"Hey!" Ran Ran sighed in a complicated mood, looked at the bubble tea shop with blank eyes, and said with some sadness, "Let's go!" ”

Qin Lingxuan patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't be depressed, the short separation is just for a longer reunion!" ”

Ran Ran nodded thoughtfully, as if she had comprehended the true meaning of Qin Lingxuan's words!

Qin Lingxuan's words are also comforting to himself, isn't this how he and Jin'er came over, if they can come together, even if it is the sky, they can't beat the mandarin ducks and forcibly break up, this is the charm of human emotions.

"Ling, I'm fine, don't worry about me," Ran patted his chest and replied to Qin Lingxuan, full of confidence, after experiencing all kinds of things in the other world, he has already become stronger, because he doesn't want to drag Qin Lingxuan's hind legs, he doesn't want him to "worry" anymore, he has to take on the responsibility and responsibility that he should have as a brother!

Empress Yu is still waiting to be rescued, she is like an obsession, let Ran Ran pick it up, and he can't let it go anymore, although it is only a short time together, he can't forget her glance and smile, he vows, he must find Xiu'er, even if she is just a ghost, he will do his best to find her.

"Let's go!" Jin'er raised her wrist and looked at her watch, the time was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and if she didn't leave, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with the bus to Bixian County.

"Anthracene!" Qin Lingxuan nodded approvingly, he was about to see his grandmother who had been absent for thirteen years, and he was indescribably excited, and now his only relative was only the grandmother in the ancient village.

Just as the three of them turned to leave the bubble tea shop, a hurried shout called them back.

"Jin'er, wait." Li Ping was carrying a large bag of things in her hand, and was panting and rushing out.

"What are you?" Jin'er wondered.

Ran Ran thought that she had changed her mind and was willing to go to the ancient village with them, she was a little happy in her heart, her smile was like Xiu'er, in her, Ran Ran saw Xiu'er's shadow.

"Here's some carry-on clothes, bring them with you for easy change!" Li Ping handed the three packages to the three people in turn.

At first glance, the three of them just didn't have a good "home", let alone the experience of going far away, and they didn't even bring a change of clothes, so they were empty-handed, although they were comfortable, they were afraid that they wouldn't even have clothes to wear when the time came.

"I have a heart!" Ran Ran cast a complicated look at Li Ping.

"I'll help you get something," Qin Lingxuan said, taking Jin'er's package to his hand quickly, and Ran Ran's package was also "snatched" by him.

"Warm man, intimate," Jin'er playfully leaned into Qin Lingxuan's ear and said, secretly putting her lips close to his cheek and kissing him.

Qin Lingxuan was taken aback by her sudden move, and stepped back, her face couldn't help but turn red.

"It's comfortable!" Jin'er was like a little hooligan, "stealing the fishy" and enjoying the incense tongue, licking the skin of her mouth, the fragrance in her mouth was mixed, making a "chirping" sound.

"It's not early, let's go!" Qin Lingxuan urged, if it continues to develop like this, I don't know what kind of moth Jin'er will make.

The three of them got ready, left the bubble tea shop, and walked in the direction of the station.

"You must be careful, the ancient village is not peaceful!" Li Ping reminded worriedly in the back, silently praying for their safety in her heart.

Jin'er waved her hand back, leaning against Qin Lingxuan.

The Bixian bus station is crowded with people, and the cars that go in all directions are endless......

The sharp-eyed Qin Lingxuan saw the bus from Bixian County to the ancient village, which was also the only one, parked alone at the edge of the station, and the other vehicles were parked far away from it.

After getting closer, Qin Lingxuan was puzzled, this passenger car looked a little old, the car was rusty, and after a period of "service", I am afraid that it could be "retired", and the dust and dirt on it were layer after layer, as if it had never been cleaned.

"Can this car be done?" Ran Ran also asked suspiciously.

Since experiencing the ghost car incident, Qin Lingxuan and Ran Ran have palpitations, and when they see the broken car in front of them again, they can't help but be afraid for a while.

"You can sit and you can sit," Jin'er ran like a wild horse on the loose, running wildly in the direction of the bus,

Then he turned his head and mischievously urged them, "Just sit on the undead, just leave it, I can bear it, the two old men still pick and choose......"

Qin Lingxuan chased after him with a somewhat panicked expression, carrying three packages, quite like an "old man scavenging waste", depressed.

"Don't talk nonsense, unlucky," Qin Lingxuan told Jin'er rigorously, and then explained to her that the car is willing to be smooth sailing, and no one wants any accidents, so before the car starts, you can't say anything weird and weird, otherwise it will be unlucky, this is a custom, according to the explanation of modern civilization, this is a kind of self-psychological comfort.

"Got it!" Jin'er stepped onto the bus in three steps and two steps, as if she was eating a homely meal, and she was very familiar with it.

"Get in the car, it's time to go!" The driver of the bus was a middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a somewhat faded white shirt and sunglasses, and his face was pitted and looked a little scary.

Qin Lingxuan followed, when he stepped into the carriage, he couldn't help but let go of his tense nerves, there was a lively scene in the carriage, like a market, everyone was talking about various topics, and they didn't pay too much attention to the three people who suddenly appeared.

Qin Lingxuan put the package on the storage shelf, his eyes scanned around the carriage, there was just one triple seat left, he took the lead and sat in the middle position. Jin'er sat on his right side, and Ran Ran sat on his left.

"Fasten your seatbelts, sit tight, and let's go!" The driver of the bus coldly urged, and with the sound of the car starting, they finally set off.

The bus quickly drove out of the station, left the county seat of Bixian County half an hour later, and drove smoothly on the highway.

"Wow, look at that mountain!"

"Wow, look at that tree!"

"Wow, look at that terrace, it's so beautiful!" Jin'er's mouth kept exclaiming, like a "small person in the market" who had never seen the world, screaming wildly.

Qin Lingxuan smiled at her, didn't take her words, and let her enjoy the scenery along the way happily, after all, there are really not many days like this.

"I'm so sleepy, I'll lean on your chest muscles," as soon as Jin'er finished speaking, she leaned her head on Qin Lingxuan's chest, and didn't care if he agreed or not, but in her opinion, he would not refuse, and he might have done it before, the last time he "confessed tacitly", after confirming that they were together, he would definitely not refuse.

"Jin'er, you can sleep for a while, you are tired during this time!" Qin Lingxuan caressed Jin'er's hair lovingly.

The bus continued to drive, and Jin'er had already fallen asleep, pursing her lips and chuckling from time to time, as if she had had some kind of sweet dream......

"It's time to get to the ancient town, and it's still half an hour before we get to the ancient village," the bus driver manually announced, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice, making this hot summer seem to have returned to the cold winter.

Jin'er was woken up by his words, rubbed her sleepy eyes reluctantly, and still buried her head in Qin Lingxuan's chest, half-asleep and half-awake.

"What's that?" Jin'er suddenly exclaimed.

Qin Lingxuan followed the prestige, and saw an old woman half-kneeling on the road, about seventy, her thin body was like an aging branch, and she was about to fall down when she was gently blown by the wind, her head was full of silver hair, but there was a lot of black dirt, and her teeth fell out of several pieces, some of which were incomplete.

At this time, she was crouching beside a small ditch, holding a large handful of dead coins, which she divided into several parts, and folded them into the shape of paper cranes, and then, with a huge incense stick stuck in the earth, she threw the burning paper crane into the stream and let it drift.

"Don't look, Jin'er," Qin Lingxuan covered Jin'er's eyes with his hand, and in the dark, he felt a hint of danger.

The train picked up speed and sped past......

The old woman who was "working hard" suddenly raised her head, revealing an old yellow face, the skin and flesh on her face were loose, and even the raised cheekbones could be seen, and wrinkles covered the whole face, as if there was no gap left.

"This old man is a little strange," Qin Lingxuan said to Ran Ran suspiciously, this is not a funeral place, and there is no coffin to see off, let alone a hearse, only an old woman, strangely appearing here.

"Anthracene, I think too, but the car is about to drive over, we still don't want it

Mind this matter," Ran Ran said with relief, no matter how strange the old woman appeared, she couldn't take care of them, as long as the car could reach the ancient village safely, they would have nothing else to ask for.

Just as the two were talking, the old woman suddenly glared angrily, and those eyes were already sunken into the sockets, and they looked very terrible.

"Boom," the sound of emergency braking sounded, and beads of sweat oozed from the driver's forehead.

The people on the bus who did not know the situation stopped the heated discussion and looked at the front of the bus.

"What happened?" Jin'er poked her head out of Qin Lingxuan's arms and asked in horror.

"Don't open your eyes," Qin Lingxuan deliberately raised her voice and told Jin'er in a cold tone.

Jin'er knew that the bus was forced to stop urgently, something major must have happened, Qin Lingxuan's advice was also for her good, she didn't want her to be frightened in any way, she obediently followed Qin Lingxuan's instructions, closed her eyes tightly, and stopped talking.

Qin Lingxuan asked Jin'er to sit down by herself, he got up from his seat, and came to the front door of the bus with Ran Ran to check the reason why the bus was forced to stop.

"This, this ......" Ran Ran was speechless in horror, looking at the scene in front of her, Qin Lingxuan couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that the tires of the bus crushed a pattern python, its body was as thick as a bucket, after being pressed by the bus, the flesh and blood flew sideways, it was constantly spitting snake letters, doing the struggle for survival.

This patterned python appeared too weirdly, I had never seen it in my field of vision before, how could it suddenly cross the road now, Qin Lingxuan was puzzled.

It was crushed by the bus, and it was already dying, and the hearts of everyone on the bus were in their throats, and they speculated: "It's not dead yet, will it ......retaliate?"

The most taboo thing for people who drive and walk is to run over animals and the like, not to mention spiritual creatures such as snakes.

There is a folk saying that it is said that this is a roadblocker, its appearance is to remind passing vehicles, there is danger ahead, it is forbidden to pass, if it is intentionally crushed to death, it will turn into various forms, create various incidents, and retaliate; If it is unintentional, the "person who caused the accident" needs to do a ritual to ward off evil spirits for himself.

There is another folk saying, it is said that when the snake suddenly crosses the road, it is in a crossing, and if it succeeds in crossing, it will grow horns on its forehead and become a jiao, and if it fails, it will have a grudge and take revenge on those who "persecuted" it......

"Master, let's get out of the car and take a look," Qin Lingxuan discussed with the bus driver in a gentle tone.

"It's just a snake, Lao Tzu thought he had hit someone," when he saw the situation clearly, he didn't think so, his face was full of disdain, he was not superstitious at all, and it was the python's luck that hit the "muzzle".

"It's not that simple, such a big patterned python must have spirituality, it's just injured now, put the car backwards and let it live," Qin Lingxuan patiently explained to him, hoping that he would have a minimum of awe for the living beings, as for whether he was superstitious or not, it was up to the individual.

"You yellow-mouthed kid still dare to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, isn't it just a snake, can it really find Lao Tzu for revenge?" The bus driver had a temper burst and his attitude towards Qin Lingxuan was extremely unfriendly.

Ran Ran glared angrily, thinking about saying something, but was stopped by Qin Lingxuan.

"I advise you to be kind," Qin Lingxuan replied coldly.

When the Xie family faced Xie Hunyuan, his momentum had never been lost, let alone such a driver.

"This is Lao Tzu's car, Lao Tzu has the final say," the bus driver has some tendons, so he has to argue with Qin Lingxuan, he is very disgusted to ask others to teach him how to do it, he has his own ideas, and he will not be swayed by others.

"It's your car, yes, but the passengers in the car are not your people," Qin Lingxuan calmly faced, and then asked, "You don't care about the lives of a whole car of people?" ”

"Ridiculous," the bus driver slammed on the accelerator and ran over the pattern python as soon as he finished speaking.

"Park, what are you doing?" Qin Lingxuan roared.

The driver of the bus didn't pay any attention to him, and hummed a little tune to himself.
