Bai Biao slept in many places when he was living on the streets.

The bridges and holes of the dry river, the crumbling ruined temples, the old houses that have been abandoned for a long time, and even the hollow tree holes.

He slept in all these places.

But that was many years ago.

He is now accustomed to the bedroom of Chang's shop.

It was an ordinary chamber, with walls of masonry and a roof of thick thatch, like most houses in the city.

The difference is that the windows in the room are two-tiered, because the master said that the winter in Pingyang Mansion is windy and cold, so he specially installed two layers of windows for the disciples, one inside and one outside, so that ventilation will not be delayed in summer and it will be warmer in winter.

The only drawback is the taste, Chang's shop has a big smell of ingredients all year round, and sometimes there is a bit of pig feces when killing pigs.

But whatever it tasted better than the one he was in prison at this time.

The weather was cold, but there was still a stench wafting through the prison.

When he was wandering, he had smelled the smell of dead rats, dead cats, dead dogs, dead people, and was used to the smell of rotten rice and vegetables, as well as the smell of thatched houses in the countryside, but he had never smelled the stench now.

The cell smelled strange, and perhaps that was its distinctive smell: the smell of despair, the smell of dying.

It was getting dark, and the last rays of sunlight bypassed the cell's skylight, and the already dark cell finally became dark.

The cold wind poured in fiercely through the skylight, and Bai Biao felt that he was not in a cell but in a dry well, and it was not cold wind but heavy rain that poured in.

The thought made him shudder, and he quickly grabbed the wooden railing and breathed heavily.

"Young man, do you like the smell here?" a laugh rang out from the cell next to him, and his tone was dry, dry, and hoarse.

It was not a good sound, but it saved Bai Biao from his fantasy.

He sat down leaning against the wooden railing and said with a wry smile, "I don't like it, but what can I do?"

It was cold on the ground, and he remembered that there was a weedy stone bed in the cell, so he groped his way and sat down.

The stone bed was small, like a tabletop, and had a broken corner, and he had to curl up to lie on it.

At this time, the voice next door sounded again: "Hehe, little brother, if I were you, I would definitely not go to lie on that stone slab." ”

"Why?" Bai Biao asked subconsciously.

The dry voice laughed: "You think it's a stone bed?

Bai Biao shuddered and shouted, "Nonsense!"

"Touch it yourself. ”

Bai Biao stretched out his hand to pull away the thatch and touch the darkness to touch the stone bed.

Hands are cold and stiff.

There are dents.

He trembled and touched his hands stroke by stroke, stroke, horizontal, and vertical......

First!

After recognizing this word, he screamed and threw himself at the fence gate, and heavy footsteps and scolding voices sounded outside: "Your sister, have you seen a ghost? What is your sister's ghost called?"

A cell boss came with a torch and a wooden stick.

He rushed to the fence and stretched out his hand to pestle the wooden stick in, and the wooden stick stabbed Bai Biao's body as if he had been burned by coals, and the fire burned painfully!

"What's the name of the ghost?" Your sister deliberately made trouble for the uncle, didn't she?

Bai Biao shouted: "Big brother spare my life, spare my life! How can there be a tombstone in my cell?"

Hearing this, the cell leader fell silent.

After a while, he raised his torch and looked at Bai Biao carefully, and asked, "How can there be a tombstone in the cell? Where did you see it?"

Bai Biao pointed to the location of the stone bed and shouted, "It's there!"

The cell boss muttered: "It's impossible, it's obviously thrown away, and the tomb robbers are all dead, how can the tombstone come back?"

Bai Biao felt chills all over his body when he heard this.

Cold from the inside out.

The cell boss asked, "Who told you this is a tombstone?"

Bai Biao said: "The uncle next door to me is the predecessor of this cell. ”

He pointed to the cell on the left.

The cell boss was stunned.

The torches burned brightly, and the cold wind poured in, and the flames that blew shook suddenly.

In this way, the fire flickered and flickered, and the face of the cell leader became bright and dark.

Bai Biao couldn't see his appearance clearly, but when he wanted to take a closer look, he heard the cell head say in a low voice: "You heard a voice from the cell next door, he said that you have a tombstone here?"

Bai Biao said in a panic: "Yes, I went to lie down, and he told me that there was a tombstone under him." ”

The cell boss said, "But there's no one next to you." ”

As soon as these words sounded, Bai Biao felt even colder on his body.

"Besides, even if there is someone next to you, and there is a stone wall between your two cells, how will he know where you are lying when you go to lie down?"

Bai Biao hadn't thought about it, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really weird.

He muttered, "No, how could it be?

The cell boss said slowly: "There was someone next door to you, and a group of tomb robbers were once imprisoned here. ”

Bai Biao trembled his lips and said, "Robbers, tomb robbers, tomb robbers are capital crimes! This is death row? This is death row? No, my lord, I will not be guilty of death......

"This is not death row," said the cell boss, "we didn't arrest this group of grave robbers, they turned themselves in, saying they were robbing the grave." ”

"We didn't know who they were or what they had committed, so we put them in this prison first. ”

"Then, about six days ago, in the night they were all dead, crushed by the tombstones. We didn't hear screams or cries for help, and the next day when we came to the room to check on their bodies, all crushed to pieces by the tombstones!"

Bai Biao's legs were weak, and he slipped to the ground softly holding on to the fence.

He suddenly realized what the strange smell in the cell was:

The smell of blood after coagulation dries up and rots.

He was quite familiar with the smell, because their shop sometimes had to kill the pigs themselves, and the pig's blood accidentally flowed on the ground and could not be cleaned up in time, and it was the smell after a little decay.

The cell boss was also in a bad mood, and he said to himself: "We knew that something had happened, so we packed up the corpse and threw away the tombstone, and then the cell area was vacant." ”

"It stands to reason that we have checked in the past few days, and this prison area is fine, so we put you in again. ”

"It seems that this is the wrong decision. We have all forgotten that today is the seventh day of the death of those tomb robbers, the day of their first seven souls!"

Bai Biao shouted: "Don't say it, don't say it! My lord, you are scaring me! This must be at the mercy of the heavenly prison, and you are deliberately scaring me! There are no ghosts at all, where are there ghosts? I am not afraid of ghosts! There are no ghosts!"

The cell boss laughed when he heard this, and said, "Haha, yes, you are very smart, it seems that I did not scare you." ”

With a low grin, he raised his torch and turned to leave.

When the figure disappeared, he said again: "Don't be afraid, it's not a tombstone but a stone desk, you just touched a 'first' word to misunderstand, you touch it carefully and you will know that it is engraved with 'the worries of the world first'." ”

Bai Biao's heart was a little more settled, he hurriedly pounced on his hand and stretched out his hand to continue to touch the words on the stone tablet, and the second word was very simple: a little bit, a little bit, a ......

Father!

Father!

Bai Biao screamed and stepped back, and then he reacted: How did the cell boss know that he had only touched the word 'first' just now?

He screamed again, but this time no matter how much he screamed, no one came.

The whole cell became dark and gloomy, and it was dead silent!

He screamed for a while, feeling tired and cold, so he folded his arms and shrank into the corner of the doorway, and when he inadvertently turned his head, he saw a dark figure standing at the door of the cell.

Or rather, a dark shadow floating.

The bleak moonlight shone through the skylight, and it had no feet.

The black shadow saw him turn around and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Housheng, I'm not human, I'm a ghost......"

"Ahhh

Bai Biao howled, and the black shadow waited peacefully.

When he closed his mouth, the black shadow said: "Housheng, I'm not here to scare you, nor am I here to harm you, I'm just cold feet, looking for you to buy a pair of shoes, you see, I have money." ”

He stretched out his arm, and on the palm of his hand was a gold baht.

Bai Biao crawled backwards and shouted, "I don't want it! I don't sell it, I don't sell it!"

The shadow floated in through the gate and said, "Sell me a pair of shoes, and I'll give you a gold baht." ”

"I'm not selling, you go!"

"Sell me a shoe and I'll give you a golden baht!"

"Go, go, go, I beg you!"

In a panic and panic, Bai Biao thought of a folk method to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, that is, boy urine!

He hurriedly unbuckled his belt, and as a stream of water erupted, the ghost figure floated away helplessly.

Seeing the ghost disappear, Bai Biao sat down weakly on the ground, he looked at the faint darkness in a daze, and suddenly cried with sadness.

He wiped his tears and found that the cell had become darker, at first he thought it was tears blocking his eyes, but when he wiped away his tears, he found that the cell was still dark, like-

The skylight was blocked.

So he subconsciously raised his head.

A face poked out of the skylight, looking at him gloomily.

They glanced at each other, and another arm stretched out from the skylight: "Hou Sheng, I'll buy you a shoe, I'll give you money......"

"Whew!" Bai Biao screamed and rushed to the door, "I said everything, don't torture me! Lord Wang, don't torture me! Help me, help me! I will say everything I know!"

But no one came out of nowhere to hear.

On this cold night, Wang Qilin slept very soundly.

He hugged Eight Meow in his left hand and Jiuliu in his right hand, and kicked Eight Meow down when his feet were cold, these two little things were like two small stoves, roasting him comfortably.

Bai Biao was sent to the Yamen and handed it over to Wu Jingzhan, Wang Qilin didn't continue to care about him, he knew that it must be simple to clean up such a braised meat apprentice with Wu Jingzhan's means, and he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

The snow has been coming very hard these days, and snowflakes have fallen again in the middle of the night.

So the morning sun rose, and Wang Qilin went out to see that the yard was full of snow again.

Black Bean carried a broom to clear the snow and open the path, watching him scurrying around in the snow like a ground mouse, Wang Qilin was very pleased.

The nephew grew up very quickly, and he became very sensible.

Not far away, a little doll swayed out of the kitchen, also holding a broom to help clear the snow.

It's glow-in-the-dark.

Wang Qilin walked over and crossed his arms to look down at the night light, and said, "Where did you come from? There are no outsiders here, can you really admit it?"

Eight Meow stood up and prepared to pose for the thunder hand Wen Tailai boxing, Jiuliu grinned and wanted to be ruthless, at this time a figure of a fish cover appeared behind the kitchen door.

Then Eight Meow jumped up and punched Wang Qilin's buttocks, and Nine Six opened his mouth and bit him on the foot, and the two of them quickly switched sides and stood on both sides of the luminous.

Glow-in-the-dark grinned.

Wang Qilin waved his hand enthusiastically at the fish cover and said, "Morning, little fish, what is breakfast today?"

The fish cover came over and touched the head of Eight Meow and stroked the head of Ninety-six, and then took away the luminous.

She turned her back to Wang Qilin and said: "Seventh Master, the grievances between my sister and my father have been cleared, Zhou Yu has become a sheep, Wu Weilai was imprisoned by Tingtian Prison, and Liu Bo was also taken to the capital by Ge Shuai, the case is understood, I am leaving." ”

Wang Qilin smiled helplessly: "Don't be angry, I just teased the night light." ”

The fish cover turned his head to face the sun and showed a smiling face, and said: "Seventh Master, I'm not angry, I'm really happy to know you, you have brains, you are very powerful, you have a sense of justice, you are great." ”

"I'm glad I met you, otherwise I don't think my sister and my dad would be able to look at each other, and I'm so grateful to you. But things understood, I really should go, I don't belong here with the glow-in-the-dark. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, I admit that I scared the night light just now, but I really want to do it for your good, I just want to know the true identity of the night light!"

Yu Hood smiled and said: "Seventh Master, I really want to leave too, in fact, I secretly ran out of Miaoyin Pavilion, I have to go back, otherwise the master will be angry." ”

She picked up the night light and walked to her bedroom, Wang Qilin was stunned.

A friend is leaving.

However, he has become accustomed to the separation between friends, just like the separation from Dou Dachun when he left Jixiang County.

He walked out of the post house, and the city was white again.

It's a good time in the morning, and the city is full of smoke.

To his surprise, the streets were clean, and the roads were swept away.

Who is so diligent?

The fifth flavor is particularly clean at the door, and the Suisui lady has set up a breakfast shop as usual, cooking oil and the aroma lingering, attracting many families inside and outside the alley to buy breakfast.

The plan of the day begins in the morning, and the excitement of the day begins with a warm and sweet breakfast.

Wang Qilin likes to see the busy and simple life of the common people, he remembered a painting he had seen in his dream, the painting was called "Qingming Riverside Picture", he felt that the people's life he saw was a living "Qingming Riverside Picture".

For one term of office, protect one party.

Guarding the safety of the people on one side is more rewarding than being promoted.

The snow was cleared from the streets, and the people walked easily, and the snow piled up on both sides of the road, which attracted some children to have snowman snowball fights.

Wang Qilin walked along the street, and the people avoided it one after another, and Eight Meow and Nine Six held their heads high, as if walking on the street were a tiger and a wolf.

The two of them were quite proud of the people's avoidance.

It was as if they were patrolling their own territory, and the people of the city were like their people.

The weather was cold and snowy, and many families left their ingredients outside to freeze.

Cabbage and frozen tofu under the snow are common, and some people hang a few fresh fish in the yard to freeze them, which attracts many wild cats to sneak in and steal the fish.

However, the fish is hung on an erected pole, the pole is slender, the wild cat can't climb up, the fresh fish hangs one zhang high, and the wild cats jump and can't reach it.

This made the wild cat anxious, and meowed in circles around the pole.

Eight Meow spat contemptuously after seeing this scene, and it walked in and stood up, stretched out a paw and swept towards the cats:

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes of the four fields are helpless against a few fish, which makes my meow dynasty have no face?

The wild cats were shocked by its momentum and got out of the way, and the eight meows walked over to the dry land and plucked the onions and jumped up one foot high, and easily pulled a fish down with a wave of their claws.

When it landed, it stood up and pushed it forward with its front paws, holding down the long bamboo pole.

Tiger pushes the mountain!

The bamboo pole bends and the remaining fish get closer and closer to the ground.

The wild cats were excited to jump to catch fish, when they suddenly let go of their hands and let the bamboo poles bounce back.

Seeing this, the wild cats were dazed, and then Eight Meow snapped his tail and broke the bamboo pole:

The purpose of this is to make the wild cats know the difference between each other, and you can only meow at the fresh fish, but the meow has a hundred and eight ways to get them down!

Frozen fish hit the ground, and wild cats scrambled.

After all, there are fewer fish and more cats, and they start to fight!

The wild cats tore together, and the screams rang out.

Normally, the cat's meow is gentle and soft, like a young woman calling for her lover, and after drying, the cat's meow is hoarse and piercing, like a shrew beating a mistress.

Their call was so good that it alarmed the people in the house.

A woman went out suspiciously, and saw her frozen fish falling to the ground, and the yard full of wild cats tearing each other, and suddenly became anxious, picked up a broom and shouted: "Death to the old lady!"

The feral cats were scared and peeed.

Seeing this, Eight Meow hated that iron was not made of steel, and it made a cat meow, a rabbit got up and down, and rushed to the woman to stop her.

Slowly stood up, and the boxing of the thunder hand Wen Tailai reappeared in the rivers and lakes!

The woman was stunned.

She's never seen such an arrogant cat!

Wang Qilin got angry and shouted, "Eight meows, what are you doing?"

It's a bandit style!

Eight Meow was a little upset today, maybe the people hiding on the street and the adoring eyes of the wild cats before made it misunderstand the current situation, it looked back at Wang Qilin, and continued to punch at the women.

After the woman reacted, she waved a broom and pumped it to the eight meows, but the eyes flashed by the eight meows to a rabbit kicking the eagle, the eight meows spun in a gale body, the previous claws pushed the woman and the hind paws kicked up, the woman was kicked by it a buttocks, and fell screaming.

The wild cats excitedly watched the fire from the other side.

Wang Qilin saw that the situation was not good, and he went in to catch Eight Meow, and the male cat of Eight Meow twisted his waist and ran away, and he actually opened a fist fight against Wang Qilin again.

This can make Wang Qilin angry!

Rebellion?

He went to catch the eight meows, the eight meows were very neat, running around, jumping up and down, the black figure was as fast as the wind and lightning, and the wild cats who watched were enthusiastic.

The screams of the women alarmed the family and the neighbors, and many people appeared at the door.

A man rushed out of the house in a panic and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

The people at the door also wondered: "Why did the Lord who listened to the Heavenly Prison appear at Liu Laodan's house, why are you still catching cats?"

"Where are so many cats?"

"What's the matter with the black cat?"

Hearing the discussion, the woman subconsciously said, "Ah, this is the Lord who listens to the Heavenly Prison, and the black cat seems to know him very well......

"Where is the cat demon!" Wang Qilin interrupted the woman's words with a loud shout, "This official has been chasing you for many days, see where you escape today!"

He can't let people know that Eight Meow is in the same group as him, otherwise what if the people mistakenly think that he is a dog official who deceives people?

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people at the door, he made a killer move:

"Sword out!"

Listen to the thunder fly out.

Eight Meow was scared now, it was afraid to hear the thunder of thunder, and quickly jumped on the wall to escape.

Jiuliu gave it a fierce look below: Brother, go this way, the old girl covers you.

Wang Qilin pushed away the crowd and rushed out of the door, Jiuliu ran over and rolled in front of him: "Boom!"

It just started to sell cute, and was lifted up by someone on the back of its neck, and Wang Qilin hurriedly left the door of this household.

Before leaving, he threw down a mirage talisman and said quickly: "Your family has been lacking in yang energy recently, and it is easy to provoke evil spirits. ”

Behind him, a few people wept gratefully: "Good official!"

"Such a young and upright Lord Listening to the Heavenly Prison, isn't it the Iron Captain who is listening to the Heavenly Prison today?"

"Ah, he's Wang Tiewei, what a good young man, how could he fall into the mud pit two days ago?"

"It's not a mud pit, it's a dung pit, I heard he drank too much......"
