When Zhang Lingyue came to see Zhang Geng, Zhang Geng seemed to be fine. Ji Ziyu was feeling his pulse, nodded and said, "It's true, but there is still some residual poison."

Zhang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Which doctor came to see it, I'm going to thank him well."

Seeing that Zhang Geng didn't speak, Ji Zi smiled lightly, "It's your husband..."

Zhang Lingyue glared at Ji Ziyu, then turned his face away, "Ji Ziyu, you are really annoying!"

Zhang Geng coughed a few times, Ji Ziyu patted him on the back, Zhang Geng said to Zhang Lingyue, "Ling Yue, Ziyu is also your elder brother, don't play with your temper at will!"

"You... good!" Zhang Lingyue really hated Ji Ziyu from the bottom of his heart, just because Zhang Geng always helped him speak.

For a long time, Ji Ziyu looked at Zhang Geng and said slowly, "Brother Zhang, I seem to know how she got here about that Xianghong bird, but I don't know if it's that..."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"There seems to be a village next to Zhehua Valley called 'Beautiful Village'. Hu Huaigu and I went there a few years ago."

"Well, I know that."

"We are removing evil spirits. There was a girl in that village, and Hu Huaigu defiled her. When we came back, the girl seemed to be pregnant, and asked me to tell Hu Huaigu's parents..."

Zhang Geng frowned, "There is such a thing!"

Ji Ziyu continued, "When we came back, we met a wild ghost on the road, so it was delayed for a few days, so when I came back, I forgot about it..."

"Then your memory is too bad, can you forget such things?" Zhang Lingyue said.

"Because I've been to Folding Flower Valley and I'm familiar with the terrain there, Brother Zhang has asked me to go there in the past few years during the Zhongyuan Festival. This time, the Xianghong bird suddenly attacked me, and I remembered that incident... ..."

Zhang Geng thought for a while, "We are still not sure whether this Xianghong bird was transformed by that girl. We need to go to the village to ask if the girl is still alive. In addition, Hu Huaigu also needs to ask."

Ji Ziyu nodded, "Leave Hu Huaigu to me. Only I know about it. He won't hide anything from me."

On the second day, Zhang Geng took people to the village Ji Ziyu mentioned early in the morning, while Zhang Lingyue went to find Zhong Guchen with the money.

Sure enough, Zhong Guchen set up his stall again in that small corner.

Zhang Lingyue threw the money bag to him, "Give me back that bottle!"

Zhong Guchen stuffed the money bag into his bosom first, returned the bottle to Zhang Lingyue, and then whispered in Zhang Lingyue's ear, "I heard that you beat Hu Huaigu?"

Zhang Lingyue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I did."

Zhong Guchen gave him a thumbs up with his mouth wide open, "Admiration, admiration, people like him, although everyone hates him, but no one wants to provoke him, because he is so good at playing rogue. As the saying goes, I would rather offend a gentleman , don't provoke villains!"

Zhang Lingyue nodded in agreement, "That's right!"

Zhang Lingyue looked at the half of the money bag exposed in Zhong Guchen's arms, and said, "You have to pay me back this money!"

Zhong Guchen lowered his head and stuffed the exposed money bag tightly, "That's natural." He raised his head and said with a smile, "Wait for me..."

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Lingyue's back, and his eyes were extremely tense. Zhang Lingyue didn't notice anything strange about him, and continued: "What are you doing with this money? Going to brothels or buying those useless things..."

"Shhhhh! Don't say it, don't say it!" Zhong Guchen covered Zhang Lingyue's mouth, and a deep voice came from behind Zhang Lingyue:

"what money?"

Zhang Lingyue probably knew why Zhong Guchen didn't let him speak. He turned around, and a tall figure stood in front of him. Me, go home!"

"Uncle Zhong?"

The person who came was Zhong Guchen's uncle Zhong Shichuan. He raised his sword and struck Zhong Guchen. ah--"

Zhong Shichuan chased after him and yelled, "You boy, if you don't practice your sword well, you are actually doing some useless things. Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

Passers-by avoided one after another, muttering, "Patriarch Zhong hit his nephew again, how many times has it been this month?"

"How many times has it been this month? Who in this street didn't watch him get beaten up!"

"Father and mother died early, and uncle doesn't teach anymore, how will he inherit the family business in the future?"

"When his father Zhong Shiquan and Zhang Juyuan of the Zhang family died on Changyou Mountain, this boy was only half a year old. His mother contracted an illness less than a year after giving birth to him, and that's how he died..."

These people are right. Zhong Guchen’s father and Zhang Lingyue’s father met in Changyou Mountain. Zhang Lingyue was not born at that time, and Zhong Guchen was less than half a year old. became an orphan.

……

The sound of bells, drums, ghosts and wolves howling could be heard from time to time on the street. Zhang Lingyue shook his head and wrapped the things on the ground with the cloth underneath. There were not many things and they were not heavy. Zhang Lingyue picked them up and went home.

At this time, Zhang Geng hadn't brought anyone back, so Zhang Lingyue went back to his room to read a book.

This book was turned page after page, but Zhang Lingyue didn't remember anything about what he read.

He didn't pay attention to the book at all, he simply closed the book and threw it aside, then lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

He turned over inside and hit something bulging with his hand. He lifted the quilt and saw that it was the lantern Ye Jun gave him!

Ye Jun confiscated it last time, he remembered it was put in the closet, why did it appear on the bed?

Fortunately, this lantern is different from ordinary lanterns, otherwise it would have burned on the bed.

Zhang Lingyue took the lantern out of the quilt and hung it on the head of the bed, and his drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

He stood outside the door, the scorching summer sun was predictably depressing.July is almost over, the weather should be cooler this time, Zhang Lingyue thought.

The whole day was almost over, and Zhang Lingyue really didn't know what else he could do.

He felt that he was just dawdling around like a useless person every day. Everyone had their own things to do, but what could he do?

So much has happened lately that a lot of people seem to be pretending not to care these days.

He is still Zhang Lingyue, but not the Zhang Lingyue that many people used to be, and they no longer treat him like they did before.

Zhang Lingyue simply didn't think about it anymore, he was used to playing in Zhang Geng's room.

Zhang Geng hasn't come back yet, Zhang Lingyue sat where Zhang Geng usually reads, and also picked up a book and began to read.

Zhang Lingyue was never interested in the books Zhang Geng read.

It's nothing more than magic spells or some corrupt rules and morals in Zhang Lingyue's eyes.

But now Zhang Lingyue suddenly wanted to understand those things for some reason.

It's just that without looking at the two lines of eyelids, they began to droop unapologetically.Zhang Lingyue didn't insist anymore, and simply threw the book aside, lay down and fell asleep.

……

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and Zhang Lingyue sat up abruptly.

He didn't know when he fell asleep on the bed, and he was a light sleeper, so he didn't notice anything last night.

He observed the surrounding furnishings, and after confirming that he was still in Zhang Geng's room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there were some conversational voices outside the door, the voices approached from far away, and Zhang Lingyue recognized that it was Zhang Geng and Ji Ziyu.

The door was opened, Zhang Geng saw Zhang Lingyue who had already sat up, and just said casually, "Lingyue, wake up."

Zhang Lingyue gave a "hmm" and then asked, "When did brother come back?"

Zhang Geng didn't seem to hear, and sat down to continue talking with Ji Ziyu.

"Then this matter will be difficult, what did Hu Huaigu say?"

Ji Ziyu tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, "It's the ones I know, he's said everything he can say."

"He knew the girl was pregnant?"

Ji Ziyu nodded, "Well, he knew. But he never went back. That Xianghong bird, is it true that the girl didn't change it?"

Zhang Geng shook his head, then sighed, "I don't know, this matter needs further investigation."

Ji Ziyu didn't speak, but Zhang Geng suddenly put down his hand on his forehead, "I found out that there isn't an old man in that village?"

Ji Zi wanted to laugh and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know why it is called 'Beautiful Village'?"

Zhang Geng blurted out, "Could it be that the locals know some magic that doesn't age?"

Ji Zi wanted to say, "No! There is no magic spell, but the people there, after their age, they all killed themselves."

Zhang Geng touched his chin with his fingertips, "There is such a custom, I have never heard of it before."

Ji Ziyu also responded, "Yeah, if I hadn't been there a few years ago, I wouldn't know. Brother Zhang, you know what kind of evil we were getting rid of back then."

Zhang Geng said, "At that time, I just regarded it as an ordinary evil spirit, so I didn't ask about it."

"Well, Brother Zhang might not believe me after I told you." Ji Zi wanted to sit up straight, as if he was going to talk about something important, "Actually, there is nothing evil about it, but there is a person who is unwilling to die after the age of forty, so The people there thought that he was possessed by something unclean. We didn't know what to do at the time, but at this time the man was forced to commit suicide, so Hu Huaigu and I just performed rituals for him. Xie Chong, only those brats we met on the way back."

At this time, Zhang Lingyue had packed up and was about to go out, when Zhang Geng suddenly called him, "It's past time for breakfast, what are you doing!"

Zhang Geng's tone didn't seem to be asking simply, Zhang Lingyue was stunned, "Go back to the room."

"and then?"

"Then... I don't know."

"Sit here and listen!" Zhang Geng signaled him to come over, Zhang Lingyue shook his head, "I don't want to listen, I'm leaving."

"Come here!" Zhang Geng stared at him, and Zhang Lingyue was taken aback by the commanding tone, after all, Zhang Geng rarely spoke to him like this.

Zhang Geng continued, "Ziyu and Zhong Guchen are only two or three years older than you. They were able to go out to get rid of evil spirits a few years ago. Look at what you can do!"

what can be doneThis question that Zhang Lingyue often thinks of is still very heart-piercing when he comes out of his mouth.
