Chapter 10 Chapter Ten

It took an hour and a half to go back and forth, and when we returned to the construction site, it was already the time when the red sun was about to sink and the sky was full of sunset. By the time of dinner, Xin Wu already felt something was wrong.Anxiety was evident on the faces of the five companions. Everyone was preoccupied, as if a catastrophe was imminent. For many days, the excitement of buying cheap land disappeared without a trace. Even Gao Cheng, who was usually the most talkative, became a mouthless gourd. To the east is the site of Nai He Tian Fei Building. The workers had a hasty dinner and left early.

The six people ate at the end, and they ate without saying a word to each other, and the laughter in the past disappeared. Sharp was the first to finish eating, and suddenly said, "I'm going to live in the city tonight." The oversized Yu Yunzhong was silent for a moment, then murmured, "Okay!Are you coming back? I can't think of coming back, this land is for you.Sharp said hesitantly. The legend of Naihetian has been forgotten by friends in the world.Yu Yunzhong said insincerely. If the true self wants to live, a living ant is much better than a dead lion.Sharp said in a heavy tone.

Wan Ming murmured deeply: It's all my fault. Sharp smiled faintly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: On the contrary, brother should thank you.Then he turned to Xin Wu and asked, "Old Wu, can you go?" I do not go.Xin Wu said firmly. Don't blame me from now on. I am already a person who can take responsibility for myself. All right!I'm going to pack my bags. Xin Wu reached into his bosom, took out two ingots of ten taels of pure gold and handed them over, saying: Your money is not rich, brother Xia, please take it! brother, this Xin Wu stuffed Jin Ziqiang into the opponent's arms, and said with a smile: Let's meet each other, there should be some affection, so let's go, brother won't see you off.

Sharp patted Xin Wu on the shoulder without saying a word, turned his head and hurried into the house without saying a word, and soon he hurried away with his bag on his back. Brother Wan, what about you?Yu Yunzhong lowered his head, talking to himself. Wan Ming took a deep breath and said bitterly: I am willing to take risks and wait. Then go to bed early!Yu Yunzhong said. The newly made wooden beds are arranged on both sides of the completed hall, and everyone's sleeping items are spread out on them.The weather was hot, and everyone quietly got into bed and lay down in their clothes.

The vegetable oil lamp left two wicks, emitting a dark red light. During the first shift and the second shift, only one person fell asleep, and that was Xin Wu. Wan Ming slept deeply on the innermost side, tossing and turning, staring blankly, with a pale face, staring at the locked gate with surprise eyes from time to time. The young man Gao Cheng is sleeping on the right side, holding a five-point chisel tightly in his hand. It seems that this iron chisel, which is only eight inches long and five-quarters wide, is the most brilliant Buddha and Bodhisattva's magic pestle. Under Yu Yunzhong's wooden pillow, there was an extra three-foot stick.

Fang Ming, who has six fingers on his right hand, has a six-foot eyebrow-level stick by his side. In Wan Mingshen's arms, there was a hand axe. He glanced at Xin Wu, who was sleeping soundly in the next bed, and said to himself: If you don't know, you are not afraid. It's true. It was indeed a wise move for us to discuss whether to tell him about Nai Hetian so as not to frighten him.Little brother, you should go with Sharp, why bother? The chirping of insects outside and the mixed chorus of autumn insects have a hypnotic effect, but these people cannot fall asleep at all.Only one Xin Wu can sleep peacefully.

The long howl of wild wolves and the mournful cry of night owls are horrifying to hear. These people claim that they are not afraid of heaven and earth, let alone ghosts.However, He Tian made them lose their souls. It's the third watch, time flies so slowly, one minute seems as long as a year, why is it still not dawn? Suddenly, there was a thrilling ghost howl behind the squeaky house, which made people's hairs stand on end. Two people jumped up in surprise, Wan Mingshen and Gao Cheng. Yu Yunzhong's three-foot wooden stick was in his hand.Fang Ming's eyebrow-level stick has left his side.

Xin Wu was still in a deep sleep. Although he didn't snort, his chest rose and fell evenly during his breathing, and he didn't seem to be awakened by the ghost howling. A pile of timber fell down not far away. Yu Yunzhong jumped up and stood sideways against the door. Wan Ming reached the entrance of the back hall, so nervous that his breathing seemed to have stopped. Gao Cheng and Fang Ming are on the same side, waiting for each other. Xin Wu opened his big bright eyes, yawned and said, "The bear knocked down our timber, and he scared himself away!"sleep! Wan Ming was deeply shocked, and asked in a low voice: Xin Wu, did you hear the howling of ghosts?

Even if there are ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of.Humans are much scarier than ghosts, at least Nai Hetian’s humans are not cuter than ghosts Stop talking nonsense!Wanming drank deeply, his face changed. You go to work!I'm going to sleep. There was another ghost howl, this time from the front door. Yu Yunzhong pulled out the two latches suddenly, and rushed into the night like a strong wind. Fang Ming was not slow, he shot out quickly. Just as Gao Cheng approached the door, a strong wind suddenly blew up. Yu Yunzhong and Fang Ming, who had already rushed out, seemed to be blown in by the strong wind, bang bang!He fell dizzy twice.

The lights flickered out, blown out by the wind brought by the two people falling into them. Gao Cheng finally stepped aside in time to avoid a collision, and when the lights went out, he flashed out. The sky is full of stars, and there are no ghosts. With a flicker of fire, Xin Wu used a fire pocket to light up the lamp again. Wan Mingshen was almost frightened, leaning against the wall of the back hall in a daze. Gao Cheng retreated to the door, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't see anything outside, what's going on?" Yu Yunzhong got up in embarrassment, and said with a pale face: "I saw nothing, I just felt a gust of wind hit my face, with unprecedented force, and when my eyes went dark, I was shaken back into the room."

Fang Ming picked up the eyebrow-qi stick that had fallen to the side, and said in horror: We have really encountered a ghost.Terrible! Gao Cheng at the door suddenly exclaimed: Look!what is that?Huh Yu and Fang rushed out in response, asking at the same time: "What is it?" In the starlight, nearby piles of wood and a pile of scattered planks, that's all. I clearly saw a tall strange figure on the pile of wood, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?Gao Cheng said in horror, and started backwards. The ghost howling sounded again. Gao Cheng hurriedly closed the door, but was blocked by a big hand. It was Xin Wu, he walked out slowly, stood under the eaves and said loudly: Please don't bother me any more, we will get along well in the future, we will not interfere with each other or invade each other, and we hope that we can become good neighbors. Let's settle down and live here, and we will never interfere with anyone's business.In any case, we will not back down.Whether you are a human or a ghost, you will not drive me away.Good to go, no more. After finishing speaking, he turned around calmly and walked into the house, closed the door and said: Let's sleep!Nothing to be afraid of. Are you not afraid?Wan Ming asked with lingering fear. This is where we live and work. We can't abandon our roots because of fear, go far away, and become duckweeds without roots, can we?Xin Wu said calmly. He walked to the side of the bed, sighed and said: We already have the foundation, if we want to keep this foundation, we have to pay a price. Wan Ming said in horror: But, how do people fight ghosts? Xin Wu couldn't help shaking his head and said: "It's human, someone wants to drive us away." How do you know? If it was a ghost, he would have already entered the house.In the new house, the ancestors were not invited, the door gods were not respected, and the blessings were not worshiped in the third, so ghosts can come and go freely. Fang Ming was a frightened bird, and said in horror: I don't believe it is a human being, at least the one who drove me into the door was definitely not a human being.With my six-fingered door god, it is impossible to knock me backwards and fall without a trace. Wanming lay down in shock and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning." After all, Gao Cheng was young and energetic, and said in a deep voice: I will never leave, I will fight him. Best to sleep with the lights out.Xin Wu said, and blew out the lights. Early in the morning, Wan Mingshen took his bags and left. Yu Yunzhong didn't leave, Fang Ming was Yu Yunzhong's cousin, and he stayed even if his cousin didn't leave. Xin Wu got up early in the morning to make breakfast, regardless of the consequences. It was mid-sun when the hirelings arrived.He walked around alone, looking for signs carefully. Going down the stream to the east and rounding a high hill, he stopped suddenly, stood there for a moment, breathed out a long breath, and said coldly: Come out!Let's talk. The surrounding area is full of coppice, and reeds more than ten feet high grow on the bank of the stream. For a long time, there was no sound.He looked up at the sky and said: All right!I hope you don't come again in the future. He turned his head and walked five or six steps, when a cold and peculiar voice came from behind: "Stop!"How did you find out? He stood still, did not look back, and said with his hands behind his back: It is the fragrance of lavender on your body, maybe it is the fragrance of flowers you wear. Are you the youngest of the six? right. But also one of the shrewdest and most alert. It's easy to say. Probably in terms of artistic cultivation, you are also the most brilliant and profound one. I'm afraid you've lost your eye. The wisest man may die the slowest, but he will die eventually. Since ancient times, who has never died?There is no basis for immortality, at least I have never heard of immortals, nor have I seen gods.he said calmly. After a long time, the voice of the person behind him changed: I feel sorry for you, okay!Let's talk. He turned around slowly, only to feel his eyes light up. In the sunlight, standing in front of her was a girl in black, her knee-length hair was shiny and black, and fell smoothly over her shoulders, revealing a beautiful face like suet white jade. She has crescent eyebrows, a pair of big clear and deep eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. Unfortunately, her complexion is too white, too white to be healthy. The age cannot be seen, the corners of the eyes are covered by the hair, and the age cannot be guessed from the corners of the eyes, but judging from the wrinkles on the nose and the corners of the lips, it should be a young girl in her early twenties. Her voluminous black robe dragged to the ground. The sleeves are also very long, so long that they can hang down to the ground. It is difficult to see whether her figure and the hands in the sleeves have weapons. He bowed his head slightly to say hello, and said coldly: The girl's qinggong is very good. Praise praise.The girl in black also said coldly. Sleeve wind can hurt people far away, it seems a bit tricky. You think I played tricks last night? The pile of wood on the side of the door was deliberately left behind for people to hide. oh!you know i'm coming Isn't the girl standing against the wall at the corner of the second floor?It was dark above, and covered its face with hair.My companion was scared out of his wits by the word Naihetian, and he didn't dare to examine it carefully. You are not afraid? What am I afraid of?I don't even know what Naihetian means? Why didn't you say anything? Girl, I have made my attitude clear. We only want to live and work in peace here, and we don't want to cause any trouble. Even if it is a bear, I don't want to drive it away. But trouble is inevitable. He sneered and said: There is a limit to tolerance. When an ant is cornered, it will bite a person who is a million times stronger than it.goodbye! He turned around calmly and walked calmly. The girl in black floated forward, like an invisible ghost. He said without looking back: I hate people who attack from behind the most, although I may also attack others from behind.Please stay tuned. You are so proud.The girl in black stopped and said. I'll be your good neighbor, as long as you don't pretend to be a ghost.He walked slowly and said coldly. The girl in black followed behind, keeping a distance, and asked, "Don't you ask me where I am from?" If you ask me, I won't tell. My surname is Wu, and my mouth is Tian Wu. My surname is Xin. I'm going to tell you two things. I don't necessarily want to listen. Whether you listen or not is up to you.First, this is the first time I pretend to be a ghost to scare people.Second, if you don't leave before sunset tomorrow night, you will die without a place to die. He stopped and looked up at the scorching sun sky. After a long time, Fang asked: Is it a warning?Do you want me to thank you? Why are you talking so stiffly?Not that I'm warning you, but a well-intentioned exhortation. Thanks.goodbye. The woman in black watched his back gradually disappear. Her bright eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she covered her face with her sleeves. After a long time, Fang murmured: God!What's wrong with a person with both talent and appearance? With a deep sigh, she took the road back to the abandoned building of Nai He Tian. Stepping up the stone steps full of leaves, the gesture is about to climb up the horizontal branch protruding from the window. There is no window above the window opening. Suddenly, two men in black, a man and a woman, float out. Butterflies volley. She hastily stopped her upward movement towards the window, stepped back eight feet to make way for her footing, and bowed gracefully: "Master, teacher, mother, Wan'an, Qian'er returned home the night before." A man and a woman descended, wearing the same type of black robe, the difference is that the hair is not draped down, the male is in a knot, and the female is in a bun. The male is about sixty years old, with a pig-shaped face. His appearance is extremely evil, and even his face is purple-brown. If he appears at night, he will surely scare the timid friends into fainting. The woman is on the contrary, although she is in her mid-mature, she is still beautiful and refined.It's a pity that her face is paler than Qianer's, and lacks a healthy luster. The combination of beauty and ugliness really makes people feel like a flower stuck in cow dung. The ugly old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "You came back the night before yesterday. Where did you go last night? Why didn't you see you?" Qian'er patrolled around last night. The beautiful woman asked: Have you found anything? Qian'er said hesitantly: "Zhang Wanwan's land has been sold, and the new owner has built a house under the hill. There are four people in total." oh!The group didn't kill them. The group of people did not return for a whole month. No wonder.oh!Has the master and apprentice of the mountain spirit come? Qian'er let out a long sigh, shook her head and said: "The mountain spirit drove his apprentice out of Wangwu Mountain, and he said that he had already broken up with Naihetian." This old man is disgusting!The ugly old man scolded. Master, have the three ghosts of Caozhou invited you?Qian'er asked. The ugly old man gritted his teeth and said: Those three dogs are not good enough friends, they are obviously hiding at home, but they called a dog master to come out and talk nonsense, saying that they have already left for Xiaoluotianzhuquan.It's really unreasonable, Luo Tian and Xiao Luo had already been breached by the Anqing Mansion's army last month, and they still needed their help. The teacher's wife let out a long sigh, and said: It seems that our Naihetian is also hopeless for revenge this time. The ugly old man snorted and said, "Naihetian, although there are only three of us left, we will never give up our hatred of destruction."Ten long years have passed, we can still wait, at least we still have hope in Qian'er. Why not try to take advantage of this group of people?asked the teacher's wife. That's impossible, tumblers never do things for others, even if it is profitable, they don't consider it.Besides, he is not our enemy's opponent.The ugly old man shook his head and said. Qian'er Feng turned her eyes and said: "Master, among the four people who bought the land, there is a young man with unfathomable art skills, but just It's just that he's handsome, isn't he?Master Chou stared wide-eyed, and spoke sternly. Qianer Don't even talk about it.snort!If it was ten years ago, the teacher would have killed him first.Master said bitterly. But Qian'er still wants to persuade him when he is employing people. snort!Have you forgotten the rules of our days?The male disciples of this school must marry the most beautiful woman, and the female disciples must marry the oldest and ugliest man.This is the origin of Nai He Tian, ​​and no one can do anything about it. Qian'er didn't dare to say more, her eyes filled with helpless sadness and pain. What kind of bullshit rules is this? Her sense of resistance began to germinate in her heart.One day, the buds will grow, bloom, and bear fruit.As for whether it is sweet or bitter.That's another matter. The teacher's wife's cheeks twitched several times, and she said expressionlessly: "Go up and rest!"After two days, it's time for us to pack up and leave this place. One stay for two months is long enough!
