Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, everyone dispersed, but Yan Niang did not leave. She leaned on the door frame, staring at the end of the road, as if waiting for someone to arrive. Sure enough, Cheng Muyou's figure appeared after a while. He was wearing casual clothes and walked straight towards Jihong Embroidery Village from the direction of Xin'an Mansion, and came to her in a short while.

Yan Niang bowed and greeted the courtyard, "Sir, please come in."

"You don't ask me why I came?"

"Anyway, I won't be here to congratulate me on opening up."

He took two cups of tea with his right ear and then stepped back. Cheng Muyou picked up the tea and took a sip, then looked at Yan Niang with clear and transparent eyes, "Miss Yan, I came here for two things. One is to thank you for saving Xun'er, and it was twice. I heard from the child that since he put on the collar you gave him, he has been no longer disturbed by nightmares, and his health has gradually recovered. I should come to thank you in person."

"Mr. Cheng is so polite. Xun'er is smart and smart. He has a good personality. So I gave him that collar. As for what I say is no longer disturbed by nightmares, it must be just a coincidence. I was a woman, but the master said how great I was."

Cheng Muyou smiled faintly, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I still want to ask the girl clearly."

"Oh?" Yan Niang looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He seemed to be undercurrents under his gentle appearance. "The little girl is here for the first time. Is there anything worth asking for advice from the adults?"

"Of course," Cheng Muyou stared at Yan Niang without blinking his eyes, "Miss Yan, what I want to ask is, where did you find Xun'er unconscious on the day you first came to Xin'an City?"

Yan Niang pondered for a moment, then said, "South Street."

"South Street?"

"At that time, Sanjiu and I had just entered the city. When we walked to South Street, he was anxious to get a small rift, so he turned into a remote alley. It was at that time that he saw Xun'er lying on a bluestone, unconscious."

"It's true that I expected." Cheng Muyou stood up suddenly, and he looked at Yan Niang, and the gentleness on his face turned into a layer of perseverance.

"Sir, I don't understand."

"The wise man doesn't say secret words. The matter in Xin'an City is not as simple as the spread of the epidemic. A few days ago, a child named Zhu Wuer lost his life at night. His family came to the government to report the case today and said that the child's sister was gone. I was at his house that night when Zhu Wuer died. I saw a ghost running away from the yard and running towards the South Street. Shi Fei was also ruined by that thing."

"So what the adults mean is that the reason why so many children in Xin'an City died was not the epidemic, but the harm of that ghost? And the hidden place of the ghost is most likely on the South Street of Xin'an City?"

Cheng Muyou looked at Yan Niang with interest, "Miss Yan said she was a female, but in my opinion, it would be no exaggeration to call you a hero among girls. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been scared and overwhelmed when she heard such a terrifying story. How could she be as calm as you?"

"I've been awarded the award. Yan Niang has a difficult background and has been displaced since childhood. Naturally, she has more knowledge than those ladies who don't leave the boudoir."

"Miss Yan is a knight who travels around the world?" Cheng Muyou did not hide the suspicion in his eyes.

Yan Niang smiled slightly in front of that gaze, "If you are interested in Yan Niang's life experience, I will prepare a pot of good wine and tell you one by one."

Cheng Muyou's expression froze. He had never seen such a bold woman before, and dared to tease him as a local official blatantly. He lowered his eyelids and cleared his throat, "I'm abrupt. Miss Yan, then I won't bother you anymore. I have official duties to deal with, so I'll leave first." After that, he didn't look at her again and walked out the door.

"Sir, go slowly." Yan Niang snorted these four words softly. She looked at Cheng Muyou Qingjun's back and squeezed out a soft and cold snort from her nose.

His right ear walked in from outside the door, and he thrust his mouth in the direction of Muyou, and then asked, "Why do you want to lie to him? We obviously didn't find Xun'er on South Street."

"Every piece of clothes sent by Qifenglou has a strange smell, so I want to take the opportunity to sell him a favor." Yan Niang picked up a teacup with her fingers, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes were so bright that it was scary, and she murmured, "The body is intact, the body is intact. By the way, Dali, why didn't I expect that place?" After that, she stood up and walked out without looking back.

His right ear followed her and shouted loudly: "Are you going out? It's going to dark, and the look that he will give to Qifenglou tomorrow has not been embroidered yet."

"I'll leave it to you," Yan Niang replied without looking back, "I must complete it before I come back, otherwise I won't give you food tomorrow."

"where are you going?"

"Iron and stone railing." Before she finished speaking, she was gone.

The iron railing is a valley covered with weeds. For many years, the corpses of prisoners who were beheaded by the government will be buried here. The family is not bad and the bodies of the corpses will be put into a thin coffin and transported over. Those poor families can only roll their relatives in a straw mat and throw them into the mountain nest where you are born. The terrain here is already low, and few people come here on weekdays, so even during the day, the entire valley is cold and surrounded by milky white fog.

When the adults in Xin'an City scold children, they always use this place to scare them, "If you don't obey, you will throw you to the iron railing. There are people-eating monsters everywhere. Their eyes are green, like two clusters of ghost fires, and their tongues are long and rough. A lick of them can cut off human flesh from their bones." Children will always be scared to make a ghost cry, and then climb onto the bed to sleep obediently, but in their dreams they will inevitably come to the legendary place. They will find that there are indeed ferocious monsters hidden behind the bushes. They make a low roar from their chests, sharp teeth bare out of their mouths, ready to bite off their delicate necks at any time.

Shi Jin was also scared by the story of the iron stone railing since he was a child, so even though he was a tall and powerful government runner, even though he had known that those stories were made up by adults to deceive children, when he walked into this desolate valley, his heart was still filled with tension. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled the sword out of the scabbard and held it tightly in his hand, stood there and calmed down, and then walked towards the depths of the iron stone railing.
