Xu Jingxi had already calmly picked up the tools, opened the door and walked in.

Shen Ningning and Ye Changyi quickly followed him, and the guards formed a circle around them.

"Hoo~~" The cool wind penetrated Ye Changyi's clothes along the back of her neck.

She was so frightened that she said, "Who! Who is blowing wind in my ear! There is a ghost, there really is a ghost!"

At this time, Shen Ningning silently tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her.

"Shang Yi, I can play it."

"Ah!" Ye Changyi's frightened heart slowly calmed down: "Ning Ning, don't scare me, I'm not timid, I'm just easily scared."

Shen Ningning's fair little face looked particularly cute under the light of the lantern.

She blinked her round black eyes: "I didn't want to scare you, but I saw a spider fell off your collar. I was afraid that you would be scared, so I wanted to blow it off for you."

Ye Changyi took a breath of cold air: "Then, did you blow it off?"

"Not yet." The little guy shook his head honestly.

Ye Changyi's face froze, and then she jumped back and forth yelling: "I'm most afraid of spiders!"

Shen Ningning stretched out her little hand and wanted to grab her sleeve, but Ye Changyi slapped her shoulder back and forth, and the little guy couldn't hold her back at all.

Finally, a slender hand reached out and accurately held Ye Changyi's arm. Then, before she could react, she pinched the spider that had slipped to her shoulder.

"Okay." Xu Jingxi threw the spider on the ground: "Take it away."

Ye Changyi breathed a sigh of relief and almost lost her balance.

Shen Ningning ran to look at the spider, her little head shaking, her soft voice full of sympathy.

"The poor little spider has stars in his eyes."

Xu Jingxi's calm eyes looked particularly deep in the quiet and strange old house.

"I think this house is old. Many places are in disrepair. I'm afraid it's also been eaten by insects. The road ahead is difficult, and Miss Ye is so scared. Just wait for me at the door."

"Or you can go back first. It will take me about two hours to dismantle them all."

Ye Changyi was about to nod, but Shen Ningning decisively refused.

"Leave you alone here? How can you do that? Your hands are not intact. Since we are here, of course we must help to the end. Chang Yi, are you right?"

Looking at the little guy's big bright eyes, Ye Changyi wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Yes, yes..." I'm sorry, why did she come with her because she was confused for a moment?

The guard walked at the front with a lantern to light up the road. Xu Jingxi led Shen Ningning and Ye Changyi on the dilapidated corridor.

The formerly expensive mahogany wood now makes a slight creaking sound when stepped on.

The Black Wolf King did not take the usual path, sometimes jumping and running a few steps outside the corridor, sometimes sniffing everywhere.

Xu Jingxi walked to the flower hall in the back courtyard and took a photo of the fire folder. Shen Ningning saw faded paintings hanging in the hall, and the wooden beams on the top were extremely beautifully carved.

"It's golden nanmu." Xu Jingxi recognized it at a glance.

He has been doing carpentry with Grandpa Xu since he was a child, and it is not difficult for him to identify wood.

Shen Ningning exclaimed: "There are so many roots. No wonder so many people died here. The owner wanted to dig out the expensive wood and take it back."

But with so many wooden beams, it is a big project to safely dismantle them.

It originally required five or six people to do it, but Xu Jingxi did it all by himself.

For safety reasons, he walked to the open space outside and took out the square cloth he had prepared in advance and spread it down.

"You just sit here and eat, don't go too far. I'm afraid that other places will be in disrepair and there will be broken wood." Xu Jingxi said, glanced at Shen Ningning, and walked back to the flower hall.

He set up the ladder he had prepared, picked up the tools in his hands, and climbed up.

Ye Changyi arranged for two guards to go in and help him.

The guards placed lanterns around where they sat, so that in the dark night, their place became the only light.

But Ye Changyi looked around and could only see bright lights. If she looked into the distance, she would feel even darker.

The house is backed by mountains. The mountains are now dark, like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark, ready to open its bloody mouth at any time.

On the other hand, Shen Ningning was already humming a song and placing bowls of food she had brought on the ground.

Then she took out chopsticks and an empty bowl.

"It's time to eat!" The little guy smiled and poured three glasses of spiritual spring water.

The Black Wolf King was lying next to her with two meat buns stuffed between his teeth. He wasn't hungry yet, so he could eat whatever he wanted.

Ye Changyi looked at the dazzling array of dishes, but felt that they no longer tasted good.

"Ning Ning, don't you think it's weird for us to put the dishes out? Especially putting them on the ground..." She hesitated, looking around with anxious eyes.

Shen Ningning had already eaten a piece of braised pork with thick red sauce.

"Wow, it smells good!" After saying that, the little guy tilted his head: "Huh? What did you say? Why is it weird?"

Ye Changyi sat a little closer to her: "My family and I used to go to worship our ancestors, and the food for the ancestors was placed on the ground. We are not having a picnic. Look, the surroundings are so scary."

Shen Ningning freed up a small hand and patted her shoulder gently.

"Don't be afraid. If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. You have done nothing wrong. Why are the ghosts looking for you? They also know that every wrongdoer has his own debtor!"

With Shen Ningning's comfort, Ye Changyi reluctantly ate something.

After that, it was a long wait.

An hour passed, and it was almost time.

Xu Jingxi never rested for a moment and kept dismantling wooden beams. From time to time, there was the sound of heavy wood falling to the ground.

Nothing happened for such a long time, and Ye Changyi was no longer afraid.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Jingxi took the time to say: "I have a blanket in another bag. If you are sleepy, just take a nap."

Shen Ningning immediately raised her butt, rummaged through the bag for a long time, and pulled out a thin blanket.

"Wow~Xu Jingxi, you are so thoughtful." She said, spreading the quilt over her body, and then lay down using the Black Wolf King as a pillow.

Ye Changyi glanced at the Black Wolf King in embarrassment.

She didn't dare to lean in like Shen Ningning did.

However, the little guy took the initiative and waved: "Shang Yi, it's okay, you can lie down too. I told Wolf Wolf, as long as you don't drool!"

Ye Changyi nudged over. As the Black Wolf King lay on his side, she happened to be lying on his legs.

The two little girls covered themselves with a thin blanket. Shen Ningning smiled at first and thought it was very fun.

She muttered: "Is it my imagination? I think this place is always warm."

Ye Changyi said absently: "It must be an illusion. How can the ground be hot?"

Perhaps it was the sense of security given by the Black Wolf King or the sound of Xu Jingxi's tapping. Soon, both Shen Ningning and Ye Changyi felt sleepy.

The two of them fell asleep wrapped in quilts. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Changyi woke up in a daze.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have drank so much soup. Where is the latrine?"

She originally wanted the escort to accompany her, but then she thought that it wouldn't be good to go too far, so she might as well go to the yard behind the wall to solve the problem simply.

In this case, we can't even call him a guard.

Ye Changyi left quickly.

The dozing Black Wolf King opened a slit in his eye, looked at where Ye Changyi's back went, and then closed his eyes again.

Shen Ningning was having a sweet dream and kept licking her little mouth.

Sudden!

Ye Changyi's frightened scream pierced the tranquility of the night.

Shen Ningning sat up quickly, and Ye Changyi screamed again.

The little guy's eyes changed: "Wolf Wolf, go! See what's going on?"

The Black Wolf King rushed out with a "swish".
