Xia Ping arrived at a small village, which was not large, about thirty or forty families, and according to his father, the source of the incident at that time came from here. Many of the houses in the village are thatched houses, the houses are very small, and most of them are old people and children, they are all torn, their clothes are patched everywhere, and many of them don't even have shoes, and they are not afraid of getting hurt when they walk barefoot.

Xia Ping wanted to come here to ask about what happened back then, so he walked in.

Xia Ping looked at the old man lying in the shade of the tree in front of him, then walked over and asked, "May I ask, old man, do you know what happened here two hundred years ago?" ”

Xia Ping's voice was very polite and polite.

The old man with his eyes closed opened his eyes when he heard Xia Ping's voice and said:

"Boy, what's the point of asking those old things?" The old man said slowly, and this gave people the impression that the old man was very at ease.

"Old man, Xia came to ask because he had something, if the old man is willing to say what happened back then, Xia will definitely give the corresponding reward."

"Boy, there are some things that are not easy to inquire about, and if you are not careful, you will .....," said the old man, standing up, pretending to be mysterious and putting on a look of knowing knowledge.

"Xiaosheng knows that there will be danger, but Xia also has a reason to ask, Xia is also afraid that something will happen to him, but he is even more afraid that something will happen to the person he loves."

"Hey, boy, do you really want to listen?"

"Yes."

"Good boy, the old man admires people like you very much, in that case, then you go to the old man's house first, and the old man will tell you how it is."

"Well, thank you, old man."

The old man touched his beard, put the fan on his waist and asked Xia Ping to follow and leave, and from time to time there were some people muttering on the road, and everyone looked at Xia Ping with strange eyes, Xia Ping felt a little cold.

"It's strange, why is it cold at the end of the day, it's still the beginning of summer!" Xia Ping muttered. He didn't feel anything strange about this place, and he was only stared at as if they were curious to see outsiders.

After following the old man to his home, the old man opened the door, and Xia Ping followed in.

There is a table, two benches, a small stool, a bit rudimentary.

"Boy, would you like some water?" As he spoke, the old man took the small stool and handed it to Xia Ping, motioning for him to sit down.

"No need, thank you old man, Xia brought his own water." Saying that, Xia Ping also showed the old man the water hyacinth he hung on his waist, Xia Ping looked at the stool and didn't sit down, it was too small to sit, so Xia Ping could only stand.

"It's been a long walk, you're hungry, the old man is going to prepare something to eat for you, you wait here." The old man was very welcoming.

"No need, Xia is not hungry." As he spoke, he was about to step forward and grab the old man.

"Click." At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded, and Xia Ping looked over there, and there was a woman here, followed by a boy.

Seeing Xia Ping, the woman hurriedly raised the hoe in her hand and asked Xia Ping vigilantly:

"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?"

Xia Ping got up, hugged his fists and replied to the girl:

"Oh, yes, it's an old man who brought me here."

When the woman heard this, her face was full of disbelief and she said, "Old man, what old man." ”

"It's the one next to me!" Xia Ping turned his head to look, but he didn't see the old man just now, and then looked at the woman's appearance of preparing to do it, and said nervously:

"An old man really brought me here just now, but why can't I see anyone now?" Xia Ping felt a little incredible, why did the person suddenly disappear?

"Hehe, what an old man, I think you're just talking nonsense, you don't want to get out of here." The woman took the hoe and said indifferently to Xia Ping.

"Girl, you really have to believe me, it's really an old man who brought me here." Xia Ping also wanted to explain clearly, he didn't want to be misunderstood.

"Oh, then you said that old man looks like it, there are dozens of families in this village, and I know them all." The woman looked at Xia Ping with a flustered face, and she didn't look like a liar, so she put down her hoe and listened to Xia Ping's explanation.

The old man looked like he was in his sixtieth year, wearing an inky robe, with a slightly gray beard on his chin, and a fan in his hand, which was already very torn. He was very thin and had a full head of gray hair. Xia Ping replied while thinking.

Xia Ping's answer made the woman feel frightened for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Did you find him under a tree?" ”

"Yes, Xia found him on a tree."

After hearing this, the woman also let down her vigilance and said to Xia Ping; "What you just saw wasn't people. That's my dead father, who loved to cool off in the shade of a tree. ”

Xia Ping felt a chill behind his back when he heard the woman's words, and his lips trembled a little and said:

"How is it possible, you can still bump into this thing in broad daylight."

"Ah, but it's dark now!" The woman looked surprised.

"What, it's dark, but it's not...."The next moment, Xia Ping looked at the originally bright sky and suddenly got dark, Xia Ping was afraid, and hurriedly took out the boy urine and willow branches prepared in the baggage.

"It's so good, it's getting dark." Xia Ping muttered to himself tremblingly.

Xia Ping immediately came back to his senses, and this time he looked at the woman in front of him vigilantly.

"You're a human or a ghost." As he spoke, he pointed the boy urine in his hand at the woman in front of him.

"Oh, this is a child's pee, it stinks, quickly cover it, I'm human, if you don't believe it, you can see the shadow under my feet." The woman covered her nose and waved her hand at Xia Ping.

Xia Ping looked down and saw that if a woman has a shadow, then it is not a ghost, a ghost has no shadow. He took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly remembered something, was there another child here just now. He couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said, "Was there a boy behind you just now?" ”

"Ah, no, it's just the two of us, are you hallucinating?" The woman asked, surprised.

"This way, this way." Xia Ping sat paralyzed on the ground and said, "What is this, why did it suddenly get dark in the middle of the day, I can't die yet." ”

Xia Ping felt that he was being targeted by this thing, so he subconsciously thought that he would not live long.

Xia Ping's tears flowed out unconsciously, the man didn't flick his tears, it was just that he didn't get to the sad place, everyone was afraid of death, not to mention Xia Ping, who still had a lady and a daughter at home.

The woman looked at the man in front of her and cried so decently, and said in a disdainful voice:

"You're not dead, what are you crying about, you're not alive and well, what is a big man crying like, okay, don't go anywhere if you stay at my house today, and leave as soon as tomorrow dawns!"

"That's all it can be." Xia Ping wiped his tears, looked at the woman with gratitude in his eyes, arched his hands and said:

"Thank you, but isn't it a little inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow on this big night." Xia Ping felt that something was inappropriate, and at the same time, he also had a trace of vigilance, but now he was afraid of going out.

The woman lit the candle on the table, and said without looking at Xia Ping:

"I don't mind a single woman, what do you mind, what? I'm afraid I'll eat you! ”

"That's not it, the girl doesn't mind, then Xia doesn't feel as good."

The woman grinned and said, "Well, but there's no place for you to sleep, just find a place to lean on, and I'll go sleep first." ”

"Well, thank you, girl." Xia Ping said to the woman who was about to leave here to sleep.

The woman left, Xia Ping watched the woman leave, and then stepped forward to close the door, and the woman did not close the door when she left.

Xia Ping found a bench and sat down, muttering in his mouth;

"It's really unfortunate to go out today." Before going to this village, Xia Ping had heard about the strangeness of this village, but he still came to find out what happened back then and help his daughter solve the curse.

Ordinary people in this village are afraid to come, there are rumors that people who have been to this village will go crazy after going back, some are better, but there are some things missing, and some are lucky, and it is okay to go, but the strange thing is that the person has changed his personality from before, just like a different person.

Xia Ping took out the boy's urine and poured it around him, tied the willow branch around his waist, and then took out the peach wood sword that he had given and held it in his hand, holding it tightly.

Xia Ping couldn't sleep, he was afraid that something would happen after he fell asleep, he had to be careful.

In the middle of the night, Xia Ping was still asleep, his eyelids were fighting all the time, and in the end he lost to sleepiness and fell asleep.

And Xia An'an's family was panicked at this moment, looking for Xia Ping everywhere.

Later, I learned from others that Xia Ping actually went to that village.

At this time, it was already dark, and it was not easy to find Xia Ping, Gu Fei could only pray to the heavens that Xia Ping was okay, Gu Fei was very scared now, and the dishes at home were cold, because he didn't wait for Xia Ping. Usually Xia Ping comes back on time, and he never fools around.

Xia An'an and Gu Fei returned home, Gu Fei asked Xia An'an to eat first, Xia An'an looked at her mother's worried look and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't ask, because she knew that her mother wouldn't say it.
