Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Chen Xiaoluo's tone was flat: "It's not that you are too hungry."
Mu Guan: "?" It is not normal for a ghost who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years to be able to eat, and he is so obedient if he is not given food. He is worthy of being the Chen family.
Mu Guan made up a logic to rationalize the matter, and his intuition told him that it would be better not to continue asking, so he changed the subject.
"Have you found a hotel yet?"
"Yeah," Chen Xiaoluo nodded: "It's been booked in advance."
"Oh," Mu Guan said, "I'm also from Mawu County, I can help if necessary."
"Thank you so much." Chen Xiaoluo showed gratitude: "I am not familiar with the place, so I need a guide."
"You're too polite, hahaha." Mu Guan laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't see.
In fact, Chen Xiaoluo had already thought of several ways for Muguan to go with her, since this person said that he was her uncle's friend, he must know something, and now Muguan recommended himself, which saved her a lot of effort.
"Are you a local?" Su Shen interrupted suddenly.
"Yeah, I'm from the local area." As he spoke, he made a decisive gesture.
Su Shen didn't understand, and thought his hands were cramped, so he comforted him, "It must have been hard work."
"It's okay, I'll do what I can." Mu Guan said cheerfully.
Su Shen nodded, feeling that the politeness was enough, so he went straight to the topic: "Do you have anything delicious here?"
"Hey?"
Chen Xiaoluo patted Su Shen's face with one hand, and pushed her back to her seat: "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Su Shen struggled: "Well, what are you doing! Don't put your hands on my face!" However, Chen Xiaoluo's hands seemed to be welded to death, and he couldn't move them at all: "Chen Xiaoluo!"
Mu Guan didn't understand even more, his head was full of question marks, he didn't understand what this person and ghost were talking about at all, so he just hilariously pretended to cover up.
"You guys have such a good relationship, hahahaha..."
"Hiss!" Chen Xiaoluo withdrew his hand abruptly, glaring at Su Shen: "Are you a dog, you actually bit me?!"
Su Shen finally saved his own face: "That's right, I belong to you! Please be yourself!"
Chen Xiaoluo traveled thousands of miles from Puyu City to Jichuan City, and it only took one hour. From Jichuan City to Mawu Village, it took a full two and a half hours. It is already evening.
"What hotel did you book, I'll take you there." Mu Guan stopped a taxi.
Chen Xiaoluo didn't refuse, and pulled Su Shen, who was looking left and right, into the car.
The taxi was quite old, the seat was flattened, and the cushion had some oil stains that could not be washed off. Su Shen had never seen it before, so he pulled it with his hands curiously.
Chen Xiaoluo said in a low voice: "If someone breaks the deduction, the money will be deducted from your salary and compensated to others."
Su Shen was stunned for a moment: "Can it still be broken?" As he spoke, he unconsciously exerted force on his fingers, and in the next second, the thin fabric was pierced, and his fingertips touched the dry leather of the chair.
Mu Guan: "..."
Su Shen: "..."
Chen Xiaoluo took a deep breath, held it back for a while, and cursed: "You prodigal son."
The driver said it was okay, and took two hundred bills graciously.
When Chen Xiaoluo got off the car, his whole body was numb.
The business district of the small county town is only as small as the city center. Chen Xiaoluo is a person who can’t bear to be wronged. When booking, he chose the best hotel, which happened to be in the business district. Everything you need, Su Shen is very excited.
"Chen Xiaoluo, I want to eat that!" Su Shen pointed to a family of garlic oysters.
Chen Xiaoluo's eyes flickered coldly, and he stretched out his arm to strangle her neck, and his resentment was almost overflowing: "The virgin girl who spreads wealth is ashamed to eat, first exchange the money I owe me!"
"It's too much!"
"Let's go!" Chen Xiaoluo couldn't help but walk around Su Shen towards the hotel.
Mu Guan, who stayed where he was, looked at their backs as if they were integrated into one, and then looked at the grilled squid stall beside him, hesitated for a few seconds, and happily stopped in front of the squid stall.
After a while, I received a call from Chen Xiaoluo, and was told that they were in 308, and when they went up, they would bring two skewers of grilled squid, or a large and spicy one.
Mu Guan bit the bamboo stick and burped.
"Okay, come down from the ceiling."
After finishing the communication, Chen Xiaoluo looked at Su Shen who was standing upside down on the roof of the shed, trying to eat the pillow.
Su Shen raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent tears, which fell down like feathers.
After a while, Mu Guan came, and Su Shen excitedly went to open the door for him to welcome his grilled squid.
Mu Guan tilted his head and saw Chen Xiaoluo sitting behind the desk equipped in the hotel room, smiling at him with his chin resting.
"Want some water?" Chen Xiaoluo put an unopened bottle of mineral water on the outside of the table.
"No need, let's talk about business." Mu Guan bypassed Su Shen and walked towards the desk, pulling up the only stool in the room along the way.
"Are you from Chen Jingling?"
"He is my uncle." Chen Xiaoluo said, "You said you know each other?"
"Yes, he and I are friends. My hometown is Mawu Village, which is the valley of the mountain we saw when we came. When I was young, I was playing and fell off the cliff accidentally. He saved me."
Chen Xiaoluo said: "May I know your current age?"
"I just turned three." Mu Guan smiled embarrassedly: "They all said I looked like twenty, but they didn't believe that I was thirty, and they wouldn't introduce anyone to me."
Looking at Mu Guan's face, Chen Xiaoluo patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't listen to them, stick to your own ideas, how old were you when you met my uncle?"
"It's been too long and I can't remember clearly, it seems to be 13 years old?"
"Well," Chen Xiaoluo nodded thoughtfully.
Su chewed something deeply, and said inarticulately: "Impossible, hasn't your uncle been dead for many years?"
"Who did you listen to, it's impossible!" Without waiting for Chen Xiaoluo to speak, Mu Guan said excitedly: "You can't privately conclude that this person is dead when someone disappears, isn't Chen Jingling your family?"
Chen Xiaoluo said coldly: "Yes, but there is no family who has lost contact for more than ten years."
To be on the safe side, Chen Xiaoluo concealed some information. She is 22 years old this year. Her parents had her for three years after their marriage, and she was held for a year. When Chen Jingling disappeared, her parents didn't even know her. That is to say, Chen Jingling disappeared , at least 30 years.
Mu Guan scratched his head: "He has a reason, he didn't disappear on purpose."
"Why don't you even write a letter to keep you safe?"
"He couldn't come out, but it really wasn't on purpose. He didn't die. He taught me my ghost exorcism." Mu Guan defended Chen Jingling, thought for a while, and added: "I also wanted to contact him for him. You guys, he said that this kind of thing goes with the flow, someone will always come, if it doesn’t come, it’s not the time, he’s been waiting for so many years, it’s okay to wait, plus I don’t know your contact information, that’s all Keep procrastinating, thank you for coming!"
"Why can't he come out? Did something happen?" Chen Xiaoluo asked.
"This..." Mu Guan was a little tangled, he hesitated for a long time, and said: "You will know when you go, I can't tell you this, anyway, he is really alive!"
"That's great, my grandma and uncle miss him a lot."
"Huh?" Mu Guan was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xiaoluo asked: "What's wrong?"
"You are also his family, don't you miss him?"
"I don't have any memory of him. I only know from my family that I have a very powerful uncle."
"That's it," Mu Guan nodded: "Then forgive you for now, you will definitely like him after you meet him, he is a very good person."
What a Du Wei speech!
Chen Xiaoluo didn't answer, but nodded in agreement.
"When are we going? Tomorrow morning?" Chen Xiaoluo asked.
"Okay, then I'll come to you tomorrow morning." Mu Guan said, "That's right, you haven't finished your meal yet, I recommend our pan-fried buns..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiaoluo tightly covered his mouth.
Mu Guan was startled, his eyes widened in horror.
"Sauce fried buns?" It was still too late, and when Su Shen heard the key words, he stiffened as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Tsk," Chen Xiaoluo rolled his eyes, let go of Mu Guan, with a look of unlovable love: "Why do you say you have nothing to eat, don't you know that there is a rice bucket in the room that can't be filled?"
"...I wonder if you haven't had dinner yet."
"Is it pan-fried buns? Is it delicious?" Su Shen's black eyes sparkled with excitement, and he stared at Mu Guan without blinking. If Mu Guan didn't make it clear, he ate him. Stance.
A big drop of cold sweat dripped from Mu Guan's forehead: "Um...it's not bad, it tastes like ordinary steamed stuffed buns."
"Really?" Su Shen couldn't believe it: "Then why is it called Shengjian?"
"Because it was raw when it was wrapped," Chen Xiaoluo said, motioning Mu Guan to leave quickly, unscrewed a bottle of black tea and stuffed it into Su Shen's hand: "Try this."
Su Shen subconsciously took a sip, frowned and said, "It tastes weird, like tea, but it's so sweet, I'm not used to it."
"And what about the food you're not used to?" Chen Xiaoluo was startled.
Mu Guan gestured to Chen Xiaoluo, and sneaked away while they were talking.
"I don't like it." Su Shen wrinkled his nose and returned the black tea to Chen Xiaoluo.
Chen Xiaoluo took it, and took a sip very naturally: "It's not over for the tasting period."
Then I found that there was grilled squid sauce on the bottle, and I suddenly became a clean freak, frowned, and said in disgust: "You wash your hands after eating, it's so dirty."
"No way, it's obviously the smell of food, it's very fragrant, you smell it—"
"Don't come here! It's all dirty with oil!"
Su Shen snorted: "It's not the time for you to lose your temper because you want to eat barbecue and can't get it because you actually despise food." While speaking, she took the last bite, aimed at the trash can, and threw the bamboo stick towards it, making a precise hit.
"I don't hate food, I just hate you...don't lick your fingers, wash your hands!"
Chen Xiaoluo picked up Su Shen and dragged him into the bathroom.
Su Shen commented on the shower gel that Chen Xiaoluo squeezed into her hand: "It's sticky, so disgusting."
"You are the least qualified person to say such a thing."
Su Shen is a ghost who came out of the tomb, and she has stayed in the ancient tomb for thousands of years, so it is inevitable that her body temperature is consistent with the temperature in the tomb. After a while, Chen Xiaoluo washed her hands, the water sprayed from the faucet, touching the skin, it was far less cold than Su Shen's body temperature under his hands.
For a moment, Chen Xiaoluo had the idea of using Su Shen to make iced watermelon.
"No, you smell so bad." After washing her hands, Chen Xiaoluo wrinkled her nose, feeling the smell of grilled squid could not go away.
Su Shen said, "It must be something wrong with your nose."
Chen Xiaoluo glanced at the bathtub next to him: "Take a bath, I don't want to sleep with a grilled squid, I will suffer from insomnia, insomnia will cause a headache, and if I have a headache, you will also have a headache."
Su Shen scratched his hair with water-stained hands: "It's so troublesome, why are you so delicate."
"I'm a human being, and I'm not a dead person. It's not normal if I don't rest well and feel uncomfortable."
"All right," Su Shen said, "Then you go out."
"Remember to use shower gel." Chen Xiaoluo reminded worriedly.
There is no other reason, the shower gel is smelly.
Chen Xiaoluo closed the curtains, turned around and sat on the head of the bed, bent one leg, turned on the TV, selected a channel at random, and turned the volume up to cover the sound of water in the bathroom, then ordered takeaway with her mobile phone.
Slowly sliding her fingertips on the screen of the mobile phone, there were various takeaway meals under her hands. She flipped through them casually, a little absent-minded.
The person I met today has a problem, the time of appearance, the attitude towards her and the series of things that happened seem to be logical, but in fact there is a subtle coincidence. I can’t tell what’s wrong, but I feel that there is something wrong. Neither is right.
Furthermore, Mu Guan seems to be Chen Jingling's solo pusher, who is only 30 years old, has a personality of a young man in his twenties, but looks like a [-]-year-old.
Chen Xiaoluo, the intelligence network of the Chen family, is still very trustworthy, and it is impossible to make mistakes. In addition, Chen Jingling's special status, he was the next designated heir at that time, and he was more cautious in dealing with him, and the chance of misjudgment was very small. But Mu Guan said that Chen Jingling was still alive.
Chen Xiaoluo frowned slightly, and went through the Chen family's rivals one by one in his mind, and eliminated them one by one.
She didn't believe that any desperate person would dare to make trouble at this juncture, especially with Chen Jingling's matter.
...possibly an insider?Uncle Chen Song's news leaked?
Rubbing her chin, Chen Xiaoluo happily decided to inform her grandma about this matter.
Just as she was about to cut the interface, a wet, white hand stretched out from the side and tapped the screen: "This looks delicious."
Chen Xiaoluo was taken aback, and turned his head subconsciously. Sure enough, there was a soaked Su Shen lying beside him. He just came out of the bathroom without even a bath towel, which blinded Chen Xiaoluo.
She was stunned for a moment, then sat up quickly, grabbed the quilt beside her and quickly covered Su Shen.
"Ahh!" Su Shen's slightly dull voice came from under the quilt: "You are sick! What are you doing!"
"Can't you put on a dress when you come out?"
"There is no one else!" Su Shen threw off the quilt, and Chen Xiaoluo immediately turned around.
Chen Xiaoluo said: "Aren't I someone else?"
Su Shen's faint voice came from behind: "Excuse me, where are you alone?"
From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of bright red and knew that Su Shen had changed his clothes. Chen Xiaoluo heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, took half a step back and sat down on the sofa.
"You ancients are not girls who don't leave the house until they get married. Why are you so unrestrained."
"I'm a ghost!" Su Shen said, raising his arms and making a Popeye gesture: "Are you going to order takeaway just now? Can you order me another skewer of grilled squid? That squid is delicious. "
Chen Xiaoluo: "I know how to eat all day long."
"I'm still growing."
Chen Xiaoluo was taken aback for a moment, then looked Su Shen up and down: "How do you look?"
"Well, that word is... physical fitness?" Su Shen tilted his head: "I feel that I am more and more resistant to falls. If you visit my aunt again, maybe your stomach won't hurt so much."
"When did it start?"
"what?"
Chen Xiaoluo sighed: "I said when did your physical fitness start to increase."
"Eating food will increase it, but it seems that it only increased cultivation before." Su Shen imitated Chen Xiaoluo, frowning in thought.
Chen Xiaoluo was quicker than she thought: "So you increase your cultivation when eating ghosts, and increase your physical fitness when eating human food?"
Su Shen blinked, and then suddenly realized after being stunned for two seconds: "So that's how it is!"
Chen Xiaoluo was so stupid that she couldn't bear to look directly at her and covered her face: "Why is this so? Isn't this your own body?"
Su Shen retorted loudly: "I have that feeling, do you understand the feeling? Do I have to know the nouns?"
"Okay," Chen Xiaoluo didn't bother to argue with her: "Then let's test it."
"How to test."
Chen Xiaoluo thought for a while, and drew a spell with the banknotes provided by several points: "Come and try?"
Su Shen took a big step back and looked at Chen Xiaoluo vigilantly: "You're going to kill me."
"This is not a special talisman, nor is it cinnabar. Besides, I am not a professional talisman drawer. Do you think this is worthy of my 3000 years of cultivation?"
Su Shen said: "Don't try to lie to me, I can feel it, and there are waves of your spiritual power on it."
"Just a little bit," Chen Xiaoluo said, "It doesn't hurt, it's like being bitten by a mosquito. Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito before?"
"I'm already a ghost, why should I still be bitten by mosquitoes?!"
"Don't talk nonsense, come here!" Chen Xiaoluo couldn't wait, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Su Shen's arm, pulling her into his arms.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
The talisman touched Su Shen's skin and dissipated in a wisp of green smoke.
There was a slight tingling sensation in the arm.
After remembering the pain, Chen Xiaoluo let go of Su Shen, and Su Shen rushed out like a rabbit, huddled at the farthest bedside, and bared her teeth.
"Okay, okay, I also hurt, eat squid, right? Two more skewers?"
"......Um."
Chen Xiaoluo nodded, and ordered two skewers of grilled squid for Su Shen, and some fruit for himself.
If Su Shen’s food really had this effect, she wouldn’t mind feeding him three meals a day. After all, adding armor to Su Shen also added armor to himself in a sense. She and Su Shen share the senses. In terms of dealing with herself, Chen Xiaoluo was willing to spend money.
"Okay, let's watch TV for a while." Chen Xiaoluo threw the remote control to Su Shen.
After Su Shen confirmed that Chen Xiaoluo would not suddenly post any messy things to her, he moved to the middle of the bed and studied the remote control.
She pressed the button that was pleasing to the eye a few times, and quickly found the switch button, found a cartoon for herself, and watched it with relish.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Su Shen reacted faster than Chen Xiaoluo.
The two takeaways were delivered together, and Su Shen handed the fruit to Chen Xiaoluo.
Chen Xiaoluo said: "Don't eat on the bed."
"Understood." Su Shen pouted.
Due to the proximity, the takeaway was still hot when it was delivered. Su Shen took out one, took a bite eagerly, and said, "Why is it different?"
"It's not a family." Chen Xiaoluo didn't care.
"No, this squid is not authentic."
It made Chen Xiaoluo amused: "You know if it's authentic or not after eating it once?"
"No," Su Shen said, "The squid that Muguan gave me doesn't taste like that, that one has a burnt wood smell, which is quite fragrant, but this doesn't have it."
"Grilled squid that smells like burnt wood?" Chen Xiaoluo said, "Maybe it's a new taste, it's not from a family. I'll try yours."
"I can only take one bite." Su Shen was reluctant to part.
In exchange, Chen Xiaoluo rolled her eyes: "Tsk."
She chewed and tasted the squid with her mouth in her mouth: "This is not normal, that's what squid tastes like."
"Ah..." Su Shen was a little disappointed.
"Maybe it's a new variety. You work hard tomorrow and I'll buy you another bunch before you leave."
Su Shen thought for a while, and said, "That's fine." So he happily gnawed on his own squid.
The fact that the taste is different is just an episode, and no one cares.
Chen Xiaoluo has recently rolled Su Shen into a roll with a quilt and hugged her to sleep. There is no other reason. Su Shen is too noisy and lacks self-control. If Su Shen is left alone, she will be bound and dragged to the ground in the middle of the night , or directly dragged to the wall and then fell down, not to mention the bruises and swollen face, fell once and could not fall asleep again, opened eyes until dawn, the whole person was in a trance the next day, it was terrible.
But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Chen Xiaoluo fell out again after a long absence.
