Chapter VII Garden Villa

The ghosts exiled in hell are not all evil ghosts, at least Chen Ping has seen many ordinary people along the way, although the houses are dilapidated, but the little ghosts in them are still the same as the yang world, doing the work of cleaning up food and sewing furniture. Many sweet potato-like fruits were hung in a string on the railing in front of the house, and it was unknown whether it was dried rats or dried meat from other small beasts in the thatched clearing. At first glance, these areas, surrounded by countless dilapidated houses, resemble gardens in a garbage dump, adding light to the darkness of hell.

Dozens of ragged, scrawny demons hid in the ruins not far away, as if afraid of the sun, their eyes greedily and hateful as they looked at the residential area, their mouths full of sharp teeth dripping with disgusting black slime. A strong resentment wrapped around them like a black mist, and Chen Ping got goosebumps when he saw it.

Chen Ping saw that there seemed to be lights on in the residential area, and the little ghost with the appearance of a woman came out of the house and gathered the food before it got dark. Chen Ping subconsciously asked Chen Mo: "Shouldn't there be all evil ghosts outside the underworld?

Chen Mo had already seen the woman come out of the house, with a smile of surprise on his face, he walked forward quickly, and when he heard Chen Ping's question, he smiled heartily, he had long known that Chen Ping would ask such a question, but Chen Ping could observe the environment before expressing doubts, and he was still a little relieved in his heart, he must think twice before acting in hell, so as not to be deceived by foreign objects as much as possible.

Chen Mo pointed to the lights in the women's room, and explained to Chen Ping in a relaxed tone: "Do you see those lights? When these people gather together, the aura formed by Fuyuan will envelop these houses, and the current residential areas will be formed, in fact, a long time ago, these residential areas were called safe areas, because in addition to the underworld, it is the safest here. ”

Chen Mo noticed the woman's gaze and nodded slightly, but he still explained to Chen Ping: "The division of the safety zone is not determined by the underworld, but by the little ghosts who hold the fire candles, the attraction of the fire candles to the evil ghosts is like a moth to a fire, no matter how evil the ghosts are deep in their hearts, they also yearn for the light and hope to be redeemed, so the evil ghosts on the periphery surround the safety zone in the hope of using all means to seize the fire candles." ”

Chen Ping nodded, his fear of evil ghosts unconsciously turned to pity and hatred, for himself, evil ghosts were more like garbage that needed to be cleaned up than broken crockpots in the ruins.

The woman noticed that the guest came to the door, and a stiff smile appeared on her sallow face, Chen Mo took the first step to salute the woman, and then said to Chen Ping: "This is the benefactor who once saved my life, just call her sister-in-law." ”

Chen Ping was slightly surprised to see Chen Mo showing a sincere smile, but he still stretched out a hand and handed it to Sister-in-law Lin, and said a little shyly: "It's not a secret, I really didn't expect that there were ordinary people like you outside the underworld, and I was still asking Brother Mo just now, what is going on in this area." Now that I walk in, my sister-in-law is even more beautiful than I imagined. ”

Sister-in-law Lin looked at Chen Ping's outstretched palm, a trace of incomprehension and shyness flashed in her eyes, her fingers kept twisting between the corners of her clothes, and she looked at Chen Mo with a little embarrassment, Chen Mo smiled slightly, touched Chen Ping with her shoulder, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law Lin has been living in hell for more than five hundred years, and when it comes to seniority, you can be your ancestor." Your set of modern etiquette is still out of place in front of your ancestors, and you won't be able to make a fool when you see people in the future, just nod your head. ”

Sister-in-law Lin nodded at Chen Ping slightly apologetically, and said to Chen Mo: "Lord Chen Mo, there is still some food in the villain's house, if you don't dislike it, just eat it at my house and leave." ”

Chen Mo casually picked up two large fruits from the sweet potato-like fruit on the side, handed one of them to Chen Ping, wiped the peel on it at will, and sent it to his mouth. Chen Ping followed Chen Mo's example, and wiped the peel on his clothes at will, and then took a bite of it.

Unlike the taste of sweet potatoes, this fruit has a waxy taste, but the taste is a little bitter. Chen Ping felt that it was difficult to swallow after taking a bite, looking at Chen Mo, who was eating on the side, and twisted his head around embarrassedly, Chen Mo seemed to be aware of Chen Ping's gaze, and swallowed the flesh in his mouth with a grunt, before he said: " This fruit has no name, just call him sweet potato, don't look at this fruit is unpalatable, but these are all planted by Sister-in-law Lin herself, compared to the wild fruits in the ruins outside, this sweet potato is simply a sugar cake, hurry up and eat it Don't waste it, get out of the safe zone for a while, let the evil ghosts see that you have food, be careful that they will come to snatch it if they are desperate. ”

When Chen Ping heard that it was Sister-in-law Lin who planted it herself, no matter how unpalatable it was, she had to swallow the sweet potato, Sister-in-law Lin saw that Chen Ping seemed to be eating too quickly and choked her throat, gently patted Chen Ping's back, and smiled lightly: "Sister-in-law Lin, I have planted sweet potatoes for so long, but I still can't grow the taste of the ground, if you can't get used to eating it, sister-in-law still has jerky." ”

Chen Ping felt the gentle and peaceful strength from his back and the concerned voice of Sister-in-law Lin, his heart suddenly soured, and the flesh in his mouth became dull and tasteless, he has lived alone since his parents passed away, and it was the first time in so many years that he felt the care from his elders, and unconsciously, his mother's figure flashed in front of him. Chen Ping held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, struggled to swallow the flesh, raised his head and smiled stupidly at Sister-in-law Lin.

Sister-in-law Lin saw that there seemed to be a mist rising from the corners of the eyes of the child in front of her, and she felt slightly bitter in her heart, and sighed secretly: They are all poor people.

Chen Mo watched Chen Ping finish eating the sweet potato, and bowed slightly, it seems that this kid is not like a pampered person, and it will be much easier to take him with him in the future. Turning his head to look at Sister-in-law Lin to the side, she smiled warmly and said: "Then Sister-in-law Lin, we will go to the office first, he will start working on an errand tomorrow, and there will naturally be a lot of trouble for you in the future, and I hope you can take care of it more." ”

Sister-in-law Lin nodded in response, and watched Chen Mo take Chen Ping to the outside of the safe zone. Chen Ping walked a few steps, seemed to feel Sister-in-law Lin's gaze, looked back, Sister-in-law Lin smiled at him slightly, her eyes were kind, Chen Ping quickly turned around, not letting Sister-in-law Lin see the fog that was constantly gathering in her eyes.

Chen Ping walked towards the darkness with the light on his back, and there seemed to be some kind of belief slowly sprouting in his heart.

The sunlight began to dissipate imperceptibly, and the darkness opened its bloody mouth, gradually engulfing the two of them. Chen Ping felt that the entire space seemed to have undergone drastic changes, and the cries of the evil ghosts were terrible and chaotic, and they had more and more tendencies to converge towards him. The air was clearly filled with greed and jealousy, and this undisguised sin surrounded Chen Ping.

Chen Mo stared, patted the back of Chen Ping's hand, and gently wrote in Chen Ping's hand: Don't make a sound.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of low-level evil spirit, whose brain is filled with desire and mostly dies by suicide, will only be driven by desire, and the intelligence of the brain is minimal. Under normal circumstances, the dwelling badge he wears with him is enough to ensure his safety with Fuyuan, but I don't know what is going on tonight, so many evil ghosts are wandering around him, and judging from the sound distribution, it seems that he is preparing to hunt himself.

Chen Ping said that he was not afraid must be false, even if the righteousness in his heart was constantly burning, but the current environment was still invisible after all, and the hiss that seemed to be able to evoke his deepest nightmare seemed to be ringing in his ears. To describe his current mood with Chen Ping's undergraduate diploma:

Damn, I'm scared to death Daddy!

If it weren't for Chen Mo on the side who looked more reliable, with Chen Ping's current state, maybe he would have to run back immediately, Chen Ping tentatively stretched his finger to the side, no matter what, pulling my brother Mo, I can rest assured.

Isn't that right? Why no one???

Chen Ping's cold sweat broke out in an instant, playing with birds, and running away from the mountains! My God, I, Chen Ping, am still young, and I can't stand being so scared.

Chen Mo, who was not far away, actually had the ability to see things at night, and he took a few steps first just to secretly bury the formation, this formation was not yet accessible to Chen Ping, and for the sake of safety, he could only stay away from Chen Ping temporarily. Chen Mo had just finished arranging the formation, and when he looked back, he saw a sneaky black shadow raising his arms, trembling and slowly moving around, isn't this Chen Ping's kid?

Chen Ping has words in his mouth: There are unjust debts and owners, it is Chen Mo who always offends you, I will follow the rules, kill people but not the head, there is a kind of first my boss.

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and patted Chen Ping's shoulder, Chen Ping was suddenly slapped like this, his courage was almost shattered, and he screamed loudly at the moment, and the huge sound instantly destroyed the weird atmosphere, and the evil ghost hidden in the ruins seemed to stop moving. Chen Mo was surprised: "Your kid's name is comparable to the order of the king of Hades." ”

Chen Ping's eyes were flushed with tears, and he seemed to be able to see the scene in front of him clearly, a black shadow very similar to Chen Mo stood in front of him, with a warm palm on his shoulder. Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and the fear in his heart dissipated slightly, it turned out that my brother Mo didn't run away?

Chen Mo shook his head, and didn't bother to talk to this thing, the evil ghosts around him seemed to have receded, and it was important to hurry to Chen Ping's residence at the moment, Chen Ping seemed to know that his kind curse was known by Chen Mo, but he followed Chen Mo silently, and a pair of eyes looked around from time to time, as if he was afraid that the evil ghosts would suddenly appear.

Within half an hour, Chen Mo stood in front of an unfinished building, pointed to the house and said to Chen Ping, who looked confused: "Your garden villa, all hardcover, just move in with your bag, do you think you are still satisfied?"

Chen Ping looked at the dilapidated, overgrown ruins around him, a few black and purple flowers growing in the cracks of the rocks, and the two-story building in the style of Jiangnan was like a refrigerator in the garbage heap, Chen Ping's somewhat desperate voice came: "Is it too late to apply for a return now?"

Chen Mo nodded slightly, Chen Ping was carried away by this sudden surprise, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a flattering smile, just about to slap Chen Mo, he heard Chen Mo say lightly: "In principle, I support the deacon to return and change the house, but the house needs to be found by the deacon himself, well, this villa can live in a radius of ten miles here, if you want to change, you can find a place overnight." ”
