Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 117 The Little Lady's Embroidered Shoes

The difference between one person walking on the Yin-Yang path and another is sometimes even greater than that between a person and a dog.

Now Liu Bai feels that the difference between one paper carriage and another is actually the same.

He was now sitting in Gongsun Shi's carriage, and he could not help but compare it with Master Ma's carriage.

Master Ma's carriage can only be used for running. If you sit in it for too long, your butt will hurt from the shaking.

But what about Gongsun Shi?
When speeding on the road, one could only see afterimages, but Liu Bai, who was sitting in the car, did not react at all, as if he was walking on flat ground.

At first, Gongsun Shi said he wanted to ride a horse so that he could go faster.

But Liu Bai couldn't ride it at all, so he had no choice but to take out his rarely used carriage.

Situ Hong saw Liu Bai's expression at that time and explained that the car of the owner of the Red Lantern Festival was much better than this.

But no matter what she said, Liu Bai didn't let her follow.

Instead, he asked her to go back and tell Elder Situ about the situation, saying that he had followed the Short Knife Gang to the Maple Leaf Ferry.

To the east of Xueshi City there is a large river flowing out of Mt. Xian, called Shenqian River.

The Maple Leaf Ferry is located on the bank of the Shenqian River, about ten kilometers away from the Blood Food City.

Gongsun Shi’s carriage was fast and they arrived in just half an hour.

Because of its geographical location and the large volume of goods traded, the Maple Leaf Ferry is almost like a large market town.

When Liu Bai finally arrived, the carriage slowed down and he finally understood why this place was called Maple Leaf Ferry.

Because there are two rows of tall maple trees planted on both sides of the ferry. It is autumn now, and the maple leaves are falling from the trees, making the whole place look yellow and very beautiful.

Even the carriage rolling over the bluestone slabs was stepping on maple leaves one after another.

"The three major families all have businesses here, and the Zhou family has the most."

"Now the Wufutang also wants to get a piece of the pie and has already done it to us several times."

Liu Bai looked at the situation outside the window and heard Gongsun Shi's voice.

Looking at the piece of land he just passed, he looked back from the window and saw his own property. Well... the business of the Red Light House was very good. Even in broad daylight, there was a constant stream of people coming to the door.

There are also many people who walk on ghosts among them.

Sure enough, there are only zero times and countless times to break the rules of lighting a fire.

The person driving the carriage in front was also a ghost who had gathered the five energies. He was even the one who had been to Huangliang Town before. His name seemed to be Ding Rui.

He is an unkempt and dissolute man.

Unlike a fake playboy like Situ Liang, he is a real playboy.

"Young Boss, the... the Master of the Fang, we have arrived."

As Ding Rui spoke, he jumped out of the carriage, and Liu Bai and Gongsun Shi followed closely behind him.

There was a house with a knife hanging on it on the side of the road. There was nothing else, and it didn't look like there were any signs of haunting. Liu Bai turned around and looked at Gongsun Shi.

The latter explained: "This is where our Short Knife Gang rests. The troublemaker is at the ferry warehouse. I heard that there is someone who escaped from the ferry here."

"Let's first ask what's going on."

As soon as I entered the house, I could feel a warmth, obviously someone had just gone too far.

In addition, there is a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine.

Liu Bai followed into the inner room and saw clearly that there was a man without lower limbs lying on the bed.

His face was pale, but at least he was conscious.

Seeing Gongsun Shi coming in, he still struggled to clasp his fists and said, "Greetings, Young Gang Leader."

"Yes, Fan Dafei, right? I remember you. What's the matter with the haunted house at the ferry warehouse?"

Fan Dafei, who had broken both legs, nodded with difficulty when he heard this, and then began to narrate what had happened during this period.

"This evil started last night..."

……

The sun sets in the west.

Several members of the Short Knife Gang first filled their stomachs at the ferry, and after returning, they inspected the warehouse here.

Finally, when they finished their patrol and returned to the warehouse entrance, they saw that the Shenqian River was flooded, but it clearly wasn't raining.

I think the rain is probably falling on Mount Dan upstream.

Even the river water became much more turbid.

Suddenly, Ge Da, who was walking at the end, pointed to the beach and said, "Look, some woman's shoes have been washed up here."

Seeing this, Fan Dafei said jokingly: "Why don't you pick it up and give it to you, Ge Da, to use. It might still have the smell."

"I don't have this habit. If I have this idea, I might as well go to a red-light house and have some fun."

"The women there are very good at making love. If you go there, you might be gone in a matter of seconds."

"Yes, but the shoes look quite new. I guess they are the embroidered shoes of a young lady from our neighborhood."

A few people chatted and laughed as they crossed the wooden bridge and headed towards their residence.

But they didn't notice that the moment they turned around after they finished speaking, the pair of embroidered shoes that were still in the muddy river water jumped onto the shore.

Then he followed in their footsteps and went to their residence.

The "tapping" sounds continued to be heard, but each time it overlapped with the sound of their footsteps, and there was no evil aura revealed.

Therefore, no one discovered it.

When night came, Ge Da was sleeping soundly in his room, but in a trance, he suddenly seemed to hear footsteps in his room.

He opened his eyes almost instantly.

Of course, he ignited his own life fire at first. He was on the bank of the Shenqian River. The danger of this big river was no less than that in the old woods.

It is even more dangerous than the forest. After all, it is easy to enter the old forest, but it is not easy to enter the big rivers.

But after lighting the life fire, he didn't notice anything else unusual, which means... it wasn't evil.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The noise of him lighting the life fire woke up Fan Dafei and others next door. Several of them even shouted, asking if something had happened.

This kind of thing happens often.

We are all here, living together, and we have to stick together to live long.

Ge Da was about to say it was nothing, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the footsteps again.

"What a ghost."

But before he could get up, he suddenly felt a pair of feet stepping heavily on his chest.

In just one move, the whole bed collapsed.

He just felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn't speak at all. Then, he seemed to hear the sound of his ribs breaking.

Afterwards, he felt as if his chest and abdomen were stepped on... and pierced.

He struggled to get up and see what had killed him.

But in the end, he used all his strength and finally saw clearly that it was a pair of red...embroidered shoes.

……

"You mean, that evil spirit doesn't have any evil aura on it?" Gongsun Shi's voice contained a hint of surprise.

"Correct."

Fan Dafei nodded with difficulty. "Later, I fought desperately with several other brothers, and in the end, it was Lao Jiu who fought desperately to get me out. In the end, I collapsed under the human-like stone at the entrance to the warehouse, and was only picked up this morning."

"But I didn't expect that the few people who were delivering the goods today, unaware of the situation, would just walk in directly."

“It hasn’t come out yet.”

After Fan Dafei finished speaking, Ding Rui, who had been squatting on the chair and had not sat down, said, "There is something strange about those embroidered shoes."

"The evil spirit is probably hiding in those embroidered shoes, and the embroidered shoes can block the evil spirit's aura, so you have never been able to find the true form of the evil spirit."

Looking at all the ghost walkers in the entire Blood Food City, Ding Rui can be considered one of the more experienced ones.

The more times he traveled, the more he saw, so he got the general idea just by listening to what Fan Dafei said.

Liu Bai also listened to the whole thing silently, "Let's go, no matter how much we talk, we still have to go and see what's going on with that evil spirit first."

What he was more worried about was Hu Wei's safety.

"That's right, let's go take a look first." Gongsun Shi said, "Fan Dafei, you should stay here and take good care of your injuries first. The gang will help you deal with it later."

"Thank you, Young Boss. Thank you, Young Boss."

The three of them went out, and Gongsun Shi led the way, heading towards the direction of the ferry warehouse.

He was not worried about Liu Bai. No matter when, if a person with a burning spirit body worried about the safety of a person who gathered the five qi and walked into the Yin world... that would be meddling in other people's business.

"Young Boss, are you really going to take care of Fan Dafei's funeral? It's obvious that he ran away because he was afraid of death, so he survived."

Ding Rui asked as he walked, holding his hands behind his head.

"The follow-up is a matter for follow-up. People are still injured, so we can't let the gang members down now."

Gongsun Shi said in a calm tone.

Liu Bai was not surprised to hear this. After all, for Gongsun Shi to become the young gang leader, he must have used some tricks.

Just walk a short distance in the northwest direction, pass through a few alleys, and even if you leave the ferry town, you will see stretches of mudflats in front of you.

That is, in this mudflat, adjacent to the river mouth, there are a number of houses connected together.

"That's the warehouse of our Short Knife Gang."

Gongsun Shi pointed and said, "Little brother, you have one in the Red Lantern Festival, but in another direction. I'll take you there after we've dealt with this matter."

"it is good."

Liu Bai agreed and walked along the wooden bridge over the mudflat. After just a short walk, he arrived near the warehouse.

Ding Rui, who was at the front, immediately lit the fire and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Gongsun Shi, who came after that, lit the fire and reached out to touch the big rooster on his shoulder.

The latter immediately raised his head and let out a series of “Oh-oh-oh” sounds.

The sound spread far away along the river bank in front of the god.

Finally, Liu Bai also lit a fire, then turned around and looked at the grass on his shoulder... The grass popped up stealthily, then waved its little hand, pointed at the rooms in front, and said in a low voice:
"The evil spirit is just ahead, sir, hurry up!"

Liu Bai's face twitched. Fortunately, he never expected that the grass thing would be useful!
The three of them came to the front of these warehouses respectively. Ding Rui, who was in the front, reached out and felt around in his arms, and finally took out a small paper pigeon.

He rubbed his right hand and lit the tail of the paper pigeon.

The paper pigeon flew up on the spot, and a sharp cry came out of its mouth, "My butt is on fire, my butt is on fire, come with me quickly."

As it spoke, it flapped its wings and walked forward, while Ding Rui touched his chest.

Finally he pulled out a knife handle.

With a flick of his hand, a blade emerged from the handle and finally turned into a short knife.

This shady person has many methods.

But Liu Bai, who was walking at the end, suddenly heard the sound of someone coming ashore behind him.

It was as if someone had climbed out of the Shenqian River and was shaking off the water droplets on his body.

And there seemed to be a faint lotus fragrance lingering at the tip of my nose.
