Chapter 70
Because they lived very close, Jun Fenghuo asked him to take care of the empty villa, and it was he who planted the potted plants.
The cool black motorcycle in the middle of the courtyard has been moved to the garage by him. It rained for several days in a row recently, so he couldn't learn to ride a four-wheeled motorcycle, but he had no problem riding a two-wheeled motorcycle. When Mr. Jun comes back, he will definitely be able to learn it quickly.
Wen Ci Qiu watered all the green plants. The empty villa made people not want to stay there for a moment. It was completely different from the feeling when Jun Fenghuo was there.
Wen Ci Qiu closed the door of the villa and happened to run into two people who were not at home late at night and were carrying their children who were about to go to bed. "If children don't sleep well, they will not grow taller. Don't end up like someone who is only 1.78 meters tall."
Wen Ci Qiu's bland words made Liu Ze jump up and down. There was nothing he could do about it; he was the shortest among all the adult men in the family, only two centimeters short, and being less than 1.8 meters tall was his eternal sore spot.
Liu Jiayu's little face was also full of worry. He didn't know what the benefits of growing taller were, but he heard from the housekeeper that not growing tall would definitely not be good.
Butler Wen left a message and went back to the villa long ago. Liu Ze couldn't just run over and duel with Butler Wen just because of a message. He turned around and saw his adopted son, his face full of confusion.
Liu Ze rubbed Jiayu's face with both hands without hesitation: "You are not allowed to be taller than me."
Liu Jiayu disagreed with this. He wanted to grow as tall as his father. His father was the tallest person in the family and was as reliable as a mountain.
Yan Shiliu stopped Liu Ze's mischievous hand and said to him helplessly: "If you don't leave the ghost market now, it will be over."
"Hmph." He'd already traveled through time and space, and his body had changed, so why couldn't he be 1.8 meters tall? He was 1.75 meters before, and now he'd only grown two centimeters. No matter how much he ate, or how much energy he could muster, he wouldn't grow those two centimeters.
My face finally escaped from the clutches of my father, and it was rubbed warm by my father, and it must have turned red.
Yan Shiliu couldn't help but poke his son's face with his calloused hands. He was so soft: "Don't worry, he will definitely be taller than your father. Have fun when you play, and sleep a little longer when you sleep."
"Yeah!" Compared to the unreliable father, every word the taciturn father says makes people more convinced.
"What are you two doing? Hurry up, let's go." Liu Ze walked a distance and didn't hear any movement behind him. He turned around and found that the two were not moving.
The ghost market they were going to tonight was something they accidentally heard about when they were visiting the temple fair some time ago. Out of curiosity, they had been asking around for a while and finally confirmed the time and place.
Speaking of the ghost market, it really has something to do with ghosts. The original world had the Ghost Festival, but this world does not. A similar festival is the ghost market tonight.
The development trajectories of the two time and space are similar, but the time and content of various festivals are not very similar. The Taoist Zhongyuan Festival and the Buddhist Ullambana Festival in the original world are both for worshiping ancestors and liberating the souls of the dead.
The ghost market here has nothing to do with religion. It is also called the summer festival. In ancient times, people did business on lonely graves in the wild in order to evade commercial taxes and various spies. Of course, the items traded were not daily necessities, such as stolen cultural relics and calligraphy and paintings, treasures and jewelry of unknown origin. The items were valuable and could not be shown. The large transaction amount also tested one's eyesight. Besides, you start trading on other people's graves, so why don't you burn some paper money for those graves?
Liu Ze read about this ghost market in a book and was struck by how it was probably too hot in the summer, making it impossible to sleep at night. A bunch of people with nothing to do were setting up stalls on other people's graves.
Of course, it has developed into a summer carnival now. There are more people than land now, and it is not as easy to find Luanfenggang as it was in ancient times. Therefore, the beginning of this sacrifice to ghosts and gods is at the foot of the mountain where the largest temple is located.
The world has kept its handed-down traditions relatively intact, which are reflected in all aspects. Tonight, most families turned off the lights early, and the street lights in the city were also turned off around 9 o'clock. The roads were plunged into endless darkness. Only the passing car lights were relatively bright. Occasionally, there were a few windows with lights on, but they were very rare.
Everyone who enters the park must light incense in the largest incense burner, and no one knows whether it is burned for ghosts or for gods.
Liu Ze and Yan Shiliu used their lightness skills to travel while it was dark. It was cloudy tonight and the moon was looming behind the clouds. No one noticed the two dark shadows flying high in the sky. The distance between the two provinces was covered in just one hour.
Liu Jiayu nestled obediently in his father's arms. His father's windbreaker blocked most of the cold wind. He just curiously looked at the dark earth beneath his feet and the deep blue sky through the gap in his coat. The sound of the wind whistling in his ears was the call for freedom. Human beings can stay in the air for a short time by themselves. That is unimaginable freedom like birds.
Liu Jiayu's eyes were bright. He didn't feel bored during the one-hour journey.
They landed in a dark grove. There were tiny dots of light in the distance, but it was pitch black here.
Liu Jiayu had just crawled out of his father's black windbreaker when a mask fell from the sky and hung lightly on the upper half of his face. Liu Ze took out a half-face mask with a white background and gold patterns painted in the shape of a meow face and put it on Jiayu's face.
The moment Liu Jiayu put it on, he felt a little cool, and then he felt very comfortable. He didn't feel like there was anything on his face at all. When he looked up and saw his two fathers, both his father and his father were wearing deer antler masks. His father's antlers were white with small flowers, while his father's antlers were black, which looked more handsome.
Liu Jiayu was super happy. The masks were so cool. Only he knew that the people under the two masks were his dad and his father.
Coming out of the dark grove, the road wasn't very bright. Liu Jiayu held a chubby pigeon-like lantern in her hand, which emitted a faint light and swayed with the pace of her father's steps.
On the road, we met a few people holding flashlights or lanterns, walking like they were in a ghost market. We all knew what was going on, and didn't say hello. We were just curious why they brought their children, and we would look at them a few more times.
There are two rows of large incense burners at the entrance of the park, with about twenty incense burners in each row. Some people bring their own incense, light it and put it in the incense burners. Of course, you can also buy incense at the stall behind the incense burners. It is impossible that no one is doing this business.
The three of them lit incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner according to the local custom. It was not obvious at the outskirts of the huge park, but when they arrived at the main trading area, they clearly saw the bustling quietness. There were many people, but not as noisy as the pedestrian street during the day, and people spoke in whispers.
Those who sell things will use lanterns or dim flashlights to illuminate the things they want to sell, quietly looking for edge corners or corners, waiting for the right person.
You don’t need anyone to introduce things to you when buying them. You can just look for them yourself and observe them carefully with a flashlight if you like something.
There are dark human figures swaying in the distance, especially in this dark place, the dim light makes the figures appear even more shadowy.
