Millet had been sullen for more than ten days after her father left, not talking much to anyone, only smiling reluctantly when she was amusing the white night—and in the evening, she went to the door, and seemed to wait for her grandfather to come back.

Helian Tian knew that she was waiting for her father, so he walked over and said, "The place where he went is far away, and it is impossible to come back in a month or two." If you have to wait, wait a month or two. ”

About half a month later, one day Xiaomi suddenly said to Helian Tian: "Master, you teach me the skills of raising cat ghosts." ”

Helian Tian was overjoyed, he knew that Xiaomi had great potential, and he had wanted to teach her for a long time, but she was in a bad mood during this time, so he didn't want to bother her. In addition, learning something can divert her attention and maybe make her happier.

"After learning to raise cat ghosts, I can go to Ma Xiucai." Millet said.

Helian Tian didn't believe that she could learn all the cat ghost techniques before Ma Xiucai came back, but he didn't want to discourage Xiaomi's enthusiasm, so he said: "Well, you are very talented, you have learned the art of cat ghosts, your strength has been greatly improved, and you can protect yourself when you go out, so you can go to Ma Xiucai." ”

In the days that followed, Xiaomi's rapid progress frequently surprised Heliantian. It wasn't only Xiaomi that surprised him, but Bai Ye's behavior also surprised him. In the process of teaching Xiaomi, Bai Ye's cooperation is often needed, and Helian Tian gradually discovers that Bai Ye can not only be used as a horcrux to pretend to be ghosts, but also to eat ghosts. Every time he eats a ghost, Bai Ye's strength soars, almost absorbing all the ghost's energy and converting it into its energy. The more evil the ghost, the stronger the strength increased after absorbing it by the white night.

Xiaomi also discovered that White Night was different from other kitten ghosts, as well as Mr. White and Mr. Night. She guessed that it was when she and Ma Xiucai were out collecting grievances that night, Bai Ye had changed. Bai Ye helped collect some that night, but Ma Xiucai couldn't name it because he didn't know where it was collected, so he didn't ask for it. Then it eats the spirit that jumped out to intimidate Xiaomi. White Night eats the geist, perhaps thinking that it is useless to put it in the stomach.

But Xiaomi and Helian Tian still underestimated Bai Ye's strength.

Once, Helian Tian took Millet and Bai Ye to exercise in the barren mountains and mountains, and when they came back, there was no water, and they begged for water to drink from a family on the side of the road.

As Helian Tian was drinking water, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the wall of the family's bedroom. Startled, he hurriedly put down the scoop and rushed into the house.

It was a young man in his twenties who gave him water to drink, and when the young man saw Helian Tian suddenly rushing into the house, he hurriedly shouted, "Big brother, what are you doing? ”

"There's a ghost in that room of yours! I just saw it! Helian Tian couldn't help but say something, and rushed directly into the bedroom.

Millet hurriedly followed with the white night.

They went into the bedroom, and the shadow was still there, motionless.

The shadow was on the wall diagonally facing the door. The walls were white-lime, and the shadow looked like a smoky mark.

"I'm sorry, this shadow is too human-like. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a ghost. Helian Tian apologized to the young man.

Indeed, the shadow looked like a man standing against a wall from a distance.

Unexpectedly, the young man said, "Big brother, your eyes are too accurate!" That's a ghost! ”

Helian Tian was surprised and asked, "Brother, don't lie to me. To tell you the truth, I've seen a lot of ghosts, and I've never seen a ghost painted on a wall. That being said, he actually believed in the young man a little. His sixth sense told him that this shadow was extraordinary. When he was a student at the Japanese Army Military Academy, he learned to distinguish the psychology of others by observing people's expressions, and the young man in front of him was calm and calm, and there was no sign of lying.

The young man said, "What am I lying to you for?" I live here every day, can't I scare myself? I recognized it as a ghost at a glance, and thought that you should be an ordinary person, and maybe you can help me drive this ghost away, so I told you. ”

"Then tell me first, how did this ghost come about?" Helian Tian asked.

The young man invited them to sit down in the hall and gave them a slow talk.

The young man said that his name was Fan Jing, and he had a gambler cousin named Yin Xiangdong, and the house turned out to be his cousin's.

This Yin Xiangdong originally had a little money in his family, and he also married a beautiful wife. But Yin Xiangdong has always had a habit of gambling, losing more and winning less, and gradually lost all the money in his family. His wife, Yu, was particularly virtuous, weaving cloth day and night to support the family. But the money he earned from weaving was not enough for him to lose. So, a few years later, he lost his family and was destitute. Even so, he still soaked in the gambling hall day and night and did not come back.

One day, Yin Xiangdong lost all his money in the gambling hall and was kicked off the table by other gamblers. But he was still standing at the table and refused to leave. It just so happened that Fan Jing was also gambling in the gambling hall that day. Yin Xiangdong pulled Fan Jing aside and secretly said to Fan Jing: "Brother, brother, I don't have any money to bet, can you lend me a little to turn the book?" ”

Fan Jing knew that he would not come back if he lent money to his cousin, so he said that he had no money.

Yin Xiangdong rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay not to borrow money, but for the sake of brotherhood, you have to do me a favor." ”

Fan Jing said: "You can borrow anything except borrow money." ”

Yin Xiangdong said: "I still have three or four oceans at home, you go and help me get them." ”

Fan Jing didn't understand and asked, "You can just get the money from your family yourself, why do you need me to take it?" ”

Yin Xiangdong said: "That's the hard-earned money earned by your sister-in-law weaving, which she hid in a small wooden box under the bed." After all, your sister-in-law and I are husband and wife, and she and I have suffered a lot. I never took the money because it was her last bit of hard-earned money, and I couldn't get my hands on it. I really don't have any money tonight, I can't help it, so I'll give you a hard run. ”

Fan Jing was reluctant to go, and shirked: "I can't go." You said that this is my sister-in-law's last bit of hard-earned money, how can I steal it? ”

Yin begged Dongyang: "I will quietly put your sister-in-law's money back when I take it." Brother, if you don't help me, I won't be able to turn it over! ”

Fan Jing had no choice but to agree to help him steal his sister-in-law's money.

Fan Jing got out of the gambling hall and rushed to his cousin's house, and found that his sister-in-law happened to be not in the house, so he immediately sneaked into the room. He slipped into his sister-in-law and cousin's bedroom, found a small wooden box under the bed, and pocketed the only four oceans left in it.

He was about to leave when there were footsteps and the coughing of his sister-in-law outside. My sister-in-law was walking towards the house.

He hurriedly hid behind the door, shielded himself with the door panel, and slipped out again when he had the chance.

There were gaps between the planks of the door, and he could see everything in the room through the gaps.

The sister-in-law closed the outside door and walked into the bedroom. It was very dark in the room, and my sister-in-law lit a candle, then sat down on the loom next to the bed, and knitted the cloth in a tie.

Fan Jing knew that he couldn't go out for the time being, so he had to stay silently behind the door panel, watching his sister-in-law weave cloth, thinking that he would find a chance to slip away when she finished weaving the cloth and blew out the candles.

This bedroom has two doors, one door leads directly to the hall, and Fan Jing is hiding behind this door, and there is a small door behind Fan Jing's sister-in-law, which leads to a small storage room.

After my sister-in-law sat down for a while, a man suddenly came out of the small door!

The man was dressed in a green robe, a green coat, a small autumn hat, his face was flushed, and his eyes reflected the light of candles, as if his eyes were on fire. He stood behind his sister-in-law and watched her weave cloth.

Fan Jing was indignant, thinking to herself, this man must be her sister-in-law's lover, and while her cousin was not at home, she had a tryst with this lover! I always thought that my cousin couldn't live with my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be a hidden person!

But after waiting for a while, Fan Jing's mind changed.

The man in the little autumn hat kept standing behind his sister-in-law and didn't say a word. And the sister-in-law was concentrating on weaving the cloth, as if she didn't feel that there was anyone behind her.

Isn't that a human, it's a ghost? Fan Jing was shocked.

As soon as Fan Jing thought so, the man walked up to his sister-in-law and tore off the thread in his sister-in-law's hand with his hand.

The sister-in-law still didn't see the man, and when she saw that the thread was broken, she picked it up and continued to weave.

Fan Jing could be sure that it was a ghost in his heart. And he could see this ghost, but his sister-in-law couldn't see it.

The ghost saw that the sister-in-law continued to weave, and stepped forward to tear the thread again.

The sister-in-law had no choice but to stop again and pick up the broken thread.

When Fan Jing saw his sister-in-law continue to weave, the ghost stepped forward again and tore off the thread.

When the sister-in-law saw that the thread was broken again, tears fell down her eyes, and she said to herself with a sad face: "My man is not angry, and he loses all the things in the house, no matter how much he persuades." My loom is no longer angry, and the thread is always broken, and it is against me everywhere. It seems that it is providence to torture me, what is the point of my life! ”

When Fan Jing heard his sister-in-law say this, he felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't wait to put the ocean in his pocket back into the wooden box under the bed now.

When the ghost heard his sister-in-law say this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and danced. It had just torn off the thread again and again, just to make her depressed and sad.

The sister-in-law, who had cried for a while and seemed even more disheartened, stood up and pulled a rope out of the cabinet opposite the bed with a candle in hand. She flung the rope, and one end of the rope hung down through the beam.

The ghost was even more pleased, and he jumped up and down beside his sister-in-law like an overexcited child. Immediately after, he helped tie the rope and moved the stool under the rope.

Fan Jing saw that her sister-in-law was already in a trance, and let the ghost help her step onto the stool. The sister-in-law stretched out her head, and the ghost grabbed the rope with one hand and put the noose on the sister-in-law's head.

Fan Jing saw that his sister-in-law was about to be tricked and hanged by the ghost, and her life hung by a thread. He couldn't hold back any longer, kicked the door, jumped out from behind it, and cried out almost in a broken voice: "I'm going to hang someone!" He was very frightened, afraid that the demon would do something to him, so he cried out with all his might, and emboldened himself.

Seeing this, the ghost was very frightened and at a loss, standing there motionless, stunned to look at Fan Jing, who was screaming hysterically.

Hearing the shouting, the neighbors hurriedly broke down the door and rushed in.

The people who rushed in saw Fan Jing's sister-in-law fall to the ground, her mouth and tongue were closed, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was delirious, and saw Fan Jing shaking on the ground like a sifting chaff, and saw the person wearing a small autumn hat standing in place, with his mouth slightly open and his eyelids unblinking, like a clay statue.
