Last time, in order to find Meng Yinong's fragmented soul, Ding Ermiao and Li Weinian went down to the underworld, but they unexpectedly encountered the old ghost of Lingshan County, the ghost thing called Liu Tianshi.

According to Zhang Chun Zhoucheng, the ghost general of the ghost gate, this old ghost will go to the underworld every three months. So it is estimated that the next time he goes to the underworld will be on February 15 after the year.

Therefore, Ding Ermiao had to make arrangements as soon as possible, go to fight an ambush battle in front of the ghost gate, wait for the rabbit, capture the old ghost alive, and understand the details of the ghost formation in Lingshan County.

"I can't help with the affairs of the underworld. But Liu Bowen's tomb, I will accompany you. I hope that the tomb of Sincerity is the last stop of my tomb robbing career. Gu Qinglan smiled and said:

"Ermiao, Xiaoxiao, take care, I'll take the car back to the mountain city, and we'll meet again after the year!"

"Sister Lan, take care!" Ding Ermiao hugged his fists very well.

Along the way, we have shared weal and woe, and now in the face of separation, Ding Ermiao is really a little reluctant in his heart.

Ji Xiaoxiao also became naughty, learned the appearance of a hero, hugged her fists as her chest, and said in a thick voice: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, we will have a period in the future!" ”

Gu Qinglan smiled, waved her hand, turned around in a dashing manner, walked out of the hotel where she was staying, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the station.

Originally, Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao wanted to send Gu Qinglan to the station, but Gu Qinglan resolutely refused to let them. are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and the picture is this free and easy.

Ding Ermiao thought about it and had to give up. Fortunately, Gu Qinglan is used to walking the rivers and lakes, and she is smart, so Ding Ermiao is not worried that she will have any accidents. It's also reassuring to let her go alone.

It was still morning. Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, left the room, and went to wander the street.

Since you have decided to celebrate the New Year in **, you must always make some New Year's goods. Eating and drinking, you need to prepare a few days' amounts. Closed Door Village, that deserted village, don't expect anyone to sell you something.

If you meet someone who sells something, it's definitely not a person.

Although Qinyang is only a small county town, it is at the end of the year, and it is also full of people, and it is very lively.

The air is filled with the aroma of hygienic incense and the smell of gunpowder from firecrackers. On both sides of the street, there are hawkers' stalls, festive red lanterns and New Year's picture couplets, and a street is placed. The children, who had been on winter vacation, were running around the streets, shouting and screaming.

The prosperous world is peaceful and full of New Year's flavor.

"Ermiao, is the village you mentioned a deserted village?" Ji Xiaoxiao held Ding Ermiao's hand and asked while looking at the New Year's goods.

"On the newspapers and television, they all said that it was a deserted village, and there were no more residents. But the house is still there, and there is no problem with the residents. Ding Ermiao said: "But don't worry, it's okay with me." ”

Ding Ermiao thought that Ji Xiaoxiao was scared, so he comforted her.

Ji Xiaoxiao grinned and said, "I'm not worried, I just want to dress up that village well and make it more festive." ”

Uh......, Ding Ermiao has a black line, and he doesn't know what Ji Xiaoxiao is going to do.

However, Ding Ermiao has always been conniving at Ji Xiaoxiao's nonsense, as long as Ji Xiaoxiao is happy, she doesn't ask any questions about how she plays.

So Ding Ermiao nodded and smiled, and said, "How to dress up, you are in charge, I fully support it." ”

"Okay, then it's up to me, now I'm going on a shopping spree!" Ji Xiaoxiao laughed, holding a bundle of big bills in her hand, and began to sweep the New Year's goods.

For convenience, Ji Xiaoxiao found the largest private store and bought it. And ask the shopkeeper to find a small truck and deliver the goods to himself.

"Don't know where you're going?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Send it to Fengmen Village in Ghost Valley, one hundred and twenty miles away from here, and I'll give you another car money." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"Closed Door Village?" The shopkeeper was taken aback, and then said, "Isn't there no one in that village?" What are you doing there? ”

Ding Ermiao rubbed his nose and said lazily: "That's my hometown, I'm going home for the New Year, can't I?" ”

"Okay, okay, of course." The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, "But the car can't drive in the village, so it can only drive to the foot of the mountain." There are more than 20 miles of mountain roads from Fengmen Village. ”

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and said, "That's okay, you can find me a few strong workers to come over, set off with the car, and then send my things to Fengmen Village." ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, it's the end of the year now, where can I find a few strong workers?" Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year. ”

Ji Xiaoxiao slapped a stack of brick-like bills in her hand on the counter of the store, and said:

"I'll pay 3,000 for shipping to send my things to Fengmen Village! If money can make the devil grind, I don't believe that I can't find anyone. You just say that this business can't be done, if you don't do it, I'll change another one! ”

"Three thousand freight?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and said, "Deal, I'll personally take someone and send you things to Fengmen Village." ”

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled, and then began the real purchase.

There are all kinds of things purchased, eating, wearing, sleeping, and tea, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans. Red candles, red lanterns and firecrackers, fireworks are even more essential.

Spring Festival couplets and New Year's paintings, as well as big red paper and window flower stickers, Ji Xiaoxiao also bought a lot.

In addition, Ji Xiaoxiao also took Ding Ermiao to the largest clothing store in Qinyang and bought two sets of clothes each.

At noon, a small cargo truck was full, and Ji Xiaoxiao was still a little unsatisfied.

After having lunch in Qinyang County, Ding Ermiao Ji Xiaoxiao sat in a van and set off towards Fengmen Village with five strong workers. Pull the New Year's goods cart and lead the way in front.

More than an hour later, at the foot of an unnamed mountain, the car could no longer move forward.

The strong workers began to unload the goods, and bundled them one by one with ropes, and carried them on their shoulders with flat poles, and hiked up the mountain. One of the strong men knows the road and walks in the front.

Ding Ermiao took Ji Xiaoxiao's hand and pressed the formation in the back.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, the path is covered by weeds, and there are even trees to worry about. Although the strong workers have strength, they also have to stop while walking. After walking for more than two hours, I was only halfway there.

During the break, a strong man asked, "They all say that the village is haunted, what are you doing there?" ”

"I lived in Fengmen Village when I was a child, and the ghosts there all knew me, so it's okay." Ding Ermiao continued to talk nonsense and said lazily:

"I think you have to speed up, or when you go back, it's dark, and if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall or something, you won't be able to get out all night."

A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of several strong workers, and they glanced at each other, did not dare to delay any longer, got up and continued to move forward with their burdens.

"Big brother, you said that you are from Fengmen Village, why don't you know the road?" Another strong man, asked as he walked.

"I belong to the eldest who left home when I was a child, and I haven't been back for many years, so of course I don't know the road now. Don't you hear my accent change? I haven't spoken my hometown for many years. Ding Ermiao lied and didn't blush, so he opened his mouth and came.

Going up the hill, over an upper beam, in the valley ahead, a village suddenly appeared.

Standing on Shangliang Mountain, the buildings of the village are all in the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the layout is particularly crowded. The houses are all clustered together. In the distance, you can see a river flowing in front of the village, like a jade belt.

Although it is a deserted village, it does not seem to be very defeated.

Most of the trees in the village are evergreen pines and cypresses, and the green bricks and tiles under the shade of green trees look unique.

"Here we are, that's my village!" Ding Ermiao pointed with his hand and exclaimed.

The strong workers mustered up their spirits, carried their burdens, and hurried towards the village.

Entering the village from the west end of the village, Ding Ermiao looked at the village, most of the houses were still fine. There are even some people's homes with doors and windows.

It's just that the village is uninhabited, the chickens and dogs don't smell, and there is an extraordinary quiet. It's like you've come to another world.

The porters walked in front, Ding Ermiao followed behind, holding Ji Xiaoxiao with one hand and turning iron gall with the other, looking around.

"I said, big brother, that house is your house." A porter couldn't help it and asked.

"In front, still in front." Ding Ermiao pointed casually and continued to look for the house he liked. Walking all the way from the village, Ding Ermiao was not very satisfied with the houses he saw.

Walking to the middle of the village, the door of a house is open, and from the outside, the house is relatively solid and spacious, and the outside is very tidy.

So Ding Ermiao stopped and said, "That's it, this is my home." Everybody brought me in. ”

As he spoke, Ding Ermiao didn't even look at it, and casually pushed open the door of the house.

But as the gate opened, the strong men all shouted, threw down their burdens, turned around and ran!

Ji Xiaoxiao also screamed, pounced on Ding Ermiao and hugged him.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid." Ding Ermiao hurriedly comforted Ji Xiaoxiao while turning her head to look at the family.

After the door was opened, a red lacquered coffin was placed in the door, on two benches.

It turns out that those porters were scared away by this thing. Ji Xiaoxiao was not afraid of ghosts, but she was also afraid of seeing dead people, and she was unprepared just now, so she was startled.

It's strange, how can there be a coffin here? I don't know if there are bones in the coffin.

Ding Ermiao was also stunned for a moment, turned his head to greet the porters, and said, "Hey, do you still want your salary?" ”

When she set off in advance, Ji Xiaoxiao only gave half of the freight. Said okay, after delivery, pay the other half. So now, I still owe the porters a thousand and a half.

The porters stood in the distance and muttered in fright: "I said big brother, there is a coffin parked in your house, and you didn't say a word before?" That's scary! ”

"It's not my family ......, I haven't been back for years, and I admit it." Ding Ermiao coughed dryly twice and said, "My house is still ahead." ”

The porters came back with a look of horror on their faces, put their burdens back on their shoulders, and walked on.

After two or three more houses, Ding Ermiao pushed open the door of another house, looked at it, and then grinned and said, "This is my house, pick things in." ”

The porters put down their burdens angrily, paid the final payment, and left Fengmen Village with a lot of runs.

It was dusk. In the quiet village, only the breathing of Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao was heard.
