Chapter 1: The Hanged Man

Next Chapter

There is a strange thing in Xiaoshan Village.

Passers-by who stayed in the village mysteriously disappeared that night.

……

Under the darkness of the night.

Jiang Chaoge walked on the dirt road without grass roots, listening to the neighing of crows on the dead trees, and looking around with a pair of empty eyes.

Not surprisingly, he was lost!

But his luck seemed to be good, and two hours later he saw a figure who was also in a hurry at night.

It was a young scholar, carrying a half-human-high 'bamboo box' and a gray-blue Confucian shirt, similar to Ning Caichen's dress in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Hey, brother, do you know what age it is?" Jiang Chaoge waved his hand enthusiastically at the scholar.

However, the scholar ignored him and walked on his own.

Jiang Chaoge was not discouraged, and immediately changed to a way of following the customs: "This brother, Xiaosheng unfortunately got lost, and I don't know if there are villages around?" ”

However, there was still no response.

So, Jiang Chaoge could only stop in front of the scholar: "Brother Tai, the mountain road is slippery, why don't you go together?" Don't worry, I'm also a reader! ”

first close the distance between each other as 'readers', and then plot against each other.

It's a pity that Jiang Chaoge's plan did not succeed.

Because, the scholar went directly through his body!

"Wear ...... Walked through? ”

Jiang Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and then, his back was slightly cold.

"I'm a ghost!!"

There are ghosts in this world?

In an instant, his materialist three views were directly subverted, but fortunately, this ghost scholar didn't seem to mean to harm him.

"But why can I see ghosts?"

"Could it be because I have just crossed into this world, and the three souls and seven spirits have not yet been condensed, so I can see some 'yin things'?"

Since such a bizarre thing has happened, then, walking at night and meeting a ghost...... Reasonable, right?

Jiang Chaoge's psychological quality has always been excellent.

He just had a little shaky legs.

Not a big problem!

And, very quickly, he had a flash of inspiration.

Since the ghost scholar appears here, does it mean that there is a nearby village?

"Anyway, this ghost scholar doesn't mean to harm me, why don't you try to follow him first, perhaps, just walk out of this mountain?"

Jiang Chaoge had been in the mountains for two hours, and finally a 'tour guide' came, even if it was a ghost, he was not ready to let it go.

He immediately followed the ghost scholar.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Came to an old stone bridge, there is a dead tree next to the stone bridge, and there is a ground monument at the head of the bridge, on which are written three big characters - Xiaoshan Village.

"Did you really find a village?" Jiang Chaoge was overjoyed.

Although, the village in front of me was shrouded in darkness, there was not a single light lit in the village, and no dogs were heard barking, and it felt a little desolate, but it was indeed a village.

Seeing that the ghost scholar went straight into the village, he immediately followed.

Then, he saw the ghost scholar enter the courtyard of a farmer's house.

It looks like it's ready to knock on the door.

"A ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night? This family shouldn't have done a good job! I wonder if it's a widow? "Jiang Chaoge is actually more curious, can a ghost knock on the door?

"Knock knock!"

The wooden door responded.

"Who?" A woman's voice sounded, followed by another scolding: "Dead ghost, I stole it at noon, and now I come again?" Don't know how to go through the back door? ”

Is she really a widow? And you like to let the 'ghost' go through the back door?

Jiang Chaoge doesn't have any special hobbies, he just wants to see what kind of exaggerated expression the little widow will show when she opens the door and finds that the door is "empty"?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the ghost scholar speak.

"I'm really sorry to disturb my sister-in-law in the middle of the night. Xiaosheng is a Xiucai from Linhe Village, thirty miles away, surnamed Liang, whose name is Ping'an, because he rushed to Huai'an County to participate in the township test, so he missed the dormitory and wanted to spend the night at his sister-in-law's house. ”

What's going on? Can the ghosts of this world talk to people directly?

Jiang Chaoge felt that something was wrong.

But by this time the wooden door had been opened, and a little widow in a rag gown, with a beautiful appearance, peach blossoms in her eyes, and a figure of lower figure, leaned out of it.

"Yo, he's really a scholar, he looks weird and delicate, not like those vulgar martial artists." When the little widow saw the scholar, she immediately leaned out her figure completely: "Sister-in-law's house has just cooked white and tender tofu, do you want Xiaoxiu to come in and take a bite before continuing to hurry?" ”

"No...... No more trouble. Liang Ping'an's eyes dodged, and he shook his head again and again: "Xiaosheng has prepared his own dry food, and he just wants to spend the night, if it is convenient for his sister-in-law......"

"It's convenient, sister-in-law is very convenient today! It's just, Xiao Xiucai, really don't eat tofu? It's big and white! ”

"No...... Don't eat. ”

"Hmph, just forget it if you don't eat it!" The attitude of the little widow, who was rejected twice, changed in vain: "Xiaoshan Village will not accept outsiders, let's go!" ”

"Phew!"

The door is closed.

……

Xiaoshan Village is still very dark.

Liang Ping'an, who was turned away, sighed and left in front of the little widow's door stupidly.

He walked to the second house.

Second knock on the door.

“……”

"Let's go, outsiders are not welcome in Xiaoshan Village!"

Not far away, there was a shouting and scolding.

This time, it was a kind-looking and seemingly innocent old man who refused him to stay overnight, and the other party also asked Liang Ping'an's family by the way.

“……”

"Go out, what kind of scholar, want to spend the night...... There are no doors! ”

“……”

"Roll on, show talent? Don't say you're just a showman...... Even if someone comes, you won't be able to enter the door of my Zhang Ergou's house! ”

“……”

Liang Ping'an kept knocking on the door, but he was constantly rejected, and gradually went farther and farther.

And at the door of the little widow.

Jiang Chaoge stood stiffly in place.

Because, he finally knew that something was wrong.

If the little widow can see Liang Ping'an and talk to Liang Ping'an, then who is the ghost?

"I'm the ghost?!"

Even if his psychological quality is excellent, Jiang Chaoge is about to collapse.

What can a ghost do?

Wash and wash, and then, find a good family to reincarnate?

Wait, reincarnation!!

"Is there a possibility that I crossed a little earlier, and my host has not yet 'died', so I haven't completed the 'seizure' for the time being?"

Jiang Chaoge has read a lot of novels in the previous world, and the beginning will give the protagonist some pressure, and there are many people who come up and go to the prison cell, but no matter how it is, it is impossible to become a ghost, right?

When pigs fly!

His subconscious still wanted to struggle a little more.

"It's just that if I'm really early, then who am I going to take?"

Could it be......

Liang Ping'an!!

That's right, it's Liang Ping'an!

Otherwise, why did you meet Liang Ping'an alone on the mountain trail?

This doesn't look like a coincidence by any means.

"Speaking of which...... Where did Liang Ping'an go? ”

Jiang Chaoge looked around and found that Liang Ping'an had disappeared.

However, he vaguely remembered that Liang Ping'an should have passed in the direction of the west of the village.

Not a big problem!

"By the way, I'm a ghost now, so can I just walk through the little widow's house so that it seems closer?"

Jiang Chaoge definitely didn't have the intention of being a 'sister-in-law', he just understood the truth that the straight line between the two points was closer, and at the same time, he also wanted to do an experiment to see if he could really penetrate.

Then, he walked towards the wooden door in front of him.

To be cautious, he didn't hit his head directly, but tried it with his hands first.

The door, it's silky!

"It's a feeling...... It's pretty magical. ”

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chaoge entered the little widow's house.

Immediately, he saw the little widow walking towards the inner room with small steps, and she was still holding a gray-white towel in her hand to wipe her snow-white body.

"Why is my sister-in-law's clothes gone?"

Looking to the side, Jiang Chaoge found that the floral cloth shirt was drying on a bamboo pole in the courtyard, and it was flowing down.

It turned out that you just took a shower?

That's fast!

It's just, why is there still one person in my sister-in-law's family?!

It was a young man of about twenty years old, at the door of the little widow's back room.

He wears a crown hat on his head, a standard blue official uniform, and a big word 'catch' printed on his chest.

But that's not the point, the point is that the young man is hanging on the door beam with his head down and feet up, and he still has a healing smile on his face.

The corners of his mouth were hooked high, his eyes were curved like crescents in the sky, his eyes looked at the little widow quietly, and his face was overflowing with the gentleness of the quiet years.

It's warm, warm like a peach blossom in March.

And now the time is......

When the child is young, three watches!

The moon is dark and the wind is high!
