Hundred Ghosts

"But with my appearance...how can I meet Miss Qian?" He wiped his face again, "I've washed my face several times, but the ashes still haven't come off!"

"Hey, it's a ghost. It must be something unusual. You can try washing it with mugwort leaves." Lin Zi suggested.

"Then I'll go back and try." He took out a cloak from the package he brought and put it on, brushed the black gauze over his face, and walked angrily from the main entrance.

"He's going back?" He Huai was dumbfounded, this man is too courageous, if ordinary people would have run away in fright!

"He's not a good person, so let him go." Lin Zi waved his hands with a sneer.

Now that I got up, I went to eat. The food in He Huai's mansion was good. Lin Zi ate two steamed buns and wanted to drink another bowl of tofu curd. At this time, the servant who woke them up rushed over again, "General! Hurry up!" Already!"

"Ok?"

"Say there are thieves in our house!"

He Huai laughed dryly, "Impossible?"

Then the three policemen pressed Zhang Ji, who was struggling constantly, in front of them, "General! Brother Xiaguan saw this bald donkey thief sneaking out of the general's mansion when he was on patrol! Please also ask the general to count his belongings and see What's missing."

He Huai: "..."

In fact, Zhang Ji really looks like a thief, with a black cloak and black mask, the standard equipment of a gangster.

And it is particularly eye-catching on the street.

Zhang Ji's eye sockets were all blue, but when he heard the arrester call General He Huai, he froze for a moment, and then his eyes lit up immediately, "General? Are you a general? Oh, I thought... well, look at my eyesight... "

He had met He Huai when he invited Lin Zi down the mountain in the Taoist temple, and thought he was Lin Zi's apprentice!Early this morning, he was planning to go to the Taoist temple to look for Lin Zi, but on the way, he met his senior brothers. They said that Lin Zi was now in the general's mansion. When they saw He Huai, they still thought that Lin Zi was sincere to his apprentice OK, where to take...

Really unexpected!

He Huai has goosebumps all over his body. Didn't he talk to each other before?It changed so quickly.

"Let him go, he's not a thief, he came here specially to find Daochang Lin."

Lin Zi smiled awkwardly behind him.

The two detectives touched their noses, apologized and left, Zhang Ji immediately got up and went to He Huai's side, but He Huai reacted quickly and kept away from him calmly.

"Oh, so I know the general...they really don't look at each other, don't they?"

"I'm not familiar with you."

"It's fine if I know the general well! Otherwise, I'll be the host and invite the general to dinner! Why? After dinner, the general and I will be friends!"

Lin Zi wondered where did you have such a big face...

Walking between the two of them, he said, "You'd better go back, I'll take a look there tomorrow, you can't really let the Painted Skin Ghost hurt people, but you'd better move out of the Qian Mansion."

"Then can I live here?"

"No, you can live wherever you like. Let me be honest. Do you know why there is a house ghost in your room?"

"I don't know."

"Because someone died in your room, and the other person's bones were either hidden at home or buried underground in your room. To put it simply, the room you live in is equivalent to the coffin of a house ghost. You slept in someone else's coffin. Can I drive you away?"

"But……"

"I said earlier that you were joking with your life, but since you insist on going your own way, I can't help it."

"...but you and the general won't take me in." He looked at Lin Zi innocently.

Lin Zi endured his impatience, and said to the point, "Really, Mr. Zhang, don't get close to me. I've heard about your character. It's really bad. I don't have a good impression of you at all. I promise you to get rid of it." Painted Skin Ghost is only under the obligation of a Taoist priest, and I will do it if you don’t tell me. I have already explained the matter of Painted Skin Ghost and House Ghost very clearly. I remind you, I am not your wife, so there is no need to try hard to persuade you. Not to mention taking you in to eat with you and hang out with you, if you are skinned by a painted skin ghost or killed by a house ghost, it's none of my business."

His face turned blue and then pale, and he choked out a sentence, "Don't we know each other well?"

"It's just a few acquaintances. If you hadn't heard about the identity of General He today, you would have left already?"

"I'm not that kind of person."

He Huai spoke for Lin Zi, "Since there is nothing wrong, you should leave quickly, the General's Mansion does not keep any strangers."

"Yes... yes!" He hurried away with his cloak and veil in his arms, and was knocked by the threshold, looking very pitiful.

Seeing him, Lin Zi thought of Miss Hu's heart-piercing pain in the delivery room, and felt nauseated.

He can watch his first wife die in pain with his unborn child without any guilt. After death, he is reluctant to buy her a thin coffin. This is true for his wife, and he dare not think about it for others. He dare not make friends with such a person.

"General, what date is it today?"

He Huai looked at the calendar, "Seventeen, we just ate glutinous rice balls the day before yesterday!"

Lin Zi breathed out, "It's February [-]th. That guy has already moved into Qian's house. His family is definitely not popular. Miss Hu will come back tonight, and she will be so sad to see the house is empty."

"Then I'll go with you to see her?" He Huai asked him.

"Thank you, General."

"Hey, why are you being polite to me?" He Huai thought for a while and then said, "Let the cook prepare more dishes at noon, and we will put them in food boxes and take them with us, and then we will go buy paper money for incense sticks..."

When I came to his house after preparing everything, I found that his house had been evacuated, the front door was locked, and the yard was full of firewood, which looked extremely dilapidated.

The little girl from the neighbor's house saw Lin Zi and hurried over and said, "Daoist, are you here again?"

"I'm here to pay homage to Miss Hu, what's wrong with his house?"

A few days after Miss Hu was buried, Zhang Ji became Master Qian’s son-in-law. He moved out immediately and sold the house the next day. "After guarding, if his wife comes back to see him, she won't even be able to enter the house, which is really a crime.

He refused to listen, and sold it to a nearby medicinal material dealer at a price of 20 taels of silver. He also blamed Miss Hu for dying in this house, otherwise he would have sold it for at least a few hundred taels...

Although the family had just died, the price was really cheap. After buying it, the drug dealer piled up some medicinal materials in the back room, and piled firewood outside.

Now it's over, there is no place to worship her.

"I can only go to her grave to pay homage, and tell her that I have brought everything, and tell her not to go back. The house belongs to her, so she can't get in." Lin Zi sighed.

The little girl said, "Thank you, Taoist priest, Sister Hu's tomb is quite far from here. I will go with my mother-in-law, so I won't bother Taoist priest."

He Huai said, "Your mother-in-law is old, and it's still so cold outside, how can she go far away, you should take us there."

The little girl thought for a while, then nodded, "OK."

Her mother-in-law was 1 reassuring towards Lin Zi, so she asked them to wear more clothes, so as not to catch a cold.

Miss Hu's tomb is outside the city. They came here at noon, and they didn't arrive until the afternoon when the sky was dark. They paid homage to Miss Hu, and the sky was already completely dark, but fortunately, the weather was good, and the crescent moon and some stars were hanging in the sky. , You can easily see the road by the moonlight.

The little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and a little older than Xiaocai. She had cried for Miss Hu, and she could still hear her sobbing on the way back.

If my junior brother was crying like this by my side, I would have used spells to force him to shut up, but such a delicate and weak girl, as if it was wrong to speak harshly, so I had to hand over a handkerchief, "Don't cry, you fool!" Elder sister must feel uncomfortable hearing you cry all the way, wipe your tears, your mother-in-law is still waiting for you at home... oh..."

He Huai suddenly pinched his waist.

"What's wrong with you, Daoist?" The little girl turned to look at Lin Zi.

"It's nothing, I sprained my toe." Lin Zi glared at He Huai, but saw that his eyes were fixed on the open space in front of the little girl.

Lin Zi looked over, and there were actually two shadows in front of the little girl!

It's a shadow ghost.

This kind of ghost will appear at night and follow people behind. Usually, two shadows will appear on the person, and one of the longer shadows is the shadow ghost.

Lin Zi exhaled slowly, and asked the little girl softly, "Xiao Hua, can you hop on one foot?"

"Yes! My balance ability is very good."

"I don't believe it, then you take off a shoe for me, and show me a hop on one foot - the left foot is more difficult, how about you take off the shoe on your right foot and hop with your left foot?"

"I can jump even with my left foot!"

Xiao Hua took off her right shoe to Lin Zi, and jumped forward with her left foot.

Lin Zi threw the shoe into the sky, then caught it firmly, and caught up with Xiao Hua.

He Huai counted beside Xiaohua, "...six, seven, eight... Xiaohua is so good, she jumped eight steps!"

Lin Zi continued to count, "Nine, ten... Xiaohua can help me if she can't stand... Thirteen, fourteen..."

"No way, Xiao Hua's balance ability is great, look! Twenty!" He Huai said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm amazing!"

"...48, 49... Hey, Daoist!"

Xiaohua was pulled by Lin Zi suddenly, and her right foot accidentally touched the ground. Just as she was about to complain, He Huai suddenly turned her head and shouted, "Get out!"

"Eh?"

"It's okay, there was a wild dog following behind, and He Huai yelled at him away." Lin Zi handed her the shoes, "It's so cold, Xiaohua should put on the shoes, Xiaohua is really good, I'll dance three times." One will touch the ground!"

"Hey..." Xiaohua smiled embarrassedly, squatted down and put on her shoes.

Looking at the shadow again, there is already one line.

After sending Xiao Hua home, the two of them also went back to the General's Mansion. They didn't expect it to be so late, and they could hear the sound of the watch from afar.

"I hope there will be no more arguing tomorrow." Lin Zi breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands, "I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep until tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, okay, I'll go out and watch tomorrow if I have something to do, so I won't disturb your sleep...you're lazy!"

The sound of the watch stopped suddenly, and the watchman screamed hysterically.

Lin Zi paused, and ran towards the watchman's voice.
