The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 110 Going down the mountain to catch ghosts

Lin Chuji passed the exam.

Just when Su Shi was taking his two junior sisters down the mountain to collect the ghosts, he happened to hear passers-by in the tea shop talking about it.

"Senior sister, don't forget about this mission down the mountain."

Wen Jiu gently put his hand on Jiang Yaoxi's shoulder.

Her heart that is ready to move can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

"it is good"

Jiang Yaoxi nodded absently.

"Xiao Wu, didn't you say that Mr. Lin would come to you if he was convicted? If so, why should you worry?"

Su Shi intervened at the right time, "There is Xiao Shi on the mountain. If anyone is looking for you, they will definitely send you a message."

Qingyun Mountain's messenger did not rely on homing pigeons, and the delay would not take long.

Jiang Yaoxi's face looked a little nervous.

Wen Jiu glanced at the hand she clenched unconsciously and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's almost it. Let's continue on our way."

Su Shi placed a few coins on the table, and the three of them walked out of the tea shop.

This place is not far from Changle Town, and it takes more than an hour to arrive.

Su Shi walked quickly, walking alone in front.

Jiang Yaoxi and Wen Jiu followed him, looking at the surrounding stalls from time to time.

Suddenly someone blocked Wen Jiu's way.

"Although the girl is rich and noble, she is destined to be doomed. There is no point in being careful."

It was the owner of a fortune-telling stall that I just passed by.

He was wearing a black monk's robe that had been washed white, and his hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. He was short in stature and had dense wrinkles on his face.

"You stinky fortune teller! What are you talking about!"

Jiang Yaoxi frowned, wasn't she cursing Wen Jiu?

"Since it's fate, it can't be resolved. Sir, there is no need to say more to me."

Wen Jiu didn't stop for long and pulled Jiang Yaoxi forward.

The looking eyes behind her made Wen Jiu feel uncomfortable. It wasn't until she walked around the corner that she felt a little more comfortable.

"Most of the fortune tellers on this street are scammers, so Xiaojiu shouldn't take it to heart."

Jiang Yaoxi probably saw that Wen Jiu's expression was not very good. Maybe he went out less and got used to these things after seeing them too much.

Wen Jiu smiled: "I'm not thinking about this."

Although the man's face was covered with wrinkles, his hands were smooth and flawless.

Why did he stop him in the middle of the road and talk like this without any beginning or end?

Su Shi's ghost hunting order became even more dazzling after entering Changle Town.

It seems to be here.

The three of them entered an inn and planned to have something to eat and stay there first.

"Shopkeeper, fry up four or five of your favorites and bring them over."

Su Shi was always like this when he was outside, he was not picky about food and drink.

Wen Jiu and Jiang Yaoxi are also used to it. The food in this inn is pretty much the same. If you really want to eat something, you must go to this market.

"Today, the pig skins of the Pig Head Wang family were bought by that person again."

"Tsk tsk. His business is so good now?"

"The Pig Head Wang family has to kill three pigs a day. How many of these can one person use?"

The guests at the next table seemed to have lowered their voices on purpose.

I don’t know if this topic is too taboo or if it’s not easy for outsiders to hear.

But if you don’t want to be heard, you shouldn’t say it here.

It seems like something interesting.

Soon the waiter came with the dishes, and Wen Jiu silently handed over a silver coin.

"Brother, I want to ask something."

The waiter looked around and found that no one was watching and quickly collected the money.

This girl looked young, but she didn't expect that she would be so generous.

"Girl, tell me everything you know."

Wen Jiu smiled slightly: "I heard that there is someone in town who specializes in buying pig skins. Why?" There was obvious panic in the waiter's eyes.

But he quickly put away the emotion in his eyes: "Young lady, you don't know. There is a person in our town who specializes in sewing wounds on dead people."

"Sewing wounds on dead people? Why treat people when they are dead?"

Jiang Yaoxi's eyes widened. This was really unheard of.

"Who says it's not? But this is still a business. Some people die in disgrace. For example, Lin Yuanwai's youngest son was hacked to death by bandits a few days ago. He didn't have a piece of good meat in his body, so Deaf Zhao used pigs. The skin sewed up and covered his wounds one by one, just like when he was not injured."

The waiter said it as if he saw it with his own eyes.

"Then this one is really brave."

Jiang Yaoxi shrank her neck, she was a cruel person.

"But I heard from the fortune teller at the market that if you don't stop what you're doing when you hear a dog barking, something unclean will come to your door."

The waiter lowered his voice seriously, and even Su Shi couldn't help but frown.

"Is there such a thing?"

"But..." Wen Jiu frowned slightly, "Didn't you just call that person Zhao Deaf?"

How can you hear a dog barking?

"Yes, someone passed by his house late at night a few days ago. Seeing that the door was open, he took a bold look and took a quick look. Unexpectedly, there were several people standing in the courtyard. Deaf Zhao stood there, looking very uncomfortable."

"The dog barked, but those people didn't seem to hear it, and Deaf Zhao didn't stop either."

"Everyone was wondering what would happen, but today they still went out and bought a lot of pig skins."

The shopkeeper stared here for a long time. Seeing that the waiter hadn't moved yet, he couldn't help but urge him.

"Why haven't you come to get the wine?"

The waiter quickly thanked Wen Jiu again and hurriedly brought the wine.

Jiang Yaoxi looked at the table of food and lost her appetite.

So does Wen Jiu.

Su Shi, on the other hand, ate with gusto.

He is indeed a well-informed elder brother.

"What do you think?"

Su Shi put down the chopsticks in his hand after eating and drinking.

"I don't know, this is senior brother's ghost hunting order."

Jiang Yaoxi was still thinking about Lin Chuji at this time.

Wen Jiu also shook his head, not knowing much.

"Then let's go to Deaf Zhao's house to take a look at it together. If there are ghosts, it will make you feel better."

Do you want to see people sewing up corpses? It doesn’t matter if this knowledge doesn’t increase.

It was said to be night, but midnight was the time for their actions.

Wen Jiu and Jiang Yaoxi didn't have dinner, they were going to go out for a stroll.

It's a good thing to stay in an inn. You can see acquaintances within a few steps of walking out.

It was the Lin Chuji who had just become a civil servant who should not have met here and now.

Jiang Yaoxi's eyes stayed on the man and woman in front and never moved away.

Wen Jiu followed her gaze and looked over.

What was she talking about? Without Jiang Yaoxi, there will still be others.

Jiang Yaoxi bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were red, and she clenched her hands unconsciously. She didn't even realize that her nails were embedded in her palms.

"Sister, why don't you go up and ask clearly?"

The two people in front were messing around with each other recklessly on the street, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

In fact, there is no need to ask at all.

"There must be some misunderstanding."

You might as well say that you recognized the wrong person, Wen Jiu thought to himself.

After Lin Chuji and the woman left, Wen Jiu pulled Jiang Yaoxi to the stall.
