"Ma Xiaoting, are you here to hunt ghosts, or are you here to study?" I asked.

Ma Xiaoting was stunned and replied, "Come and study, my family is in Jiangjun County, why do you ask?" ”

I spread my hand, "I thought you were talking about studying like you were in Sifang Elementary School, but you were actually here to hunt ghosts." ”

Ma Xiaoting was slightly angry, "Chen Xichun, I helped you last time!" ”

"Remember, I helped you too." I replied.

Ma Xiaoting snorted coldly, "Chen Xichun, you still have to remember that in General County, no matter where you go, you have to take your lightning strike wood!" ”

I was shocked, "Why? ”

"Have you heard the story of General County?"

Naturally, I have heard that in Jiangjun County, it is rumored that in ancient times, the general Chai Hu, who was defeated by the enemy, fled here, recuperated for more than a year, recruited soldiers, and finally defeated the invading enemy.

Ma Xiaoting smiled faintly, "Just listen to this kind of story of deceiving the little baby." ”

I frowned, Ma Xiaoting obviously had something to say.

"You must know that when Chai Hu was defeated, there were only 100 people left around him, and Jiangjun County was just a small village at that time, how could he recruit many soldiers and defeat the 300,000 enemies of the enemy country in one fell swoop?"

"What do you mean?" I looked at Ma Xiaoting.

Ma Xiaoting looked left and right and pulled me to a remote place, "Chen Xichun, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense to others." ”

I nodded hurriedly.

"I heard from my uncles of the Ma family, at that time, with the help of an old Taoist priest, Chai Hu opened the ghost gate and borrowed 30,000 Yin soldiers, the immortal bodies of Yin soldiers can naturally slaughter 300,000 living people!"

"Aren't there any captives?"

Ma Xiaoting shook her head, "No, after Chai Hu's victory, he returned to Beijing, and the above table was folded, 30,000 soldiers and 300,000 enemy troops were both defeated and wounded, the battle was tragic, and no life was left." That's why there was such a well-known story, the one you heard. ”

"What happened to Chai Hu?"

"After three months, he died violently, fell into a snake pit, and was devoured by a thousand snakes." Ma Xiaoting said with a pale face.

My heart tightened.

"Ma Xiaoting, you told me to be careful just now, could it be that there are still Yin soldiers in this general county?"

"I don't know, but there are a lot of strange things in this general county, so my Ma family can grow rapidly by eliminating disasters for others."

Listening to Ma Xiaoting's words, I suddenly thought of the female ghost in the attic, it seems that this general county is not at peace, and it is better to be more careful when you go to school here in the future.

"So, Chen Xianchun, don't run around, let your little daughter-in-law keep an eye on you!" Ma Xiaoting giggled.

I ignored her, and I was actually starting to get a little scared.

"Chen Xichun, don't walk at night, there is a ghost gate in Jiangjun County, open it at any time, Bang Bang Bang!" Ma Xiaoting shouted again in the back.

"Scare your second uncle!" I turned my head and said angrily at Ma Xiaoting.

......

My father was in the county, not far from the middle school, and rented a shop to sell some fruits, and behind the house, there was a backyard with a few old houses. My father asked a craftsman to repair it, and although it was not exquisite, it was finally able to live in it.

One for my father and mother, one for me, and one for Jiang Qixi.

When I have time, I will help sell some fruits, and at the same time calculate the time, counting the time when Jiang Qixi will come back.

Ma Xiaoting would occasionally come over to help with the business, and then talk to me.

"Let me tell you, Chen Xichun, the Yin soldiers look like this."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaoting would pick up a small wooden stick and draw crookedly on the dirt floor.

A head with fangs at the corners of its mouth, a hooked nose, and a wrinkled face appeared in front of me.

"That's it!" Ma Xiaoting clapped her hands, "I saw it in my old book, if you see it in the future, you should be careful." ”

"Thanks, I hope not." I pouted.

"It's hard to say, Chen Xichun, you are a yin guest."

I picked up the half bag of apples that Ma Xiaoting had bought and stuffed them into her hands.

"Your dad told you to come home for dinner!"

Ma Xiaoting glared at me and left in a daze.

The weather in Jiangjun County has always been strange, just like today, it was still a big day in the morning, and in the afternoon, it began to rain.

It was late autumn, the rain was slightly cool, and people were getting colder.

On the street after school, I looked up slightly annoyed and watched the rain that didn't stop. Although it is not far from home, I am afraid that I will get wet and cold when I return in the rain.

"Chen Xichun! I have an umbrella! ”

I looked up and saw Ma Xiaoting from the opposite teaching building waving at me. I also waved my hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief, Ma Xiaoting has an umbrella, and now I can go home.

With his eyes closed, he rubbed his shoulders comfortably.

When I opened my eyes, a person stood in front of me with a black umbrella, which I recognized as Ma Xiaoting's clothes.

"Ma Xiaoting, you're quite numb."

Ma Xiaoting didn't answer me, I smiled, bent down and got into the black umbrella.

At this moment, there was a huge thunderstorm in the sky, followed by clouds surging from all directions.

It was dark all of a sudden.

I wiped my face and said with a smile, "Ma Xiaoting, enough buddy!" ”

Ma Xiaoting still didn't answer me.

I hesitated for a moment, and then turned my head to look at the person next to me. But he couldn't see anything.

I can see the world outside the umbrella, a tree, a wild dog soaked in the rain, and a white car.

Only, the people by the umbrella, I can't see clearly.

I hurriedly rubbed my eyes and turned my head to look again.

It's still a blur.

I quietly pulled out the lightning strike wood pinned to my trouser belt and asked in a deep voice, "Ma Xiaoting?" ”

No response.

I gritted my teeth, quickly poked my head out of the umbrella, and then twisted my body and prepared to run out.

A hand pressed against my shoulder.

I lifted up the lightning strike wood, and I didn't bother to look back, so I stabbed it into that hand as if I had stabbed a stone.

But the hand was still clinging to my shoulder, not letting me run away.

"Chen Xichun! Don't look back, don't let it recognize you, it can only look straight away, don't look back! At this time, Ma Xiaoting's shouting came from behind her.

Hearing this, I made up my mind, hooked my hands, and continued to stab the hands that were climbing me with lightning strikes.

After stabbing seven or eight times, the shoulder finally loosened, and then I heard a "clang" sound on the ground. I hurried forward.

Ma Xiaoting had already caught up, looked at me with a solemn face, and then looked at the black umbrella not far away.

A gust of wind blew, and the black umbrella not far away was rolled up and blew to the horizon at once.

A stone statue fell on the rain, shattered, and the hideous appearance was faintly recognizable.

"What is this? Ma Xiaoting? I asked in a cold voice.

Ma Xiaoting picked up the small black umbrella, was silent for a while, and walked towards the stone statue, I gritted my teeth and followed.

"It's broken." Ma Xiaoting said lightly, and then pointed to the two wet black cores on the ground, "This is a ghost vine, and it is said that it can be a ghost eye." ”

I frowned, why did a good stone statue have ghost eyes.

"Take a good look at the face of this stone statue." Ma Xiaoting's face was pale.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the stone statue on the ground, and on a large piece of rubble, I could vaguely make out a face, with fangs at the corners of the mouth on both sides, and a rough skin.

"Yin soldier ......," I exclaimed.

Ma Xiaoting nodded solemnly, "Some time ago, my father said that General County seems to be a lot weirder, and sure enough, today I saw a stone statue of a Yin soldier." Fortunately, the ghost Fujiko can only look directly, otherwise, if it recognizes Chen Xichun, they will come to you by any means. ”

"Why did you come back to me?" I said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, maybe, you're a sinister and hated."

I smiled wryly, this reason seems to be quite reasonable.

"How many days will Jiang Qixi come back?" Ma Xiaoting asked.

"About two or three days, it's a month." I replied that I always counted the days when Jiang Qixi came back again and again.

"Don't worry too much, my Ma family is protecting Jiangjun County, and I will tell my father." Ma Xiaoting said, thought about it, and continued to speak, "The matter of Sifang Town, my father said that he can't be provoked, but in fact, it is inseparable from Jiangjun County, and he wants to be in this place." ”

Actually, I didn't blame the Ma family, who would go out of their way to help you.

"Ma Xiaoting, are there many powerful people in Jiangjun County?"

Ma Xiaoting thought for a while, "Although there are not many, there are not many of them, there are some." ”

"Have you ever heard of an old beggar who likes to snuggle up in the corner of the wall and bask in the sun." I asked, when I was a child, Master Hu took me to Jiangjun County to meet this old beggar. This old beggar always gave me a sense of inscrugation.

"Chen Xichun, beggars like to bask in the sun, they don't have a house to live in, and they all like to nest in the corner." Ma Xiaoting pouted.

I closed my eyes and thought for a long time, "I seem to remember that in the middle of his eyebrows, there was a black mole, quite large." ”

Ma Xiaoting frowned, thought for a while, and finally shook her head.

I sighed, could it be that I was wrong, this old beggar is not a master, but just an ordinary friend of Master Hu.

Forget it, wait for Jiang Qixi to come back in two or three days, and then ask her well.

When I got home, my father and mother were collecting fruit stalls.

"I don't know why, I shouted to buy but didn't buy, and I was delayed for so much time." Father sighed.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" I walked over and asked.

"Chun Yanzi is out of school, just now, a man with a black umbrella came to buy fruit, and he didn't answer, so he stretched out his hand, as if asking me for something." The father said angrily, "I have been talking to him for a long time, but I should not be anyone, so I will drive him away." Then you came back and he was gone. ”

Black umbrella? Someone who doesn't speak?

I remembered the stone statue of the Yin Soldier.

"Daddy, where is the little wooden sword I gave you?" I asked in a deep voice.

My father thought for a moment before he replied, "Here, I used this little wooden sword to chase it!" ”

Sure enough, it is a stone statue of a yin soldier, otherwise he would not be afraid of the small wooden sword in his father's hand.

But all of a sudden, why did two stone statues of Yin soldiers suddenly appear? Could it be that according to what Ma Xiaoting said, there is a ghost gate in the underground of Jiangjun County?
