The rain stopped in the evening, and as soon as the sky cleared, it was like a burning cloud, and the air was thick, and although it was spring, it was very humid.

The low recess of the alley had long been filled with water, forming a shallow stream, which continued to flow from afar until it met the one on the main street.

Jiumu jumped around with his skirt trying to find a clean place to settle down, and after a struggle, the hem of his clothes was still splashed with a lot of mud.

"The southeast of Jiangzhou, the southeast is the outermost place in Jiangzhou City, and then you go out is a piece of barren grass." Sikong turned into a literary bird and landed on Jiuki's shoulders so that he didn't have to dirty his feet.

"That's right, the northwest convenience directly opposite is Wangjing Mountain, and Tianchengguan is there."

"Aha, I deliberately chose a remote place."

Of course, the choice of the right place is not to avoid the eyes of many people, since the swallow house will have a ten-year lifespan, this matter does not seem too difficult.

But neither of them expected that the swallow house was so easy to find.

The southeast corner is the closest to the city edge next to the city wall, and there is a plaque hanging high on the door, and the words "swallow house" are written, and there is quite a posture of three hundred taels of silver here.

At this time, the star curtain was replaced, and the smell around it was no longer earthy.

The white bird flies up to the wall, observes carefully, and looks left and right It is also an ordinary yard, a bamboo rockery, nothing unusual.

"Kuki, did we make a mistake?"

"This says Swallow House, is there a second fool with this name? You go in and have a look. ”

Not long after Sikong flew into the courtyard, Kuki hid behind the doorpost, and with a click, the red door opened, and she clung to the wall to avoid being seen.

Someone came out of the courtyard first, and Jiu Mu Fang wanted to follow, but he found that there was another one behind.

No, not just one, it's five people.

The five men put their hands on the shoulders of the first man and followed him, neither looking back nor looking left or right.

"Why aren't these five people very tall?"

She followed the five men down the street, thinking that if they did something bad, they would be cut off with a sword.

But they walked like a bend, turning east and west around the sparsely populated streets, and the main street was not half a step into it, and after turning around, they returned to the swallow house with Jiumu.

It was dark, and the alley was even darker, and I could barely see the figure and the simple and obvious movements, if it was really strange, it was only a faint strange smell mixed in the air.

As for whether they spoke or their expressions, Jiumu couldn't see it clearly, maybe Boss Lin was already suspicious, and he couldn't say if he deliberately took people in circles.

The little white figure looked for a long time before falling back to Jiumu's shoulder, "I don't see any difference, but there are many rooms, except for one, the others are not lit." ”

"Anyway, there must be something wrong, why don't we just rush in and find out?"

"No, I'll go back today, it's just raining and it's quite wet, I'm afraid your sword won't be able to be used."

"Yes."

Jiumu dragged the sword wrapped in white cloth while running, it turned out that Sikong had a really good memory, and he had already forgotten all the words that Si Liang told him not to use in the rain.

Sikong hesitated slightly, as if he had been pondering for a long time before saying something: "Actually, it's not impossible for me to go up." ”

"No, you don't! You don't need to go up, although there are few courtyards in the corners of the city, but if you step on the city wall again, the ghost knows how much life you will lose! ”

Jiu Mu remembered that the giant beast that trampled on the forest that day was really scared, he was originally here to repay the debt, if the debt was added to the debt, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss!

The two of them slowed down when they reached the city's main street, surrounded by taverns and restaurants, and a long string of flaming red lanterns reflected in the puddles of water, making the street brighter.

A burst of green smoke rose up, and Sikong turned back into a child, slowly walking behind Jiumu.

The ghost is angry, and there are really few living people.

The old man in front of him blocked Jiumu's way, took out a porcelain bowl with broken horns and turned it around, and the black silver coins inside clanged on the bowl.

"This little master, I don't know if I can reward the old slave with a bite to eat?"

"It's a ghost."

Of course it's a ghost, but it's still a ghost that doesn't have any popularity at all.

"No money."

She whispered this sentence and wanted to leave, but the old man grabbed the white cloth wrapped in the sword on Jiumu's back, raised his eyes and said, "This is okay." ”

Jiumu grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and a strange smell of choking came to the surface, and after facing the old man's face, he paused for a moment.

Only one eye hung down in the old man's wrinkled face.

It's not unusual how many eyes there are in the monster, but it's strange that this eye is very similar to the one seen in the Nine Wood Pharmacy.

Could it be that the eyeball is his?

"I don't know what to do." She jerked her hand back, grabbed the old man's head and pressed it to the ground, making a splash in the pit.

She wanted to fight violence with violence, and by the way, she asked something from his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the "people" gradually surrounded by them, although they all have two eyes and one nose, but the smell is stinky, and they are obviously not real people.

"Why are you bullying an old man?"

"He's just a begger."

"Young and strong, so vicious!"

It doesn't take long to go from whispering to shouting accusations, and it only takes one to start with a myriad of followers.

The old striated face was caught in someone's hand, opened his mouth to reveal his throat with a black hole, and said in a strange tone: "That's it, they just bullied me a stinky old man, and if they don't give some money, they will hurt people!" ”

Hearing these voices, Jiumu was so annoyed for some reason, and a wave of energy came to his hand to crush the old man's head.

It's a ghost, and it's so wanton!

As a martial god, she is already rude, no matter what kind of demon he is, killing him is to eliminate harm for the people!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps treading water slowly approached the group of people, "What's so lively?" ”

As soon as the crisp and pleasant male voice came out, the people surrounding him turned around together, their faces showed consternation, and they instantly melted into the red light of the lantern and became a flow of people.

Jiumu raised his eyes slightly gloomily, first the turquoise clothes, and then the delicate face reflected in his eyes.

"Is that him?"

Xu Renqing held a red paper umbrella on his left, a lantern with white light in his right hand, and a warm smile on his face as usual.

The ghost in Jiumu's hand took advantage of Jiumu's shaking spirit, and quietly melted into the puddle of water in her hand and disappeared without a trace.

"Renqing was worried that it would rain again, so she specially came to find Ah Jiu to send an umbrella, and it happened that I met it here."

He walked up to Jiumu, leaned over to sweep away the stains on her dress that had been splashed by the big movement, glanced back by the way, and asked indifferently, "What about your aunt's eldest child?" ”

Jiumu also looked behind him, what about people? Why are people gone?

Could it be that Jiu Mu pulled out the posture to get rid of the demon and scared it away?

Jiumu frowned, and said without anger, "If you lose it, you will lose it, and let the evil ghost eat it." ”

Xu Renqing tilted his head, although he didn't understand what she meant, he still stretched out an umbrella and put it on her head.

"Ah Jiu, be careful of getting wet."

She poked her head out to look at the sky, a strand of broken hair fell on her white neck, obviously there was not even a cloud, so she asked curiously: "The stars and the moon are so bright, you can see that the sky is clear, how can it rain?" ”

Although Jiumu asked, he also carefully untied the sword belt, held it in his arms, and slowly approached Xu Renqing.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be down in a while."

As soon as he said this, the sound of rain knocking on the umbrella sounded, and the surrounding puddles also rippled, and the candle lights reflected were broken into countless pieces.
