[Seven-Five + Liaozhai] Catching ghosts to see the mood

No matter how hard the donkey runs, I won't be able to reach the next town before the sun goes down, which means I have to drive at night again today.

You know, I am most afraid of driving at night.

It's not that I'm afraid of ghosts and ghosts, I'm afraid of people.

The human heart is sinister, who knows what kind of heart is under this skin, and the bad guys didn't write the words that he is a bad guy on their faces.

If something unexpected happened, the donkey would end up in two ways, one would be dragged back to grind flour, and the other would be slaughtered and eaten.

But I am different, there are many possibilities, which scares me a lot.

In order to go faster, I can only resort to tricks.

Under the terrified eyes of the donkey, I called out the ghost-faced flatbed truck, and now I can only rely on this big guy.

The ghost face on the wheel was huge and scary, so frightened that the donkey blew up at that time, screaming and about to run to the side, but I grabbed the rein tightly to pull it back again.This guy has eaten too much, I almost didn't pull it.

After driving the donkey onto the ghost-faced flatbed cart, I waved the wheels and drove towards the town. This time, I set the direction ahead of time, and I would never make a mistake again.

The ghost face wheel rolled, it was really fast, much faster than the donkey running desperately, which made the donkey tied to the flatbed cart look at me with resentful eyes.

"Even if you look at me like that, I don't feel guilty at all."

"Aw! Aw!"

Perhaps dissatisfied with what I said, the donkey stomped and barked twice, but the speed of the flatbed cart was so fast that it didn't dare to make too much movement for fear of falling down.

Before, I was worried that people would be scared when they saw this ghost face, but now I'm just worrying about it.

The speed of the flatbed truck was very fast, and by the time the pedestrians on the road noticed it, we had already rolled out a long way.

"Donkey, I suddenly realized that you are not of much use."

Turning my head to look at the donkey behind me, I found that this guy had turned from resentment to looking at me pitifully, as if he was afraid that I would drop him.

"I heard that donkey-hide gelatin is good."

"Excited!"

I think I am also quite scary, being so harsh on my donkey, and even threatening to eat it.If it weren't for the flatbed car running too fast, this guy would probably jump out of the car in fright.

I patted the big head of the donkey, and I told it that it was just a joke, so that it should not be afraid.

Next, we have to drive seriously. On this official road with few people, I have to be vigilant at all times. If I am not careful, I will encounter ghosts hitting the wall.

After the unremitting efforts of the ghost-faced flatbed, we finally arrived in the town before the curfew. For some reason, the moment I stepped into this town, I felt uncomfortable, and there was also this filth in the air. Mixed with a faint resentment.

Compared with the previous Anping Town, this place looks a little lifeless. After the curfew, there is not even a single person on the street, and even the lights at home are dim, which makes me a little strange.

I finally found an inn, and the inn was about to close, so it was a good idea to let me live in with a donkey.

"Guest officer, I have agreed, don't walk outside casually after nightfall, you will die."

When he said this, the shop waiter had a very serious expression on his face, and it didn't look like he was joking, which made me even more curious.

But I also knew the market, so I took out a piece of broken silver from my pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the waiter, "Brother, can you tell me what's going on?"

Weighed the piece of silver for a while, and seemed to think it was worth it, so we chatted with me, "Guest officer, you just came to Wushan Town, so you don't know anything about it. We have a Wu family here, which is a big family. There is a The eldest lady who has not left the cabinet..."

After hearing what this little brother said, I understood what was going on.

This Miss Wu family has reached the age of Ji but has not left the cabinet. It stands to reason that the Wu family is so rich that there should be an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage, but no one proposes marriage. People like it, so no one wants it.

Seeing that the girl was getting older and couldn't just stay at home, the Wu family thought that it would be okay to marry a son-in-law, after all, it was just this girl, and they were not willing to let her go out and suffer.

The conditions offered by the Wu family were very attractive, so someone came to the door and offered to marry, but who would have thought that on the night of the wedding, this person took the money and ran away, leaving Miss Wu family alone.

Abandoned on the wedding night, the girl was ridiculed by the world, so she hanged herself and wiped her neck to death.

"Oh! Why is this girl so hard to think about it? She is in such a beautiful age, she can go out for a walk."

I feel a little pity when I hear this, but everyone has their own destiny, and I can't change anything.

"Hey, that's true. After Miss Wu's suicide, as long as there are people who appear on the street at night, men will have their eyes gouged out and women will be shaved. They all say it belongs to Miss Wu's family. The spirits of the dead come out to cause trouble."

When I heard this, I really felt a chill behind my back, but as a person who exorcises demons and ghosts, I am definitely not afraid of such things.

So I threw another piece of silver to Xiao Er, showing that I was very generous: "I want to stay here for a few nights, and prepare a bucket of hot water for me every night for these few days."

"Alright! I'll boil water for you right now!"

Although I am more interested in what happened in Wushan Town, I still plan to relieve my body after riding for a long time.

It is inappropriate to go out rashly at night to look for clues. The most sensible choice now is to have a good night's rest and go to Wu's house tomorrow to have a look.

I took a hot bath with the hot water from Xiaoerduan to relieve my fatigue, then I spread out the contents of the package and put the crossbow for self-defense beside the pillow.

According to what the shop waiter said, as long as he doesn't go out for a stroll in the middle of the night, he will be fine.But just to be on the safe side, I still used a yellow talisman to cast a barrier, just in case.

After everything was ready, I climbed into bed and had a good night's sleep. It was already the next morning when I opened my eyes again.

I quickly got up and washed, I went downstairs to have breakfast, and asked if anyone was killed last night.

"Last night, no one seemed to be killed. We all know that the spirit of the dead specially kills people who walk on the street at night, so generally no one will go out, unless it is the kind of drunk person."

Although this can solve the problem, it is not a long-term solution after all. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not have something urgent to go out at night.

Since I can't make money by fortune-telling, it doesn't mean I can't use catching demons and exorcising ghosts for a third career.

After I had some breakfast, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of my mouth before going to see Wu's house.

It is not difficult to know the Wu family, as long as you find a house that is taboo by others and is still shrouded in black air, it is the Wu family.

After all, the Wu family is a big family in Wushan Town, but now they are neglected, which is really embarrassing.

I heard that Miss Wu's family made a lot of noise when she first went there, so most of the family members escaped, and now only some members of the Wu family's main family are left here.

After standing at the gate and observing for a while, I stepped forward and knocked on the gate.

"Who is..."

After knocking for a long time, I heard an old voice coming from inside, but the old man's voice seemed a little ethereal as it drifted with the wind, which made people tremble with fear.

"Squeak~"

After a long time, the door was slowly opened, and a haggard old man walked out, looking in my direction with some confused eyes, "Girl, why are you knocking on this door?"

"I'm here for Miss Wu's affairs."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's movements became much more agile, and he wanted to close the door quickly.

But I had already guessed that he would do this, so I blocked the door with my hand one step ahead of time, preventing him from closing the door.

"I am the great apprentice of old Mr. Zhang in Nanshan, and please ask the old man to explain to Mr. Wu's family."

Perhaps my attitude was a bit tough, or maybe my identity was deterrent, so the old man didn't say anything more, and invited me in after asking the master of the Wu family for instructions.

"Girl please."

"Thank you."

Carrying my small package, I followed the old man into Wu's house.

Looking at this Wu residence from the outside before, I felt it was a bit grand, and it was even more so when I entered the inside, but now it seems a bit deserted with few people.

Under the leadership of the old man, I went to the main hall and saw the master and wife of the Wu family, but their faces were haggard, and they couldn't tell that they were the kind of arrogant and domineering people that Xiaoer said.

"I heard that this girl is the eldest disciple of Mr. Zhang from Nanshan, but I don't know about the little girl..."

"I can't guarantee this kind of thing, I can only say that I will try it."

At present, I don't know what the fierce ghost transformed by the girl from the Wu family looks like now. If it is really too powerful, I'd better withdraw as soon as possible.

Hearing what I said, the master of the Wu family seems to have seen some hope, as if grasping at the last straw, wishing I could solve this matter now.

His eagerness made me wonder if this Miss Wu family was his own daughter.

Regarding his urgency, Mrs. Wu's family seemed a little calm. She frowned and looked at me with a trace of worry in her eyes. After thinking about it again and again, she said to me: "Girl, you don't know. How many years have passed before you?" All the eminent monks who attained the Tao died at the hands of the little girl, and the death was tragic."

"..."

Should I withdraw?
