Heaven's Beloved took the adoption manual of the sick apprentice

Chapter 28
Jiang Yu and Song Heqing were arranged by Liu Ji to wait on the stone table in the courtyard. Liu Ji prepared tea and put it on the table and hurriedly entered the back room.

"Who is here? Is someone here to bully you again?" An urgent voice came from the room.

Then there was a dull collision sound. Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at the room. The closed door blocked his sight.

"Master, do you want to take a look?"

"Don't move around, sit still."

Jiang Yu looked at the small courtyard. Although it was small and crowded, with a lot of firewood placed in the corner, the ground of the small courtyard was very clean, including the stone bench and table where they were sitting. They were wiped extremely clean without any dust.

Except for the noise at the beginning, the room has now become quiet, and one or two gentle conversations can be vaguely seen.

moment
Liu Ji closed the door and walked out with a hint of apology on his face, "My wife broke her leg when she went up the mountain some time ago. She has to take care of her, so I found a job as a midnight watcher."

"I just heard that someone seems to have been bullying you?" Jiang Yu asked tentatively.

Liu Ji's black and thin face was surprisingly dark red, and his tone was a little shy, "Yes, because the family is relatively poor and the wife is bedridden now. I am a man who always goes out in the middle of the night and some people deliberately come to make trouble, so the wife is more worried about me. .”

Jiang Yu nodded, they seemed to be a very loving couple.

"You said just now that it's not convenient to say it in a restaurant. I wonder if it's not convenient to say it now?"

"Okay, of course. You all should sit down. Stop talking while standing." Liu Ji quickly asked Jiang Yu and the others to sit down again.

He made two cups of tea for Jiang Yu and Song Heqing, "Don't dislike some old tea, you two."

"No, thank you very much Mr. Liu Langjun."

After Liu Ji sat down, he began to talk about the strange things he had encountered in the past few days and the things behind the horror.

In order to make a living, Liu Ji looked for several jobs that didn't take up daytime hours, but he couldn't find any. At this time, someone mentioned to him that there was no one to work late at night for a long time.

Liu Ji was actually scared in the middle of the night, but in the end he had no choice but to take on the job.

On the first day, there was nothing unusual. On the second day, it was the same. It was dark and quiet, but nothing happened.

Until a few days ago, when no one was around in the middle of the night, Liu Ji suddenly heard strange sounds, from far to near, from shallow to deep...

The sounds were like drum beats, far and near, like knocking on his heart, making him breathless.

He hurried home and did not dare to tell his wife at home. He only secretly asked others if he heard any strange noises at night when he went out to buy things during the day.

After asking several people, they all said they didn't hear it. Liu Ji felt even more strange. The sound was clearly very clear, and it was impossible for normal people without hearing loss not to hear it.

Liu Ji once suspected that he was hallucinating, so he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until he heard it again two nights ago that he began to feel scared. The sound was so strange. It didn't seem to come from a certain direction, but seemed to come from all directions, sometimes far and sometimes near...

In fact, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the sound, which is particularly like the sound of a drum.

The sound of drums is taboo in Bianyun Town. It cannot be mentioned or mentioned.

"So, is this why you don't dare to play drums in the restaurant?" Jiang Yu said doubtfully.

"That's true. If I say it outside, I'm afraid others will offend us and kick us out, so why not come to my house and have a good discussion." Liu Ji said timidly.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, "Why are you so afraid of drums?"

"Young lady and husband must also know that many years ago, before Tianlin was unified, Bianyun, as the middle area between Yandu and Jidu, was full of wars and drums. What some people here are most afraid of is the sound of drums. , the sound of drums is a death spell for the people here, making them scared.”

Liu Ji looked pale and picked up his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. For the people in Bianyun Town, the fear of drum sounds seemed to be innate and passed down from generation to generation.

Jiang Yu understood, "That's it."

"But just because of this reason, I just feel uncomfortable, so I won't have such a big reaction, right?" Song Heqing asked suddenly.

Liu Ji drank a cup of cool tea, poured out his anger, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Langjun is right. There is another reason, which is also a very important reason. Unlike other places, the sound of drums here means Seeing death is very unlucky.”

After the reunification of Tianlin, there were no more wars, and the people lived a peaceful life. Everything seemed to be getting better. After stability, the original small village continued to have outsiders move in, and gradually developed into the current town.

But I don’t know which day, the town suddenly heard the sound of drums at night...

From then on, the peace of the town was broken. People continued to disappear and people died. The sound of drums became ominous and a symbol of death. Until one day, a wandering Taoist priest came and passed by. I don’t know what he did. He never appeared again. People died and the sound of drums ceased.

The people in the small town also passed this thing down, and it lasted for hundreds of years...

This year, people suddenly began to disappear slowly, but no one had ever associated it with the sound of drums. Liu Ji had heard it during the last few days, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Did this happen a hundred years ago?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I heard that's the case." Liu Ji nodded.

"Master, do you think these two things are related?"

The appearance of corpse cultivators, the appearance of drums, the disappearance of living people...

Where are there so many coincidences in this world?
"It's possible. In this case, Liu Ji, do you want to continue to update tonight?"

Liu Ji glanced at the closed door and quickly lowered his voice and said: "If you are going, please keep your voice down. I promised my wife not to go there again and I won't let her hear."

"Song Heqing and I will be following you tonight, don't be afraid, we will definitely protect you." Jiang Yu whispered.

evening
Jiang Yu and Song Heqing quietly came to the back door of Liu Ji's house.

The back door is small and there is a peach tree next to it.

Jiang Yu leaned against the back wall and looked at the half-dead peach tree. Although it was about to decline, it still used its last vitality to maintain the blooming peach blossoms on the branches.

"Why bother." Jiang Yu stretched out his hand, and the light-colored Qi slowly poured into the tree.

"Master, it seems that he likes peach trees very much." Song Heqing stood aside and said softly.

Whether it is a peach tree planted 700 years ago or a peach tree that is unknown today.

Jiang Yu was slightly startled. Does she like peach trees very much?
Maybe, otherwise I wouldn't have planted a peach tree in the house and would be willing to carry the thunder for him.

Jiang Yu retracted his hand and took a few steps back. The peach tree began to regain its vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I just suddenly thought of Tao Qian. I don't know how he is doing alone in the house." Jiang Yu turned his back to Song Heqing and said warmly while looking at the back door.

"I see, I miss him a little bit too."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Guess I believe it or not?
