C22 Simple Wish

When I asked Hsing this question, I suddenly felt a little scared.

Especially her expression, it was obvious that she was afraid, as if she had made a mistake.

I was a man after all. When facing ghosts, I still had to act like a man.

I said, "Hsing, don't be anxious. Even if you didn't find her earlier, it's not a big deal."

I pondered. Anyway, those were all illusions, not real. What was there to be afraid of?

Besides, his little wife had already died peacefully. As long as the result was good, he didn't need to care about the process.

Hsing slowly let go of my hands, but her expression was still solemn. "Little Junior Brother, tell me everything you saw last night."

At this time, Hsing moved her feet lightly and started to walk again.

I followed closely behind her and told her everything.

When I finished, Hsing didn't speak for a long time. Her eyebrows were locked, as if she was thinking about something.

I was affected by her emotions. I kept silent and didn't dare to speak, afraid that I would disturb her thoughts.

After walking for nearly an hour, Hsing finally smiled. "Forget it. It's all in the past. Why think so much?"

"Little Junior Brother, you will be following me to the county town tomorrow! Tell me, do you have anything you want to buy?"

Seeing Hsing's relaxed expression, my mood also relaxed.

I first complained, "Hsing, look at you. You almost scared me to the point of getting an internal injury."

I didn't think too deeply into it, and then started to talk about my plans.

When my disciple went down the mountain to guard the spirit, more than half of the money would be given to Master.

However, after the guarding of the spirit, Master would give a certain reward to all the participants, so that they could go to the county town to relax.

So, I planned to go to the bathhouse and wash off the evilness on my body.

I had only heard of the bathhouse from Bai Xiaotiao, but I had never been there before.

I heard that after going there, my body was clean, even cleaner than when I was soaking in the river for an entire day!

I wanted to go in and soak in the big pond, find someone to rub my back … If Master gave me enough money, I would want to cultivate my feet in there.

I also wanted to live the life of a city person!

In addition, I wanted to go to the market and buy some pork for my family.

My family hadn't eaten meat for two years. Last year, when the New Year came, the dumplings were all stuffed with pickled vegetables. I had just celebrated my birthday, so I ate two vegetables and one soup: Liu Huang Sprout with Sauce, Ganoderma Pickled Vegetables, and tofu and green onion soup.

That was not possible. If there was no meat, we, as adults, would not be affected, but it would affect my brother and sister.

I also want to buy some five-floor, fat and lean meat.

When I bring it home, the lean meat will be used to stir-fry the dishes, and the fat meat will be roasted.

This way, when there is no meat at home, they can also eat the oily taste!

Finally, I want to secretly buy a gift for Hsing.

In the past few days, I have been following behind her and secretly sizing her up.

I am not like a little hooligan, thinking about those unhealthy thoughts.

I have been secretly pondering that when I have money, I will buy a few feet of good cloth for Hsing.

I don't want to buy a genuine one. I want to buy a better quality Dica (a type of cloth in the 1990s, very sturdy)!

I hope that the first gift I buy for Hsing will be suitable and can be worn.

In the future, when she looks at that dress, she will remember me. Then — my goal will be achieved.

When I pass the "first time" stage and can guard the spirit alone, I will be able to earn more money.

At that time, I will buy a velvet material for Hsing and make clothes for her to wear in the winter.

I will do my best to dress my young senior sister up beautifully.

...

In front of Hsing, I only told her the first two ideas. I didn't have the nerve to say the last one.

After I finished listening, Hsing giggled.

"Aiya! Little junior brother, it seems that you have suffered a lot in the past few years. Why are you so pitiful?"

"Alright, then. When we enter the county, you will follow me. I will definitely let you enjoy it!"

As she spoke, Hsing patted her chest and pretended to be an elder to a child.

I was secretly happy in my heart. Hsing, you are only two years older than me, but you are not that much older!

Besides the time of guarding the spirit, she was bouncing around. She was not stable at all. She looked like my junior sister.

However, I could only hide these words in my heart. She was being kind, so I should not make her unhappy just because of my words.

Along the way, I chatted about these happy topics. I also glanced at Hsing, who was happy and cheerful, from time to time. I felt a little disappointed in my heart.

I thought, I wonder who will be so lucky in the future to be able to marry my young senior sister.

Sigh, this man must have accumulated all his virtues for eight lifetimes!

After returning to the West Mountain, Hsing asked me to go to the west room and let second senior brother continue to help me evacuate my acupoints.

She even took the initiative to make decisions for her master: let me continue to rest today and relax.

I was thinking, 'Master won't agree, right?'

Didn't Master say that when learning to guard the spirit, one must have the spirit of suffering, endure hardship, endure hunger, endure fear, endure mockery, and other things. He said that one must endure 'twelve natures'.

He would give me a green light today to rest?

Strangely enough, Hsing's words were really effective. Even at dinner time, Master did not call me to do "work".

This was the first time the four of them had gathered together for dinner.

When I faced Master, I felt a little restrained and did not dare to say too much.

Usually, I would eat three bowls of rice, but today, I was full in one and a half bowls. I did not even drink much meat soup.

"Deshui, don't be in a hurry to leave! Let me ask you, are you happy to go to the county town with your Senior Sister tomorrow?" After dinner, I was about to go out for a walk when I was suddenly stopped by Master.

I said honestly, "Yes, of course I'm happy! But I don't know how much money I can put in my pocket tomorrow!"

Actually, even if Master could not give me much money, I would still be very happy. At least I could go into the city and see a lot of new things.

"Haha, you brat, you're indirectly squeezing Master. You are afraid that I will be stingy!"

"Alright, I'll give you the money now. Tomorrow, when you enter the county town, you can spend as much as you want!"

As he spoke, Master took out some money from his pocket and then lightly slapped the table with his palm.

When I saw the number of money, my eyes went straight.

There were actually five "Grand Unity"!

Oh my god, that was fifty yuan!

When I looked at Master again, my eyes changed.

Ever since I became a disciple, this was the first time I felt that Master was actually kind and thoughtful.

I was just a follower. It had only been a week, but I had already earned fifty yuan. Was there such a generous master in the world?

At that time, I was just happy. I was thinking about what I would buy in the county town. I wanted to buy some for my family, and some for my master.

I did not notice that at that moment, second senior brother and young senior sister's expressions were actually a little strange.

Second senior brother, Geng Yan, had been eating his rice. When he was anxious, he even dug the rice particles into his nose. It was obvious that he was distracted.

Hsing seemed to be happy for me. After glancing at me, she turned her head away, as if she had wiped the corner of her mouth.

I only knew later that she had secretly wiped her tears away!
