"Nope."

Lin Boqin glanced at her coldly, "I'm going here for a day and a night, just to hear first-hand news?" ”

Chu Cheng nodded and replied without thinking: "Yes, I know the news so I can tell Su Yu, he won't be so uncomfortable." ”

Lin Boqin sarcastically said: "You are willing to run." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Cheng didn't kill Zhu Chengye's family ten years ago, he would have felt that she was acting like a murderer.

"I don't care, I'm going anyway, you can't stop me." Chu Cheng simply clasped her arms with both hands, her chin raised high, and she looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Not to mention, this really scared Lin Boqin.

She is known for not listening to discipline and willful, if she racks her brains to run around, Lin Boqin really can't stop her. Now that the county government has limited manpower, he no longer has the energy to mobilize manpower to take care of Chu Cheng.

After a while, he thought: "This is going to Dezhuang Village, I have entrusted Sheng Feng to do it, and I will not go." ”

Chu Cheng was stunned, blinked and said, "If you don't go, you won't go, and it's okay for me to go with Gu Jing." She glanced at Gu Jingtong, who was watching the play at the door, and pursed her lips, "Although he is quite annoying, I can still bear it." ”

When Lin Boqin heard this, he was in a state of distress.

But he was not happy or angry, his face was calm, and he only said coldly: "If you want to go, go away." ”

Chu Cheng didn't know that his mood had changed, and he was quite surprised and said, "Why are you so good at talking today?" If you don't talk about a lot of truths, it's just not like you. ”

"I'm going to rest, please."

"Okay, good night." Chu Cheng happily waved at him and turned to go out.

Lin Boqin tightened his face and slammed the door shut.

Gu Jingtong touched his nose, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Chu Cheng standing at the bottom of the steps and beckoning to him: "Come here." ”

"What does Mrs. Lin have to teach you?" Gu Jingtong put on the usual smiling face.

Chu Cheng saw that he was not so annoying, and asked, "When are we leaving?" How about leaving tomorrow? Gu Jingtong didn't approve very much: "It's not dawning, will it be too early?" ”

"Lives are at stake, and I can't wait to travel at night now." Chu Cheng snorted, "As the Qingyuan County Cheng and the second-in-command in the yamen, do you still want to sleep lazy?" ”

Gu Jingtong was not annoyed, he was already an optimistic and open-minded person, and nodded when he heard this: "What Mrs. Lin said makes sense. ”

"Don't call me Mrs. Lin."

Chu Cheng frowned.

On weekdays, Su Yu and they all call her Mrs., and it's nothing if she doesn't take her husband's surname, this Gu Jingtong is good, and she listens weird to Mrs. Lin.

Gu Jingtong blinked his long and narrow eyes: "Then I can call you Siniang?" ”

"Want face? Siniang is also what you can call? ”

This tone was similar to Ximen Qing hooking up with Pan Jinlian, Chu Cheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and there was a chill.

If it weren't for Gu Jingtong's calm expression, she would probably have doubted Lin Boqin's dating vision.

Gu Jingtong couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then what do you want me to call you?" ”

Chu Cheng glanced at him strangely, and said casually: "Then you should call your aunt and grandmother." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Gu Jingtong was stunned, but after a while, he raised his head and smiled, stroked his palms and said, "Interesting, really interesting." Then he quickly caught up with him, "Auntie, you can wait for me-"

***

Following.

Gu Jing, Chu Cheng and Yang La rushed to Dezhuang Village.

On the way, I passed the black inn where the second sister of Chun was located, and the last time there was a fire, only a few door panels were left in the inn, but this time, I don't know who dug one big pit after another at the bottom of the inn.

Chu Cheng stretched her neck to look, but Yang La was driving too fast, and she didn't see anything.

Gu Jingtong sat across from her.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but look back and asked, "Last time you and Peizhi met Second Sister Chun here?" ”

Chu Cheng bowed: "It can be described as nine deaths and one life." ”

Gu Jingtong became interested, brushed the ground and unfolded the folding fan, and asked, "Let's hear it." ”

Chu Cheng pointed to the folding fan in his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

Gu Jingtong smiled and handed her the folding fan: "Okay, you fan you, I'll be fine when I'm hot." You are a woman, delicate and frail, but don't catch the heat cold. ”

"I'm not going to be fooled by you." Chu Ji snatched the fan and fanned it to herself, "Anyway, the wind was beautiful that day, and the sky was clear, so Lin Boqin and Yang La and I stayed in this deserted inn......"

"Stop."

Gu Jingtong asked: "Isn't it night, why is the sky still clear?" ”

“……”

Chu Cheng couldn't find the words, so she simply glared at him: "Do you still listen?" ”

"Listen, listen." Gu Jingtong held back a smile, "The wind and the sun are clear in the middle of the night, you guys checked into this inn, and then what?" ”

Chu Cheng snorted and started from the beginning. It's just that she omitted some embarrassing little things that happened that day, and only talked about Lin Boqin. Speaking of the second sister of Nachun who had to drag Lin Boqin to bed, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You don't know, the second sister of Nachun can't wait to strip Lin Boqin naked, one Lin Gongzi, very charming." Lin Boqin's face was black all the time, like that, like a little daughter-in-law who was forced to become a prostitute! It's ridiculous! ”

Gu Jingtong imagined that scene for a moment, and also slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Peizhi is a serious person, full of poetry and books, and conformist, I'm afraid that day will scare him enough."

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and a smile froze on her lips.

Lin Boqin was actually not timid that night, in addition to being ashamed, he had been caring about Yang La, Li Zhongyi and others, and had been protecting her, for fear that she would be humiliated by those thieves.

…… Now that I think about it, it's quite stylish.

Chu Ji thought of the scene where she went to coax Lin Boqin again, and inexplicably, the corners of her mouth curved again.

Gu Jingtong saw that she suddenly stopped talking and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Cheng sighed: "Not much." She looked at the folding fan in her hand, the bamboo fan bone has been touched very bright, some pulp, at first glance, it is often held in the hand to play, the fan is not written on the common "quiet and far-reaching", but "contentment and happiness", which is very appropriate for Gu Jingtong's temperament.

She closed the fan and raised her hand to throw it to Gu Jingtong.

Gu Jingtong was stunned: "It's so hot, why don't you fan?" ”

"You care about me."

Chu Cheng simply lifted the curtain and sat on the wheel to chat with Yang La.

Gu Jingtong sat in the carriage and sighed secretly, and said in his heart, this Li Siniang always thinks that Lin Boqin is turning her face like turning a book, but she doesn't know that she is also so virtuous.

Because I was in a hurry, I arrived at Dezhuang Village earlier than scheduled.

At this time, the night has just fallen, the frogs in the farmland are singing, the evening breeze is fragrant, and many houses are lit up.

The arrival of the three of them caused the village dogs to bark.

Muramasa lived at the entrance of the village, and he listened to the fierce barking of the dog, so he hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and walked out. Yang La took out his waist card and explained, and the village was busy greeting him, saying, "Meet your lord, the old man Zhang you are looking for lives next door to my house." ”

"Trouble leads the way." Gu Jingtong raised his hand.

Muramasa was a little embarrassed at this time, he frowned and said, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that this old man speaks upside down, and everyone thinks he's not normal here." As he spoke, Muramasa pointed to his temple.

Gu Jingtong said: "It's okay, you take us over first." ”

A low thatched house next to the village is the residence of the old man Zhang. He has no children or daughters under his knees, and usually relies on the well-wishers in the village to help.

The door of the thatched house was a rough fence, and the village was shouting a few times outside the old man, but there was no movement in the house.

The village was holding a candle and pushed the door in, and everyone followed, but they saw that the house was pitch black. Gu Jingtong frowned, and was wondering where this old man had gone, when he suddenly turned his head to the side, and saw a pair of cold and cloudy eyes in the darkness on the left side, staring at him for a moment, stagnant like a dead man.

Gu Jingtong was startled, took two steps back, and accidentally stepped on Chu Hui's foot. Chu Ji hugged her feet and jumped up: "Gu Jingtong, don't you have long eyes?" ”

Yang La also saw Old Man Zhang, he was terrified, and raised his hand to point: "There." ”

Mura Zheng squeezed forward with a candle, as if he had become accustomed to it, he frowned and said, "Old man Zhang, who are you sitting here to scare if you don't sleep at night?" You ......" Gu Jingtong grabbed Mura Zheng's arm and signaled him not to blame.

He stepped forward, looked at the eighty-year-old cane in front of him, and asked, "Elder Zhang, I want to ask you about the case of Zhu Chengye's family ten years ago. Did you witness anything on the night of the fire? ”

Old man Zhang was motionless, but when he heard the words "Zhu Chengye", he suddenly let out an "ah", vigorously leaning on crutches, and his face full of age spots was distorted because of excitement: "Ghost...... Ghost Baby! The ghost baby crawled out of the ghost belly and killed people...... Kill and find a stand-in! ”

Gu Jingtong and Yang La hurriedly pressed his shoulders and comforted: "Elder Zhang! Calm down and speak slowly! ”

Old man Zhang saw Gu Jingtong's face, and gradually calmed down, his dry hands like chicken claws trembled slightly, and he gestured indiscriminately in the air, and said intermittently: "Zhu Chengye's daughter died in childbirth, and she was sent back to Shiliwan...... Stop! Open the lid of the coffin, and wow! That belly is so high, it's a big belly...... It's like I'm pregnant with twins...... Ah no, triplets! ”

Chu Cheng was stunned when she heard this, she looked at Gu Jingtong, obviously Gu Jingtong and she thought of the same point.

The two did not communicate, but listened to Old Man Zhang continue.

"One is blind, two thin, and one is fat...... As soon as he put the coffin down, he ran away, and he didn't even say anything to Zhu Chengye...... And then, and then it's haunted! ”

Old man Zhang stared straight at a family opposite.

The house was busy with the lights on, and the black figure was reflected in the window paper, which was very clear.

Old man Zhang raised his arm tremblingly and pointed to the opposite side: "I carried firewood and passed by Zhu's house...... Just in sight...... In the house where the soul is stopped, a ghost baby comes out of the belly of a woman who died in childbirth...... When the ghost baby came out, the woman's stomach deflated......" Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Jingtong in horror, "Then the Zhu family was all burned to death by a fire." Faintly, I also heard Zhu Chengye's screams...... He screamed...... He said, 'Spare your life, spare your life,' but she still died. ”

A gust of night wind blew, the shadows of the trees swayed, the wind was thin, and everyone suddenly felt a little cold.

Gu Jingtong frowned: "And then?" ”

"Then I got seriously ill and I ...... I was afraid of ghosts, so I moved away...... Moved. Old man Zhang replied with trembling lips.

Mura Zheng protected the flickering candle flame and said angrily: "Old man Zhang, you have told this ghost story back and forth countless times, can you change something new?" He turned his head to Gu Jingtong and Chu Cheng and said, "This old man is usually quite normal, he eats, drinks and lazar, and sometimes sweeps the floor and washes the dishes." But every time I tell this ghost baby story, I don't know what he wants. ”

Chu Cheng looked around at the thatched hut.

Small, but neat.

At least it proves that Old Man Zhang is not delirious.

She looked at Gu Jingtong and hesitated: "Maybe he doesn't want anything, he just tells the truth." ”
