"Are Xiaowu tired?"

"A little bit, nothing is in the way."

The voice was a little lazy, like a cat that had just woken up, but at the end of the conversation, the line of voice suddenly tightened. She stood up straight, with two cold lights in her eyes, looking forward without blinking.

"Zimai, is that a house?" She raised her chin lightly, but suddenly stopped, and pulled Zhao Zimai to the spot.

Zhao Zimai looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a few corners of the roof tiles faintly exposed in the mist not far away, surrounded by white fog, as if dyed ink, as black as a few crows flapping their wings and about to fly.

It turned out that there was another world here, but this brand new world did not look like real wax at all, with black tiles like crouching on the eaves, and a group of stone lions of various shapes hung below. There was a bell hanging below. Occasionally, the wind came and the bells jingled.

This is not the real place, it is clearly their homeland... Just a few people traveled across the ocean and walked on the sea for more than a month. How could they break into this fog and come back?

"Are you dreaming?" Zhao Zimai also noticed the abnormality, rubbed his eyes, and said in a silence.

These words woke Mu Xiaowu up, but while she figured it out, her heart suddenly sank, as if she fell into a deep pool that was so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom: Is it an illusion? But what kind of illusion can confuse her eyes? This is the eyes washed by Wuna's soul, clear and transparent, and the spiritual wisdom was forcing people. The great monk used the Buddhist teachings he had learned throughout his life to wash away the blood and mud in her eyes, so that she could see all the confusions in the world.

She still remembers that one year she chased a marsh monster who had mastered her. The monster locked the sword spirit in its eyeball composed of tens of thousands of compound eyes, trying to trap it in its maze-like pupils. But it failed in the end. She found the fatal hole of the marsh monster from those countless compound eyes that looked like lenses, which was also the only egg left.

It is protected by the eyes below, transparent, an egg as big as a needle tip.

"jingle."

The bells at the eaves rang again, and the wind blew, and the white mist faded by the wind, so the hidden things were revealed little by little, like a scroll gradually spread out.

What a big house with black tiles and white walls, it stretched out in front of the two of them. It was obviously the most familiar scene, but it seemed not very real.

She obviously came with the roar of a tiger, for Di Zhen...

Mu Xiaowu stared at the front for a while, suddenly raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth, held Zimai's hand, and walked forward.

"Are we going to that family?" Zhao Zimai followed her obediently.

She grinned, "Go, you have to go. Zimai, you have to remember that only those who are guilty will be so complicated and mysterious. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just stand in front of me and fight me with a fight with me?"

Zhao Zimai said three words, "He is afraid of you."

Mu Xiaowu smiled and said, "So smart. No one who has been immersed in the world for a lifetime is as clear as your eyes."

Zhao Zimai blushed when she praised her. Seeing the bright eyes gaze at her, she suddenly remembered the intimate kiss last night. When her heart moved, the blushing continued to ripple to her ears, and even the ears were getting fever. Seeing this, Mu Xiaowu smiled "hehe" and pulled his hand and strode forward. In a short while, he came to the house with high walls and thick tiles.

The courtyard door was not locked. Mu Xiaowu slapped the two dark door panels a few times. After waiting for a while, no one came to answer the door, so he reached out and pushed it decisively. However, as soon as his hand touched the door bolt, a very light footstep sound from far to near came from the door, but the power could not be taken back. So the next moment, the door panel hit a man firmly and almost knocked the man out.

Mu Xiaowu pulled him quickly with his eyes and hands, and pressed his wrist quickly: a human body with a pulse, a warm body, and a big living person with arms and legs.

Apologies appeared on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm anxious."

The middle-aged man in housekeeping's outfit stood firm and sneered, "You are so anxious that you are going back to your own home, but this is not your home."

Mu Xiaowu smiled with her face, "We worked hard all the way and had not been drained from water for two days, so we were a little anxious. Please forgive me, forgive me."

The man rolled up his sleeves and took advantage of this moment to see the two of them clearly: short-sleeved shorts are so kind, but if they really escaped all the way, it proved that they did not lie. As he thought about it, he glanced at Zhao Zimai again, thinking that this girl was not easy, and he didn't say that he ran away from all the way, and there was a wounded silly brother around him.

Thinking of this, his tone became softer. He put his hands on his hands, rubbed a small stone on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and whispered, "Our Zhou family is a great family, and the master and his wife believe in the gods and worship Buddha. It is not that you can't tolerate these two mouths, but in recent days, the family has not been peaceful. If you two don't mind, I will find a room for you to live in after reporting to you."

"How could we mind? We have to be grateful if we have something to eat. You are so good, and you will definitely be blessed in the future."

Mu Xiaowu's sweet mouth and smiled happily, so the man had a better impression of her. He was about to ask the two of them to wait for news here when the little girl asked again, "Is there something wrong in the mansion? Is there anything we need to avoid?"

***

The Zhou Mansion has been haunted recently.

Cao Yun, the steward of the Zhou Mansion, is a witness to the whole incident.

Three days ago, it was a violent thunderstorm night. The lightning in the sky tore open the daisy sky curtain one after another, with muffled thunder rolling and the earth shaking.

In this weather, Cao Yun didn't want to go out no matter what, but after eating too much wine at night, he woke up by urinating in the middle of the night. He had to get up reluctantly, put on a hat and ran to the toilet.

When he walked under the eaves, Cao Yun paused, as if he had been poured with cold water from the beginning. His mind was suddenly awakened by the wine.

He saw a white shadow, floating in the night brightly illuminated by lightning. In just a blink of an eye, he left with the strong wind and disappeared under the gate of the moon. Behind the gate of the moon was an idle courtyard, which was originally a guest room in the Zhou Mansion. Because no one lived in it all year round, it was used to store some debris that were temporarily unused.

Cao Yun didn't realize that he had seen a ghost at that time, or that he realized it, but he refused to believe it in his heart. So, by chance, he followed him quietly.
