The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Aoki led the officers into the house.

Jin Xiaoxiucai looked at their backs and his whole body tensed up with nervousness.

But at this moment, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He was happy that the officials in the capital were not as he had heard before, blinded by money and only working for the rich, regardless of the grievances of the poor people.

In the capital, there are still guards like Brother Aoki who are upright and courageous.

I have heard before that it is not easy to live in the capital. In addition to some financial reasons, there are naturally also power reasons.

All the members of their tribe tried their best. Everyone worked hard for a year. Some went hunting, some went looking for mountain products, some washed clothes for others, some helped people dig the ground, some repaired ditches, built roads, and did transportation. Everyone worked hard for a few dollars.

A year later, the clan leader collected all the copper coins, gave them as travel expenses, and sent them to the capital.

Jin Xiaoxiucai knew that he must study hard in the capital, pass the imperial examinations, and repay his family in the future.

But after coming to the capital, he encountered many high-ranking officials who acted recklessly.

Including people like Princess Changning and Miss Feng.

They and their family have suffered a lot, but they are still gritting their teeth and persevering.

Jin Xiaoxiucai was also confused. He had heard that Shu Ge Lao was a good writer and had many students. His uncle went through a lot of trouble to find a way for him. He wanted to find a teacher for him and found a student of Shu Ge Lao.

Unexpectedly, after receiving two taels of silver from them, the other party randomly gave him a few test questions and set an extremely demanding time limit.

Jin Xiaoxiucai had answered half of the question very quickly, but the other party said that the time limit had expired and that his aptitude was average, so he needed to find someone in the capital to compete with him in poetry and learn from him, and then come back to him in a year.

Then the person disappeared.

My cousin's uncle had no choice but to go to Shu's house to ask where this person was. As a result, he was driven away by Shu's servants. During the pushing and shoving, my cousin's uncle even sprained his waist. He had to rest at home for a few days, and lost a few days' worth of money in vain.

When Jin Xiaoxiucai heard his aunt sighing and his brothers and sisters looking worried, he felt very uncomfortable.

He had been wondering if there was anything in this capital city worth his efforts.

He seemed to have seen it today.

I heard that those children are all from ordinary people's families.

In order to find these children, the police officers ignored their own dangers.

As long as there is still light worth having in this capital city, Jin Xiaoxiucai feels that he can continue to persevere.

It was so cold around that Jin Xiaoxiu felt his head starting to feel dizzy again.

He glanced at the old man next to him and saw his expression, feeling a little worried.

"Old man?"

Jin Xiaoxiu called him tentatively, but there was no response.

The talisman in his hand gradually became hot.

Jin Xiaoxiucai carefully let go of his hand and took a look, his eyes suddenly widened.

How come one corner of this talisman is burnt to ashes? And even though there is no fire, it is still spreading little by little!

How is this going?

If this talisman turns completely into ashes, will it no longer be able to protect him?

He should have gone home by now, but he hasn't gone back yet. His parents should be looking for him, right?

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoxiucai quickly held the talisman tighter.

No one noticed that something in his body seemed to loosen at this moment.

The evil spirit that had been gathering around him suddenly retreated as if it had been electrocuted.

Aoki and the officers had already arrived at the side courtyard.

There was no need to look for it; I could see the well at a glance.

"Lord Qingmu, Mr. Jin said this is a dry well." The officer lowered his voice.

For some reason, as he approached here, his heart uncontrollably rose to his throat. Subconsciously, he dared not speak loudly and his body tensed up.

He always felt that there were things hiding on all sides, eyes staring at him.

Aoki hummed and slowly walked towards the well.

He kept an eye on his surroundings and didn't sense anyone around, but the feeling of being stared at was the same as if he was being stared at by a police officer.

There was a hissing sound, and it was his feeling. Another talisman was destroyed.

Another step, another one destroyed.

The princess gave them talismans, but now it seems that these talismans may not be able to suppress the evil spirits here.

No, the talisman was drawn by Master Yin and his men, so it’s probably a little different from the one drawn by the princess.

There was a wooden board on the ground next to the well.

The wooden board looks quite thick. I guess it was used to cover the wellhead.

Since the well water has dried up, it is naturally safer to cover the wellhead.

But now the wooden board was thrown on the ground nearby, which was a bit strange.

With a hiss, another talisman was destroyed.

When the talisman was being destroyed, Qingmu would feel burned for a moment, and it was this sudden burning feeling that made him more sober.

Having already walked into the well, Qingmu did not dare to stick his head in to look into the well. He also knew that if the well was full of evil spirits, he would definitely be rushed up by the evil spirits if he suddenly stuck his head in to look.

"Is there anyone inside?" he asked.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly passed through the front wall, and its sudden appearance almost made Aoki take action.

"Aoki, it's me."

Madam Sheng San's voice instantly excited Qingmu.

"Third Lady!"

Why did the Third Lady appear at this time? Why was she here?

But it must be said that Sanniang's sudden arrival made Qingmu feel greatly relieved.

The third lady's hair even looked a little messy. When she floated over, she supported herself with one hand on the well mouth and the other on her waist, looking like she needed to catch her breath.

Aoki looked at her leaning against the wellhead, her mouth moving, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

That well...

No evil spirit?

Or has Sanniang's cultivation improved again?

"Third Madam, there is someone in the well..." We must rescue him quickly.

Madam Sheng San waved her hands a little timidly, "I, I know."

She noticed something again and looked towards the gate. Suddenly her expression changed slightly, "The Master is here!"

Aoki turned around immediately.

The princess is coming?

He knew that the princess would definitely arrive in time!

"It's good that the princess has arrived. Madam Sanmai you..." Qingmu turned around and wanted to speak to Madam Sheng Sanmai, but there was no one near the well.

Where is Madam Sheng San?

Qingmu was stunned and looked around, "Third lady?"

"Is grandma back?"

Lu Zhaoling's voice came immediately, and she was almost like riding the wind, very fast and light, and she came to Qingmu's side in an instant.

"Princess, the third lady was here just now." Qingmu pointed to the well.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that he was dazzled?

"I don't know why he suddenly disappeared. Could it be that I was affected by the evil spirit and had hallucinations just now?"

Aoki hit his head.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at the well, then at Qingmu, and a talisman was slapped on his forehead.

Aoki suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
