Hearing the neighing of horses in the woods on the left, the five of them immediately tread water to find their way, and walked towards the forest with one foot high and one foot low. As soon as I arrived in the forest, it was even darker, and I only heard a knock on the door in front of me, and sure enough, there was a house. Xiang Yan was relieved. But there was a constant knock on the door, but no one opened it. When the five of them came closer, they saw a large dark room.

The woman shouted, "Open the door, open the door, come shelter from the rain." After calling for a while, there was no movement at the door of the house. The woman was impatient and jumped over the wall. Xu Tianchuan also jumped into the wall and opened the door. Wei Xiaobao, Xiang Yan, Fang Yi and the little county lord entered the house.

Inside the gate is a large patio, and then there is a hall. The woman untied the oil bag from her side, took out the fire knife and flint, lit the fire, and when she saw that there was a candle on the table in the hall, she went and lit it. Xiang Yan suddenly saw a light in front of him, and he felt a burst of relief. I saw that the hall was furnished with rosewood seat furniture, which was actually the style of a large family.

Xiang Yan looked at the woman again, and saw that the woman was thirty-five or sixteen years old, extremely fat, with a face like a full moon, small eyes and a big mouth. Shook his head funny, Zhao Laosan had always called the woman a girl before, and the woman also called herself a girl, Xiang Yan thought that he was a person about the same age as Fang Yi and the little county lord, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

The woman suddenly said to Xiang Yan, "Little brother, what do you mean by looking at me shaking your head and laughing?" Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ah, no, no, this ...... "What should I call her?" The woman said, "Call me sister." Xiang Yan said: "This sister, you misunderstood. I didn't look at you, I was looking forward, but you happened to be standing in front of me. I didn't smile and shake my head at you, I remembered something I had done before and thought I was stupid, so I smiled and shook my head. ”

The woman laughed, "Oh, I see!" Xiang Yan said: "That's how it is." The woman asked Xu Tianchuan again: "Are you all friends in the rivers and lakes?" Xu Tianchuan said: "Under the surname Xu, these two are my nephews, and these two are my nieces." We were going to visit relatives in Shanxi, and we didn't want to encounter this heavy rain. This eldest sister, may I ask your surname? ”

The woman nodded at the store, but did not ask Xu Tianchuan, and said, "This house is a bit weird." Xu Tianchuan also said: "Yes! There was no dust on the table, the floor was clean, and there was no one in the house, which was a bit strange indeed. Wei Xiaobao exclaimed: "Could it be that it is the evil ghost who cleans the house?" I was so scared that I couldn't stop shaking.

Xiang Yan knew that this world was just a martial arts world and not a fairy world, and there would never be ghosts. There seems to be such a plot in the original book, Wei Xiaobao seems to have gained a wife here. He comforted Wei Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, don't be afraid. I don't do anything bad in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. We are all good people, don't be afraid of ghosts. As a result, Wei Xiaobao was even more frightened.

Fang Yi held Wei Xiaobao's hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid. Wei Xiaobao quieted down at this time. Xiang Yan's heart was sour, should I pretend to be scared?

The woman sat in the hall, while Xu Tianchuan, Wei Xiaobao and the other five sat on the threshold of the long window of the hall, and no one spoke.

Suddenly, there were several women's cries in the east room, and the sound was very sad. Despite the heavy rain, these cries were clearly heard. Everyone looked at each other, all of them in horror. Xiang Yan was also shocked in his heart: "Is there really a ghost in this world?" After all, I can soar, and it's not impossible to have ghosts in this world. After a while, the voice of a woman weeping could be heard in the west room.

The woman snorted and said loudly: "We passed by your place, came here to take shelter from the rain, and trespassed into the treasure house, and hereby thank you, can you give it to you?" There was a lot of air in these words. Sent out far away. After a long time, there was not the slightest movement.

The woman shook her head and said loudly, "Since the master here does not want to receive the laity, we can't harass it without permission. Take shelter from the rain in the hall, and as soon as the rain stops, leave as soon as possible. After a long time, I heard no more weeping.

The woman squinted at Xu Tianchuan for a long time, and asked, "Old man Xu, how many of you are from the capital?" Xu Tianchuan said: "Exactly." The woman asked, "Have you ever seen two little eunuchs of fourteen or fifteen years old on the road?" As soon as these words came out, Xiang Yan's heart sank: "Could it be that this old woman is also the person sent by the Queen Mother to kill me?" ”

Xu Tianchuan said: "You said eunuchs? In the capital, there are a lot of old and young eunuchs, and you can always bump into a few when you go out. The woman said, "I'm asking you if you've seen it on the road, not in the capital." Xu Tianchuan smiled: "Big sister, you can't do what you say." According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, as soon as the eunuch left the capital, he committed a capital crime. Eunuchs are not as majestic as the Ming Dynasty, which eunuch dares to take a step out of the capital now? ”

The woman let out an "oh" and said, "Maybe he's modified." Xu Tianchuan shook his head again and again and said, "I don't have the guts, I don't have the guts." After a pause, he said, "Big sister, what kind of little eunuch are you looking for?" When I visit my relatives from Shanxi, I will return to the capital and help you inquire. The woman said, "Hmph, thank you so much, I just don't know if they have such a long life." After speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
