When the scholar entered the cell, he did not cry or shout, but sat down by the wall, as if he had lost his mind.

is calmer than Cao Jun at the beginning.

Cao Jun looked at him for a while, and suddenly became interested in him, and deliberately wanted to provoke him with words.

"Do you know that your time is running out?"

The scholar glanced at Cao Jun, still sitting dejectedly, only after a long time did he lament, "What joy is there in life, and what is fear in death, but I just disappointed my grandmother's expectations, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Liu family." ”

Cao Jun frowned, and faintly felt that this scholar had a story on him.

Could it be that passerby armor can also inspire tasks?

Cao Jun secretly guessed in his heart, a little unpredictable.

Originally, only one task could be stimulated in one world, but after entering this Chinese ghost story world, in less than a few days, two missions have been stimulated.

This made Cao Jun's heart become alive.

It's just that the other party's identity is just a scholar, and he is really not interested in the skills of scientific research.

There was also some uncertainty for a while.

The meaning of talking in my heart suddenly decreased by half.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jun had no intention of talking, and this scholar seemed to have opened the conversation box and took the initiative to communicate with Cao Jun.

The scholar sat quietly for a while, regained some vitality, and suddenly arched his hand to Cao Jun, and took the initiative to introduce: "Under Liu Qing, the word ...... The character champion, a person from Qinghe County, has not yet asked his brother Taizun's surname. ”

"Liu Zhuangyuan?"

Cao Jun suddenly had a doubt in his heart.

You must know that among the scholars in the Ming Dynasty, they also paid attention to modesty and etiquette, and it was the first time that someone dared to take the word 'champion'.

If it weren't for the madness of this scholar, or the determination of the elder who named him Jackie Chan was too firm.

Cao Jun vaguely guessed the reason for the scholar's collapse.

He also arched his hand to the other party, "Under Cao Jun, the word is civil and martial." ”

The scholar said: "Just now Brother Tai said that I don't have much time, could it be that I have also studied Buddhism and know how to judge life and death?" ”

Cao Jun touched the short hair on his head, knowing that the other party had misunderstood his short hair.

It's hard to say.

just followed the topic of the scholar and said: "I see that you are dying on your head, and it is estimated that the deadline is within these three days, if there is still a last wish, please make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

How do you know that the scholar sighed again, "It's good to be dead, just take off the burden of a thousand catties on your body, and now the government test has not been successful, and I have no shame to go home to see my grandmother and wife and children, just as soon as I die, I hope to see Xiaomei after death." ”

Cao Jun touched the wine jug on his waist.

Since you have a story, I happen to have wine.

Let you get drunk before you die, and I hope that you can let go of all your burdens in your drunken dreams, and you can think that you have done a good deed.

After the scholar drank, people also became excited, and the stories he told in his words were full of absurdity and bizarreness, as well as some regrets and small beauty, which made Cao Jun indirectly feel the wonder of this world.

It is as if you have experienced a vivid story.

The scholar is from Qinghe County, which is next door to Guobei County.

The ancestors once produced a Jinshi and two lifters, and they were also quite famous scholars in the local area.

Helplessly, there are no more than three generations of rich.

After the death of the last man, the family's fortune deteriorated, and the Liu family, who was a scholarly heirloom, pinned their hopes on the scientific examination.

Liu Qing is the most promising scholar of the Liu family.

He was young, and he was considered a grandchild in the Liu family, so he passed the county examination and obtained the title of Tongsheng.

Once you win the show, you will have the qualifications to participate in the township examination, if the township examination is in the middle, you will have a reputation, whether it is to become an official, or to retire to be an official in your hometown, you can also bless the family.

Before the arrival of the latest hospital examination, in order to let Liu Qing prepare for the scientific examination without distractions, the grandmother of the Liu family ruthlessly asked people to clean up a remote attic in the backyard, locked Liu Qing inside, and urged him to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

Liu Qingqing is only 20 years old, and he has just gotten married, which is when he is newly married, and he is active by nature and likes to make friends, how can he endure such torture like imprisonment.

Soon, the person was thin.

Later, in the backyard where he was studying, a fox appeared.

It's what he said about Xiaomei.

At first, Liu Qing only treated her as an ordinary animal, suffering from no one to be companion, and the two were also connected by the same fate, whenever he picked up the lamp to read at night, the fox appeared on the windowsill, lying on his stomach with two little paws and pricking up his ears to listen to him read.

After a long time, Liu Qing also became an additional playmate.

And the fox also understands the truth of gratitude in the world.

Occasionally send him some wild fruits, although it is not rare, but it has established a simple and simple friendship with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing said this, suddenly put down the wine gourd, and asked Cao Jun: "Brother Cao, do you believe that there are animals in heaven and earth?" ”

Cao Jun frowned, and was about to say, 'After the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals are not allowed to become essences', and then he thought again, this is a Chinese ghost world, and ghosts and spirits are not rare.

Liu Qing saw that Cao Jun was silent, and thought that the other party thought that he was lying, and his tone became excited and excited for a while.

"I originally thought that the fox was just a fox, and it was more spiritual than ordinary beasts, but I didn't think ......"

Suddenly, one day, the fox not only brought him some wild fruits, but also transformed into a human form in front of him, but a little girl dressed like a human.

The girl learned the etiquette of human beings, bowed down to Liu Qing and said: "The concubine is a little charming, thanks to the son's refusal to give up, accompanying me every day, helping me enlighten, teaching me etiquette, let me open up my wisdom, understand the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, I can't repay, I am willing to commit to the son, and it is good to repay this favor." ”

Liu Qing was locked in the attic of the backyard for many years, and no one was allowed to talk to him except the servants who delivered the meal, so as not to distract him.

Faced with such a surprise, he was also taken aback at first.

Seeing that the changed human form of this fox is very beautiful, not only does he know the etiquette of the world, but also keeps saying that he knows the kindness and retribution, and gradually eliminates his vigilance.

For a while, the two accompanied each other day and night, Liu Qing read at night with the lamp, and Xiaomei's red sleeves added fragrance.

The long-lost sound of reading aloud was heard in the attic.

Even the air around him has become cheerful.

The servant who delivered the meal also noticed something abnormal, and one day after delivering the meal, he secretly peeked outside the door, and after a while, he saw a fox coming in from a small window, and then turned into a human form, and after the two laughed, they quickly rolled together.

The servant was taken aback, and when he returned, he told the old grandmother who was in charge of the house what he had heard.

Behind the attic is a deep mountain, where is there any human habit?

The old grandmother didn't dare to act rashly after hearing this, but just let people pay attention to observe.

A few days later, another servant saw that every full moon night, there was a fox standing on the top of the attic, swallowing essence to the sun and the moon, the old grandmother was also literate and hyphenated, and in the early years from some miscellaneous books saw the story of the monster becoming a spirit.

If the vixen had no malice, they did not intend to do evil with him.

But it shouldn't be, but the person who the fox spirit is obsessed with is the best reader in their Liu family.

If Liu Qing is allowed to continue to indulge in it, won't the Liu family be hopeless again?

So the old grandmother invited a few hunters, took the chicken as bait, set a trap, and caught the hind legs of the fox that came out to feed, and the fox saw that he could not escape, and was about to die here, so he had to bite off his hind legs, and the blood flowed into the mountains without a trace.

The old grandmother asked someone to throw one of the fox's hind legs in front of Liu Qing's eyes, informing him that the fox spirit had been booby-trapped, and telling him that the scientific examination was approaching, concentrate on studying, and that the queen of the show would also shine on the lintel.

Liu Qing was deceived and reprimanded by the family, and learned that the fox was dead, and immediately heartbroken, tears rained down, as if he had lost his soul for a while.

In the hospital examination held soon after, the natural name fell to Sun Mountain.

On the way back, Liu Qing was so discouraged that he dismissed the servant in a fit of rage, kicked the scholar away, and finally passed through Guobei County and was taken to prison as a fugitive.

Although he had a guide on him, he was bent on death, and then entered this dark cell and was accompanied by Cao Jun.

By the time Liu Qing's story was finished, he was already drunk, crying and laughing, if it wasn't for Cao Jun's use of some silver, I am afraid that he would have suffered a stick.

Cao Jun sighed after hearing this.

In this story, there is an obvious suspicion.

That Xiaomei's disappearance may not be a death, but it is also possible to hide in the mountains to heal her injuries.

This is just Cao Jun's speculation, and it can't be true.

At noon on the second day, a jailer brought a bowl of chicken thigh rice.

Cao Jun had been reminded before, his hair had not grown yet, and it was easy to help the children of high-ranking officials to take the blame.

There are only two people in this cell, and it is either him or the newcomer Liu Qing.

Cao Jun heard a strong tragedy from Liu Qing's story, and suddenly felt compassion and wanted to help him.

So he reminded him: "Brother Liu, this is a decapitated meal, you will have to fall to the ground in the middle of the night at the third watch, if you don't want to die, I have a way to save you." ”

After Liu Qing heard this, he just smiled bitterly a few times, and then officially gave Cao Jun a big salute, and sighed: "I have failed the hospital test now, and when I go back, I am ashamed of my grandmother, and I am infatuated with spirits, and I am even more ashamed of my newlywed wife. ”

Cao Jun could only sigh for a while, and asked again: "Since you and I have known each other, we still have no last wishes, and I will listen to them, if there is a way, I will let you get your wish." ”

Liu Qing said again: "I only hope that the bones can be buried outside the attic after death, if Xiaomei is not dead, let her know that I have not failed her." ”

"Please also ask Brother Cao to fulfill it!"

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he bowed to Cao Jun again.

Cao Jun is now in prison, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, if ordinary people say so, Liu Qing will think that he is a bunch of nonsense, but Cao Jun's conversation is very extraordinary, and he can see through his approaching death, and even threaten to help him escape.

Liu Qing is now helpless, and before he dies, he can only entrust him with the things behind him.

That night, Liu Qing died on a severed stake behind his cell.
