[Liao Zhai] I live in Lanruo Temple

At dusk, the owner of the bandit village returned with a full load of men.

"Today, the owner of the Japanese village made another big deal. On the way back, he also hunted a musk deer and some wild boars. Brothers, hurry up and carry these carts of salt tea, silk, gold and silver to the treasure house. Che Meijiu stays here, and then some brothers kill prey to make a fire, we will not get drunk tonight!"

The robbers in the stockade screamed and cheered loudly, those who drove in a short time, those who gathered firewood to light a fire, those who carried wine, and those who packed their prey... It was a bustling group, a lively scene.

The deer tied into rice dumplings at the corner looked at a bandit who was sharpening his knife with fearful eyes, especially in this hot bandit village, he seemed out of place.

Soon the bandit sharpened his butcher knife and walked quickly towards where the deer was.Taking a sneak peek at this scene, Zhang Zi's body trembled involuntarily, and he buried his head in tears.

The robber looked at the deer and the wild boar, and after a while called someone over and said, "You can help carry away a few wild boars. As for this deer, it is too thin and has little meat at all. It will not be too late to slaughter it after raising it for a while."

Hearing this, Zhang Zi knew that he had escaped a catastrophe temporarily, and almost wept with joy.But soon the cry of the wild boar's tragic death rushed into the deer's ears, thinking that he would end up like this in the near future, and his heart was suddenly filled with fear.

A cone-shaped fire was burning in the middle of the open space, and the robbers sat around the fire, holding processed wild boar for barbecue in their left hand, and holding pottery bowls for wine in their right hand.

"Full up, full up."

"Give me another piece of wild boar, a big one."

All of a sudden, the voices and laughter were loud, and the robbers drank like they didn't want money.

Well, the wine is stolen, and it really doesn't cost money.

Before Sishi, a group of robbers had already eaten their waists and belly, and they were half drunk, but they still poured bowls of wine into their mouths as if they didn't know how to be full.

At some point, a puff of smoke gathered in the cottage, filled the air, and enveloped the cottage and the bandits.

The strange thing is that this fog is only found in the cottage, and once the line of sight leaves the range of the village, it can't be seen in a single cloud.

The smoke turned out to be thicker and deeper, and after a while the robbers couldn't even see the people sitting on the left and right clearly, and they could no longer regard it as the usual smoke from the fire.

"There's a lot of smoke, is it fog?"

Before the robber who raised the question could wait for his accomplice's response, he heard a woman's coquettish laughter first.The sound is sometimes near and sometimes far away, as if it is near the ear, and it seems to be in the distance.

"Oh, what a bloody smell, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Everyone in this group of thieves has human life on their hands. After death, they will definitely be tortured in the frying pan when they go to the underworld."

"It's more than that. It is expected that they will have to be reincarnated as beasts for several lives, and be slaughtered by those victims."

The weird whispers ended quickly, and the laughter sounded again.

The village master held the machete and smashed it to the ground with a bang, and shouted loudly: "Who is playing tricks behind his back, get out, grandpa!"

After he finished speaking, he felt his shoulder being touched, followed by a delicate female voice saying: "Where are you looking, isn't my servant right behind you?"

The drunk village owner turned his head subconsciously, and found that it was a girl whom I felt pity for, her ferocious expression instantly changed to disbelief and salivation.

For a moment, he actually forgot all the strange things, staring at the beautiful girl like a hungry wolf, his saliva almost flowed out.

"Beauty, beauty!"

At this time, there was a "pat" sound suddenly, and a sole of a shoe slapped the village master's left cheek loudly, and the flesh on his face trembled several times before stopping.

The village master smoked from his seven orifices, and he could clearly see that the attack was a little boy standing beside the girl.

The boy grabbed a shoe with one hand, glared at him with cross-eyed eyes, took advantage of the fact that the village master hadn't fully reacted, and took the opportunity to whip him a second time with the sole of his shoe, and said, "Put down your disgusting face, it's too ugly !"

The village owner covered his face, scolded angrily, and raised his knife to chop off the boy's head.In the blink of an eye, a vine rose from the ground, swept away the village master's machete, hooked his legs, and hung it in mid-air.

The village owner who was flying up to the sky gave a cold snort, and then took a deep look at the boy beside him. "Young Lord Qingyu, you just don't want to do what you agreed to do? Then what are you doing now?"

But it turns out that the girl is the female ghost Ping'er from Lanruo Temple, and the boy is Liu Qingyu.

At first, grandma didn't allow Liu Qingyu to come along, but Liu Qingyu felt that if she missed this good show, she would regret it for the rest of her life.So, this ghostly ghost spent an afternoon learning the skill of crying from a few female ghosts.

With tears in his eyes, he ran to grandma and dangled around. Without half a cup of tea, grandma couldn't harden her heart, so she had a headache and agreed to Liu Qingyu to follow, but the condition was that he could only stand in a safe place to watch. Do it blindly.

Hearing Ping'er's words, Liu Qingyu hid her "weapon" quickly, coughed a little guiltyly, and said in a low voice: "I was excited for a while, I forgot. You continue to work, and I promise to be obedient."

After all, he reluctantly returned to Nie Xiaoqian with Ping'er's eyes on him.

Nie Xiaoqian is a new ghost. If Liu Qingyu in Lanruo Temple is said to be the last in combat power, then she is the second to last.

Robbers kill too much and have a lot of blood on their bodies. Strong ghosts can ignore them, but weak ghosts can't stand them.Did you let "Xun" arrive without seeing Nie Xiaoqian, who was second to last just now?

Fortunately, grandma had already considered this point, and excluded Nie Xiaoqian from the combatants in advance, and sent her to the logistics department to take care of the children.

Stop talking, and turn your gaze back to the robber.

At this time, the flame of the fire had become very small, and a gust of wind was enough to blow it out.The robbers saw a tree and vines bursting out of the ground, swept away and hung up the village owner. Knowing that something was wrong, their half-drunk minds all woke up.

On that side, Ping'er's beautiful face suddenly turned into an evil face that could scare a child into tears, with red eyes, green face, lumpy flesh, and a sly smile at the robbers.

Just looking at it with your eyes can make people get goosebumps.

Witnessing the scene of a beauty turning into an evil ghost all of a sudden, all the robbers present were frightened, and their hairs exploded.

"There's a ghost!"

"Evil ghosts! Evil ghosts are coming to eat people!"

The robbers screamed and hurriedly moved their legs back, looking to escape.The grandma and other female ghosts who were hiding in the dark appeared quickly when they saw the opportunity.

The latter got a ghost to come out of the wall to prevent the robbers from escaping by chance, so they scattered neatly to look for the robbers' money.

The grandma with strong group attack ability stood calmly on the escape route of the robbers, and shot out hundreds of vines as thick as a man's arm from behind, or tripped and tied the robbers, or brandished and whipped the robbers' bodies, or pulled them out. Their weapons were suspended and swung...

A group of robbers had no power to resist the grandma, like a little girl who was molested, and the screams full of fear were like waves one after another.

Liu Qingyu looked at it for a while and felt bored, seeing Ping'er waiting for the female ghost to find the dirty money, she hurriedly followed with Nie Xiaoqian.

However, the other person's calf was short and he fell to the rear.

Liu Qingyu gritted her teeth, and trotted after him with all her might, but she ignored her feet, accidentally tripped over something, and fell to the ground with a bang.

With a dark face, Liu Qingyu got up to look for the culprit, and when she turned her head, she met a pair of teary deer-like eyes.

Liu Qingyu glanced at the owner's rice dumpling shape, then looked at its bloody hind legs, and said while patting the dust off her body, "What is it, stupid roe deer?"

After saying the words, Liu Qingyu actually read aggrieved in the other party's eyes.

Liu Qingyu's clothes didn't look like the children of the robbers in the village, but rather like they were robbed by the robbers. Seeing that he was still a kid, Zhang Zi didn't care about his saying that he was a stupid roe deer, so he kindly reminded him: " A big demon and a group of female ghosts have broken into the village, and they are killing people, please leave quickly, child, or you will be eaten."

In fact, it is also in danger of being eaten, but it is injured, and even if it asks someone to untie the rope, it will not be able to escape. It is better to save some energy and suffer less.

When Liu Qingyu heard a "silly roe deer" uttering words, she immediately opened her eyes in surprise.

Although he has spent a few years here, he has always lived in Lanruo Temple and rarely went out. He is very well protected by his grandmother and the others. He only knows that there are spirits near the mountain, but in fact, he has never seen them except for a group of female ghosts at home. The goblin next to him, so his mentality has not completely turned around.

Today, I met a "silly roe deer" who can only talk, which made Liu Qingyu clearly realize that Liaozhai is a world where ghosts and ghosts roam everywhere.

He had a feeling that in the future, he might encounter more strange things, and talking animals were just one of them.

Liu Qingyu squatted in front of the "silly roe deer", touched her nose, and smiled "shyly". "Uh... It's embarrassing to say it, but I'm actually in the same group as those female ghosts."

Deer: "...!!"

It was injured and bled a lot, and fell asleep in a daze before, until the grandma shot out a strong monster, and it woke up, so it didn't even know that Liu Qingyu and grandma were in the same group.

Although there are many incredible things in this world, the combination of demons, ghosts, and humans is still rare in a hundred years.

"Who are you squatting here talking to?"

Grandma arrives before she hears.

She stunned the robbers, and the bundles piled up into a hill, so she wanted to help find the robbers' stolen money.After looking for it, I came across Liu Qingyu squatting near the stable and muttering.

Liu Qingyu pointed at the roe deer and said with a smile: "Grandma, come and see, here is a stupid roe deer who can speak human language, it seems to have become a spirit."

Zhangzi felt the powerful demonic power emanating from his grandma, his little heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to move even if he knew that the other person was touching his body.

The big fish in the water eats the small fish, this principle is also applicable in the world of demons and ghosts.It is common for big monsters to eat little ones, and big ghosts to eat little ones.It doesn't dare to bet that this grandma is an exception, so it behaves as well as possible.

"It turned out to be a scorpion spirit. You have 400 years of cultivation, how could you let a few robbers catch you?"

Zhangzi expressed his aggrievedness. There are also strong and weak monsters. Do you think everyone is a thousand-year-old demon like you?

Furthermore, every now and then, a vixen would fall into the hands of a hunter, and even its father had suffered the same fall.She is just a little roe deer in rigid form, so it is understandable to be caught by robbers once, right?

"The roe deer, isn't it a stupid roe deer?" Liu Qingyu, who had misidentified the species, immediately understood where the deer's aggrieved just now came from, and reached out her hand to untie the rope on the deer's body.

Zhangzi thanked weakly, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Lang."

"You're welcome." Liu Qingyu waved her hand, suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but add: "Just remember not to come to me to repay your kindness in the future, I can't bear it."

There are many short stories in Liao Zhai, although Liu Qingyu has never read them and cannot remember many specific stories, but fortunately, she knows that many of them are about ghosts repaying favors.

Reported and reported, reported to the bed.

Thinking about it makes him feel cold, if this is a blessing, he would rather not have it.

"Grandma, Mr. Qingyu, the robber's stolen money has been moved, we can get it to the government."

Nie Xiaoqian, Ping'er, and other ghosts rushed over with joyful smiles on their faces.

"Oh, why is there still a deer spirit here?" Most of them knew that the deer was a fairy when they saw the deer.

"It was captured by the robbers." Liu Qingyu responded softly, her eyes fell on the dozens of horses in the shed, and she asked her grandma: "It stands to reason that these horses are also one of the stolen money of the robbers. Do you want to take them to the government together?"

For some reason, the eyes of a group of horses all fell on this side. Grandma thought for a while, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it, untie the horse ropes, and let them all go back to the forest. As for you roe..."

While speaking, grandma's eyes turned to the deer beside her.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zi fainted at this moment.

Liu Qingyu poked it, "Is it dead?"

Grandma shook her head and made a diagnosis: "Excessive blood loss, overly frightened, just fainted. Put it in a big box first, and after we deliver the things to the magistrate, we will take it back to Lanruo Temple to recuperate."

It happened that the female ghosts had finished letting go of their horses, and grandma immediately called them to cast spells to remove the robbers and stolen money.

When the party left the cottage and shuttled through the mountains and forests, Liu Qingyu found helplessly that the released horses were actively following behind him, and they couldn't drive them away.

In desperation, grandma had to order Ping'er and Nie Xiaoqian to take Liu Qingyu and Zhangzi back to Lanruo Temple.

As for the horses, they were the ones who had to go with them, and they weren't taken by grandma and the others, so they couldn't be counted as embezzlement.

Two years ago, Jinhua City had a new magistrate. He was a good official, and the servants under him also performed their duties well.

Especially the yamen servants who are in charge of guarding the gate, they usually get up earlier than ordinary people, and they stand in front of the yamen on duty at dawn, and there are almost no people on the street at that time.

As soon as the two gatekeepers opened the gate of the mansion today, they were greatly frightened.

They looked at the robbers piled up in the hill on the left, and then at the property piled up in the hill on the right. After being dumbfounded for a moment, they immediately yelled as if they were being chased and killed.

"My lord! Master! Come here!! Something serious has happened!!"
