I survive in the weird Liaozhai

"I don't know what you mean, Master Nian'an. Can you tell Hongxiu in detail?"

“This…～～”

Gu Nian'an was a little embarrassed for a moment. It was really difficult to tell outsiders about the ghost baby. Regardless of whether he believed it or not, it would be easy to cause trouble if he was not careful.

After thinking for a while, he bowed and said

"Miss Hongxiu, you don't need to ask more. There are some things I can't say more about. You just need to do as I ask. Thank you for troubling Miss Hongxiu."

Li Hongxiu still didn't quite understand the significance of doing this, but she was now the owner of Tingfeng Cottage.

Even if the young man in front of her wanted her to sleep with him, she couldn't refuse.

Now they have only made a very insignificant request, there is no reason to refuse.

After thinking through the details, Li Hongxiu bowed and said, "Hongxiu will inform the sisters. Mr. Nian'an, rest assured that Hongxiu will arrange everything."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Miss Hongxiu. I have something else I want to ask you.

It’s just… it might be a little reckless, I hope Miss Hongxiu won’t mind.”

Hearing this, Li Hongxiu smiled softly and said, "Mr. Nian'an, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

"I wonder if there are any children under ten years old in Tingfeng Cottage, or if Miss Hongxiu has any pregnant sisters."

He must hear this clearly, as he is about to lure the ghost baby into Tingfeng Cottage. If there are children or pregnant women here, it will increase the complexity.

Hearing the question from the young man, Li Hongxiu's face turned slightly red.

"Master Nian'an's Tingfeng Cottage is a place of entertainment so there won't be any children.

And... the sisters will be very careful when interacting with guests, and there will be no children, I can guarantee that."

The "shopkeeper" had guaranteed it, so he had no reason not to believe it. As long as there were no children or pregnant women in Tingfeng Cottage, there would be no problem.

As long as they don't do anything stupid, they shouldn't be unlucky enough to run into a ghost baby if they go out and wander around late at night.

"I may have to disturb you in the next few days. It's getting late now. You should go to bed early. We can make our own arrangements from now on."

Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, and everything that needs to be asked has been asked clearly.

It's getting late, it's time to get ready. He is looking forward to meeting the ghost baby.

Seeing that the young man in front of her had the intention of leaving, Li Hongxiu did not disturb him any further. She bowed and said goodbye, then walked upstairs with light steps.

It was not until Li Hongxiu disappeared that Gu Nian'an turned to Wang Jie and said

"Prince Wang, go and tell them to bring their things and start getting ready. It's getting late and we need to speed up."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie bowed without saying a word and turned to leave.

After Wang Jie left, Gu Nian'an turned his gaze to Xu Chongxiao, who looked a little unhappy.

"We are the only two here now, so feel free to ask anything you want to ask."

Xu Chongxiao hesitated for a moment but finally asked, "Will the Taoist priest and the others be in danger?"

Ha! What a naive question! Once the blood of the hundred infants is spilled, no one in Tingfeng Cottage will be safe.

"Have"

"Then we...~~"

Before Xu Chongxiao could continue speaking, Gu Nian'an interrupted him.

“I have some guesses about the approximate location of the ghost baby. This is the best place to trap it.

Think about your senior sister, and then think about those children who were victimized. We don’t have time to hesitate.

Put aside your sympathy and chivalry and just focus on dealing with the ghost baby.

As long as we can kill the ghost baby before it hurts them, nothing will happen."

Alas! Xu Chongxiao sighed.

This went against the chivalrous path he had adhered to for twenty years, but he knew that what Chang said was right. Everything else was secondary now, and killing the ghost baby was the top priority.

Seeing that Xu Chongxiao stopped talking, Gu Nian'an said no more. Xu Chongxiao was a smart man and he should understand the priorities of things.

Gu Nian'an walked in front, and Xu Chongxiao followed silently behind him. The two of them walked into the backyard of Tingfeng Cottage together.

Looking at the lush bamboo forest in the backyard, his eyes lit up slightly.

This bamboo forest is much larger than it looks from the outside, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

Oh, ghost baby, please don't let me down, this is the burial place I carefully selected for you.

At one o'clock in the morning (11 o'clock), a large group of Wang family servants, led by Wang Jie, came to the backyard of Tingfeng Cottage with large and small bags.

This time, his command was no longer needed and people started to get busy.

These people were the same batch from yesterday. They already had experience in setting the trap once, so this time the trap was completed very quickly, and it was all done in about two quarters of an hour.

Everything was ready. After the Wang family servants left, only the three of them were left in the backyard of Tingfeng Cottage.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Gu Nian'an waved his hand

"Get ready, and be careful next time."

After speaking, Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie clasped their fists and then went into the bamboo forest to hide.

The bamboo forest was deep and full of dangers. Gu Nian'an bypassed numerous traps, taking off the silk scarf from her eyes as she walked.

There was a cold light in his eyes that flickered, and he hoped that things would go as he wished.

He walked to the center of the bamboo forest, gently took out a bottle of Hundred Infants' Blood from his sleeve, opened the cork, and then skillfully sprinkled it on a dead pig.

There are only five bottles of this stuff, and two bottles have been used now. There are not many left, and it is time-consuming and laborious to replenish it. If this matter cannot be handled before the Hundred Infants Blood is used up, things will become extremely troublesome.

After placing the bait, Gu Nian'an walked straight towards a pile of rockery not far away.

In fact, the bamboo forest is not the best place for an ambush. It is too open and the bamboo trees are small and not conducive to hiding.

But nothing is perfect. As long as we can lure the ghost baby out, we have to go ahead even if there is no trap.

Gu Nian'an suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and took out three long iron arrows from the quiver behind him and placed them in a convenient place.

Then, holding the Moon-Chasing Longbow, he stared fiercely at the bamboo forest in front of him. Everything was ready, and now he just had to wait for the prey to take the bait.

The stars were dim and the night was long. Gu Nian'an stared at every move in the bamboo forest, but after one night and the rising sun, he still did not see anything unusual.

Alas! It seems that I have waited in vain all night.

But what? Just patience.

He could endure the loneliness in the mountains for seven or eight years; patience was something he never lacked.

Gu Nian'an put away the longbow in his hand and tied the silk scarf around his eyes again before walking out from the gap in the rockery.

The chance of that ghost thing appearing in broad daylight is not high. Take a rest first, conserve your energy during the day, and then test your patience with that ghost thing at night.

When Gu Nian'an walked out of the bamboo forest in the backyard and came to the front hall, he saw a figure who had been waiting there for a long time, but his face looked a little ugly.

He had no intention of paying any attention to the man and walked straight past the figure.

Now he planned to ask Li Hongxiu to help him find an empty room to rest for a few hours. It was really tiring to concentrate on watching the movements in the bamboo forest all night.

Just as Gu Nian'an stepped onto the stairs, Wang Jie's slightly anxious voice came from behind him.

"Master Nian'an, can you tell me how long we have to wait for the evil spirit you mentioned?"

Gu Nian'an didn't look back, nor did he stop walking up the stairs, and his voice sounded a little cold.

"Master Wang, if you don't want to waste time here, you can go back. Gu has never asked you to stay."

He doesn't like Wang Jie, but he doesn't reject him, nor will he have too much contact with him.

He is the young master of the Wang family. He is not the same kind of person as me, so there is nothing to pay attention to.

As for revenge, ah! It's just the impulse of youth.

I hope he can still maintain his current hatred when he truly sees the ghost baby.
