Chapter 3: Ghosts

The girl had no choice but to accept fate. She thought, nine times out of ten, life is not as expected, maybe this is life.

Fate is accepted, but life goes on. The girl glanced at the coffin that had been lifted from the lid, and her mind went blank. She asked, "So, my employer just wants me to send you to Ouyang Villa?" ”

A normal man with hands and feet actually asked a weak woman to carry him away, a man's shame.

Chu Hantian said: "I have nothing to do with the person who connected with you in Yizhuang. ”

Girl: "......??!? ”

Chu Hantian continued: "I just heard by chance that the man said that he was going to find Lifuyuan to do something, so I secretly followed him, and by the way, I took advantage of his inattention to pick up the contents of the coffin and threw it away, and lay down in it myself. As a result, not long after lying down, I heard them nailing the coffin, and I thought they were going to take me to bury me, but fortunately they didn't, and I was scared to death. ”

The girl grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and threw it towards Chu Hantian.

Chu Hantian: "What are you doing?" ”

Girl: "Is it too late to bury it now?" ”

Chu Hantian: "......"

At this point, it was certain that the mission would fail, but Miss Dumpling refused to think about it more deeply. Chu Hantian lay in the coffin before she received the goods, and the client did not check his dart well, it was his own problem, and it had nothing to do with Lifuyuan. Lifu Yuan is only responsible for delivering the things given to them by the client to their destination safe and sound. Since what the client handed over to her was a coffin and a Chu Hantian, she could only ignore the three-seven twenty-one, send the coffin and Chu Hantian to the door, and be done.

The girl was very satisfied with this conclusion, but she couldn't help but ask again, "What is that thing you pulled out of the coffin?" ”

Chu Hantian blinked his eyes and said, "It's not easy to describe." ”

If Chu Hantian answered something else, whether it was gold and silver treasures or treacherous dead people, the girl could quickly leave it behind. But when he said that, it was really hard to ...... Don't mind. The girl couldn't help but ask, "Is it a living creature?" Or is it a dead thing? ”

"Hmm...... It should be a dead thing, but it should also be a living thing. ”

She felt that she should not ask any more questions, but instinct warned her that this mission might be full of dangers, and that the more information she had in her hands to protect herself, the better.

Then she asked, "What the hell is that?" ”

"If you really care so much, just come with me to see it." Chu Hantian seemed to be a little impatient to ask her, and waved his hand, "Anyway, it's not far from here, do you want to go?" ”

The girl nodded. The two of them left their coffins with the lid blown up, left alone, one after the other and disappeared into the darkness of the woods.

*

The moonlight is unknown, the mountains are dark, and the shade of the trees along the way is like a ghost, the girl followed behind Chu Hantian, her hanging hand slowly clenched, and she paid attention to her surroundings vigilantly and quietly all the way, and the call of the forest birds in the distance echoed with her slow and trembling breathing.

"Do you know that walking on such a mountain road is most likely to encounter ghosts hitting the wall?"

Chu Hantian suddenly spoke slowly, and the girl was shocked, always feeling that Chu Hantian seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know why.

"Don't you notice that the scenery around here seems familiar? It is said that if you walk among the ghosts, you will be dragged away by the ghosts, and even the people who walk with you may not be human at some point......"

He turned around suddenly, and a big face came to the girl's eyes. The girl gasped and jumped back, and she was already holding three short chopsticks in her hand, but she immediately heard Chu Hantian laughing.

"I was just guessing if you were afraid of ghosts, but I didn't expect the owner of the Floating Garden to be afraid of ghosts!!" Chu Hantian's laughter shook the sky, and he could roll to the ground in the next moment.

Telling him to shut up no longer worked, so the girl pinched off one of her chopsticks and stood there waiting for him to recover.

Chu Hantian laughed enough, straightened up, looked at the girl, and said seriously: "You are obviously regarded as a ghost by the world, why are you still afraid of ghosts?" ”

The corners of the girl's mouth twitched slightly, and her fingers stiffened into fists. She took a step back quietly, as if trying to get as far away as possible from the person in front of her.

Seeing that the girl didn't react, Chu Hantian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the girl's eyes rather bored. Her fingertips picked at the girl's hanging sideburns, and she hurriedly reached out to block it.

Chu Hantian's eyes widened, "Eh, are you angry?" Wouldn't you, you weren't angry when you should have been angry before, but you ended up angry in such a small place? ”

Miss Delicious just turned her face sideways and said indifferently: "I'm just a ghost in the eyes of the world, and it's not worth Chu Shaoxia's concern if I'm angry or not." ”

Chu Hantian didn't say anything, just turned around and continued in the direction he had before. The girl still followed him, but the distance between the two of them had changed from one step away before to one foot away now, and there was a tendency to get farther and farther away.

The two walked silently, and after walking more than ten steps, Chu Hantian's voice sounded high and low in front of them.

"Although you were named a Monster when you were in the Cloud Court before, I guess you didn't like to be called a Monster." After a pause, he said to himself, "Also, no one likes to be called a monster." ”

"You seem to know a lot about Cloud Garden?" The girl's tone was rather cold, as if the question was just to accomplish a task.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Hantian shook his head and replied, "At least what the Central Plains knows, I probably know a little bit about it." ”

Looking at Chu Hantian's back from here, seeing that he was dangling like a harlequin on the stage who made people laugh, Miss Yu seemed to feel better.

"Demons and monsters are nothing more than our self-deprecation. Since it is self-deprecating, it means that it is not a pleasant thing to hear such a title from other people's mouths. ”

"People in the rivers and lakes can't tell whether you are laughing at yourself or not, they will only think that you are claiming to be."

"Yes." The girl's smaller and smaller volume was more like talking to herself, "It's just that we didn't care before." But after coming down the mountain, somehow, it also began to ......"

She raised her eyes to look at Chu Hantian's back, which was a little blurry in the night, and even made her feel in a trance. She suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had gossiped with someone like this.

"Alrightβ€”β€”! This is it! ”

The girl suddenly woke up from her thoughts, and saw Chu Hantian standing next to a mountain col, with a naturally concave earth pit at her feet, which looked dark at the moment.

She looked around, and saw a rather steep hill ahead, no more than a foot or two up, and by the hazy moonlight she could faintly see the half-collapsed wall.

She said, "Here...... Is it behind Yizhuang? ”

Chu Hantian nodded and said, "Isn't this natural." They did not pause along the way, and only when they arrived at Yizhuang did they put down the coffin, leaving only one person, and the rest were gone. There happened to be such a hillside behind me, so I took advantage of the lack of manpower to drop the contents of the bag. ”

He sounded smug and complacent, though the girl didn't quite understand what there was to be proud of.

"And what you're talking about, right here?" The girl took two uncertain steps towards the dark pit, and it seemed that there was indeed something inside, with a few fluorescent dots floating in the darkness.

Chu Hantian took out a fire fold from his body, brushed it and threw it into the pit-

The girl held her breath for a moment, she didn't know if she was frightened, surprised, or a little sad? She slowly wanted to sit down, but Chu Hantian grabbed her by the back collar and lifted her up.

"Don't sit down, if it's poisonous, the toxin must have spread into the dirt here." He seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added, "When I threw it down, I deliberately tore off my clothes to cover my hands." This thing is so wicked, it must be poisonous at first glance......"

Chu Hantian was still muttering something, but the girl couldn't hear it clearly. She shook her head and tried to keep her senses, but her mind couldn't help but remember what Chu Hantian said at the beginning, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and asked, "What did you say...... Something that's hard to describe, that's it? ”

- No, at this time, why are you still struggling with these small details?

It was the corpse of a woman - incomplete, with both arms cut off to shoulder and legs cut off from the base of the thighs, leaving only the upper body. Her belly was cut open and covered with ...... Blue flowers. The flowers glow faintly blue in the night, like dying fireflies, and are not noticeable. The blue flowers grew happily, almost completely covering the cut, and from a distance it looked like a bouquet of flowers on the stomach, which formed a strong contrast with the corpse's iron-blue death aura.

It doesn't matter, Miss Dumpling thought.

It is important that this person she knows.

*

Not long after the girl came down the mountain, and when she didn't even know anyone in the rivers and lakes, she could already hear that several major cases had occurred in the rivers and lakes, which showed the seriousness of these cases.

First, they slaughtered the village together; Later, a total of 16 people were killed before and after the six doors of the investigation of the village slaughter case and the Jianghu knights; The government offered a heavy reward, but was robbed of the official silver, and the Yangwei Dart Bureau, which was responsible for protecting the official bank, felt that his face was gloomy, and he devoted all his strength to track down the dart interceptor, but only the news that the dart interceptor was a woman was spread, and then the whole door was destroyed.

Cases happened one after another, and the girl also changed from an unknown woman in the rivers and lakes to a well-known owner of Lifuyuan.

Yangwei Dart Bureau is the head of the darts in Hexi Province, and it is a big family in the rivers and lakes with Ouyang Villa. The Yangwei Dart Bureau was destroyed, and Ouyang Villa naturally couldn't sit idly by, so he spread the hero's post and discussed the plan to defeat the demon girl who plagued the rivers and lakes. So, there was a girl who listened to Shen Lao Er's boasting in the tea shed.

Others may not know, but Miss Delicious knows. She had no evidence and didn't see it with her own eyes, but she just knew.

The murderer who committed a major crime was one of the maids who had been her siblings on Kunlun Mountain-Yan Ghost.

It is also the mutilated corpse full of strange blue flowers in this ghostly woods now.
