Chapter Thirty-Four: Yin Earth

When I arrived at the farmers' market, I happened to run into the streets and crowds. I finally found a parking space and parked my car before entering the market.

In the past, I rarely went to market places when I went to the city. I didn’t know that there was a large shopping mall here. Yu Xiaoxue took me with me like she took Liu Laolao to the Grand View Garden.

She seemed to enjoy walking with my nose like this now, because she is usually the object of my bullying.

Yu Xiaoxue had no impression of things like clothes. She took me to the second floor of the mall. The clothes she asked about were indeed cheap and cheap, roughly about thirty or forty yuan per piece.

I was afraid that if she bought it, I would be laughed at by Han Shanshan and Zhao Qian, so I pulled her away.

On the first floor of the mall, I bought some cooked dishes and took Yu Xiaoxue to a sports brand store and bought two sets of sportswear, one pink and one blue.

Yu Xiaoxue looked at the bill that was more than 500 yuan, and her eyes were stunned and her words were incomplete. However, she was very satisfied with her new clothes because her sportswear was practical and could run and jump, which was suitable for her.

After satisfying her wish, she took me to the antique street in the market. There were actually not many shops here, but when it was the market day, some people from the village would sell some unusual things.

In the past, someone used to sell the bronze drum. I heard that it was bought for more than 10,000 yuan for someone to buy it, and used it for auction, making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, even if this kind of thing really appears, I can't afford it. I can only pay a few hundred yuan at most. Now, Yu Xiaoxue still has 1,000 yuan, which is richer than me.

And I also have to start worrying about her school tuition fee. After all, her father is gone, and I am half his brother. In addition to solving the problem of livelihood, I also have to be responsible for her education.

"You are a senior high school student, right?" I asked Yu Xiaoxue.

"Brother Tian, ​​I've finished my second year of high school, so I won't stop studying. We have no money and can't go back to Xiaoyitun. I'll work in the county, and I can hold dishes and wash dishes for others." Yu Xiaoxue was a little embarrassed. She asked me about working early, but I didn't agree.

"No, the walls of your house are full of certificates. You have good grades, and it's a waste not to study." I immediately rejected her idea. Her grades must be very good, but the family is too poor and I can't afford to support her. Since she is following me now, I have to support her in school no matter how hard I am.

"I have poor grades, but I am actually ranked more than 40th. The teacher has forced the certificates to make it look good at home, so why don't I read them?" Yu Xiaoxue shook her head.

A family that is so poor that there are only certificates of awards besides sweet potatoes. It is impossible to rely on a sensible child to finish school. It is normal for Yu Xiaoxue to have such an attitude. However, I said, "What is the difference between being over 40 and being the first one? I'll study. I have money. I have been out in the past few years and have earned tens of thousands of dollars, which is enough for you to go to college."

I smiled pretentiously. After hearing this, Yu Xiaoxue stared at me, but was afraid that I would lie to her: "Brother Tian, ​​you lied to me... You have no money at all."

"I have it, why don't you call your aunt?" I said, taking out my cell phone to her, and after finding my mother's phone number, I would dial it. I knew that I didn't dare to listen if I dialed her.

"Then do you really have it? Don't you cheat on Xue?" Yu Xiaoxue looked at me aggrievedly.

"If you don't cheat, why are you lying to you? If it's not enough for your aunt to take care of it, you will just go slowly after you finish college. At that time, you had to spend thousands a month. Now, washing dishes and holding dishes in the county town will be just over 800. When will you have to work?" I advised her and said.

"Brother Tian... Actually, I lied to you. Those certificates are true. I was the second grade last semester. Let me tell you, I was able to win first place, but that day, Xiaobei said that as long as I didn't answer the last question, she would give me fifty. I thought of giving my father two kilograms of rice wine and a plate of roast duck, and then I didn't write that question..."

Yu Xiaoxue took out a piece of 50 yuan rolled into twists and gave it to me: "As a result, Xiaobei gave me money. I thought about it for a long time but didn't dare to use it..."

"Then do you dare next time?" I immediately looked at her with a treacherous face and confiscated the fifty dollars, but I couldn't help but feel sad: Oh, Uncle Yu Gen, I didn't bring anything when I returned to Xiaoyitun this time, so I owed you two kilograms of rice wine and a plate of roast duck for Xue first. In the future, I have the strength to go back and will definitely bring it to you.

"I dare not." Yu Xiaoxue's eyes were red. Although she sometimes did things that were careless, such as digging out sweet potatoes, she was also ignorant and hungry when she was a child.

"That's good. I'll follow your brother Tian. After studying, we can go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, so we don't need that little money." I said with a big chirping.

"Okay! Brother Tian is the best for me!" Yu Xiaoxue was happy. Seeing that the little couple next to her were almost close together, she also ran over and held my hand.

I shook it a few times but didn't get rid of it, so I ignored her. Anyway, there were basically no one in the county who knew me and her, so I didn't care about this image.

But when I was thinking so, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the farthest end of my sight!

"Yidan!" I almost shouted out! I broke free from Yu Xiaoxue's hand and chased after him like flying!

Yu Xiaoxue was stunned. When she saw me chasing her, she also chased her.

As a result, the crowd was too dense. I was afraid that something would happen to Yu Xiaoxue, so I stopped and watched Zhang Yidan disappear from a distance and disappear at the edge of the market.

"Brother Dan? Why?" Yu Xiaoxue asked me in surprise, but she didn't seem to see it.

"It may be wrong, impossible, impossible." I explained to myself, then looked at Yu Xiaoxue and smiled bitterly. Zhang Yidan was obviously dead, but he killed his ghost baby. Now he appeared in broad daylight. How is this possible? The evil ghost was still reasonable in the gloomy woods. In this sea of ​​people, it is absolutely impossible.

It is normal for the county town to have a population of 800,000 and look similar. I sighed. Maybe the memories that brought Yu Xiaoxue to remind me of my friends here.

"Brother, you are going to Antique Street, right there, right? Do you see it?" Yu Xiaoxue said, pointing to the intersection where someone who looked like Zhang Yidan came out.

"Well, I saw it, let's go over." I said, and my already calm heart started to twist and turns again. "Zhang Yidan" went to Antique Street?

I shook my head and turned to the Antique Street with Yu Xiaoxue. That small street is actually an alley, even those who sell chickens, ducks and geese.

I just found a shop with a nice appearance from the boss, and I asked him if he had old yellow paper, good cinnabar and pen.

This kind of old county town will never lack such things, and the boss quickly took out several of them.

I bought these things not because Zhao Qian didn’t, but because I couldn’t use things that others had used, which would affect the accuracy of the casting.

I chose the oldest and most expensive aged cinnabar. This cinnabar costs dozens of dollars per gram. I bought a little more than four hundred dollars. Because of the storage age of old yellow paper, it is not cheap at all, and the special brushes are gone.

After thinking about it, the money and law are true and true. It is not okay to have no money to play with these things. Playing with this is just a life-threatening thing. Can things that are close to your life-threatening are not expensive?

So first, you have to have money, and second, you can see whether your Taoist Dharma is powerful or not. Then you consider fellow Taoist, companion, and practice Taoist temple. After the test of time, you can finally become a generation of Taoist Dharma masters.

"Boss, is there anyone wearing factory clothes just now? A young man in his twenties passed by here or bought something here?" On a whim, I asked the boss about the clothes I just saw Zhang Yidan.

"Oh, you said he, hey, I'm wondering. I said, why are you young people playing with these things recently? That person came to me just now and asked me like you to buy cinnabar and pen, but the pen was bought. I took out the cinnabar and he said it was not suitable. He went to the street stall opposite to buy it. Haha, the things opposite were all made by the boss himself, can it be used?" The boss didn't hide it and pointed to the street stall opposite to the street stall, which meant it was bad.

I immediately ran to the old lady at the street stall and asked her if she had a business with her brother's young man. However, the old lady didn't say a word, looked at the direction where Zhang Yidan disappeared before, pointed at the cinnabar, and stretched out a finger.

I thought about it, if I really didn’t buy her things, I probably couldn’t tell her a cliché from her, so I took out fifty dollars: “Let’s five grams.”

The old woman smiled and stretched out a finger, but she smiled very cunningly. She showed her teeth that were seriously missing, but this was normal, but her tongue was mostly broken! It was a mute, which scared Yu Xiaoxue and I to take two steps back!

The tongue must have been cut off!

"Young man, it's 101 grams!" The boss on the opposite side was frightened when he saw me and kindly reminded me.

I felt that I could not ask anything. The cinnabar was brown and purple. I didn't know how to use it at all, so I pulled Yu Xiaoxue away.

I took the remaining two or three hundred, and felt that I was still missing a soul urn and didn't buy it, so I prepared to go to some antique shops.

The soul urn is an urn, which is specially loaded with dead ashes and bones. However, no matter how exquisitely carved the urns are, they are all scraps. Even if they are made of gold and white jade, it is useless to me. I have to find some pottery urns to replace them. Unfortunately, I have found many antique shops, and the boss told me that they are all handicrafts, such as Han Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and cheap fakes, which are hundreds of.

I felt a chill in my heart and felt that Xijun's home was probably not settled, so I carefully recalled the process of making my grandmother's soul urn. Every time my grandmother made the soul urn, she would go out and find various materials after she came back.

These materials are not very special, just ordinary soil, but they never seemed to let me play with them, saying they were not good for me.

Moreover, she cooks it by herself, but now my cooking conditions are not enough.

Of course, my grandmother is a master. She can find clay to make a soul urn, then carve the seal script and burn it into a soul urn. This kind of ghost raised by the soul urn is also amazing. Can I do it?
