In the west of Guanlin Village, there is an old temple, although it is built simply, but it is the sustenance of the faith of the whole village for many years, but people go to tea and cool, and the old temple has become a broken temple.

These days, Bai Chenquan thought this was a place to rest, but when he came back with the dog and eggs today, he found that there was an extra person in the temple.

In his early thirties, he looks similar to Brother Sheng, wearing a gray short robe, clear and delicate, and should be a scholar.

Bai Chen didn't plan to deal with this person, but the person came up by himself: "Is this child sick?" ”

Sick? Didn't you faint with fright? Could it be that something is really scared?

When I looked at the dog in a blink of an eye, I was really sweating for a while, and my forehead was faintly hot.

In the middle of the night, in a plague village, where did he go to find a doctor to treat the dog?

"Eh, what are you going to give him?" Seeing that the man didn't know what he took out of his pocket, it was black and smelly, and he was stopped by Bai Chen.

The kindness was rejected, but the man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I have read a few medical books and understand a little." When I went out, it was inevitable that there would be an accident, so I prepared some medicine on my body, seeing that this child was really uncomfortable with his illness, and wanted to help a little. ”

Strange to say, although the mass looks ugly and smells a little disgusting, the effect is good, and it only takes a few minutes to feed it, and the dog's body will no longer sweat.

"In Xia Baichen, that ...... I just lost my respect, thank you sir for your help. Bai Chen thanked him a little embarrassedly, looked at the person in front of him again, and asked for a long time, "You don't seem to be from Guanlin Village, right?" There's a plague here, it's too late to hide, what are you doing here? ”

He looks good, has read books, and understands medical skills, he shouldn't be from this village, not to mention, the young and middle-aged people in the village have run away, what is he doing in such a dead village alone?

It is not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Bai Chen came here to find out the origin of this plague and resolve the crisis, and now that such a person has appeared, it is inevitable to feel suspicious.

"Yu is indeed not a local, but he was passing by here, remembering that he had been favored here, and he couldn't bear it, so he came to the temple to worship."

Favored? Just those selfish philistines? Together with the people of the village, they refused to come to the rescue when they were in trouble, and they hid in the house one by one as accomplices, but they would help a stranger who had never met before?

It's a joke, it's ironic.

"Mr. Yu was really lucky back then......"

"What?"

Bai Chen waved his hand: "No, I mean Mr. Yu is fortunate not to be infected with the epidemic here, so let's leave as soon as possible." ”

"What about you? This little brother, aren't you going to leave with that child? ”

Brother? Where is he small?

Bai Chen didn't answer, and looked at the dog.

In the case of the epidemic in the village, if you want to protect the dog from being infected, you can only send him out first, but he doesn't have that time. I received news that the epidemic in Guanlin Village had spread, and because of the control of the spread of the epidemic, an order had been issued to burn the village.

"Does Mr. Yu believe that there will be ghosts in this world?" Bai Chen hugged the dog to the stack of grass, turned his back to him and asked, "Or, did Mr. Yu ever think that his relatives would become ghosts one day?" ”

The surnamed Yu was stunned for a moment, his back stiffened, and he talked about this ghost and god at night, which really made people's hearts furious: "Little brother, you ...... Why do you have such an idea? ”

"From here, to the east, there is a deserted grave in which a woman is buried." Bai Chen leaned against the wall and sat on the haystack, "You know what? ”

nodded: "When Yu entered the village, he did see a dry grave. ”

"That's my mother."

Bai Chen's voice was very soft, as if he was speaking to himself, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but to those who listened, it was like a thunderclap.

After gasping, the surnamed Yu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

The desolate grave, he had seen, was obscured by half-man-high weeds, and beside it there was an old tree that had been burned down, and all that was left was black charcoal and a stump the size of a basin, so desolate that it made people mourn.

"Since I was a child, I only had a mother, no father, my mother was a cowardly character before her death, in the past few years in Guanlin Village, we have suffered a lot of bullying and white eyes, even after death, we are not welcomed."

The surnamed Yu was silent, a little puzzled, why Bai Chen suddenly wanted to tell him this, but he didn't feel impatient, just sat down against the Buddha platform and listened quietly.

The dog turned over on the haystack and muttered a few words of sleep.

"I was reluctant and left the village ten years ago to find that person and some answer. But today, when I returned, the village became what it is now, and those I hated and those I didn't hated either died or fled. ”

"Did you find your answer?"

The surname Yu interjected, he didn't care about this village, but he cared about the answer that Bai Chen said, maybe Bai Chen said this because of the confusion somewhere in his heart.

Bai Chen shook his head: "I can't find that person, and I can't find that answer." ”

"Ten years ago, my mother was murdered and died in the fire, ten years later, the plague raged in Guanlin Village, Uncle Wang said that it was retribution, and some people said that it was my mother's ghost who came back to seek revenge......"

"Yu doesn't agree with such a statement!" Before Bai Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by the surnamed Yu, and his emotions were agitated, and his face was red, "You said that Ling's mother was cowardly before her death, but in Yu's opinion, Ling's mother must be a gentle person, so how can she be a ghost who asks for people's lives?" ”

Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and almost made a noise to the sleeping dog: "You haven't seen my mother again, how do you know if she is gentle or not?" ”

"Yu just thinks so." The surnamed Yu laughed twice, saving some face for some gaffes, "As the saying goes, children follow their mothers, daughters follow their fathers, you are not evil, you must have been influenced by your mother when you were a child." ”

Bai Chen didn't speak, fell into silence, lowered his eyes, didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't seem to be thinking about anything, just blindly empty.

"Again, people die as ghosts, and even ghosts were once living people. It's just that the external form has changed, but the nature of the mind has not necessarily changed. ”

Bai Chen sneered: "You are an interesting person, as if you have seen a ghost." ”

How did he know that once a person becomes a ghost, his heart will really change, and the resentful spirit is not an example? The resentment in the heart trumps the love in the heart, and the spirit exists only because it harms others.

The surnamed Yu didn't speak, but had a serious face, as if he wasn't joking: "Little brother, Yu believes that if your mother's ghost is really still in this village, it must be here to bless you, and it will definitely not harm anyone." ”

Bai Chen was stunned, his right palm rubbed against the damaged piece of ink jade hanging on his chest, yes, his cowardly mother couldn't even resist, how could he come back and hurt people?
