The sky and water

Cheng Shanshui nodded, squeezed his hand a little harder, and said, "Let's go. It'll be fine, I'll protect you."

Before Tian Cheng could speak, the big man panicked and said repeatedly: "No, you are really going! There are ghosts! Maybe this plague has something to do with ghosts!"

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Song Zhixian did not inform everyone that it was poisoned, but only said that the plague was prevalent, and the well water was the source of infection. Only the well in the fireworks building was not infected and could be drunk.The big man didn't know what to do, he just regarded it as a plague, and among the people, plague is often associated with ghosts and gods.

Cheng Shanshui waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "If it's related, I'll go even more! Don't talk about it, go home quickly! It will save a while for ghosts to come out and scare you."

Hearing what he said, the big man was terrified before he saw the ghost. When he thought of wandering around the house for so long, he felt uncomfortable, and he tried to persuade him, and then disappeared.

Cheng Shanshui looked at his back, smiled helplessly, then turned around, and looked at the mansion again.

The scale of this house is indeed very large. At that time, this family should also be the richest and most powerful in the local area. They were rich and their life should be considered stable, but this happened.Thinking of this, Cheng Shanshui sighed that life is impermanent, and no one can predict his own fate tomorrow.

He took Tian Cheng's hand and walked into the house step by step, speeding up his steps a little, keeping a pace half a step faster than Tian Cheng's, so as to keep him in front of him when danger strikes.

There were many houses in this courtyard, and they walked through them one by one. Some were obviously living rooms, tables and chairs missing a leg were still lying on the dusty ground, and some, it could be seen, were storage rooms. Room.In a room, there is also a stone mill, but for some reason, the stone mill is broken into three or four pieces from the middle strangely, it seems that someone with extremely strong inner strength slapped the stone mill, but Even if there is such an expert, what would you do if you have nothing to do with a stone mill?

Cheng Shanshui approached the millstone, carefully observed the cracks in the stone mill, and was at a loss.

When he was looking at the stone mill, he let go of Tian Cheng's hand, which he had been holding tightly all along. At this moment, he suddenly heard a soft noise, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Tian Cheng who involuntarily took a step back.

That face, which usually had few waves, now had a look of horror, the sun shone through the window and shone on his face, and he felt crystal clear, Tian Cheng, is he breaking out in a cold sweat?

Cheng Shanshui was in a hurry, so he quickly got up and went over, seeing no one around, he hugged him, and comforted him in his ear: "Tian Cheng, don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here."

Hearing his voice, Tian Cheng's frantic heartbeat calmed down slightly, although he didn't know what he was afraid of.This fear seems to be instinctive, it cannot be explained at all, it is just fear, terribly afraid.

Cheng Shanshui was also surprised, and whispered in his ear: "Tian Cheng, what are you afraid of?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Tian Cheng's voice trembled a little, and Cheng Shanshui couldn't help hugging him even tighter.

"Tian Cheng, don't think about it anymore, if you're afraid, let's go back!" Cheng Shanshui said, tightly grasping his wrist, and was about to walk back.

Tian Cheng shook his head and said, "No, if you want to watch, let's continue watching. I'm fine."

He was afraid that this would happen, how could Cheng Shanshui have the heart to let him continue to follow?He had some doubts in his heart, why would Tian Cheng be so afraid?Could it be that there is something here that scares him?In his memory, Tian Cheng had never been afraid of anything other than Heart Piercing Ghost Face and Qingjiao, besides, how could a martial arts practitioner be timid?He couldn't figure it out for a while, forget it, let's talk about it after coaxing Tian Cheng back.

"Let's go, I don't want to watch it either. Even if the magistrate can't find out, it's useless for us to walk a few more houses. Tian Cheng, I'm tired too, let's go back and rest." Cheng Shanshui comforted him, and walked out of the house slowly.

After leaving this room and standing in the yard, Tian Cheng's fear seemed to dissipate a little bit, but he was still afraid, so Cheng Shanshui pulled him, walked quickly across the large yard, and walked towards the gate.

Unexpectedly, before they left the gate, they saw a figure rushing over in a hurry. She was petite and seemed to be a woman. Judging by her posture, she was about to rush directly into the courtyard.

what happened?Didn't it mean that no one has entered here for a long time?

When the woman saw them, she also had a puzzled look on her face. Before entering the courtyard, she yelled in surprise, causing Cheng Shanshui to quickly signal her to keep quiet.

The woman understood Cheng Shanshui's gesture and stopped screaming, but the bag in her hand made a babbling sound.

At this moment, Cheng Shanshui and Tian Cheng realized clearly that what she was holding in her hands was a baby.

"Why are you in the yard? You don't know. Is this a haunted house?" The woman asked in a low voice while patting the baby gently.

You know it's a ghost house, but you, a woman, still rush into it?Cheng Shanshui complained in his heart, but he didn't say it. Instead, he gestured for the woman to come in and talk. While gesturing, he also looked at Tian Cheng and saw him nodding, indicating that he was fine, but Cheng Shanshui still didn't agree. Don't worry, grab his arm and walk into the yard again step by step.

The woman seemed to be very familiar with this place. After turning two corners, she led them to a house.The two of them hadn't turned around the room just now, and only now did they realize that the room was obviously for people to live in, and it was very clean, and there were still some baby's things scattered on the bed.

"You two are foreigners, right? I am a local. The child's father died early. I am alone and alone. The wind and sand blown down my hut a few days ago. I am homeless, and I can't bear to let this child sleep in the open. I thought of this place on the street. Although it is a ghost house, it can shelter from the wind and rain, and I have lived here for a long time, and nothing happened." The woman said, a flash of panic suddenly flashed in her expression, "Yes Now, don't tell me about the fact that I'm living here with my child, otherwise, I might be regarded as a ghost!"

The woman was dressed in rags, her skirt was full of patches, and the child was wrapped in tattered cloth. She had a sallow and thin face with a disheveled face. It seemed that she came here from a poor family who had no house to live in.According to her, there is really nothing unusual here.

"Please don't worry, sister-in-law. We won't talk about this matter, but the fire cannot be contained in paper. This matter will be known sooner or later." Cheng Shanshui said, a little disappointed. Didn't find anything, probably really nothing.

Before the woman could speak, the baby in her hand began to cry. The woman hurriedly patted the baby, but she couldn't stop the crying at all.The baby cried very weakly, obviously not in good health, and the crying sound was mixed with bursts of coughing.

Cheng Shanshui's heart moved, and he said, "Show me the child!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and instinctively hugged the child even tighter.

"Give it to me! I won't harm him, but he is sick, and if he is not treated, his life may be in danger!" Cheng Shanshui said seriously, with a firm tone that could not be refuted.

The woman hesitated for a while, only to hear that the child's cries became more miserable, and Cheng Shanshui looked harmless to humans and animals, so she hesitated and handed the child to Cheng Shanshui.

That little baby, only five or six months old, was tightly wrapped, with a small face, small facial features, very cute, and it couldn't stop crying at the moment, and the faint cry was almost crying. In people's hearts, people can't help but want to protect him.

When he saw the child's face clearly, Cheng Shanshui was surprised for a moment, because the child's eyes were the same dark green as Tian Cheng's.

"His father is from Shaliang?" Cheng Shanshui asked.

The woman was startled, looked into Tian Cheng's eyes again, and nodded thoughtfully.

Tian Cheng was also a little surprised. The fear in his heart faded a lot due to the shift of his attention. When he saw this child, he also thought it was very cute, so he took a closer look. The same color in his eyes made him feel in his heart. Once warm, he stretched out his hand and caressed the baby's cheek.

Cheng Shanshui didn't ask any more questions, but stretched out his hand to catch the small pulse.

As expected, the child was also poisoned, and also malnourished and weak.Little children have no resistance, and if they don't detoxify, they won't be able to survive for a few days.He felt the woman's pulse again, she was also poisoned and malnourished, but fortunately she didn't feel the cold and could hold on for a while.It seems that the mother and son usually live very badly.

"The child has been sick for a long time? Why don't you go to see it?" Cheng Shanshui frowned and asked, returning the child to his mother.

The woman took the child carefully, and kissed the tip of the small nose. Her movements were extremely gentle, full of indescribable love and affection. She looked down at the little face, and when she looked up again, her eyes were covered with tears. , slowly said: "I wanted to see it a long time ago, but firstly, we have no money at all, and secondly, there are so many people in the medical center that we can't even line up. Now, even the medicine is gone, and the medical center is closed. This child ,Would not it be……"

As she spoke, she shed tears, and the tears hit the child's little face.

Cheng Shanshui couldn't bear to see this kind of situation, and felt hot for a while, and said, "It's okay, I'll save him, just for the sake of his eyes, I'll save him too! At worst, we'll take him to a nearby county town!"

The woman was startled, threw herself on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly. Cheng Shanshui didn't like the feeling of being treated as a Bodhisattva, so he quickly stopped her. When the woman got up, she threw herself down in front of the bed, lifted the sheets and quilts, and took them from the bed. He took out a cloth bag and opened it, and there were five copper plates in it.

This is her only property.

"My lord, the little girl only has this little wealth, please accept it, and I will treat it like a cow or a horse in the future to repay your kindness." The woman cried again, causing Cheng Shanshui to frown again and again.He, Master Cheng, has plenty of money, so he doesn't even want to let go of five copper coins. Although this kindness is commendable, to be honest, it is better not to give five copper coins.

"Okay, okay, I don't want your money! It's not too late, let's go with the baby! By the way, go back to the medical center and talk to Lu Sheng first." He said, and was about to stand up and leave, but he glanced casually With a glance at the mat that was pulled away by the woman, it suddenly seemed to be nailed, and it was difficult to move away.

He rushed over, uncovered the quilt, and found that there were two words written on the bed board.

Those two characters were engraved on the stone slab with a sharp instrument. It seems that they are mostly swords. The characters are well written, upright and powerful. When I write, I am full of indignation.

However, these were not the reasons why Cheng Shanshui couldn't take his eyes off. What he noticed was the content of the words.

These two words are: Qinglan.

Blue!

Impossible, isn't he already dead?Even if he didn't die, why did he appear here and kill so many people?Moreover, according to Chi Yuan, Qinglan is weak and sick, her martial arts is not good, and her age is not right. Ten years ago, Qinglan should not have been ten years old, she should not be a child of twelve or thirteen years old.What exactly is going on?

Are there really ghosts in the world?

As soon as this idea appeared, he was immediately denied by himself.

There are only people in the world, everything must be done by people!

If a person can have a soul after death, why didn't his parents come to him once?He often thinks so.

Tian Cheng also saw these two words, Cheng Shanshui could tell that the shock on his face was no less than his.It seems that Tian Cheng is not aware of it, but Cheng Shanshui has a faint feeling that this matter has something to do with Tian Cheng.

"Qinglan, he..." Tian Cheng's voice trembled a little, not just fear and surprise, but also a little expectation.

Cheng Shanshui quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Tian Cheng, don't think too much, I believe that this matter will come to light soon."

If Qinglan is alive, it doesn't matter if he treats Tian Cheng well, if he dares to hurt Tian Cheng, I will fight him to the death!

Cheng Shanshui thought to himself and clenched his fists.
