Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 625: The Midnight Howler
The gloom over her head was still hovering like day. Li Mazi sat for a while and had no patience, but I thought there would be something unusual in the middle of the night.
In order to prevent the possible appearance of pubic spirits, I deliberately hid under the bed with Li Mazi and put a sun visor on his body. As the night deepened, the surroundings gradually calmed down, leaving only He Kui snoring in his ears.
I looked through the window and found that the sky was shady outside, without the moon, and more convinced that the spirits would come out.
But over time, my confidence gradually disappeared. When it was more than 2 o'clock, the pubic air over my head remained the same. I had to exhale a little, and Li Mazi had been asleep under the bed for a long time.
Looks like the Yin Ghost won't come tonight. I woke Li Mazi up and crawled out of the bed. Li Mazi got up and mumbled. “Brother Zhang, I slept well. What are you knocking about? ”
“What did I knock? ”
I was told by him that there was something strange and impatient about it.
Li Mazi shouted, then his ears moved a few times, then shook his head and said: “I heard the crutches clearly just now, I thought you were knocking...”
Before he finished, I covered his mouth and lay my ears down on the ground and listened carefully. I could hear the clandestine knocking sounds of crutches coming from the ground, as if someone was walking.
The sound came from underground. I just wanted to say hello to Li Mazi Latte Shovel to dig up the floor, but the sound suddenly went away, as if towards the door. I hurried up and grabbed the Wolf whip and chased him out.
Because I can only hear voices close to the ground, I need to lie down on the ground for a while, and when I get to the entrance of the village, I get down, but I don't hear any more movement.
“With... lost? ”
Li Mazi asked somewhat obsessively. I nodded helplessly and walked home after filming the dirt on my body.
“Zhang Jia Xiao, I think Old Master He made that move, don't you think? ”
On the way back, Li Mazi asked softly, and I found the boy suddenly much smarter in the brain since his last serious injury.
“It should be him. ”
I nodded and said that during the day I felt that Old Master He's body was no longer in the grave. The movement just now further confirmed this idea.
And ordinary ghosts can't even walk underground. He's probably a fraud!
When I got back to my room, I squatted by the sink to wash the dust on my face, but Li Mazi shouted. I hurried back and found him staring at the roof, and I looked up subconsciously, and I realized that the gloom around the roof had vanished.
“This… what is going on, did the old man take away the yin qi? ”
Li Mazi slowed for half a day before returning to his senses. Some wondered, I don't know what's going on, but disappearing is not always a bad thing.
I was not in the mood to sleep after this incident. I simply hit a shop and waited with Li Mazi on the ground. When the sun was about to dawn, a slight noise suddenly came from the quiet underground. I sat up and gave Li Mazi a look.
He stood still and understood what I meant, listened on the ground, and then reached out his fingers to the ground.
I quietly moved in the direction of his finger. After a while, Li Mazi's finger stopped. He then stood up and said to me for a while: "Go. ”
I hurriedly drew a circle under my feet with an eyebrow, and then looked up, and the top of my head actually started spinning again.
“Shall we dig?” Li Mazi tried to ask.
I thought about it. Let's wait till dawn. After all, it is very likely that Mr. He just arrived, not to mention that the things below are very shady and dig up some during the day.
“Fine, watch this move come once a day, don't worry about it running away. ”
Li Mazi thought he nodded, and then we took a nap before dawn.
I don't know how long we slept. We were woken up by He Kui. He rubbed his palm and said strangely: “Master Zhang, I just went to the shed and found something strange! ”
After returning to the countryside, He Kui started to build a big shed and grow some anti-seasonal vegetables. He would go to the shed every once in a while to check it out. However, in recent times, his daughter's health had gotten worse and he had no intention of going underground. Yesterday I just rescued her daughter. He Kui couldn't wait to mow the grass in the shed with a hoe on his back. I didn't expect to see it there. It was actually clean in the shed and there was no weed.
Looks like someone's been mowing his weed every day for a while. The village set up a camera for the big shanty area to prevent people from stealing food, He Kui went to transfer the video to see which kind of person was secretly helping himself.
The surveillance footage showed that no one had ever been in the shed!
“Brother Zhang Jia, it seems to be really Old Master He. ”
Li Mazi couldn't help but say a few words.
He Kui asked me what was going on, and I told him about last night.
Yesterday I thought it was a crutch, and now it looks like a hoe. Poor parents, even if he died, he was still worried about his son. He Kui's eyes turned red and asked me what I should do next.
“The old man is supposed to be a fraud, otherwise the body won't walk on its own. But he certainly has no ill intentions towards you, and as for hurting the child's guts, it should be related to the hoe used by the old man. ”
I tried to analyze it because when the old man took the hoe away, the yin disappeared. When he put the hoe back, the yin qi came back. As for why the hoe had such a strong yin qi, I'm afraid you can only dig it out.
After listening, He Kui hesitated for half a day to ask if I could solve this without hurting the old man.
In fact, from the very beginning, he was particularly concerned about his old father, and it could be seen that he was truly a filial child. I nodded and told him that since the old man had no malice, he should be able to be reassured. He Kui got better after listening to his face and asked me if I wanted to dig up the ground now.
“Dig it, it will be easier to dig it up while the sun is shining! ”
I opened the door and window with my bare hands and affixed a spirit charm around the area that I circled out of, which prompted He Kui to do it.
Li Mazi consciously picked up a shovel and dug it up with He Kui, but the progress was slow. Because the house is too old, it may have been built by Old Master He in order to tie the field foundation, put a lot of crushed bricks underground.
While they were digging the pit, I let He Kui's wife fill a basket of grass and wood ash. Whenever they dig down a little, I sprinkle a layer of ash inside so that they wouldn't be too hard.
As they dig deeper and deeper, they don't dig bricks anymore, they dig black dirt.
I squatted on the side and pinched a handful of them on the tip of my nose and smelled them and found a heavy smell of raw iron on them!
Looks like the hoe is right down there. He Kui and Li Mazi are already tired and sweaty. I fear they will be flushed by the yin qi, so I call them up and dig them up myself. I hadn't felt much effort at first, but when I got to the third dig, I felt a force sucking on the shovel, and I couldn't lift it at all, obviously the underground thing started to work.
“Asako, throw ashes on me! ”
I drank a loud drink, then quickly read a "moral scripture", while Li Mazi poured the remaining half a basket of gray into my head, and although I was choking to death, my body became lighter.
I took this opportunity to dig as fast as I could. The shovel suddenly sounded crisp. I looked closely and found an iron in the soil. I dug it for a while. Finally, I dug it out.
I didn't expect it, it was a rusty hoe with black marks all over it, and it looked like blood had been spilled on it.
I asked Li Mazi to throw the hoe in the yard, looked up and let out the yin over her head. I made some changes to the small objects in the room while it was hot. Soon, all the yin in the room disappeared, and even a little more exciting.
He Kui was about to fill in the pit when he heard that his guts had dissipated. I stopped him and said with a smile: “The old man should come to fetch the hoe at night. ”
“I see.” He nodded and his eyelids became redder.
I patted him on the shoulder and called him into the yard and asked him if he'd seen this hoe.
