Jiang Zhixia was startled by him. She didn't recognize the man and asked him what he was doing.

The man said that his name was Ding Fu and that he was the housekeeper of Ding Wanwan's family, the richest man in town. Today he came specially to invite her to catch monsters at home.

He initially led people up the mountain to find Jiang Zhixia, but ended up getting sidetracked with her. Hearing from the village chief that she was going down the mountain and not knowing where she was going, he rushed down the mountain again hoping to intercept her.

Although Ding Fu has never met Jiang Zhixia, people around Dongyao Mountain know that Master Jiang is very easy to recognize. On the street, if you want to see someone wearing only a hairpin on their head and dressed as if they were in a dye vat, that person must be Jiang Zhixia.

After coming down from the mountain, Ding Fu looked around the town and noticed that she was dressed conspicuously. When he went up and asked, it turned out to be her.

"Don't worry, our master said that as long as you can help us catch the goblin, the benefits will be yours."

"Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money and caressing about a few pennies?" Jiang Zhixia said to him: "Lead the way."

"Hey! Okay! Get in the sedan."

"Let's go, I feel dizzy sitting on that thing." She winked at Lu Chennian and asked him to follow her, and she thought in a low voice: "Now we can save money on food and accommodation at night."

Turning around the street, Ding Fu led them to a secluded house. He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone quickly answered the door.

Ding Fu said to the servant inside: "Hurry up and inform the master that someone is here."

He let Jiang Zhixia in. Jiang Zhixia looked at the house and sighed in her heart: After all, he is the richest man and he lives really well. This place is much richer than the Lingqing sect. But how to take good care of the courtyard and hang quilts everywhere?

Jiang Zhixia was sitting in the hall. After a while, Ding Baiwan came out, cupped his hands and saluted, "Master Jiang, I have been looking up to you for a long time."

Ding Fu introduced her to him as their master.

Ding Wanwan was in his thirties, with an octagonal beard. He spoke with a smile, but there was a hint of fatigue in his brows. After being polite, he arranged for his servants to prepare dinner.

On the dinner table were black rice, black dates and black bean porridge, caramelized yam, pigeon soup, lamb chops, etc. There were mulberry fruits on the fruit plate next to it. She was stunned for a long time and asked Ding Wanwan: "Is everyone in your family so vain?"

These things are all kidney-tonifying.

She said why they were drying the quilt in the yard, and the whole family had to pee on the bed together, right?

Ding Baiwan put down his chopsticks and said, "Alas," "You don't know, I'm really helpless."

Ding Wanwan's family had always been peaceful until a while ago. When his youngest son, who was just over eight years old this year, got up one day, the maid at home discovered that his quilt was wet. Logically speaking, it is normal for a child to wet the bed, and the family members did not take it seriously.

But he wet the bed for seven days in a row from that day on, and he peed more than once, and the quilt and mattress were all soaked. A few times I woke up from the cold.

Ding Wanwan also asked the doctor to come and see it. The doctor prescribed a folk prescription for him to feed the child pig gizzards. He ordered people to do it that day, and then fed the child himself.

He didn't know if the child was of any use after eating it. Anyway, his quilt was wet the next day...

Immediately afterwards, his wife's quilt was also wet, and none of the eldest son, daughter, housekeeper, and servants could escape. Recently I spend a lot of money just buying quilts.

Later, Ding Fu reminded him that he should find a knowledgeable person to check it out. It didn't seem to be a physical cause. He had never heard of bedwetting being contagious, so he was afraid it was not caused by evil spirits.

Due to the fall of the fairy world, it has become common for people to have monsters in their homes. Ding Wanwan, who has been doing business all year round, believed this and immediately asked Ding Fu to invite someone to take a look.

A bunch of old monks came, drank the talisman water, and read the scriptures, asking whether the bed should be wet or not.

Ding Fu was walking on the street that day and was worried. Lao Zhang, a firewood seller, stopped him and asked him what was wrong. As soon as he told the story, Lao Zhang smiled and said he was confused.

"When have the goblins here approached the old monk? Don't they all go to the master on the mountain?"

After he reminded him, Ding Fu slapped his thigh and said that he was too busy and dizzy, how could he forget that person. Only then did he report to the master to take people to find Jiang Zhixia.

Ding Baiwan sat aside and poured wine for Jiang Zhixia, "Master Jiang, if you can save our family, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Jiang Zhixia took the wine glass without drinking it and asked him, "Do you know what the monster looks like?"

Ding Wanwan thought for a moment and said: "Some servants reported that they heard something moving in the backyard at night, but no one dared to look. The ground was wet every morning. I don't know if it was water or urine. Yesterday morning, the maid in my house was discovered. She fainted in the garden. After she regained consciousness, she didn't say anything when asked, she just sat on the bed in a daze. I don't know if it has anything to do with goblins."

"I wonder what the monster looks like?" Jiang Zhixia laughed in a low voice, picked up the bowl, drank the porridge in one gulp, wiped her mouth, "Let's go find her."

"Okay, Ding Fu, take the leader forward."

Lu Chennian also wanted to stand up, but Jiang Zhixia pushed him down on his seat.

"You sit here and continue eating. After you finish eating, go pick up a few baskets of sand."

Ding Wanwan quickly said: "You don't need to let your apprentice take action, I will let the servants go..." Before he could finish his words, he heard two people speak at the same time.

"I'm not her apprentice!"

"Just let him go!"

Jiang Zhixia got ahead of Lu Chennian and said, "Let him take care of it. It will save him the energy of the day and get up in the morning to practice swordsmanship."

After saying that, she asked Ding Fu to lead the way to the maid.

The maid's name is Xiaohong. She is fifteen or sixteen years old. She is sitting on the bed with dull eyes, and she keeps chanting: "She is back, she is back..."

"Who's back? Your relatives?" Jiang Zhixia sat on the edge of the bed, placing her fingers on Xiaohong's wrist.

Xiaohong didn't answer her and kept saying those four words.

"Master, this..." Ding Fu followed and asked.

"Oh, it's okay, she was scared. No evil spirits entered her body." Jiang Zhixia just felt her pulse. If evil spirits are present in the body, the pulse will be strong and weak. This girl is in great shape and has nothing wrong with her. I'm afraid she was frightened into this state because of something she saw in the back garden last night.

She has come back……

Does this maid know the evil spirit in the garden?

Before leaving, Xiaohong suddenly rolled off the bed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Zhixia, "Please help me, I have been tortured by her for long enough..."

She was so excited that she fainted after saying this. Several servants carried her to the bed to rest.

When I walked out of the maid's room, it was completely dark. The servants were in a hurry now, and they all wanted to finish their work early and go back to their rooms to hide, for fear of encountering something like Xiaohong.

Jiang Zhixia and Ding Wanwan said as they walked: "Master Ding, how many years has Xiaohong been a servant in your family?"

Ding Fu came up and answered: "I bought Xiaohong, and she has lived in my house for more than two years. This girl is clumsy, so she has never been allowed to serve others. She has always been a rough maid. I usually let her clean the attic. Go to the garden and weed something.”

"Have you never had any contact with others?"

"The servants don't know. Anyway, they haven't let her come into contact with the masters."

"Then I'd like to ask, have you ever done anything stupid in your house?"

"To tell you the truth, our master's mother passed away a few months ago. But the old lady was old, so it can be considered a happy death." Ding Fu said.

"How old is the old lady's life?"

"More than fifty."

Jiang Zhixia: What kind of funeral is this! ?

Ding Wanwan explained on the side: "You don't know, my mother was seriously ill and had been lying in bed for three or four years, and it was of no use to seek medical advice. It was hard for us as children to see her suffer. So this is not the case for her. It’s a relief.”

"Oh~" Jiang Zhixia nodded.

Several people returned to the hall. The servants had already carried the sand and soil as instructed. Under the command of Lu Chennian, they were preparing to carry the sand and soil to the master and the young master's bedroom.

"Master Jiang, what does this mean?" Ding Wanwan didn't understand.

"Do as he says." Jiang Zhixia said, "In addition to your bedrooms, the rooms where servants sleep must also be padded with sand."

"That'll be fine?"

"Okay. Go back to sleep, and don't come out if you hear any noise tonight."

"Yes, yes!" Ding Baiwan smiled happily. After all, he is professional, and he speaks and acts swiftly. He ordered his servants to take Jiang Zhixia and the others to rest.

Until late at night, just after the second watch. A dark wind blew into the courtyard, and the quilts hanging to dry were blown back and forth. Some servants who were not asleep listened to the howling wind outside and put their heads under the quilt and chanted Amitabha to strengthen their courage.

The gust of wind passed by the front yard and went straight to Ding Wanwan's bedroom. The window paper of the bedroom was instantly soaked, and then human footprints were printed on the sand.

The water stains on the sand are getting bigger and bigger. Across the bed curtain, Ding Wanwan could vaguely see a figure moving through the moonlight shining through the window. It takes a step and jumps, and the sand under its feet makes a "sand" and "sand" sound as it moves.

He closed his eyes tightly, pulled the quilt up to cover his face, and prayed that the ghost would not approach him.

"rustle"

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, but the movement is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, Ding Wanwan only heard a cold snort, and then there was no movement in the room.

When everyone woke up the next day, they first touched the quilt and found that it was not wet. Not to mention how happy they were, they sighed in their hearts that Jiang Zhixia was amazing. Look at the sand on the ground covered with water stains.

"Master Jiang, has this monster been caught?" Ding Wanwan sat aside and served Jiang Zhixia breakfast.

"No, but at least your quilt is not wet. Everyone is happy." Jiang Zhixia was peeling the eggs, but Ding Wanwan snatched them away and handed them to the maid behind him, asking her to help peel the eggs.

"Don't be ridiculous, it's useless if the quilt is not wet. I can't always spread sand from now on. What if it rains one day?"

"Then buy a quilt. You have money anyway. Don't worry, it won't be too resentful. It will at most make your quilt wet."

"Master Jiang, I kneel down for you. Please save our family, and I will give you half of our family property." As he was about to kneel down, Jiang Zhixia helped him up.

"Master Ding, do you really not know the identity of the monster?"

Hearing Jiang Zhixia ask this, Ding Wanwan was stunned. Seeing her confident look, Ding Wanwan knew he couldn't hide it from her. However, Jiang Zhixia was famous for not caring about ordinary people's household affairs, and would not tell anyone about this matter. He simply wouldn't hide it from her anymore.

"Master Jiang, I won't hide it from you now. I know that monster, he is my biological mother..."
