ghost domain, to the counterattack of human beings and regaining the lost ground. But until now, half of the land is still shrouded in ghostland. The Asian League is not a complete piece, but divided into many safe areas, safe cities, and each urban area is a large or small ghost area. The special trains between the safe areas are more like extended buses. connected.
The breath carried by the ghost will pollute the surrounding environment and form a ghost realm, just like the starving ghost that Wu Rong encountered that day. But that's nothing compared to the ghost land that the train is driving into now. The ghost domain formed by C-level ghosts can cover a city, the influence of B-level ghosts can spread to a province, and the A-level ghost generals, the legendary S-level ghost kings, can cover an even more terrifying and unimaginable range.
It is said that in the early days of spiritual recovery, a ghost king born in a small European country directly turned the whole country into a ghost domain, and everyone's souls in the country were polluted and became servants of the ghost king.
Of course, there are fewer top ghost kings and ghost generals than giant pandas. Most of them are in the depths of the ghost domain. During the journey from Yangjiaping to Qiandongnan, vehicles will only pass through the periphery of a medium-sized ghost domain formed by fierce ghosts and gathered by four evil ghosts. The resulting small ghost domain is formed, and the most dangerous time is just passing through the center of the ghost domain.
But even with the protection of trains, crossing ghostland is still extremely dangerous for ordinary people. The negative aura in the ghost domain will subtly distort the souls of ordinary people, making them degenerate into ghosts after death, thus increasing the number of ghosts in the world. Therefore, every train is guarded by ghost raisers or celestial masters sent by the public security.
The strong protect the weak, and ordinary people support the capable with all their strength, instead of bullying the weak. This is also the reason why human beings can gain a firm foothold in the spiritual recovery and survive tenaciously.
"Young man, is going there a tourist?"
The aunt came back after chatting for a while, and talked to Wu Rong again: "Nowadays people can go out for a walk. When we were your age, the alliance was not stable yet, and the safe zone was not safe. As soon as the day comes, the black ghosts will come out to kill people, whether they can live or not depends on their lives."
As she spoke, the aunt rolled up her sleeves and exposed her left hand to Wu Rong. The half of her left hand was scorched black, as if something had grabbed it, and all the fingers from the **** to the little finger shrank, only the thumb was normal. The aunt said that she was bitten by a little ghost. Several brothers, sisters and parents in her family died, and she was the youngest, hugging the family's big flowers and hiding under the bed shivering.
"It was the Taoist priest who passed by at that time who saved my life. He was about your age at the time, and he was very powerful. The little ghost lost his soul with a single strike. The Taoist priest said that I was able to survive, thanks to Dahua. "
The aunt touched under the bed, and next to the calico-wrapped luggage was a bamboo basket covered with a layer of cloth.
"Later the big flower was gone, and I put a stick of incense on it."
The aunt picked up the bamboo basket, and something moved inside, and it seemed to be alive.
"Ma'am, why are you still bringing live animals into the car?"
The middle-aged man on the upper bed who was packing his things said curiously, "It's time for the conductor to make an inspection later, you have to hide it well."
"How do you talk, I brought it upright. I wouldn't go out without it!"
The aunt gave the middle-aged man an angry look, and simply ignored him, holding the bamboo basket and continuing to chat with Wu Rong: "Young man, I think you are an honest person, okay, you were taught by those little bastards, what about raising a pen?" It’s not too bad luck for a fairy to raise a dish fairy. Safety is the most important thing when you go out, so keep something for self-defense, here, this is Dahua’s grandson.”
Auntie lifted the indigo cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing the contents inside. I saw a big red-feathered rooster in the bamboo basket. It looks like a chicken at first glance, with a red crest like blood, a sharp hook and a sharp beak, and energetic eyes, like the eyes of an eagle, exuding a sharp energy and a whole body of righteousness.
"This time when I go back to the village, I'm sending little flowers to my distant cousin."
The aunt touched the chicken's head cherishingly, half showing off and half proudly saying: "I think our stockade raised the best chickens in ten miles and eight villages, and even the Taoist priests on Qingcheng Mountain came here to buy them. If it wasn't for scaring away the kid with a loud voice, I wouldn't be able to support the Taoist priest."
From ancient times to the present, the rooster has always been regarded as an animal that can ward off evil spirits. The rooster crows at sunrise, chasing yin and guiding yang. In ancient times, it was called "yang essence". The "Taiping Yulan" of the Song Dynasty wrote that "the rooster crows when the sun comes out, and it feels like a kind".
"Xiao Xiaohua screams when she sees ghosts, tell me, isn't it better to raise chickens than those ghost foxes?"
Wu Rong nodded, what the aunt said really touched his heart. The world is revived spiritually, and ghosts have the upper hand, but they are not invincible. All things have mutual generation and mutual restraint. When one party is strong, the mutually restraining party will also become stronger.
If I keep a rooster and black dog or something like that, maybe there will be a warning in advance when the phone ghost calls.
Wu Rong was moved, and looked at Xiao Xiaohua. What the aunt said was right, the chicken really looked like it had been through the world, feeling Wu Rong's gaze, Xiao Xiaohua turned her head and looked over calmly.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"
"Hey, hey! What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you!"
The aunt was so panicked that she almost didn't hug the bamboo basket. The big rooster in the car screamed like crazy, which attracted other people in the car to look over. The big rooster flapped its wings while screaming. It was so powerful that the bamboo basket came out of the aunt's hand as soon as it was pulled hard. , was rolled backwards like a ball, rolled all the way under the bed. Some splashes of white liquid were left on the ground, and chicken feathers were still stuck, and Xiao Hua was scared out of shit.
The carriage fell into silence for a while, except for the loud scream of the big rooster.
Wu Rong rubbed her ears, feeling upset, and the thought of raising chickens disappeared in an instant. He had never felt that the crowing of a rooster was so harsh and unpleasant, making people feel irritated. Unconsciously, he cast a veiled glance at the aunt under the bed.
The rooster crowed with a trembling ending, and then stopped abruptly.
"Hey, flowers, flowers."
The aunt called out twice in heartache, and murmured: "Why did Hua suddenly call out, no, no, is there a ghost in our carriage?"
The author has something to say: Wu Rong: Who are you talking about :)
Detective Sherlock Holmes Aunt Xiaohua: Scared!
