Although Bai Xiaotong didn't know the man in front of him, he could see from his nervous look that this man was obviously a little embarrassed, and her face began to flush slightly!

Bai Xiaotong looked around, and then found that he was in a simple and somewhat dilapidated thatched house!

The man seemed to understand Bai Xiaotong's doubts, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I saw you fall into the water when I passed by the stream today, because I didn't know the nature of water, so I found someone to rescue you, and there was nowhere to go at that time, so I brought you here, I see that you have some eyes, are you here to travel?" ”

Bai Xiaotong shook his head and didn't answer his question, it turned out that he was looking for someone to save him!

"Then you must have come to find someone,"

The man said with certainty, as if remembering something, and continued:

"I remember, some time ago, a wave of people came here to travel, and then because of the landslide, no one was spared, you should have come to worship, right? There are a lot of people who come to worship these days, so since you're here, you must pay attention to safety! ”

There was a profound reminder in the man's words!

Bai Xiaotong still didn't squeak, so he also thought that he should have guessed correctly!

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself!"

The man scratched his head, and continued with some embarrassment: "My name is Ding Xiaoshan, and I am a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple on the top of Jixiang Village!" ”

"Daoist?" Bai Xiaotong suddenly raised his head and looked at the man who spoke!

"Yes, I live in the mountains, and sometimes I stay in the village for a few days!" Ding Xiaoshan said while pointing to the top of the mountain opposite!

Bai Xiaotong was not too interested in his residence, but asked the doubts in his heart: "Is it the kind of Taoist priest who can exorcise ghosts?" ”

If he really knows how to exorcise ghosts, then next, this person will be of great benefit to her staying in this village!

Ding Xiaoshan smiled wryly, and when he mentioned his expertise, he seemed to be even more excited.

"Yes, our Taoist priests in Jixiang Village are dedicated to helping those lonely souls and wild ghosts reincarnate and pave the way!"

Bai Xiaotong looked at the complacent Ding Xiaoshan carefully, "How many years have you been studying Taoism?" She still asked very carefully!

"This is a long story, Master said that I was a child who picked up from the side of the road, because I was born to see those unclean things, so I have been learning Taoism with Master since I was a child!"

Ding Xiaoshan is also very patient in narrating his story!

"So, you have yin and yang eyes?"

"Yes!" Ding Xiaoshan nodded without denying it!

Bai Xiaotong secretly thought, according to what he said, his Taoism should be extremely profound, but he didn't see that he didn't have a soul in his body? Or is he deliberately playing dumb? Bai Xiaotong is not sure!

"When I heard you, it seems that I am also interested in Taoism, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Ding Xiaoshan asked a little jokingly!

This made Bai Xiaotong's defensive heart even more advanced, and she was silent again.

Because she hasn't figured out the situation yet, and she doesn't know if the little Taoist priest in front of her is really deliberately pretending to be stupid, she can't fully believe this person yet!

"What's wrong? Did it scare you? ”

Ding Xiaoshan saw that she was silent, and thought that Bai Xiaotong was timid and scared her, after all, most ordinary people can't accept the words of ghosts and gods!

Bai Xiaotong hurriedly shook his head, "No, when I was a child, I was also said to be a disaster star, easy to provoke ghosts, even my own biological mother thought the same, so I don't think there is anything terrible!" ”

Bai Xiaotong said, a little sad, she didn't want to mention the matter, but unknowingly confided in a stranger!

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm stupid and not very good at talking, don't mind!" Ding Xiaoshan apologized a little ashamed!

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered the past and felt sad, by the way, do you have any familiar people in this village? I would like to stay here for a while! Bai Xiaotong changed the topic!

Ding Xiaoshan pondered for a moment, "I do have a few people who are more familiar with me, so come with me!" ”

Follow Ding Xiaoshan all the way to Jixiang Village, until he comes to a dilapidated house made of bricks that doesn't look spacious!

Ding Xiaoshan knocked on the somewhat dilapidated door a few times.

"Who?" The voice of a middle-aged woman asking came from inside!

"Aunt Liu, it's me, Xiaoshan!" Ding Xiaoshan opened his throat and responded!

"It's coming!" When the woman heard Ding Xiaoshan's name, she hurriedly quickened her pace and stepped forward to open the door.

The door opened, and a woman of about fifty years of age greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoshan, it's so late, is there something wrong?"

Aunt Liu's eyes immediately swept to Bai Xiaotong behind Ding Xiaoshan, and asked with a puzzled face!

Ding Xiaoshan stepped aside and motioned for Bai Xiaotong to step forward.

"Aunt Liu, this is a good friend of mine, she is here to burn paper money for her deceased relatives, no, is it getting dark, it must be inconvenient for her to live in our Taoist temple as a girl, so I want to bother you to take her in for a few nights!" Ding Xiaoshan said very politely!

When Aunt Liu heard this, she didn't hesitate, "That's it, come in!" ”

Aunt Liu still maintained a gentle smile, and as she spoke, she opened the door with her hand and continued:

"Xiaoshan, there is nothing to be polite to your aunt in the future, you have helped our village so much, we don't know how to repay you, you can find your aunt to help, it is the honor of your aunt, if you have anything in the future, just look for your aunt!"

Ding Xiaoshan smiled innocently and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Liu!" ”

After Bai Xiaotong was warmly settled by Aunt Liu, Ding Xiaoshan left!

Although Bai Xiaotong did not observe the decoration of the whole house carefully, the overall structure of the house, Bai Xiaotong was already roughly clear!

Aunt Liu's house is an old-fashioned house with a tiled roof, there are only three houses in total, and they are connected, and the kitchen is built in the northernmost part of the house, which is separated from the living room.

Since Bai Xiaotong entered the door, she hadn't seen the shadow of anyone other than Aunt Liu, so she was sure that Aunt Liu lived alone!

"Xiaotong, have you slept?" Aunt Liu's voice came from outside the door, she didn't knock on the door, she should be afraid of suddenly startling Bai Xiaotong!

Bai Xiaotong got up to open the door, Aunt Liu's kind smile was still on her face, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly wrinkled together, and her thin and weatherless body stood at the door.

"It's very cold here at night, you close the doors and windows when you sleep at night, if there is any noise, it is estimated that I get up at night, so don't get up, lest you get cold!"

"Okay, I know, thank you Aunt Liu!" Bai Xiaotong smiled politely!
