Chapter 1: Ghosts

Next Chapter

Midsummer 1873.

At night, when the night was confused, Chen Miaoji probed his brain in the bamboo forest to see if anyone was following him. After making sure that no one was following, he dared to lean on the bamboo and breathe a sigh of relief. I vaguely noticed a 'ghost' floating not far away, a woman floating in the air wearing a white dress like snow, and her long, silky and flowing hair fluttering in the wind...... The posture is graceful, slightly sideways to the cheeks and the white neck curve, and from a distance it looks noble, elegant, and otherworldly, still and the picture is frozen. Chen Miaoji's heart was suddenly moved, and then his heart beat faster.

The gloomy bamboo forest carried an evil aura, and the trembling Chen Miaoji cautiously moved forward......

The woman in the white dress was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and her heart skipped several beats. The woman reflexively turned around and looked at Chen Miaoji.

The woman's name is Ai Xiaoman.

"What are you doing?" Chen Miaoji was very curious, and there was actually a weak woman in this bamboo forest at night. looked at Ai Xiaoman seriously, although she was beautiful but still a little immature. She was only 15 years old this year, and he was 18 years old.

"I'm here to repay the favor!" After Ai Xiaoman blurted out, he hurriedly covered his mouth, not understanding why he would say to repay his kindness? I don't know this person at all, what kind of favor do you repay? "I'm going to catch the rabbit!"

"Catch rabbits?" Chen Miaoji coughed dryly. looked Ai Xiaoman up and down: "What kind of rabbit do you catch at night?" ”

"Who are you?" Ai Xiaoman floated in mid-air, her feet couldn't reach the ground, staring at Chen Miaoji intently, anxious and crazy in her heart.

Chen Miaoji looked at the face of this little beauty, beautiful! But the face was pale and pale, the two looked at each other, Chen Miaoji looked at Ai Xiaoman's dark blue eyes and straight eyes, and couldn't help but feel furious in his heart...... When I was a child, I often listened to my master tell ghost stories, but I didn't expect to bump into a living one today, and I was scared and my feet subconsciously retreated. I thought of those graves in this bamboo forest, and I was shocked, is this the reason why I can't live to be 18 years old? Chen Miaoji slowly stepped back, stumbled and fell, and when he got up suddenly, he found that his arm was painful, not a dream...... "Ah...... Hell! ”

"You're still afraid of ghosts, aren't you?" Ai Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing Ai Xiaoman's disdainful tone, Chen Miaoji felt that his image as a man collapsed instantly, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? I've been a martial artist since I was a child. ”

"Since you're not afraid, what are you running? Coward~"

"You? You, you, you ......" Chen Miaoji said coldly: "If you are really a ghost, then I am a ghost." Chen Miaoji posed to catch ghosts, which seemed to be quite professional. Although he has worshiped Mao Dao as a teacher since he was a child, he has not really met a living ghost. What are the ghosts and gods? But as an exorcist offspring...... Hey, it's inconsistent. I have to say that there is still a hint of coolness in my heart.

Ai Xiaoman stared at Chen Miaoji's funny appearance, and then covered his mouth and smiled. (You guessed it, definitely a mockery!) )

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Miaoji was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm very serious!" I'm really a ghost catcher. As he spoke, he took out a Rigid Eagle C-26 from behind him and gestured, but his trembling feet betrayed him.

"Can you catch ghosts like a bear? Which Taoist priest is like you? Ai Xiaoman shook his head disdainfully, and then winked at him.

"Anyway...... This is a 'trade secret' that no one can understand. Chen Miaoji's eyes turned away, not daring to look into her eyes.

"Since you're a ghost catcher, how can you not tell if I'm a human or a ghost?" As he spoke, the long skirt behind Ai Xiaoman floated up.

Chen Miaoji was stunned for a while, and then looked at Ai Xiaoman with wide eyes, a little surprise, a little surprise, and more worry. Because Ai Xiaoman's appearance is really like a ghost, really like a ghost......

"If I were a ghost, I would have eaten you a long time ago. Are you still hanging here? Ai Xiaoman struggled in mid-air. The shadows of several transparent ropes could be faintly seen, which turned out to be entangled in them. She hid from her big brother and came out to figure out magic.

As soon as the rope was released, Ai Xiaoman took Chen Miaoji's hand instead. "Don't go yet." dragged Chen Miaoji and evacuated quickly. I've heard the legend about the bamboo forest tomb, and it's too scary to stay here at night.

After arriving in a remote place, Chen Miaoji found that Ai Xiaoman had turned his back to him. Chen Miaoji looked Ai Xiaoman up and down, feeling that something was wrong, "Where are your shoes?" Chen Miaoji pulled Ai Xiaoman's sleeve.

Ai Xiaoman instinctively shrunk his bare feet, frowned, and his face instantly turned red: "Where are you touching?" As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and hugged the tree, and after realizing it, he felt that something seemed to be flowing out of his nostrils, wet and thick.

"Ah~" Chen Miaoji suddenly panicked: "What's wrong with you?" Don't scare me...... I didn't do anything! ”

"What are you panicking about? I was just out of breath for a while. Ai Xiaoman covered his nose. It's just a nosebleed, what a fuss! Ai Xiaoman raised her head and looked at Chen Miaoji with a calm expression.

"Vomiting blood when you can't breathe?" Chen Miaoji stepped back, his body shuddered, and he shook his head violently: "It's terrible." ”

Ai Xiaoman was stunned for a while, and glared at Chen Miaoji with disdain.

At this moment, Chen Miaoji felt that his heart didn't know why it hurt, so he hurriedly rummaged through the water in his bag, and then handed it to Ai Xiaoman.

Ai Xiaoman pouted, glanced at him secretly from time to time, looked suspicious, and never dared to pick it up.

"Is it possible that I will harm you?" Chen Miaoji looked at Ai Xiaoman seriously. hurriedly rummaged through the handkerchief in the crossbody bag...... "I'm not afraid that you are a ghost, are you still afraid of me?" Chen Miaoji looked at Ai Xiaoman sincerely.

Ai Xiaoman thought about it carefully, then looked at Chen Miaoji and then at the handkerchief and water in his hand.

Chen Miaoji handed the water and handkerchief to Ai Xiaoman again. Ai Xiaoman took it in a sneer. Then he simply sat on the ground, wiped off his nosebleeds, and drank water. Looking down at his bare little feet, the thumbs and forefingers of the feet warming each other. Finally mustered up the courage, looked up and smiled sweetly at Chen Miaoji, and opened his arms to ask Chen Miaoji to carry her.

"What are you doing?" Chen Miaoji's neck shrank back: "Don't take an inch?" ”

"Don't you see? I don't have shoes, you have to carry me! Ai Xiaoman said domineeringly.

"If you don't have shoes, I'm going to carry you? What's the truth? Chen Miaoji scanned Ai Xiaoman up and down with the eyes of ice and fire: "Men and women don't kiss!" ”

"Hurry up, if you don't carry me, I'll bite you." Ai Xiaoman didn't seem to be afraid of this kind of gaze, and his eyes were sharper than Chen Miaoji's.

Chen Miaoji's monologue: It's really hard to raise a woman~

When Ai Xiaoman leaned on his back, he felt that his heart was beating fast and fast, and his face couldn't help but be slightly hot. She struggled violently: "Let me down." Although the expression on his face was faint, there was a complicated look in his eyes. Although he was reluctant, he had a trace of expectation in his heart.

"Don't move~ If you mess around again, I'll leave you to feed the wolves." Chen Miaoji's tone was playful.

"You dare?"

As soon as Ai Xiaoman's words fell, the whole person fell heavily to the ground: "Hey, hey~ stinky rascal, do you really let go?" Ai Xiaoman subconsciously hugged Chen Miaoji's thighs tightly. The two looked at each other in surprise.

"You asked me to let go!" Chen Miaoji spread his hands helplessly and said teasingly.

Ai Xiaoman pouted and glared at him viciously...... Chen Miaoji had no choice but to let her continue to lie on his back. After walking for two or three hours straight.

"Hey, hey......" Chen Miaoji complained exhausted and dissatisfied: "Where are you going?" We've all been around for a century. After saying that, he kept coughing.

"It'll be there in a moment." Ai Xiaoman's lips were pale, and he dozed off one by one after finishing with difficulty. She was lost, thinking that if she found the old kapok tree on the side of the road, she would not be far from home.

'Who have you been blinded to?' You've said it hundreds of times. Chen Miaoji muttered quietly. When you are full, you come out to suffer this sin. ”

"What do you say?" Ai Xiaoman tilted his head, trying to listen to what Chen Miaoji had just said.

"No, no, what can I say?" Chen Miaoji cautiously wanted to turn his head to look at Ai Xiaoman, but Ai Xiaoman was lying on his back and was sleepy. Chen Miaoji's heart chuckled, and he said softly: "Squint for a while, I'll call you later."

The two of them finally arrived at the location in Ai Xiaoman's impression, but they didn't see the ancient kapok that Ai Xiaoman said.

Ai Xiaoman, who was exhausted, lay on the ground in frustration, beating the earth and crying bitterly, his face was a little sad, a little anxious, a little angry, a little painful, and more begging: "It's obviously here, how can it be gone?" Why is it gone...... "It's fun now, I can't find my way home." Hey~ Serious road idiots are miserable.

"What's missing?"

Ai Xiaoman was no longer able to raise his head, and his lowered little cheeks were already full of tears: "The way home!" ”

"Do you use a ladder to go back to your house?" Chen Miaoji looked at the sky quite surprised, and then said happily: "Why don't you go back with me and be my bride~"

Halfway, Ai Xiaoman looked up and stared at Chen Miaoji for a while, wiped his tears, and smiled contemptuously.

"What are you laughing at!" Chen Miaoji held a fan in one hand and looked surprised (the fan was the ** of the Gangying C-26 just now)

Ai Xiaoman leaned on the trunk of the tree, her arms were naturally placed, in the breeze, she arranged her hair with one hand, and while entrenched in exposing her slender legs, she looked soft and boneless, but there was no lack of grace. "Although you are lustful, you are not despicable and shameless, bully me, a defenseless and weak woman." Ai Xiaoman propped his chin, looked at Chen Miaoji seriously, and then smiled.

Chen Miaoji was startled at first, then stunned, closed the fan, turned his back and covered it up seriously: "Let me tell you, I'm a famous playboy, we just met, don't always look like you know me very well." ”

Looking at Chen Miaoji's panicked appearance, Ai Xiaoman couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Little brat~ I don't have the time to play with you." After saying that, he got up and left without looking back.

Chen Miaoji was very unhappy when he heard Ai Xiaoman call himself a little child, and when he heard that he was leaving, he felt a little reluctant in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Ai Xiaoman.

"Hey! Feed? You're a road idiot, where can you go? Who called me unlucky, so tell me the address of your house, and I'll send you back. I don't dare to say anything else, but no one is more familiar with this area than I am. Chen Miaoji couldn't help but chase after him.

Ai Xiaoman stood still, turned his head faintly, and tried to look at Chen Miaoji's peach blossom eyes with wide eyes......
