The middle-aged man and the scholar were obviously mainly young scholars, and when they saw Cui Xiu saluting, they all looked at the scholars.

The scholar was a little cold, but he was slightly surprised when he heard the words 'Anyuan County' in Cui Xiu's mouth.

He replied: "It turned out to be a fellow villager, in Xia Wu (yu), the word Zixing, and he is also from Anyuan County, this is my scholar and guard, Brother Cui wants to go back to Anyuan this time?"

"It was Brother Wu, and the name of Brother Wu's prodigy has been heard for a long time. ”

Hearing the scholar introduce himself, Cui Xiu reacted, no wonder he felt that this scholar was a little familiar before, when he was in Fucheng before, he had heard the name of this person, and he had seen it from afar.

And this person does have some fame in Anyuan County, and he also has some impressions in the memory of the original owner.

Although this Wu Zhen is only sixteen years old, he has already been on the list in this township test.

"Don't hide it from Brother Wu, I returned to my hometown in the lower township trial list, but I am not as famous as Brother Wu, I am really ashamed. ”

When Wu Zhen heard this, he smiled slightly, but quickly suppressed it, shook his head and said, "Brother Cui is just lucky." ”

He didn't know if he was saying that he was lucky, or that Cui Xiu was unlucky.

"There is a village not far ahead, and I am about to settle down, Brother Cui wants to go along?"

Hearing that this was obviously just a polite word, Cui Xiu refused with a smile.

Wu Zhen really didn't force it, nodded, then looked at the old woman, and said, "Thank you for the old lady's guidance, I'll leave first." ”

"Alas, Wu Gongzi, although the old woman is not a big place here, she can also make a settlement, this night is getting deeper, the night road is always not easy to walk, if you don't mind the old woman is simple here......

The old woman sighed suddenly.

"The old lady is polite, the three of us still have carriages and horses, after all, it is inconvenient, so it is not easy to disturb. ”

Wu Zhen smiled and interrupted.

The old woman didn't say anything more.

"Brother Cui, then I'll go first. ”

Cui Xiu smiled, another salute.

The three of them got into the carriage, and the middle-aged man looked at the old woman before rushing to the car, then looked at Cui Xiu, and shook his head slightly.

"Childe, Uncle Wu said that there is something wrong with the old woman, and Cui Gongzi is also from Anyuan County, isn't it ......?"

Wu Zhen sat quietly in the carriage, closed his eyes and recuperated, and only said softly: "A student who has failed on the list has been invited once, and he is unwilling to accompany him, what else can he do?"

"However, we also brought a child to the old woman on the side of the road, and that Cui Gongzi looked the same, Childe, did you say that this is the ghost in the book......

"The son is silent, and the strange power is confused!"

When Wu Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and he glared at the scholar, who didn't dare to say more.

......

"I've seen the old lady, just now I saw Xiaocao'er on the side of the road, I thought I was lost, but now I am relieved to send it to the old lady. ”

The carriage gradually moved away, and Cui Xiu also paid attention back to Xiaocao'er and the old woman.

Xiao Cao'er should be the granddaughter of the old woman, as for the other child who shrunk behind the old woman, Cui Xiu can't see it clearly, maybe it is Xiao Cao'er's brothers and sisters.

"Childe is polite, it's my wife who wants to thank you. ”

The old woman smiled at Cui Xiu, her ravine-ravine face, under the moonlight, a little pale.

Cui Xiu smiled slightly.

"I heard that the son is going back to his hometown, if it is not too early today, you might as well settle down here with the old woman, and it should be the old woman who thanked the son for Xiaocao'er's help?"

When Cui Xiu heard this, he was a little hesitant, he actually felt something wrong from the strange attitude of Wu Zhen and his party before, and he didn't really want to settle here.

"Still don't bother. ”

After thinking about it, although Cui Xiu didn't really want to go with Wu Zhen, the other party knew each other more or less, and it was more or less safe to follow behind.

When the old woman heard this, she wanted to speak and stopped.

Cui Xiu saluted, said hello to Xiaocao'er, and was about to say goodbye, when he just turned around, but suddenly felt a little cold little hand grabbing his left hand.

I was shocked, and when I looked back, it was Xiaocao'er's pure big eyes.

"Big brother, don't go to ......"

Xiao Cao'er was a little soft, and it seemed that she didn't want Cui Xiu to leave.

Cui Xiu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, when he suddenly paused, and there was a doubt in his heart.

I don't know if it's an illusion, in Cui Xiu's feelings, Xiaocao'er's cold little hand vaguely seems to have a trace of cool air flowing through, and at the corner of his eye, a gray smoke is slightly distorted.

Looking down at the girl seriously as if she had fixed her expression, Cui Xiu was a little hesitant to leave, among them, in addition to a strange impetus in his heart, there was also an inexplicable sense of trust brought to him by Xiaocaoer.

In a trance, Cui Xiu seemed to see the old woman's expression a little surprised, but it just disappeared in a flash.

Soon, he followed the old woman into the small courtyard, leaving only the old horse snorting outside the courtyard, rubbing the dead leaves on the ground with his hooves from time to time, as if he was a little uneasy.

"There is no food at home, only a little coarse bread and tea, don't dislike it. ”

"Where. ”

Cui Xiu smiled, looking dazed.

I ate something unconsciously, and lived in a small room next door under the arrangement of the old woman, and slept with my clothes.

......

In the second half of the night, the moonlight was as cold as water, shining through the trees and on the dead leaves.

Cui Xiu suddenly woke up, and there was fine sweat visible to the naked eye on her forehead!

"How could I sleep here?!"

Looking around, there were rotten dead leaves and many small bulging mounds.

Shocked, Cui Xiu subconsciously grabbed the long sword beside him and hurriedly got up.

I looked around in disbelief for a long time, except for the sound of insects, there was silence around me.

"...... this?"

Cui Xiu recalled it at this time, remembering Wu Zhen, Xiaocaoer, and the old woman......

What the hell is this?

Cui Xiu's face was slightly pale, last night, he was about to leave, but he was inexplicably left behind and fell asleep.

"Slippery ......"

The old horse's nose made him come back to his senses, although he was still a little confused, but Cui Xiu, who was throbbing in his heart, didn't dare to stay for a long time, walked quickly towards the old horse, and turned over.

"Drive!"

As soon as the scabbard slapped the horse's buttocks, he was about to leave in a hurry.

"Don't stay...... Don't stay ......"

Faintly, a voice with a bit of old age sounded in the illusion, like a fantasy.

Hearing this sound, Cui Xiu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment.

But he didn't know that in the fog behind him, a faint gaze kept watching him until his figure disappeared.

......

Cui Xiu didn't know how long he had been gone, but he gradually calmed down and took a breath, knowing that he was afraid that he had encountered a ghost.

There are still demons and monsters in this world?

After Cui Xiu calmed down, he was a little afraid, the time he came to this world was still short, and the original owner had never seen these things in his memory, so he inadvertently fell into the way.

He didn't doubt what happened to him, after all, everything happened in the crossing, and it was not impossible for demons and monsters to appear.

No wonder Wu Zhen and his entourage didn't look right yesterday, thinking about what he knew.

Thinking of this, Cui Xiu couldn't help but shake his head again, he didn't blame Wu Zhen, people had already invited him, and he could only blame himself for knowing less.

"Huh, what is this?"

After clearing his thoughts, Cui Xiu, who had a lot of cold sweat, quickly felt a trace of clammy coldness, and was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but unexpectedly found that in the corner of his eye, there were a few more lines of small characters condensed into distorted gray mist.

It reads:
