At the end of the spring of the seventh year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, the Dongcheng District of the capital.

The streets are full of traffic, endless, red men and green women are bustling, and there are many teahouses, restaurants and shops on both sides, which are very lively.

When the fourth uglier was watched, the whole city had already been curfew, and the people had already fallen into a sound sleep, and the empty streets formed a world of difference from the daytime.

The moonlight is miserable and the night is dark, which seems to be even more lonely and lonely, which makes people feel nervous for a while.

Suddenly, there was another fierce wind, which obscured the murky moonlight with only a little luminosity, and immediately became dark, and the piercing wind whistle added a lot of strange horror to the street.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound came from afar, and despite the bad weather, it could not affect the pace of the husband.

The bright light of the shadow also began to appear at this moment, one tall and one short, and two watchmen side by side followed.

Tall men in their thirties, emaciated, carrying a gauze lantern in their right hand and the upper mouth of the lantern in their left hand to prevent the light from the wind that would guide them.

In the constantly shaking and dim light, he could still vaguely see his irritable and frowning brows: "Brother Liu Yan, what kind of weather the hell is this, it's really unbearable!" ”

The short man known as Liu Yan, who was in his fifties, was also holding a gauze lamp in his hand, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be very disapproving: "Brother Qin Xuan, if you want to open something, it's better than a thunderstorm." You've only been here for three days, and after a long time, you've slowly gotten used to it. ”

"Habit?" Qin Xuan snorted coldly, "I haven't worked as a husband before, I don't know how hard it is to do this business, but now I understand, at night, people are snoring, but we have to play with twelve points of spirit, lonely shadow, wandering on every street; During the day, people see all the flowers in the world, but we have to isolate ourselves from the world and hide in the bed to find Lord Zhou Gong to realize our dreams. What is this called? ”

"That's right, but so what? Then again, if we don't do this, we can't find any other livelihood, so the government never gives us a penny for our monthly wages. Look at me, I can't resist the vicissitudes of time, no matter how much I want this job, the government will no longer give me this chance......" Liu Yan's sighing voice became more and more desolate.

"......" Qin Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and immediately raised his head again.

Liu Yan, who was talking endlessly, had already opened the conversation box, and he didn't mean to stop it, so he didn't wait for Qin Xuan to speak, and continued to speak: "Brother Qin Xuan, Big Brother advises you, since you feel that you are useless in other aspects, you must cherish this job." Today is the last time my old man will accompany you on the shift, and all aspects of the place to pay attention to have been taught to you, and you will have to pick this ...... by yourself tomorrow night."

Liu ...... Liu...... Brother Liu Yan, that ...... What is that? Qin Xuan suddenly interrupted Liu Yan's words, his eyes widened, and his left hand pointed forward.

Liu Yan turned sideways and saw that Qin Xuan's soul was not possessed, it didn't seem like he was joking, so he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and quickly followed Qin Xuan's direction.

There was nothing but the darkness of the night.

Liu Yan felt that Qin Xuan was too timid and wanted to laugh, at this time, although there was already a curfew, in addition to the city guards and husbands who patrolled the city could move around at will, pregnant women who gave birth urgently asked for midwife, and critically ill patients asked doctors to grab medicine...... And so on, all of them can be released.

It is not surprising to say that on the street in the middle of the night, a person appeared: "Brother Qin Xuan, you are so cowardly, you can't do it, you ......"

"Ghost ...... Ghost ......" Qin Xuan didn't listen to Liu Yan's words, but hid behind Liu Yan's back, even more frightened than before.

Liu Yan shook his head helplessly, Qin Xuan is so timid as a mouse, I really don't know if he can be qualified for the life of a husband in the future?

At this moment, Liu Yan inadvertently glanced ahead, but there was a white light in his eyes.

Liu Yan was taken aback, obviously he didn't see anything just now...... Isn't there something wrong with your eyes?

Liu Yan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked ahead again, the white light was not only real, but also more and more clear.

It turned out that in front of him was a white figure with a shiny body and a cloak of hair, hanging in the air, with its back facing back, like a ghost, floating forward.

Liu Yan has been a husband for decades, but it is the first time to see this kind of creepy and strange scene, although his fear has risen sharply, but curiosity has outgrown fear, and his footsteps have not stopped, but followed closely.

Qin Xuan, who was still trembling, saw that Liu Yan not only didn't want to run away, but chased after him, and glanced at the dark night around him, and it didn't seem to be much less afraid of being alone than following up.

Qin Xuan hurriedly walked a few steps, and the yarn lamp in his hand was like a swing, swinging around constantly.

Qin Xuan walked all the way behind Liu Yan, and then followed closely.

An old man and a young man stared at the white figure, slowly and little by little......

Suddenly, the white figure stopped, and Liu Yan, who was walking in front, also quickly stopped, and at the same time stopped Qin Xuan, who had been trembling behind him.

The white figure stood stunned for half an hour, and then turned back in an instant......

Liu Yan chuckled, his heart seemed to be screwed by someone, and he took a few steps back, it was not a normal face, his eyes, nose and lips, and even his cheeks, all overflowed with bright red blood, and it flowed down.

Liu Yan has lived for more than fifty years, and it is the first time he has seen such a terrible scene, although he is not as panicked as Qin Xuan, but his hair can't help but stand on end, after all, in this vast black scene, there is such an extra thing, and whoever changes it may not be able to calm down.

Not only that, but what worries him the most is whether the white figure will come at them? Rushing over, how should they cope?

The wind seemed to be much lighter than before, but the atmosphere of fear still did not diminish much.

Liu Yan could feel his pounding heart, staring intently at the movement of the white figure......

Unexpectedly, the white figure did not rush towards them, but turned to the right and floated away.

Despite the black light, according to Liu Yan's usual memory, it was a deep alley.

Not long after walking, the white figure stopped again, slowly ascended, moved to the left, and suddenly extinguished the light in his body, as if swallowed by darkness, and disappeared in an instant.

Although Liu Yan tried to keep his eyes open, he couldn't see the strange white figure.

The wind stopped, although the surroundings were unusually quiet, but the darkness did not take away the slightest, Liu Yan could only rely on the gauze lamp in his hand to illuminate the place where the white figure disappeared.

However, this move was futile, because a mansion in front of Liu Yan blocked the way, and from then on, Liu Yan guessed that the white figure should have entered the mansion.
