Chapter 45 You sat on my godmother
The salesman got a bunch of feathers from nowhere and was sewing them together.
Xiao Baojing was wrapped in a small quilt and lay weakly on the edge of the box: "Seller, I'm sick. I'm afraid I won't be able to travel today."
"Wait until you recover from your illness before traveling." The young man handed her the newly made clothes, "Try it."
It is a soft, snow-white feather dress.
When the light and shadow shine in from the beautiful window, the white feathers flow out of satin-like brilliant colors. When Xiao Baojing is worn on the body, it is like a crane elegantly folding its wings, elegant and agile.
"It's so beautiful!" She turned around in surprise, "It's also thin and warm, even warmer than my quilt! Salesman, where did you get the feathers? You must have secretly plucked the feathers from someone else's crane, right? ?”
Shang Bingjiu was holding his hands, standing in the light and smiling.
A crane couple in the mountains were robbed of several eggs by a ferocious beast, so they offered crane feathers that were not wet with water and did not burn when exposed to fire as an offering to him, and begged him to retrieve the eggs for them.
He said: "I will dress the little princess."
Xiao Baojing touched his disheveled hair and glanced at the boy again.
He was dressed differently than usual today.
Wearing a brand new crescent white Taoist robe, the shoulders and cuffs are decorated with crane feathers. It is rare that he does not wear a shawl. He uses a long crane feather to half-twist his black hair. His lips are red, his teeth are white and his bones are charming. He looks like a white crane in a fairy tale. juvenile.
He's so good looking.
Xiao Baojing thought about it and sat down in front of the dowry in embarrassment.
Shang Bingjiu tied up all her hair, leaving only the slightly curled bangs on both sides. He also put a dozen white feather hairpins on her hairpins, and put on a crescent-shaped eyebrow pendant carved from sparkling white jade. Wearing a red-threaded silver bracelet each, paired with the furry feather dress, she looked like a sweet and delicate crane.
Xiao Baojing held the bronze mirror with a look of astonishment on his face.
The salesman's dressing skills are so good!
If he could travel to her world, he could join a costume crew as a makeup artist!
She looked back: "Seller, we are dressed up so beautifully, are we going to a banquet?"
Shang Bingjiu put his hand on her forehead, paused, and said, "It's hot."
Xiao Baojing touched it himself and found that his forehead was indeed hot.
She rubbed the tip of her nose and her voice became hoarse: "Seller, I seem to have a fever. Last night I saw a person standing outside the window. She was covered in cold air. She looked at me. The temperature in the room was very low. , the stream behind her is frozen... By the way, you said the spirit is sick, do you want to see a doctor and get some medicine? "
Shang Bingjiu: "You want to be your godmother."
Xiao Baojing: "Huh?"
Shang Bingjiu: "You encountered a ghost last night. You are both sick and possessed by evil spirits."
Xiao Baojing was shocked: "Huh?! I'm a monster, and I can still be possessed by ghosts?!"
"You have not yet cultivated to adulthood, and your body is much weaker than ordinary spirits. A common illness can kill you. You are born as a tree, and I will take you to the mountains to recognize the old tree as your godmother and ask her for blessings. To exorcise you. There is a thousand-year-old willow tree in the nearby mountains. After the little princess becomes her godmother, she will not get sick again."
This was the first time Xiao Baojing heard that worshiping a willow tree as godmother could ward off evil spirits.
What is this!
She sneezed and resisted instinctively: "What if I don't pay my respects?"
"Death."
"I suddenly felt that it would be nice to have another godmother."
Xiao Baojing followed Shang Bingjiu to the mountains, and it was already midnight when he found the old willow tree.
The barren mountains and ridges, dark clouds covering the moon, were silent.
Shang Bingjiu pointed to a tree not far away: "That's the old willow tree. You go there with incense and offerings, kowtow to her three times, and she will be your godmother. After recognizing your godmother, you ask her for A willow branch, placed under your pillow when you sleep tonight, can ward off evil spirits and pray for you.”
The old willow trees swayed their branches in the night wind, like black ghosts.
Xiao Baojing was a little scared. However, what the salesman said had a nose and eyes, and he was a powerful demon subduer who understood the operating logic of the world better than she did, so she could only bite the bullet and follow it.
She approached the willow tree holding incense candles and offerings, and bravely knelt down on the ground.
She lit incense candles, presented the offerings, and cried: "Godmother, my daughter Xiao Baojing's life is miserable!"
The old willow tree stands still.
Xiao Baojing wondered if Shang Bingjiu was deliberately teasing her.
How can anyone call a willow tree "mother"?
She gave her birth date and continued wiping her tears: "My daughter was possessed by an evil spirit on the way, and she will die soon! Please also ask my godmother to think of our relatives and bless my daughter to be safe and healthy and live a long life! In the future, my daughter will take good care of herself." Honor your godmother and you will never be short of offerings at all times!”
The old willow tree remains still.
In the distance, Yaoyao was curious: "Master, why does the old willow tree ignore Her Highness the Princess?"
Shang Bingjiu glanced at a coffin board lying between Xiao Baojing and the old willow tree, and reminded with a half-smile: "Little princess, you worshiped the wrong godmother."
Xiao Baojing turned around in shock: "Isn't it the old willow tree I worship?! Then who am I worshiping?!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Shang Bingjiu's tone rose: "You worshiped this coffin board, so your godmother changed from a willow tree to this coffin board. See the coffin to make a fortune. Although this coffin board is a bit worn out, because of its age, forty It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and gathers the aura of the sun and the moon, so it is quite spiritual. If you keep her by your side, you can also ward off evil spirits.”
Xiao Baojing: "...?!"
Is she going to keep a coffin board next to her? !
"Shang Bingjiu, aren't you really trying to mess with me?!"
"No."
According to Shang Bingjiu's request, Xiao Baojing tremblingly carried the coffin board back to Bajiao Courtyard.
Although it was already midnight, Shang Bingjiu was obviously not sleepy, and even pointed out Xiao Baojing with interest, asking her to hold a banquet for the coffin board to welcome the wind.
Xiao Baojing raised the wine cup and brewed for a long time before shouting to the coffin board: "Mother..."
Yaoyao stood beside him holding a wine bottle, wanting to laugh a little.
But when she saw Xiao Baojing was about to cry, she felt embarrassed to laugh.
Xiao Baojing bit the bullet: "Mom, you always eat and drink well, but don't be polite to me! If you have any shortage, just tell me in your dream, and I'll cook it for you!"
She didn't know whether Coffin Board was willing to be her godmother.
No matter how absurd and weird this little banquet seemed, she just took it as a coffin board and agreed to take care of her. She put the coffin board next to the cage with a sullen face and covered it with a quilt with a speechless expression on her face.
It's night.
Xiao Baojing woke up from the cold again.
She lay down on the edge of the cage and looked around blearily.
The girl with the pearls on her eyebrows from last night is here again.
This time, instead of standing outside the window, he sat on the coffin board.
It's snowing inside the house.
And she looked at Xiao Baojing quietly with sadness in her eyes.
She suddenly opened her red lips lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word.
Xiao Baojing was silent for a moment and said: "Well, you sat on my godmother."
Thank you QQ for the reward!
