Chapter 37: A Newborn Calf Is Not Afraid of Tigers
What hurt Nan Yi the most was that he couldn't remember the process or the faces of all the people in the process, only the way the girl died, closed the lid, and was buried in the ground.
It is said that this is an evil spell from Southeast Asia. Because children are ignorant, the ghosts they turn into after their tragic deaths are very vicious.
Therefore, in order to prevent the ghosts of these children from returning to the world after death and taking revenge on people indiscriminately, they will put the child's body into a round urn, block his seven orifices, pour black dog blood, and put
Dog teeth, cinnabar, moxibustion and other items that can help drive away evil spirits and dispel spirits.
After a person dies, the three souls and seven souls will slowly seep out from the seven orifices. However, because the child's seven orifices are sealed, these three souls and seven souls will not be able to be extracted from the human body. Finally, after 7749 days, they will
Be driven away by these apotropaic items.
After that, people only need to dig out the child's body from the ground and burn it to ashes. The ceremony is complete, and the child's soul will be annihilated forever and will no longer exist.
"You want to know what these spells are used for?" Nan Yi asked Lu Xingyao in front of him, only to realize that his voice was a little more choked up.
Lu Xingyao said disapprovingly: "I'm just curious. Is there such a technique? I want to use it on Yan Zejun and Zheng Youmei, a pair of bad guys! Let them die and don't disgust me together!"
Nan Yi "..."
As the saying goes: It is better to offend villains than women, this statement is really well-founded.
After Lu Xingyao threw away the garbage, he returned to the kitchen and found that everyone had gathered in the kitchen, including his grandmother, Mrs. Lu.
Lu Xingyao "?"
Is this the legendary way of finding a place without any effort at all?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have had to go out of her way to look for her in the nursing home by throwing away the trash! She came to her door by herself!
Fortunately, she was frightened by the terrifying skull-headed God of Death just now and almost fell down the stairs. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
Lu Xingyao stared at Mrs. Lu's face with half anger and half unwillingness, which frightened everyone on the side.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but even a vvip dares to stare at death!
Sister Mei hurriedly pulled her over and reminded her enthusiastically: "Hey, Xiao Luo, you are finally back! Our Mrs. Lu heard that the food you cooked was very suitable for that person, so we came here to take a look at it.
."
Lu Xingyao replied with a cold face: "Oh, you've seen it too, you can go."
Sister Mei "?"
Dean Lu also said "?"
Both of them had a moment where they suspected that something was wrong with their ears.
Mrs. Lu seemed to be surprised for a while by the girl's stubborn temper. However, after all, she was used to seeing big scenes. After a while, she adjusted her expression and showed a friendly smile.
"You are indeed someone who can satisfy him. He has character. No wonder he likes your cooking."
"Thank you!" After Lu Xingyao said this, he went to the sink to wash his hands without even giving Mrs. Lu a straight face.
With such a cold and arrogant response, Dean Lu blushed with embarrassment. He could only justify himself and bowed to Mrs. Lu and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, this girl just went out and she must have encountered something unpleasant. Young people nowadays
People are like this, they can't hide their happiness or unhappy. I hope you, the grown-up, have enough money and don't worry about it with a child!"
Mrs. Lu was about to respond when Lu Xingyao, who was washing her hands in the sink, interrupted: "Dean Lu, it's wrong for you to talk like that. By saying this, doesn't it mean that Mrs. Lu is a small amount and wants to have sex with me?
Is this little kid fussy?"
Dean Lu said aggrievedly: "How can I?!"
"Then why are you embarrassed?"
"..." Dean Lu reasonably suspects that this girl is seeking revenge because she made things difficult for her when she applied for the job!
The atmosphere in the kitchen was awkward for a while.
In the end, it was Mrs. Lu's dry laughter that eased the atmosphere, "Hahaha, you are indeed a rising star, different from others. Then, our little Ji, I'll leave it to you."
"Xiaoji?" Lu Xingyao frowned when he heard the name, "Who is he to you?"
Dean Lu and Sister Mei were both ashamed. They were really tortured to death by this girl. How could she dare to say anything and ask anything with her mouth?! She was not like this when she applied for the job...
Dean Lu even glared at Sister Mei, who had always spoken kindly to her before, and Sister Mei pursed her lips in grievance.
Fortunately, Lu Xingyao understands Mrs. Lu's character. She doesn't dare to lose her temper easily when it comes to people who are useful to her. For example, Lu Xingyao is one of the people who is useful to her now.
Therefore, when faced with her question, she just said lightly: "You are quite gossipy."
Lu Xingyao defended himself: "This is not a matter of gossip. As chefs, if we want to make food that others like to eat, we have to understand the background of the guests as much as possible. Guests from abroad like light food.
, and those who are closer to the south, they like heavy-tongued ones. I am just trying to get to know my guests briefly."
She said it so clearly, as if it was true.
Dean Lu and Sister Mei couldn't help but flip through her application form to see if she had a professional chef qualification.
But it shouldn’t be. If she were a professional chef, what would be the dark cuisine in the first place???
Mrs. Lu listened and accepted her explanation, so she answered her sincerely.
"He is a friend of mine and a confidant. We have known each other for many years and are like family. He is now helpless and has nowhere to go. He also suffers from depression and will unconsciously hurt himself when the disease occurs.
.Not eating is one of the symptoms of him hurting himself. So I hope you can let him eat at least a full bowl of rice every day and stop giving up on himself."
Lu Xingyao "?", co-author Is she here to cook chicken soup for the soul?!
However, grandma never revealed her relationship with the other party from beginning to end!
"That's it! Dean Lu, I'll leave this to you first. I'll go back first." After Mrs. Lu finished speaking to Lu Xingyao, she dragged her tired body and said something to Dean Lu.
She left the kitchen with her loyal security uncle.
Lu Xingyao thought about it and finally gave chase.
"Mrs. Lu!" Just as she was about to catch up with Mrs. Lu, the security guard behind her suddenly took action and blocked her way.
This scene is so familiar.
That day, when she asked Lu Kangcheng, his driver stopped her in the same way. However, although the answer she asked was what she wanted, it was not sincere.
It seems that now is not the time to ask! She may need to have a better relationship with her grandma.
Mrs. Lu turned around in response and looked at her who was chasing her all the way.
This may be her last chance to confess!
She suddenly became frightened and quickly changed what she was going to say, "Old madam, I promise you, I will take good care of Mr. Xiaoji."
The corners of Mrs. Lu's fine-lined mouth were slightly raised.
At that moment, the sun shone on her body, and Lu Xingyao seemed to see the golden air surrounding her body.
*
In the following days, Lu Xingyao began her working life in the nursing home. The small money she earned from delivering milk in the morning was all the fare she took to the nursing home.
However, this amount of money is just enough. As long as she does not deliver milk for one day, she will have no money to go to the nursing home. In addition, the salary in the nursing home is paid monthly, and she has not worked for a full month, so there is no extra money.
money.
Recalling the days when she was Lu Xingyao, in addition to having a salary card, there was also a card specially issued for her by the Lu family, specifically for accounting. Every penny she spent, the Lu family was behind.
Support, I have never been so panicked. At that time, I was so blessed that I didn’t know how lucky I was!
Now she is driving a car with a nearly empty gas tank every day. There is no gas station nearby, and every step she takes is in danger.
For example, on this day, she went to bed late and couldn't deliver milk!
She was shouting "It's over! It's over!" in her heart, and she went out anxiously. Unexpectedly, she found a big black car parked outside her cabin.
There were more than a dozen rough men in black suits surrounding the car.
"Bahba -" Originally, the path outside Lu Xingyao's house was already narrow enough, but now such a large car was parked. The cars that turned in by mistake were unable to move forward because there were cars in front and behind them.
Unable to retreat, we were packed to the brim.
"Hey! Back up! Back up! Don't come into this alley again!" This big black car obstructed the traffic. Not only did it not move, but it also allowed the big men surrounding it to rudely drive away the cars behind it.
.
This is not a gangster, so what is it?!
And Lu Xingyao knew clearly that there seemed to be only one gangster he knew.
"Hey -" The people in the big car seemed to see the people in the house coming out, and quickly pressed down their own windows, which were so dark that they couldn't see the inside of the car. Only then could Lu Xingyao see who was sitting inside.
.
"Brother Zhong?" Today, Brother Zhong is wearing a black suit, just like a groom who is going to attend a wedding. He puts one arm on the car window, his chin against the arm, and his eyes seem to be shining as he looks out of the house.
Lu Xingyao.
"..." Lu Xingyao felt goosebumps all over his body for some unknown reason, being stared at by his eyes.
"Hey! What are you doing standing there?! Why don't you come over here!" Just when Lu Xingyao and Zhong Ge looked at each other and both of them were speechless, one of the fat, bald men next to the car suddenly said to Lu Xingyao
Yao yelled, startling her.
At this time, the car door opened.
Brother Zhong stepped on his bright leather shoes and got out of the car. All the brothers surrounding him came closer, but he walked up to the fat man who had just yelled at Lu Xingyao, and punched him in the face with a "pop" sound.
On the face!
"Ouch!" The fat man yelled out because of the pain, and then he covered his red and swollen cheeks and fell into a dirty ditch nearby. He didn't understand what was going on.
Brother Zhong shook his sore hand and stared at him coldly from top to bottom: "Who allowed you to yell at her?"
