Jiu'er's face was full of hope at first, but soon became apprehensive.

"Are you really willing to help me? Actually, I came to you tonight without much hope, I heard my parents say that you are only staying here for one night, and you will leave tomorrow. ”

"Originally, it was planned, but if leaving a few days later can help you, then it doesn't matter if we delay our schedule for a few days. I assured her earnestly.

Jiu'er's face was ecstatic when she heard this, and she was a little incoherent with excitement, and thanked me vigorously. I told him not to be polite to me, and I asked her to explain to me what I wanted to do for her so that I could be prepared.

"Help me mess up this festival. Jiu'er replied very simply, and after speaking, she looked at me nervously.

"Mess up the festival...... "I'm a little uncertain, there are only four of us plus Jiu'er, and it's very difficult to mess up the festival, "Jiu'er, do you have any plans?"

"Of course. Jiu'er smiled at me and hooked her fingers, motioning for me to come closer to her.

I put my ear close to her, and she quickly lowered her voice and told me the whole plan, after listening, I thought about it for a while, and I also felt some confidence in my heart, although the plan is not 100% perfect, but as long as there are no accidents, the feasibility can be said to be great.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so late, so I won't bother you. After talking about the plan, we talked for a while, and Jiu'er got up to say goodbye to me.

"It's okay, good night. ”

"Good night, Mr. Ghost Doctor. ”

After Jiu'er left, I stripped and went to bed. I closed my eyes, I don't know why, Jiu'er's figure was dangling in front of my eyes, but I didn't resist, and even enjoyed it a little. Even though we've only known each other for a short time, I always feel like she and I fit in well in some ways.

The room with the lights off was obviously dark, but I could clearly see Jiu'er smiling at me, and I looked at the illusion in a daze, feeling very satisfied.

"Jiu'er, it's good to be able to help you. Sleepiness set in, and I closed my eyes in reassurance.

......

When everyone had dinner the next day, I told Qingyunzi about my decision to leave a few days later. After listening to my decision, Qingyunzi didn't react much, but Cheng Qian looked puzzled, so I told the plan to help Jiu'er destroy the festival without reservation.

"Xiaofeng, are you saying that we are going to spoil tomorrow's festival when we leave a few days late?" Cheng Qian was a little worried.

I nodded and comforted, "There's nothing to worry about, we'll just follow the plan when the time comes." ”

"Well, well, I hope there aren't any accidents. ”

Cheng Qian sighed lightly, the speed of eating slowed down significantly, I know, he is not very in favor of this, this is not only a waste of time, but also may bring danger to us, besides, the injuries on his body still need to go to Yongqing Town to find the white-haired zombie, so I can completely understand him.

But I don't know why, although I also know that this is a little irrational, but I still don't want to let Jiu'er take the risk alone.

Fortunately, Jiu'er is very good at taking care of people and is very enthusiastic about everyone, so everyone did not show obvious disgust with this operation, in fact, if we didn't have enough time, I don't think anyone would have objected.

"Hopefully tomorrow's operation will go smoothly. "Among the people at the restaurant, I think everyone will have the same voice as me at this moment.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiu'er took Cheng Biao and me to the place where the festival was held, which looked like an empty old ancestral hall, and looked like a dilapidated pavilion from a distance.

The ancestral hall is divided into two floors, and the three of us walked into the first floor and saw that

Stout gray stone pillars rise from the ground, interspersed in the ancestral hall irregularly, and beside the pillars, some strange statues are placed. These statues all look weird, not as majestic and holy as the bodhisattvas or arhats in the temple, but give people a sense of yin.

At this time, Cheng Qian stopped and asked, "Jiu'er, what's the use of these statues, they are so ugly, are they used to scare people?"

Jiu'er burst out laughing: "These are the gods they worship, if what you just said is heard by the residents here, I'm afraid they can beat you to death." ”

"That's it?" Cheng Qian disdained.

Jiu'er took me and Cheng Qian around the first floor, and when I approached the wall, I found that there were many obscure ancient runes engraved on the mottled wall, and I didn't bother to study the things here, so I quickly followed Jiu'er to the second floor.

The second floor is slightly better furnished than the first floor, with tables and chairs and other resting places, and some ancient instruments, so we turned around the second floor completely and left the place.

In the evening, gongs and drums are beating, mixed with the crackling of firecrackers, and the residents of the usual secluded homes rush out of their homes to the place where the festival is held.

It turned out that this party was a short party to promote the evil customs of the place, and at the same time, to announce the name of the girl who will be enshrined tomorrow. Jiu'er's family naturally went to watch the party, and I also went with Cheng Qian and Qingyunzi, in order to better understand the process of the festival and make the plan implement smoothly.

On the makeshift platform, an old man who looked like he was only skinny and skinny, wearing a white robe, looked indifferent and old-fashioned, and looked unwarm.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he waved his hand, suppressed the noise of the crowd, and deliberately raised his voice and spoke to everyone in a deep voice: "I think everyone knows that tomorrow is the day of the festival, and I called everyone here tonight to have a short party with everyone, so that tomorrow's festival can go smoothly." I believe that many people are familiar with me, I am the person in charge of the festival, called the powerful people, anything about the festival, everyone can come to me directly......"

"The powerful people. "I was offstage, repeating the name.

Jiu'er quickly knew that I was suspicious, and explained to me in a low voice: "This old man is in a sense the ruler of this place, and he has always presided over this annual festival, and the residents call him 'the closest person to God', and his prestige in this place is unparalleled. ”

"With his body and bones, it would be nice to be able to hold on for a few years, and he could also be called the closest person to God?" I sneered in my heart, and my tone showed disdain.

Of course, Jiu'er didn't believe this, but explained to me about the powerful people: "Since I was born, I have heard the inhabitants of this place compare him in this way. He was given this title not only because of his status as a festival host, but also partly because of his age, which seems to be in his 120th century. ”
