At night, a person at the door of Xuzhou Xufu knocked desperately on the door, the family opened the door, and the man went straight to the inner hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Why are you here so late? A young man asked.

"I, I, I, just got home and saw this. Another tall man said breathlessly.

"You take your breath and say, something. ā€

The tall man breathed a sigh of relief and took out something from his pocket, it was a crimson morning glory, and a ribbon was tied under the branch, and a few blood-red characters were written on the ribbon: "The evil ghost asks for his life, and the blood debt is paid in blood!"

Seeing the big words, the young man was so frightened that he dropped the morning glory.

"It's really her, it's really her, she's back asking for her life, she's coming back to ask for her life!" said the tall man tremblingly.

The young man calmed down and said, "Nonsense, someone must be playing a prank!"

"No, you see that Wang Qiang was burned to death the next day after receiving this flower, and Zhang Jin has not been seen for several days, I estimate that it was Zhang Jin who floated on the Fengxi River before. Now it's my turn, it's my turn, what should I do, what should I do!" The tall man shouted a little out of control.

"Smack", the young man slapped the tall man in the face, "Be quiet for me, now that my parents have gone to bed, are you trying to wake them up?"

After being beaten, the tall man calmed down somewhat, but still said in his mouth: "This is definitely not a coincidence, it was full of such morning glories that day, and it can't be burned with fire, it's definitely not a coincidence, it's definitely not." ā€

"Don't be afraid, where are the ghosts and gods in this world, even if there is me Xu, I am not afraid, you don't go out in the past two days, go home and close the doors and windows. Your home is in the downtown area, and even if someone really comes to seek revenge, it won't be so convenient. Besides, I heard that the yamen has invited the gods of Zhongzhou to help solve the case, and I estimate that the murderer will be arrested soon. The young man said.

"Of course you are not afraid, let's not say that you have not received morning glory, even if you receive so many family members in your house to protect you, what can happen to you! I will depend on my old mother for my life, if something happens to me, what will my mother do? Besides, Wang Qiang's family of three has suffered, and I think this evil ghost is going to come and kill them all. No, I'm going to the yamen, I'm going to the yamen for protection. The tall man shouted.

"Wait, what are you doing in the yamen, you want to report what happened back then?" said the young man with a dark face.

"Say, I'm going to confess everything, maybe the evil spirits won't come to me, and if I don't confess, why should the people of the yamen believe me? The tall man shouted.

"Li Wei, I warn you, the four of us swore an oath back then, and if a fifth person learns about this matter, the informant will definitely not die well. The young man said word for word.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me? Shouldn't Zhang Jin and Wang Qiang be killed by you? Do you want to kill people and kill people? It's not that easy. The tall man shouted.

"I advise you not to talk nonsense, but to think of your elderly mother. Get home for me and lock the doors and windows. Be careful with your words and deeds! The young man threatened.

Immediately afterwards, several family members walked in outside and took the tall man named Li Wei away.

"The evil ghost asks for his life, and the blood debt is paid by blood, hmph, I want to see if it is you who is the devil, or if I am evil!" said the young man who had been left alone in the room.

The next day, autumn is getting stronger, and the yellow leaves on the branches gradually lose their vitality and drift away with the wind. It has been a few days since the fire at Wang Orion's house, and people have gradually forgotten about it, and Xuzhou City has returned to its former tranquility.

After returning home last night, Li Wei stayed awake all night, staring at the door with his eyes, for fear that as soon as he closed his eyes, some demons and monsters would rush into the house and swallow him alive. In the morning, the chickens and birds chirped, and Li Wei went out to buy food.

Li's mother loved the crucian carp in the Fengxi River the most in her life, and her health has been poor recently, so Li Wei will buy a fresh crucian carp every day to make soup for it.

"Li Wei, are you here to buy a crucian carp for your mother today?" said the fishmonger with a smile.

"yes, come and pick a fresh and tender one for me. Li Wei said.

"Okay, for your filial piety, I'll give you the fattest one I caught today. The fishmonger grabbed a crucian carp from the basket and handed it to Li Wei.

"Thank you, how much silver?" asked Li Wei as he took the crucian carp.

"Give you a filial piety discount, 1 tael. The fishmonger laughed.

After Li Wei handed over the money, he walked back, and on the way, suddenly a child ran up to him and said, "Uncle, someone asked me to give you this letter." ā€

"Oh, thank you. Li Wei took the envelope, opened it, and instantly frightened the crucian carp to the ground, a crimson morning glory in the envelope was verdant in the sun, and there was a piece of paper under the flower, which read: "Mother is not to blame, tonight, alone, see you in Puting." ā€

Li Wei returned to the door of the house in a trance, and in order not to worry his mother, he calmed down and entered the house.

"Mom, I'll give you crucian carp soup. Li Wei smiled at Mother Li.

"Wei'er, it's really hard for you to make soup for your mother every day. It's really useless to be a mother, and it's a burden to you. Mother Li sighed while lying on the bed.

"Mom, if you say this, it is normal to be a son's filial mother. You can rest well, drink more crucian carp soup to replenish, and your body will be better immediately. Li Wei smiled, and went to the kitchen to work after speaking.

This may be the last bowl of soup he made for his mother, Li Wei wiped away his tears and carefully handled the crucian carp. In any case, Li Wei still has a trace of relief in his heart: as long as my life can be exchanged for my mother's life, it is worth it no matter what.

Today's soup is particularly delicious, after drinking it, Mother Li held Li Wei's hand and urged him to drink more, Li Wei nodded, took out a bowl and drank it all.

"Mom, there are still some silver taels under the bed, which I usually save, if you want to spend it, you can get it, don't ask me. Also, this crucian carp is big today, so I cooked two pots of soup, and one pot I heated on the stove, if you are thirsty and want to drink it, you can serve it yourself. As he spoke, Li Wei was already a little choked.

"Wei'er, what's wrong?" Mother Li asked with concern.

"It's okay, wait for me to go out for something, it may take a few days to come back, when I'm not there, you have to take care of yourself, if you have something, call Xiao Wang next door for help, I have already said hello to him." Li Wei said.

"I'm fine, you can go with confidence, the man is ambitious, don't be dragged down by my old woman. Mother Li said.

"Well, Mom, then, then I'm leaving, you have to take care. After speaking, Li Wei walked out of the house, without looking back, went straight out of the city, and finally disappeared into the corner.

He didn't dare to look back, because he was afraid of seeing his mother's wrinkled face, afraid of seeing his mother's caring eyes, afraid of thinking about how his mother lived when he was away, afraid of 怂怂怂怂怂怂

Puting, located in Xuzhou outside the city of two miles of the official road side, more travelers than the pavilion rest, so the government has funded it to repair a good one, the pavilion pillar four long dragons coiled up, the four corners of the pavilion top are angular, and the surrounding branches and leaves echo each other, under the night, it seems that a monster is in the haze with teeth and claws, waiting for the prey to enter the net.

Li Wei came to Puting early and quietly waited for the moment of judgment.

Finally, the time has come. Li Wei's heart was pounding and beating rapidly, and he looked around carefully, for fear that if he was not careful, an evil ghost would come to his face.

Time passed minute by minute, and when it was almost ugly, nothing appeared. Li Wei gradually let down his vigilance, thinking to himself: Could it be that the evil ghost has let me go?

was ready to die generously, but now that a glimmer of life suddenly appeared, Li Wei's heart began to hesitate, and all kinds of emotions that are common to human beings alternately surged into his heart.

Is it leaving? Is it staying? Is it testing me? If I leave now, will I lose all my efforts? What should I do with my old mother? What if I turn the tiger away from the mountain and the evil ghost targets my mother? What should I do?

Just when Li Wei was struggling in his heart, something slowly walked in the distance.

Huh, what does it smell like?

Li Wei slowly raised his head, only to see a huge black thing running quickly from a distance, and instantly jumped in front of him, this thing was dark all over, the hair was like a sharp knife, and his eyes were red and shining, Li Weiwei shouted for help, seeing that the claws were about to tear his chest, suddenly several figures flashed around, and a stick hit the monster's head, only to hear a loud "bang", and the monster was forced to fly several feet.

Stealing under the claws, Li Weiwei gasped, and a familiar voice sounded on the side.

"Let's see if you can escape from my clutches today!" The one who spoke was Xu Yun, the son of the Xu family he met last night.

"Xu Yun, why are you here!?" Li Wei asked in surprise.

"Li Wei, you have to thank me, if it weren't for me, you would have died here tonight. Xu Yun said with a smile.

"Li Wei, our son-in-law is clever, set up a game to lure the snake out of the hole, and has already been ambushed here, just waiting for this beast to enter the trap. A Xu Mansion Nursing Home on the side said with a smile.

"What kind of beast is my Tao, it is really cruel, but a beast is a beast after all, what evil ghost asks for life, see if we can't go back to hell today. The other one laughed.

Suffering a sudden attack, the monster was already angry in his heart, and then saw the other party despise him so much, he was furious, and instantly pounced on the nearest person, the speed was extremely fast, and the person had no time to react and was torn by the monster in the chest.

After knocking down one person, the monster quickly attacked the second person, who was ready, and flashed the attack sideways, and several people behind him immediately took out a large net covered with sharp wires, and each of them held a corner and covered the monster like a net from heaven and earth. The monster screamed, but it didn't have time to escape the encirclement, and was caught by the barbed wire. The more the monster struggled, the deeper the wire sank into the flesh, and the monster in pain screamed.

"Hahahaha, let's go, let's catch this evil ghost back and let the people of Xuzhou see it. Xu Yun laughed.

"Childe has become our big hero in Xuzhou this time, and those Zhongzhou gods are not worth mentioning in Childe's eyes. One of the nurses laughed.

"Hahahaha. The crowd laughed.

At this time, Li Wei had also slowly calmed down, thinking about his mother's safety, and hurriedly walked on the way back.

"Yes, I'll come and see where our hero in Xuzhou is?" Suddenly, a female voice floated in the distance, ethereal and moving.

"Who is it?" Xu Yun shouted.

I saw that the sound came from the direction where Li Wei ran, and suddenly a burst of fire rushed to the sky, Li Wei was on fire all over his body, and he fell to the ground.

In the shadow of the fire, a figure slowly floated out, no, it was not a human figure, it was a ghost shadow. A skull hung over its neck, its right hand was fleshless, and between its pale phalanges was a huge fiery dragon that floated in the air, and flames protruding from its mouth from time to time.

Seeing this ghost, the guards were in a commotion, and Xu Yun shouted: "Go, take it down, I will be rewarded!"

The two bold guards rushed towards the ghost, but before they could reach their bodies, a long flame spat out of the fire dragon's mouth, burning them to charred corpses.

Seeing this, the rest of the nursing homes had already scattered in fright, and no matter how Xu Yun coerced and lured, they were indifferent. Xu Yun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly fled with the nurses, strangely, the ghosts and monsters did not catch up, and finally, Xu Yun returned to the Xu Mansion under the escort of the nurses, and has been closed since then.
