Dissolve the spring water and soak the spring clouds, call pedestrians through the flowers and birds, and walk in the green mountains and green waters in the spring, which is always particularly brisk. The group left Xiliuxuan and arrived at a small village in front of the mountain in the evening. The village is located on the slope at the foot of the hill, along which the houses are built, all the way to the river. There is a big mulberry tree at the entrance of the village, and the road enters the village from under this big mulberry tree.

The mulberry tree is really big, I am afraid that it will take two people to hold him, and there are some burned incense stalks in the soft soil at the base of the big tree, presumably this big mulberry tree is the symbol of this village. Xie Jiang and the others couldn't help but take a closer look at the tree.

"It's really big," Gu Zijian couldn't help but feel, "The mulberry tree in our village is the thickest and the size of a fist, and when it comes to the mulberry, we go to climb and pick it, and it doesn't grow big at all." I'm afraid this one is only their ancestor. ”

"I have seen a lot of big trees, but I have never seen a mulberry tree that grows so big. ”

"When they grow so big, the mulberries must be delicious. ”

There were a lot of marks on the trees, and the trunk was already bare, so many children should have climbed it. The most conspicuous thing is a rune pasted on it, with some unintelligible symbols on it, but the words below can be seen clearly.

"Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth,

There is a night cryer in my house,

The gentleman of the past thought about it,

The family slept until daylight. ”

Xie Jiang looked at it and read it again, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"I'm afraid that the child loves to cry at night, so I posted the list. ”

"It's just that I put my own misfortune in the mouth of others to take it away," it seems that Gao Wenjing doesn't like it either.

"But is there really such an easy thing in the world? Can we help him read a thought, and the child won't cry at night?" Gu Zijian was casual.

"Young Master Gao, you can't say that, we weren't like this when we were children. ”

"I want children to cry at night, and there's a reason for that. If you don't investigate the cause, you believe in these crooked ways, which is a problem in itself, and it has to hang at the entrance of this village. ”

"Of course hang here, this tree is the tree of our village, town and village, there is a fairy land manifestation, don't chew your tongue here," an old man next to him led a cow by and answered them.

"Then why is there a red cloth hanging on it?" Gu Zijian interjected.

"Lao Huang's family has money, and hanging a piece of cloth is nothing! ”

"Old man, how far is it from here to Tanzhou City?" Gao Wenjing saw that the old man was talking, and it was not easy to refute, so he wanted to divert the topic.

"Passing through the village and crossing the mountain in front of you, you can see Tanzhou City," the old man looked up at the four of them, and said, "But it's late now, so you might as well go again tomorrow!

"Why is it difficult to walk at night? Will you still encounter ghosts in the mountains?" Gu Zijian was straightforward and fast-talking.

"I don't know if it's going to happen. ”

"Are there really ghosts on the mountain ahead?" Xie Jiang hurriedly asked.

"I've heard of ghosts before, but there's always been bad things happening lately, I don't know if it's the ghosts you said, you just be careful!"

"Then may I ask the old man if there is a place to stay near here?" said Yanagi. Liu Sheng is Young Master Gao's entourage, and from the time Xie Jiang saw him to the present, he has said such a sentence. I asked him his name just now, and it was also said by Young Master Gao, what a strange person.

"There is no inn in our small village, after entering the village, walk along the stone road to a fork, go uphill, and after walking straight for a while, you can see a big house. That's Lao Huang's house, you go and see if they still take in passers-by!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

The old man led the cow and walked by, and the buffalo was urinating as he walked, and it stinked for a while.

"Let's go to Lao Huang's house to see, rest in this village for one night, and leave tomorrow!" Xie Jiang certainly suggested.

"Are you afraid of what the old man said badly!"

After a few people summed up, they decided to go to the old Huang's house for one night.

The village is still quite large, and the houses on both sides of the road are neatly arranged along the hillside to the hillside, which looks very comfortable.

Xie Jiang and the others had just walked a few steps along the stone road when they saw a few people walking on the opposite side. The leader is a Taoist man with a small hat and a dust whisk in his hand, and he still has words in his mouth. He was followed by a middle-aged fat man, holding a wooden box in both hands, and a small double-sided drum was placed on it. The fat man was followed by two men in green cloth and clubs, like the fat man's guards.

These four people passed by Xie Jiang and them, and they didn't care about them.

"I guess they should have come out of Lao Huang's house. Gao Wenjing looked at the backs of them walking by and said.

"Why?" Gu Zijian was of course unconvinced.

"Don't you see that person with a bit of identity still has a double-sided drum in his hand?"

"Then what's there? Who can't do that, the Taoist priest in front of me even took a whisk!"

"Oh, that guy has a double-sided drum that only a child can play!"

"What's wrong? I also played it when I was a child, Xie Jiang, have you ever played this?"

"I don't, but I've seen other people's kids play. ”

"Have you ever heard of 'The Conjuring'?"

"Of course, when I hear that people have lost their souls, they will ask those 'Taoist priests' to help 'summon souls'. Oh, are you saying that they are going to 'summon spirits'?" Xie Jiang had heard.

"Whenever someone is sick and it's hard to get better. Many people can't afford to hire a doctor, so they will use this method. Invite a Taoist priest, a great immortal or something, and with incense money, you can make a 'conjuring spirit'. For example, adults are in a bad mental state, children cry non-stop, and so on. ”

"So the children of the old Huang family cry at night, this is to make a 'conjuring' for the children of the old Huang family. ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten," Gao Wenjing was very sure.

"Yellow fat thief, Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson today," with a sudden shout, Xie Jiang and the others turned around and saw two young men rushing towards the group of people who had just walked by.

It's a pity that the team was not affected at all, and the two people in green cloth with sticks in the back easily taught these two people a lesson. Everyone who watched it couldn't bear it.

"Yellow fat thief, don't be complacent, one day you will fall into our hands," the lesson was not very serious, and the two of them helped each other away, and they kept muttering.

"It seems that this old Huang family is also very domineering in the local area. ”

"Let's go, let's also go and see how this old Huang family is domineering," Gu Zijian was a little angry, because he couldn't get used to these bullying things.

"Little Guzi, what's wrong, can't get used to it? They still don't know who is right and who is wrong, so you are so indignant," Gao Wenjing joked about Gu Zijian.

Gu Zijian stopped talking, Xie Jiang was shocked, yes, I was also thinking about it just now, and the fat man Huang bullied people, and before he could figure out what was right or wrong, he had already gone aside.
