After entering, I sat down on the stone bench in the yard. A woman who looked like a daughter-in-law at home came to serve tea. The little old man waved his hand and asked someone to go down.

Lin Yutong said, "When I entered the village, I saw the big locust tree..."

"That's our sacred tree." The old man smiled: "Bless our village has good weather..."

oh!

Forget it, Lin Yutong stopped talking. The Fourth Master followed the old man and asked about the population income of the village, etc., but did not mention the savages on the mountain again.

During the meal, Lin Yutong showed up. The family would divide the meals into one portion, take them out alone and put them at the door and kowtow. Needless to ask, it was known that this was a offering to the big locust tree. The dishes in the bowl and the dishes in the plate were more abundant than those who were entertaining two guests.

After dinner, the Fourth Master said goodbye and stopped going up the mountain. He pulled Lin Yutong out of the village.

As a result, I left for more than an hour when I came, but it was useless when I went back, so I met with Li Gongfu and others.

It can be seen that the big locust tree did not welcome the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.

When I went back that day, it was already dark. The Fourth Master, who had originally planned to take the friendly route, knew that this route would not work at all. Many of these wild monsters may be like this big locust tree, relying on the offerings of nearby people to gain benefits. This is the case with the villages that rely on the mountain, and I think it is even more so in the mountains.

Speaking of which, isn’t this a lewd temple?

But what should I do with such things? Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master really don’t know.

The Fourth Master just now showed up, and he really lacked an advisor in this regard.

Before this consultant was found, the Fourth Master wanted to try other ways, such as posting notices.

To be honest, all savages can come down the mountain. As long as they come to the county government to register, the county government will properly place them.

But these people are in the mountains, such news

How can it be transmitted to their ears? It can only be transmitted to these servants, two people in groups, every alley, every village, and gongs and drums.

For this reason, the Fourth Master increased the salary of these constables for two months.

It’s easy to say if you have money. Two supporters were left in the yamen, and the others were all spread out.

This time, Li Gongfu did not go. He was the leader and had to take charge of the county government.

Mrs. Xu, who received two months' salary, should have been happy, but there was no news for this younger brother to leave. The man at home refused to go out to find him. What can I do?

The only way is to pray to God and worship Buddha, and donate the extra two months of salary to incense.

When I came back, I took a look at the security hall. When I saw that everything was fine, I felt a little more at ease and asked, "Where is your wife?"

"My wife is going to find Mr. Xu?" The young man said: "But it seems that I saw the lights in the room were on last night, and Miss Xiaoqing is probably there."

"Xiaoqing is here?" Mrs. Xu thrust her belly and headed back. If Xiaoqing is here, would her brother and sister go to find Hanwen alone? She is a woman's house and has a big belly, but not one of them has not been retrieved yet, and she lost another one. When she arrived in the yard, she called Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, are you at home?"

Xiaoqing frowned and waved his hand to ask Wu Gui to retreat. Then he quickly opened the door and went out, "Mrs. Is this here?"

When Madam Xu saw Xiaoqing coming out of the bedroom of her younger brother and sister-in-law, she couldn't help but show her confusion: "Is there brother and sister?"

Xiaoqing shook her head: "Sister... she's out..."

Then how could you just go into the bedroom? Now my younger brother's house is different from before. There was nothing to lose at home, but now it is different. I don't know how much silver is piled up in the family. The owner is not here, if something happens... When she thinks of this, she can't help but have more random thoughts. Now my younger brother's wealth is one of the best in Qiantang. What was kidnapped by the monk? Could it be that he was kidnapped?

There are only two types of people who kidnap this. One is a new person, who has heard of his younger brother's wealth, and the other is a familiar person who knows the most clearly in everything.

Before, Gongfu said that if he really followed the monk, he would not know how to leave a message or a mark... But if he was really kidnapped, how could he have any chance to keep this?

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He couldn't help but look at Xiaoqing.

How could Xiaoqing not be nervous? Her sister was scared to death and pulled out her younger brother who had grown up. If the aunt really knew the truth, she was still pregnant. If there was something wrong with this, what would happen?

Seeing Xiaoqing nervous, Mrs. Xu pointed to the bedroom: "No, I'm really tired, I'm asking me to go in and take a break..."

That won't work!

Xiaoqing quickly stopped him: "Mrs. Your house is next door. I'll support you. If you can't, please ask the two guys to carry it.

You can go back."

Just don't ask yourself to go into the house.

Before she could speak, Madam Xu felt that she was almost half-held by Xiaoqing, and her feet were sent to her home. The girl's hand was too strong. She didn't dare to say anything anymore. Seeing that Xiaoqing was not delayed, she hurried back, and she felt even more confused.

After confirming that Xiaoqing returned to the next yard, she quickly got up and rushed to the county government without saying a word.

As soon as he saw Li Gongfu, he pulled him to a place to avoid others and said what he had just happened: "...You said that Xiaoqing is so close to his younger brother and sister, why is he missing? Xiaoqing is not in a hurry at all. A woman with a big belly goes out alone, and she feels at home. Why did she go into the bedroom? I said I want to go in, so she just..." Imitating Xiaoqing's posture of supporting her to help Li Gongfu: "... My feet left the ground, and she just took me home without any effort. Do you think... could it be..."

"I'm a big slave to bully the master, and then I want to steal money?" Li Gongfu felt murmur in his heart when he heard his wife say this, "Let's go! Come and take a look."

Xiaoqing never expected that she would send her aunt away, but she would attract a couple.

Li Gongfu became more and more straightforward: "Xiaoqing, please ask us to come in and take a look, otherwise you have to go back to the county government office with me and ask the great master to ask carefully.

”

Xiaoqing dared not be arrested and went to the county government. She wanted to go to the county government government, but she secretly turned into a small snake at night. If she went there like this, she would have to return to her true form at the county government government gate. I don’t know how many people would be scared to death.

I want to go with the aunt and I can resist. But if I resist, isn’t it just that I have a problem? Everyone in the county government has to come and take care of themselves, and the officials’ death cannot be hidden.

After thinking about it, she had to grit her teeth: "It's not that you don't want you to go in, but..." She whispered: "Actually, the official has found it. But he fainted. The monk said that my sister needs to kneel in front of the Buddha for three days and three nights, otherwise the official will not wake up. She dare not ask people to get close, and she dare not call the life lamp to turn off. If you don't believe it, you come in and see it. But be careful, the life lamp will be gone."

How did you say this? Why don’t you understand?

I didn't have time to ask in detail, go in and take a look.

But when he saw this, Li Gongfu's heart was cold. How could he faint? Judging from his appearance, what's different from a dead person?

As soon as Madam Xu said Chinese, the life lamp closest to her began to sway a few times, as if it was about to go out. Xiaoqing quickly went over and picked it, pointing out, meaning: If you have anything to say, it is not suitable here.

As soon as she got outside, Madam Xu burst into tears: "Hanwen is he..."

"Alive." Xiaoqing said quickly.

Li Gongfu didn't say anything, just sat there looking at Xiaoqing, and then asked, "Where did your brother and sister go to the temple..."

this?

Where did Xiaoqing know?

Looking at the suspicious look, Xiaoqing was thinking about how to make a lie, and a sound came from outside: "My brother-in-law wants to know what, just ask me."

"Sister!" Xiao Qing sipped and greeted her. Before she could speak, she was stuffed with something by the White Snake: "Hurry up and make it into medicine and feed it to the officials."

Xiaoqing nodded and went busy.

Snake Bai went in, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

How should Snake Bai answer this?

I thought about it thousands of times, but I still couldn't stop feeling heartache. She fell into the blue sky and fell into the underworld... However, the official followed the black and white impermanence, and on the road to the underworld, he avoided himself like a snake or a scorpion.

Yes! I am a snake.

She did not chase after her again. As long as her body was immortal, Yan Luojun would be able to judge her husband to return to the sun. The first seven soul-returning night was when her husband woke up.

Before that, she turned her back and wiped the tears that she couldn't help but she said: "Sister and brother-in-law, for some things, I have to ask my sister and brother-in-law for help."

Mrs. Xu glanced at the bedroom: "Hanwen..."

"In a few more days, he will wake up." Bai Snake forced to smile and said, "But that day is also the death of Qing'er and I."

ah?

Li Gongfu frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Xu quickly pulled Snake Bai: "My brother and sister, what's wrong, just tell me. We are a family..."

White Snake took a deep breath: "...The official's disaster was caused by me. Xiaoqing and I learned some magic from experts when we were young..."

"Spell?" Mrs. Xu took two steps back: "It's like a Taoist priest who subdues demons..."

White Snake: "..." She didn't know how to explain it, but if you want to understand it this way, it would be fine. She nodded: "It's not too far, it's like that." She helped Madam Xu sit down, "I was young and energetic back then, and offended many people. Now, those people want to seek revenge, and the officials are implicated by me."

"Ah?" said Mrs. Xu, "Why didn't you say these things earlier? Who are these people? How can you do this... If not, let's report to the official..."

"This is not a matter of reporting to the officials." White Snake said: "Those who offend cannot be considered human beings, but..."

"Demon?" Mrs. Xu quickly pulled Li Gongfu: "What's wrong?"

Li Gongfu originally didn't believe in those things, but first there was a monster in Kyoto. He went out with his great master two days ago and experienced strange events. Now, he believes in it: "This thing...you

Is there a way to deal with it? Otherwise, go and invite a Taoist monk..."

"But there is no one who has been guarding against thieves for thousands of days!" Bai Snake said, "Now, for the sake of the officials, I don't care much. As long as Xiaoqing and I die, I will be punished..."

"This is not true!" said Mrs. Xu, "Why did this end up dead?"

"Sister." Bai Snake said, "It's not really dead. It's because the officials and others know that Xiaoqing and I are both dead." She touched her stomach, "Where is him, how could I really die?"

"This?" Mrs. Xu shook her head: "At that time, I just dreamed of you, and Chinese was like crazy. If I knew you were dead..."

"Sister, don't worry. The official has also experienced life and death. He is not as fragile as his sister thinks." As she said that, she smiled, "And I don't go far. We know some magic, just a simple change. I want to go find my wife and redeem the old house of Xu's family that was sold to the great master and his wife. I will live there with Qing'er. In the future, the child will be born, and the child's surname will be Xu..."

"How can that work?" Mrs. Xu shook her head: "Is this so wronged you?"

"What's wrong?" Bai Snake smiled and said, "I will take half of the silver. I will leave all the shops for the officials. If the officials have a girl they like in the future..." She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister just wants to find another good marriage for the officials. Here, my sister and brother-in-law don't have to worry about it."

This is even more terrible!

Before Li Gongfu and Madam Xu talked, Madam Bai said, "Otherwise, the officials would not know when they would be like today, but I don't know if they can wake up next time..."
To be continued...
