When the good news came that Xiao Yuan had won the case, An Ning was still a little confused.

At this time, she was thinking, wouldn't the county magistrate be as blind as Xu Pengju?

Compared with the joy and excitement of Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yuan, An Ning is much more rational.

Although she also praised Xiao Yuan, she did not let him slack off, but paid more attention to letting him study.

Xiao Yuan is here to prepare for the next government and hospital examinations, and Master Xiao, who is doing business outside, really has encountered something.

When Master Xiao came to the door, he still remembered what An Ning said.

An Ning said that he should not rush to leave, and as soon as the sun sets, he should quickly find a place to stay, and don't walk at night.

He is cautious and does it every day.

His business partner, Mr. Cao, laughed at him for being timid.

Later, when Master Xiao saw that nothing happened to him every day, he became bolder.

In order to hurry, they would still walk for a night every day, and sometimes they missed the lodging and spent the night in the carriage.

On this day, because of the hurry, he missed a small town, and at night, there were no villages around, so Master Xiao and Master Cao asked the entourage to take out the prepared food and make a fire to cook, and they sat in the carriage and talked.

This time, Master Xiao wanted to go to the south to get some rare things to sell in the north.

He and Master Cao heard that the cities along the southern coast had Western fleets and brought a lot of good things.

There are clocks, glass mirrors, perfumes, Western fabrics and jewelry, and most importantly, spices and jade jewelry from the South Seas.

These sell particularly well in the north, and the profits are quite amazing.

They were a little uneasy about sending people, so they thought about going there themselves to see how these things were, and if they were really good, they both wanted to form a fleet and go to sea.

They sat in the carriage and talked about what good things they were going to bring back this time.

Master Xiao said that he would bring some jade jewelry to the women in the family, and he would also bring Xiao Yuan a pocket watch.

Master Cao's house is not as clean as the backyard of the Xiao family, he has a few concubines, and he said that he wants to bring some Western cloth to a few concubines.

The two of them patronized and talked, and Master Xiao didn't notice that their carriage was parked on the edge of a small lake.

The main reason is that the subordinates set up camp on the edge of the lake for the convenience of getting water.

They were cooking in the open area by the lake, and when they saw that the sky was getting darker, they began to step up.

When the sky darkened and the meal was ready, there were entourages to put the food on the carriage for Master Xiao and Master Cao.

When I went out, I didn't pay much attention to the food, just the cut braised meat, a few meatloaf and some soup, Master Xiao picked up the bowl, thinking of the fresh and tender vegetables grown at home, I couldn't eat it.

Master Cao has a good appetite, so he eats with a bowl.

He had only taken a few bites of food when he heard the whining of the wind.

"The wind is blowing?"

Master Xiao was stunned for a moment.

They walked all the way south, and by this time it was already warm in the south, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a rumor.

"I'll take a look. ”

Master Cao wanted to get out of the car and take a look.

Before he could move, he heard a frightened voice outside: "Go away, go away, get away......

Master Xiao and Master Cao were both taken aback.

They hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to take a look, and they were really frightened when they saw it.

I don't know when black shadows appeared in the water, and some of them had already come ashore and were grabbing their entourage and dragging them into the water.

"This is, water ghost?"

Master Cao's face was frightened, and he wanted to hide but didn't know where to hide.

When Master Xiao looked at this waterfront place, he thought of the words that An Ning told him.

An Ning said not to miss the stay, and he hurried to find a place to live before it was dark, and also said that he should stay away from the water, but he didn't listen, and now there is such a thing.

He was also very scared, but he was a little calmer than Master Cao.

"Hurry up and pee in the water. ”

Master Xiao remembers that he didn't know who he had heard say, saying that those evil things were afraid of the child's urine: "Which of you is still a child, hurry up and pee in the lake." ”

As soon as he shouted, Master Cao also calmed down.

"Yes, yes, do we have any black chicken blood and black dog blood, hurry up and sprinkle it into the lake. ”

Not to mention, there are really children among the people they brought, so they quickly do what Master Xiao said.

But those water ghosts were not afraid at all, and they all went ashore in a flash.

Some of the water ghosts grabbed Master Xiao.

Master Xiao was so frightened that he was about to run.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.

Immediately after, a water ghost who could make people see his face clearly floated over with a smile.

He looked at Master Xiao: "This old man is not bad, this body is okay, I want ......"

As he spoke, he drilled into Master Xiao's body.

There are water ghosts who want to go up to Master Cao's body.

Master Cao was already paralyzed by fright.

"Go away, don't ......"

Master Xiao was also frightened, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was caught by a water ghost?

The water ghost may have gone home in his skin to plague his daughter-in-law and his son.

He waved his hand, trying to chase away the water ghosts.

The water ghost burst out laughing, turning into a cloud of black mist and about to burrow into his body.

Suddenly, a golden light was released from Master Xiao's body, and the water ghost screamed miserably: "What is it?

He was far away from Master Xiao and looked at Master Xiao with fear: "What do I have?"

What's there?

Master Xiao frowned, he shouldn't have anything on him, he hadn't been to the temple, and he didn't have the magic weapon that the master had ever opened.

He thought about it, and finally thought that An Ning had given him a piece of peace jade pendant.

He settled down and hurriedly held the jade pendant he was wearing on his body: "You all get out, get out." ”

Master Xiao still remembered Master Cao, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, wanting to use the power of the jade pendant to drive away the other water ghost.

It's just that Master Xiao acted a little late, and Master Cao has fallen softly.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of screams from Master Cao's body, which should be the sound of a water ghost, but the water ghost was not driven out.

Master Xiao was worried and scared, so he asked all those families to come around, and then loaded Master Cao into the carriage.

The water ghosts all wanted to find a good body, or pull people into the water, but because of the jade pendant on Master Xiao's body, they couldn't get close.

Not only Master Xiao, but even more than a meter away from Master Xiao's surroundings, they couldn't get close.

Seeing these people driving the carriage away, the water ghosts were detained near the small lake and could not catch up.

Master Xiao was in a hurry and didn't stop until dawn.

After the rooster crowed, Master Xiao found a village and went to find someone to ask for a doctor.

But after inviting a few doctors, they all shook their heads and said that there was no way.

Master Xiao wants to invite someone who is a little bit of a Taoist, but there is no such person in this kind of small village.

He hurried a little longer, found a temple, and wanted to ask the monk inside to save Master Cao.

But those monks tossed for a long time, and Master Cao still didn't wake up.

Master Xiao was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

The subordinates brought by Master Cao said to Master Xiao: "Where did you get that jade pendant? The person who gave you the jade pendant is only afraid that he has a way, otherwise let's invite him to save the master." ”

Only then did Master Xiao think of peace.

When he didn't go out, An Ning saw that something was going to happen to him, and he also deliberately gave him a jade pendant, which shows that An Ning should be a very deep Taoist.

He and Master Cao have also been friends for many years, and they can't ignore their friends for the sake of trading.

There was no way, Master Xiao had to take Master Cao back.

When he was in a hurry, Master Xiao was still lamenting, he had known that he should not have gone out of this door, not only did he not make a deal, but he almost folded in.
