The two looked at each other in the setting sun, and the sun fell into the man's dark eyes, sprinkled with heavy gold. He still had a faint expression, as if he just said the usual words like "the weather is fine today".
This guy wasn't mocking him on purpose, Qi Yin was convinced that this person might have something wrong with his mind.
"I don't mention kissing anymore." Qi Yin said.
There was doubt in Fu Lan's eyes.
"Didn't you see? She just kissed her boss," Qi Yin said helplessly, "She has already married her boss to be an aunt."
Fu Lan looked at the pharmacy, where the old boss was sitting at the counter to settle accounts, his index finger tapped his tongue, flipping through the account book side by side, with blue veins running across the back of his bony hand.
This is an old mortal, the spirit is gradually declining, and he will soon enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"Her husband is very weak," Fu Lan said indifferently, "It can be robbed."
Qi Yin was startled and looked at the man in astonishment. The guy still looked at him quietly, his big eyes were evenly black, like a piece of clear glass. Qi Yin suddenly realized that his eyes had never changed, people, animals, plants and trees were all the same in his eyes, as if everything was the same.
Qi Yin was suddenly curious, what kind of father and mother can raise such a... stupid child.
"What does your family do for a living?" Qi Yin asked, "Where's your mother-in-law, you brought the cat to find your daughter-in-law alone, why didn't your mother-in-law come with you?"
"No father, no mother," he replied.
With just a few words, Fu Lan didn't show any more expressions, but Qi Yin could hear a deep sadness.
Unexpectedly, they are clearly strangers, but they are sympathetic to each other.
"Ah..." Qi Yin sighed heavily, pulled up Fu Lan's wrist, and put a purse in his palm, "Here is one or two pieces of silver, which I saved myself, not much, you can use it Don't look for your daughter-in-law, so you can find a decent life and support yourself and your kittens. When you have some savings, you can find a daughter-in-law. Don't worry, men are not afraid of getting old. "
Fu Lan looked at him blankly.
"When life is alive, it's not easy for anyone, just grit your teeth and get over it, don't go the wrong way. Do you know?"
After Qi Yin finished speaking, he patted his shoulder and turned away. He looked down at his slender shadow in the setting sun, a swarthy strip, with drooping shoulders and hanging head, like a homeless ghost. He suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, obviously he couldn't take care of himself, and he had to comfort others.
He spent a day wandering outside today, doing nothing, and when he got home later, he wondered if his aunt would scold him for losing money again. No, she is now relying on his identity to send Yao Xiaoshan to Xianshan, and she will probably be a little better to him.
The front of his shirt was suddenly pulled, and he turned his head, the guy was pulling the corner of his front.
"Why?" he asked.
"Are your eggs still there?"
"..." Qi Yin was stunned by this guy's sudden question, and unconsciously looked down at himself, does he look like a eunuch
"Both are here, what do you want?" Qi Yin twitched the corners of his mouth.
two? Fu Lan was a little surprised, it was the same one before. He didn't care, only said: "Throw it away as soon as possible, it is very dangerous, be careful."
Are you sick? Qi Yin looked at Fu Lan with the eyes of a lunatic, but Fu Lan didn't realize anything, holding the cat in one hand and the umbrella in the other, turned his back and walked slowly away. Qi Yin wondered, he had two eggs so precious, why should they throw them away? It's dangerous... Wait, he suddenly realized, could it be that stone egg
That guy... how did he know he had a stone egg
Qi Yin was startled and chased out in panic, but there were only pedestrians coming and going in the streets on all sides, the setting sun shone on the green brick floor, and the slippery moss was glowing with light gold. The man just disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
When I got home, I went straight to the attic. I dragged the cage out from under the bed and opened it. There were already several cracks on the stone egg, and it seemed that it would shatter in the next moment. Qi Yin was in shock and didn't dare to touch it with his hands, so he closed the cage again tightly.
Very dangerous, could it be a monster
From the bottom of the attic came the sound of my aunt hooting and stomping her feet loudly. The whole house reverberated with her high-pitched tone. He spent thirteen years in such noise. Opening the window, the old lady of the Yao family was dozing in the drunkard's chair in the backyard. The dusky sunset climbed up to her knees and patrolled her dry fingers. He closed the window, the setting sun was isolated from the outside, and there was only him in the gloomy attic, and the monster egg that was about to come out.
——
Auntie stood in front of the Eight Immortals table and watched Xiaoyuan dishes on the ground, and the old lady took a seat with a Buddhist bead, her eyelids drooping, and she was calm like a god. The aunt unconsciously glanced in the direction of the attic again. Qi Yin didn't go home at noon, and she had to go back at night. She had made a rule at home for a long time. She didn't leave the door at night. This child is cowardly and has never committed a ban.
She turned to the threshold while swinging the silk fan, and stuck her head out to look at the attic. The doors and windows were silent, and there was still no movement at all. When the dishes were ready, Yao Xiaoshan and his aunt came, only Qi Yin was left.
She became more and more impatient and wanted to go upstairs to have a look. The old lady put the table and chopsticks heavily on the table and shouted, "Come back, eat!"
The aunt shrank her foot when she stepped out, and walked back reluctantly. Just after helping the old lady pour the soup, the light at the door dimmed, Qi Yin walked in with a small box, put it on the table, and said to the aunt: "Little aunt, this is the unicorn egg that my cousin asked me to help him hide. Last time he asked me to help him hide the spell, and it turned out a bunch of toads, this time I don't dare, I'll leave it to you."
"Qi Yin, you betrayed me!" Yao Xiaoshan shouted loudly.
The aunt gave him a stern look and said, "What are you doing in the West Market again? It must have cost a lot of money to return the unicorn egg. Even if there is gold and silver at home, it is not enough for you to toss! I will search again in a while. Your house, throw away all your fooling stuff!" She took the box and handed it to Madoka, "Go, put it in my house."
Yao Xiaoshan was indignant and threw his chopsticks in a fit of anger. Xiaoyuan walked away with the box, Qi Yin sat at the table with her eyes down, her aunt smiled at him and picked up his bowl to serve him the meal, "Xiao Yin, you are still sensible, don't follow your brother. Come, Eat, young people eat a lot, eat more."
Seeing Qi Yin opened her mouth to eat, she felt relieved. There is enough food in the meal, enough to stun a cow. Everything is ready, I only owe the eighteen Liuli sons on Qi Yin's wrist. The aunt lowered her head, took a sip of the soup, and looked at the child again unconsciously, sitting in the far corner with her head lowered, her broken hair blocking her eyes.
This child looks like his father, he is not ugly, he can be called handsome, but he often hangs his head down behind the crowd, can't see his face, like the shadow of others. His outline is very deep, as if carved with a knife and a brush, and the eyebrows are sharp, in the shape of a blade. When he laughs, he is very energetic, but when he is not smiling, he is hard and cold, and seems to be far away from people.
He has such an unpleasant temperament. In fact, she had hugged him when he was just born, a small one, wrapped in a swaddle, with a wrinkled face crying and crying all the time, but smiled when she saw her. She did like him, at least until he came to live with her. The two sisters have been inseparable since childhood, and of course she loves her sister's children.
But he shouldn't come to her house, he should be dragged away by the water ghost like his mother. In this way, her love for him can continue to this day, and every time it is their mother's death anniversary, she will not hesitate to spend money to do things.
She thought she deserved him for pulling him so big, so tall. As long as her son goes to Xianshan, she doesn't mind giving him more money to marry a wishful daughter-in-law. Cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal is a blessing that ordinary people never dare to imagine in their entire lives. She thought that those immortals were standing high in the clouds, and looking at them must be like looking at gray dust. From now on, her son will be able to stand so high, the soles of his feet are spotless, and his life span will be thousands of years.
Qi Yin finished eating and went back to the house. She sat at the door shaking a silk fan, quietly waiting for the dark. The moon rose slowly, a full circle, white and bright, as if to indicate the reunion of the whole world. She took Xiao Yuan to the old lady, and quietly went up to the attic. The screen was opened in a corner, the room was dark, and a shadow was dimmed on the wooden bed.
She pushed open the door and crept in. Qi Yin closed his eyes, his eyes were serene in the dark, ignorant of everything. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and removed the Liuli Shibazi from his wrist resting on the edge of the bed. It was the only thing his parents left him, and she suddenly felt guilty.
Don't blame me, I'm worthy of you. She said in her heart, tiptoed out the door, and locked the doors and windows. Returning to the upper room, lying on the top of the beauty, looking down at the Liuli Shiba in his hand, he let out a deep breath. The first time I did this kind of thing, my heart was beating like a rabbit. Her husband grinned and brought a face-lifting soup, "It's still my wife who is very good. It's hard work. Drink soup and drink soup."
She squinted at him and gave a cold snort, quite conceited, so she lowered her head and drank the bowl of soup.
In the darkness of the attic, Qi Yin opened her eyes.
