Lin Sanniang was crying, her voice was much softer.She stared at her father's severed finger, maybe she didn't want anything to happen to her parents again, she gritted her teeth and said, "I was wrong just now, I was not smart enough to speak, please don't be as knowledgeable as I am, the three elders."

She lowered her stance, no longer being as bitter and mean as before, thinking about her words, not knowing how to explain to Ruoqing and the others the strange things that happened at home.Finally, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said sadly: "Just as the three elders thought, after Chen'er kicked the pot, I had a few strange dreams..."

Having said that, she stopped again, talking about a past event hesitantly, as if she was afraid of something.

Ruoqing and Chanrong didn't urge her, they waited quietly for her to figure out what to say before speaking.

After a while, Lin Sanniang talked about something she often dreamed about during this time.In her dream, there was a handsome man named Lin Xu.Lin Xu has no father and no mother. He is a poor boy who grew up in a village eating a lot of food.

As far as appearance is concerned, this man has good facial features and a tall stature. He is a rare and handsome man in the local area.But living in a dynasty full of natural disasters and man-made disasters, even if a destitute person is good-looking, he can't find someone who is willing to risk starvation to death for him to be his wife.

He dragged on like this until the day when he was not young.

One day, the neighbor got married and saw that he was still alone, so he laughed at him for the rest of his life. Lin Xu was not convinced, drank two more glasses at the banquet, and returned to his dilapidated little home with the smell of alcohol, looking at him Looking at the extremely simple thatched house, he was immediately very depressed, neither wanting to enter nor leave, so he squatted in front of the door and looked at his dilapidated house.

At night, a wild cat walked around a mouse. Lin Xu, who was nearby, happened to see this scene. Because of his low mood, he felt that he was very similar to that mouse.

They are all poor people who are underestimated and played with.

Feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, Lin Xu went up to chase the cat away. Seeing that the mouse was not afraid of people and would not run away, the drunken man picked up the mouse in a daze, and said to the mouse: "You and I are both poor people, you Played by that bad cat, ridiculed by my neighbors, I can't get a wife..."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xu put the mouse aside and staggered into the low and airy thatched hut.

When he woke up the next day, Lin Xu forgot what happened last night, and was about to go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits, when he turned around and found a gold brick in front of the door.

It was a heavy gold brick.

A gold brick pressed down by red paper.

The thick gold shines brightly in the sun, and it is a weight that people in the village can't touch in their entire lives.

Lin Xu, who never thought he could see gold bricks, was stunned. He looked left and right around the piece of gold. At first he felt that the piece of gold was fake, but the weight and touch after picking it up told him He, this is not a fake gold brick.

But who left it?

Lin Xu couldn't call it correctly, and didn't dare to use it, for fear it might be a trap.

In the next few days, he will receive the gold.

The amount of gold was one piece at first, and then more and more.The gold giver would put the gold in front of the door at first, then behind the door, in the inner room, under the bed, next to the pillow... getting closer and closer to him.

No matter how stupid Lin Xu was, he also saw that this matter was not easy.

He was afraid of being entangled with something.

I don't know what's going on, Lin Xu also stared at his home all night without sleep, but Mr. Jin appeared when he blinked, and didn't give him the slightest chance to see the clue.Lin Xu was frightened, worried that something terrible would happen, he didn't dare to touch the gold, and he didn't dare to look at the gold brick, so he left home overnight and went to sleep in a corner of the city for a few nights.

But no matter where he goes next, whether he uses the gold or not, the gold will appear by his side without fail.It was like luring him to pick it up, giving more and more, getting heavier and heavier.

At first, Lin Xu also wanted to find some capable people to come over and take a look and help him deal with these strange things.But he was also afraid that these people would be motivated by money, and he would die if he didn't die, so he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being locked up and used as a tool to extract gold.

And the emotion of fear changes over time.

Lin Xu couldn't remember how many days it took from the initial panic to the later numbness and indifference. He only remembered that he had a crooked mind and was defeated by Jin's temptation.

His life is too hard.

He wanted too much to eat a good meal and wear a good dress.In line with the idea that it is better to die than starve to death, when passing by a shop in the city, after swallowing a few times, he finally couldn't help but go home and pick up a piece of gold.

Not long after, he returned to the city with the gold in his pocket and went to the most famous wine shop in the area, but before anyone entered, the gatekeeper saw that he was dressed in rags and drove him out with disgust. After a few quarrels, people in the store looked sideways.It was so noisy that even the elderly monk drinking on the second floor saw him.

It's just that, unlike the people watching the fun, this monk stared at Lin Xu's stomach, thought for a while, and went downstairs with the flagon.

Lin Xu, who was arguing with someone, saw this monk coming, and looked at him suspiciously.

After the monk came down, he didn't say anything, but asked him in front of everyone in the wine shop: "Do you really have any money in your hand? You don't look like someone with some spare money in your clothes." , don’t come over to drink with other people’s things..."

Then the monk wanted to say something, but Lin Xu thought that he was mocking him with the store owner, and couldn't stand the humiliation right now, so he ran away without looking back.

Not long after running out, Lin Xu became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he gave the gold to the owner of another restaurant, changed his clothes, had a good drink, and finally returned home drunk with the wine jar in his arms.

It was a sweltering night, and Lin Xu felt sweaty and sticky all over after lying on the bed for a short time.

He didn't sleep well, and was in a daze, as if he heard a woman calling him outside: "Alang from the Lin family."

Lin Xu sat up in a daze, looked up, and found that the outside was pitch black, thinking that he was sleepy.But not long after lying down, Lin Xu suddenly heard rustling noises in his ears, got up and saw two mice in red and green were standing on the bedside, looking at him motionless.

Seeing Lin Xu waking up, the mouse in red said: "Alang of the Lin family, you kindly saved my master's life a few days ago. My master thinks you are a good person. He heard that you are not married yet, so he intends to let you come to our house." Now, you have already spent the deposit money my master gave you, which is to promise my master to marry you, and at this time tomorrow, I will bring a team to welcome you."

It said it sincerely and very politely, but when Lin Xu saw the mouse talking, he was startled and ran out quickly.

Later, at the gate of the village, Lin Xu met the cultivator in the daytime.Seeing that Lin Xu had disheveled hair and no shoes on, the monk shook his head and suddenly smiled.

Lin Xu saw this man sitting on the boulder in front of the village, holding a wine gourd in his hand, not understanding why he appeared here, and took two steps back in shock.

Seeing this, the monk asked him leisurely: "Hey! That gold, is it comfortable to use?"

The monk shook the wine in his hand and smiled at Lin Xu, "You know that there must be abnormalities in sending gold at night, but you can't bear the greed in your heart, and you insist on acting with the idea that nothing will happen. Now that something happened, you want to Where are you going?"

Lin Xu's body trembled when he heard the words, and he immediately thought of Bai Ri's words, and only then did he understand what he meant.Seeing that this man saw through what happened to him, he knew that this man must be a monk with some abilities, so he immediately knelt down and begged the man in front of him to save his life.

The monk came here because he didn't want to see him die. Seeing his sincerity and sadness at this moment, it didn't make it difficult for him, he just said: "It's a rat that has become a spirit, but you can't see it with a wink. Don't even think about it, there is no mouse in this world who is not afraid of cats. If you don't use this gold, the mice will have nothing to do with you. If you use it, they will definitely come to pick you up. Ground."

Lin Xu trembled in fright when he heard this, so he could only ask the monk to help him escape the catastrophe. The monk gave him a trick, asking him to make a paper doll of his size and put it on him tomorrow. Do it in Shenshi and finish it in Youshi. When doing it, you have to read your own birthday horoscope while stuffing paper money in the body of the paper figurine.

When the paper figurine is ready, he needs to pull out the three hairs on the top of the head, and put three hairs and three grains of raw rice on the paper figurine's heart.

The monk said that stuffing paper money into the paper figurine is to repay the gold sent by the mouse, and there is no debt. The three hairs represent Lin Xu himself, and the paper figurine is his substitute, and the three grains of rice. Shut up the ghost in the first scene, don't tell the mouse that Lin Xu is still in the world.

Finally, the monk asked him to take a white paper smeared with the blood of the rooster and seal the mouth of the paper figurine, lest the paper figurine would become a foreign object due to the yin energy in contact with it, and then told the mouse that he was not Lin Xu. Lin Xu.

Lin Xu agreed.

But the monk saw that he was handsome and obedient, so he couldn't help saying a few more words before leaving. One was to ask him not to touch gold after the mouse left, and the other was that if one day the mouse came to his door, he could use the means of suppressing evil to trap him. You can live in mice, but you cannot kill them.

Lin Xu agreed.

The next night, as soon as midnight came, Lin Xu heard all the noises coming from the room, and he followed the monk's instructions, lying under the paper man, and did not open his mouth when the mouse appeared. say.After lying like this for a while, the paper figurine covering his body was pulled away from him little by little.

As the paper figurine left, Lin Xu, who was staring wide-eyed, saw a huge black figure standing beside the bed, only then did he realize that the surroundings were full of mice.

Those mice stood on the windowsill and looked at him with green eyes, which made people feel creepy.

Lin Xu was startled by this scene, and his heart almost split in two. In order to survive, he tightly covered his mouth and did not make a sound.

Finally, he regained his composure and watched the paper figurine being picked up by the mouse and dragged under the bed.

Then a group of mice embraced the paper figurine, went to the stove, and crawled in along the place where the firewood was placed.

Those mice just disappeared!

Even the paper figurine slipped into the fire pit of the stove intact.

—Where did they go?

Lin Xu was puzzled, and then bravely walked over, tiptoeing under the stove, and saw a fire rising from the stove pit and the small square world.

The orange-red flames lit up from the fire-filled square hole, illuminating his eyes and the bridge of his nose, making the face in the darkness a strange warm orange.

It's like someone put a handful of firewood in there, and it's bright and warm inside.

A mouse in red clothes sat with a mouse in a phoenix crown and Xiapei, holding his shrunken paper figure in his hand.

It is similar to the appearance of a rich man in the world when they get married. The little mouse is playing and playing in the stove, greeting each other, waiting for the sound of the playing instrument to go away, and the marriage between the mouse and the paper man is completed.Then there was a burst of fire from the furnace, after the fire, the mouse disappeared, and so did the paper man.

Afterwards, Lin Xu, who was still in shock, buried the gold he received at the foot of the mountain, determined not to touch the gold, and became greedy in the next two years, repeatedly thinking about what the monk said before he left, and bravely dug up the gold. come out.

In the second year after the gold was dug out, Lin Xu, who became a rich man, was sleeping on a rainy day. He felt that the bed was extremely cold. The person was lying beside him, with an extremely strange appearance.

His heart stopped beating, and Lin Xu was shocked when he saw this, he pulled out the saber beside him and stabbed at him on the spot.And the long sword he took out was tied with several yellow talismans. The moment he touched the paper figurine, the paper figurine fell apart and cried out.

Then, Lin Xu calmly shook the golden bell on his hand, and called the little monk who had spent a lot of money to support him in his house.

When the monk came, it happened that the mouse in the woman's clothes appeared.

Seeing the mouse appear, the monk thought that the other party was an innocent troublemaker, so he killed it without saying a word.

Before the mouse died, he burst into tears and asked Lin Xu: "You took my money, but you didn't marry me, and you still beat me to death. What's the reason?"

After all, the mouse swallowed its breath, and this past ended with the mouse's departure...

It sounds like it's over.

Whether it is actually over or not, the Lin family and Ruoqing both know.

Lin Sanniang slowly talked about the past, holding Chen'er in her arms, and said: "This is the son of my second brother. My second brother has a hard life, and he was bitten by a mouse a few years ago because of his father's troubles. She got sick and left behind her second sister-in-law who was pregnant, and because the second sister-in-law was startled by a mouse, she gave birth to Chen'er, a frightened and stupid child ahead of schedule..."

"When Chen'er was born, she was wrapped in paper clothes and held a dead mouse in her arms. The second sister-in-law was overly frightened and died too. Seeing this scene, my father felt hatred and resentment in his heart, thinking of the deceased The second elder brother, thinking about Chen'er being targeted by mice, took out a lot of money in a rage, found many people, and killed all the mice in and outside the city a few years ago. Nothing happened, until Chen'er kicked the pot a few days ago, then something strange happened again."

Lin Sanniang cried while talking, "This matter is extremely weird. If others find out, whether it is Chen'er or my father, they will all be pointed out. Our family can no longer stay here, so I couldn't think about it for a while, but unexpectedly I want to hide it from you here, only let you settle the strange things at home, and don't mention anything else..."

As she spoke, there was a bit of sadness between her brows, and she looked extremely sad.

But Ruoqing was a little puzzled when he heard this.

He thought about his previous dream, and then thought about what Lin Sanniang said, and found that it didn't match at all.

Lin Sanniang said that the Lin family's money was given by the mouse.

But in his dream, someone dragged Jin away.It's just that he didn't know if Master Lin was the one who dragged Jin away.

At this moment, although Lin Sanniang's story is extremely true, it can barely match the strange things that happened in the Lin family, but she can't match Ruoqing's dream... This has some subtle feelings that are not real.

And there are many stories about mice becoming spirits, getting married, and most of them are some little monsters with low cultivation base who find themselves a companion to play with.

Some skilled monks know that when a mouse can be cultivated into a spirit, the mouse at this time is a monster, no longer a small animal.The lifelines of animals and humans are different, not red.

Monsters and other things that can transform into human form have the same lifeline as humans.That is the red lifeline.

If the mouse becomes a spirit, the whole clan will be killed by Master Lin, which may be the result of being entangled in evil debts, so Ruoqing cannot rule out that the red thread wrapped around Master Lin's body is not caused by killing the spirit.

Because of this incident, Ruoqing couldn't explain the current situation for a while, after thinking about it, he finally came up with the idea that "the man who took the gold away had an accident, and the mouse stole his gold and gave it to Master Lin" .

To be honest, before Lin Sanniang talked about this past, Ruoqing always thought that in his dream, the man who stole the gold was Master Lin.Mr. Lin might be the one with the black cloth tied over his eyes...

Hearing the past with another ghost as the background at this moment, Ruoqing felt strange in her heart, so she didn't trust Lin Sanniang's words.

Seeing her crying, Chanrong didn't continue to ask, and only said to Ruoqing and Fu Yanchen after she finished talking about the past, "Let's go."

The three left Lin Sanniang's residence.

On the way, Chanrong said, "She didn't tell the truth."

Fu Yanchen was also suspicious: "She drove us away when she saw us. If she was only worried that the Lin family would be criticized if she told about this past, she would not let her parents' lives go. In order to save face, but Mr. Lin kept cutting off his fingers, the other party pointed at his hand, which really meant that Mr. Lin took something that shouldn't be taken. Now when we heard that we came to ask about Mr. Lin's past, Lin Sanniang made up again To prevaricate us with nonsense, it is obvious that we do not want us to know the truth."

Ruoqing was puzzled and said: "It's strange, she obviously cares about Master Lin very much, and she also knows that we are here to help the Lin family, why does she still lie to us?"

Chanrong paused as she walked, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe she doesn't want us to stay in the Lin family, but she doesn't care if something happens to the Lin family. It seems that Master Lin has done very interesting things in the past. , It’s interesting to know that his daughter promised the family to pay for it.”

Speaking of this, Chanrong looked at Fu Yanchen and said, "Stay here and go investigate the life experiences of Lin Sanniang and Chen'er."

Then Chanrong turned to look at Ruoqing again, "Follow me, let's go to the city and do some shopping."

Ruoqing was puzzled, "What to buy?"

Chanrong said: "Paper."

Hearing that Chanrong wanted to take Ruoqing away, Fu Yan paused and turned to look at Ruoqing.

Ruoqing looked at him inexplicably, but heard him say: "You."

"?"

Fu Yan cast a deep glance at Chanrong, "Do you want to follow me?"

Does this mean that he doesn't want him to be alone with Chanrong?

Ruoqing was speechless, just about to say yes, when the system appeared, and two bright characters floating in the air - don't.

"……don't want."

Ruoqing avoided Fu Yanchen's eyes, turned his face to Chanrong, and said weakly: "I'd better follow my little uncle."

"You!" Fu Yanchen immediately became angry, "Do as you please! You think I really want to walk with you, but I'm just afraid that you will trouble Master, and you don't want to see how fast you can walk with those small steps, you Do you think Master will have time to accompany you for a stroll?"

Hearing this, Chanrong said unhurriedly: "I have."

He turned his head and said to Fu Yanchen, "You are busy with your own affairs. Don't worry about Ruoqing's affairs."

This... Ruo Qing paused, with a bitter face, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

Chanrong What does this mean?Did she not want him to bother Fu Yanchen, or was she tactfully reminding Fu Yanchen not to be too close to him.

For a moment Ruoqing's mood became very depressed, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but within a day, both Chanrong and Fu Yanshen were gently reminding him to pay attention to the distance between them.Even if he didn't want to think too much, he still began to feel that Fu Yanchen and Chanrong were both like the original book, and began to misunderstand each other because of him, and began to be jealous of him...

In order to prevent the two from becoming more and more tense, Ruoqing decided to keep a proper distance from them after leaving the Lin residence.But to be honest, today's Chanrong and Fu Yanchen both left him a little speechless.

Both of them cared about being close to him, but they didn't think there was a problem with being close to him.Could it be that in the eyes of these two people, he is his male buddy and eunuch, and the other party's cross-border friend and concubine?

Is it possible that when they look at him from their own perspective, they feel that he is an untouchable rock, and when they see him beside each other, they feel that he is an indecent cannon fodder who needs to be on guard against each other?

I really don't understand.

Ruoqing was also a little annoyed.

It's just that he doesn't want to talk about what's on his mind, so he doesn't mention it or reveal it.

But when he went out with Chanrong, he talked a lot less.

Leaving the Lin family, they came to the familiar street in two confused times.

The street scene on the street remains unchanged, and the feeling of dislocation will make people very confused, not knowing which time and space they are in.

Ruoqing stepped on the stone steps and walked down step by step. Because of the task just now, his complexion has improved a lot, and there is no sign of discomfort or weakness.Chanrong observed his expression, and when he didn't look at her, he reached out his hand when he walked quickly to the stone steps below, grabbed his neck from behind, and kept him where he was.

Being pinched by Chanrong, Ruoqing reflexively wanted to break free.He tried to look back, but he couldn't.

Not long after, he heard Chanrong asking him from behind him: "I asked you to come out with me, instead of staying with Yan Chen where you are, why are you so reluctant?"

Where and where is this?

Ruoqing knew that Chanrong had misunderstood, sighed helplessly, and said, "I didn't, I was just thinking about what we should do next."

But Chanrong didn't believe him, he acted a little indifferent, he just rubbed Ruoqing's skin on the side of his neck with his thumb, and suddenly asked Ruoqing: "Why are you so nice to Yan Chen?"

The author has something to say:

Ruoqing: so annoying

Chanrong: I hate you like a stone
