"Here comes the wine. ”

A crack opened in the crowd, and a young man's voice rang out. The person who came was Wu Nian, who was delivering wine, and there were too many people around the teahouse, in order to squeeze out this opening, but he wasted a lot of energy, and the bamboo basket he was carrying was also deformed by the crowd.

The people in the crowd recognized Wu Nian at a glance.

Wu Nian has never been absent from the conversation of Master Wang, because every time there is a big set of wine, he always has a share, and Wu Nian will also come to Tingfeng Tower on time on such a day, provide wine to the master, and listen to the master's story.

Wu Nian grew up listening to his master's storytelling, he liked the things of the mountains and rivers that the master talked about, the things of cultivators, and even many strange things, and now he has a soft spot for becoming a swordsman, just because when he was four years old, he took a little girl and heard the story of the master talking about the swordsman of Beicang who frightened Chen Guobao's cavalry with a sword.

"Master, I also want to hear about the ghosts of the world. Wu Nian said when he handed a jar of pine wine to the prince on the stage.

At last the prince took a sip of pine wine, and after a dull cough, he began to say seriously: "Let me tell you, that's all." I've seen ghosts, it was a small rainy day, I was fishing in the Liushui Dam of Qianpinggang, and suddenly it rained heavily, the old man, my body and bones couldn't withstand the wind and cold, so I found a cave over there to shelter from the rain, and then I saw the ghost. ”

"It was a female ghost like a human demon, very beautiful, unbelievably beautiful, but unfortunately she was blind, so I called her the Silver-Eyed Rakshasa . At that time, she was outside the cave, and I was in the cave, through the hazy rain, I could vaguely see that she was holding a very ordinary yellow paper umbrella, and she was carrying a green umbrella on her back, barefoot. "Master Wang's storytelling skills are really good, and his words are treacherous and changeable, no one in the audience dares to make a sound, and the crying boy doesn't cry anymore, and looks at Master Wang on the stage with two big round beads.

"At first I thought she was just a girl who was getting lost, until I saw the next scene, and in front of the blind woman, there was also a ghost, a man-eating ghost, with three heads and an eight-foot long yaksha. The three-headed ghost was eating, biting at the corpse of a tiger two feet on the ground, the blood stained the three heads, and the sound of bones clicking was rejected, and I was frightened, and watched very carefully and silently. But the woman turned a deaf ear and stood there like a wooden man watching the three-headed ghost eat. The three-headed ghost ate the tiger on the ground and didn't even have the scum left, the woman just moved, she just took a step forward, and the three-headed ghost didn't know why, in an instant, it turned into thousands of pieces of minced meat like a knife cutting tofu, and the woman moved again, she stepped forward to pick up the minced meat on the ground, and handed it to her mouth piece by piece, until she couldn't see the body of the three-headed ghost anymore, she left, holding an umbrella and leaving, and the direction of going was the direction of Xia Qianpinggang and Qinghe Town. ”

"Thankfully, I wasn't found and I came back to life. If you usually think I'm lying to you, I don't have anything to say, but what I said this time is true, if you still don't believe it, I can tell you clearly that the three heads of the three-headed ghost are the three members of the Zhang Butcher family who disappeared five days ago. ”

After the Master's words were finished, everyone in the audience fell silent, and all that could be heard quietly was the sound of heavy panting.

"When... A loud bang broke the silence, and a figure slammed away from the crowd and rushed out of the teahouse, leaving a place to drink. Then there was an uproar in the teahouse, some people shivered in fear, some people questioned it, and the little boy who had just finished coaxing began to cry again.

It was Wu Nian who rushed out, and he couldn't believe his ears, wasn't the ghost that the master said was the strange woman he saw.

He muttered incoherently, "How can that woman be a man-eating devil? Such... It can't be, it can't be... But ......"

Carrying dozens of jars of wine on his back, he ran wildly in the crowded bazaar, as if he didn't feel heavy, he ran fast, and didn't care about the wine leaking out.

On this day, he finished delivering the wine and came back soon, and did not go to the bluestone pavilion that he had made an appointment with the "female ghost".

He was afraid, afraid of the female ghost that the Master had spoken of. That night, he tossed and turned on the bed, and he fell asleep at some point, and when he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and he was still holding the blue umbrella tightly in his hand.

After a while, Wu Nian came out of the door, still holding the cyan umbrella tightly in his hand.

Walking on the streets that were not large and small, and there was no heavy bamboo basket on his back, he did not feel relaxed, but was heavier than usual when carrying the drink, because the umbrella had not yet been returned.

He was wondering whether to return the umbrella, walked all the way, from the west of the city to the east of the city, and finally chose to come to the bluestone pavilion, whether she was a man-eating ghost or not, borrowing people's things was to be returned, he thought so.

But no one was there, so he waited in the stone pavilion for a long time, and returned late in the evening.

.........

He lowered his head and walked down the night road in disappointment, when he was suddenly struck by a burst of "poof... Rub... Attracted by the sound of the sharp weapon breaking through the air, he looked up and saw a two-person tall red wall. Probably because he often climbed the mountain, he quickly climbed the wall, lying on the top of the wall and looking around.

What caught my eye was a woman dancing with a sword, the woman didn't look like a country, but she was also outstanding. She was dressed in a black power suit, and her body was light and wielding the long sword in her hand in the courtyard, but for a moment, she saw the sword light flying in the sky on the side of her snake-like body.

Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he was fascinated by it, because the woman in front of him was Yan Moxue, the daughter of the Yan family he was familiar with.

"It is said that the girls in the city can eat people, it turns out to be true!" Just as Wu Nian was fascinated, a voice sounded on the right side. But Wu Nian was startled and almost fell off the high wall.

It was a fat man who spoke, who was climbing on the wall and showing half of his head like Wu Nian to look at the woman dancing sword inside, he stared at the woman in a daze, and licked his lips twice from time to time.

"Why are you here, rat. Seeing this, Wu Nian was a little displeased.

Wu Nian recognized this fat man, this fat man lived in the opposite side of his house, called Wu Hao, because the family had some small money, so he just didn't do his job, spent all day drinking, in the market, "mouse" was the number one guest in the Red Mansion, and he didn't go home for ten nights, and nine of them would spend the night in the Red Mansion. Wu Nian often played with him when he was a child, but later Wu Hao was addicted to wine, and Wu Nian was not used to it, and then the contacts gradually became less.

"Why do I need to ask here, everyone in Xiaojing Lane knows that where there is a beauty, there is the figure of my mouse, eh, ......"

Fat Wu proudly patted his big belly, but he didn't know that he was lying on the red wall with one hand and almost fell down.

"Mouse, what kind of cannibalism method is the girl you just said that the girl in the city will eat people?" Wu Nian asked puzzled.

"To be able to eat people is... It is... Oops, I told you you didn't know, you're still young. Wu Hao turned his head and looked at Wu Nian with a lingering taste: "Is it good-looking?Ah Nian, do you think people are good-looking, or do you think her sword is good-looking?"

Wu Nian just "cut", glanced at Wu Hao, and didn't answer his words again, his eyes kept staring at Yan Moxue in the courtyard.

"Boring! Look at my... Hehe!" Wu Hao jumped down from the wall, "bang!" A loud bang sounded, and Wu Hao, who fell to the ground, smiled evilly at Wu Nian at the wall: "Brother, I can only help you get here, I have time to come to Yinghong Mansion to find my brother, and at that time I will tell you that the girl in the city will eat people." ”

"......" Wu Nian wanted to go down and give Wu Hao a heavy punch, but he had already run away and disappeared. Wu Nian couldn't cry or laugh, remembering in his heart that the name of this "mouse" was not for nothing, and Xiaojing Lane was a famous thief.

Yan Moxue, who heard the sound, stopped the sword in her hand and looked at the wall, but Wu Nian on it was gone. She hurriedly put away her long sword, and with a slight leap, she crossed the two-person high red wall like a flying goose.

"Ah Nian, you don't want to see me so much?" Yan Moxue stopped Wu Nian, who was running wildly.

The familiar voice came into Wu Nian's ears, Wu Nian stopped, turned his head a little embarrassed, and saw Yan Moxue flying closer, already close to him, looking at each other, Wu Nian saw only two beautiful eyes that were the size of jade beads.

Wu Nian took two steps back, took two steps back in a trance, looked down at the woman in front of him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been almost five years." ”

"Five years, if you don't have five years, you won't see you for a year, every year I will come back from the Sword Sect, and I will practice swords in the courtyard, you lie on the wall every year, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, at least I can watch you dance the sword, I'm not tired!" The behavior of climbing the wall was exposed, and Wu Nian said embarrassedly.

"Then why don't you learn the sword, we said okay. I don't understand, I really don't understand, I can't understand that you didn't go up the mountain with Elder Pei nine years ago, but I can't understand that you haven't learned the sword after nine years. Obviously, as long as you say a word, I can take you to the Sword Sect and go to the Xiguo Sword Cultivation Gate to learn swords, but why don't you?" Yan Moxue's eyes were rosy, and she looked at the man in front of her who loved herself and was a little shorter, and she had an indescribable feeling.

"I ......" Wu Nian lowered his head and was speechless.

"We've said it's done, have you forgotten?"

Wu Nian was still silent.

"If it's a man, just raise my head!" Yan Moxue shouted angrily, "You have changed, you have become very cowardly, very humble." ”

Still couldn't get a response from Wu Nian, Yan Moxue said: "I'm leaving in seven days, Yanfu is going to move to Changlin, and I won't go back to Qinghe, if you still want to learn swords, come to Yanfu to find me on the day of Xiaoji in a month." ”

"I'm past the best age for condensing veins, and I don't want to learn swords. Wu Nian whispered.

"The Tang pear crisp last time was delicious, I want to eat the Tang pear crisp you made every day. I'll wait for you to come, don't let me down again. ”

Yan Moxue's figure disappeared in front of Wu Nian, walking very fast, without stopping at all. After she left, Wu Niancai raised her head, "A month... Fast enough ......"

"Good boy, dare to rob a woman with Lao Tzu, I didn't know what to do last time I let you go, so I gave you face. Old knife, find a time to do it, throw it to Mingtai Mountain to feed the beasts, remember, don't let Xiaoxue know. ”

"Yes, little prince, you can rest assured that the old knife will be clean and tidy. ”

Soon after, in a corner of the street outside Yanfu, the laughter of a pock-faced man and a scar-faced old man could be heard.

Coming to the door of Xiaojing Lane, Wu Nian went up to Qianpinggang on the fork road.

There is a protruding flat land in the middle of the mountainside of Qianpinggang, on which stands a hundred-year-old towering ancient pine, the ancient pine is burly, one zhang wide, the height is not topped, it is in the deep mountain, it is like standing out from the crowd, straight into the sky. The breeze came slowly, and there were pine leaves falling, and after a while, the flat ground on the ground was covered with pine leaves, and there was no loess to be seen, only the two high mounds of earth stood in the fallen leaves.

Two tombstones are erected above the mound, the tombstones are made of delicate pine wood, but the words on them are crooked, and the pen has the tendency of a dragon and a snake.

It is engraved with: the tomb of Wu Mu of Qinghe Kao, the tomb of Wu Mu of Qinghe Yan, and the tomb of Yang's mother of Qinghe.

The male and female should be a monument, since ancient times. However, this is an exception, and the two tombstones are separated and far apart.
