    After Grandpa finished speaking, his eyes turned golden again. He carefully took out a mysterious box from his pocket and gently peeled off the yellow talisman on it. As soon as the talisman was removed, the box began to shake violently, and hoarse roars and curses came from within. "Roar~" "You damn bull-nose! What the hell are you going to do with my dragon soul? Let me out now, or else..." Before the thing inside the box could finish its threatening words, Grandpa's fingertips glowed with golden light, and he pointed a finger at the box, which immediately shut up. Then, Grandpa walked to the front door, his face pale, and instructed my father on three things. He told my father that he had just summoned my three souls and seven spirits, and that he would soon perform a ritual to rebuild my physical body. My fate was extremely peculiar, and at that time, it would definitely attract a hundred demons to seize my body. What my father had to do was: if a dog barked, kill a chicken and splatter its blood; if a snake came, throw a chicken to lure the snake; if a fox or a weasel came, just release a black dog to bite it. In short, do as much time as possible to delay. We absolutely cannot let these evil spirits into the courtyard before the ritual is over! After saying this, Grandpa flicked his wide purple Taoist robe and returned to the courtyard to prepare the altar.

    "I recently read 'Meeting You in the Summer Night Breeze,' and it's an absolute summer gem! The protagonist is a designer who's always working overtime. One day, he finds an injured stray cat downstairs at his office, only to discover that the cat's owner is an elderly gentleman who runs a used bookstore—you might think it's just another heartwarming story? Wrong! The old man keeps saying he can hear the voices of old objects, and the cat seems to be guiding the protagonist to discover something. There are so many subtle details that really touch the heart, like the wind chimes outside the bookstore in the evening, the sweet aroma of chilled watermelon, and the conversations between the protagonist and the old man about regret and reconciliation. The author's writing style is like iced soda—refreshing and slightly sweet. As you read, you feel like you're sitting outside the bookstore, enjoying the evening breeze and listening to the story. I finished it over a weekend, and as I closed the book, the sun was setting. Suddenly, I realized how much tenderness is hidden in life that I hadn't noticed before… If you like this kind of slow-paced, delightful story, you should definitely give it a try!"
