071 Ghost hunting in the middle of the night (2)
The curtain was lifted, and he turned his head to find the soft pillow and hugged it in his arms.
The inside of the pillow is buckwheat, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance, but it smells very good.
Although the donkey cart looks small from the outside, it is also comfortable to lie down, and there is a thick tiger skin in it, and there is a blanket under the tiger skin, and it is not awkward to lie on it.
It did take a lot of thought.
"How, these are all things that the master asked people to do early in the morning, and it's hard for Snow Thorn to be willing to stand up to the big sun today and go around looking for these things that the master wants."
Thirteen Le laughed: "Mo Xiao looked at these, but they were all used by the master after the trial of them." ”
Pian Zheng threw out a few handfuls of dried fruits from the car, smashed thirteen and eleven heads, and said, "I want you to talk more." ”
Thirteen took several almonds, picked one up from the side and bit it open, and chirped: "There is that tiger skin lying under you, but the two tigers that the master killed from the forest at the border pass in the first two years were originally used by the master himself, and now it is cheaper for you." ”
Pian Zheng angrily lifted the curtain, "Do you have anything else to say, chatter?" Besides, I'm not going to sit down. ”
Thirteen compromised, shook his head, and saw that the pity kite retracted again, so he muttered in a low voice: "The master is good to you and doesn't let people say ......."
The curtain opened again, and with a bang, a walnut was thrown out of the carriage and smashed right on the back of Thirteen's head......
Thirteen suddenly turned around, and was rolling his eyes at the kite, when he saw a carriage chasing after him.
"Get in!" Thirteen glanced warily.
The kite lowered the curtain, and it wasn't long before she heard the carriage catch up with their donkey cart.
"Miss Ruan, my prince sent me to send the girl back in a carriage and hand over this thing to you."
Ali rode his horse, followed by a carriage ridden by two grooms.
Pian Zheng glanced at the window and said, "No need, it's good for me to ride a donkey cart with my little brother." ”
Ah Li looked down at the little donkey cart and said strangely: "But my prince ...... explained"
"Thank you for your kindness." The pity Zheng refused, and there was a lot of momentum to get off the donkey cart.
Ali froze outside, silent.
Pian Zheng raised her eyebrows, "What, you still want to carry me out of the car?" ”
"I don't dare." Ali frowned, it was the first time in the world that he had seen the kindness of King Sheng, and he had to take a donkey cart.
"Then go back, don't frighten my donkey."
Pian Zheng leaned lazily on the carriage and said, "Thank you King Sheng for me." ”
Thirteen held back his laughter so much that the roots of his ears were red, coughed twice, and hid his laughter.
Ali nodded solemnly, and handed the object in his hand to the window.
"This is what the prince has told me to give to you, please ask your subordinates, otherwise it will be difficult to make a bad deal with the lowly position, and you will not be able to leave."
When it came to this, it was hard to refuse, and he reached out to get the thing, only to hear Ali say goodbye, and left quickly with the carriage.
Lying on the tiger skin of the carriage, he opened the brocade box sent by Ali.
There is a silver hairpin lying in the brocade box, the hairpin is inlaid with agate beads, and a jade chain pendant is hung, which is verdant and beautiful.
The girl's family came to make a headdress on weekdays, and it is rare to find such a low-luxury and colorful.
Thirteen spoke outside, "Why, I softened my heart after accepting other people's gifts, but I wasted my master's kindness in vain." ”
"Well, that sounds sour."
Pian Zheng only felt funny, put down the brocade box in his hand, and said: "Your master gave me a vegetarian hairpin, and others gave me a silver hairpin, this silver hairpin must be offered on the incense table every day, and your master had to let me practice it." ”
"You white-eyed wolf!"
Thirteen didn't hear the meaning of the words of the pity, and felt that it was not worth it for the master.
Pian Zheng hummed lightly and stopped teasing him.
She looked out at the sky from the donkey cart, and it was already dark.
"The white-eyed wolf is going to hunt ghosts now, and have a wolf howl with the ghosts, don't let tonight's mistakes delay things."
Thirteen was a little unhappy, so he reluctantly began to drive the donkey cart towards the City God Temple......
★
By the time the donkey cart arrived near the City God Temple, it was already the third watch.
The three guards of Xiudu City were leaning on the bluestone slab and were drowsy, and when they heard the movement of the donkey cart, they were startled, and one of them even dropped the knife in his hand to the ground.
The fast hunting of the gate guards in the past few days has really been tormented, and the rumors are getting more and more evil, but it really looks like the cry of a female ghost.
The kiteer got out of the donkey cart, and there was silence all around, and the cry of the female ghost in the rumor had not yet been heard.
Thirteen sent the waist card to the three guards to check it, and after confirming that it was correct, the catcher breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming in the middle of the night, these two people are really not afraid of death.
"This is the only way to get to the City God Temple?" He asked, surveying his surroundings.
As soon as a few people heard this, one of them suddenly asked, "Miss Ruan?" ”
Pian Zheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person who spoke, and his facial features were blurry in the night.
The watcher scratched the back of his head and patted his head stupidly, "Hey, really...... Miss Ruan, I'm Mo Dongqing, and I worked as a fast catcher in Taolin Town! ”
As soon as she heard this, she remembered that Mo Dongqing had saved her at that time.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be on an errand in Taolin Town? "Pity Zheng said.
Mo Dongqing sighed, "I also gave a gift to the adult, and I wanted to find a beauty in the adult's house, but I didn't think about him...... Fortunately, my insiders are more capable than me, and I found a fast job here, so I came to Xiudu. ”
"I've heard Xiao Zhutou mention you before, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Pian Zheng smiled gently.
She remembered something and said, "Since this is the case, then there are two other catchers who will continue to guard, how about Mo catches go with me to the City God Temple to explore?" ”
"It's excellent." The two catchers who were named to guard the door suddenly had a mental head and pushed Mo Dongqing outward.
The catchers said happily: "Although Mo Catcher is a newcomer, he is conscientious and conscientious, and he will definitely be able to take on a big responsibility!" ”
"You two, you drink my wine for nothing on weekdays, spit it out for me." Mo Dongqing said a joke.
At this moment, I heard a few low whines from the direction of the City God Temple, long and desolate, as if there was an invisible female ghost hidden in the night, stretching out the ghost claws, whimpering and crying.
In the middle of the night, the intermittent crying was terrifying.
"Here we go again, if there is a ghost, don't look for me!"
A certain catcher quickly took out the talisman from his arms, "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law!" ”
Mo Dongqing frowned, "This sound was there in the first two or three days, when the accident happened, there was a dog barking in the City God Temple, and every time in the middle of the night after the incident, it was such a cry, and the Holy One ordered that no one should enter or leave, so we had to stay here!" ”
This cry was intermittent and faint, and it did sound like a woman's cry from a distance.
"Don't catch it quickly, let's go for a walk."
The two catchers were silent, silently walked to the bluestone slab and leaned against it, looking at Mo Dongqing, showing a look of pity.
Thirteen are invisible, anyway, as long as they protect her life, they don't care if he's a human or a ghost.
While he was still talking in front of him, Thirteen turned around and took the torches he had prepared from the carriage and brought them with him.
Mo Dongqing was silent for a moment, as if he had made a major decision: "Then let's go." ”
The three of them walked silently along the path, their intermittent cries becoming clear, surrounded by dense grass, bustling and overwhelming by the wind, making a rustling sound.
In the middle of the night, the footsteps of the three people walking, mixed with the terrible crying, were really cautious.
The road in front of him became darker and darker, and Thirteen took out the fire fold from his cuff and lit the torch he had just brought, instantly illuminating the road in a small area.
At this moment, there is no bluestone pavement under your feet, and the fine gravel path hurts the soles of people's feet.
Pian Zheng looked up, and saw the plaque of the City God Temple in front of him, and on both sides were fallen dead trees.
The temple is overgrown with weeds, and it is even one meter high, if there is a hidden person, it must be difficult to distinguish.
The desolate cry came from the faint side of the temple in the city god, and the people who listened to it were terrified.
The closer you get, the clearer it is to your ears.
Thirteen felt goosebumps on their arms, but the woman in front of them was not afraid at all.
Pity Zheng didn't care about the two people behind, snatched the torch in the thirteen hands and went straight into the City God Temple.
The temple was dilapidated and desolate, and the torches burned the cobwebs in front of them, opening the way for them.
Stepping into this City God Temple, the woman's cry came more clearly from the courtyard of the back mountain of the City God Temple.
"Miss Ruan......" Mo Dongqing's face turned a little pale, and he looked at Ruan Lianzheng and said, "That broken corpse was dragged out from under the table under the stone statue on your right......"
The darkness beyond the torches was like a tiger, ready to pounce on them as soon as the lights were extinguished, so as to swallow them up.
Pity Zheng nodded, his eyes lit up, he slipped the torch into Thirteen's hands, walked some distance to the table, and suddenly crouched down and lifted the rags from the table.
This action really shocked Thirteen and Eleven, and almost thought she was a ghost.
In the middle of the night, they did not burrow into the place where the corpse was hidden.
She squatted in place, staring ahead, and muttered for a long time: "Someone has been here." ”
Those who heard this were alarmed.
In the middle of the night, except for them, I'm afraid that the next one will be a ghost!
Pian Zheng looked back at them and pointed to the ground, "Because the Holy Lord has blocked this place, I see that there is dust on the ground and table around me, but except for the unavoidable footprints on the road, I have never crossed half a step." ”
"Now I'm sure no one but me will want to go into this hiding place, then...... Who are these footprints at this table? ”
Hearing this, Mo Dongqing took a bold look at it, the table was black, but the position pointed by the green and white fingers was indeed empty.
It was as if someone was curled up there......
Thirteen only felt that his whole body was cold, and he swallowed his saliva, there can't really be ghosts in this world.
The cry of the female ghost, which had been interrupted for a moment, came with a whimper.
At this moment, except for the breathing sound of the three people in the City God Temple, it was already ghostly.
With a cold face, he didn't say a word, and ran briskly towards the backyard where he made a sound.
Thirteen didn't pay attention, and the pity was gone, he was angry, and hurriedly chased after Mo Dongqing.
The backyard of the temple was originally used by pilgrims to light candles and incense, and the abandoned wax stands are still densely standing in the weeds, as if black figures are hidden in the grass, as if they are about to tear apart all those who disturb the purity.
Pian Zheng frowned, and waited for Thirteen to follow, and then slowly pushed away the weeds.
Following the cry, an abandoned low well with a plank half-pressed against it was found.
The cry of the female ghost was faintly crying out of the barren well that had no daylight......
Pian Zheng smiled faintly and said lightly: "The ghost is here." ”
