Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

The gloomy voice rolled into their ears along with a gust of cool wind.

As soon as Su Xiyan looked up, he found that the mountain road suddenly changed, it was desolate, gloomy and desolate, the sky was gloomy, there were no other shelters around, and only a lonely grave facing the two of them could be seen.

Impressively written on the tombstone were words such as "Daughter Tang Xiaoxiao". A bright red liquid was flowing out of the grave bag, and the desolate wind carried an indescribable chill and bloody smell.

There was a pale hand clasped tightly on Su Xiyan's ankle, which was so cold to the bone.

"You two guests, after passing through his house, you must leave something behind."

Su Xiyan quickly mobilized the aura in his body to resist the biting yin energy coming from his ankles, cursing in his heart that the ghost who came ahead was cheating his father.

It was just a face-to-face meeting, but the aura leaking from this Tang Xiaoxiao was already comparable to the Yun Xiaoye he had seen before.

All ghosts are strong and weak. The more resentful the ghost, the more fierce it will be after death, and it is easy to change its sexuality.Yun Xiaoye was gentle by nature, and after being humiliated and died, he became a fierce ghost who could kill people without blinking in the live broadcast.

However, she committed suicide, even if she used the locust wood essence to increase her strength, her aura is not particularly fierce.

But this Tang Xiaoxiao...

Judging from the level of ferocity, it is definitely one of the best ghosts Su Xiyan has ever met.

It's so fierce, no wonder the ghost messenger who came earlier just ran away as if he didn't see it.Of course, it is also possible that Tang Xiaoxiao deliberately hid it from him, but there are always some abnormalities, but the ghost messenger didn't say anything.

Su Xiyan secretly gritted his teeth and was about to go back to make a small report. With a movement of Cui Zhao's wrist, his soul arresting lock had already sprung out quickly, and he whipped viciously towards the grave like a snake.

Humans have yang houses, ghosts have yin houses.

People spend half their lives repaying the house, so ghosts will not let people touch their graves.

Ghosts who lost their tombs are similar to lonely ghosts. They have to endure Fengshui and rain every day, and their souls cannot rest in peace.

Under normal circumstances, Cui Zhao is absolutely besieging Wei to save Zhao, and to seize the key point.But this Tang Xiaoxiao had no intention of letting go at all.Half of her grave was cut off, and she climbed up a few points without any reaction.

Feeling those cold fingers bouncing across his body, Su Xiyan lowered her head, and the bright yellow talisman had unconsciously surrounded the position under his feet.

"Let go, if you don't let go, I'll call you molested again."

The talisman paper burned, and invisible power surged.The pale hand froze for a moment, then reluctantly let go, stretched out the red sleeves, and a woman in a red dress appeared in front of them.

"According to the routine, shouldn't I say that no one will come to rescue you even if you shout out your throat?"

Cui Zhao let out a cold snort of displeasure.

"Am I not human?"

"Whether you are human or not, you know better than me."

Tang Xiao smiled and pointed at the road behind them when they just came. When Cui Zhao turned into a prototype and jumped around, she saw it all.

Su Xiyan reached out his hand in time to grab Cui Zhao who was about to jump out, and his eyes turned around Tang Xiaoxiao.

The bright red skirt, embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes, has heavy makeup, and there is a strong touch of red around the corners of the eyes and lips.

The female ghost in red has a lot of resentment.

"What do you want us to do?"

If she hadn't shown up on her own initiative, Cui Zhao and Su Xiyan would not have found her so easily.There are rumors in the underworld that the king who becomes a ghost must be dressed in red.

This is not to say that the ghosts who become ghost kings must all wear red clothes, but that the ghosts who can become ghost kings must have similar initial grievances and levels as Tang Xiaoxiao.Red clothes refer to clothes stained red with resentment and blood.

"Of course I came here for the following things," Tang Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Have you discovered my sister's living soul?"

"I saw it, and I am preparing to help recall it."

Su Xiyan's face didn't change. In fact, they were not sure when they came up, and they were still casting a wide net among the three.It's good that Tang Xiaoxiao can help you settle down now, it's convenient and easy, and you don't have to do one thing three times.

"Recall?" Tang Xiaoxiao laughed inexplicably, "That's fine, I'll let you guys try."

"I know why you are here, and I don't need to interfere in the affairs there, but I want you to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"Let my father dig my grave with his own hands."

"..."

"That's your father."

"What are you thinking? I don't intend to kill him." Tang Xiaoxiao flicked his sleeves, walked to the side of the mountain, and stared at the familiar building of the sanatorium below the mountain.

"Kill him, my sister will be sad."

A sigh floated in the wind, Tang Xiaoxiao seemed to say something in a very low voice, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and fled into the grave.There was only a small cloth bag left in place.

When I picked it up, I saw a few ordinary silver needles inside.

"What does it mean?"

"Drug test, it seems that there is some commotion over there tonight."

Cui Zhao stretched his waist, the soul lock wrapped around his waist was faintly colored with blood, and the tomb over there had been cut into a square shape by him unconsciously.

"The female ghost in red is just difficult to deal with. She said she wanted us to help, but she has been making dirty tricks underneath."

"Su Xiyan, you can't be fooled by her appearance, you know? These ghosts who retain their sanity are the worst to deal with. They say one thing and do another."

"Okay, okay, got it."

Under the sun, the shadows of the two were mottled by the leaves, and it looked like a cat squatting on a person's shoulder.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Cui Zhao suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"While it's still early, let's pick chestnuts, Yanyan!"

"The chestnut trees in this mountain may have been planted by others, we are so rash..."

"It's okay, just let Qin Sangang talk to them, I know what you're worried about, just pay double the money. Let's go!"

"But……"

Su Xiyan couldn't refuse, but was dragged away by Cui Zhao.

Compared with the tombs here, the forest over there is much more alive. The people in the nursing home seem to have planted a lot of edible fruit trees here.There is also a sign card inserted on the edge of the fruit forest, which roughly means that you can ask the administrator at the foot of the mountain to buy a ticket to go in, and then pick whatever you want.

But now more than half of the employees in the nursing home have gone back, and the administrators have disappeared.Su Xiyan looked at the sign, stuffed the ticket money for two people, and then followed up the mountain with the bag.

It should be mentioned that...

The small bag that Cui Zhao mentioned is really... small.

I don't know where he borrowed the snakeskin bag for the big bag of rice.

The last of the two was carrying a bag on his back, and he was wearing a straw hat that was placed there by someone, looking like an old farmer in the mountains.When Qin San just bumped into them, he almost didn't recognize them.

He came to inform them. He heard that it was possible to wake up his relatives. The relatives of several patients were very cooperative, and basically all of them were able to arrive before the evening call.

The hospital also specially moved the three patients to a ward for the soul-calling ceremony, and prepared all the other necessary things. Qin Sangang went to the battle to call out the souls himself.

Looking at his expectant eyes, Cui Zhao didn't say anything, and handed over an old-fashioned lantern with a flick of his wrist. The white thin paper pasted on the outside had many holes, and even the skeleton was crooked a lot. It felt like a little force Just crush it.

Qin Sangang received it ecstatically, held it carefully in his hand, turned around and happily arranged it.

This paper lantern is a magic weapon that can attract souls from the underworld, the soul-gathering lamp.This kind of magic weapon is a one-time product, and it can only be used by old craftsmen after they are made and placed in the soul pile for several years.

There are basically not many people in the world who can do it now, and it is not that Quanzhen does not have magic tools for summoning souls, but the effect is not as good as this seemingly ordinary paper lantern.That's why Qin San was so happy holding it. It's hard to find such magical weapons recorded in classics. He has them in his master's school, but he definitely won't let them such rookies use them.

It's still rich and powerful in the underworld, and I hope to be able to change careers after death!

Neither Cui Zhao nor Su Xiyan told anyone else what Tang Xiaoxiao said. Since the ghost is cunning, what he said may not be correct.Secondly, what does the bag of silver needles represent, if someone really poisoned...

The only ones who can do this now are those sect disciples.In this case, it is even more impossible to startle the snake.

Among the family members of the three patients, the one who has not yet arrived is the director of the nursing home. He and his wife are on the plane at this time, and they will arrive at about five or six in the evening.Cui Zhao and Su Xiyan had nothing else to do, so they simply found a place to toss chestnuts.

After investigation, they discovered that the sanatorium not only provided guests with an orchard for recreational collection, but also materials that they could fry by themselves.

The complete equipment is comparable to a farmhouse base!

It's no wonder that this nursing home has been open until now, and it's getting bigger and bigger and more prosperous.This kind of business mind is flexible and changeable, and can use various means to get money from customers, and the other party will be willing.

There are tutorials and experienced staff guidance. Cui Zhao's sugar-fried chestnuts are very successful.Sitting in a small pavilion by the lake, peeling chestnuts, eating oiled persimmons, and grabbing a handful of melon seeds, I live happily ever after.

Su Xiyan laughed at Cui Zhao while eating melon seeds. The chestnuts they picked were enough for the two of them, but raw chestnuts cannot be fried directly.They had to let it dry for a longer period of time. In desperation, they had to replace the cooked chestnuts that the employees had dried before with raw chestnuts.

The good thing is that they can eat a lot of chestnut dishes for dinner tonight. It is said that the chef's chestnut stewed chicken is a unique skill, and I am looking forward to it.

Happy times always fly by so fast. In the evening, Cui Zhao, who was eating melon seeds, welcomed the dean and his wife who had arrived.

They were a pair of very temperamental middle-aged men and women. They looked a little dusty, and there was an unconcealable sadness on their faces.Thinking of the scumbag who was mentioned in the news and has not yet been sentenced for poisoning, it is estimated that they are busy with this these days.

In the dead of night, the soul-finding ceremony officially began.

The dean and his wife were the first to hold special spells in their hands, watching Qin Sangang in Taoist robes wield a mahogany sword, and kept shaking the bell in his right hand.

Stepping on the seven-star step, igniting the soul-gathering lamp, and calling back the living soul with the fetters of blood relatives.

After finishing a set of footwork, Qin Sangang suddenly opened his eyes, and the voice of Cangmang with some inexplicable rhythm sounded.

"The soul is back! Go to the king's constant work, what is the Quartet?"

"Give up the pleasure of the king, and be far away from him!..."

"The soul is back!"

The soul-gathering lamp covering Tang Yiyi's head suddenly ignited automatically, and everyone was overjoyed.Qin Sangang also had a strong look of joy in his eyes. After reading a section of "Songs of Chu", he winked at the dean and his wife.

Tang Yiyi's mother left crying and whimpering.

"Yiyi, come back!"

"Don't run outside, mom misses you, come back and see mom!"

…………

The sound of jingling bells was mixed with the heart-piercing cries of a mother, and the rest of the people were silent, staring at the surroundings.

Finally, at the end of the corridor came a figure in a white dress.

Her plain face was facing the sky, her eyes were wandering, and she looked exactly like Tang Yiyi on the hospital bed.

"Yiyi, you're back, you're really back."

Tang's mother was crying and laughing, and when she was agitated, she reached out to grab the figure's hand. Before everyone could stop her, they saw that "Tang Yiyi" put his hand aside indifferently.

"I'm not Tang Yiyi, I'm Tang Xiaoxiao."
