Huangquan Roadside Inn

After Chang Xi left the inn, the inn fell into deathly silence.

After Ming Jun found a chair and sat down, he looked up at the two people who had been hanging their heads before him, and opened his lips and said, "Afraid?"

Baixi and Qingyu looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

Ming Jun's gaze shifted from looking at the two people to Bai Xi, especially the fiery mark between his brows: "If you have never made a mistake, you will not be afraid."

"Mingjun's words are wrong. We clearly know that we were punished to come here, but we are not afraid of saying that we have never made mistakes. We have made mistakes, of course we are afraid. Is there a problem?" Bai Xi quickly took Mingjun's words and said.

The bright red clothes were extraordinarily elegant, which complemented the imprint between the eyebrows, Ming Jun also looked straight at Bai Xi: "I am not unreasonable."

Bai Xi was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer his words. He just felt that Mingjun's gaze was too straightforward, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately avoided looking at him, but unexpectedly found that there was a A ten-year-old boy.

He stood in front of the door with a bewildered expression, looking left and right at the situation in the inn. Although the man in black was a little scary wearing a mask, the other two looked kind-hearted, so he couldn't help but speak:

"That... I want to ask, where is this?"

Qingyu looked at the young man for a while, then looked at the book of death in his hand, the name of the soul in front of him did not appear at all, could it be another person who broke into the Huangquan Inn by mistake?

"This is the Huangquan Inn." Bai Xi ignored the Ming Lord sitting in front of him, and walked straight towards the young man. Just getting closer, he immediately felt that the young man in front of him was not a human being, but a real soul.

As for why he appeared in the Huangquan Inn, and his name was not recorded in the death record, then he should be a departed soul.

The existence of the book of life and death is to record how many years of life each person born should have. Therefore, after a person dies, he will come directly to the Huangquan Inn, and his name will appear in the book of death.

And those who died before the life span recorded in the book of life and death, although the name will appear in the book of death, if the ferryman does not arrive in time, the soul will wander around the world, or become a evil spirit that endangers the world, or it is called a disk for monster cultivation. Chinese food.

And the young man who appeared today is clearly a living soul.

"Yellow Spring Inn, where is it? I woke up and was at the door. I came in when I saw someone inside." The young man bowed to the two in front of him in a daze, and then introduced himself. .

"Is it here after waking up?" Qingyu was also very curious.

"Well, I'm from Dongjiazhuang in Xiye City. I don't know how far it is from Dongjiazhuang?" Seeing that Qingyu was easy to talk, the young man walked closer to him and looked at him eagerly.

"Since he is a living soul, send him back."

Mingjun, who had been sitting behind, suddenly gave an order, and Baixi and Qingyu immediately saluted Mingjun and looked at each other: "Then brother Baixi will send him back to Xiye City?"

"Okay." Bai Xi patted the young man on the shoulder, pulled him over with the young man's ignorant and innocent expression, and walked out of the gate of Huangquan Inn.

It was not yet dawn, everything was still in the darkness before dawn, and the cool breeze was blowing wherever it passed, even the stars in the sky gradually disappeared without knowing when, only a few were left hanging in the sky.

When dawn comes, the smudged morning glow in the sky is particularly beautiful, reflecting the peacefulness of Dongjiazhuang.

The young man walked towards the yard where he lived with Bai Xi, who was familiar with the road: "Brother, they didn't see us when we came in just now. This is really interesting."

The young man smiled, and even his tone was full of novelty.

Bai Xi shook his head helplessly: "It's not fun to leave the soul. If you make a mistake, you will die. You, it's better not to wait for the next time."

The young man looked back at Bai Xi, and then nodded with a smile, but when he heard Mrs. Dong's heartbroken cry from ahead, he couldn't help but stop curiously, and the young man took Bai Xi to the gate of the courtyard, but Seeing the servant girl running out in a hurry, she ran towards the old lady's courtyard, saying that the second young master was gone.

"Oops, go back quickly." Bai Xi hurriedly reminded the young man in front of him, but when he saw a look of doubt flashing across his face.

"It's me who is leaving the soul, why is my brother still dead?" The young man looked at Baixi suspiciously, then walked towards his yard, but stopped after taking two steps, and looked at the crow in front of him in astonishment. A group of people came here.

And one of them looks exactly like the boy.

"Strange." Naturally, Bai Xi also discovered what the young man saw, and his expression was the same as that young man's. He was shocked but also puzzled: "In other words, that person is not you?"

The young man watched helplessly as his grandmother led the maid and servant, and another person hurried to the yard by himself, and then he and Bai Xi followed.

Madam Dong's crying in the room was loud, and the old lady stopped at the door, her face sank slightly, and she asked the maid serving at the door: "Why is Second Young Master gone?"

The servant girl was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "I got up in the morning to take care of the second young master to wash up, but didn't want to wake him up, so I opened the door and went in, and found... I found that the second young master was already cold."

"What did he eat? Or where did he fall?" the old lady asked again.

The servant girl shook her head: "Second Young Master looks like... It seems that he died without any illness, and he was not poisoned or anything else."

The old lady snorted coldly, turned around and walked back: "Forget it, useless things will only cause trouble all day long. Since they have already gone, they should be dragged out and buried. Children who die young cannot be kept."

The old lady gradually left under the eyes of Bai Xi and the boy, only to find that the boy who was the same as herself was still standing in the courtyard, but he was looking at the back of his grandmother when he left, with resentment in his eyes.

At this time, the crying in the house stopped, and the servant girl waited on Madam Dong when she came out of the house. She was wearing a pink jacket and skirt, and the pearls, hairpins and silver ornaments did not fall off at all. They all drove out, leaving only the boy in the courtyard.

"Mother, that old woman is too hateful." The boy still had resentment in his eyes, even his tone was not kind.

Bai Xi looked towards the young man beside him, only seeing him clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger. Bai Xi didn't quite understand the relationship between their family members, but he vaguely guessed that this lady and the young man in front of him Not too close.

"Ah Gong, listen to what mother said, anyway, your brother will not come back, so you can rest assured to use his body to live well, and wait for the old woman to die, everything in this family will not be decided by mother and your father? "The madam caressed the boy's face lightly, her eyes were full of complacency.

Contemptuously glanced at the corpse in the room, spat, hurriedly called people, and ordered them to drag the second young master's body out and bury it according to the old lady's arrangement, the farther the better.

Afterwards, he led Dong Gong towards his yard.

The young man wanted to go forward and grab the person passing by, but he was stopped by Bai Xi, who shook his head: "The sun is coming out soon, you are a living soul, and you can't stand the strong yang energy, go, go Shrine."

The young man nodded, followed Bai Xi and disappeared into the Second Young Master's courtyard.

In the ancestral hall of Dong's family, the memorial tablets of the eighteen generations of ancestors are almost included, and the incense is in full swing. With the protection, the young man can stay at night with peace of mind.

The young man sat cross-legged on the futon, looked at Bai Xi who was standing on the bed: "Brother, do you think my grandma will be okay?"

"No, it's just the beginning, and they won't be so impatient." Bai Xi comforted the young man in front of him, and squatted in front of him: "Tell me, you are clearly a family, why is your grandmother treating your younger brother? , is that kind of attitude?"

The young man sighed: "My name is Dong You, and that wife is my father's house fill. When I was born, my mother had dystocia, and I left after giving birth. My father and grandmother raised me. My father was busy with business, I grew up with my grandma.

Later, when my father came back from doing business in other places, he brought his current wife back. Regardless of grandma’s objections, he married her to fill the house. The next year, my younger brother was born. "

"Why doesn't your grandma like your stepmother? Logically speaking, she should be on your father's side." Bai Xi asked suspiciously.

Dong You sighed: "Because my father didn't know her details at all, so he just wanted to marry her to fill the house. Although I was young at the time, I also knew that my father was going to marry my stepmother. She treated me well at first, but gradually Grandma Di accepted her, but after having a younger brother, she didn't treat me well.

He scolded me everywhere, and when my father was not at home, I was not allowed to go to school and asked me to take my younger brother at home. Later, my grandma found out and kept me by her side. "

"What happened next?" A trace of distress flashed in Bai Xi's eyes.

"In order not to disappoint my grandma, I learned everything. To put it bluntly, if I have two more years, I will definitely get the first place in the scientific examination." As soon as he said this, a smile appeared on Dong You's face. But what followed was another burst of melancholy:

"But because of this, grandma doesn't like my younger brother. Many tenants in the village always come to complain to grandma, saying that he allowed his servants to waste food, destroy good fields, release the hoarded water in droughts, floods He blocked the river from time to time, causing the tenants to be very dissatisfied, but the wife always talks about education, but she always follows his temper."

"It's no wonder your grandma doesn't like him." Bai Xi smiled helplessly, and looked up at Dong You worriedly: "Think about it, Mrs. Dong used some kind of magic to change her soul, so that your brother's soul can live here on you, and let you live on your brother."

When Bai Xi said this, Dong You also fell into confusion for a while, but then Bai Xi frowned again:

"No, if she wanted you to borrow your brother's body, why did she bury your brother's body in a hurry? Could it be that she didn't want you to come back?"

Dong You looked at Baixi in front of him in astonishment, and opened his mouth in horror: "Then...then what should I do? Will they hurt my grandma if they borrow my body?"

"Don't worry, with me here, everything can be saved." Bai Xi patted his shoulder and said in relief.

But Dong You still couldn't feel at ease in his heart, and was about to speak, but he heard a wicked laugh coming from outside the ancestral hall, shrill and sinister, so frightened that Dong You immediately hid behind Baixi.

Bai Xi got up and protected Dong You behind him, holding the Qingxin Pearl tightly in his hand, and said on guard: "Where did the evildoer come from, dare to act presumptuously in front of my uncle!"
