The cold wind in the mountain forest is blowing, and the small branches at the entrance of the cave not far away keep shaking, and the cave is pitch black, which makes people unconsciously lift their hearts when they look at it.

The team that had gone up the mountain from the north had also reached the other side of the cave entrance, and the village chief, who was leading the team in the north, had lit the fuse of a large string of firecrackers in his hand and threw the firecrackers that were about to sound into the cave.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the villagers around them had already raised their tools, half of them staring at the mouth of the cave, and the other half carefully examining the surrounding woods to see if there was any movement.

Li Jingmu put one hand into the inner pocket of the down jacket and held the pistol to prepare, Luo Ying put her hands in the pockets of the down jacket on her body, and looked intently at the white smoke of firecrackers that had not yet completely drifted away at the mouth of the cave, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.

The people concentrated their energy for a moment, and the white smoke that dispersed brought out the original black hole mouth, and no animals escaped from the hole, not even a single bat as the villagers said.

"It's really long-winded, I'll go in and have a look. Looking at the lively whirlpool in the back, he looked at the crowd chattering and discussing beside him, floated to Luo Ying's side and whispered to her, and then floated into the cave.

Suddenly, she returned to Luo Ying's side.

The surrounding villagers were still discussing countermeasures, and Li Jingmu was still looking at the mouth of the cave, Luo Ying carefully turned her head and moved her lips silently to ask about the situation.

Uzai crossed his arms and shook his head at her, "There are no big animals. ”

Luo Ying nodded with relief, raised her hand slightly, drew a circle, and pointed to the jungle in the distance.

"You want me to see if there's a monster anywhere else on this hill? No, I can't get too far from you. ”

"Aren't you very fast, just go and go back, please. There was a lot of noise around her, and she whispered to the whirlpool.

"I can tell the purpose of their visit, there is a child in this village who seems to have been scared stupid by something, and he has not recovered for a long time, and yesterday someone said that a monster had been found in this vicinity, so they came here to take a look. A normal person suddenly looks stupid and can't be cured, do you think it might be an animal scared? I don't think so. There are no large animals inside, but there is the breath of the underworld. ”

"What then?" she glanced at Li Jingmu and turned her head to worry.

"I haven't seen that kid either, and I definitely don't know what to do now, and when they're done tossing and going back, I'll go and see and answer your question. ”

Watching the female ghost who followed Luo Ying into the cave to check, and came out to chat with Luo Ying all the time, Yu Jing put back from the front, came to Luo Ying's side, looked at the female ghost beside her, and cast an inquiring look at her.

Luo Ying smiled and shook her head at him.

Receiving Luo Ying's response, he walked back to the front, shouted in the crowd, talked to the village chief, and persuaded everyone to go down the mountain first.

The two teams gathered together and went down the mountain together, Luo Ying carefully checked the people in the team going up the mountain from the north, but no longer saw the familiar face of the woman she saw before going up the mountain, shook off the cranky thoughts in her head, and walked back to the village entrance in the evening, she was already too tired to look good, so she could only hold Li Jingmu's arm and move slowly.

"When I went up the mountain, I couldn't be mental, but now I know I'm tired. Li Jingmu lowered his eyes and looked at the girl beside him, looked at the sunset in the sky in the west of the mountains in the distance, and smiled lightly.

"Well, got it. Luo Ying nodded weakly.

"Come, eat a piece of candy first, don't faint. He took out the fruit hard candy he was carrying from his pocket, peeled it off, stuffed it into her mouth, and quickly dragged her towards Jinnian's small courtyard.

"It's so exaggerated, if you give me a crawl and come back, I won't faint. ”

"Sakura-chan, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat at our house tonight, Dawu came back from school, and this morning I happened to catch a lot of fish in the deep spring outside the village, it's delicious. Luo Ying was still disgusted with Li Jingmu and said that she was delicate, and a woman about forty years old appeared next to her.

Before going up the mountain, she and Li Jingmu suddenly appeared in the crowd, and people were very curious about who they were, and Uncle Yu Jing also introduced them to the villagers. It was normal for the aunt next to her to know her name, but she was suddenly so enthusiastic about her, she couldn't react a little.

When she was stunned and smiled lightly, not knowing how to answer, Yu Jing walked quickly to their side. "Okay, Aunt Wu. Then let's go to your house to eat tonight, Jinnian should also cook at this time, and the two of us will gather at the same table to eat later. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and see if Da Wu is ready. The woman was answered, and hastened to quicken her pace.

"Is she the aunt next door?" the woman walked out of a distance, and Luo Ying turned her head to ask Yu Jing.

"Hmm. He is the mother of the child who was scared silly, and your grandmother often helps her family, so she is so enthusiastic about you, don't be surprised, you don't have to be restrained when you eat later, just treat it as your own home. ”

As the twilight spreads, the light switches of the village's houses are pulled down, and the warm yellow light illuminates the dim house.

Li Jingmu and Yu Jing helped bring the meal prepared by Jin Nian to the Wu family, and the eldest of the Wu family put together the two small square tables in the house and silently moved the chairs scattered in all corners of the house for the visitors.

It seems that because there is a sick younger brother at home, the tall and thin Boss Wu looks sullen. When the food was brought to the next room, he ate quietly with the people at the table, without saying a word.

There were no stupid children at the dinner table, and when Luo Ying was eating, the whirlpool floated into the room to check.

As soon as she came out, she leaned down to Luo Ying's side: "He was frightened by a ghost, but it's okay at the moment." ”

Luo Ying nodded lightly with the rice bowl in her hand.

After dinner, Yu Jing cleaned up the tableware and went home, Luo Ying and Li Jingmu returned to Jinnian's yard, and took out the chairs from the house and came to the courtyard to roast the fire.

The temperature in the mountains at night was much cooler than during the day, and the wind in the courtyard inside the low mud walls was not too strong, and the flames of the fire swayed very little.

There was darkness in the distance behind him, and the shallow and deep light of the flames made people feel that both cheeks were warm. Yu Jing and Jin Nian returned to the house to watch TV, and Luo Ying stared at the firewood in the fire pit seriously.

When she was in elementary school, she sat by the fire in the courtyard of Lin Zhe's house for a night in the cold weather, she snuggled up to Aunt Lin's lap, and Lin Zhe sat opposite her and stretched out his hand on the fire to chat with her.

At that time, her parents left home to start a business with her cousin, she was also a left-behind child, every day when she came back from school, she cooked and ate with her grandmother, after eating, grandma went to bed early, she ran to Lin Zhe's house, until very late, Lin Zhe sent her back to the door of the house across the path, sometimes she accidentally fell asleep, Lin Zhe would take her home and cover the door for her......

"Why are you crying?" There was a snorting sound from the other side, Li Jingmu raised his head and saw the tears on Luo Ying's face by the firelight, and asked softly.

She pursed her lips and met his gaze. "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered the people who were with me when I was a child. ”

The picture that shouldn't have flashed wandered in her mind again, and the pain in her heart gradually came up, she hurriedly got up and said to Li Jingmu, who was sighing lightly: "I'll go rest first." ”

After casually entering the house and saying hello to her grandmother, she stepped into her door, covered the door, and squatted down to relieve the pain.

The damn Hades Jade always makes her so painful that she can't think about it anymore, let alone miss it, when she misses the time she spent with Lin Zhe.

Outside the room, there was only the faint sound of the TV playing, and she relieved the pain and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it was, but suddenly a shout came from her ear, which woke her up in an instant.

She heard a woman's shout, the woman shouted, "Mu Li, save me!", and when she heard this shout, her eyes instantly covered the face of the woman who made her look so familiar today.

She and the crowd really didn't see her when they came down the mountain......

"Uzumaki, accompany me to a place. ”

"Where are you going?" Uzumaki asked as she looked at Luo Ying, who suddenly got up and trotted in front of her with a panicked face.

"Go to the mountain where I went today. ”

"What are you going to do there this night?"

"Find someone. ”

"Looking for someone, the two people outside haven't rested yet, their bodies are too special, I can't control them, and Li Jingmu is still outside, do you think they will let you go to that place at this time? The window has an anti-theft bar, and the back door has long been locked with a lock, so you can't go out quietly. ”

"I'll go out and let Brother Jing Mu go to bed early, and then talk to my grandmother. ”

She hurried to the door and opened it.

"Brother Jing Mu, it's late, we have to go back at noon tomorrow, let's go back to the room early to sleep." Walking outside the hospital, she spoke directly to Li Jingmu.

"Hmm. Li Jingmu glanced up at her and nodded at her.

Li Jingmu returned to the room, and she crouched beside Jin Nian and secretly spoke.

"What does it look like?" Jin Nian asked with a frown when she heard what she said.

"Long goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, Xuanyue eyebrows, high ponytail, very thin ......"

"Well, no more talk, I know who it is. She will appear in this village from time to time, either a ghost or something similar to a ghost, not a person anyway, you don't have to go to her, go back to sleep. Jin Nian raised her eyes after thinking about it and waved her hand to return to her room.
