Chapter 35 The Most Beautiful Xiangxi (35)

When Wang Pengpai was preparing things, he always felt a chill on his back, as if he was being watched by something, and this feeling of being watched was everywhere, which made him feel numb.

Zhao Hongtu and the others also had this feeling.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, there was still an hour before the third day of the bath, and they gathered together again and discussed in a low voice what they had prepared. To be on the safe side, they did not prepare anything like "making the baby more brave", "more agile" or "stronger", but picked out the shortest among the tall ones, carefully selecting some unconventional things that would not have such a big impact.

For example, gold, silver, and liters, each person prepared no more than three things.

Even so, the baby's favorability of each of them reached a minimum of 6 points, and almost every item prepared could increase the favorability by 2 points.

"Too much."

Wang Pengpai said, and without moving his eyebrows, he gave everyone a 5. It was the safest to maintain the favorability at 5 points, neither too high nor too low.

"The midwife will come during the third day of the third month, so everyone should be careful."

"Yes."

"I'll kill one if you come."

Zhao Hongtu said, his eyebrows were sharp. After experiencing the Taofu project, he understood that the second scenic spot was more dangerous because they chose the baby.

"Don't be so nervous."

Wang Pengpai smiled and eased the tension: "Director Bing has killed the corpse flying fox king. The next ones we encounter are all minions. Just be careful."

He lowered his voice: "Pay more attention to dirty things. I always feel a chill on my back recently. Tsk, weird."

"I have the same feeling."

After hearing his words, everyone's expression was stern. Yu Hean hesitated and whispered: "Have you noticed that Wu Laoliu always follows us?"

When preparing things at the stream, stilt house, and fire pit, Yu Hean would always subconsciously look for Bingjiu's figure to comfort himself. But every time he saw Bingjiu, he saw Wu Laoliu's sneaky figure behind him several times.

"I think this old man has bad intentions, everyone be careful."

Wu Laoliu?

Wang Pengpai was stunned. He was only thinking about Bingjiu, but he didn't notice whether Wu Laoliu was following him. After Yu Hean reminded him, he thought about it carefully. Hiss, yes, every time he felt cold behind him, not only Bingjiu was there, but Wu Laoliu was also far behind him.

Damn it, is Wu Laoliu trying to make trouble? What does an aboriginal want to do?

Wang Pengpai's eyes became sharp.

Wei Xun left Yingzhu Miao Village and went to Qiebi Village. Wu Laoliu's wooden box was no longer in his hands. He had communicated with the boss from Shenxu before, and understood that with its current strength, it could not control anyone unless the person's body was completely transformed into a monster.

But Wei Xun didn't have to worry, because there were actually Wu Laoliu's spies everywhere in Yingzhu Miao Village. If Wei Xun wanted to observe someone, they could take advantage of it.

They could also blame Wu Laoliu.

In this case, Wei Xun did not stay in Yingzhu Miao Village any longer. With them staring at Wang Pengpai, he simply went to Qiebi Village. Yu Hehui appeared again. Wei Xun had a hunch that the third day of the third month ... Wei Xun did not dodge, but looked up and looked at the other person openly. The man was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

Miao Fangfei, who was holding the last battle meeting before the third day of the bath, noticed that Yu Hehui was different.

"I saw the firefly in Director Bing's hand, and Director Bing found it."

Yu Hehui smiled a little embarrassedly, and sighed like a memory: "Our hometown is in the mountains, and we can't see many things. I told my brother before that when we grow up, we will go outside to see fireflies, auroras, and the sea. I think life is so short, and many things must be seen with our own eyes, otherwise it would be a great loss."

"Ah, sorry for going off topic, let's continue."

Yu Hehui scratched his head embarrassedly, smiling shyly, looking like a big boy next door.

But——

Miao Fangfei glanced at his belly, it was not bulging, Yu Hehui didn't have a ghost baby.

Will he do it when he washes the third day later?

Miao Fangfei, Hou Feihu, Shi Tao and Lin Xi exchanged glances.

"This time, we will all do the third day of the third month ...

The evil ghost Pingping may not be satisfied.

Why don't we all gather our things together?

"Understood."

Hou Feihu nodded and whispered, "If... I'll give you my share."

Most of the things they looted were only one, such as abacus, ox horns, scales, etc. After nearly a hundred years, the preservation of these things scattered throughout Qiebi Village is completely different from other rotten furniture. They are still intact, as if... someone specially preserved them for this three-day ritual.

There is almost only one of each, which is a very obvious hint.

Either everyone will be together for the three-day ritual, or...

There is only one ghost baby who really needs to be ritually ... After all, Miao Fangfei was possessed by a ghost, and the possibility that the ghost baby in her hand was special was the greatest.

"What if the ghost that possessed her was not a good one."

In comparison, Shi Tao and Lin Xi were a little hesitant.

"What we encountered in the fetal meat tomb was the same."

Shi Tao was analyzing: "In other words, the ghost babies we got were also the same, and it was more likely that none of them was special."

"That's right."

Lin Xi muttered: "I think Yu, Yu and Hui are special, maybe he is..."

Miao Fangfei glared at Lin Xi, and he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Hey, Brother Lin, you are joking, how am I special."

Yu and Hui didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and they scratched their hair with a silly smile: "Let's see later, maybe they will wash their third day together."

Twelve o'clock noon is a delicate time point. Some people say that this time is the most yang, because it is the peak of the yang energy of the day. Some people say that this time is the most yin, because twelve o'clock is the node from yang to yin in a day.

When five dark and long shadows appeared silently at the gate of Qiebi Village, the ghostly atmosphere and the dark and gloomy pressure weighed on everyone's heart.

"It's time to wash the third day of the third month--"

Bang!

A sharp and piercing gong sounded, shattering the silence of Qiebi Village. Each shadow held a gong in his hand, knocking it as he walked, but the sound of the gong was sharp and piercing, like the creaking of a beast sharpening its teeth and claws.

"It's time to wash the third day of the third month--"

In the sharp gong sound, the shadows' voices also seemed particularly distorted, sounding weird and unpredictable, not like real human voices.

"The baby took a bath and became as strong as a mountain."

"The baby took a bath and became more and more obedient."

Wei Xun stood not far away and watched. When the five black shadows appeared and shouted, the firefly that had been quietly staying in the glass bottle suddenly became excited. It crawled up and down, revealing a sense of urgency. Wei Xun could sense its emotions, confused and excited. The ghost baby didn't know what this was, but the bath must be very important to it.

"Good boy, go."

Wei Xun opened the glass bottle and let the ghost baby out. The beautiful firefly did not leave immediately after flying out of the glass bottle, but circled around him, as if reluctant to leave.

"Do you still want to play with the ball?"

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows, and spent another thousand points as he pleased, and exchanged a purple river chariot ball for the ghost baby: "You can play with this yourself."

'Hehe, hahahaha'

The firefly landed on the purple river chariot ball, and Wei Xun vaguely heard the baby's happy and pure laughter.

'Giggle--'

The purple river chariot ball disappeared, and the firefly landed on the back of Wei Xun's hand, pacing around for a few times. Since he played with it, it had a vague good impression of this person. Especially after he killed the corpse-transformed flying fox king, that good impression became attachment, and the ghost baby vaguely understood that everything he did was helpful to him.

But it was leaving now.

The firefly rubbed the back of Wei Xun's hand reluctantly.

[You gain the trust and love of the ghost fetus (scene)]

[Time: During this journey]

[Effect: No effect]

[Note: What use is the love of the weak ghost fetus? Of course, it is useless. At best, the ghost fetus's family will treat you better.]

The ghost fetus's family?

When the five tall and thin black shadows came to Miao Fangfei and the others, the ghost fetus finally flapped its wings and flew away, and the green light flew to Yu Hehui and fell into his belly.

Yu Hehui's belly bulged.

Only Lin Xi, who was always watching Bing Jiu, noticed this scene.

He was stunned and watched the firefly fly into Yu Hehui's belly.

[The pure soul of a stillborn baby will turn into a firefly]

Lin Xi still remembered what Director Bing said, and every word he said was deeply remembered by Lin Xi.

Director Bing had a firefly in his hand, and the firefly flew to Yu Hehui's shoulder, and the pure soul of the stillborn baby would turn into a firefly.

Fireflies, ghost babies, ghost babies, fireflies.

Only enough items for a ghost baby to have a bath on the third day, a special ghost baby, special.

Lin Xi's body was trembling slightly. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and turned around.

They were negotiating with the "midwives", but judging from the ugly faces of Miao Fangfei and others, the negotiation was not going smoothly.

"There is no way, we can't be together."

Miao Fangfei frowned. After the five "midwives" arrived, they surrounded them and shouted "Bathe on the third day——" in a long and short voice, implying urging, making people panic and short of breath, but no other actions.

Obviously, the five of them gathering together was not in line with the project. This time, the bath on the third day was not together, but one-on-one.

Miao Fangfei and Hou Feihu looked at each other, Hou Feihu nodded seriously, and without hesitation gave Miao Fangfei a small package of his things, then he turned and walked towards his room, and a "midwife" staggered and followed him.

Sure enough, they came separately!

Miao Fangfei, Shi Tao, Yu Hehui and Lin Xi were left. The ‘midwife’ took a step forward and tightened the encirclement. They could vaguely sense their malicious eyes hidden in the shadows of their hoods.

The atmosphere suddenly became more oppressive.

“Captain Miao, are you sure?”

Shi Tao lowered his voice and spoke solemnly. He also agreed that the items for the third day of the third month ... But Miao Fangfei still couldn't be sure whether the ghost baby in her belly was 'Pingping's child'

Hou Feihu's trust and Shi Tao's eyes put great pressure on her. Miao Fangfei knew that a courageous captain would definitely make a decisive choice. The more she couldn't hesitate at this time, the more she needed a voice.

But she really couldn't be sure.

The sound of the gong became more and more urgent, and the 'midwife' was getting closer and closer to them. The smell of the beast's panting was faintly coming, and it seemed that the fangs and red tongue hidden under the hood robe could be seen. There was no time to discuss it, and a choice had to be made immediately.

"Take care."

Shi Tao said helplessly. If Miao Fangfei couldn't be sure, he wouldn't take the risk. In the increasingly urgent sound of the gong, Shi Tao gritted his teeth and turned to leave, but at this moment-

"Fuck! Fuck!"

Lin Xi suddenly burst out a series of swear words, his breathing was very rapid, and his body was shaking nervously. His eyes were red, and he couldn't hide the madness and fear in his eyes. He looked like crazy.

Lin Xi is psychologically fragile and mentally unstable. Everyone has a threshold to bear under the tension and high pressure, but Lin Xi would collapse at this time!

"Steady, Lin Xi!"

Miao Fangfei said solemnly and worriedly. The third day of the baby's birth is coming soon, and no mistakes can be made at this time. Shi Tao, who had not left yet, also turned around, frowned and grabbed Lin Xi's shoulders, and growled: "Lin Xi, what's wrong with you!"

But the next moment, no one expected that Lin Xi would suddenly make a move, snatched their third day of baby's birth items from Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao's hands, and then slammed them both out.

"Lin Xi!"

Miao Fangfei was knocked back a few steps, and Shi Tao also staggered. They originally trusted their companions and were not too wary. Who knew that Lin Xi would suddenly attack! Miao Fangfei's eyes were sharp and she was about to rush over to grab it, but Lin Xi's collision knocked her into the arms of the midwife. Miao Fangfei's wrist was firmly grasped by the midwife and she couldn't get away.

"It's time to wash my third day --"

"It's time to wash my third day --"

"Lin Xi, what are you doing!"

Shi Tao couldn't turn back either. He gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Xi, only to see him stuff all the stolen items into Yu Hehui's arms.

Yu Hehui panicked and hurriedly caught it: "Lin, Brother Lin Xi, what are you doing??"

"Stop pretending!"

Lin Xi said sharply, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, and stuffed all his third day washing items into Yu Hehui's hands. Then he bumped out and bumped himself into the midwife, who was tightly grasped.

"Get out of here, get out of here, don't stand here and get in the way!"

Lin Xi was incoherent, and he didn't know what he was cursing. From the beginning of the journey to now, he was really scared and almost collapsed, especially for the third day washing. The things he collected were only enough to wash a ghost baby. Lin Xi's first reaction was to snatch other people's things, or at least never give the things in his hands to others.

He was afraid of death, like crazy, and he wanted to live. Giving everything to Yu Hehui went against Lin Xi's instincts, like cutting flesh from him.

But——

Lin Xi wanted to look back at Bing Jiu again, but the big hand of the "midwife" holding him was like a shackle, dragging him away. Lin Xi stumbled and couldn't look back. He was trembling with fear, his eyes were dull and wooden, like a prisoner going to the execution ground.

Lin Xi's mind was in a mess. He didn't know whether what he did just now was right or wrong, and whether Yu Hehui's belly was the special one. He had hardly made such an important decision. In the brigade, he was always a transparent person in decision-making.

When there was not enough time to tell Miao Fangfei and Xu Chen, and not enough for them to discuss, Lin Xi could only believe in himself, or rather, he believed in Bing Jiu.

Director Bing chose Yu Hehui, the firefly beside Director Bing.

Definitely special, definitely the special one.

Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao both saw the scene of Lin Xi stuffing the third-day bathing items to Yu Hehui. Shi Tao's face was still shocked and angry, and his eyes turned down and looked at Yu Hehui's belly.

Yu Hehui's belly grew bigger at some point.

Lin Xi suddenly went crazy, there was something strange about it. Could it be that 'Yu Hehui' controlled Lin Xi?

Miao Fangfei was confused and noticed Yu Hehui's bulging belly. Her brows suddenly frowned.

"Captain Miao, Brother Shi, what's going on?"

Yu Hehui was holding a pile of things and wanted to cry without tears: "I'll throw the things to you, but Brother Lin Xi is gone-"

"No."

Miao Fangfei blurted out. She didn't have time to think too much at such a hurried moment. Countless fragments of clues were mixed together. The ghost fetuses of the four of them were not special. There were a total of five people participating in the third day of the third month. For insurance, they originally had the third day of the third month in their hands, but Yu Hehui didn't.

Yu Hehui didn't find it herself, and her belly was flat. Miao Fangfei and the others didn't regard Yu Hehui as a human being. If Lin Xi hadn't made this scene, then Yu Hehui would have gone to the third day of the third month without any items!

Miao Fangfei was startled. The midwife had already started to drag her out. Without thinking about it, she looked at Yu Hehui and saw the genuine anxiety and confusion in his eyes. Miao Fangfei took a deep breath and steadied her voice:

"Hehui, give him a good bath."

Miao Fangfei said: "Your brother is still waiting for you. Remember, we agreed to meet at the Sanchao cocktail party."

"Sanchao cocktail party... Captain Miao, I remember."

Yu Hehui nodded heavily and hugged the items in his arms tightly: "Take care of yourselves."

After that, the three of them left with their respective midwives. Wei Xun saw everything and raised his eyebrows. He looked at Yu Hehui. Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao had already walked away. If they looked back, they would see that Yu Hehui was getting thinner and thinner. His clothes looked like a cloth bag on his body. His walking posture was very strange, swaying and unstable.

Like a fox learning to walk.

Interesting.

Wei Xun followed them with great interest, but the midwife and Yu Hehui ignored him. As expected, the two walked further and further, and finally walked out of Qiebi Village and came to a cave in the forest behind Qiebi Village.

This cave was covered by vines and thorns, and ordinary people could not find it. The midwife tore up the vines blocking the entrance of the cave. Wei Xun glanced inside and found that there were traces of people living in the cave, but it was very messy, with broken and rotten bedding fragments on the ground of the cave, and broken porcelain pieces.

"So Pingping, you live here."

Wei Xun said to himself. Seeing the midwife and Yu Hehui walk into the cave, he did not regard himself as an outsider, and followed them in openly-to the entrance of the cave.

The entrance was too dirty and messy, and Wei Xun did not want to go in.

Seeing that he stopped at the entrance of the cave and did not go in, the midwife and Yu Hehui, who had turned their heads to stare at Wei Xun, looked at him for a few times, and finally stopped paying attention to Wei Xun and continued to walk into the cave.

As they walked into the cave, it was like a movie replaying. The broken porcelain pieces on the ground of the cave turned into porcelain basins again, and the tattered bedding was restored and piled in a corner of the cave. It seemed that there was a faint cry of a baby coming from the bedding, and a dim firelight lit up.

The stream water was burning in the porcelain basin, and the triangular maple, four-wheel grass, bitter bamboo leaves and fragrant leaves collected by Miao Fangfei and others were put in the water. After boiling, it was removed from the fire. The 'midwife' put the bamboo sieve on the porcelain basin, put the clean abacus, scales, onions and cow horns in the sieve, and then scooped up the water in the basin and poured it from top to bottom, so that the water would pour over these items.

"The baby has been washed three times, and his body is as strong as a mountain."

The 'midwife' read in a long voice, adding some cool stream water to the porcelain basin, testing the water temperature, and the hand stretched out from under the black robe grew a layer of yellow hair, with slender fingers and sharp nails, like a legendary monster.

She took down the sieve, put the rice measuring cup upside down in the porcelain basin, put a clean soft cloth on it, and then carefully took the ghost baby from Yu Hehui's hands.

Wei Xun had seen the ghost baby before, and it didn't change much now. It had a thin blue-gray skin, was smaller than a cat, had a big head and a small body, and the umbilical cord had not been cut off, and it was long and draped over the slightly bulging belly. It was not cute, and it was far from being well-behaved.

But the 'midwife' was very careful when holding it, and Yu Hehui looked at the ghost baby with a gentle look, as if it was really a good child they held in their palms and loved.

* *

Miao Fangfei sat in the room, facing the "midwife", and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Miao Fangfei's belly had deflated, and the midwife was holding a blue-gray ghost baby in her hands. In between them was a pottery basin filled with stream water.

The things for the third day bath were given to Yu Hehui, and each of them had stream water and herbs such as triangular maple and four-wheel grass in their hands.

In the depressing atmosphere, Miao Fangfei's forehead was full of cold sweat. The ghost baby left her body, and she began to have abdominal pain again, which came and went, which was really worrying. What upset Miao Fangfei the most was Yu Hehui's side.

Is the ghost baby in Yu Hehui's hand really a ghost baby? If it is, then Lin Xi made the right bet. If it is not...

Miao Fangfei glanced at the midwife with the corner of her eye. It was still holding the ghost fetus, sitting in front of the pottery basin, motionless like a sculpture. No movement means good news, but waiting is really anxious, just like a prisoner who doesn't know when he will face the death penalty, and can't wait for the bullet to come quickly.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Miao Fangfei took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at her nose and her heart, and waited quietly.

Lin Xi couldn't calm down, his legs were weak, and he was almost dragged into the house by the midwife. When his stomach was empty, Lin Xi felt cold all over, staring at the ghost baby in the midwife's arms.

Lin Xi's mind seemed to be numb, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He was thinking about how he would die, whether he would be torn to pieces or eaten alive, and then he thought that he would not live anymore, too tired, it would be better to die. Then he thought about Bingjiu again. Thinking of Bingjiu, Lin Xi felt that he had some strength again. He would not die. With Bingjiu, he would not die.

If you lie to yourself too much, you will brainwash yourself. At least Lin Xi gradually calmed down. After calming down, he vaguely heard singing in the distance.

"The baby has taken a bath and is as strong as a mountain"

"The baby has taken a bath and is getting more and more obedient"

The voice is getting closer and closer, and Lin Xi's eyes are getting wider and wider, because in front of him, the stream water in the porcelain basin suddenly boiled, the water was light green, as if it had boiled various herbs, and there was a bamboo sieve on the porcelain basin, on which were placed cow horns and other things - all collected by everyone with great difficulty, and finally all given to Yu Hehui by Lin Xi as the items for taking a bath!

What is going on? !

Lin Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously touched the things in front of him. The back of his hand was severely slapped by the "midwife", and it immediately became red and swollen. Lin Xi was at a loss and retracted his hand, because he didn't touch the real thing just now!

Everything in front of him was an illusion, and these things did not exist here. But when the "midwife" carefully tested the water temperature, the water in the porcelain basin rippled like a real thing.

What is going on!

"So that's what happened."

Shi Tao looked at the scene in front of him and thought: "No wonder only one set of things was prepared, so that's how it is."

"I chose the right one."

Shi Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered with a wry smile: "Lin Xi, this guy, is really..."

Only one set of items for the third day of the third month was found intact, because this was specially preserved by Ping Ping for her child, and only things that have been in Ping Ping's hands can remain intact for a hundred years. Only this ghost baby is the most important, and these items can only be used by it.

And Ping Ping's ghost baby is closely related to other ghost babies, and it is even possible that other ghost babies are playmates that Ping Ping found for her ghost baby. When it successfully washes the third day, other ghost babies will also get relative benefits.

If Lin Xi had said it earlier, it wouldn't have made everyone so panicked.

Shi Tao complained in his heart, Lin Xi's posture really scared him. But thinking about it again, maybe Lin Xi just found out at that time and didn't have time to tell them, so he could only resort to this last resort.

"The baby has taken a bath, and he will become more and more obedient as he grows up."

The midwife repeated the sentence, and Shi Tao came back to his senses and found that she was looking at him grimly, and the soft cloth was rubbing the ghost baby again and again.

"The baby has taken a bath, and he will become more and more obedient as he grows up."

The midwife repeated it again, her voice was almost gritting her teeth, and her slender eyes looking at Shi Tao showed a sharp and unfriendly look.

What happened?

Shi Tao's nerves tightened, and he looked at the midwife blankly, and then at the ghost baby in her arms. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Yes, that's right."

Shi Tao stuttered, he coughed, and spoke smoothly: "You are right."

"The gong is shiny on both sides, and the baby will grow up loud and loud."

The gong brought by the midwife was filled with herbal water from the porcelain basin. She helped the ghost baby sit on the riser and wiped its body with a soft cloth dipped in the medicine.

"Yes."

Hou Feihu said, and he said yes to every word the midwife said. Although he only said one word, Hou Feihu's tone was firm and sincere, full of power, and subconsciously convinced.

"The gongs are ringing, and the baby will grow up to be a general."

"Yes."

The midwife said auspicious words. The baby's third day of birth should be a lively moment for the family to gather together. Every time the midwife said an auspicious word, everyone would echo loudly and laugh happily, as if the baby would really grow up well and healthy as the wish said, and be happy and safe forever.

There is such a project. Pingping loves her child.

Hou Feihu thought.

Perhaps it was true as the ghost possessing Miao Fangfei said, the baby Pingping gave birth to was eaten by villagers and outsiders as fetal meat before it had experienced the third day of bathing and received the blessing of the family.

The main body of this second project is the ghost baby, the third day of bathing, and the third day of wine, all of which are to satisfy Pingping's wishes.

Hou Feihu's heart suddenly sank, and his breathing became heavy.

In this case, what does the baby selected by Zhao Hongtu mean?

The third day of bathing is about to end.

Miao Fangfei watched the 'midwife' holding the ghost baby in one hand and holding the weight in the other hand, knocking on the porcelain basin three times. It was obviously a sharp voice like a fox, but now it sounds a little pious.

"Knock the weight once, the baby is not afraid of anything;"

"Knock the weight twice, the baby is braver than the sky;"

"Knock the weight three times, the baby is healthy and travels around the world."

...

I cried?

Miao Fangfei found that she didn't know when she started to cry. A strange emotion filled her chest, grief and despair. This was not her emotion. Miao Fangfei could clearly recognize this.

The current situation was a bit like being possessed by a ghost, but not quite, because Miao Fangfei was not unconscious and still had her own consciousness.

[Ghost Baby Favorability (10/10)]

[The evil ghost Pingping is very satisfied with the items you prepared for the third day of the third month. You will get an additional memory fragment as a reward]

[Pingping's memory fragments, part of Pingping's past in the record, her miserable life]

Miao Fangfei quickly pulled herself out of the sadness. Blurred pictures flashed before her eyes. These were all key clues! Miao Fangfei tried hard to remember every picture that flashed by. The more she looked, the wider her eyes opened.

So that's it!

* *

"It's true."

Wei Xun stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the third day of the third month of the third month with great interest. After the ceremony, the ghost baby giggled and waved his hands vigorously. His originally grayish-blue skin color became normal. Except for being a little thin, he looked like a normal, cute baby.

"Pingping is such a miserable person."

Wei Xun said with a sigh. He held a thin book in his hand. It was the second diary of Pingping that Wei Xun got after killing the corpse-transformed flying fox queen.

[Name: Pingping's Diary (2/3)]

[Quality: Scene (can only be used during this journey, cannot be taken out of the journey)]

[Function: Get some information]

[Note: Pingping's diary records her past events in different periods]

Wei Xun doesn't have to rack his brains to guess Pingping's life like the other passengers. He can get the key to each item just by reading the diary.

The sentences in the diary are more lively than the previous one. If the previous one is about an adult Pingping full of hatred and resentment. In the previous sentences of this diary, although Pingping was sad about her brother's death and worried about her father choosing her as the heir, the tone of the diary was generally positive. Pingping also worried about how to better inherit the family's heritage.

She knew that her constitution was more yin, and she could not have as much yang as men, and she would get sick if she stayed with corpses for a long time.

But her father said he had a way.

Marry in the underworld.

Just as the phantom of the corpse-transformed flying fox king said, her father asked Pingping to marry her brother in the underworld, but the diary was different from what the corpse-transformed flying fox king said, Pingping did not think of running away from the marriage.

[This is my responsibility, only I can inherit it]

Pingping's diary also wrote a few words about the man she liked, but she was determined to devote her life to inheriting the family's secret art of driving corpses.

She was a good girl with a strong sense of responsibility.

But after Wei Xun knew that Pingping had given birth to a child, he realized that the phantom of the corpse-transformed flying fox king was false, and Pingping must have experienced more cruel and more insane things.

The diary ends here. On the night before the ghost marriage, Pingping was unusually nervous. When she went out to relax, she unexpectedly heard her father talking to the villagers, saying that in order to change Pingping's physique, she needed to "introduce Fanyang into the body".

What is "introducing Fanyang into the body"?

The following diary was filled with large patches of crazy ink. The madness and despair revealed in the ink were really shocking. Wei Xun turned directly to the last page. Just like the previous diary, the handwriting was crazy and sloppy, revealing deep despair and madness.

[They all have to die, all of them have to die!!!]

"Yiya--"

The white and tender baby reached out to Wei Xun, wanting to hug him, but was hugged by Yu Hehui.

The bath was over, but the midwife didn't leave. She stared at the ghost baby and drooled for a while, then looked at Yu Hehui and Wei Xun with her slender fox eyes, and said in a shrill and drawn-out voice:

"Today you give birth to a son, and tomorrow you will have a grandson;"

"The court is full of congratulations, and the guests are happy, and the house has added unicorns and phoenixes, and the master is happy!"

After that, a white fox jumped out of the black robe and ran into the depths of the dense forest.

"I, why am I here?"

Yu Hehui looked around blankly, as if he didn't know why he was in this cave. Seeing Bingjiu outside, he held the ghost baby like a chick seeing its mother, and trotted behind Bingjiu.

"Bing, Director Bing?"

"Hmm?"

Wei Xun put away the diary. He had just flipped through it twice, but he always felt that something was wrong. Seeing Yu Hehui running over with the ghost baby, Wei Xun came back to his senses.

In theory, Pingping's diary should be related to scenic spots. For example, the one at Xiaolong Yizhuang is about things at that time. The diary obtained at the second scenic spot should record how Pingping quietly left Qiebi Village and hid in the cave to give birth. How was she found by the villagers, how the child was eaten as fetal meat, and how she took revenge.

But the diary Wei Xun got was about what happened when Pingping got married.

One book is missing.

Between the marriage and Xiaolong Yizhuang, there is a ghost baby diary missing.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Wei Xun was multitasking. While thinking about the diary, he was also paying attention to Yu Hehui. Seeing a fox jump out of the midwife's black robe, Yu Hehui did not show any surprise or panic.

"I was chosen by Grandma Hu San when I was a child, so I'm not afraid of this."

Yu Hehui smiled shyly and explained to Wei Xun that their hometown was a place of spirits. To put it simply, spirits are possessed by spirits in the mountains and fields. Grandma Hu San and Grandpa Hu San are fox spirits.

Grandma Hu San is a fox of a very high generation and very powerful. Compared with her, the white-haired fox just now must be a grandson or younger. Yu Hehui is naturally not afraid.

"It's so pitiful. In the wilderness, only spirits come to congratulate you on your third day of mourning."

Yu Hehui shook the ghost baby in his arms, but the ghost baby didn't give him face and still stretched out his hand stubbornly, wanting Wei Xun to hold him.

Wei Xun stretched out his hand, and the ghost baby immediately grasped his fingers tightly, but it felt like being wrapped in a gust of wind, even more illusory than the previous cold and chilly feeling.

The ghost baby was washed of resentment, but the ghost baby existed in the world because of resentment. With the resentment reduced, it should disappear.

"What will happen to the ghost baby?"

"Disappear."

Yu Hehui sighed and looked at the ghost baby with pity: "Its soul is unstable and too weak. It will be submerged by the black water of the Soul-Slaying Gorge. Unless it can pass through the Soul-Slaying Gorge, the ghost baby cannot be reincarnated."

The Soul-Slaying Gorge, the four places named in the journey information, have all appeared.

Yu Hehui held the ghost baby and walked towards Qiebi Village with Wei Xun. The two exchanged only a few words along the way. When they were about to reach the place, Wei Xun suddenly asked:

"Yu Hehui, where did you come from?"

"What? Director Bing, what are you talking about?"

Yu Hehui was confused. He subconsciously hugged the ghost baby in his arms tightly, looked around in panic, and spoke a little stuttering, just like his brother.

"Where, where is the resentful spirit? Do I have a resentful spirit?"

Yu Hehui didn't seem to realize that she shouldn't be in this team.

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows, thinking of the equally thin backs of Yu Hehui and the midwife when they left side by side.

If the tour guide died during the trip, he would become a monster like Wu Laoliu.

What if... the tourists died during the trip?

"Let's go."

Wei Xun said casually, without explaining what he just said. Yu Hehui was stunned for a while, and followed him blankly.

"After the third day of bathing, there will be a grand three-day wine."

In front of Qiebi Village, Miao Fangfei and others held the ghost baby and listened to Wei Xun's speech carefully.

"This three-day wine party was held by the Soul-Sorrowing Stream, but the heavy rain the day before yesterday overturned the ferry on the Soul-Sorrowing Stream, so the guests from Chaping Miao Village could not come."

"We have to pick them up."

The Soul-Sorrowing Stream is on the left side of Qiebi Village, in the opposite direction of Xiaolongxi. It was a mighty river that stretched as far as the eye could see. The black water was very fast and surging. One could only see the other side from a distance.

A blood-red ferry was on the side of Qiebi Village, rising and falling with the waves.

Only specially made boats could sail on the Soul-Snatching Gorge. The boat was very narrow. Miao Fangfei and her friends tried it and found that it could only accommodate two adults and two babies at the same time. It was because the ghost babies started crying as soon as they left them. And it was said that there could be no crying on the Soul-Snatching Gorge, otherwise they would be taken away by the Dragon King.

"This is like the ferry game."

Miao Fangfei cheered up when the five people were discussing: "Three ghosts and three people, we have to go from this side of the shore to the other side. If there are more ghosts than people, the ghosts will eat people."

Miao Fangfei originally just wanted to mobilize everyone's spirits. After all, they were a little tired after going through so many projects. But when it came to this, Miao Fangfei's heart suddenly moved.

The focus of the Three Dynasties Wine... is it really the Three Dynasties Wine Party?

After the third day of the bath, the resentment of the ghost babies has been eliminated, and the three-day wine is also a blessing, which seems a bit repetitive.

Pingping's wish, from Pingping's perspective, what does Pingping want?

The ghost babies' souls are too weak, and after the resentment is gone, they are not as energetic as before. If this continues, they will dissipate.

And the Soul-Slaying Gorge...

"Unless they can pass through the Soul-Slaying Gorge, the ghost babies cannot be reincarnated."

Yu Hehui whispered, Miao Fangfei and Hou Feihu looked at each other, thinking at the same time.

Is it really necessary to take the baby on the opposite side and hold the three-day wine.

Or use the three-day wine as a gimmick to take the opportunity to send the ghost shadow through the Soul-Slaying Gorge?

"Why haven't they come yet?"

There's still time, and this matter needs to be discussed. Miao Fangfei looked across the river, but didn't see Wang Pengpai and the others, and couldn't help but worry.

"The third day bath should have ended long ago... I hope they are not in danger."

At the same time, Wang Pengpai and the others hid in the animal pen under Wu Laoliu's stilt house, not daring to move.
