The old man felt a strong spiritual power coming from not far away, and he had been searching for the whereabouts of the other party since Zishen escaped from the flame pool.

The old man guessed that this strong spiritual power should have been sent by the "artifact" found by Zishen, and the opportunity would not come again, so he hurriedly ran to the place with the strongest spiritual power, that is, the location of the artifact.

When he found it, he was dumbfounded for a while, a basin of ice water was poured from head to the bottom of his feet, and it was not him who stood in front of him, but a young man he didn't know, but the old man really felt that the other party had a strong spiritual power.

"You are?"

Hearing the voice, the young man raised his head and glanced at the other party suspiciously, and the old man hurriedly introduced himself: "Oh, I am the soul ferryman, the old man, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Because of the strong spiritual power on the other party's body, the old man put his posture very low, afraid that he would not inadvertently collide with any big person.

"I only remember that my name is Yan Jiu, and by the time I was conscious, I had already found that I had become a ghost, and I didn't remember anything about my life, and I didn't even know how I died. He replied honestly. According to his temperament, if someone asked him this before his death, he would definitely put on a stinky face, and then he would ignore it. But now, there are so many things that have happened to him that I have to say a few more words. After all, deep down he hoped that someone would solve these mysteries for him and tell him what was going on.

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the heart that was hanging rose again, as long as Zishen did not find it for a day, he would not be stable for a day. The index finger of his right hand tapped the back of his left hand slowly, and he suddenly had a plan, and then a smile spread out in the corner of his eye.

"Do you want to know what happened to you and why you died?"

"You know what? Yan Jiu excitedly rushed forward and grabbed the old man's sleeve, and said with a pleading face.

The old man shook his head, "I can help you ask, after all, people should have a marquee after death, but you must promise me one condition." As I said before, I am a soul ferryman, but I am retiring, and the person who will replace me is a little girl in the world, you can help me protect her and help her complete the soul ferry mission. I'll tell you. ”

Hearing this, Yan Jiu sneered, he let go of the other party, turned around disdainfully, and said dissatisfiedly: "I hate it in my life when others threaten me, if you don't say it, I can find out by myself." ”

"No, you can't find out, you're just a ghost now, how can you find out? You need the help of humans, and you have to be a human who can see you talking to you, and it just so happens that the little girl has yin and yang eyes, and only with her help can you find out the truth you want. The old man replied firmly. Then he suddenly thought of something, so he added, "Don't you think you have a strong spiritual power? The origin of this spiritual power is unknown, if you don't find out as soon as possible, and then you are involved in some conspiracy, what will you do?"

Yan Jiu was stunned for a moment, obviously frightened by his words, he thought about it for a while, what the other party said was not unreasonable, if you want to find out what happened before your death, you must rely on the help of people, and today he has found that he can't talk to other people at all.

Oh, yes, he's just a ghost now, who can see him except his kind?

Thinking of this, Yan Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he drooped his head in a gloomy manner, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "I found a strange thing today, those ghosts seem to be very afraid of me, whenever I get close, they hide far away, like hiding from the plague god." Do you know why?"

The old man raised his index finger and waved, "No, no, no, you are not a plague god, with all due respect, you have a strong spiritual power, and I was attracted by this spiritual power, and those ghosts are just afraid of your spiritual power." ”

"Spiritual power?" Yan Jiu asked suspiciously, he thought about it carefully, he didn't know what the other party meant when he said this, and, in his cognition, isn't this word only found in novels and immortal cultivation dramas?

......

On the other side, as soon as the old man left with his front foot, the female ghost outside the window couldn't wait to float in, Bai Jingge hugged the lying bear on the bed, closed his eyes, and kept slapping his right hand in the air, "Don't come here, don't come over......"

The female ghost's expression was a little lost, she slowly squatted down, gently pulled Bai Jingge's trouser legs, Bai Jingge buried in the big bear's body suddenly thought that the old man had just said that this female ghost was a single mother, so she had been reluctant to leave, could it be because of this reason? She peeked at the other party, and suddenly found that the other party was crying, Bai Jingge's heart "chuckled", and after sitting upright, he said in a panic: "What are you crying about? Don't cry, don't cry, I can't see others crying." ”

......

The weather after the winter solstice is very cold, the cold wind blows on people's faces like a knife, and there are only a few people on the road, who are also shivering and shivering on the road quickly. Bai Jingge pulled the scarf up, she turned around and whispered, "Are you really sure he's around here?"

"Wangwang", a dog barking frightened Bai Jingge for a moment, she followed the dog's barking to look over, there was a small restaurant, and some heat came out of the house from time to time.

"Let's go, this child, if you want food, you have to go somewhere else. As she spoke, the proprietress of the shop pushed a little boy out the door.

"I'm not asking for food, I'm looking for my mother. The little boy standing at the door was so cold that he was trembling when he spoke. When Bai Jingge was about to turn around and ask if the female ghost was this, she found that the other party had already floated over.

Then he shrugged helplessly, and hurriedly ran over, the female ghost hugged the little boy, tears rushed down, and then the proprietress of the store came out again and threw out a shoe, and then Bai Jingge saw the little boy with one bare foot.

"I don't know whose wild child it is, where the adults died, and I don't care if this little is called Hanako, I'm afraid it's not a thief. The proprietress stood at the door and said coldly.

The little boy cried and cried, "I am not a thief, you are a thief." ”

"Hey, it's hard to say that you're still fighting, believe it or not, I'll send you to the police station. Saying that, the proprietress came over to push the little boy, and the female ghost bared her teeth and protected the child behind her, but the other party said that she was like air.

Bai Jingge really couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed the proprietress away in the past, and sneered: "Now it's really a bad day, let me see how a ten-year-old adult bullies a child? Come on, come on, everyone. As he spoke, he cried out.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, there are still a few of them, and when they hear the movement here, they shrink their heads and squeeze over, no matter how cold the day is, they can't stop them from wanting to see the lively mood.

Seeing that there were really people coming around, the proprietress was a little panicked, and quickly took a few steps back, pointing to Bai Jingge's nose, "You don't want to spew blood, neurotic." After saying that, he staggered back to the store.

How could Bai Jingge let her go so easily, although if she encountered something outside, she should settle down and get by. But maybe because there were too many things happening today, she held her breath in her heart, went up and grabbed the boss's arm, and said fiercely: "Want to run away?

It will not be a good stubble to be able to do business on this street, where has the proprietress been so humiliated, after shaking off Bai Jingge's arm, she wrinkled her brows and fought back viciously: "Eh, what's the matter with you girl, kick your nose in the face, why should I apologize, do you know what that kid just did in my shop, standing in front of other customers like a little beggar, which seriously affected my business." It's good that I didn't send him to the police station, you're still barking like a mad dog here, what's the matter, do you want to fight, come on, who's afraid of whom. As he spoke, he began to curl his arms.

She Bai Jingge is not a person who is afraid of things, since the other party wants to fight, then she is naturally willing to accompany her. When she was about to go up, Xiao Chen grabbed the hem of her clothes and said timidly: "Auntie, don't fight, my mother said that fighting is not a good child." Coupled with the dissuasion of pedestrians, the two did not fight in the end, and the proprietress spat in front of them, turned around and walked towards the store.

Bai Jingge glanced at her back, bent down and picked up shoes from the ground after "cutting", squatted next to the little boy, held his ankle, the other party was so frightened that he took a step back, Bai Jingge said softly: "Don't be afraid, Auntie is your mother's friend, she asked me to come to you, your name is Xiaochen, right?" ”

When she held her feet, Bai Jingge was shocked, and then a sour feeling came to her heart, her little feet were cold, like freezing in the cold and snow, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but suck it. Hurriedly put on the other party's shoes, and after standing up, Xiao Chen asked urgently: "Auntie, do you know where your mother went?" Usually my mother went home early at this point, but I haven't waited for it today. ”

Bai Jingge's eyes were red, and when she was blown by the cold wind, tears fell straight down, she quickly raised her arm and wiped it away, took a deep breath, and pretended to be cheerful and said: "Mom, she has something to deal with, you haven't eaten yet, let's go, how about we go eat something first?"

Xiao Chen nodded, Bai Jingge led him into a KFC not far away, when ordering Xiao Chen asked for two beef burgers, Bai Jingge asked in surprise: "Auntie doesn't eat it, can you eat two by yourself?"

Xiao Chen lowered his head embarrassedly, and asked timidly: "Auntie, can I bring one for my mother?" This mother is usually reluctant to eat, but I know that in fact, my mother also loves to eat. ”

Bai Jingge's nose was sour again, and he hurriedly replied: "It's okay, then you order another one, and my mother has to eat two." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen laughed happily, and his squinted crescent eyes seemed to be sprinkled with stars, and that satisfaction came from the heart.

When the waiter came over, Bai Jingge said, "Please help me take care of the child, I'll go to the bathroom" and ran towards the bathroom with his face hidden.

Turning on the faucet, Bai Jingge kept slapping cold water on her face, and the cold water droplets seemed to pierce every cell of her skin. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a shadow appear in the mirror......
