Wang Po half-bowed her head, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Xing Ruyi pointed to the houses on the left and right: "You just said that because Dongzhu's house is haunted, the neighbors on the left and right are hanging red cloths to ward off evil spirits, but have you ever looked at these red cloths carefully?" ”

"Isn't it just ordinary red cloth? At most, the fabrics used by other people's families are better than mine, and I, a poor lonely old man, can find these red cloths every year, which is already very good. ”

"That's right! It's every year. Wang Po, you just said a very key word, that is, every year. Because you have a ghost in your heart, you need to hang a red cloth in your home every year to ward off evil spirits, but despite this, you can still hear the sound of Dongzhu walking. Do you know why? Because Dongzhu is going to you, to ask you for the gold bracelet that she has taken from her. ”

Wang Po's face turned white.

Xing Ruyi continued: "If you take a closer look at the red cloths of the neighbors on the left and right, almost all of them are the kind that have been hanging for many years, and some of them have even been torn and faded after the wind and rain. Don't you wonder why they don't hang new ones every year? This is because they are frank and open, and they all grew up watching Dongzhu, and even if Dongzhu is a ghost, he will not bother them.

In addition, there is another circumstance that you have not noticed, Mrs. Wang.

Just now, I came back with Dong Zhu Niang, and when you saw Dong Zhu Niang from afar, you subconsciously hid this gold bracelet in the cuffs. This is because you are afraid, you are afraid that Dong Zhu Niang will see that this bracelet was taken off her daughter. But when you talk to me, you show this bracelet intentionally or unintentionally, because you want to show off, to show me that you have such a good thing. ”

After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he returned the gold bracelet to Wang Po: "As the saying goes, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." Wang Po, you have also carried this bracelet for many years, if you want to sleep peacefully from now on, return this bracelet to Dongzhu. Of course, if you don't pay it back, it's more than half a month, less than a day or two days, and Dongzhu will come to you by himself to ask for it. When the time comes, she may want not only this bracelet, but your life.

Stealing, although it is only a minor crime, is remembered clearly and clearly in the account book of Yin Si. As for the punishment you will face, I don't know, you can think about it when you are fine. ”

After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he walked to Dongzhu's house.

"Girl" Wang Po called Xing Ruyi: "This bracelet is indeed what I took from Dongzhu, and my wife does not deny it." It's just this matter, girl, can you help me keep it a secret for the time being, I'm ...... I returned it to Dongzhu myself. ”

"Don't worry, although I like to be nosy, I don't like to be nosy. I have already told Wang Po just now, whether this bracelet is left or not, it is up to you. ”

"Thank you, girl!" Wang Po nodded, bent over, and returned to her courtyard.

"She's procrastinating, and she won't return the bracelet at all." The fox appeared, and it turned out that he had been following Xing Ruyi's side.

"I know! People have some greed, and it's not surprising that she has them. I just kindly reminded her that if she wakes up, she will naturally have two more years of stopping, but if she is obsessed, it will be difficult for you and me to guess what will happen. ”

"Do you still want to go to Dongzhu's house?"

"Hmmm! I want to check it out. If I can help this poor mother and daughter, I can also accumulate merit for us. After all, people and ghosts have different paths, yin and yang are separated, they are no longer human, if they stay here all the year round, it is not only bad for themselves, but also for these neighbors around them. ”

The black qi that walked slowly around him could not be seen by ordinary mortals, but Xing Ruyi and the fox could see it clearly. Living in this black gas all year round, people's physique will get worse and worse, and they often feel an inexplicable coldness. This is due to the perennial invasion of Yin Qi.

In the long run, the people around you will be affected by this yin qi, and not only will they suffer from all kinds of strange diseases, but even their temperament will become strange.

A trace of warmth spread to the tip of her heart through Xing Ruyi's fingertips. She looked down and saw the fox's hand, through the thin cool air, holding hers tightly.

"Let's go, I'll go with you! Even if you have ghost arts, you are still just a mortal after all, and the yin qi here is already so heavy, I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable. With me, I will protect you, so that you will not get sick when you go back. ”

Xing Ruyi smiled sweetly, but did not refute, and let the fox who was invisible again lead him into Dongzhu's house.

Dongzhu's home is like a ghost realm, and there is that kind of black ghost aura everywhere. The furnishings in the room are very simple, and most of the objects are old, but it can be seen that the owner is very attentive to its care. Whether it is tables, chairs, benches, or small objects placed, they are all wiped very clean.

Xing Ruyi didn't see Dongzhu's mother, which made her feel very strange, because this family is not big, and after looking around, she almost saw it all. The fox motioned to Xing Ruyi not to worry, and to look with her other pair of eyes. Sure enough, there is a difference in the black gas in this room, the closer you get to that cabinet, the stronger the black gas becomes.

"Got a dark grid?" Xing Ruyi asked the fox in a low voice.

The fox nodded: "Do you remember what that princess said?" She said she watched someone carry Dongzhu into her home, but never carried it out again. This courtyard is so big a palm, except for this wing on the west side, the rest of the room is also dilapidated, what does this mean? It shows that of the three houses, only the west wing is the one that is regularly occupied. If you look at the furnishings in this room, isn't it a little strange? ”

"It's a little strange, like the table, the cupboard, and the bed are in a bit awkward."

"Come!" The fox took Xing Ruyi's hand and walked to the other side: "You stand here, take a closer look." Tell me what you see."

"One way! Or rather, a special passage. Xing Ruyi's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, when you fox is here, the reaction level of my brain will be a few beats slower, and even my observation ability will be weak." ”

"It shows that you trust me and are happy to rely on me." The fox tapped the tip of Ruyi's nose: "It's not a shame to rely on your own husband." ”

"Of course, it's not a shame, after all, not everyone can pick up such a powerful Xianggong." Xing Ruyi carefully observed everything in the room.

The bed is folded very neatly, and even on the sheets, there is not even a single fold, which shows that no one has slept on this bed since the night Dong Zhuniang bought the medicine. The answer is very simple, Dong Zhuniang is already a living dead, the living dead don't need to sleep, even if she is tired and wants to lie down, she definitely doesn't have the heart to make the bed so neat, because she said that her time is running out.

The dead don't care if the room before their death is messy, and the living dead who don't have much time are also in the mood to take care of these anymore, even if she has a serious habit of cleanliness, even if she has developed the habit of tidying up, at this time, it will be an exception. The corresponding argument is that the table next to it, although it is wiped clean, but the teacup and tea bowl are misplaced, especially the lid on the tea bowl, which is still turned over, and there are still tea stains on it.

One of the chairs had crooked feet, and from the direction of the offset, it was obvious that the person who came out of the cabinet had been knocked crooked. So, a new rancid smell was added to the wood, which was very consistent with the wound on Dong Zhuniang's leg.

Xing Ruyi was hesitating to open the cabinet door, but the door opened by itself. Behind the door was dark at first, followed by a man floating out.

The man, who didn't seem to notice Xing Ruyi, clinged to her body and floated past her eyes. When she staggered by, Xing Ruyi saw her face, although it was not rotten in her eyes as Wang Po said, but it was covered with terrifying black spots.

Xing Ruyi was about to ask the fox, but he knew what was going on with the dark spots on Dongzhu's face, but the fox covered his mouth and disappeared together.

"Why did you bring me out?"

Back at the door of the Ruyi rouge shop, Xing Ruyi asked the questions that had been held all the way.

"It's simple, because we've been discovered." The fox walked into the shop gracefully: "Just now, when you were looking at Dongzhu, Dongzhu's mother was standing in that cabinet, staring at you motionless. I think she was extremely reluctant for people to come into her home and disturb their mother and daughter. If I hadn't dragged you out in time, maybe she would have done it to you. When the time comes, will you beat her, or will you be beaten by her? ”

"Besides beating and being beaten, don't I have a third option?" Xing Ruyi held his breath in his heart, and he didn't want to go back, so he did it on the steps at the door, and looked up at the sky: "Fox, what do you say about Dongzhu's face?" ”

"Nothing big! That face should have been bitten by a poisonous insect. At first, it is like being bitten by a mosquito, it is itchy and painful, and then it will turn into a big bag, and when the big bag breaks through the water, the bitten place will become a black spot. I was bitten by this bug many years ago. ”

"It's like it's true, come on, find your dark spots and I'll take a look. By the way, let me do an experiment to see if I can get rid of this dark spot. ”

"Or do you want to help them?"

"Giving up halfway, do you think it's my character to be punished?" Xing Ruyi held his chin: "Seriously, I also want to know, what happened to Dongzhu back then?" Also, since so many years have passed, why is it that now, Dong Zhuniang wants to help her ask for medicine. Could it be that Dongzhu's fiancé is back? ”

"What if you come back? You also said that people and ghosts have different paths, and they are destined to be impossible to be together. Taking a step back, even if Dongzhu is still alive, her fiancé may not be able to recognize her. That face, at least it looked like it had been bitten by dozens of poisonous insects. The toxin has invaded the skin, and if you want to be completely cured, let alone you, even I am not sure. ”

"Is it really that hard?" Xing Ruyi didn't believe it: "What about the place where you were bitten by insects before?" Is it good? ”

The fox raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked Xing Ruyi: "Where do you think I can be bitten by insects?" ”

The fox's smile was too ambiguous, so that Xing Ruyi's little head wanted to be crooked if she didn't pay attention, she whispered and asked tentatively: "Is it difficult, is that place?" I remember that when you foxes reverted back to their original forms, they were all unclothed. So, that's why you're so reluctant to have sex with me? ”

The fox had a black line on his face, turned around, and was gone!

Xing Ruyi held his chin and sighed when he looked up to the sky: "Hey! I can't imagine that my happiness was ruined in the hands of a poisonous insect. Hum! When I catch that poisonous insect, I will definitely dismantle it in eight pieces and divide its five fingers. ”
