Xiaohui nodded and said, "Well, I understand, Xiaoyu'er, you have to take care of yourself." I nodded and said, "Xiaohui, after you go back, don't tell Aunt Xin that I have learned my skills for the time being."

Although Xiaohui didn't know why I was hiding it from Aunt Xin, she still smiled and said, "Okay! I listen to you".

Because the dirt that had been bothering her for many days was removed, Xiaohui couldn't hide her joy, and she waved goodbye to us on her bicycle and went home.

Although I gave Xiaohui the necklace that Dugu Mingyue gave me, I still couldn't rest assured. Tan Xiangu and I drove silently behind her until we watched her enter the door of Aunt Xin's pharmacy.

By this time, it was already dark, the street lights were flickering, and the whole street was very deserted, almost no pedestrians, and occasionally cars were hurrying by.

It seems that there are rumors of vampires on Clear Water Street, which has created a great fear in the hearts of the people in the neighborhood. However, there are few pedestrians, which makes it more convenient for me and Tan Xiangu to prevent others from discovering our investigative actions.

Tan Xiangu parked the car on the corner of the street, and then we both put on a little makeup. I am still dressed as a girl, and in order to make it easier for others to recognize myself, Tan Xiangu also applied the white face powder she used to my face and applied a thick layer of rouge powder.

She used to use white rouge powder to cover the black snake scales on her cheeks, but now she didn't need to, she painted her face as if it were black impermanence.

We walked near the entrance of Aunt Hong's clothing store, hid in a dark corner and quietly observed, and saw that the Taoist priest who had done the work had already dispersed, and her husband's coffin was still placed on the mourning hall.

To find the vampire who killed her husband, it's best to know what her husband's body looks like. In this way, with the knowledge I had learned from the Soul Hunt, I could find traces of vampires in her husband's corpse.

Of course, we can't just walk in and pry the coffin to see it, so Tan Xiangu and I can only wait for the opportunity.

At this time, we heard a voice from the clothing store: "Master Wu, I will leave the affairs of my family to you." I could tell it was Aunt Hong's voice.

Another voice said: "Okay, don't be polite, your family's affairs will be wrapped up in me, and you will ensure the safety of your mother and son in the future." I heard Wu Baixiao's voice.

I was surprised and delighted, thinking that Wu Baixiao dared to meddle in the affairs of Aunt Hong's family, which means that this vampire matter may also have something to do with him. In this way, you can investigate and solve the two things together.

Then I saw a group of people appear in the mourning hall, it seems that they should be carrying the coffin, and I immediately understood that Aunt Hong's husband belonged to a horizontal death, so it could only be a burial, and it seemed that they decided to bury tonight.

Now that there are so many people in the mourning hall, of course it is inconvenient for Aunt Tan and I to go in, and Aunt Hong will not believe herself if she takes the liberty to go in, she will only startle the snake and break things.

So Tan Xiangu and I decided to wait, Tan Xiangu approached me and whispered next to my ear: "Xiaoyu, I saw that among the eight immortals who carried the coffin, the leader was actually Boss Zheng, it seems that this old guy is a money fan, he escaped with his life last time, and now he still wants to get rich."

I nodded and thought to myself, the last time Grandpa Lin was buried, he earned 300,000 yuan in one night by carrying the coffin, this temptation is very great, no wonder he is not afraid of death.

Suddenly, I saw that among the eight people carrying the coffin, there was also a young man, who was a little familiar, I was stunned and immediately thought that this young man was actually the son of Qiao Laoer, last time Zheng Laoda took him and Qiao Laoer's wife to Aunt Xin's pharmacy to ask for money, and I saw him.

Then I thought of the sorrow of the old saying "man dies for money", his father had just died, and he took up his father's profession in order to make money.

I asked softly, "Tan Xiangu, why don't you Tanjiazhuang take this business?" I think it stands to reason that Tanjiazhuang is the most famous for its burial and coffin.

Tan Xiangu said in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, my nickname is Xianyun, you can call me Sister Yun in the future." I nodded and said, "Okay." Tan Xiangu sighed lightly: "Since I fell for the snake Gu, the old lady of my family has decided that the Tan family will not accept this kind of business for the time being."

I said: "I understand, you Tanjiazhuang don't do this business, so Wu Baixiao is ready to intervene, it seems that this vampire thing is likely to be the ghost of the Wu family."

Tan Xiangu nodded and said: "Well, it makes sense, there are a lot of people who are dying now, so the business of carrying the yin coffin is very hot, and it is all profiteering, no wonder even Wu Baixiao is red-eyed and wants to intervene."

The huge profits of carrying the coffin, I have seen it in Grandpa Lin's funeral expenses, 1.8 million, which is more profitable than doing any business, and there is almost no cost, of course, at most it is to lose his own life, no wonder Qiao Lao's son is willing to inherit his father's business.

At this time, the clothing store continued to hear their discussions, and Tan Xiangu and I probably understood that Aunt Hong's husband's coffin was prepared to be buried in a mass grave in the Black Wind Forest, which was the most suitable place to bury the corpses of the people who had been killed.

The funeral cost is 180,000 yuan, of which the eight people who carry the coffin, each 10,000 yuan, Zheng Boss as the head of the eight immortals who carry the coffin, he has another 20,000 yuan, and the remaining 80,000 yuan belongs to Wu Baixiao.

Aunt Hong opened a clothing store, and her business has been so-so, and the 180,000 yuan may be most of her savings, but the reason why she is willing to pay so much money to Wu Baixiao and them. I guess it must be Wu Baixiao who threatened the lives of their mother and son, because I vaguely heard Wu Baixiao persuade Aunt Hong to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, if she didn't break the money, the vampire would still find their mother and son, and now he hired someone to do it, he could protect the safety of their mother and son.

At this time, I became more and more suspicious that the appearance of vampires on Clear Water Street was a conspiracy carried out by Wu Baixiao. Tan Xiangu and I heard that they first used a van to deliver Aunt Hong's husband's coffin to Donglin Village, and then carried the coffin to the mass grave.

Tan Xiangu and I also felt strange when we heard it, because the mass grave is near the Black Wind Forest, where there are snake demons, Boss Zheng just survived the catastrophe last time, how dare he go to the mass grave this time, and the money for carrying the coffin is not high, which shows that they have no fear.

Suddenly I thought of an even more terrifying question, that is, Wu Baixiao might have something to do with the snake demon of the Black Wind Forest, if it really had a relationship, it would be terrifying.

Tan Xian Gu was full of deep fear of the Black Wind Forest, even if she wanted to seek revenge on the snake demon, she also knew that with her current strength, she was far from being the opponent of the snake demon, and it was impossible for us to follow us to the mass grave to die.

At this point, it's not interesting for us to eavesdrop. So Tan Xiangu and I went back to the car, rested for a while, and then decided on our next move. I want to go and find out the secrets of the Wu family myself, because the evil that the Wu family worships is the key.

I explained to Tan Xiangu that I was going to Wu's house to inquire about the situation, and Tan Xiangu expressed her support, but she said that before going to Wu's house, she wanted to go back to Tan's house to discuss with the old lady.

At this time, she also knew that the Wu family was not as simple as she used to know. Originally, in the impression of the Tan family, the Wu family was just a famous feng shui master in the county, and there was nothing great to do, if the Wu family could poison the corpse, command the vampires, and communicate with the snake demon in the Black Wind Forest, then the Wu family would be a very terrifying existence.

Because Tan Xiangu decided to go back, she sent me to the small hotel she used to rent, which was called Qingshui Hotel. These are five three-story houses, which were the most common buildings in the town twenty or thirty years ago, and are basically the same as the architectural layout of Aunt Xin's drugstore.

Qingshui Hotel is located at the starting point of the East Street of Qingshui Street, which is relatively remote, with streets in the south, Qingshui Creek in the north, and fields in the east, where crops and trees are luxuriant; The hotel is built by the river and has a quiet environment.

Qingshui Street in the town runs from east to west, a total of about three miles long, Aunt Xin's pharmacy and Aunt Hong's clothing store are located in the middle of the street, so Qingshui Hotel is about less than a kilometer away from Aunt Xin's pharmacy.

The house rented by Tan Xiangu is on the third floor of the east side, the entrance door is facing south, the window is facing north, and the location is the most secluded in the entire small hotel. She led me into the room, which contained her clothes and household items.

She said to me: "Your figure is similar to mine, and I haven't worn these dresses, so if you want to change them, I'll leave them to you."

I was embarrassed and said, "Thank you"! It is true that if you don't change your clothes for a long time, first, it is uncomfortable, and second, it is easy to attract the attention of others. Now, in order to hide people's eyes, I can only put on makeup as a girl.

After Tan Xiangu instructed me a few words, she left me the key to the room, and she rushed back overnight.

I stayed alone in a strange hotel, and I couldn't sleep for a while, so I opened the window facing north. There was Qingshui Creek below, and when I opened the window, a cold wind blew in.

I was bored, so I looked at the dark Qingshui Creek in a daze, and suddenly I heard the sound of paddling from the Qingshui Creek.

Under the moonlight, I vaguely looked at the water waves in the middle of the stream, that position is the deepest place in the Qingshui Creek, the locals call it the Water Ghost Pond, it is said that there is a dark river below, the water is unfathomable.

I was horrified, and thought to myself that it was the middle of the night, who would swim in the stream, could it really be a water ghost.

When I was a child, I heard the rumor that there were water ghosts in Qingshui Creek, and at that time, people were drowned while swimming in the water ghost pool almost every year, and then the locals were scared, and no one dared to swim in the water ghost pool anymore.

In this way, there are fewer cases of locals being drowned, but tourists from other places do not know the situation, they see that the stream of the water ghost pond is clear and clean, they can't help but jump down and swim, and now the people who drown every year are outsiders who are not familiar with the situation.

Just as I was thinking, a stuffed monkey-like monster emerged from the water. It paddled and swam towards the shore, and the monster swam very fast, and soon swam to the shore. Then the monster climbed ashore and disappeared, could it be that the monster went to suck human blood.

I've often heard of water ghosts dragging swimmers down and drowning, but I've never heard of water ghosts crawling ashore to suck human blood. Now the monster has disappeared after climbing ashore, and it is impossible to find it himself.

Suddenly it occurred to me that the water monster came out of the water, wet, and there must be water stains where it crawled, and I could follow the water stains to find them.
