Magnificent Years

Chapter 138 Garland
When I ran to the first floor, I saw my mother and grandmother sitting outside in the yard basking in the sun, Cucumber and a few puppies lying beside them, and Xiao Luan sitting in the living room watching TV seriously.

The only one missing is Mrs. Cui.

Lu An called out, "Grandma."

The old man followed his reputation and waved to her happily: "Anru is awake, you love this creamy melon seeds, your mother and I have nothing to do, we finished half a bowl for you, come and eat."

"Thank you grandma."

Lu Anru looked around while walking towards the yard.She was so focused on finding someone, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and kicked a wooden stool, causing her to jump around in pain.

Mother Lu put down the work of helping grandma wash the vegetables, and ran quickly to Lu Anru's side, held her armpit, and asked worriedly, "Did you hurt your foot?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

Lu Anru rubbed the two toes she bumped, and stepped back to the ground after making sure that the bones were fine, and took two steps under Lu's mother's concerned gaze.

Only then did Mother Lu let go of the hand supporting her, and said a few more words: "Walk and watch the road."

"understood."

Lu Anru rushed to the yard, looked around, but still did not see Aunt Cui.

"An Ru, come and sit down, tell grandma what you want for lunch, and grandma will make it for you."

The old man took the absent-minded girl by the hand and stuffed her with an apple.

Lu Anru put the apples in his pocket, knelt down and asked the old man, "Grandma, where is Mrs. Cui?"

"Her little granddaughter just caught a cold and got blisters on her body. Xiao Cui was worried. In the morning, she received a call from her son, saying that she and her daughter-in-law had taken too many days off recently, and the boss had a big opinion. She hoped that she and her wife would go over and help take care of her. Lay down the baby."

Grandma saw the anxiety in Lu Anru's eyes, and mistakenly thought that she was worrying about asking for leave, and explained, "I'm almost recovering from illness, so I don't need Xiao Cui to take care of me all the time. Besides, you and your mother are here, and our grandparents and grandchildren are more than three." Intimacy, it would be awkward for outsiders to be around."

"Grandma, do you know Aunt Cui's phone number?" Lu Anru touched her body, but found neither the powder bag nor the computer, and they all fell on the bedside table.

Grandma put on her presbyopic glasses, took out the elderly phone bought by her mother, flipped through the phone book and asked, "What can you do with her?"

"It's very important, you wait for me."

Lu Anru rushed back to the house in three steps and two steps, carried the powder bag on her back and put the computer in, and ran downstairs to the yard.

"Please transfer the number to my computer."

Lu Anru put the computer by her grandmother's hand, closed her eyes and panted heavily, the intense exercise made her heart beat faster and her brain swell.

"Let me do it, your grandma won't mess with this."

The mother operated with both hands, finished the information in a few seconds, and handed the computer back to her: "Okay, take a look."

Lu Anru took the computer and dialed the number displayed on the page, but the beeping sound kept repeating, and no one answered for a long time.

Repeatedly dialed four times, but there was no answer, and I felt bad. Could it be that Xiaobai also shot Aunt Cui and Old Man Cui?
If Aunt Cui and his wife were to be thwarted and Lu Anru stayed out of the matter, I would be a little happy to see it happen.According to Xiaobai's previous methods, at most the two people will be sick and frightened, so they should be taught a lesson.

The key point is that she was in the middle of something, agreed to Peach Tree Spirit, and secretly said: "Trouble."

Turning around, she changed into a cute and obedient girl, and asked grandma: "I can't get through, do you have her son's phone number?"

It doesn't make much difference who to tell you about outrageous things, it's just a waste of time to think of ways, the key is to contact people first.

"Yes, Xiao Anru, don't worry, wait for me to look for it." Grandma helped the reading glasses.

The pretty face collapsed, of course she was anxious, so anxious that she stabbed herself in the dream.

Lu's mother noticed the change in her face carefully, took the grandmother's elderly phone, and said softly: "Mom, let me look for it, what name do you save?"

"It seems to be Cui Er."

Mother Lu found it and dialed it directly, and handed the old man's phone to Lu Anru, "Use this to say."

"Ok."

Lu Anru took the old man's phone, smiled at her mother and grandmother, gestured to leave the house, and said haha: "The yard is not covered so that the sun can shine. I'll go to the door to make a call. There are grape trellises there."

"Show more sun in the early spring to replenish calcium."

Grandma's kind persuasion was stopped by Lu's mother, who raised her chin to her and said, "Go and call, remember what my mother told you, choice is very important."

"Understood." Lu Anru responded casually, not listening carefully to what her mother said, when a man's voice came from the phone.

"Auntie, hello, I'm Xiaocui. Hello? Auntie, can you hear me?"

"Yes, wait a few seconds, I have something to tell you."

As Lu An responded, he quickened his pace.

A man asked in a bad tone on the phone: "Who are you? Why do you take someone else's phone?"

"If you accidentally pick it up, return it quickly. This microcomputer can't be sold for a lot of money, but the old man is using it."

"Hello? Talk to me!"

After walking out of the courtyard, Lu Anru leaned against the outer brick wall and answered in a low voice: "I am the granddaughter of the owner of this elderly machine. My name is Lu Anru. I just came to see my grandmother a few days ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Cui."

One-off identification, saving time for pointless torture, judging from the man persuading her to return the phone, the other party is still civic-minded.

There was an inquiring conversation on the other end of the phone. The mother and son confirmed the details and time. Perhaps Aunt Cui was still not particularly relieved and asked her son to turn on the speakerphone.

"Is there something wrong with your grandma? My mother is beside me. Please tell me if you have anything to do."

Lu Anru took two deep breaths, lowered her voice, and said in a deep voice: "What I'm going to tell you may feel unbelievable, or you may think I'm crazy. But, I'm just a messenger, and you can decide for yourself whether to listen or not. "

First give the other party a warning, the so-called nothing to do with oneself is high-hanging, from the very beginning it creates her impatience, and the pressure that they need to bear the consequences for their next words and decisions.

Lu Anru was betting, based on the supremacy of grandma in Aunt Cui's heart, and because Aunt Cui knew that she was studying in Yuexiang.

A full minute passed, and the man responded slowly: "You can tell."

"Well, there is an old peach tree in the yard of your mother's house. She is the patron saint for several miles. Your ancestors did good deeds to keep her in the yard, but you disrespected her again and again, which aroused her anger. She let me Help me convey a word."

The old couple of the Cui family were both surprised and afraid of the peach tree spirit, and she didn't need to overthrow it.The main fear is far better than sympathy, and it can make people choose to obey from the bottom of their hearts.

"A tree is a patron saint?" the man asked in amazement.

The next second, Lu Anru hadn't answered yet, a crisp applause came from the other end of the phone, and Aunt Cui and her wife scolded at the same time.

"Be careful when you speak."

"Concentrate on driving and stop talking."

Even over the phone, Lu Anru could tell that the slap hurt no matter where it was slapped.

The man pressed the car horn to express his depression, but the computer was taken away by Aunt Cui, and he said in a coaxing tone: "Anru, I am Aunt Cui, what did the peach tree spirit tell you?"

Lu Anru reminded coldly: "Be careful with your words."

Aunt Cui asked the little girl to slap her, her face was slightly ugly, and she glanced at her husband, who made a gesture of 'asking and talking'.

Aunt Cui nodded, and then remembered that although Lu Anru had a normal attitude towards her these past few days, she spoke with the childish voice of a little girl, which was completely different from the deep voice at this moment.

Even if he is disguising his voice, his aura is really depressing.The aura is not like a disguise, but more like being possessed by something.

Peach tree essence?Derived from the point, the thoughts are opened, and the attitude is correct and respectful: "May I ask you what the patron saint wants to convey?"

You almost blurted it out, lest you offend the peach tree spirit and cause more trouble.

"You don't deserve to be blessed by the patron saint any more. When you go home, remove all the potted plants and give them to good people. You are not allowed to open the windows for more than half an hour every day for the past six months. If the patron saint finds out that you have violated her punishment, you and your children Children and grandchildren will never be able to escape the suffering of illness."

After Lu Anru finished speaking in a detached and ethereal voice, she hung up the phone.Not giving Aunt Cui time to ask questions is tantamount to giving an irresistible order to die.

She didn't turn off her grandmother's elderly phone, and Aunt Cui didn't have the guts to call back to question her.

But just to be on the safe side, to prevent grandma from being disturbed by troubles, Lu Anru would sit next to grandma when she returned home, eat melon seeds, chat with the old man, and keep an eye on the elderly phone by the way.

The chatting time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon.

After eating a lunch full of what she ordered, she helped Xiao Luan finish the dishes.

In the afternoon, I will train in the back row, and go back to the bedroom and lie on the bed to sleep.

Entering the dream, the ghost doll's thoughts are all on the peach tree spirit, not interested in scaring her, and the scene remains the same, the courtyard of the Cui family.

Looking at the courtyard from the entrance, the ghost doll floats at the door of the master bedroom, looking sadly at something under her.It seems that her words had a profound impact on the little ghost, and the little ghost didn't dare to get close to Taoshu, fearing that her favorite sister Taoshu would be frozen.

Lu Anru walked up to the ghost baby and asked bluntly, "Has the peach tree spirit come out yet?"

"A few minutes after I came out, she left me the wreath and went back into the tree. She even apologized to me, saying that her strength was only enough to weave a wreath, and she had broken her promise."

Lu Anru pointed her finger at the ghost doll's drooping forehead, and warned sharply: "Don't cry, the peach tree spirit enters the dream with its primordial spirit, if you hurt her again, you know what the result will be."

"Well, I don't cry." Guiwa pursed her lips tightly, trying her best to suppress the desire to cry.

Kuang was suppressed by the discomfort, looked at the garland on the ground, and made a lame request: "Please help me put it on, only you can touch me."

"The garland is not the same substance as you. Just because I can touch you doesn't mean I can transform the garland into a spirit state. Don't expect too much."

Lu Anru leaned over and picked up the wreath, and put it on the ghost doll's head. The wreath passed through the smoke-shaped body and fell straight to the ground, shaking off two pink peach blossoms.

The ghost doll looked at the second gift she had received since birth, a gift that she still couldn't keep well.All kinds of sorrow and grief came to my heart, I closed my eyes and pursed my mouth tightly, except trying to stop the urge to cry again, there was nothing else I could do.

"By the way, I thought of a trick. What's your full name?" Lu An Ruguang knew the ghost baby's nickname.

"I don't have a full name, my mum died early, she left when I was a baby."

The little female ghost turned her back, trying to imitate humans and put her head on the wall, seeking a short-term support, but her head went through the wall, and her little desire fell through.

"Oh."

After Lu Anru completed the words, he found a wooden stick and drew a circle on the ground, leaving an exit in the direction of the ghost doll, and wrote a line inside the circle: the ghost doll by my side.

The ghost baby felt very uncomfortable, and was not in the mood to watch Lu Anru mess around, but a smell of burning things came into his nostrils.

Turning around to see the shocking scene, Lu Anru threw the wreath into the fire.

"You vicious bad woman!"

The ghost doll screamed and jumped into the fire, trying to extinguish the fire with its body.

However, the wind brought by its extreme speed only intensified the fire, and by the time it arrived, there were very few wreaths left.

Watching the last pink of the peach blossom turn into ashes, she turned to Lu Anru angrily, and shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Calm down." Lu Anru squatted on the spot without rushing or panicking, without dodging or hiding, raised his finger to point upwards, and said softly, "Touch the top of your head."

"I won't be deceived by you again!" The ghost baby grew bigger and opened its bloody mouth to Lu Anru.

While shaking, two things fell to the ground, a garland and a book.

The ghost doll froze in disbelief, the wreath didn't burn out?Was it Lu Anru who used a trick to deceive his eyes?
He hesitated to touch it with his hand, but he didn't see the expected hand passing through the wreath. The touch of the delicate and soft petals spread from his fingertips to his brain, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "It's amazing that I can touch it."

"Not only can you touch it, but you can also wear it. Try wearing it yourself." Lu Anru heaved a sigh of relief, quietly retracted the silver bag, and removed the indifference on his face.

"Wow, it's really like what Sister Taoshu said, I am also very beautiful wearing a wreath." The ghost doll floated in front of the master bedroom window, looking at herself through the glass reflection.

Lu Anru sighed in her heart: Oh my god, even ghosts love beauty.

Standing up and walking to the place where the ghost doll left things, he pretended to be difficult and asked, "You don't want the book, do you? I took it back."

"want!"

The ghost doll flashed to Lu Anru's feet, picked up "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and hugged it carefully, and said politely to Lu Anru for the first time, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you are playing at the door of the house by yourself, I'll go and have a few words with the Peach Tree Spirit."

After Lu Anru finished explaining, she walked up to the peach tree, touched the trunk with her palms, closed her eyes and said loudly, "I conveyed your instructions to Aunt Cui, they will take it seriously, you can cultivate with peace of mind."

If you want to ask why you have to speak so loudly in a place where there is only one person, one spirit, and one spirit, she is afraid that the peach tree spirit will be too weak to hear.

The warm wind rose, and after receiving a tacit response from each other, Lu Anru entered the side house, lay down on the bed and prepared to enter a formal rest.

A few seconds after I closed my eyes, the temperature around me dropped sharply, so I didn't need to open my eyes to know who was coming.

"Why?" Lu Anru asked with a tone colder than that of a ghost, and there was no free time every day.

"Why is there only the first volume of the book? What about the second volume?" Ghost Doll's voice revealed a bit of disappointment and grievance.

Lu Anru's eyelids didn't open, so she answered as it should be: "I've been busy with peach tree spirits for the past two days, so I forgot to pretend. I promise I will burn it to you before you close the small hole in my brain."

Guiwa heard that Lu Anru was making a request in disguise, a complicated look flashed across her pale face, and she whispered, "You have to remember."

"understood."

Without thinking too much about the ghost doll's abnormal talkativeness, Lu Anru let go of her thoughts and greeted her own rest time.

However, not long after the cleanliness, a thin man broke into the door.
