Chapter 8: The Female Ghost in the Village
Xia Bai looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Zhao Tian, and couldn't help but be shocked again, and hurriedly said, "Your son......? How could he ...... Will ......"
She knew that Zhao Tian got married the year before last, had a child last year, and invited the whole village to eat and drink when the full moon was done, and she also hugged the little guy at that time, and the little guy was white and fat, and very healthy, how could he suddenly die, could it be that he had some kind of sudden illness? She couldn't help asking: "What disease did he have?"
Zhao Tian laughed, his voice was miserable, and he shouted: "Sick, Aunt Xia, my son's body is in the back room, you and Uncle Li are both doctors, you can see it at a glance." With that, he turned and walked back to the back room.
Xia Bai was full of suspicion, glanced at Li Ji, Li Ji nodded and said, "It's okay for you to go and see, this matter is very bizarre, I'm afraid that there will be a time when the two of us will be used in the future." ”
Xia Bai smiled slightly, thinking: "Since the eldest brother said so, he must be going to intervene in this matter, but I don't know what kind of strange thing it is, even he can't hold it back?"
Looking at the layout of the inner room, it seems to be the room of Zhao Tian's family. On the bed is a baby bassinet covered with a white cloth.
Zhao Tian's face was pale, he opened the white cloth, took out a baby from it, and when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the baby's little face, and he couldn't help but feel another sharp pain in his heart. He burst into tears and said to Xia Bai: "Xia...... Aunt Xia, look...... You see......"
Xia Bai stepped forward quickly, and when he looked at the baby, he saw that the child had a blue complexion, skin and bones, and a wound the size of a copper coin on his neck, which was very strangely shaped, as if it had been bitten by someone with his teeth. Xia Bai said: "He ...... What's the matter with his injury? Who did it?"
Zhao Tian's sad and indignant face suddenly showed a look of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's a female ghost! It's a female ghost in red! Xiaobao's neck was bitten open by her, and the blood was sucked dry......"
Xia Bai was startled and said, "What are you talking about?What female ghost?"
Zhao Tian choked up and said, "I don't know either...... Just an hour ago, after I finished eating with Xiaolanzi, I was repairing tools in the yard, and Xiaolanzi was walking outside the yard with Xiaobao in her arms, and suddenly I heard her scream. When I ran out to look, I saw Xiaolanzi lying on the ground, and a woman in a red shirt standing not far away, holding Xiaobao in her arms. The woman had long hair and couldn't see her face clearly, and Xiao Lanzi shouted, 'Brother Tian, she'...... Robbed our son!'"
"I was astonished and angry, and I said, 'Who are you, and what are you going to do?' and rushed forward. The woman...... No, the female ghost suddenly let out a long and miserable laugh, and as soon as her palm was raised, a cold wind struck, and I fell to the ground on my feet. The female ghost hugged our son, and suddenly floated up to the courtyard wall, buried her head in Xiaobao's neck, and Xiaobao suddenly let out a sharp cry.
"Xiao Lanzi and I were scared down there. I rushed madly towards the courtyard wall, but the courtyard wall was a foot high, and I was in a hurry to get up!
After a moment, the female ghost looked up, and under her long hair showed a mouth full of blood. She giggled and said, 'You want a son, give it back to you!' and left Xiaobao behind, then disappeared into the darkness. When I caught Xiaobao to look at it, he was already ...... It's already ......" said this, tears welled up, and he held his son's small body tightly in his arms.
Xia Bai was stunned for a long time and said, "Just ...... That's it?. Zhao Tiandao: "Yes." I don't know what that female ghost is, why did she find our little treasure...... How can there be such a thing in our village? Our family has always been fine, and we have never offended or harmed anyone, why is this...... Why ......?"
Xia Bai frowned and said, "How can this be?...... Okay, I've got you covered. Your Uncle Li will try his best to save your family, and you can rest assured that if we can help you, we will try our best to help you. ”
Zhao Tian nodded and said, "Got it." Thank you Aunt Xia. ”
The two of them returned to the hall. When Li Ji saw them come in, he stood up and said to Zhao Tian and his parents: "Old Man Zhao and Xiao Lanzi have taken medicine, and their lives are fine, but their heart disease is difficult to get rid of. People cannot be resurrected after death, and I hope you will mourn. I'll bring some medicine tomorrow, and you'll have to arrange for someone to take care of it tonight, and if things change, come to me at any time." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhao Tian's parents and Zhao Tian sent Li Ji's family out together.
It was the night moon and the wind was clear, and Longyang Village was silvery white in the moonlight. Not far away, there may be one or two cries in the woods, and the wind blows through the woods, making a loud noise. The Hidden Dragon Mountain in the night is quiet and deep. Li Ji's family of three walked on the stone road in the village, and the sound of footsteps could be heard far away.
Xia Bai asked softly: "What Zhao Tian said, but is it true? Our Longyang Village has always been fine, when did a female ghost in red who sucked human blood appear?"
Li Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I don't believe in any female ghosts, I'm afraid it's just a woman who knows martial arts." It's just sucking human blood, it's too weird, and I don't know where it came from. ”
He glanced at Li Longyan and said lightly: "Our Longyang Village has recently appeared one after another masters, I'm afraid that something will happen, Longyan, don't go out again at night in the future." ”
Li Longyan glanced at his father's face and responded weakly.
*
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Li Ji and Xia Bai opened the shop to do business as usual. Li Longyan slept late yesterday and didn't get up until almost noon.
When he came to the courtyard, he saw his mother drying cotton clothes and quilts. Xia Bai saw him come out and said, "There are steamed buns and porridge in the kitchen, you can eat them yourself." ”
Li Longyan said: "I just got up, I don't really want to eat." He walked up to his mother, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom, I have something to ask you." ”
Xia Bai slapped the quilt with a bamboo stick and asked, "What's the matter, tell me." ”
Li Longyan said: "I heard Zhao Nan say what happened last night, I want to ask, the ability of the female ghost in red to jump on the wall, in fact, you will too, right?"
Xia Bai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What, why do you think so?"
Li Longyan said: "Then what don't you think, you dragged Zhao Nan so fast last night that even I couldn't catch up, I had already seen it." Mom, you and Daddy are both people with great skills, aren't they?"
Xia Bai pondered for a moment and said, "You are almost fifteen years old, and there are some things that you should know, but let's wait for your father to come back and tell you." ”
Li Longyan said: "Daddy, where have you gone?"
Xia Bai said: "He went to Lao Zhaotou's house to deliver medicine." Alas, the matter of Lao Zhaotou's family has spread all over the village, and the people in the village are now panicking. ”
Li Longyan was stunned for a while, and said: "Brother Zhao Tian's son is really pitiful, he was killed by a female ghost when he was still so young. Mom, you say, that female ghost...... Will it come back?"
Xia Bai shook his head: "How do I know? So, these days, don't run around at night, be careful of bumping into female ghosts!"
Li Longyan showed a smile in his eyes and said, "Others are afraid, but I'm not afraid, you and your father are so capable, you will definitely protect me, oh?"
Xia Baizhu slapped his ass and shouted, "Protect your size! You haven't practiced kung fu in the morning, go and practice!" Li Longyan grinned and jumped away.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, as if several horses were galloping from a distance. Xia Bai and Li Longyan glanced at each other, came to the front of the store together, and looked at the entrance of the village.
I saw five high-headed horses running at the entrance of the village, and immediately the passengers were all dressed in yellow, and the strength was over, and the long knife hung on the waist, and they were heroic and vigorous. The first person was about forty years old, with yellow eyebrows flying obliquely, a lock of black beard under his chin, and his eyes flashing, and his momentum was impressive.
The five people galloped to the front of Xia Baidian, stopped together, the five horses stood up, neighed loudly, and ten iron hooves fell together, with a loud bang, only to smash the sparks on the stone road. The onlookers from the village hid far away.
When the yellow-eyed man saw Xia Bai, he turned around and waved, and the five of them turned over and dismounted. The yellow-eyed man came to Xia Bai in three or two steps, gave a slight salute, and said, "Miss Xia, it's been good for a long time!"
Xia Bai returned the salute and said, "Hello Master Yue! A few big brothers are coming to our house today, I don't know what's going on?
The hall master of Nayue smiled slightly and said, "There is Miss Lao to remember, and the master of the Sun Gang is fine." In the next day, just to pass on a word, to send a letter. ”
After saying that, he took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "The old man has arrived, and he is now a guest at the main gate, and there is another letter, which is written by the master of the Sun gang and presented to the eldest lady." With that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xia Bai with both hands.
Xia Bai also took it with both hands, nodded slightly, and said: "There is the hard work of the master of Lao Yuetang, if you don't feel too cold, please move into the store and wait for the little sister to serve tea." ”
Hall Master Yue laughed and said, "Thank you, Miss, it's just that there are still important things in the gang, so I have to rush over, and I don't dare to delay more." Hey, what about Mr. Li, not in the store?"
Xia Bai said: "He went to see people sick, and he couldn't come back for a while." ”
Master Yue said: "Mr. Li's medical skills are superb, and he is hiding in seclusion here, which is really a blessing for the people of Longyang Village. Now that the next thing is over, I will take my leave, and please ask Mr. Li how he is well. ”
Xia Bai gave a salute and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Yue." In the future, if I have leisure with the master, I should come to the Golden Lion Hall to disturb again. ”
The master of the Yue hall said happily: "Since the eldest lady said so, in Xia Gong Hou Xian and his wife, the two of you must come." After saying that, they withdrew from the store, turned over and got on their horses, and the five of them waved their hands to Xia Bai and Li Longyan, whipped their horses, and galloped out of the village.
This kind of martial arts high-roller entered the village, which was something that had never happened in Longyang Village, and the villagers were surprised and shocked, and they couldn't help but talk about it, and they looked at Xia Bai with a little more awe.
