"Young students, this is my residence. You and your daughter will make do with it for today. I have also tidied up the rooms. They are all clean and habitable."
The old village chief took Lin Qian into the old house. The old house was very spacious and well maintained. Although it looked old, it looked like it was cleaned frequently and was very clean.
Entering the old house, you will see a small courtyard. A plum tree with lush foliage is planted on the west side of the courtyard. There are stone tables and benches under the plum tree. Not far away is a covered well.
At this moment, a man and two women were sitting on the stone bench, and the three of them were chatting with each other. The three of them were all young, only in their early twenties, and looked about the same age as Lin Qian.
The man was wearing a somewhat loose down jacket. He had a slender figure and a clean appearance, giving him a gentle and elegant look.
The two girls were wearing two white down jackets and white and flesh-colored warm stockings on their legs.
They have long hair down to their waists and good looks. They are both good-looking types. Both girls have very attractive temperaments. One has a gentle demeanor, while the other is more lively and carefree.
This can be seen from the conversation between them and the boy. I don't know what funny thing the boy said, which made the two girls laugh at the same time.
At this moment, the old village chief walked in with Lin Qian and his daughter. The three people's voices suddenly stopped and they all looked here.
When they saw the old village chief coming in with Lin Qian and Coco, their eyes suddenly changed. The boy's eyes were a little wary, even with a hint of hostility, while the two girls' eyes lit up with brilliance.
.
"Yu Hua, Chen Xi, and Zhou Min got lost while traveling in the mountains like you. He will stay here for one night, and he will follow you out of the mountains tomorrow."
"I see that he is about the same age as you, so I will let him come with you. I believe you will be able to chat."
The old village chief smiled and introduced the reason why Lin Qian lived here to the three of them. Hearing what the old village chief said, Yu Hua had some doubts in his eyes. He stared at the little girl sitting on Lin Qian's shoulders, feeling a little weird.
Chen Xi and Zhou Min, on the other hand, had a touch of surprise in their eyes, staring at Lin Qian, with some thoughts in their hearts.
"Young man, your room is over there. You can just go in and live in it at night. Old man, I still have some things to deal with. I will be back in a while."
"If you have any problems, just come to me and I can basically solve it."
Following the direction of the old man's finger, Lin Qian saw the room near the well and nodded:
"Well, thank you, old village chief. If anything happens, I will come to you. I hope you won't find it troublesome then."
The old village chief waved his hand:
"Hey, it's not a bother. I'm very happy to be able to help you, old man. Okay, I have to go. If you need anything, just say hello. I'll help you if I can."
Lin Qian nodded, stared at the old village chief's numb face, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.
The old village chief opened the door and left. Lin Qian looked around the yard, focusing on the plum tree. To be precise, it was the dead bones wrapped under the plum tree.
"Little brother, you are so handsome. My name is Zhou Min. I don't know what my little brother's name is. Can you tell me?"
Zhou Min stood up from the stone bench, brushed a strand of black hair behind her ear, and spoke in a brisk voice.
Hearing Zhou Min's words, Yu Hua's eyes flickered slightly, his face was very calm, and he turned to Chen Xi out of the corner of his eye and saw the look of expectation in her eyes, and her face was a little gloomy.
Lin Qian looked at Zhou Min with a calm expression. He couldn't arouse the slightest interest in a beauty like Zhou Min. It might have been possible in the past, but now, haha, at this time, are you going to fall in love with me?
"My name is Lin Qian, are you okay?"
After thinking about it, Lin Qian still answered Zhou Min's question. After all, he thought it would be a good idea to satisfy some of the curiosity of a dead person.
"Lin Qian, Lin Qian, that's a really good name, it sounds nice."
Zhou Min looked at Lin Qian without blinking, with a smile on his face.
Lin Qian did not answer Zhou Min's words, but patted Coco's little feet:
"Coco, have you seen that plum tree? You can pick as much as you want. If you can't finish it, dad will take the tree back."
Lin Qian's voice was so low that Zhou Min and the others didn't hear it. After hearing what her father said, Coco's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Yeah, Coco knows."
As he said that, he jumped down from Lin Qian's shoulders and ran towards the plum tree with great speed.
Lin Qian pushed up his glasses, came to the well, opened the lid, and looked into the well. When he saw the scene in the well clearly, Lin Qian had a smile in his eyes:
"Good guy, one ghost, two ghost slaves, you are really lucky."
After Zhou Min and Chen Xi saw Lin Qian's strange behavior, they couldn't help but be curious, and walked to Lin Qian and looked into the well.
But there was nothing. There was nothing in the well except the crystal clear water.
"Brother Lin, what are you looking at? There is nothing in this well." Zhou Min asked curiously.
Lin Qian closed the well cover and shook her head without telling them the truth:
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen a well in the countryside for a long time. Now that I see it, I just want to take a look."
"Oh, is that so?"
Zhou Min and Chen Xi were a little dubious. They always felt that Lin Qian was deceiving them.
"Hey, by the way, little brother Lin, is that little girl your sister? She's so cute, I really want to pinch her little face."
Zhou Min turned to look at Coco, who was picking plums from the plum tree, with joy in her eyes.
Hearing Zhou Min's words, Lin Qian shook his head and said:
"She's not my sister, she's my daughter."
Forehead……
Zhou Min and Chen Xi were both stunned, the expressions in their eyes were a bit strange, including disappointment, annoyance, and a lot of mixed emotions.
"Um...is that so? Then you are really..."
Zhou Min stammered and finally shut up before finishing her sentence.
After Yu Hua heard Lin Qian say that Coco was his daughter, he felt relieved:
"Fortunately, he already has a daughter..."
If that little girl hadn't been his daughter, he might have died in a rage today.
Seeing Zhou Min and Chen Xi's complicated expressions, Lin Qian pushed up his glasses with a very calm expression. He didn't care about the mood of the two people at all. He sat down in front of the stone table, lit a cigarette from his pocket, and looked as if
Something to think about.
"There are some problems with the situation in Taoli Village. When viewed from the cliff, there is a mountain behind Taoli Village, where is a plum forest."
"If nothing else, the letter from the post office is sent there. According to the urine of the ghost post office, there is 100% chance that something will come out there."
"Based on the situation in front of us, it's probably not the older generation of ghost masters who are going to die, otherwise the people in this village wouldn't all be ghost slaves."
"So, there is a ghost suppressed in that plum forest, and a ghost is about to come out..."
Thinking of this, Lin Qian's eyes flashed red, she glanced at the withered bones under the plum tree, and had some thoughts in her mind:
"How about being more aggressive and eating the target of this letter delivery?"
Lin Qian thinks this idea is feasible. After all, is it his character not to eat when he encounters a fierce ghost? He is a starving ghost. What kind of ghost can he not eat? What kind of ghost can he not eat?
Unless he can't beat him, he will eat every one he sees, but he has to be a little more careful. After all, the letter he sent this time is a red letter. Anyone who deserves this is not a good person.
"But logically speaking, there should be no problem. Judging from how weird this Peach Blossom Village is, it won't be a problem for me to push through."
Lin Qian thought to himself, it's not that he is floating, that's the fact. This Peach Blossom Village just looks weird, and the level of terror is medium.
It is not a problem to kill some ghost masters who control one or two fierce ghosts, but he is different. For him, this place is too ordinary and does not pose any danger.
He just couldn't defeat the Cunning Bride. He felt that he had no pressure on these rubbish.
"Hey, brother, if you take your daughter into the mountains like this, aren't you afraid of any accidents? For example, encountering jackals, tigers, and leopards?"
Yu Hua looked at Lin Qian, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and an ordinary windbreaker, with some confusion.
Hearing Yu Hua's doubts, Lin Qian, who was interrupted from thinking, didn't care. He just looked at Yu Hua with a smile and said:
"Isn't it the same for you? A boy and two girls, aren't they afraid of encountering jackals, tigers and leopards?"
"You have to know that this is Dabei, and there are blind bears in the mountains. Although it is the time for them to hibernate, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen. Are you not afraid of this?"
Yu Hua's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Chen Xi and Zhou Min. He saw that their faces were also ugly, and there was even a trace of fear in their eyes. They were obviously frightened by Lin Qian's words.
Seeing their appearance, Lin Qian shook his head slightly, the smile on his face unchanged:
"Don't be so nervous. I'm just kidding. How can there be a blind bear here? Although this is Dabei, we haven't gone deep yet and are still within the city limits. We won't encounter a blind bear here. Even if there are, they will be
Kill them all."
"So you don't have to worry, after all, the blind bear is not a protected animal."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Yu Hua's mouth twitched slightly:
"Brother, you are so funny."
Even Chen Xi and Zhou Min looked a little ugly after hearing Lin Qian's joke.
The atmosphere was dull for a while. Yu Hua felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this atmosphere. He was the one who started the topic. He originally thought he was going to trick Lin Qian, but in the end, Lin Qian was chatting to death with just one sentence.
"Ahem, brothers, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about their respective careers. I am currently the general manager of a company that is about to be listed. The CEO of the company has said that after the company is listed, I will be the deputy director. The prospects are quite good.
Not bad.”
Yu Hua spoke very confidently, with a smile on his face. It was a smile of pride and pride.
Chen Xi and Zhou Min's eyes were bright at this moment. They were obviously very interested in Yu Hua's identity.
"Brother, what is your profession? Judging from your temperament, you don't look like an ordinary person, but more like a senior leader. How come you are the same as me?"
Lin Qian pushed up his glasses and looked at Yu Hua with a strange look. Hearing the hint of showing off in Yu Hua's words, he thought for a while before speaking:
"My profession? It's quite simple. I'm currently responsible for the security work of a city. I usually just drink tea, listen to music, and occasionally take a walk."
"If something dangerous happens in the city and others can't handle it, I need to handle it. The salary is not bad, the five insurances and one housing fund are complete, the work is easy, and there is basically no pressure."
"It's just that occasionally there are some difficult things to deal with. When I deal with such things, I will be in a bad mood. Other than that, there are no big problems."
Forehead……
"Why does this feel so police-like?" Yu Hua muttered to himself.
"Hey, brother, are you a policeman?" Yu Hua asked.
"Well... whatever you say, it's not impossible to understand." Lin Qian smiled and nodded.
Seeing what Lin Qian said, Yu Hua was basically sure that Lin Qian was a police officer, and only they would be responsible for the security of a city.
When something dangerous happens that ordinary people can't deal with, don't they need to deal with it? As for the salary, five insurances and one housing fund, these are all standard, okay?
However, the police are not as laid-back as Lin Qian said. They usually drink tea, listen to music, and take a walk. Haha, I am afraid this is nonsense. Even the chief is not so laid-back.
Through this, Yu Hua can basically determine that Lin Qian's level is not high, and he is probably at the bottom, or even an auxiliary police officer, otherwise it would not be as easy as Lin Qian said.
"Brother, according to what I heard, your profession is not as easy as you said." Yu Hua looked at Lin Qian with a smile.
Lin Qian nodded and agreed with Yu Hua's statement:
"Well, it is like this for other people, but for me, it is very easy. I am just responsible for a city. There is no big problem. Except for the death of a little more ordinary people, there is nothing worth worrying about.
.”
"ah?"
Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, and his mind was a little confused. Apart from the fact that more ordinary people died, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
Ordinary people? Aren’t the police there to catch bad people? Which bad people should be killed? How could ordinary people die?
Are they really talking about a career?
Chen Xi and Zhou Min looked at Lin Qian with confused expressions, their eyes full of confusion. What was Lin Qian talking about? Why couldn't they understand.
Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Lin Qian pushed up his glasses, his eyes were very calm, he smiled and said:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about something interesting. I guarantee you will be very interested."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Yu Hua and the others finally came to their senses and couldn't help but feel a little curious. As for what Lin Qian had said before, they thought it would be better to put it aside first.
There seems to be something wrong with this guy named Lin Qian.
"Um...what is it? Are you sure that we will all be interested?" Yu Hua said.
Seeing that the three of them were interested, Lin Qian narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Do you believe that someone is dead but doesn't know he is dead and still thinks he is alive?"
Hearing Lin Qian's somewhat incomprehensible words, Yu Hua was stunned at first, then became disappointed. He shook his head and said to Lin Qian:
"Brother, I've heard this ghost story of yours before. It's not scary at all. I've been tired of hearing this kind of folk tale since I was a kid."
At this moment, Yu Hua was very disappointed with Lin Qian. He thought it was something, and he promised to interest them, but in the end, this is it?
Haha, it's so boring.
Chen Xi and Zhou Min also looked at Lin Qian with disappointed faces, their eyes full of disappointed expectations. Like Yu Hua, they also thought that Lin Qian could say something interesting, but...
Alas, it’s hard to describe in one sentence, wasting their feelings...
Lin Qian looked at them without saying anything. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. 6:49? Haha, the time was actually a little faster. It seemed that the time here was wrong, but it was getting late. It was time to leave. He looked up.
Looking at the sky, it's still dusk...
"Yu Hua, Chen Xi, Zhou Min, I am in a good mood right now, so I have been talking nonsense to you dead people for so long. If it were normal, I would have killed you directly when I met you."
"But I think you are very pleasing to the eye, so I won't kill you now. You can ask for your own happiness."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that anyone who eats plums will die. This is the cause of your death."
Lin Qian stood up with a smile, took off his glasses, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in front of the three of them. The expressions of Yu Hua, Chen Xi, and Zhou Min suddenly changed, and they swallowed subconsciously.
But when they heard what Lin Qian said clearly, anger emerged on their faces, and even Lin Qian's blood-red eyes couldn't make them feel scared.
Nonsense, if someone told you that you were actually dead but you just didn’t know it, wouldn’t you be angry if it were you?
And just when they were about to get angry and speak, the expressions of the three of them suddenly froze, and the anger on their faces disappeared and turned to numbness.
The eyes also became hollow, and just when this change occurred, the skin and flesh of Yu Hua, Chen Xi, and Zhou Min began to peel away, and in an instant, only a white skeleton was left.
A coldness spread from the three skeletons. At this moment, the three white bones moved at the same time and reached out to grab Lin Qian.
Lin Qian calmly picked up a plum on the table and threw it into his mouth. He looked at the three people who had been chatting happily with him before, and now they were three ghost slaves, without any emotion.
Turning his head to look in Coco's direction, he lowered his head and thought:
"Plums taste good. Let's get some plum trees and put them in the painting. It will be convenient if you want to eat them later."
After casually turning the three approaching white-bone ghosts into ashes, Lin Qian stepped up to Coco's side, patted Coco's tiger-head hat, and smiled:
"Coco, don't pick it yet. Dad will help you get the tree back and plant it. It will be convenient for you to eat later."
When Coco heard what her father said, a smile suddenly appeared on her face:
"Hmm, dad, can you get some more trees? Those peaches look delicious too."
As Coco spoke, she put a plum into her mouth and ate it.
Lin Qian nodded:
"Well, yes, you can take as much as you want. They are all ownerless things anyway. Don't give them up for free. Keeping them is a waste. You might as well give me an advantage."
After saying that, he took out a painting from his pocket, walked straight to the plum tree, stretched out his hand, and the plum tree was pulled out by Lin Qian as the soil flew.
In ancient times, Lu Zhishen pulled down a weeping willow tree. Today, there is someone in the forest pulling a plum tree with one hand.
