Ping Yan got up, Cai'er hurriedly helped up, and the group walked out with trembling legs.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the courtyard is flickering with light and shadows. In the corner of the courtyard, several people fell to the ground, and they retreated in fear.

Ping Yan glanced at each other and motioned to Li Gui and Wang Qiang to see what was going on, they were like birds with bows, they shrank their shoulders and retreated one by one, pushing each other and not daring to take a step forward.

Cai'er pointed her finger and scolded: "You are all dead!" Didn't you hear the young lady's instructions! I'll tell the young master tomorrow and let him drive you out one by one!" ”

Li Guimian was miserable, but he couldn't lose his family's job, so he had to pull Wang Qiang to trot over, tiptoe to the shadow of the wall, the two leaned down in the moonlight, and looked at what the mass of things lying there was, his head was bent down, and suddenly screamed one after another, and the two of them ran out of the door!

At this time, the gatekeepers present were all panicked.

Ping Yan stepped forward, and Cai'er grabbed her with trepidation, "Miss, don't go, don't go, let's wait for the young master to come back." ”

Ping Yan insisted on leaning forward, but she had no choice but to follow.

The crescent moon showed half a sharp corner, and the silver waves shone right at the base of the wall. Ping Yan squinted and saw clearly, and screamed in fright, Cai'er's face turned pale and she couldn't stop screaming. Ping Yan covered her mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Go pick a lamp." ”

Cai'er nodded stupidly, and hurriedly went to carry the oil lamp.

Ping Yan said: "You come with me and give me light." ”

Cai'er shook her head and begged, "Miss, don't go, I don't dare." ”

Ping Yan no longer forced her, and took care of herself to pick up the lamp and get closer. The lantern is faintly yellow, slowly extending to the root of the wall. I saw a pair of feet, the oil lamp moved up, the clothes on my body were torn by something, the black hole in the chest was a bloody hole, and the intestines, heart and lungs were pulled everywhere. Ping Yan was so frightened that she took half a step back, her forehead was full of cold sweat, and she shone up with an oil lamp in her hand, shining on the miserable white face, still maintaining the state of death before her death, staring at her eyes and opening her mouth, bleeding from her seven orifices.

With a snap, the oil lamp fell to the ground, the flames trembled, and then went out, and the black clouds swam away, suddenly covering the sky.

Everyone was frightened and startled, and the sound of gasping continued.

Ping Yan shouted, "Evergreen! ”

Cai'er frowned, leaned forward to support her as if worried, and lowered her eyes Shi Zai carefully glanced at the man, but he was undoubtedly evergreen, and his death was miserable.

Ping Yan took a few deep breaths and looked at the few people who were the first to find the corpses on the side, "What the hell is going on!" ”

A door crawled over, "Miss, it's a ghost!" It was the ghost who killed him! ”

"What's going on, make it clear!" Her eyes were moist.

"We finished eating and patrolled the yard as usual. Chang Qing said that he saw a girl in white squatting at the base of the wall, we didn't see it, he insisted that he did, and the girl was still crying. "Then he went to look, and we didn't care about him, so we went on, and we heard him scream, and we looked back and saw a white shadow flying out of the wall, and he ...... He was disemboweled...... by the ghost."

He folded his hands and kowtowed to all directions, "Don't look for me, don't come to me, ghost grandma, I'll kowtow to you......"

With tears in her eyes, Ping Yan ordered: "Chang Qing died a miserable death, you pay the money to order a good coffin, and then ask the mage to exorcise evil spirits." ”

When the porters heard that they were going to ask the mage to exorcise evil spirits, they hurriedly rushed to go.

Tossed until midnight, and finally put the corpse into the burial, the blind mage also came, with white beards and green robes, jumping around with a astrolabe dust, chanting words, charms and banners pasted all over the courtyard, and the incense and ashes were everywhere.

Cai'er saw that Ping Yan's eyes were red, and hurriedly said, "Miss, go to sleep, don't be too sad." Evergreen has a spirit in the sky, and he will be grateful to know that the young lady has handled his affairs so thoroughly. ”

Ping Yan nodded, and was about to go back to the house, when she suddenly said: "I have a box of sandalwood, I asked for it in the temple, and the master personally gave it to it, it can ward off evil spirits and protect the courtyard, you come with me to get it, scatter it everywhere." ”

Cai'er said: "Miss has a heart." ”

There was a whistle outside the gate, and Cai'er said happily: "Presumably the young master is here, the young master is righteous in the army, and any ghost can suppress it." ”

Shen Dashao followed, and the lights in the courtyard reflected his figure, and he stopped in the courtyard to watch. Ping Yan was afraid that he would see something, so she ran quickly under Cai'er's arms, threw herself into his arms and cried, "You're finally here, I'm so scared!" ”

He patted her on the back to soothe her, but his cold gaze lingered on Cai'er's face behind her, Cai'er's eyes flashed, as if she had a thousand words. He looked away, lifted Ping Yan's chin, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" What's going on in this yard? ”

Cai'er hurriedly said: "The yard is haunted, and Chang Qing is dead." ”

He raised an eyebrow. Ping Yan hugged him tighter again, and dragged his clothes and didn't let go, "There are ghosts, Changqing died so miserably, so I sent someone to ask the mage to do it overnight to get rid of ghosts and demons." ”

Through the banners, he looked at the coffin that lay on the wall, and stepped up to find out. Ping Yan dragged his hand, tears rolling down, "Don't leave tonight, okay to sleep with me, I'm so scared, don't you go, okay?" ”

Shen Da Shao was thoughtful, if he stayed overnight a few days ago, it would naturally be impossible to ask for it, but Xu Wanqing was there...... She took his hand, her eyes were full of water, and her words were earnest, "Stay, I miss you." ”

He was moved, and he just stopped. The person who has been thinking about it for a long time is right in front of him, how can he be willing to refuse? He stretched out his fingers and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you." Even if it's a ghost, I want him to die again. ”

It's already the fourth watch, and the moon is hanging and the stars are rising. The sandalwood in the Jinqi furnace on the case is still burning, wafting up, and the room is full of strange fragrance. Ping Yan opened her eyes and patted one of the arms on her body, "Yu Zhen, wake up?" Wake up? ”

He was still drowsy and showed no signs of waking up. She smiled coldly, shook off his arm, lifted the curtain and got out of bed, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked lightly to the incense burner.

Plain finger slender, lift the lid of the furnace. She picked up the pot of herbal tea that was left over from the side and poured it in, pouring the water into it, and the spices in the furnace sizzled, and it was extinguished in a short time. She closed the lid, inhaled too much, and felt dizzy, took out a small porcelain bottle with a thin mouth from her pocket, poured out a pill, opened it and swallowed it, and opened her eyes again after a while, Fang Jue's mind was clear.

She climbed the stairs and went downstairs. The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of her footsteps stepping on the soft felt, rustling, like insects crawling again. She went downstairs and into the courtyard, and the wind was moving, and the dark fragrance was still there. The mage lay on the futon and fell asleep, and the porters also fell asleep at will. She stepped forward, wrapped the burned sandalwood ash scattered in the courtyard with a handkerchief, and finally walked to the coffin, arched her fingers and buckled it three times, one long and two short, and the coffin slowly had a rustling sound, the wooden board was oblique, and half of the mouth was pushed out, one hand climbed on the edge of the coffin, and with a strong support, half of Changqing's head came out, tilted his head and made a grimace, "Sister!" ”

Ping Yan smiled: "Come out quickly." ”

Chang Qing jumped out, "It's suffocating me." ”

"Go and carry Xiao Ma out and put it in the coffin."

"Okay." Chang Qing ran to the side of the utility ladder, crumpled the long hair embroidered shoes in white into a ball, and then carried Xiao Ma out and put it on the ground.

Ping Yan spread out the handkerchief and poured half of the incense ash into Chang Qing's hand, "Sprinkle these incense ashes into his nose and mouth, if you don't sprinkle enough for him before, it will be troublesome to wake up in the coffin tomorrow." ”

Chang Qing did so one by one, and finally stuffed him into the coffin, closed the lid, and restored to the same state.

Ping Yan held Chang Qing's hands, stuffed a thick stack of money into him, and advised: "You can't be by my sister's side in the future, but my sister still has something to do with you, you go overnight, use the money to buy a yard in a distant place, and wait for the coffin to be buried early tomorrow morning, and then you hire someone to dig it out and rescue Xiao Ma." I will go to him regularly, and while he is sober, the task of caring for him will be left to you. Remember, don't let him go out, and never let anyone but you find out he's alive. ”

Chang Qing nodded, "Yes, sister, I will take good care of him." ”

Ping Yan had mixed feelings, it was really unbearable to call such a dangerous task to a child, but there was no other way.

Chang Qing saw her uneasiness and sadness, and grinned with sparkling eyes: "Sister don't worry about me, I'm fine, I will definitely be able to complete the task given to me by my sister." ”

Ping Yan clenched his hand and released it again, as if to sueher, "Thank you, Changqing." ”

Chang Qing reluctantly said: "That sister, I'm leaving." ”

"Okay, let's go."

He picked up the cloaked garment and ran out of the door.

Ping Yan inhaled and exhaled, adjusted her breathing, sprinkled the incense ash in the pad into the grass, and turned to go upstairs with a cold look.

It's the fifth watch, the sky is bright, and the clouds are getting white.

Xu Wan sat for a night, heard the sound of the door, and immediately stood up to greet her, but saw that it was Xiyue who came in with a yawn.

She was disappointed and sat back on the couch, her eyes wide open and tears streaming down her eyes.

Xiyue was surprised: "Young grandma, what's wrong with you?" Why did you get up so early? What are you crying about? stepped forward to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and saw that her makeup had not been removed, and her eyes were dark, as if she hadn't slept all night, "Young grandma, you won't wait for the eldest young master all night." ”

Xu Wanqing burst into tears, and the ball of paper in her palm became more and more wrinkled, almost stabbed by her fingernails. A few tears smashed into the paper, seeped into the ink, and swam out a small piece of black, vaguely recognizable as an apricot flower, standing on the branch, slowly pasted away in the tears.
