When Uncle Xi went home, Liu Xuzhu was standing in the courtyard, staring at the full moon in the sky.
"Liu Gongzi, it's the summer heat now, so it's cooler at night, why don't you take this opportunity to rest more, you should be very tired today."
Liu Xujiao waved his hand, "I think about the things in the daytime, and I always can't sleep, I don't know if Uncle Xi has any judgment on this?"
That Yan Tian's daughter-in-law died quite strangely, is it also a soul asking for her life?
” Uncle Xi smiled miserably, "Other than that, we can't think of any other reason." ” "But that child, why did she spare her life, if she really wanted revenge, wouldn't it be better to simply cut the grass and eradicate it?"
"Where can I figure out her thoughts?"
Xi Bo walked around Liu Xuzhu to the well, picked up a handful of water from the barrel and slapped it on his face, and sighed lightly, "But that child is really pitiful, he was cut out of his belly by his mother, and he became an orphan as soon as he was born." ” Liu Xuzhu also sighed with him unconsciously, he also came to the well, sat side by side with Uncle Xi, and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans in the future?"
” "Bai Yong, they will go to Luoyang tomorrow, I heard that there is an abbot there who has a high magic power, can help people exorcise demons and eliminate demons, if they can invite him back, maybe this village will be saved."
"It's okay to give it a try, but if Miss Leng's demons are not removed, I'm afraid this strange thing will be difficult to get rid of."
"It's okay if the demons can't be removed, if this move can make her irreversible, won't she be able to get rid of the disaster?"
Xi Bo's words were a little colder than the well water, he looked at Liu Xujiao, trying to read something from his eyes, but the black and white eyes on the other side were simply like a child, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see why.
Just when the two looked at each other, there was a gentle knock on the hidden door, and then, a strange dark face appeared in the crack of the door, and that face smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, "Old man, it's getting late, can you allow me to spend the night here?"
” Xi Bo got up and stepped forward, opened the door, and saw that the person who came was a young man in his twenties, he was dressed in white, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a long sword on his back, looking chic and uninhibited, like a wandering swordsman.
"This son, when did you come to the village, why didn't anyone see you during the day?"
Xi Bo looked at him in surprise, in fact, he complained in his heart, this one at home has not been sent away, why did another one come, but it still appeared at this time, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
The young man had already walked in without being invited, his eyes looked around in the courtyard, "My boat capsized, the boatman doesn't know where it went, so I swam here alone, uncle, can you give me a bowl of water and a piece of dry food first, I have been tossing for so long, and my stomach is very hungry and thirsty." ” Xi Bo decided that it was difficult to refuse, so he promised to walk towards the house, leaving Liu Xujiao alone to look up and down at the visitor.
"Childe is not from this village, is he?"
The man was the first to speak.
Liu Xujiao smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, Childe looks extraordinary, he must not be a thing in the pool, is he just like me, a hurried passerby?"
"I wanted to be a passer-by, but now I'm shackled by a difficult thing, and I'm afraid it's hard to get out for a while."
The man raised his eyebrows, "Is there something inexplicable going on in this village?"
” Liu Xujiao just wanted to answer, but Uncle Xi had already walked out of the house with a plate, "This son, the food is here, you can fill your stomach for the time being, tomorrow morning, I will prepare some dry food for you, hire a boat in the village, and send you on the road, this village has not been peaceful recently, I have been staying for a long time, I am afraid it will affect you, it is better to leave earlier," he paused, and his eyes looked at Liu Xujiao again, "Liu Gongzi, otherwise, you will also go with this son?"
A few days ago, I heard you say that you have something important to do, so don't delay us because we are getting down to business. ” Liu Xuzhu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to give an expulsion order to himself, he was thin-skinned, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say why.
Fortunately, the man helped him relieve his sleepiness, he put down the dry food in his hand, took the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and then looked at Uncle Xi and asked: "Just now I felt that something was wrong in this village, full of resentment, blood rushed to the sky, did something ominous happen?"
” Seeing that his words seemed to be quite familiar with the way of ghosts and gods, Uncle Xi couldn't help but think, "Don't hide it from Gongzi, now the lives of the whole village are in danger, all because of a female ghost who is unwilling to escape into reincarnation, and wants to use the lives of our whole village to bury her." ” The man put the gourd on the table, wiped his bearded lips with the back of his hand, and showed an interested expression, "How can a mere female ghost be so powerful, I have wandered all over the world, and I have caught a lot of demons, and I have never seen such a person with such a strong anger." ” Hearing what he said so arrogantly, Xi Bo's eyes lit up, as if he finally saw a light in the darkness, he stood up from the stool, and knelt in front of the man with a "plop", "Childe, I know at a glance that you are a capable person, if you can suppress that evil thing and save the lives of my whole village, we will repay Childe as cattle and horses." ” The man named Kong Zhou laughed, "I walked the rivers and lakes, alone, what do I want cattle and horses to do, but listen to what you say, that female ghost does a lot of evil, I want to meet her for a while, see what she is capable of, and ask the whole village to accompany her to bury." ” Xi Bo burst into tears with excitement, and said yes repeatedly, he hurriedly went to clean up the guest room, boiled a pot of hot water, and prepared for Kong Zhou to freshen up.
"This brother, do you want to drink with me?"
Kong Zhou put the wine gourd in front of Liu Xuzhu and asked him with a smile.
Liu Xujiao thanked him, and drank a few sips of the gourd that he didn't mind, and then handed it to Kong Zhou, "It's really good wine, the entrance is smooth, fragrant but not turbid." ” Kong Zhou also took a sip, and looked at Liu Xuzhu again, "Childe seems to have something on his mind?"
” Liu Xuzhu lowered his head and fingered the edge of the stone table in front of him, "Brother Kong is really going to catch ghosts tomorrow?"
” Kong Zhou asked with a smile: "If you don't arrest her, will you let her cut down the whole village and eradicate the roots?"
He handed the wine gourd to Liu Xujiao again, "Listening to the tone of the son, he seems to have pity for the female ghost, and he is reluctant for me to kill her." ” Liu Xujiao sighed, "I just think that things in the world must have cause and effect, if you blindly kill them, the future troubles will be eliminated, but the people who do evil will not be punished." ” "Who is the one who does evil?"
Liu Xuzhu didn't speak, Kong Zhouwu smiled to himself, and he already knew in his heart, "What I want to catch is an evil ghost, but an evil ghost may be a ghost, or it may live in people's hearts." ”
