The colorful ribbons on the leather drum swayed slightly with Bai Lingmiao's footsteps.
She was walking alone in the somewhat shabby alley of Qianjia Village.
From time to time, barefoot farmers with morning cows and women holding children cast surprised glances at her.
I have never seen a girl dressed like this in the village, she is very rare.
Bai Lingmiao, who looked a little nervous, buried his head and continued walking towards the location mentioned by the two gods.
After walking for a while, Bai Lingmiao saw two short houses, one large and one small, side by side. She took a deep breath and walked into the yard.
"Woof! Woof woof!!" The big spotted dog looking after the house was so serious that it startled Bai Lingmiao.
However, the barking of the dog also saved Bai Lingmiao from the embarrassment of notification.
With a creak, the door opened, and a simple and honest farmer walked out, asking with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Which one are you looking for?"
Bai Lingmiao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. After all, she had never done this kind of thing many times.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Lingmiao asked cautiously: "Well... um... is anyone in your family possessed by evil spirits?"
"Bang!" The door that had just been opened closed with a bang.
"Ah..." Bai Lingmiao stood there in embarrassment. She turned her head and looked at the two gods aside, and said to her in her heart: "Look... they closed it, maybe it's okay."
Then Bai Lingmiao seemed to hear something and defended softly with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I know that the Xian family is under heavy pressure now. If we don't work, they will make trouble for us, but this family may not... Hey... Well, I understand, I will try again
."
She walked over again and knocked on the door with her white hands.
"Please open the door! This little girl has learned how to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. If you really have trouble in that regard, I can help you!"
After knocking a few more times, just when Bai Lingmiao thought they wouldn't open the door, the wooden door cracked open, and an old yellow wax eye suddenly appeared from inside, startling her.
"How did you know we had a hitman?"
Hearing the sound, Bai Lingmiao realized that these sallow eyes were the eyes of a person.
"Uh..." Bai Lingmiao couldn't find any good reason for a while.
"Old man, don't worry about how I know this. I can really help you with this kind of thing. Evil spirits can't stay in people for too long, otherwise they will get into trouble."
"How many boards do you want?"
"Fifty grains of money, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it's still fifty grains of money. Bai Lingmiao quoted a unified price for the dance.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lingmiao heard a young man's voice coming from behind the door. "Dad, choose her. This dance master is much cheaper than Cui Mi Po!"
The door slammed shut again, and the two father and son inside didn't know what they were discussing. Just when Bai Lingmiao was waiting a little uneasily, the door opened with a "squeak".
An old farmer with a short stature and a stout body walked out of the door with a carrying pole in his hand.
After he looked at Bai Lingmiao again for a while, he said: "Fifty copper coins, that's what you said. Our family is poor, so don't bully us."
After hearing this, Bai Lingmiao exhaled immediately, stepped over the door frame and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Bai Lingmiao was startled by the white color coming towards him.
The entire house is decorated like a mourning hall. No, except that there is no coffin, it is a mourning hall.
"My father-in-law, if you don't put the tablet in the ancestral hall, why should you put it at home?"
Hearing this, the old man sighed deeply, "If I could have let you go, I would have come here a long time ago. Come on, I will take you inside to explain some things in detail."
Passing through the back of the house is a bright small yard with several chickens.
The somewhat nervous father and son took Bai Lingmiao to the yard, pulled a bamboo stool and placed it in front of her, then squatted down as usual and began to complain.
"My old lady passed away five days ago... She lived for seventy-one years, and she didn't plead guilty before she died. It was barely considered a happy occasion, but something happened before the first seven days passed. The nephew who was watching at night heard that,
Someone is knocking on the coffin board."
When Bai Lingmiao heard this description, her heart suddenly tightened. She looked around vigilantly and found that there was nothing unusual around her.
"We were afraid, so we buried her in a hurry. But the next night, she actually jumped back on her own..."
Although the farmer's words were dry, Bai Lingmiao still felt cold in her heart and her hands and feet were cold. This seemed to be a little different from what she had encountered before.
"As soon as the old woman opened the door, she said she wanted to eat meat. My son and I were frightened at that time. It was like if we didn't give her meat, she would eat us."
"Then we unloaded the half-leg of pig that was hanging on the beam for the Chinese New Year. It was bacon, but she started to chew it raw."
"After she gnawed away the whole pig leg, she left. When she was done, she said she would come back tomorrow."
When the old man said this, the pain on his face deepened.
"I'm not stingy and don't feed the old lady, but she's clearly not our old lady. She gnaws the meat like an animal, and her mouth is bloody and stinging when she chews it. It's so annoying. This bumper is very evil.
....."
"In order to send the old lady to the funeral, we sold both of our pigs. If she comes again and doesn't have any meat to eat, I'm afraid she'll eat both of us."
"If you can allow my old lady to reincarnate safely, then you will be the female Bodhisattva of our family."
After finishing speaking, the old man hung his head and stopped talking.
"Fake corpse after death? Is this possessed by something?" Bai Lingmiao thought to himself, and began to calculate the dangers of this matter.
After having a mental discussion with the two gods and finding out that the danger was not great, Bai Lingmiao looked up at the clock and said, "Old man, the sun is going to set soon. Since it's here, I'll just stay here tonight. You
What do you think?"
Now that it's here, it must be solved. After experiencing so many things with Senior Brother Li, Bai Lingmiao found that she was quite confident about this small matter.
"What? Do you really have a way?" The old man suddenly became excited.
He had just seen that the girl was young and thought she had no abilities.
When he saw Bai Lingmiao nodding in confirmation, the old man immediately stood up and rushed towards the chickens in the yard.
"Okay! Dinner will be at our house! Don't be polite!"
That night, a whole chicken was placed in front of Bai Lingmiao, but she was not in the mood to eat it and waited nervously for the night to come.
As soon as night came, the two men hid in the back room and went to sleep, leaving Bai Lingmiao alone in the lobby like a mourning hall.
This family looks very poor, and there is only one oil lamp in the house, which illuminates the surroundings flickeringly, making the already scary environment even more gloomy.
