Chapter 5: Midnight

Actually, I've always had a question, what do you use to control your body movements when your head is off!

Xia Beifeng looked at the few children in front of him speechlessly, and his thoughts flew thousands of miles away.

The little boy threw his head upward, caught it after turning in the air, looked at Xia Beifeng with innocent eyes, and continued to say crisply: "Uncle, let's play ball." ”

The remaining children also grabbed the corners of Xia Beifeng's clothes or trouser legs and didn't let go, all of them looked up at him, and kept saying "Come play, let's play...... The children's voice was so sharp that it was like a magic sound.

The little girl simply grabbed Xia Beifeng's cuffs and shook her body, trying to pull Xia Beifeng out of the room.

The little girl looks very cute, with big eyes and a sharp chin, a small cherry mouth and a pointed chin, and she looks like a beauty.

It would have looked better if she hadn't bled from the Seven Orifices.

Xia Beifeng sighed, pressed the little girl's head with one hand, pulled out his sleeve hard, and smiled gently at them.

"Okay, you guys let go first, I'll play with you."

The little boy immediately "giggled" when he heard this, and at the same time reached out and raised his head in front of Xia Beifeng.

At the same time, his face began to rot.

Xia Beifeng grabbed the small human head with one hand, spun it around his fingertips a few times like a basketball, and then squatted down slightly and began to dribble back and forth.

I was stunned to see the few children with their heads.

Xia Beifeng dribbled the ball a few times and put on a standard shooting posture. Jumping on the spot, he threw the little boy's head into the yard with a force on his wrist.

There was a "poof" sound in the courtyard, and it sounded as if something had fallen into the pond.

"Alright." Xia Beifeng clapped his hands twice, smiled and said to the group of children: "I want to tell you a very important thing, don't call uncle to someone who is younger than you." Or do I look older than you? ”

The little girl didn't know what to think, but she shook her head stupidly.

"Well, that's good. So remember to call me brother in the future. Xia Beifeng still nodded at her with a smile, took two steps back, and put one hand on the side of the door.

"I've already played with you, now go pick up the "ball" and play by yourself, my brother is going to sleep, you don't want to disturb me. ”

"Oh." The little girl nodded obediently and called out sweetly, "Brother".

Ah, what a good kid. If she hadn't died, I'd love to hug her! Xia Beifeng sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, a round thing in the pool in the courtyard burst out of the water with a "bang", and when the thing came out of the water, it brought a splash, and there were a few aquatic plants hanging on it, and it flew towards the summer north wind so quickly.

Xia Beifeng quickly closed the door with his hand, and pasted the rune paper he had just drawn on the crack of the door.

There was a violent tremor from the doors and windows of the room, accompanied by a muffled crash, as if something outside was trying to break into the room. However, the not-so-sturdy wooden doors and windows only kept vibrating, and there was no sign of damage.

Xia Beifeng tidied up the futon with peace of mind, and with the chaotic crashing sound, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

The sound outside the house lasted for more than ten minutes, and then stopped suddenly. After a while, there was another soft tapping sound at the window.

Xia Beifeng was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep, but when he heard this voice, he suddenly became energetic again.

The voice was not loud, but it made people listen to it and have a little beautiful thought in their hearts.

It sounded like a young woman was secretly having a lover, tapping lightly on the window lattice, anxiously waiting for the people in the room to come out and answer.

Xia Beifeng walked to the desk with a piece of clothing, took out a lighter, lit a candle, and lit a cigarette by the way.

As the candlelight gradually lit up, a long-haired woman was reflected in the window facing the desk.

The woman's hair was pulled aside, leaving a strand hanging down her chest, and a small stride with a tassel on it was inserted in the bun. Just looking at the shadow reflected in the window, it should be the appearance of a woman in the Republic of China.

"Are you there, sir?" The woman outside the window spoke, her voice soft, which seemed to be the tone of a Jiangnan woman. Although it was only a short sentence, it made people feel that their bones were about to be crispy.

"Hmm." Xia Beifeng replied dispensably, squinting his eyes and carefully observing the figure of the woman outside the window.

"It was my son who just came to disturb that gentleman, and I have already taught him a lesson, I hope that the gentleman will not be surprised." The woman said softly to Xia Beifeng outside the window, her tone full of apologies.

"It's okay." Xia Beifeng laughed happily, held a cigarette, and held his chin with one hand to look at the shadow on the window paper, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's not a big deal if a child is naughty. I don't mind at all. ”

"That's good." The woman seemed to be relieved, raised her hand and patted her chest, squatted sideways again, and saluted Xia Beifeng, "It's really disturbing Mr." Sir, go to bed first, and I'll go. ”

Having said that, the woman was still standing outside Xia Beifeng's window, with no sign of leaving.

Xia Beifeng spat out a puff of smoke at the figure on the window, and tilted her head as if the woman seemed to be aware, avoiding the smoke that gradually dispersed, and had the illusion that she was molesting a woman from a good family.

It seems to be quite cool to play like this. He thought to himself.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Xia Beifeng opened his mouth and asked the woman, "Won't you suddenly take off your head and give it to me like your son?" ”

"How so?" The woman lowered her head slightly as she spoke, and apologized to Xia Beifeng again, "The child is naughty, I scared Mr., I will definitely give him a good lecture, and then bring him to apologize to Mr." ”

"There's no need to apologize, just let him play elsewhere, and don't make me sleep." Xia Beifeng stretched out a finger as he spoke, and made a gesture to provoke the woman's chin through the window paper.

The woman let out a soft "ah" outside the window, and slowly raised her head with Xia Beifeng's movements.

"Sir, don't bully me." The woman raised her chin and said to Xia Beifeng with a little grievance, and then reached out and waved it in front of her.

Xia Beifeng immediately withdrew his fingers.

The woman lowered her head again and chuckled softly.

"Sir doesn't seem to be afraid of me, but it's not a good thing to do."

The woman's slightly disgusted tone when she said this, coupled with Jiangnan's unique tone. It's just a flirtatious Xia Beifeng's heart.

"I'm not really afraid of you, but I don't like it either." Xia Beifeng lay on the table and observed the woman's figure, imagining her appearance in his heart, and laughed when he thought about it.

"Still, if it's a pretty girl, I don't mind talking about it more."

The woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, leaned closer to the window, and asked softly, "Do you think that sir, would you like to talk to me?" ”

"Hmm......" Xia Beifeng dragged out a long voice, estimating that he had already whetted the appetite of the woman outside, and then said reluctantly: "You speak first, I'll listen." ”

"Does the gentleman really want to listen to me?" The woman asked a little excitedly, and then continued: "Actually, I am very happy that my husband is willing to listen to me, so I don't expect my husband to talk to me." ”

The woman stood outside the window, her shoulders trembled a few times, as if she wiped her tears, before she spoke: "I was originally the daughter of a cloth village in Suzhou, and at that time, the old man of the Jiang family passed by my door and fell in love with me, so he forcibly married me. Just because he only has one daughter, he wants to have a son. In those years, he had been bringing women to the house, just to have a son. Later, several of his aunts and wives gave birth to children for him. Fortunately, I gave birth to a son, and the third and sixth wives gave birth to daughters, and they moved directly to the next person's residence. ”

"Huh? Wait......" Xia Beifeng interrupted the woman's words, "Although I don't quite understand the obsession of your group of people with their sons, why do you have to move to live in the next place after giving birth to a daughter, can't you give birth again?" ”

"Ah......" The woman froze for a moment, she probably didn't expect Xia Beifeng to ask such a question, and it seemed that the whole ghost was stunned.

"The master said that if she can't give birth to a son for the first time, it means that she can't do it, and she won't be able to give birth to a son in the future." The woman explained to Xia Beifeng with difficulty, "This is what the foreign doctor said, it should be right......"

"Where's the foreign doctor? Mongolia is here. Xia Beifeng admired the anxious posture of the woman outside the window for a while, and then took the initiative to ask her, "Later, what happened here?" ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately continued: "Then one day, the eldest lady suddenly fell ill. The lord took the eldest lady who was studying outside, but did not let her go to see the eldest lady, but locked her in the house, and told us that the eldest lady was sick and no one was allowed to see her. I went to see it secretly a few times, and the eldest lady was fine, and she didn't look sick at all. The eldest lady's illness has not been cured, so the lord decided to marry the eldest lady while the eldest lady is not dead. As a result, I don't know what happened on the way to the eldest lady's marriage, and none of the people who sent the eldest lady to her mother-in-law's house came back, only the eldest lady came back alone. As soon as the eldest lady came back, she was like crazy, and jumped directly into the pond and committed suicide. That night, the eldest lady also fell ill and died. The old man said that he would bury the two of them outside, but he didn't expect the eldest lady to come back in the first seven soul nights, and all the dozens of people in this house were killed. I've been here for I don't know how many years. ”

After listening to this, Xia Beifeng thought for a long time before speaking: "Who is your eldest lady married to, do you know?" And what about your lord, who is also dead? ”

"After the lord buried the eldest lady, he went out and never came back...... As for who the eldest lady marries, I don't know. After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to recall something, and said hesitantly: "I heard that the other party is a family affair that was decided when I was a child, and I have never met anyone." ”

"Oh......" Xia Beifeng pondered for a moment.

The woman was still standing outside the window, as if she was staring at the summer north wind. He neither speaks, nor departs.

"Can you say something else?" Xia Beifeng asked her.

"Say something interesting."

"I wonder what Mr. wants to hear?"

"Anything, I want to talk to the pretty girl, but I don't want to hear how the pretty girl died." Xia Beifeng said to the woman in a brisk tone.

The woman did not speak, she leaned sideways against the window, and through the translucent window paper she could even see the embroidery on her clothes.

It's a couple and Tillian.

"Talk about poetry and songs, wind and snow, or something? You're going to know a little bit. Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand as he spoke, and touched the position of the woman's waist, and the woman immediately retreated a little.

"Sir thinks highly of me, I haven't read any books. Even the name was taught to me by the eldest lady, so I don't think I can talk about it with my husband. The woman seemed to glance in a certain direction, and then crouched down and saluted.

"It's too late today, so I won't bother Mr., I'll take my leave first."

Aren't the female ghosts in ghost stories full of poetry and books, gentle and demure, and can accompany the scholars to chat all night? Why don't you know anything!

Xia Beifeng looked at the woman's back in surprise, feeling that he was holding a sulk in his heart, not vomiting or unhappy.

He quickly tore off the talisman paper from the window, opened the window, and shouted at the back of the woman who had not gone far: "I said this lady, can you read more books and then come to the man's window to talk to someone!" ”

The woman quickly turned her head and glared at Xia Beifeng.

Her face was drenched in blood, and she didn't know where her whole face had gone.
