"Boom ......"

The firelight burned everything away, revealing the original night sky.

When the fire dissipates, whether it is the delicate and elegant pavilion, the colorful and beautiful lights, or those delicate and ugly female ghosts, all disappear, as if they never appeared.

All that was left was a barren mountain in the dark.

Even if Wu Suowei's eyesight is good, just now in the brightly lit ghost building, and was shaken by the firelight, she couldn't see anything clearly at this time, but she heard the shouts of surprise or fear around her, which made her turn around instantly with her sword, but these voices were ordinary male voices, so she didn't attack immediately.

"Take it easy."

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Wu Nuxia breathed a sigh of relief.

When the eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, with the help of the hooked moon and the starlight, the barren mountain, countless tree stumps, the southwest horse tied to the tree stump, the old people of Yizhou standing behind them, and a few men on the ground who had sat up with frightened faces.

I couldn't see it clearly in the night, but I could see the white stripes, and I guess I didn't have any clothes.

"Your clothes should be right next to you, fumble around and put them on." Song You said.

"Who are you?"

"Where is this?"

"I wasn't ...... just now"

"Isn't it still dawn?"

Four different voices rang out in a mixture.

I could tell that some of them were already frequent visitors to this wilderness ghost building, at least not for the first time, while some of them didn't know about it, thinking that it was the first time they had met it, and they had never heard of it before.

Some people still have a lot of middle qi in their voices, some people are already very weak, and some people sigh a few times, thinking that it is a sore back.

Then there was the sound of fumbling for clothes.

When they were almost finished dressed, they heard the sound of a flame exploding:

"Canopy ......"

Suddenly there was a flash of fire in the night.

But Song You picked up a wooden branch out of nowhere, and a flame automatically ignited on the branch, illuminating a small area between the barren mountains.

Several faces were reflected by the firelight, their expressions were different, the shadows of people and horses, and tree stumps were cast on the ground, and the ground was not flat, light and dark were uncertain, more like ghosts than the white faces and red makeup in the lights in the building just now.

"Where's the ghost here?"

Wu Suowei asked Song You.

"It's gone."

"That's it?"

"It's just a little ghost."

"This kind of thing is still good for you Taoist priests." Wu Suowei frowned, "It's a pity that I didn't leave a token." ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, if the woman encounters a ghost outside in the future, and the sword is difficult to hurt, it is best to leave. If you have to fight, you can smear blood on the blade, and those who practice martial arts have strong blood and can overcome yin and evil. ”

"I know this, this is not thinking of you, for no reason, why should I give myself a knife?"

When the other four heard it, they all understood.

The expressions of the four were also different.

One person's eyes widened, and he was afraid.

One person is fortunate and has some aftertaste.

One was disappointed and relieved.

One blames them for being nosy.

The flame of the wooden branch in his hand illuminated their facial features, and with the help of this small tent flame, the Taoist faintly aimed at their expressions to see what they were thinking.

There is no fire in this world, and it really can't be.

"The sperm is in the brain!"

Wu Nuxia was about to be angry, and walked over to the person who blamed them.

Song You didn't stop it, and still stood in place:

"It's cool in the mountains, and the nearby villages may be able to spend the night, if you live closely, go home, and if you live far away, please find a place to spend the night."

Some are grateful, some are resentful.

There are also people who were left behind by Wu Nuxia.

"That ghost was burned clean by a fire, and nothing was left, although this is often the case for catching demons and eliminating ghosts, but in this way, according to the government's agreement, after we unveil the list, there will be no follow-up demons and ghosts for a month to half a year, and we will get the reward." Wu Nuxia said, "But there is an eyewitness here, who was awakened by your fire, and with him to testify, we may be able to get the reward in a few days." ”

"The woman is thoughtful."

Song You bowed his hand to him, and then looked at the man who was still disheveled but dressed as a scholar: "Under the surname Song Mingyou, a person from Yizhou, he has unveiled the list and came here to get rid of ghosts, which is polite." ”

"What you did in Xia Wu!"

"Under the surname Gu ...... The surname is Gu Mingyi, a person from Jingzhou, thank you for saving your life, and I am ashamed. ”

Gu Yi only patted his head.

"I was really dizzy, knowing that this is a barren mountain, how can there be gorgeous pavilions on the barren mountain that are not available in other prefectures and cities, and how can there be so many charming women, but somehow, I just didn't feel strange at the time, and I thought that Changjing was prosperous, and it was like this, I was really ashamed of the sages and the sages I read......"

"Since you are a demon, you can deceive people's hearts, which is so easy to distinguish."

Song You knew that even if there was a ghost charm, with the way of those two little ghosts, it would definitely be their lust that would take advantage of it, but if he asked him to help testify, he would not be stingy with these two words of comfort.

"In the future, remember that a knife on the head of the color word, especially in the wilderness, should be recognized."

"Know ...... know"

"Can you still walk?"

"Yes! Yes! ”

lest they leave him behind.

"Bring your bags and set off with us, go to Changjing at this time, and you will almost be able to reach the city gate at dawn."

"Good, good!"

Song You walked back with the woman.

The scholar followed them in a panic.

"Don't be afraid, reader." Wu Nuxia led the horse and said as she walked, "That female ghost only sucks people's yang energy, and can't eat people, you can lose your life a little at most, you will have back pain and bad spirit recently, even if you came to Changjing to catch the exam, you have already finished the exam a few days ago, right?" ”

"Zheng, it's just that I've finished the exam, so I want to come out to enjoy the peach blossoms, and I accidentally got lost." After listening to what she said, the scholar was even more afraid, "Will it really be a long life?" ”

"What's wrong? You're light! ”

Wu Nuxia carefully identified the way, grinned and said: "I am today, oh, it was already yesterday, I unveiled the list yesterday morning, the magistrate said, what can be found, there have been dozens of people who have died due to being sucked dry of yang energy, I don't know how many can't be found, I don't know how many are weak and not dead but fast, in the past few years, I don't know how many people have lost their lives." ”

"Huh?"

The scholar was shocked.

The heroine seemed to be satisfied with some kind of amusement, and grinned.

There are countless stars, a little mountain fire, and it is gradually moving away.

……

Originally, if he had been in a hurry overnight, it would have been similar to Song You's suggestion, and he would be able to walk to the city gate before dawn.

However, it is difficult to walk at night, it is difficult for people to walk and horses are also difficult to walk, they have to find a place to shelter from the wind and rest a few times, in short, when they sit cold, they will walk for a while, walk for a while, and rest for a while, and when the sky is lit up and the fish belly is white, they will only go halfway, and the remaining half will be almost finished in one breath.

Song You returned to Willow Street in the morning.

As soon as he inserted the key into the keyhole, he heard a series of sounds on the wooden ladder inside, very urgently, and when he opened the door, he was a three-flowered cat sitting in the house, licking its paws and aiming at him.

"I'm back."

The three-flowered cat put down its paws and looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you say it would take a few days?" ”

"It's smoother than I thought."

"Did you catch a ghost?"

"Caught."

Song You walked upstairs as he returned.

Sanhua Cat followed behind him, looked up and asked, "Where do you guess our family's money went?" ”

"It can't be hidden by Sanhua Niangniang, right?"

"Guess."

"I don't know."

"Hidden by the Sanhua Niang."

"Where are you hiding?"

"In the rat hole."

"Sanhua Niangniang is amazing."

The cat talks a lot, and Song You also tries to accompany him.

When he reached the second floor, he lay down on the bed.

"Are you tired?"

"Just sleepy."

"Are you going to sleep?"

"Almost."

"You also slept during the day......

"yes......"

Song You's voice was getting quieter and quieter.

I only vaguely noticed that the three-flowered cat rubbed his feet at the head of the bed, and after wiping it clean, he also jumped on the bed, and came closer to observe him, Song You felt funny at first, and felt relieved at ease, in this peace of mind, whether it was the exquisite attic that he entered last night, whether it was the charming female ghost, or the different faces of the four prostitutes, they all disappeared from his heart.

This sleep was also too easy.

When I opened my eyes again, it was dusk.

It's like taking a long nap.

“……”

It's always strange to wake up in the afternoon.

That's it—

When I opened my eyes, there was no one in the room, and Sanhua Niangniang didn't know where to go, so she got up and walked a few steps, pushed open the window, and there was only a dim sky in front of her, and the dim sky in the evening gave people the illusion that they had reached the end of time.

It feels like a day has been stolen, and the whole world has been lost from that day.

It's an amazing feeling.

So Song You sat by the window with his clothes draped for a while, while blowing the evening breeze, while savoring this feeling, and waited until it completely slipped away from his heart, then got up and slowly went downstairs.

The downstairs door was open, and in the dim light of the day, the cats were playing with their balls in the street.

Wu Nuxia took a small bench and sat under the eaves of her house, holding her chin and looking at the cat.

Seeing Song You come out, she turned her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! You're finally awake! I thought you'd sleep until tomorrow! ”

"The woman didn't sleep?"

"Squinted for a moment."

"It's time to get some rest."

"Jianghu people are in good health, go to bed early tonight." Wu Suowei's face was full of indifference, "I took the scholar to the county government office to hand in the list today, and it was quite smooth, it is estimated that the county official is more convinced if he is a scholar, and said that he will send someone to the mountain to take a look in the past few days, as long as he hasn't seen an attic come out for seven days, he will come and send us money...... Don't worry, as long as we really have the ability to get rid of demons, he won't dare not give money. ”

"It's a heroine doing everything, I'm really ashamed."

"What are you ashamed of, each has its own division of labor, you burned those ghosts directly with one fire, I'm ashamed, I picked up a bargain, and when the time comes, I will give you more money."

"It's better to be a woman."

Song You also went to the house and came out with a bench, sat at the door, rested in the cold, and watched the cat pluck the ball on the ground.

"You cat is still arrogant, I just said that I would play with it, but it didn't do it, and it almost caught me."

"Sanhua Niangniang has her own ideas."

“……”

It's as if it's just an ordinary day.
