Copper Coins

Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen who entered the room with a tea tray were startled, the tea tray in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the porcelain splashed, hitting Shitou Zhang and Xuan Min's legs, but they forgot to even apologize.

"What happened?!" Four voices rang out in unison - Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, Xingzi...Jiang Shining was also sandwiched between them.

It was just an emergency, and no one noticed his voice.

"What's the matter?!" Mrs. Chen grabbed the person who came back to report, "You are talking, kid! Why did you come back alone?"

"Young Master..." The young man ran all the way back, he was out of breath, and he spoke intermittently, he gasped twice and said, "When we turned around and walked to the corner of Jiqing Street, suddenly in that dead-end alley Seven or eight beggars jumped out, and the young master and young wife were taken away by them. They were so fast, it seemed that they were waiting there specially!"

"What?!" Everyone said in amazement, "Abducted?! Where did they go?"

"I, I don't know—" the young man was about to cry, and he blamed himself: "I was pushed aside by the young master and the young lady, rolled on the ground, and when I got up again, they disappeared. I I can't catch up, I can't find it, I'm useless..."

He whimpered and explained.

"Have you seen clearly which direction they are going?" Xuan Min asked suddenly.

The young man seemed to have noticed that there was a stranger in the room at this time. He was taken aback by the question, and said with a sob, "The south side, but there are too many streets and alleys there, and you will lose it after a few hops."

"Find something that your young master and young lady just touched." Xuan Min spoke again, and his eyes fell on Lu Nianqi.

"By the way, we have a human-shaped compass." Xue Xian stroked Lu Nianqi's head kindly, and was pushed down by Nianqi expressionlessly.

"Something you just touched?" Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen didn't react for a while.

Xingzi was quite clever, and slapped her hands together, "Paper! Is the veil okay?"

"Okay." Xue Xian said, "Excuse me, get that handkerchief."

Xingzi entered the room with a flushed face, and hurried out after a while, "Here——pamper, but what's the use of it?"

"Where is your young master and young lady?"

Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen didn't understand what they were doing at all, and wandered around the room like ants on a hot pot.

Lu Nianqi took out his wooden branch, stroked the embroidered handkerchief, and silently drew on the ground.

He really looked like a great dancer. Uncle Chen and Sister-in-Law including Xingzi were stunned when they saw this: "This is..."

Lu Nianqi put away the wooden branches pretending to be dignified, touched the imprints on the ground, and said with the appearance of a group of experts: "There is such a mountain road nearby, with gravel on both sides. Slope, there is wild forest on the slope, and among the forests..."

He touched the marks, and added: "There is a tomb in the forest, there is a small pond beside the tomb, and there is a black stone beside the pond, which looks like a crouching tortoise..."

When he described before, Uncle Chen and Sister-in-Law Chen and the others were still confused, but when they heard the black stone that looked like a turtle, their expressions immediately changed: "There really is!"

"Where?"

"Xiao Nanshan!"

After about half a cup of tea, a carriage suddenly appeared on the stone road at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain in Qingping County.It was Xue Xian and his group sitting in the carriage, and the driver was Lao Chen.

Xue Xian and the others originally thought that they would just trick an ordinary person into the car, which was convenient and cost-effective because he could drive horses and know the way. Old Chen was also calm-tempered, so even if he saw some unusual things, he must be able to bear it.

however……

Everyone silently looked at Xingzi and Mrs. Chen who got into the car.

"So why did you two follow up..." Xue Xian couldn't help asking after a moment of silence.

After all, even Shitou Zhang was left in Fang's house.

Mrs. Chen is an excitable person. When she heard this, she patted her thigh and almost burst into tears: "Before the old lady passed away, she entrusted the young master and the young lady to me and Lao Chen. I lost it, how could I have the face to meet them—old lady—”

Seeing that she was about to howl, Xue Xian stretched out a finger and shook it: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, I understand."

Mrs. Chen stared, and suddenly felt that her mouth was sealed, and she couldn't make a sound.

"What about you, girl—" There were no armchairs in the carriage, so the old man Xue Xian leaned back against the wall of the carriage, with nowhere to rest his elbows, so he simply used Xuan Min's legs beside him as armrests, which was logical and natural.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xuan Min glanced at his elbow, and raised his hand, as if he wanted to bring his domineering claws down to his knees.

He turned his head and was about to play a rogue with this bald donkey, but he saw Xuan Min's calm gaze swept past him, he didn't know what he saw or remembered, and he retracted his raised hand again, Toss with Xue Xian.

Ok?

Xue Xian was wondering, so he heard Xingzi crying and saying: "I have been with the young lady for more than five years, if something happens to her, how will I live - even if I am anxious, I can't sit still at home, don't Get me out of the car, and I promise not to cause trouble."

"It's not enough to add chaos. I don't care if there are more people, but..." Xue Xian dragged on, and said casually, "You have to be prepared."

Aunt Chen and Xingzi were both taken aback, not understanding what he meant for a while.

However, before they could react, Lu Nianqi said again: "Okay, it's almost settled. They stopped walking and stopped at a place. That's...a deserted village? Why are the houses all crooked?"

"A deserted village?! Do you mean Wencun? Oh my god—why did you go there? There are no people left there! Not only are there no people left, but they are also haunted! There is no life left!"

"Ghost village?"

"Old Chen!! Old Chen!! Human life is at stake! Run faster—" Mrs. Chen slapped the wall of the carriage.

The reason why Xue Xian and the others are still walking on the road of Nanshan is precisely because Lu Nianqi's half-handed magic stick is sometimes ineffective, and the other party is always on the way.If they want to finally determine each other's position, they have to get as close as possible.

Now that the opponent has finally settled down, Xue Xian and the others naturally have no patience to go on chasing him in an ordinary way.

"Sit still." Xue Xian turned his head and said meaningfully to Mrs. Chen and Xingzi who were opposite.

Mrs. Chen, who was patting the wall of the carriage, turned her head when the carriage suddenly swayed.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Chen jumped, thinking that the carriage had hit some rough road, she quickly reached out and grabbed the wooden bars on the wall of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the strong wind howled without warning, and the entire carriage suddenly tilted for some reason.

The horses pulling the cart neighed wildly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, this is—" Mrs. Chen almost missed the wooden stick, and was so frightened that she almost cried.Kyoko grabbed her arm tightly and screamed.

"Girl, please be quiet." Xue Xian raised his hand, and the carriage door slammed, and it was so tightly closed that he couldn't even pull it open. "The door is closed tightly, and I can't fall out."

Mrs. Chen and Xingzi stared at him with round eyes, as if they had seen a ghost——

"Did you touch the door just now..." Xingzi said blankly, "Why is this door—"

Before she recovered her sanity from the fright, she felt the tilting carriage lighten suddenly, and her heart skipped a beat.

This sudden light feeling was as if the entire carriage had been lifted up into the air by something.

The old and the young raised the curtain of the car with trembling hands...

"Ahhhh—" the two screamed at the same time.

"Feifei is flying!!"

Xue Xian picked his ears, and suddenly regretted: "..."

He poked Xuan Min's waist eye: "Bald donkey, take the one in front of the car into it too—"

"Ahhh-"

Before the words came out, the same miserable scream came from the carriage.

Xue Xian: "..." Is the agreed-upon calm?

Xuan Min's snow-white sleeves swept out of the car curtain, and there was a bang, and Lao Chen's head crashed into the car with a scream.

When he was struggling with his eyes closed, Xuan Min had already dragged him in through the car window.

Until he slumped in the carriage, the screaming didn't stop.

As soon as everyone got into the car, Xue Xian lazily stretched out his hand out of the car, making a simple move.

Xingzi was inexplicably dumbfounded...

The carriage tilted again, and Mrs. Chen couldn't hold it steady this time, and fell to one side.Xingzi, who was standing still, was bumped by her, and fell to one side without any struggle, and bumped into Lu Nianqi who was on the far side.

Nian Qi grabbed his wooden branch, snapped, and was photographed against the wall of the carriage without love.

Under the strong wind brought by Xue Xian, the carriage jumped into the air again, and ran straight towards the clouds amidst the neighing sound.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it swooped down from the clouds to the ground again.

Mrs. Chen and Xingzi in the car were already dumbstruck, and slipped and fell on the other side of the car wall during the tilt.

Lu Nianqi: "..."

For Xingzi and Mrs. Chen, the carriage landed on the ground again with just a breath.

"Here we are." Xue Xian moved his finger, and the car door suddenly opened, and the scene outside fell into the eyes of everyone in the car——

As Mrs. Chen and the others said, there was indeed a deserted village in front of them, with dilapidated and gloomy houses, full of weeds, and no vitality at all.Even though the sky is bright and the east is white, it should be the freshest time of the day, but people are still afraid to step in here.

"Ah -ah-" The crow's dumb voice flew out of the desert village, and was shocked by Xingzi, and they couldn't help shrinking into the car.

Just because there is no human habitation, any sound will be amplified several times.As soon as Xuan Min stepped on the outside of the car, a woman's scream suddenly came from the depths of the deserted village.

"Young Madam!" Xingzi was anxious, "This is the voice of Young Madam! It's really inside!"

Xuan Min tilted his head slightly, and said to Xue Xian, "Wait here."

After saying that, he wanted to follow the voice to the depths of the deserted village.

He had nothing to worry about when doing things, Xue Xian leaned against the wall of the car with his arms folded like a gentleman, nodded and said: "Okay, it will save me trouble, go and come back quickly."

Xuan Min frowned and looked around the location of this barren village.Seriously speaking, this barren village does have some problems.It is a strong and hollow shell, and something that plays a key role is missing, so that in an excellent position, a dead area is formed.

As for what was lost...

Xuan Min thought for a moment, then walked forward in stride, subconsciously trying to untie the string of copper coins in his waist while walking, but found nothing.

Xuan Min: "..."

After blinking, Xue Xian, who moved his position and leaned against the carriage door to watch Xuan Min's back, narrowed his eyes——

Seeing Xuan Min who had just walked out for a few feet, turned back again.

Xue Xian looked up to see him walk to the door, tapped lightly on the outer wall of the carriage with his knuckles, and spread his slender and handsome hands towards Xue Xian.

"What?" Xue Xian didn't respond for a while.

Xuan Min said calmly, "Copper coins."

Xingzi in the car stared at his face, thinking that this monk is really pretty...

She looked at Xue Xian again, and felt that he was also very good-looking.

however……

Xingzi's heart was turned upside down by lightning: Why did the master reach out to Mr. Xue when he wanted money? ?

However, before she could figure it out, Xuan Min, who was carrying a string of copper coins, had already re-entered the deserted village.

The copper coins bumped lightly along the way, making a slight noise, being swept by the strange wind in this deserted village, adding several layers of echoes back and forth.

Following the rhythm of the copper coins hitting, Xue Xian tapped his fingers lightly on his unconscious knee, waiting for Xuan Min's quick victory.

However, after he knocked for a long time, his slender fingers suddenly stopped——

wrong!After a while, Xuan Min's figure disappeared, so why didn't the sound of copper coins become farther away? !

At this moment, the jingle and crisp impact sound suddenly split.Then, there was a faint buzzing sound from the ground, which sounded quite familiar...

Xue Xian only felt that when the buzz sounded, his mind went blank at first, and then, a scene that he had forgotten for a long time reappeared in his mind.
