When the Xingjia was beautiful in those years, it was said that the courtyard was like a city, and the grass and trees were flat, but it was never an exaggeration, and now the Xingjia was down, although the house had not changed, it was still magnificent, but the depressed and long grass and trees in front of the door made people's hearts feel a little melancholy and melancholy.

Feng snorted coldly, the hearts of people in this world are bleak, it is really cold.

Si Ying didn't know what she was thinking, she picked up the stairs at the end of her robe, the red lacquer door of the Xingjia family was a little mottled, and the patina knocker was also mildew, Si Ying raised her hand and knocked on the knocker, and after a while, the door creaked and was slowly opened, revealing an old man with gray hair.

The old man was stiff and weak, wearing coarse linen clothes, a weather-beaten face, and two pairs of deep-set eyes, but he looked very nervous, looking at him and wondering: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Si Ying looked at the old man dressed ordinarily, so he thought he was a servant sweeping the floor, and said casually: "Old man, we are looking for your old man Xingbai, and I am tired of going in and reporting it." ”

How do you know that when the old man heard this, he looked at Si Ying and the clothes behind him, and simply opened the red lacquer door wide, and sighed: "You are from the official family, what is the old man is not the old man, the down-and-out people are barely living, where there is some pomp, I am Xingbai, what is the matter to enter the house." ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, Si Ying was shocked, although the Xing family was down, it was not to such a point, and there was not even a housekeeper.

Xingbai seemed to see that Si Ying was puzzled, and said: "The housekeeper is sick, but fortunately, my health is not bad, and I can still do these jobs of opening the door and sweeping the floor." ”

Si Ying couldn't help but be stunned, the Xing family used to be the largest household in the south, it had only been a few years, and it was so much to such a field, Feng Tianxin walked up from behind and patted Si Ying's shoulder, and said: "The people's hearts are weak, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, of course you rich sons can't feel it." ”

Feng poured his heart and no longer paid attention to Si Ying, and walked along the bluestone road with Xingbai to the inner room, this apricot family is very large, the red-walled compound is very wide, there is no small bridge and flowing water, and there is no attractive green pine and cypress, just a very ordinary courtyard, a few courtyard lights, a well, a long corridor, and the main house is turned around the corridor.

Feng Qianxin followed Xingbai into the hall of the main house, and looked back to see that Si Ying had not followed yet.

"I know you're here for Zijin's business."

Xingbai sat on the chair, stretched out his trembling hand to bring himself a cup of herbal tea, and the hot air rushed out of the tea cup and hazy his face.

Feng Qianxin was slightly stunned, raised his eyes and glanced at Xingbai, and said lightly:

"It seems that the old man knows that Xingzijin is dead."

Xingbai put down the teacup, her cloudy eyes were filled with deep sadness at the moment, and said: "Zijin, is my niece and the only inheritor of the Xing family's craftsmanship, I and her father Xingchen are twin brothers, and she is also her only relative in this world, how can I not know if something happened to me, an uncle?" ”

"If you know, why didn't you report it?"

Feng asked rhetorically.

"It's not that you don't report the crime, you don't dare to report the crime, Lord Catcher, don't you know, this apricot family is not so simple in your eyes, I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid that I have already collided with the ghosts and gods, and I will go to hell! First, Zijin was divorced by her husband's family for no reason, and then her head was in a different place, and she couldn't even find her body, and there was a housekeeper, and the housekeeper was a living example! ”

Xingbai mentioned the location, it was like a different person, timid, like a chick about to be eaten in front of the eagle, and her body shrunk up.

Si Ying sighed slightly, still unable to withdraw from the sigh, and then raised her eyes to look at the heart, only to see that her robe disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Si Ying raised his legs and chased after him, but he didn't forget to close the red paint door casually.

At this time, the sunset at dusk was over, the moonlight was coming, the sky was dark and gray, Si Ying couldn't understand why he wanted to choose this hour, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and suddenly felt a cool wind coming.

The lights in the courtyard flickered a few times but were still extinguished by the wind, and Si Ying only felt that it suddenly darkened in front of him.

The courtyard was gray, and suddenly, there seemed to be a very soft voice, faintly echoing in the courtyard.

Si Ying stopped, and instantly beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, don't look at him as a seven-foot man, but his courage is smaller than rapeseed.

Suddenly, there was a rush of water, followed by another slight cry.

"Woo...... "...... "!!

This thin cry made Si Yingxin immediately raise his throat, and his body stiffened in an instant, at this time he regretted closing the door, and even the door to escape was blocked by himself!

Suddenly, a gust of night breeze blew on his face, rolling in a light dust, and a soft sound was entwined in his ears.

Si Ying patted his chest, lowered his throat and eyes slightly, and comforted himself: "It's the wind, the wind." ”

With that, he took out the fire fold from his bosom, took two steps to the nearest garden lamp and lit it, but the light on made him see a scene that he would never forget in his life.

"Butler?" Feng Qian frowned.

Xingbai nodded, and suddenly, he raised his head and stepped in front of her in two steps, grabbed her arm, and said in horror with round eyes: "The housekeeper's daughter is also dead, hanged in the Chunlai Inn, I know, the housekeeper also knows, but he, he also knows, so, can't say!" ”

"So, you know everything throughout."

Measuring the apricot white in front of him, he saw that his face was as pale as dirt at this time, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of horror, this old man, is he pretending?

"Who is he who makes you afraid?"

Xingbai stiffened, her drooping eyelids seemed to jump, and she glanced out nervously, like a frightened bird.

"He's not human, he's ......"

Xingbai didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Si Ying's frightened scream!

"Help!! There are water ghosts......!!!! ”

Si Ying seemed to have forgotten his fear for a moment, and by the light of the garden lamp, he could clearly see that in the well facing him, a black thing was floating.

Suddenly, the black thing burst out, and it turned out to be a head!!

The black messy hair like a well algae covered the whole face, and at this time it was slowly dripping with water droplets, Si Ying's pupils were unconsciously dilated, and he jumped up in shock, shouting: "Help!" There's a water ghost!! ”

Feng Qianxin turned out of the corridor and saw Si Ying slumped on the ground, her body shook and stepped on the corridor on tiptoe, and Xingbai behind her only felt that the figure in front of her was shaking, and the person was already next to Si Ying.

Si Ying didn't faint, he was lying on the ground and closed his eyes just to deceive the ghost, when he heard the sound of something rubbing against the ground, it was slowly coming towards him, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe bigger!

Suddenly the voice was gone, he felt a touch of a woman's fragrance coming into the tip of his nose, someone picked him up, he heard the voice of Qingling calling his name, Si Ying hurriedly opened his eyes, hugged her, and said with a cry: "Pour your heart, there are water ghosts, there are water ghosts at the bottom of the well!" ”

Looking at the man crying in his arms, he really didn't like it, and said impatiently: "What is the big man crying, what do you see?" ”

Si Ying raised her head in her arms, slowly looked at the well, her eyes were straight, and she said to herself again and again: "Well, there is a ghost in the well, he has no eyes, he, he crawled over!" ”

"It's him, it's him, it must be that he's coming back for revenge, he's coming, he's coming!! No one can live! Xingbai suddenly sat down on the corridor, and her old eyes were wide open.

With a tense expression, she straightened up and walked towards the mouth of the well, Si Ying wanted to catch her, but she dodged away, she walked to the well in two steps, and leaned over to look inside.

It's just that it's pitch black in the well, and there's nothing.

Pondering for a moment, he turned around and looked at Xingbai, but suddenly smiled, and when he smiled, it was actually a charming posture, and said: "It seems that this place is indeed not very peaceful, a ghost rumor came to the inn in the spring before January, and there is a ghost in the well today, I'm afraid it will be related, if Uncle Xing doesn't mind, I will live here with Si Zhutou for a few days, maybe I can catch this ghost for you!" ”

There was only a courtyard lamp lit by Si Ying in the courtyard, which made the corridor a little dim, Xingbai got up, leaned on the corridor, his face was hidden in the darkness, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and said half-loudly: "It's okay, now the rice of the two guests is also cooking, and the rice of the four guests is also cooking, but it is just a few more dishes and chopsticks......

Feng Qianxin twisted his good-looking eyebrows because of his words, and wondered: "Who else is staying in the Ling Mansion now?" ”

Before Xingbai could make a sound, a gray robe turned out at the end of the corridor, and then she heard an elegant voice like a spring, but this male voice made her heart fluctuate violently!

"It's a little monk."
