The carriage traveled for more than half a month, although it was a day and night, but fortunately, there was Yunzhou Mansion all the way, Niu Zhuang not only did not feel tired, but because he ate and drank well all the way, he was served well, and he looked red.

But on the other side, the slightly relaxed atmosphere between Lin Xixue and Bai Qing was a little more estranged because of Lin Xixue's repeated questions before.

Since Bai Qing was upset by her questioning last time, whenever she talked about key information, she always had to keep her mouth shut, for fear of saying something that shouldn't be said.

Although Lin Xixue was quite helpless about this, she could understand it.

On this day, the carriage proceeded as usual, through a dead forest without bark, to a small village in the middle of nowhere.

The big red stage temporarily erected at the head of the village has not been taken down, but there is no troupe on the stage, and there is no audience off the stage.

The village is full of lights, and many people have red lanterns hanging in front of their doors, but the lanterns are not lit, and it is obviously broad daylight, but the door is closed.

"Sister Bai, what are you doing in this village, it looks weird, it's really crazy." Xu Zhiyi saw the scene in the village through the window, and shrunk her neck and shivered.

"Look at this stage and hanging lanterns, I think it should be a big family in the village doing red things, either for birthday or marriage, but it's just ......" Bai Qing said this, suddenly looked at Lin Xixue, and swallowed back halfway through the topic.

"Just what?" Xu Zhiyi asked with both fear and curiosity.

"Hmph, let's not talk about it, lest some people have to ask endlessly, in short, this village is very troublesome, it's better for us to leave as soon as possible." After Bai Qing finished speaking, he instructed the coachman outside the carriage: "Let the horses run faster and leave this village as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" When Niu Zhuang heard Bai Qing's order, he immediately swung his whip a few times, and the carriage suddenly sped up and drove out of the village quickly.

After all, although he is simple, he is not stupid, and the White Immortal Master ordered him to leave this village quickly, which is simply to say that this village is strange.

As he drove, he looked back from time to time, and saw that the village had finally disappeared, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was completely relaxed, and he slowed down the speed of the carriage.

After all, if the horse runs too fast and consumes too much stamina, I am afraid that I will not be able to run to the next town, so I will have to pick and not leave, and when the time comes, the white immortal master will blame him, where can he afford it.

Continuing to move forward into the tea, Niu Zhuang saw a mountain village in front of him.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the mountain village became clearer and clearer in front of him, and seeing the unmanned stage at the entrance of the village, Niu Zhuang's legs suddenly began to tremble, and he said in horror: "White Immortal Master, the village ...... Just that village! ”

"Well, since you can't hide from it, go in, maybe you can have another meal." Bai Qing's words were not flustered, but vaguely impatient.

But Niu Zhuang had the experience of meeting the wolf girl last time, so he naturally couldn't be calm, and said with a sad face: "Immortal Master, I don't want to eat the banquet, you have great powers, let's find a way to take us out of here!" ”

"It's not impossible to force us out, it's just that it's too time-consuming, and since someone in the village has invited us, it's okay to go in and sit down." Bai Qing got out of the carriage and walked towards the village.

Lin Xixue was not very afraid, after all, she had already seen too many strange things after crossing over, and her nerves had already been sharpened very much. But she saw that Xu Zhiyi was a little scared, so she had to hold her hand and try to give her some sense of security.

Niu Zhuang originally wanted to stay in the car, but he immediately thought that Bai Immortal Master's side might be the safest, so he had to follow in a huff.

A group of four people gradually went deeper into the village, but saw that every household closed their doors, and the whole village was like a lifeless dead village, and a sad suona sound was heard in the distance.

The sound of suona is sometimes loud and sometimes small, the tone is high and low, as if shouting grievances, and like shouting grievances, Xu Zhiyi hugged Lin Xixue's arms tighter.

Not long after, the four of them walked into the village square from the village lane, a red high wall in the square, but it was temporarily covered with a layer of white cloth, the red hydrangea behind the white cloth did not have time to take off, the "Xi" paper-cut was not torn clean, and the paste on the wall could be seen sporadically.

This is a mourning hall temporarily converted from Xitang, in front of the mourning hall is just a few villagers surrounded by a few villagers, wrapped in white linen, the yellow paper in the brazier turned into ashes and scattered all over the sky.

However, in front of the mourning hall, there was no suona sound, let alone a person playing suona.

There is also a table of banquets in front of the mourning hall, and the bowls and chopsticks of the banquet are not much or less, and there are just four pairs of dishes and chopsticks according to the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest.

The good wine and food on the table have not been touched, as if they were specially arranged for Lin Xixue and his party.

When several villagers saw the four of them coming, they all turned their heads and stared at them with wooden and stiff eyes.

Niu Zhuang saw this situation, cold sweat was like rain behind her back, if she wasn't afraid of being slashed by Bai Qing's sword, she couldn't wait to be like Xu Zhiyi, and stepped forward to hug Bai Qing's arm.

The old woman who was kneeling on the ground and burning yellow paper stared at them for a long time, and then tried to get up from the ground, but maybe she knelt for a long time and her legs were a little numb, so she couldn't stand up for a long time, and two younger men on the left and right put her up.

The two men carried the old woman to the four of them, or they shouldn't have left, because the old woman's legs were erected, so they were in a suspended state, and maybe it would be more appropriate to call them "floating".

The old woman's eye sockets were deep-set, and there were severe cataracts, and she could barely see the kernels of her eyes, and a few broken teeth burst out of her gums.

"A few distinguished guests...... Please be seated...... Poor hospitality...... Wanwang Haihan. The old woman's voice was also extremely hoarse.

Bai Qing didn't say anything, just nodded at the old woman, and really pulled up her skirt and sat down.

Although Lin Xixue and Xu Zhiyi didn't know why Bai Qing took their seats so calmly, there was nothing wrong with doing it, so they also took their seats. It's just that Xu Zhiyi was still a little scared after all, so she picked up a stool and sat between Bai Qing and Lin Xixue.

Niu Zhuang was pacing around the table, his face turned blue with fright.

"White Immortal Master...... Do you really want to eat it? ”

"Eat, of course you have to eat, not only eat, but also pack what you can't eat, in short, these are all yours, try to eat them all."

Niu Zhuang swallowed his saliva, no longer as rough as he used to eat, but carefully picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it for a long time and didn't dare to swallow it.

After several villagers dressed in linen greeted the four of them to their seats, they continued to return to the mourning hall to burn paper, without the intention of hospitality.

At this moment, the wine jug on the table suddenly suspended by itself, filling the wine glass in front of Niu Zhuang, Niu Zhuang jumped up with a "ah", and his knee almost overturned the table, and the good wine that was poured flowed all over the table.

"If you want to eat, you will eat, I can protect you." Bai Qing folded her hands and placed them in front of her, her demeanor looked dignified and decent.

"White Immortal Master, but this wine, it ......"

"What's so strange about the owner of this place seeing that you only eat wine and thinking that you want to eat wine, so he pours you wine? Since the wine is poured for you, you drink it, don't live up to the good intentions of others. ”

After Bai Qing finished speaking, the wine jug floated on its own again, and poured wine for Niu Zhuang again.

Niu Zhuang raised his wine glass tremblingly, closed his eyes, and drank it all, as if he was not drinking, but about to die generously. It's a clear sake, but for some reason, it's harder to swallow than the usual muddy and sour sake.

"Okay, the food has been eaten, the wine has been drunk, and if you want to find out what I am talking about, you can tell me slowly......"
