The night was pitch black, and the wind whined, blowing waist-high weeds in the meadow and moving the shadows of the trees beside the road.

The brother and sister were forbidden to go down, and they stood on the dirt road and looked at the river in the distance, and the crooked willow trees on the embankment were like man-devouring monsters, accompanied by bursts of shouts, and they were even more panicked, as if they were summoning spirits.

In the firelight, I vaguely saw that the people holding torches were all young people in Tunli.

Captain Ma Qingguo really deserves to be an old man, the young man is good, full of yang, even if there is really any evil thing, he can suppress it.

As she thought, Guan Ping'an subconsciously touched her purse, only to find that she hurriedly jumped off the kang with the dagger, but forgot to bring it.

Suddenly......

A raised male voice sounded, "Don't shout, big guys, let's go, a letter was sent from the front, saying that someone had seen a little girl in Qiantun, and Guan Lao Er had already run over." ”

"Did you really see the child?" this is a kind person who cares about the whereabouts of the child.

"Don't ask, let's go over and see. "This is a well-wisher who is tired enough to choke.

"I'm exhausted, kid...... It's really going to be a whole thing. "This is a kind person who is angry.

When the brother and sister heard this, they immediately looked at their Lao Tzu Guan Youshou, but saw that he didn't run with those well-wishers, and was looking at Wangjiazhuang with a calm face and frowning.

The two looked at each other, immediately walked up to him, and one took his hand.

"Alas......"

The brother and sister, who had never heard her/his father's faint sigh, chuckled in their hearts and looked at each other again: Look, Daddy has reacted, what should I do?

Guan Youshou held a pair of children, pulled the corners of his mouth, and whispered, "Remember to watch more and talk less." ”

The abandoned yard is really unlucky, and he really doesn't want to take the children over in the middle of the night. It would be nice if his bear children were obedient, but instead of letting these two bear children sneak over, it would be better to take them with them.

At this time, Wangjiazhuang was also disturbed, listening to Guan Youlu and Wang Laohan for the child's height and clothing are the same, Wangjiazhuang's captain naturally has no objection to let the villagers help.

Wang Laohan, who was dragged by Guan Youlu, is a lonely old man in his 60s who manages the pig farm in Wangjiazhuang, and he said that he saw a little girl with a raw face near the abandoned old man in the morning.

When Guan Youshou arrived at Wangjiazhuang, a group of people who arrived first were already led by Wang Laohan, holding torches in the direction of the abandoned courtyard.

There are also a few people holding torches around him, and naturally Ma Zhenzhong is indispensable to him.

Seeing this, Ma Zhenzhong stabbed Guan Youshou with his right hand that did not hold a torch, but unfortunately there were outsiders around him, and he had something to say.

In the early years, it was not rumored that there were treasures hidden in the abandoned courtyard of Wangjiazhuang, but who saw it? Who dared to blatantly come to Wangjiazhuang to dig treasures?

Do you really think that Wangjiazhuang is ridden by outsiders to pee on the neck? Fortunately, this is still a little girl, and if you change to an adult, the two villages will not have a fight!

"Third brother......" Wang Qiqi waited and waited, and finally waited for Guan Youshou and them to come over, this matter of the old Guan family, he pondered that he must not be able to leave his buddy.

Sure enough, my own head melon is good!

When he got closer, he patted the little heads of Guan Ping'an's brothers and sisters first, "Why did you come here to join in the fun? Go back with your uncle first and ask your aunt to boil eggs for you." ”

There is no need for them to refuse, Guan Youshou is also worried that a pair of children will sneak away without permission, and if the Wang family's younger brothers and sisters shout that his pair of children are also lost, it will be a lot of fun!

"Forget it, next time. What do you mean now? That girl really entered the village?"

Wang Qiqi lowered his voice, "Third brother, what's the matter with your niece? You didn't see it, the older generation didn't come out tonight, and I guess I don't feel happy." ”

Guan Youshou sighed, "It stands to reason that the child hasn't been found yet, I shouldn't have said this, that child is really too noisy." Why did my daughter go to the hospital last time? How long has it been? I don't know how this mother is raising children?"

Ma Zhenzhong handed the torch to Wang Qiqi, and picked up Guan Ping'an by himself, "Forget it, don't mention these troubles." Other people's daughters still make people sad. Let's go, let's go over and see if we find it. ”

Seeing this, Guan Youshou also picked up his son, and several people, led by Wang Qiqi, who was holding a torch, also began to go in the direction of the abandoned courtyard.

"What's going on?

"Not yet, did you hear it, and you're still calling the child's name. ”

Speaking of abandoned courtyards, it is not just a courtyard, it is said that in the earliest period, the old residence of the Wang family occupied almost one-third of the entire Wangjiazhuang.

In the heyday of the Wang family, the scale was so large that there was a racecourse in the compound, which shows how big it was.

But as the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.

After changing the dynasty several times, if the ancestors have no one to support them, they will gradually decline. Not to mention that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken.

But now, under the light of the torches, what Guan Ping'an saw in his eyes was a lonely courtyard not much bigger than her home.

The stone fence outside left only traces of the ground, let's count the front yard, and the ground was full of potholes and a few bluestone slabs, and it was overgrown with weeds as tall as her.

There is no tiled thatch on the roofs of the five main houses and the lure room, and even the beams are gone, and the blue brick walls are erected.

One after another, the old men went in and out, and they also stepped on the weeds, revealing broken tiles and broken porcelain plates, and they were even more startled by a series of rats fleeing in all directions.

"What's going on?"

"Shhhh ”

"Mom, don't scare me!"

Guan Youshou heard the whispers of the surrounding crowd, frowned, and put down his son, "Wait for your father outside, don't go in!"

"Hey, third brother, I heard them talking nonsense, it's not like I didn't come here to play when I was a child, where did the ghost come from? If there are ghosts, they don't look for us, so we don't hurt anyone. ”

Ma Zhenzhong between the two buddies, he still chose to support Guan Youshou and let go of Guan Ping'an, "Hand in hand, you can't go away, remember?"

Wang Qiqi glanced at them speechlessly, but he didn't dismantle the stage, "It's no ghost, but there is a tiger mother." It's black, and it specializes in holding children. ”

Ma Zhenzhong immediately pulled him over and followed Guan Youshou: It's all nonsense! No, when did this guy come here to play, why didn't he bring them over?

"I haven't known you yet. ”

"! We've known each other since we were five years old!"

"yes, before I was five years old. Don't talk, be careful of mosquitoes flying into your mouth. ”

"It bit me all over the place. ”

Guan Ping'an almost laughed as he listened to their whispered conversation.

As people moved, in the flickering light of the torches, looking at the flickering courtyard, Guan Ping'an looked sideways at the little brother, and asked with a smile, "Brother, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, there are so many people!"
