Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 1
The sky was getting dark, Xue Laosi looked at the unsold pancakes and sighed.

He looked at the blind little girl huddled in front of his stove to warm herself up, and handed over a pancake.

"You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat some pancakes first to cushion the meal!"

The little girl covered her eyes with a red cloth, fumbled to take the pancake with both hands, and thanked her in a childlike voice.

She is the daughter of the Taoist priest at the street corner Guagua stall. Her name is Fang Ling. She is about six or seven years old and has been blind since she was a child.

Little Fang Ling took the pancake but didn't eat it. She just continued to look towards an old tree in the distance, as if she could really see it.

"Uncle, there is a strange man with red eyes who has been looking at you over there, do you know him?"

Xue Laosi was startled and subconsciously looked at the dark old tree over there, but there was nothing there.I couldn't help but laugh. What could a little girl who was blind from birth see?She had a bad brain, and she also had a bad brain.

After waiting for a while, until it was completely dark, the remaining pancakes were still lying there quietly.

There are no people on the street, and it will not be sold if we wait any longer.Fourth Xue was packing his things while rubbing his twitching eyelids.

"Uncle, this is for you! My grandfather drew it, and it works!"

Xue Laosi took a paper charm handed over by the little girl, smiled helplessly, touched her head and said:
"It's cold, tell your father to pack up and go back quickly."

The little girl responded sweetly, then swung the bamboo stick and jumped away.

Yes, although the little girl is blind, she is different from other blind people.Her bamboo stick seemed to be just a decoration. She used it whenever she wanted, and often played with it when she didn't want to.

People around her couldn't tell whether she could see or not see her.

In the winter in Yuanchuan, because it is close to the Muma River, it is already freezing cold even when the sky is just dark.The howling north wind whizzes straight into people's neck collars like an icy cold knife.

Xue Laosi carried the pancake seller through a large willow forest on the west side of the town, and hurried home.

I don't know why, today I am always flustered, and I always feel that something is following me.But looking back, there is nothing but the dark forest and the occasional night owls flying up.

The night owl was also strange that night. It usually avoided people, but today for some reason, it followed them not far or near. Occasionally, it made a strange "ouch" sound that was really scary.

The palm of Xue Laosi's hand that was holding the shoulder pole was slippery and cold sweat oozes out, and the soles of his feet moved a little faster.I think it's time for that wolf cub to go down the mountain to look for food, so don't run into him.

The more Xue Laosi thought about it, the more flustered he became, when suddenly a strange cry of "Wooooooo" exploded above his head.

Xue Laosi was so frightened that he suddenly turned around and found a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him sinisterly in the woods not far away.

Xue Laosi was so frightened that he dropped his things in a hurry, picked up his pole and ran away.Fortunately, I didn't take more than two steps before I encountered a ruined temple ahead.Although it is dilapidated, it has doors and windows.

What made Xue Laosi even more unexpected was that there were actually people in the temple, not only that, but also very lively.There were seven or eight old men sitting around a blazing fire, chatting happily among themselves.

Thinking about it, I was traveling in the countryside, and I was reluctant to stay in a hotel, so I found this place out of the wind to deal with it for the night.

Xue Laosi breathed a long sigh of relief, found an open space and sat down.

Those few old men were talking and laughing loudly, but they didn't care about him, the newcomer, they ignored him, ignored him, as if they didn't see him.

Xue Lao Si was really terrified just now, and ran all the way in a panic, but now he felt sore and weak in his hands and feet when he relaxed, and he was exhausted.

Fortunately, I still had the pipe pot in my waist. I took out the tobacco leaves and skillfully filled the pot, stirred the fire, and put the cigarette rod close to it.

Who knows, I don't know what kind of bad luck I got today. I clicked the cigarette pot left and right but couldn't light it.

Xue Laosi became angry and cursed: "Go to hell!"

Then he smashed the smoke pot around until crackling and sparks splashed, and a small piece of red charcoal fell directly into his hand.

His hand holding the cigarette rod suddenly froze, and the seemingly blazing coals had no warmth at all.

At the same time, the ruined temple that was full of laughter and laughter just now suddenly fell silent.

A layer of white hairy sweat immediately broke out on Xue Laosi's body.

He raised his head slowly, his head hummed suddenly, his body seemed to be nailed to the ground, his dilated pupils were full of fear and terror, his blood surged, his eyes suddenly darkened and he fell to the ground , unconscious.

The next morning, Xue Laosi felt the cold wind howling and woke up dizzy.I found myself lying in a wasteland surrounded by weeds.And right in the middle of his chest is the paper talisman that the little girl gave him yesterday.

Xue Laosi held the paper talisman and saw that the bright red ink on it had become much lighter.

Suddenly I remembered the frightening scene last night.Reflecting the firelight, everyone in that circle had sunken eye sockets, withered lips, and white bones. Where was the old man passing by?

And now when I look around, I see no ruined temple anywhere?I saw only luxuriant grass, and a large number of tombs could be vaguely seen. This was clearly a cemetery.Thinking of this, he rolled and crawled all the way home.

Xue Laosi's wife, Wang, has always been a fierce woman. Now she saw that Xue Laosi had not returned home all night, and she stumbled back until dawn, talking nonsense, and thought he had drank too much outside. He cursed for a while.

Xue Laosi was just at the moment when he was upset, and he had been holding back a lot of his useless anger on weekdays. At this time, Wang couldn't help but say something back when he was scolded.

When Mrs. Wang saw that it was okay, she didn't build the house for three days, so she started making a fuss with great fanfare.

The quarrel between the two of them didn't matter, but it woke up the one-year-old child in the room.For a while, the house was full of chaos, howling, and even the dog next door was barking at us.

But the child who usually liked his father not only refused to let Xue Laosi hold him today, but even cried when he saw him, as if he was infected with the plague.

Wang just thought it was because he drank too much the first night and might have some odor on him. The child is young and is sensitive to odors.This made him even more certain that Xue Laosi stayed out all night drinking wine.

After a day of quarreling, Mrs. Xue was driven to the firewood room by Mrs. Wang.

Seeing night fall, Xue Laosi took the only amulet he had and rubbed it over and over.At that time, he only thought that the little girl was mentally ill, but now that he thought about it, could it be that she could really see something that ordinary people couldn't?

Thinking of this, Fourth Xue couldn't help but fidget.I just hope that yesterday's frightening night was just a chance encounter, and now that I am at home, and there are people in my neighbors, there won't be any troubles, right?
However, as soon as it got dark, there was another strange cry of "Woooo" from the old locust tree in the courtyard, which shocked the old yellow dog next door to bark its teeth and bark wildly in this direction.

Xue Laosi immediately jumped up, rushed to the broken window in two steps, and cursed at the dark old locust tree.

Immediately, Wang's roar came from the room.

"Why are you so mad? The baby just fell asleep!"

Just as Xue Laosi swallowed his anger and turned around to retreat into the rotten grass nest, he suddenly felt the air behind him suddenly become cold.

Xue Laosi turned around alertly. The tattered window paper in front of him was still fluttering in the wind and making a tearing sound.Although the window was empty, Xue Laosi's heart was clenching. This feeling was so familiar, exactly the same as last night.

I thought about how I still had a carrying pole in my hand last night, but today I was unarmed.His eyes quickly glanced at the hatchet hanging on the wall next to him.This glance didn't matter. I saw two faint dots of scarlet on the side of the broken window reflected on the shiny hatchet blade, which was sinister and cunning.

Xue Laosi's scalp felt numb for a while. He slowly turned his head and his eyes slowly moved to the window, but there was still nothing.

However, at this moment, there was only a sound of "clang", and the hatchet that had been well hung on the wall fell down without warning and smashed a broken jar in the corner to pieces.

Xue Laosi jumped up in surprise at the sudden sound, picked up the hatchet on the ground, gasped and cursed, and smashed the pile of broken cans to pieces.

Just when he was hammering hard, he heard the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-tapping sound that seemed to be mixed with another kind of sound. Each sound was clear and strange, as if someone was knocking on the window with a tile.

Xue Laosi tremblingly said: "Who?" No one answered.

But he knew that the thing from last night came again.
