Su Wanmiao came back to her senses, but before she could speak, Du Bai replied first: "Let's go, leave early, arrive early!" ”

Su Zhirou and Ying'er sat in another carriage, this little sister-in-law is now more sensible, at least she won't trouble him, and she really thinks about her sister's happiness.

This rare opportunity, Du Bai naturally wants to grasp it well.

However, a carriage like this kind of long-distance journey is not a good place to talk about love after all, and the two of them are tired after talking a few more words, especially Su Wanmiao, who is only a mortal, has been very tired from the preparations in the past few days, and after setting off, he talked to Du Bai for a while, and then he couldn't hold on and gradually leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.

In this noisy and uncomfortable environment, ordinary people may have nightmares when they sleep, but fortunately, Du Bai has a unique skill, and a little bit of breath is enough for her to sleep sweetly, and she can also clear away the previous fatigue.

Du Bai felt the sweet shallow breath of the people around him, and it seemed that he was sleeping very peacefully. He turned his head sideways against his head, and he could still smell the good aroma between a few wisps of green silk, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a little comfortable smile.

Different from the big scene of the gods and ghosts fighting on the side of the Dragon King, there seems to be only warmth and sweetness here, although it may be bland, but it makes him feel a real intimacy.

……

After a few days of traveling, the convoy arrived at the entrance of a small village according to Du Bai's instructions.

This village sits against the mountain, although it is not rich from the outside, but it can be regarded as a common people living and working in peace and contentment, there are no demons and monsters, only a simple local atmosphere.

"Is this Ning Caichen's hometown?"

Du Bai stepped out of the carriage and looked at the scenery in front of him.

To be honest, it wasn't far from Lanruo Temple, and if he traveled at the speed of a ghost, he might be able to reach it in half the time.

It's a pity that because of the shame in my heart, I haven't been able to come back here to have a look.

Hearing the noise of some chirping children, he turned his head to look and saw that there were already a few children who had noticed the convoy coming from outside, and they were watching with some excitement.

After all, this place is remote, and it is extremely rare to see a rich caravan like this, especially those handsome tall horses, whose every move makes those children who have only seen small donkeys in the countryside exclaim in surprise, with very envious eyes.

Du Bai's heart moved, squatted down and took out a few sugar gourds, handed them to them and shook them, looking at their almost gluttonous drooling appearance, he couldn't help but ask funny: "Little guys, is there a family surnamed Ning in your village?" ”

He didn't know what Ning Caichen's relatives were called, so he simply used this method to find it directly, which was simple and rude but effective.

"Yes!" Unexpectedly, these children scrambled to answer, "Many of us are surnamed Ning!" ”

Seeing that the scope was wide, Du Bai changed his question: "Do you know Ning Caichen?" ”

A few children, you look at me, I look at you, all of them shook their heads blankly.

Du Bai was a little disappointed when he saw this, but it was not too surprising.

After all, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian can be regarded as people more than a hundred years ago, and it is unlikely that these five or six-year-old children who are still playing in mud pits will know.

Until a gray-haired old man came out with the child to see the situation, and when he heard this question, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at him in surprise, trembling and walking two steps forward with a cane and asking, "This son, are you looking for Ning Caichen?" ”

"To be precise, I'm looking for Ning Caichen's relatives."

Du Bai saw that the other party was obviously somewhat aware, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and explained.

The old man sighed when he heard this: "Ning Caichen...... The name hasn't been heard in decades. I've seen it on the genealogy, but I don't know what the son wants to do with the Ning family? ”

"A friend asked me to bring something over and take care of his juniors."

The old man looked at him carefully, it didn't seem like he was lying, but he believed it, and nodded slightly: "If that's the case, it's a good thing." Childe, you might as well come with me......"

"It's hard work!"

Du Bai casually gave those sugar gourds to the children who were already looking forward to wearing them, and quickly followed.

However, Su Zhirou and Xu Zhiyan and others followed.

And the reason why Su Zhirou came over was precisely because of the words "Ning Caichen" that she heard just now!

"Wait, is there really Ning Caichen? Didn't you make up that story? Su Zhirou was a little incredulous, and followed him and kept asking.

She recorded the story of A Chinese Ghost Story completely word by word according to Du Bai's dictation, and these two names that made her couldn't help but worry for several days sounded particularly amazing at this time!

"Nature is true, when did I say that story was fake?" Du Bai was a little funny, and then seemed to sell Guanzi, "Not only Ning Caichen, but even Nie Xiaoqian is indeed a person!" ”

"Really?" Su Zhirou's eyes slowly widened, looking suspicious of life, and then cautiously looked around, and asked him in a low voice, "Is Nie Xiaoqian a human or a ghost?" ”

"Even if it may have been a human at the beginning, after all, it was a person more than a hundred years ago, and now it has long since become a ghost." Du Bai smiled a little helplessly, "It's like Ning Caichen,......"

As he spoke, the old man had already led him to the door of a somewhat dilapidated cabin, and then sighed: "Childe, Ning Caichen's brother lived here at the beginning, and now his heir has studied poetry and books according to his instructions, but because there is no decent school and teacher in our village, we have never gained anything. ”

"I still remember that others once mentioned that Ning Caichen's elder brother was not as good at reading as his younger brother, so he put all his energy on cultivating his younger brother, counting on him to get ahead and glorify his ancestors. That Ning Caichen is indeed smart, he reads ten lines at a glance, and he can memorize it backwards when he is familiar with it, and he is a rare little scholar. ”

Who knew that Ning Caichen later gave up the exam for a woman who could not give birth, and even stayed away from the family in order to protect the woman, and never heard back for decades. Although his brother also regretted that he had pushed this matter too far, it was a pity that he could not be found, and finally died. ”

"Is there such a past......

Du Bai nodded lightly, took two steps forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?" ”

With the sound of footsteps inside, a somewhat shaky wooden door opened from the inside, and a young man appeared in front of him with a resolute expression despite wearing a ragged garment.

"Who is Childe looking for?" Seeing that there was a rare strange man outside the door, the young man couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and after seeing the old man who led the way, he hurriedly made a gesture with a grateful expression.

"Thank you for the herbs that the old gentleman gave me before, otherwise I am afraid that my sister's illness will fall into a difficult root......"
