Chapter 4: Crossing People and Ghosts (5)

"What are we going to do?" Xia Mu had never experienced this kind of thing, so he could only turn around and ask Situ Lan.

Situ Lan sighed silently and said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”

"Huh?!" Xia Curtain was stunned, and he still wanted to go in after listening to such a terrifying story? But when I thought about it, it seemed that there was really no other way.

So, Situ Lan pushed open the door and walked into the small courtyard, followed by a woman who grabbed his arm and probed his brain, cowering.

But when I walked down, there was really nothing in it. Apparently no one had been in the house for a long time, it was full of dust and cobwebs, and it was messy, and some of the furniture that was already pitiful didn't know who had pushed it to the ground.

The two of them also went to the kitchen to find out, but it was already empty, the cabinet was still there, but the box or something was long gone. Seeing that it was about to be evening, the two decided to find an inn to settle down and rest for the night.

When he arrived at the inn, although Situ Lan didn't prepare anything for dinner, he still sat down in the lobby with Xia Mu, as well as the little fox in the cage. "It's been a busy day, and I haven't had time to give you a name yet. You say, what should I give you a name? "While waiting for the meal, Xia Mu released the little fox from the cage and teased it." Xia Xiaobai, Xia Xiaoxiao, Xia Jiaojiao, Xia Mengmeng, Xia ......"

"It's not surnamed Xia." Situ Lan said.

"Why don't you have the surname Xia, I picked it up, I am his mother, so naturally I want to have my surname." It's normal for your pet to have your own surname and your surname.

The little fox looked at Situ Lan with dark eyes, as if he was begging for help, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Situ Lan picked up the teacup and forced himself to compose. "Call him Summer."

"Huh?" This is my pet, why did you name it! But...... In the summer, the name is really good. "Okay, let's call you Summer. Remember, from now on, you will be called Summer, I am your mother, and he is ...... It's your ancestors. ”

Situ Lan drank water for the first time and burned his mouth.

"Alas, have you heard of it, the son of the county master's family is dying, he has already invited several doctors, and the sorcerer has also changed one stubble, but it can't work!" Three men at the next table were drinking and chatting.

"Of course I've heard that the commotion is so big. But that splash, whether he is dead, no matter which way the gods accept him, or which demons and monsters come to arrest him, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. The other chimed in.

"That is, relying on the fact that he is the son of the county master, I don't know how many women from good families have been harmed, and how many innocent people have been harmed. This time, if it is really his deadline, it is really happy. ”

"You don't know, I have a cousin who worships his brother, who works as a nurse in the county master's house, and I heard him say that the county lord's house is now heavily guarded. Those talismans are still used to ward off evil spirits, which are hung and pasted all over the courtyard and walls, for fear that a ghost will come to ask for his life. At first, it was just a dead cat and a dead dog, and there were finches raised by the county magistrate, and everyone didn't care. Later, the two concubines of the county lord died in a row, and then he began to take this matter to heart, until some time ago, his son was also entangled, and it is said that he has gone crazy. ”

Xia Mu naturally pricked up his ears when he heard such gossip, what's going on with this Lotus City? I've only been here for a long time, and I've heard two such weird stories, and it seems that this place is really not quite peaceful.

"I also heard that the two husbands and wives in the north of the city are dead, and they have nothing to do with that little splash. At that time, he entangled the daughter-in-law named Zhang Dapeng, it was really arrogant, in broad daylight, he dared to grab it directly, if it wasn't for Zhang Dapeng's two fists and feet, his wife estimated that the street would be occupied. ”

"I've heard about it, I've also seen his daughter-in-law, she does look so beautiful and beautiful, don't talk about that little splash, I softened when I saw it."

"Phew! Everyone is dead, you are less here**, and you are not afraid that she will entangle you at night. Another man threw a handful of peanut shells at him.

"The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. Hey, hey, hey......"

"Alas, there are so many people who died at the hands of that splash, who knows which ghost came to the door."

"It's just, alas, don't say it, bad luck! Let's talk about something else. ”

Xia Mu Qiqi 88 listened to the general story and already had some guesses in his heart, so he leaned sideways towards Situ Lan: "Situ Lan, did you just hear it?" I think the matter of the county grandfather's house is very suspicious. ”

"Hmm."

"Shall we go and see?"

"Okay."

After dinner, Xia Mu put the little fox summer in the room, and went out with Situ Lan to the county master's house.

Maybe it was because I listened to two horror stories today and made strong psychological hints, and then I walked to the door of the county master's house, Xia Mu felt very uncomfortable, and it was uncomfortable everywhere, especially the heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out of my mouth, and the familiar stinging pain would rise up from time to time. But the matter has come to this, both of them have come here, and the source of this matter is still provoked by themselves, there is no reason to escape, so they have to cover their hearts and go inside.

But as soon as he wanted to enter the door, he was stopped by two guards: "Who is coming?" What's the point at this late hour? ”

Xia Mu saw that Situ Lan was not ready to answer, so he had to lean up and say, "Oh, that's the case, two big brothers." We have traveled here, passing through your place, but we saw that the clouds above this house are thick, and the dark shadows are longing, presumably your house is not peaceful during this time. So I wanted to come in and have a look. "It's really a ghost and slipped away, and Xia Mu silently accepted his knees in his heart.

"Huh? You...... Indeed, you can see the ...... above this house. Dark clouds and dark shadows? "There is a little brother who is not strong-willed.

"It's true, what's there to fool you. You are here as a guard, so you naturally know best what is happening in this house, is there already a dead thing or a dead person? Speaking of the back, Xia Mu lowered his voice and scored exactly how the farmer told the story in the afternoon.

"You, you...... Then you wait, I'll go in first and report it. "Very good, the second one is also in the set.

Xia Mu turned around and bowed his head proudly at Situ Lan, blinked, and wanted to ask for praise, but this man's iceberg face that had not changed for thousands of years did not move, it was really boring.

After a while, a man about fifty years old came out, who looked full of energy, not like the injured concubine at home. hugged several people before and after, although they were not wearing official uniforms, but the posture could still be distinguished at a glance that the person must be the county master.

The county master stopped when he walked to the gate, carefully looked at Situ Lan and Xia Guan a few times, and immediately hurried to meet him. Although I don't know who is coming, at least Situ Lan's bearing is extraordinary, and the fairy wind is enough to make this county master condescend.

"Dare to ask where the immortal master came from?" The county lord bent down and said with a flattering smile. He was also well-informed when he asked himself, and the two of them didn't look like ordinary warlocks when they saw each other.

The county magistrate asked Situ Lan, but Xia Mu caught a glimpse of him and was still not ready to answer, so he had to go into battle again: "We came from the moon buds and clouds, and when we passed by here, we suddenly saw the dark cloud cover of this house, which seems to be ominous." ”

"Moon Sprout Clouds?!" The county magistrate became even more frightened when he heard this, and his waist, which was originally quite straight, immediately bent down. The group of guards behind him naturally followed suit, and they all bent down and bowed their heads.

"Exactly." The summer curtain has already begun. I didn't see it, the name of the moon buds and clouds was so loud.

"Thank you, two immortal masters, please." With a wave of the county lord's left arm, the others immediately gave way to the two.

Situ Lan walked in first with an expressionless face, and Xia Mu followed closely behind him. As soon as I entered the courtyard, sure enough, just like the few people in the restaurant said, I saw all kinds of large and small talismans pasted everywhere, as well as all kinds of things like copper coins, red ropes, bells, stone formations and other things to ward off evil spirits, and the originally magnificent courtyard looked more like a dojo at the moment. Originally, Xia Mu was just talking, but I didn't expect that after walking in the door, there was really a feeling of dark clouds pressing down, as if the temperature was a lot lower here, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

The county master's house is really big, and after walking around, Xia Mu actually felt a little sore. In the end, the two returned to the middle hall, and quickly had a maid to bring tea and snacks, Xia Mu was indeed a little thirsty, but seeing that Situ Lan did not move, she naturally did not dare to touch the things here casually. Even if you don't know the world, you can feel that there are really ghosts in this house.

"Let's talk about it." Situ Lan didn't say much, but every sentence made people unable to resist, even the parent official who managed the people on one side, at this time, he also felt a 'chuckle' in his heart when he heard it, and hurried forward to tell the story.

"Under is a local parent official, named Sun Rong, who has been in politics here for ten years. Although there are no outstanding political achievements, during this period, the Liancheng is also peaceful, and there is nothing to do. Sun County ordered.

Xia Mu sneered in his heart, you really will avoid the important and light.

Sun Xianling continued: "But three years ago, there was a trafficker surnamed Zhang in the north of our city, and it is reported that he died of illness on the way to sell goods. Originally, this was not a great event, and it was not a strange thing that the peddlers and pawns relied on their feet to do some business, and it was not a strange thing that they were away for a long time, and occasionally died in a foreign land. But the strange thing is that his newly married wife was originally going out to sell goods with him, but in the end she came back alone and brought back the death news of the trafficker, but did not bring his body back for burial. The nearby villagers were also very surprised, some people thought that his husband was not dead at all, and some people speculated that his husband was killed by her, so his body was destroyed. What do you think, how can there be a husband who dies outside, comes back alone as a lady, and leaves his body outside, you must know that the fallen leaves must return to the roots. ”

When Xia Mu heard this, he narrowed his eyes, as if something was wrong, it was obviously the same story, how could the versions be so different? It's weird.

"I also sent the county officials to see it, but I really didn't find any clues that were wrong, and the woman only said that because her husband was sick and died, she did not dare to bring his body back for burial, for fear of causing some plague. What she said is not unreasonable, and if we have no evidence, we will naturally not hold on to it again. Unexpectedly, more than half a year later, the hunters actually found a box in that house, which contained the woman's body, and it was already decomposed. The servants could not find out the cause of the woman's death, so it began to spread again, that the woman's husband must have come back to seek revenge, so she died so badly. Many more believed that the woman must have killed her husband and fled on her own. ”

Xia Mu gasped, he didn't expect the story to unfold like this.

I thought that the matter would be revealed like this, but I didn't expect that three months after the woman's body was found, several women disappeared in the city one after another, some of them had not yet left the cabinet to be treated, some were married to women, and some were already mothers. Even if I've sent people to search for it, at least I haven't found it. When I was in a hurry, strange things began to happen in my inner house again, starting with the death of pets in the family, and then it didn't take long for ...... Alas, my two concubines have also died one after another, and now the dogs are ...... Alas! ”

"How did you die?" Situ Lan suddenly spoke.

"Uh...... One fell into a well and drowned, and the other fell from a stairs and died. ”
