Xie Lingya originally wanted to take a nap, but he washed his face first, sobered up and started to do the questions. After finishing the questions, he took a nap.
At almost five o’clock, Xie Lingya got up and planned to cook later.
Xie Lingya wandered around the kitchen, got some food, and planned to knock on Shi Changxuan’s door. As soon as he raised his hand, the door opened. He was startled, and then smiled and said: “I’ll give it to the God of Phytophthora in exchange for food.”
He turned his eyes and saw that the altar was empty. The God of Phytophthora was lying next to Shi Changxuan’s pillow. He probably wasn’t chanting a spell at this time. He said happily: “Has it spoken?”
No. Knowing if it was his misunderstanding, Shi Changxuan hesitated before nodding.
Xie Lingya: “Wow, what did he say?”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Xie Lingya: “?”
Xie Lingya was at a loss, no, why didn’t you answer this?
“Then can I see it?” Xie Lingya asked again, only to see Shi Changxuan hesitate even longer before getting out of the way.
The Phytolacca, still wrapped in a handkerchief, lay on the pillow like a little doll. Xie Lingya walked towards the God of Phytophthora step by step, while Shi Changxuan was staring closely behind him, feeling extremely awkward in his life.
What would Xie Lingya hear…
Xie Lingya leaned over and put his ear close to the Phytolacca god. After a few seconds, he tilted his head and said, “Huh? Why don’t you talk?”
…Has the chattering Phytolacca god stopped?
Seeing Shi Changxuan also coming to the bed, Xie Lingya picked up the Phytolacca and placed it next to Shi Changxuan’s ear, and he reached out to pick it up.
As soon as Xie Lingya let go, Shi Changxuan heard the Phytolacca God whisper: “Huh–I’m so shy.”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
The voice of the Phytolacca was very small, so Xie Lingya didn’t hear anything, and asked with his eyes widened: “How is it? Is there anything?”
Shi Changxuan tilted his head: “No.”
Xie Lingya was disappointed: “Does it have its own ideas and will it choose its own time to speak? What about it before? What on earth did you say?”
The Phytophthora God was speaking now, and its voice reached Shi Changxuan’s ears: “Xie Lingya wants to cook fish at night. There is a very fat carp in the vegetable market. Just turn left and sit in the third row. Two stalls…”
Shi Changxuan looked at it as if he didn’t hear anything and said slowly: “The sequelae of being frightened by thunder means it not very bright.”
The voice of the Phytolacca paused.
Xie Lingya said regretfully: “Ah, so there is no movement, or the content is not effective, so it is of no use?” No wonder Shi Changxuan stopped talking.
Shi Changxuan: “…Hmm.”
Phytolacca God: “I’m not. I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense.”
Xie Lingya: “Is there any way?”
Shi Changxuan let go of Phytolacca God and said calmly: “I’ll try reciting the incantation a few more times.”
He thought that the broken Phytolacca God might have said something like it would not change, but it could not be heard outside his ears, and it was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito.
Xie Lingya saw it, but he smiled and said: “It’s not convenient to hold it up, wait, I will find a pin for you.”
Before Shi Changxuan could say anything, Xie Lingya went out. Not only did he find the pin, but he also used scissors to cut open the veil on the body of the Phytophthora God, and then used pins to close it up so that it looked like a piece of clothing.
Then he pinned the Phytophthora God on Shi Changxuan’s collar, just like a decoration, but it just didn’t match Shi Changxuan’s cold temperament.
Xie Lingya: “Haha, it’s quite cute.”
Shi Changxuan touched the Phytolacca god unnaturally.
Phytolacca God: “I, cute.”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
….
After dinner in the evening, Shi Changxuan let his mind go and recited a spell, ignoring the Phytolacca God who kept talking. He did not prevaricate Xie Lingya. He thought that by chanting more incantations, the Phytolacca God could be adjusted to normal. There was something wrong with this Phytolacca god, it was broken.
On the side, Zhang Daoting asked Xie Lingya: “Does Daozhang Shi not like eating fish? The cold question he asked during dinner, ‘Is this grass carp?’ scared me to death.”
Xie Lingya: “No, when you went out before, he told me which stall to buy carp from in the future. He just doesn’t like eating grass carp. Also, I don’t know when he got to know so much about the vegetable market.”
It was really rare that he enthusiastically guided him on these trivial matters.
Zhang Daoting glanced at Shi Changxuan, who was sitting a little further away, and asked again: “What is that doll on Daochang Shi?”
He endured it for a long time and saw a small puppet hanging on the shoulder of the cold Daochang Shi, which was too inconsistent.
Hai Guanchao’s mind suddenly changed and he thought of something. Seeing that Shi Changxuan had been chanting a spell in a low voice, he asked, “Did you go out just for that thing last time?”
“Yes,” Xie Lingya gave them a little introduction, “Don’t talk about it outside, and don’t mention it to Daochang Shi. That Phytolacca god doesn’t seem to be very smart. He might be sad if you mention it.”
Zhang Daoting laughed dryly. He couldn’t imagine how Daochang Shi would feel sad.
Xie Lingya watched Mr. Shi in suspense for seven or forty-nine times, picked up the teacup and drank water, and got up after thinking about it.
….
Shi Changxuan suddenly felt that the buzzing in his ears had stopped. Even though he was normally calm, he was relieved. Was it really debugged? He couldn’t help but glance at the quiet Phytophthora God.
——The next moment, someone suddenly came from behind and put his head on his shoulder. There was a puppet between their faces.
Shi Changxuan could almost feel the man’s cool breath as he said in his ear with a smile: “Oh, I thought you were talking, so I wanted to eavesdrop.”
Shi Changxuan was a little stiff, Xie Lingya turned his face sideways, and their hair seemed to have brushed against each other. The distance was so close that if they moved even a little, their faces and lips would touch.
It caught Shi Changxuan so off guard that he couldn’t move for a moment.
Xie Lingya didn’t get up yet and said, “It won’t always be like this. Either it doesn’t speak or you can’t tell. Or does it prefer the mountains? Should we send it back?”
Shi Changxuan finally couldn’t help but think seriously, how could he? Lying on my shoulder, he went too far.
Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan didn’t answer him, “Well, isn’t it good?”
At this time, a thin voice sounded in their ears: “Hurry, happy ponds are planted, dreams become oceans, bulging eyes and big mouth, also sings loudly!”
Shi Changxuan: “???”
Before Shi Changxuan could understand, his shoulders suddenly relaxed, but Xie Lingya stood up, holding the Phytophthora God in his hands and cheered: “It actually Can sing “Little Jumping Frog”! Don’t let it go -“
Shi Changxuan: “………”
….
Shi Changxuan walked into the subway along with the flow of people, preparing to go to class. The Phytolacca God was pinned to the strap of his backpack, and he could carry it with him after opening his mouth. However, it kept chattering because of leaving Baoyang Temple.
Shi Changxuan: “…Noisy.”
He took off the Phytophthora God and put it in his pocket. When he looked up again, he found that not only could he not hear Phytolacca’s voice, but also the students who were chatting around him had all shut up.
Shi Changxuan turned his head and looked out the window with a cold expression.
During class, Huang Jinyang asked Shi Changxuan: “Have you brought my literature notes? You asked me to lend them to you last time.”
Shi Changxuan opened the bag and looked at it, “…I brought the wrong one.”
He read in the room. There were several notebooks, and he must have accidentally made a mistake, because he was really absent-minded because of the words of the Phytolacca God…
“Ah? It’s over, I want to take it back. I asked for leave to go back to my hometown to attend a wedding, and I will go there after class as I have to catch the high-speed train at noon.” Huang Jinyang looked regretful.
“Let me ask.” Shi Changxuan meant to ask if anyone at Baoyang Temple was free and could come and deliver the notes.
He took his bag and went out to make a call. Before dialing, he caught a glimpse of the Phytolacca on the bag. He picked it up and said, “Why didn’t you remind me?”
Seeking good luck and avoiding misfortune was the most basic function of the Phytolacca God.
Phytolacca remained silent, as if it were really a silent puppet.
Shi Changxuan called Xie Lingya. Naturally, he could only be free in the whole Taoist temple. When he heard about Huang Jinyang, Xie Lingya immediately said: “It’s okay. I’ll send it over. I have nothing to do here.”
Xie Lingya said in the morning that he had already finished making a batch of Yangchun White ice cream. This one sold very well. The few dozen kilograms were all sold out on the first day, so Xie Lingya felt free to make more this time.
He followed what Shi Changxuan said on the phone, took his notes with him, took the subway to Quedong College by the familiar route, and found the teaching building where they had classes.
Just at this time, the first class had ended, and Huang Jinyang and Shi Changxuan came out together.
Seeing Xie Lingya coming to deliver the notebook, Huang Jinyang thanked him: “Teacher Xie, I have to call you teacher. It’s so awesome. That transport talisman is very useful. I haven’t seen those things much recently.”
He blinked the left eye for a while before slowly opening it, but the blinking frequency was still relatively high. It seemed that although things were changing, this habit could not be changed for a while.
“As long as it’s useful, where will your next class be?” Xie Lingya said, walking out with them.
They were all on the same road for a while. Xie Lingya was walking beside Shi Changxuan and asked casually: “Where’s that… doll?”
Shi Changxuan took out the Phytolacca God from his pocket.
Xie Lingya asked him implicitly: “Why don’t you pin it up?”
Huang Jinyang felt strange after hearing their conversation, “Isn’t this a gift from you? I also asked why Shi Changxuan is so…”
“That the style of painting wrong? “Xie Lingya said with a smile, “This is very cute.” If it were him, he would definitely carry it with him every day.
Shi Changxuan silently put the Phytophthora God back on his shoulder.
Walking in the school, Xie Lingya caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, “Isn’t that Principal Mi? Have you seen it? Once I was setting off fireworks in the school after winter vacation, and he hit me and gave me a scolding.”
Principal Mi was nicknamed Old Man Mi by everyone. Huang Jinyang and Shi Changxuan were both graduate students, but they recognized his face. At this time, he was leading a group of people on the playground, as if they were doing an inspection.
Huang Jinyang glanced at it and said, “Isn’t the one next to him a teacher from our school?”
Xie Lingya also made a distinction, “Are you talking about the one on the left who looks rich? The one with particularly long earlobes.”
“It’s the one on the left. I don’t know if the earlobes are long or not.” Huang Jinyang hesitated, “He has a big piece of paper hanging on his ear.”
“Paper?” Xie Lingya glanced again, “No one has a piece of paper on his ear. Ah.”
“Isn’t it?” Huang Jinyang looked at it carefully and saw that it was indeed true, “It really is… Hey, wait, why is this piece of paper round on the outside and square on the inside, like a copper coin… No, paper copper money, paper money…. Huh??”
Huang Jinyang was stunned, how could anyone hang paper money on himself.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan immediately looked at each other, paper money?
At this time, the Phytolacca God, who had never predicted anything serious since he opened his mouth, suddenly said in his thin voice: “If you hang paper money in your ears, your life will be limited.”
