The state capital was not far from Xiapi County, and Du Yan arrived in the evening when the city gates were about to close. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info's body was already a little unsupportable at this time, so he directly asked the coachman to send him to the pharmacy. Seeing that he was seriously ill, he knew that he had not yet found a place to live, so he let him sleep in the back house of the pharmacy with the young man who grabbed the medicine, and ordered someone to decoct him and take it.

When I got up the next day, I saved a lot, thanked the doctor, settled the medicine bill, and found a hotel in Gyeongju City to stay. I raised it for two days, and until my body was fine, I went out to find out the news in the morning and evening.

It took him more than half a month to walk through the streets and alleys of Gyeongju Mansion one by one, only to know that over the years, Chen Kangnian had already sat in the position of Gyeongju Taishou. Du Yan stepped on the yamen of the state capital and the residences of the relatives of the Taishou Mansion, and the Taishou family touched him all over the world. Then he changed to a hotel close to the Taishou Mansion, closed the door, and locked himself in the room and meditated for two days before he had a plan.

************************************************

There is an oil seller in Xingqiao Hutong in Gyeongju City, and he picks up oil and sells it everywhere in the streets and alleys every day. Wang Xiaolang has lived with his widowed mother since he was a child, and he has learned the widow's flexible ability to speak out ten, and he is used to flattering with good words, so his business is quite good.

Outside the city, Liu Dashan's family in Liujiaji was going to have a happy event recently, and Wang Xiaolang took over the errand of delivering oil to Liu Dashan's family.

On this day, I returned to the city with oil, it was getting late, and when I passed by the willow forest outside the city, I saw a woman in a goose yellow shirt standing at the edge of the forest.

Wang Xiaolang has not yet married a wife, it is Mu Shaoai's age, looking at the woman's intuition from afar, she is still young, and she can't help but look twice. It's just that the twilight is four, the light is dim, and you can't really see it. As he was looking, he saw the woman suddenly beckoning to him.

Wang Xiaolang thought to himself that it was so late, a single woman was here alone, didn't there was something difficult to help with? He put the oil picker on the side of the road, walked towards the woman, and asked as he went: "The girls beckon, but what do you want the villain to serve?"

Wang Xiaolang got closer, and only then did he see the woman holding her belly, about five or six months, and thought that she was a pregnant woman.

The woman lowered her head, and her hair hung loosely on her forehead and on the sides of her cheeks, covering most of her small face. Hearing this, he didn't raise his head, but said in a thin voice: "I want to ask Wang Xiaolang for help." ”

Wang Xiaolang was taken aback, "The villain that the lady knows?"

The woman still bowed her head and whispered: "The family has bought Xiaolang's oil, and I have seen Xiaolang from afar, so I recognize it." ”

Wang Xiaolang let out an "oh", said that this is the case, and asked: "What does the lady let the villain do?"

The woman lowered her head and stretched out her arms to point back, and said, "Enter here, there is a stout crooked-necked willow tree about twenty paces, please Xiao Lang try to cut off the thickest branch and burn it." ”

Wang Xiaolang was very strange when he heard her request, and couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked the woman, "Dare to ask the lady what she is doing with that willow branch?"

The woman suddenly hid her face and wept, crying and saying, "I miss my parents-in-law day and night, and I want to meet them, but I am bound by willow branches, and I can't get out of my body here......"

Wang Xiaolang was inexplicably surprised by her words, what does it mean to be fettered by willow branches, can willow branches detain people?

Thinking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that in June this year, Liu Shi, the wife of Yang Yi, who was engaged in the tea business in the east of the city, heard that she was hanged on a willow tree in this forest. Wang Xiaolang's face changed in an instant, and a cold sweat was about to come out.

Only then did I realize where the awkwardness of meeting just now, now that it was almost winter, the weather was getting colder, and those who were afraid of the cold had put on jackets. But the woman wore only a thin silk cloth, and she was not afraid of the cold.

He stammered and asked, "Are you ...... You are...... Who is it?"

A breeze blew aside, covering the woman's face. A corner of the eye is exposed, and a striking tear mole under the eye.

Wang Xiaolang even seems to have frozen in cold sweat and dare not go down, this must be the Liu family! The Liu family is an extremely beautiful woman, although there is a tear mole under her eyes, but it adds a bit of charm to her. Wang Xiaolang also took a look at it from a distance, and was particularly impressed by the tear mole.

Wang Xiaolang immediately wanted to pull out his legs and leave, but his legs were weak and he didn't listen to the call. But I heard the woman say: "Xiaolang, don't be afraid, I have no grievances with Xiaolang, so naturally I won't harm Xiaolang." Please also ask Xiaolang to cut off the willow branch and burn it as soon as possible, let me get out, and I will repay Xiaolang for his great kindness. ”

Wang Xiaolang was so calm that he didn't dare to look at her anymore, but only stared elsewhere and replied: "Willow branches...... The willow branches are very thick, and I don't have any tools to take advantage of today, so why don't you bring an axe to cut them tomorrow?"

The woman nodded slightly, "Xiaolang must keep his promise, I am still waiting for Xiaolang here at this time tomorrow, Xiaolang must come." ”

After Wang Xiaolang heard what she said, he felt that the yellow shadow in the corner of his eye flashed, and when he looked at it again, there was no half a figure.

I saw the willow branches, cold and dark, and the sky was dark.

He shouted, took a few steps to the side of the road, and staggered forward. Suddenly, remembering that the picker was still in place, he had the courage to turn back, picked it up and ran away.

The autumn day is dark fast, when Wang Xiaolang stumbles back to Xingqiao Hutong, a round of moon is born, hanging obliquely in the sky, the moonlight is sprinkled in the world, shining on the old trees and low walls, and the narrow alleys are forested.

As he walked, he felt a rustle behind him, as if something was following. He couldn't help but look back, and he was patient and brave so that he wouldn't run wildly.

Finally got to the door of the house, I couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out my hand to slam the door, and shouted: "Mother, open the door quickly!"

His mother trotted inside, and came back with a stack of voices: "Coming, coming!" while muttering in a low voice: "Dead boy, come back so late, I lost my panic and screamed the wolf......"

As soon as the door was opened, Wang Xiaolang immediately squeezed in, slammed the door behind his hands, and then turned around and carefully inserted the door with the bolt.

His mother looked at her son's lost soul in surprise and asked, "What's wrong, hell?"

Wang Xiaolang's face changed, and he pulled his mother and walked into the house, saying, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

His mother looked at him suspiciously, and when she saw his pale face, she didn't ask any more.

The two entered the hall and gave the oil lamp a light, and Wang Xiaolang got better. His mother hurriedly served him food, and Wang Xiaolang used it indiscriminately. Only then did he relieve his spirits, but he still didn't dare to mention what happened to him. His mother asked several times but kept silent, so she gave up.

When he went to bed at night, Wang Xiaolang hugged his futon and went to sleep in his mother's room. His mother was unwilling, afraid that if someone found out, she wouldn't know what to gossip about. But seeing that his son didn't know what he had encountered, he was frightened like this, and when he was distressed, he let him take two benches and build two planks in his room and sleep.

On the second day, the rooster outside the house reported the dawn, the red sun rose in the east, and the white sunlight shone in through the window paper, which dispelled the haze in Wang Xiaolang's heart.

He carefully learned to his mother what he encountered yesterday evening, and his mother was also bluffed. After a while, Fang said: "We are not afraid! We don't do bad things, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." What should be afraid is the eight calves who have lost their conscience, the family that is destroyed by a good family is ruined, and the eight calves who are killed by God, why doesn't God thunder......"

Wang Xiaolang saw that his mother was getting more and more excited, and hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth, "Stop scolding, let people hear carefully!"

His mother had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, but she still spat on the ground with hatred, muttering: "Look at the thunder of God and not kill you." ”

turned around and said to Wang Xiaolang: "Since we have promised others, we must do it, it's okay to lose faith in people, but you will be retributed for losing faith in ghosts." Don't be afraid, my mother will go with you tomorrow. ”

Because Liu Dashan's family had not delivered enough oil, Wang Xiaolang made two more trips that day. Every time I pass by that willow forest, my heart is always hairy, and I can't help but want to glance there, and I quickly look away when I see it.

In the evening, I borrowed an axe from a neighbor. Neighbors Zhao Da and Zhao two brothers are woodcutters, who go up the mountain to chop wood every day, and they encounter many things, which is because they are very bold. Wang Xiaolang then invited the two brothers to go with him.

When he arrived at the willow forest, Wang Xiaolang walked to the place where the woman pointed yesterday and led the three of them into the forest. After walking about 20 steps, I saw a large crooked-necked willow tree, and one of the thick branches stretched out obliquely.

Wang Xiaolang said: "It should be it." ”

The Zhao brothers are used to doing this work, and they don't need Wang Xiaoer's mother and son to interfere, they cut down the branch in three or two clicks, and the four of them burned it clean.

The flames were about to run out, and the smoke was curling, and a few people only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and there were more women on the ground more than ten steps away. It was still a goose-yellow shirt, and his long hair was scattered at the side of his face, covering most of his face.

She bowed down to a few people from afar, and said softly: "Thank you to a few neighbors Gao Yi, the Liu family has thanked you here." If we get out of trouble today, we will surely have revenge and revenge, and there will be revenge and revenge......"

As she spoke, the person stood up, took a few steps back, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air, but the voice was still heard from afar, "Poor my child has just taken shape, and there are no bones left in Xianggong......"

The voice was gradually distant, and only a few words seemed to say that he would be paid for by blood.

Rao is Zhao brothers are bold, and at this time, the hairs on their bodies are standing on end, and several people look at each other, and they all see the look of horror in each other's eyes. They marched forward in unison and hurried out of the woods.
