Ning Caichen returned home with a full stomach, and when he saw his wife leaning against the door, looking into the distance, he immediately showed a sweet smile when he saw him coming.

"I'm back, the meal is ready, I'm just waiting for you to come back to eat, by the way, didn't my cousin come back?"

Ning Caichen hugged his wife and walked slowly to the living room.

"You're just right, you need to rest more, you don't have to come out and wait for me, I know the way home. The cousin said that he had taken over the job of educating children, and he couldn't break his promise, so he didn't come. ”

Shan Danling listened with a smile, and when he arrived at the dining room, Ning's mother was already sitting there.

Seeing the fireworks couple snuggled together, with the warmth of the veins flowing around them, he greeted them with a smile.

"That's it, husband and wife are honest. The owner of the butcher's shop in the east of the city, do you remember, when he married his wife, and with the help of his wife's mother's family, he opened a butcher shop, bought and sold, and made money. But because his wife gave birth to three daughters in a row, he did not give birth to a son. secretly raised the outer room behind his wife's back, and the outer room was not a safe place, so he hugged a boy and made trouble.

The butcher shop is all in trouble, pity those three little girls. ”

turned his head and admonished Ning Caichen.

"You can't learn from him and deceive Dan Ling, if Dan Ling is injured because of you, see if I can spare you."

Dan Ling smiled and grabbed Mrs. Ning's arm and coquettishly.

"I knew that my mother was the best for me. Mother, don't worry, who in Jiangyin doesn't know the oath made by Xianggong, and there is only one wife in this life. There are a lot of people in Jiangyin City who envy me. Mother, you can rest assured. Xianggong will not betray me. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Ning Caichen to hurry over and coax his mother.

Ning Caichen stepped forward a little uncomfortably, and coaxed Mrs. Ning with Danling.

Mrs. Ning was coaxed and smiled.

Let the two of them sit down quickly.

Eat together.

After eating, Ning Caichen went to the kitchen, and Ning's mother cleaned up the house with Danling.

There wasn't much work in the first place, but it was done quickly.

Mrs. Ning asked Shan Danling to send some refreshments to Ning Caichen, to create a chance for them to be alone, and to hug her grandson as soon as possible, it is best to be chubby like Wenwu, with a personality like Wenshun, well-behaved and sensible.

"Every day when he reads, he has to see the third watch in the middle of the night, his eyes are uncomfortable, and his stomach will be hungry, so he will send refreshments, and when he is hungry, he can eat it himself."

Shan Danling came to the study with refreshments, pushed open the door, and saw Ning Caichen studying carefully behind the desk, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a beautiful appearance sitting on the guest floor in the study.

She paused for a moment, then walked in casually, put the refreshments in the corner of the table, and walked to Ning Caichen's side.

Asked softly, "Who is this girl?" ”

Ning Caichen pinched a piece of pastry and ate it.

"It's still good at home, and you know that this pastry is made by you, madam. Her name is Xiaoqian, and she is a female ghost I rescued when I went out, and I want to stay and repay because I miss the rescue. ”

Xiaoqian also stood up obediently, knelt on the ground, and cried about her tragic past.

Shan Danling hurriedly helped her up, helped her sit down, and helped her wipe her tears.

"The girl is sincere and should not have refused, but the family's property is really thin, and there are not many houses. My cousin came here, and he lived outside, so he really didn't have any extra room. And the mother-in-law is old, so she has to serve from time to time, and the father-in-law is dedicated to gaining fame. Saving you is a kind intention, and if you want the girl to repay it, you really have to lose that kindness.

The girl is fine now, so she might as well be reincarnated. ”

Xiao Qian's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head, looking lonely.

"Xiaoqian knows that her status is low, and she is willing to be a slave, serving the master, wife, begging the wife not to drive me away."

Shan Danling looked at Ning Caichen helplessly.

"I didn't say that I wanted to drive her away, it's just that being alone and widowed, being in the same room, is a romantic affair for Xianggong, but for Xiaoqian girl, she has a bad reputation. Xianggong, look at this, let Xiaoqian live with her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law has a gentle temperament, and she will not treat Xiaoqian badly. ”

Ning Caichen refused without thinking about it, Xiaoqian is a ghost, her mother is a human, people and ghosts have different paths, what if something happens to her mother?

couldn't help but look at Shan Danling reproachfully.

Shan Danling also showed a headache, and gestured with his eyes, what do you say?

After thinking about it, Xiaoqian insisted on staying in the Ning family and repaying the favor.

I really can't help it.

Shan Danling proposed: "How about Miss Xiaoqian help us clean the courtyard and tidy up the housework, which will be regarded as a reward?" ”

Xiao Qian eagerly agreed, as if she was afraid that if she slowed down for a second, they would regret it.

……

Sending Xiaoqian away, Shan Danling returned to the room with Ning Caichen, packed up his belongings, looked at the broken quiver in his hand, and asked with some doubts: "Xianggong, what is this?" ”

Ning Caichen put down the book, looked back, and told the temple with a smile, and explained the origin of the quiver.

When Shan Danling heard this, his heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you going to do with it?" Hanging study? ”

Ning Caichen refused.

"Xiaoqian will help at home in the future, and I also promised to teach her the Lengyan Sutra, I need to go in and out of the study often, hanging in the study will hurt her, or hang it in our room."

Shan Danling lowered his eyes, thoughtfully agreed, and hung the quiver at the door of the bedroom.

When Xiaoqian came to help clean up the next day, before she got close to the bedroom door, she was stabbed by an arrow bag and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

Ning Caichen heard the sound and came out to take a look.

"Why are you here?"

Xiaoqian smiled and said, "I'll clean the room for my son." ”

Ning Caichen said: "You don't need to clean the bedroom, Dan Ling will clean it up, you go and prepare breakfast first, my mother should get up." ”

Xiao Qian agreed with a smile.

Before he turned around, Shan Danling had already shouted coquettishly: "Xianggong has eaten." ”

Ning Caichen answered, ignored Xiao Qian, and walked over.

Xiao Qian's eyes darkened. Silently followed.

The table in the living room had already been set up, Shan Danling was serving Ning's mother and sat down, after Ning Caichen came over, Shan Danling skillfully handed handkerchiefs and chopsticks.

He served properly, and there was no place for Xiaoqian to interfere.

Soon, the three of them sat down, and Shan Danling greeted Xiao Qian.

"Miss Xiaoqian, let's also sit down and eat together."

Xiao Qian smiled and refused.

"I'm a ghost, I can't eat."

Shan Danling showed a look of pity and instructed Ning Caichen.

"Xianggong, Xiaoqian's background is already so pitiful, it's better to let her mother-in-law accept her as a righteous daughter."

Mother Ning agreed when she heard it, and she was very satisfied with holding Xiaoqian's hand.

Ning Caichen felt that it was not a big deal, so he echoed his wife's decision, and with the identity of a righteous daughter, Xiaoqian was more justified in the Ning family.

She often gets up early to help Shan Danling clean the house and serve Ning's mother.

In the evening, I was very studious and asked Ning Caichen for advice and learning.

Within a few days, the Ning family accepted her.

this day.

Shan Danling stood up and rubbed his somewhat sour waist, Xiao Qian saw it and immediately stepped forward to help.

Ask her, "Is this it?" Is this kind of force okay? ”

Just rubbed it twice, Shan Danling moved away with a smile and said, "Thank you Xiaoqian, I feel much better." ”

Xiao Qian smiled and said that it was not a big deal, and asked again, "When will Childe come back?" ”

Shan Danling's expression paused slightly, and he quickly said with a smile:

"He, he's been competing with my brother recently, saying that he will come back in two days, and he said that he wants to go somewhere with my brother, and it won't take long to come back."

Xiao Qian lowered her head lonely.

……

When she received her cousin's letter, Yin Shilan was going to a banquet with Sui Lian'er.

After receiving the news, I didn't say a word and prepared to go back.

also specially asked Sui Lianer if he wanted to be together?

Sui Lian'er looked at his face, then pulled out a rope, dug out a ball of mud from the ground, and pinched a clay figure casually.

The clay figure can see clearly, with both eyebrows and eyes, that is, at a glance, you can see the roughness of the craftsman.

Yin Shilan took it.

"What is this?"

Sui Lian'er asked Sanniang to cast a spell to summon water and wash her hands.

"At critical moments, it is used to save people. The use of this clay figure is very simple, tie the person's hair on the raw surface, and then write the person's birthday on a piece of red paper, and press it down with the clay figure to save the last breath.

However, if the time for this person to die is up, then sorry, this method is useless. If it had been for other reasons, the clay figure might have saved her life. ”

Yin Shilan solemnly took it, the clay figure was not big, and it was just right to put it in the purse.

After saying goodbye to Sui Lian'er.

Hurry up and rush to Ning's house.

A beautiful woman led an old doctor with a white beard and a medicine box on his back, and greeted him.

The moment he saw him, his expression changed, and he quickly took it back, leaving him in fear.

Yin Shilan didn't pay attention and walked quickly to her cousin's room.

Ning Caichen and Mrs. Ning were sadly in front of her window, crying silently.

When Yin Shilan came, he asked, "Are you looking for a doctor?" How many days are left? ”

Ning Caichen sighed heavily.

Said sadly: "The doctor just left, Xiao Qian sent it, the doctor said, Dan Ling only has half a day." ”

A bolt from the blue!

Yin Shilan staggered two steps, suddenly remembered something, and looked at his cousin's wrist.

With a serious expression, he asked sharply, "Where is the rope on my cousin's wrist?" ”

Ning Caichen was a little puzzled, but Ning Mu knew something.

"I don't know, I still wore it on my hand this morning." ”

Yin Shilan's eyes darkened, and her cousin's breathing was weak, like a fish out of the water, and she was about to lose her breath in the next second.

He didn't dare to delay.

Take out the clay figurine and walk over to my cousin.

Reached out and pulled a hair from her head, wrapped it around the clay figure, and asked Ning Caichen to find the red paper.

Although Ning Caichen didn't know why, Yin Shilan was not a person who opened his mouth.

I found the red paper and picked up the pen, but I didn't know my cousin's birthday.

"Auntie, do you know your cousin's birthday?"

Mrs. Ning immediately nodded.

Find out the eight characters of the birth date and give it to Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan wrote with a pen.

Soon, after the ink-scented red paper was dry, Yin Shilan stuffed it at the feet of the clay figurines.

It's also strange, as soon as the red paper was put down, Shan Danling's breathing immediately stabilized, no longer intermittent, coming in and out.

The happy mother of Ning recited Amitabha Buddha again and again.

Put down the clay figurine in your hand.

Yin Shilan said solemnly.

"This clay man, don't move, I'll go find someone to save my cousin."

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Ning Caichen didn't dare to agree at all, and asked his mother to take care of his wife and leave with Yin Shilan.

The two hurried to find Sui Lian'er.

When he came to the banquet venue and looked up, how should he find Sui Lian'er, Ning Caichen was also a little puzzled, but Jiangyin City was his hometown, and he still knew some strange people and strange things.

But it was empty all around, except for a huge peak nest hanging from the trees, surrounded by buzzing bees.

The silk thread on Yin Shilan's wrist lit up, and he covered it without a trace.

I knew in my heart that Sui Lian'er and the others were a little embarrassed when they went out, shouting loudly, and losing their demeanor, but time waited for no one, and my cousin was still waiting for help.

Yin Shilan immediately made up her mind and shouted at the beehive Sui Lian'er.

Sui Lian'er, who was drinking and eating, asked Sanniang with a confused look: "Is someone calling me?" ”

Sanniang listened with her ears pricked up and said, "It seems to be Yin Xianggong's voice." ”

Yin Shilan's voice was eager, and it seemed that he must have encountered difficulties.

Sanniang was anxious and tried to wake up Sui Lian'er, but Sui Lian'er was blindfolded, and he looked like he was about to sleep in a half-awake state.

The voice that came became more and more urgent, Sanniang's heart was crossed, and she took the brothers to say goodbye to her master, supported Sui Lian'er, and when she came out, she saw Yin Shilan, who had no image of a literati.

Sui Lian'er's eyes were confused and teasing, and he said with a smile: "Are you playing a wandering and down-and-out literati?" ”

Yin Shilan looked at her image and smiled freely.

"For the sake of my cousin's life, what is it to lose my image, and I have to ask the girl to save my cousin's life."

Ning Caichen also made a series of solemn requests: "Ask the girl to save my mother's life." ”

Sui Lian'er burped, and the oncoming smell of wine made Yin Shilan feel slightly drunk when he took a sip.

"I can't save it, if you want to save it, go find a fox and beg her to lend you the red pill and use the red pill to get rid of the yin and evil qi on your cousin."

After saying that, he tilted his head and fell asleep.

Yin Shilan also wanted to ask who to find, so he saw Sui Lian'er who was drunk and asleep.

Sanniang's thin body was bent over by Sui Lian'er, and the two brothers were also a little confused.

One left and one right leaned on Sui Lian'er and dozed off.

Now, Sanniang has really become a drag.

Seeing this, Yin Shilan stepped forward to help hug one, and Ning Caichen stepped forward to hug one.

This made Sanniang breathe a sigh of relief.

Take out the carriage that Sui Lian'er gave her before the banquet.

The carriage landed, and the journey was made entirely of clouds.

I can just stuff an adult.

Sanniang helped Sui Lian'er into the car, and stuffed the two children into it, so she was slightly relieved.

Yin Shilan handed over a plain handkerchief.

"Wipe the sweat, the handkerchief is clean, I haven't used it."

Sanniang thanked her and took it.

Tie the cord hanging from the carriage around your wrists.

Then he followed the two of them.

As you walk, ask what happened.

Ning Caichen told the matter again beside him.

Sanniang was thoughtful.

looked at Yin Shilan with a sad face again.

said: "The girl said that she and Yin Gong participated in a fox wedding, can you ask any old man to help match the bridge." ”

Yin Shilan's eyes lit up, and then quickly disappeared.

"But I don't know his contact information."

Sanniang comforted: "It's okay, I have the contact information of a fox here, how about asking him for help?" ”

Yin Shilan hurriedly thanked him.

Sanniang took out a blue hair, approached the oil lamp, and slowly lit it.

In the silent room, a puff of white smoke filled the air, and a figure loomed in it.

After everyone greeted each other, Sanniang said: "Now there is an urgent matter, and I want to ask my son for help." ”

Lan Yu said: "What's the matter? ”

Sanniang motioned to Ning Caichen to explain the matter again.

Ning Caichen stepped forward and slowly told his wife about it, and finally pleaded: "Please ask the son to help, I will repay you." ”

Lan Yu said: "Red Pill is all owned by a fox named Jiaona, and I don't know where she is, but I think Nanshan Weng should know that they are all practicing to cure diseases and save people, and they are often in contact." ”

Yin Shilan urged: "Please also ask Gongzi to introduce on your behalf." ”

Lan Yu looked embarrassed.

Sanniang asked gently: "I don't know if the son is in trouble?" ”

Lan Yu hesitated a little, and finally sighed lightly and said, "It's not that I'm embarrassed, if you want to find Nanshan Weng, you need Lord Yinhe Water Ghost." ”

Yin Shilan looked at Sui Lian'er who was sleeping on the bed, and Sanniang, who kept calling people.

“…………”

In a heavy tone, he said, "Wait." ”
