Before Chang An's body could be put into the coffin, it was only covered with a simple linen cloth and covered with a thin wooden board.The whole family gathered around, sobbing and weeping bitterly.

But Shao Mobai took a closer look, and found that in the mourning hall, there were still a few wandering little ghosts jumping on Chang An's body, sucking his energy that hadn't dissipated.

Furious, he took out the yin-yang glazed fan in his arms, opened it with a snap, and the 24 fan blades connected one by one, suddenly gathered a pool of bright light, illuminating the dark mourning hall brightly.

"Go back to where you should go!"

He chanted a spell, twirled the fan in his palm, and swung it vigorously towards the little devils.There was only a whirring sound, and a gust of wind whizzed past, lifting a corner of the linen cloth, but still covering Chang'an tightly.

In an instant, the little ghost fled in all directions, and the seemingly absent "whimpering sound" in the mourning hall finally dispersed with the wind.

"Master, take a look at our Chang'an..."

Seeing this scene, Chang'an's mother felt that Shao Mobai had some magical powers, so she knelt down in front of him and begged with a voice like crushed autumn leaves.

"A good child, just gone..."

There are five brothers and sisters in Chang'an's family, and he is the third.My father has been sick all year round, and the medicines and stones are constantly being used. My mother has no skills, and earns money by washing clothes for others.Even the children had no money to learn crafts, so they started running around at a young age, earning some money to subsidize their families.

Shao Mobai thought of the bunch of plums with red leaves, and felt very bored. When he met yesterday, Chang An smiled brightly, and now he feels so heavy in his heart.

"Changan is very obedient."

The woman, with disheveled hair and disheveled hair, wiped her tears and choked up her statement.She went to the yamen to make a fuss this morning, but as usual, once this happened, the yamen couldn't do anything about it.The people went to the magistrate to cry, and the magistrate reported to the capital to cry, and the emperor appointed some Taoist priest to do it, and it was over.I always thought that the Taoist priest who came had boundless magic power and would be able to subdue the ghosts. After less than two days of peace, the murder case came out again as soon as the Taoist priest left.

In fact, the woman didn't believe in Shao Zhenbai much, but now there was a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of possibility to avenge his son, she would try it.After all, such a great grief, no matter how big the heart is, it cannot contain it.

"Children in ordinary families are playful and not motivated. Chang'an is different from them. He is smart and capable. He also helps me wash my clothes after work every day. He thinks that if he does more, I can spend less. Do something... In the past, he always wanted to learn from the carpenter. He said, mother, the carpenter makes money. When I make money, you don’t have to wash clothes for others. But our family, the surplus I spent all my money to buy medicine for his father, and his elder brother is getting married recently, so how can I have enough money to give him a teacher? So, this matter was put on hold later. How could it be like this... early I know, so I lent him money to be a teacher, and told him not to run around outside, and he wouldn't mess with those unclean things..."

The more the woman talked, the more she felt that she owed the child. She felt sad for a while, and the tears she had finally suppressed burst out again, and she was helped by her children to rest in the back room.

Born in such a family, the child in the middle is undoubtedly the most miserable.The clothes that the boss can't wear are given to the second child, and the second child is passed on to the third child, one by one.If there is a child in the family who has been wronged, the fifth child will be coaxed by the fourth child, and the fourth child will be coaxed by the third child, and they will go up one by one.Therefore, in the position of Chang'an, I have no new clothes to wear, and I have to help take care of my younger siblings.

The woman kept saying that Chang'an was very sensible and considerate, and Shao Mobai understood the heart of a mother, but these words were of no help to him in finding the ghost, figuring out why Chang'an was killed, or even capturing the ghost later.

It might be cruel to ask someone who has just lost a loved one.But Chang'an's bones were still cold, and the ghost was unharmed and even looking for the next victim, how could he sit idly by?

The second thing he looked for was Chang'an's eldest brother, thinking that a man would not shed tears easily, so he should be stronger.

Chang'an's eldest brother works as a waiter in a restaurant, earning not much money.I recently talked about marriage with the girl next door, the dowry has been paid, and we are going to get married.

"Chang'an is very smart. My mother loves him very much. I always thought he would become a carpenter. The family didn't have money for him to learn from a teacher, so he didn't give up. That carpenter is very famous in our county, and he is especially good at making fans. Carved, girls like it very much...Changan found a carpenter and told him that the fan must look good and smell good. The carpenter thought what he said was very reasonable, so he asked Changan every day Help him cut camphor trees in the mountains outside the city... After that, the carpenter's business has improved a lot, because they sell 'incense fans', and the price is more expensive than before. The carpenter thinks that Chang'an is a piece of material I also taught him some work. He made a small fan two days ago and it was almost ready to be sold. I also told him that if he learned this skill, I would lend him money to make a fan. Stall, settle down. Originally...he had a chance to be a carpenter, who knew... who knew..."

The seven-foot-tall man choked up, his throat rolled, and did not continue.

But all of this made Shao Mengbai feel very strange.When he saw Chang'an yesterday, he clearly sold flowers on the street. This morning, he heard those strong men talking about "Chang'an, which sells pears in winter and flowers in spring". Why did his mother and elder brother only talk about carpenters, but only for others No word?

He must pay a visit to this carpenter, but he has to mention the flower sale.

So he asked tactfully: "In normal times, does Chang'an have any other ways to make money?"

"He...will sell some flowers and plants." The man twitched the corners of his mouth, as if reluctant to mention it, "but...that won't make much money, my father said he Many times, he didn't listen..."

Can't make money?

Shao Mobai vaguely recalled that Chang'an said yesterday, "When I have collected enough money, I will marry her."Obviously, there is a reason and a plan for selling flowers in Chang'an.And the reason is very simple and pure, just to save money and get married.Although the income is small, it is a number anyway, and the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot, and there is always time to make up enough.

It seems that his family members should know about the existence of this "her", but... look at their expressions, they would rather not know.

What's going on?

"Why did your father stop it? Because it will delay learning the craft?"

"No... He always cuts camphor trees and picks flowers, puts them in the water, and sells them after learning from the carpenter." When the man said this, his heart seemed to be entangled a lot. With distracting thoughts, I was very anxious for a while, "He came back from selling flowers last night. He was very happy at first, but then he quarreled with Dad for some reason. Dad is also short-tempered, and fell ill all of a sudden. After that... ...I, I didn't listen anymore, anyway, the two of them often quarrel, and we are all used to it."

"Arguing? Didn't Master Lingtang say that Chang'an is very sensible? Why do they quarrel?"

Speaking of this, the man's eyes flickered obviously, and he said: "Every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures, and if they quarrel, there are only those reasons."

He paused, as if he was afraid that Shao Mobai would continue to ask, so he simply interrupted before he could speak: "Master, don't ask these questions, it's our family business... well, it's really inconvenient for me to say. "

Is it convenient to say?

So there is an ulterior secret?

Shao Mobai thought for a moment, thinking that the funeral had not been finished yet, and Taoist priests had not been invited, so he did not continue to ask.I plan to put on a nondescript smile and ask the neighbors in the neighborhood, maybe they will be willing to talk about it.

"Brother has something to hide, and I don't want to force it, so—hey!"

He made very clever calculations, and just as he was getting up to be courteous, Duan Wuji behind him rushed out.

"—You'd better do it honestly, otherwise, don't blame my whip for being merciless!"
