When he was about to go out, Jian Su met the eyes of her mother-in-law, who was already over 70 years old, sitting at the door, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law talked about it again.

The mother-in-law said that if this continues, sooner or later she will be punished, but Jian Su didn't believe it.

The Yellowstone Guild is angry, and my mother-in-law is talking like this every day. But when the little shrine was torn down, nothing happened. Jian Su also went to see it, and finally entered the construction site. The shrine only bluffed with a loud roar, and it didn't even alarm the two black-black birds who were watching nearby.

According to the legend, Huang Shigong, who pointed out the Marquis Zhang Liang, has no more than that. Just as homespun cloth can never catch up with foreign cloth, faded clay gods can't beat brightly colored alien monsters.

Ah, yes, my husband said that this monster is not terrible, it is used to dig up the earth and open the mountains, just like a hoe and axe. It was brought by Mr. Kerson of England.

Listening to her husband's words, the mother-in-law started again. "Follow the foreign devils to create evil...... Sooner or later there will be retribution......"

Plain just don't believe.

Foreign devil, ah, no, it's the gentleman surnamed Jia—it should be surnamed Jia, right? But Jian Su didn't ask much—her husband went to work for him, and his wages were never in arrears, and he was paid on the same day, and it was cash. It's just that I don't have much time to go home, but every day someone brings news and a new ocean to the women and children left behind in the village.

"Mr. Jia is a good man! Treat the guys so well, they all say that he is comparable to Song Gongming of Shuibo Liangshan. "The person with the message is used to telling stories in the hotel, and he has some knowledge, and he has said so, there must be nothing to worry about.

Therefore, the note is not afraid of retribution at all. My mother-in-law is old and confused. Although she is the mother of two children, she is still young! She does not want to stick to this one-third of an acre of land all the time; she has already agreed with her husband that she has saved enough money to go to the city.

Go for a small business.

Yes, today is the day when the storyteller comes to the village. I haven't touched a single piece of the money I brought in last time. It's not about money.

She asked the one to come over and say that the teacher praised her eldest son for being very smart and hopeful of being admitted to the school next year. The youngest daughter has learned to fry eggs with perilla leaves, clamoring to make them for her father. She also wanted to ask if the work on the construction site was very hard and whether she could endure it, and when she would be allowed to come back to visit her relatives on leave.

Thinking like this, Jian Su walked quickly, and after a while, he saw the big stone at the entrance of the village. There was already a circle of people nearby, all of whom were young daughters-in-law from various families.

It's just that...... Why did they have such sad expressions on their faces? Ah, the child who was newly married this spring, who was not at all like a girl from a mountain village, had a sparkling face with tears? How she loved to laugh at all! Now, was she crying?

Jian Su squeezed in a few steps, and the storyteller who was surrounded in the middle turned his head, his always lively and vivid face, which seemed so stiff and sad at this time. "It's the daughter-in-law of the Qin family...... Please mourn and change ......"

Jian Su's eyes were dark, and he almost wanted to fall. I don't know who helped her up, she listened to the next words in a daze.

“...... This morning, the thirty-sixth man, it's gone......"

In a small town not far from Wenfang Mountain. In the kind of small shop that a vegetarian on the street hopes to have, the shopkeeper who has a braid on his head serves a bowl of pho, and at the same time says to the customer, half-casually and half-deliberately: "I heard that there is a mining disaster in the mountainous area, Miss Fei Jun wants to go and see it?"

However, the girl in her early twenties replied coldly: "The difficulty of destroying the mountain is beyond the strength of mortals such as us. The girl said, as if she couldn't wait, picked up a large chopsticks of pho, sucked it into her mouth quite happily despite the heat, and her voice became a little warm when she spoke again: "Also, don't call me Miss Fei Jun." The word Jun was originally a title. Plus the girl, it's too strange. ”

"What Miss Fei Jun said is true. The shopkeeper completely ignored the dissatisfaction in the girl's words, and said with a smile: "It's just that Miss Fei Jun has always been interested in these things, everyone says that it is the manifestation of Huangshi Gong, isn't this Miss Fei Jun's profession?"

"I said don't scream, Fei Jun is not my name at all...... Moreover, let's not talk about whether it has anything to do with Huangshi Gong, if there is a mining accident, it should be a matter of the police station, right?"

"How could the police station take care of it? This time, the owner of the mine is a foreigner, and it is too late to curry favor, so how can it take care of it? It's a pity that those 30 or so lives have been lost. Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's voice was a little lower, "It's all people in the mountain village, buried alive underneath, and it seems that none of them have been rescued." When the police went and came back, they only came to the conclusion that it was an 'accident'...... didn't mention that the foreigner had already put the miners in danger, and the compensation to the absenteeism family was only a dime a dime, and the people in the mountain village didn't know it, and they didn't make trouble, and they praised the foreigner. He doesn't have a big loss now. ”

The girl's face no longer had a leisurely and enjoyable expression, and after a long time, she said: "The so-called 'Huayi cannot live together, and people and ghosts cannot be allowed to merge', this statement seems to have some truth. ”

"Ah, Fei Jun can't bear it anymore? But this is in the text of the boycott of foreign religion back then, doesn't Fei Jun girl not like it?—— by the way, I heard that the foreigner is also a Christian. That's why I'm not afraid of Huang Shigong at all, and completely demolished the entire shrine, this kind of thing is done, is it bearable, but it's unbearable, Miss Fei Jun?"

There was no one to pick up.

It's just that under the white porcelain bowl, there are a few pieces of yellow paper. People, already gone.

The shopkeeper glanced out of the door, retracted his gaze, smiled wryly and muttered, "Barter again...... This time, it's a fortune charm...... I don't know if it works or not......," he said, almost complaining, but the shopkeeper carefully folded them and put them in his pocket. "Well, but this time, it's not an ordinary mountain demon tree charm to deal with......

Jian Su easily coaxed her little daughter to sleep, sat quietly, and looked out the window.

It was pitch black. Actually, you should be able to see the mountains. Half a year ago, even when I was a child, I could vaguely see the lights of the shrine, orange and yellow, flashing and flashing, reflecting the blue light of the fireflies nearby.

Now, there's nothing to see. I couldn't even see the glaring white light on the mine where my mother-in-law kept chattering a few days ago.

It is said to be a "landslide". I don't know much about it.

"The earth collapsed and the mountain destroyed the strong man to die ......" On the day, the storyteller said such a sentence of Wen Zou Zou very sadly, but it was imprinted in the heart of the note. For a few days, I had nightmares, and the dreams were full of rocks collapsing and the world being discolored, and I could hear my husband's voice calling for help, but I didn't see anyone helping me. Mr. Jia stood quietly aside, just watching quietly. In the end, there was no sound under the rubble...... Jian Su woke up suddenly.

No, isn't that Mr. Jia a great good man? How can he not be saved when he dies? It must be, there is nothing he can do.

It's Huang Shigong who is taking revenge.

The mother-in-law said that at this time, she did not look indignant as usual, only wiped her tears. "Huang Shigong, don't open your eyes, don't care about that foreign devil, what kind of anger do you sprinkle on the flat-headed people!"

I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't open my mouth. If Huang Shigong really has a spirit, he really doesn't have long eyes. However, Mr. Plus is not guilty of any sin in the end. I also paid money door-to-door, and I sent money and white rice and eggs, and the big guy accepted it, and I was a little unhappy in my heart. I always feel that it is not easy for Mr. Jia, and I heard him say that he has lost his capital, but he feels that he should not take advantage of the workers, so this compensation must not be less.

There is no man in charge, they are all new widowed women like Su, at most, but there is one more old man, even if you want to fight, what can you fight for? Moreover, Mr. Jia is just a red hair, a pair of blue eyes, and it is a little more terrifying, but when he speaks officially, he is very authentic, and he is so sincere, so touching tone, and even shed tears, he feels that he is a good person, and everyone has no intention of fighting for anything. With the money, I have to live this life. For a few days, the family was basically buried.

Except for the village head. The coffin stopped for several days. It was also yesterday that the funeral was held, and the people in the village worked together, because the night before yesterday, another coffin was added. Now, this family is gone.

This is also the only thing that the note is a little bit unable to put down.

In the family at the head of the village, the man died early, leaving only one daughter-in-law, and pulling his only son to grow up. The child is only sixteen years old this year, and he is very well-behaved and sensible. He is also very filial to his widowed mother. I feel sorry for my mother's hard work, and a few years ago, when I was young, I went up to the mountains to collect firewood and medicine to subsidize the family. When Mr. Jia came, the boy heard that the conditions in the mine were good and that he was making a lot of money, so he followed the mountain without persuasion. said that it can be regarded as making my mother happy.

That day, the storyteller brought bad news, and the one who was hit the hardest was the child's mother. Say anything, you have to settle accounts with Mr. Jia. Mr. Pingjia didn't listen to what he said, and said that the mine was not that good at all. Her son, Xiaoquan, was hungry and full in the mine, but he did not relax at all. In the village, everyone who saw it said that.

A few days later, Mr. Jia came to the village, and when he heard this, he became anxious, saying that this was a false accusation against him and that he wanted to talk about evidence. I didn't think that this mother would really take out a stack of letters. The storyteller remembered that Koizumi's mother was the daughter of Mr. Teach, and Koizumi also knew a few words, so every time he didn't need to say the storyteller's words, he wrote a trust for him to give to his mother. The storyteller opened the letter on the spot and read it to the big guys, word by word, saying "I never went hungry," "Mr. Jia saved the big guy," and so on.

That particularly gloomy evening, listening to the storyteller finish reading the letter, Koizumi and his mother said in a very cold tone: "Lao Xu, you don't understand, you read it wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" the storyteller wondered.

"Lao Xu, you, but from right to left, read it vertically?" Koizumi smiled, and his always gentle face became a little hideous and scary.

"Isn't that what you say......

The storyteller stopped halfway through his words, looked at Mr. Jia, and then at Koizumi and his mother.

"It's an accident......

Mr. Jia didn't know why, but he held the lamp and looked at it, but he didn't know what he saw, and immediately snatched the letter. His face was also extremely terrifying.

"I'm afraid Mr. Jia can see it, right? If you read it from left to right, ...... it is rampant," the woman's voice became poignant and sharp: "Mother, I'm so hungry! Mother, save me—— my son!

Jian Su and the villagers who were watching on the side, they didn't believe it, they didn't believe it, and they still had the money that Mr. Jia gave them in their hands. The storyteller came back to his senses and persuaded everyone to go back.

"Aunt Liu has been greatly stimulated, everyone should be more responsible, and Mr. Jia will settle down properly. ”

Hearing this, there was no one to mix, it was getting late, and everyone had children waiting to eat, so they went home, at most comforting Koizumi and his mother, but she was crying and shouting, and she couldn't listen to anything, and everyone gradually dispersed.

Early the next morning, I saw the storyteller say sadly, Xiaoquan damn it, it was better yesterday, and Mr. Jia was relieved to go back, but she still couldn't think about it, and she actually hanged herself.

When Koizumi's mother and son were buried, Mr. Ka cried very sadly.

Jian Su didn't think of Mr. Jia's distorted face that night, and his heart was cold.

Tonight, looking out the window at the pitch black, she felt as if she was shrouded in pitch darkness around her. That nightmare, and ......

I didn't believe my mother-in-law's words, but I couldn't help but read silently at this moment: Huang Shigong, you should also open your eyes and see what is going on on this mountain.

What is this girl doing in such a small town at such a young age?

The storyteller was waiting for the priest specially invited by Mr. Jia, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this girl, but he smiled and greeted him.

"The girl is going to the town ahead?—— I have heard that there has been a lot of evil in that place lately, and that a lot of people have died. Girl, you see it's not too early this day, so it's better not to go. ”

The girl was not bluffed at all. She looked the storyteller up and down carefully, and said, "Are you the person sent by Mr. Gakelsun?" is the same Mr. Xu Xiangwen who wrote the letter?"

"Well, then, little girl, ...... you?"

"I am the one Mr. Gakelsun is going to invite. ”

"Are you Fei Jun?" the storyteller looked surprised. Only then did he take a closer look at the girl in front of him. However, he is in his early twenties, although he is wearing a simple collared robe, and he also has what seems to be a sword and gourd hanging from his waist. But no matter how you say it, it is far from the rumored Fei Jun, who is good at driving away evil spirits and demons.

It seems that this time it was a mistake. Mr. Gakerson was almost broken down and asked him to go and ask the ghost-hunting priest to come. When the storyteller heard from the most well-informed gentleman in the city that this Fei Jun happened to be in the area of Wenfang Mountain, he thought that the nightmare of the past few days could be regarded as an end. But this overly young girl in front of her......

"I've heard it in the town these days, and Mr. Gakerson's plight is truly sympathetic. The girl didn't care about the storyteller's distrust, and walked forward, taking the lead in getting down to business. "However, although there are no police officers in this town, if there is such a big life lawsuit, the police station in the city does not care? Not to mention that Mr. Jakerson is a Christian, how could he think of inviting a priest? Could it be that Mr. Xu, you came up with the idea?"

This girl is not as simple as it seems. The storyteller couldn't answer for a while, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Although it was personally supervised by the detective captain of the police station...... But it still didn't work. To say that they are killing people does not look like something that ordinary people can do at all, so I wonder if it is the ghost who is haunting him......" The storyteller seemed to realize that he had leaked his words, and his face changed and he stopped.

"Ah, in this case, the town's statement that Mr. Gakelsun was retaliated against by the Duke of Huangshi for pushing the shrine is not credible. Originally, I was worried that Mr. Huang was in the immortal class and was not easy to deal with. If it's just a lonely ghost, it's easier. Even though the girl said this, the storyteller sensed that she did not show the slightest sign of relaxation. On the contrary, his tone was a little more harsh: "I just don't know what kind of unjust soul it is, and it is so much that it has claimed three lives of the Gakelsun family?"

"Ah, no, Fei Jun, it's good that you forgot about the villain's slip of the tongue. As you heard, it was the Yellowstone Male Apparition. Although it is difficult to deal with, the reward will not be less after the deed. The storyteller hurriedly explained.

The girl didn't seem to believe much. "Really? I thought it had something to do with the thirty-six lives in the nearby villages—oh no, I heard that another one had been added recently. Thirty-seven lives. The detective captain knew about this, and perhaps if he got to the bottom of it, Mr. Gakerson would not have to worry about the safety of his youngest child. ”

The storyteller was shocked when he heard this, but forced a smile and said: "Fei Jun said that it was a natural disaster in the village, so how can there be any unjust souls? Where do you have to bother the police station? It has nothing to do with Mr. Gakelsun." ”

The girl seemed to sneer and said no more.

The two were speechless for a while, and walked half a mile, and the storyteller couldn't bear it, so he said: "The letter is not clear, since Fei Jun is here, I will tell you what is going on, so as not to mislead Fei Jun by rumors." ”

Girls should not. The storyteller coughed dryly and began to speak.

"Mr. Gallsun originally opened a mine in Wenfang Mountain, and it was out of desperation that he pushed the shrine of Huangshi Gong, and he had no disrespect, and he originally planned to rebuild it afterwards. Later, when a mining accident occurred, Mr. Gakelsun put the matter on hold in order to compensate the miners' families and had no money left for a while. Now I have sincerely repented, and I only hope that the old man of Huangshi will forgive me. Alas, it's a pity that it was delayed.

"First of all, the eldest young master and the young lady, that evening they were going to play in the garden for a while as usual, and only then did they walk out the back door and ...... Alas, I said earlier that the Western stone carving is not suitable, that kind of big guy, still hanging on the outer wall, maybe it will fall down one day. The two children were unable to survive at the time, and they were not saved in the end......

"Besides, Mrs., the day after the child's accident, Mrs. had been crying in the room. Later, when he had figured out the door, he went into the garden, stood at the back door and looked at it for a while, and when he turned around, he struck the pillar beside him. By the time I came back to my senses and went to pull, it was too late......

"The detective captain said that the child's incident was just an accident, and the wife probably committed suicide. But Mr. Gakelsun would not listen. He was very kind-hearted, and he was originally upset because of Huangshigong's affairs, but later caught up with the mining disaster, and there was this incident at home......"

I see, and that's really sympathetic. The girl said abruptly, repeating. Then he turned his head to look at the storyteller. "But what about you? who were originally from that village, were you? who came to the town to help Mr. Galsun, and witnessed one tragedy after another, you—"

"Me?" said the storyteller, looking away, "I'm just an ordinary servant, what is there to say." ”

The mountain is not at peace after all.

If the shrine is still there, he only needs to take a hundred yuan, a pair of pens, and a pill of ink, and respectfully supply Huangshi Gong, and maybe there will be salvation. But now, there is no way out.

Even my mother-in-law, who has always had ideas, said the same.

Jian Su himself is nothing, but he heard that Mr. Jia has suffered misfortunes in the town, so he has a lot of things to help inquire. After all, Mr. Jia didn't do anything hurtful, and he killed his wife and children for no reason, which is really pitiful.

It's just that the mother-in-law has made a conclusion, and Huang Shigong will not easily forgive Mr. Jia from outside, the difficulty of the mountain destruction and the death of his relatives are probably out of warning, I can only say that this is the will of God......

But what about Koizumi's mother and son? Although she tried her best not to think about it, she still couldn't let go of it. Or maybe Mr. Jia did......

"Wow-"

Wait, what's that sound?

She was pulled back to reality by a strange scream, and looked around in horror. Although he has been walking cautiously on the path stepped by the villagers, it is inevitable that he will encounter wild boars and even lone wolves. What's more, this is already a relatively remote place, and there are not many people coming. If it weren't for the ,——fact that she hadn't wanted to use the money left by her husband in order to subsidize her family, she wouldn't have come here to dig herbs.

She clenched the firewood knife tightly, stood still, did not dare to make a sound, and prayed silently in her heart not to really let her meet anything. If even she falls, this family will really collapse......

After a short silence, there was a "whoa" sound. It sounded like it was coming from behind a bush not far away. The other party should not have discovered himself yet, and he didn't approach this way when he heard the sound. In short, it's better to stay out of the way.

The note took a half step back slightly, but unexpectedly there was still a "click" sound. The leaves of the bushes rattled, indicating that something was about to pop out.

He panicked and turned around and ran, but after a few steps, he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that there was nothing to catch up with. Look back.

It's not a beast at all.

Cautiously poking their heads out of the bushes, it was clear that they were several children.

He is not very old, his face is yellow and thin, and he looks very pitiful. There seemed to be tears on his face. Thinking about it this way, the sound of "wow" is indeed more like a human cry.

It seemed that the woman in front of him didn't look like a bad person, and a child hesitated and said, "That, that...... Yes...... Can you help us?"

is not a few years old from his own children, but he is so thin and pitiful. Jian Su had already softened his heart, and asked gently: "Which child are you? What's wrong?" Asking this, Jian Su thought to himself, these children are very raw, and they don't look like people from the village, don't they be from the other side of the mountain, right? If so, they are probably lost, and they don't know how to go back, and they are stuck in the mountains, right? The family is probably in a hurry.

"Big, big brother, he can't do it...... Help him, please!"

When Jian Su heard this, although she was surprised, she unequivocally asked these children to lead her to the eldest brother. The little ones, however, did not look like they were lost, and led her through the woods to a ...... A place that you will never forget.

It's a construction site. The construction site, which used to be quite lively, is now completely abandoned. There is no working monstrous machine, and all that remains is a dilapidated shed, which can be seen to be quite rudimentary even when it is in good condition.

How could it be...... Isn't Mr. Jia a great good man?

Confused, he saw the emaciated boy lying on a foliated mat. Is it Big Brother?

Saving lives matters. Ignoring the children's guidance, he stepped forward to probe the boy's forehead. However, she stopped halfway with her hand outstretched. It's not a headache or brain fever at all, this child is more emaciated than the others, and at all, he is hungry like this.

"Big brother, he...... If you have something to eat for us, you always say that you are not hungry...... Now, I can't get up, and I still refuse to eat......"

Another child holds a handful of fruit. "These are all for the eldest brother, he just doesn't want it. ”

"Even if you eat these, you can't ...... Alas. Jian Su sighed and took out a few dried buns from his baggage. "Just eat it with water, you guys. No matter how bad it is to come to the village under the mountain, although everyone is not having a good time, it will not even be able to help with this little thing. ”

Before the children could say thanks, they first fed the eldest brother.

It was only when they heard the second half of the sentence that they changed their faces one after another, revealing expressions of fear. "Village, village head? You, you were called by that devil?"

"No, Mr. Ga, he's gone to town a long time ago, not in the village. - Do you know Mr. Jia? You work in the mines, and why does he treat you like this?"

"That's how he treated us workers. Not to mention eating a full meal, even if you have something to eat, it is also good. The children also began to eat and were less rusty in their answers.

But he wasn't...... He pays a lot of wages, isn't it?"

"Are you also someone from your family who came to work in the mine? I'm afraid it's not because of the ......events of that day?" Seeing that Su's face changed, the child who answered hurriedly said: "I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid you didn't use much of the wages you sent, right?" The first few times the surname added to the salary was nothing, and after a long time, all the money given was counterfeit money that could not be spent. I think my mother also found out about this at the beginning and came to the door...... It's a pity that that day happened to be the night when the surnamed Jia was preparing to run away, everyone was drugged, and they slept soundly, and they were supposed to be loaded into the car and sent away. I ate little and slept lightly that night, and when I heard my mother's voice, I went out to see that the guy who was inferior to the beast actually ...... I can't coax my mother with quibbles, so I'll give her to ...... One shot ......" At this point, I couldn't cry.

Jian Su didn't care about coaxing the child. She stared blankly at the ruined mine. "What kind of business is Mr. Jia doing......

"Yes...... Sell us these...... Small workers. As if he had eaten something and gained strength, the boy lying on the leaves of the tree spoke weakly: "In the name of opening a mine, coax us to go up the mountain, dig a few places at will to build a mine, trick us into doing work for a while, and pay us wages." But we weren't allowed to go home. After a few months, we also got started with this work, and the wages he paid were gradually replaced by counterfeit money, and before the family could notice it, he took us to a distant place and sold it to the owner of the real mine. ...... A few of us, our homes are far away from here, and we should have been sent away a long time ago. However, he is young, learns quickly, and his movements are neat, so he will leave a few of us with this surname, and every time he changes places, he brings a new miner to familiarize himself with the work. didn't think about it, this time there was such a thing...... It's also a shame that he wanted to get some insurance in advance, and once those people died, they got a lot of money...... You, don't you lie to him too? This surname is not a good person, it is simply a blood-sucking ......."

"Blood-sucking ...... Plus ...... The surname is added, is this really the case?" Jian Su has already believed seven or eight points in his heart, but he still doesn't want to believe it all.

"You can take the money and go to the market to buy some things and try them, don't you know if it's real or fake?—— cough cough! cough cough ahem!

"Big brother, your illness is ...... again"

The boy smiled hard at the note. "You see, if there is any good life, how can I be like this? I am not saved, I only want them to ...... What's the use of our luck not being buried this time? Now we can't go back to home, I just hope you can take them to the village...... There is only one thing...... Don't run into ...... Ahem......"

"We're not leaving, we're not leaving!" several children panicked and said with tears in their voices.

"I understand, I understand, I'm going to settle accounts with them. But, all of you, hold on, let's go back to the village together," Jian Su tried his best not to cry, but he still wiped away his tears, and said, "I...... Go to the village and call someone to come first......"

Walking all the way down the mountain, Jian Su became more and more convinced that Mr. He Jia was not a good person at all. Otherwise, how could such a child be abused? How could a mother who had lost a child be pressed so hard? What the mother-in-law said was really right...... No wonder there will be retribution, it's not as simple as toppling the shrine......

It is not difficult to gather the villagers to go up the mountain to save people. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, angry at Mr. Wang's injustice, and even felt that the children were really pitiful, so they followed Jian Su to the mountain construction site.

But that's not right...... Jian Su looked at Xiao Dao, who was obviously different, and frowned. My heart is getting more and more uneasy. Someone, someone just came......

The moment they saw the construction site, a group of people couldn't scream for a while.

This is beyond the imagination of the note. More than anyone could have imagined.

The children who were still talking just now had their eyes wide open and were soaked in a pool of blood.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

Although the blonde child speaks foreign language, his pronunciation is the same as that of Chinese. However, Gakelsun didn't care much, waved his hand to signal the servant to lead the child away, just stared at the girl in front of him, and said with a little arrogance: "Is Your Excellency the rumored Fei Jun with strong spells?

The girl's eyes were taken away from the child who was taken out, and she said lightly: "I don't dare to use the magic high, as for the matter of getting rid of demons, I still need to judge at my discretion." ”

"Lao Xu thinks I've already told you—I've already told you. These two things are really strange, although the police also gave an explanation, after all, ......"

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. It's subtle and hard to understand, and it's natural to be unexpected. ”

"But it's too ...... time," said Galsun, whose face suddenly turned pale in the middle of his words, and stared at the door. "Moving...... Moved...... It's moving, it's moving......"

The girl also looked back, and saw that there was a string of brilliant copper coins hanging at the door of the room, which was shaking slightly, and chuckled: "This is okay, I think Mr. Gakersun got it from somewhere else." It's just that you don't know that this is the so-called money sword, but a Taoist magic weapon. Fang Shi can use it to catch ghosts and subdue demons, but it's useless for you to hang it here - I don't think there will be any master who leaves a magic weapon but is useless to exorcise evil spirits, at first glance, it is a layman who takes advantage of it and thinks it is hung up, or is it a charlatan who uses this thing to coax people to cheat people out of money, am I right?"

"Ah, so, you mean...... Isn't that meant to point out evil spirits? I thought it was ...... Ah, yes, you're right, I'm fooled. Gakelsun's face improved a little, and he added: "But I do think that there is something unclean in the house, either a strange sound, or ...... In short, that's what Huang Shigong did, right? Fei Jun has a way to deal with it?"

"Huang Shi Gong has his own special method, you don't have to worry. However, although the old man Huang Shi has a strange temper, he does not like to kill, I am afraid that this is not in line with your situation?"

"Well, it's probably because I'm not of your own kind that I'm in this trouble. The first two times were my wife and children who replaced me, but don't you Chinese also have a saying that 'things are not more than three'? Fei Jun, you must save my life. I can still ask bodyguards to resist falling rocks and the like, but if the evil touches the pillar and dies, I will only commit suicide, and I will have to ...... If you can't find out, won't you be wronged?"

"Oh, your wife and children are dead. ”

Gakersun didn't taste right when he heard this, but he didn't have time to think about it, and then took out a box. "When it is done, the reward will not be less. ”

"Leave the remuneration aside. It's just that, Mr. Gakelsun, since I entered the house, I have not felt the slightest bit of Huang Shigong's immortal aura, but ......" The girl's face sank, "I heard the roar of the mountain and the cry of ghosts! Didn't you say that the stone sculpture was pushed down by an unjust spirit? Your wife is not ......" Seeing the movement of the man in front of her, she only raised her eyebrows, and stopped.

Gakerson's action of pulling out his gun was extremely neat. Seeing that the girl was no longer speechless, she said coldly: "You don't care about anything, and I don't want to know what killed my wife and children." I just want to save my life, and I ask Fei Jun for some advice. ”

"It's not hard to save your life. It's just Ling Lang, and the helper here......"

"If they also pay you, I naturally don't mind if you help one more person - my child, naturally stay with me all the time, and saving my life is also saving him, or does Fei Jun not understand?"

"I'll understand what to expect when I see this. Although the girl said this, she did not show any timidity, but said: "However, I think that the soul is in the heart of Mr. Gakelson, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the helper." If Mr. Gakelsun had left all his possessions and servants and left here with only Linglang, I don't think the unjust soul would have been able to catch up. ”

"All the property, you can't!"

"Gold and silver are nothing but things outside the body, and they are still inferior to life after all. Besides, this matter is because of money, so why should you be so obsessed with money?"

"This ......" Gakelsun had a look on his face, but he did not refute the theory of unjust souls.

"If you want to surpass the undead and resolve the calamity, it is easiest to use money...... Ah, what are you doing here?"

There was still blood gushing from her shoulder, but the girl asked calmly as if she didn't care.

Gakelsun had a hideous face. "Are you a fake? Is it from the village? It turns out that you are looking for me to blackmail money? You are afraid that you have miscalculated. I thought you would accept this idea when you saw what happened to those people, which side do you think the police will be on?"

"Well, it's not just the thirty-seven people. The girl's eyes darkened, and she ignored Galsun's threat, but pulled out a few pieces of rune paper. "Then if they want to die, I am afraid it will take even more energy, not only can it cause the difficulty of destroying the mountain, maybe, but also the resentful spirit that has been entangled for a long time and has amazing power, not to mention ......" The words seemed to seriously help Galsun.

Seeing the unfamiliar rune paper, Gakelsun hurriedly turned to smile and said: "Fang is my impulse, and I will ask Lao Xu to bandage Fei Jun later." There must be no problem with Fei Jun's shot, I will arrest it-ah, please invite several Fang Shi to say this, just because your surname is Fei......"

The girl interrupted him: "You trust Lao Xu very much, isn't he just a helper?"

"Eh?" replied Gakelsun, who did not know why, "although he is a domestic servant, he is also my assistant, and he has not been with me for a long time, but he is also a trustworthy person, and he is rarely neat...... In this way, Fei Jun, please also save Lao Xu's life. ”

The request was still made with a pistol.

The girl didn't think it was wrong, but said, "It's just a small thing." - Do you really care about how your wife and children died?" said and frowned and looked at the door.

"It's all done by ghosts, so what? If there is a murderer, the detective captain can't find out? I interrogated Lao Xu back and forth so many times, and finally said that it was an accident and a suicide. There's no point in tracking it down. ”

"In other words, you only need your life......"

"And all my possessions, not a single cent of them can be lost. Gakerson hurriedly added, "Although the reward will not be small, I will never accept the additional cost." ”

After hearing this, the girl pondered for a moment and said: "The so-called bell must be tied to the bell, and to eradicate this problem, the second step is to practice in Huaxia...... The first step is to return to the devastated land. ”

Met with Gakelson's frightened gaze, the girl said word by word, "You need to transcend those souls yourself." ”

Jian Su didn't expect to see that foreigner again. Although he wore a hat to cover his face, he still recognized her.

But when I really saw him, I didn't know how to face him at all. Do you want anything? He owes too much to everyone, but ...... She's scared, too. I'm afraid that I will end up with those children.

So just pretend not to notice.

She glanced at a few people in her group, and everyone nodded slightly tacitly, and then walked forward pretending not to know.

"Don't worry. You take this. When Jian Su passed by the foreigner and his party, he heard someone say this. She turned her head with a little shock, and saw only the side face of a young girl, her complexion was snow-white, but it was not as foreign as a foreigner. Before she could figure out whether the girl was speaking to herself, the other party grabbed her hand, let go, and walked away quickly.

The note waited for them to go away—looking like they were heading into the mountains—and looked at what had been stuffed into their hands.

The yellow paper, with something zigzag on it, was also stamped with a square stamp, bright red, which made Jian Su think of the children before. A person like my mother-in-law, who is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was also stunned after hearing it that day. It shows the cruelty and treachery of this foreigner.

The girl walked with the foreigner, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad, and she handed over the things plainly......

I still have to ask my mother-in-law. - If you had believed in your mother-in-law earlier, you would not have taken fake money and worked hard, let alone lost your life.

to the house. The mother-in-law was still leaning on the rattan chair where she was used to sitting, and when she saw the note, she snorted indistinctly.

Since the death of several children on that day, my mother-in-law's energy has deteriorated day by day.

Jian Su sighed lightly, and told the eldest son to help his daughter make a fire and cook—he couldn't study—he went to put down the green vegetables picked by the firewood first, and poured a bowl of hot water and sent it to his mother-in-law, and at the same time took out the yellow paper.

"Ah, Su'er, you're back. Mother-in-law's sentence seems to have a deep meaning at this moment. She looked at the note for a long time, and then looked away, but it was nailed to the yellow paper and did not move. "It's not ...... Su Er, where did you get it?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was emotional, she couldn't help but be surprised, but she still said it as it was, and secretly thought that the girl probably sent the talisman out of some kindness, but she didn't know how to mix with foreigners, and she was afraid that she had been deceived.

"Well, little girl. How could she be with a foreigner? This is too humiliating for her Fei family's style. It's really a little more than a thing. The mother-in-law shook her head and reproached, and then said, "However, this evil charm is genuine." What's more, there is the seal of her Fei family. We don't need these many talismans, Su'er, you can give them to the people in the village and teach them to stick them on the threshold. ”

Mother-in-law has always had a lot of opinions on this sacrifice to exorcise evil spirits. Jian Su was naturally convinced, and went out of the door with a promise, and when he left, he told the two children and the old man to eat first, and there was no need to wait for her.

When I came back, my mother-in-law was no longer on the wicker chair.

Jian Su entered the house, the food was already set on the table, and seeing that it was the little daughter who fried it, he couldn't help but feel relieved. But soon thinking of his eldest son dropping out of school, he couldn't help but sigh. After all, he was deceived, and so was his poor husband......

The two children probably heard the commotion and ran out of the back room screaming for joy. The daughter talked about how she stir-fried the vegetables, but the son was on the side, waiting for the vegetarian to finish eating, and then said, "Mother-in-law is out." ”

Jian Su was anxious: "Go out, where did she go, and it was going to be dark......

"Mother-in-law said don't tell my mother yet. She went to the mountains, and she said she would be back soon, but now she didn't ......" The youngest daughter rushed to explain, but in the end, her face also showed worry.

"Mother goes to find the mother-in-law, you two, wait at home obediently. Mother will be back soon. Jian Su also felt that it was wrong, and simply comforted, and was also worried that it would be unsafe for her mother-in-law to go to the mountains at such an age. What's more, the foreigners also went to the mountains......

Thinking that he could not delay, Jian Su immediately left home, walked all the way quickly, and entered the mountain not long after.

Intuitively, he walked to the construction site.

Seeing that he had passed through the bush, he heard what seemed to be someone talking on the construction site. She hesitated for a moment to decide whether to step forward or not, and then felt her sleeve tugged at her.

When Jian Su looked back, it was her mother-in-law. She was hiding behind the bushes, and at this time she was holding on to her plain clothes and motioned for her to squat, and did not speak, staring intently at the construction site through the gaps in the leaves.

He also learned to look at the past. On the construction site was the foreigner, in addition to the foreigner, there was also the young girl, a blonde child of seven or eight years old, and ...... And the storyteller - now that everyone is considered a public enemy, the old house in the village has long since been demolished. I heard that even his ancestral grave was ruined. There were also several strong men, leading pigs and sheep, holding the coins, and one of them was ready to make a fire.

"Mother-in-law, this is ......"

"Su'er, you watch. I'll see how this foolish girl can overcome the calamity. It's really a bull's head and a horse's mouth. ”

The mother-in-law's voice seemed too loud, causing the girl to glance in this direction. Jian Su was nervous and stopped talking, and her mother-in-law quieted down.

At this time, the voice of the person on the construction site was particularly clear.

The foreigner said first: "I have purchased all the things that Fei Jun requested, and the rest is all up to your instructions." ”

The girl seemed to be the Fei Jun he mentioned, and responded: "Naturally." Immediately, he took out a few pieces of yellow paper, folded them into triangles, and pasted them on his body without knowing what method he used.

The foreigners on the side also seemed to want to grab a few, but they didn't make any action after all. The child giggled and entertained himself, and the storyteller was unmoved.

The girl pasted the talisman paper, and then ordered several big men to slaughter pigs and sheep. He burned the coins one by one, and his lips moved, as if he was muttering something.

The mother-in-law snorted in a low voice, "It's still a little bit like that." But the girl seemed to notice it again, and looked this way again, this time without immediately looking away. Instead, it was as if he had really seen the two of them, staring straight at them, still with words in his mouth.

The mother-in-law said no more.

After a long time, the blood of pigs and sheep has dried up, and the dark coins have been burned out. The girl pulled out her long sword from her waist, drew a figure that seemed to be round and not round in the air, accompanied by a loud shout, as if she had lost her strength, covered her shoulder with one hand, supported by a sword, barely stood firm, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Gakelsun, now you don't have to worry." ”

She only thought she had a strange smile. The mother-in-law shook her head on the side.

The foreigner was really happy and asked, "So, this time is a disaster that will never come back?"

"Of course. ”

"Thank you Fei Jun for that. I thought it would be difficult to go over in person, but it turned out that I had to buy the sacrifice myself...... If that alchemist had said it clearly, how could I have taken his magic weapon and injured his life? haha......" The foreigner was so happy for a while that he couldn't hold back his mouth. I didn't notice the girl's expression change at all, and I didn't notice that my mother-in-law was already full of anger.

"That's enough for you. The girl said lightly, interrupting the foreigner's increasingly unbridled laughter.

"Good, good. So, Fei Jun, what is that Huangshi Gong ......" The foreigner asked again as if he remembered something. "Shouldn't you worry?"

"Huangshi Gong...... It's been a long time since you don't have divine power, so you don't have to worry about it......"

Before the girl's words fell, her mother-in-law was furious and shouted, "Presumptuous!"

However, the note does not have to worry about being discovered by foreigners. Because at the same time, the ground under his feet began to shake violently, and the surrounding rocks were also shaking, and the middle of the construction site had been buried by large stones.

For a moment, Jian Su felt as if she was back in the nightmare that she had done a thousand times, and she was in a trance, and she didn't care where she and her mother-in-law were.

When she came to her senses again, her mother-in-law was still around. However, the whole mountain has changed its appearance.

The construction site was also completely destroyed. A few strong men were nowhere to be seen. The girl who cast the spell was half-leaning on the root of the tree next to her, and she didn't seem to be seriously injured, but just looked at the two of them, who had lost their cover. It's okay to look at.

He looked to the other side and gasped.

The foreigner and the blonde child fell together, but their bodies were crushed by the boulder, and both of them remained motionless, as if they had lost their breath. I should be glad that my husband's death was avenged...... But she didn't feel joy at all.

Or is it because of the storyteller?

He was not hurt, but he lay down on the boulder and wept bitterly.

It's winter.

The whole mountain has faded in color, and only the newly renovated shrine is shiny and looks out of place. It feels a bit like a machine driven into the mountains by foreigners half a year ago.

It's just that the incense of the shrine has never been broken. Everyone said that it must have been the Huangshi Gong apparition that day, so that the villain Gakelsun died unexpectedly and cut off his children and grandchildren. Some people even say that the storyteller later committed suicide by throwing himself into the river was also the will of Huang Shigong. He can actually see it clearly.

Moreover, after the remodeling of the Huangshi statue, the village gradually settled down. This winter, it snowed again heavily. No matter how you look at it, it's a good sign.

It was snowing again. Although the croppers were happy in their hearts, they did not dare to go into the mountains in this weather.

It's only Miss Fei Jun who messes around like this...... In the pho shop, the shopkeeper quietly looked at the shadow of the mountain in the distance and couldn't help but think.

At this time, the girl he was thinking about was in front of the shrine, pacing leisurely and enjoying the snow. I don't know if it's intentional or not, she didn't pay attention to the soft clicking sound on the other side of the path. When she turned around and saw the visitor, her face naturally showed surprise.

"I didn't expect you to make the appointment...... I'm worried about your refusal. The girl said with a slight smile.

The person who came snorted and said, "It's also the descendant of Fei Changfang that I underestimated." Although there is no rune paper that drives away ghosts and gods, it is not useless. ”

"Not necessarily. - But it's true, to you Huangshi Gong, I can't use a mortal to be strong. I'm glad you did. Does that mean that you agree to leave this mother-in-law?"

The person who came was Jian Su's mother-in-law, a well-known old man in the village.

After listening to the girl's words, she didn't refute it, but said: "Even if you maintain the status quo, it's okay." ”

"Ah, are you nostalgic for life on earth?"

"It's not easy for the family either. ”

The girl shook her head and said, "Sister Jian Su may not have thought about it like this, but if her mother-in-law dies, she will be more relaxed." ”

The old man sighed, "I shouldn't have done this at the time. ”

"You lost the shrine at that time, and there was nowhere to go, and it just so happened that this mother-in-law was dying, and it was understandable that you would occupy her body for the time being. Besides, I have heard that this mother-in-law has always respected you, and if she had known about it, she would not blame you. ”

Naturally, she didn't dare. She ......" After the old man said this, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he quickly stopped.

"Alas, it's just that you caused the destruction of the mountain and killed those thirty-six lives, which is really inappropriate. implicated a mother who committed suicide by hanging herself, and several children died early, and even more lost her godhead. The girl still shook her head, "Although this foreigner is hateful, his family is ruined, and he ...... with you."

The mountain wind suddenly rose, and the old man turned his back and said coldly: "Little girl, don't say such things, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven? As for the destruction of foreigners' homes, I have never heard of it, and it is really strange that it was planted on me. ”

"You are not wrong to say that, in the final analysis, this gentleman will not die well. But I always think that even if the storyteller is a murderer in our mortal sense, all the motives are still inseparable from the mining disaster. ”

"It's just that his greed is not thorough enough—he still has a little conscience. ”

"Is it really called conscience? I don't feel uneasy about helping foreigners squeeze the blood and sweat of my fellow villagers, but I decided to draw a line with foreigners when I caused a lot of trouble. Relying on the trust of foreigners in him, he pushed down the stone statue and smashed innocent children to death, killed the mother who lost his children, and carefully disguised the illusion of accident and suicide, and lied to the police without changing his face, and did not even have the courage to turn himself in, let alone apologize to the villagers - if there is any merit, there is only one thing: the amount of money he has hidden is so large that he can build such a magnificent shrine. What else did he do? The culprit was not eliminated by him, but he cried when he saw his former employer die. I really can't see my conscience. He's just a pathetic man who is extremely selfish. ”

"Yes, I've been gone for a long time, and I don't know much about that. The old man stroked the pillars of the shrine and said blankly.

"You know that. It's the same for you. Cause two mountain destroys to get rid of those who have offended you. We worldly people are all too familiar with this kind of method. ”

"So, do you really want to ask the teacher for sin......? Bite off more than one can chew. "The snow on the ground seems to be shaking slightly.

"Look at you, aren't you angry again, thinking that mortals are far inferior to yourself, and that authority cannot be challenged...... Therefore, instead of even letting those dead die in peace, they ...... They were driven to provoke the villagers to make trouble, intending to attract the foreigner, and even ordered them to pester the psychologically fragile storyteller...... I just hope that I can get rid of Gakersun with my own hands, right?"

"So, the amulet is also aimed at me? Is the ritual of that day also to take away those ghosts and weaken my power? You don't want to exorcise the aliens, but want to ...... me."

"I am not qualified to judge you. You've cleared up a lot of confusion for me. The deceased cannot come back, no matter how innocent they are. It's just that you, like I said at the beginning, should go back. ”

Fei Jun looked directly at the old man's cloudy eyes and repeated, "Please go back, Huangshi Gong." ”

"You, think you're ......" The old man's eyes widened, and the snow rolled up in all directions, but in a moment, it fell suddenly. The old man's eyes showed a little frightened and stunned, and he gradually lost his lustre. This body also slowly fell.

The old man's voice was still echoing: "...... Do you think that's the truth? That foreigner was already facing a financial crisis before he came here, and the insurance money is a lot of money, even I know it...... Where is there such a great power for an outsider like me......"

"Is it so......" the girl seemed to mutter, but she was unmoved, holding a sword in one hand and stabbing it in the air.

In the snow, a wisp of smoke could be faintly seen, drifting towards the shrine. After a while, the statue in the shrine, which was originally slightly sluggish, shook slightly, showing a different kind of brilliance.

The whole mountain seems to be very solemn and peaceful at this moment, if God blesses.

It's as if it never showed its fangs and hurt people.
