Early morning.

Chen Yan lay on the bed, flipping through his mobile phone.

At this time, the morning fog had not yet cleared, the sun's rays were still very weak, and there was a hazy feeling everywhere.

The morning fog in spring is actually not much different from the drizzle in spring.

It's all tiny droplets of water floating in the air.

"Someone Died Again......"

Chen Yan looked at his phone and muttered softly.

Dead people are not uncommon, after all, the goblins have killed many people.

Chen Yan continued to flip through the news on his mobile phone, and a picture swiped over, Chen Yan just skimmed and did not pause.

pictured.

A man, and a blue-haired woman, lay quietly on the ground.

They are all dead.

……

This is already the second day that Chen Beibei and they have returned from the back mountain of Qinghe Town.

Ever since she came back, Snow Maiden seems to have been in poor health.

It's like I'm sick.

Although the Snow Girl has always said that there is no problem, looking at her pale face, Chen Beibei is still a little relieved.

Before the sky was fully bright, Chen Beibei had already gotten out of bed.

"Master, are you awake ......"

Guan Hu's voice sounded, probably the footsteps of Chen Beibei walking, which woke up Guan Hu.

"Guan Hu, I'm sorry, I've made a noise with you."

Chen Beibei said apologetically.

"No, it's just that I just woke up."

Guan Hu got out of the bamboo pipe and said softly, his slender body looked very light.

"You go on to rest, I'll go see the Snow Maiden."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he planned to go out.

Guan Hu turned into a dignified woman in a white dress, with a touch of red eyeshadow on the corner of her eyes, looking at a different kind of beauty: "Master, I'll go with you." ”

The Snow Maiden's house, at the very end of the corridor, is also the most remote room.

It was her own choice.

Although there are still many empty rooms in the middle, Snow Girl still chooses that room, probably because she likes to stay quietly alone.

Chen Beibei's house is still very big.

Now these Shikikami live in houses, and they are still not fully occupied.

Guan Hu kept following Chen Beibei's side, without saying a word, and the two of them soon came to the door of the Snow Girl's room.

"Snow Maiden, open the door."

Chen Beibei knocked lightly on the door, and then said.

"The host, the door...... It's not ......"

The Snow Maiden's voice was a little weak, and she looked very weak.

Chen Beibei hurriedly walked in.

The Snow Maiden's room is still quite large, and if you sleep alone, it looks a little empty, and there is no decoration in the room.

This is also chosen by the Snow Maiden herself.

The walls are snow-white and the floor is white tiles, and there is a chill when you step on them.

The whole room, even the quilt and the Snow Maiden's clothes, were white.

Everything is snow white.

Maybe it's because of this appearance that it can make her feel more home, that ancient snow-capped mountain.

"Snow Maiden, your body seems to be worse."

Chen Beibei looked at the Snow Girl and said worriedly.

I don't know why, since she came back, Snow Girl has been listless.

The body is also getting weaker and weaker.

"Master, I'm fine."

Snow Girl replied.

The snow girl's reluctant smile and bloodless face made Chen Beibei feel a little heartbroken.

"I'll get you a doctor."

"No, you don't."

"This time, you must listen to me, no matter what, you have to see a doctor."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he left the Snow Girl's room directly.

Although the doctor is not easy to find, let alone the door-to-door, Chen Beibei is still confident that he will find a doctor for the Snow Girl.

Just like before, I found a doctor for Gu Bird.

If you can't call it, then choose violent means, and in any case, bring the doctor.

The Snow Maiden is human.

So even if you ask the doctor to see a doctor, there is no problem.

The only thing that might make the doctor suspicious is probably Snow Girl's slightly lower body temperature than usual.

During the day, the hospital was still open, so Chen Beibei went directly to the hospital and found a doctor.

Although some effort was wasted, some money was also spent.

However, it went well.

……

"Her body temperature is very low, and everything is normal when she is physical."

The doctor said this after examining the Snow Maiden.

Low body temperature.

This is the reason for the Snow Maiden herself, and it used to be.

So...... Everything is working fine......

This also means that there is no disease in the Snow Girl's body.

Chen Beibei had no choice but to send the doctor back.

……

The frail Snow Maiden.

The whole room was white, but the whitest was the snowmaiden's bloodless face.

The Snow Maiden reached out and touched her forehead.

It seems like a headache.

"Snow Maiden, do you have a headache?"

Chen Beibei looked at the Snow Girl and asked her.

"Hmm."

Snow Girl replied.

Chen Beibei had already seen it, and the Snow Girl didn't intend to deceive him.

"Master, you don't have to worry about me, I just have a little headache, and it will be fine soon."

The appearance of the Snow Girl feels extremely weak, how can it be just a headache?

"Snow Maiden, when the hell did you do this?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"I don't know, it's supposed to be after I get home."

Snow Girl replied.

"Were you injured when you fought Yaksha before?"

"Nope."

In the mountains behind Qinghe Town, the Snow Maiden fought with the head of the Yaksha.

At that time, Chen Beibei didn't see Yaksha hurt the Snow Girl, but what is the current situation of the Snow Girl?

A youkai that has existed since ancient times.

You won't get sick.

In this particular case, something must have happened.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm."

The Snow Maiden turned her back and whispered, "Master, please don't worry about me. ”

"Did the head of the Yaksha launch a sneak attack on you when you were fighting the Yakshas?"

Chen Beibei ignored the Snow Girl and continued to ask.

The Snow Girl didn't want Chen Beibei to waste time on her, and she would carry her own affairs.

Don't want to bother the hosts!

It's just out of that mentality.

"Well, although the head of the Yaksha sneaked up on me, it didn't hurt me, just bit off a few of my hairs."

"Hair?"

"Yes, master."

Snow Girl replied.

Just bite off a few hairs, that's all.

Chen Beibei fell into deep thought, if the Snow Maiden's current situation was related to the Yaksha, then it must have something to do with that sneak attack.

After all, it was only during that sneak attack that Yaksha approached the Snow Maiden.

Before, the two of them had kept a safe distance.

"Master, could it have something to do with the curse......?"

Guan Hu asked softly.

Guan Hu is still relatively clear about the things in some monsters, and this is all because it has been closely following its former owner, the descendants of Ashiya Michiman, and it can be regarded as a matter of hearing and seeing.

So Guan Hu has always known a lot of things.

"Cursed?"

Guan Hu's words made Chen Beibei figure it out all at once.

The Snow Maiden looks like she is now, as if she has been cursed by someone else.

A certain curse!

Although he had already guessed that the Snow Girl's current situation might have something to do with the curse, Chen Beibei was still not happy.

After all, a curse is no better than being sick.

It's even more troublesome.

Among the drunken boys, there was a woman named the Ugly Girl.

There is also such a Shikigami in the Onmyoji.

It is a goblin with an iron nail and a scarecrow that can curse others.

During the fight between the Snow Maiden and the Yaksha, the Yaksha bites off several of the Snow Maiden's hair.

In such a battle, why did Yaksha risk biting the Snow Maiden's hair? The approximate reason can already be guessed by now.

When you curse someone, you need something in someone's body.

Or something that is closely related to the object of the curse.

The most common ones are usually using hair or things like nails.

Because these things belong to the human part.

But after losing it, it won't feel anything, so it can be easily taken away.

At least, things like hair and nails.

It will be easier to take away than other parts of the human body.

"Looks like the Snow Maiden has been cursed."

Chen Beibei said worriedly.

"It should be, master."

Guan Hu replied.

The Snow Maiden was still lying on the bed weakly, without any reaction.

At this time, Snow Girl must have some thoughts in her heart.

About death.

Or maybe it's about some memory that can't be put down.

"Snow Maiden, if it's just a curse, there will definitely be a way to unravel it. Don't worry too much. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the Snow Girl and comforted.

"Well, the master ......"

Snow Girl smiled reluctantly and replied, her face still pale.

"We left ...... first"

"Yes, master."

Chen Beibei took Guan Hu and left the Snow Maiden's room, and in the Snow Maiden's room, Chen Beibei was not good at discussing the curse in the Snow Maiden.

After all, Chen Beibei knew that the curse of the Daughter of Ugly Times was not so easy to unravel.

"Guan Hu, the daughter of the ugly time?"

Chen Beibei and Guan Hu had already returned to their rooms, and there were only the two of them in the entire room.

"I heard from my former master ......"

"Then tell me a little bit about her."

"Master, what's wrong?"

"The curse in the Snow Maiden may be because of the Ugly Girl."

Guan Hu frowned, his face full of worry: "In this case, it will be very troublesome." ”

"Guan Hu, is the curse of the Daughter of Ugly Time very powerful?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"yes. In the Heian period, there was once an adult who fell in love with his woman. After a night of fish and water with the new love of the adult.

At night, the adult dreamed of a woman standing by his bed.

She held a hammer and a nail in her hand, the nail was five inches long, and the woman's hair covered her face, so there was no way to see her face.

When the adult was confused, the woman placed the nail on the sole of the adult's foot and began to beat it with a hammer.

Even though the adult was very scared and wanted to run away, his body was out of control.

The woman finally drove all the five-inch nails into the soles of the man's feet.

Then he said, 'I'll come back tomorrow.' ’

When the woman had said this, she left the lord's house.

After the woman left, the adult's body was finally able to move. He thought it was just a dream, but he found that a red spot appeared on the sole of his foot, and it was very painful.

The lord still didn't care.

The next night.

After the adult fell asleep, he dreamed of the woman with the hammer and the five-inch nail.

This time the nail site is the knee.

After the nail was driven in, the woman said, 'I'll come again tomorrow.' ’

And so the woman came on the third day.

For six days in a row, the nail part became higher and higher each time, and on the sixth day, it had been nailed into the man's mouth. This made him speak indistinctly.

In the end, the man already sensed that something was wrong, so he called someone to invite Abe Harumi.

Day 7.

The woman came anyway, this time with the nail aimed at the man's forehead.

However, he was still deceived by Qingming with a scarecrow.

If it's a day too late, no matter who it is, there's no way to save you. ’

When the adult thanked Harumi, Harumi said.

The adult survived.

However, most people who are cursed by the Ugly Girl will lose their lives.

After all, most people will not be as lucky as that adult, and can get help from Abe Haruaki. ”

"That woman is the daughter of the ugly time, right?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Yes, master."

Guan Hu replied.

From the story that Guan Hu told just now, you can get some information.

The first is that after the Ugly Girl curses a person for seven days, that person will die.

Second, the curse of the Ugly Girl can be unraveled.

In the story told by Guan Hu, Abe Qingming used a scarecrow to pretend to be the adult.

deceived the daughter of the ugly time.

Since then, the Daughter of the Ugly Time has not gone to the Lord again.

As for whether Abe Harumi did anything else, there is no way to know.

"Guan Hu, do you know the way to break the curse of the Ugly Girl?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Master, I don't know about this......"

Guan Hu lowered his head and replied.

There are not many legends about the Daughter of the Ugly Time, and in the various books that Chen Beibei has read, there is no record of the method of breaking the curse of the Daughter of the Ugly Time.

However, there is a saying that as long as the Ugly Girl casts the spell and is seen by others, her curse will be invalidated.

This method, although it looks very simple.

But it's also very difficult.

When the Daughter of the Ugly Time casts a spell, it is usually between 1 and 3 o'clock in the evening.

Moreover, when the Ugly Girl casts a spell, the location she chooses is also very hidden, and it is difficult to be discovered.

Abe Haruaki can break the curse of the Ugly Girl.

This has something to do with Abe Qingming's mastery of yin and yang, and Chen Beibei wants to break the curse of the daughter of the ugly time, so naturally it will not be so easy.

"Anyway, let's give it a try."

Chen Beibei said.

"Well, master. Let's do it tonight, it's seven days, and today is the third day. ”

Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and reminded softly.

Counting from the time of the curse in the Snow Maiden, it is indeed the third day, which also means that there is not a lot of time left for Chen Beibei and them.

There is no overtime in the past few days, and I go to work at 7:40 every day and leave work at 6:40, a total of 11 hours. But after working overtime, it will be a long time to work, and I heard that there are still 12 o'clock. Terrible......
