A group of four people walked towards the path at the foot of the mountain, and saw a village not far away, Ji Qingyi helped Xiao Jin to turn back and said to He Qingyi: "You go and have a look." ”

He Qingyun put Xiaobai on the ground, walked to the door of a house, knocked on the door, and said, "Is there anyone?" ”

No one responded, He Qingyun asked again but still did not respond, and just as he was about to turn around and knock on the door of another house, the door was opened a crack. A woman looked at him through the crack, and He Qing hurriedly said: "This sister-in-law is disturbed, we came here from the imperial capital and got lost, I wonder if you can keep a few of us for half a night?" ”

The woman's eyes were full of vigilance and said, "You are still stranded outside so late, and it is not peaceful outside during this time, and I dare not accept you." ”

When He Qingyun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, wait, we still have an injured friend, if you don't rescue it, then my friend will be in danger." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and brought Xiao Jin into the woman's sight. The woman was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, there is no master at home, and I don't dare to take anyone home." ”

Then the door slammed shut. Several people were stunned, and before they could recover their senses, they heard the thatched house not far away open, and an old man came out of it, and the old man waved at them and turned to enter the house. Seeing this, Ji Qingyi hurriedly walked over with Xiao Jin, and He Qingyi took Xiaobai's hand and followed behind.

The old man had already lit the oil lamp when they walked over, and the few of them stood in this room and looked a little crowded, because this thatched house was really too small. The old man coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no stool for you to sit on at home, if you don't dislike it, I will go and get some thatch and pounce on the ground, and you can sit on the thatch until dawn." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside and said, "It looks like it's almost dawn." ”

Ji Qingyi looked at Xiao Jin and said to the old man: "I don't know if you have any herbs at home, can you please take some herbs to stop bleeding, my friend just vomited a little too much blood......

Xiao Jin's face darkened: "I'm not injured, where do you cover me with herbs to stop bleeding?" ”

Ji Qingyi was stunned and said, "Then it will be dangerous if you don't take some measures like this." ”

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll just sleep for a while." ”

As he was saying that, the old man had already brought the thatch, and the old man smiled and said, "The old man has taken off all the thatch on the roof." ”

He Qingyun took it and thanked Lao Suo, who took the thatch and didn't go back to bed to sleep, sat there and looked at Xiao Jin and Xiao Bai and said, "Let this child and this injured go to bed." ”

He Qingyi looked at Xiaobai, who was asleep, nodded, picked him up and put him on the bed, and Ji Qingyi also helped Xiao Jin to lie on the bed.

Seeing this, Lao Su smiled and said, "How many of you are from the imperial capital?" ”

Ji Qingyi nodded: "Exactly." ”

Lao Suo's steps trembled, he walked to the only stool in the room and sat down and said: "Liu Ermao disappeared a few days ago, and every person in charge of the Liu family's daughter-in-law's family naturally didn't dare to let you in." ”

"Missing?" He Qingyun asked.

Ji Qingyi thought for a while and said, "Is it still the matter of the proprietress just now?" ”

When he heard this, he asked, "Which boss lady?" The inn at the foot of the mountain? ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Exactly, we just dealt with that boss lady, and this friend of mine was injured when he fought with her." ”

Lao Su nodded and said: That boss lady is related to the disappearance case in recent days? ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Listen to that woman, she is a nightmare." ”

Lao Suo's face changed: "But the living dead are a demon with white bones and bones? ”

He Qingyan nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, you know?" ”

Lao Suo's face became even worse, and when Ji Qingyi saw this, he said: "That proprietress seems to want to save her sweetheart." ”

Lao Su was stunned and said, "That'...... That's not some hostess, that's my daughter......"

He Qingyun and Ji Qingyi were both shocked, and said in a daze: "Your daughter? ”

Lao Suo sighed, his eyes were cloudy and said: "I won't tell you, Lao Suo's family was originally very solid, in the year when the little girl was twelve, she suddenly clamored to go to a private school, how could a woman go to a private school, Lao Suo invited the little girl to think that Mr. But the little girl is a girl who has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child and has never seen outsiders, so naturally she has never seen any other man except for the people in the family. ”

"This gentleman is a showman, I saw that his literary and moral character is good, so I asked him to teach the little girl of Lao Suo and talk about the book of saints, Mr. looks clear-eyed, the little girl has feelings for this gentleman after getting along with him for a long time, and begged Lao Suo to help her explain to Mr. She was only twelve years old at the time, how could Lao Suo let her get married? So he reprimanded her and dismissed her as a showman. ”

Later, Lao Suo's little girl refused to eat or drink, and went on a hunger strike with me. Lao Suo treats the little girl more lovingly, so he is naturally reluctant to let the little girl be like this, so he agreed to Xiucai's family to teach Lao Suo's little girl again. I don't know what that Xiucai said to her, she didn't mention it later, and then it was the beginning of the matter. ”

"Lao Suo's little daughter has already reached the end of the year, and the reason can be married, so Lao Suo will talk to her about others, and then she told me that if it is not that show, she will not marry. That famous show already has a wife, how can I agree with my little daughter to be someone else's concubine? And he shut her up in his house. But that night she ran away by herself, and she ran to Xiucai's house, Xu was that Xiucai was also a serious person, so he refused her, and Lao Suo went to find her, and she bought a house next to Xiucai's house. Lao Su was very angry at first, but Lao Suo's little girl was forced to die, so I didn't care about her so much, thinking that the teenage child would wait for this time and come back. ”

"But Lao Suo underestimated his little daughter, she lived outside Xiucai's house for two years, at that time she was an old girl at that age before she got married, Lao Suo forced her to go home with me, she cried and told Lao Sue that Xiucai was seriously ill and needed her to match. She said that Xiucai's wife ran away with the money, and Xiucai would die if there was no one to take care of her. ”

"So I gave her some silver, and asked her to go to the Xiucai, but she said that Xiucai would not ask for it, and she had some silver there to buy medicine for him, and I took her back to the house and guarded her strictly, forced her to go on a blind date, and locked her up for ten days.

"Lao Suo went to look for her, but he didn't expect Xiucai to be dead at this time, Lao Suo's little girl looked at her with red eyes, and cried and said: 'I couldn't sleep well in my heart last night and panicked to death, so I couldn't bear it and ran out to see him, but he died one step ahead of me, and only had time to see me for the last time, he must have something to say to me, he must have something to say to me. Father, Chu Lang is dead, and his daughter is willing to die alone. ”

"Lao Suo felt a little guilty in his heart, so he buried Xiucai, and later did not mention the marriage of Lao Suo's little girl, thinking that the family's money was enough to support her for a lifetime, but since Lao Suo's little girl returned home, the family has not been peaceful, there will always be a family Ding said that there are ghosts in the house, and then there is a family Ding mysteriously disappeared, and the family is scattered, and finally only Lao Suo and Lao Suo's little daughter are left."

Later, Lao Suo went to investigate what was going on, and invited people from the government to come, but these people came overnight and were so frightened that they never wanted to come to the house to investigate the case again, Lao Suo didn't see anything different in the house at all, and never saw a ghost in the house, but Lao Suo's little girl was indeed getting more and more haggard, and she was depressed all day long. Since Xiucai's death, she had not spoken a word to me, and when Lao Sue saw that she was not in good health, she went to the best doctor in town, but before the doctor could enter the courtyard, she said, "'Father does not need to ask the doctor to come and see me. ’”

I was stunned, and just about to ask her how she knew that I had hired a doctor, she smiled, and that smile was not like the coldness of a young woman, and she said, "'Father, I did everything in the house. I was so shocked by her words that I didn't know what to say, she looked at me and just disappeared before my eyes. ”

"Later, I scattered all my family wealth to find Lao Suo's little girl, but some people only said that they had met once in Chaoyang County, and I didn't know where I would go in the future. Later, with some news, I learned what happened to Lao Suo's little girl. She was accepted by the mother of the Nightmare Palace to be a nightmare demon, her appearance can be evergreen, and her heart and blood can live the flesh and bones of the dead, but she does not enter the reincarnation path after death, which means that as long as she dies, her soul is scattered. ”

Ji Qingyi was taken aback and asked, "There is such a thing in the world that cannot be explained by science?" ”

He Qingyun touched her and said: "Maybe it's just an illusion, how can someone really be evergreen, maybe practicing this method is against the way of heaven, so it will damage the blessings of the next life." ”

Lao Su glanced at him, and then said: "Maybe that's the case, the proprietress at the foot of the mountain has long since died, and the current proprietress is Lao Suo's little daughter, I saw her the day she first came here, and the demon can be transformed into a very beautiful woman, but this look can't be changed, I didn't know why she came here at first, but now I think I know." ”

Lao Su paused and sighed: "I thought I was coming to see me, but I didn't expect it to be for those harmful things." ”

Ji Qingyi looked at the old man very lonely, and said: "Everything in this world is determined, your little daughter may have such a destiny, she has her own way of living, and she can't complain about you and others." ”

She paused and said, "It's common sense that you can't ask for it." ”
