Chapter 33

"Mule Taoist, do you know where Xiang Mao is?"

It is not called Taoist Ma, nor Taoist Luo. Although the mule Taoist whose real name is Lu Sheng does not want to answer this question, people now have to bow their heads under the "roof" and still endure humiliation and utter three words: "I don't know."

Xin Xiu turned this bearded Taoist priest who did something bad into a mule, but he was very humane, so that he could at least speak human words for a while. A mule that could only speak human words is better than a mule that could not speak human words.

The places she went out were speechless, and finally met a mule Taoist priest who could communicate smoothly, so of course she had to use it. So she rode the mule while rushing on the road and chatting, asking him to teach her dialect, so she could soon use the local dialect to conduct some daily communication.

Based on the principle of making the best use of others, Xin Xiu not only regarded him as a dialect teaching machine, but also prepared to use him as a living map. Judging from his age, he might know where Xiang Mao is.

Hearing him say so simply that he didn't know, Xin Xiu didn't think about it, and grabbed the chain in his hand and said confidently: "You are not honest, you even know, but you don't know."

The mule Taoist priest was shocked and did not speak for a moment. After a while, he calmed down and asked: "How do you know what I said is not the truth?"

Xin Xiu: "I'm cheating you. I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure, you just didn't tell the truth." This is a skill learned from her mother, cheating questions.

Mule Taoist: "…"

Xin Xiu: "From your attitude, I can guess that you not only know where Xiang Mao is, but also must have a connection with Xiang Mao. This intentional avoidance attitude is not ordinary."

The mule Taoist priest was shocked again and thought to himself that the young girl had such a keen mind. He was stubborn for some reason and refused to say it. Xin Xiu didn't force him. He just chatted slowly and talked around, which made the mule Taoist priest feel in a hurry, not knowing what kind of way she was.

Xin Xiu: "Mu Taoist, I think you are quite powerful and know a lot. Why don't you teach me the magic of beating a female ghost two days ago?"

The mule Taoist priest was shocked by her natural attitude, thinking that this man was shameless, and he caught him as a cow and horse, and even asked him to teach magic?

However, he also wanted to find out her background, so he asked, "You must have a master, and you don't even know how to deal with ghosts?"

Xin Xiu: "Oh, I went there before, and I hadn't had time to learn a lot of things. Who knew I would go out so early. Oh, when I go out, I don't have to suppress myself and don't learn more, I'm embarrassed to go back to meet the elders of Jiangdong."

The mule Taoist priest didn't understand what Jiangdong elders were. He just felt that this man was talking nonsense and couldn't figure it out.

Xin Xiu: "If you are willing to teach me with your heart, it will be considered as teaching me. I will repay you. When you take me to Xiangmao, I will let you go. How about it?"

The mule Taoist priest really began to think about this matter, but he really didn't expect to escape. Instead of consuming it like this, it would be better to follow what this junior said. But thinking about it this way, he felt very unwilling to be in his heart. If he could not kill this young man who was ignorant of the world, he would not be able to relieve his hatred!

Xin Xiu threw out a bait, hummed the white dragon horse's hooves and sat on the mule to draw a sketch. She just finished drawing a picture and reached in front of the mule's face, "Look, do you think it looks like you? It's right?"

The mule Taoist priest shrank back and widened his eyes, shocked by the techniques of this modern sketch and the professional painting worker Xin Xiu.

Xin Xiu took back the painting after he had seen enough, and said with a slight silence: "I'll draw you down and send it back to my master just in case. If I let you go, what should I do if you revenge on your kindness and revenge? With this painting in my master's hands, if something happens to me, he will know who to ask for revenge for me."

"My master is the only disciple, and he loves me very much. He is also a powerful person. If I have a good life, he will avenge me."

What she said was the same as it was, but in fact she was not ready to let the person go, so she just deceived him first. If you want the mule to run away, of course you have to hang a carrot in front.

I am ashamed. In the past nine years of compulsory education, she had never listened to the ideological and moral classes carefully. She watched Wu Song beat tigers and monkeys steal peaches, and she became the current Yazi.

The mule Taoist priest had no temper at all. He kept comforting himself, forget it, this boy must have an extraordinary origin, and he endured his anger for a moment, forget it. He recited this several times over and over again, and finally managed to kill himself.

During the next journey, he kept suppressing his intention to kill.

Deliberately making people angry soared their blood pressure and then soothe them. Xin Xiu jumped repeatedly on the verge of testing the mule Taoist priest's collapse and studied happily.

What surprised her was that this mule Taoist priest knew a lot about ghosts and other things, and had many methods, and would improve the ghost-removing talisman by herself. She felt more and more that she was really lucky. She accidentally surrendered such a guy, saving so much trouble.

Having learned a lot of practical ghost hunting techniques, Xin Xiu really wanted to find a ghost to try it right away, but unfortunately she really wanted to find it but couldn't find it.

On that day, one man and one mule passed by a mountain road, and suddenly heard someone calling for help under the cliff.

Xin Xiu immediately pulled the mule's ear and asked with a little expectation: "Is it the monsters in the mountains charming passers-by?" She just heard the mule Taoist priest talk about ghosts in the mountains yesterday. Some of them would disguise themselves as human voices and call for help when they passed by, tricking people into falling off the cliff and falling to death. Then they would climb out of the gaps in the cliff and return to the nest to eat with their bodies.

The mule Taoist priest who was pulled by her ears was from the beginning to the point where he was still calm and calm, saying, "No, he is an ordinary person."

Xin Xiu didn't believe him, so he went to investigate himself, but found that he was really an ordinary person. He probably accidentally slid under the cliff by walking at night. There were many mountains here, and the excavated mountain path was steep and fell down accidentally. This man was lucky. He grabbed a raised tree root and was able to save his life.

The mule Taoist urged her: "Go away now." What does a mortal have to care about?

Xin Xiu threw out the rope and pulled the unlucky guy below up. He looked like a generous and honest man, who looked about forty or fifty years old.

He was in a desperate situation, and the uncle was crying and pulled Xin Xiuyu to express his gratitude incoherently. He claimed to be a small businessman. This time he went out to discuss business, but he accidentally fell down the mountain road and fell to death with his old horse. He managed to catch the tree roots and persisted for a day.

At this person's warm invitation, Xin Xiu had to go back with him.

People today expressed their gratitude, and they had to invite them to dinner. When they were out, it was not convenient to have a good meal, so Xin Xiu agreed happily, and the uncle said that his house was in the town at the foot of the mountain, and she could just go and stay overnight.

Before Xin Xiu left, she took a lot of gold and silver from her master. This was also a kind of refining material, mainly for decoration. She took a lot of it and distributed it to her younger brothers and sisters, telling them that she could not make a move without money when she went out. However, she found that she had made a mistake because she was probably a deserted village, and there were not many places to spend money, and there were very few hotels to stay in.

Business is underdeveloped, the tourism industry basically does not exist, and even if you have money, you can only occasionally be a hero and a righteous person to eat and drink to support your life.

She sent the uncle home safely, and indeed received thanks from the family from the uncle's wife and his two little daughters.

After having a pretty rich meal, the hostess arranged a clean room to rest by the hostess. However, the hostess looked at her a little strange, exploring and curious.

Xin Xiu has never seen similar gazes along the way. In this area, it is very strange that a young woman goes out alone, not to mention that she looks too clean. Not only is she very different in clothes and appearance, but her temperament is also completely different from those here.

There is also an older servant in this family. He came to bring her hot water in the evening, inquire about her background and hometown, and was extremely gossiped about it.

This family doesn't look particularly rich, and is incomparable to the big mansion of the Ji family before, but it also has two small courtyards in front and behind, which is considered a well-off society.

Xin Xiushu was soaked in her feet comfortably, and she rarely slept well in the soft bedding. Unfortunately, she was awakened by a vocal silence until midnight.

She got up to see the situation and found that it was in a small house behind where the uncle's wife was giving birth.

When she was having dinner, Xin Xiu felt frightened when she saw the little wife who was holding a balloon in her belly. Because the little wife and the servant were serving the food up and down to serve the family for dinner, she was walking as fast as she was afraid that something would happen if she accidentally fell.

When Xin Xiu passed by, the child had just been born there. Xin Xiu heard the woman crying through the window, and there was also the servant lady helping to clean up.

The child was also crying, and the crying suddenly disappeared into the sound of water. Xin Xiu felt a little strange and looked at it. He found that the old woman pressed the child's head into the water, not like cleaning, but more like drowning the child. She was stunned and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

I was startled by her sudden sound. The old woman loosened her hands and the child's head was watery, and she choked and cried.

When the old woman found it was her, she was a little embarrassed, but she still said to her very often: "I have given birth to a daughter, don't want it."

I gave birth to a daughter, so I drowned.

Xin Xiu looked at them and was speechless for a moment. The old woman grabbed the child's feet and carried them backwards, and even smiled at her apologetically, "Did you disturb the guests? Sorry, let's whisper."

Xin Xiu: "...I think your family is not poor. Can't you afford to raise a daughter? Why do you have to kill?" It's not that you can't support it anymore. Xin Xiu doesn't understand. She has heard of many backward and poor places where women have children one after another. If they have too many daughters, they will not want it, throw it away or give it to others, but she doesn't know that families like this will do such things.

The aunt was a little surprised by her words and explained: "There are already two daughters in the family, and it is useless to ask for a daughter. I have been wasted rice and food."

Faced with their natural and puzzled attitude, Xin Xiu didn't even know what to say. After leaving Shuling, she seemed to encounter such situations that she didn't know what to say.

She would rather meet some fierce and ugly monsters.

The owner of the family and his wife came over to resolve the deadlock. The male owner was also embarrassed and advised her benefactor to go back and rest. The baby girl didn't say she was going to kill her. When Xin Xiu walked back to the room, she vaguely heard the mistress behind her complaining about meddling for nosy business, and was scolded by the man loudly and stopped.

The courtyard is at the west end of the town, next to it is a lake connected to the river. In autumn, there are a piece of reeds beside the lake, and the shimmering shivering in the autumn wind.

With the light moonlight, the servant threw the child in his hand into the water and turned around and walked quickly.

Xin Xiu stood among the reeds and heard a thud on the other side, and a slight ripples spread to her feet. She walked over and picked up the baby girl, soaked in water, woke up, and the baby girl who started crying heart-wrenchingly was wrapped in front of Xin Xiu and wiped the lake water with the smell of mud on her cheeks.

Xin Xiu left overnight, took the mule Taoist priest and a baby girl he picked up, and did not say hello to the owner of the family.

"Mule Taoist, a baby girl of this big age needs to drink milk... Well, does mules produce milk? Can you do it?"

Mule Taoist: "…"

In the end, Xin Xiu could only find a woman with milk in the village, and pay or give them some money to ask them to help feed the baby girl. Sometimes when they really couldn't meet someone, Xin Xiu took out the nectar and fed it to the baby girl with water and took it to deal with it. She followed her and hungry and fed her, and slept in the open. The child was not sick, but became stronger and more energetic.

Sometimes Xin Xiu cried loudly and felt that his ears were malfunctioning. The mule Taoist priest was not driven crazy by her, and almost drove the crying ghost crazy. He lobbled Xin Xiu for countless times and quickly threw this little thing away.

Even a cat or dog cannot be discarded at will, let alone a baby, and he can only take it with him for the time being. Although Xin Xiu was also very painful, when she saw the mule Taoist priest, she could feel happiness and then persist for a while.

She was going to go to a bigger city and might find someone who wanted to raise a girl.

Perhaps she has enough understanding of her tragic fate that she will die as soon as she is born. This baby girl is particularly crying. The attitude of crying hard is the same as her attitude of eating hard. When they walk in the wilderness, the crying of this little baby can scare away the wild wolf, and the wolf dare not scream.

Xin Xiu caught a weak ghost. This weak ghost was not the kind of ghost that stayed in the world after death, but something that changed after the death of resentment gathered. It was without any mind, just like a shadow wandering in the wilderness. Xin Xiu grabbed it without any effort, put it in a transparent bubble, tied it underneath with the transparent silk thread tied to the mule Taoist priest, so that it floated like a hydrogen balloon, and the other end was tied to the mule's ear.

The little baby girl was nestled in Xin Xiu's arms. When she saw different hideous faces occasionally revealed in the "balloon", she was amused and giggled, and she stopped crying. She opened her mouth and drooled on the mule's back.

Xin Xiu deliberately raised his hand to pluck the balloon, so that the weak ghosts inside would stick to the transparent bubbles and various expressions of beauty art appeared.

Little baby girl: "Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Xin Xiu: "Hahahaha!"
