Sao Ke is a spectator

The teahouse closed before the lighting time, the sky was getting dark, and a full moon could not wait to hang under the curtain. There was not a single star in the night sky, and occasionally a few dark clouds drifted past, casting the moonlight into a ghastly scene.

Walking to the Luohe River, the riverside is becoming less and less crowded, only one or two noodle stall owners are still reluctantly picking up the coal fire in the stove, wearing a half-new sweat towel around their necks, yelling a few words from time to time , The loud voice floated to the surface of the river, and disappeared under the thin mist in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, I felt a strange shaking in the air. I looked up, and the dark clouds in the sky were rapidly gathering towards the moon. The night was getting deeper and deeper. Trends that come under cover.Suddenly, a red light and shadow swept across the river and flew towards an unknown direction.

The light and shadow flew extremely fast, and it was almost difficult for me to drive Yundou to follow behind him, but he seemed to have noticed me, and the speed became faster and faster, and I lost it after a short time after catching up.

While I was concentrating on finding his trace, I flew towards the direction where he disappeared. When I finally caught up, I saw him jumping into a yard. The candles in the room were instantly extinguished, and then there was a sound from inside The man's shrill scream broke the quiet night.

I yelled inwardly that I was not good, and then flew into the room, only to see that the light and shadow had transformed into a human shape, the long hair that dragged the ground covered half of his bluish face, and unstoppable greed was revealed from his eyes.

"Looking for death." I pulled out the sword at my waist and stabbed straight at him.

He moved away neatly, and let out a ferocious laugh, not knowing that his death was approaching.Suddenly, nails more than two inches long grew between his fingers, drawing streaks of red light in the darkness, and he said with a grinning grin: "Whoever you are, I'll see what you can do to me today."

The will-o'-the-wisp on my body gave a little light to the room, and through this faint light, I saw a huddled man in the corner of the wall. It seemed that he hadn't been captured. I was afraid that I might hurt him while fighting with this evil spirit. So he yelled at him: "Get out quickly."

He said tremblingly, "I... my legs are weak."

The evil ghost saw that I was distracted for a moment, and immediately attacked violently. I couldn't dodge in time, and the robe on my body was cut by his claws in several places, and the people under the corner exclaimed: "Be careful! "

If I fight alone with this evil spirit, I will not be defeated. It is only because I take care of the people in the house that there is room for my moves. This evil spirit may have seen my thoughts early in the morning, and will come to me as soon as I have time. If I want to go to him, if I relax for a moment, that person's life will be in danger for a moment.

"Ping'er, don't be afraid, sister is coming soon." Suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the house, mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Before I could make a sound to stop her, I ran in, holding a long stick in my hand, and glanced at me and the evil spirit. The stick in my hand wavered, pointing at me and at him, when the person in the corner made another sound He said, "Sister, hit that long-haired ghost, he almost tore out my heart just now, hurry... hit him quickly."

"Ping'er, you hide well, my sister will clean him up for you now." After speaking, he rushed in with a stick, the evil ghost laughed again, and with a wave of his hand, the red claws slashed at her.

She didn't realize the danger was approaching at all, and still rushed forward without hesitation. I dodged to block her behind, and the blade-like claws landed firmly on me.

I took a few steps back in pain, the blood on my body splashed out, I didn't want the evil spirit to become very excited when he saw the blood, each move was faster than the next, I struggled to parry and said to the people behind me: "If you want to If you survive, take your brother and leave quickly, you will only get in the way if you stay here."

Seeing her froze in place, I yelled again: "Hurry up and leave."

She turned around as if she was waking up from a dream, and then took advantage of the gap I created to dodge to the corner of the wall, and half-pulled the man out of the room. Seeing this, the evil ghost immediately waved two claws, straight at sister The younger brother left.

If it wasn't this yard that entered today, or if the two siblings were replaced by other people, then I would never risk my life to protect each other, because the moment she rushed in, I recognized her as Mu Ning.

This time the claw wind landed on my back, I took the opportunity to push the two of them, and closed the door.

I turned around and sneered at him, the cold sword in my hand shot out a green flame as high as a person, illuminating the whole room, until then there was a trace of consternation and fear on the face of the evil ghost .

Once Han Ming wakes up, even a thousand-year-old ghost can't escape death.

Even the Hades of the underworld would be in a state of embarrassment. After the evil ghost fell to the ground, I knelt down in relief and watched him gradually turn into ashes. I didn't let my eyes close until there was nothing left.

When I woke up again, it was broad daylight, and I looked around. Looking at the mess on the walls and roof, I realized that it was the room where I fought with the evil spirit yesterday.There were people talking in the yard, I recognized Mu Ning's voice, and the man curled up in the corner last night.

The clothes on my body were not mine, and the size was a little small. It was a half-new smoky blue gown. The wounds on the chest and back also showed signs of being treated. I struggled to get up, and leaned on the wall to get out room.

After leaving the house, the scene in the courtyard is ordinary and simple, the firewood in the stove is "crackling" and it is burning, and the pot is steaming, and there are bursts of fragrance.Mu Ning was standing in the middle of the yard, wearing a military uniform and combing her hair in a men's bun, holding an ax in her hand, splitting firewood neatly.

He stood aside and waited, sometimes bending over and sometimes getting up, his thin body couldn't support the baggy clothes, he carried bundles of split firewood into the pile of firewood and stacked them neatly, running back and forth happily.

And at this time I finally saw his face clearly, it was the one who told the story in the teahouse yesterday.

He was the one who discovered me first, threw the firewood in his hand and ran towards me, he held me up and said with a smile: "I saw you were so badly injured last night, I thought you couldn't survive, I didn't expect it to be so Wake up soon."

At this time, Mu Ning also turned her head, with a rather smug expression on her face: "Using the wound medicine inherited from our family, I can bring people back even before the gate of hell is closed." She pointed to the chair beside her and said to her brother: "Screen Son, don't let Engong stand still, help him to sit on a chair, and then pour him a glass of water, he must be very thirsty now after bleeding so much last night."

The name Ping'er understood immediately, helped me to the chair, and let me sit on it carefully, then hurried into the room again, presumably to pour tea.

She dropped the work she was doing, scooped water to wash her hands, and then walked up to me: "It was really thanks to my benefactor last night, otherwise my siblings would have become dead souls under the hands of evil spirits. If benefactor doesn't mind, please accept My sister and brother worship each other."

Ping'er also came out at this moment, and handed the tea bowl to me. Mu Ning pulled him to the side and made a posture of bowing down. It is also a matter of duty, and it is the same for others."

"How could it be so easy, you have been injured so badly." Ping'er said.

I shook my head: "If I say it's okay, I'll be fine. If you continue to do this, it will make me feel uncomfortable. If you really want to thank me, just tell me another story, and you will repay my life-saving grace."

Ping'er's eyes lit up: "If it's you, I'll just say I've seen you!"

Then he asked again: "What's your name? Where did you come from? Why have you never seen you before? Also, how fierce was that ghost last night, and I don't want to be your opponent. What are you doing?" Yes, how do you know that the evil spirit is in my house?"

"Ping'er, don't be unreasonable." Mu Ning shouted.

He stuck out his tongue towards me, with innocence and naughtiness on his dull face.

I said: "In Xiayangzhuo, my ancestors were Taoist priests who exorcised ghosts. Some time ago, I heard that there is an evil ghost in the city that specializes in hunting people's hearts, so I came here on purpose."

Mu Ning said: "If your benefactor doesn't dislike it, you can stay in the humble house. Ping'er is alone at home, and you can be with him as a company. How about making plans after you recover?"

That's when I found out that she had left the cabinet a few years ago and married a head of the city's bodyguard bureau. She usually lives in the city and occasionally comes back to visit her.Yesterday she and her husband had just finished betting the darts, and came to give him some money for living. They had dinner together in the house, and when the evil spirit entered the yard while washing the dishes, she heard noises in the house from the stove. The movement rushed in.

I nodded: "Alright."

Mu Ning packed the lunch and left, leaving me and Ping'er in the room.

At the dinner table, he told me about his life experience. It turned out that Mu Ning was not his own sister. Seven years ago, he was exiled in Luohe City. He was so hungry that he fainted in front of her house. Adopted as a adopted son, Mu Ning left the pavilion after his father died of illness a few years ago, and now he is the only one left to live in this yard.

In the past few years, he was often poorly clothed and hungry, so that now he is so weak that he can't do any heavy work. He usually only tells stories in teahouses in the city to earn some wine money. Burn half a month's firewood, and leave some money for him to live on.

He asked, "Yangzhuo, how long do you plan to stay in Luohe City?"

"It depends."

He said in a begging tone: "Don't leave for now, I finally found someone who can be my companion. If you leave, I will be left alone in this yard."

At this time the meal was finished, he tidied up the dishes neatly and was about to leave the house, I called him to stop: "Ping'er."

He turned his head to look at me with a puzzled look on his face, and I said, "I'll try...to stay for as long as possible."

Immediately, a contented smile appeared on his face, that smile seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

That night, I burned a piece of wild goose paper to report safety to the people in the underworld, and the date of return is uncertain.
