    Chapter 56 Groom and Bride

    During dinner, Lu Yingjiu told Jingxian what happened in Chu Banyang's place.

    He said, "Chu Banyang said that the Peacock God had two broken dreams. He also told me the exact address. I plan to visit in the next two days."

    Jingxian nodded and said, "Well, there are people in the bar anyway."

    For the next time, it seemed that Ye Feng and Amei were sitting at the bar.

    Lu Yingjiu was very skeptical of the business ability of the two.

    But the bar was already half-dead, and as long as they didn't blow up the bar, it wouldn't get any worse, so it didn't matter.

    "However," Jing Gossip turned his head, "Why did you run over to see that surnamed Chu by yourself!"

    "Isn't he contacting me temporarily?" When Lu Yingjiu heard this tone, he knew that the old vinegar was overturned again, "Why are you targeting him so much, and you usually don't care about Ye Feng and Little Li."

    Jingxian said directly: "Those two people are not competitive at all."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    So sad.

    At the same time, Ye Feng was studying carefully with a glass of wine, sneezed fiercely, and spilled half of the glass on Amei's new skirt.

    Amei paled in shock and punched him in the head.

    Little Li was trembling to report in front of Chu Banyang, and sneezed hard.

    His master reacted quickly and stopped the droplet attack with the document in his hand in time, saying Little Li, copy the book for me tonight.

    "Of course," Jingxian said, "I don't think that Chu person will pose any threat to my status. I really want to say that I don't care at all, and show the magnanimity of the palace, but I'm dying of jealousy, like It's a lemon, like a jar of century-old vinegar that was just unearthed from the ghost world, like the bitter sour you accidentally poured the whole bottle of vinegar into when you were eating dumplings!"

    I don't know how this sentence hit Lu Yingjiu's laughter.

    He was originally holding a piece of meat, but his chopsticks were shaking with laughter.

    After laughing for a long time, he said with a smile: "You shouldn't be called Jingxian, you should be called Jixian."

    "Call it whatever you want." Jing Xian took a sip of soup, "If possible, I would like to hear you call my husband in bed. The more times, the better."

    Lu Yingjiu: ?

    He lightly kicked Jingxian under the table: "How can you turn to the bed on any topic?"

    Jingxian emphasized: "This is my normal demand and legal power! Normal! Legal!"

    "Mmmm, it's normal and legal." Lu Yingjiu perfunctory him, "Old vinegar jar, finish your soup soon, it's getting cold."

    ...

    The day after tomorrow, Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian got on the high-speed train.

    The village Chu Banyang told them was called Lintian Village, and it would only take two or three hours to get to the city closest to the village by high-speed train.

    On the high-speed rail, Jingxian gave full play to the role of the four-dimensional backpack, and all kinds of snacks and fast food were almost endless.

    Before Lu Yingjiu took the high-speed train to pick up the commission, he closed his eyes and rested his mind all the way. He lacks interest in food, let alone high-speed rail meals.

    Jingxian solved this problem perfectly.

    In the first ten minutes, the two of them were sharing a packet of strange-smelling peanuts.

    The passenger next door was calm.

    After the peanuts were finished, they began to divide the pork shop again.

    The neighbor glanced over here.

    After the pork shop had finished eating, it was almost time for dinner. Jingxian took out the nest egg beef rice bowl he made and fed it to Lu Yingjiu, along with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a chocolate dessert after the meal.

    This time, the aroma drifted everywhere, and the eyes of the neighbors were straightened.

    With snacks as company, two or three hours passed in a flash.

    At the station, Lu Yingjiu got off the bus and exited the station, only to see a sea of ​​people outside, many of whom came to pick them up, holding a big sign saying "Welcome xxx".

    Just as Lu Yingjiu wanted to see how to get to Lintian Village by car, Jingxian was ready to start fighting ghosts.

    The two of them stood at the intersection of the exit, waiting for the ghost to bring the car over.

    Lu Yingjiu was originally replying to the news of other ghost exorcists, but suddenly a surprised and uncertain voice came from the side: "Lu, Lu Yingjiu?!"

    Lu Yingjiu looked up and saw a dark, tall fat man looking at him. The fat man had beads of sweat on his forehead, his face full of surprise, so surprised that the flesh was crowded together.

    The face looked familiar.

    And very familiar.

    Lu Yingjiu did a quick search in his mind, but among his fellow ghost exorcists, he couldn't match this character. After a few seconds, he woke up:

    This……

    Isn't this a big dog? !

    After so many years, the chubby playmate when was a child has not changed much, and there is still a unique simple and honest atmosphere in his eyebrows, but he is a bit subtle and cunning——

    Lu Yingjiu didn't know how to describe this sense of contradiction.

    Simple and honest means that as soon as he sees the big dog, he feels that he must be the target group of telephone fraud.

    Cunning means that as soon as he sees the big dog, he thinks that he will commit phone fraud himself.

    Like a split personality.

    In addition to being surprised, Lu Yingjiu was also very happy.

    After all, they haven't seen each other for so many years.

    The big dog, whose real name is Yao Gou, came up with a smile on his face, and said again and again, "Oh, I really didn't expect to meet you here! What! You're here to travel!"

    "No," Lu Yingjiu said, "I have something to do in Lintian Village."

    "Oh, that's not a coincidence!" Yao Gou clapped his hands and looked at Jingxian again, "I just happened to be going there! Let's go together! My car is already packed, and there are just two people missing! You and your friend are together! Get up, I won't charge you any money."

    After he finished speaking, he enthusiastically wanted to take Lu Yingjiu in one direction.

    Just as Lu Yingjiu was about to answer, he suddenly realized that Jingxian, who was beside him, was slightly stiff.

    He reacted for a few seconds before he remembered: Jingxian came to him in the name of a big dog.

    Now, under the odds, the real and fake big dogs have actually met.

    It's amazing too.

    Taking advantage of Yao Gou to greet people, Lu Yingjiu teased: "How is it, how do you feel when you see this deity?"

    "I don't think so." Jing Xian was duplicitous.

    Lu Yingjiu just laughed, stretched out his hand and poked Jingxian.

    Jing Xian grabbed his hand and scratched the inside of his wrist very lightly and quickly.

    Itchy.

    Pretty intriguing.

    Yao Gou was so enthusiastic that Lu Yingjiu just wanted to catch up with him, so he told Jingxian to stop beating ghosts and take Yao Gou's car.

    As a result, as soon as the two of them passed, they saw a tattered van parked on the side of the road.

    The social-looking driver had a streak of yellow hair highlighted and squatted on the side of the road to smoke. There are also two aunts who speak dialects and keep soliciting customers. When they see someone, they want to take them to the van.

    Yao Gou stretched out his hand and pointed, "Come on, let's go up."

    Lu Yingjiu: "...I don't know why, but it gives me the feeling of a black car."

    "Because it's a black car." Yao Gou admitted bluntly, "It took me a long time to find such a cheap one, a talent of 20, come, come up!"

    After he finished speaking, he took the lead in getting into the van, and the whole body was sunk by him, making a very bad "squeak" sound.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Jingxian: "..."

    It seems that there is no way to refuse it now. The two of them got into the car, and they felt like they were on a pirate ship.

    This is an 8-seat van. As soon as got on the bus, Lu Yingjiu smelled a strong instant noodle flavor.

    I saw two men sitting in the last row, sucking the chicken noodles. They were shirtless with blue-black tattoos, fierce faces, large gold chains around their necks, and looked at the three of them with unfriendly eyes.

    Yao Gou was unaware of the subtle atmosphere, glanced at the two, his eyes fixed on the tattoo, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, these two eldest brothers, there is a jargon called 'a tattooed dragon cannot go down the mountain, and a tattooed tiger cannot go down the mountain'. 'Ah! One of you is an over-the-shoulder dragon and the other is a downhill tiger, I'm afraid you can't hold back!"

    The two men were silent.

    After a long time, there was only one person who said maliciously, "I like it."

    Seeing that the atmosphere became stiff, suddenly the car sank again, and it was the yellow-haired driver who got in the car. He smelled of smoke, slammed the door shut, and stepped on the accelerator to set off.

    The van wobbled.

    If Little Li was in the car, he must have vomited two or three rounds earlier.

    Yao Gou thought about it for a while, probably talking about the taboo of tattoos or something. Although his volume was very low, he was only talking to himself, but occasionally he would still be heard by the two big brothers.

    As a result, their faces became worse and worse, the speed of eating noodles became slower and slower, and they frequently looked at Yao Gou.

    Just before one of them wanted to speak, Lu Yingjiu said, "Did you just come here too?"

    His voice was nice and calm, as always.

    Perhaps it was because he was in a prominent position in the past, and most of his words were orders to others. Such an aura made people want to listen carefully to what he said.

    The tense atmosphere has dissipated a lot.

    The big brother hesitated, but in the end he didn't speak.

    "Oh me," Yao Gou's attention was really diverted, "Yes, I heard that something happened in Lintian Village, so I wanted to take a look. Look, I'm still fully armed."

    After he finished speaking, he digged in his bag, took out a few crumpled, pickled-like talisman papers, and showed them to Lu Yingjiu.

    Lu Yingjiu took a closer look and saw that the talisman paper was in a mess like a ghost's talisman.

    Yao Gou's parents knew how to exorcise ghosts, but they were all three-legged cats, and they went out to coax and deceive them into exorcism business.

    The son of a mouse can dig holes, Yao Gouzhen has inherited the three-legged cat skills, and carried forward the spirit of his parents to fool people.

    Lu Yingjiu held a piece of talisman and looked at it for a while, then glanced at Jingxian, thinking that no matter whether it is a real or a fake big dog, the ghost exorcism can be done well.

    However, since Yao Gou said so...

    Lu Yingjiu asked, "What happened to Lintian Village?"

    "Oh that's right," Yao Gou regained his energy when he mentioned this matter, "Decades ago—maybe twenty or thirty years ago, there was a family in the village that couldn't get a wife, and I didn't think about it for a while. Kai, and suddenly they took the road of crime: they decided to buy a woman back to be their son's daughter-in-law."

    "Hey, you said that this feudal ideology is really harmful. No queen? Their family doesn't have the throne, so what are you afraid of?"

    He wiped the sweat with the back of his hand and continued: "I didn't manage it so strictly at that time, I really bought it for them, and watched her all day long and didn't let her escape. That girl was also miserable. Called Di Di Di Ling, escaped several times without success, and finally committed suicide by jumping into a well."

    Lu Yingjiu asked, "So, she turned into a ghost and stayed in the village?"

    "It's almost the same," Yao Gou nodded with narrowed eyes, "A week after she jumped into the well, everyone in that family died."

    "Look at the news reports at the time, it was a farmer who passed by his house and saw blood seeping from the crack of the door and dripping blood on the trees. Even the local dogs that ran out of their house stepped on bloody footprints all the way from the end of the village to the village. Head. He hurried to call the police. Tsk tsk, that scene was too tragic."

    The two big brothers in the back listened while eating, chewing more slowly, and their faces turned pale.

    Yao Gou took out another crumpled newspaper and showed it to Lu Yingjiu.

    Lu Yingjiu took it over and read the report with Jing Xiantou head to head.

    Probably the situation is similar to what Yao Gou said.

    Later, the police followed suit and swept away the group of traffickers. The sentence that should be sentenced and the prisoner who should go to jail were put through. Only then did the matter come to an end.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Since it's all decades ago, why did you think about coming here recently?"

    "Oh, isn't this rumor that there is another rumor in the village recently that the female ghost is back?" Yao Gou replied, "I just wanted to go and have a look, and then, by the way..."

    He smiled until the fat on his face was crowded together, rubbed his fingers, and said in a low voice: "The people in the village are rich, and the price they give is definitely not low. How about it, let me tell you enough? If you have money, we brothers will make it together. "

    Yao Gou chatted for a while about the salary. He happily thought about his life after receiving the money. He suddenly realized something and asked Lu Yingjiu, "Oh, you haven't introduced your friends yet."

    "Oh. His name is Jingxian, and he is an employee of my office." Lu Yingjiu said.

    He secretly poked Jingxian, and Jingxian showed a standard friendly smirk again.

    "Oh, hello, hello." Yao Gou said, "I'm Yao Gou, you can call me anything, most people call me Big Dog."

    Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, Jing Xian knew too much that you were called Big Dog.

    Yao Gou started wrangling again, and vividly described to Lu Yingjiu how he had walked the rivers and lakes over the years.

    Although his ghost exorcism skills are bad, he never stops running the train, often making customers dizzy and paying for it out of nowhere. Now he keeps talking for half a minute, talking about how he fights the willow ghost, how he beat the vixen with three punches, how he fishes and enforces the law, and how he dressed up as a woman for three days to attract the ghost.

    Those stories are simply vivid.

    If Lu Yingjiu hadn't known Yao Gou's true level, he would have been fooled by him.

    ——For example, the two tattooed brothers in the back seat were stunned for a while.

    Over the years, Yao Gou has been running around in various towns and counties, going up whenever he gets a chance, and running when he makes a fortune.

    "A lot of people are simply ungrateful!" Yao Gou scolded, "I worked so hard for them, and in the end they called me a liar!"

    Strictly speaking, Yao Gou is not a liar.

    On the contrary, he is very dedicated every time he does things for customers.

    He's just so fucking stupid that he can't solve the problem if he tries his best.

    Lu Yingjiu listened to his story and half believed it.

    As a result, the elder brother in the back seat spoke instead and asked Yao Gou, "Are you some kind of master?"

    "Hey, you've found the right person!" Yao Gou slapped his thigh, "Exactly!"

    The eldest brother hesitated again and asked: "Is it true that the over-shouldered dragon and the downhill tiger you said are true..."

    "That must be true!" Yao Gou shouted, "There are too many scruples about tattoos. You and I are also destined to meet each other. I will tell you about it carefully. As the saying goes, a tattooed dragon can't go down the shoulders, and a tattooed tiger can't go down the mountain. Guanyin If you close your eyes and don't save the world, Guan Gong will kill you if you open your eyes."

    "Some things are good when he stays there by himself. Do you say Guanyin is not benevolent, do you say Guan Erye is not loyal? That is obviously impossible, but the fate of ordinary people can't be suppressed..."

    For the next half hour, Lu Yingjiu was forced to listen to a series of tattoo lectures by Yao Gou.

    The two eldest brothers were fooled to the ground and repeatedly said that they had met an expert.

    Finally, at Lintian Village, before getting off the bus, Yao Gou charged them 50 yuan each, saying that he would "break the wealth and eliminate disasters" for them.

    After collecting the money, he stuffed a pickle-like safety talisman for the two of them.

    The eldest brother walked away with a thankful heart like a treasure.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    He seemed to know how Yao Gou had gotten in all these years.

    Yao Gou also said that he was looking for a homestay in the village and would recommend it to the two of them.

    With the foreshadowing of the black car, Lu Yingjiu was deeply suspicious.

    But Yao Gou insisted on recommending his choice, and the three of them went to the east of the village.

    The environment of Lintian Village is good. It is also a village. It looks much richer than Yueshan Village in the deep mountains. The buildings are new and beautiful, and the balconies are planted with delicate flowers.

    Several local dogs were lying on the side of the road, staring lazily at them.

    Lu Yingjiu was enjoying the wind while walking.

    It wasn't until he was near the homestay that he heard a series of loud noises.

    A large group of people gathered in a small square.

    A man in black shouted hoarsely: "She ran away? Why did she run away like this, I paid her all the money!"

    Another woman covered her face, her voice sobbing: "She left all the money on the table and said she quit."

    "Then what the fuck is going on now!" the man scolded.

    Yao Gou cleared his throat and walked up: "Hey, hey, everyone! Don't be impatient! What happened?"

    The man took a closer look and asked, "Are you... are you that master?"

    "Exactly." Yao Gou puffed out his stomach proudly, "Didn't I say I would come over today?"

    "Ah, I didn't expect you to come so early!" said the man, "We were doing things according to your idea, but the bride we invited ran away!"

    The villagers next to him gathered in a circle, all whispering and showing concern.

    Yao Gou was talking to the man.

    Lu Yingjiu listened at the side, and finally understood the matter.

    It turned out that the people in the village were worried that the female ghost would come back for revenge, so they looked for help everywhere.

    Yao Gou just took over the job, and gave Jiangshan a message on WeChat, saying that the female ghost was disappointed in love, and said that they should arrange for two young people, one to be the groom and the other to be the bride, and wait for him to come. Ceremony, sure enough.

    After listening to what he said, the people in the village are looking for people everywhere these days.

    But this kind of thing sounds evil, how can anyone easily agree?

    The villagers raised funds and paid a large price to invite a person to pretend to be a bride.

    As a result, the little girl who was the bride was so scared and felt that she couldn't make this money, so she ran away.

    And the person pretending to be the bridegroom is still missing.

    "Master, so what should we do now!" the man asked.

    "No rush," Yao Gou shook his head and said, "I'm not here, there must be a way." He pointed to Lu Yingjiu, "This is also a master, with us here, it's like a combination of two swords.Invincible, the crouching dragon and phoenix is nothing more than that."

    The man's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's great! However, how should the bride and groom's affairs be resolved?"

    "It's easy to say!" Yao Gou was full of confidence, "You give me more money, and I'll be the groom."

    "Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes."

    Yao Gou pointed at Lu Yingjiu and said, "Just let him do it."

    Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

    He was still concentrating on eating melons, but he didn't expect the pot to come from the sky.

    Yao Gou hurriedly said to him in a low voice, "Let's, let's fool around and talk about it, brother, I've wronged you. So, how about two-thirds of the money? Or three-quarters? Oh, I really am. All the money has been spent, in short, it will never make you suffer."

    The man was stunned and asked, "Ah, doesn't the bride want a woman..."

    "They are masters." Yao Gou emphasized again, "Gender is never a problem. It's more than enough to put up a talisman, disguise your identity, and deceive that little ghost."

    The man nodded again and again: "Oh oh yes yes yes."

    Seeing that the matter was resolved, he breathed a sigh of relief.

    Seeing this, Yao Gou clapped his hands again: "Okay, let's settle the matter like this, this Master Lu is pretending to be the bride, and I'm pretending to be the groom..."

    He has a heavy hand.

    It felt like being clamped by iron tongs, as if a little more force would crush his carpal bones. Yao Gou sucked in a breath of cold air and turned his head to look—

    Jing Xian stared at him intently, pouting the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his dark eyes.

    He said: "In this way, I will give you a suggestion, and the groom will let me be the one."

    "Ah," Yao Gou said subconsciously, "That's not good, isn't this a commission I took..."

    Jingxian said, "Have you seen the bridge pier by the sea?"

    "I see." Yao Gou replied.

    "Want to go in?" Jingxian said, "It's very comfortable inside, I promise you won't have to be the bridegroom in your life."

    Yao Gou: "..."

    Yao Gou: "Okay, then this Master Jing is our bridegroom!! Everyone applauds! I wish them a long and happy relationship!"

    There was a wave of applause, everyone was very happy, everyone was satisfied, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces.

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Why was no one asked his opinion from beginning to end! !
