"The child has no mother, it's a long story!" , It seems that no one has chatted with him for a long time, Zhao Shusheng recalled it and opened the conversation.

"It was when I was twenty-eight years old, and one day I was chopping wood in the mountains, and I happened to meet two ruffians who were surrounding a girl who wanted to do wrong, so I went up to teach them a lesson and beat them away.

When I asked, I found out that the girl's name was Yu Feiyan, and her family lived in the strange-looking mansion at the foot of Tianquan Mountain, and I was afraid that she would meet bad people again, so I escorted her home. After sending her home, I learned that the owner of the strange house was named Yu Tianji, his wife died of excessive postpartum bleeding after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Yu Feiyan was his youngest daughter, and he also had an eldest daughter named Yu Feihong. ”

"A weird-looking house? What's the weird method? Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly.

"I can't tell, but it's weird!"

Zhao Shusheng continued: "Then Yu Tianji gave me this pair of gauntlets in order to thank me for saving his daughter, and learned that I was a martial artist.

After that, I went to Yu Tianji's home every now and then as a guest, and slowly we became good friends, and I learned that Yu Tianji turned out to be a skilled craftsman, an ancestral craft, specializing in creating some strange things, such as hidden weapons, strange-looking blades, etc., the house he lived in was also designed by himself, and the rivers and lakes also gave him a nickname, called Ghost Hand Yu. ”

"Ghost Hand Yu?" , Nie Xiaohu repeated.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Shusheng nodded and continued: "Yu Tianji is three years older than me, so I will call him Brother Yu, and later, alas! Zhao Shusheng couldn't help but sigh.

"What happened next?" , Nie Xiaohu has already developed a strong interest in the story told by Zhao Shusheng.

"This is really in response to the old saying, called 'Blessing is unparalleled, and disaster is not a single line'! That is, ten years ago, Brother Yu's eldest daughter Yu Feihong argued with him for some reason, and then it was out of control, and finally the father and daughter turned their faces, Yu Feihong married to Lingshui Village in a fit of anger, and vowed never to come back, and it is true that Yu Feihong has never come back since he got married.

After the eldest daughter got married, the eldest brother was depressed, one day he climbed the mountain to relax, but accidentally fell down the mountain, although he found it early, after the doctor's full treatment, his life was finally saved, but he fell into a half-body paralysis, he could only lie on the bed, and he couldn't even sit up! ”

Zhao Shusheng said this, the corners of his eyes were moist, and his voice became choked, and after wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhao Shusheng continued: "Only his youngest daughter Yu Feiyan is left in his house to take care of him, and I often take time to visit his home.

In the second year after the eldest brother was injured, he passed away, and his youngest daughter Yu Feiyan was also overly sad, vowing not to marry for life, and guarding the spiritual position of the eldest brother at home, it has been a full eight years! ”

After speaking, Zhao Shusheng let out another long sigh, and the whole person instantly relaxed, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden.

The story told by Zhao Shusheng was tactful and desolate, and Nie Xiaohu and the others were embarrassed when they heard it.

"Then where is Yu Tianji's home? I want to go and see it, and pay homage to this strange man by the way", Nie Xiaohu said with regret.

"In addition to the village to the north, it is at the foot of the mountain, not far away, there is a family nearby, it is easy to find", Zhao Shusheng pointed to the north.

"Thank you, old man, farewell!" , Nie Xiaohu hugged his fist at Zhao Shusheng, turned around and left.

After leaving Tianquan Village to the north, Nie Xiaohu and others found Yu Tianji's home.

From the outside, it looks like a very strange building, the whole house is made of regular stones, the gaps between the stones are plastered with dust, the shape is rectangular, two-storey, and it sits on a high stone platform, and a row of stone steps lead to the courtyard gate in front of the tall wooden door.

The yard is large, half a meter high fence wall, the house is located in the center, surrounded by flowers and plants, a middle-aged man is mruning flowers and plants in the yard at this time, looking like a gardener.

The north side of the house is Tianquan Mountain, a waterfall on the mountain pours down, falls into the waterhole under the mountain, the waterhole is about 50 meters away from the yard, the east side of the yard is not far from a small river, the small river stretches to the southeast direction, the west side of the yard is a small piece of dense bamboo forest, the courtyard gate rushes to the south, a small road leads directly to the avenue outside Tianquan Village.

"What a secluded place!" , Nie Xiaohu sighed.

"Just by looking at this courtyard, you know that there must be a hermit master living here!"

Cao Xiaohui nodded and said, "It's just that this house looks weird." ”

"Since it's weird, it must have its use, don't forget that his nickname is 'Ghost Hand'!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Hmm", Cao Xiaohui nodded thoughtfully.

"Anyone?" , Nie Xiaohu stood in front of the courtyard gate and shouted loudly.

Hearing Nie Xiaohu's shout, the middle-aged man who was working in the yard stopped what he was doing, stood up straight and looked at Nie Xiaohu and the others, and after seeing a middle-aged woman coming out of the gate, he bent down and continued to trim the flowers and plants.

Seeing that it was several people wearing fast trapping uniforms standing at the gate of the courtyard, the woman hurriedly descended the steps, came to the courtyard gate, and opened the door.

"I've seen a few officials", the middle-aged woman bowed slightly and said a thousand blessings.

"Dare to ask the eldest sister's name?" , Nie Xiaohu said with his fists clenched.

"Slave Yu Feiyan, a few officials, I don't know what you have to do here?" , Yu Feiyan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, that's the case, in Xia Nie Xiaohu, is the head catcher of the southern district of Luoyang City, today we are passing by here, and we have heard the name of the 'ghost hand' in the predecessors for a long time, and I only hate not to see it, so I want to come to worship the predecessors, I don't know if it can be convenient?"

"Oh, that's... Then please come in! Yu Feiyan hesitated slightly, and then flashed to the side.

"Thank you!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled and nodded, and stepped into the courtyard.

"My lord, please come with me", Yu Feiyan nodded slightly, and led the way up the steps first, followed by Nie Xiaohu and others.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a spacious and bright living room, the living room is simply and quaintly furnished, the windows on the walls on both sides are open, the sunlight is sprinkled throughout the living room, there is a screen in the middle and back position, there are two chairs in front of the screen, between the chairs is a small square table, a set of tea sets are placed on the table, the first two rows of wooden chairs, four on each side, and a thick blanket is spread on the ground, although it looks a little out of color, but it is very clean.

Bypassing the screen, a dark corridor appeared in front of Nie Xiaohu's eyes, a tall wooden door was closed at the end, the floor of the corridor was also covered with carpets, wooden walls on both sides, rooms on both sides, there was a candlestick every five meters in the corridor, and the candlesticks were lit with thick candles, which seemed to be quiet and mysterious in the room.

"Auntie, are you here?" At this time, a little boy ran out of the room on the left side at the end of the corridor and stood beside Yu Feiyan, looking at Nie Xiaohu and the others with big eyes, with an innocent smile on his face.
