"Crickets?" Tang Xu looked at the few remaining small insects on the ground in surprise that were not immediately eaten by the fighting, the black and swarthy little things that couldn't even distinguish between the head and the body, not at all like the noisy and deadly appearance of the crickets in Tang Xu's impression.

"Is this a cricket? How not like it? Tang Xu thought to himself, could it be that even the crickets have mutated in the past thousand years? Or is it that the later crickets are an alien species, and the cricket deity left by the ancestors is actually like this.

"This little brother is a scholar at first glance, and he is different from us croppers." The man who won the cockfight looked at Tang Xu and smiled innocently, and he didn't mean to laugh at him.

"What the little brother has seen must have been bought from the vendor in June and July to play with the crickets, which have already grown." The man explained, pointing to the ground and saying that they had not yet grown and had just been dug out of the earth.

"I see." Tang Xu suddenly realized, he felt very embarrassed, he pretended to be a modern person's brain, he saw that he liked to think about everything in complicated places, and he didn't have basic common sense, fortunately, he was just surprised and didn't say what he thought he thought, otherwise it would make people laugh out of his big teeth.

"Thank you for the advice." Tang Xu arched his hand and saluted the man respectfully.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, Childe must have been born in a rich family, and what he does must be a university question, these irrelevant village things don't know how common, Childe doesn't have to be so polite." The man was a little proud and a little timid, and hurriedly put the chicken in his hand and helped him up.

Although the man insisted, Tang Xu still bowed again, and outsiders seemed to be able to look down on the countrymen only as if he was polite and thorough. But Tang Xu thought of another thing in his heart. He thought of the cage that the cricket seller used to hold the crickets, which were woven into bamboo strips on all sides to ventilate the wind.

If you wrap the holes around the coffin with that kind of net-like thing, and sprinkle some withered grass on top of it, you may be able to hide people's eyes and ears without worrying about the high temperature and then draw out the ghost fire.

Tang Xu had this idea in his heart and rushed straight to Zhang's place, Zhang saw Tang Xu coming alone and asked Xiaocui why he didn't come with him, Tang Xu truthfully told him that he had not returned home, and this time he had made a special trip to discuss some things with Bai Lun. After hearing this, Zhang didn't say much, went back to the house to be busy with his own affairs.

Tang Xu told Bai Lun about his plan, Bai Lun was suspicious but had no legitimate reason to refute it, so the two made an appointment to visit the ghost house after dinner. After making an agreement with Bai Lun, Tang Xu went back to the house first, and today it seems that everything is normal, Tang Jin and Tang Ru are also doing their own things.

Tang Xu went back to the house and asked Tang Zhao and Tang Cai, who were guarding the door, to find Tang Jin, after Tang came in, Tang Xu deliberately asked him some things about preparing for flower appreciation, Tang Jin replied fluently and said that he had found a performance team to play the wind, and then they would go together to increase the fun of flower appreciation. Tang Xu was satisfied with what he heard, rewarded him with money and praised him for his ability, and Tang Jin withdrew after receiving the reward.

Xiao Cui, who had been sitting next to him, frowned after watching Tang enter and exit the door, and asked him if anything had happened, Tang Xu closed the door and told her about the appearance of Tang Jin in Feng Mansion today, and the fact that someone was pretending to be Feng Yu. Xiao Cui's eyes widened when she heard this, especially since it was unbelievable that someone was pretending to be Feng Yu.

"Could it be that Feng Shilang was trapped by the people in the house, so someone dared to impersonate, if Feng Yu knew that the emperor asked you to go to see him, could he be so bold to ask someone to pretend to be himself?" Xiao Cui said her guess.

"Tang Lang, Feng Shilang is an important minister in the court, have you ever had any dealings with him?" Xiao Cui remembered that Tang Xu had said that Feng Yu was drunk at the gate of the palace and caused a riot.

"I recognize it, but I don't usually have any contact." Tang Xu replied, wondering if she remembered Feng Yu when she was drunk, but at that time, she was afraid that she would be worried if she was involved in Xiaocui, but now it seems that it was probably just a small dispute.

"Since he recognizes it, he even dares to let people pretend to be, so he is not afraid of you exposing it?" Although Tang Xu has come back safely, Xiao Cui still feels very afraid, although Tang Xu is now also a close minister of the emperor, and ordinary people dare not calculate him, but Feng Yu's identity is also very prominent and his personality is flying and domineering, and it is not impossible to do this kind of thing to Tang Xu.

"Maybe he'll be able to hide it from me." Tang Xu comforted Xiao Cui, but in fact, he didn't know if Feng Yu's move had a trick, if he exposed him on the spot, would he lock himself up, or simply kill people? Although Tang Xu didn't know what Feng Yu was planning, and he didn't know whether he was worth it for Feng Yu to do this, he was afraid of everything. The more Tang Xu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his forehead began to sweat, but fortunately, he kept an eye on it at that time and did not expose it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Could it be that Feng Shilang was really trapped by the servants at home?" Xiao Cui mentioned this possibility again, and Tang Xu was noncommittal.

"In short, when this is dangerous, you must be cautious." Xiao Cui's brows are still locked, as long as she is dealing with people, she can't be completely at ease anywhere.

"I will, don't worry." Tang Xu picked up her face and gave a kiss to her tightly knit eyebrows.

Not long after, Tang Ru and Tang Bao came in with a food box and put their dinner inside, Tang Xu told Xiao Cui that he was going out for a trip when he was eating, Xiao Cui remembered that Tang Xu and Bai Lun came back in the middle of the night last night and was very nervous, vaguely she knew that the two of them must be doing something, but Tang Xu insisted on not mentioning it, and she didn't want to keep asking, and she believed that Tang Xu's actions and decisions must be correct, but having said that, she was still very worried in her heart.

When he was about to go out, Xiao Cui couldn't help but tell Tang Xu again, Tang Xu could only nod and reassure her, he planned in his heart that he must apologize to Xiao Cui when this matter is over, and he must also tell her everything before and after.

Tang Xu walked forward with a lantern, and met Bai Lun who came in a hurry, and the two of them would continue to walk forward after being together, and soon arrived at the gloomy mansion that had been here several times.

Tang Xu first checked the tools that had been placed here before, and they were all put away properly, it seemed that no one would really come in here. It seems that the reputation of the haunted mansion has long been outside, otherwise even if there were no thieves, there would definitely be a few beggars to live here.

It's still early to rest, Tang Xu plans to make a quick decision, he doesn't want Xiao Cui to wait for him to go home in the middle of the night. He walked around the house looking for something to weave a net, but there seemed to be no other way to weave it than the rope he had brought into the yard.

"There it is!" Tang Xu looked up at the dead tree by the pit, he reached out and tugged at the branch, and the branch with the small buds of leaves still retained considerable flexibility. Tang Xu felt that it was perfect to use this to weave a net.
