Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 678 Puppet

Ding Ermiao heard the muttering behind him, put his hands behind his back, and made an OK gesture behind him, signaling Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan to be at ease.

It's just a ghost village, I'm sorry they don't have the ability to harm me yet.

Diao Degui led the way from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. He stopped in front of the last house with gray bricks and gray tiles and said: "This is my home, here we are."

Ding Ermiao nodded, and walked in with Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan.

Looking around, the house was extremely dilapidated and the roof was covered with cobweb dust.A kerosene lamp was placed on the table, emitting a dim light.

There are only three rooms in this house.There is a main room, with a bedroom at the east and west ends.

Looking at everything in front of them, Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan felt that they had traveled back to the period of the Republic of China.

"Fellow, didn't you say you have a daughter? Why didn't you see it?" Ding Ermiao asked without changing his expression as he sat down on the bench in a dignified manner.

Diao Degui nodded and said, "I'll call her."

With that said, Diao Degui walked to the west room, opened the door, and called out: "Zhen'er, we have a guest at home, come out and pour tea."

"Coming, coming." There was a promise in the room, and then a girl wearing coarse clothes walked out.

The girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was thin and seemed stunted, but she had a pretty face and regular facial features.

"This is my daughter, her name is Zhen'er. She is 17 years old this year." Diao Degui explained.

Ding Ermiao looked at Zhen'er, suddenly smiled and said, "What a beautiful Zhen'er, I like it!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao were very surprised.I have never seen Ding Ermiao be so straightforward.Even if the other person is a ghost, there is no need to tease them in front of their father, right?

Even ghosts are shy. What if someone immediately turns against you?
Who knew that Diao Zhen'er was neither angry nor shy, and walked back as soon as she turned around.

Gu Qinglan followed to the back door, looked around and saw that the kitchen was behind.Presumably, this Zhen'er went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare tea.

Facing Ding Ermiao's frivolity, Diao Degui didn't react at all, which was really unreasonable.

Ding Ermiao smiled slightly, looked at Diao Degui and asked, "My fellow countrymen, why don't you use electric lights here?"

"What is... electric light?" Diao Degui was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think about it again, and said: "There is no... wire yet, no wire."

"No thread? Don't you have thread for making shoes and clothes at home?" Ding Ermiao asked, holding back a smile.

Diao Degui shook his head, looking a little anxious, and said: "It's not that kind of line, it's not that kind of line."

"What line is that?" Ji Xiaoxiao also knew something was wrong and asked.

The Diao Degui in front of him seemed to have no idea about modern things. Electric lights and wires were very strange to him.

"I don't know what the line is called. I'll ask the village chief later." Diao Degui hesitated in embarrassment.

"It's a wire, right?" Ding Ermiao smiled.

Diao Degui was overjoyed and nodded: "Yes, yes, it's a wire, it's a wire."

"There are no wires, so there are no lights. This is what the village chief asked you to say, right?" Ding Ermiao smiled and asked again.

Diao Degui was stunned and said, "How did you know?"

"I am your village chief's friend, of course I know." Ding Ermiao stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around and said, "Your village chief, why aren't you here yet?"

Diao Degui walked outside the door, looked around for a while, then returned to the room and said, "It's coming, it's coming."

Ding Ermiao saw that this bastard was acting silly and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he sat down again.

After a short while, Zhen'er brought three cups of tea with a wooden tray in her hand.

Diao Degui stepped forward, held the three cups of tea one by one into the hands of Ding Ermiao and others, and said: "Drink tea, drink tea."

Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan knew something was wrong, so of course they didn't dare to drink. They both looked at Ding Ermiao together.

Ding Ermiao held the tea cup in her hand, stared at it for a while, moved her lips, and then handed her tea cup to Gu Qinglan and said: "This tea is too hot, Sister Lan, let's change it to another cup."

Gu Qinglan didn't understand what Ding Ermiao meant, so she exchanged a cup of tea with Ding Ermiao.

But after Ding Ermiao took the cup, she was not in a hurry to drink it. She looked at it for a moment, handed it to Ji Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's get another bowl."

Diao Degui on the side looked at Ding Ermiao curiously. It was obvious that he didn't know what Ding Ermiao was doing.

After changing Ji Xiaoxiao's tea cup, Ding Ermiao looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "Everyone is thirsty, let's drink tea."

"Yes, drink tea, drink tea." Diao Degui raised his hand to invite him.

Ding Ermiao smiled, picked up the teacup, tilted her neck, and drank cleanly.

But Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan looked at it for a long time and still didn't dare to drink it, so they put the tea cup back on the table.

"Why don't you drink tea?" Diao Degui asked Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan anxiously.

"They are not thirsty, so they don't drink tea." Ding Ermiao stretched out his hand, brought the two cups of tea together, and drank it cleanly.

Zhen'er on the side showed a smile when she saw this scene.

Putting down the teacup, Ding Ermiao looked at Diao Degui and said, "Why isn't your village chief here yet? You go out and look for him. Just say I'm waiting for him."

Diao Degui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and finally walked out.

Ding Ermiao smiled, put her backpack on the table, and opened it slowly.

"What's in your bag?" Zhen'er also came over, looked at the messy magic weapons in Ding Ermiao's bag, and asked.

"These... are all belonging to Maoshan disciples." Ding Ermiao smiled and said, "I am a Maoshan disciple."

"Maoshan disciple...?" Zhen'er shook her head in confusion and asked, "What is Maoshan disciple?"

"Uh..., don't even the Maoshan disciples know? It's really embarrassing to be a ghost and do this." Ding Ermiao smiled helplessly and suddenly pointed out!
"Ah...!" Zhen'er screamed, her body flew several feet away, and she stood against the wall with a look of horror on her face.

Ji Xiaoxiao also covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Because now Zhen'er suddenly changed her appearance and turned into a skinny and ugly appearance.He looked like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for a hundred days. His face was sallow and his muscles were thin, and his eyes were sunken into his sockets.

In other words, it doesn't look like a human being at all, like a mummy.

"Er Miao, what the hell is this?" Gu Qinglan also became nervous and asked.

Ding Ermiao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid. These are all ghosts who died of the plague during the Republic of China. After death, they were controlled by the plague ghost and became stupid ghost minions and puppets. They are basically non-lethal."

"Plague?" Gu Qinglan was surprised and said, "You know there is a plague here, but you still come?"

"How can we catch that plague ghost if we don't come? Don't worry, we won't be infected."

While Ding Ermiao was talking, he quickly drew several spells.
