In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

The 15th day of the seventh month is the Ghost Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival. Ten days have passed since the assassination, and nothing has happened in these ten days. Chen Ruotong relaxed her vigilance and said to Qiao Zien, "It seems that the assassin knows that you are a powerful martial artist and dare not come. We should be safe now!"

Qiao Zien shook his head and said, "The assassin was indeed injured, but is he the only assassin? Won't others come? Maybe they are waiting for an opportunity? Don't let your guard down."

"Okay, you have the final say!" Chen Ruotong was helpless. Why did she still have to live in fear? It shouldn't be like this!

Old man Chen also came back with everyone: "Grandson, I have been here for more than ten days. I have to come back to see you. You don't even come to see your grandfather. Today is Ghost Festival. I have to come back to buy some offerings to pay tribute to the ancestors at the intersection, and also to release river lanterns by the river."

Chen Ruotong looked at Qiao Zien, then at Grandpa. Now she had to stay with Grandpa all the time, which didn't seem right. If she stayed with Grandpa, he might be in danger. Oh, really, having relatives means having ties. So she asked Qi Si to go to Zhenpin Pavilion to call Haozi to protect Old Man Chen.

At dusk, more and more people came to the streets, all of them carrying offerings to pay respects outside the city or at intersections inside the city. There were so many people releasing river lanterns on both sides of the Wing Chun River that a layer of river lanterns floated in the river.

There were also parades, with people wearing all kinds of ghost masks, ringing bells, dancing, and beating drums as they passed by the street. It was indeed a bit creepy. This kind of scene was not unusual after seeing it on TV, so she took a look and walked towards the river. Old Man Chen asked her to go to the river first to buy some river lanterns, and then everyone would release them together. She felt relieved that Mouse was there to accompany Old Man Chen.

Qiao Zien walked in front and she followed behind.

Qiao Zien asked: "Brother Guchuan, aren't you afraid of those ghosts?"

"What are you afraid of? They are just actors playing roles. It's just the masks that scare people. Let's buy two masks and put them on. It's quite fun."

As soon as Chen Ruotong finished saying this, she felt her body lighten and was taken away. She looked carefully and saw that the Black and White Impermanence were carrying her and running away. To be honest, she was scared. After the panic, she calmed down: Well, it’s not certain who will be scared at that time! She didn’t plan to call Qiao Zien, as it would be easier for her to bring people into the space.

But Qiao Zien reacted quickly, sensed something was wrong at the first moment, and turned around to chase after him.

There were so many people on the street, you bumped into me, I bumped into you, and the Black and White Impermanence couldn't run away. Similarly, Qiao Zien had a hard time chasing them, because most people on the street were wearing masks, and some were dressed as the Black and White Impermanence. So, no one thought there was anything strange about the Black and White Impermanence holding Chen Ruotong. Chen Ruotong didn't dare to disappear suddenly, because there were too many people, and she might abduct someone into the space. She just held her, because she wasn't tired anyway. She was completely calm now, but Qiao Zien was anxious!

Gradually, they came to a remote place with fewer people. Qiao Zien followed them closely, too close, she couldn't bring the Black and White Impermanence into the space. She was taken into an empty alley.

Qiao Zien took a step forward with the Embroidered Spring Knife in hand and stabbed at Bai Wuchang. While the two were fighting, Hei Wuchang picked up Chen Ruotong and ran away. Bai Wuchang was pestering Qiao Zien, not letting him chase Hei Wuchang. Seeing that Hei Wuchang was about to disappear in the night, Qiao Zien made a feint to get rid of Bai Wuchang and chased after Hei Wuchang. He ran slowly because of his short calves. He didn't catch up. At this time, Bai Wuchang caught up. Qiao Zien was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He used all his strength to chop at Bai Wuchang. Bai Wuchang fell to the ground and died, completely becoming a ghost. He was also so tired that he was shaking all over. He no longer had the strength to look for Chen Ruotong. He hated that he was too weak and incompetent. He used his right hand to poke the ground with the knife and knelt on the ground gasping for breath. He hated that he hesitated at that time and didn't use his ultimate move.

Just as he was feeling extremely regretful, Chen Ruotong ran over, squatted on the ground and asked anxiously, "Qiao Zien, are you okay?"

Qiao Zien sat down on the ground, grabbed Chen Ruotong's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

Chen Ruotong touched his head and said, "Well, I'm fine. Let's go and find grandpa."

Chen Ruotong accidentally looked up and saw Bai Wuchang lying in a pool of blood beside her. She shuddered all over. It was the first time she saw such a bloody scene. How could she not be afraid?

She quickly helped Qiao Zien up and ran out of the alley, slowly coming to the busy street. They were afraid of being stabbed again, so they held hands tightly and walked quickly to the river.

Fortunately, there were no more pursuers. At this time, grandpa was looking for them on the river bank.

"Where did these two kids go? They scared them to death!" Old man Chen looked anxious.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. We were too playful and ran too far. Let's release the river lanterns together!" Chen Ruotong comforted.

Grandpa was very pious. He put the river lanterns into the river and kept muttering to himself. Qiao Zien also solemnly put a few river lanterns. He said nothing, but just stared at the river lanterns floating away silently. Chen Ruotong knew that he had a story and a secret, because when she came back, she found that his knife was gone. She understood: Sure enough, the time travelers all have space, I wonder what his space is like? If he doesn't say it, she can't ask. This is his life-saving talisman, just like her own space, she can't tell others. Why should she force him?

When they got home, it was already late at night, and they both went back to their rooms to sleep.

Chen Ruotong entered the space, took a shower and washed clothes. After she cleaned herself up, she went into the bathroom to see what the so-called Black Impermanence looked like. She took off the man's black coat, and he was still wearing black clothes underneath. He wiped the man's face with a wet towel. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with an average appearance, nothing special. She searched him again, and only found a dagger. No items to prove his identity were found, and no silver. But then again, when an assassin goes out to perform a mission, he will not bring anything else except weapons.

She could only temporarily put the man in the bathroom, and wait for a chance to tie him out of the space, and then pretend to be Bai Wuchang to scare him and find out who he was. What was the secret of the fan? Forget it, go to sleep, and talk about the future later. She was tired for half a night and needed to rest. She lay on the big bed in the space, and the cool space made her feel very comfortable.

Qiao Zien had recovered some strength at this time. His little body was too weak to withstand the tossing. After running and fighting for a while, he almost collapsed. He was still too young and too weak! He took out the embroidered spring knife out of thin air, stood up and wiped the blood off the blade with a wet cotton cloth. Then, the knife in his hand disappeared again.

Yes, Qiao Zien also has space, but his space is like chicken ribs and can only hold a knife!
