=====================

After Ye Mu left Baicaotang, he drove directly to the buckwheat field.After going back and forth all this time, when he saw the sea of ​​buckwheat flowers again, the moon rabbit was hanging high and the night was deep.

The thatched shed where the accident happened during the day stands by the field, the tables and chairs in the shed are still messy and overturned when they left, and the silver that he put on the bottom of the bucket when he left is still there, obviously the owner has never returned Pass.After visiting, Ye Mu didn't go to the field to check again, but put away the wind and walked down the official road.Follow the path in the field to the nearest village shown on the map.

During the day, the villager was frightened and wondered if he had said anything after returning.Baicao Hall will probably send disciples here to check soon, and there is no guarantee that the two sides will not meet.Just in case, it is still necessary to do some countermeasures in advance.Take this opportunity to investigate further and see if there is anything missing.By the way, I am here to wait for those Baicaotang disciples to come and see if they can find anything.

The sea of ​​flowers in the night is extremely quiet, the fresh snow-like flowers are not obvious in the dark night, but the surging fragrance of flowers still lingers around people.Just looking at the surface, no one would have imagined that in such a beautiful place, there would be a demonic energy brewing that would turn people's faces into disbelief.

Buckwheat clustered on both sides of the path to form a natural fence. As we walked, the protruding branches and leaves swept over the cloak from time to time, soaked in the dew at night, as if they were also infected with the fragrance of flowers.Ye Mu looked at the map, and there was no change in the light spots of the people above, only the light spots of Wenzhuang left Baicao Hall and came towards this direction, but it seemed that it would take a while to arrive.

If the person from Baicaotang is Wen Zhuang, it is more convenient than other people to talk.Ye Mu turned off the map.

He walked out of the buckwheat field, and he happened to be on a low hillside.The path winds and stretches from the foot, and in the darkness ahead, a small village sleeps.

Concentrating his breath, he walked towards the village.

In the small courtyard of the village, several lying down dogs raised their heads vigilantly, moved their ears, found nothing unusual, and lay down to sleep again.

At this time, everyone in the village had already blown the lanterns to rest, and even some "amateur activities" had already come to an end, so Ye Mu avoided some embarrassment.He walked around the village and locked his target on the only house that was still ringing.

The courtyard door was closed, and the door was firmly bolted from the inside. The villagers and their couples were sleeping on the bed. The woman was already asleep and snoring. The man who usually fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow was tossing and turning, unable to close his eyes.

As soon as I close my eyes, I will recall the inhuman eyes I saw when I was attacked during the day.It was like becoming a prey and being thrown down by a ferocious beast. The premonition of death made people unable to move, and almost had the illusion that their throat had been torn by sharp teeth.

He even crawled back and ran back, but he didn't dare to say anything when asked by his mother-in-law, for fear that the matter would spread and the evil star would come to his door.He just shook his head blindly, saying that there were bad customers fighting in the sweet water shop, and he was almost affected.Although he was fooled, but he frightenedly dragged the mother-in-law not to let her go out, hid in the house and quietly listened to the movement outside, for fear that the crazy doormen of the Seven Killing Palace would come after them after eating their companions.Seeing his appearance like this, coupled with his bloody body, the always aggressive woman was really frightening, but it was rare for her to be obedient, and the two of them sat in the room anxiously for a whole day.It wasn't until dark that I felt a little relieved, blowing on the lamp to rest.The mother-in-law was talking about going to the thatched shed early in the morning to see the situation. Those people fought without knowing who they were, and they didn't know how much they lost. After a while, their voices faded away and they started snoring.But he couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open, and he always talked badly when he disliked his wife, but now he wished she would say more, so that he wouldn't panic by thinking about it alone.

Just then, he heard an unhurried knock on the door.

He knocked on the barred door, knocked, knocked, knocked three times, so frightened that he shuddered, sat up suddenly, and stared at the door with wide eyes, as if it had suddenly become Like a monster.

Then he heard a male voice outside the door asking: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

A creepy sense of terror ran down his spine.The villagers recognized that it was the voice of the companion of the mad man during the day. This is... a ghost knocking on the door?Is the Palace of Seven Kills really so evil that even after death, they will turn into ghosts and come to claim their lives?

He closed his mouth tightly, covered the mouth of the woman who was still snoring happily with trembling hands, and forcefully suppressed the snoring sound.The mother-in-law woke up with a start, and struggled in a daze. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and desperately pressed down to signal the mother-in-law to be quiet, praying in his heart that no movement could be heard outside the door.Just then the door was knocked again.

Ye Mu stood outside the door, and when he heard the abnormal silence in the room, he knocked on the door and asked again.After a moment of silence in the room, there was a rustling sound, a heavy footstep came towards the door, and with a loud bang, the door was swung open.

A woman with disheveled hair stood inside the door holding a kitchen knife, glared at him, and asked ferociously, "What are you doing?!" The blade shone coldly under the moonlight.

"..."

Ye Mu took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from the kitchen knife, feeling a little puzzled.Are the folk customs in Xiliang so fierce?Although it is not very kind to disturb people's dreams, it should not be to the point where someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night and greets them with a knife... Or, it is what the villager said in the village during the day, which caused the villagers here to panic. Extremely vigilant?

Looking at the woman's expression secretly, he said politely: "I'm really sorry for the late night visit. I would like to ask Madam, do you know who opened the sweet water shop by the field over there? My companion suddenly fell ill today and damaged the shop in the shed. Tables and chairs, but today we have to continue on the road in a hurry and want to pay compensation, but we don’t know where the shed owner’s house lives. So I disturbed the noble house, please forgive me.” Spreading his hands, the money in his hand was thrown in front of her. After lighting up, it was put away immediately.

lie!The man holding the ax behind the door shouted in his heart.

Wanting compensation but waiting until midnight?So many families who are closer to the fields, why come to knock on their doors?He was awake all the time, but he didn't hear the dogs in the village barking at all!On weekdays, if strangers come, they will bark more happily than each other!In a hurry to get on the road...where to go?Huangquan Road?At this time, it seems to be almost midnight.

When I was extremely nervous, I was extremely sensitive to all kinds of abnormalities, and the more I thought about it, the more disturbed I became.He couldn't help shivering again, feeling that there was a gust of wind outside the door blowing through the crack of the door, it was really cold.

Women are not like men who can't turn around if they think about going in the direction of ghosts and ghosts.After hearing what Ye Mu said, she softened her expression.He raised his hand to straighten his hair, and said: "You have found the right person, that shed was opened by my family. Although the place is simple, it was built by us after all, and it cannot withstand your beatings and killings. Since you have the intention , leave the silver.”

Ye Mu said: "It just so happens that I don't know if the brother who took care of the business in the shed during the day is there? At that time, my companion had a sudden illness and described it as horrific. He was frightened, but he is still safe now." Okay?" I don't know if the villager saw the scene of his broken arm, just in case, he hid his left arm in the cloak, covering it tightly.

The man hid behind the door and thought hard, thinking that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe in the next day or so, and he didn't come to hurt his mother-in-law.Hearing this, he gritted his teeth, hid the ax behind his back, walked out from behind the door with his hands behind his back, stopped in front of the woman, and said with a dry smile: "It was a false alarm, nothing happened. You are welcome, young man. "Seeing that the person who was so badly injured at that time was standing at the door like this, looking like a normal person, the conjecture about ghosts in his heart was verified a little bit, and the hand behind his back waved at the woman again and again, telling her to avoid it and run away .

Ye Mu looked at the man a few times, and saw that he didn't know what was hiding behind his arms behind his back. He didn't say anything, but was secretly vigilant in his heart, and on the surface he continued to talk calmly: "It's fine, brother. My companion is seriously ill, and I couldn't get away for a while, so I came to look for it now, it's rude."

"Don't be rude, don't be rude." The man could only try to smile, and he didn't know what he was talking about.A cold sweat broke out, and the night wind blew, making it cool.Seeing that the woman behind her was not moving, she couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart.Normally, she looks sharp and smart, but why is she so ignorant at this critical moment.

Ye Mu handed out the silver taels, and said sincerely: "These silver taels are for compensation. My companion's illness troubled him quite a lot. I don't want others to know about it. I ask you two to keep it a secret. He has a bad temper. If people find out , I have to get angry, and I will have another attack."

The man smiled dryly, nodded in response, and took out a sweaty hand from behind to pick up the silver.

But the woman snatched the money first, held it tightly, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, don't worry, we won't say it." Then she stared at the man and shouted, "Stupid, stay here What are you doing, it’s not intrusive. Delicious and lazy things, I only know to stay at home all day long, my wife is really bad luck for eight lifetimes for marrying you!" The angry scolding in the middle startled the dogs in the village for a while. Call.

Ye Mu withdrew his hand, looking at the weird and tense scene in front of him, the woman was holding the money in one hand, but she was still holding the kitchen knife in the other hand, the back of her hand was tense.Are these two... afraid of him?

Thinking of the bloody scene during the day, Ye Mu suddenly realized that it was no wonder.The purpose of left and right has been achieved, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

After closing the door with trembling hands, the man breathed a sigh of relief and felt his heart beating again.

The woman gave him a sideways look, and said angrily, "You're just a quack, look at your potential!" She quietly hid her trembling hand holding the money.

The man who consciously succeeded in protecting his stupid wife from the ghost, turned his head and was disgusted by this woman, and said depressingly: "You mother, what do you know?"

The two quarreled and went to bed without mentioning it.

Ye Mu left the village, opened the map, and saw the light spot of Wenzhuang lingering in the town.After a little thought, he also steered his horse back to the town.After taking a short nap, he got up early in the morning and just stopped Wenzhuang and Jingtong who were about to set off after a night's rest at the entrance of the town.
