Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Haunted Rumors

For a while, everyone in the store was having tea and chatting, and when they talked about Sun Er and Zhang Ping just now, they seemed to be full of meaning. Seeing that Di Renjie had had breakfast, Xiao Er came over to refill the hot tea, cleared away the empty bowls, and listened to the gossip of the guests , from time to time to insert a sentence.Only one person pretended to be mysterious and said: "These two people didn't come out at daybreak, I think they bumped into something evil on the road." The little second mouth quickly replied: "Did you pass Gaojia Village?" Another person said: " Go, talk nonsense, who would go that way!" "That is, the nearby villages know how to go there." The rest of the people also disagreed.

Di Renjie heard it strangely, called Xiaoer over, and said with a smile: "Little brother, what are you doing? We are from out of town, so tell us too?" He asked Di Chun to withdraw two coins and give it to him. Xiaoer was used to seeing all kinds of people, sweet-talking and clever, seeing Di Renjie's benevolent eyebrows, guessed that he took his servants and nephews out for a trip, and wanted to hear some anecdotes, so he took the opportunity to show off and said: "Old man, you don't know , more than twenty miles away from the town, there is a village called Gaojia Village, which is very strange, although it is a village, it was abandoned decades ago, and no one lives there, only some dilapidated houses left there.”

Di Chun interjected, "What's so weird about that?" Xiao Er said: "The strange thing is that if outsiders enter the village by mistake, they will often get lost. In broad daylight, they can't get out for a long time. People from the nearby villages don't go in. Every family has repeatedly told the children not to go to play. , the old people said it was called 'ghost hitting the wall'." Di Renjie said: "It's a good village, why is it abandoned?" Another person said: "I heard from the old grandson of our village that a certain king from the previous dynasty was buried in that village - it seems to be called 'Lanling', he liked to wear a mask when he was alive - listen It seems to be a woman. After her death, she brought her soldiers into the grave. If someone gets his mask, they can mobilize these evil soldiers! So this village is too dark, and there are still dozens of households in the village. He died later. It is said that some people have seen these evil soldiers come out, but apart from causing people to lose their way, they did not harm the village." It turned out that this person was also attracted by Xiaoer's words and couldn't help talking.

Di Renjie said: "Is it 'Lanling County King'?" "That's right, it seems to be." The man scratched his head and said. "Well, I've also heard it from the old people." The person at the other table also said. Di Chunqi said: "Is there really such a thing? Don't spread it around and scare yourself." Xiaoer said anxiously: "Why not? There must be such things as ghosts and gods. Two days ago, some guests from Luoyang also talked about ghosts in the palace. It's the same as in the noodle dance show, it hurt a lot of people! The county government and Luoyang also came to a few officials the day before yesterday, and they went to Gaojia Village. Jingmen', what 'ghost face is born'." As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper Ben was watching on the cabinet, and seeing the little errand talking nonsense, he actually talked about the affairs of the government, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you chewing?" Tongue, if you have time to spare, why don't you go to the backyard to chop some firewood!" Xiao Er knew he had slipped his words, shrank his head, and slipped away.

A person beside him said softly: "No wonder a few people who looked like officials were carried away that day, howling like ghosts and wolves. I dare to offend the ghosts and ghosts." The town is not big. It seemed that they had heard such a thing before, but when they thought about it now, they became a little scared, and everyone dared not say anything.Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Di Chun looked at each other in dismay, and thought to himself: There are no evil soldiers in the world, and there may be some strangeness in this. Li Yuanfang turned her head unintentionally, and saw that the tall man sitting next to her had left at some point.
