    Chapter 202

    The next morning, Ye Xu retracted his avatar and happily took Xiao Yige out for breakfast. Xiao Yige didn't tell him that ghosts came last night, only that ghosts might target them both.

    "Ghosts are afraid of heavenly masters, not those policemen." Xiao Yige said.

    Ye Xu thought it made sense: "Then let's be careful today."

    The two walked all the way to the front yard, passing a room halfway, Ye Xu found that the door was not closed tightly, and a crack was opened. He glanced curiously. Generally, houses in rural areas are not closed, they are all open. Either the door is tightly closed when you go out, and there are few such half-openings.

    The crack in the door was too small to see anything, so Ye Xu spread out his perception and glanced, and found an old man sitting on a chair dozing off behind the door. It was probably windy in the morning, so closed the door. If the door is not closed, the door will be exposed to the sun, which is very suitable for taking a nap.

    He didn't care much, took back his perception and said hello to the eldest son of the village chief's family who hurried over. The eldest son came back to pick up the farm tools. He drank too much last night, and got up a little late this morning, which delayed going to the field.

    "Master, did you sleep well last night?" The eldest son smiled and exchanged a few words with Ye Xu.

    He looked like he was in his twenties, except for the thick calluses on his hands, it was almost impossible to tell that he was a farmer. Because this face looks pretty good, not particularly rough and dark.

    Ye Xu nodded arrogantly: "It's okay."

    Xiao Yige didn't care what Ye Xu said to him, but was a little concerned about the old man in the room. The old man seemed to be fine, but when Xiao Yige thought of the ghost last night, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the old man in the village.

    At this time, he suddenly realized that the people at the banquet last night seemed to be young and middle-aged men, and there were almost no old people. The oldest one looked no more than sixty. The old man in the room was about the same, looking around sixty.

    Thinking of this, Xiao Yige was caught off guard and asked the village chief's son, "Are there any elderly people in your village?"

    The eldest son's face changed suddenly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Why not? My grandfather is in the house." He pointed to the cracked door.

    Xiao Yige looked at him fixedly: "I mean, a very old man."

    "That kind of..." The eldest son's expression became even more unnatural. "Our village is not in good condition, and few old people can live that long. Hey, it's not as good as your city!"

    Ye Xu was keenly aware that he was lying, but he was not aggressive. He stopped Xiao Yige, who wanted to ask something, and said to his eldest son: "So it turns out, maybe your village's feng shui is not good, so you can't live that long. When I have time to help you change your feng shui, you will be able to live. eighty."

    What he said was pure nonsense, but the eldest son was very happy when he heard it, and could even be said to be very pleasantly surprised: "Really?! If the master can make a move, it would be great!"

    Xiao Yige understood what Ye Xu meant, and he didn't speak any more, just quietly watched Ye Xu and his eldest son say a few polite words. However, Xiao Yige still felt that something was wrong the moment Ye Xu said that sentence.

    He frowned, spread out his perception, and suddenly saw that the dozing old man in the room had woken up. He was lying on the crack of the door, staring at the three of them through the crack, like a strange existence peeping in the dark.

    The room was dark, and the windows were tightly shut, and there was hardly any light. No wonder he felt sullen and uncomfortable every time he explored the room.

    When the eldest son left, Xiao Yinge dragged Ye Xu to the front yard quickly, and then quickly told about the old man in private chat.

    As soon as Ye Xu heard this, the hair on his back suddenly stood up. This kind of secret observation is really scary.

    Xiao Yige didn't intend to tell Ye Xu that a ghost came last night, for fear of scaring him, but now he feels he has to say: "Last night, a ghost came to us, it was an old man. I think this village The story is very much related to the elderly, and it may also be related to longevity.”

    "It's nothing more than things like birth, old age, sickness and death." Ye Xu nodded, "In this context, the villages don't have many more complicated spiritual pursuits, they are basically the most basic physiological pursuits."

    Therefore, the story of this village is estimated to be cruel and realistic.

    When eating breakfast, Ye Xu didn't ask the village chief. just asked eldest son in the morning, and then asked the village chief. The two of them would definitely realize what they noticed and take precautions. At this time, you have to find some people who are not very relevant and ask them separately, so as not to make the whole village vigilant.

    But in fact, there is no need to be so tossed, wanting to know what happened, it is easy for Ye Xu. He doesn't need to ask anyone at all, he just looks at what happened in the village in the past.

    After breakfast, the village chief told them the details of the haunting: "When I go to bed at night, I often wake up in the middle of the night and see a ghost standing by the bed, which is scary."

    "Has it been in every household?" Ye Xu asked.

    "Yes." The village chief nodded affirmatively, "Every family has appeared. In the beginning, only a few people had them, and they all appeared alone. That is, there are ghosts in this house today, and there are ghosts in that house tomorrow. Later, the number of ghosts increased, and there were At times, several families encountered ghosts together. The most terrifying one was last month, when half of the people in the village encountered ghosts. That day happened to be the Ghost Festival, so we were so scared that we quickly burned a lot of paper money, and we didn’t know if it would be of any use.”

    Ye Xu thought thoughtfully: "What kind of ghost?"

    The village chief, who was talking eloquently, immediately showed a defensive expression, but it was not obvious. He only said: "It's dark and I can't see what it looks like."

    After saying this, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk anymore, Ye Xu nodded, saying that he knew what he had in mind, so he didn't ask any more questions. He knew what was in his heart, but the village chief did not.

    "Let's accompany you to collect materials first." Ye Xu was noncommittal about this, turned his head and said to Xiao Yige.

    Xiao Yige nodded.

    Ye Xu originally thought that he had to go outside the village to collect materials, because Xiao Yige had collected plants along the way. But in fact, the materials Xiao Yige wanted were not just plants, some items were also in his target list.

    "The materials used to make the props are generally of various types, some are plants, some are fur and claws of beasts, and even items possessed by ghosts, inconspicuous mirror combs in NPC's homes." Xiao Yige explained, " Different props use different things, and I collect what I see that can be used.”

    In fact, some of the things he collected along the way can be bought from material dealers. But when saw it, accepted it easily, and could save some money, and it was not too much trouble.

    Ye Xu originally accompanied him to collect things, and he was not in a hurry to do the task, so he had no opinion.

    "Can't you just take the things in the NPC's house?" Xiao Yige stood outside the door hesitantly, not too embarrassed to go in.

    It was also the first time that he came to collect in person, and he was not so cheeky. It stands to reason that NPCs are all dummies, and they, including their properties, are built by the system, and are essentially a system. As the "children" of the system, the Awakened has the full right to use it. But Xiao Yige is a good baby with good manners.

    Ye Xu thought for a while: "This way, I'll try it."

    Xiao Yige looked at him curiously.

    I saw Ye Xu walked into the room and said hello to the NPC in the room: "Hello, Madam."

    There was only a middle-aged woman cleaning the house, and it was a little strange to see two strangers come in. But after seeing the robe on Ye Xu's body, he immediately respected: "You are the master invited by the village chief, right? Please take a seat, please take a seat."

    "No need." Ye Xu waved his hand, "I think your village's feng shui is not good, which affects the luck in the village. Are there often people in the village who are unwell?"

    The woman nodded again and again and said excitedly, "No, there are always people in the village who are sick! So it's because of Feng Shui? Master, then you have to be burdened and change the Feng Shui for us!"

    Ye Xu showed an unfathomable smile: "That's natural, it's a matter of being trusted by others. To improve the feng shui of the whole village, we must first improve the feng shui of each family. Madam, don't you mind if I take a look around the house? "

    "Don't mind, don't mind, just look at it." The woman wiped her hands on her apron and followed Ye Xu cautiously, leading her to look at the whole house.

    Ye Xu has the demeanor of a liar in all corners of the world, speaking nonsense on the air all the time. For a while, I pointed to the small mirror and said, "It's not easy to throw this thing in the house," and then pointed to the comb and said, "This thing has bad luck and will affect people's health."

    After a circle, he said everything Xiao Yige wanted. The women had no doubts about him, and could hardly wait to throw all these things away.

    "You can't throw things with bad luck." Ye Xu stopped her, "Otherwise, bad luck will spread out, and it will still be enveloped in the village and continue to affect you. Why don't you give me the things, and I will make a trick and burn them all with real fire. already."

    The woman ate Ye Xu's brainwashing bag and stuffed everything into Ye Xu without a doubt. Anyway, they are all worthless little things, and it is impossible for the master to take a fancy to these junk from their family and want to defraud them.

    So she said sincerely: "This will trouble the master!"

    Ye Xu nodded slightly and gestured to Xiao Yige. Xiao Yige took out a large pocket, put all these things in it, and left with Ye Xu carrying the pocket.

    Xiao Yige was stunned, never expecting such an operation. Looking at the big pocket in his hand, he doubted life. Ye Xu is like this, isn't it really a scam?

    As a result, when Ye Xu went out, he put a hundred-yuan bill on the table at the woman's house, enough to buy a new set of all the things he took away: "You can buy a new set of these."

    "I can't help it, where can I ask for your money!" The woman was frightened and wanted to return the money.

    Ye Xu waved his hand, ignored her, and left.

    Xiao Yige was stunned for a long time before asking, "How do you have money?"

    "When I was drinking yesterday, the village chief came over." Ye Xu looked innocent.

    Yesterday, when the village chief was having a feast, he stuffed him a big red envelope with thousands of dollars in it.

    Xiao Yige: "..."
