Although except for Yun'er, they are all heroines with martial arts, and their faces do not change in the face of more than a dozen enemies, but women have the nature of women after all, and they will always be afraid of some weak creatures similar to rats and cockroaches, these harmless animals, and of course, ghosts are also ranked in the top three.

It took a long time for the cries to subside, but the silence that followed was even more eerie.

Zhang Wei pretended to be angry and glared at Xiao Ming, so frightened that the latter hurriedly shrank his head and stuck out his tongue.

Yun'er gently pulled Zhang Wei's placket and said in a low voice:

"Why isn't there anyone here? Where have all the people gone? ”

Zhang Wei was noncommittal, he really couldn't explain this strange phenomenon, not to mention that Yun'er and Qin'er lived in this era, if even they couldn't explain it, how could someone like Zhang Wei who had just come to this world for more than a year know the answer?

It's just that in the hearts of all women, Zhang Wei has always been a great hero who is both civil and military, and knowledgeable, so whenever they encounter something unexplainable, they will habitually seek answers from Zhang Wei.

Qin'er grabbed Yun'er's little hand and pretended to smile easily:

"Oh, I often hear my brother say: now that there are frequent wars, there are few people, and it is common for villages to be abandoned."

Yun'er grew up in the village since she was a child, so she naturally understands the customs and conditions of the village, and she asked puzzledly:

"It's even more strange that most of the abandoned villages were forced to leave their homes because there was no one to farm, but all we saw along the way was wheat growing vigorously, but why was there no one in the village? And who planted those fields? ”

Qin'er didn't speak, she only felt that Yun'er's words were reasonable, but who was taking care of these wheat fields? Thinking of what Xiao Ming said casually just now, he couldn't help but think that Zhang Wei leaned in.

Although Zhang Wei didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't see his fingers around, and there were so many mysteries, he only felt that the atmosphere was extremely weird, and his back was cold.

The carriage walked aimlessly along the country road for a while, and suddenly stopped at the door of a house without authorization.

Following the flickering light of the torches, I vaguely saw that this was a large family, a deep house compound, but the courtyard door was open, as if waiting for someone.

"Huh? Why didn't these horses go? ”

Xiao Ming shook the whip a few times, but saw that several horses moved two steps in pain, but he didn't have the slightest intention of moving forward, just lowered his head.

"After a long day's journey, they are probably tired, so why don't we rest here!"

Zhang Wei looked at several dilapidated houses around him, and only the one in front of him was suitable for resting.

I haven't felt that it is difficult to divide a room before, but in this strange place, the more people there are, the safer it is, and Situ Qing must not be in a room by himself to prevent escape.

In the end, the four girls had to huddle together, and Zhang Wei, Xiao Ming and Situ Qing lived next door.

After hurriedly eating the dry food, Xiao Ming stared at Situ Qing for a while with a pair of big eyes, and asked:

"Since you are the protector of the True Heaven Sect, you should have some skills, can you tell me if there are any ghosts in this world?"

Although Situ Qing was afraid of Zhang Wei, he never took this hairy child in his eyes, so he snorted and said disdainfully:

"I teach to master the great principles of the world, how can these questions be difficult for me, but why should I answer a little hairy child's inquiry?"

Xiao Ming smiled, and suddenly said to Zhang Wei:

"Big brother, I think the laughing punishment you used last time was very interesting, can you use it again?"

Zhang Wei understood and replied with a smile: "Of course you can, you can do it at any time, and this time I thought of a more interesting way than a goat!" ”

When Situ Qing heard this, his face turned green with fright, although the laughter was just a hilarious laugh at the beginning, but if he laughed for half an hour in a row, no one would feel that it was a comfortable thing, and it was common sense that things would be the opposite.

Situ Qing hurriedly said:

"It's boring, it's boring, and if it's late today, and it's pitch black outside, wouldn't it be a sin if my laughter frightened the sisters next door?"

Xiao Ming walked up to Situ Qing with his hands behind his back, and said with a wicked smile:

"There is some truth in what you said, but it's not difficult, I just need to gag your mouth, then I won't make a noise to my sisters!"

Situ Qing hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Okay, okay, I'll say whatever you ask, don't torture again!"

Xiao Ming said with satisfaction:

"Hehe, wouldn't it be nice to be so well-behaved earlier? Tell me, are there any ghosts in this world? ”

"All living beings will die, and the dead will return to the soldiers, this is called a ghost! I'll tell you one thing, and you'll know it as soon as you hear it! ”

Situ Qing said these as if he was a different person, although his face was covered in mud, he couldn't hide his excitement:

According to legend, in the second year of Jianning, a large family in Wu County married, and his wife Zhao was beautiful and unparalleled, and everyone admired him. But this news was known by a group of bandits nearby, and the leader of the thieves was greedy and lustful, so he led more than a dozen thieves to Wu County overnight, forcibly occupied the Zhao family on the night of the cave room, and slaughtered the Wu family and killed more than 30 people. ”

Zhang Weixin said: It turns out that the legend of the female ghost in red has existed since ancient times, but it is not made up by later generations.

He turned his eyes to look at Xiao Ming, who not only did not have the slightest fear, but was squatting on the ground and listened attentively, only to hear Situ Qing continue:

"I thought this was the end of the matter, how do I know that Jianning has been in the past three years, and it is Wu County, and it is a big family surnamed Wu to marry, it is said that the bride is also beautiful, this gang of thieves will take advantage of the night to prepare to repeat the old tricks, how do you know that the group has just arrived in the woods near Wu County, and they can clearly see the lights in the distance, but they can't go over anyway!"

"They're so stupid, can they get lost if they go straight?"

"Hmph, what insight do you have? These thieves have walked this road dozens of times, how can they get lost? ”

He wanted to talk about you child, but thinking of Xiao Ming's threat just now, he swallowed those words hard.

"Besides, Wu County is close at hand, but no matter what, you can't go over, and you will always walk back to the same place back and forth. Not only that, every time they walked back to the same place, there would be one less person inexplicably, and they walked more than a dozen times in total, and in the end, only the head of the thief was left. ”

The thief leader knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly fled the same way he came, and this time he did not go around in place, but walked into a dead end. At the end of the road is the tomb of the Zhao family, there are two light blue ghost fires floating next to it, and there is a woman in red standing at the head of the grave, who is it not the Zhao family? The thief was so frightened that his hands and feet weakened, and he fell to the ground and was in a mess between his legs. ”

The female ghost stretched out her long tongue, and her fingernails were half a foot long, and she looked at the thief with a smile. The head of the thief kept retreating, trying to stand up while crawling, but he felt a round and greasy thing in his hands, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be the heads of his subordinates, and the heads of more than a dozen people were not a lot, and since then he has lost his mind and gone crazy, and he died after living for less than a month. ”

"Hmph, since the thief capital is crazy and the other thieves are also dead, how did you know this story?"

Xiao Ming said it.

Situ Qing replied impatiently:

"Naturally, it will be the thief who said it when he went crazy, otherwise who can paint this matter vividly? Later, the people went to the tomb of the Zhao family one after another to worship, and sure enough, they saw the dozen heads, this matter is widely spread in the Central Plains, if you don't believe it, you will know! ”

Zhang Wei didn't think about it on the side: ancient science and technology were not developed, and any ghost fire or ghost hitting the wall could be explained from a scientific point of view, but the ancients wishfully believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, so he didn't say anything.

Xiao Ming seemed to be very excited when he heard this, he got up and took his little hand behind his back, walked around the ground a few times, and then suddenly said:

"It's not a ghost at all, it's just a master of the array, if it is designed by me, it will definitely be able to achieve this effect, but the ghost fire"

Zhang Wei has a black line on his face, this guy doesn't look like an eleven-year-old child, what is he thinking about all day long? If he lives in the 21st century, he is afraid that he will not be inferior to Einstein!

Zhang Wei stretched his waist and said casually:

"Ghost fire is easy to handle, it's not a difficult thing, as long as there is phosphorus!"

He saw the question on Xiao Ming's face, and Situ Qing was even more suspicious, but as for what phosphorus was, he really couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to change the topic:

"When it comes to ghost stories, I'm the best at it, I'll tell you one."

"It is said that only a child's eyes can see ghosts, because people grow up, their yang energy is strong, and their minds are no longer pure, so many things cannot be seen."

Xiao Ming heard that children's eyes could see ghosts, and he couldn't help but shine his eyes and stare at Zhang Wei intently.

"Once upon a time, there was a man who rode a motorcycle every day, well, he would walk the same road when he rode a horse, but on this day he was in a hurry, he rode very fast, and accidentally hit and killed an old man. When he saw that there was no one around, he buried the old man and continued on his way. ”

"The government didn't know how the old man died, so he did it hastily, this person continued to ride on this road every day, I thought it was calm, but I don't know when, there was a little boy on the side of the road, always looking at him intently when he rode by."

One day he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, stopped, and asked the child, "Why do you keep staring at me?" The child innocently replied: Why do you carry an old grandfather on your back every day on horseback? ”

Situ Qing shuddered after hearing this, and Xiao Ming blinked a pair of big eyes and asked:

"And then?"

Zhang Wei was helpless and explained:

"What's the future, it's just a little story made up, how about it? Isn't it scary? ”

He wanted to tell a few more, but all he knew were ghost stories with modern themes, such as sensor lights, elevators, hospitals, etc., which were not available in ancient times, and could not be told at all.

Just as he was pondering how to add an ancient element to these stories, the door slammed open, and the cold night wind blew out the candlestick.
