Chapter 116: Elderly Dining
"Awesome ......"
Watching someone ride the wind with their own eyes and hearing about it with their own ears is not the same thing at all. Du Ge's four men were completely overwhelmed by Jiang Luo, their hands reddened, their disbelief shattered by what they had seen, and then they looked at Jiang Luo in ecstasy.
Turns out the masters are all around!
In this weird and dangerous world of mirrors, there is a powerful person as a companion of his side , the sense of security suddenly rises.
Lian Qiang pleasingly came to Jiang Luo side smiling, "Senior brother is senior brother, gossip formation so difficult magic are used easily and casually, worthy of the competition first place, our young people's role model."
"I originally thought that senior brother is only a one-in-a-million talisman master, I didn't realize that senior brother is not only good at talisman, but also outstanding in other things," Lian Bing also came over, and kept bragging about Jiang Luo, blowing Jiang Luo's scalp tingling, "I'll be your loyal junior brother from now on. I'll be your loyal little brother, I'll do whatever you want me to do. Brother - you give me a talisman to protect my life?"
The purpose was revealed, the talisman master's life preservation talisman was something that had a price.
Lian Xue guffawed, "Don't sell yourself short, since Elder Brother said that there are many ghosts and monsters existing in this world, then let's be more careful. The matter of evil ghosts should be investigated, but only if we save our own lives."
Jiang Luo nodded, "Lian Xue is right. I don't have any talismans here, Lian Bing, you work in the back kitchen as a handyman, you can get me some rooster blood and yellow talismans. If you don't have these things to ensure safety, there are still a few ways to exorcise evil spirits, you guys remember that, it can save your life at critical moments."
These words were spoken mainly to the four ordinary people of Du Ge.
"The blood from the middle finger and the tip of the tongue has the most yang energy, bite through it at the critical moment to dump the blood on the ghost. Don't lean against the wall, ghosts like to cling to cold walls, this is easy to attract ghosts ......"
A few moments later, several people walked out of the cave in a low profile, ready to return to their respective posts. Qin Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "The host family we borrowed the room from also followed along with the mirror, he must have come in as well, but how come I don't see him?"
Jiang Luo didn't reply to these words, and as he and Lian Xue walked back, Lian Xue suddenly sighed, "Senior brother, you should also know what the young master of this household is called."
"Uh-huh."
"His name was Chi You," Lian Xue fretted at the mention of the name, "Although our Lian family takes refuge in the mountains and has never seen Chi You, I still know this name. Roughly speaking, he has been dead for almost half a year now, and then he appeared in this world of mirrors. Not only him, but also this Chi family, clearly alluding to the Chi family in reality."
"The look of Chi You in this world is also too similar to the master's family who took us in ...... Do you think that the master's family is the Chi You who has died, and are we the ones who were made to enter the world of mirrors by him?"
"Looking in the mirror at midnight, that's a request made by Duan," Jiang Luo said but disapprovingly, "If it was really Chi You who got us into the world of mirrors, was it just to get us to kill an evil spirit? By the way, when you woke up, the voice that told you that you had to kill the evil ghost to get out, was that the only thing he said to you?"
Lian Xue : "Yes, he only spoke to me."
But the voice spoke many words to Jiang Luo.
In retrospect, the voice was a blur. Jiang Luo couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, old or young. But every word seemed to point to something else.
What Sin Looked Like When It Was Born ......
Jiang Luo could only be sure that it was definitely not Chi You's voice, and definitely not something Chi You would say.
"Elder brother, we ......" Lian Xue saw the person standing in front of her and abruptly lowered her head to silence.
Jiang Luo looked up and saw the teenage boy standing by the bridge smiling and waiting for them.
Today's sky is still dusky, with a slight cold wind. Chi You stood beside the lake with a pale face, his black hair blown by the wind, he looked at Jiang Luo and Lian Xue with a smile on his face, a gentle look.
After realizing that Jiang Luo had seen him, Chi You extended his hand toward him, "Jiang Luo, come over here."
It was clear that he had only just reached adulthood, and the words he uttered were not forced, but the dark eyes gave no room for rejection when they fell upon him.
Jiang Luo stepped forward and looked down at his hand, not really wanting to shake the little kid's hand, "Are you here to see me?"
Chi You smiled and instead took the initiative to shake his hand, leading him to turn away, "The elders of the family want to see you."
This hand belonged to Chi You as a teenager, and it was no different from the hand he had after his death. It was equally devoid of the slightest bit of life, making one wonder if the blood flowing beneath his flesh was inherently cold.
But ...... this is the first time Jiang Luo has actually held hands with Chi You.
Jiang Luo uncomfortably tugged outward, but the force of the hand holding him looked gentle, but it was not appropriate to break free, Chi You instead gripped harder, he smiled back and said, "What's wrong?"
"Good brother," Jiang Luo said with a smile on his face, "Let go."
"Bear with me a little," Chi You smiled apologetically at him, "The elders sent maids and boys to watch us along the way, you've only just been initiated, and if I don't act closer to you, the rest of the eight years will not be easy for you."
Jiang Luo looked at him with a sudden realization, "So, I still have to thank you?"
Chi You said unhurriedly, "You're welcome."
Heh.
Jiang Luo held his hand back and inserted his five fingers into Chi You's five fingers, smilingly saying, "In that case, let's do it more thoroughly."
Chi You froze, looking down at the hands of the two people interlocking their fingers. Jiang Luo had already walked in front of him and tugged on him, looking back sideways with a seemingly teasing smile at the end of his eyes, "Young master, it's time to go."
Chi You was pulled by him for two steps before he came back to his senses, he looked at Jiang Luo's back and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
This Jiang family's young master was unexpectedly interesting.
*
The elders of the Chi family said they wanted to see Jiang Luo, but in fact they were just having dinner with him. No, to say dinner would be an understatement. The elders just looked at Jiang Luo, then ignored him without a second thought, and talked to Chi You the whole time.
Jiang Luo finally realized how many people are in the Chi family. Chi You is the last of the Chi family lineage. Apart from the first lineage, the Chi family has a total of six collateral lineages, and there are four elders in the family, all of whom are elders of Chi You's grandparents' generation.
During the meal, there were eleven or twelve of these elders. During the meal, they didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food at all, but one person with one mouth kept talking at Chi You.
"Now that you're married, you have to take care of the Chi family. Don't do nothing like you did before. We had to wipe your ass when you were a kid, and we're not going to wipe your ass for the rest of your life."
"Since you are the first line, you have to do everything to the best, but don t be as disgraceful as your father ...... Your first line reputation is notorious, and you drag us side lines down."
"Have you forgotten the rules of eating? Don't give him any food. Doesn't he have any hands?"
"The old ancestor is above, eating chewing slowly, you eat so eagerly rushing to reincarnation? Really hungry ghosts to life, how to teach can not change."
"You don't even say a word when I talk to you for half a day, you just know how to eat, what else are you good for?"
Chi You put the dish into Jiang Luo's bowl with an unchanged expression and continued to eat.
Jiang Luo watched him eat, the young man sat upright, his face light. Every move is as elegant as a textbook. Is this still called rushing?
If he was any slower, would this meal take two hours to fill his stomach?
These eleven or twelve mouths never stop talking, and they seem to regard "teaching Chi You a lesson" as a matter of honor, and a word of reprimand to Chi You can give them the pleasure of having the junior lineage overpower the senior lineage. If you say one thing, I'll say two things, Chi You has been singled out for criticism from beginning to end, making it seem like Chi You's life is a waste of air. Jiang Luo was completely ignored by them, but after a meal, he had lost his appetite, and felt himself surrounded by a group of noisy ducks, so noisy that one's sanity was on the verge of exploding.
Jiang Luo sees his father, Jiang Pingcheng, in the elders of the Chi family.
This made him so annoyed that he wanted to lift the table and leave. But now was clearly not the time for him to lose his temper. Jiang Luo maintained a smile on his face and looked down at his rice, but no one could tell that the hostility in his heart was gradually building up.
Finally, all of these people found a sense of fulfillment in suppressing Chi You. They left the table with their heads held high, as if they had won a battle, and as if they had become a full-fledged family.
A table of sumptuous food that hadn't been touched much had gone cold, the aroma twisting into a revolting greasy taste. Chi You turned to Jiang Luo, "Why aren't you eating?"
Jiang Luo glanced at him and said in a long drawn out voice, "No appetite."
He couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to shut those people's mouths, but how on earth did Chi You hold back?
Chi You looked to the table and pointed to a crispy chicken not far from the ground, "You can try this dish, the cook's specialty, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy."
"Forget it," Jiang Luo said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid of which one of you will be sprayed on it."
Chi You burst out laughing as he gently set down his chopsticks and grunted, "That's why I only eat what's in front of me."
Jiang Luo really didn't know how he could still laugh, so he straightened up, "Are you full? If you're full, then go."
Chi You took a hand towel and wiped her hands and lips before she stood up and said, "Let's go."
The meal he had just eaten was lunch, but at midday the sky still looked like the dimness of an evening after the sun had set. The air was cold, Jiang Luo took a deep breath, the cold air entered his mouth, but did not quench the irritation in his heart.
"Got a cigarette?" He asked.
"Smoke?" Chi You looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Luo pulled his lips towards him and smiled, "Cigarettes."
Chi You looked at him steadily for a moment and led him toward the Chi family gate, "I don't have one, but I can take you to get one."
Two people out of the gate, Chi family doorway is sparse. Jiang Luo looked up at the sky, the sky in the world of mirrors was oddly colored, he couldn't see the sky very well, and said with some uncertainty, "Come back and forth as soon as possible, it should be raining soon."
Chi You nodded, and after walking out for a while, he said as if he didn't mean it, "The girl who walked beside you in the morning, look at her look, as if she knows me."
