"Sir, my tiger didn't cause you trouble today, right?" I didn't see anyone yet, but I heard a loud aunt coming in from outside the house.
"Huzi is very well-behaved today, Aunt Qiao, don't worry." I saw a smiling man holding a tiger-headed child in his hand, leading him from the desk to the face of Aunt Qiao.
When the tiger saw that it was his mother, he made a grimace at his mother.
"You little rabbit, see how I clean you up when I get home" Aunt Qiao picked up a shuttle in her hand and made a gesture to hit the tiger.
"Goodbye sir," he saluted to Mr. obediently, "If you have the ability, you will come, you will not be able to beat me!" Huzi scurried past Aunt Qiao, and didn't forget to twist his ass.
"Sir, then I'll go first,'" hurriedly said goodbye, the Qiao aunt didn't wait for the gentleman to speak, then turned around and chased after her child, and the voice of the mother and son could still echo in the distance, "Oh, ouch, mother, mother, you light, my ears, my ears" "You little rabbit, didn't you still be able to do it just now, I'll see where you run" Without looking, you can imagine that this tiger was carried by Aunt Qiao's ears, grinning with teeth.
The gentleman looked into the distance and smiled slightly, and his face, which was originally not good-looking, suddenly became vivid like a mountain forest with mist. Looking at it again, this person turned out to be the reincarnation king Xue who had changed his appearance.
Xue has been in this village for more than two months, but the strange thing is that he did not find anything abnormal, in order to hide people's eyes, he called himself Xiucai, who went to Beijing to catch the exam, passed by here, and wanted to make some silver taels, fortunately, the people of this village are more polite to people who can read, so he stayed here and observed. But during this time, except for the strangeness he felt at first, the strange feeling he had never had since he entered this village. Xue was a little skeptical that his feelings were wrong.
"Sir, are you home?" came a woman's voice outside the door.
Reluctantly pushed open the door, it was Xiuzhu, the daughter of the village chief, this woman looked at herself too obviously, so that she couldn't resist, but it was not good to refuse too much, after all, the village chief was polite to herself.
"Xiuzhu, didn't I say that I don't need to send these over, I live alone and don't need these."
Xiu Zhu looked at Xue who opened the door in front of him, he really never got tired of looking at it, although this face is not good-looking, let alone graceful, but it is the feeling that I can't describe, every time I see Xue teaching those children in the village in the house, that kind of gentle feeling, Xiu Zhu feels that this man has the power to make people warm. So I always came up with all kinds of excuses to meet him.
"Sir, these are some vegetables that my father asked me to bring, they are all fresh, I want to bring them to you to try" The girl with a lovely smile is really hard to refuse. Xue took Xiuzhu's basket.
"Thank you to the village chief on my behalf, and thank him for his kindness."
"Sir, have you ever thought about living here," Xiu Zhu's small mind couldn't hide Xue's eyes at all,
"There is still an old mother at home who needs to be supported, and I don't want to be too far away from home," Xue cleverly changed the topic.
"Then, if someone is willing to accompany you to support your parents, are you willing" Before he finished saying this, Xiuzhu's face was already quietly red, and he finally asked his thoughts, the man in front of him, he likes it, and he must work hard for the person he likes. Xiuzhu nervously grabbed the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, waiting for Xue's answer uneasily.
Xue sighed in his heart, this girl is a good girl, for mortal people, Xue's heart is always full of compassion, mortals, for themselves, are like their own children, young and need protection.
"Xiuzhu, I understand your intentions, but I still have a fiancée at home," the current rejection is better than the grief in the future.
He actually has a fiancée, Xiuzhu can't believe his ears, the person he likes for the first time in his life already has a fiancée.
Xiuzhu was no longer as smiling as when she came, looking at her lost soul, Xue only hoped that she could figure it out sooner.
Darkness shrouded the small village, and under the cover of the night, a figure kept shuttling through the village.
Coming to the woods in the back mountain, Xue looked at this land, he had to come to inspect it every night, at night, it could cover up a lot of things, and the experience of the underworld told him that the night was the world where some demons and monsters were rampant. However, for the past two months, he has stayed up all night every night, and he has not found any clues.
The cold air in the mountains slowly dissipated, and Xue was ready to go back first, and the sound of his footsteps was even more eerie and terrifying in this night.
Wrong! Xue suddenly reacted, it shouldn't be like this, even if it's about to be autumn, even if it's night, it's too quiet here, as if it's all dead, Xue quietly let go of his divine sense, and felt it, that's right, there is no life, not even the wind!
Xue suddenly reacted, and a white figure in the dark night slashed through the air like an arrow off the string.
If this is the case, Xue looked at the villagers in front of him, and his undulating chest proved that he was still breathing, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no sound of breathing! One family, two families, all the families in the village are like this, although they are breathing, but they cannot be assumed that they are still alive, this state is like that kind of living dead. No matter what they did, they didn't wake up, not even the slightest sign of struggle.
Xue walked out of the door, the village was so quiet at night, it was because he was too careful. As it stands, the biggest problem is in the village. Xue glanced around, and fortunately found a big-headed ghost. The big-headed ghost has an unusually big head, and the head of the smallest big-headed ghost is also three big for ordinary people, and in folklore you can often hear words like "meet a big-headed ghost" and "see a big-headed ghost". Actually, it's the kind of ghost. Because of his big head, he usually appears on both sides of the road, he walks very slowly, and often has to hold his head with both hands. The big-headed ghost is a relatively gentle ghost and will not take the initiative to hurt people, but ordinary people will generally run away in fear when they see such a big head. The underworld basically maintains a laissez-faire attitude towards these gentle ghosts, and does not force them to be reincarnated. Therefore, there are still all kinds of ghosts roaming in the world. Xue beckoned to the big-headed ghost, who actually had two mustaches, and was summoned by Xue, shaking his head as he walked, so as to maintain his balance. That look made people laugh, Xue Ke didn't have time to look at this big-headed ghost at this time.
Walking in front of the big-headed ghost, when he was a stone's throw away, the big-headed ghost trembled and held his head, although he didn't know who was in front of him, but the feeling of nature, the big-headed ghost was going to salute Xue.
"Get up" As the king of Hades in the Ten Palaces, these little ghosts are naturally in awe of Xue.
"How long have you been here?" Xue asked with a deep groan.
"I have lived here for more than ten years." The big-headed ghost kept shaking his head even when he spoke. The little eyes kept looking at Xue.
"Then let me ask you, do you know why the villagers here are so strange." It seems that this big-headed ghost is also a new ghost, the ghost age is only a few decades, in the world of ghosts, the age of ghosts is also the same as the age of the human world, the longer it is, the stronger their mana will be. There are too many ghosts in the world. There are always some ghosts that are left out by the underworld, but generally speaking, the missing ghosts are like the cute big-headed ghost in front of them, and they do not do any harm to human beings, but there is no absolute in everything.
"What's wrong? I just feel that these villagers don't want to move at night, and there used to be some people who came out at night, and I could still see them, but now, no one comes out, and I feel that everything is empty, and I feel so lonely。。。。。。 The big-headed ghost was chattering there alone, completely deviating from Xue's question.
"Alright, you can step aside." He waved his hand to make the noisy ghost in front of him retreat.
"By the way, I remember, a few years ago there was a demon here, and speaking of which, the villagers here don't like to come out at night, even from the time he came." The big-headed ghost slowly shook his head again, and slowly left.
Hell? The ghost, also known as the corpse soul, is prepared to say that it is the soul of returning home. After a person dies, on the day of the 27th day of the resurrection, the soul returns home, just like on the third day of March, some souls of the underworld will return to the world. Whenever it returns, the spirit transforms into a demon that can take on various forms, sometimes a cat, sometimes a fluttering butterfly. However, after returning, the demon will return to the underworld on its own and be reincarnated.
Xue thought about it carefully, because this evil ghost was only formed on the day of return, so the age of the ghost was short, the mana was weak, and according to common sense, it was not a climate. But the words of the big-headed ghost just now are a little unreasonable, and it seems that I have to investigate carefully.
Inspected the village again, except for seeing some small ghosts, Xue did not find the evil ghost in the mouth of the big-headed ghost, it seems that there must be something wrong with this evil ghost, but where can it hide, in the body of every villager, Xue has investigated, and there is no abnormal phenomenon.
The sky began to show a slight morning light, it seems that the only way to continue to check tomorrow Xue was moved in his heart, and rushed back to his house before the villagers woke up.
