The waiter said: "Excuse me, whose surname is Xie?"

Xie Zhi raised his hand.

The clerk came over hurriedly and placed the box in front of Xie Zhi.

The brocade box is a very exquisite brocade box. The pattern embroidered on it is a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, looking like they are in love.

But when everyone saw it, they didn't feel affection at all.

I just feel a little eerie and weird.

Xia Yue said: "Open it, do you want me to open it for you?"

Although Xie Zhi also felt a little scared, he wasn't that intimidated. He waved his hand and opened the box.

In the box, there was an embroidered shoe lying quietly.

Ye Caitang instantly felt even more terrifying.

This embroidered shoe is very delicately made, but it is very small, only as big as the palm of your hand. As Xie Zhi said before, it is the size for a six or seven-year-old child.

Everyone looked at Xie Zhi together.

Xie Zhi nodded: "Yes, the girl I saw this morning was wearing a pair of shoes like this."

Wang Tong blurted out: "Is that girl attracted to you?"

Shoes are a very personal thing, let alone a three-inch golden lotus. If a girl gives a man an embroidered shoe, it is a token of love.

There is no second meaning.

But Xia Yue said: "I don't think she is attracted to me."

Well, actually no one thinks that Wang Tong is just talking casually.

Ye Caitang comforted Xie Zhi: "Don't panic, think on the bright side, after all, this is just a shoe."

If it's really that evil, maybe it's the one wearing the shoes.

Xie Zhi did not feel that he had been comforted.

Xia Yue said: "Master Xie, you met that woman and the mother-in-law beside her before. Do you still remember what they look like? Can you draw them?"

The town is not big, so as long as the two people are human and not ghosts, and have a general appearance, they might be able to find them.

Moreover, the woman's three-inch golden lotus is also a very obvious characteristic symbol.

Xie Zhi thought for a moment and gave it a try.

He didn't have the ability to have a photographic memory and be able to draw something once he saw it, but the one he just saw made a deep impression on him.

Xia Yue immediately asked the shop to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Everyone spread the paper, polished the ink, and stopped picking up the pen.

I have to say that Xie Zhi's portrait paintings are quite good.

The guy and the little girl who just sang didn't leave, they stood aside and watched him draw.

Soon, two women, one young and one older, appeared on the page.

The young man is still wearing a veil. Although the veil is hazy, his eyes are very beautiful.

Xie Zhi first painted the young woman, and then the old woman.

When the mother-in-law painted seventy-seven or eighty-eight, the clerk suddenly became excited. He pointed at the portrait and said: "This person, this person..."

Everyone looked at him together.

The waiter said under great pressure: "I've seen this woman before."

He actually knew him, Xie Zhi immediately said: "Who is this?"

"Yes..." The boy suddenly couldn't remember, but he paused and said, "I remember seeing this man in the kitchen. He seemed to have come to deliver food to us. I'll call the cook over."

Soon the waiter called a cook.

The cook took a look.

"Oh, this is Aunt Yun." The cook looked at her and said, "She often delivers food to the inn."

Ye Caitang asked: "Is she a vegetable grower?"

"No." The cook said, "She lives in the woods and often sends some wild products, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and fungus."

"Then do you know where she lives?"

The cook thought for a while: "I can't be sure exactly, but I know where it is."

OK, probably OK.

As long as you get nearby and use the portrait to ask, you will definitely be able to find it.

At that moment, everyone asked the cook about his location and went to find him.

No matter whether it is embroidered shoes, a ghost bride, a good thing or a bad thing, the truth must be revealed, otherwise, Xie Zhi will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

Xie Zhi couldn't sleep, and he wouldn't let them sleep well. Xie Zhi didn't sacrifice me, and the spirit of happiness for everyone, if they were captured by ghosts, they would be dragged into the water.

The direction the chef pointed was very clear, and there were no mistakes along the way. When he arrived at a place where there were people, he took out the portrait and asked.

After asking all the way, I finally saw a single-family yard in the forest.

Ye Caitang commented: "It looks like a place with a story."

It is very much like the castle where the princess is kept in a dark fairy tale, or the cabin where the wolf grandmother is hidden.

Ye Caitang glanced at Xie Zhi and asked him: "Brother Xie, do you like red hats?"

If Ye Caitang was talking about the green hat, Xie Zhi might have turned against him, but he didn't know what the red hat meant.

Xie Zhi said inexplicably: "I don't like hats."

"oh."

Ye Caitang shook the image of Little Red Riding Hood out of his head.

The group of people quickly walked to the yard.

This is a three-room wooden house with a fence surrounding the yard. There are green vines climbing on the fence and wild flowers blooming here and there.

Xie Zhi stood at the door and knocked.

"Is anyone home?"

Mr. Xie's courtesy is engraved in his bones.

After shouting twice, a response came from inside.

Soon, a woman came over from inside.

Without looking at Xie Zhi's expression, everyone can recognize at a glance that this is the woman in the painting. Xie Zhi's paintings are very vivid, not only the facial features, but also the expression.

The mother-in-law walked to the door and looked at everyone strangely.

Through the gap in the fence, he asked everyone: "Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"

Xie Zhi said: "Auntie, do you still remember me?"

They also had no evidence to confirm that the embroidered shoes just now were given by this woman, so they couldn't bring it up, so they had to take a roundabout way first.

The mother-in-law looked at Xie Zhi for a long time, then shook her head: "I don't remember, I don't know you."

Xie Zhi said: "We met once in the market in the morning. You were supporting a young lady. The lady was wearing a veil and a pair of embroidered shoes."

The mother-in-law still shook her head, her eyes dull.

"I live here alone, I don't have any ladies, and I haven't seen you."

Xie Zhi turned around and glanced at everyone.

He was sure that he was not wrong, but his mother-in-law refused to admit it. What should Xie Zhi do?

Xia Yue still has a way.

Xia Yue said: "Auntie, we are here to have fun. We are tired from walking. Can we go to your house to have a drink of water and take a rest?"

The folks are all unpretentious and generally okay.

But the mother-in-law was not willing. She frowned and looked at the group of people for a long time.

Wang Tong stuffed a piece of silver into the crack.

If the mother-in-law still doesn't agree, then they are ready to force their way in. If they don't turn their backs on money, there must be something wrong.

The mother-in-law took the money, looked at it, and then nodded.

Opening the door of the wooden fence, the mother-in-law said: "Please come in, but the house is messy, so you can sit wherever you want, don't feel bad about it."
