Chapter 007: Silver Fox (2)
The so-called career Liu Hanshan doesn't mind, after all, his county order was also donated by his father, as for why he donated, it is related to his personal experience.
Since the housekeeper's daughter Bai Tong left, he, the little young master, has been bumping into evil spirits every now and then, and his father asked skilled craftsmen to make gold and jade for him to ward off evil spirits in order to keep him safe.
That piece of jade kept him safe for ten years, until two years ago, he encountered evil again and almost lost his life. The official is not big, so he can stay in the yamen. In his father's eyes, this yamen is a place that can suppress evil spirits, and as for the official clothes on his body, he can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.
It's strange to say, since he made the county order, those messy things have never been encountered.
Although this county order is donated, the rights are real, and since he is the official of this party's parents, he cannot be allowed to live in a mess. In his father's words, even to save his life, he had to be diligent and keep the black gauze hat on his head.
Liu Hanshan followed Qin Ye's suggestion, first calmed down the old woman, and asked her to come to the yamen again three days later, while he disguised himself and took Qin Ye to Caijiazhuang. Consciousness told him that there was something else behind the case.
Liu Hanshan disguised himself as a goods seller, and Qin Ye was his helper, one person pushed the cart, and the other carried the burden, grinding and chirping into Caijiazhuang. This Zhuangzi is different from other places, it seems extraordinarily quiet, and along the way, I don't say that I met a villager, not even the kind of earth dog that wandered around the village.
The doors and windows of every house were closed, as if they were guarding against something.
"Sir, don't you think this village is a little weird?"
"It's weird." Liu Hanshan said: "It is the season of autumn planting, and the weather is very cool today. and the farmland outside the Zhuangzi also looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. ”
"A subordinate knocks on a house and asks?"
Qin Ye asked for instructions, Liu Hanshan nodded, they chose a family that looked acceptable, and knocked three times on the door panel, but after three sounds, there was no movement in the yard.
Then they knocked on the second household, and the third household, just like the first one, but no one answered. At the behest of Liu Hanshan, Qin Ye climbed over the wall and entered, only to find that the people in the courtyard, regardless of men, women and children, were sleeping soundly.
The entire Caijiazhuang, except for the old woman who went to the county government to complain, all suffered from "soul disorder". The symptoms of these villagers are the same as those of Liu Hanshan before, they breathe and have a pulse, but they just can't wake up.
There was no way, they could only go to Baicaotang and invite Nan Jinyi over.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Nan Jinyi signaled Qin Ye to stop, pointed to the water stain on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village and told them that it was not easy to enter the village at this time, and they would talk about it after dark.
"Miss Nan, what's that water stain?" Qin Ye asked, holding the horsewhip in his arms: "How do I look at it, it looks like an animal peeing." ”
"It's the pee of animals." Nan Jinyi lowered the curtain: "But it's not an ordinary animal, it's a silver fox." ”
"Silver Fox? Fox! Qin Ye scratched his head: "What does this fox peeing have to do with us not being able to enter the village?" ”
"If it's an ordinary fox, it naturally doesn't matter, but what you met is a silver fox that has become a fine spirit." Nan Jinyi glanced at Liu Hanshan: "Lord Liu is really blessed, wherever this person goes, evil will be provoked." This has become a fine silver fox, and it is the first time I have encountered it. ”
"Is there really a fox in this world who has become a spirit?" Qin Ye lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Then what does this fox look like?" When I was a child, my grandmother told me about the fox worshipping the moon, but the fox she saw was no different from an ordinary fox. ”
"Qin Zhutou thinks that he has become a fox with a spirit, what should he look like?"
"At least as it says in the book, it's a beauty who is shy of flowers in the moon." Qin Ye put on a shy look: "Is this silver fox a beauty?" If so, I will immediately enter the village and capture it alive. ”
"Do you want to be a lady back home?" Liu Hanshan frowned and asked, "How do you know that the water stain was left by the silver fox?" ”
In the previous sentence, Qin Ye was asked, and in the latter sentence, Nan Jinyi was asked.
"What the adults asked is what I want to know." Qin Ye raised his hand: "That water stain looks ordinary, I believe it when it is said that it was left by the earth dog." ”
"Smell!" Nan Jinyi said: "That smell is the same as what was left on you." ”
"On us?" Qin Ye grabbed his sleeve and sniffed: "Isn't this the smell of sweat?" ”
After speaking, he leaned over to Liu Hanshan and sniffed him.
Nan Jinyi didn't speak, but took out a bag and handed it to Qin Ye. Qin Ye didn't know why, so he directly put the bag into his arms. Seeing this, Liu Hanshan gave him a look frequently, blinking his eyes so much that his eyes hurt, and Qin Ye didn't understand what he meant.
"My lord, why do you keep piercing your eyes at me? Do you have eye discomfort? ”
"Tips!"
"You want to know something, you told it earlier." Qin Ye took out the bag and handed it to Liu Hanshan, who motioned for him to open it himself.
Before Qin Ye tore open the bag, Nan Jinyi covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. As the bag was ripped out of a small opening, an indescribable fishy smell hit the nose directly. If Qin Ye hadn't hurriedly pinched the mouth, the three people in the carriage would have been smoked.
"Girl, what's in your bag?"
"Silver fox powder, that is, the powder made by grinding a whole silver fox." Nan Jinyi said: "It was left to me by my master, saying that when I encounter danger, I can use it to save my life." I smelled it when I was a child, and I remember it very well, and in order not to use it, I learned it day and night. ”
"If my master wants this, I will become a master." Qin Ye returned the bag to Nan Jinyi: "No wonder the girl can smell the breath of the silver fox, this smell is too rushing." ”
"It's not just the smell, it's the hair." Nan Jinyi stretched out his hand and pinched a hair from Liu Hanshan's body: "It has been following you, maybe it's because of the things you investigated, and it is closely related to it." ”
"I remember, when we came out of Caijiazhuang, there was a sporadic light rain for a while." Liu Hanshan frowned: "I thought it was a passing bird with my lords, but I didn't expect it to be a silver fox, which really disgusted people to death." Also, when I went back to the city to invite the girl, I always felt that something was following us, and I looked behind me several times but didn't see it. This silver fox is really cunning. ”
Without waiting for Qin Ye to finish speaking, Liu Hanshan took off the coat on his body, and then threw it outside the carriage with some disgust.
In the village house, a pair of green eyes were staring at them without blinking.
The weather changed as it should, and the sun was shining brightly, and in a few moments, the sky that covered their heads turned yellow. Dark clouds are approaching from afar. Before the rain came, the wind came first, only to blow the carriage swaying.
