Chapter 8

Of course, Ji Ka Mian refused the arranged marriage.

Moreover, he feels that he is straight.

Although he has never been in love or had feelings for anyone, and usually immerses himself in studying and making money, he intuitively likes girls. Now that my grandpa is looking for him a husband, isn’t this going to embarrass him?

Grandpa Tang was also in a dilemma: "But your red line is with him."

In other words, this is a destined marriage.

Ji Ka Mian: "..."

A ghost's destiny!

Isn't he the darling of heaven? Why did Tiandao bind him to a man? Where did Heaven favor him? !

*

When she woke up the next day, Ji Mu Mian was still immersed in the bad news that she was about to have a husband. She sat on the bedside without moving for a long time.

His WeChat message suddenly rang. He came back to his senses and clicked on it.

Someone added: [I am Pei Jiujing. 】

The other person’s WeChat name is his real name, and his avatar is a dark picture with nothing visible.

Ji MuMian: "..."

Ever since he learned mysticism overnight, he knew that his fate had changed somehow. Since this blind date was arranged by heaven, he had to meet him.

He passes verification.

Pei Jiujing quickly sent a message: [At ten o'clock this Friday morning, private room No. 8, Difu Tea House, Qingyun Road. ]

Ji Ka Mian: "..."

The words are stiff, and she is probably as reluctant to go on a blind date as he is.

Thinking about it this way, he was not so repelled.

Although the person was introduced by his grandfather, and although the way of heaven tied him and the other party together, he felt that as long as they both disagreed, they should still have a chance to resist their fate.

He went to see Pei Jiujing just in time to show things off. It would be best if Pei Jiujing was as unwilling as him.

So he replied: [Okay. 】

Pei Jiujing did not reply to the message.

After making the decision, Ji Mu Mian felt much more relieved. He quickly got out of bed and washed up. He planned to go out to have breakfast and then find workers to repair the Chenghuang Temple.

He had just changed his shoes when there was a knock on the door outside.

Ji Ka Mian stayed in the hotel last night, thinking it was the cleaning lady, but when he opened the door, he saw it was Mi Ling.

He was shocked, quickly let the person in, and asked out of curiosity: "Can you walk around in broad daylight?"

Now it's almost midsummer, the sun is really strong, but the child can actually walk freely under the sun?

Mi Ling's voice was soft and soft: "Brother, it's okay."

Ji Mu Mian thought of his parents' unfathomable moral behavior, and also thought of his cousin, who was suspected of being the City God, personally asking Mi Ling to follow him. With these two factors, Mi Ling was able to It is not surprising that they are dispatched during the day.

However, does Mi Ling really want to follow him, protect him, and help him work?

This is child labor!

Mi Ling suddenly flashed her big eyes and said cutely: "My mother said that I am more than two thousand years old and I am not a child laborer."

Ji Mu Mian: "..."

Then you still call me brother = =

Mi Ling: "Brother?"

Ji Ka Mian : "...then follow me, I'm about to go out to eat. By the way, can you eat human food?"

Mi Ling nodded, then shook her head.

It's okay to eat, but he doesn't actually need to eat. He just needs to absorb the moonlight at night to practice.

Ji Ka Mian was very pleased to be able to save a sum of food expenses: "Then you accompany me to have breakfast."

Mi Ling said with a milky voice: "Okay!"

It can be seen that his personality is essentially very lively, and this is not the case. It is difficult to understand that he should be so loved by the tomb owner and his wife that he could be buried next to his parents after his early death. You must know that children who died young in ancient times may not be able to enter the ancestral graves, let alone being buried next to their parents.

Ji Kaimian held Mi Ling's hand and walked out of the hotel.

The sunlight in the summer morning was already a bit harsh, and Ji Ka Mian was still a little worried. He lowered his head and looked at Mi Ling: "Are you really okay?"

Mi Ling smiled sweetly at him: "Brother, I'm okay."

Seeing his rosy face, she really wasn't. As if something was wrong, Ji Mu Mian felt relieved and led him to find a breakfast shop.

The Chenghuang Temple and the hotel are both on Wenmiao Street. This street is very lively and lined with all kinds of small shops. For example, to the right of the Chenghuang Temple is an incense shop, and next to the incense shop are a courier store and an ice cream shop. Walking two hundred meters along the ice cream shop, there is a breakfast shop, and next to the breakfast shop is the street office and the police station... It can be said to be quite magical =

Ji Kamian and Mi Ling walked into the breakfast shop and ordered one. A portion of xiaolongbao and a bowl of wontons, as well as a bowl of mung bean porridge.

The mung bean porridge was ordered for Mi Ling. Mi Ling held up the spoon obediently and drank the porridge in small sips.

To outsiders, he is no different from ordinary human children.

Ji Kaimian smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious!" Children like to eat sweet things, and Mi Ling was very happy.

It is strange to say that the child can not only walk in broad daylight and be seen by humans, but also eat like a normal human being, and does not look like a soul at all.

Ji Kaimian suspected that his grandfather had done something to make little Mi Ling behave like a normal human child.

His eyes softened, and he suddenly remembered something he had ignored, and lowered his voice and asked, "How did you come here?"

Nanchu was in another province, far away from Tongcheng. How did Mi Ling come to Tongcheng across thousands of miles overnight? of?

Mi Ling swallowed a mouthful of porridge and whispered: "I'll be here as soon as I close my eyes~"

Ji Mu Mian: "..."

It must have been sent by his parents or cousin.

Ji Kaimian no longer bothered with such small details. After breakfast, he took Mi Ling to find someone to repair the Chenghuang Temple.

He didn't call the workers online, but asked the shop owners on the street.

After learning that he was the successor of the City God's Temple, all the shop owners gathered around him. Some asked him about his household affairs, some helped him call workers, and even negotiated the price for him = =

Grandpa Huang, the owner of the incense shop, had Whitebeard, very kind, handed a bunch of keys to the City God's Temple to Ji Mu Mian, and said with a smile: "Old Ji told me some time ago that his grandnephew would inherit the City God's Temple. He also said that his grandnephew looks like him. Very similar." He looked up and down at Ji Mu Mian, with confusion on his face, "You are so handsome and as smooth as a cabbage, how exactly do you look like your old Bang Caitang grandpa?"

Ji Mu Mian: "..."

It is not difficult to see that my cousin got along very well with these neighbors during his lifetime.

In short, every neighbor is very welcoming.

Several of the workers who came were also neighbors. Their prices were very fair, their skills were good, and they worked quickly.

In just two days, they renovated the backyard wing and even replaced the window lattice. They also removed all the weeds in the yard and the spider webs under the eaves.

The labor price and materials totaled just over 60,000.

Ji Ka Mian: "..."

Very good, not a penny left.

But the money was well spent. The City God's Temple was completely renovated, but it was also very different from the dilapidated buildings he first saw.

*

Two days later, Ji MuMian took Mi Ling and moved into the Chenghuang Temple.

Xiao Mi Ling also has a room. Although he can sleep anywhere he wants, he can occasionally go back to the Nanchu Ancient Tomb to stay with his parents.

"Do you like this color?" Ji MuMian spread the pink quilt on the bed and turned to ask Xiao Mi Ling, "Do you want to change it to blue?"

I heard that most boys like blue.

Mi Ling shook her head and said softly: "Pink, I like it."

Ji Mu Mian smiled, pinched his face, and went to clean up her room.

After everything was settled, he contacted his roommate again and asked his roommate to help him send his luggage.

Although he has been busy with studies and part-time jobs during college, his relationship with his roommates is not bad. There are four people in their dormitory, two of them are from big cities, one is from the countryside, and he is an orphan, with different origins. But they get along well because they are both kind people.

The roommates had already watched his live broadcast and called Master Ji. The only thing they were curious about was why Ji Kaimian didn't show any talent during his four years in college.

Ji MuMian: "...If I said that I suddenly awakened my talent, would you believe it?"

Roommates: "..."

Even if he is thrown into prison, he still has to believe it!

At the end of the chat, the roommates said they would find time to go to Tongcheng to see him, but it must be the Spring Festival, because one roommate had already started working, and the other two roommates had successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination and had already been arrested by their tutors to work.

After making the call, Ji Ka Mian sat under the eaves, and Xiao Mi Ling each held half of the watermelon and ate it.

He was now completely settled, feeling more relaxed than ever before, and finally feeling leisurely and enjoying the environment of the City God's Temple.

It was obviously a hot summer afternoon, and it was extremely hot outside, but it was very cool inside the Chenghuang Temple. There was no feeling of heat at all. I don’t know whether it was because of the formations arranged in the temple, or because there were many trees in the temple.

"That's great." A gust of cool wind blew, and Ji Mu Mian squinted his eyes in contentment, swallowed a mouthful of watermelon, and murmured with emotion.

Little Mi Ling sat on a small stool, swaying her feet, imitating him, closing her eyes and feeling the cool breeze, and putting watermelon in her mouth: "It's so good~"

The child ate happily, with watermelon juice all over her mouth.

Ji Kaemian laughed softly.

He is an orphan and has been alone since he was a child. Now that he has a child with him, he feels very different in his heart, as if he is worried about him.

It was now 4:30 in the afternoon, and he was going to go to the vegetable market. Today was the first day he moved into the Chenghuang Temple, so he should turn it on and treat it as a warm house.

He also planned to treat the neighbors to dinner on the weekend. After all, everyone had helped a lot in repairing the Chenghuang Temple in the past two days, so he happened to go to the vegetable market to get familiar with it.

After finishing the watermelon, he got up and packed it up, and said to Mi Ling: "Let's go shopping with my brother."

Xiao Mi Ling only ate half of the watermelon, and his belly became bulging. He obediently hugged the remaining watermelon. When they got to the kitchen, they also washed their hands and face. They ran back and grabbed Ji MuMian's two fingers: "Brother, let's go~"

As soon as the two of them reached the gate, a car drove up and stopped in front of them. , a young girl got out of the car.

Ji Ka Mian glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Gummy Bear?"

The person who came was none other than the bear.

She asked the driver to wait in the car, walked up to Ji MuMian, and called out respectfully, "Master Ji."

Ji MuMian glanced at her belly and frowned, "Your child..."

"No more." Little Bear lowered his head. He stroked his belly and said in a very soft voice, "I just realized that Tan Mingzhou had given me the medicine for abortion a long time ago. He put the medicine in the grape juice. Not only did I not drink it, but I also happily felt that he was very considerate. " She took a deep breath

and said , "The baby is already five months old and is not suitable for medical abortion. In order to make the fetus fall, Tan Mingzhou used a lot of force... I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again..." Finally, her tone was a bit hateful.

Ji Ka Mian was not good at comforting people and didn't know what to say.

Little Bear raised his head, and the hatred in his eyes turned into apology: "Master Ji, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a liar in the live broadcast room."

Ji Mu Mian said calmly, "It's okay."

Anyway, he slapped him in the face and went back.

Xiaoxiong was silent for a few seconds and said, "I came here to thank you for saving me and waking me up from the lies that Tan Mingzhou spun, and to pray for my child." She paused and her expression became sad, " I have no fate with the child, I just hope that he will be reborn in a good family in the next life."

She came to pray for the child without even having a confinement period, because she felt ashamed of the child.

Ji MuMian could see that she came to offer incense sincerely, so he didn't stop her.

In fact, the gummy bears are the first pilgrims and believers in the Chenghuang Temple. This morning, neighbors also came to the temple to pay incense, but the gummy bears were really attracted by Ji Kaemian. For Ji Kaemian, The first pilgrim indeed.

The little bear bowed to the City God respectfully.

The statue of the City God is a bit old, but fortunately the workers had cleaned it up before, and it looked quite intimidating.

There is also a carved wooden box placed next to the base of the statue, which contains the two books, which were specially provided by Ji Kapok.

Speaking of which, Ji Mumian carefully looked at the statue of the City God, and it looked nothing like the grandfather in his dream, but for some reason, he always felt that his grandfather was the City God.

Before leaving, Little Bear donated 200,000 incense money to the Chenghuang Temple.

Her parents had a big business and the family was not short of money. She had been pampered and raised, and it was precisely because she had been well protected since she was a child that she was deceived by a scumbag like Tan Mingzhou.

"You saved my life. This incense is not worth anything. Please accept it." She was very sincere.

Ji Kaimian did not refuse in the end.

With these 200,000, we can build a golden body for the City God.

When Little Bear left, Ji Mumian gave her a word: "You will be safe and smooth in the future."

Little Bear bowed deeply to him with a pious expression: "Thank you, Master."

·

Knowing that his golden body was found, Grandpa Tang I didn't know how happy I was when I fell asleep at night. I praised Ji Kaimian for two full minutes and planned to sing a grateful song to Ji Kaimian.

Ji Ka Mian: ...That’s not necessary!

Grandpa Tang looked regretful and reminded him: "Remember to see your husband tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Friday.

Ji Ka Mian: "..."

You might as well sing the Divine Comedy!

*

When Ji Mu Mian woke up the next day, she thought about going to see her husband soon... bah, going on a blind date, and she felt in a trance.

Before setting off, Mi Ling grabbed his sleeve and asked in a sweet voice, "Brother, my mother said I'm a loser. Will my sister-in-law... dislike me?"

In order to adapt to modern society, he has changed the name of his mother to his mother. For mom.

Ji Kaimian: "..."

You haven't even written your horoscope yet, and you're calling me sister-in-law?

He flicked the child's forehead: "Is it okay for you to stay alone in the temple?"

Mi Ling: "No problem, I can go back to find my parents."

Although we are thousands of miles apart, he wants to go back Still very easy.

Ji Mu Mian and Mi Ling waved their hands, locked the gate of the Town God's Temple, and took a taxi to Difu Teahouse on Qingyun Road.

On the way, the more he thought about it, the more senseless he became.

After adding WeChat that day, Pei Jiujing only sent him his address and then stopped talking to him, and he didn't chat with Pei Jiujing either. He didn't know how old Pei Jiujing was, what he looked like, and what he did for a living. To him, everything about Pei Jiujing was strange.

"Forget it, let's wait until we see him." He looked at the sunlight shining on the car window and stepped back frame by frame, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the teahouse and entered the private room.

There was already a man sitting in the private room.

The man was wearing a black suit and his face was unbelievably handsome. He was much prettier than the most handsome male celebrity Ji Ka Mian had ever seen. Compared with his handsome face, the man's aura is more intimidating. Even when he is sitting there, he exudes a strong sense of majesty and superiority.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the man raised his eyes and met his.

Ji Mumian walked over and said, "Hello, are you Pei Jiujing?"

Pei Jiujing nodded and said in a low and clear voice: "Sit down."

The two sat face to face. Pei Jiujing signaled Ji Mumian to order, and then said slowly: "My name in the human world is Pei Jiujing, director of the General Bureau of Special Administration. "

What is the General Administration of Special Administration?" He grasped the key point: "Your name in the human world?"

Pei Jiujing said, "I also have a name called Pei Jiu. "Everyone in the underworld calls me that."

In fact, no one in the underworld dares to call him by his first name. He has not heard the word Pei Jiu for about thousands of years.

Ji MuMian was surprised: "... Hades? Underworld?"

Pei Jiujing: "Yeah."

Ji MuMian looked at him blankly.

Pei Jiujing looked calm and let him watch.

After a while, Ji MuMian finally said: "In other words, you are not a human?"

Pei Jiujing: "...You can say that."

Ji MuMian blinked: "Really? I don't believe it, unless you become a ghost Show me."

Pei Jiujing: "..."
