You are a demon

Wulian is a remote town facing mountains on three sides and water on the other side. The half-crescent peaks are surrounded by dots of white walls and blue tiles, just like a dream.

The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming like beauties, the red fish are playing and shuttling in the water, and two seven or eight-year-old children are chasing and running happily on the bank.

"Ah, big brother, I'm sorry."

Xie Ziju looked at this little girl with double buns, his tired eyes showed long-lost warmth, and he smiled slightly: "Be careful, don't bump into others again."

The child stuck out his tongue, scratched his head, and nodded embarrassedly.

Xie Ziju was in a daze for a moment, as if he remembered something, then he fixed his eyes on the person in front of him and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let's go play."

The little girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the little friends around her seemed unable to wait, and pushed her to leave quickly. The girl didn't say anything, turned around and smiled at Xie Ziju, and ran happily into the room again. I walked into the alley and disappeared.

It has been a few days since Xie Ziju came to Wulian, and he searched the town back and forth several times, but he couldn't find Gu Sheng.

Lift your feet and walk into an inn near the water.

"Guest officer, please come inside, the wing room is ready."

Xie Ziju looked at Xiaoer with some surprise: "Pindao has not decided on a wing room."

Xiaoer smiled innocently: "It was reserved by another young master. In the future, as long as the Taoist priest comes over, that guest room will be vacated for the Taoist priest."

"Dare to ask..."

Before Xie Ziju finished speaking, he was interrupted: "The Taoist priest came earlier today."

Seeing the visitor, Xie Ziju also understood in his heart: "Brother Zhao, the poor Taoist said earlier that he would not stay here for a long time, why should Brother Zhao spend money?"

"You and I hit it off right away. Although we met by chance, we should have a bit of sincerity. I hope the Taoist priest will not refuse." Zhao Mu put away his hostility, and he really had the air of a handsome young man in his gestures.

Xie Ziju moved his mouth, but didn't say anything, and followed him into the wing.

Zhao Mu first poured a cup of tea for Xie Ziju, and a fresh and elegant smell immediately permeated the room, which was refreshing and slightly relieved Xie Ziju's restlessness.

"I don't know if Chang can find anything today?"

Xie Ziju looked at the rolling mountain peaks outside the window and shook his head: "I have searched back and forth in the town several times, but I still found nothing."

Zhao Mu frowned upon hearing this: "Is the Taoist priest sure that the person he is looking for is in Wulian?"

Xie Ziju didn't speak, he didn't know, and he wasn't sure if what Lou Junqing said was true, if there was no news about Gu Sheng, then he would return to Xuanjing soon, the tunnel in the palace would definitely There is a problem, I don't know if the brother has found out anything.

"If it's useful to the next place, the Taoist priest can open his mouth. Although I, Zhao Mu, have no power or power, I still have subordinates, and it doesn't take much to find someone."

Xie Ziju shook his head. Although Zhao Mu is warm and generous, he is also very polite to others, and he is one of the few people who can get along with him. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have so many suspicions, but when facing him, his heart always It's a little uneasy, especially when it comes to facing Gu Sheng, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Zhao Mu took a sip of tea, and hid the flash of hostility under his brows. This stinky Taoist priest was too wary, and he couldn't tell the truth even after spending a few days with him, but he was not in a hurry, after all The good show is yet to come.

He then smiled and said slowly, "Don't misunderstand, the Taoist priest. I'm just worried about the safety of the Taoist priest's friend. After all, there is a ghost mountain that eats people across from this water town."

Xie Ziju paused the hand holding the cup: "You mean Ghost Mountain?"

Looking at the opposite mountain, Zhao Mu was fascinated. He paused for a moment before tilting his head again: "It's just some folklore, and it can't be taken as true. The Taoist priest still doesn't need to pay too much attention to it."

"Brother Zhao, please explain in detail."

Zhao Mu's face changed: "Does the Taoist really want to hear it? It's just some folklore, and no one has verified how much of it is true or not..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Mu couldn't answer the next sentence suddenly. Just as he spoke, there was a sudden commotion outside the window.

At this time, Xiaoer just came up to refill tea, Zhao Mu asked, "Who is making noise outside?"

Xiaoer cautiously looked around, and said quietly: "It's Aunt Wei, his son went to the mountains to collect medicine a while ago, and he didn't come home for a few days, but he came back today with a bit of nonsense, he was dumbfounded and didn't know anyone. , I'm afraid I'm crazy."

"You mean Wei Xiaolang?"

Xiao Er nodded.

"Didn't go home for a few days and no one went up the mountain to look for it?"

This question was asked by Xie Ziju.

"Wei Xiaolang is a well-known little genius doctor in Wulian. He often goes to the mountains to collect herbs. The situation in the mountains is complicated. He built a temporary hut in the mountains for unexpected needs. In case of rainy weather, it is normal not to go home for a few days." .

"Then why is Aunt Wei so noisy?"

When normal women encounter this kind of thing, don't they always find a doctor for treatment? Why would they cry on the street?

Xiaoer said hesitantly: "I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I heard that Aunt Wei found some blood book on the little genius doctor, which clearly stated that the little genius doctor was murdered. Uncle Wei died early. Only they are old and young, they will inevitably be afraid when encountering such a thing, I think it should be..."

"Think about it! I think you are lazy again. There are so many guests outside who don't know how to say hello. They are waiting to pack their bags, right?"

Before Xiao Er finished speaking, a woman with her hips akimbo came over, holding his ears and going out.

"The lady boss is very angry today~"

Zhao Mu laughed helplessly.

"I'm busy today. Mr. Zhao should eat and drink. I'll take this ignorant kid out first. I'm sorry to disturb the master's interest. Today's table of wine is paid for by me."

Before the words were finished, the proprietress walked out with Xiaoer in her arms, leaving Xiaoer's wailing voice floating into the wing room. It can be seen that the proprietress's fiery and bold temperament really makes people... speechless.

"What do you think, Daoist?"

Zhao Mu turned around and saw that Xie Ziju had been staring at the small street outside the window thoughtfully, and asked accordingly.

There was something odd about this, but he couldn't tell why.

"Pindao wants to see that little doctor and... that mountain."

The street has returned to its original tranquility, and there are no more sudden noises. It seems that people from the yamen have already come.

The clinic of the little genius doctor was closed, and there was no one there. They inquired for a long time before they found out the hometown of Aunt Wei and the little genius doctor.

Aunt Wei's home was a little far away from the market, and the two of them searched for it for a long time. The houses on both sides of the path were a bit old, with moss growing on the walls, and even a small elegant flower bloomed on the dilapidated window.

'Boom dong dong'

"Excuse me, is this Aunt Wei's house?"

Zhao Mu was stingy, and no one responded for a long time.

'Boom dong dong'

"Who are you looking for?"

There was no one in Aunt Wei's house, but an old man next door came out to agree, but his face was not very good, presumably they were too loud and disturbed the old man's rest.

Zhao Mu leaned away, and cupped his hands respectfully: "If you want to disturb me, please don't blame me. We just wanted to find Aunt Wei. Do you know that she is at home now?"

The old man waved his hand with a somewhat impatient expression: "I don't know."

Zhao Mu and Xie Ziju looked at each other.

Zhao Mu didn't change his face, and asked again, "We have something very important to find Aunt Wei, do you know where she is?"

Xie Ziju thought he wanted to stop Zhao Mu, he didn't have to do it for himself, if Aunt Wei wasn't there, they would just look elsewhere.

Maybe it was Zhao Mu's humble attitude or maybe it was the old man showing mercy.

"They have moved to the town for a long time, and I don't know where they are now."

"Thank you".

The old man leaned on a cane, so it was not easy to move around, and there was no one to serve him, but his body seemed to be extremely strong.

Saying goodbye to the old man, the two of them wanted to go to the mountains not far away to have a look, but it was getting late, so they had no choice but to give up.
