“There is nothing to work on, it’s just to come over from time to time to take a look, anyway, I don’t have much to do in Yizhuang, just be active.”

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: “Besides, that Taoist priest gave money, and if I take the money, of course I have to do things.” ”

Of course, it is not for nothing to stop in someone’s Yizhuang, and you need to pay a rental fee, just like a living person staying in someone else’s house.

It’s just that the corpse gives a lot less money.

Su Mo stepped forward to take a closer look one by one to confirm that the corpses had not changed, and whether those corpse calming talismans were still working.

“Nothing went wrong, right?” The old man was a little apprehensive.

Guarding Yizhuang for decades, of course he has seen some strange things, even the corpse has been encountered several times.

“No, it’s all preserved normally.”

Su Mo’s words reassured the old man.

It’s just that after Su Mo left the body, he didn’t go out, but walked to the gossip table and pinched a talisman.

He flicked his right hand, and the talisman burned automatically.

Su Mo put the burning talisman on the table, picked up the copper bell next to it, and covered the talisman fire at once.

“The walking corpse has a spirit, listen to my orders, jump!”

“Jingle bells—”

As the brass bell shook, the seven corpses jumped up at the same time.

Su Mo shook the copper bell, and they jumped, moving in unison.

The old man seemed more calm.

After all, he had already seen the four-eyed Taoist priest chasing the corpse before, so now that he saw the corpse moving with the bell, he no longer had any sense of surprise.

After all the verifications were completed, Su Mo nodded, put down the bell and said, “Everything is intact, the old man is very responsible.” ”

“It should.”

The old man pointed in the direction of the hall: “The prefect will sit in the hall for a while, dinner will be ready immediately, and there is a free room on my side, you stay all night and go on the road tomorrow morning.” ”

“Thank you.” Su Mo nodded.

In fact, with his yin and yang eyes, the night is not an obstacle at all, and he can leave now.

But the night is cloudy, and he is completely inexperienced at present, so it is better to be safe, or go on the road during the day.

Otherwise, if something happens and causes the corpse to change, it can only be completely eliminated.

After all, this can be regarded as the first corpse driving business he received, and naturally he doesn’t want to mess it up.

Taking advantage of the old man’s efforts to cook, Su Mo went around this town a few times and bought some food by the way.

After all, Na Yizhuang looks quite simple, and the old man is also dressed very plainly, thinking that he will not have a lot of money.

“Don’t rob me of my child! Please, don’t rob my child! ”

Just as Su Mo was carrying the fish meat and preparing to return to Yizhuang, a hysterical scream suddenly came into his ears.

He subconsciously followed the sound.

At the door of a house in the distance, a woman with a shawl was crying out in distress, and she was still desperately dragging a swaddle in her hand.

The infant cries came from the swaddling.

On the opposite side was a man who snatched the swaddling: “Since you married into my family, the child born is mine!” If you really want to, then let’s have another one later! ”

“Nope!” The woman cried: “I want this child!” You give me back the baby! ”

After speaking, he rushed towards the man and scratched the man’s face frantically.

And the man eventually left with the child, but his face was full of blood stains from being caught, and he cursed: “Crazy woman! ”

Su Mo looked at all this, his brows furrowed slightly, but finally left without saying a word.

This is a family affair, and there is no room for him to meddle.

Moreover, this kind of thing is complicated and twisted, there are too many twists and turns, and it is really difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

When Su Mo came to Qingfeng Town, it was already evening, and by the time the old man packed up his things and came up with his food, it was completely dark outside.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkling a faint silver glow.

The table was placed in the courtyard, bright in the moonlight, but there was no need to light it.

The sweet potato porridge cooked in the evening was mellow and delicious, and Su Mo squinted his eyes in enjoyment after taking a sip.

In his previous life, he was a foodie, and even if he crossed into this world, the attributes of the foodie have not changed.

Looking at Su Mo’s appearance, the old man laughed: “I saw that the Dao Chief was accustomed to eating brocade and jade before, and now when I taste this sweet potato porridge for the first time, I feel new and delicious.” ”

“I haven’t asked for the name of the old man.” Su Mo put down the bowl and spoke.

“My surname is Zhao, because when I was a child, a fortune teller said that I was hit by a lack of soil, so I took the name Zhao Tu.”

“Uncle Zhao.” Su Mo arched his hand to show respect for his elders.

The two were eating and chatting when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

“The Taoist Commander eats first.” Zhao Tu dropped a sentence, wiped his hands and walked to the door.

The wooden door opened, and a middle-aged man in a big red robe stood at the door.

He glanced towards the room, but just caught a glimpse of Su Mo, who was drinking sweet potato porridge, and suddenly frowned: “What’s going on?” ”

“It’s the Taoist priest before.”

Zhao Tu quickly explained: “Didn’t that bespectacled Taoist priest leave a batch of corpses in my Yizhuang, this little brother is the same disciple of that Taoist priest, and he came to get the corpses.” ”

“I saw that it was dark, and it was too dangerous for a person to walk on the road with a corpse at night, so I left him here for the night.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face eased a lot, but he still reprimanded: “No matter what, it is not convenient for our town to stay outsiders at this time!” ”

“Only this once, not for example, you have to take a good look at him, sleep honestly tonight, so that he must not take a step out of Yizhuang.”

“Otherwise, if you collide… In short, you pay attention. ”

The middle-aged man finally didn’t say the following words, but just instructed Zhao Tu.

“Hey, understood, understood!” Zhao Tu nodded repeatedly: “I naturally know the customs of our village, you can rest assured.” ”

“Hmm.”

The middle-aged man nodded and left with his back hand.

Watching the old man close the door and walk back, Su Mo subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?” ”

Zhao Tu looked at Su Mo, showing a look of wanting to say something, and finally said: “Dao Chief, after eating tonight, you will honestly stay in the house and sleep, don’t go out of the gate of Yizhuang.” ”

“You don’t have to worry about convenience, the hut is in the yard.”

“Can’t go out?” Su Mo raised his eyebrows, revealing an interested look: “Why, could it be that you Qingfeng Town still have demons at night?” ”

“Shh, don’t talk nonsense, don’t talk nonsense… Those who don’t know are not strange, those who don’t know are not strange! ”

Zhao Tu quickly stopped Su Mo’s words, made another prayer gesture, and made a few accusations towards the night sky before replying: “It is our custom in Qingfeng Town.” ”

“Customs?” Su Mo was a little surprised.

Customs are everywhere, but for the first time he has seen that customs are held at night.

“Yes.”

The expression on Zhao Tu’s face was a little strange, it seemed to be a little disgusted and angry, but more fearful.

In the end, he shook his head and sighed: “In short, the customs of our Qingfeng Town are today every year. ”

“On this night, no one is allowed to be in the town except the people of this town.”
