In order to confirm the suspicion in my heart.
Li Suijiu interjected: "The old man said that no one has died in Wujiacun for several years. I wonder how many years ago the last person in the village died?"
"Five years ago." The old man replied firmly.
"How many months in five years exactly?" Li Suijiu asked again.
"Five years and three months." The old man replied.
"Oh, why does the old man remember so clearly?" Li Suijiu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Because..." The old man was about to answer, but suddenly stopped talking, and then replied: "The old man is not old, and I still know how many times people have died in the village."
"Really? I just saw two memorial tablets in the hall. One of them should be your wife, right?"
"um, yes."
"When did your wife die?"
"Is it...huh?!" The old man was speechless again.
"If my guess is correct, he died five years and three months ago, right?" Li Suijiu answered helpfully.
"???" The old man looked confused.
"Haha, it's actually very simple. Although the old man is not very old, he remembers the month of death very clearly. It must be because he keeps thinking about it in his heart. Therefore, I guess the last person to die in the village is your wife. "
"I see, scholars are indeed smart." The old man laughed when he heard this: "Yes, you guessed it right. My wife did die five years and three months ago."
"Okay, I want to go out for a walk, is that okay?"
"Master Xiucai, don't you want to eat?"
"I'll be back in a minute."
"Oh, the scholar must remember that you must not leave the village. Once you leave the village, you will no longer be protected. Then there will be... other ghosts coming to harm people!"
"I understand, thank you, old man." Li Suijiu said no more.
Ji Qingzhu stood up at this time: "Huaijin is not very familiar with Wujia Village. Why don't you let me go out with you for a walk?"
"That's fine." Li Suijiu nodded.
Then, he looked at the black cat: "Cat, please stay here."
"Meow~"
Black Cat shook his head.
"I'll be back in a moment."
"Meow."
Black Cat nodded.
Li Suijiu looked at Zhou You again.
Seeing Zhou You about to speak, he said directly: "Brother Zhou is tired today, so just rest here."
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Zhou You nodded, and then looked at the old man: "Even if this water ghost has not harmed anyone in Wujia Village in the past five years, it does not prove that he will not harm others."
"I told you, the water ghosts in Feiyan Lake don't harm anyone!" The old man started arguing with Zhou You again.
"..."
…
Out the door.
Li Suijiu looked at the purple moon hanging high in the sky.
Under the moonlight of the purple moon, the surface of Feiyan Lake looks a little weirder.
After Ji Qingzhu followed him out, he stretched out a lot. As his chest rose and fell, a pair of phoenix eyes secretly glanced into the room.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Follow me!"
"What does Shopkeeper Ji want to do? Although this is outside the city, if you have ill intentions towards me, I will scream at you!" Li Suijiu immediately stepped back.
"???" Ji Qingzhu.
"Haha, it's just a joke. You can drag me wherever you want." Li Suijiu stretched out his hand.
"..." Ji Qingzhu was speechless.
What kind of big heart can make such a joke at such a time?
Ji Qingzhu thought for a while and replied: "It's just too unfamiliar to hold hands. How about Huaijin touching my small waist?"
"!!!" Li Suijiu.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this woman Ji Qingzhu.
Moreover, the problem is huge! !
Just as he was about to say more, a hand held him and he dived into the darkness.
Hands are very soft...
Not long after, the two came to a house near the entrance of the village.
However, there were no lights on in this room, it was dark inside, and it didn't look like there was anyone there.
"here it is?"
"Shh!"
Ji Qingzhu signaled for silence.
Then he knocked lightly on the door three times, one long and two short.
Finally, there was movement from inside the door: "I have a piece of white cloth and two stacks of yellow paper. How many kilograms of sesame oil do you want, sir?"
"Xiang, open the door!" Ji Qingzhu snorted.
"Crunch!"
The wooden door opens.
Bi Twelve stuck his head out from inside.
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a young man in a green shirt: "Why... Huaijin, why... did you die here?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Ji Qingzhu cursed: "Li Suijiu came to Feiyan Lake to play."
"Huh? What a coincidence?"
"What's even more coincidental is that four of the fourteen people we were traveling with were missing. The group couldn't find them, so they found Wujia Village to stay overnight."
"..." Bi Twelve was silent for a moment, and his expression finally became serious: "Come in and talk."
Li Suijiu and Ji Qingzhu walked in.
However, the room was too dark.
Can't see anything clearly.
He couldn't see clearly how many people were in this small room.
The only thing Li Suijiu was sure of was that there were other people in the house, and there were quite a few of them, because he heard some small noises.
After Ji Qingzhu and Li Suijiu entered the house, they stood still and did not move around. They were obviously afraid of bumping into someone or something.
"Let me introduce to you, Li Suijiu, whose name is Huaijin!" Ji Qingzhu said softly.
"Huh?" A soft eh sounded in the room.
"I won't tell you why Huaijin is here. Let me introduce it to Huaijin." Ji Qingzhu said, "This is the second shopkeeper of our Fushan Hall, 'Duo Fu.'"
So, where is this second shopkeeper of Duo Fu...?
Li Suijiu was a little helpless to complain. Seeing that Ji Qingzhu was about to continue the introduction, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Shopkeeper Ji, why don't we save all these troubles and go straight to the topic."
"All right."
Ji Qingzhu said directly without further introduction: "After I left the city yesterday, I went straight to Feiyan Lake and found traces of Shuimang grass near Wujiacun.
Later, many blessings went into the water and prepared to eradicate the water grass. But at this time, something happened. I won’t go into details.
In short, we realized that the water grass was born because of a ghost. If the ghost cannot be eliminated, the water grass will regenerate.
Therefore, we designed to hunt the ghost, but the ghost was stronger than we imagined, and it was probably close to the ghost king level.
In addition, the ghost is very cunning. After seeing that there were so many of us, he was unwilling to come out again. So we can only look for some traces nearby,
We then found Wujiacun. On the road between Wujiacun and Feiyan Lake, we found some traces of [Ghost Feet], so we decided to keep them here.
Then Huaijin came. "
After Ji Qingzhu finished speaking, he asked again: "Huaijin should also have discovered the problem in Wujia Village, right?"
