It was night, and there was silence in Yuejing City.

Because of the rumors of female ghosts crying at night, the people in the capital turned off the lights early and did not dare to wander outside.

The night was dark, the fog was thick, the pale white moonlight could barely penetrate the thickening fog, and the streets and houses were all wrapped in a hazy cloud.

Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Nengshou squatted in a dark corner, trying their best to integrate their bodies with the night.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, Xiao Nengshou shivered, and said, "Boss... Why don't we go back. ”

Jiang Xiaobai turned a deaf ear to Xiao Nengshou's words, stared at the deserted street with his eyes, and asked, "Are you sure it's this road?" ”

"This is the way..."Xiao Nengshou swallowed.

This road is the only way from Xicheng to Nancheng, Jiang Xiaobai lowered his eyes, and then heard Xiao Nengshou shudder: "I think this matter must be as rumored to be, it is a female ghost who is doing trouble, otherwise there would be no trace... Boss, let's go back, but don't bump into the ghosts. ”

"I've never believed in ghosts." Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xiao Nengshou with disdain, "You are also a man, why are you so bold." Just stay here with me, and don't go anywhere! ”

Xiao Neng listened, so he had to answer with a bitter face: "Yes..."

The night was quiet, and a black cloud quietly shrouded the bright moon, and with a louder sound, Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's coming!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the silent night, and then I heard the cry of the little girl.

"Woo woo, woo woo~"

As the sound got closer and closer, Jiang Xiaobai gradually saw that a sturdy black horse was galloping towards him in the mist, but there was no one on the horse's back.

Jiang Xiaobai's heart was shocked, if it was said that the horse was running out of control, but the cry of the little girl in his ears was real!

The horse must not have such a voice, is it really a female ghost?!

Before Jiang Xiaobai could see it clearly, he heard a spur sound of "pop" again, and the horse neighed, and the speed was even faster, like lightning and flint, flashing in front of his eyes.

"Chase!" Jiang Xiaobai pulled up Xiao Nengshou, who was still trembling, and immediately lifted his internal force and chased after him in the direction of the galloping horse.

With the sound of cries and spurs, the horse strode like a fly, and under the hazy moonlight, went straight in the direction of the southern city.

Jiang Xiaobai chased after him all the way, even if his current light skills were not bad, but the speed of the horse was really too fast, and after a while, it was almost gone

Seeing that he was about to lose it, Jiang Xiaobai was anxious, and suddenly felt that the voice of this little girl was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

After thinking about it, I felt more and more that I had heard this voice, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

"Where have you heard of it, where have you heard of it..."

Jiang Xiaobai chased after him, while recalling, just when he was about to lose the trace of the horse, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered it!

Yue'er! Yes! That's her, the little girl who knows how to do it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly raised his internal strength to the extreme, and shouted: "Yue'er, is it you?!" ”

This sound resounded in the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves really stopped.

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly caught up, and saw a little girl sitting on the back of the horse, with short black hair and a round face, who was tilting her head to look behind her at this time, and her watery but red and swollen eyes were full of doubts.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yue'er, it's really you!" ”

Seeing that it was Jiang Xiaobai, Yue'er was also taken aback, and cried with surprise: "Hey, big, big brother? With that, he jumped off the horse.

Seeing Yue'er's sideways movements, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly understood what was going on.

It turned out that the so-called invisible figure was just that Yue'er was too petite, and what she was riding under her crotch was the strongest big cool horse. It happened that there was a fog in the night, and the horse's speed was too fast, and Yue'er was lying on the horse's back, which caused the visual error of not seeing people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then walked forward and asked softly, "Yue'er, why are you here." ”

"Because Yue'er's home is here." Yue'er replied with a slight gloom in her eyebrows.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows moved slightly, and she suddenly remembered that Yue'er had said that her home was in Wanzhong County, but she didn't expect it to be Yuejing City.

At this time, Xiao Nengshou also rushed over panting, and when he saw the little girl standing next to Jiang Xiaobai, he immediately understood in his heart. It turns out that the rumored female ghost is actually such a delicate and cute little girl... Thinking of Fang Cai's own timidity, he couldn't help but laugh.

And just when Jiang Xiaobai wanted to ask Yue'er why she was crying at night, she saw a few fires lit up not far behind her, and heard someone shouting: "Boss, that female ghost seems to have run in the direction of Nancheng!" ”

It's the yacha of Yuejing Prefecture!

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered Xiao Neng to lead the horse, stretched out his hand to hug Yue'er, jumped over, and hid in the deep alley.

Hearing only a series of footsteps, seven or eight officials passed by with torches, and soon disappeared into the night, as if rushing to the southern city.

After confirming that the officials had left, Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Yue'er blinking at him, and said curiously: "Big brother, aren't you in Guangfu, why did you come to Yuejing." ”

"Uh..."

Jiang Xiaobai was thinking about how to answer, so he heard Yue'er look up and say, "Do you want to come to see Yue'er's performance?" ”

"Well, Yue'er guessed right." Jiang Xiaobai touched Yue'er's head and replied.

When Yue'er heard this, she suddenly became sad: "But the big brother can't see it..."

"What's wrong!" Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Yue'er said sadly: "Because of my father, he is sick." ”

"Huh~" Jiang Xiaobai thought there was an accident, but it turned out that he was just sick, so he comforted: "Yue'er, don't worry, this adult is sick, and he will get better soon." ”

"Not really!" Yue'er pouted, tears rolling in her eyes, "Daddy, he's been sick for a long time, and it's useless to see a lot of doctors... The neighbors all said that this was a collision with ghosts and gods, and it took immortals to cure it. ”

Hearing Yue'er say this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered that there was a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Nancheng, could it be that Yue'er was going to seek immortals? Then he asked again: "So Yue'er just planned to go to the Taoist temple in the southern suburbs?" ”

"Hey, big brother, how do you know?" Yue'er's little face flashed with a hint of surprise, nodded and said, "They all said that immortals can be cured, so I thought about praying in the Taoist temple in the southern suburbs, begging the immortals to save Daddy..."

Her small goose egg round face was full of grievances: "But I went for several nights in a row, and my father's illness did not improve." ”

When Xiao Nengshou heard this, he couldn't help but say, "But why are you crying? ”

"If you don't cry, it will seem that Yue'er is not sincere..."Yue'er muttered quietly.

"What a silly girl." Jiang Xiaobai looked at Yue'er's red and swollen eyes, feeling a little funny and pitiful, touched her head, and said softly: "Yue'er, don't go to that Taoist temple tonight, take me to see your father, okay?" ”

Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Will the eldest brother also see a doctor?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled mildly and said, "Big brother doesn't know how to see a doctor, but he knows an immortal." ”

...

Yue'er's home lives on the outskirts of Xicheng and is a small courtyard.

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of herbs.

Yue'er's mother was sitting on the couch, changing the towel from time to time to wipe the sweat off her husband's forehead.

Seeing Yue'er coming back, I couldn't help but ask, "Yue'er, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Yue'er replied softly: "Mother, look who is coming." ”

Yue'er's mother noticed that there were two people standing behind Yue'er, and when she opened her eyes, she was even more surprised: "You are... The son of Guangfu City?! ”

"It's me, sister-in-law." Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly, and then said, "I heard Yue'er say that the eldest brother was sick, so I thought about coming and seeing." ”

"Childe is kind." Yue'er's mother sighed slightly, and her eyes turned red, "I don't know what kind of sin I have created, and I have contracted this strange disease." ”

Jiang Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Sister-in-law, you said that the eldest brother has a strange disease?" ”

Yue'er's mother sighed again and nodded.

"Can you let me see it?"

"Well, Childe, please."

Jiang Xiaobai leaned forward, and at this look, his brows immediately rose.

I saw that Yue'er's father's eyes were closed, his lips were pale, his skin was full of dark spots, and even his skin was black on his fingers.

Plague?! Jiang Xiaobai's heart was shocked, but he quickly denied this idea, because Yue'er's father did not show symptoms of fever, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, when did the eldest brother get sick." ”

"That's it when I came back from Lingnan County." Yue'er's mother wiped her tears and said.

"Lingnan..."Jiang Xiaobai lowered his eyes, silently recited in his heart, and said: "But what patients or rat nests did you encounter along the way?" ”

Yue'er's mother was stunned, and then shook her head: "No, all the people who go from Lingnan to Wanzhong are official roads." ”

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiaobai held his chin, muttered for a moment, and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the eldest brother will be fine." If it's useful, just open it. ”

"Childe is really kind, our family received your favor when I was in Guangfu City, and now I don't dare to trouble you anymore. Childe's intentions, I understood in my heart. Yue'er Niang said movingly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't say that." Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly waved his hand, turned to squat down, and said softly, "Yue'er, the eldest brother said that he knew an immortal, and I will let him treat your father another day, and your father will definitely get better." ”

"Uh-huh, I believe Big Brother!" Yue'er nodded vigorously, and a smile appeared on her little face.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled softly, stood up and bowed to Yue'er's mother, and said goodbye: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, so I won't bother much, and I'll visit my eldest brother another day." ”

....

After the two of them left the courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai fell into deep thought, he took his hands, paced under the night, and after a long time, he finally sighed lightly and muttered: "Lingnan..."

Xiao Nengshou came over and whispered: "Boss, I think Yue'er's father's strange illness was not caused by the road. ”

Jiang Xiaobai's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Because in recent days, many people in the capital have contracted this strange disease, and most of them live in Dongcheng District. The Criminal Health Department suspects that this is caused by Jianghu people, and is currently investigating the matter. ”
