…

I had no sleep all night, so I simply got up early and went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. When I was eating, my grandpa still didn't want to talk to me. He just asked Cheng Baize to eat more. Cheng Baize nodded in agreement and looked at me by the way: "Jiaolong, last night

You haven't rested, you look very bad."

I had no appetite, so I stirred the porridge in the bowl: "No, I probably just woke up and have to recover." "It's such a big deal, you can't be hungry. Your body will be better if you don't eat." Grandpa was angry.

He hummed and responded beside him. Although he didn't look at me, I could still see his caring attitude.

I picked up the porridge and took a few sips: "Here we go, I can't starve myself."

Cheng Baize raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly, "Grandpa, please don't get angry with Jiaolong. She must be thinking about you being angry with her, so she won't be able to rest well."

Grandpa snorted softly, "If you are afraid that I will be angry, then you must be obedient. Otherwise, will my mood be better?"

I forced a smile on my face and moved closer to my grandfather: "Grandpa, don't be angry with me. It's not that I don't listen to you. You have to give me time to think about such a big matter, right?"

Grandpa's body is lying there. It's definitely not possible to fight head-on. For now, I think I can only save the country through curves. I'll push it back. I can push it one day at a time. At least I have to make the old man feel happy first. In Grandpa's case,

After getting sick, for the first time, I hoped that he would have a bad memory and forget about this matter.

"Then how long are you going to think about it? It won't work for too long. This Spring Festival..."

"Grandpa, let's eat first. This is Uncle Xu's house, not our own. If anything happens, we can wait until we get back, okay?"

Grandpa looked at me reluctantly, and then said nothing more: "Okay, let's go back and talk about it later. Anyway, my mind has been made up, and there's no point in being stubborn with me."

Sighing secretly in my heart, I glanced at Cheng Baize helplessly, and finally understood what it meant to have a random match!

"Jiaolong, I will go to the riverside to settle this matter at sunset. If you hurry up, you can go back tonight."

"Xiao Bai, what are you going to do? Why are you going to the river?" Grandpa opened his mouth and asked after listening to Cheng Baize's words. Cheng Baize looked at his grandpa with a smile: "Didn't I tell you yesterday afternoon? That riverside

It’s not peaceful. Since something happened to Jiaolong there, we are leaving now. I want to go and have a look and don’t let anyone else have something like this happen again.”

Grandpa nodded: "It's not dangerous, let Jiaolong go with you."

"No need, I can go by myself. Jiaolong's health is not good. It's too cold by the river. She just came back. It's better to stay away from that kind of place."

Cheng Baize responded and looked at me again: "You have a good rest at home, and we will drive back when I come back."

Before I could speak, Zong Bao calmly opened his mouth beside him: "It's dangerous to drive at night, so don't miss this day."

I also nodded, "Yes, let's leave tomorrow morning. Some roads in the village are not easy to walk, and my grandpa can't rest well by car, so we should go back tomorrow morning."

Cheng Baize didn't say much. He probably felt that Zong Bao was a little cold. He looked at him, then at me, and nodded: "Okay."

Li Xiaoshi really wanted to follow him. He said he wanted to help, and he probably wanted to show off. After all, Cheng Baize would not only be his boss in the future, but also his master. However, Cheng Baize seemed to be used to doing things alone when he was a child.

With a solitary style, he looked at Master Li and opened his mouth: "This matter is very small. I will try my best to solve it as quickly as possible. In the future, there will be times when I need your help."

"Oh." Little Master Li grunted, feeling a little depressed.

Zong Bao glanced at him expressionlessly. While holding pickles, he opened his mouth: "Why are you going? I don't need you to cry."

"Hey, I can't just cry!"

"You treat your brother like you don't care about such trivial matters."

"you……"

Just let them stagger, I looked at Cheng Baize: "You really don't need me to go?"

Cheng Baize raised his eyebrows with a smile: "It's just a matter of sealing something. Do you think I can't do it?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, then be careful when you come back for dinner."

…

Maybe it was because I didn't sleep all night. After breakfast, I started to feel sleepy. Then my body felt as heavy as if it was filled with iron and lead. I asked Cheng Baize in a daze to tell me before he left, "Lie down, grandpa."

He fell asleep next to him after a while.

When I fell asleep, I clearly felt that there was energy in my body. At first, I thought this was a normal adaptation after the soul returned to its original position, or it was the normal integration of spiritual energy with the body after drinking ginseng soup, just like

Children seem to grow longer while sleeping. I may have to rely on sleep to slowly recover, but gradually I felt something was wrong. When these few bursts of energy started to tear, it felt extremely painful. I felt like I was talking to myself.

I was clenching my teeth and my limbs were stiff and erect. Even in my sleep, I could feel that I was sweating profusely. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. In the haze, I seemed to see Cheng Baize entering the place where I was sleeping.

house, and then——

"Jiaolong, Jiaolong, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh...ah!!"

I was so depressed that I finally screamed and sat down on the kang suddenly to catch my breath. I was breathing heavily. In my dream, it was like I had a fight with myself, and then I wanted to wake up at the last moment.

After defeating the other self who wanted to sleep, my thickened shirt was soaked with sweat. I glanced at Xiaoshi Li and Zong Bao who were standing by the edge of the kang and looking at me in confusion. I wiped my head.

I'm sweating, what's going on!

"Jiaolong, are you okay?" Grandpa patted my back gently: "Are you dreaming?"

I shook my head, "It's okay." I opened the quilt and went straight to the floor to put on my shoes: "Where's Cheng Baize."

"He's been gone for a while."

I turned around and glanced at the half-dark sky outside the window. Oops, I've slept!

Thinking about it, I took my coat and started to walk out. My grandfather called me from behind: "Jiaolong! Where are you going!"

"I'm not going anywhere, getting ready to cook!!"

I responded and walked to the room where I slept before. After tossing around a few times, Zong Bao followed me: "What are you looking for?"

"Where's the shroud I wore before?"

"It seems to have been taken away by Cheng Baize."

"He took it?"

My movements paused, and it turned out that what I saw in my dream was real. Feng Shuigui, what did he do with my shroud?!

Thinking about it, I looked at Zong Bao: "Zong Bao, I'm going out. If my grandpa asks, just tell me that I went to Uncle Xu's sister's house and I have to leave tomorrow morning. I'll say hello. Also, if

Cheng Baize came back before me, you have to say the same thing..."

"Are you going to find Cheng Baize? I'll go with you."

"Need not."

After saying these two words, I ran outside. I don't know if it was because I wanted to wake up and win the battle. My body is obviously much lighter now than yesterday, at least I can move freely.

In fact, even if Cheng Baize didn't take away my shroud, my previous plan was to go up to the mountain to bury my shroud next to my grandma and then go find him. After all, I said I couldn't beat Fengxia, so this matter is a bit uncertain, I'm afraid.

Cheng Baize couldn't block her, and he also hurt his energy by going down there to find me. Don't suffer any more losses. More importantly, I still wonder how Fengxia came out. There are too many confusing things that I have to figure out.

But I know that if I say that this body is not suitable for contact with these things now, Cheng Baize will definitely disagree. Instead of worrying about him with ink and ink, it is better to figure it out secretly. If he seals it smoothly, then I

I would just figure out the ins and outs, come back secretly, and pretend that nothing happened. If things didn't go well for him, I could help him directly.

I didn't drive, so I was out of breath all the way. It was very cold, and the wind from the north was strong, which hurt my face. It was already dark early in winter, and when I ran to the river,

, the sky was already dark, I used the clear moonlight to look towards the riverside, and there were actually two people standing in the distance!

How come there are two people?

With my waist bent, I slowly moved inside. Blocked by the withered grass among the rocks by the river, I slowly lay down on the ground like a thief. Their backs were to me, and the wind was blowing.

Suddenly, the withered grass made a rustling sound. I pulled the grass aside and carefully identified the man standing next to Cheng Baize. It wasn't until the wind blew up his robe that I realized that the man was not wearing what I was wearing.

That shroud?!

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Baize suddenly asked the man to face me. I took a breath of air-conditioning. Where was the person? It was a very simple scarecrow wearing my shroud! What was Cheng Baize doing for the scarecrow to wear my shroud? This is not the normal way to seal a ghost.

Steps, is he going to set up some formation that I haven't seen before?

Just as I was thinking about it, Cheng Baize seemed to be drawing something on the scarecrow's body with his hand. It was too far away and I couldn't see clearly. I vaguely felt that he should be mumbling something. Then, Cheng Baize's hand suddenly lit up with a flash of red.

Yinghuo, I was startled. Is it an invitation talisman?

Just when I wasn't sure what he was going to do, I saw him circling the lighted talisman three times around the scarecrow's head, and then threw the scarecrow vigorously into the river. I instantly understood that he was using me to 'fish!'

The so-called 'fishing' is to force them to show up for hand-to-hand combat with something they hate. That shroud was worn by me, and it has my popularity on it. Cheng Baize threw it into the water to provoke her by using the fact that I was not dead.

, or it can be said to anger her and make Fengxia think that the scarecrow is me. Then Cheng Baize caught Fengxia the moment she came out to catch this 'me'!

I just don't understand what he wants to do when he catches Fengxia. He just needs to seal her inside tightly. If she can't get out, she won't harm others. Thinking about it, I'm in the grass barley.

I crept forward secretly in his direction, trying to get a clearer view, but when I touched it, I actually caught something. I picked it up and saw that it was a bad shoe. I was about to throw it away, but I realized something was wrong.

Although the shoes were completely rotten, I took a closer look at them under the moonlight, and my mind carefully recalled the scene when my grandma and I buried the shoes...

"It belongs to Fengxia..."

"ah!!!!!!"

Before I could finish reciting, a shrill scream came over me. When I looked up, the moonlight suddenly disappeared, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and a sharp cool wind like the tip of a knife blew past.

I couldn't help but shudder, "I'm so angry."

I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could clearly hear the roar of the river and the accompanying scream of the woman. The scream was extremely painful, and it was even more shrill in the cold wind. There was a 'click'!

A flash of lightning suddenly struck in the sky. At the brightest moment, I clearly saw the scene in front of me. I opened my eyes unconsciously and opened my mouth slightly: "Cheng Baize..."
