"Last time when we talked about the lost baby on the Ghost Festival, everyone in Jia's family was very anxious, but they couldn't find their baby. This time, let's talk about where the baby is!" The middle-aged man picked up a cup of tea brewed with fat sea, and knocked the wooden board on the table, causing people around to clenched their clothes and all their attention was on this unattractive storyteller.

There was no such Shuoshutang in the town, but the roads have been repaired well in the past two years, and the business has also boomed. As soon as the people's life is good, they start to have fun for themselves, so the "Shushutang" came into being.

But in this rural village, there are two people who seem out of place.Among them was a man in red, handsome and flying, with an extraordinary expression, his long hair was only half rolled up, and the rest was floating wantonly in the air and on his clothes.The other one looks more well-behaved, with her hair tied up in a small bun on the top of her head, with a bookish look and elegant brows, attracting the eyes of several old women who look like matchmakers from time to time.

And these two are Li Banxi and Lian Shuo who were forcibly dragged by Aunt Lan to the town to listen to books.After sending Qiu Sheng away last time, Aunt Lan followed the two back home, her soul returned to her body, and she woke up within a few hours.

The ticket for listening to the book was stuffed by Aunt Lan to express her gratitude to the two of them. They couldn't refuse, so they accepted it, thinking that it would be good to pass the time once in a while. Unexpectedly, this storyteller was so unreliable. He talked nonsense about ghosts and gods that he didn't understand, and made a fuss about it.

But everyone eats this, the more bizarre the story is, the more people listen to it, and the more impossible things are urged to be told.This time, even the teahouse next door, which had been doing poorly in business, became rich this time around.

"Why are those people so close?" Li Banxi saw that the storyteller's saliva could apply a spa mask to the people in front of him, and shook his head, "I want to hold an umbrella for them..."

Lian Shuo turned his head to see that Li Banxi's eyes were red, and there were even a few streaks of blood in them. He couldn't stop yawning, and asked in a low voice, "Bored?"

"No." Li Banxi shook his head, took a small plate of snacks that looked good, and took a piece into his mouth, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night..."

Li Banxi nodded after eating, the scum still remained at the corner of his mouth, Lian Shuo gently wiped it off with his hands, fearing that he would choke and poured a pot of tea to dry beside him, "Did you hear something?"

Li Banxi was shocked: "How do you know? The voice sounded a bit pervasive. At first I thought it was a nightmare, but I didn't expect it to actually have a voice!"

His voice was a bit loud, which attracted other people's attention. Lian Shuo put his index finger between his lips: "Shh...keep down, I'll tell you when I get back."

When Li Banxi heard this, it must be that this matter is not good to publicize outside, so he didn't ask any further, and was about to leave after listening to this book, when he heard a noise outside.

Everyone turned their heads in unison in an instant, and even the storyteller forgot his own job.

Because someone shouted outside: "Help! Come quickly! Someone is going to die!" The voice sounded like it was getting old.

Li Banxi glanced at Lianshuo, and the two walked out quickly. As soon as they went out, they could see a group of people forming a circle, but the protagonists inside the circle could not see them.

The two walked towards the group of people, but unexpectedly found the figure of Aunt Lan who was going to the temple inside.

Aunt Lan brought the clay doll here today, and she was going to burn it to Qiu Sheng, so it was a good farewell.But who is this woman surrounded by the crowd with a gossip face and a vegetable basket in her hand?

The two looked at each other with puzzled faces, and walked forward a few steps, Li Banxi patted Aunt Lan lightly, who knew that Aunt Lan was more serious about watching the excitement than anyone else, and she refused to turn back even if she died.

The two were helpless, and found that the location was very good, and they could see the two people surrounded, one of them was over half a century old, his hair was all white, his face was unkempt, and there were still tears on his face, kneeling on the ground and dragging Live in the corner of another person's clothes.And the person who was grabbed by the corner of his clothes... looked familiar.

"Kirin!"

Li Banxi shouted at the helpless man.

It turns out that this man is the son of Yinglong whom Li Banxi and Lian Shuo met when they went to the Dragon Palace last time—Qilin.

When Qilin heard someone calling him, he turned around and glanced at Li Banxi, as if he had seen a living Bodhisattva in surprise. It was like a lifesaver to him.

"Banxi!" Qilin called out affectionately, arousing the dissatisfaction of Lian Shuo, who had been frowning since seeing him.Li Banxi was amazed that Prince Long couldn't stay in the Dragon Palace, he insisted on coming to this remote village to experience life, so he didn't notice Lian Shuo's expression.

Aunt Lan was slightly surprised to see that Li Banxi and Lian Shuo were also inside, but at this time there were many people, so she couldn't say hello or anything.

Li Banxi knows Qilin's nature, so he shouldn't embarrass an old man who looks helpless and lonely. There must be some misunderstanding. Could it be that he was touched by this old man?

Thinking of this, Li Banxi took a few steps forward: "Hello! This friend is not a bad person. If you let him go, we won't run away. Can you sit down and explain the matter clearly?"

Seeing someone supporting the young man, the old man thought that the two of them were deliberately cooperating to deceive him. It happened that he was getting old at this time, and he was in a hurry.

Qilin: "..."

Li Banxi: "..."

Lian Shuo, who was standing aside and just about to go to support the scene: "..."

After falling down with such a sentence, Li Banxi became more and more suspicious that this person was specialized in touching porcelain, but even if a person fainted in front of him, he couldn't just leave him dead.

Aunt Lan, who had never met Li Banxi, yelled, "Why are you standing still! Send it to the hospital!"

So Lian Shuo took the old man who didn't know if he really fainted on his back and went to a nearby medical clinic. After the doctor stroking his white beard performed a whole set of "look, hear and ask" and spit out "it's nothing, just fainted from hunger" , finally confirmed that this person really passed out.

Li Banxi was ashamed of what he thought just now, no matter if the dizziness was real or fake, he should send the person to the hospital as soon as possible, if it was really a critical illness, his life would be at the mercy of his own thoughts.

Since the old man didn't seem to be pretending to be dizzy, he pointed the finger at Prince Long who came to the world for a "private visit".

Aunt Lan continued to stay in the inner hall to listen to the doctor leaving the house and grab medicine by the way. Li Banxi stuffed Aunt Lan with a piece of silver and followed Lian Shuo and Qilin to the front hall.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment.

Li Banxi also felt the delicate atmosphere among the few people, so he cleared his throat, frowning at Qilin deliberately and said, "Tell me, what did you do to the people inside?" Change your mouth.

Qilin was silent for a long time, his pretty face was slightly distorted because his brows were all wrinkled together, he first picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and sprayed out the first mouthful before swallowing it.

The mouth was cursing: "Why does the tea in this medical center smell like traditional Chinese medicine? Is it possible that it smells like this after being smoked for a long time?"

Li Banxi continued to stare at him: "Don't talk about it, talk about business."

Qilin saw that the sloppy trick was completely ineffective on Li Banxi, so he drooped his head resentfully: "This matter...it's a long story..."

"Then you'll make a long story short!" Lian Shuo couldn't see that Li Banxi had been paying attention to this person since just now, and his heart was full of jealousy, so he naturally didn't have a friendly tone towards Qilin.

"Forget it, let me tell you directly, I have nothing to hide," Qilin said seriously, "I suspect that this old man... stole the child..."

The voice was low, but every word surprised both of them.

Li Banxi approached and said, "How do you know?"

Although Lian Shuo was dissatisfied, he also knew that the important business was important at this time, so he moved closer to listen.

"I came to this town three days ago, and I've been following this old man for the past few days," Qilin said with a serious expression when he said that he was serious, "This old man's name is Zhou Fa, the one who made a fortune. I have been poor all my life, and if I am poor, I can't afford to marry a wife. Seeing that my family's incense is about to be buried in my own hands, Zhou Fa is also in a hurry, and directly engages in this unconscionable business - taking it from a rich family The dead star of the door was sold to others."

"Sangmenxing?" Li Banxi always thought that this word would only appear in modern times.

"It's the ones with bad horoscopes, who were born as the lone star of the gods, who can kill people." Lian Shuo wrote lightly.

But Li Banxi's heart still hurt a bit. When Lian Shuo was born...was he also treated like a dead star by the people around him?Otherwise, how could he be so clear about these things?

Li Banxi didn't ask, but returned to the main topic: "A rich family?" Ordinarily, although a rich family in ancient times believed these things, they wouldn't just throw their children away to fend for themselves!

Qilin seemed to know what he wanted to ask, so he patiently explained: "For big families, some big families who are officials or businessmen, once a child is born, they will ask Mr. Feng Shui to tell the fortune. If not, send someone to throw it out and let it fend for itself.”

Li Banxi was surprised: "So superstitious?"

Qilin was about to pick up the pot and pour it into his mouth, but he put it down again when he thought that the tea smelled like Chinese medicine.

"Are you thirsty?" Seeing that he wanted to drink water several times, Li Banxi asked him directly.

"No," Qilin shook his head, "Didn't those storytellers drink saliva at critical moments to whet the audience's appetite?"

Li Banxi: "..."

Forget it, he shouldn't have asked, and brought the topic back in time: "That Zhou Fa... how could he get this kid out of a rich family!" Thinking about it this way, this poor bachelor really has some skills.

"This is the way." Qilin lowered his voice, "I found out that there is an organization here."

"Organization?" There was even a hint of fear in Li Banxi's voice, and Lian Lianshuo also began to frown.

"Yes." Qilin remembered what he had been investigating all night long these days, "I found that there are quite a lot of people in this organization, most of them are desperadoes or bastards without families. In a blink of an eye, I go to drink or go to the casino to lose, and then start to pick up business."

Li Banxi looked serious, and shook his head: "It's really bad!" Earning this kind of black-hearted money, he is not afraid of those ghosts coming to him in his dreams in the middle of the night.

Lian Shuo also responded, "By the way, didn't you just say that you didn't sleep last night, okay?"

After Li Banxi said "Yes", Lian Shuo said again: "I heard the sound of a baby crying."

He lowered his head and thought, this organization may have mixed with many servants of wealthy families, and those babies, those who were sold, did not know what their fate was, and those who were directly discarded would probably only have a dead end.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard the doctor's voice from inside: "I'm awake. You guys come over and have a look!"

Several people stood up, Zhou Fa was the key person they found in the organization, and he couldn't sneak away.

Li Banxi suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, why did you come here?"
