Kang Ting stopped and stopped all the way, and met a cattle driver, so he took him to Bian Ancheng. When he got home, Kang Tingtuo's family went to the dart bureau to take leave, and he lay on the bed alone and thought about it, turning over and over the girl in the forest.

"An Qing." Sometimes Kang Ting thinks about it, and he can't help but call out, but he feels that the girls in the whole world are not as beautiful as her name.

During the period of recuperation, the white girl of the Bai family's brewery also came to see him, with the best snacks in Bian Ancheng, sitting in his room, her tone was as spicy and strong as her person, and she told the prefect's brother-in-law about the forced marriage in a few words, and asked Kang Ting if he was willing to marry her, if he was willing, the two would marry tomorrow, and she didn't want any dowry.

Kang Ting said very helplessly, thinking about the prefect's brother-in-law who had been his enemy many times, most of the reasons were because of the white girl in front of him, Kang Ting dared to swear that he often went to the Bai family wine shop to sell wine, just because he liked the Bai family's wine, not like the girl who liked to sell wine when he bought tofu.

Rejecting a girl's words in person, Kang Ting was originally embarrassed to say it, but now he has to say that he has to say that he has to delay the girl's mind if he doesn't want to get into trouble for nothing, so Kang Ting put his words in the most euphemistic, softest, and most sincere, and explained his mind to the girl of the Bai family. The girl of the Bai family has a bold personality inside, although she is disappointed, she has never spoken, she got up and left, as soon as she left with her front foot, Kang Tingniang came in with a handful of snot and tears, and persuaded her son to put it down, this Bian An City, there are many good girls.

A few of the same dart bureau are good, and Xiao Wu also came to see Kang Ting, as for how Kang Ting's injury was suffered, everyone knew it, and they didn't say too much, only after the others left, Xiao Wu came over and asked where Kang Ting went on the night he disappeared?

Kang Ting replied truthfully, only saying that he was thrown in the mountains and forests by bad people, and later he used a dagger to cut the rope of the stick before escaping, and in his words, he directly skipped the fact that An Qing rescued him.

Xiao Wu listened, looked around in the room where there were only the two of them, and reminded Kang Ting to be more careful with some horror, because on the night Kang Ting disappeared, two more people died on the side of the mountain forest, and they were still killed by something gouging out their eyes, just like the deaths of all the dead before, they all opened their mouths in horror, and blood flowed from their eye sockets all over their faces, which was terrible.

Kang Ting thought of An Qing and what happened that day, and thought about it for a moment, lowered his head and was silent, no longer speaking. Xiao Wu saw that Kang Ting was a little absent-minded, so he thought that his injury was painful again, and reminded him a few words of caution before he gently put down the two catties of tofu in his arms and went out.

Kang Ting looked at the wrapped tofu, feeling that he couldn't tolerate anything else in his mind at this moment, and when he opened and closed his eyes, An Qing was alone with a lantern and was silent.

Putting his fingers crossed behind his head, Kang Ting felt that he might be a little stunned, since he was a child, no one had ever left such an image in his heart, making him think all the time, no fear and no purpose, just thinking, curious about everything about her.

A gust of autumn wind passed, blowing in through the half-open window, making Kang Ting, who was lying on the bed in kimono, shiver, and couldn't help but think of the thin figure again, the autumn was thick, and the forest must be getting colder and colder.

Thinking of this, Kang Ting turned over and got up from the bed like a hysteria, the place where his ankle was sprained has been healed, as long as he doesn't use too much force, there is no problem with walking normally. Casually took out an autumn dress from the wardrobe and put it on for himself, Kang Ting carried a few pieces of broken silver he had saved, turned around and walked out of the house.

When he got to the street, Kang Ting's footsteps did not stop, and went straight to the tailor shop in the east of the old locust tree, this tailor shop is the best reputation in Shili Eight Street, not only the materials used are fashionable and beautiful, and the needlework is meticulous, but the cost is slightly higher, except for the wedding and other major events used in the wedding dress, there are few ordinary people's regular clothes to do here. Kang Ting entered the tailor's shop, chose a long time in the shop, ordered a piece of plum red material, left the silver, and instructed the most skillful tailor in the house to make a cloak worn by a beautiful girl.

After turning around and leaving the tailor's shop, Kang Ting wanted to go home, but something suddenly came to mind, so he called a chauffeur and went in a direction on the outskirts of the city. The memory of being too young when he was a child is not very clear, Kang Ting only remembers that he couldn't walk anymore, and was pushed in the car by his father, and the rest was except for a string of sugar gourds stained with his own saliva, and there was only a thin child left, who seemed to be called "Qingqing".

When he arrived in that village, Kang Ting had no memory of the scene here, and when he went to school when he was older, he didn't have time to sell vegetables with his father, and he didn't have the opportunity to come here.

After walking along the road, Kang Ting found that it seemed that the original location of the village was only dilapidated grass houses and broken walls, and most of the places chosen by later people to build houses were concentrated in the west direction of this old village.

Perhaps this village is far away from the city, and there are fewer people on weekdays, Kang Ting walked for a while, and an old man with a water scoop came out of the old thatched hut, saw Kang Ting, and greeted: "Whose doll is here to find someone?" ”

Kang Ting stopped, went over and bowed to the old man, and when he saw that the other party was gray-haired, he said, "Hello grandpa, I am from another village, and I really want to find someone." ”

"Who are you looking for?" The old man seemed to have some ears behind his ears, and said loudly in his ears: "I'm old, and everyone in this village knows everyone old and young, tell me, who are you looking for?" I'll show you the way. ”

Kang Ting was overjoyed, but he opened his mouth, his heart was at a loss, and he asked tentatively: "Here, there is a girl named An Qing, who should be about the same age as me." ”

"An Qing?" The old man frowned, wrinkled a few deep folds, thought for a long time, or shook his head and said, "The doll remembers wrongly?" There is one named Qingqing in this village, but he is only seven or eight years old, and he is not as old as you. ”

Kang Ting was a little disappointed, nodded and responded, "Then, thank you, old man." ”

Since there is none, Kang Ting has no heart to look for it anymore, after all, he is just a ghost, and he doesn't know what he is looking for.

After thanking the old man, he turned around and walked a few steps, Kang Ting seemed to be faintly unable to let go in his heart, so he turned back and asked: "Old man, I remember that about twelve or thirteen years ago, there was a girl named An Qing here, she was thin and small, but her eyes were very beautiful, and she kept looking at my sugar gourd. ”

After a distance, the old man's ears didn't seem to be able to hear it really, Kang Ting's words were heard seventy-seven eighty-eight, and he vaguely heard the words "thirteen years ago" and "eyes", so he frowned again, and said very regretfully: "Thirteen years ago? O iniquity! ”

Kang Ting didn't know why, so he went back and asked, "What kind of evil?" ”

As if mentioning something important, the originally amiable old man suddenly took Kang Ting's hand, lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Is she back?" Coming back for revenge? ”

Kang Ting was full of doubts, "What do you mean?" ”

The old man made a silent gesture towards Kang Ting, and with a force of his withered and old hand, he pulled Kang Ting towards his dilapidated hut. Although Kang Ting didn't know why, he could detect that the old man had no malicious intent, so he obediently entered the black hole in the house.

Originally, the door was open, and there was still a glimmer of light in the old room, but when the old man entered the door, the whole room was dark and oppressive, and he couldn't tell the difference between day and night.

On the corner of the dilapidated table, an oil lamp was faintly lit, the old man pulled a squeaky stool for Kang Ting, found a wooden pier to sit down, sighed, and said regretfully: "Although my old man is old and his ears are not good, but his memory is one top and one, if there is a girl of the same age as you in this village, called An Qing, then there are also people, but unfortunately, she is no longer there." ”

Kang Ting's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "She, she ......" opened his mouth, and found that he was clumsy, and he didn't know where to start.

The old man sighed, shook his head, and said, "That's a doll with a hard life. ”

Kang Ting was silent, listening quietly, lest he said a wrong word, and the old man's memory would be scattered.

"The girl's father is a sour showman, read a few books, I don't know that the sky is high, the family saves money for him to go to the city to worship the teacher, but he is fascinated, and the money is lost to the brothel, at that time his daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, crying and crying all day long, the father is sick and can't afford to be sick, this is not counted, then An Xiucai also quietly sold the family's house and land, to take it to the brothel to redeem the prostitute, if it wasn't for the surrounding neighbors to lend the family a few broken grass houses, I'm afraid it would be on the street."

Kang Ting listened, and also frowned, "In this world, how can there be such a person?" ”

The old man was getting older, and he saw it more clearly, and said helplessly: "There are wrong people in this world, but not all of them are wrong people!" An Xiucai took the money and did not redeem the prostitute, the prostitute was seriously ill and swallowed her breath before she could wait for the redemption, An Xiucai spent the money and went home with him and the prostitute's daughter, the female doll was not like our village, white and well-behaved, especially those eyes, very beautiful. ”

As he spoke, the old man's tone slowly changed to vicissitudes, as if he had gone through the world and looked down on the world.

"Later, An Xiucai returned home, wherever he went, his family and neighbors poked his backbone and scolded, at first An Xiucai was accused and silent, and then he was a little crazy, one day the family didn't watch, fell into the well and drowned, and then there was a female doll left, and Xiucai's daughter-in-law and children were together."
