After the lantern offering ceremony, the group and the Du family made an appointment to go down the mountain together. In the evening, he stayed at Du's house and left early the next morning.

Shuanghe County is one of the epicenter areas of this "earthquake", and the county magistrate has just taken office. So Jing Yan didn't plan to go over.

From Qixia Town to the northeast is Shuangyin County. Shuangyin further northeast is Liao County.

Liao County is nearly 200 miles away from Shuangyin County, close to Linan Mansion. Before Liju was returned to Great Xia, Liao County was regarded as a border city.

From Shuangyin to Liao County, this way past, many places are wilderness. Jiang Yuqing and the others walked for nearly two hours, except for the occasional passer-by, they didn't even see a village.

Towards noon, the weather became more and more sultry, and the hearts of the people seemed to be breathless.

The little guy hummed even more uncomfortably, and it wasn't until Jiang Yuqing added a cool spiritual power cover to him that he became comfortable.

Outside the car window, dragonflies on both sides of the road flew very low, and several snakes were encountered. There is a proverb: Dragonflies fly low, go out with a hat. Long worm aisle, heavy rain is coming.

After walking seven or eight miles, a heavy black cloud pressed over from the north, and the wind rose, and the grass and trees on the side of the road began to sway wildly.

Looks like they're going to have to find a place to hide from the rain.

Wu Ya had walked this road when he was on a mission in the past, saying that there was not a single family within a radius of twenty miles.

Just over ten miles ahead, there is an abandoned Luohan Temple. Although it is shabby, it is sheltered from the rain.

Jing Yan ordered to speed up and rush to the Luohan Temple that Wuya said to take shelter from the rain.

When everyone rushed to the front to take a closer look, there was still any Luohan Temple, and only a pile of charred and blackened ruins remained. Looking at the traces of wind and rain erosion on the ruins, it has also been burned for a year.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and they all looked at Wuya. Wuya didn't expect that this would be the case, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Jing Yan asked him, in addition to this ruined temple nearby, there are other places to shelter from the rain.

Wuya hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but that place is quite unlucky, and most people don't dare to go there." ”

"What the hell is it?"

"Yi, Yizhuang!"

"......" Jing Yan looked up at the increasingly dark sky, and said decisively: "Go to Yizhuang!" "The dead are not terrible, but the living are terrible.

The group hit the road again and ran forward for about three or four miles. Under the leadership of Wu Ya, he turned into a path on the right.

At this time, the black clouds had pressed overhead, and the surrounding sky was dark, with lightning and thunder. The wind almost shattered the surrounding vegetation.

Everyone desperately beat their horses forward, and finally rushed to the gate of Yizhuang before the rainstorm fell.

Another bolt of lightning struck down, just illuminating the gate of Yizhuang, and the violently shaking white lanterns hanging on both sides were particularly eerie.

Wuya was about to step forward and slam the door, but Jiang Yuqing stopped him. took out four peace jade talismans, gave one to each of them, and motioned for them to take it with them.

Although she is not afraid of ghosts, it is better to be careful and awe of this kind of place.

Several people took it gratefully, and they all hung it around their necks for the first time, and instantly felt a hundred times safer. I think even if a few zombies run out of this door, I can use bricks to wipe them out.

was extraordinarily confident, so he stepped forward and slammed the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open from the inside with a "creak", and a lame old man with a gloomy expression came out. His voice seemed to have been burned by the flames, and he was very hoarse: "What are you doing here?" ”

Wuya hugged his fist at him: "My master passed by here, and saw that the heavy rain was coming, and he wanted to take shelter from the rain here, so please ask my husband to make it convenient." ”

The old man looked at their group, there were old people, women, and babies who were still nursing, so he relieved himself and said, "It's okay to take shelter from the rain." Leave as soon as the rain stops, I'm not a good place to be. ”

Wuya thanked him.

The old man opened the door and let them in.

As soon as Fang entered the door, a rotten and unpleasant smell came to his face. Whether it is under the eaves of the corridors on both sides of the aisle, or in the beamless hall of Yizhuang, there are coffins of various materials, supported by wooden benches, not to mention thirty or forty coffins.

There are black lacquer, some red lacquer, some white lacquer only, and even one wood color. There are those who have lost their paint for a long time, and there are many who look at the new black coffin.

It gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Coupled with the pitch-black sky at this time, and the flickering flashes, the whole Yizhuang is even more creepy and ghostly.

Long before entering the door, Jiang Yuqing added another layer of shielding and protective cover to his son, so that he would not see these things again.

In the eyes of a child, he may not know what these rows of things represent. But that negative smell of decay is always extremely bad for the baby.

The old man took them to an empty room in the backyard, warned them not to run around, and left. In this kind of hellish place, unless you have a problem with your brain, you will think of running around.

As soon as the old man left, the torrential rain poured down. It slammed against the back of the roof tiles, so loud that I couldn't even hear the voice.

Jiang Yu Qingyu waved his hand lightly, closed the door tightly, and added a layer of enchantment around the room, which could finally remove the baby's separate isolation barrier.

Jiang Yuqing stuffed his son into his father's arms, threw away a few cleaning techniques, swept away all the garbage and dust on the ground, dragged out a large piece of clean linoleum from the spiritual realm, and asked Youyou to spread it on the ground for them, and then spread a tablecloth.

The hot food that had been stored before was also taken out and spread all over the floor, and everyone sat around to eat. Jiang Yuqing was not very hungry, so she let Jing Yan eat first, and she fed the child egg custard.

Wuya asked Jiang Yuqing with his eyes, can he speak? After getting Jiang Yuqing's affirmation. Canghai Fang only said with a solemn face: "Master, madam, something is wrong with this Yizhuang!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at him. Doctor Qiu was the first to ask: "What's wrong, there are zombies?" ”

The excitement flashed in his eyes, Jiang Yuqing had no doubt, if there was, he might really run to catch one and try the scalpel.

Jiang Yuqing held down Doctor Qiu and asked him not to interrupt. Motioned for Wu Ya to continue.

Wuya said: "I also came to this Yizhuang two years ago, and that time I also came here to escape the rain because of the heavy rain.

At that time, the person who kept Yizhuang was also this old man. But I distinctly remember that he was lame in his right leg at that time. But this time, it was his left leg that was lame. Moreover, his voice was not so hoarse. ”

Jing Yan frowned and asked him, "Are you sure?" ”

Wuya was very sure: "Sure." At that time, because he was in a hurry, he lost his lame shoes, but his subordinates went down to help him pick them up. So remember it very clearly. ”

Doctor Qiu said: "There is a kind of disguise technique on the rivers and lakes. A human skin mask is usually used.

There are also two kinds of human skin masks, one is a real mask made of special materials that is as thin as a cicada's wings based on the face of the object to be disguised.

There are very few people with this kind of skill, so the masks made are extremely expensive.

The other is to peel the skin directly after killing! This method is much simpler and more straightforward.

There is no flaw in the skin on the face of the keeper, and if he combines it with the words of Boundless, the old man is even more inclined to the original keeper that the keeper has been killed by this person.

He then skinned him and made a human mask to live in his place. Disguised as the caretaker of a righteous village with such great painstaking efforts, there is definitely a big secret here. ”

Everyone agrees with this.

Wuya said again: "In addition, there used to be a threshold at the gate of this Yizhuang, but this time there is no more. It's like it was deliberately dismantled to make it easier for cars and horses to get in and out.

Due to various reasons, the deceased could not be buried in time before they were sent to Yizhuang for temporary parking. This is rare. There may not be one for a month. It's not even a long time before there is one.

Therefore, in order to prevent rain, insects and snakes, Yizhuang will generally install thresholds.

It is only when the body or coffin is pulled in by the carriage and sent out for burial that the threshold is removed to facilitate the entry and exit of the carriage and horse.

This situation can only show that in recent times, the frame has been in and out of here very frequently.

When my subordinates came here two years ago, there were only more than 20 coffins in Yizhuang, and the degree of new and old was different. There are new ones, but they are rare.

When his subordinates just passed by the beamless hall, they found that there were more than a dozen black lacquered coffins inside. Not only is the system very uniform, but there are no permanent lamps in front of these coffins.

According to the custom here, it is taboo for the newly dead who have not been buried, not to light the lantern at night. It is absolutely not allowed.

In the same way, you can see that in front of the coffins under the eaves of the porch, there are ever-bright lamp bowls. ”

After Wuya finished speaking, he found that everyone looked at him in surprise. Especially Jiang Yuqing, who was so surprised that he almost applauded: "Wuya, I found that it is really condescending to let you be a guard." You are such a meticulous and logical genius, you should be put in Dali Temple. ”

Jing Yan also gave him an appreciative look: "If you have other ideas, you can talk about them together." ”

Wuya was praised, quite intentionally embarrassed. Hehe smiled and said, "The subordinates mean, we should not know these things." When the rain stops, we will leave here, and we will dive back in the middle of the night to find out what is happening. ”

Jing Yan nodded and agreed: "That's it, this matter will be handed over to you and Canghai." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will live up to the trust of the master."

The people finished their meals and packed their things. Jiang Yuqing looked at the heavy rain outside, afraid that he would not be able to stop for a while. So he took out everyone's mats and other things, and laid out their own bunks to rest.

He took out a simple tent and stretched it out, put a soundproof cover, and went in to feed Yiyi. Autumn is still a few days away, and she plans to wean the little one when the weather is cooler.

Now the weather is still too hot, and I am rashly weaned, I am afraid that Yiyi will not be able to stand it and will be easy to get sick.

After feeding, Jiang Yuqing looked at the top of the tent and suddenly said to Jing Yan: "Ah Yan, I have an idea. When the time comes to the next town, I'm going to hire someone to build a movable log cabin.

It doesn't need to be too big, just three or five rooms. The next time we encounter rain, snow or other extreme weather, everyone can also have a place to shelter from the rain. Even if you miss the camp, you don't have to sleep in the wilderness. ”

Jing Yan didn't have any opinion on these, leaned over and imprinted a kiss on his wife's forehead: "Just make a decision!" ”

When I looked down, I saw that my son was looking at him with wide eyes, what do you mean?

Jing Yan lightly tapped his full forehead with his finger and said, "Little thing, eat your meal." Do you know about indecent acts? ”

The little guy slapped his father's hand open, and the milk was gone.

Struggling to sit up, frowning little brows, raising two little fat arms, and calling at his father, the milk is fierce and the milk is fierce, and the appearance is very cute.

Jing Yan poked his son down with a finger, and abducted him like a big bad wolf: "If you want to fight with me, you have to eat well and grow up well."

When you reach the age of eighteen, you will be able to defeat me, and then the entire Jing family will be yours. ”

The corners of Jiang Yuqing's mouth twitched, and he looked at the child's father's eyes: "My son is so young, you just use the agitation method on him, are you sure that you won't give him a whole problem?" ”

Jing Yan held her face with both hands, squeezed her mouth into a small bird's beak, and then pecked hard: "Don't worry, this kid is smart." ”

Jiang Yuqing broke free of his big hand and lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw that the little guy was lying back and eating a big meal.
