I turned around and came back, at this time there were only me and Mr. Li left in the store, he looked at me with a smile on his face, picked up the wine bowl and touched the two, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhang, what do you think of the song just now?" ”

I dodged the aggressive gaze in his eyes, shook my head with a smile and said, "Mr. is a scholar, I am just the shopkeeper of a small shop, you say good, then it is naturally good, how do I understand this." ”

Mr. Li stared at my face with a smile and looked at me for two puffs of cigarettes, until Chunxiang came in, he changed his face, stood up and asked, "Is your sister Mei okay?" ”

"It's okay, it may be a little cold, the weather has been fickle recently, hot and cold, it's normal, I boiled her ginger soup and drank it, don't worry." ”

"Oh, then in that case, I'll go back early, and we'll meet another day." After saying that, Mr. Li stood up and left without looking back.

Haruka stared at his back and asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?" What about Brother Cui and Sister Lotus? ”

I shook my head and said, "As soon as the scholar drank some wine, he became poetic, and made some sour words that he didn't understand, and Brother Cui and Lotus felt bored, so they left first." ”

Chunxiang said with a smile after hearing this: "Mr. Li is also selling something, never forget his business, okay, it's not early, you carry Xiaoyuan on your back, I'll close the door, hurry home." ”

I carried Xiao Yuan, who had already fallen asleep on his stomach, behind him, and Haruka cleaned up briefly, locked the door, lit a small lantern, and the family walked back.

At this time, the cold wind suddenly rose, Xiao Yuan squirmed in his deep sleep, so I changed my position, held him in my arms, and involuntarily accelerated my pace under my feet.

At this time, it was the second watch, the empty street was silent, I don't know whether it was a wild cat or a wild dog, there was always a rustling of footsteps, but when I looked back, it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, Chunxiang heard the sound, and couldn't help but speed up the pace, the two people didn't say a word, just lowered their heads and hurried.

When I got home, I put Xiao Yuan on the small bed, and Haruka watched quietly from the side, and suddenly looked up and asked me, "What words did Mr. Li do today?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and repeated his words, and although I could only see her back from my angle, I could clearly feel her suddenly tense, and I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Haruka stood up, pulled me straight to the front hall, closed the door, there was no lamp, she sighed and sat down and said, "It seems that the governor has begun to suspect you." ”

She didn't care if Lei Yuhao was called Abba, but called Du Zhen, such a solemn title, I felt that things might not be simple, and then asked, "Doubt us?" Suspect what? Who are we referring to? ”

She paused, as if wondering how to speak, and after a while sighed and said, "Do you remember where you came from?" ”

I shook my head and said, "In the last few days I have found that I can't remember anything, and I have a headache when I think about many things. ”

"That madman actually has the same purpose as you, it's all for those two pieces of ancient jade, eight lines and sixteen hexagrams, it's a pity. ”

"What's the line?" What a pity? These two sentences of Chunxiang make me feel as if I am getting closer and closer to a certain truth.

"They arrived here on the Qingming Festival this year, and there were four or five hundred officers and soldiers at that time, but he was the only one left in the end. ”

I suddenly remembered what the madman said last night, before he died, when he went down to find all the brothers and set foot in Longchang Town: "What about the rest? ”

"That's what the sand in the center of the town is buried. ”

"Ahh I couldn't help but be surprised, I couldn't imagine that Lei Yuhao was so mad that five hundred people, more than the number of people in the whole town, were buried so quietly.

"Then why is Qi Lianzhu alive?" ”

"He knows the current affairs, and has been pretending that he has fallen into the Tao, lost his memory, and accepted all the arrangements of Lei Yuhao safely, just like you, while the rest of the people refused to comply, and they were executed on the day they came." ”

"What do you mean to be the same as me?" Could it be that so am I? ”

Chunxiang didn't speak, just nodded slightly, at this moment, I felt as if a thousand catties of boulder were pressed in my heart, and the blocked person was out of breath, no wonder I couldn't think of anything, it turned out to be Lei Yuhao's way.

"That Qi Xuanzhu later burned his own house, pretending to be crazy and stupid and wandering around the town, at first Lei Yuhao was also suspicious of him, but after sending someone to secretly observe for a period of time, he was sure that he was really crazy, so he let it go, and this time judging from his actions, he not only knows you, but also between the two of you, there must be a lot of friendship, otherwise he would not risk death to save him." ”

"Didn't you say he burned the whole family to death?" And you still reported the pistol. "Thinking of Qi Xuanzhu's tragic end, and actually dying for me, and then thinking that all this was actually caused by Chunxiang's denunciation, I couldn't help but feel a great resentment in my heart.

"Qi Xuanzhu's family is Lotus and Xiao Yuan, they will not die.

Besides, Xiao Yuan was playing with guns on the street at that time, and everyone saw it, if I didn't say it, I'm afraid it would not only be you, but even Xiao Yuan and I would not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out, not only me, everyone in this town was Lei Yuhao's eyeliner, and everyone couldn't look forward to some unusual wind and grass in the town, and rushed to report it, so as to keep those two pieces of ancient jade. ”

"Lotus and Obuchi? "I was shocked when I heard this, what is going on Knowing that my man is still alive, but I want to turn a blind eye and marry someone else, and Xiao Yuan actually let his father not recognize it, and call me Abba every day, what's even more hateful is that the madman just wanted to make a toy for his child, and he actually died like this, what is this ancient jade? Can people betray their relatives and ignore them?

"That ancient jade is so important to you?!" ”

Chunxiang sighed, slowly stood up, and said sadly: "Only when this town is here, can we live a life like normal people, otherwise we can only continue to wander around, and there will be no peace." ”

"What do you mean?" ”

Chunxiang didn't speak, pressed her hand on the table, and after a while, her hand passed through the table, I was dumbfounded to see this scene, she continued: "We are ghosts, lonely ghosts wandering around in a radius of hundreds of miles, when the town was built, we were dug up and buried here, and only here, we can live like normal people, living a life of plowing and weaving, trading and trading, and all this is caused by those two pieces of ancient jade, the yin and yang here are completely disordered, and the town where normal people can live is usually a balance of yin and yang." , even if the yin and yang are reversed, they are divided into half, and the yang energy here is extremely weak, except for us, normal people can't live at all, which is why you can't live here for long, and you get sick one after another. ”

I looked straight at the table, and her words seemed to be like a natural sound floating close to my ears, but I couldn't understand it at all, and I felt trembling all over, and I couldn't tell if it was from fear or nervousness, or if this reality was too illusory to accept.

After thinking for a long time, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Why is this happening?" ”

Chunxiang stood up and turned her back to me, and said sadly: "According to Lei Du Town, the reason why this is the case is because the original purpose of the design of this town is to attract the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the vicinity, in order to protect the two pieces of jade of the Eight Pillars

So he spent half a year, ordered people from the nearby large and small walled cities, collected hundreds of nameless corpses, buried under the city, covered with white ash, bluestone paving, meaning to detain the soul, this is not enough, the master of the Li family spent another half a year, the town is designed into a gossip pattern, the middle of the yin and yang double fish is only yin, not yang, the whole style is like an incomparably huge yin fish wrapped in a small yang fish egg, such an intention is that the small yang can gather yin, and the big yin ensures that the yin soul is not too much, After all, the same pole repels each other, the opposite pole attracts, and the water is full of overflow, overcrowded, after the town was built, the Lei family uncle also said that the jade is in the town, the jade is dead, he also said that people are the most unreliable in heaven and earth, only ghosts, wise and resourceful, not afraid of swords, guns and artillery, not confused by interests, as long as the ancient jade does not leave the town, it can be endless, forever safe. ”

"Then who sealed Lei Yuhao's town?" The uncle surnamed Lei? ”

"No one sealed, the rules of this town are whoever gets half of the ancient jade in his hand, who is the governor of the town, named the governor of the town, is actually the ghost king, he has been here for the longest time, the earliest, naturally it is the governor of the town, no one has awarded it." And he is not my father, my father has been reincarnated in the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, and if he is still alive now, the number of yang is greater than yours. ”

"Then why do you call him Abba?" ”

"Anyone in this town can call him Abba, it all depends on the situation, we don't have a fixed family, we don't have a fixed job, anyone, anything, Lei Yuhao can reorganize at will, and everyone has no complaints, because we know that everything he did is to keep those two pieces of ancient jade, to keep us and the whole town, you know, a flower and a tree, a grass and a tree, even if it is a hedgehog or a fox, if you want to cultivate a human form, it will take as little as one or two thousand years, even so it depends on the coincidence, the time and place are favorable." , no less is enough, the slightest carelessness will be wasted, and even go mad, and the body and mind will be destroyed.

And if the lonely soul and wild ghost want to break away from the six realms, it will be even more difficult to cultivate into a human form, and now that there is finally such a place where we can walk in the sun endlessly, you say, who would give up easily? ”

My mind was blank, I didn't know what to believe and what not to believe, my mouth opened several times, but I didn't know where to start, I could only shake my head and sigh again and again, and finally asked: "Then you and I, the husband and wife, and Xiao Yuan, are all fake?" ”

Chunxiang listened to the drum beating outside, slowly sat back on the chair, closed her eyes, nodded gently, tears flowed out, I looked up to the sky and sighed, and slowly closed my eyes, not knowing what to do.

After a while, the big white lantern floated in front of me again, I knew that the time for the night tour had come again, and when I opened my eyes, sure enough, I walked side by side with Chunxiang in the team, I peeked at everyone around me, all of them were pious, and their eyes were straight behind Lei Yuhao, I looked over one by one, and thought, since Chunxiang said that it was us, then who is a human and not a ghost like me?

Squinting, secretly looking at everyone, feeling that everyone is like, but if you look carefully, you feel that no one is like you, so you peeked all the way to the middle of the town, a group of people stood quietly, looking at the big white lantern, the night wind burst out, blowing people's clothes straight up.

Suddenly, Mr. Li slowly walked out of the team, came to Lei Yuhao's side, fell into his ear and muttered in a low voice, pointing towards me as he spoke.

At the same time, everyone, also followed the direction of Mr. Li's finger, turned their heads together, and looked at me in unison, I was panicked and overwhelmed, pretending to be fine, and continued to stare ahead, but my body was secretly trembling, and after looking at it for a while, everyone slowly turned their heads, and in an instant, Lei Yuhao suddenly shouted: "Zhang Xiaofeng!" ”

I instinctively hummed, but at this time, I only heard the sound of the wind behind me, and I was hit the back of the head, and I fainted to the ground.

When I woke up again, I was lying in a room with doors and no windows, and from the light through the crack in the door, it was already bright outside, and there was not a single piece of furniture in the room, only straw all over the floor.

I sat up, rubbed the back of my head, which was still aching, remembered what happened last night, hurriedly stood up, pulled the door, and found that the door was locked, and I banged on the door and shouted, "Someone! Not long after, there were footsteps outside, and Lei Yuhao's voice sounded slowly: "It is worthy of being Lei Dangjia, the old man's methods seem to be useless to you, don't worry, it will be the first day of October in a few days, when the old man will send you on the road, and then personally summon your soul, so that you will always be in this Longchang Town, settle down, multiply, hahahaha"
