The old woman deeply regretted that such a rude woman, even if she could be her daughter-in-law, would she be able to live a good life?

Fang Lei helped her chop the firewood branches, fold them neatly, and after tying them with mountain vines, she moved into the firewood room, and the old woman remembered and hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, I have to cook quickly, or I will be scolded again if I don't wait for her to come back!" ”

"Isn't this lazy woman sleeping at home?" Fang Lei asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old woman said: "No, after she came back from shopping for vegetables just now, she went out again, or did the old man dare to let you in and talk to you a lot?" It's no wonder if you don't get scolded to death! ”

"Where did she go?" Fang Lei asked.

The old woman said, "I don't dare to ask her about this!" ”

"Humph! Even the world has changed! In the past, the daughter-in-law waited for her mother-in-law, but now she is the mother-in-law waiting for her daughter-in-law! Xia He said.

Just then, the goblin came back and said, "So what? This is all caused by the dead old woman, who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and forces her son to divorce his wife and marry me as her daughter-in-law, thinking that in this way, she can become a rich woman! ”

"Goblins! Why don't you hurry up and reveal your original form? How dare you come out to confuse people and seek death! Fang Lei said.

When the old woman heard this, she asked in astonishment, "What?" She's a goblin changer? ”

"Dead old woman, you are right, I am a grasshopper spirit who has been cultivating for ten years, can turn into a human form, speak human words, that day when I was hidden in the grass, I heard your son and daughter-in-law coming from a distance, husband and wife love, talking and laughing, jealous, vowed to break them up, so I pretended to faint, entered your family, and now finally realized the plan, don't leave now, when will you stay?"

As he spoke, he had already turned into a grasshopper and flew away.

Only then did the old woman come to her senses and sighed: "Son! It's all me, a mother, who hates the poor and loves the rich, is obsessed with ghosts, beats mandarin ducks, and forcibly breaks up the two of you, when will you come back? ”

When the three of them left, Fang Lei said, "Old woman! That's your own sin, it's up to Providence! ”

But it was said that Fang Lei and Xia He, little fox, when they returned to the inn after dinner, the boss asked, "Son!" Did you have a good stay last night? ”

"Okay! Thank you to the owner, the room is clean, airy and comfortable! Fang Lei said.

The boss said happily: "I'll just say it!" In Pour Water Town, guests who have stayed at the Old Husband's Inn will not go to the second inn! ”

"Yes, every town, there is a good boss, a few days ago in Qingshi Town, there is also a boss told me, you live satisfactorily, the result is also a comfortable environment, thoughtful service, in this hot and cold, the world is in a declining society, it is really rare!" Fang Lei said.

The boss said: "No matter what business you do, if you don't operate in good faith and make money only by opportunism, you won't do it for long!" ”

"Shop! The guests staying with you are all well-informed and well-informed, has anything new happened recently? Fang Lei asked.

In order to track down the whereabouts of the five goblins, he only had to inquire everywhere, because the five goblins are very hidden, changeable, plus the social atmosphere is turbid, the goblins are surging, and there are also goblins everywhere, the grasshopper spirit he met in the morning, wearing a green coat, looks very similar to the green snake spirit, the sea of people is vast, and it is not easy to trace their traces!

But Fang Lei knows the truth of "all changes do not deviate from their sect", goblins are born to be the masters of the world, as long as there are people who are killed, maybe there will be goblins there, just exterminate them, whether they are five demons or not? There is a mistake in killing, and there is no letting go, if the grasshopper spirit just now, if it hadn't escaped quickly, it would have been "ten years of Taoism and one day of mourning"!

The boss said: "Yes, if it weren't for the son's question, the old man almost forgot, just now a distant relative of mine, chatting about a strange thing, someone in the village found in the mountain temple, I don't know who is buying the soul, as long as the soul of a child under the age of three, a baby about one year old is better, ten taels of silver each, I don't know what is the use of buying?" ”

Fang Lei heard it and asked in astonishment: "This is really a fantasy!" Can a person's soul be sold? ”

"The old man doesn't believe it either, but he has a clear eye, so you don't believe it!" The boss said.

Fang Lei asked, "Is that relative of yours still here?" It piqued my curiosity! ”

"Yes, he is the village chief of Hejia Village, he will go to the town at noon today to do errands, and he will only go back tomorrow morning, so he lives in the wing room at the back, and the old man will take you to ask for an understanding now!" The owner said enthusiastically.

Fang Lei said: "Okay! If so, I'd like to go with him! ”

As he spoke, he followed the boss and came to the back room, and the boss said, "Cousin! Tell this boy about buying souls, maybe he can know the reason! ”

He village chief said: "More than ten days ago, a couple in the old man's village, holding a baby about one year old to the mountain temple to pray for blessings, because the child cried at night, so that the couple could not rest at night, to take turns to hold to fall asleep, and returned to normal during the day, suspected that it was a ghost, so to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless, expel these filthy ghosts, when the couple held the child and knelt down, suddenly heard the mountain god say, the child is because the soul is unwilling to be trapped in the body, at night, it will surge fiercely, Make the child cry more than once, only the god can make the soul out of the body, calm the nerves, as long as you and your husband can publicize and mobilize the villagers, the soul of the child under the age of three to the god, each ten taels of silver, the god can cure the child, whether it is good or bad, it depends on the ability of your husband and wife, later, as soon as the two of them combined, they wrote a notice and posted it at the door of the mountain temple: the god buys the soul of children under the age of three, each ten taels of silver, does not affect the growth and development of the child, if you agree, please kneel in front of the statue of the mountain god, Even if the transaction is successful, there will be an income of ten taels of silver, and later several families who have sold their souls will be paid ten taels of silver! ”

"And then? Is a child who has sold his soul any different from a normal child? Fang Lei asked eagerly.

Village Chief He said: "Those children, the amount of food has become bigger than before, but they just don't grow meat, and they are greedy for sleep, as if they will never sleep enough!" ”

"Of course! If a person sells his soul, he will only have a body left, become a walking corpse, and lose his spirit, this must be done by the goblin, tomorrow I will go back to Hejiaao with you to see who is the demon doing it? Fang Lei said.

Village Chief He said: "Okay! The people in the village are all deceived, so it's better for Childe to go and warn them! (To be continued.) )
