Huoyan Village

early morning

Li Wei woke up from the dream, his heart was still beating violently, and cold sweat couldn't stop coming out.

He had been traveling from the earth to this strange world for three days. These three days have been nightmares every day, causing people to be exhausted and have no peace.

"Xiao Wei, are you awake?"

"Since you wake up, go to Zhenyushi to Dianmao! Today is the day when you become a regular in Zhenyushi, so don't be late."

A cold voice sounded from the side. Li Wei turned her head and saw a pretty figure sitting next to the dressing mirror, combed her hair bit by bit.

I couldn't see the specific appearance of the figure, but I could only see the thick hair. As the comb passed by, strands fell to the ground. The ground was covered with dense hair, and they were wriggling like maggots, tangled together.

You can even smell their rancid smell.

"Hehehe~"

On the other side, a little girl was sewing a doll with a needle and thread. Whenever she stitched, the doll would make a pleasant scream.

There was an old dog at the door, hunched over, and at this moment it was looking at him with a smile, making a giggle and coughing sound.

Li Wei's back, which was already covered in cold sweat, became stiff again. After holding on for a night of urine, he almost ran out on the spot.

"You...ahem, sister, little sister, you got up so early."

Li Wei coughed awkwardly to hide his uneasiness. Then he picked up a small bowl from the head of the bed, dipped it in the transparent liquid inside, and rubbed his eyes.

These are the cow's tears.

When I opened it again, I looked at the dressing table. All the visions had disappeared. The woman next to the dressing table, wearing this coarse cloth, was turning her head to look at him.

The little sister just played with a rag doll, while the old dog was napping.

"My brother, what's wrong? Are your eyes still uncomfortable?"

The woman said hurriedly, with concern in her voice, no longer as cold as before.

The dense hair just now seemed to disappear in an instant.

"It's okay, sister. The treatment effect of this Niu Tear is pretty good. I guess my eye disease will be cured after a while."

"I'll go to Dianmao first. It is said that today the branch of the town and imperial department in our village will escort a group of criminals, and I need to go for interrogation as soon as possible."

Li Wei dressed up very carefully and was about to run away. However, she was stopped by her sister Li Fei.

"You kid, why are you anxious? Bring your food with me, Shinji doesn't care about your breakfast."

"Also, I don't know where you learned how to cure your eyes. If it really doesn't work, let's go to the town to see it. You can't delay your illness because of money."

"I heard that the doctors in the town now have any magical medicine for penicillin. Although I heard that the thing is very expensive,..."

"I know, I know, I'm fine, sister, I'm going to be late... Let's go first!"

Li Wei didn't want to stay in this room for a moment, and always felt that she would die inexplicably after staying for a long time.

When will you not run away now?

......

At this moment, it was still early, and the thick morning fog was still filling the village. The bonfires on the streets in the village were still slightly bright. Although the weather was dim, many villagers had already gotten up early and started to work hard in the thick fog.

Li Yilu lowered his head and did not look at the dark figures of the villagers in the fog around him. He always felt that they were looking at him with a strange look.

But I couldn't turn around and went back, so I had to bite the bullet and walk to the deepest part of the village.

Staying in front of a two-story building.

【Zhenyushi】

There was no one holding a hand at the gate of Zhenyusi, only two huge stone lions three meters tall.

No villagers dare to come to this place. After all, it is well known that the Zhenyushi is the largest place of punishment in the empire. It has the right to detain criminals, interrogate, deal with them, and be in the trinity. In the empire, it can be said that passers-by are well-known.

Although it is the Zhenyu Secretariat, it is more suitable to be called Zhenyu Secretariat.

Of course, the Zhenyu Department of Huoyan Village is just the smallest branch.

This is because there are several huge active volcanoes in the back mountain of Huoyan Village, which led to the Zhenyusi establishing a small branch here.

Li Wei is a small yamen runner who is about to be reborn in this branch of the Zhenyu Division.

Entering the Zhenyusi Gate, passing through a dim corridor, and walking down another thirty or forty meters, Li Wei walked to a huge wooden door stained with red copper paint.

Pushing open the door, an old man in his sixties was looking at the newspaper in his hand with black sunglasses, holding a long cigarette pole in his left hand, and pinching a stack of newspapers in his right hand.

"Old Zhang, click Mao!"

Li Wei said in a deep voice.

"It's you boy... Let's see, it's only one minute now, well... According to those Westerners, this is only five:20? This Westerner's statement is weird. But time is more accurate than hourglass."

"Speaking of this, you came so early today?"

Old Li picked up the cigarette pole and pressed it on the black sunglasses, revealing the empty hole, with a trace of bloodshot eye sockets, then glanced at the clock on the table and said.

Li Wei suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and replied: "When yesterday, the amount was dispersed, I informed that a group of prisoners would be sent here today, so come here early to see if anything can be interrogated. You also know that my merits have been accumulated almost. After becoming a regular today, I want to move to the next level as soon as possible. Now that prices are soaring, if you don't move downward, my sisters and sisters at home can't even afford to eat."

"Oh... It's true. The empire's external lines are tight, and the three major sects are also making a big fuss in China. The price is... Alas... I did send a group of prisoners yesterday, with a lot of people, fifteen people. It is said that they are all related to the explosion in the southwest part of Haichengfu."

Old Man Zhang put down the newspaper, took a sip of cigarette, twisted his neck by 180 degrees, pulled it long, and said with his eyes narrowed.

The uneasy atmosphere became more and more intense.

"The explosion in the southwest area? Didn't it mean it was a gas explosion?" Looking at Lao Zhang's strange appearance, Li Wei's heart beat hard again, quietly retreated a little, and asked quietly.

"Gas explosion? Hehe, after being on duty in Zhenyushi for so long, do you still believe in the Haichengfu's rhetoric?"

Old Zhang laughed, then looked around, and after not finding anyone, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is a haunted!"

When he was talking about ghosts, he saw that the newspaper in his hand was visible to the naked eye, and in a moment, it had already dyed the newspaper scarlet red.

A twisted and ominous feeling instantly spread, and the temperature around it dropped to freezing point in an instant.

ghost?

How dare you say it!

"...Ahem, Lao Zhang, you are really kidding. What era is now? You are still in a terrifying and sensible way. Now you are paying attention to science."

Li Wei took a step back and watched Lao Zhang speak righteously.

What the hell is it!

The first rule he summed up after coming to this world: Never believe in the existence of ghosts.

Even if it's right in front of you!
