A little smoke wafts from the cooking.

"A few benefactors, in front of us is our village." The second baby led in front and pointed into the distance.

Chen Jiu looked in the direction pointed by Erwazi, and about a few hundred meters away, there was a dotted village, and the scale of the village was not large, only about a dozen households.

However, no one in the village was walking around.

I could only see some bright light coming out of the house, most likely someone burning wood in the house to keep warm.

"Looks like good news." Chen Jiu smiled.

There are still people burning firewood in the village, which means that most of the small-footed female ghosts that Erwazi met have not attacked the village, otherwise these firewoods would have been extinguished long ago.

But it's also strange to say.

This female ghost actually didn't know what happened after killing the father of the second baby.

I don't know if I didn't find this village, or if there was another reason.

"Mother, I'm back." Erwazi pushed open the door of her house and walked in, where a middle-aged woman was sitting on the kang, and there was a child about four or five years old beside her.

"Second baby, why did you come back alone, what about your father?" The woman asked.

The second baby's expression was gloomy and he didn't know how to speak.

Chen Jiu, who was behind him, walked in and said for the second baby, "Auntie, I picked up the second baby a few miles away from here, and the child's father has already encountered an accident." ”

"What?!" The middle-aged woman was struck by lightning, and the whole person collapsed on the kang at once, and it took a long time before she slowly came back to her senses, and looked at the second baby with red eyes.

"Second baby, how did your father go? Did you meet a blind bear? ”

"Mother... My mother and I met a female ghost. Erwazi said in a deep voice, "Thanks to these benefactors behind me, I survived, and the benefactor gave me meat to eat." ”

After speaking, the second baby divided the pieces of meat that had been wrapped before to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman slowed down for a while, and she didn't know if she was sighing about the world or what, so she let out a long sigh, "Why don't there be many men in our village, but now that your father is gone, there is one less." ”

"You must take good care of your brother in the future."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Jiu and the others behind the second baby and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my son's life, a few benefactors come over to bake the fire, don't freeze this day." ”

She didn't have anything valuable in this house, and letting Chen Jiu and the others bake the fire was already the best hospitality in her heart.

"Hey... This damn world, how did the father and son of our family meet that female ghost. The middle-aged woman complained a few more times as if to herself.

After talking for a while, she turned to the second baby and shouted: "That, second baby, you go and bake a few sweet potatoes at home, as well as the steamed buns, and bring them to the benefactors to eat." ”

The middle-aged woman was very enthusiastic and eager to use the best things in the house to entertain Chen Jiu.

Perhaps this has something to do with the simple folk customs in the village.

Chen Jiu shook his head and refused with a smile: "Auntie doesn't have to be so troublesome, I have already eaten, and there are still some meat that I can't eat to share with you, Auntie." ”

After speaking, Chen Jiu took out many pieces of meat that had already been roasted, and these pieces of meat had already been wrapped in strips of meat.

Coupled with the weather, it will not rot for a month, which is enough for the second baby's family to eat for more than a month.

"It's... How embarrassing is that? You saved my doll's life and brought out such a valuable thing. The middle-aged woman looked a little at a loss.

Obviously, he was shocked by the generous action of Chen Jiu and others.

However, she also saw from the clothes of Chen Jiu and the others that these people were either rich or expensive, and they were probably all rich families in the city.

"It's okay, we don't lack these things, it just so happens that I have some questions for me to ask you, Auntie, and this meat will be regarded as a reward." Chen Jiu smiled lightly.

After several pushes, the middle-aged woman also accepted the meat under the persuasion of the second child.

Her husband has just left, and she has a young child, and she really needs this meat to survive this winter.

"If you ask a few benefactors, I will definitely know everything." Middle-aged woman humane.

Chen Jiu nodded and asked, "Auntie, there have been examples of ghosts near this village?" Or is this the first time you've heard of it? ”

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, "When I was a child, I heard my father say some ghosts and spirits, I guess there are real things, but our village is in this mountain pimple, I grew up here, but I have never seen it, at most I have seen a few blind bears and the blind-eyed beasts. ”

After hearing this, Chen Jiu thought in his heart, the middle-aged woman would not lie, which means that this female ghost has definitely only appeared around here in the last few days.

You must know that ghosts also have to live on yin energy.

There is no burial place in this wilderness, and it is obviously not a place that ghosts like, and it is naturally unlikely that such a thing as ghosts will appear.

"It seems that this female ghost may really have something to do with the people of Qingzhou Chenghuang." Chen Jiuxin said.

"That aunt, have there been any living people passing by in the village in the past half a month?" Chen Jiu continued to ask.

This time, he was obviously asking the group of people from Qingzhou Chenghuang, and with the route of those people in Qingzhou Chenghuang, they might pass through here, and these villagers would obviously not be within the scope of their fortification.

If they pass by.

It is very likely that you will be met by the villagers in this village.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Jiu say that there was a person, the middle-aged woman immediately replied: "Seven days ago, there was indeed a group of strangers passing by the village. ”

"But the gang took a look at the situation in the village and didn't linger."

"Isn't the benefactor old with those people?" The middle-aged woman asked.

Chen Jiu didn't deny it, and said directly: "It's true that there is something to do with it, I have a few friends in the hands of those people, and now I'm ready to rescue them." ”

My guess was not wrong, those people in Qingzhou Chenghuang really passed by this small mountain village.

As for why she didn't stay, Chen Jiu guessed that it had something to do with the barrenness of the village, and the woman ate some sweet potato noodles and naan, which were naturally good for the people in the village.

But for the people in the Qingzhou City God Temple, who have always been well-dressed and well-fed, some of them are really difficult to swallow.

Although these villagers in front of them belong to the same Great Song Dynasty as Qingzhou Chenghuang, the gap between people is indeed very far away.

"So that's what happened..."The middle-aged woman replied, and didn't ask more, she knew that no matter who she was, in terms of dress, she couldn't afford to offend a small woman.

Rather than getting involved, it's better to act like you don't know anything.
