The woman's voice rang softly in Xuntang's ears, and then all the baby spirits disappeared, and the ground reappeared.

Xuntang stood quietly on the shallow water, and the rest of the people who couldn't swim to the shore also stood up instantly.

Xuntang looked at the direction in which the woman disappeared, who did she hope to save?And why are these vain souls so clean and pure?

And this cleanliness is also the real reason for their group to feel at ease at first.

Everyone looked around suspiciously, and then quickly went ashore.

After landing on the shore, Wen Ge, who had choked several times, resolutely fell on the shore, not wanting to move even if there were stones behind him.

"It's really exciting. I didn't expect that we would be given such a big surprise when we first arrived."

Yin Xiaoyu twisted the water from the hem of his clothes, "Take a rest before leaving, this place is not safe, we can't stay too long."

Hearing this, everyone except Xuntang sat down and calmed down.

Probably, Xuntang and Wang Deping were the only two people who did not choke on water.

After resting for a while to recover their physical strength, everyone stood up and walked towards the town. It was really not safe outside the town.

The movement of several people walking alerted the dog guarding the door of the furthest family, and the frightening barking pierced the tranquility of the town.

The lights in the room were turned on, and there were two coughs, and the master reprimanded: "Be quiet."

But he heard dogs barking non-stop. An old man put on his hood and pushed open the door, and saw several people outside.

After seeing the clothes of several people clearly, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Several of you are strangers from Fatian Bureau, right? I didn't expect you to arrive at night."

As he said that, the old man coughed twice and continued: "I am the mayor of the town, and I have nothing to prepare now, it's so late, why don't I guide you to a resting place first, and I will talk about everything tomorrow morning. "

Several people just wanted to take a shower and change out of their wet clothes, and they agreed.

The mayor went home to add some clothes, and led the eight people to a small yard that looked nice. He took out the needed clothes and quilts from a locked hut, and told them the layout of the small yard. Slowly went back.

The layout of the small yard is simple, the kitchen and several rooms, there are exactly six rooms, one for the sisters, one for the young couple, and the rest are alone.

Because of the thrill at night, several people went to rest after boiling water and changing their clothes.

Xuntang woke up early, but the rest did not wake up.

Xuntang took out a candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth. When he walked out the door, he met a child playing with mud.

The child heard the voice and looked over, and saw Xuntang eating candy, his eyes showed obvious desire, but he didn't ask for it.

Xuntang waved to him, and the little boy immediately dropped the mud in his hands, wiped his hands clean and walked over.

Xuntang handed him a piece of candy, and the child immediately put it in his mouth. The sweet taste made the child squint his eyes.

The child raised his head and asked innocently:
"Sister, are you here to investigate the case in our town? Don't you need to die in the future?"

Xuntang was surprised that such a young child actually knew why they came here, she said:

"We're here to find out, but there's no guarantee that no one will die from now on."

Then, Xuntang pointed to the door behind her, indicating that she lived in this small courtyard.

The child nodded: "My name is Xiaohu, and I live next to the house you have been assigned to. There are always people from outside the town living in this house."

People from outside the town?Had anyone else been here before?

Xuntang asked: "Then what are they doing here?"

Xiaohu held the remaining candy in his hand and replied without hesitation: "Some came to buy puppets, some came to investigate cases, but they left soon."

Xiaohu invited again: "Would you like to come to my house to play?"

Obviously, he was still young and didn't understand the difference between the two, just repeating what he heard.

In order to get more information, Xuntang agreed without hesitation.

As Xiaohu entered the door, he saw Xiaohu's mother approaching enthusiastically: "It's my lord, have you had your breakfast yet, my lord? Come and have an egg."

As he spoke, he handed Xuntang a hot egg without any explanation.

The little tiger mother looked sad: "I hope the adults can solve the situation in the town this time. Many people have died in our town."

Xuntang asked: "Are people killed by puppets?"

The little tiger mother pulled up a strand of hair that was hanging down, and said: "As long as you invite the mountain ghost, you will be safe."

Xuntang asked again: "What is inviting mountain ghosts?"

The little tiger lady just brought out another plate of rice cakes and handed it to Xuntang, smiled softly, and said nothing.

This strange attitude aroused Xuntang's curiosity, but looking at Xiaohu's mother, it was obvious that he would not say anything more.

Xiaohu didn't understand these things, so he pulled her to play with him, and when he saw that she was not moving, he beckoned Xuntang to walk in, but Xuntang, who was walking a little slower, clearly heard the little tiger's mother sigh and say:

"What a pretty girl, it's good to be a girl from the outside world!"

The doubt that flashed in Xuntang's heart, patriarchal?

However, Xuntang felt that it was not as simple as patriarchy, so he didn't know what was hidden behind it.

Xiaohu's room is at the back, not very big, but the most conspicuous thing is a puppet placed a little higher.

An exquisite puppet that obviously doesn't fit in with Xiaohu's gray room. The puppet's face is made of ceramics. Its dark pupils are looking straight ahead. Two bright red dots are dotted on its round face, and its expression is extraordinarily lively. lifelike.

However, the clothes he was wearing were brightly colored and made of silk, which obviously shouldn't appear in Xiaohu's home, as it was too expensive.

You must know that the time in the scene is the ancient times more than 1000 years ago from the modern society, the era of imperial power and distinct classes.

Seeing that Xuntang was staring at the puppet, Xiaohu introduced:
"This is my older sister, but I'm the only one at home who calls her older sister. My parents call her Xiaojuan. I don't understand why I want to call a puppet my older sister. Obviously Maverick's older sister is a beautiful older sister."

Xuntang didn't answer Xiaohu's little annoyance, but just stared at the puppet with a lively expression like a real person, and then quickly looked away.

Perhaps, it was really his sister.

And this name is the same as the name called by the woman last night, I don't know if it is the same.

"Hey! I really want my sister. I am the only one in the family. There are several brothers and sisters in other families. There is no helper when I go out to fight."

Xiaohu was still complaining, then he picked out one of the rice cakes that Xuntang put on the table, and stuffed his mouth full.

Xuntang asked: "This puppet seems to be alive, are all the puppets here so alive?"

Xiaohu was in a hurry to speak, sobbing but was choked by the dry rice cake.

Xuntang handed him a glass of water, Xiaohu hurriedly took it and poured it down, let out a long cry.

"I almost choked to death on rice cakes. We are most famous for making puppets. Outsiders will come to us to order puppets."
