Chapter 278 - 278: Young Ghost
He jumped from roof to roof like a swallow and headed east. When they circled around the city, they found a market in the east of the city. The young ghost planned to shop in the market and ask around.
However, before he could even reach the boundary of the market, he was stopped by a stick that appeared out of nowhere.
“Hey!” The young ghost was just walking on the wall when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and swept towards him. He quickly dodged, and the stick barely brushed past his eyes.
“Aiya!” The young ghost was too focused on dodging the rod and lost his balance. He fell into a courtyard.
“Who are you?” Before the young ghost could get up from the ground, the ferocious long staff chased after him with an angry roar. It pointed straight at the tip of his nose.” Why are you climbing on my roof?!”
The young ghost took a closer look and saw that the fierce yard owner was actually a little girl with a ponytail.
However, the little girl’s body was enveloped in a faint golden light of virtue. she was less than 1.5 meters tall, but ordinary ghosts had to take a detour.
“I’m just a passerby… Passing by, passing by! The road is not easy to walk on, so I walked to the side.”The young ghost smiled embarrassedly and tried to get up as he explained.
This little girl was really vicious! And this golden light of virtue, oh my, my whole body hurts when I get close to it!
“Who are the passersby?” The little girl swept the young ghost back to the ground with her staff.
The little girl pressed on step by step, and the young ghost had no choice but to retreat.
” …”The young ghost felt wronged. Who was a passerby? What kind of question was this!
However, the little girl and the stick in her hand were too fierce. The young ghost could only weakly defend himself,”Just a passerby… Short for, passerby.” He actually! Being interrogated by an ignorant little girl! Ghosts had never suffered such grievances in their lives!
“A passerby?” The little girl frowned as if she didn’t understand.
“Xiao Mu! You can’t point a stick at others like this! “A woman in an apron heard the commotion and rushed out of the house.
“Mommy!” The little girl turned her head and replied, but the stick refused to move an inch.” He was jumping on the roof just now!”
“I’m looking for a way!” The young ghost quickly explained,” The road next door is being repaired. I’m in a hurry to go to the market, so I had to borrow the road…
He didn’t speak the truth. He didn’t even look at the road beside him. What road repair? Of course, he was just bragging. The young ghost didn’t care about the truth. Anything that could escape the little girl’s stick was good.
“Is that so? Xiao Mu, quickly put it woman in the apron did not suspect anything. She only said worriedly,” Maybe it’s because they’re looking for the cursed again. You can walk from the outside of the courtyard. The small road on the left can also lead to the market.’
The little girl withdrew her rod and leaned against the woman, still looking at the young ghost suspiciously.
The young ghost asked unhurriedly,”Cursed person?” Could it be that someone here had found a clue?”
“Where are the clues?” The woman sighed.” It’s because everyone is panicking, so there will always be people who make groundless accusations. Today, they cause trouble in the east of the city, and tomorrow, they will say that someone has appeared in the north of the city, causing chaos. If you ask me, this person might not even exist.”
“Why?” The young ghost was a little puzzled. Although the notice of the Great
Wizard was very strange, most of them believed it when they heard the discussions of the people gathered on the streets.
“It’s just that the previous notice said that the cursed person had willow leaves hanging from his waist, but where do we have willow trees?”The woman said,” We only saw them when we went to the south. But now that we’re isolated by the flood, we can’t see the willow trees anymore. Even if he had willow leaves, they should have withered by now.”
“I don’t know about others, but Xiao Mu used to like playing willow flute. When he first arrived here, he ran all over the city to look for willow trees, but he couldn’t find a single one.”The woman said with certainty as she held the little girl in her arms.
“Absolutely not!” the little girl said.”
The young ghost nodded thoughtfully.”” I see. Looks like this prophecy isn’t
100% accurate…”
“Hey! You can’t say that!” The woman quickly lowered her voice and said,”The Great Wizard is now very popular in the city. If you say this, there will be trouble!””
“Sorry, sorry!” The young ghost waved his hand.” But thank you for telling me this! I’ll leave now!” Hurry up and leave!
Because the little girl was really a little elusive, the young ghost had difficulty walking to the market seriously.
At the same time, the female ghost was running for her life..
