The start of the third act was not very laborious, but it was ...... The two sitting in the teahouse glanced at each other, did they just need to listen to the story this time?

After the system prompt that came out of the Lin Mansion before, the scene changed leisurely into a teahouse, Lin Xi and Jing Mei were sitting upright, there was a pot of tea, a stack of sunflower seeds, a stack of peanuts on the table in front of them, and a storyteller in the center of the teahouse telling a story. Of course, the point is that the two also took on a task - to listen to the story that just opened in the teahouse.

After more than ten minutes, the story was almost finished, and the two of them almost understood what kind of story it was.

Since it is still inseparable from the word love - once upon a time there was a pair of men and women, who were childhood sweethearts who were together since childhood, and the parents of both sides were also very familiar, seeing that the two were getting older and did not change the feelings that they liked each other in the past, they naturally helped the two get engaged, and then there was no obstacle to marriage. After the two fell in love for three years, an accident suddenly happened, the woman's family fell into the middle of the road, and because she had not come out for three years, she had to be forced to give the man a concubine to prolong the heir. At that time, the two were still very affectionate, and neither wanted more than one third party, so the man suggested that the woman should honor the elders in the family, so as not to be said that she was jealous and did not give him a concubine. However, who knows, in the end, the man still accepted a concubine because of the pressure of the family, and the woman often thought that the elders in the family ignored him, so the relationship between the two slowly faded.

But that's not the point, the most important thing is that a big recent event has something to do with their family.

The man's Zhou family was first sued by the woman's Zhao family for the crime of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, and after making the whole love villa boiling, he hastily punished the man for abandoning the concubine room and compensated the woman Zhao for the end.

But...... The story isn't over yet.

After a period of time, the woman Zhao was moved to the deepest courtyard of the villa by the man Zhou on the grounds that he was suffering from a serious illness, and a large group of people were arranged to be there under the name of care, but what was shocking was that a fire suddenly broke out in the courtyard, and everyone, including Zhao, was burned to death overnight. And I heard that the soul of the Zhao family still refused to leave for a long time, so it became the most taboo place to mention, and the Zhou family even built a high wall to enclose the courtyard, one is to prevent the children on the village from breaking in by mistake, and the other is to seek peace of mind so as not to find the unjust soul.

After the storyteller paused, the whole teahouse was full of sighs, some people said that the Zhao family was too stupid, some people said that the surname Zhou was not a man, and some people said that it must be the little concubine who was really vicious. But no matter what they say, the matter has happened, and it is irreparable, and it is also someone else's family matter, although the fire was not explicitly stated, but they all know that it was not the Zhou family that caused it but the Zhao family itself, so it can't involve human life...... It's really just like a story, just say it's heard.

It was not until the people in the teahouse were almost dispersed that the two got up and walked out of the teahouse.

As early as the end of the story, they had already received the next task - to go to the Zhou family's courtyard.

And it's really related to the soul or something, just looking at it inside or daytime, it will come out of the twilight, and the love villa reflected in the sunset is still beautiful and chic, but the two of them don't have any appreciation at this time, and they are still immersed in the slightly heavy story just now.

It's just that it's getting dark quickly, and if you don't pass it quickly, maybe the task will be dawn before it is done, so you will have to delay another day, and now the time is not early, so it's better to hurry.

Thinking of this, the two of them reluctantly followed the direction of the Zhou family courtyard marked on the map.

That week's courtyard was indeed as the storyteller said, surrounded by high walls that ordinary people could not climb, and only some strange smells could be faintly smelled from the air, as well as a different and eerie feeling rendered by the night.

The atmosphere has reached the extreme, and this cold cat meow is enough to startle the two of them, and when they come back to their senses, they laugh helplessly.

"I've seen a lot of ghosts before, but it's rare to be a little scared before I even go in like this." Lin Xi shook his head and sighed.

Wei Mei settled down, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes...... Maybe it's because I heard that story beforehand, and if you don't know anything about this place, then there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Yes." Lin Xi sighed again, and after calming down, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "Instead of thinking too much here, it's better to go in and have a look." ”

After speaking, she was about to use her toes to carry light work, when she suddenly heard an exclamation of "ah", and stumbled forward with a movement, but it was Wei Mei who reacted in time and grabbed her to avoid the pain of hitting the wall.

Rubbing his forehead with a smile, Lin Xi stood firm and looked towards the source of the voice, "What's the matter, is there anyone?" ”

"Let's go check it out." Wei Mei already had some doubts about this week's courtyard, and at this time, she saw that there were still people at night, so she couldn't ignore it, not to mention, Lin Xiding would not care.

Sure enough, Lin Xi nodded without thinking, and then carefully pulled his posture and slowly walked over the grass that was a person tall.

After a while, the two of them saw the man who was screaming, who seemed to have been dropped from mid-air, lying unconscious on all sides, but knowing that he was alive without snorting. Lin Xi felt that he would appear here at this time, and he must not be an unrelated person, and after clicking on the attribute with curiosity for a while, he was stunned.

Wei Mei looked at her, then at the person, and then remembered to check the attributes, unlike Lin Xi, although he was also surprised, but instead turned into contemplation, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and hooked a mocking smile.

That person is none other than the male protagonist of the story, Zhou Zhi. It's not clear why he suddenly appeared, but it could be thought that it was the unjust spirit in the other courtyard, otherwise there would be no better reason.

There are unjust debtors and owners, it seems that they went in this time to open the way for this Zhou Zhi, not something else like removing grievances.

Lin Xi also thought of this after recovering from her daze, and after sighing lightly, she mercilessly took out the pot of water and poured it on Zhou Zhi's face.

The cold stimulation made Zhou Zhi shudder, and then he opened his eyes before he could see who was pulled and jumped up, and then was thrown to the ground again, but this time he could obviously feel different, and after sitting up slightly and looking around, his face changed.

Lin Xi and Wei Mei were not in the mood to pay attention to him, and after dropping the word "follow", they walked inside with a candle.

The haunting of the Zhou family's courtyard was not a lie, and the two of them walked a few steps before they saw a flash of ghost fire, and then a woman wearing a white linen cloak floated over gloomily, and without saying a word, she triggered the battle state, stretched out her hand with terrifying long nails and slashed over.

Just now because of the atmosphere was a little inexplicably scared, but now that he saw the real ghost, Lin Xi was not afraid, he calmly stepped forward with a charm, and put the charm on the female ghost's head with a "snap", and then stabbed it with the peach wood sword that he had just taken out, and saw the female ghost turn into green smoke and disperse.

Fortunately, she has all the props around her, and she doesn't need to completely scatter the ghosts in it, but can send them to reincarnation. Although she used to rely on a little mana of Xuanluo, she was not the same as before, although she was still not as good as Xuanluo, she could still cast some such spells.

Wei Mei subconsciously took out the piano to help, but was slightly stunned when she saw this, and then she put away the piano and took out the charm from her bag in case of emergency.

Compared with the calm two, Zhou Zhi, who had to follow behind the two of them because he was extremely scared, turned pale with fright, and almost couldn't take a step, so he almost didn't pee his pants.

But the two of them were disgusted with him because of that story, not to mention that they wouldn't care about his mood, and even if they did, they wouldn't comfort or take care of him, on the contrary, they wanted him to see how much resentment these people who died because of him although they were not killed by his own hands.

However, that Zhou Zhi was stronger than they imagined, at first he would see a white face, and then he was a little used to it, although he was still afraid, but he would not tremble or change his face again, but his heart became heavier and heavier, whenever Lin Xi dispersed the resentment of a ghost, he would sigh and fold his hands and say "Amitabha".

Lin Xi and Wei Mei couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the same emotion in each other's eyes - this person, maybe there was something else they didn't know.
