Raiders White Moonlight Master

Chapter 17 Don't Be Greedy

As the sun sets, the smoke rises from the simple roof into the golden sky.The flint ignited the wick with only half of the oil left. The moth searched for the faint light and sneaked into the slightly narrow room. Before flying a few times, it was slapped to death by a pair of dark and rough hands.

Ah Shui sat on the bench, dangling with her feet unable to step on the ground, watching her mother bring the dishes out of the kitchen.The chopsticks made a muffled sound when they collided with the edge of the bowl, and the hot dishes in the ceramic bowl had slowed down at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When Ah Shui was packing up the dishes and taking them to the kitchen, he saw the old woman in the afternoon again, she was still leaning on a cane and standing bent over in the corner.Ah Shui looked at the door strangely, and couldn't help wondering, how could the old lady come in even though the door was closed by Auntie.

Ah Shui was still young at that time, so she walked over and said to the old woman, "Why don't you go home?"

The old woman did not speak.

The child's crisp voice was like the muffled thunder in spring, rolling heavily and gloomyly in her mother's heart.

A Niang's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and there was no one else in the corner except Ah Shui.

"Mother!" Ah Shui turned her head, "Can we take this old lady in?"

A Niang's face was particularly ugly, and she shouted: "Hurry up and go back to your room to sleep."

"Mom, can't you see her? But..."

That was the first time Ah Shui saw her mother get so angry, and threw her directly into the room by the neck.Ah Shui still remembered that A Niang's feet were trembling at that time, and after taking her into the room, she hid in another room and whispered to her father.

Ah Shui got up slowly, wet her fingers with saliva, and pierced the window paper. She saw that the old woman was still in the house.But this time Ah Shui didn't dare to say anything, she didn't want A Niang to be unhappy.

Many times afterwards, Ah Shui saw gray-haired people wearing shrouds on the road, some of whom Ah Shui knew or not.Occasionally listening to the corner, Ah Shui knew why her father and mother became more and more indifferent to her.

"Sir, should we invite a Taoist priest to come and take a look?"

Dad said in a rough voice: "That girl, Ah Shui, is getting more and more evil. Yesterday, the second girl from the Chen family came to look for her."

"Didn't the second girl drown?!", A Niang covered her mouth, her eyes fluttered around, as if frightened, "Will our family also..."

"Shut up!", Ah Shui's abnormal behavior again and again made the man a little scared, and hurriedly turned off the light and got into bed, "Don't scare yourself."

After a long time, Father's voice sounded in the dark room, and he said to A Niang: "Tomorrow I will go to the temple to invite the host."

Children who are the same age as Ah Shui all play innocently with their brothers and sisters, but Ah Shui cannot join in.As she grew older, she knew that her father and mother had been afraid of her all these years, but because of her blood relationship, she was reluctant to abandon her.

Ah Shui forgot how long it had been since A Niang hugged her, and she also couldn't remember the last time her father had a good look at her. She was like a flower on a branch in late spring, blooming the most beautiful and happy time in her life, waiting for her. withering.Ah Shui often sits alone on the grass by the river for a whole day, and then goes home to eat at some point, and continues to be lonely after eating.

No one taught Ah Shui to read, every time she saw her peers go to the academy, Ah Shui envied her, but she never talked with her father and mother, because Ah Shui knew that her father and mother didn't like her very much, she couldn't Let the other party hate it even more.

Ah Shui thought that this kind of life would last until she died of old age, until one day...

That night, there was a strong wind, the sky seemed to be broken, and the raindrops hit the body painfully. Thunder and light rolled from the sky like thousands of horses, and the sky exploded with a bang.

The trees on the mountain were struck by lightning, and blue smoke and flames burst out instantly.

Ah Shui heard the tremor of rolling rocks through the rain curtain, as if the drum in the hands of a warrior was beating on the solid drum surface, which made people frightened.

The torrential rain washed the hills, causing the entire slope to slide down, leaving behind dirty yellow puddles and clods of gravel.Fortunately, there were no residents on the ground near the hill, and no one was injured in the heavy rain in Qing'an Township.

But a landslide tore out a rotting coffin that had been buried deep in the soil more than a decade ago.Away from the crowd, Ah Shui saw someone prying open the coffin with a hammer, only to find that there were only bones and a decayed bridal gown inside.

The old man in the town said that a foreigner was buried in this coffin. No one knew her name, but she was a very beautiful woman holding a knee-high boy in her arms.

A few days later, the woman died in the town. No one knew how she died. She was dressed in a red wedding dress and lay dead in the mountains along with the boy.The government did not find any whereabouts, and finally closed the case hastily, and the people of Qing'an Town gave her a place to be buried.

Listening to the old man's narration, Ah Shui stared blankly at the female ghost in red beside the coffin.She has seen a lot of ghosts over the years, but none of them have made Ah Shui like this. Just feeling the breath makes her whole body feel cold.

That night, the sky-high red light surged across the cemetery like a tide, illuminating half of the sky, and the people of Qing'an Town wrapped their clothes whispering to each other and walked out of the courtyard to watch all this.

But none of them could see the ghost cultivator in red floating sullenly in the air, with black hair flying down to the ground like a waterfall.The strands of hair hovered lightly over everyone's head, lifelike, as if marking their prey.Ah Shui looked at the long hair that was about to approach her, and knocked it off abruptly, and was caught off guard by the female ghost's eyes eager to eat people.

Ah Shui took half a step back in fright, and it was this movement that caught Guixiu's attention.She approached Ah Shui with a vicious smile, her eyes full of greed, "Your soul is more delicious than theirs, give it to me."

"Sister", at that moment, Ah Shui was extremely scared and calm, "Can I let others go after eating?"

The female ghost stretched out her sharp nails, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Ah Shui is not afraid, Ah Shui is a person who is not liked, I can give it to my sister, but can my sister tell you your name?"

It was the first time for a female ghost to see a child so bold. Although she found it interesting, it couldn't stop her determination to eat the soul of the other party, "Xue Wuer."

As soon as the words fell, Ah Shui saw the female ghost baring her fangs and rushing towards her.The pain of the soul being torn apart was unimaginable. Ah Shui fell to the ground and cried out in pain, but the people around her seemed to be unable to see herself, so she could only bear it alone.

Ah Shui didn't know how long it lasted, maybe it was an hour or two, so long it made her feel like a whole day had passed, she was dazed and repeatedly fainted and woke up in pain.When the body is in great pain, lesser pains are easily ignored.

The air suddenly became scorching hot, like being in a sea of ​​fire. Ah Shui raised her eyelids, which were blurred with tears, and saw her house was burning, and the huge fire rushed to the roof.

The day finally dawned.

Ah Shui was surprised that she didn't die, but she lost her father, mother and elder brother.

The female ghost wanted to eat Ah Shui's soul, but she didn't expect that Ah Shui was born with an unusual physique. Not only did she not eat it, but she also melted a small part of it when the spirit body and the soul were fighting against each other.

If Xue Wu'er hadn't realized something was wrong and quickly pulled away, she wouldn't know how much she would have hurt herself.

Flowers bloom and fall, passing through the years.

Under the warm sunshine, Ah Shui recounted the past in detail. When she mentioned the sad part, she put her face on Shen Baixing's lap, and finally forced a smile: "Sir, I told you, are you not angry anymore?"

Shen Baixing didn't expect that a little girl like Ah Shui would have to go through so much, and immediately felt pity, "Not angry".He remembered something, and suddenly said: "Give me your wrist."

Downstairs, the inn lobby was full of tables for food, and Shan Yuan and Ling Yunzong were drinking with wine glasses.The spicy wine burns down the throat all the way into the stomach. The wine is made by the farmhouse, and Shan Yuan loves this. His alcohol capacity is trained in the army.The frontier is bitter and cold, and the superiors also understand that as long as it does not affect military affairs, they have always turned a blind eye.

Shan Yuan could drink it, but Ling Yunzong couldn't. Song Liuyan took a sip of the burning knife and spat it out, and asked the shopkeeper for a pot of flower wine.The plum blossom wine brewed with snow water looks like a bright glow. When the small strands flow out from the spout of the white porcelain pot, the faint plum fragrance is inhaled into the nasal cavity together with the aroma of the wine. Just the smell is unforgettable.

This plum blossom wine was brewed by the shopkeeper himself, the quantity is not much, and it is never sold, it is only because Shan Yuan and Ling Yunzong's people are willing to give it out for their town to get rid of ghosts and ghosts.

"Aren't Brother Shen coming to have a drink together?" Bai Chang asked while holding up his glass.

Shan Yuan: "My master respects him, he is in poor health and should not drink alcohol."

"That's it."

Song Liuyan, who was drinking happily, pushed the cup in front of Shan Yuan, and said: "This wine is not strong at all, sweet and fragrant, making people want to drink more after taking a sip. It shouldn't be a problem for Brother Shen to drink some."

Shan Yuan looked into the cup, the color of the plum blossom wine was indeed very beautiful, the thin powder was transparent in the white porcelain cup, it was really eye-catching.Shan Yuan had a thought, and wrote it down, but because Master didn't like to drink with others like this, so he refused first.

After drinking, Shan Yuan went to the shopkeeper alone and ordered a pot of the plum blossom wine just now.

After a few knocks on the door, Shen Baixing's faint voice came from inside.

Shan Yuan pushed the door open and entered, and all he could see was the flawless side face of the master under the sun, holding Ah Shui's wrist with one hand, groping for something.

Shen Baixing's five fingers were as long as jade, and his arms became more white when facing the light.As he withdrew his hand, the jade color was soon covered by the blue cuffs. He lightly flicked his wide sleeves, and turned his head, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"The disciple was drinking down there just now. Hearing that the plum blossom wine is fragrant and not intoxicating, I thought that Master might like it, so I ordered a jug."

There was an imperceptible smile in Shen Baixing's eyes, "Your apprentice is so good."

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Shan Yuan stopped the hand that was holding the wine glass. As soon as he raised his head, he caught a glimpse of the gloom in Ah Shui's eyes that hadn't faded away in time.Shan Yuan looked away calmly, and poured wine for his master.

The light-colored lips touched the nebula glass, and drank the plum blossom wine that looked like a bright glow.Shen Baixing enjoyed his apprentice's service while drinking, and the lion cat smelled the wine and came down from the roof, meowing and wanting to drink.

In the aroma of the wine, Shen Baixing drank until his face was slightly red, and when he reached out to take the glass cup again, he found that it was empty.

Shan Yuan solemnly advised: "Master, don't be greedy."

Shen Baixing: "...", his apprentice has so many things.

Just as Shen Baixing was about to use his master's coercion and told Shan Yuan not to dissuade him, a person suddenly broke into the downstairs lobby.

The man was dressed in ragged clothes and was covered in dirt. He staggered and fell down at the door of the inn. He said angrily, "Come, come...bring me something to eat."
