Zhong Kui did not refute Wengen's unreasonable accusations. He raised his eyes to look at the reckless mountains and forests, and said to the two of them in a faint tone: "I'll show you something later, and you will understand what's going on." ”

Because it was too late, it was too late to rush back to the county seat, so Zhiqing decided to rest at Xia Laohan's house tonight.

The colors of dusk had not yet completely disappeared, and a vague full moon rose in mid-air.

It seems that tonight is another unusual night of a full moon, and the full moon is dark red throughout. The dark red full moon gives people a faint and indescribable weirdness.

Zhong Kui, who was walking behind, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the full moon, and his heart trembled slightly. Retract your gaze from a distance and stare at Zhiqing's broad back in front of you. An inexplicable haze instantly filled my mind, and a cold wind blew on my face. He suddenly felt a faint sense of unease, like a thorn full of sixth sense.

Night was expected to fall, and the outlines of the distant mountains blurred and the trees became a dark scene.

found Zhong Kui, but did not see the children he said. This somewhat puzzled Zhiqing, although he was mentally prepared to know that Zhong Kui always did something unusual, and he felt a little unacceptable alien in all aspects.

But if it was really like Wengen said, Zhong Kui was deliberately joking or bluffing them, saying something about the orphans of Youmenling Village, then it would be too undeserved.

For the sake of the children that Zhong Kui said, the two of them temporarily gave up patrolling Xia Zhi'an's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the children didn't see it, but scared him and Wengen so much that they lost two souls.

Thinking like this, Zhiqing's heart instantly cooled, but he pushed himself to the forefront for Zhong Kui. If anything else really happens, it's that you can't eat and walk around.

Wen Gen rushed forward tiredly, looking very scared, and didn't dare to stop for a while.

I don't know who said that, walking at night is faster than during the day. Sure enough, under the time of Zhiqing's budget half an hour earlier, the three of them quickly returned to Xia Laohan's house.

Although Wengen is timid, he thinks he has a good cooking skill. When he returned to Xia Laohan's house, he plunged into the stove and prepared a simple dinner to fill his stomach.

Cooking is based on a variety of ingredients, and it is the most extravagant idea to have all kinds of cooking ingredients in this poor country. Wengen found half a bag of salt in a wooden cabinet in the stove, and there was nothing left of soybean oil or anything.

Accompanied by Zhong Kui and Zhiqing, Wen Gen pulled half of the rotten cabbage that had withered by the river.

There was no rice, but fortunately the tank of clear water was still edible. A pot of water and half a rotten cabbage was boiled in a smoky fire, Wengen sprinkled a little salt into the pot, stirred it with wooden chopsticks, and ate a bowl of rotten cabbage with water.

After dinner, the dark red full moon slowly climbed up the treetops. Zhong Kui took out the cloth bag in his hand and explained the story that had happened before to Zhiqing and Wengen.

In the cloth bag is the half-dead soul that Zhong Kui rescued in the purple bamboo forest, and what is a half-dead soul has its own explanation later.

Anyway, Zhiqing and Wengen saw that after Zhong Kui opened the cloth bag, a few faint shadows flew out of it.

The shadows gradually formed a human form in the space, bowed to Zhong Kui, who released them, and disappeared into the inky darkness of the night in the blink of an eye.

Zhiqing and Wengen were stunned to see the scene happening in front of them, looked at each other at Zhong Kui, and asked in unison, "What did you put just now?" ”

"Spirits." Zhong Kui's indifferent demeanor seemed to be looking at those dark shadows that had disappeared.

Because Wen Gen knew that Zhong Kui was an unusual person in the front, although he was scared when he saw it now, but the master was one more person, so he was much bolder. When he looked at the master, he realized that the master was also afraid.

Seeing this scene in front of me, scared! Zhiqing is face turned white and his body was cold, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How can you take in ghosts?" ”

"It's hard to put into words, I'll tell you about the children!"

Zhiqing nodded and said, "Let's go into the house!" As he spoke, he still looked at it with palpitations, and there was no dark space outside reflected by the moonlight, so he took the lead and walked to the inner room alone.

Wen Gen was even more nervous and did not leave his master's side, he pulled his collar and followed Zhiqing into the house.

There was a slight stabbing sound, followed by a faint puff of green smoke, and the kerosene lamp swayed and danced with its special sparks.

Zhong Kui came in behind and found a place to sit. At a casual glance, three ghostly shadows flickered on the wall under the reflection of kerosene lamps, and told them both about the past and the future.

This statement shocked Zhiqing and Wengen to open their mouths wide, and they didn't say anything for a long time. In sympathy for the poor children, and the people who suffocated to death in the purple bamboo forest. But in their hearts, they were still afraid of the woman they saw in the afternoon, and the two of them were afraid that no one could know about it, to know that the woman who suddenly appeared behind them, could it be a female ghost?

When Zhong Kui heard Zhiqing say the woman, he shook his head indifferently and denied the two of them's thoughts.

"She's not a ghost."

"How can you be sure?" Wengen asked nervously.

"I'm sure." Zhong Kui didn't explain the reason, and said stubbornly.

"Okay, let's not fight, let's find a way to spend tonight!" Zhiqing is a little distrustful of Zhong Kui now, he thinks that women must be female ghosts, otherwise how could they be ghostly?

Zhong Kui knew the thoughts of the two of them, but he knew that it was not a female ghost that was terrifying, but something else. But he didn't point out what the clues were, but said with a casual look: "It's okay, you sleep tonight, I'll keep vigil." ”

Having said that, it is impossible to think about nothing and sleep peacefully. What's more, just now the two of them saw the scene of Zhong Kui releasing the ghost with their own eyes, who knows if this monster will take advantage of the two of them to sleep and invite the ghost to make trouble!

Above is Wengen's idea.

Zhiqing thought that it seems that Zhong Kui, this kid is not simple. Not only does he deal with ghosts, but he also knows some incomprehensible things. His secret is unfathomable, and he needs to be carefully examined.

Zhong Kui thought that when they both slept peacefully, if there was really any trouble. He could handle it alone, as long as the two of them didn't become a burden in his self-defeating ways.

"Haha! Anyway, it's still early, let's go take Lao Xia's book and take a look, so that it can be confusing with time. Zhiqing suddenly broke the silence and said. Truth; He didn't want to strangle the ghost in his sleep.

"Huh?" Wen Gen was puzzled and looked at the master in confusion.

"I'm illiterate, what do you think?" Zhong Kui said with a bitter face.

"It's okay, I've heard that after the exercise, you have to eliminate illiteracy. When the time comes, I'll help you find an illiteracy class, how about you go to literacy? Zhiqing looked at Zhong Kuidao.

Zhong Kui was overjoyed and said: "That dare is good." ”
