There are only forty or fifty households in Zhoujiatun, and forty or fifty simple houses are put together, and the area is very small.

Along the way, Wang Qilin asked Zhou Jin: "You have a lot of laborers working in the fields, why don't you see women and children?"

This is not normal, tenants have more children in the family, especially boys, which represents the labor force.

Zhou Jin said: "There is a ghost who abducts a child in Tunzi, who dares to leave the baby in Tunli? Xiaohe's family fled here, and they have not been prosperous, and they have no relatives outside, so they can't escape. ”

Xiao Nier's home is only an alley away from Zhou Xiaohe's house, and she arrived soon.

The door was locked, and Xu Da had to raise his feet again.

Wang Qilin hurriedly stopped him: "There is no money to pay for other people's doors!"

Zhou Jin went up and knocked on the door, and soon a crisp response sounded in the room: "Here, don't knock." ”

The door squeaked open, and a faint smell of fat powder appeared with a young woman in a leaning bun.

The young woman is not beautiful, she can only be said to be delicate, with raised eyebrows and a high nose, and she looks like a country woman.

Zhou Jin introduced Wang Qilin and the three of them, and Wang Qilin asked, "Where is Zhou Mazi?"

The young woman saluted and said, "My lord, my man has gone to find grass in his field, and if you have any problems, I will call him back." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Zhou Jin, you go and call him, you stay, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhou Mazi's family is much richer than Zhou Xiaohe's family, although the thatched house looks dilapidated on the outside, the furniture inside is quite complete.

Directly north of the living room is an offering table with a set of children's clothes and a few crude knick-knacks.

There was little smoke from the incense burner, a faint candle from a permanent lamp, and a plate of apples and a few pieces of bread.

Seeing Wang Qilin's eyes staring at the offering table, the young woman's eyes slowly turned red, and she smiled miserably: "My Nizi has just passed away a few days ago, and there are no good things for her at home, so I can only keep her incense." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "How did she pass away?"

The young woman wiped her eyes and said, "They all said that they let the beasts in the mountains go, but we are surrounded by cultivated land, and we are not a few miles away from the county seat, where do the big beasts come from?"

They didn't ask a few words, and a pockmarked man hurried in.

The man's face is dark, the pockmarks on his face are even darker, and he has a horse's face, which is really ugly.

Seeing his mother-in-law kneeling on the ground, the pock-faced man also hurriedly knelt down, his face full of panic: "The adults are above, and the grass people Zhou Jun will meet the adults." ”

"Your name is Zhou Jun?" Dong Jihu smiled, "This name is good." ”

Wang Qilin shook his head, when did he still laugh at people's appearance?

Being able to become a small seal is not only because Shi Zhoushan wants to find a replacement for the dead ghost, but also because of his strength.

Shi Zhoushan has a lot of little Cinnos, but except for Xiang Wei, who still has a little brain, the other people have heads just to look taller.

Looking at it this way, Dong Jihu didn't find out the news about Xiao Nier, maybe it was because he was too stupid.

But he didn't get any useful information.

Zhou Jun and his wife said that their daughter usually likes the little master of the Zhou family very much, a few days ago the little master climbed high and accidentally fell to his death, and the daughter was very sad to learn the news after returning from her grandmother's house, so she ran out.

At that time, the Zhou family thought that the girl was looking for a place to cry, so they didn't care, but they didn't come back at night, and they were scared.

Quan Tunzi went out that night but did not find Xiao Nier, and then searched for two or three days, and finally found her body in a newly dug aqueduct last winter.

"Are you sure you've found your daughter's corpse?" he asked.

Zhou Jun was determined: "Yes, can your daughter recognize it?"

Zhou wiped his tears: "I'd rather not." ”

After asking the Zhou family and his wife, Wang Qilin went to find the landlord's house in Tunzi again.

The landlord's grandson was at the funeral, and Xiao Nier was lost, and he didn't believe it when he said that the two had nothing to do with each other.

The Zhou family can afford to support forty or fifty tenants, and this is definitely a big landlord.

But their house is extremely simple, just a blue brick and red tile bungalow.

The furniture in the house is in brand new condition, Wang Qilin glanced at the house after entering the house, and found that the furniture here is similar to the style and wood of Zhou Mazi's house, it should be a bargain, and the landlord's house is very frugal.

The old lady of the Zhou family received them, this is a tall and burly white-bearded old man, with thick hands and feet, and the skin on his face is as rough as a stone from the wind and sun.

His spirits were very bad, his lips were chapped, his eyes were blank, and his voice was hoarse and he could barely speak.

A woman said sadly: "Since my family Min Er is gone, my father-in-law's soul has also been taken away, he has not eaten tea and dinner these days, and his mental state is very poor. ”

Wang Qilin arched his hand and said, "Madam is polite, how many young masters of your family?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled sadly and said, "What kind of young master is the Zhuang family? I have four sons and two grandchildren, but now I only have one son, hehe." ”

Wang Qilin was moved: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhou said sadly: "Two of the four sons went out to do business and disappeared, one went to catch the exam, and the remaining one was finally saved from farming at home." Two grandchildren, gone!"

His eldest grandson has been dead for five years, and his youngest grandson, Min Er, naughtily climbed onto the roof 20 days ago, but he stumbled and fell away.

After asking, Wang Qilin didn't ask for any news.

There was no way, he could only say: "We will stay in Tunli tonight, since that ghost is entangled with Xiaoliu, it will definitely not stop easily, we will wait for it to show up, and take it directly." ”

Xu Da rubbed his hands: "Uncle takes the lead!"

The menacing appearance is scary.

The group stayed at Zhou Xiaohe's house, and the Zhou family specially killed chickens to entertain guests.

Dong Jihu took it for granted, and Wang Qilin privately gave fifty copper baht.

It made him feel very distressed.

So before eating, he wanted to go and get a chicken leg out to return to his roots, but when he went to the kitchen, he saw that Xu Da and Liu'er were eating a chicken leg with oily lips......

Wang Qilin: ̄へ ̄

After a hasty meal in the evening, night fell.

Tonight the wind was strong, the clouds were crossing, and the moon shadow was obscured from time to time.

As a result, the shadows of the courtyard walls, the shadows of the trees outside the door, and even the shadows of the farm tools by the walls disappeared from time to time.

Wang Qilin sat in the courtyard and wiped his knife quietly.

The red rust on the horse chopping knife disappeared.

It seems that he is afraid of being wiped off.

Another cloud was blown over the moon.

Between heaven and earth, it was pitch black.

The thatch rustled on the roof in the night breeze.

In the sound of the wind and the sound of grass blades, the gloomy laughter of children was faintly heard behind the house:

"Kiss the mother's well, the mother is sick, and the mother comes up straight. The stars are shining in the sky, the wind is calm on the ground, and the doll's cry is soft.

"Liu'er comes out to play together, hehe!"

The Zhou couple trembled and hugged their son into their arms, and Wang Qilin quickly jumped over the wall and rushed to the back of the house.

A few small white shadows flickered away.

Xu Dadao: "Lao Dong, Chong Longyu!"

Dong Jihu was embarrassed: "I, my skills can only be used once a day." ”

Xu Da took the ice beads with a disdainful face.

Wang Qilin said: "You go to chase, I will stay behind, and I have to carefully transfer the tiger away from the mountain." ”

He watched the two leave, and went into the house to comfort the three members of the Zhou family.

Outside the house was desolate and lonely.

The room was deserted.

After a while, Liu'er shrank in her mother's arms and said, "Mother, I'm cold." ”

Wang Qilin also felt this unique chill.

This is the yin coldness of the yin qi.

Zhou Xiaohe, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly trembled.

Wang Qilin asked, "So cold?"

Zhou Xiaohe secretly pointed to the ground.

The moonlight shines through the window edge paper on the ground in a dappled light shadow, and there is a clear shadow in the light and shadow.

Like the shadow of a child's head!

Wang Qilin pinched the root seal in his hand, silently recited the Vajrasattva mantra, and then strode out of the door.

An owl was frightened and quickly flew away.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, a night owl." ”

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at the doorway.

Something was hiding outside the door, revealing half of its face and peeking at him!

This half of the face.

Bright red as blood!
