Feeling like a grown man being given a 'good guy' card, Hu Ma felt very unbalanced. What's the difference between calling a man a good guy and calling him useless?

Of course, he only thought about it. He definitely couldn't do anything about it.

He was currently concentrating on refining this fifth organ. How could he waste his efforts on such unimportant matters?

Bah, no ambition!

He didn't plan to wake her up, but just tidied up and planned to leave. Just as he turned his head, he saw her thin body.

He wondered if he should put something on her, but saw that Xiang丫tou suddenly woke up. Seeing that Hu Ma had already cleaned up the dishes, her face flushed, and she said in surprise, "Ah, I accidentally dreamed again. Don't blame me, 公子, I really shouldn't..."

Hu Ma naturally wouldn't get angry over such a trivial matter. Seeing that she was awake, he put down his robe and looked at her, saying, "Have you been very tired recently?"

"No, no..."

Xiang丫tou ran over to help Hu Ma clean up the dishes, her face red, and said, "Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun are very kind to me, and they don't let me do heavy work."

"But I don't know why, I always fall asleep for no reason recently, and have some strange dreams. Before, it was at night, so it didn't matter, but this time I didn't expect to fall asleep during the day."

"Oh?"

Hu Ma was slightly curious and said, "What strange dreams?"

He was a little strange about Xiang丫tou's description. Having dreams at night, isn't that normal?

As for dreaming during the day, it can happen when you're extremely tired, just taking a nap, but it feels like you've experienced a lot of things.

Of course, because this world is strange, he still had to ask.

"It's... it's..."

Hearing Hu Ma's question, Xiang丫tou frowned and thought hard, as if trying to retrieve the dream that had some remnants, and said, "I just heard someone crying outside, and then, I followed them out in a daze."

"Before, I was in the night, and after going out, I saw someone squatting at the door crying. I felt sorry for him, so I helped him lead the way, led him to the black door, and then came back."

"This time, this time it was the same. I don't know how I fell asleep, went to Yazi Village, and saw someone crying..."

"..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma suddenly felt surprised and hurriedly said, "Are these few dreams of yours similar?"

Looking at Xiang丫tou's somewhat confused eyes, he said, "What I mean is, you heard someone crying, and then had this kind of dream and led them the way? Then where did you lead them? What is that black door?"

"I..."

Hearing Hu Ma's words, Xiang丫tou was a little confused.

After a long time, she slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know, it just, just started after someone breathed on me. At that time, the surrounding villages were haunted, and I always heard someone crying at night, but Uncle Sun and the others couldn't hear it."

"There was one time, I heard the crying was so pitiful, I couldn't bear it and went out to take a look. I saw someone wandering around the town, crying and saying they couldn't find the way. I felt they were very pitiful, so I took them to the black door, and then, I would do this from time to time."

"I don't know what the black door is, but it seems, it just feels like they should go there."

"They... they are very pitiful, like being thrown on the street and no one cares about them. They are all very happy when they go there, and they even kowtow to me..."

"..."

Listening, Hu Ma became more and more surprised, and hurriedly looked at Xiang丫tou and said, "And then?"

"Then I came back!"

Xiang丫tou said, "Every time I send them to the place, I feel like I'm floating back, and then I wake up."

"It's just that I can't remember the things in the dream very clearly. Every time I hear someone crying again, I can remember the previous things, but after I go back and sleep, I slowly forget them again."

"..."

"This..."

Hu Ma vaguely felt that this matter didn't seem so simple.

After thinking carefully, he also knew that Yazi Village was close to Old Yin Mountain, not far from where he had discovered the peach tree spirit, but thinking about it, it was also thirty *li* away.

After a slight groan, he said, "Then do you remember what the name of the person you led the way just now was?"

"She..."

Xiang丫tou was a little confused, but she actually said it quickly, "Her name is Li Er丫, *gengchen* is..."

"Okay."

Hu Ma agreed. Seeing that Xiang丫tou was a little nervous after being asked a few questions by him, he just waved his hand and said, "Can you control this kind of dream?"

"I don't understand these things very well, but this world is evil, so you can't be careless. If you can control it, then do less of this kind of thing for now. Go back and write a letter first and send it to your parents, and it will be good when they come to pick you up."

"Okay, I remember what 公子 said."

Xiang丫tou hurriedly said, "I can not go, I just went there because I heard them crying pitifully."

"By the way..."

She seemed to have remembered something and said, "I started to remember things, also, also from leading them the way."

She also felt that it was not good to have fallen asleep here with Hu Ma, so she hurried to leave, but insisted on taking Hu Ma's torn clothes back to wash and mend them for him. Hu Ma didn't stop her, and watched her leave the village before calling Zhou Datong over:

"Have you seen enough?"

"..."

Zhou Datong was shocked when he heard this, and gave a disdainful look at the guys who were still looking at Xiang丫tou outside the village. He said, "I don't watch, I have no interest in these things now."

"Brother Ma, I have learned real skills from you, and now I just want to earn the lamp oil money you mentioned, so I can learn even greater skills. Woman?"

"Hehe, I'd rather take a knife and chop myself..."

"..."

"?"

Hu Ma was startled when he saw him swearing so fiercely, and hurriedly said, "That's not necessary."

If the old patriarch knew that he had let his precious grandson chop himself, he probably wouldn't be able to go back to Da Yang Village.

However, he also knew that Zhou Datong's right foot had been refined. He was a little surprised when this kid came over to say it. The speed was unexpectedly fast, and it made him vaguely feel curious during that time:

Could it be that there are really things like blessings and merits in this world?

Because Zhou Datong had been busy helping the surrounding neighbors these few days, so his *yinde* was thick, and his cultivation was fast?

He also had a similar feeling at the time, but it was not as obvious as Zhou Datong.

For the time being, he put this matter behind him and said to Zhou Datong, "I have something for you to run errands. You go to Yazi Village now and find out if there is any wedding or funeral there, especially ask about a girl named Li Er丫... Find out clearly and come back to me."

"Li Er丫?"

Zhou Datong listened and said, "It feels like she should be a pretty girl..."

He didn't know why Hu Ma asked him to go, but he didn't ask too much, just agreed and went out.

After Zhou Datong left, Hu Ma also sat down and thought silently for a while.

He vaguely felt that this丫tou, whom he had picked up from a young incense master of the Qingyi Gang, didn't seem so simple.

Hearing the crying and going out, leading people in dreams, and even leading them to the black door...

The more he thought about it, the more strange it became. He even suddenly had a bold idea in his heart: "This丫tou's surname is Li..."

"There is also a Li family among the ten surnames..."

"..."

However, this idea only flashed in his mind and then passed. He always felt it was a bit outrageous.

How could a member of the dignified Impermanence Li family be abducted by a trafficker?

If she were a member of the Impermanence Li family, he would eat the red lantern at the gate...

While thinking, he silently checked the recent account books. He felt that Zhou Liang had done things properly. Now the most capable people in the village are Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu.

Zhou Datong just fools around, while Zhao Zhu is fond of his pitchfork, and especially likes to collect some folk remedies to cure evil spirits. This time, following other ghost walkers, he gained a lot of knowledge. Presumably, all kinds of spells are now even more powerful.

As for Zhou Liang, he is a steady person. He has to be the one to handle the accounting.

Of course, besides them, there is also Li Wa丫zi.

But can Li Wa丫zi compare with them?

Now Brother Wa丫zi is already the most relied upon master craftsman in this village besides himself...

He put down the account books and just waited for Zhou Datong to come back. It was not until dark that he saw Zhou Datong slip into the village in a panic. He looked a little embarrassed. As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he complained to him: "Brother Ma, you have found me a good job!"

Hu Ma was a little surprised and hurriedly smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"I..."

Zhou Datong first went to the kitchen and poured half a ladle of cold water before saying, "Fortunately, I ran fast!"

"As soon as I entered Yazi Village, I asked people if there was any wedding or funeral, and someone pointed me to it. It happened to be in their village that there was a family holding a funeral."

"I went over there and asked people if there was a girl named Li Er丫, whether she was beautiful or not..."

"Good fellow, people went crazy all of a sudden and wanted to beat me."

"..."

Zhou Datong said with a sad face: "I only found out after being beaten a few times that Li Er丫 was the one lying in the coffin. She was eighty-seven years old and had just passed away at noon today. I even excitedly asked her grandson if she had been promised to someone..."

"Ah?"

When Hu Ma heard this, he felt both amused and surprised.

It didn't matter that Zhou Datong was beaten, anyway, he had a foundation and was thick-skinned.

This was also because he went to a village thirty *li* away. If it was a village nearby, everyone would know him, and he wouldn't be able to escape the beating.

What was surprising was that the person Xiang丫tou said was actually there?

The thing about her leading the way in her dream was actually true?

Then why does she have this ability, saying that she led them to the black door, and where is the black door? Could it really be...

"It seems that this丫tou does have a background..."

Hu Ma thought silently in his heart, comforted Zhou Datong a few words, and didn't make it public for the time being, but just wrote down this matter first.

In any case, wait until her family sends a letter.

I had a fever of 38.5 yesterday. I took antipyretics and was covered in sweat. The day before yesterday, I rushed out some manuscripts, preparing to rest today and tomorrow for the New Year's Eve. Well, there's no need to rest. I'll update them first to make the readers happy. I don't care, just give me the tickets.
