Chapter 12 The boy with red cloth shoes(1/2)
After moving slowly in the town for various reasons, when you get to the mountain, it’s like you’re at Yu Xing’s happy hometown, you can come at his speed.
The hills closer to the town are covered with traces of human activities. Some people plant vegetables on the mountain, some people cut trees to do wooden work, and some people also set up graves there, with graves scattered in pieces.
Yu Xing brought three corpses to a place where human traces were scarce. Anyway, Li Huaihua's family was dead, and even the only neighbor, the aunt, was killed. No one would come to worship her. Just find a quiet place, at least not to be disturbed by humans.
He didn't need a shovel to dig a grave. A few rotten roots that he had caught were drilling like earthworms in the soil, breaking out of the ground, and within a short while, two grave pits were cleared out.
One is for Aunt Zhang and the other is for Li Huaihua and Xiao Magnolia.
Xiao Yulan wanted to be buried with her mother, but she said that her mother could not come back for the time being, at least she wanted to see their bodies reunited.
Yu Xing weaves two coffins with plants in the forest. When the branches and vines are pressed so tightly, their hardness should not be underestimated.
Zhao Ruru helped, put the coffin into the pit, the body into the coffin, and then covered it layer by layer and sealed it.
Two slightly raised small graves settled down in this deserted and quiet place.
Xiao Malan squatted beside her and her mother's grave, and finally reached out and touched her. She patted the soil gently with no idea of how she felt. Her technique was gentle, just like a mother coaxing her child to sleep.
Now it is the child who is coaxing his mother to sleep.
After doing all this, the two of them didn't stop for too long and returned to the town without stopping.
At this time, the hourglass timing in the lower right corner of Yu Xing is displayed at 10 o'clock in the evening.
He had been wasting a lot of time. If it weren't for the episode of Li Huaihua, he would have walked straight towards the Zhao Mansion. Now it's probably already here.
"Huh, although I didn't do anything, I really have to work hard." Zhao Ruru stepped onto the streets of the town again, breathed a sigh of relief, and then chuckled, "Then I will act alone later. After all, we both received the same task. If we were still together, the progress of the task would definitely not be able to reach a distance, and you wouldn't think about it, right?"
Seeing that Zhao Ruru showed unconcealed interest in hidden tasks, Yu Xing asked: "Don't you want to find a fighter?"
"Oh, you can find clues while looking for a fighter, so there is no conflict or conflict." Zhao Ruru put his hands behind his back, pretending to be old-fashioned, "Did you find the benefits of me, a fortune teller, and you can't bear to leave?"
"You originally wanted to follow me, but you still act like you get the advantage." Yu Xing tsk twice. In fact, he doesn't care that Zhao Ruru and Ru have different ways. If you act together, you will play their own roles, and if you act alone, you will be free and easy.
Zhao Ruru stood there and waved his hand, with a cunning look on his face. It was hard to remember whether she had already calculated some clues based on the hexagrams.
Now I don’t want Yu Xing to get a share of the pie, so I chose to speak at this time.
Yu Xing ignored her and left with Xiao Yulan in her arms. Zhao Ruru did not follow him, and his smart eyes watched him in the dark.
"Does that sister have a secret?" Xiao Yulan also saw something wrong. Her cold soul body was locked firmly in the bend of her arms. She put a small hand on Yu Xing's shoulder and the other hand grabbed the collar of his chest.
Wow, that sister would get ice when she touched her head, but this big brother was willing to hug her!
"Yes, this is the world of dirty adults." Yu Xing replied with a chuckling and walked back towards the Zhao Mansion.
He just made fun of it, not thinking that Zhao Ruru's approach was not honest.
It is normal for human nature. If you don’t have a good eye, you can’t get more opportunities to become stronger. Moreover, he may not be able to get the clues that Zhao Ruru can find.
Xiao Malan was thinking about the so-called adult world, thinking that fortunately she would never be able to become an adult.
After lying stiffly in the terrifying elder brother's arms for a while, the little Magnolia's nerves were as cautious as a hedgehog gradually relaxed, and her round chin was also placed on Yu Xing's shoulder.
After my father died, no one hugged her like this. My mother often hugged her, but her posture was different.
It's been a long time since she was surrounded by such a strong arm, which was harder than her father's. No wonder she beat her so hard just now.
Xiao Malan thought so and turned to look at Yu Xing's face.
Their heads were very close, and Yu Xing looked ahead and ignored her little movements.
Xiao Yulan thought to herself that although this big brother is terrible, it is quite good when he is not.
How great it would be if it weren't a living person.
Without Zhao Ruru, a noisy girl, Yu Xing was too lazy to start the topic. Each person and ghost suddenly fell silent, and occasionally he would see some lanterns reflecting ghosts on the wall whispering.
Those shadow topics are much more normal, mostly talking about gossip about high-ranking and wealthy businesses, and there are also interesting things that happen in the market every day.
There is a ghost who even knows that the price of cabbage increased by a penny of copper coins during the morning market, but I don’t know where I heard it.
Yu Xing walked slowly along the way and collected many little secrets that could not be told directly by living people. For ordinary people, hearing ghosts chatting in the middle of the night may be frightened, but for the deducer, the ghosts on the walls all over the city are dispersed versions of teahouse information!
There are many other limited information about ghosts.
When he heard this, he almost forgot that there was a little girl in his arms.
Children are always idle. If their mouths are closed, they must be thinking about all kinds of things in their minds, and the same is true for children with resentful spirits.
As soon as he climbed two steps and turned into a wider alley, Yu Xing suddenly said to Xiao Yulan: "Big Brother, it turns out that you and that big sister are not husband and wife."
After being silent for so long, Xiao Malan finally realized it later.
Yu Xing came back to his senses, was stunned by this unexpected problem, and then said with a hilarious feeling: "Why do you think so?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He and Zhao Ruru can walk a distance from each other, and have never mentioned any titles such as wife and husband. His words and deeds are not ambiguous, so how can this child be regarded as a husband and wife? I just realized it wasn't it?
"Only couples can travel together at night, otherwise they will be caught by others, but they will have a private meeting?" Xiao Yulan said naively, "When I was in the yard, I heard the bad uncle on the wall say you--"
"Tsk." Yu Xing held Xiao Yulan's butt and made her shut up urgently, "Did you listen to all the big sister's scolding?"
Little Magnolia: "I heard it all."
Yu Xing: "..." Sin.
If they knew there was a child in the house at that time, they would have angered the ghosts on the wall in another way.
But since Magnolia can hear everything, why did Aunt Zhang come to Li Huaihua so many times and was stopped by ghosts on the wall, so Magnolia didn't come out to take a look?
He asked this question.
Compared with the atmosphere of interrogation before, after finding out where Li Huaihua's soul was and burying her corpse, the atmosphere between them was much easier, like chatting.
Xiao Yulan was no longer nervous and said casually: "I just want to stay with my mother, it doesn't matter whether Grandma Zhang comes or not. And I was so angry at that time, and it was different from now."
Yu Xing guessed that Xiao Yulan was angry, which should be the concentration of resentment.
There are differences between tranquility and chaos in resentment. When the resentment is too strong or the emotions are too extreme, it will be even more difficult for the resentment to control himself and will fall into resentment and cannot wake up. Little Magnolia Pure is beaten to the point of "sober".
I'm afraid that at the beginning, Xiao Yulan wanted to do nothing except guarding her mother and her own body. Even Aunt Zhang, who tried to help when her mother was bullied, was no different from a stone on the roadside to her.
After walking for a while, Yu Xing vaguely felt the temperature getting colder.
The surrounding environment is no different. This area seems to have many shops. Even if it is a shop without people at night, it will be hang a lamp.
He seemed to feel something, and did not stop, and asked by the way, "By the way, when you saw me and the older sister just now, did you think there was any difference between us?"
"...It was no different when we first met, we all wanted to kill it." Xiao Yulan's answer was very real.
Hmm.
It seems that cotton thread is not the small prop mentioned in the rules. Zhao Ruru tied cotton thread and did not tie cotton thread, and the hatred level in the eyes of ghosts is the same.
After walking a few more steps, a creaking sound came from Yu Xing's ear.
He turned his head slightly and saw a shop that seemed to be selling pastries, with a gap open to the door.
The crack in the door was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything inside. Even the plaque on the shop seemed silly.
"Was any careless shop owner forgot to lock the door?" Yu Xing murmured to himself. Xiao Yulan wanted to say something, but he pressed her head unintentionally, and her mouth pressed against her shoulders and could no longer be opened.
He walked straight past the pastry shop without any attention. The cold wind blew, making the red paper cut posted on the shop window rustling.
About ten meters away, a gray little cloth tiger rolled out from the side of the curb, the size of a palm, and I don't know who left it behind.
When Yu Xing walked there, the Bu Tiger was blown away by the wind again, and just rolled to his feet.
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and picked up the cloth tiger.
Traditional handmade children's toys are nothing special except for the dim color.
He raised the little cloth tiger and asked Xiao Malan: "Do you want it?"
Little Magnolia: "…"
Although their family went from being wealthy to being very poor after their father's death, their mother had never picked up things that others wanted to use as toys for her.
This is too impoverished.
"I don't want it, you give it to that little brother." She pointed.
Since she was hugged in Yu Xing's arms, the one in front of her corresponds to Yu Xing's back.
This stretched out his hand and pointed behind Yu Xing.
Yu Xing turned around after hearing this.
The empty streets were not very clean, and the rotten leaves that the vegetables sold were not cleaned up were still left on the ground, soft and rotten into a pool.
Streets in ancient times have always been like this. If there is no good control, it is normal to be dirty.
When Yu Xing walked on the street, his soles would also be covered with a lot of filth that could not be seen from the source.
And on this dirty ground, on the road that Yu Xing had just walked, a dirty boy grew up.
Although the boy didn't look like a beggar, his whole body was shrouded in a dull tone from beginning to end. He had patches on his brown shirt, his messy short hair was chaotic, and his exposed face and hands could not tell the original complexion.
He was thin and thin, with a hunched back slightly, and could only reach Yu Xing's chest, which was about 1.6 meters tall.
As soon as Yu Xing turned around, he met the boy face to face.
Just now, there was no sound of footsteps behind him, and I don’t know when the boy followed him.
