Chapter 48 Moonlight

The cold moon shines in the mountains, and people travel around the world.

When the sun sets and the afterglow gradually becomes darker, Chu Xunyu and his group also arrive in front of the thatched hut. Looking at the withered thatch, which is weakly placed on the eaves, the dilapidated wooden doors are silently put together. A cool autumn wind blows, lifting up two door god paintings posted on the door. However, it is a long time ago, and the Qin Qiong Yuchi Gong painted on it is also unclear.

"Sanzi, look at the door of the house and see if there is any movement?" Zhou Dali was the leader of this team and was responsible for calling the order.

"Okay." A thin man in the team tied up the sword behind him, came to the door, and buckled the door hard. The heavy knocking sound echoed in the autumn wind for a long time, and there was no response in the room. At this time, Zhou Dali said happily: "It seems to be a house without a man." He paused and said to everyone: "Everyone scattered and looked around, what's going on."

Everyone was scattered around and checked for a while. After almost no abnormal movement, they came back. Zhou Dali nodded with satisfaction, came to the door, and pushed hard, but found that the two broken wooden doors were only dodging a gap. From the crack, there was a door lock in the middle.

Zhou Dali looked at it strangely and said, "It's really a problem. There is no one in this room, so why is it locked behind you?" But he couldn't stop for this little thing, so he was ready to stomp open the door.

"Wait, let me try it." Chu Xunyu suddenly inserted a sentence at this time, walked up and looked at the door lock carefully. He didn't want everyone to go in, but then he thought about it, it was impossible to tell them that there was yin energy here directly. I guess they would laugh and think they were crazy. Later, they thought that they would not take pictures even if they went there. Chu Xunyu's group could not be said to be the top masters, but for ordinary ghosts, they would solve the evil evils and would not pose a threat. So after thinking about it, it would be fine, let them go and take care of themselves at night, and there should be no problem.

Chu Xunyu touched the sleeve and found an iron hook and a bent and deformed iron wire. He stretched in with his hands and one by one, and groped for a while. After a while, he heard a "click" sound, and the door lock fell down.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Brother Chu is not only good at it, but also a ruthless man." Zhou Dali couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

The meaning of "ruthlessness" is a thief. This thief has existed since ancient times, specializing in the business of picking locks and entering the house. However, for thousands of years, some people like the thief, benevolent thief, such as Dongfang Shuo, are synonymous with robbing the rich and helping the poor. Therefore, people in the world can accept them over time.

Because this line is shameless, there are many synonyms, such as in the north they are called "Rongxing", and in some places in the south they are called "Faith Master" or "Buddha". On Zhou Dali and others, the word "德" also means "very", such as "德", "德" and "德" pronunciation is also "德". Therefore, the name of this line is called "德"!

Chu Xunyu smiled awkwardly, then put away his things and returned to the team. Now Mu Yuan and others also looked at him in surprise, Wang Chen smiled and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Xiaoyou Chu has a very good understanding of the lock-picking activity of entering the room."

"It's just a necessary means to walk around the world." Chu Xunyu explained awkwardly.

At this time, Zhou Dali pushed the door with both hands, and with a creaking sound, the door opened in response. Everyone looked inside, but a wet mold came towards him. The smokey people quickly covered their mouths and noses, retreated, letting them open and ventilate.

Everyone took advantage of the last ray of sunset to see the situation in the house clearly. A very ordinary room was dark because it was back to the sun, so it was so dark that it could barely know that there were some tables and chairs in the room.

After a while, it felt like the time was almost over. At this time, Zhou Dali led everyone into the door. As soon as he took a step further, Zhou Dali felt something hitting his head on the threshold. He subconsciously grabbed it and took it down. Everyone looked over and found that it was a dead crab, which was hung on the door beam with a rope, but it was already weathered. Zhou Dali said angrily: "Unfortunate, where did the dead crab come from?"

After saying that, he threw it around and entered the house. At this time, the sunset in the sky finally struggled for a few times, and finally fell unwillingly among the mountains. The house became darker.

At this time, someone around him blew the fire in his hand, and a flame as big as a broad bean rose up. Under this lighting, everyone saw clearly the decorations in the house. It seemed that there was a main hall with an incense table in the middle, which enshrines this scroll, but the characters depicted in the painting were blurry. Only a man in gray clothes, stretching his fingers with one hand, as if pointing at something, and it is unknown what else.

"Which god is this?" Gao Wei looked at the painting and asked strangely: "Why are there any gods who worship the guide?"

Zhou Dali said carelessly: "I guess in this wilderness, people who worship such gods will not get lost."

Everyone laughed and placed the guy in their hands around. There were also some simple wooden tables and wooden chairs in the room, which were scattered around casually, but they were covered with thick dust. It seemed that no one had come for many years.

Zhou Dali directed a few men to go to the inner room to take a look. Chu Xunyu and Wangchen and others went in with them. The other two small houses seemed to be bedrooms. There was a very simple bed in the room on the right, but it was still full of dust. The dilapidated mosquito net was full of holes and looked shabby. Not far away was a wooden table, and there was a shabby oil lamp on the table. A man who came in took the oil lamp and blew away the dust. It seemed that the wick was still useful.

The room on the left looked like a study room. There was obviously a bookshelves, but there was already a blank building, with nothing left, only a few pages of paper scattered. Gao Wei sighed: "It seems that there was a scholar living here before. I was so excited that I hid in this deep mountain to study. I don't know if I will win the top scorer in the future." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

After returning to the main hall, he explained the situation clearly to Zhou Dali. Zhou Dali said happily: "It turns out that there is no one in the house. It seems that there is no need to sleep in tonight. Brothers, bring the goods in and rest here tonight."

Everyone scattered. This time they were transporting Chinese medicine, which was the least affected by moisture, so they quickly started to transport it inside and outside.

At this time, on one side of the room, Chu Xunyu asked in a low voice: "Senior Wangchen, have you ever seen anything?"

Wangchen shook his head: "There is nothing wrong."

At this time, Mei Wan frowned and interrupted, "It's just an abandoned hut that is uninhabited. What else can it be? Not to mention that there are not, even if there are some evil things, they can be solved by raising their hands."

"That's it." Shang Qian nodded in agreement, "Maybe there really isn't."

Chu Xunyu shook his head secretly and denied softly: "There must be evil things here. Have you noticed the crab hanging at the door? That means everything."

"Oh? Please explain to Brother Chu." Although I believe there is something strange here, I was confused about the crab, so even Guan Yue couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's very simple." Chu Xunyu looked at the surrounding environment: "As far as I know, there was a record in "Mengxi Bitan" that "There are no crabs in Guanzhong. In Yuanfeng, I was in Shaanxi. When I heard that Qinchuan families received a thousand crabs. The scholars decorated their shapes and thought that monsters and the people who were sick and abused by each family borrowed them to hang the door, and they often suffered from it. Not only did people not recognize them, but ghosts also did not recognize them." This passage means that there was a kind of crab here, with a strange and ugly appearance, so mortals hang it on the door door door door to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, which is very useful. Although I don't know the truth or falsehood of this story, people here did not stick a picture of the door gods for a long time, and then hung a 'yin-patterned ghost-backed crab', which must be hidden."

After hearing this, everyone realized that the crab hanging on the door had this meaning. But looking around, there was no movement.

At this time, the sky outside the window was already dark, and the crescent moon in the evening officially lay in the sky, but the moonlight could not shine here. Everyone had piled all the goods into the inner room and lit up the oil lamp. More than 20 people gathered in the main hall.

"Second son, prepare to order dry food and eat. We will have a meal in the evening. In just three days, we will arrive in Taiyuan. We will have a good meal at that time." Zhou Dali shouted.

Erzi responded and went to the luggage room to find food. At this time, Zhou Dali said again: "Arranging a vigil tonight. We are still the same rule. Don't miss it. Let's rest for others."

It’s a coincidence that the first shift on duty tonight was Gao Wei. Gao Wei took a few sesame cakes and went out to patrol. Chu Xunyu smiled and said, “Brother Gao and I are old acquaintances, I will accompany him tonight.”

Regardless of what others said, he followed without saying anything and walked out of the house. As soon as Chu Xunyu left, Mu Yuan and Wangchen could not sit still and had nothing to talk to with the mortals. So he said goodbye to Zhou Dali and went out to follow him.

Zhou Dali was helpless, but there was no way, so he had to let them go and said to everyone: "Eat quickly, everyone, have a good time to sleep after eating. Don't forget to take over, and you will continue to rush tomorrow."

Everyone was eating and drinking in the room, and they looked at Chu Xunyu and followed Gao Wei out of the door, sitting under a tree not far away, while Wang Chen and the others were scattering and searching carefully. Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Gao Wei smiled silly and said, "Brother Chu, how can you not stay inside?"

Chu Xunyu shook his head: "I don't want to worry about you alone."

"Haha." Gao Wei shook his hand freely: "I'm not a big girl. I'm a big girl, and I have encountered many things. Isn't it just a night shift?"

Chu Xunyu couldn't explain anything, so he simply held the sword in his arms and looked at the horizon. Taking advantage of the darkness, Gao Wei suddenly asked, "Brother Chu, have I found that Xiao Xiao?"

"No..." Chu Xunyu felt sad.

"Don't be discouraged, you are a god. You can find such a skill one day."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Yeah, I've known it for a long time." Gao Wei said indifferently: "I'm a vulgar man, but I'm not a stupid man. I've known your identity for a long time. In the army, everyone knew your reputation."

"Is that so, aren't you afraid of me?" Chu Xunyu asked in confusion.

"Not afraid." Gao Wei smiled honestly, "I have seen it all the way. You are a person who values ​​feelings. How can you say that kind of gentle words? By the way, you are called a person with temperament."

Looking at this honest face, Chu Xunyu felt a little moved inside. It has been a long time since this happened. Over the years, in the world of cultivation, his head has been full of traitors and traitors. Few people can trust him. Unexpectedly, this ordinary person, can actually trust him.

Gao Wei sighed and looked at the starry sky and asked: "Brothers of the Chu family, people say that it is rare to live until 70 years old. You gods should have a long lifespan."

"Yeah. It should be."

"How long can you live?"

"It's very long, very long." Chu Xunyu calmed down and looked up at the starry sky and said.

Gao Wei smiled honestly: "It's so good."

“Is it good?”

"In the army, others said that gods should take on talent to accept disciples. If you like it, you can also become a god. I was not attracted by gods in the army. Apart from being able to play hard, I have nothing. Now I don't fight anymore, and I have to go to the world to make money every day. Unlike you, I have nothing to lack, and I want to do whatever I want."

Chu Xunyu heard this, sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Everyone says gods are good, but they don't know that gods themselves will also have troubles."

"By the way." Gao Wei lowered his head and asked seriously: "Do you think this house is a little bit like that?"

"How do you know?" Chu Xunyu asked strangely.

"I've long seen that your face is wrong. Just like when I talked about the eagle in the town, tell me, don't hide it from me, what's wrong?"

Chu Xunyu shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on, I just feel that there is something wrong here, but I can't tell it, so I'll stay with you to watch here, so don't have any trouble."

Gao Wei sighed and said, "You are different from those gods."

“Why are the difference?”

"When the war was fought, the gods flying around the sky never cared about the life and death of ordinary people, but you care about us."

Chu Xunyu touched the sword and smiled boldly: "Brother Xu Da was right back then. Can a god who is mortal regardless of life or death in ordinary people be considered a god?"

The two were talking, and at this moment, a noise came from the room, and there was a ding-dong sound. As soon as they heard it, they knew something was wrong. They jumped up quickly and ran back.

At this time, Wangchen and the others had already come over, and Mu Yuan quickly said, "What happened, go back and take a look."

The moon is bright and the fifteenth day of August has passed long ago. Although the moon is not so round, it still shines with a glory, but it just can't shine in this corner...
