Bai Xiu thought about it, and it didn't take long for Xiao Ning to arrive downstairs in Building 23, it was almost noon, and the commissary had already opened.

The two of them intended to go up and talk, this was what they had discussed before, since this old lady was an old resident of the place, she must know something, and they might be able to find out some news before deciding to act.

After so many days, the old lady actually remembered him, or because of Qu Xiaowen's relationship, this time she was obviously a little less vigilant and more cordial, and smiled kindly: "Come to see Xiaowen again?"

Seeing Xiao Ning's inquiring gaze, he couldn't explain it for the time being, so he said to the old lady instead: "I heard her say that you usually take good care of her, thank you." ”

"I looked after her for a while when she was a few years old, and her cousin's family lived where she now lives. ”

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "At that time, she and her cousin were very good, and they came here to play during the summer and winter vacations every year, but unfortunately her cousin was gone, and his family moved away, and I haven't seen her for a long time."

That is, ten years ago, she moved here, and every day she looks up and doesn't look down, they are all neighbors, so they naturally have to take care of each other.

She is really strange and pitiful, she has to pull the child up at a young age, and the child is a person who doesn't recognize people, and she doesn't know when this day will be a head......

Fortunately, there is also your cousin to come to see her, you don't know that one of your fellow villagers has also come to see her before, with a smile on his face, but behind his back, he told us bad things about her, saying that her father and mother's family are dead, and she lacks virtue......"

She babbled a few words, and Bai Xiu took the opportunity to ask her, "Grandma, have you lived here for decades?"

The old lady didn't notice that he was changing the subject, nodded with a smile, and gave a slap: "It's been almost fifty years." ”

Xiao Ning and Bai Xiu glanced at each other, naturally understood what he meant, she turned her mind and smiled sweetly: "Grandma, I am very curious about the customs of the old neighborhood, I heard that every house here has to dig a negative floor downstairs to be empty, what is the point of it?"

"Huh?" the old lady was stunned, "we don't have this habit......

Xiao Ning knows how to speak very well, and seems to mean something, but in fact, he said very vaguely: "I just heard that many of the downstairs are empty, which is strange and interesting." ”

The old lady thought for a while, and after a while, her face suddenly appeared: "You mean the 'Dead Man's Kiln'...... There used to be, but now it's long gone, but the old house should still be there. ”

"Dead man's kiln?" With a few years of professional smell, Xiao Ning asked a question with great interest, "Grandma, what is that?"

She has worked for so long, and she has always spoken gently and generously, which makes people feel good, and few people will refuse her questions.

The old lady really said 1510.

"In the past, the economic conditions were not good, many children in the building died after they were born and did not live long, and the family could not afford to buy a cemetery, so we thought about it together, dug a hole under the building, and buried the bones of these children in it.

Over time, it became a special place to store the corpses of children, and there was no way to do it, and it was better to keep them under the ground than to throw them on the street and rot. ”

Xiao Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart, and whispered to Bai Xiu: "Could it be that the ghosts of those babies and children are haunting?" They all say that little ghosts like to find playmates, no wonder it is children who are affected." ”

Bai Xiu was more cautious and said: "Before we figure out the reason, we still can't jump to conclusions, otherwise it will affect our judgment." ”

She stuck out her tongue and still talked to the old lady: "Grandma, I am studying these disappearing customs, do we have them downstairs? Can you take us to see them?"

People like to miss the old when they are old, even if this is a special funeral custom that contains the joys and sorrows of a generation, she can't talk about it.

"Yes, yes, I just got married that year, and Li Wazi, who lived next door to me, was taken away by Lord Yama before he was five years old, and I went to see him off in person.

But it's gone, and now the living conditions are better, and the children can grow up healthy and healthy, God willing......"

This old lady is also kind-hearted, Xiao Ning couldn't help but feel a few words of relief: "With your concern, those children are reincarnated, and they can also vote for a good family smoothly." ”

The old lady wiped away her tears and nodded.

Xiao Ning said quietly: "Grandma, where is the mouth of the kiln, let's go down and have a look, and worship these children by the way." ”

The old lady was not suspicious, seeing that she was so enthusiastic, she really led them out of the door, but she did not go out of the stairs, but turned around and went to the stairwell, and finally pointed to the small space full of miscellaneous objects in front of her: "It's down there, it's been useless for a long time, and I don't know if it's sealed." ”

Bai Xiu understood and moved the sundries, and a round stone kiln lid more than a meter wide was exposed, with an iron handle on it, which was already rusty.

He tried to lift it, but the stone cover didn't move, and he didn't know if it was heavy on its own, or if the edges had been killed by the accumulated ashes.

Seeing that he was helpless, Xiao Ning smiled secretly and waved his hand arrogantly: "Why is your strength so small, look at me!"

She crouched, her hands trying to grasp the handle, then she took a deep breath and lifted it sharply, and a miracle happened, and the heavy stone lid was instantly lifted off by her, leaving a dark and deep hole.

She held the stone cover in her hand as if holding a piece of cloth, and threw it aside with a smile.

The heavy impact stirred up a cloud of dust, which also showed that it was indeed not a tiger made of paper, and its weight was solid.

Not to mention that the old lady looked at her dumbfounded, even Bai Xiu was a little surprised, although he couldn't use spiritual power, his own strength was not small, but compared to Xiao Ning, it was really insignificant.

This is obviously not something that ordinary people can have, it seems that this girl also has some secrets, and he even doubts that the other party will also be a cultivator.

But in this way, new questions also followed, not to mention what role she played, only that Xiao Ning was obviously hiding it so well, but at the moment, this behavior was undoubtedly reminding him that her identity was not ordinary.

This is too strange, if the other party really has a plan, he will never reveal his origin in such a short period of time, could it be that she has been testing him before, and now she has determined the problem she is concerned about?

Bai Xiu looked at her intently, but unfortunately Xiao Ning still smiled and said nothing, he knew that now was not the time to ask, so he turned his head and said to the old lady: "Grandma, I don't know what the situation is below, you better go back, let's go down." ”

"Be careful, too. ”

The old lady probably stayed away from this cave entrance, and nodded hurriedly, "I heard that someone secretly buried a monster in it twenty years ago, and killed many children back then, and Xiaowen and her cousin were also gone at that time." ”

When she left, the two of them got into it one after the other - Xiao Ning insisted on walking in front, Bai Xiu was trying to test her, so naturally he would not object.

This cellar hole is not deep, only three or four meters high, Bai Xiu went down to the end, unscrewed the prepared flashlight, in front of him is a small space, if he didn't know in advance, he probably would really think that this was an ordinary cellar.

Xiao Ning looked around with the light of the flashlight, pointed to the innermost wall and exclaimed: "There is a door there!"

She walked away, but Bai Xiu was unmoved.

Xiao Ning glanced back at him and smiled innocently: "What's wrong? You seem to have something to ask me?"

Bai didn't ask her identity, but said three words: "Why?"

"You must be wondering why I 'jumped back' so quickly. The two had a tacit understanding, Xiao Ning knew very well what he was asking, and threw a wink with a smile, "Because in this way I can protect you justifiably." ”

This was really a bit unexpected for Bai Xiu: "Why do you want to protect me?"

Xiao Ning and Liu are very familiar with each other, Bai Xiu subconsciously thought that she would also be a member of the special events team, and the protection she said was entrusted by Lao Tu.

Ten years ago, even Fang Chengying was able to use the Special Events Team as a gunman, not to mention the people involved in that plan, they must have been notified this time.

"You're a cultivator of the Special Events Group. ”

Xiao Ning nodded as expected, but after a while, he shook his head again: "I am indeed a member of the special events team, but I am indeed not a cultivator. ”

The divine power she had just displayed undoubtedly shook Bai Xiu's perception of ordinary people.

Xiao Ning thought he didn't believe it, and continued: "It's normal, the special events team is not all cultivators, and there are us who are supernatural, my strength is my pass to enter the special events team. ”

Although her answer was a little unexpected, Bai Xiu also got the answer he wanted, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Did they ask you to come?" Thank you, but please leave it alone, it will cause you trouble." ”

How do you know that Xiao Ning showed a confused look: "Who is Lao Tu?"

She quickly reacted and stuck out her tongue: "You are so stupid, and you guessed wrong, I don't know Lao Tu...... Formally introducing, I, Xiao Ning, the special commissioner of the Huaxia Special Events Group, am very happy to meet you. ”

Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he finally sorted out the key points, but he still didn't understand something, and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

"No, no, no, I didn't come here specifically for you. ”

Xiao Ning waved his finger, "You also know that such a big case has happened here, and the mastermind behind the scenes is so elusive, the comrades in the police station naturally thought about whether it would be a special incident, so they reported it to the special events team."

The Wangcheng Special Events Team is dealing with other special incidents, so the general team sent me to investigate, and asked Lao Liu to assist me, but I didn't expect that just after the investigation came out a little eyebrow, the above gave me another task, let me get close to you, and always grasp your information.

I thought, this is strange, is there such a person who is more important than the lives of these children, but I can't help it, since I am in the Special Events team, I have to obey orders.

How do you know that things are so coincidental, I actually went to Wanglongping Village this tracking, and then saw you, in fact, you have already noticed their abnormality, pretending to be poisoned is just trying to make a plan. ”
