Chapter 221 It’s not a ghost or a god, it’s a common

"You're fine, it's great!" Xu Mu said, and suddenly looked ashamed again. "I saw a fire on the mountain last night. Xu wanted to go and check it out, but Xu had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. First, I felt that I wouldn't be able to do anything when I walked back to the mountain. Second, second, I don't believe it, Xu actually encountered a secret pass."

"It's good if Mr. Xu has the heart."

"I really encountered a secret crossing!" Xu Mu was ashamed and was afraid that they would not believe it, so he repeated, "It was such a long group of ghosts, at least dozens of them, from north to south. Xu was still seen by them. But I don't know if Xu was lucky or they were disciplined, so I didn't make things difficult for Xu..."

"Mr. Xu is a filial son and a kind person. If you think ghosts don't want to disturb you."

"If this is the case, then how could my mother..."

"Let's have a look."

“Okay…”

Xu Mu made a gesture of asking:

"Sir, please!"

The housing and store in Zhijiang County is far less tense than Changjing. The Xu family is not a wealthy family, but there is also a yard in the city.

However, the Xu family's yard is far less particular than that of Changjing and Yidu. It is more like the yard of a farmer's family outside the city. It is a small courtyard surrounded by a circle of earthen walls. It is even more planted with vegetables inside, and the several houses are better than those of the cottages outside the city.

Xu Mu said as he walked: "Last night, Xu was walking on the road and saw the flames on the mountain burning constantly, but he didn't know how it started? How could it catch fire?"

"The houses in Taoist temple are all made of wood and are flammable. Once they are burned, they will naturally be difficult to extinguish for a while."

"I wonder what happened to the master of Lei Qingguan?"

"I don't know if he escaped the fire disaster."

"When Xu was walking on the road, he met two Taoist boys in the Taoist temple, but they just fled in a hurry. Xu asked them about the situation between the gentleman and the Guanzhu, but they didn't answer. I don't know if he had also encountered a strange crossing or something else." Xu Mu said, and he was worried, "Xu saw that they were carrying a lot of money and the Guanzhu was bedridden, so he couldn't help but worry."

"Mr. Xu is indeed a kind person." Song You said to him, his tone as sincere as ever, "As for that viewer, life and death are destined to be born and died, it all depends on fate."

“A reasonable and reasonable…”

Xu Mu obviously believed in these things, and he nodded and sighed with a long sigh: "The master of Lei Qingguan has real skills. Over the years, although the fees have been high and he likes to make money, I heard that he has indeed done some good things for the people under the mountain, so there should be no trouble."

When Song You heard this, he only smiled but didn't say anything.

Two horses were parked in the yard, and the swordsman's dark horse needed to be tied, but the red horse did not need it.

Xu Mu took Song You to the room of Xu's mother.

Song You stood at the door and saw that the Xu family's mother was completely white and had an old face. She sat by the bed, staring at the ground without moving, and there was nothing unusual.

The room has a unique body odor for the elderly.

"She was quiet at this time. She had always been like this. There were always a few times a day for strange behaviors and talk to herself. Sometimes, sometimes it was normal, sometimes like now, sitting still without moving. This afternoon, she was still gesturing. "Sir, see that her mother was sitting still, she smiled awkwardly, "Sir, don't worry, Xu, please ask the house to get some food first, and have dinner first, and rest at Xu's house tonight. When my mother does something strange again, I will call her again."

“…”

Song You took a deep breath and felt a faint breath of death, but he didn't say anything. He just saluted Xu Mu and said, "I won't refuse Xu Gong much, so I will be disturbed."

"How can a sir come to help?"

Song You smiled and continued, "It's just that my family and my companions are not scammed. I'm used to sleeping in the open outside. Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too upset. He just eats a meal as usual and finds a room to sleep with his companions for one night. He's very grateful. In addition, many of them are worthy of it."

"Don't worry, sir, you won't be upset!"

Xu Mu took Song You to the main hall and asked them to sit down. Then he asked his wife to cook, and went out to cut his flesh and buy wine.

During this period, some sounds came from the Xu mother's room. The elderly were talking to themselves, which attracted the attention of the Sanhua Empress and made her run to the door to stare at her without blinking to relieve her curiosity. However, Song You turned his head and looked for a while, thought for a moment, then withdrew her gaze.

When Xu Mu came back from cutting meat and selling wine, the room became quiet again. Song You did not mention what had happened just now, but just talked to him as usual.

The north is not as rich as the south, and the harvest last year was not good. Although the Xu family was not poor, it was impossible to have big fish and meat. However, the wife of the Xu family was very virtuous and in a hurry, she also brought a good meal.

The earliest ripe peas were just out and very tender. The wife of the Xu family used them to stir-fry the bacon. After they were cooked, they covered the cooked rice and made it into a recipe similar to dry rice. The food was very fragrant. The meat that Xu Mu went out to cook meatball soup and stir-fry another plate of dishes. When they were cooked, they smelled it very fragrant.

After the meal was ready, the wife of the Xu family took the first place and went to the Xu family's mother's house. Then she kept serving in the house and never came out again. She only left Xu Mu to entertain Song You and his party.

Green ant fresh wine, put it in a thick bowl.

"The wine brewed in our small places is not as good as the fine wines in Changjing City, so don't bother with it."

"We are also just passers-by in Changjing City."

“No matter how thick the wine is, it can intoxicate.”

"Meow……"

"It's good that you don't bother Maoer. I have a few brothers and sisters in my family. There is also a brother living in the city. He is also a hospitality person. It's too late today. I'll call him tomorrow and treat you two more." Xu Mu said and called them to use their chopsticks. "The food is simple, but this meatball soup and pea rice are also my mother's favorite."

"Then I have to let the old man eat more."

“Haha, don’t worry about this…”

With the light of the oil lamp, everyone can eat and drink.

During the meal, Xu's mother talked nonsense for a moment. Song You went to take a look, but didn't say anything. She came back and continued to have a meal.

The swordsman has a good drinker and never gets drunk with a thousand cups.

Xu Mu was a little drunk. After dinner, he forgot to ask Song You if he could see anything, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Then the Xu family's wife arranged a room for them and laid clean mattresses. Song You, Sanhua Empress and the swordsman stayed at the Xu family for one night. At night, the Xu family's mother was not at ease. The Xu family's wife was afraid of disturbing the guests' rest and fearing invisible ghosts, and even more afraid of the mother's mistakes. She comforted her in the house. During the quiet night, all the sounds came to Song You and Sanhua Empress.

Even late at night, whenever I heard anything moving in the room there, the three-cao cat had to come out of the quilt and stretched its neck to stare at it.

I don't know how much curiosity is.

Early the next morning.

The wife of the Xu family made meat porridge again, which should have been taken care of by the elderly. Song You and others benefited from it.

After eating, the Xu family's mother fell ill again, sometimes talking to herself and sometimes doing some strange moves. Xu Mu and her wife went to comfort her.

While comforting, I was also very frightened.

I saw the old man chatting with invisible people, his voice was hard to hear. He looked for clothes everywhere, not knowing who to wear them for, and at the same time he wanted to find rice. He had just eaten.

Xu Mu was about to turn around and ask the Taoist, whether his mother was disturbed by ghosts or was infected with something evil, but she saw that the Taoist and the swordsman who were walking with her had packed her luggage and put the bag on the horse's back. She stood behind them and looked at them calmly.

"I'm just about to say goodbye to you."

"Sir, are you leaving?"

"Please rest assured by Mr. Xu." Song You stood still. The red horse behind him had no reins. He stood quietly behind him, staring at the couple, with a three-cake cat at his feet, and was sitting obediently licking his claws. "I observed Lingtang last night and this morning, and I did not see any little ghosts coming to disturb him. Lingtang had no evil spirits on his body. All the weirdness was neither caused by the ghost nor the evil spirits entering his body. They were ordinary."

“That’s…”

Xu Mu couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's just that the old man is old and approaching his deadline, he is in a state of consciousness and is in a daze." Song You turned his head to look at Xu's mother, "The old man used to work hard, but fortunately he was filial and cared for his children. He has not been seriously ill until now, which is really rare."

"Big...the deadline is coming?"

“That’s right.”

"Then..." Xu Mu said blankly, "Why did that mother talk nonsense and greet the invisible people?"

"I am confused and in a daze." Song You repeated patiently, "I am old and missed my old friends, so my memories once surged into my heart. In a daze, I felt that I had seen an old friend. Sometimes I even couldn't remember my name, but I just thought I had forgotten it, but I didn't."

"Then she..."

Xu Mu looked at his mother again.

"Mr. Xu couldn't hear what his mother was saying, but he could only hear it a little more clearly."

"What did you say..."

"It should be because Lingtang suffered too much when he was young, and he was afraid that his children would not have enough food and could not wear warm clothes. He was obsessed with him and was concerned about his family." Song You shook his head, "I am good at this. I have a destiny to meet Mr. Xu. I also thank Mr. Xu and his wife for their good food and good food. I will not deceive Mr. Xu. I just told him truthfully so that Mr. Xu should not spend money and effort to find other experts. Unless they are liars in the world, they will definitely be consistent with what I said below."

“…”

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, remembering that his mother had worked hard to pull her brother and sister to grow up when she was young. When she looked at her mother who was stupid and looking for clothes, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

He opened his mouth again, as if he wanted to refute, but he could not say anything to refute.

He is superstitious about the theory of ghosts and gods, but he can also distinguish right from wrong.

"I ate two meals from Mr. Xu and stayed for another night, but didn't help me. I feel deeply sorry, so I can only tell Mr. Xu that the deadline for Lingtang is approaching. In my opinion, it may be within three days." Song You looked at Xu's mother's almost pure silver hair and clean clothes, and felt that this was not a sad thing. Natural old age and death without illness and pain have been a luxury since ancient times. "Mr. Xu should not be too sad. You just need to give Lingtang more food that you like on weekdays and call back all the brothers and sisters in the distance. It is enough."

"this……"

Xu Mu stood there blankly, but his eyes were red.

The wife of the Xu family also covered her face and cried.

Song You bowed to them to express his gratitude. After saying goodbye, he led the three cat cats and the red horse out of the Xu family.
