Chapter 7 The evil spirit is actually herself


Chapter 7 The evil spirit is actually herself

The little maid was also frightened, turned around and fled into the house.

Xiao Baojing grabbed her and couldn't believe it: "You... you are alive?!"

The little maid hugged the broom tightly: "You discovered it!"

Xiao Baojing was shocked, she met a monster!

But then again, although this painted puppet is a spirit, strictly speaking, she is actually a spirit herself. Since they are the same kind, what does she have to be afraid of?

She said openly: "My name is Xiao Baojing."

"Greetings to Your Highness the Princess." The little maid pointed her orchid fingers and bowed obediently, "I am Yaoyao."

Xiao Baojing was very embarrassed.

The salesman just called her little princess, but he didn't expect the little maid to follow suit and call her princess.

Girls build friendships easily.

After Xiao Baojing praised Yao Yao for her beautiful double-ringed bun, Yao Yao seemed to be very happy. She took Xiao Baojing's hand affectionately and wanted to take her to visit the town.

Yaoyao brought Xiao Baojing into a dilapidated and mottled house.

There is a locust tree with lush leaves in the yard. Under the tree is an old faded wooden table. On the table are four sets of bowls and chopsticks and several plates of wood-carved stir-fries. The bowl in the middle can be seen as braised pork.

Yaoyao happily said: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Xiao Baojing looked around curiously.

So this is Yaoyao’s home?

Through the rotten wooden window covered with spider silk, Xiao Baojing saw a thin puppet that looked like a middle-aged man lying in the room, with pale and heavy paint on his face, as if he was seriously ill.

The middle-aged woman puppet wearing an apron sat at the door of the kitchen with a sullen expression, her movements seemed to be wiping tears.

There is also a child puppet holding a small wooden sword in a playful pose. The painted face is smiling and carefree, as if it is welcoming its sister to bring her friends home to play.

"This is my father and mother, and this is my younger brother." Yaoyao introduced and asked Xiao Baojing to sit down. "Your Highness, please try my mother's braised pork. My family can only have a bowl of braised pork during the Chinese New Year. I Mom’s craftsmanship is so good!”

She picked up a piece of braised pork carved from wood and put it into the bowl in front of Xiao Baojing.

Xiao Baojing couldn't help but feel hairy all over as she watched Yaoyao chewing wood with a happy face.

She thought she had met the same kind, but she didn't expect that the "same kind" turned around and started chewing on the wood.

Are they all weirdos like this?

As Yaoyao chewed, her little painted face suddenly shed two lines of white paint.

Xiao Baojing guessed that the white paint was roughly equivalent to human tears.

She handed over the handkerchief hesitantly: "Why are you crying?"

"Braised pork...it's not delicious at all..." Yaoyao cried loudly, clutching her handkerchief, still holding the piece of uneaten meat in her mouth, "Oh oh oh, daddy, mother, I don't eat braised pork. No, I will never eat braised pork again!”

Xiao Baojing chatted.

Braised pork made of wood is definitely not delicious.

The mountain wind blows off the leaves of the locust tree.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly outside.

The soldiers' shouts came from far away: "According to the order of the county governor, there is an evil spirit in Furong Town causing harm to people's lives. I specially ordered the demon subduing master to eliminate the evil spirits and defend the road, burn out the evil spirits and protect peace!"

Xiao Baojing ran to the door to peek.

Soldiers in armor rode on horseback and dropped buckets of tung oil all over the town. Demon subduing masters in hosta robes held peach wood swords and plastered the doors of shops and houses with slogans to suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits. Talisman.

As they recited the spell, a raging fire burst into flames and quickly spread to the entire town.

One by one, the puppet townspeople fell into the sea of ​​fire, and their painted faces gradually twisted into expressions of pain. "Burn well! This is the price for harming me! I will burn you until your souls are gone, and I will see how you evil ghosts can behave like monsters! If you can't fight against me when you are alive, can you beat me when you are dead?!"

Arrogant and domineering voices came from the end of the street.

Xiao Baojing looked secretly and saw that it was Qiu Yuejian who came to see the salesman a few days ago.

She was lying on a stretcher. Although she had lost her legs, her brows and eyes were full of viciousness.

Xiao Baojing suddenly understood.

It turned out that they were trapped in the town a few days ago and had to chop off their legs before leaving.

Yaoyao is still crying about the bowl of braised pork.

Xiao Baojing was afraid that her crying would attract soldiers, so she quickly covered her mouth and slipped out of the back door.

He wanted to go back to the Bajiao courtyard and hide, but he saw that even the courtyard was burned to the ground.

The fire burned for a whole day, and the entire Furong Town turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

It wasn't until the sun set to the west that the fire gradually stopped.

Qiu Yuejian and the government officials had already left.

The air was filled with the smell of kerosene and burnt wood. The puppet residents in the town had long been burned into white fly ash, and when the wind blew, they looked like silver butterflies flying all over the sky.

Xiao Baojing sat blankly in front of the ruins holding Yaoyao in her arms.

She remembered that there is a profession in this world called the Demon Subduer, which specializes in dealing with spirits and ghosts.

The evil spirit is actually herself!

"Braised pork..."

Yaoyao sobbed and burped, looked around blankly, and then realized: "What's going on...?"

Xiao Baojing told the story of the town being burned.

Yaoyao stood up suddenly: "We didn't harm her! Later, the grandparents in the town even carried lanterns to show them the way. It was them who made the fuss. It must be that we deliberately teased them and wanted to keep them in the town to make puppets. , and then he yelled like a ghost, and suddenly cut off his own foot!”

Xiao Baojing: "Huh?"

Yaoyao glanced at the ruins of Furong Town in despair, white paint burst out of her eyes: "They destroyed my home, I will fight with them!"

She rushed out like an arrow.

Xiao Baojing was very anxious: "Yaoyao, wait for me!"

But she couldn't catch up with Yaoyao at all.

She supported her body that was almost falling apart and watched as she disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

She could only comfort herself that Yaoyao was different from the lifeless puppets in the town.

Maybe he has some special skills and life-saving skills?

It was dusk, and the sound of ringing bells came from far away on the mountain road.

The seller carried his burden and slowly returned to the town.

What the fox can see is the charred desolation after the fire.

His plantain garden was turned into a pile of ruins, and the ashes from the burning puppets swayed in the mountain wind at dusk, falling on his dark blue clothes and shoulders, like thousands of falling silver butterflies.

His little princess was lying alone on the ground, her eyes red, as if she had been bullied by someone.

Did Sheriff Julu do it?

The young man's thin lips curved into a smile, and his long eyelashes cast dangerous shadows at the end of his eyes.
