folk legend

Chapter 69
In fact, Xu Peng feels like crying now. You said that the few Xiangtou you were looking for before, Mr. Yin Yang and so on, although things didn’t work out in the end, at least they looked like Xiangtou.

This time it's good, just the two children, whether Mao Changqi or Changqi, both talk about it, so they can catch ghosts like this?Especially that big guy, good guy, he always eats two big bowls of food.It would be no problem to assign work in the dry land, but this is a job for resettlement!Sigh, forget it, let's talk about it wherever we go, first give yourself peace of mind before talking.

The three people in the carriage have their own secrets.At ten o'clock in the morning, I arrived at Xu Peng's house in Yangcaogou.

Just when they reached the gate, Jiang Liu and Dougen jumped out of the car.As soon as Xu Peng drove the carriage into the yard, before the cart was unloaded, the father-in-law and his mother came out of the house, and came around to ask questions.I didn't come back all night, and the family thought something happened.

Seeing that the old man was worried, Xu Peng hurriedly said that he met an acquaintance in the town, and then the acquaintance introduced Mr. Yin and Yang to him, and went to pick up Mr. Yin and Yang by himself, so he came back today.

Seeing that the child came back safely, the two old people finally let go of their hanging hearts.The old man hurriedly asked where the person who picked him up was?Xu Peng was unloading the car, without looking back, he pointed to the outside of the gate and said, "The car just got off at the gate."

When the old lady heard that there were people behind, she hurried to the gate, thinking in her heart that this guest couldn't stay outside all the time when she came to her house.

But the old lady went outside the gate and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.Calling his son outside the gate: "I said Pengzi, who are you talking about? How can there be?"

Xu Peng was stunned by his mother's question, and while coming out of the yard, he said, "You two young people, take a good look at the car that just got off at the gate." As he spoke, he also arrived outside the gate.In the end, I only saw my old mother standing outside the gate, and the two guys didn't even have a shadow.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Peng was a little dumbfounded.I thought to myself, you said those yin and yang gentlemen in the past, Xiangtou, at least made gestures, ate and drank for nothing before leaving.

These two guys are good, maybe they are afraid of revealing their secrets for a while, and they will jump ahead of time (the paddock dialect, meaning to escape) when things are not going well.With a bitter haha, he shook his head.Xu Peng thought to himself, this would be good, and he would save himself a few meals.

So he said to his mother: "Hehe, I guess these two people can't be accommodated, so they left early. Go back, and look for others later." After speaking, Xu Peng turned and went back to the courtyard.

In fact, in the final analysis, Xu Peng still didn't believe these two children.

But where did these two guys go?Anyway, it's definitely not what Xu Peng thought. If that were the case, this article should be over by now.

At this moment, the two of them were walking back and forth on a mound at the west end of Yangcaogou Village.

What's going on?It turned out that after Jiang Liu and Dougen jumped off the carriage, when Jiang Liu turned to look at the gate of Xu Peng's house, he suddenly saw a child standing on the west side of the gate. Bellyband, two upturned pigtails, bare feet.

If it was just this, Jiang Liu didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was someone's child in the village who was playing with it.But as soon as the child saw Jiang Liu, he ran towards the west of the village without saying a word.

Jiang Liu smiled at the time, thinking that he must have been frightened when he saw the appearance of the bean root.Very cute child, but too shy.

As a result, after the child ran out from the shadow of the courtyard wall, Jiang Liu glanced at it, and then chased after him.While chasing, his hand still reached into the bag to take something out.

But before he took out anything, the child had already run a long way. Jiang Liu saw that this was not possible.He flicked Bao's buttocks behind, and chased after him.

Seeing that Jiang Liu didn't even say hello, Dougan ran towards the village.The shrewd guy thought about it, Liu Zi must have seen something, worried that he would suffer, so he hurriedly followed behind and chased after him.

But what Jiang Liu never expected was that, despite the small arms and legs of that child, he ran so fast.He chased him all the way to the west of the village, but didn't catch up.He watched helplessly as the child ran to a mound, then slid down, and he was no longer in sight.

Jiang Liu then chased after the mound, stopped and looked down.The slope of the mound is not very steep, about two meters long.Below the slope is a large flat land. This season, the crops are all cleaned up.On the bare flat land, you can see the distance at a glance, but there is no trace of the child again.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the calls of old ravens. Jiang Liu turned his head and saw that there were a few old elm trees that had lost their leaves not far from him on the mound.

On the top of the bare tree, there were a few old ravens scattered sparsely. It was the old ravens on this tree that called just now.But for some reason, Jiang Liu's heart skipped a beat after hearing these calls from the old raven.

At this time, Dougen also ran over, came to the hill, and stood side by side with Jiang Liu on the mound.Taking advantage of this time, Dougen looked around the place.

But seeing the empty surroundings, Dougen also felt very uncomfortable.Subconsciously, the hand holding the cloth bag clenched twice.

Jiang Liu saw Dougen's small movements and immediately understood, so he quickly smiled and said, "It's embarrassing for us two brothers, we didn't even catch up with a child."

Dougen is such a smart person, coupled with the tacit understanding between the two of them, he naturally knew that Jiang Liu was making fun of himself in order to divert his attention, so that he would not be so nervous.

He smiled, and continued Jiang Liu's words: "What's the matter, we are humans, he is a ghost, if we can catch up with him, we will become gods."

"It would be great if I were really a god, not to mention saving food by eating wind and drinking cigarettes. At the very least, my head can grow longer, and it won't save my mother from always scolding me for being heartless."

"Hehe, I don't think it's worth it. Just like you, even if you become a fairy, you won't be too tall. As the old saying goes, if the land is not good, no matter how good the fertilizer is, it will be a waste."

"Go to your uncle."

"My mother told me that my father is only an elder brother, there is no uncle!"

"There is no uncle, there is a lady."

"I said that there is no uncle, where did the aunt come from? Steal it?"

While the two were chatting and laughing, Jiang Liu had already taken out the compass from his bag.Take off the red cloth cover on the top, pull the sand dividing line, and hold it in the palm of your hand.

Then he walked around the mound, keeping his eyes on the needle on the compass.But what puzzled Jiang Liu was that the needle on the compass didn't move at all, just pointing steadily to the south and north.

"Hey, Dougen, come over and have a look. This place is really evil! Anyone with a heavy cloud can feel it, but why doesn't the compass respond at all?"

Dougen followed Jiang Liu all the time, listening to what he said.He leaned over and glanced at the compass in his hand.Then he said in a very blunt tone: "You let me come over, what can you understand? I don't understand what you are holding in your hand."

Jiang Liu was taken aback by Dougen's words, and turned his head to look at Dougen beside him.What's wrong with this kid?The gun sand mixed with steel wire that I ate in the morning, why do I speak so bluntly?
Just as I was about to speak to him, I suddenly understood, so I hurriedly took out a talisman from my bag, and handed it to Dougen.Said: "Fold it into a triangle, | put it in your coat pocket."

Dougen took the talisman from Jiang Liu's hand in a somewhat numb manner, and when he took the talisman into his own hand, he felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart, and then he was shocked.After stacking the talisman and putting it away, Dougen hurriedly said.

"Liu Zi, I didn't know what was wrong just now, I felt so uncomfortable in my heart, and I felt very annoying when I heard you talking."

"Normally, this place is too cloudy, and no one can stand it. I'm wearing something, so I'm fine. Let's go, we can't see anything here, let's go to Xu Peng's house first."

After speaking, the two of them got off the mound together and walked to Xu Peng's house.While walking, Dougen asked Jiang Liu by the way: "What does the child you mentioned look like?"

"There was a boy who was seven or eight years old, wearing a red bellyband and braids. At first I was mistaken, thinking someone's kid was playing there. When the kid ran under the sun, I saw that there was no shadow, so I went I know it's not human."

When Jiang Liu was talking, he kicked a small stone in front of him away, and he seemed to be still feeling a little annoyed that he didn't catch up with the child just now.

Seeing Jiang Liu's childish look, Dougen smiled and didn't say anything.

Just now, the two of them ran over because they were chasing the child, and they didn't feel how far it was, but when they walked, they realized that the two of them ran a full two miles away.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they returned to the gate of Xu Peng's house. The two of them went straight into the yard without speaking.

In the yard, Xu Peng was picking up the grain that was drying on the ground.Hearing movement at the gate, he hurriedly turned his head to look. After seeing these two people, he put down what he was doing and walked up to them quickly.

"Where did you two go just now? We stood at the gate and watched for a long time, but we didn't see you two. Come in and rest for a while. Mother, someone is here."

Xu Peng invited two people into the room and shouted into the room.

Along the way, Jiang Liu was thinking about what happened on the mound just now, so he was a little absent-minded. After hearing what Xu Peng had said, he just gave a casual grace, and then looked around Xu Peng's yard.

At this time, Old Mrs. Xu came out of the back room after hearing her son calling her.Standing at the door, the two young men were about to ask whose family this child was, when Old Mrs. Xu was suddenly happy.

"Hehe, how did these two children grow up? They are all tall, short, fat and thin. Are you talking about cross talk?"

Jiang Liu also made old Mrs. Xu amused, and said with a chuckle, "Yes, grandma, let us tell you about Zhong Kui catching ghosts later."

Xu Peng who followed hurriedly said: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, these two are the Mr. Yin and Yang I invited. Don't look at your young age, you are quite capable."
