September, Anping County.

It rained all day, and the road was full of deep and shallow puddles. Nan Jinyi came out of Baicaotang with an umbrella and took down the lantern hanging in front of the hall.

The whole body of the lantern is red, and the three words "Baicaotang" are written in seal on the surface of the lamp. Because of the rain, Nan Jinyi did not use the pole, but carried it with his hands and walked towards Pear Blossom Lane.

The orange light shone on the hem of her skirt, and the heel of her shoe made a "pop" sound when she stepped into the puddle. The cold wind blew off the leaves of the sycamore trees beside the road, and the leaves fell on the surface of her umbrella in circles, and the copper bell hanging from the umbrella bone made a crisp sound.

Not far away, a dark figure was staring at her.

Nan Jinyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the black shadow: "You are busy, I can't help." ”

The black shadow does not give up and wants to keep up. A raindrop burst through the air and smashed through his body against the wall. The black shadow froze, and he slowly looked down at his chest, only to see that a thumb-sized hole had broken there, and the black gas next to the hole was gathering.

Curious, he flirted with his fingers and found that the black gas was alive and would revolve around his fingers. He hesitated for a moment and stuck his index finger into the hole in his chest, feeling nothing.

He didn't understand, so he could only speed up and keep up with Nan Jinyi!

Nan Jinyi was a little unhappy, his feet froze, and he stopped in place. The black shadow didn't have time to retract its feet, and it collided directly, and then passed through her body and stopped on the opposite side.

The feeling of contact with the living soul was not good, and she resisted the urge to tear the other party apart and lifted the lantern. Seeing this, the black shadow immediately took a half step back, letting his entire body hide in the darkness.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Nan Jinyi's tone was not kind, the black shadow heard it, and he pressed his eyebrows, looking very aggrieved.

The living soul has no memory, he will only subconsciously follow the person he wants to follow. Xu was because of the ghost aura on Nan Jinyi's body, which made him mistake him for the same kind and never leave.

She didn't want to kill, and she didn't bother to chase him again, so after staggering her gaze, she walked directly past him.

The black shadow knew that it was Nan Jinyi who acquiesced to his following, and after a gentle "hey", he pinched his ears and pretended to be cute and ran to her.

Nan Jinyi ignored it, walked directly through him, and stopped at the door of the Li family's tofu factory.

Knocking on the wooden door, footsteps were soon heard from inside the door.

The door was opened by a young woman, about thirty years of age, with a sad face. Seeing Nan Jinyi standing outside the door, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and welcomed him in. The black shadow wanted to follow, but was stopped by a glance when Nan Jinyi turned around. He honestly retreated to the door and stood obediently in the corner.

There was a light in the west wing, and under the lamp sat a man with the same sad face, and when he saw Nan Jinyi coming in with a lantern, he hurriedly got up and begged: "Girl, take a look at my little treasure." ”

"Boss Li, don't worry." Nan Jinyi put the lantern on the table, cleaned her hands and walked to the bed.

On the bed lay a little boy, about four or five years old, with chubby cheeks. From the outside, the boy didn't look like he was sick. After a moment of contemplation, she opened the boy's eyes and looked at it.

"Miss Nan, is there something wrong with my little treasure?" The woman stood behind Nan Jinyi, and when she saw that she was silent, she hurriedly rubbed her hands: "Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have listened to Xiaobao." ”

"What did he say, Xiaobao?" Nan Jinyi asked, putting her hand on Xiaobao's pulse.

Xiaobao's pulse is sluggish, which is a disease of lack of yang energy, but why does he have a disease that only adults have? Nan Jinyi frowned slightly, and turned to look at the woman: "Xiaobao, when did you start this disease?" ”

"Seven...... Seven days ago! The woman's eyes fluttered, as if she was embarrassed: "Our Xiaobao also has an elder brother." His brother is clumsy, and he can't work when he is seven or eight years old. Half a month ago, I asked him to go to the well in his hometown to get a big bucket of water, but he poured it so well that he drowned in the well with the bucket. The girl didn't know that our family's tofu depended on the water from that well. ”

The woman sighed as she spoke, "This man is dead, the well is buried, and our family's business is not doing well. Seven days ago, that is, the day when Xiaobao's brother returned to his soul, Xiaobao suddenly had a nightmare, and when he woke up, he cried and made trouble. After this optimism, Xiaobao didn't have nightmares, but he slept longer and longer day by day, and this time he slept for two days. ”

"How is Xiaobao's relationship with his brother?"

"It's okay, the two children are not much different, but the older one is a little stupid." The woman's words were palpably disgusted.

"This brother wasn't born to Madame, right?" Nan Jinyi asked for a pen and paper and wrote down a recipe: "If it is biological, how can you only care about the well and not the child after the child falls into the water." ”

"It's not that I don't care about children, I'm—" The woman glanced at the man uncomfortably: "That well is not the livelihood of our old Li family." Yes, I'm a stepmother, but he was still young when I entered the door, and I pulled him up with a handful of and urine. Although it is a stepmother, the girl went out to ask, this neighbor, not to mention that I am closer to him than my own mother. ”

"And where is this child's own mother?" Nan Jinyi picked up the written prescription and blew it down, and handed it to the man: "Grab the medicine according to the prescription, fry three bowls of water into one bowl, twice a day." ”

"Her own mother was kicked out for a crime." The woman came up to Fang Zi and said, "What kind of illness is my little treasure?" ”

"Nightmare." Nan Jinyi looked into the woman's eyes: "You can also understand that it is haunted by evil spirits." ”

"Evil ......" The woman's face changed, and she grabbed the man's arm and shook it vigorously.

The man's face was not very good-looking, he patted the woman's hand, signaled her to be calm, and after her emotions calmed down, he cleared his throat and said to Nan Jinyi: "What the girl said is true?" ”

"Am I kidding you?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong, girl." The man hurriedly waved his hand: "We don't suspect the girl, but we don't quite understand where the evil ghost in the girl's mouth came from." ”

"This sick person is your little treasure, and the evil ghost naturally comes from your family."

"But my deceased wife died of illness, and it has nothing to do with anyone." The man hurriedly said: "I have married two daughters-in-law, and the one surnamed Fang in front of me has been dead for almost six years." As for Li Dabao, he fell into the water and drowned, which ...... How can this be counted on Xiaobao's head. ”

Nan Jinyi stared at the woman's eyes for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that your deceased wife and children will not die naturally." ”

"Girl, you can't talk nonsense!" The woman's face turned pale: "My sister is sick and dead!" ”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the door opened, and an evil wind swept in with the rain. The lamp and candle that had been resting at the head of the bed were knocked to the ground by something, and the flames came out of the lampshade like a fiery snake and bit the woman.
