"I'm not telling you." The old lady shook her head with a smile and repeated, "I can't tell you." ”

Xia Beifeng narrowed his eyes.

The old lady just said that she couldn't, not that she didn't want to.

"Okay." Xia Beifeng shrugged his shoulders and changed the question, "Then do you think I can go out now?" ”

The old lady shook her head hesitantly, looked at the direction of the gate and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Then if you know, go and try it." ”

What a point you have to say!

Xia Beifeng looked at the old lady who was in a daze with admiration.

It's like saying nothing!

He carried his belongings, walked through the courtyard, and opened the gate.

Behind the gate is an overgrown garden.

Xia Beifeng smiled, slowly closed the door again, and walked towards the wall next to the door.

He walked a few meters, took two steps back, and looked up at the wall that was more than two meters high.

Outside the wall was a lush forest, and there were even branches of several trees sticking horizontally into the wall, and on the branches stood a bird grooming its feathers.

Xia Beifeng ran two steps, jumped hard, and kicked the wall in mid-air to borrow his strength, and directly climbed over the wall.

The bird on the branch fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, dropping two tiny feathers and slowly landing on the wall.

As a result, when Xia Beifeng landed, he stepped directly on the pile of white bones dug up last night.

He stood there for a moment before he lowered his head helplessly and looked at the white bones under his feet.

As soon as he hit the ground, he heard the sound of something breaking under his feet, and at this moment, it was exactly as he expected.

The ghost Taoist priest's bones were already mutilated and divided into three parts, and it looked even more miserable when he stepped on it like this, and in some places it was so broken that it was completely impossible to distinguish the part of the human body that originally belonged to it.

Xia Beifeng took a big step forward, and reluctantly turned to the pile of white bones and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Then he ran briskly in the direction of the room where he stayed last night.

When Xia Beifeng returned to the door of the room, the old lady was still sitting there basking in the sun, and when she saw him running back, she smiled at him.

It's almost like I had expected it a long time ago.

Xia Beifeng stood still in front of the old lady and looked down at the old lady.

The old lady also looked up at him, puzzled.

"What do you think I should do now?" Xia Beifeng said and bowed respectfully to the old lady, and said very sincerely: "Please show me a way to live." ”

"I don't know." The old lady was still smiling in a daze, and she squinted at the sun in the sky, shaking her head incessantly.

Xia Beifeng didn't know what to do for a while.

The old lady obviously knew something, but for some reason she wouldn't say anything. If she is a young and strong person, it can be a man or a woman, even if it is a half-old child, Xia Beifeng will use some means to force her to speak.

But she is an old lady who can be poked to death by looking at a finger, and the two of them have no grievances before, so at this time she really did something to her, and Xia Beifeng felt sorry when she thought about it.

What's more, the old lady kept stopping herself from entering this ghost house last night, although she didn't listen to her in the end, but it stands to reason that she should still accept her love.

Xia Beifeng sighed helplessly, squatted under the steps at the door, took the old lady's hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in her palm.

The old lady looked down at the melon seeds in her hand, tilted her head in confusion, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"You can rest for a long time, I'll go somewhere else." Xia Beifeng stood up and took out a bottle of mineral water and put it next to the old lady, "You are here basking in the sun and eating melon seeds, don't run around, drink water when you are thirsty, and wait for me to come back, okay?" ”

The old lady didn't answer, she looked up at Xia Beifeng for a while, then looked down at the melon seeds in her hand, and suddenly sang something in a low voice.

Xia Beifeng had already turned around to leave, listening to the old lady's indistinct voice, and turned back to listen.

The old lady was old, and she didn't have a few teeth left, and her speech was leaky, and she couldn't sing even more music.

Xia Beifeng listened hard for a long time before he could barely make out what the old lady was singing a few words.

She sang a few lines from Su Sanqi's explanation:

Which one goes to Nanjing,

Deliver the letter with my Saburo

Let's just say that Su San broke his life,

In the next life, I will repay the dogs and horses......

She didn't seem to be able to remember the words, but she just sang these four lines over and over again, and her voice was soft, and she couldn't pronounce the words clearly, and it sounded like a mosquito humming.

Xia Beifeng listened, but frowned, and his expression became more and more serious, as if he had thought of something.

The old lady stopped singing for a while, she opened her eyes a small slit, looked at Xia Beifeng's confused expression, hummed two more sentences, suddenly sighed, and said to Xia Beifeng: "Su San, this girl is miserable!" ”

"Huh?" Xia Beifeng had a little clue, but he was startled by the old lady's sudden interruption, but he forgot what he was thinking about just now.

"What do you keep talking about?"

"I said, Su San, this girl is miserable!" The old lady picked up a melon seed and handed it to Xia Beifeng, "She's going to die, and she's been thinking about her man, but her man doesn't know." You said that if she really died, and didn't even receive a reply from her man before she died, how much resentment she should have! ”

"What do you mean by ......" Xia Beifeng looked at the old lady, who shook her head and continued to look down at the melon seeds in her hand.

Xia Beifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, clapped his hands, and said respectfully to the old lady: "Thank you, I understand." ”

The old lady placed one of her index fingers on her top and shook her head at him.

"I didn't say anything...... You saw it yourself last night. ”

Xia Beifeng nodded, indicating that he understood. Turning back, he pushed open the door to the room, and walked around the old lady into the room.

When he closed the door, he faintly heard the old lady at the door muttering to herself: "I didn't say anything......"

Xia Beifeng returned to the room and first took out his mobile phone and took a look.

The phone shows that there are two more bars of signal.

He dialed a number directly, and after waiting for a while, he heard the call go through.

Xia Beifeng smiled evilly, leisurely waiting for the man to answer the phone, but he smiled and laughed and heard a short busy sound.

His smile froze on his face for a moment, and he didn't give up on it again, but this time it rang for a long time and no one answered, until it hung up automatically.

He struck again in anger, and this time heard a voice.

A childish homonym on the other end of the phone kept repeating: "I'm sorry, the user you dialed has temporarily blacklisted you, please don't call again, thank you for your cooperation......"

Xia Beifeng: "......"

He slammed his phone on the table.

Uncle's! This thing actually recorded a ringtone to pass me, didn't you?

He scratched at his hair in annoyance, feeling very disturbed.

The old lady was still basking in the sun at the door and humming a song, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Xia Beifeng pulled over the chair, sat on it and looked up at the roof, was stunned for a moment, and then let out a sigh.

He opened his painting folder, took out a few pieces of rice paper from under the drawing paper, and found a little wolf hair and wrapped ink block in his bag, and pulled the inkstone on the table closer.

The inkstone on this table has been unused for many years, and it is covered with a thick layer of ash. Xia Beifeng cleaned it up, poured water on it and began to grind the ink.

"This inkstone is a good thing...... Xia Beifeng observed the inkstone while grinding ink, and said to himself: "If you bring it back, I don't know if it will work." ”

It was a fine inkstone, polished very smooth. There are several small plum blossoms carved on one side of the inkstone, which look very delicate, like a girl's thing.

The sun gradually shifted from the top to the west, and the old lady had been sitting at the door of Xia Beifeng's room eating melon seeds and basking in the sun, occasionally humming a few words to indicate that the people in the house were not dead.

Xia Beifeng, on the other hand, stayed in the house and wrote a reply for an afternoon.

He wanted to write a reply letter for the "Shen Nian" Mr. Shen to see if he could fulfill the female ghost's wish and send her away peacefully, but after writing the three words "Jiang Yunshan", he didn't know what to do.

He has lived so long in his life, and he has rarely had the experience of rejecting the opposite sex, not to mention that this time it is not his own business, but writing letters for others.

At first, he tried to write several reply letters, written in a coaxing tone, some directly and cruelly refused, some comforting, or just like ordinary friends chatting and greeting...... But no matter how I write, I don't feel very satisfied.

As a result, those replies that could not be written halfway through were crumpled up as waste paper and thrown on the table.

"Tsk, trouble ......"

Xia Beifeng whispered, and simply drew on the rice paper.

He'd wasted a few pieces of paper, but he still hadn't figured anything out, and he wanted to die of annoyance.

"Why am I doing this here!"

However, no one could answer the question, and there was not even a ghost in the house now, so he had to worry about it himself.

It took Xia Beifeng a few minutes to draw a small bird on that piece of rice paper. The bird was painted in black ink with only a few brushstrokes, but it was very expressive, as if it were really a bird with its head tilted and combing its feathers.

He finished drawing the bird and spent the branches under the bird's feet. After a while, the paper was already covered with ink-colored flowers and plants, and there was nowhere to put pen to paper.

So the paper was crumpled again, thrown on the table, rolled twice, and became a waste product along with its predecessors.

Xia Beifeng laid out another piece of paper, put the pen on the paper, and stared at the pen in a daze, but he couldn't write a word.

What would the real Shen Nian do?

He would directly send the unopened letter back untouched, which made Miss Jiang completely lose her thoughts. Like the ones I saw last night.

It's really not a thing, how can you make a girl so sad?

Xia Beifeng sighed in his heart, finally found a clue, and began to pick up a pen and write on paper.

Fortunately, Xia Beifeng is quite familiar with this "Shen Nian" Mr. Shen, and it doesn't take much effort to imitate his handwriting, otherwise it would be more troublesome.

It only took him ten minutes to write all the replies to the girl's affectionate seventeen letters.

All the replies were written except by name: Received, well, do not read.

Six words plus three punctuation marks.

This is the safest way that Xia Beifeng can come up with. After all, if you really write according to the character of "Mr. Shen Nian". With that person's mouth, once he writes too much, he may anger the female ghost, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And then that was left for this last letter.

Xia Beifeng thought like this, took out the letter he had been carrying in his pocket, and scratched his head in annoyance.

This is the most troublesome, what should I write about?

Just as he was struggling, the old lady who had been basking in the sun quietly at the door suddenly made a loud noise somehow.

Xia Beifeng was startled, immediately pushed away the letter in front of him, rushed to the door and opened the door.

The old lady was being pinned to the ground by the neck of the mute child she saw last night, and her face was already a little blue, and she was about to die.

Xia Beifeng didn't think about it, he directly raised his leg and kicked the kid out of the way. Then he quickly squatted down and helped the old lady up to see if she was okay.

The child rolled on the ground a few times before slowly getting up again, standing far away, staring at Xia Beifeng with some schadenfreude.

The old lady had already been choked to her senses. After Xia Beifeng kicked the child away, he slapped her on the back a few times, but it had no effect, and the old lady's heartbeat gradually weakened.

When he was hesitating to try artificial respiration, the old lady opened her eyes by herself.

Xia Beifeng glanced at the old lady who had just woken up, then immediately looked away, threw her to the ground, and was about to turn around and go back to the room.

The old lady quickly grabbed Xia Beifeng's hand and pulled him back.

Xia Beifeng turned around.

The old lady doesn't look like an eighty or ninety-year-old man now, but more like a woman in her twenties, and her eyes look at the summer north wind with affection, and she seems to be a little shy.

"Here's the girl." Xia Beifeng nodded at the polite old lady, then raised his head and nodded at the mute child standing aside, "And this strong man, you talk first, I won't bother you." ”

With that, he twisted his wrist, wrenched his hand from the old lady's hand, and quickly retreated into the room, raising his hand to close the door.

"Wait a minute, sir." The old lady opened her mouth and shouted out to Xia Beifeng.

Her voice did not sound like that of an old lady, but of a young woman, thin and soft, very nice.

Xia Beifeng had no choice but to stop closing the door and looked at the old lady suspiciously.

A small bird took advantage of everyone's lack of attention, and quickly slipped through the crack in the door into Xia Beifeng's house.
