The look of a person's fear is a tremor that emanates from the bottom of his heart. The shopkeeper who was forced by Xie Ling to say something was like this at this time.

As soon as Xie Ling raised his head, the moment his eyes met, it seemed that even his hair was in fear.

The shopkeeper's eyes were full of horror and continued, "We rested for about a stick of incense, and the shopkeeper said that he was leaving. But when we stood up and tried to go back to carry you, we found that you had already sat up, and your eyes were blood-red, staring straight at us. ”

"The two of us looked at you like that and I was furious, no one has ever seen this scene, it was like a corpse, I turned around and wanted to run, but the shopkeeper grabbed me hard, and said that you are drunk. You say I'm not stupid, no matter how drunk and crazy I am, I can't be like that. But the shopkeeper forced me with a knife in his hand, and I had to obey again, so I had to go up. ”

He paused, "I went up and planned to pull you up according to the shopkeeper's request, and the distance between the two of us was only very short, so you made an even more strange gesture at me." ”

"What?"

Xie Ling couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she couldn't remember the events of that night, but after the description of the shopkeeper, she vaguely remembered something, and only felt that this matter must not be so simple, there must be something waiting for her.

It's like fate, and you can't escape.

"I didn't lie to you, I walked over and was just about to lift you up, you stared at me with blood-red eyes, and your body turned into a weird shape and smiled at me, yes is laughing."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper seemed to be able to feel the strange scene of that night, and his heart still palpitated, and even his voice became much quieter.

His body stepped back a little unconsciously.

"Your laughter is horrible, like the cry of a night owl in the middle of the night, the laughter of a ghost. I wanted to run, I didn't do anything I wanted to give me as much as I wanted, but the shopkeeper forced me with a knife, and the knife was on my neck, and I already felt the cold coldness, and the shopkeeper told me that as long as I gave you a stick to knock you out, you wouldn't be like this, you are lying to us. I thought too, so I walked over, I used a lot of strength to that stick, even a beast is estimated to be finished at this time, but you didn't, you sat up safely, and continued to look at me and laugh. ”

He paused and took a deep breath, "The shopkeeper was also scared when he looked at this, and then he was about to go over with a knife and plan to fight with you, but no one expected that you would actually speak at this time, and you said that you would never let him go." ”

When the shopkeeper said this, the fear in his eyes seemed to have reached its peak, and he dared to glance at Xie Ling just now, but at this time he just buried his head deep between his legs.

"Your voice becomes a man's voice, which you can't pretend to be yourself, which is the tone of a man's voice. I was about to collapse, regardless of pushing away the shopkeeper and running out, the shopkeeper was afraid that he had already thought about it, he ran out after me, and grabbed my arm tightly, but we only ran two steps, and we couldn't run down, you don't know when you got up, tightly grasping the shopkeeper's clothes, a face was white and scary, the corners of the mouth were still smiling, and the mouth was open as if to say, return my life. ”

"We fainted, and when we woke up, it was daylight, and the shopkeeper was next to me, and you were long gone. When I woke up the shopkeeper, I felt that something was wrong, the place where we woke up was not the place where we fainted, it was a barren mountain, and there was a hole in it, where we disposed of the corpse. ”

The two of us ran back to the inn in a fit of fright, only to find out that two days had passed, and we had slept there for two days and two nights. Since the day I was beaten, I have had nightmares, always dreaming that you are coming back for revenge. The shopkeeper even pasted the charms he got in Qingyun Temple all over the bedside before going to bed every day. After a few days of fear, you never came back, and we slowly got better again. ”

"Treat the events of that night as a dream, and only then can you continue to live. Otherwise, sooner or later, fear will consume us. ”

The matter shop Xiaoer said about the same, and he didn't dare to lie when he saw that situation. Those fears are also real.

However, Xie Ling still has important things to explain, "Are you afraid of me?" She suddenly leaned down and asked.

The shopkeeper was frightened by this sudden blow, and sat back tremblingly, looking at his appearance, he knew that he was scared without answering.

So, after the shopkeeper settled down, Xie Ling said slowly, "When Lord Gu asked you, what should you say and what you shouldn't say, but you have thought it through?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, "I think clearly, I know what I can say about you." ”

The shopkeeper, who deals with people all day long, knows what Xie Ling means, in fact, even if she doesn't explain, he will avoid the important and say lightly, after all, that kind of thing is too unbelievable, and it is estimated that the adults will not believe it, and they will give him an aggravated crime, wouldn't it be more than worth the loss.

"Okay, then I have a question about why there are so many children's corpses in that hole of yours."

The shopkeeper shook his head, "I don't touch these children's affairs, I just manage women's business, and the children's affairs are all in charge of several other people, we do things separately, and we never come into contact, but I heard from the shopkeeper that those were stolen and robbed and were beaten to death without disobedience or starvation without eating, drinking, or starving." ”

"And what are you doing with those kids? Also buying and selling? ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "Yes, the market for buying and selling children is bigger than the market for buying and selling women, most of the children are sold to families without children, some big families can't have children, they will buy one to raise, and some of them specialize in selecting goods for the theft gang, and some little girls will sell them directly to others as child daughters-in-law." ”

"Bastard." I kicked the shopkeeper, "What about you, why don't you go in?" ”

The shopkeeper stepped back again, "The requirements for buying and selling children are stricter than those for buying and selling women, and I can't get in yet, I heard that those who can enter have been strictly vetted, and I'm not qualified enough." ”

Xie Ling wanted to ask something more, but the sound of horses barking sounded outside, it was Gu Changqing who came back with someone.

As soon as he came in, he asked if Jiancheng had come back, Xie Ling shook his head. So he sent some men to meet them.

About half an hour later, Jiancheng came back with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was covered in mud, and the whole person looked dirty, especially his eyes, which looked at everyone blankly.

Jiancheng said, "This was the case when I found him, I guess he was crazy, he was in the stable and fighting the horses for food." ”

As soon as Jiancheng said this, some people couldn't stand it and covered their noses and didn't want to smell him, Gu Changqing asked, "Then what did he say?" ”

Jiancheng nodded, "When he found him, he kept talking nonsense, and he kept saying that there were ghosts and ghosts." ”

Speaking of ghosts, Jiancheng glanced at Xie Ling secretly and continued, "He also said that he just did what he was told, and if he came back to take revenge, don't look for him, he doesn't know anything." ”

Xie Ling actually already knew about it on the side, what the shopkeeper said should be true, and what happened to him that night was probably true, so they were so scared when she reappeared here.
