Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 177 Yingjie died young

Two days later, the situation in the city improved greatly.

The mud on the main road was cleared, and most of the corpses were carried outside the city and buried one by one.

The disaster victims also began to return to their homes one after another, and began to take care of and clean the affected houses. However, as the pain of the disaster gradually eased, no matter it was day or night in the past two days, there were people crying for their loved ones and paying homage to the dead. .

All this is impossible.

The disaster and grief caused by the Dragon King of Wujiang can only be healed by the power of time.

On this day, Li Xiuyuan didn't have many things to be busy with, and left the rest to Wang Ping, Ning Caichen, Zhu Yu and other scholars.

With these few days of busyness, they have gained experience and know how to arrange things, and they have grown and improved a lot. Now he can rest assured to leave other things to them.

After all, as a scholar, regardless of his ability to handle affairs, he is at least smart, and if he is not smart, he cannot be an academician.

And the ability to do things can be experienced.

Now that he has experienced it, he can stand on his own.

Li Xiuyuan was walking on the street at the moment, inspecting the situation in the city.

Although the major events have stabilized, he still needs to understand the disaster situation in the city. Standing in front of the Town God's Temple to command, it is impossible to understand clearly.

"Fortunately, the disaster relief has achieved initial results in the past two days."

After turning around, Li Xiuyuan nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Some disaster victims have returned to their homes to take care of and live in.

On the roof and beside the road, some people also set up hangers to dry their clothes.

Although many people lost their lives in this flood, fortunately, the city was not seriously damaged. After all, the flood flooded into the city, not rushed in, and did not destroy too many houses. A good foundation was laid.

"Boss, a strange thing happened to a family in the city."

Just when Li Xiuyuan walked around and had nothing else to do, when he was about to go to his house to have a look, a manager trotted over and said.

"Oh, what happened?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The steward looked to the side, and then said in a low voice; "A child's cry came from a family."

"Since there are children crying, then you should save them. Why are you looking for me?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The steward said: "Boss, this is not the case. The house has been filled with mud and water has been flooded in. There can be no living people. Moreover, the cry of the child has been ringing for three days. Others' People suspected that someone died there, and it started to be haunted."

Haunted?

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed.

Forget it, it has been about six days since the day of the disaster, that is to say, once the first seven days arrive tomorrow, the people who died in the city will be full of grievances and ghosts.

At that time, haunting is definitely not as simple as talking about it, but it will really happen, and it will happen on a large scale.

"Take me to have a look." Li Xiuyuan immediately paid attention to it.

I have been busy with disaster relief these days, so I forgot an important thing for a while.

At this moment, there is no City God in Guobei City, if he wants to suppress the ghosts, he has to do it himself.

The steward responded, and took Li Xiuyuan to the haunted place.

This is in a shop near the street. Although it is flooded, it can be vaguely seen that it is a tea shop.

Surrounded by a few men resting nearby, they gathered together to discuss the haunting in this shop.

Needless to say, after Li Xiuyuan walked in, he really heard the sound of a baby crying from inside the shop. Although it was faintly visible, it really appeared.

Are you haunted during the day?

Li Xiuyuan looked at the sun above his head, but soon understood.

I'm afraid that because of the darkness in the house and the lingering grievances in the city, the unjust soul has already begun to condense into a ghost body hiding in it, and the baby has no wisdom after becoming a ghost, only instinct, so it is not impossible to cry out in advance.

"My boss is here, hurry up, get up quickly."

"Hello, my boss."

When these resting men saw Li Xiuyuan striding forward, they all stood up to say hello.

It has to be said that the people in ancient times were relatively simple and simple. Although they were hired by Li Xiuyuan, even though they hadn't received their wages, they all worked hard and respected Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Is this shop haunted?"

"Yes, my boss, that's where the cries come from." A man said.

Li Xiuyuan asked: "Have you gone in and seen it?"

A person next to him said: "Go in and have a look, the inside is dark and damp, with a stench, the experienced old man said it smells like ghosts, there are ghosts inside, we dare not stay inside, so we sealed the shop with a door panel .”

"So what if there are ghosts in broad daylight? Could it be possible to eat you up? A few bold people took the door panel and opened the door." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Boss, I'm coming."

Immediately, two bold men came over, immediately removed the door panel, and opened the shop.

As soon as it was opened, there was indeed a stench coming out.

Li Xiuyuan frowned. This smell was indeed a ghost smell. He had smelled it from the water ghost in Dahu Village.

I took a look inside, but saw that there was still a lot of water and silt inside, but the inside was dim, but I couldn't see the situation inside clearly for a while.

He also didn't see a ghost inside.

However, it is not yet certain.

"Open the window over there, I'll go in and have a look." Li Xiuyuan said.

"How can I let my boss go in, let me go and see, I'm bold." Immediately, a man said.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll know if there are any ghosts or ghosts when I go in, and you are outside."

He did this not only to clarify the haunted matter, but also to stabilize people's hearts.

If he didn't dare to go to investigate, then all kinds of rumors and gossips would spread among the people in the city. When the first seven days of tomorrow night came, and the blinded souls woke up, the situation would only get worse.

Soon, the next window opened, and a little light came in.

Li Xiuyuan was not afraid, and immediately stepped into the dark and smelly shop.

Ghosts have always been the only ones to be afraid of, not ghosts.

Even the ghost king of the underworld, even if he sees him, he has to give him face, let alone the wronged soul who didn't even arrive in the first seven days.

When he stepped into the shop, he glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

But I saw a dead body in the shop clinging to a wooden pillar, with its feet wrapped around it, and its head tilted to the side. It was obvious that it had been dead for several days, and its body was already stiff, but it looked like a man in clothes. , His action was obviously because he was afraid of being washed away by the flood after the flood entered the city, so he hugged the pillar.

However, on top of the male corpse, he was seen holding a female corpse with both hands.

The female corpse was also stiff, white and swollen, and had been dead for many days.

Because the roof was almost submerged at the peak of the flood, and the terrain here was low, so all of them must have been submerged. Even if the male corpse below lifted her up, she still couldn't escape the catastrophe.

However, when Li Xiuyuan moved his eyes to the beam again, he saw the female corpse wrapped her arms around the beam, and there was a baby's corpse lying there limply on it.

Also drowned.

"It's them"

When Li Xiuyuan saw the baby's body and the woman's body, he immediately remembered who it was.

The female corpse was called Zhang before she was alive, and the baby on it was her son, and he had named the baby Zhang Yingjie.

"I originally thought that ten people make a hero, a hundred people make a hero, a thousand people make a hero, and ten thousand people make a hero, so I named him Zhang Yingjie, but unexpectedly, although the name is good, it ignores the fate." Li Xiuyuan was silent.

Reconciliation between Yingjie and Yingjie?

Yingjie also died young.

Now that the baby died young, didn't he answer this sentence?
And looking at it like this, he can also get a general understanding of the situation at that time.

That male corpse should be Zhang's husband.

When the flood came, the husband saved his wife, and the wife saved the child, trying to save the life of the child, but in the end, even the last offspring was not saved.

The family lost their lives to the number of days, and finally the family drowned here.

The three of them were dead now, and he couldn't do anything now, so he could only sigh, then walked over, jumped, and took down the baby's body.

"Hoohoo~!"

But when he moved the corpse, two gusts of wind immediately blew in the dimly lit shop.
