With the end of the rural examination, Dongping County has returned to its former tranquility.
During this time, it was rare for the yamen to be a little quiet.
"It's majestic when you come, but it's sparse when you go. When you come, you ride in a car, when you go, you ride on the wind. When you come, there's a clang, but when you go, it's empty. When you come..."
Early in the morning, the little goat sang happily.
Wang Erhu heard this and asked him: "What are you singing?"
The little goat said: "This is called the 'Come and Go Song'! Come and go, come and go; those who go don't come, and those who come don't go."
Wang Erhu then followed his tune and sang: "If it doesn't make sense, don't play if it makes sense; if it makes sense, play it all."
The little goat asked: "What to put in?"
Wang Erhu said: "Bullshit! This is called a bullshit song."
The little goat said with a straight face: "You don't need to stink at me! Someone asked me to sing before, but I was too lazy to sing."
Wang Erhu nodded and said, "I know who those people are."
The little goat blinked and said, "Who is he?"
Wang Erhu said: "Deaf man."
…
Taking advantage of the yamen's free time, Yan Qi asked Li Mobai for two days' leave.
The streets at night are sparsely populated.
More deserted!
Yan Qi lit three pillars of incense and bowed three times to the memorial tablet of his adoptive father.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Qi walked to the door and asked, "Who?"
"Miss Qi, it's me, why am I blind!"
An old voice sounded outside the door.
Yan Qi opened the door and saw a wrinkled old man with sunken eyes through the candlelight.
There was even an indescribable smell on him - the smell of corpses.
He Xiazi is the new night watchman of Yizhuang since his adoptive father died.
Although this job is unlucky, many widowers still rush to do it because the wages are high enough to support their families.
"Uncle He, what's wrong?"
Blind He said: "A man with a southern accent came to Yizhuang, bringing a corpse with him!"
Yan Qi understood what was going on, so he said: "It's just a passerby, don't worry about him!"
"Is that the corpse chaser?"
Blind He was a little scared.
Although he couldn't see it, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be afraid if he could see it.
The blind man and the bright man, as long as they are human beings, are afraid of ghosts!
Yan Qi looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking, so he said, "I won't offend anyone if they don't offend me. You don't need to pay attention to him. He won't do anything to you!"
"No, he said there are resentful spirits in the village, one big and one small. He said they were killed by evil spirits and their resentment persists. Although I don't believe it, I still feel scared!"
Blind He knocked on his bamboo pole and said.
"Since you are afraid, then I will keep vigil tonight." Yan Qi said.
When Blind He heard this, he realized that his goal had been achieved, so he said some good words and left.
Yan Qi came to Yizhuang. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the Nandi man sitting on the ground eating dry biscuits.
She said nothing, put out the lantern and walked in.
There was a stiff "person" standing behind the Southlander!
To be precise, that shouldn't be called a "person"!
It seems more appropriate to call it "walking corpse"!
"The blind man was scared away?" The Southlander said with a very strong accent.
Yan Qi turned on the oil lamp in the Yi Village and said, "You have nothing to talk about!"
The Southlander looked at her and said, "I'm just kindly reminding you! That evil spirit will never stop his evil deeds!"
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Yan Qi happened to see something behind the Nandi man. The "walking corpse" had a livid face, and only the whites of his eyes were open.
The Southlander immediately covered the corpse's face and began to recite his incantation.
There are several coffins placed in the yizhuang.
But now only one coffin has something in it.
This coffin contained Xie Ping, the female corpse fished out before the provincial examination.
After the county government has completed the autopsy, as long as it is believed that the body was not murdered, it will be sent to Yizhuang.
This woman showed no signs of struggle and died by jumping into the river by herself.
But what this southerner said was quite right, one corpse and two lives!
But the person who killed them was not him, so Yan Qi was not afraid at all.
"Why do you say it was evil spirits who killed them?".
The Southlander pointed to the woman's coffin and said, "They told me!"
Yan Qi ignored him, sat on the stool and slowly closed her eyes.
When Yan Qi woke up early the next morning, the Nandi man had already left with his "walking corpse".
Yan Qi was already sweating profusely!
She had a nightmare!
But when I woke up I forgot everything!
She believes that no matter whether he is an evil ghost or not, the truth will come out one day!
