Chapter 176 It’s Not Easy to Be a Ghost Messenger in the Underworld (37)
There are regular parades in the human world, and naturally there are also parades in the underworld.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Banquet is a typical example.
This street has witnessed many emotions and many simple things.
Because it is the underworld, there are all kinds of underworld flowers on both sides of the street, flashing colorful lights, making the street even more beautiful.
Shi Qi walked while feeling the peace in his heart.
"Mr. Qi is here. I have some new and interesting things here. Would you like to take a look?" A waiter poked his head out of the shop and said enthusiastically.
Shi Qi waved his hand: "No, you guys have fun today, I'm here to look for someone."
I don’t know what this guy Di Liao is up to. In previous years, the two of them always attended the night banquets together.
But he has been nowhere to be seen today, which is really strange.
The waiter was stunned, then smiled and said, "Looking for someone? Are you looking for Mr. Liao? I just saw him going to the deep street."
Shi Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and left.
Today the moon has a bloody color, surrounded by stars, glowing faintly.
As Shi Qi was walking, he was attracted by a fan shop on the side.
When he got closer, he saw all kinds of paintings, landscapes, ink... They were so beautiful that they immediately caught Shi Qi's attention.
He asked quietly, "Shopkeeper? How much is this?"
A white jade fan in the woman's slender and white hands looks elegant and refined.
The dark blue ripples are delicately dotted, and a faint shadow accompanies the mountains and rivers, giving it a unique charm.
"Mr. Qi, you have a good eye. This is a new item. It contains a high-level talisman that can save your life at a critical moment. It may be a bit expensive, about 1000 ghost coins." The waiter said happily with a flattering look on his face.
Shi Qi raised his eyes and nodded: "Well, this is it."
Tu Tu said in disbelief: "Host, you...what's wrong with you? This is your monthly salary!"
Shi Qi paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something.
I...seem to be very poor this time!
Whatever, that's all. Besides, this jade fan really suits Di Liao.
In previous years, he always gave gifts, and this year, she should also show some appreciation.
"Excuse me for being so nosy, but this fan was prepared by Master Qi Er for the person he likes?" the waiter asked gossipingly.
Taking the fan, Shi Qi denied it calmly: "No, I gave it to an old friend of mine."
The waiter paused and said with a smile, "Ah, I see. Haha, speaking of this, I heard that Mr. Liao has someone he likes. It seems that he has been preparing for a long time to express his feelings."
Shi Qi was stunned and asked in confusion: "Di Liao? The girl you like?"
"Yes, yes, I don't know who has such good fortune." The waiter said happily.
Shi Qi's eyes flashed with relief, and he smiled lightly: "This kid has finally come to his senses. I'm afraid there is no girl in the underworld who doesn't like him, right?"
"Of course I am. I am sorry for being rude. I won't delay you, Master Qi Er." The waiter said, scratching his head with an apologetic look on his face.
Shi Qi didn't stay any longer. He put away his fan and walked towards the deep street.
The deep streets are somewhat desolate and quiet. Without the hustle and bustle, it is more suitable for strolling and chatting.
But today's Shen Street is very different.
There are lanterns reaching to the sky, and there are dark flowers surrounding it, and there are fireflies dancing and playing, and there is also the original owner’s favorite... Lycoris radiata.
This strange combination, although somewhat unbelievable, is also very intoxicatingly beautiful.
Who has the ability to bring here the Lycoris radiata that only blooms in the underworld?
This is...very strenuous.
Coming back to his senses from the beautiful scenery, Shi Qi continued to walk deeper into the cave with a fan in his hand.
After all, it was a tacit understanding that had been built over the years, and she felt that Di Liao was not far away.
Suddenly, Shi Qi stopped.
I saw a huge crowd of people in front of me, tightly surrounding something. Their expressions were somewhat curious and full of surprise.
For a moment, the street, which was already narrow, was completely blocked.
Shi Qi looked at the crowded crowd and frowned slightly: "Please make way."
The tiny sound was obviously nothing in the crowd, but the people surrounded obviously had extraordinary hearing.
Shi Qi took a step back and was about to fly over, only to see the noisy crowd suddenly quiet down and disperse in all directions, with faces as normal as if nothing had happened.
The people who were surrounded gradually appeared.
The man was dressed in a red robe, gilded with gold, with unparalleled elegance and a handsome face.
The most eye-catching thing is a pair of fiery eyes that are faintly glowing red, and thousands of strands of white hair that flutter in the wind.
The domineering standing posture makes people fall in love with her at first sight.
The little fire ball in my arms is resting with his eyes closed. Everything is beautiful.
Just standing there, the scenery around you will become dim.
But what seemed a little strange was the man's eyes and the candied haws on his lips.
"Qiqi, haha, you hid here. Well, Nannan looked for you for a long time. Well, Nannan was just a little hungry, so... I only ate one!" The man said, blinking aggrievedly, and quickly hid the candied haws behind him.
Shi Qi came back to his senses, looked at Ming Nan in front of him... and fell into deep confusion.
"You've got the wrong person." Shi Qi said coldly, trying to walk around the man.
Ming Nan paused, his eyes instantly filled with mist: "How could that be? You are angry, right? Well, I shouldn't talk to other little palace maids. But you always avoid me, and I...I am just angry. Here...if you are still angry, the rest will be yours."
The man said reluctantly, his expression looking both pitiful and arrogant.
Shi Qi: “…”
"Qiqi! How old are you? You still let me coax you! I'm already five years old...well, don't you have any face?!" Seeing that Qiqi was unmoved, the man became a little angry and his face flushed slightly.
Shi Qi: “…”
What is this? Being immersed in a situation? Directing and acting by yourself? So...fantasy.
"I told you, you've got the wrong person. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Shi Qi said as he walked around the man.
Before I took two steps, I suddenly felt a weight on my back.
"Stinky Qiqi, don't even think about running away. I've been looking for you for a long time!" said the man, taking a bite of the candied haws angrily.
Shi Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just now, she found out about Mingnan.
How could such a good man suddenly become mentally retarded?
He has the intelligence of a child now, she can't just throw him away.
"Mingnan, come down." Shi Qi softened his voice and said coldly.
"! You called my name, you are Qiqi. Good Qiqi, come home with me quickly, my mother said that I will stick with you forever." The man's proud smile was very naive, and his hot breath sprayed on Shi Qi's neck, which made her feel a little itchy.
Shi Qi tilted his head and was about to say something when his cheeks felt hot.
Shi Qi: ...!
It's sticky and covered with saliva, you don't have to think about it to know what it is!
"...Come down first and we'll talk."
"Haha, Qiqi is so weak. How come she can't even carry little Mingnan?" The man jumped down with a sweet smile on his face.
In those eyes, there were twinkling stars, reflecting only Shi Qi.
For a moment, Shi Qi was stunned.
Mingnan has always been stunningly beautiful, but she always has a stern face.
At this moment, the wanton sweet smile, with her back to the extremely romantic blood moon, seemed to be charming.
The brilliant and bright Mingnan...Xuan Qi had never seen it before.
Mingnan, because it was so painful, you created a beautiful dream for yourself...right?
Some...I can't bear to break them.
"I'm just a ghost messenger. His Majesty Pluto really has recognized the wrong person." Shi Qi came to his senses, took a step back and said coldly.
She has always known that the most painful thing is to have something and then lose it.
So sorry, I'm really...not the one for you.
I can't... make your dream come true.
What's more, waking up from the dream is scary.
The man seemed stunned. It was not until the person disappeared that he came to his senses and rubbed his hands helplessly.
"How could that be? I will never admit my mistake. Qiqi, do you... no longer like me?" He murmured in a low voice filled with loneliness, and then it disappeared into the clouds.
......
In the Mask Shop, the old lady was sitting in a rocking chair, looking forward to the outcome of the two.
The door was opened again, and the old lady smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you nervous again? Mr. Liao has come back and forth three times, and the party will be over soon."
Strangely, this time the man just closed the door and didn't respond for a long time.
"Why aren't you talking? Did you forget to bring your mask this time?" The old lady stood up and walked towards the door.
The man's voice suddenly came: "Mother-in-law, I'll leave this mask with you for now. I don't think I've waited for her."
"Grandma, I remember that mask wall, there was still one spot missing. Suddenly I thought... it would be a good idea to fill it up. This way... no one else will need it." The man's voice sounded like a laugh, but very sad.
"Di Liao...you..." The old lady paused.
"You're right. Some gifts are really hard to give away."
At the door, the man in white robe lowered his head slightly, his expression could not be seen clearly, and he held an exquisite mask in his white, calloused hands.
Maybe it was windy, the mask was shaking violently.
But...how can there be wind inside the house?
