Chapter 050: Ghosts' Annual Holiday
The time passed quickly after that.
Jiang Xian was planning what to prepare for the ancestor while waiting for guests to arrive.
An hour after the little boy left, his stall welcomed customers again.
Still an old customer.
"Oh Master Jiang! I finally found you."
The visitor was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Jiang Xian, she was overjoyed.
Next to her was a young girl who was pregnant.
The young girl didn't object to seeing him.
He also looked at the flagpole next to him with some curiosity.
"Master, you said last time that I would sprain my ankle and fall down the stairs, but I wouldn't hurt my bones... Everything has come true!"
The woman said excitedly, "I went to the original place to look for you, but couldn't find you anywhere. Later, I asked a lot of people and found out that you were here."
Jiang Xian smiled and said, "This is the rule of our sect."
It’s mainly the rules set for him by his ancestors.
Go to different places and meet different people.
You can't stay in one place forever.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Every industry has its own rules, and these rules cannot be broken."
The woman quickly agreed, blaming herself for not being able to flatter him enough.
She pulled the young woman next to her in front of her and said, "Master Jiang, can you help my daughter-in-law calculate whether she is pregnant with a sister or a brother?"
As he said this, he placed the money he had prepared in advance into the bowl in front of Jiang Xian.
The young woman touched her belly, also with a curious look on her face.
This question...
Jiang Xian looked at the young woman and subconsciously used the physiognomy he had just learned.
This look.
He noticed that the woman had a sunken forehead and a black brow, and she seemed to have suffered a bloody disaster.
He frowned immediately.
In order to prevent himself from making a mistake, he threw out the coin again and analyzed the hexagram carefully.
"Master, if you figure it out, just tell us. We want both boys and girls."
The young woman thought he was hesitating about this.
Nowadays, hospitals basically do not tell pregnant women the gender of their baby, for fear that someone will abort the baby prematurely.
That would cost a life.
She touched her belly subconsciously, "Actually I don't really care, I just heard my mom talk about you and I was a little curious."
"It doesn't matter if the baby is a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, I'll buy him an Ultraman toy. If it's a girl, I'll prepare a pretty little dress for her."
As she said this, a gentle smile appeared on the young woman's face.
Her whole body exudes a maternal glow.
"Don't worry about whether it's a boy or a girl."
Jiang Xian put away the copper coins and looked at the pregnant woman.
Look serious.
"You shouldn't move around recently. Stay at home and take good care of your baby. Otherwise..."
He paused, "Otherwise, not a single one can be saved."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young woman's face turned pale.
He staggered back a step, his hands subconsciously clutching the clothes on his stomach.
Muttered: "How could it be..."
The woman next to her quickly helped her up and said, "Don't panic. If you panic, what will happen to the baby?"
After calming her daughter-in-law down, the woman hurriedly asked about Jiang Xian.
"Master, is it okay to just stay at home?"
Jiang Xian nodded.
According to the hexagram, as long as you don't go out and wander around, it won't be that serious.
"If you have to go out, it's best to have someone accompany you."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Master!"
The woman thanked him repeatedly and took out another Mao Zedong note from her bag and put it in the bowl in front of her.
Master Jiang had said this the first time she came to him for fortune-telling.
He is practicing, the starting amount is five yuan, just give as you see fit.
Don't be too rigid.
She brought her daughter-in-law with her this time, originally wanting to ask about the baby's gender so that she could prepare things in advance.
I didn't expect to ask such a life-threatening question.
She only had one Mao Zedong note left on her. Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing.
Seeing this, Jiang Xian did not refuse.
He is not short of money.
If you are short of money, you won’t sit on the street every day.
He takes whatever these people give him.
Thinking of what he had divined before, Jiang Xian gave another warning: "On Ghost Festival, keep the door closed and try not to go out, so as not to get hurt."
He didn't believe in these things before, let alone the Ghost Festival.
but now……
Even the ancestors showed up and were making preparations for the Ghost Festival.
He has no choice but to believe it.
"Okay, thank you, Master."
The young woman nodded, although her face was still a little pale.
But what was displayed between his eyebrows was an unprecedented firmness.
She placed one hand firmly on her belly, looking carefully at the road and paying attention to the people around her.
…No one can hurt her baby!
She can't panic or be afraid, she can do it!
The baby still needs her protection.
After the two men walked away, Jiang Xian stayed there for a while.
After looking at the time, he packed up and prepared to go back early.
He is going to buy good things for his ancestors!
By then, if the ancestor is happy, he might be able to teach him a few more tricks.
"Wanbaozhai's pastries are good, let's go there first."
…
That night, in the live broadcast room.
The viewers heard the host mention the Ghost Festival and told them to go out less and go home before dark at night.
Don't walk around.
"Ghost Festival? Will all the ghosts come out?"
"I can actually celebrate Ghost Festival in my lifetime! I'll have something to brag about when my son is born! Awesome!"
"This is the first time for us to celebrate Ghost Festival, so don't be modest, brothers!"
After listening to what the host said, the netizens were not scared at all, but rather a little excited.
Nowadays, as long as you have a mobile phone, it doesn’t matter whether you go out during the day!
They care about...
"Will my grandma come back too?"
"One Hundred Demons Night Parade, just listening to it is so exciting!"
"Host, will your ghost messenger come out during the Ghost Festival?"
"Will the little loli come to the human world to go shopping? I can recommend a super delicious food restaurant!"
"Let's start with some hot pot, mutton, hot and sour noodles, five-spice donkey meat, and Goubuli steamed buns..."
“…”
Jiang Lin looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and ignored them.
He discovered that recently.
Although these people are bold in words, they also dare to think.
But when really facing death, people still cherish their lives.
Just like the funny couple last time.
Everything is easy to talk about when you are alive.
You can be willful and you can act coquettishly at will.
But if you lose your life, you really lose everything.
It is because they know this that they are so nervous and sad.
Moreover, the ghost messengers have been traveling more frequently recently.
Lord Yama also began to summon ghost messengers.
In addition to daily live broadcasts, Jiang Lin also started to get busy.
Halloween.
The ghosts' annual holiday.
The ghost messengers’ annual super overtime day.
…
In addition to Jiang Lin's instructions.
Many people who have inherited their ancestors' traditions have also received instructions from their ancestors.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s just their illusion.
I always feel that my ancestors are a little different recently.
He looks very happy.
Do our ancestors also have to do something during the Ghost Festival?
Go meet people, or parade in the streets?
It feels very novel to think that our ancestors celebrated festivals just like humans.
When the live broadcast starts, they might even be able to see the Ghost Festival in the underworld.
With this in mind, the forum for finding ancestors became lively again.
Everyone was discussing whether they would see different ancestors during the Ghost Festival.
