"You know me?" Zhou Hongxian looked at Xie Qiao suspiciously, in her memory, Xie Qiao's voice sounded a little familiar, but she couldn't remember that she had seen Xie Qiao, because that night in Qingfeng Village, Xie Qiao's face was hidden behind the torch, and she didn't have time to see it clearly in a panic.

"I recognized the wrong person, don't worry about it." Xie Qiao opened his mouth to deny it, he looked at Zhou Hongxian carefully, but he hid his curiosity and exploration of her in his heart.

Zhou Hong now got straight to the point and said: "This Lang Jun is Xie Qiao Xie Ziping? ”

"Exactly. Who is the lady and why is she coming to our house? ”

Seeing Xie Qiao's self-identified identity, Zhou Hongxian looked overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "My name is Zhou Hongxian, and I am entrusted by someone to come here to find you." ”

"Zhou-Hong-Xian?" Xie Qiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, to his ears, this name was inevitably a little masculine, and it had a great sense of disobedience with the weak temperament of the lady in front of him.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with my name?"

Xie Qiao smiled faintly: "Oh, it's okay. May I ask who the lady is entrusted by? ”

Zhou Hongxian opened his mouth, but he looked very hesitant, Xie Qiao couldn't help but say: "Why doesn't the lady say anything, is there something unspeakable?" ”

"Well, because what I'm going to say next is a bit bizarre and complicated, so please be mentally prepared first."

"What do you mean by that?" Xie Qiao couldn't help but be stunned, he politely pointed to the seat and said, "The lady is here to be a guest, sit down first!" ”

"If you don't sit down, I'm afraid you'll have to blast me away after a while!" Zhou Hongxian took a deep breath, because of nervousness, her cheeks were slightly red: "In order to avoid subsequent misunderstandings, I will first confess my identity to you, in fact, I am not a human being, but a fox demon." ”

"Kitsune?" Xie Qiao was stunned again, but there was a playful smile in his eyes.

"I'm not joking with you, please listen to me first."

"Okay, lady, please speak." Xie Qiao nodded politely.

"Do you remember your wife Liu Qian?" Suddenly, a thunderbolt blurted out from Zhou Hongxian's mouth, almost making Xie Qiao jump: "Do you know my wife Qianniang?" ”

Zhou Hongxian nodded and said, "She asked me to come to you." ”

Xie Qiao's eyes immediately turned red, and he also lost his usual calmness, he was pleasantly surprised: "Zhou Niangzi, please tell me where Qianniang is, I have been looking for her for six years!" ”

Zhou Hongxian's expression was gloomy: "I'm sorry, it's not easy for you to see her now." ”

"Why?"

"Because she's dead."

"Dead?" The excitement on Xie Qiao's face was still unsubsidy, such a big turn almost made him unable to react, but after he reacted, his face was immediately full of displeasure: "Zhou Niangzi, what are you kidding?" ”

"I'm not joking with you, because I'm a fox demon, and I'm actually the ghost of Qianniang, who is in a very miserable situation now, and needs you to come to her rescue!"

Xie Qiao said angrily: "This lady, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, please leave by yourself, don't force me to send off guests!" ”

Zhou Hongxian sighed: "I understand your mood at this time, I expected you to be like this, so I asked Qianniang for a token at that time, you first see if you recognize this!" With that, she turned her back and took out a hosta from her bosom and handed it to Xie Qiao.

"Qianniang said that this hosta was a token of love that you gave her before she got married, and she always wore it on her head when she died, so she asked me to transfer it to you."

Xie Qiao took the hosta, his eyes immediately became very different, surprise, longing and tenderness were intertwined in it, after being silent for a long time, he looked at Zhou Hongxian, and said in a calm voice: "Your words are hard to convince me, I don't believe that Qianniang is dead, unless you can prove that you are really a fox demon!" ”

Zhou Hongxian's expression was a little embarrassed: "It's not difficult for me to prove that I am a fox demon, but it's a little uncivilized." ”

"Uncivilized?" Xie Qiao was puzzled, but saw Zhou Hongxian gritting his teeth and said: "Forget it, proof is proof, let you take a look, I have a lot of meat!"

After a while, Xie Qiao was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say with a straight face: "What kind of system?" Put your skirt down! ”

Zhou Hongxian hurriedly put down his skirt, blushing and said, "You should believe it this time, right?" ”

"It's been six years, and this is the last thing I dare to think about!" Xie Qiao sat down in a daze, a look of pain gradually rose in his eyes, and finally he looked up at Zhou Hongxian and said, "Can you tell me, how did my wife die?" ”

Fifteen miles outside Husu County, pine slope forest.

Xie Qiao, the old servants of the Xie family, and the four strong men hired were following Zhou Hong all the way through the forest.

It was noon, and the red sun was in the sky, but the trees in the forest were so thick and graves everywhere that everyone who came here still felt a chill down their backs.

The four strong men walked all the way, complaining all the way: "Mr. Xie, this Songpo Forest is too evil, that is, for your sake, otherwise ordinary people will not come here if they make silver!" ”

Xie Qiao's expression was blank, and the old servant beside him spoke for him: "Okay, you guys, if you want to ask for more money, just say it, don't talk all the way!" You're embarrassed to boast of your guts, hmph, I think you're not as good as the lady in front! ”

The four strong men blushed after hearing this, and finally stopped speaking.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Hongxian finally stopped, pointed to a crooked neck tree in the forest and said, "Qianniang's bones should be buried under this tree!"

Xie Qiao's expression finally fluctuated: "Zhou Niangzi, are you sure this is it?"

Zhou Hongxian nodded: "That's what Qianniang told me, that's right!"

When the four strong men heard this, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright: "This lady, what you said is so crazy!" ”

Zhou Hongxian ignored them and only looked at Xie Qiao, Xie Qiao nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "Dig it!" ”

The four strong men were instructed by their employers to pick up hoes and start the earth, and it was not long before a thin and unpainted coffin burst out of the ground.

Seeing that the coffin was really dug up, the four strong men opened their eyes wide, and then turned their heads to look at Zhou Hongxian. Zhou Hongxian's expression was solemn, she glanced at Xie Qiao, only to see that Xie Qiao's eyes were always staring at the coffin, his expression struggled several times, and finally spit out two words from his mouth with difficulty: "Open the coffin!" ”

The lid of the coffin was finally opened, due to the damp environment of the Songpo forest, there was already only a white skeleton left in the coffin, and the four strong men and the old servants of the Xie family only glanced at the coffin, and immediately turned their faces away.

Only Xie Qiao, his tears had already begun to spread, he fell to his knees by the coffin, howling and crying, and many crows in the forest were frightened by him and scurried around.

Zhou Hongxian wanted to say that it was not appropriate to stay here for too long, but she saw that Xie Qiao was crying too sadly, so she deliberately stepped forward to remind him to hurry up and take Qianniang's bones back for reburial, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt too ruthless, so she had to stand aside honestly like everyone else and wait for Xie Qiao to vent his emotions to the fullest.

But suddenly, one of the four strong men shouted in shock: "What a big mouse! ”

"Liu San, are you blind, such a big head is clearly a rabbit - my God, what a mouse!"

Zhou Hongxian was also shocked by everyone, she looked in the direction they pointed, and saw that there was really a mouse as big as a rabbit making a hole in the grass. She had a thrill in her head, and she shouted in a hurry, "Catch that mouse, don't let it run away!" ”

However, it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, the mouse had already disappeared into the hole he had made.

When the sun set, the Songpo forest was already empty, and the yin qi gradually gathered on the surface, and Songpa Town once again appeared out of thin air.

In the luxurious manor of the old ghost of Songpo, the old ghost of Songpo was throwing a bloody boar's head to the ground like thunder, and his belly made an angry voice: "Second brother, what are you doing, what you are looking for is not the head of a cat or a dog, or the head of a pig, but what I want is a human head, a human head!" ”

Yu Erlang embarrassedly picked up the boar's head on the ground, and his tone was embarrassed: "Big brother, the younger brother is shallow, where will I find you a fresh head in a while, you will use it first, and it will not be too late to find a suitable head and then change it!" ”

The old ghost of Songpa was silent for a long time, and said: "Okay, I want to count this account on the head of the fox lady, and in addition, Qianniang and her should be together inside and outside, and I can't spare it!" By the way, I asked you to go and get Qianniang back, how did you do it? ”

"This-"

"What, you messed up this too?"

"Big brother, the younger brother went a step late today, and the fox lady took Qianniang's husband Xie Qiao to take the lead and dug up her bones!"

"What, can't you snatch it back from her?"

"Big brother, listen to me, the fox lady brought a lot of people at that time, and the younger brother didn't confront her out of caution!"

The headless old ghost of Songpo stretched out his finger and pointed at one place and said, "You-you are really cowardly!" ”

Yu Erlang smiled awkwardly: "Big brother, your evaluation is also appropriate!" ”

The old ghost of Songpa was so angry that he went crazy: "Don't give me your head quickly!" ”

Yu Erlang trembled and walked over and handed the boar's head to the old ghost of Songpo, the old ghost of Songpo raised his hands, pressed and turned, and the head of the wild boar fell into place, and it was tightly closed with his neck.

Yu Erlang glanced at it and said, "Big brother, I didn't say it, the human head before you was too small, this pig's head obviously fits a lot, and it looks majestic!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the wild boar head on the neck of the old ghost in Songpo opened his eyes, he first let out a pig snort, with two fangs, his expression immediately became hateful, and he said hideously: "The fox lady deceived me too much, tonight I will kill the Xie family to recapture Qianniang, and then the fox lady and those people will be broken into ten thousand pieces!" ”
