Ma Liang sorted everything out and left, saying that he had something important to do.

A few uncles didn't keep it, they just said, come back when you have something.

After Lin Xi finished taking care of it, he walked to the place where the vegetables were placed, and the small white bead on the beam of the house did exude a faint aura.

The aura is very weak, but because the door is always closed, the faint breath can also keep the food for a long time, and the origin of this small white bead is by no means so simple.

Lin Xi didn't dare to use the aura here, let alone run the breathing method, he looked at the small bead carefully, and always felt that something was wrong, this room was too strange, there seemed to be something else besides this small bead, and that thing was very attractive.

"What are you doing here?" Uncle Chen's footsteps were very soft, and he didn't know if it was deliberate or why.

Lin Xi said: "Uncle Chen, that little bead is so amazing, where did Uncle Wang get this?"

Uncle Chen said angrily: "That old boy is lucky, good fate, I don't know which master gave it to him, don't worry about this, maybe that stingy old boy will be anxious with you." ”

Lin Xi nodded, finally fooling over.

After the two of them went back, Uncle Chen casually found a place to sit down, and quickly chatted with the other two uncles.

Aunt Zheng asked where Lin Xi was from, and asked some common household words.

After eating, a few old men sat in the hall and chatted, this time they didn't talk about useless topics, they talked about their youthful spirits, graceful, and happy enmity.

When it came to chatting, several other people applauded and applauded each other. When it comes to sad things, several others are also sad.

It didn't take long for Uncle Chen to take the lead in proposing to go back, saying that he was too sleepy and had to ask Lin Xi to see him off.

Although he suffered from the white eyes of the other two masters, he still had the cheekiness to pull Lin Xi away.

After Lin Xi and the others left, Uncle Wang sat down again, and before he could speak, Aunt Zheng smiled bitterly to herself: "Lao Chen is still so stubborn. ”

The two old men did not follow the old woman's words, and the two of them did not say a word.

It wasn't until after the old woman left that Uncle Wang spoke: "Give Li Bing a message to them, there are some things that this young man can do." ”

Uncle Deng nodded and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Li Bing and they are about to make a move recently, I don't know how long we can wait." ”

Uncle Wang looked outside and said to himself, "One more day is one day." ”

Old Man Chen and Lin Xi were walking on the street, and many people looked over, as if they felt very strange. Lin Xi didn't have anything, but the old man glared back at a few old people.

Those old people were not annoyed, they just said that they didn't look at the yellow calendar when they went out.

When he arrived at the door of Old Man Chen's house, he asked, "I heard that the old man said that you want to go to the back few streets?"

Old Man Chen got straight to the point, very direct, Lin Xi didn't shirk it, and asked: "The street behind seems to be inhabited, why is it so deserted." ”

"What else? There's a baby's soul that has been hooked. Uncle Chen said calmly.

Lin Xi remembered the demon wind that night, can these two things be linked?

Uncle Chen continued: "You also know the demon wind that night, our place is very weird, and people like you who come from other places basically leave the next day. ”

Old Man Chen smiled, didn't care about the young man, opened the door by himself, and when he was only halfway open, Lin Xi asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't leave the next day?"

Uncle Chen turned around and made sure that there was still the young man in front of him, "Yes." ”

At this time, it was already past noon, Lin Xi was wandering the street alone, and at first he returned to the restaurant to inquire about the three old men.

The shopkeeper was very clear, he told Lin Xi that the three old men were known to everyone here, and everyone knew that they were the heroes who led the villagers to drive away the bandits in the early years.

What's more, the three old men are very familiar with the master of the Fu family, the Fu family is their only big family here, no one can afford to provoke them, and naturally no one will provoke the three old men.

Lin Xi felt that the words of the shopkeeper were very strange, since the three old men were heroes, why did the villagers on the street have a strange look at them?

Lin Xi's eyes were very sensitive, and when he walked with Uncle Chen, he found that the rest of the people looked at them very unnaturally.

Lin Xi no longer asked the details of the three old men, otherwise after a long time, others would not want to think about it?

He walked towards the street behind him alone, Lin Xi observed very carefully all the way, from the front to the back basically became more and more deserted, until he was about to reach the intersection of the back street, Lin Xi stood in place, opposite the street that had not seen a single figure from early to now.

And there was no one around him, not even the house.

A man walked over, patted Lin Xi on the shoulder and said, "Where did the little baby come from, I don't know the rules here?"

Another man walked over, glanced at Lin Xi and said, "This is not our baby." After speaking, he said to Lin Xi again: "Leave quickly, you can't go to the back three streets." ”

Lin Xi was puzzled: "Why can't you go?"

"Of course I can't go, but there's a demon wind in the back. A middle-aged man walked over, his hands behind his back, and the two people next to Lin Xi saluted him very respectfully.

The middle-aged man waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"My name is Li Bing, and it's my turn to come here today to guard. Li Bing said with a smile.

Lin Xi responded politely: "I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Li." ”

While the two were talking and exchanging, Lin Xi quickly looked around, and when Li Bing appeared, almost all the people hiding on this side of the street came out, and Lin Xi found that there was no one on the opposite street.

"Uncle Li, can I ask you something?" Lin Xi asked.

Li Bing smiled: "Little brother, just ask." ”

"You guys are fighting such a big battle just to guard this street entrance?" Lin Xi signaled that he had seen the layout around him, and the other meaning was to let Li Bing not make small moves, since he could see through the layout here, then he was not a soft persimmon.

Li Bing has been here for many years, how many times have he met people of all shapes, how can he not know Lin Xi's intentions, he changed his fingers behind the back of one hand, and the people behind him disappeared.

Li Bing still smiled and said: "Little brother misunderstood, we are not a black market here, it is our duty to guard this street entrance, of course, there is a reason." ”

"A very strange thing happened to us a year ago, there was a family whose child's soul was lost, which made us panic for a while, but after a while, there was no follow-up, and the family also thought that they were unlucky and provoked unclean things. ”

Lin Xi touched his chin and said, "Didn't you go to check?"

Li Bing said: "Everyone wants to believe that they have provoked some mountain spirits and ghosts, where will they investigate." ”

Lin Xi understood that no one was going to investigate, and it was clear that the people here were afraid of getting into trouble.

"But the strange thing is that less than a month has passed, there is another place where the soul of a child has been hooked away, at that time it was not that people were panicking, but almost killed, the people in the back three streets ran out desperately, and the people in front desperately stopped. Li Bing said.

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "It's because I'm afraid that there are other things among the people who come out." ”

Li Bing nodded and said, "That's it." In the end, the Fu family came forward to mediate, and the people inside couldn't come out, and the people outside couldn't go in, so they had to wait for the matter to come out. ”

Lin Xi smiled: "I don't know how long it took to mediate?"

Li Bing said: "From that time to now, it has been more than a year. ”

In fact, everyone understands the truth, where is mediation, this is to trap the people behind there alive.

Lin Xi is not a gentleman, and he will not fight for others in everything.

After saying goodbye to Li Bing, he turned a corner, stepped on the clouds, and the next moment he was already in the back three streets.

There was still no one in the three streets behind, and even the doors and windows were locked, whether they were afraid of getting into trouble, or they were afraid that it would be their turn next. This is what Lin Xi doesn't know, he just thinks that this place has no human touch, and the only thing that can prove that this is a place where people live is the wisps of cooking smoke on the roof.

It was not difficult to find the family that had taken away the soul child last night, and only one family had the door open on this street, and Lin Xi, who was not far from that house, had heard the woman's crying for a long time, intermittently, very small and very desolate.

Lin Xi took a closer look, it was a mother holding her child crying stupidly, there were no tears in her eyes, this woman didn't care about everything around her at all, even Lin Xi, who had already approached her, she didn't even look at it.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Lin Xi said, his voice very low, for fear of irritating the woman.

The woman ignored Lin Xi, as if she had long been accustomed to the cold of the world, and would not pay attention to others at all, only caring about the child who no longer had a little blood in her arms.

Lin Xi looked around, yes. The neighbors have been in the neighborhood for so many years, but none of them have come to greet them. There really isn't a bit of a human habitation here.

A man came out of the house, and when he saw Lin Xi, he hurriedly pulled the woman in, and closed the door with him, but he didn't know how fast the young man in front of him was, and when he closed the door, the young man had already arrived behind him.

The young man looked harmless to humans and animals, and there was still no expression on his face, and he couldn't see his inner thoughts at all, which made the man feel scared for a while.

"Uncle, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Lin Xi explained.

The man just nodded, still afraid of the young man in front of him.

This can't be said that the men are timid, the people who work hard, the people who work hard, not only the fatigue of their hard work every day, but also that they are too honest and responsible, and they are bullied by others, and they can almost only endure it.

It's not that they don't dare, but they are the pillars of the family, if things get big, they get into trouble, and there is no pillar in the family, and the family will be over.

Not to mention those people who love to bully and exploit the low-level people, the peasants account for the majority.

So toil, toil. You work diligently every day, and you have to suffer the anger of those big families, can this not be bitter?

The man protected their mother and son, and did not dare to approach Lin Xi.

Lin Xi couldn't help but simply say: "Auntie, uncle, don't worry, I was called by the three old men." ”

"Three old men, which are they?" the man finally asked in a low voice.

Lin Xi continued: "It's Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang. ”

The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xi, and a little light appeared in her eyes that couldn't even shed tears when she was crying.

She whimpered and spit out a sentence from her mouth: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, are they going to help us?"

When Lin Xi heard the woman's tone, he thought to himself that the three old men were indeed not simple, and the woman who couldn't spit out a word just now spoke normally.

"Yes, they brought me in to help. Really, I never lie. ”

Lin Xi glanced at the child the woman was holding, and said softly, "You have to let me see what's going on, of course, it's better to let me know what's going on." ”

"Uncle, can you tell me what happened last night?" said the boy.

Lin Xi always kept a certain distance from the woman holding the child, and glanced at it slightly and did not look again, in case the woman was frightened again.

The man thought for a while, put down his guard and said softly: "Yesterday was not the same as usual, the demon wind blew the doors and windows non-stop, we knew what was going on, so naturally we wouldn't open the door and ignore it, just as if nothing happened outside." ”

Out of an abundance of caution, I went to the child's room anyway to take a look, and as a result, the child was not in bed, and I immediately realized that something was wrong. ”

"I hurriedly ran to the door, the door was opened, my baby was standing outside the door, I immediately went to try to pull him back, but it turned out to be ......"

The man said that he was a little choked up here, tears rolled in his eyes, and finally he held back, his wife was already crying a little distracted, if he didn't bury these grief in his heart, then their family would really be over.

Lin Xi touched his chin, thought for a while, and continued to ask, "Your child is alone outside the door?"

"Yes, it's my baby alone outside. The man was a little puzzled, but he still answered the young man seriously.

"Is it just that as soon as the door is opened, the child's soul will be snatched away?" Lin Xi muttered to himself, this voice can still be heard.

"Yes, as soon as the door is opened, the child's soul is directly snatched away. It's definitely the demons who are doing it, little brother, please help me. The man said with some excitement.

Lin Xi fell into deep thought, he had only heard Cheng Yi say a little about the soul leaving, but at that time, he didn't listen to it as an interesting matter.

Lin Xi walked towards the woman and comforted the woman that she was fine, he couldn't run the breathing method now, and he couldn't see the situation of the soul in the child's body, but Lin Xi obviously felt that the aura in the child's body was chaotic.

Once the soul leaves the body, then all parts of the body will lose control, in this case, the person is still alive, the pulse, the heartbeat is still continuing, but it can only be like a table and chair, unable to move, without thinking.

The man followed, looking at him anxiously. Lin Xi's face was as calm as ever, he didn't like others to guess his thoughts, and he was used to being as calm as a lake when others observed him, without a ripple.

At the crossroads, Li Bing said to the people in the corner: "That young man left and didn't go in." ”

"Sure. ”

"That's a little bit uncertain. Li Bing said.

"I'm not sure. The man looked across the street and smiled helplessly.
