The big gray rat Mo Xie dug for several days in a row, and the speed was extremely fast, digging almost more than 100 meters.

Jiang Qixi and I are very happy, at this rate, if nothing else, we will be able to dig through the back mountain in less than a week.

On the side of the old ancestral hall, there was still no sound, Jiang Qixi said, there is no evil, those people dare not come to find trouble.

If you don't come, the closed households in the town will be almost grabbed, Wang Shigui will lead the way, and they will be extravagant at all, what will they eat?

"Eat people, eat your own people." Jiang Qixi said lightly.

Although I guessed this result, I was still shocked.

Of all the evil things in the world, people eat people.

"We can't take care of it, for now, we can only protect ourselves." Jiang Qixi looked at me and said.

I turned my head and looked at the villagers who were helping to shovel and transport the soil, doing their best and fleeing from Sifang Town, this is the right way.

The food became less and less, and my mother led a few women to cut off the bark and thorn grass in the vicinity, boiled it into a paste and ate rice porridge, trying her best to make everyone have something to eat.

One night, I suddenly thought of a question and asked Jiang Qixi in fear.

"Jiang Qixi, it seems that the Zhongyuan Halloween Festival is coming."

When Jiang Qixi heard this, he was also stunned, we all seemed to have forgotten, I still have a task to knock on ghosts in the middle of the night.

If Master Hu stays, there is naturally nothing wrong with it.

I don't know what will happen if I don't keep knocking on the ghosts, but one thing is certain, all the work I did before was in vain.

"Still knocking or not?" I asked Jiang Qixi.

Jiang Qixi raised his head, looked at the moon that was gradually rounding, and after thinking about it, he said, "You may not know that in ancient times, most of the people who were hard-fated people were able to knock on the watch. The original intention of your godfather is to let you knock more ghosts, to show that your life is hard, knock for eighteen years, and pass eighteen yin, so that you can settle down quickly, if you miss a year, there will be one more catastrophe in the future. ”

"What kind of catastrophe?" I gritted my teeth.

"Mostly ...... Death. Jiang Qixi was silent for a moment and said.

"Then I'll go."

Jiang Qixi lowered his head, broke his fingers and calculated, "There are still three days left." I'll go with you. ”

I nodded, in previous years, Jiang Qixi was also with me, at that time, the ghost snow was not sealed in the town, I was holding a lightning strike wood, Jiang Qixi was carrying a small flower bag, the two talked and laughed, and the fourth watch passed quickly.

It's just that in today's situation, the ghost snow is sealing the town, and the evil ghost who climbs my back is waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Jiang Qixi said seriously.

In the past few years, Jiang Qixi has said this sentence many times, and every time he hears it, it is always very warm.

I patted the falling snow on my hands, approached Jiang Qixi, and took her into my arms.

Jiang Qixi didn't move, his body trembled, and he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Chen Xichun, let's live well, go to school together, go back together after school, you recruit ghosts, I catch ghosts, if you are beaten, I will help you fight back, if I am accidentally injured, please remember to carry me home."

I wiped my eyes and wiped and wiped

"Chen Xichun, you're crying."

"The master didn't cry, he was soaked in the snow in his eyes."

Jiang Qixi laughed softly.

Grandma Zhou's body was terrifyingly weak, even if she was lying on the futon, she looked extremely difficult.

Mother will find a way to boil some soup and feed Grandma Zhou to drink.

"I can't live." Grandma Zhou raised her head and looked at us.

My heart was as astringent as if I had eaten a green citrus that had just borne fruit.

"Grandma, I'm going to be able to go out soon." Jiang Qixi said softly.

Grandma Zhou gasped, her face pale, "Grandma knows that she can't live." In the past few days, I have dreamed of your donkey grandfather, remembering that when he was young, the two of them went south and north, so unhappy, he was calling me, I thought, he himself is below, lonely and tight, he wants me to accompany him, and wants me to make sugar cakes for him to eat. ”

The mother covered her mouth and cried.

"Chun Yanzi, live well with Xi'er, Grandma is below, and she will protect you. Your donkey grandfather has learned skills from a native master for a few years, and he also knows some yin things, and grandma also knows some things. Your yin guest life, there is no life to live, and there is no death to die. ”

"Tonight, let me wear the clothes of the spring lady and sleep in the coffin. You carry the coffin to the street, and I will guard the last battle for the spring lady. ”

I choked my throat, tears rolled down my cheeks, and my voice trembled, "Grandma, you are so sick and sick, we will be able to go out in a few days, and when the time comes, I will call Grandpa Hong to save you." ”

"Old Ghost Hong can't be saved, Chun Yanzi, obedient, if you really have a heart, you and your donkey grandfather will burn more paper money next year."

I didn't answer, my legs bent and I fell to my knees. Jiang Qixi also knelt down with me.

"Spring girl, obedient!" Grandma Zhou shouted in a hoarse voice.

I didn't answer, and slammed my head on the floor.

"Xi'er! Here you go! You know what to do, I won't live until tomorrow night......" Grandma Zhou coughed hard.

Jiang Qixi turned his head, looked at me, gritted his teeth and nodded.

......

In the courtyard, I watched Jiang Qixi and a few villagers slowly carry a coffin out.

"Jiang Qixi! Come back! I yelled.

Jiang Qixi paused, and didn't listen to me after all.

The coffin, which was still coughing slightly, finally slowly left my sight.

I sat in the courtyard a little distracted, and Jiang Qixi walked in from outside not long after, patted the ghost snow on the ground, and sat down beside me.

I didn't look at her.

"Chen Xichun, this is called a fake coffin, Grandma Zhou knew that you were being chased and killed by evil ghosts, so she thought about dragging it with a dead body, the coffin is also a yin thing, Grandma Zhou is lying in the coffin wearing your clothes, and the evil ghosts can't tell it."

I slowly turned my head and looked at Jiang Qixi, "In the past, Ganzu was like this, and Grandma Zhou was also like this, sometimes, I would hate myself for being a yin, always harming people, and causing people to die without recourse." ”

"You're wrong." Jiang Qixi said lightly, "Because they believe that Chen Xichun is a good baby, who can live in peace in the future, and is also a kind person." In their hearts, you are like your own grandson, who do you protect if you don't protect you? ”

I turned my back and shed tears.

At night, in the increasingly empty town of Sifang, there was an extremely sharp scream, which pierced people's eardrums.

I saw that Jiang Qixi's body trembled.

"Grandma Zhou, if there is an afterlife, a great favor will be repaid." Jiang Qixi said softly with red eyes.

I stared out of the wooden window, my fists clenched.

The big squirrel is not evil, almost day and night digging holes, sometimes, Jiang Qixi and I will go into the hole and persuade it to rest.

Mo Xie waved his claws very humanly.

"Let it be, if it can repay the favor, it will also be very happy." Jiang Qixi smiled bitterly.

Let it be.

Every day, I pick up a charcoal branch in the kitchen and draw a horizontal line on the old and mottled wall.

"Jiang Qixi, tomorrow will be Zhongyuan." I said in a deep voice.

During the Halloween Festival, especially at night, wild ghosts from all over the world come out together to eat incense in the world.

"When we go to knock on the watch, be careful, no problem. What's more, not to mention that thing has been deceived by Grandma Zhou, so it shouldn't feel so fast. ”

That thing, the thing that left a ghost birthmark on my back.

Although they have not met, they have been friends for a long time.

I asked Jiang Qixi if it was possible for us to kill it.

Jiang Qixi was silent for a moment, looked up at the dark and oppressive sky, and spit out, "It's late, wash and sleep." ”

At the bottom of the cave, there is good news today, the big gray squirrel is not evil, and finally dug out the loose black soil.

I shouted excitedly in the yard, those loose black soil, if I guessed correctly, those black sand soil, are the black soil of the wild forests in the back mountains.

It won't be long before we can escape from Sifang Town.

Jiang Qixi was also overjoyed, and inadvertently hummed the song in the TV series "Huanzhu Gege".

I looked at Jiang Qixi with some doubts, Xiaodao Gu actually likes bouncing little swallows.

Jiang Qixi saw me looking at her, turned her head and was stunned for a moment, then glared at me viciously, returned to her true colors, and walked into the house with a small flower bag.

"Jiang Qixi, it's Zhongyuan today." I chased after Jiang Qixi and said.

"I know, I have already called my godmother to light three pillars of incense at the door." Jiang Qixi replied.

"Come here tonight, tomorrow you will be able to dig a hole."

Jiang Qixi snorted, "Don't be afraid, the third watch patrols to the fourth watch, very fast, in the past, we used to talk and laugh and pass, don't you remember." ”

I naturally remember, but now it's a ghost snow town.

"Don't be afraid." Jiang Qixi took out the incense burner, lifted my clothes, and smeared the incense burner ash on the ghost birthmark on my shoulder, "Chen Xichun, don't be afraid, Grandma Zhou deceived it, in a short time, normally speaking, it should not appear." ”

"What if it's not normal?" I smiled wryly.

When Jiang Qixi heard this, he knocked on my skull, "Don't crow's mouth, have you forgotten, you said that it snowed, and it was really a ghost snow to seal the town." ”

I muttered, "Then I said I found the money, but I didn't find the money?" ”

"Crow's mouth, it's all good things and bad things, don't talk nonsense! I'm pumping nonsense! Jiang Qixi said slightly angrily.

"Okay, I won't talk about it, I hope tonight will pass safely, and I will walk out of Sifang Town tomorrow!"

"That's pretty much it!" Jiang Qixi smiled.

When the third watch was about to be over, I was standing under the roof, with a watchman on my waist, and Jiang Qixi wrapped the small flowers and stood next to me.

My mother came over and shoved an egg into my hand.

I was amazed at how there were still eggs left after all the laying hens were killed.

"Last time, that thing pretended to be your father, cheating on eating and drinking, I was reluctant, I knew that you liked to eat, so I secretly left one, I was going to knock on the watch tonight, come, eat more, be bolder." Mother said softly.

I took the egg, looked at my mother, and reached out to pull the broken hair from her forehead to her sideburns.

My mother was much older.

"Chun Yanzi, don't be afraid, go home alive, my mother still has a sweet potato, make you potato cakes to eat!" Mother said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, in an instant, I suddenly became brave, dragged Jiang Qixi's hand, and strode towards the entrance of the courtyard.
