When ten wives were united, I panicked

He Xizhu took off the dirty and useless thin quilt, carefully wrapped the jar with the inner layer of the quilt, and tied it to his chest.

She only took a gold ingot, and the little silver that was left on her body, and took Ye Yushi's hand and walked out.

It was supposed to be the busiest time on the street, and it was supposed to be the busiest area in the town, but the entrance of this house was eerily quiet, and even the streets next to it were empty, with no merchants or pedestrians.

He Xizhu thought for a while, and pointed to the direction where he met those residents yesterday: "Shall we go this way?"

Ye Yushi nodded and followed her, following He Xizhu's footsteps and drifting forward, so obedient.

It seems that no one has visited this area for a long time. Grass has grown in the cracks of the stone floor, and it doesn't look like someone has walked by.

They walked along this road for a few minutes, and finally arrived at a relatively lively market.

Residents in the small town used bamboo baskets to pack their own things they wanted to exchange for money, and set up simple wooden tables on both sides of the street, without shouting, only the voice of the buyer bargaining could be heard more clearly.

He Xizhu took a look, walked to the booth closest to her, bent down, and smiled what she thought was very friendly.

"Excuse me, do you know where there is a pawn shop in this town?"

The shopkeeper suddenly raised his head after hearing He Xizhu's voice, his body fell back and he almost fell to the ground.

He was trembling all over, the beard on his face trembled, and there was clear fear in his eyes.

"You..." He shook his hand and pointed in the direction of the house, "Where did you come from?"

Of course He Xizhu knew what he was afraid of. She squeezed Ye Yushi's hand and pretended to be puzzled: "Yes, I came from there. I just arrived in this town yesterday, and there is a kind man Seeing that I had nowhere to go, he took me to the big mansion over there and let me stay there for one night, is there any problem?"

"You, you, you..." The vendor trembled even more, he almost scrambled away from He Xizhu, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"I'm human." He Xizhu deliberately raised his voice, as if he said angrily, "I'm just standing in front of you alive? You are really strange, and I didn't provoke you, but I just asked where the pawnshop is, if you don’t want to say it’s fine, how can you say I’m a ghost?”

Seeing her like this, the merchant calmed down a lot. He walked in and asked worriedly, "Are you really human?"

"It's a person." He Xizhu angrily stretched out the hand that was not holding Ye Yushi, "My body is hot, if you don't believe me, you can touch it."

The vendor didn't dare to touch it, but he took out the cucumber in his bamboo basket and poked He Xizhu's body to make sure he could reach it. Then he let out a long breath like the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

"Did you really live in that house last night?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes." He Xizhu said, "Is there something wrong with that house?"

"No, it's nothing." The vendor shook his head hesitantly, "You didn't notice anything strange when you slept in that house last night?"

"No way." He Xizhu thought about it seriously, "I slept until dawn, so what could be strange?"

After the merchant heard this, he looked at her as if he was looking at some kind of warrior.

"You just said you were looking for a pawn shop, right?" He pointed in the direction, "There is only one pawn shop in our town, you can see it if you keep walking along this road."

He Xizhu thanked him and walked towards the direction the man pointed.

"They are all afraid of you." After walking a little further, He Xizhu whispered to his wife beside him.

Ye Yushi turned his head to look in the direction of the market, and blinked innocently.

There are some residential houses on both sides of the road. After walking about 200 meters, you can hear the lively sound coming from the front. This area is far away from the house. There are tailor shops, jewelry stores, grocery stores, restaurants, bookstores, etc. They are all gathered here, and there are many more people shopping than what I saw in the market before. They should be relatively wealthy families in this town.

Taking a closer look, the doors of the shops were pasted with yellow talisman papers to ward off evil spirits, and there were incense burners in front of the doors, with a bunch of unburned incense stuck inside.

He Xizhu was still worried for a moment, but the talisman to ward off evil was obviously useless for Ye Yushi. On the contrary, she almost dragged He Xizhu to the incense burner, inhaling the incense that wafted from it.

"Is this your food?" He Xizhu asked.

Ye Yu didn't have time to look at her, so he just nodded.

He Xizhu looked at her back and felt that the red light on his wife seemed a little brighter than before.

"Is the little girl going to buy something?" An old man came out of the shop and looked at He Xizhu who was standing in front of the door.

This old man was different from the other people He Xizhu had met in this town. He had a kind face, eyes slightly narrowed looking at He Xizhu, with a gentle smile.

"Ah, buy, I want to buy..." He Xizhu looked up, but found that it was a shop selling sacrificial supplies.

"I want to buy this incense and incense burner." She raised her finger in the direction of the incense burner, "and paper clothes, the kind for women to wear."

The old man raised his head and glanced at her, then moved his eyes down to rest on the jar wrapped around her chest.

After a while, he nodded, turned around and walked into the room slowly: "I'll get it for you. If it's not convenient for you to come in, then you don't have to come in."

Not convenient to come in?When He Xizhu looked at the jar in front of his chest, and at Ye Yu beside him who was pulling him to smoke incense, he felt that he must have met some important key person.

So when the old man came out with the things, He Xizhu asked seriously: "Apart from me, can you see other people now? Or, can you feel the existence of other people?"

The old man gave her a silent gesture and shook his head slightly.

"Don't say it, don't say it."

After paying the money, He Xizhu took his wife and continued to walk forward. She hugged the things she had bought, and she was still thinking about the old man's last words just now.

Can't say?

Compared with asking "Are you a human or a ghost" in the market before, and mentioning the vendor in that house, He Xizhu thought that perhaps this old man really knew something that no one else did.

She glanced at the wife next to her. Ye Yushi, who had smoked incense, was obviously much more energetic than before, like a hungry person who had finally filled his stomach, floating in the air with a frightened look on his face.

He Xi shook the incense in his hand, and decided to light two for his wife after returning home.

He found a pawn shop and exchanged money, and bought ten meat buns at a roadside bun shop. He Xizhu touched the bulging purse, and finally bought himself two thin quilts and a new suit of clothes.

She was walking back with a pile of things in her arms, her sight was blocked by the thin quilt, and she couldn't see if there was anyone in front of her when she passed by the residential houses.

"You chase me!"

"You can't catch up with me slightly—"

A child's voice sounded, followed by footsteps rushing towards him.

He Xizhu subconsciously pulled Ye Yushi to the side to hide, but saw that the child rubbed against Ye Yushi and passed through Ye Yushi's body.

Wear it?

He Xizhu looked at the hands he and his wife shook to make sure that he was not hallucinating.

So, is it only you who can touch the night rain?
