She nodded, her large eyes filled with doubt.

Relieved, I picked up the coupon and handed it to her. "Here's your courier," I said.

The aural hearing said, "Delivery has resulted in an increase in performance. Don't forget to accept the extra entrustment. Next time, I won't remind you.

Why are you crying? Had the picture touched her heart?

It wasn't good for me to ask directly, so I had to guess in my heart.

She cried quietly for a while.

She slowly raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at me with a wistful look in her eyes and made a few gestures.

I really didn't understand sign language. I looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "I don't know sign language. Can you write it down?" I stretched out my palm and said, "Write it on my palm."

She pursed her lips and nodded. The soft little hand gripped my wrist. The other hand reached out a finger and began to write on my palm.

She didn't seem to be able to write very well. Fortunately, she didn't write any obscure characters. After thinking about it for a while, I was able to recognize her as being in danger.

Four words: "I want to go home."

I was stunned. "Going home?" Isn't this your home? "

She shook her head and started writing again in my hand.

It said: "I only remember that I fled here with a man. This is not my home. As for the past, I don't seem to be able to recall it anymore. This is what I used to paint and play with when I was young. I wonder how you found it, can you tell me? "

I felt a little guilty, I couldn't reveal anything about the Six Realms Express. So I forced myself to lie: "I'm a courier, and I entrusted my people to keep the address a secret. I also have to keep it a secret for him, sorry."

She nodded, vaguely understanding, and wrote: "It's fine, thank you."

I looked at her face, always warm and smiling, and I couldn't bear to see her sad disappointment. I just wanted to protect her. He felt his head grow hot, so he promised with his mouth full of assurance, "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate your background and bring you home."

She felt my warm, sincere gaze, blushed again, and lowered her head shyly. Her dimples were shallow, and although she was shy, she was definitely genuinely happy.

I coughed lightly and held onto her jade-like hand to help her up. "You should rest for a while. I'm going to take a look around the village." See if I can get some information. "

The Pingcun was not big, and there were only a few dozen families in the entire village. It was a small village that was very far away from the town. Naturally, its economic conditions couldn't be compared with the town's.

I left the hut and wandered around the village. He saw an old man sitting under a big old tree at the entrance of the village. He leaned on a cold chair and leisurely waved a fan.

I was elated and quickly walked over.

Before I even opened my mouth to speak, this old man spoke first.

He said, "Are you feeling better, boy?"

I didn't understand, but I still couldn't be impolite. "Thank you for taking care of me, sir. I'm much better now."

He said, "Quite polite, not many young people are polite these days. Especially poor old men like me, that's even rarer. "

I scratched my head and smiled, embarrassed, not knowing what to say next.

He seemed to have understood my problem, so he lightly waved his fan and sighed, "The Mijia girl has a pure heart, his life is also very pitiful. "Brat, don't bully her. Otherwise, even if I only have this old set of bones left, I will still fight to the death with you."

I shook my head and said, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that to her. "It's just that she saved my life, and I want to repay her kindness with my kindness, that's all."

He said, "No is best."

I heaved a sigh of relief. "Then, do you know her background?"

He shook his head. "I don't know. But one person should know. "

I said, "Who?"

He said, "I fled here with her, but..."

An ominous premonition rose in me. "Only what?"

"But the man is dead," he said, "and he is buried on the hill behind the village."

I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a low hill behind the village, covered with graves. Even from so far away, I could still feel a chill coming from that direction, which made me shiver a little.

It seemed that if he wanted to find out about Mi Shu's background, he would have to go to the cemetery.

I thanked my lord and strolled around the village a few more times. After getting a little familiar with the place, he returned to Mi Shu's home.

The house had been cleaned up. She was sitting at the table, her food ready, and when she saw me come back she waved to me and pointed to the food on the table, making a gesture of eating.

I said, "Thank you," and sat down at the same table with her. As he ate, he talked about what he had learned.

When she heard that I was going to explore the cemetery tonight, she looked worried. She dipped her finger in the water and wrote on the table, "People are dead. I heard from the old man in the village that the place was not very clean. "

I finished the last bite and shook my head. "No. Since I've promised you, I must do it. I won't give up unless there's really no clue there. "

Her small mouth flattened, her face was somewhat unhappy, as she wrote: "You took such a huge risk for me, is it worth it?"

I said, "Of course it's worth it. If it weren't for you, I'd probably have gone to report to Yama by now. To explore the mountains of the grave for you, is there anything difficult about it? "

She relaxed a little and blushed again, writing: "You will please me. I hate oily boys the most. I'll punish you by washing the bowls today. " When she was done, her cheeks were so red that blood could drip from them. She lightly stamped her feet, stood up, and left the room.

Eh? Why are you angry?

A girl's mind shouldn't be randomly guessing, it's better to just obediently go wash the dishes.

He put the leftovers away and wiped the table clean. I took a bowl of water and put the bowl in.

Before I could make a move, I remembered the red packet reward I received earlier.

He took out the bottle of Yin Yang Eye Drops.

So it turned out that the effects of this "Yin Yang Eye Drops" were similar to the folklore of "Tears of Ox". If you dripped it into your eyes, you could see the unclean things. Unfortunately, the dosage was only enough once. The medicinal effect would be around one day.

That's good, so I don't have to go through so much trouble to find "tears of cattle."

After washing the dishes, the sky had already darkened. I put them all back neatly in the cupboard.

Just as he turned around, he saw that Mi Shu had already returned.

She closed the door behind her and walked over to me, holding a yellow paper charm folded into a triangle in her hand.

She held my hand and stuffed the yellow paper talisman into it. Then, she gently wrote on my palm, "This is the safety talisman I got from the village. Put it in your pocket. This way, the dirty stuff won't get to you."

My heart warmed as I held her jade-like hand and softly said, "Thank you."

She blushed and gently withdrew her hand. She shook her head, not daring to look at me directly.

I smiled and put the safety amulet into my pocket. "If you're tired, you should go to sleep first. "Don't wait for me."

She nodded, still not daring to look at me.

After leaving Mi Shu's house, I used up all of my Yin Yang Eye Drops. She made a small turn and walked along a field trail until she reached the foot of the grave.

Phosphorous fire was floating on the mountain, reflecting the green light. The branches of the dead tree were like ghosts. Along with the "hu hu" sound of the wind blowing past his ears, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Although there was a waning moon in the sky, the moonlight could not penetrate it at all. The mountain was still dark and gloomy, causing people's hearts to tremble.

Aiya! How could I have forgotten to bring a flashlight? It would be difficult to see the road clearly, so how could I investigate?

Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly heard a very soft voice.

She said, "Little brother, how come you're not here with a flashlight? "Here, I have one here. Here, take it. No need to thank me."

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that a barefoot girl, who was wearing only a pure white shirt that revealed her tender white legs, had suddenly appeared beside me. He was also holding a black flashlight with a smile on his face.

My heart thumped, thudded, and I dared not take the flashlight from her hand. Because I didn't hear her footsteps. Furthermore, her face was pale and bloodless. Even though she was very beautiful, she didn't look like a human at all.

Yin-Yang Eye Drops have been effective for a long time. I don't believe that anyone would be like me, exploring this ghastly earth grave alone. What's more, she was just a delicate girl? Therefore, I had already treated her as a ghost of this mountain and didn't dare to speak to her.

I once heard the old people say that if I met a dirty thing. The best response would be to pretend to turn a blind eye. That way, as long as they weren't evil spirits or evil spirits with great grievances, they would no longer be able to entangle you.

The current me used this method. Even though Zhang Xuan did not know the authenticity of the matter, he could only treat it as though it was the end of the world.

I ignored her and walked on. He tried his best to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was flustered.

She sighed with some bitterness and said, "Ai. So lonely, no one can see me, no one will play with me, they are all bad people, bad people. "

The sound gradually faded into the distance, until it could no longer be heard.

I heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off my forehead and continued walking forward.
