Mo Fan turned to look at the screaming horse behind him, his brows furrowed slightly.

I didn't expect that there were people who walked at night like him, looking at the direction and walking with him, but I didn't know if it was from that village or that town.

Because of the road to the north of Scarlet Cloud City, there are three large towns and dozens of small villages.

"Appeal ......"

Looking at the horse with its front hooves raised and screaming, Zhang Dong hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and then came to the horse, bent his legs and sank, and stabilized the frightened horse with all his strength with the shoulder rope.

"Ah......h

The frightened horse was no longer alarmed, but the young lady in the carriage was still screaming out of fear.

"Miss, miss, you're fine." After stabilizing the horse, Zhang Dong hurriedly came to the front of the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the young lady who was hugging her head and shrunk in a corner, and asked nervously.

Hearing Zhang Dong's voice, the young lady who hugged her head and screamed stopped screaming.

Mo Fan squinted, looked at the frightened carriage behind him by the moonlight, hesitated for a few seconds, and planned to go over and take a look.

So he walked over.

"It's okay for the two of you," came to the carriage, bending down to pick up the red paper lantern that might have fallen to the ground just now because the horse was frightened, Mo Fan asked Zhang Dong and the young lady with a kind smile.

"I didn't ...... It's okay," looking at the stranger who suddenly appeared behind him, Zhang Dong and the young lady were startled.

However, under the illumination of the red paper lantern, the two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw clearly that the stranger who appeared behind them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

After some introductions to each other, the two sides also became acquainted.

It turned out that the two were from Xixiang Town, and their relationship was that of master and servant, the honest old man who drove the car was called Zhang Dong, and the female was called Wu Zhixuan, who was the daughter of a big family in Xixiang Town.

Wu Zhixuan was originally a teacher in Scarlet Cloud City, but because her father suddenly fell ill, she came out of Scarlet Cloud City despite the darkness and rushed back towards Xixiang Town.

However, for some unknown reason, the horse that happened to be driving was suddenly frightened.

This is the scene that Mo Fan watched.

However, when the two of them listened to Mo Fan's introduction, they showed surprise.

The soul temple eighty miles north of Scarlet Cloud City, people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns have heard rumors, saying that where it is haunted, no one who goes to garrison can survive.

In the past few years, twelve temple attendants have died, and people originally thought that Scarlet Cloud City would not send people, who would have thought that they would actually meet one of them in this dark night, and it was a young boy.

With a kind heart, Zhang Dong and Wu Zhixuan reminded Mo Fan a few words, if he could leave the Soul Temple, let him leave as soon as possible.

For the kindness of the two, Mo Fan just nodded.

After that, the two sides chatted a few more words, and when the horse pulling the cart fully recovered from the fright, at the invitation of the other party, Mo Fan gave up his plan to go on foot.

Instead, he sat at the other end of the carriage and helped carry a paper lantern to illuminate it.

Drive!

As the reins in Zhang Dong's hand hit the horse's buttocks, the wheels turned, and the carriage started again.

The night was long, and under the moonlight with clouds, on the path leading to Xixiang Town, horse-drawn carriages swept over the sparse trees on both sides and the green sprout fields from time to time.

Mo Fan and Zhang Dong, who were sitting on both sides of the carriage, chatted with each other.

However, after the carriage had traveled more than ten miles, the horse pulling the carriage was suddenly startled again, and in the night, I saw a woman in her forties suddenly appear on the road and stretched out her hand to stop the carriage.

Asked if you could give her a ride.

Seeing this middle-aged woman, Mo Fan frowned deeply, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

I wanted to ask a few words, but when I thought that the carriage was not his, I didn't bother with it.

He didn't ask, but Zhang Dong on the side opened his mouth to ask.

"That village, what's it called, how can you rush to the night alone."

Hearing Zhang Dong's inquiry, the middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, "My name is Wang Tianhua, I am from Woniu Village, I went to Scarlet Cloud City this morning to buy something, but because I had no money to spend the night in the city, I had to rush home overnight." ”

"Oh," after hearing the middle-aged woman's answer, Zhang Dong opened the curtain of the carriage and talked to Wu Zhixuan for a few words.

Then he invited a middle-aged woman into the carriage and sat with Wu Zhixuan.

Then the carriage was back on the move.

Listening to the voices of the two women in the carriage behind him, Mo Fan didn't know why, he always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, a bright moon pierced through the dark clouds, looking at the shadow left on the ground by the horses pulling the cart.

Mo Fan's expression changed greatly, because he remembered that when the middle-aged woman got into the car just now, under the red paper lantern,

He didn't seem to see her in the shadow.
