Chapter 75: New Year's Eve

Because Wu Lao's sentence needs magical instruments, Master Mao and Minister Lou almost used all their relationships to find all the magical instruments that could be found.
But no matter how common their relationship is, in today's end-of-law era, it is still extremely difficult to find good instruments.
Although the magical instrument will not be found for a while, Chen Yu's first new year in the imperial capital arrived first.
Chen Yu wore a red sweater and helped Mayor Chen finish the couplet together, and then went to the kitchen to fight for Chen Mother. As the mayor's wife, Chen Mu doesn't cook much on weekdays, and she doesn't like cooking. But during the New Year every year, Mother Chen always cooks the New Year's Eve dinner by herself.
One is because the aunt nanny went home on holiday, and the other is that during the New Year, Mother Chen hopes that all the things in the family will be taken together by her family.
"Mom, won't you dump the dumplings in this way." Chen Yu asked while packing the delicious dumplings.
"There will be a little bit, but it won't be serious." Mother Chen finished and reminded, "Remember to bring some vinegar too. If you eat dumplings without vinegar, the taste will be worse."
"Oh ..." Chen Yu responded and asked after thinking for a while, "Mom, can my brother eat these things now?"
Chen Yang finally woke up two days before the New Year, and after 24 hours of observation in the intensive care unit, he was finally transferred to the general ward. Although her condition has improved greatly, she still cannot be discharged in a short period of time. Mother Chen is afraid of the Chinese New Year. Her son is alone in the hospital, so she prepared a meal for the New Year ’s Eve and plans to go at noon The hospital accompanies Chen Yang for the New Year.
"Can't eat it." Mother Chen said and packed up the braised pork just made.
"So what are we going to do?" Chen Yu puzzled.
"We eat, your brother can just watch it." Mother Chen said with a smile.
"Mom, are you going to care about my brother or stimulate my brother?" Chen Yu couldn't help but stunned.
"It's just a form, the point is that our family eats New Year's Eve dinner together." Mother Chen finished and looked at the second floor and said, "Why don't you stay at home with Mrs. Wu?"
Mother Chen and Mayor Chen had to go to the hospital to accompany Chen Yang for the New Year, but it was not easy for Wu Lao to accompany him, so the time for New Year's Eve dinner was set at noon. At supper, I have to go home to accompany Wu Wu to have another New Year's Eve dinner. It's just that there are still guests in this family, but the owner's family has left. Mother Chen always feels a little rude.
"It's okay, I told the old man ... Grandpa." Chen Yu changed his mouth under his mother's disapproving gaze. "And ... Grandpa has never been young, and when he was in Ogimura, he had to celebrate New Year every year Take me out. "
"Why do you go out?" Asked Mother Chen curiously.
"Going out to drive ghosts ... uh ... just ... that's it." Chen Yu quickly stopped the topic when she found Chen's body froze instantly.
After the rescue of Chen Yang in the hospital that day, Chen Chen only asked Chen Yu why these techniques, and determined that the technique of saving Chen Yang would not cause any harm to Chen Yu, did not ask more. They didn't ask, and Chen Yu didn't say much, but when he spoke occasionally, he wouldn't avoid it as deliberately as before.
Especially after Mr. Wu came, he occasionally talked about the past, and always mentioned the exorcism. At this time, Chen's father was still calm, but Chen's mother was a little scared. After one or two times, Chen Yu slowly discovered it, and then stopped mentioning it in front of Mother Chen.
Mother Chen packed the last dish and closed the lid of the incubator.
"Mom, give it to me. I took it to the car." Chen Yu said, taking the box in Chen's mother's hand, and turned and ran out.
Mother Chen looked at her daughter's back running happily, a flash of annoyance flashed in her eyes, she annoyed her timidity. It is rare that Shi Shi took the initiative to talk to her about her previous life. How could she be so useless, and she could not control her fear of even hearing it.
After everything was ready, Mayor Chen drove, and the three arrived at the hospital. In the single ward of Chen Yang, the family of four ate a simple and delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, Chen Yang, who had just been awake for a while, had to drink chicken soup.
After eating, Chen Yu helped Chen mother clean up the lunch box on the table, and the family sat and chatted together. Mother Chen is holding a fruit knife to cut apples for several people.
Chen Yu was troublesome, he picked up an apple and licked it and ate it.
"I'll cut it right away." Mother Chen couldn't help saying.
"It's okay." Chen Yu grinned and continued to nibble the apple in his hand.
Chen Yang smiled and couldn't help but asked aloud: "I heard that Wu Lao has come to the emperor?" Chen Yang woke up the day before yesterday. His mental state has not been good for the past two days.
"Huh." Chen Yu nodded.
"Then Shi Shi ... are you okay." Chen Yang asked.
"Me?" Chen Yu blinked doubtfully. "What can I do?"
"If you are okay, old Wu will not come to the imperial capital." Chen Yang said firmly.
Although Chen Yang does not have the memory of his soul when he was away, he knows how he was hurt at the time, and Chen father and mother Chen also told him about Chen Yu's rescue. As a person who has witnessed Chen Yu vs. the ghost king, Chen Yang feels that his conjecture is entirely reasonable.
"It's not ... Grandpa came to the capital, just came over for the New Year. Didn't you always tell me to call him to come to the capital for the New Year?" Chen Yu laughed, trying to fool him over.
"Shi Shi ... Although I have been rescued by you, and now everything is of no help, but at least you have to let us know what happened to you in order to save me." Chen Yang said seriously, "Otherwise, neither my parents nor I can feel at ease."
Chen Yu was stunned and turned his head to look around, only to realize that when he didn't know when, Chen and Chen's mother all looked at themselves worriedly.
"Although ... you have always said that saving Yangyang has no effect on you, but ... such a thing as resurrection, even if we don't understand metaphysics at all, we know that this is an extremely difficult thing." Chen Shi Chang said.
In the past, no matter how they took Chen Yuti to take Wu Lao to the emperor, Chen Yu always said that she could not contact Wu Lao. But when Chen Yu collapsed, Wu Lao rushed to the Imperial Capital the next day without notice.
Such a coincidence, if it was said that the day's actions had no effect on Chen Yu at all, they could not believe it at all. They don't ask much. First, they don't understand things in the metaphysical world. They are afraid that there are taboos in it and they can't say anything to them. The second is that Chen Yu clearly intends to hide, and they are not easy to ask.
But if they didn't ask clearly, they were really worried. Fortunately, the timely arrival of Wu Lao made them feel at ease.
"Before Zhang Ziyang's things, you told me that the cost of changing one's life is very high. Then you save me ..."
"Not the same, not the same, your situation is not the same as Zhang Ziyang's situation." Chen Yu quickly interrupted before Chen Yang finished.
"What's different?" Chen Yang asked.
"Just ..." Chen Yu didn't know how to explain the metaphysical things with the three ordinary people, so he tried to fool around again, "Oh ... I said you don't understand, anyway ... I'm fine. "
The three of the Chen family looked at each other, and finally Father Chen said aloud: "If you really don't want to say, we don't have to know, but ... if something bad happens to you, you must tell we."
"Shi Shi, mom and dad are ordinary people, and don't understand your metaphysics. You don't know how worried we are after you passed out in a coma that day. If Wu Lao came over the next day, we ..." Chen said At this point, the voice couldn't help but choked up. "Mother only hopes you are good. Both you and Yangyang are my children. No one of you can have an accident."
Father Chen cried when he saw his wife talking, and sighed while calming his wife's tears.
"I ... I ..." Chen Yu was sad when she saw her mother crying. "I'm really okay, Mom, don't cry."
Chen Yu was afraid of Mother Chen, so she deliberately concealed it.
The more Chen Yu said that, the more Chen Chen's brain was filled, and the more crying she was sad.
"Oh ... I'm really okay." Chen Yu struggled for a long time, admitting his fate, "Well, I admit that Grandpa really came to the emperor because of me."
Mother Chen immediately stopped crying, and the three looked at Chen Yu together and listened to her seriously.
"When I saved my elder brother, I used a forbidden technique. This forbidden technique would have a certain effect on me, so I would suddenly faint that day. Grandpa felt that I had used the forbidden technique that day. The Emperor came to me and healed me. "Chen Yu simply explained the cause and effect.
"Healed?" Mother Chen still had some doubts.
"Really, if it is not cured, do you think the old man will be in a mood, do you play games in the room all day long?" Chen Yu couldn't help but want to vomit, even grandpa I forgot to shout.
"..." Chen Fu and Chen Mu looked at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes. It turns out that Wu Lao hiding in the room all day is not a symbolic practice, but a game?
"So rest assured, I'm really okay." Chen Yu reiterated again.
"Then you can't mess up in the future." Mother Chen assuredly asked.
"Mom, why do you always say me, why don't you say my brother, if he doesn't take the amulet properly, how come there are so many things?" Chen Yu dumped the pot directly.
That's right, Father Chen and Mother Chen looked back immediately and looked at a certain "culprit".
"Oh ... how do I feel a little pain in my chest, I may need to rest for a while." Chen Yang said spontaneously, lying down, and covered the quilt smoothly.
"..."
When eating New Year ’s Eve dinner in the evening, in order to ease her fear of ghosts, Chen Chen took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Old Wu, I heard Shi Shi said that you have to go out to drive out ghosts in the past New Year? Is there any special reason? Why should you go out to drive out ghosts on New Year's Day?" Chen Mu asked.
"Because there are more ghosts on New Year's Eve than usual," Lao Wu replied.
"Today's ghost ... more than usual?" Mother Chen leaned closer to her husband without trace.
"Yes, ghosts wandering outside tonight are about two or three times as many as usual, and most of them are ghosts." Wu Lao said to himself while sandwiching small fried meat with chopsticks.
Mother Chen shivered and almost scared her chopsticks out of her hands. Mayor Chen was a little unbearable. When she was about to change the subject, Mother Chen asked again.
"Why?" Mother Chen was afraid and curious.
"Because ..." Wu Laozheng was thinking about how to explain in order to show his inscrutable image, a sudden pain came from his foot.
Wu Lao pained his teeth, turned his head to stare at his granddaughter, and asked silently: Why step on me?
Chen Yu ignored him and turned to appease Mother Chen: "Mom, don't listen to grandpa, he deliberately scares you. New Year's Eve is actually a very good day, because New Year's Eve will appear at midnight."
"Really there is a young beast?" Mother Chen was shocked.
"Yes." Chen Yu explained, "The legend says that the Nian Beast is a fierce beast, but it is not. At this time of the year, the Nian Beast will come to the world and then devour all the bad things in the world. For example, anger , Evil spirits, murderous spirits and so on. All bad things. Just because the things he swallowed are all bad things, so the whole body's breath is more scary, and it looks fierce and easy to be misunderstood, but in fact he Is purifying the world. "
"That said, he is not only a beast, but also a beast." Mother Chen heard this explanation for the first time.
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded. "The Year Beast is actually great."
"I know so clearly, I don't hurry to eat, and then quickly go out." Wu Lao "remembers" Chen Yu stepped on his foot, and took the opportunity to knock on the head of Chen Yu with a burst of chestnut.
Chen Yu pained his teeth and grinned back with his hands blocking his head.
But Wu Lao had already turned his head, and he was kindly answering Mother Chen's question.
"Go out? Where are you going?" Asked Chen Chen.
"Go get rid of ghosts." Old Wu said.
Father Chen listened for a long time, and vaguely understood the logic inside: "Is these bad things that Nian Beast will devour, but useful things for Li Gui, so this day Li Gui will be more than usual . And Shi Shi went out to exorcise ghosts, but actually helped the Nian Beast? "
"I finally know where the IQ of this girl came from. Mayor Chen is not a metaphysical scholar. I guessed the relationship in three words. It's great." Wu Lao couldn't help but give a compliment.
"Old Wu passed the prize." Mayor Chen said modestly.
"Is there any danger?" Chen mother couldn't help worrying when she heard that her daughter was going to drive out ghosts.
"Relax, when she was eight years old, I let her go to the ghost on New Year's Eve alone, it will be fine."
Wu Lao's words only fell, and Chen Fu and Chen Mu looked at him with a tangled face.
"Don't just watch me eat, you eat too, this glutinous rice spare ribs is really good." Wu Lao said, and then took a chopstick.
Although reason tells them to respect the old man, what if he really wants to beat someone.
Because of the New Year ’s Eve talk about the New Year Beast, Chen Yuda went out at night to catch ghosts and finally walked back to the main entrance. But instead of hurriedly chasing where the beast might appear last year, she went to Loujia's courtyard first.
"Third Brother." Chen Yu trot all the way to the study on the second floor.
Lou Ming heard Chen Yu's footsteps and put down his book in advance. After the door was slammed open, he smiled and asked, "Why are you not at home today on New Year's Eve?"
"I'm going to drive out ghosts today." Chen Yu replied.
"Exorcise ghosts?" Lou Ming learned some common sense in metaphysical circles around Master Mao when he was a child. After only two seconds, he reacted. Help the Nian Beast to dispel Li Gui and let the Nine Beast devour more hostility. It is said that it will accumulate merit for the Master. "
"Yes, so I'm going to drive out ghosts later." Chen Yu nodded.
"Then did you come to get the Xuan Sha Rune?" Lou Ming said to turn around to get the box containing Xuan Sha Rune on the shelf.
"No, I'm coming ..." Chen Yu said, suddenly bypassing the desk and standing in front of Lou Ming, looking at Lou Ming with words.
"What are you doing here?" Lou Ming wondered.
"Third Brother ... You are so tall." Because standing too close, Chen Yu had to put his head up hard to see what Lou Ming looked like.
Lou Ming grinned: "You only found that I'm tall."
"Third Brother, sit down." Chen Yu pulled Lou Ming's sleeve.
"Ok?"
"Third Brother, you sit down first." Chen Yu dragged Lou Ming again.
Lou Ming couldn't help but smiled and sat on the chair behind him and continued to ask, "Don't Xuan Sha Fu, what are you doing here?"
"I ..." Chen Yu's eyes rolled, and then he kissed Lou Ming's lips in a thunderous manner.
Lou Ming almost jumped up from the chair in shock. He pushed the man away and panicked: "Shi Shi, what are you doing?"
"Absorb the wickedness that overflows from you." Chen Yu's innocent face.
"No, my body's qi is quite stable now, no seal is needed." Lou Ming refused, clutching his beating heart.
"It's not a seal, I want to absorb some of the evil spirits from you, and then I go to find the beast again." Chen Yu said.
"Are you going to take the grievances from me, and then let the Nian Beast gobble up?" Lou Ming asked.
"Huh." Chen Yu nodded.
"It's useless." Lou Ming shook his head and said, "Nian Beast only swallows the uncontrollable evil spirits floating in the air. The evil spirits on me will not be swallowed.
This method has been used by Master Mao a few years ago, but it is a pity that the hostility of the Nian Beast and the Lone Soul Li Gui cannot be swallowed.
"I absorbed it, and the qi was in my body. The qi in my body was superfluous for me, and it was equivalent to no owner. In this case, the young beast might be swallowed." Chen Yu said, "And ... … The anger on your body is already showing signs of instability. I guess I will need my seal in two days. I might as well take this opportunity to relieve you first. "
"Are you there?" Lou Ming looked at himself uncertainly. Was he really unstable?
"Huh." Chen Yu nodded sincerely.
Lou Ming's eyebrows were tangled, his lips tightly squeezed, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"Ah, a year later, the beast will come out. I'm in a hurry." Chen Yu didn't give Lou Ming any chance to respond, and then threw himself up again.
Lou Ming grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly, and the back of his hand burst into blue, expressing his inner tangle and struggle.
After kissing for a while, Chen Yu slowly raised his head and opened his eyes to meet the complex look of Lou Ming.
Lou Ming's guilty conscience, just getting up and hiding, was pressed back by Chen Yu.
"What's wrong?" Lou Ming surprised.
"A little more." Chen Yu immediately bowed his head and kissed him again.
Lou Ming was entangled, guilty, touched, and hesitant. The mixed taste didn't know what to do.
Chen Yu sacrificed so much to save you, how can you return her.
Chen Yu had absorbed enough energy as early as the first kiss, but just when she was separated, she suddenly remembered the morning on the outskirts of the ordinary when she was facing Lou Ming ’s four eyes. That ... was actively occupied by Lou Ming. Cheap kiss.
Chen Yu recalled that day's movements and quietly stuck out his tongue.
Ok? ? Lou Ming's pupils were suddenly large, and the horror was like a soul flying away.
The author has something to say: Chen Fu Chen Mu: Wu Lao, Shi Shi was very well taught by you.
Wu Lao proud face: Of course, she can catch ghosts when she is eight years old, she can catch zombies when she is ten years old, and she can go out alone and catch ghosts when she is fifteen years old and buy me cigarettes.
Father Chen Mother: ... (I really want to call the police)
