The dim night shrouded the silence of Ningshan County, and on a street that was not very spacious, a beautiful woman walked slowly carrying a white lantern that emitted a faint light.

The dark streets were deserted, and occasionally a cold night breeze blew and swayed the corners of the woman's dress.

"Piao'er, where are you? Ma Xinghua sighed in her heart, looked around, and unconsciously walked to her own cake shop.

The second shop at the end of the street, the woman looked up at the plaque engraved with 'Wu Ji Cookbread', and hot tears flowed from her eyes.

Recalling the ups and downs of the past, Ma Xinghua wiped away the tears in her eyes and walked towards a small side street at the end of the street. Just as she had just taken a few steps and passed the entrance of the alley of her shop, she suddenly spotted a almost transparent, faint white figure squatting in the alley.

The moment she saw the figure, the woman who had just stopped her tears shed tears again, she stared blankly at the little figure squatting on the ground in the alley, and shouted sadly, "Piao'er." ”

The shout was not loud, but it was heard far away in the silence of the night. But the little figure squatting in the alley, only two feet away from her, still squatted on the ground as if she hadn't heard it, and drew circles on the ground with her head down.

"Piao'er, I'm my mother, can't you hear me?" Ma Xinghua hurriedly shouted again, seeing that the little figure still didn't move, she suddenly remembered Li Ge's words before, and hurriedly took out a small ball of mud and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times and then shouted, "Piao'er, can you hear my mother's words?"

After the woman's voice fell, the little figure's body shook for a moment, and then raised its head and looked at both ends of the alley in confusion, and then lowered its head and began to cry, as if it did not see the woman.

"Piao'er! Mother is here, come quickly. The woman looked at the poor and helpless phantom, took the jade from her body, and called out softly to her.

The little phantom who was crying heard the call, raised her head at this time, she followed the sound step by step and slowly walked towards Ma Guihua, when she was still half a zhang away from the woman, the little figure stared at the jade in the woman's hand, shouted 'Niang' and then turned into a ball of white light and drilled into the jade.

"My mother has finally found you. After holding the jade stick to her chest and pausing for a moment, Ma Xinghua carried the white paper lantern and walked towards the small side street with a firm expression.

This small horizontal street road is very narrow, the left end of the street is a cemetery in the county, and the right end is a road leading to the center of the county, in the middle of which there is a large garden.

"Usually Piao'er likes to go to Kang Yuan Yuan, and she will definitely be found there. The woman stood at the fork in the road and thought for a moment, and went straight in the direction of Kang Yuen.

Because it is a public garden, there is no courtyard wall building in Kang Yuen, but a big sign is set up outside the garden gate, which is engraved with three big characters of Kang Yuen. There are green lawns, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, and ancient trees in the park.

After walking for a while, Ma Xinghua came to the outside of the garden, she glanced at the big stone plaque, and walked directly into it with a white lantern.

When passing by a rockery, a biting cold wind suddenly blew on Ma Xinghua's back, and she couldn't help but shiver, and her footsteps stopped suddenly.

At this moment, there was a "hee~" laugh behind the woman, and there was a coldness in this voice.

"No matter what ghost you encounter, don't panic, don't look at it, as if you didn't see it. Ma Xinghua, who wanted to look back, suddenly sounded Li Ge's words in her head, her slightly trembling body froze, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and continued to walk forward with the lantern.

"Woo~" A strange voice sounded less than a foot behind the woman, and a cold breath suddenly enveloped her whole body. Due to the fright just now, Ma Xinghua at this time was in a cold sweat all over her body, and now she was wrapped in the sudden cold, she felt as if she had fallen into the ice and snow.

"Ma Xinghua, don't be afraid, it's okay. The woman muttered to herself silently in her heart, she did not look back, and did not dare to look back, at this time she only wanted to see her daughter's almost transparent little figure for the next time.

After walking forward a few dozen steps, the woman felt the cold air that wrapped her body gradually subside, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clutched the jade in her hand and walked towards a pavilion not far from her.

As soon as she walked into the pavilion, Ma Xinghua saw an illusory figure squatting on the ground at the corner of the pavilion, and a smile appeared on her slightly pale face. Hurriedly walked around to the second remnant soul of the daughter under the pavilion, stuffed a piece of mud in his mouth, and raised the jade to evoke "Piao'er." ”

After the second remnant soul got into the jade, the smile on the woman's face became stronger, she looked at the jade in her hand happily, and muttered to herself, "There is one last one, Piao'er, my mother will definitely be able to find you." ”

Just as Ma Xinghua was staring at the jade with it, a figure floated over from the direction she had come from before. She glanced sideways, and her smiling face sank.

Although it was only a glance, Ma Xinghua still saw the figure clearly, it was a female figure floating in the air, her body shining with yellow light.

The yellow ghost approached, and the woman felt the coldness wrapped in the cold, but at this time she did not show the slightest fear. Putting away the jade pendant, the woman lowered her head and stared at the lantern in her hand and went straight to the pavilion.

As soon as she stepped into the pavilion, Shicai's strange sound of "woo~" sounded once, and then a pair of feet half a foot off the ground and wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes came into her eyes.

The woman with her head bowed closed her eyes and took a dozen steps forward with a clutch of the lantern in her hand. In the middle, she felt a soft resistance, as if there was nothing, and there was a coolness like the ice that had melted on her body.

"Can you see me?" Just as the woman had taken more than ten steps, a desolate female voice came into her ears behind her.

In this empty and silent garden, Ma Xinghua knew that the voice was asking herself, but Li Ge confessed that she couldn't pay attention to the ghosts. So at this time, she ignored the voice, and without any pause in her steps, she walked straight forward.

After bowing her head and walking a few dozen steps, the cold chill disappeared for once, and the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to search for other corners of the garden.

After a short time, Ma Xinghua searched for Kang Yuan, but still didn't see her daughter's third remnant soul.

"In addition to the house and the shop, Piao'er has been to this Kang Paradise at most, if there is no here, will she go there?" The woman who walked to the gate of the garden calculated in her heart, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes that glistened with tears.

Walking aimlessly on the street, the woman's confused look was gradually replaced by anxiety, tears blurred her eyes, the second candle in the lantern in her hand was about to burn out, and before she knew it, she saw a home not far away.

"Hmm~" The desperate Ma Xinghua cried bitterly, and she dragged her heavy steps towards home. Just when she was disheartened, in the bamboo forest behind her neighbor and her own alley, she saw an illusory figure flashing with a faint white light.
