Chapter 12 The Phantom of Midnight

Shouyang Peak is as towering as clouds, and the elevation is more than thousands of people? Walking on the edge of the cliff, Jiang Hanye only felt the mountain wind roaring, blowing his clothes, and his skin was full of standing hair and goose bumps. This half was because the mountain wind was cold, and the other half was because the cliff was too high, and he was also a little afraid.

Clouds wrapped around Jiang Hanye. He even stretched out his hand to grab a cloud, but he clearly saw it in the palm of his hand. When he opened his palm, he found that it was empty.

The edge of the cliff soon arrived. Jiang Hanye tried his best to search for the single-plank bridge mentioned in Taobo's mouth, but on the white fog and empty cliff, where is the shadow of the single-plank bridge? Finally, he saw a thick bowl of wood near the edge of the cliff. Is this what Taobo called a single-plank bridge? Looking at the towering peaks opposite and the bottomless cliff, Jiang Hanye stuck out his tongue.

"This old man must be teasing me?" Jiang Hanye thought to himself, "Maybe the tomb is actually in the woods."

The mountain wind was cold, and Jiang Hanye trembled with excitement and turned around and walked back.

The twilight on the mountain came late. Now it's sunset. The sun shines through the fog on this cliff. Jiang Hanye saw that the soil in the vegetable garden was a little dry, and then looked at the empty bucket next to it. There was a mountain spring near the peach blossom forest on the left side of the house. He thought about it and decided to repay the old man. With the grace of an egg, he picked up the bucket and walked to the mountain spring without saying a sound.

Tao Bo sat on a bamboo chair and shook. Seeing that Jiang Hanye had not come back for half a day, he couldn't help muttering: "Isn't this fool blown off the cliff by the wind? That's a sin. No, I have to go and have a look!" So the old man stood up and walked back of the house step by step with a crutch. When he came to the house, he saw Jiang Hanye struggling to carry a large bucket of water from the distance to the vegetable garden.

The bucket is very large, almost two out of Jiang Hanye's length, and the water is naturally indispensable. Not to mention full of water, even the empty bucket has a weight of dozens of pounds. Seeing this scene, Tao Bo quickly dodged and hid in the corner of the room: "I'd like to see if this boy is really intentional or fake. Isn't he used to eating my little black eggs and wants to eat them every day?"

He didn't see Tao Bo in the cold night over there. He was concentrating on the bucket of water at this time. Although Jiang Hanye was honest, he was not a fool. He also knew that the bucket was heavy, so he only hit half a bucket of water. However, it was so tired that he almost had to take a break after walking three steps. In a short distance of less than ten feet, he actually walked close to a bucket of incense. Taking the water to the vegetable garden, Jiang Hanye looked for water everywhere to sprinkle water for the vegetables, but he couldn't find it for a long time.

"Fool, what are you doing?" At this time, Tao Bo suddenly flashed out of the corner of the room and looked at him with a smile.

Jiang Hanye's face turned red and muttered, "Paid, I saw that this garden was short of water, so I wanted to help you water the vegetables, but I didn't find a water scoop..."

"What kind of water do you want? Old man, I usually sprinkle water with a bucket. There was a trace of sarcasm at the corners of Taobo's mouth.

"Ah?" Jiang Hanye looked at Uncle Tao in surprise and looked at the bucket on the ground, "But this bucket is so heavy, how can you stand it?"

"Humph, what can I do? I'm alone. Do I have to wait for Xiaohei to do it if I don't do these?" Tao Bo snorted and said, "If you want to do it, just do it. If you don't want to do it, just go. I didn't ask you!" After saying that, he turned around and walked under the peach tree on crutches.

When Tao Bo said this, Jiang Hanye had no choice but to lift the bucket and try to carry the bucket to sprinkle water, but he was only 11 years old. To be precise, he was only 11 years old on the 18th of the twelfth lunar month this winter. It is impossible for such a small child to lift this bucket of water.

Piao went back to the chair and sat down, lay down and closed his eyes to refresh himself, but he thought secretly, "Look at his skinny monkey, a stupid boy, is it possible that he can really help me water the vegetable garden? Well, I'll go and have a look later. Maybe I've lost the bucket of peaches a long ago. I've seen a lot of children with no perseverance..." Thinking about it, Uncle Tao actually dozed off with his eyes closed. When he finished doze off, and then looked at the sky around here, the night had already come.

"It's time to light the light..." Uncle Tao seemed to have forgotten that there was a stupid boy behind his room. He called Xiaohei with a stick and walked all the way to the room. When he reached the door of the house, he heard the sound of splashing water, so the confused old man thought, "Oh, yes, the stupid boy is still there. What about it?

Tao Bo turned to the back of the house and saw that under the moonlight, Jiang Hanye, with a sweaty face, was carrying a big bucket and spilling the water into the garden little by little. Now most of the vegetable garden has been watered, and Jiang Hanye's clothes have been almost drenched with water.

After watering the last piece of land, Jiang Hanye gasped and carefully put the bucket in place. He reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, twisted the water on his clothes, and gasped tiredly. This job is much more tiring than brushing the toilet. At least the toilet is not so heavy. Jiang Hanye feels that his hands and feet are no longer his. I was wiping my sweat, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Uncle Tao.

"Tao Bo..." Jiang Hanye was a little embarrassed, "After watering the garden, I'm going back."

"Oh, let's go!" Tao Bo's eyelids were down, "Don't come if you have nothing to do."

Is there any way to see off guests? Jiang Hanye couldn't laugh or laugh. In the face of this strange-tempered old man, he had nothing to say. He just walked to Uncle Tao and gave him a salute: "Thank you, Uncle Tao for giving me eggs. Jiang Hanye will never forget it." After saying that, he strode out. Although every muscle on his body was extremely sore, he still had to maintain his self-esteem in front of the strange old man.

Looking at Jiang Hanye's stubborn back, Tao Bo pouted his beard and shouted at him, "Yo, my temper is quite strong! Who wants you to remember my kindness? If you have the ability to return me an egg, I will ask for my original one!"

Although he has not known Tao Bo for a long time, the old man's strange temper Jiang Hanye also learned it, so no matter what he said behind him, Jiang Hanye didn't mind. At this moment, he just wanted to go back to his dark and wet hut, throw himself into ** and sleep in the dark.

Back to Yuewei Courtyard, the yard was quiet, only Wei Changping's bedroom was lit, while Zhou Botao's room was dark and quiet, and it seemed that he was not in the bedroom. In fact, only Jiang Hanye, Wei Changping and Zhou Botao live in this Yueweiyuan, which is the residence of disciples with foreign surnames, because the three of them are the only people with foreign surnames who have been admitted to Wanjian Villa in the past 100 years. Jiang Hanye was not interested in Zhou Botao's where he was going. He went straight back to his bedroom, opened the door, and lay ** without taking off his clothes. Although he wet his clothes while helping Taobo water the vegetable garden, the bed is even more wet than his clothes. What the hell! Jiang Hanye closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short time. I don't know what else is waiting for him tomorrow except those smelly toilets?

In the haze, Jiang Hanye felt a slight footsteps outside the door. He woke up and opened his eyes. Sure enough, he saw a figure printed on the window paper under the moonlight, and someone called him softly: "Wake up!"

"Who are you?" Jiang Hanye sat up with excitement. In the middle of the night, he suddenly saw such a scene while sleeping. Anyone would be shocked, not to mention that he was just a teenager.

"Follow me." The man did not answer him, but said in a commanding tone.

The man's voice was very familiar. Jiang Hanye recalled it carefully and soon remembered that he had heard this person's voice when he was taking the entry test in Tiantan Water. Although Jiang Hanye felt strange, the sound seemed to have irresistible power, which forced him to open the door and look out.

There is no one under the window.

"Huh? Window?" A cold wind blew, and Jiang Hanye trembled again. Isn't there no window in his bedroom? But before he could think carefully, he saw a figure standing in the middle of the yard under the moonlight, which was vague and unclear and was wavoking to him.

At this time, Jiang Hanye's curiosity had overcome his fear. He really wanted to know where the man wanted to take him, so he followed him without thinking about it.

The man's footsteps were light, his body was erratic, and he walked slowly, but no matter how Jiang Hanye accelerated his pace, he always kept a distance of more than ten steps from the man and could not get close. The blurred figure in the moonlight did not walk out of the yard, but went straight through the yard to the row of houses opposite Jiang Hanye's bedroom. The houses there were well lit and clean and comfortable. Wei Changping and Zhou Botao lived there. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hanye's eyebrows couldn't help piled up.

For Wei Changping and Zhou Botao, Jiang Hanye doesn't like it at all. Why did this person lead himself to the place where they live?

The figure suddenly walked to one of the bedrooms, which was Zhou Botao's bedroom. At this time, it was three times in the middle of the night, and Zhou Botao's bedroom was still lit.

"Why doesn't he go to bed so late?" Jiang Hanye muttered darkly.

The figure seemed to be close to the door, but it did not mean to stop at all. Instead, it disappeared vividly at the door of Zhou Botao's room under Jiang Hanye's eyes, as if it had passed through the wall.

Jiang Hanye rubbed his eyes in surprise. He was not sure whether everything he saw was true. Is it possible that the man was a fairy? But if you think about where you are, isn't this the place to practice Taoism and cultivate immortals? Jiang Hanye involuntarily moved his steps and approached the window, because he vaguely felt that the blurred figure seemed to want to know something.

"Young master, can you do this?" There was a voice of an adult man in the room, saying something hesitantly.
