I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

When Ning Caichen came back at night, he brought back a bunch of delicious food for Ji Zihe.Ji Zihe bit his chicken leg and told him what happened during the day, Ning Caichen touched his chin, "You are right, that kind of people are not easy to get along with at first glance, it is best not to get too involved with them."

"I gave that servant two pancakes." Ji Zihe said.

"What are you going to do with pancakes for them? What if they blackmail us? It's said that Shengmi fights Mihou. If the servant asks you for food tomorrow, will you give it or not?" Ning Caichen said.

"I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that if the servant couldn't get food, the scholar would definitely beat and scold him." Ji Zihe said.

Ning Caichen patted him on the head, "Then have you thought about the future? Even if he avoids this beating, he will still be beaten in places where you can't see him."

"I definitely can't help where I can't see it, but I can't help where I can see it. What's the difference between that and a beast. I don't care what happens in the future, as long as I have no regrets in my heart."

"You have no shame in your heart. If you become an official in the future, don't forget these four words!" Ning Caichen laughed.

Ji Zihe nodded half-understanding, served with steamed cakes, his mouth was full of oil.

At night, Ji Zihe wanted to go to the toilet again, but he found the toilet during the day.It's just that the latrine in this temple has not been used for a long time, it is really dirty, and no one sees it at night anyway, so Ji Zihe went to the bamboo forest and unbuttoned his pants to relieve himself.

Suddenly, his little chirp chirped, and Ji Zihe lowered his head, only to find a pale hand stretched out from the bamboo next to him, grabbing his little brother of fate.

With a pale face, Ji Zihe watched a disheveled ghost protruding from the bamboo, not daring to move, not daring to move.

"You dare to piss on the place where my bones are buried. Tell me, should I chop off your evil root or chop it off?" The ghost was dressed in white and was wet all over, holding onto Ji Zihe's little Jiji with one hand. , pinching his neck with one hand.

"I'm sorry, big brother, please forgive me!" Ji Zihe's short legs were shaking and shaking, what should I do, this ghost is very fierce at first sight!

"You want me to spare you, okay, why do you want me to spare you?"

Ji Zihe's head was knotted for a moment, but he couldn't think of anything, and said in a hurry, "How about I pick up your bones and wash them, and they will be clean after washing!"

After talking about Ji Zihe, he wanted to slap himself, what kind of bad idea is this.

Unexpectedly, this ghost really started to think about the feasibility of this proposal, and finally decided, "Yes, you can wash my bones and take them with you."

"Bring it on your body?" What's the point of this?

"Why do you ask so many questions? If you ask me again, I will cut off your evil roots right now, then peel off your skin, eat your flesh, and turn you into a lonely ghost!" the ghost threatened.

Ji Zihe immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Then big brother, where are your bones?"

"It's just under this bamboo, you just need to dig." The ghost let go of his hand and said.

Ji Zihe quickly pulled up his pants and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Quick work." The ghost urged.

"Yes, yes." Ji Zihe resignedly picked up a piece of broken tile, and began to dig in the soil.After digging for a long time, I found a small hole and did not see a bone, only a piece of wood with the length of a thumb.

Ji Zihe took out the wood and planned to throw it aside, but was stopped by the ghost, "Wait, this is my bone."

Ji Zihe stopped when he was about to throw the wood, and quickly held the thing preciously, "Big brother, are you sure this is your bone?"

"Well, this looks like a small part of the spine. It has been corroded by the wind and rain for too many years." The ghost commented on his bones.

Hearing what he said, Ji Zihe looked at it again, and it really looked like a bone.Now that the first bone was dug up, the other bones must not be far away. Ji Zihe cheered himself up, put the bone aside, and continued digging.

"No need to dig, there are no bones here." The ghost said suddenly.

Ji Zihe was puzzled, "Then where are the rest of your bones?"

"How did I know, this is the only bone here. Go and wash me, I feel very uncomfortable now." The ghost said disgustedly.

"Oh." Ji Zihe picked up the bone, walked down the steps, and washed the bone in the pool.

The wild lotus leaves in the pool are intertwined and look a little oozing.Ji Zihe washed the bones in the pool, and hurried away from the pool.

"What are you afraid of?" asked the ghost.

"I think there's something bad in that pool."

"It's just a wild lotus spirit. There's nothing to be afraid of." The ghost said disdainfully, "I can kill it with one finger."

"But you don't have fingers now, you only have a bone." Ji Zihe suddenly inserted a knife, and the ghost glared at him viciously. Ji Zihe quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and looked at him with wide eyes. How innocent is innocent.

"Smelly boy, I'm going back to sleep. Remember, you have to take my bones with you. If you dare to lose them, I'll eat you." The ghost said quietly, turning into a wisp of white smoke and flying into Jizi In the bone in Wo's hand.

Ji Zihe looked at the bone in his hand under the moonlight, it looked like a piece of rotten wood.I heard from old ghosts that people become ghosts after death. If the body is not buried properly, they will become lonely ghosts and cannot even be reincarnated.Bones are closely related to ghosts. A ghost without bones is really pitiful.Moreover, the old ghost said that boy urine can ward off evil spirits, and if he poured water on him, it must have hurt him very much. He was responsible for him, not because he was afraid of his revenge.

Ji Zihe thought about it, found a good reason for himself, put the bone in his pocket, and went back to sleep.

On the second day, a terrible thing happened.

Ning Caichen didn't plan to go out today, he wanted to support Ji Zihe here.Although he did not practice martial arts as Ji Zihe said, he was a man anyway, so he couldn't even protect a child.

In the morning, the servants from the opposite house hurried over. When Ning Caichen saw it, he gave Ji Zihe a look.Look, I found it again.

Ji Zihe didn't speak, and quietly hid behind Ning Caichen.

"What are you doing here again?" Ning Caichen asked with an unkind expression.

"Two young masters, please help me, go and see my master." The servant knelt down on the ground and begged.

"What happened to your son?"

"I don't know either." The servant hesitated and evaded, "When I opened the door in the morning, I saw my young master lying on the ground, no longer breathing."

Ning Caichen looked at the servant suspiciously and became wary of him.

"Your son is dead, if you don't report to the officials, what's the use of looking for us?"

"Can't report to the official! Can't report to the official!" The servant shouted.

"Could it be that your son is not dead, and you are trying to trick us into going there, setting a trap in the East Monastery, and will harm us when we go over?" Ning Caichen glared.

"I'm wronged, my young master did go, but he left in a disgraceful way, I'm afraid that it will hurt his face if it is spread." The servant kowtowed a few more times.

"Oh, what happened?"

"I don't know. Last night, I seemed to hear a woman's teasing laughter in the house. When I entered the door this morning, my young master was lying on the ground naked, with a mess under his body, and he seemed to be absolutely fine."

Ning Caichen suddenly thought of the woman who groped into his room the day before yesterday, and had some thoughts in his mind, "Then I'll let you go and have a look, Zihe, you stay here, and if there is anything wrong, you can report to the police .”

Ji Zihe nodded, and the servant quickly got up from the ground, "Thank you, Mr. Thank you, Mr. Xie."

Ning Caichen and the servant went to the monk's house in the east.
