As soon as I took two steps forward, I was stopped by Zhang Heng.

When I saw him again this time, I couldn't help but sweat in my palms.

"Frightened, huh?" He asked me with a smile.

I scratched my head and said, "I was really scared to death at the time, I thought I was going to live in the bureau for the rest of my life." ”

When I spoke, I looked at him quietly, his eyes were gentle, his smile was sincere, and I couldn't see the ruthlessness of kicking the four brothers of the Hong family at that time.

When I said this, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "You can't be so daring, and more frightening things are yet to come." ”

This sentence scared me to tears.

"Let's go." He said: "Find a car to go to Henan County." ”

I followed, hesitantly asked, "Brother Zhang, are the four brothers of the Hong family your hand?" ”

He glanced at me and readily admitted, "Yes." ”

"Why?" I wondered, "Why do you want to kill them when they tell them everything?" ”

Zhang Heng explained: "Just because they have said everything, there is no value for the sixth master to continue to exist, and you can also see that they are the same people as you and me, they can tell us these things today, and they can tell others in the future, and they can solve it early and save trouble in the future." ”

I listened to the chill in my back, four lives, and he said it so lightly.

"But ......"

"Yuan Congcong." Zhang Heng interrupted me in a deep voice and said, "They know that the purpose of creating a family is to kill you, if they don't die, you will die in the future." ”

I opened my mouth for a long time before I said, "I know." ”

He smiled kindly, touched my head, and said, "The bloodiest thing I did in the past was to kill pigs and ducks during the Chinese New Year, so I didn't dare to do it when I first started in the industry." ”

I looked up at him.

He pulled his collar open, pointed to his chest and said, "That's what happened when I didn't dare to do it." ”

I looked at his chest, and there was a finger-long scar on it, and it was terrifying.

I unconsciously touched my chest, and my mind was messing around.

He straightened his clothes and led me forward, "Don't dwell too much on this, when things get to that point, you know how to choose." ”

I hummed, my mind getting more and more confused, and I couldn't figure out what path I was on.

Zhang Heng said that he had to prepare something, so he would send me back to the store first, and come to pick me up tomorrow morning.

Naturally, I had no objections, and I didn't open a store, so I sat on the bed in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Yu Hao sat beside me and lowered his head to ask me.

I grabbed one of his fingers and told him about the four brothers of the Hong family, "I either pity them, or ...... Those were four living people. ”

He sighed, took my hand, comforted me, and said, "I don't know how many people the four brothers of the Hong family have harmed over the years, and now they can be regarded as evil and evil retribution." ”

I leaned on his shoulder and smiled wryly, "Am I being too hypocritical?" Brother Zhang also did it to them, and part of the reason was to protect me. ”

He bowed his head and kissed me on the forehead, and said softly, "Don't think about it." ”

I hummed, and after a while I jerked him away, covering my forehead, "You kiss me secretly." ”

"I'm a pro of Zhengda Guangming." He clasped his hands to his chest, and said quite scoundrelly.

I was angry and ashamed, but looking at that good-looking noble face, I couldn't scold the words, but I felt uncomfortable.

"Congcong, are you there?" Aunt Niu's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

I snorted at him, "I'll settle accounts with you later." ”

After saying that, I escaped out of the compartment, reached out and touched my forehead, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl.

No, I was kissed by a ghost, why should I laugh?

I stretched out my hand and rubbed it on my face, coughed twice, suppressed the inexplicable shyness and joy, and opened the door for Aunt Niu.

She came in with a bag of millet and said, "It's a new harvest from the field, and it's better than buying it outside." ”

I hurriedly took it and thanked Aunt Niu.

She waved her hand, turned around and closed the door, and said, "Actually, your Uncle Niu asked me to come over." ”

"Uncle Niu? He...... Isn't it yet the first seven? I asked, surprised.

Isn't it the first seven days of the dead to go home?

"It was the day I was hospitalized." Aunt Niu said: "At that time, he said that if he couldn't come back, he would let me bring that thing to you." ”

As she spoke, she pulled a notebook from the millet.

I took it and found that the whole book was full of human faces, and each one was not the same.

My heart moved, could it be that these faces were the same as those seven faces, and I could see things in them?

But to my disappointment, I looked at several photos in a row, but I couldn't see anything.

"Auntie, what did Uncle Niu ask me to do with this?" I asked, puzzled.

Aunt Niu shook her head, "I don't know, so he said let me sneak it to you." ”

I frowned, I couldn't figure out why Uncle Niu wanted to give me such a book with a human face.

"From the ......" Aunt Niu said earnestly: "Don't run around like your Uncle Niu, open a store well, and find a suitable partner to marry in two years, which is serious." ”

I knew that Aunt Niu was doing it for my good, so I smiled and nodded, "Hey, I will." ”

The sadness on her face was a little less, and she gossiped with me and left.

I showed the book to Yu Hao, but he didn't see anything from beginning to end.

"Put it away first, maybe it will be useful in the future." He said.

I packed my schoolbag and put it in my bag, packed up the things I needed to go out, and lay down on the bed to get ready for bed.

Who knew that as soon as I lay down, Yu Hao came over and held me in his arms through the quilt.

I pushed it twice and couldn't push it away, so I pretended to be angry and said, "You go away." ”

He reached out and pinched my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

"After being by your side for so long, you should know my purpose." He was rarely serious.

My heart trembled, my eyes glazed over, and I muttered, "Who knows your purpose...... Hmmm......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed his head and kissed me without warning.

I froze all over, staring at him, except for the slight coldness on my mouth, my mind was full of one thought, this is my first kiss!

My mouth was closed, and he was a little dissatisfied, reached out and pinched my nose, and drove straight into the city when I couldn't help but open my mouth to breathe.

His chilling breath filled my mouth and nose, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy.

After a long time, he let go of my jaw, distanced himself from me, and said, "Do you know my purpose now?" ”

I bit my lip, subconsciously shook my head, watched his eyes sink to the ground, and quickly nodded, reaching out to cover his mouth.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "My purpose is you." ”

After saying this, he stood up straight and said in a domineering manner: "Your refusal is useless to me, you must accept me." ”

I couldn't help but pout.

His expression softened, his voice softened, and he said quite understandingly, "I can give you time to adapt." ”

I couldn't help but say, "Thank you so much."

"Yu Hao." I forcibly suppressed the shyness in my heart and tried to say seriously: "People and ghosts are not fun, why don't I find you a beautiful, gentle and virtuous female ghost?" Or burn a few paper figurines for you? ”

He seemed to be smiling, bent down, and said, "Don't play stupid with me." ”

I was afraid that he would kiss me again, so I immediately covered the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep." ”

He was silent for a long time, and said softly, "Sleep." ”

I listened to the quilt for a long time, but there was no movement outside, so I lifted the quilt and looked at it, and he was gone.

I came out of the covers, sighed, and looked at the roof.

touched his conscience and said, if he were alive and confessed to me on his terms, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams, but he was a yin person, and he was still a yin person with a mysterious background.

I am very self-aware, whether it is my face or my ability, it is impossible for him to fall in love at first sight, so he must have his purpose in following me, and that purpose can never be me!

Thinking of this, I smiled wryly and curled up sideways with my arms folded.

In the five years since my parents disappeared, I was so lonely, and when he appeared by my side and showed kindness and care for me, I would unconsciously rely on him.

And he made it clear today that he told me that I had no choice and had to be nice to him.

This person has become a ghost, and he is embarrassed to tell me this.

I sulked for half a night, squinted in the second half of the night, and got up early the next day to wait for Zhang Heng.

At eight o'clock, Zhang Heng drove over and took me directly to the train station and took the train over.

He was embarrassed to explain: "My immortal family doesn't like airplanes, so I can only wronged you to take the train with me." ”

"It's okay, the train is fine." I smiled on my face, but I was even more confused in my heart, and I couldn't understand Zhang Heng anymore, sometimes he was very honest, sometimes he was ruthless.

After getting off the train, we took a taxi to Shanxian County, and when we inquired in Shanxian County, we learned that Miaokeng Village is the most remote village in the county, and there is no shuttle bus, and no one is willing to send us to Miaokeng Village for money.

After asking several people, the last elderly man said, "What are you going to Miaokeng Village if you have nothing to do?" That village was unlucky. ”

Zhang Heng asked, "Uncle, why do you say that?" ”

The uncle replied: "The environment in the mountains over there is good, many people have traveled in the past two years, but every time they go, someone is missing, and they can't find it, and the county has not let people go over in the past two years, and the villagers of Miaokeng Village have also moved out a lot, and now the few families left behind are unwilling to go." ”

Zhang Heng handed the uncle a cigarette, and then asked, "Why is this happening?" ”

The uncle put the cigarette clip on his ear and whispered: "It is said that there are unjust souls in that village, and a few years ago the flood washed away half of the houses in the village, and many people died, and many of them did not find the body. ”

As he spoke, the uncle approached us, "There are still people who see the clay figurines made in the village that can move, do you think this is evil?" ”

I patted my chest and cooperated with the uncle, "Yes, yes, it's really evil." ”

Uncle smashed it and persuaded us: "So you will not go." ”

Zhang Heng and I thanked the uncle, and asked a few more people who were unwilling to go.

I watched from the side, and noticed that there was a middle-aged man on the very side, who had been squatting in front of the car and smoking, this person had a mole in the male and female palaces, or a nose facing the sky, on the one hand, he had a bad life, destined to work hard all his life, and on the other hand, his children and grandchildren were also prone to problems.

I took a few steps forward and saw a picture of the hospital in the back seat.

"Brother Zhang, you go and ask him, the price is high, he may be willing to go." I say.

Zhang Heng nodded and offered him twice the price, the man hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Get in the car." ”

When he was about to arrive at Miaokeng Village, Zhang Heng asked the driver to stop the car, and when he gave him the money, he handed him a peace charm and said, "Brother, thank you so much today, this peace charm is very effective, I sent it to you." ”

The man thanked us again and again, told us that if we used the car when we went back, he called him and he came here to pick us up.

Zhang Heng responded.

When the driver walked away, Zhang Heng looked at me puzzled and explained to me: "That uncle is not wrong, the village is cloudy, and now it is going to be dark, if the driver really sends us to the village, there will be problems on his way back." ”

I know.

When I walked to the village, Zhang Heng also handed me a peace charm.

I took it and quipped, "Brother Zhang, how can you do anything?" ”

"I was a Taoist priest before I became a disciple of the horse." Zhang Heng said.

As I spoke, he and I had already entered the village, I originally thought that this village would be like Yu Yang's hometown, it was a deserted village, who knew that when I came in, except for some houses that had collapsed, the rest of the place was cleaned up very well.

Many of the uninhabited yards are filled with vegetables and crops, and the roads are clean.

We walked to the middle of the village and saw an old lady carrying a hoe coming from the other end.

Seeing us, the old lady immediately sank her face, "You are here to travel again?" We don't allow tours, so let's go. ”

Zhang Heng stepped forward with a smile and said politely: "Mother-in-law, we are not tourists, we are here to buy clay figures." ”

Hearing this, the old lady restrained her anger and asked, "What are you buying clay figurines for?" ”

Zhang Heng said: "My relatives went to sea, and the bones were not found in the first month of the boat accident. ”

I looked at Zhang Heng who was talking nonsense next to me, and I was shocked in my heart, his expression was too sincere.

The mother-in-law turned and pointed to the mountain behind her and said, "The family that made clay figurines moved to the mountain a few years ago, and we have to climb over that mountain, so go and see it." ”

After saying that, he left.

Zhang Heng took me forward, after leaving the village, he took out a piece of red paper from his pocket, held it to his chest, closed his eyes and said a few words, I only felt a yin wind blowing out of the red paper, bringing up the soil on the ground, and blowing it into the village in front of me.

"This is the lonely soul under the mouth of the Xianjiatang, I asked him to go into the village to see the situation." He explained.

We waited for two or three minutes, and suddenly the red paper was blown up by the wind, and when I looked down, I saw a mark on the red paper, which disappeared after a while.

Zhang Heng put away the red paper, turned his head sideways, and frowned slightly, as if someone was talking in his ear.

After a while, he said, "There are no clay figures in the village, so let's go to the other side of the mountain as the old lady said." ”

I tightened my coat, rubbed my arms and said, "Brother Zhang, it's dark today, why don't we stay in the village for one night now and go over tomorrow?" ”

"Hurry up or not late, let's go." He walked briskly.

I had to keep up.

It was cold in the mountains at night, and I didn't have thick clothes, so I followed Zhang Heng tremblingly.

The old lady said that we would reach it after climbing a mountain, but we reached the second half of the night, and we didn't know how many mountains we had climbed and still didn't arrive.

Zhang Heng found a piece of flat land and said, "Sit here first." ”

I couldn't stay up for a long time, so I breathed a sigh of relief, sat down immediately, and took another piece of clothing from my bag and put it on.

Zhang Heng dug a pit in the ground and found some firewood to light it.

When I got to the fire, my body was hot and hot, and I felt alive.

I put the bag across my lap and put my hand in my pocket, thinking about it, and when I touched the thing in my pocket, I made a move and took it out to look at it, and I was taken aback.

There was a stone plaque in his pocket, which was exactly the same material as the one Du Lei held in his hand on the way to the Seven Troubles River.

Touching the back of the stone plaque, there were words, I hurriedly turned the stone plaque over, and it was written: Real people and dummies do not have to be divided, snakes and graves, people in the ground, unlucky and fast.

Like Du Lei's stone plaque, it is also written in traditional Chinese characters.

The first half of the sentence is easy to understand, it means that there is no need to check the fake clay figure, and I also understand the snake grave, but what does the person in this place mean?

There are people living in the ground?

I'm confused.

"Brother Zhang, look at this." I turned around to call Zhang Heng, but when I turned my head, I realized that Zhang Heng was gone.

I hurriedly stood up and shouted anxiously: "Brother Zhang? ”

After shouting for a long time, no one replied to me, I didn't care about thinking about the stone plaque, I stuffed it into my bag indiscriminately, and was just about to turn on the flashlight to find him, when Yu Guang noticed the firewood in the pit and paused suddenly.

The firewood was wet, and the smoke was very heavy, so I could clearly see that the smoke was not rising, but drifting diagonally to the opposite side.

I licked my mouth and cautiously held my flashlight diagonally across the road, the grass on the ground pressed into the shape of a pair of footprints.

I stared at the meadow in a daze, my legs twitching.

Before I could react, I moved the flashlight away, and the two footprints dragged the ground and slowly moved forward.

I leaned back, my teeth chattering, and I knew in my head that I should run, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't move.

The pair of footprints moved to a stop in front of the fire pit and did not move again.

Seeing that the footprints didn't move for a long time, I took a slow breath and carefully removed the flashlight, but when the flashlight flashed over the edge of the fire pit, I blocked my chest in one breath and didn't almost hold back.

Footprints in a circle by the fire pit, one after the other.

And the closest to me, I could clearly see his heels facing the fire pit, his toes pointing at me, that is, five paces away from me, something standing facing me!

I sat on the ground with my legs limp.

The toes walked towards my footprints, snapping and snapping as they stepped over the dead leaves.

I immediately burst into tears of fright, and ran backwards with a rolling belt, and before I could take two steps, a cold hand grabbed my wrist.

"Ahh I screamed in fright, and I closed my eyes and threw around.

"Honestly, it's me." Qingfeng Yin Immortal said impatiently.

I narrowed my eyes and saw Zhang Heng looking at me with a flushed face, with a dark scar on the corner of his right eye.

Is this what I called?

"It's also Yuan Guofu's daughter, so timid." As soon as he spoke, his voice was breezy and immortal.

I exhaled my breath, ignoring his taunts, and sat down on the ground in collapse.

He let go of me and walked slowly.

As soon as he walked forward, the footprints retreated.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at me: "You can't see them?" ”

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said, "I can get the footprints that have been stepped on the grass." ”

He frowned, picked two willow leaves from the tree, took out a small porcelain vase from his pocket, poured two drops of liquid on the willow leaves, and put them on my eyelids.

Pasting willow leaves, I looked at the fire pit again, and I saw a group of pale people standing on the edge of the fire pit, dressed in tatters, with their heads bowed, trembling all over, looking even more frightened than I had just been.

My mother, I saw a group of lonely souls.

The Breeze Yin Immortal took a step forward, and they all took a step back.

I looked at Yin Xian with an angry look, and I thought he would just drive them away, but he went to the edge of the fire pit, added some firewood, threw several wades of paper money into it, and then sat down next to me.

I looked at him stunned.

He raised his eyebrows and said: "They are all lonely souls and wild ghosts on the mountain, and I usually feel distressed when I make every offering." ”

"Oh." I touched my nose and curled up in a ball, I really didn't want to see a bunch of lonely souls snatching food.

"There are many lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on this mountain, you just encountered a ghost hitting the wall, but in fact, you haven't moved forward at all, but you have been walking around the mountain." Qingfeng Yin Immortal said.

It dawned on me that it was.

After saying this, Zhang Heng covered his neck violently, planted it on the ground, and coughed for a while, and when he came to his senses, he explained: "The immortal family saw that the lonely soul on the mountain was pitiful, and on the way up the mountain, I told me to choose a place with the heaviest yin qi and light firewood to burn some paper money for them." ”

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and praised against my will: "Yin Immortal is so kind. ”

Zhang Heng nodded again and again, "Yes, the Immortal Family is indeed kind-hearted. ”

He got up from the ground, took out a bell, and said, "Go, and I'll take you to the clay figurine." ”

I quickly got up and followed him.

Zhang Heng took nine steps and then shook the bell and said loudly: "Don't disturb the ghosts." ”

After walking for a while, I looked back and wondered more and more, why are there so many lonely souls on this mountain?

But whoever has a grave will not be so miserable.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly tripped over, I stumbled under my feet, and when I turned out to be a rotting male corpse with a flashlight, it shouldn't have been dead for a long time, and I could see that he was wearing a pair of underwear.

"Brother Zhang......" I called Zhang Heng in a trembling voice.

He said, "I've seen it a long time ago, don't ask anything now, just follow me."

I wiped my sweat and trotted along.

After walking for about twenty minutes, he stopped ringing the bell, looked down the hill and said, "It's here." ”

I also saw the lights under the mountain.

The two of us walked briskly down the hill, and when we got closer, I was taken aback.

The light turned out to be on the other side of a grave, and there happened to be a snake coiled on the grave, I got close to Zhang Heng, it swooped down the grave, and ran away.

I followed Zhang Heng to the other end of the grave and saw that the grave was actually a disguise, a fake grave covered on the roof.

Beneath the grave is a house built underground, and the house is lit up.

I remembered the words on the stone tablet: The snake pan grave, the people in the earth, are unlucky and leave quickly.

Is that what we are doing?

"Brother Zhang, let's ......" I was just halfway through when the door of the house opened, and an old man came out of it and asked us, "Buy clay figurines?" ”

"Buy." Zhang Heng said.

"Come in." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and went into the house.
