[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after Mu Qingming sent Wang Xiaocui away, he looked for the clues provided by Wang Xiaocui and wanted to take his wife to watch a ghost show after nightfall. And Mrs. Qi also took a sedan chair to Aziying at this time, to congratulate Qi Gao's brother. Before I knew it, I heard the sound of sobbing coming from the door. When I opened the door, I saw that Qi Gao's children were missing. led out Mrs. Qi to check Lian'er's residence, but she didn't find anything, and the person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. So it was decided that Fashawong would go back to the city and ask Mu Qingming to check and find Lian'er's traces. And Mu Qingming, who didn't know that the Qi family had an accident, took his wife and apprentice Ah Hong after dinner, and slowly walked out of Shala Lane and went to the area of the Confucian Temple. 】

The small restaurant has not been cleaned and placed for several days, and there is dust in the mess, which has fallen silently on the tables and chairs.

The shopkeepers were nowhere to be seen, only the cold wind swirled slightly in the dim restaurant full of shadows.

The heart-rending cry was a little bleak in the afternoon when the sun was setting and the afterglow was still dissipating, and it soon alarmed the surrounding neighbors. Even if they already knew what was going on, they couldn't suppress the gossip and curiosity in their hearts, and they rushed out to watch the excitement despite the fact that the food was still hot in the pot.

In the blink of an eye, in front of the small restaurant of the Qi Gao brothers' house, there were blind dates on the third floor and the outer three floors, all of whom came to see the excitement. But few of them cared about Qi Gao's younger brothers and sisters who cried and convulsed in the house.

Someone even whispered: "What kind of evil has the Qi family created?" ”。

"It is estimated that on weekdays, I make too much money, and it is a disaster."

In that tone, there was no lack of schadenfreude.

Only Mrs. Qi, who had already stood behind the door, was stunned by the cry, and looked at her brother and sister who were crying with tears on her face, and she couldn't cover the pain and worry on her facial features, and her heart twitched.

After all, it is still her own family, and seeing her younger siblings crying so uncomfortably, Mrs. Qi's eyes are also getting red. But he couldn't hold back, and his hands trembled slightly in the cry.

"Walk away, what's there to see." Shaon hurriedly turned and went out, and after closing the gate, he took the servants with him, and waved his hands vigorously, like a farmer in a field chasing sparrows, and drove away the people gathered outside the door.

In the room, the hookah is echoing, and the choking white smoke is slowly rising. Qi Gao's younger siblings are still crying. Even though I was already crying and convulsing, I couldn't stop the surging tears.

Mrs. Qi is quite calm, and she takes care of Qi Gao, who is out of the horse gang all the year round, inside and outside the house, and she is not surprised. Although he still had mixed feelings in his heart, he also stepped forward quickly, walked to his younger siblings and comforted her first, first calmed her mood a little, and then glanced back, and Brother Qi Gao, who was squatting in the corner with a sad face, sighed lightly.

Qi Gao's younger brother is named Qi Song, who can't beat a fart with three sticks, and is said to have been introverted since he was a child. Since Mrs. Qi entered the door, Qi Song has always been an honest and clumsy person. has such a personality, so that he now sees his wife crying to death, and he doesn't know how to comfort and comfort, he only knows that he is alone and sad.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi knew that she couldn't count on Qi Song, so she endured the impatience surging in her heart, and tried her best to slow down her speech to her younger siblings who had turned crying into sobbing, and asked softly, "What's going on?" What happened to Lian'er? ”。

As he spoke, Sha Weng, who had dispersed the crowd of onlookers, opened the door and walked in. walked up to Mrs. Qi and stood still, and whispered in her ear: "Madam, it seems that Miss Lian'er has suddenly disappeared for a day." That's what the people in the market town are talking about. ”。

Mrs. Qi furrowed her brows, and Qi Gao's brother-in-law sobbed a few times in a low voice before she said, "Lian'er, Lian'er fell asleep at home, and suddenly disappeared, and when she got up in the morning, she was gone." ”。

"Did you find it?" Mrs. Qi asked, her eyes widened. She couldn't have children, and she didn't have any children with Qi Gao. This niece has always been regarded as their own daughter, as their own.

That's why Mrs. Qi worked tirelessly to rush from Kunming City to the mountains, and He Xilian'er was about to get married.

Now that she heard that Lian'er was missing, Mrs. Qi was even more anxious, and sweat beaded on her forehead in an instant. In the widening eyes, the consternation continued to rise.

But there was also a little confusion in his heart: "Why is a big living person who disappears after sleeping?" ”。

"I searched for it, inside and outside the town, and on Liangwang Mountain, but I didn't find anyone." Qi Song, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, breaking the silence with a hoarse voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he sighed again, his face was still sad, and his eyebrows were still locked: "The guy is still looking for Lian'er outside, but he still hasn't found anyone." ”。

"Take me to see Lian'er's bedroom." Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Qi said again.

Since Lian'er disappeared after a sleep, she started to check where she disappeared. Even if she wasn't a cop or a detective, she could at least see some clues that she had overlooked.

At the very least, do your best.

Mrs. Qi explained to the maid, looked at her younger brother and sister who were crying weakly, and followed Qi Song, who put down the hookah and stood up, to the back of the restaurant.

There is a small courtyard at the back of the building, and three two-story small buildings are surrounded on three sides, forming a quiet place.

Stepping on the bluestone slab in the courtyard, Mrs. Qi strode quickly, followed Qi Song, who was silent, to the second floor of the West House, and stood in front of the door of the middle room.

With a "creak", Qi Song pushed open the small wooden door. A simple and clean boudoir was presented in front of Mrs. Qi's eyes.

Between the dusty floor and the walls, as well as the beams, there is a round table with pots and cups on the table, a round table with round stools neatly arranged next to the table, and a bedding spread out in the depths, and a slightly messy bedside standing next to the wall.

The rest is the vermilion lacquer cabinet in the corner of the wall that is used to hold clothes, and the makeup cabinet placed at the head of the bed, the copper mirror neatly arranged on it, and the toiletries. Other than that, there was nothing else in the house.

Mrs. Qi stepped inside, looked around and asked, "Has this house been cleaned up?" ”。

followed to the house, but Qi Song, who was just standing behind the door, simply returned: "This is not true; I thought if Lian'er was playful, so she went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables early, so she didn't clean her house. I didn't expect that in the evening, she hadn't even returned. ”。

As soon as these words came out, the swarthy and strong man's already reddened eyes also flashed with tears.

mentioned that his daughter couldn't find it, and Qi Song, a strong man, couldn't be hard-hearted.

Mrs. Qi walked to the end of the bed without saying a word, and her eyes swept the window embedded in the wall, and she was even more suspicious. Not only did the doors and windows in this house show no signs of damage, but even the windowsills were the same as the floors in the house, without any footprints of outsiders, only a trace of dust fell on the windowsills.

Before Lian'er disappeared, it was clear that no outsiders had entered the house.

"Have all the people in town asked?" Mrs. Qi, who couldn't hold back her suspicions, kept frowning. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have they ever seen Lian'er?" ”。

That Qi Song shook his head silently and said, "I've asked everything, but no one has seen Lian'er before and after Lian'er's disappearance." ”。

Now even Mrs. Qi is gone; She frowned and thought for a long time, then walked outside the door and said to Sha Weng: "Sha Weng, you go and hire two foot horses, bring a servant to beat the horses back to the city, and invite Young Master Mu here." ”。

Sha Wong didn't say much, but turned around and left......

Night falls, shrouded in heaven and earth. At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns in Kunming City, there is a strong wind howling, sweeping away the scorching sun during the day and the heat left in the city.

Mu Qingming, who was full of food and drink, took a toothpick and picked his teeth, took his wife and apprentice Ah Hong, slowly went out, and walked towards the outside of Shala Lane.

Mu Qingming's face was comfortable, and he was so uncomfortable in the night breeze. And Ah Hong, who followed him and Mo Han and walked a few steps with his head down, then asked curiously: "Master, according to what you said, there will be clues about the corpse in the place where this ghost show is staged, so why haven't you stayed still for the past two months and haven't looked for it?" ”。

As they spoke, they had already reached the mouth of the alley. In the night wind, Ah Hong raised his hand and scratched his head.

"Ghost play is not the same as human play; As long as there is a stage, as long as there is a good location, or as long as someone wants to watch it or the family wants to have a big birthday or something, the drama among the people can be staged. Mu Qingming turned his head and looked at his apprentice in the dark, showing the confused look on Ah Hong's face, smiled indifferently and turned back again, patiently explained: "And ghost shows are generally only available in ghost moons. During the Ghost Month, the ghost mission will take them all out of the Netherworld and come to see the ghost show and see the family. However, there are also unruly ghosts, who will start a show during the non-ghost month and earn some lonely souls and wild ghosts, not much dark coins. And this kind of ghost show will only be held once every two months, and it will be held at the time of the fifteenth day until sunrise. ”。

Mu Qing was so close to the point, but that Ah Hong was thoughtful. After hearing this, he carefully counted the days in his heart, two months ago, the day Wang Xiaocui came to ask for help was the day of the fifteenth.

Ah Hong suddenly realized that it was not his master Mu Qingming who was deliberately slacking off, but that Mu Qingming had been waiting for the time for the ghost show to start.

Ah Hong figured this out, and he was even more curious about the ghost show. Can't wait to see, what's the difference between ghost play and human play?

Mo Han is also curious, she has never seen a ghost show. So I couldn't help but ask my husband, "Have you ever seen a ghost show?" What kind of drama are the excerpts? ”。

"I've watched it twice, that is, I sang some dramas about saving my mother and persuading kindness." Mu Qingming said, taking them through the streets and alleys, shuttling between the houses in the city.

After going to Cuihu, Mu Qingming took them all the way to the east, towards the right foot of Wuhua Mountain.

After walking for a long time, Ah Hong asked again, "Master, where are we going to watch the ghost show?" ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingming had already stopped and stood on the side of the road and replied, "It's here, it's here." ”。 Saying this, Mu Qingming raised his hand and pointed in front of him.

There was silence all around, and no one came to the left or right. By the bright moonlight, Ah Hong looked in the direction of Mu Qingming's finger, only to see about a zhang away, a horizontal archway made of granite, a square with four pillars and three doors. The flying dragon hugged the pillar, and on both sides of the door stood the dismounted stone with the book "civil and military officials dismount here".

The moonlight shone obliquely, sprinkled on the door in the middle, illuminating the three vigorous and powerful golden characters carved on the door - Lingxing Gate.

Ah Hong has been living in Kunming City for a while. He also had an understanding of the various parts of the city. When I saw the dismounted stone shining softly in the moonlight, and the golden light on the door, I recognized what this place was.

"Temple of Literature?" Ah Hong blurted out in exclamation, a look of doubt on his face.

"Well, there's a ghost show to watch here." Mu Qingming nodded, looking through the Lingxing Gate into the dark and lightless temple.
