It was already noon, and the rituals in the courtyard stopped after a while, Jiang Ping saw Ye Xiaoyu and Ling Yu standing next to them, so he came over and invited them to go to the canteen to have some light meals, Ye Xiaoyu declined Jiang Ping's invitation because he had already eaten.

At this time, Liu Banxian, who had taken off his robe, also came over to greet Jiang Ping.

It was the first time for Ye Xiaoyu to see this legendary "half-immortal" with boundless mana so closely, the half-immortal looked very old, full of white hair, and a peaceful face, quite a bit of a fairy. Seeing Ye Xiaoyu and a group of children standing there, he waved to them with a smile on his face, very kindly.

After learning the news that Ye Xiaoyu had finished lunch, Jiang Ping no longer insisted and took Liu Banxian and the others to the dining hall to eat.

Looking at their backs, Ye Xiaoyu always felt that there was something wrong with this matter. But he didn't have a clue at all, so he decided to hand over the matter of embroidering handkerchiefs to Hong'er, and went to the village in the afternoon to find out. Because what she is most afraid of now is that if the rumors are true, one day let Hong'er also meet this thing, she really doesn't know how to enlighten Hong'er, the last time the dead man in the West Chamber, it took Hong'er a long time to come out, if she was frightened like this again, Ye Xiaoyu was worried that Hong'er would collapse.

Therefore, whether this rumor is true or false, you must have a bottom of it, so that even if it really happens, you can know how to deal with it.

Ye Xiaoyu went back to Nanyuan and briefly explained to Hong'er, then changed into a short suit that was convenient for movement, and went out.

Sure enough, these days, Quanxiu Village has undergone a lot of changes, and now it is noon, according to usual, it should be the most lively time of the day, but Ye Xiaoyu walked on the road, and the doors around him were closed, and there was no one.

In front of the house on the side of the road, you can also see the wooden shed that has not been demolished in the past few days, and you can see everywhere in the wooden shed the incense ash, candles and other things left over due to the practice, scattered all over the place, a gust of wind blows, scattered paper money is flying all over the sky, and Quanxiu Village, which was still prosperous and lively a few days ago, suddenly became decayed and deserted. Walking on the road, it feels like entering a deserted village.

finally met a woman, Ye Xiaoyu was about to step forward to ask a few words, but when she saw Ye Xiaoyu, like seeing a ghost, she quickly ran home and closed the door tightly.

Quanxiu Village has become like this, but Qian Yi didn't even mention it in class, maybe in the hearts of literati like him, this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.

Suddenly, in front of the door of a house in front of him, there was a sound of talking, and Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly ran forward as if he had seen the dawn.

"Auntie, why is there no one at noon?"

A teenager dressed in light blue asked, standing in front of the house.

"You don't know, there has been a lot of panic in the village recently, and everyone is afraid to come out except for things like washing clothes that have to be solved. Many people in the family are sick. ”

The woman said as she held the doorknob with her hand as if it were about to close.

"I just saw this hanging in front of your door, does that mean anything?"

The boy asked, pointing to an ornament that resembled a large "Chinese knot" hanging in front of the door.

"Oh, this, this is given to us by Liu Banxian, and it is used to ward off evil spirits. Okay, I'm closing the door too, you can go back early alone, don't go in the village......"

The woman spoke, and without waiting for the boy to finish, she hurriedly closed the door.

The young man who had eaten the closed door shook his head helplessly, and suddenly saw Ye Xiaoyu standing aside, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile.

"Didn't you promise Mr. not to bother?"

Ling Yu asked Ye Xiaoyu with a smile.

After lunch just now, he found an excuse to get rid of the clingy Lu Qian and came to the village. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Lujiazhuang, walking on the road, the appearance of Quanxiu Village really startled him. finally caught a person and didn't ask a few words, so he ate the closed door.

"Didn't you say yes?"

Ye Xiaoyu also asked with a smile.

"In a short period of time, this village has become like this."

Ling Yu did not answer Ye Xiaoyu again, but changed the topic. In just a few days, such a prosperous village has become like this, which shows that the power of that thing is beyond expectations.

"I was also shocked when I came out just now."

Ye Xiaoyu was also surprised, now that the village is so deserted, Lujiazhuang is like an isolated island.

"The woman said that when you encounter that thing, you will fall into a coma as if you were dead. It seems that there are many family members in our village who have this disease, and the son of Aunt Huang, who cooked for us, is sick, and the meal in the kitchen at noon today is made by Mother Liu alone. ”

Ling Yu said as he walked.

Ye Xiaoyu was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Ling Dagongzi, who only cares about Lu Qian on weekdays and does not eat fireworks in the world, would observe these things so carefully, and sure enough, she may really not be able to see people accurately.

"It's broad daylight now, and nothing should happen. I think we should come at night when it's dark. ”

Now that the sky is blue, no matter what that thing is, it won't be stupid enough to appear at this time. Therefore, Ye Xiaoyu felt that if she wanted to find out its true face, it would be better when it was dark at night. However, as soon as she said this, she regretted it.

"Huh? Well, you're right, we should come in the evening. ”

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a smile. Ye Xiaoyu's words just now can be regarded as inviting herself to join her, right?

"Uh...... I mean, it's probably easier to spot that thing when it's dark, and if you happen to be free, we don't necessarily get to run into it again......"

Although Ling Yu was slightly stunned, Ye Xiaoyu saw it all, and she felt that what she said just now was too reckless, first of all, although the two of them usually talked something, they were not familiar enough to move with each other. Secondly and most importantly, as a girl, how could she invite Ling Yu so casually, and even invite him to be alone with her at night, this behavior is too unrestrained here.

"Hah...... I know, but I guess if we meet in the village, we might be mistaken for each other, and it would be bad if we were hurt by our own people. Well, I have a building, so as not to hurt the innocent, let's meet in the garden......"

Ling Yu followed Ye Xiaoyu's explanation and said.

"That's fine......"

A smile tugged at the corner of Ye Xiaoyu's mouth, and he instantly lowered his head and said. Because she felt that Ling Yu must have understood her words just now, but she didn't say anything, and she was suddenly embarrassed again.
