Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

After the sun goes down, the banquet begins. Before that, there was either the sound of chanting sutras or the pungent incense, and sometimes the sound of stomping feet and loud laughter, which was quite noisy, but there was no strange thing related to the protagonist's ghost. As the guest specified, the black and white dishes are all on the black lacquerware square dining table.If Shirakoya cooks white beans, Asadaya cooks black beans.There are also tofu topped with white sesame sauce; soft boiled kelp is wrapped in small fish that is also boiled black; taro is boiled soft and grated, wrapped in seasoned squid and made into a round shape; small turnips cut into chrysanthemums Dip in sweet vinegar and sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top.

The soup is clear soup, and the soup ingredients are the "frog egg" jelly that made Ah Ling do evil a few days ago, but today's "frog egg" wafts out the fragrance of kelp soup.Taiichiro said to Ateng who delivered the soup in the kitchen: The most important thing about this soup is to drink it at the right time, and the action must be fast. "The uniqueness of this soup is that when the soup comes into the mouth, the soup material will melt in the mouth. Therefore, I hope that the guests will not use chopsticks when drinking the soup. In other words, if the guests think that the soup does not need to use chopsticks, it means that The soup did the trick."

The grilled dish is grilled conger eel.It's just that today is a vegetarian feast on the surface, so of course the whole fish can't be given away.When the oil oozes from the edge of the conger eel skin, pick out the fish meat while it is hot, mash it in a mortar, mix in yam, soup and egg white, and then pour it into a container to solidify.The finished product looks like tofu at first glance, but it is finished with the thickened sauce.The ones for Shirako-ya can be sent out like this, but what about the ones for Asada-ya?Taiichiro covered the conger eel tofu with a thin layer of seaweed, and the seaweed softly adhered to the tofu due to the heat of the conger eel tofu. This was done.This dish has an aroma of seawater. The ingenious thing is that when you cut it with chopsticks, the seaweed that has absorbed moisture will be mixed into the white conger eel tofu. As you eat, the conger eel tofu will gradually turn black.

Conger eel is also used in deep-fried dishes.Shirakoya’s is deep-fried with thin slices of melon and fruit, served with salt mixed with pomelo peel; Asada’s is stuffed into shiitake mushroom gills and deep-fried, seasoned with black tempura dipping sauce with a lot of soy sauce. Taiichiro has a headache for stewed dishes.Seasonal vegetables come in a variety of colors and are pleasing to the eye, but it would be wasteful for a chef to force these ingredients to be white or black.However, it seems boring to directly choose taro and kelp for convenience. Taiichiro and Shimaji thought about it, and finally decided to use early-ripening pumpkins.Baiziwu's is to peel off all the pumpkin skins, add salt and sugar to boil it into a light taste, then mash it and stuff it into boiled eggs cut in half and remove the yolks, put them face down in a white bowl, and finally pour over boiled eggs. Pumpkin soup; Asada's is unpeeled pumpkin boiled in soy sauce, and then served in lacquerware with shiitake mushrooms and black beans boiled in soy sauce.In order to bring out the luster of the ingredients, it takes a lot of work to make.

The last dish of Baiziwu is white rice, with a bowl of ginger-flavored chicken soup, and white radish as a pickle.If there is oil slick on the chicken soup, customers can tell it is chicken soup at a glance. It must be filtered many times and the oil slick is frequently scooped out until the soup becomes transparent, and then sprinkled with tofu skin that can absorb the oil slick.In order to get rid of the chicken smell, the trick is to add cooking wine to taste.The last dish of Asada House is dark handmade soba noodles. Although there is no soup, there are two kinds of soba noodles: one is ordinary bonito sauce, and the other is eggplant in red miso soup. The smell is aggravated.The red miso soup uses dark miso, which deepens the color of the eggplant skin and makes the seasoning look darker.

Hojicha is served first after the meal, followed by Gyokuro tea and dessert.Shirakoya's is white bean stuffed glutinous rice balls and white glutinous rice balls topped with white sugar sauce; Asada's is black yokan, and gray glutinous rice balls mixed with red bean paste, topped with brown sugar sauce. "The guests seemed to be enjoying themselves." After Ateng delivered the dessert, he ran back to the kitchen with the tray and reported to Taiichiro.Her cheeks were flushed with excitement. "Especially the people in Asada, they said that they thought they would eat a pile of seaweed or kelp, but they guessed wrong."

Especially the conger eel tofu is very popular.When the boss Yujiro cut the tofu with his chopsticks, he shouted: "Ah, isn't this white?" He shouted loudly as if he had finally found something wrong.But as Yujiro talked, he found that the conger eel and seaweed in the bowl gradually mixed together, and finally turned black, which made him convinced and admired. "And he said he was going to overturn the table if we got a chance to deliver the burnt stuff. Didn't think we could." Taiichiro wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and said with a happy smile: "Even if the customer's offer is strict, it is impossible for the restaurant to deliver burnt things to the customer. The boss of Asada House is really confused."

After all the meals were served, the guests invited Taiichiro and Shimaji to their respective rooms to say hello. "Now you have to be honest with your guests that it's not really vegetarian." Shimaji loosened the tie on his sleeves and said to Taiichiro solemnly.Unlike Taiichiro, when Ateng came to report excitedly, he still frowned. "We used conger eel and chicken without authorization, and we will only be successful if the customer is still satisfied after explaining." Taiichiro nodded, and said, "When I was cooking, I completely forgot that this banquet was held for an exorcism competition."

"The most important thing for us is the dish itself." Ah Ling still hid behind the stairs, watching the two come out of the kitchen after packing up their clothes.Then she noticed something, behind the somewhat tired but cheerful father and the bowed Shimaji, the ghost that resembled Shimaji appeared again. Ah Ling opened her eyes wide and almost stood up.The ghost's expression was even more unhappy than when he saw it just now. His eyes were both angry and hateful, and he stared coldly at Shimaji's thin back. Taiichiro and Shimaji went upstairs to the tatami room, and the ghost followed them silently.Anxious Ah Ling hesitated for a while, but decided to follow them.Taiichiro walked into Shirakoya's room first, the paper door was open, the lights in the room were projected on the corridor, and lively conversation burst out.That inarticulate voice should belong to Chobei.Ah Ling wondered, is there wine provided at today's banquet?

Fortunately, Duohui and Ateng were not in the corridor. Aling pressed her body tightly against the wall and listened to the conversation in the room. Taiichiro seemed to be explaining today's cooking.It seems that no ghosts appeared at today's banquet.No, what is more important now is where is that ghost that looks like Shimaji?Ah Ling looked around, but she couldn't see the ghost with the fierce expression just now. "A bit too salty." A young girl's voice said so.It's Ah Jing. "Salt can drive away evil spirits, and food that is too salty will prevent me from summoning spirits."

Taiichiro replied cautiously in a low voice: "So, Miss today didn't succeed?" "Yes, I can't say it was very successful." Ah Jing replied simply and smartly, "It's just... I felt a miasma, a soul with strong energy, because it was too strong, and when I first entered the room, my head hurt. gosh." "Really, this child turned blue as soon as she entered the room." Axiu's voice continued, "Let her drink water and stroke her back, and finally regain her senses." "So, Miss, can't eat..." Taiichiro seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, his voice was hoarse.Ah Ling pricked up her ears.If you can't eat it, how do you know it's too salty? You should eat some. "Has the turban not been removed?" Shimaji asked.He usually speaks coldly, but now his voice is still stiff and not smooth enough.What surprised Ah Ling even more was that Ah Jing still seemed to be wearing that weird headscarf, so how would she eat? "This turban is very important." Axiu said angrily, "This turban is needed when summoning souls, do you have any objections?" Taiichiro hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "That's not what I mean, lady boss. We don't intend to cause trouble, but we just want to know if the guests are satisfied with today's dishes?" "Didn't it mean it was too salty?" Axiu said domineeringly, "It's all the fault of these dishes that I didn't succeed in recruiting spirits." A-Ling thought it was a bit ridiculous, she kept her mouth tightly shut and tried not to laugh out loud.What, it turned out that Ah Jing failed.Or is she trying to reason that when she came to exorcise the evil spirits earlier, she removed them too cleanly? The laughing monk didn't think that Ah Jing had spiritual power at first. He said that Ah Jing didn't even notice her father's illness, and dared to call herself a psychic.Even the ghost said so, so it shouldn't be wrong.Ah Ling also wanted to ask Ah Jing: Among the ghosts I saw in this room, did you see anyone? "I'm really sorry." Taiichiro's voice was very calm, and there was no discomfort at all.A-Ling thought, Abba is really amazing, he can take into account the position of the shop and suppress his emotions.Generally speaking, chefs have strong self-esteem, but self-esteem alone cannot do business.If you don't humble yourself to your guests, you won't get what you deserve. "We should act more carefully and listen carefully to everyone's opinions before deciding on the menu." "Exactly." Axiu reprimanded without explanation.Ah Ling thought to herself that this aunt is really arrogant. "However, when the lady came to the house earlier, she didn't look uncomfortable at all, and she also said some considerate words to us, so we can rest assured..." Before Taiichiro finished speaking, Ah Jing suddenly interjected: "Before? I have been here?" "Yes, Miss, didn't you come here alone? I looked at the room and practiced exorcism, saying that it was to get rid of the evil spirit in the room." Ah Jing raised her voice and said, "What?" "How could my daughter come here alone? It's absolutely impossible!" Axiu seemed to be very nervous, and her voice became louder, "How can you talk nonsense like this! What exactly do you mean?" "us……" "Shut up!" There was a sudden clatter in the room, as if someone knocked over the food table, or slapped the food table vigorously. "I see. Did Asada tell you to say that, right? They want you to talk nonsense to disturb Ah Jing's heart, and you also deliberately serve too salty dishes to hinder Ah Jing, intending to embarrass us, right? You said ! How much money did Asada give you?” Now things are in trouble!There were footsteps on the stairs, either Duohui or Ateng.They heard the sound and might go upstairs to check.Ah Ling, who had nowhere to hide, was in a panic in the corridor. It would be terrible if she was discovered! At this moment, a gust of cold wind brushed Ah Ling's cheeks, and Ah Mi suddenly appeared in front of the handrail of the stairs.Ah Mi emerged from the empty dark place like a curtain, and floated to Ah Ling's side.She was dressed in the same way as before the banquet, and the combination of hair bun and yukata looked a little thin at this moment when it was completely dark. "Don't move, I'll hide you." Ah Mi knelt down next to Ah Ling, covering Ah Ling with her body as if to protect her. "Is it okay to hide behind Ami like this?" "Well, hide away. Although it's a bit cold, don't be surprised." The incident happened so suddenly that Ah Ling didn't have time to ask carefully, could her translucent body really hide people?She shrunk her body as much as possible and hid behind the slender Ami, and couldn't help but want to cling to her intangible back and shoulders. Duohui checked the situation on the second floor worriedly and climbed up the stairs.During this period, the anger in Baizi's room became more and more intense, and the voices of Axiu and Ajing also became louder.Taiichiro's voice of persuading them to calm down was covered, and he could not hear clearly intermittently. Someone opened the paper door of Asada's room, and Ateng showed his head.It seems that after serving the guests, she stayed in the room to chat with the guests.There was still a half smile on A Teng's face, but as a waitress for many years, just realizing that the customer might be angry was enough to make her whole body nervous.She is also nervous now. Behind Ateng, Alu from Asada also poked his head out.Alu and her husband, Matsuzaburo, held hands, hunched their necks to look at the situation, with a smile on their faces.She seemed very interested in what was going on at Baiziwu. "Oh, oh," Ami smiled wryly, "I'm so honest, I'm still laughing." "Asada probably thought he had won." Ami turned her head slightly, and asked, "Win? Win for what?" "The exorcism competition. Miss A Jing from Baiziwu admitted that she failed today." Ah Mi raised her throat and laughed, "Oh, Ah Ling, no one has won or lost. Look, has anyone among them seen me and Ah Ling?" No one saw it.How could they see it? "I know, Grandpa Laughing Monk also said that they are unreliable. Although I don't know what Miss A Jing and Miss A Lu will do, at least in this family, they can see less than me." "yes." Ami nodded, looking sideways at the young couple in Asada's house quietly approaching Shirako's room.Weijiro and Ah Chu also followed, and Ateng desperately tried to persuade the four of them to return to the room, but the dispute in Shirako's room intensified, and Ateng's efforts were all in vain. "What's the matter? What the hell is Shirako House arguing about?" Weijiro looked around the room curiously, shaking his stomach, "The game is coming up, how can you make trouble?" "But," A-Ling huddled next to A-mi and continued, "Whether their ability to summon souls is real or not is completely different from winning or losing the exorcism competition. Neither Dad nor Mom can talk to A-mi like I do. You can listen to the unilateral rhetoric of Shirako-ya and Asada-ya. Moreover, the spirit-exorcism competition cannot be decided indefinitely." "That's right. It's true. It's a troublesome thing." "I should have stopped it sooner." Regret pierced A-Ling's chest deeply, and she was very angry with herself. "I shouldn't let them take over the ghost competition banquet. Just tell my parents what I saw, so that I won't be used by those liars. I'm still looking forward to Miss A Jing and Miss A Lu If you really have spiritual power, maybe it can help you ascend to heaven smoothly, I am really a fool." Ah Ling couldn't help but tell the truth.Ami looked at her tenderly and smiled silently. "But Grandpa Laughing Monk said he didn't want to ascend to heaven, and he also said that Gennosuke-sama thinks the same way. Yes, he definitely doesn't want to disappear. Ami thinks the same way, right? I'm too stupid." The current situation is not an exorcism contest at all, and it is not even a banquet. It is just that the two families who are at odds ruined Taiichiro's hard work, ruined the banquet, and took the opportunity to quarrel. Ah Mi comforted the tearful Ah Ling and said, "You can't cry now, I understand how you feel, you don't have to blame yourself so much, now just worry about how this scuffle will end." Everyone in Asada came to the corridor and whispered to each other.At this time, someone seemed to overturn the food case again in Bai Ziwu's room.Duo Hui apologized frequently, and wanted to help Ateng persuade everyone in Asada House to return to their rooms, but it was in vain.Wei Zhilang rudely pushed Duohui away and wanted to break into Baizi's house, but Duohui who was pushed away hit the wall, Ah Ling was so angry that she wanted to rush out. "Shh, don't move." Ah Mi stopped Ah Ling and said, "Look, Ah Ling." Ah Ling looked along A Mi's fingertips, almost screamed, quickly pressed her mouth with both hands, and froze in place. At some point, Pengfa was already standing by the handrail of the stairs.He was the same as the last time he appeared, with disheveled clothes, slumped shoulders, half-closed eyes, looking at people with hanging eyes.He was panting as if he had just run over, holding the gleaming white blade in his right hand, and his half-loose belt was hanging down the corridor. The light leaking from the room shone on him, but there was no shadow on the ground. "It really came out." Ami blinked, her eyes were full of sympathy for some reason, "Maybe it came out after hearing a woman's voice, and it was like this last time." Ami was referring to the Tsutsuya banquet.Ah Ling couldn't take her eyes off Pengfa's body, she clasped her thumping chest tightly with both hands, and held her breath. "That time in Tsutsuya, the big boss was almost killed..." "Yes, but that time he came out only after hearing the voice of the young proprietress of the Tsutsuya, and it's the same this time." "Ami, do you know about that samurai?" "I don't know anything, I'm just guessing. Did Ah Xuan say anything?" "He didn't say anything, he said he didn't know." "Me too. But that man must have had something to do with a woman. My intuition is definitely not wrong about this kind of thing." Ah Ling asked herself in her heart: What kind of thing does this kind of thing refer to?Ah Mi seemed to hear Ah Ling's inner voice. "It must be related to love." Ami replied with a smile, "Aling, don't move, just hide." As a result, a group of people who were arguing in the corridor with your words and my words all crowded into Bai Ziwu's room, and someone in the room was screaming.At that moment, Ah Ling thought that Pengfa would be stimulated by screaming and make trouble again, so she shivered.But he just heaved his shoulders up and down, panting, and didn't move a step. After hearing the scream, Pengfa's eyes came back to life, and he stared blankly ahead.Ah Ling found that his eyes were bloodshot. "That man..." Ah Ling said with goosebumps on her arms, "it looks like a person who has lost his mind after drinking alcohol." "It's drunk." Ami corrected, "Aling, have you ever seen such a grown-up?" One of Takadaya Shichibei's old friends made trouble when he drank. When Ah Ling was three years old, he once drank and quarreled in Takadaya. At that time, Ah Xian hid in the closet holding A Ling.Although she forgot the details, Ah Ling clearly remembered the man's bloodshot eyes and the strong body odor after he left.The smell was mixed with the smell of sweat and alcohol, which was disgusting, but it also had a snack-like sweetness, which made people hairy. "You've had enough trouble!" A piercing scream resounded all around.Weijiro rolled out of the corridor with a bang, and immediately after, Ah Chu also fell on his big belly. "That's why I said I don't want to get involved with those people! We are too stupid to hold some ridiculous exorcism competition with them! These people will do anything to belittle Ah Jing!" "What? Say it again and see!" Yujiro struggled to get up, refuted without admitting defeat, spit profusely from his mouth.Ah Ling thought to herself, it's so dirty!The corner of his eyes was fixed on Pengfa, making sure that he stayed where he was and didn't move a step.Ah Ling was as calm as an adult, observing everything in front of her.At the same time, because of regret, anger, surprise, and fear, cold sweat broke out on her back. If possible, she really wanted to hug Ami. rattling rattling!Gudong Gudong!There were sounds of things being broken one after another, and Taiichiro shouted frequently: "Stop!" Then, Shimaji fell out and rolled to the corridor, propping his hands on the ground. "You lowly chefs know nothing!" shouted the Changbei of Baiziwu, "You are not allowed to touch Ah Jing! Don't pretend to understand! We are going back! Never come to such an unpleasant place again Already!" "Win or lose has yet to be determined!" Wei Zhirou yelled back with his hands on the paper door, "My A Lu is different from your A Jing, it is the real thing, you just need to compare it to find out. In order to let the world see the truth , we agreed to hold this kind of inexplicable competition. Don’t try to escape just because the cowhide is going to be pierced, it’s not that cheap! Big liar! I’m going to tell the whole Edo, we’ll see how embarrassing you are when the time comes, you deserve it!” "I'm not a fake!" Ah Jing cried. Hearing her cry, Pengfa reacted, his whole body trembled, and his mouth opened wide.Ah Ling became nervous, as if Pengfa was about to raise the hand holding the knife in the next moment, rushing into the room and waving it again... At this moment, Shimaji suddenly stood up, his face was like a badly carved mask, without any expression.His face was as pale as cotton, and his eyes were as black as knotholes in the board wall, unable to reflect any light. Ah Ling looked horrified.Ami stiffened her neck and narrowed her eyes. The ghost appeared again behind Shimaji, Shimaji's back was almost touching the ghost's abdomen, and the distance continued to get closer—closer—closer—the ghost's translucent body finally completely overlapped Shimaji. "Get out all of you." Shimaji's voice seemed to come from the ground, trembling and hoarse, "Get out all of you. Get out all of you! If you don't get out again, be careful that I will kill you." The crowd fell silent in fright.Shimaji shook his upper body, a stream of saliva drooping from the corner of his mouth. "Oh, oh." Pengfa made a sound.Ah Ling immediately turned her head to look at him, and saw Peng Peng's bloodshot eyes welling up with tears. "How dare you talk to us like that..." Shirakoya Changhei glared at Shimaji and said viciously, "No matter how rude you are to the guests, you have to be modest, you idiot!" Chobei raised his fist and threw himself on Shimaji to beat him.Everyone thought that Shimaji, who was shaking like a scarecrow standing in a strong wind, would be vulnerable, but Shimaji quickly dodged like a cat and circled behind Chobei. "Boss Baiziwu, it's dangerous!" Someone yelled a warning, and the yelling didn't stop, Changbei had already been kicked by Shimaji and fell forward.Shimaji rode on his back, holding his neck tightly with both hands, Chobei let out a short cry, and soon he couldn't make a sound or breathe, struggled with his hands and feet, and his face flushed instantly. "dad!" Ah Jing screamed and ran over.The people who stood there dumbfounded heard Ah Jing's cry, and then they came back to their senses as if cold water had been poured on them, and rushed towards Daoci. Ah Ling opened her mouth wide to watch this sudden farce.Ami kept silent and squinted slightly, staring intently at the scene in front of her. Peng dazedly stood beside the shouting, beating and grabbing crowd, crying non-stop.If his tears were strung together, they could be strung together into a rosary, just enough for Ah Ling to wear on her hand.It was a large, pure tear large enough to make a rosary, sparkling. Ah Ling looked at the scuffle in front of her and the puffy hair crying like a child in turn. She felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that this kind of thing happened in her family.The scene in front of me was too ridiculous. "Stop it! Do you want to kill the boss of Baiziwu?" Asada yelled and spit at Jiro, and broke Shimaji's hand that was pinching Chobei's neck.Changbei let out a wheeze from his throat, and crawled away while coughing. "Hey, oops." Ami was taken aback, raised her voice and said, "Aling, look!" Shimaji, who was suppressed by Koijiro and Taiichiro, suddenly became quiet, bent his knees and hung his head weakly, like a puppet with broken strings.Ah Ling saw the ghost that resembled Shimaji floating out of Shimaji. "Hey, you." Ami quickly stood up and spoke to the ghost, questioning it like a plucked string, "It's outrageous that you break into other people's territory and make trouble. Who the hell are you?" The adults had to take care of Nagabei and carried the unconscious Shimaji to the room, causing confusion.Ah Ling stood behind Ah Mi, leaning her hands on the wall to prop herself up—his knees were trembling—her hands were sweating, and cold sweat was streaming down her body. Ami, who was confronting the male ghost, had a horrifying expression, her fingernails became sharp instantly, and her mouth was poisonous.She retracted her chin and stood firm again, gradually accumulating strength in her body, so that she could take the opportunity to pounce on it at any time. The ghost facing Amy raises the right corner of his mouth, and seems to be smiling, his eyes are shining brightly, reminiscent of the picture of the sun reflecting on the oil slick on the water. "It's obviously a woman with a really rough tone, sister." The ghost shook his hanging arms back and forth, took a step, and approached here, "it doesn't matter who I am." Ami remained motionless and did not flinch.She frowned deeply and tilted her head slightly, but her back was straight. "Of course it has something to do with it. This is my territory. You made trouble here without saying hello, which made me lose face." The Shimaji-like ghost actually smiled this time.Ah Ling was very scared.Because the teeth exposed in his mouth are sharp and long. "That's really sorry. But, sister, I also have my own reasons. That person..." The male ghost Nunu pointed his chin at the room where the fainted Shimaji was.I don't know when there was no one in the corridor, and the adults seemed to have gone back to their rooms for the time being.The ghost continued: "It's my brother. Listen, sister, I was killed by him ten years ago." Ah Ling didn't have time to be surprised by this sentence, because suddenly there was a roar like a wild animal; it turned out to be Shaggy Hair, who was squatting on the ground moaning with his hands covering his face.He is not alone, Gennosuke is also standing beside him.Gennosuke looked down at Pengfa, as if facing a large luggage that had to be moved but could not be moved by himself, he folded his arms helplessly, his eyebrows could not be lowered any more.When he found A Ling looking at him, he nodded and smiled at A Ling, his expression seemed to say: Anyway, let's see how the situation will develop now.Although Ah Ling's mind was still in chaos, Gennosuke's smiling face comforted her and let her breathe a sigh of relief. "That man's name is Shimaji, and he's the chef here." Ami asked the ghost word by word as if wanting to confirm, "Is he really your brother?" "It's definitely not wrong, it's my brother." "What's your name?" "My name is Ginji, please give me your advice." Ami didn't respond politely, her eyebrows and eyes were in a straight line, and she asked, "You hate Shimao, that's why you attached yourself to him?" "Of course, there are many reasons to hate him. He took my shop, my wife and children, and my life." "Shimaji knew you were attached to him?" "Of course I know, I often appear in his dreams." "How do you want to deal with Shimaji? Letting him make trouble in front of people like today doesn't seem to be good for you." "I want to take Shimaji's body away." Ginji replied generously, showing his long fangs again, and said with a smile, "I want to drive his soul out of his body, enter his body again, use that guy I will spend the rest of my life with my body. I want to return to my wife and children." he replied excitedly.Ami blinked her eyes, as if she wanted to re-measure the size of a small thing, staring at the silver ghost. In this short silence, there were noisy voices in the room.Ginji Ghost took a look inside the room. "Shimaji seems to have woken up." He said quickly, "Sister, I may be very unpleasant for you to cause trouble in your territory, but please forgive me. It took me so many years to weaken Shimaji's soul , as long as you work harder, you can pull the boy's soul out of his nostrils and drive away. At that time, I will not cause trouble for sister. If sister needs it, I can also help sister in the future Law." After he finished speaking, he turned around floatingly, and disappeared in front of Ah Ling and A Mi like a light mist blown away by the wind. "It's nerve-wracking now." Ami murmured to herself with her hands on her hips.Ah Ling walked towards Gennosuke slowly.Although Pengfa stopped moaning and crying, he still covered his face with his hands and crouched on the ground, shaking his body back and forth. A group of people swarmed out of the room.The one who came out first was Yujiro Asada, who had a rough face and flushed with anger, followed by Ahatsu, Aru, and Matsuzaburo, and hurried away like a race.Not long after, Shirako Yachangbei, with a pale face and black eye circles, also came out. He seemed still dizzy and staggered.Axiu supported him by the side.Hiding behind them was a young girl whom Ah Ling had never seen before—it should be Ah Jing in that attire, and the white headscarf probably fell off during the commotion. Ah Ling saw her gorgeous bun.Behind her was a servant girl who was walking staggeringly. Ah Ling blinked.Ok?Ah Jing? "Boss Baiziwu, boss Baiziwu, I really don't know how to apologize to you..." Taiichiro faltered and chased after everyone, but no one in Shirakoya's group seemed to listen.They passed in front of Ah Ling, and went downstairs as if fleeing. "Abba." Ah Ling grabbed Tai Yilang's sleeve who didn't notice her daughter, and asked, "Abba, is that Miss Ah Jing? It's different from the one who came before." At first Taiichiro didn't seem to hear Ah Ling's words. Ah Ling grabbed his sleeve tightly and repeated the words several times before he finally recognized Ah Ling and stopped in his tracks. "what?" Ah Ling held her temper and said it again.Bai Ziwu's family had already gone downstairs and put on their shoes in front of the door.Taiichiro approached them, carefully looked at the girl's side face, opened his mouth wide and said, "Really..." "What's the matter again!" Chobei looked back at Taiichiro in disbelief, "I've had enough... Get out! Get out!" Chobei roughly pushed Taiichiro away, and Taiichiro staggered.Black and blue bruises were clearly visible around Changbei's thick neck, and Ah Ling's back felt cold when she saw it. That was Shimaji's finger mark, no, it should be said to be the finger mark of Ginji's ghost. Ah Jing never looked back, and Bai Ziwu's family fled away from the boat house. The guests all left. Taiichiro stood dumbfounded at the entrance, muttering to himself almost like weeping: What is going on here?Ah Ling didn't want to see her father cry, she looked up at the top of the stairs as if asking for help. However, Ami, Gennosuke, and Pengfa all disappeared, and a gust of cold wind blew from upstairs, brushing Aling's hair.
