Chapter 167 Why Are You Not Afraid Of Ghosts?

Shen Liuzhen sat up, shook his sleeves, looked at the box containing the human head with obvious disgust, and obviously didn't sleep well.

But he is lazy, and when he becomes lazy, he can bear anything.

Liu Qinbing was a little depressed and said, "Were you afraid of ghosts when you were young? I remember that when Xie's family ancestral hall held funerals, you were so scared that you were paranoid every day, and you didn't let go of Xie Yuan..."

When Liu Qinbing said this, he suddenly thought of something, looked back at him in surprise, and said:

"You're not pretending, are you?"

Shen Liuzhen sat cross-legged, propped his arms on his chin, and said helplessly:
"Brother Liu... Where do you want to go? I'm not so boring. I act everywhere, and I feel tired after acting, okay?"

"Then what's the matter with you?... Now you can sleep with your head on your head. The contrast is too great. You are not afraid that Zong Ai's soul will catch you in your dreams." Liu Qinbing was bored on the road and deliberately teased him.

Shen Liuzhen said: "When I was young, I read too many ghost stories. In those stories, the ghosts who died unjustly will take revenge and sue the King of Hades... I read too much, and I feel a little dazed. There are ghosts."

Liu Qinbing said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. The old people say that people will have dreams when they die. I have heard all kinds of weird things. Those are not made-up stories. There may be ghosts in this world. "

Shen Liuzhen's face was a little dark, he raised his eyes to look at the back of Liu Qinbing's head, and said:

"There is a ghost, but you killed the person. If Zong Ai has a soul to settle the score, it must be looking for you!"

Liu Qinbing heard Shen Liuzhen's embarrassment, and smiled even more heartily, even the fatigue of the journey disappeared a lot.

He didn't look back, and while swinging the pole of the horse leisurely, he said:

"Why are you looking for me? You gave the order. You are the one who owes the debt to you. Think about how he was before he died. You didn't understand why you killed him. It must be a bad guy." Unjust dead ghosts who are willing to drink Mengpo soup..."

He didn't give up after saying this, turned half of his body, looked at Shen Liuzhen in the carriage and said:

"Hey... why don't you lift the lid and take a look, maybe Zong Ai is staring at you with his eyes open right now?"

When Shen Liuzhen heard about it, he changed his arm to support his head, and the Confucian scholar's sleeves were moving freely, showing no fear at all.

He looked at the box containing the human head in front of him. The outside of the box was painted with red paint, which was as bright as new, like pig's blood.

He asked lazily:

"You know why I'm not afraid of ghosts now?"

Liu Qinbing gave a "hmm" and asked, "Why?"

Shen Liuzhen sneered, and said: "Perhaps, there are ghosts in this world, but they have lived so long. I have never seen ghosts hurting people, but I often see people's hearts are unpredictable, and they fight endlessly. So now I am not afraid of ghosts, only people."

He put his eyes on the red square box again, raised his chin a little arrogantly, and said:
"When he was alive, I was careful everywhere. I was afraid that a wrong look in my eyes would cause trouble. Now that he is dead, it doesn't matter if there are ghosts haunting me. I can't bear me any more..."

Seeing Liu Qinbing look back at him in surprise, Shen Liuzhen said casually:

"You don't understand my mood. He killed the crown prince Shi Yu innocently, and killed the emperor Shi Yu Fuli. I hate him so much. How long have I endured it, and I carefully accompany him with a smile every day."

He sighed, as if recalling the hard work of acting in the past six months, he said with emotion:

"I thought he had already died in the capital, but it seems that God has pity on me... let him fall into my hands again, and die in my hands again, and finally paid for the pain I had before.

Now that his head is placed in front of my eyes, I feel relieved when I take another look at it...a worry is finally settled, and I don't need to be troubled to continue acting, how easy it is..."

Liu Qinbing shook his head and said: "...I can't even say it. You feel at ease now, don't you feel that your nose is not comfortable? It's just autumn, and it's not cold enough. This good guy stinks. Turn around When we arrive in Beijing, it’s time for maggots to grow.”

Shen Liuzhen also became distressed, stared at the box and said nothing.

Liu Qinbing said directly: "No, let's find a place to bury him after seeing enough. Anyway, everyone thinks he died early, so it doesn't make much sense to go back with his head."

But Shen Liuzhen straightened his face, and said solemnly: "No!... If he can run out, it proves how many moths there are in the court? If Ulei is not allowed to see it with his own eyes, he won't know how serious it is. I'm afraid he won't be able to make up his mind to rectify it. Chao Gang... this head is a wake-up call, very important."

Liu Qinbing turned his head to look at Shen Liuzhen again, and said helplessly:

"Why don't you take another horse and hang it outside? After a long time, we both smell like dead bodies. It's not easy to get rid of this smell, and it won't go away for a long time!"

Shen Liuzhen added: "I don't have an official position now, and I don't even have a token that I can take out. I only have a guide, my boy, if this is tied to the outside, I will swagger through the city along the way... We can't pass two cities. , it is estimated that someone will have to be arrested and locked in a cell."

Liu Qinbing said anxiously: "Then what do you say? It won't work if it goes on like this. If you put it in the car, the stench will waft out, so you will be interrogated as usual."

Shen Liuzhen put his hands in his sleeves, leaned against the carriage, looked at the box and thought for a while, then suddenly said:

"I have a solution. When I get to the next city, I will buy a bigger box, put this box in another layer, fill the gap with soil, and cover it tightly with a cloth. I don't believe it still smells." "

Liu Qinbing had no choice but to shake the horse pole again, drove the carriage a little faster, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shen Liuzhen hurriedly supported the carriage wall with both hands. The fast-moving carriage was very bumpy, and even the flesh on his cheeks trembled. He looked at Liu Qinbing's back with dissatisfaction, and couldn't say anything more.

……

……

Xie Yuan's reserve battalion finally arrived at the scheduled station. She immediately packed her things and returned to her battalion immediately.

As soon as he entered the gate of the camp, he was surrounded by the "God of Wealth" and the idiots. The "God of Wealth" smiled and booed:

"Hey, the lieutenant came back from home?! I heard that your family has already set you up as a baby girl, have you seen it this time?"

Xie Yuan got off the horse neatly, afraid in his heart that they would not know how to measure and ran up to pick up her burden, so he said in a cold voice, "I see."

The stunned man smiled obscenely, and asked, "Then is your daughter-in-law good-looking?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and recalled in his mind the moment when Shen Liuzhen opened the curtain and came in when they first met, the shock to her was that although she was not a little daughter-in-law, she was indeed pretty.

So he said coldly: "It looks good."
