"You have sharp eyes, and you noticed the difference between our place and other places as soon as you came here."

Yi Cheng was over fifty years old, and his old face was full of wrinkles. When he heard the question, he gave Qin Shaoyou a surprised look.

"We traveled far and wide without good eyesight. Li Yicheng, please tell us all the time, what happened here?

Originally, we didn't want to inquire about it. After all, we are away from home. One thing more is worse than one thing less.

But people along the way are all staring at our boss' daughter with strange eyes, and the situation of those children makes us really worried..."

Qin Shaoyou's eloquent tongue made this lie as true as it was true.

Li Yicheng believed his words, glanced at Su Jianqing, and said, "That good girl who looks like a porcelain doll is the daughter of your boss? Then you have to protect her! Especially at night, send more Get someone to guard her, block the doors and windows tightly, and don't let her go out during the day."

Seeing that Qin Shaoyou had made a breakthrough, Zhu Xiucai walked over, pretending to be surprised and curious and asked, "Li Yicheng, why is this?"

He also took out a few copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Yicheng's hands: "I bought this money to treat Yicheng to a drink, don't think it's too little."

Li Yicheng pretended to evade it for a while, then quickly put away the copper coins, and said in a low voice: "Our place is not peaceful...haunted!"

"Huh? Haunted? Is it real or not?"

Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai pretended to be frightened.

Li Yicheng was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, raised his eyebrows and said, "What did I lie to you for? Our place is really haunted, and that ghost only catches children!"

"About half a year ago, we have been haunted by ghosts here. The ghost would appear at night every now and then, and take children away.

The family who lost their child at first thought that some paihuazi or refugees had sneaked into the city, stole the child, and ran to the county government to report the case. As a result, the arresters in the county government soon took the servants and found him outside the city. The corpse of a child who was devoured. The corpse was gnawed, it was too horrible to look at! Only a skeleton and a little bit of broken flesh remained, and the identity was only identified by the clothes..."

"Where's the night watchman here? They're all haunted, don't they care?" Zhu Xiucai couldn't help interjecting.

The haunting had been going on for half a year, and it was still going on, which made him wonder whether the night watchman here had neglected his duty or not.

But Li Yicheng said: "It's in charge, who said it's not in charge? Our night watchman here launched an investigation immediately.

It's a pity that the ghost is not only cunning, but also very powerful. Our night watchmen here locked it several times, but it slipped away, and even killed several night watchmen in reverse.

Those night watchmen who died were all good men, what a pity!

In fact, the reason why our people keep children at home and in special cages is also the suggestion of the night watchman.

According to their investigation, the ghost has some strange abilities and can blend in the crowd. Once a child is spotted by it, it will soon catch and eat the child.

You are walking around the city with the little girl today without any cover, as if you are telling the ghost that I have a child here, come and eat, everyone will look at you strangely, it is not surprising at all. "

"So that's the case." Zhu Xiucai frowned, pretending to be very nervous and worried, and at the same time said angrily: "It's a pity that when I entered the city, I gave the defenders tea money, and they actually Don't even remind me."

Li Yicheng sighed: "It's useless to remind you. That ghost doesn't only commit crimes in the city, it also goes to many towns outside the city. There is a great possibility that the daughter of your boss has been seen by that ghost long ago." , and stared at it."

Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes: "So, that ghost will definitely come to arrest our boss's daughter tonight? Let's go to the Yamen of the Zhenyaosi to report the case, and ask the night watchman to come and watch, won't we be able to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit tonight? Catch that ghost?"

Li Yicheng shook his head: "That ghost is cunning, if it is so easy to catch, our night watchmen here won't be able to catch it for half a year. According to the way that ghost has done in the past, it can be regarded as targeting your master." Even if you don’t have a daughter of your own, you may not start immediately, maybe you will use your master’s daughter as a cover to deceive the night watchman, so as to attack other children.”

"But the other children didn't go to the street?" Zhu Xiucai said.

Li Yicheng said: "There are always disobedient children who will look out from the gaps in doors, windows and even walls, and they will also be targeted by that ghost."

Qin Shaoyou thought of the child who was peeking at the street from behind the window before, and nodded involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "So, everyone is so taboo about this matter, because they are afraid that the ghost will hear about it and take revenge?"

"That's right." Li Yicheng nodded: "Although that ghost is not interested in adults, the postmen you asked just now all have children in their families. , will be heard by the ghost, so they will take revenge and take their children away. In fact, when you entered the city, the soldiers at the city gate did not dare to remind you more, which is probably the reason~lightnovelpub.net~Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai nodded.

This reason makes sense.

However, another confusion arose in their hearts.

"Then why aren't you afraid?"

"My two sons are grown up, and neither married a wife to have children. What do I have to be afraid of?"

When Li Yicheng mentioned his two sons, his mood was very complicated, both happy and sad.

I am happy because there are no children at home, so I don't have to worry about it every day.

Sadness is also because my son is not up to date, and he hasn't married a wife to give birth to a child until now...

Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai looked at each other. They wanted to comfort Li Yicheng, but at first glance they thought that they didn't have a family either, so they really couldn't say words of comfort.

They could only continue to ask for information related to the case: "Li Yicheng, we still have a question. Since there are ghosts catching children here, why didn't anyone take his children and escape to other places?"

"Escape? If I could escape, I would have escaped long ago, but unfortunately I couldn't escape."

With a bitter face, Li Yicheng sighed faintly.

"Actually, in the early days of haunting, some people wanted to run away. Our magistrate and the chief banner officer of the town demon division were very enlightened, and even issued a guide certificate.

But these people who run away, just ran the day before, will turn back inexplicably the next day.

When I asked them how they came back, they couldn't explain clearly, as if they had encountered a ghost hitting a wall, and they turned back without knowing it.

There are also people who died outside directly, the kind where the whole family died, the children were eaten by ghosts, and the adults were disemboweled and ate their hearts and lungs by unknown wild beasts.

After several such incidents, no one dared to run away, hiding at home, maybe it would be safer.

Right now, we can only hope that the night watchmen can catch this ghost sooner, and give everyone peace..."
