"There was a demon who escaped during the escort, and I chased her here and suddenly disappeared." Qin Ye asked me, "Miss Shen, you came over there, and you can see the ghosts passing by?" β
I shook my head, "No." β
Qin Ye thought about it and said, "That's okay, if you really let him run to Old Man Bai, it will be troublesome." β
"Do you know Mr. Bai?"
"Dongchuan is such a big place, and there are not many people who still live here, so they must know each other more or less." Qin Ye said: "What's more, that old man is very weird, and he is a person who works for the Situ family, how can anyone not know him." β
I nodded, I wanted to say goodbye and not disturb him to do things, but I caught a glimpse of a corner behind him, there was a gray shadow attached there, and if I looked closely, it was a woman with a cloak of hair, her face was as white as pulp paper, only half of her body was leaning out, and a pair of eyes were gloomy, staring closely at Qin Ye's back.
"Miss Shen, I have important things to do now, so I left first, my house is on the street next door, you saw the biggest one in the past, wait for me to catch that evil ghost back, and thank you again."
Qin Ye said that he was leaving, I stopped him and signaled to him behind him, he immediately understood what I meant, but when he turned his face, the ghost thing met my eyes, and it was about to slip away, so I hurriedly chased after him, and Qin Ye also followed with the messy magic weapon on his body.
The two of them chased into a dead end, the woman just now disappeared, I stood still and closed my eyes, noticed a dark wind on the right side, hurriedly pulled out the tart whip, and threw it at that position.
Qin Ye was frightened, and took a few steps back, the ghost was restrained by me, and the idea of vainly trying to attach himself to his body was cut off, revealing a vicious face, and attacked me.
"Miss Shen, hold on, I'll help right away!"
This ghost has not been dead for a long time, and the resentment is not deep, and it seems that it will only become an evil ghost if it is not paid for its evil deeds in life, and it will not enter reincarnation. Therefore, her cultivation is really not high, and she doesn't even know how to control yin qi, which is not as good as Zhang Qianran we saw in Dongyan Town. In such a state of soul, if you dare to choose a person like Qin Ye with a burning yang energy, she is really fearless, if she really wants to rush over, I am afraid that just the gossip diagram on the Heavenly Master's robe can hurt her by seven or eight points.
I delayed with her for a few moments, and the tart whip struck her in the abdomen with ease, knocking her back, and taking the opportunity to bite her fingertips, I quickly drew a simple amulet on her forehead, and the ghost was frozen in place, with only a pair of bulging eyes and no other ability.
Qin Ye hurriedly took the gossip mirror to find her location, the reflection of the sunlight through the mirror fell on her, I suddenly heard a few wails, watched Qin Ye take out a rope from his arms, ran over and skillfully locked her up, turned around and said to me with a smile: "Finally caught this guy, thank you Miss Shen for helping." β
"Young MasterβYoung MasterβWhere are you?"
A voice came from outside the alley, Qin Ye held the rope in his hand and shouted to him: "Xiaoman, here!" β
The boy called Xiaoman quickly ran over, sweating profusely, panting and saying, "Young master, the old lady asked you to go back early, the seventh master and the eighth master have arrived." β
"Just in time." Qin Ye took out a bottle from his pocket, dipped the liquid in it on his index finger, grabbed Xiao Man, wiped a little on his eyelids, it should be a cow tear that could see the ghost, and then handed him the rope in his hand, and said: "You go and tell the old woman, the young master met an old friend today, he should do his best to be a landlord, and he can't go back for the time being, I will hand over this evil ghost to you, you be careful not to let her run away again, you must hand it over to the seventh master and the eighth master, otherwise something will happen, I only ask!" β
"Young Master-" Xiao Man stretched out his voice, crying and mourning, and glanced at the female ghost, his face was even more gloomy, a hundred reluctantly.
"You don't have to ......"
"Xiaoman, why don't you go soon?" Qin Ye didn't wait for me to finish speaking, so he said to him with a bluffed face: "Do you want to get paid this month?" β
The boy named Xiaoman couldn't, so he had to pull the female ghost and leave the alley step by step.
"It's finally over." Qin Ye saw that Xiao Man had gone away, so he let out a long sigh and said to me: "Although it is said that it is for the underworld, but a good living person, no one wants to deal with these people every day, if I go back, maybe there will be some associated errands, as far as my three-legged cat's kung fu, where can I have such a great ability to deal with these ghosts hidden in the shadows every day, and if it goes on like this, I think I won't be thirty years old, so I will bother to lose all my hair." β
I smiled, and Qin Ye said, "Miss Shen, it's almost noon, where do you live, why don't I invite you to a meal and send you back." β
I said, "Our group is now staying in the round building of the Situ family for the time being. β
He was slightly surprised, thought for a while, and said, "If it's nearby, I can take you to Chen Laosi's house, his cooking skills are still counted in our place." β
I wanted to ask him about something, so I agreed, and walking on the road, Qin Ye asked me: "Why did you live in the round building, do you know the people of the Situ family?" β
I told him about our attack in Puxian Village and being rescued by Situ Yao, Qin Ye said: "I have heard some things about their side, and the Situ family's puppet control technique is the same, the evil door is very evil, although I don't like their family's style, but they have not been easy these years, it has been so long, Situ Yao still guards the deep ditch every day to take revenge, and I don't know how he survived, since Situ Heng was burned to death in that fire, their family's affairs have not been interrupted for a day." The old family master died of illness, and the eldest son was seriously ill not long after he succeeded to the throne, and Dong Chuan's umbrella was probably exhausted at this point. β
"You just said Situ Heng?"
Qin Ye was stunned and said, "It's the son of the Situ family." It's normal that you don't know about this, they are so proud of a family, even the ancestral shrine was burned clean, I heard that Situ Heng was captured and thrown into the fire, and the bones were not left, the old family owner went west because of this incident, at that time, Situ Yao was traveling outside to learn art, and when he came back, he didn't even see him for the last time. These Dongchuan people all know it, but because this is a dead knot that cannot be untied for the Situ family, no one usually mentions it, especially Situ Heng, the name alone has become a taboo. β
Situ family, did they have three sons?
I followed behind Qin Ye in silence, recalled, remembered a detail, when I talked to Lan Ruo about the fire that day, she had said that the Situ family was "dead", and when she talked about the old man in Puxian Village, she was also talking about the person who took care of the little young master before. I thought she was talking about Situ Yao, but after thinking about it carefully, she has always called Situ Yao the second young master, so this little young master undoubtedly refers to Situ Heng, no wonder her expression at that time was entangled and hesitant.
"It's just ahead." Qin Ye pointed to a family and said with a smile: "We don't have any restaurants in a small place here, and some guests are feasting at home, today's situation is quite special, so I have to borrow flowers here to offer Buddha first, I hope Miss Shen doesn't mind." β
I said no, followed him into the door and was placed in a spacious side room, Qin Ye said something to the master, not long after, a porridge was served first, Qin Ye let me taste it, I scooped a spoonful and put it in my mouth, a stream of deliciousness immediately spread in the mouth, the rice fragrance is rich, soaking the taste buds, boiled soft, melted in the mouth.
"How?" Qin Ye said: "This is our unique fish porridge in Dongchuan, although it is called this name, there is actually no fish in it." β
"No fish?" I can clearly taste the smell of fish.
Qin Ye said: "Yes, the taste of the fish inside is a kind of wild vegetable here for us, except for winter, three seasons of longevity, no stems, broad leaves, very fat, pick it back from the outside to dry, when you eat it in the water to soak it, chop it into a fine mushroom, add a little starch, a small amount of seasoning marinate, put it in after the rice porridge is cooked, boil it on low heat until it turns white, and the rice grains are integrated, and when you can't distinguish it anymore, it's done." β
I think it's strange, Qin Ye said: "We people here are used to drinking such a bowl of porridge before meals, and the pot is often simmered, and it can be eaten whenever you want, especially when the season begins to get colder, warm your body, and feel transparent all over your body." β
The warmth in my throat moved down my esophagus, and even the wind blowing in from the window felt very comfortable, and the host made the meal and brought it up one by one, and I invited them to sit together, they just laughed, waved at me again and again, and closed the door when they went out.
Qin Ye also asked them to bring some self-brewed grain wine, I didn't expect the alcohol content to be so high, only drank half a cup, I felt that my face was hot, my whole body was warm, after a meal, I felt that my head was a little swollen, Qin Ye drank more than me, but there was nothing.
After Qin Ye sent me to the corner in front of the round building, I said goodbye to him, but he didn't leave, I asked him if there was anything else, Qin Ye looked at the direction of the round building, pondered for a while, and then said to me: "There is something you want to trouble Miss Shen, you live in it now, do you notice that there is something wrong with their family?" β
I wasn't sure what he was referring to, Qin Ye saw me hesitating, and said bluntly: "Situ Jing, the old master of the Situ family, and his youngest son Situ Heng died in the same year, and the people from the underworld came at that time, but they didn't find their souls several times, and this case was pressed for a long time, and finally the seventh master handed over this errand to me and let me start investigating." It's just that there is some misunderstanding between the two of us, and the relationship is not very good, I have never been to the round building, and I have been found out several times when I got close to it secretly, and I have never gained anything, so I want to ask Miss Shen, if you find a yin ghost trapped inside, please tell me. β
