18. Farewell, Taihang Mountain Ghost(2/3)
"Senior brother, we..."
Qingqing pursed her lips, she lowered her head, grabbed Chen Qiu's sleeve, and she said:
"Can we..."
"well."
Chen Qiu sighed, and he said in a gentle tone:
"But Suzhou also has Sister Yaoqin, you always talk about. We still have a yard in Suzhou. Master... Master may be waiting for us there..."
Chen Qiu's words were interrupted.
Qingqing raised her head, her big eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't know what to say.
Chen Qiu interrupted her dream.
Let her remember that she is not the little mountain ghost in Taihang Mountains, but Fan Qingqing in Suzhou City. She always has to return to her own world and say goodbye to everything in front of her.
Too cruel.
Chen Qiu pursed his lips, his voice became softer and softer, he said:
"But if you want, we can stay for a few more days."
"No."
Qingqing wiped her tears, she lowered her head and walked towards her room, she said:
"Master is still waiting for us, I'll pack up."
Chen Qiu and Shan Gui watched Qingqing walk into the room. Chen Qiu turned around and looked at the mountain ghost, and the mountain ghost also looked at him.
After a moment, Chen Qiu shrugged and said:
"Don't look at me like this, I don't want to go back to Suzhou. If you can convince Qingqing, I can even leave you here and let you watch her grow up."
"Believe me, I'm willing to do this. She is much safer and happier than following you."
The mountain ghost stood up.
He took a deep breath and said in his signature hoarse voice:
"Take her away. Qingqing does not belong here. This is the world of mountain ghosts. In the world of mountain ghosts, there is only blood and hatred. If she stays here, she will be ruined by me."
"What are you doing!"
Chen Qiu glared at the mountain ghost fiercely, and handed over the Chengying Sword in his hand.
He said:
"Don't think I can't see it. You treat Qingqing as your deceased sister. You bastard, let her treat you as your brother too..."
"In the end, I will become a great villain."
The mountain ghost chuckled.
Chen Qiu is indeed smart, and he can't hide this trick from him.
"Qingqing! Come out!"
Chen Qiu threw down his bag and shouted at Qingqing's room. Soon, Qingqing, who was holding a small bag, walked out with tears in her eyes and walked to her senior brother.
Chen Qiu patted her shoulder.
He said to the mountain ghost in front of him:
"I don't know if you have this kind of custom here. Uh, it seems that there are. Master and Cha Bao are like that... In short, be sworn brothers, you two!"
Qingqing suddenly raised her head, and the mountain ghost also widened her eyes.
Chen Qiu pointed to the hillside covered with grass in front of him, and said:
"Although you are not related by blood, you are more like brothers and sisters than your brothers and sisters. I'm probably crazy. You two have known each other for less than 20 days, and you really have seen a ghost."
He spoke in a bad voice, then looked down at Qingqing, and said:
"What? Don't you want to? Don't you want to let us leave now!"
"willing!"
Qingqing jumped up, and the mountain ghost nodded frequently. Although there was no yellow paper, I don’t know if it was a good day, nor did I know if it was a good day, nor did I have a big rooster to kill. Even the wine was drunk by Chen Qiu last night.
But for the ceremony, it’s enough to have the taste.
The mountain ghost moved out of his table with rough movements, lit three rough candles on the table, placed a coarse porcelain water bowl, facing the sun.
He and Qingqing knelt at the table, and Chen Qiu acted as witnesses.
He recalled the plays in the TV series, and he elongated his voice and said to Shan Gui and Qingqing:
"The Emperor is here, Houtu witnessed, today..."
"Wait, senior brother!"
Qingqing knelt on the ground, raised her head, looked at Chen Qiu, who was expressionless, and cooperated with them to perform, she said dissatisfiedly:
"Aren't you coming?"
"I?"
Chen Qiu said:
"You and I are brothers and sisters. If we become sworn brothers and sisters, what does it look like? If it is spread, people will be laughed at."
"What's there?"
Qingqing pointed at her side fiercely and said:
"Come here quickly!"
The mountain ghost also stroked the Chengying Sword at hand, and he said in a cold tone:
"Who dares to laugh at you? So I asked him to come to Taihang Mountain... I will talk to him well."
"you..."
Chen Qiu was a little amused and crying, but he looked at the bad house not far away, shook his head, walked forward, knelt beside Qingqing, and said:
"This is not going to happen in my hometown. I am a promising young man with higher education. Now I am also doing these tricks of gods and ghosts. I have really been ruined by you."
"If I lose my heart and make a fuss in the future, you will be responsible."
"Senior brother, you are talking strange things again!"
Qingqing snorted, and then said with interest:
"Is the customs in Yanjing so strange?"
"The hometown I mentioned is not Yanjing, uh... forget it, you just think so, it's too troublesome to explain."
Chen Qiu waved his hand, and he looked at the table in front of him, the water bowl that was visiting, and he said:
"Rite or something, just skip it."
He picked up the bowl in front of him, which contained water. He stretched out his fingers and nuzzled his chin at Shan Gui. The latter's wrist moved slightly, and Chen Qiu's fingers were cut into a small gap, and a drop of blood dripped into the water.
Then Qingqing, Shan Gui, repeated the same thing.
Three drops of blood were integrated into the water under the sunlight, making the water turbid.
Chen Qiu looked at the water bowl in front of him with a tangle. He felt that this was unhygienic, but he raised his hand, took a sip of blood, and handed it to Qingqing. Finally, it was Shan Gui.
"From today, Shen Qiu..."
"Fan Qingqing..."
"Gongsun Yu..."
"We and the three of us become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. We do not ask for birth on the same day of the same year, month of the same month, but ask for death on the same day of the same year, month of the same year!"
This ceremony is extremely simple.
After reciting the lyrics, Chen Qiu glanced at the mountain ghost and complained:
"I hope you are a hundred years old guy, I don't want to die early."
"You are!"
The mountain ghost snorted, he helped Qingqing up, looked like a big brother, and said to Chen Qiu:
"Practice martial arts well, don't compete with others casually. Be brave and fierce and live long. If you really encounter troubles that cannot be solved..."
Shan Gui took a deep breath, stroked Qingqing's head with his fingers, and said to Chen Qiu seriously:
"So come to Taihang to find me!"
"You are!"
Chen Qiu opened the Shan Gui's hand in dissatisfaction. He hugged Qingqing's shoulders, which were laughing happily, and said to the Shan Gui:
"Remember, Brother Gongsun... Brother Shangui."
"Now, besides that little hill ghost, you have two more loves. Don't let her down, and don't let us down."
