Dawan Village 8
"Tell me what's going on with Liu Yuexin?"
Qin Yan was playing with the broken silver, and Xiao Huiyong's eyes followed the silver up and down. Qin Yan slowed down so that he could see more clearly.
Xiao Huiyong's attention was completely attracted by the silver. Hearing Qin Yan's words, he subconsciously replied: "Isn't that the case?"
"What's going on?"
Xiao Huiyong replied: "What else can happen between men and women? It's just those things."
As he spoke, the crabapple tree in the corner of the yard swayed without wind, and its petals fell like rain or tears.
With a 'pop' sound, the silver fell back into Qin Yan's palm. He did not throw it away, but held it tightly. He sat up straight and asked, "She is dead, right?"
Xiao Huiyong was startled for a moment, then he replied awkwardly: "How could that be? She just got sick and went to the next village for treatment. She will be back tonight, and you will definitely see her."
Qin Yan's clothes were pulled, and he turned his head to meet Gu Qingqu's worried eyes. Qin Yan patted his shoulder to comfort him, and Gu Qingqu let go.
Xiao Huiyong was still staring at Qin Yan's hand, "What about the silver?"
Qin Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I'll give you double the amount when I see her tonight."
Hearing this, Xiao Huiyong's face turned a little grim, but he still said in a good tone: "Just give this to me first."
Qin Yan handed him the snake lying on the armrest, "This?"
Xiao Huiyong stood up in fear and compromised: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you in the evening. Don't forget it."
Qin Yan replied: "Don't worry, I will never forget it."
Xiao Huiyong was reluctant to leave, so Qin Yan picked up the snake head and shook it at him. Xiao Huiyong hurried away, and Qin Yan smiled coldly at his back.
After Xiao Huiyong left, Gu Qingqu asked, "Is Liu Yuexin the vengeful spirit from last night?"
Qin Yan looked at him, hesitating whether to tell him. Gu Qingqu noticed his emotions and said, "I'm not afraid, just tell me directly. In fact, even if you didn't tell me, I would have guessed it."
Hearing what he said, Qin Yan nodded and said to him: "Her body should be buried under the crabapple tree."
Gu Qingqu widened his eyes and reached out to tightly grasp Qin Yan's wrist. Qin Yan was shocked by his reaction. Didn't he say he wasn't afraid? What's going on now?
Gu Qingqu said weakly: "I... I'm still a little scared"
Qin Yan sighed in his heart, but still patted his shoulder, "It's okay, I will protect you"
"Yeah," Gu Qingqu nodded heavily, and then asked, "Since everyone is dead, what are we still doing here?"
"Find out why she died"
Qin Yan looked at the shaking crabapple tree, and a strong resentment burst out from the tree, like a gust of wind. Gu Qingqu also saw it. The wind made his voice seem a little ethereal. "She is crying."
Qin Yan was a little confused, because he didn't see the vengeful spirit, nor did he hear crying. Gu Qingqu must be hallucinating because of fear. He couldn't let him stay here any longer. Qin Yan stood up and said, "Go out for a walk."
Gu Qingqu stood up with him, and the two walked out side by side. After taking two steps, they saw Xiao Huiyong staring at them stealthily in the room. Qin Yan thought for a moment, turned around and put the two recliners into the Chaos Stone Ring. As he wished, he saw Xiao Huiyong's gritting teeth expression and left with satisfaction.
After leaving Xiao's house, even the air seemed to be fresher. It was already afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. Everywhere you looked, there was lush greenery, and people were working in the fields.
The country road was extremely narrow, so Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu could only walk slowly, one in front and one behind. At this time of year, there were unknown wild flowers blooming everywhere, the fragrance of rape flowers wafted over in waves, butterflies fluttered, and bees were busy among the flowers. Qin Yan looked at them with more affection than seeing people.
When they arrived at the pond, they saw several middle-aged ladies washing clothes by the pond. They were originally talking loudly about something, but as Qin Yan approached, they fell silent.
Qin Yan didn't take it seriously at first, but when they were walking by, one of the ladies suddenly said, "Some people are dying, but they still have the mood to take a walk."
These words were too targeted. Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu looked at each other. These people must know the inside story, so Qin Yan stopped. However, as soon as he moved closer, those people waved their hands and said, "Oh, you are so scary, don't come over."
Qin Yan stepped back and turned to Gu Qingqu. Gu Qingqu stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"
Gu Qingqu was good-looking, thin, and looked weak, and his voice was gentle, so everyone was very happy when he came closer, but they all sighed when they heard his words.
Gu Qingqu asked in a different way, "Is there something wrong with Brother Xiao's family's Feng Shui?"
Gu Qingqu is an expert at pretending to be pitiful. He sighed and said, "My father passed away. My brother and I followed his wishes and traveled with his ashes. It was already late when we got here, so we stayed at Brother Xiao's house. But something happened last night."
The ladies stopped washing their clothes and gathered around, asking curiously, "What happened?"
Gu Qingqu showed a frightened expression on his face. "First, the oil lamp went out inexplicably, then I heard a woman crying, and bloody handprints appeared on the wall, but they disappeared in the morning."
"Really?" The ladies were shocked and scared.
Gu Qingqu nodded heavily, "My brother and I saw it, we are definitely not lying."
The ladies looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan was very satisfied with Gu Qingqu's flexibility. He nodded and agreed, "Yes, of course I went closer to look at the bloody handprint. I can confirm that it is a woman's handprint."
Gu Qingqu continued, "Later I talked about this with Brother Xiao, and he said that someone nearby had died and they came to visit him and would leave soon. My father loved collecting these supernatural novels when he was alive, so we wanted to stay and see if anything strange would happen tonight."
"Oh my," the ladies couldn't bear to listen any longer and started to say one after another, "You are really brave. You still dare to stay after such a situation."
"Alas, after father passed away, my brother and I missed him very much. If we can ask someone to help see father, we would be willing to do so even if it costs our lives." Gu Qingqu's eyes became red as he spoke. Qin Yan wanted to applaud him when he saw him. He acted so well.
"You are really filial..." The aunt was moved by him and said to him, "I'm telling you secretly, just know it in your heart. You are a good child, and I don't want to see you die in vain."
Gu Qingqu choked up and said, "Auntie, you said that my brother and I must keep this a secret."
The ladies all started talking at once, "It is absolutely impossible for you to ask the female ghost of the Xiao family for help, because she is an evil ghost, and she was killed by the Xiao family."
"How come?"
The ladies spoke in low voices, and Qin Yan quietly moved closer. The ladies loved him and didn't find him scary, so they continued talking.
"That woman's name is Liu Yuexin. She is very beautiful. She came from Tianen Mountain. She came down from the mountain to marry Xiao Dahan, but Xiao Dahan already had a wife and children. Zhang Dani is a butcher and has a very bad temper. Not to mention the villagers, even her parents dare not mess with her. Liu Yuexin's disturbance made Zhang Dani so angry that she directly chopped her with a knife.
Little did he know that this strike actually cut off a white fox's tail.
It turned out that Liu Yuexin was actually a fox demon who cultivated into a human form on Tianen Mountain.
Now Xiao Dahan, who had been helping Liu Yuexin, no longer helped her. Liu Yuexin was seriously injured and could not leave, so Zhang Dani actually kept her.
The next day, the Xiao family spread the news that anyone could spend the night with the fox demon for just three cents.
Qin Yan said: "People are very afraid of monsters, who dares to go?"
The ladies said, "The Xiao family has been constantly bragging about how beautiful the fox demon is. Since the first person went there, more and more people have been going there. The reputation has spread, and even outsiders have come. The threshold of the Xiao family has been trampled down twice. Otherwise, how do you think the Xiao family's house came about?"
"Before Liu Yuexin came, the Xiao family was the poorest in the village. Look at how the house was renovated in just two years. Sigh..."
The ladies sighed, "I don't know what he likes about Xiao Dahan. He is ugly and smells bad. If he practices hard, he might even become an immortal."
"Alas, I can only say that this is my fate."
"Come to think of it, when I came here just now, I saw Xiao Dahan running around the village again, acting just as sneaky as he did when he was soliciting business."
Hearing this, Gu Qingqu looked at Qin Yan, who patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
The ladies advised: "What's the point of wearing a mask? Just leave now."
Qin Yan stood up and said, "Thank you, we'll leave now."
Gu Qingqu also stood up quickly, "Thank you"
The ladies warned: "This is a secret of the village, don't tell them that we said it."
"Don't worry, we didn't meet anyone when we went out today."
Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu walked back. Gu Qingqu said with lingering fear: "Could they be planning to attack us?"
Thinking of the drug he took at noon, Qin Yan laughed in his heart. There really are blind people in this world. They are so stupid that it makes people want to do something stupid.
Seeing that Qin Yan didn't say anything, Gu Qingqu asked again: "Can we still leave now?"
Qin Yan turned his head to look at him, "They are the ones who did the bad things, why should we leave?"
"But they..."
Gu Qingqu's worry was evident in her words. Qin Yan said, "Let's ask the fox for help and do them a favor as well."
"You want..."
Qin Yan didn't say it directly, but said: "We'll see when the time comes."
Qin Yan didn't know how she escaped the Black and White Impermanence and became a vengeful spirit, but if a vengeful spirit kills someone, it will be punished by heaven and will never be reincarnated. When her revenge is taken and her vengeance disappears, she will disappear completely without energy to support herself.
Qin Yan has a different feeling towards demons. Besides, Liu Yuexin was obviously not at fault in this matter, so he should help her out of both emotion and reason.
Spring is a wonderful season, very suitable for traveling, so the two did not go back immediately, but wandered around the village for the whole afternoon. While sightseeing, they also found that some men in the village looked at them strangely and disgustingly.
Qin Yan could roughly guess why, but he didn't care. However, Gu Qingqu did mind and held his hand tightly all the way.
