Quietly, autumn passes, and winter comes.

The cold in the north, cold to the bone, the sky and the earth, white.

The cold in the south is clear and the sky is clear and the sun is red, but I don't feel a trace of warmth.

Early in the morning, Ghost Cry, wearing a hat and carrying a cloth bag with a knife on his back, pushed open the door of the small courtyard, led the thin horse out, and then turned around and locked it.

This single-door and single-family courtyard, located next to the street outside Hangzhou, around Fireworks Willow Lane, was rented by Ghost Cry and cost him 800 Wen.

He was going to take his skinny horse to the countryside and let it walk well.

The average lifespan of a horse is more than 30 years.

As for war horses, because of going to the battlefield, injuries are inevitable, and their lifespan will be reduced a lot.

This skinny horse, since settling in Hangzhou City, has begun to decline rapidly, his appetite is getting worse and worse, and he must not have much time.

On the bluestone pavement, the horse's hooves clattered.

A man selling cooking cakes, carrying a burden, walked towards him.

In ancient times, it was really troublesome to make a fire, so Oni Cried didn't eat breakfast.

He asked for two cookcakes and paid four cents.

and the man who carried the burden of cooking cakes staggered by, and the man went away all the way.

Outside Hangzhou, it is still prosperous, but because there are too many refugees here, the security is not very good.

Early in the morning, the cries of hawkers are heard in the streets, most of which sell cooked food.

However, it is much quieter than other places, because it is bustling at night, and during the day, both the shops and customers are rested after a busy night.

Suddenly, Ghost Cry looked at the group of people around.

When I went up to take a look, I found that it was a person lying in the corner of the wall in thin clothes, his exposed skin was covered with bruises, and the whole thing looked hard.

Ghost Cry shook his head, the man was hopeless, he should have been frozen to death, he led the horse and continued to walk, and gradually, the house became thin.

At last, he came to a clearing by the river and let go of the reins.

There are many willow trees by the river in Hangzhou City, and in winter, they are bare and very bleak.

The horses were not at all excited by freedom, but they paced around slowly, like old men walking leisurely.

Oni Cry sat down under the tree, his eyes glancing at a house on the other side.

Faintly, the sound of reading came to my ears.

"This guy got up pretty early. ”

Muttering, Devil Cry's ass moved a few times, removed the cloth bag containing the knife on his back, leaned in front of him, lowered the brim of the hat on his head, and then took the cooking cake from his bosom and ate it bite by bite.

When he finished the cooking cake, the door of the house on the other side was also pushed open, and Li Wenwen, who was full of beard, wearing a burqa, and carrying a waist knife, walked out, and behind him, there was a woman, who was his wife.

Li Wenwen said a few words to his wife, and his wife closed it, and Li Wenwen also left with a shy stomach.

After eating the cooking cakes, the ghost clapped his hands and listened to the faint sound of reading: "Tut, this kid is better than me." ”

The cold sun basked the earth, and when it was close to noon, Ghost Cry led the horse back home slowly, and bought some food on the way.

He did not tie the reins, but let the horse pacing in the courtyard, and added some grass to its trough, and then, after the devil weeps, took off the hat, put down the knife, and went to the kitchen, took out the flint and the wood piled up on the wall, pulled a few straws, and lit them in the stove.

First, I steamed a pot of rice, and then stir-fried some vegetables.

Hold it in a large basin, and squat on the threshold and eat it.

While he was eating, someone came to the door.

"Hey, ghost brother, how are you eating?"

"Hmm. The ghost cried, sped up, shaved the food in the basin, and then put it on the ground casually, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Aunt Wang, why are you here? ”

"Good thing. At the gate of the courtyard, Aunt Wang said with a smile.

Aunt Wang is a well-known matchmaker nearby, she said that good things, what is a good thing Ghost Crying has already guessed, it is nothing more than a matchmaker.

Why did she find Ghost Cry, a guy with a strange name and not a good look, as a matchmaker, it has to talk about the surrounding environment.

Not far from here, there is a more famous fireworks willow lane.

But most of those who are there are prostitutes, and they belong to the places where the poor have fun.

Because of that, new casinos and other establishments began to be built in the surrounding area.

Over time, drunkards, gamblers, prostitutes, prostitutes, and gangsters began to run rampant here.

Because of the reputation of this place, most people don't want to live here, so the housing prices here are cheap, and the people who live here, in addition to the poor, are bad people, and there are a lot of demons hiding in it.

And Ghost Cry, although his face is not good, but he is strong and strong, he spends money on weekdays, he doesn't talk about spending money, but he never bargains when he buys things, and he eats meat every meal, and his standard of living is top among a bunch of poor people, and he also surpasses a large number of bad people.

However, Ghost Cry doesn't do anything bad on weekdays, on the contrary, if the neighbors ask for something, he will help one or two.

Not long ago, the fisherman Lao Zhang's family was targeted by a group of splashes, that is, the ghosts cried and broke a few legs, and no splashes dared to make trouble in this vicinity.

Therefore, in the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, although Ghost Cry has a bad face and a strange name, he is strong, rich and capable, not bad at gambling, not an alcoholic, and still a bachelor.

Therefore, naturally, there are more people visiting the door.

Especially this Aunt Wang, she visits the door very frequently.

"Forget it, Aunt Wang, I'm not interested. ”

"Hey, you guy, young man, how can you not want to marry a daughter-in-law to warm the bed. Aunt Wang smiled obscenely: "I can tell you, this time it is really a good family, but the daughter of the Zhang family wine shop, the family runs seven wine shops, and also runs a money lending business, there are many fields in the township, do you know, the bridge three miles away is built by him." His family is just this one child, you marry her, his family's Wanguan family wealth will not be yours in the future, let me tell you, this time he Zhang Dafu told me, it is not that you want to be rich, as long as you are his son-in-law, he will immediately let you follow him, teach you to do business, and give you power, even if you raise a few outer rooms in the future, it will not matter......"

Ghost Cry believes that what Aunt Wang said is true, because that Zhang Dafu and Ghost Cry have met.

The ghost cried in front of him, beat more than a dozen of his subordinates, and threatened him that he would look for him again in the future, so he touched it at night and cut off his head, and by the way, he also used demonic energy to let Zhang Dafu see the sea of corpses and blood in a daze, and heard the mourning of thousands of ghosts.

At that time, Zhang Dafu was so frightened that he shivered all over, and his crotch was wet.

However, afterwards, Zhang Dafu not only did not hold a grudge and cry, but fell in love with him, and tirelessly used various channels to express his willingness to marry his baby only daughter to him.

"Aunt Wang, don't mention this matter. The ghost cried helplessly, he is the most annoying to this kind of person, there is not much goodness, there is not much evil, killing and reducing merit, but he keeps annoying you.

"Hey, you doll, why are you so tough?"

......

Finally, Aunt Wang was sent away, and someone came to the door again.

This time it was a beggar, but it was an unusual beggar, he was from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

With demonic energy, he became a demon, and he still had to live in the crowd, so it was inevitable to deal with the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

In fact, on the third day of arriving in Hangzhou City, he was approached by people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Fortunately, before he became a demon, he was a human being, and his martial arts were superb, so he avoided a lot of trouble, but he just put a name on his face and told him not to kill people casually and disturb the order.

And Ghost Cry can maintain such a leisurely life, which is also inseparable from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

For some things, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is too busy to open, and there will be a reward.

Devil Cried made two orders and received some bounties, which were paid a lot of money.
