The ghoul shuddered in fear.
Her round eyes stared at Xie Qiao warily. "You're talking to me?!"
"It's fate that we meet. What do you wish for?" Xie Qiao looked at the ghoul and asked again. Her attitude was actually quite good.
It was also because this ghoul was sensible. Although she was wandering around, she did not deliberately scare her. She was just a little skinny. She did not look any different from an ordinary person. At the very least, it was much better than the dead spirit sitting on the roof of the carriage.
The spirit was silent for a moment. Then, her figure flashed and she actually ran away.
Xie Qiao was stunned.
She looked the most kind and gentle. Why was this starving spirit so timid?
Xie Qiao pursed her lips and snorted.
The spirit that approached her actually flew away. If the news was to spread, her master would lose his dignity.
However, she could not force the matter of sending the spirit back to reincarnation. Otherwise, she would definitely capture the ghoul and ask her why she had run away!
Xie Qiao was a little upset. However, not long after, a chilly wind blew in the surroundings.
It was already raining outside. When the chilly wind came, the raindrops seemed to have become much bigger. The grass around rustled and the leaves clapped together!
Such a huge commotion gave Xie Qiao a fright.
When she looked outside again, she was even more stunned.
She only saw that the ghoul that had escaped earlier had returned!
Not only had she returned, there were 20 to 30 ghouls following behind her. All of them were women.
Their feet did not touch the ground. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were like skeletons. The dark energy that filled the sky enveloped them. Some of the ghouls inside even made strange noises, giving one goosebumps.
Xie Qiao grabbed the handrail of the carriage, and her face turned pale.
Xie Pinggang was standing guard outside. Suddenly, he saw that the weather had turned bad, and he frowned. At that moment, he heard Master Mo say, "Stop the carriage!"
Master Mo's voice was urgent, as if something had happened.
Xie Pinggang immediately asked the team to stop.
As soon as the team stopped, the sand and rocks under their feet blew up. Many people narrowed their eyes because of the dust. A moment ago, it was drizzling, but now, as if the raindrops had turned into ice shards from the blowing of wind, the raindrops hurt their faces.
Xie Qiao got off with an umbrella in hand.
She was thin and looked very fragile.
What was even stranger was that she suddenly stopped after taking a few steps west. She stood there motionlessly, as if she was still talking about something…
Coupled with the gloomy weather, everyone could not help but feel a chill inside of them when they saw that.
Zhao Xuanjing looked at Xie Qiao's back and walked over.
"You can see us. C-Can you give us something to eat?" Those ghouls actually knelt. After saying that, they even faintly emitted a thick resentment.
Although there was resentment, they had not become vengeful spirits yet.
"Did all of you starve to death?" Xie Qiao was a little puzzled. There were too many of them.
There were 20 to 30 spirits here. Some people would leave immediately after they died and would not stay in the world at all. With so many spirits in front of them, if they were to calculate according to the ratio, how many people would really die?
They had never heard of any major disaster here.
Although there had been a disaster last year, the imperial court had intervened. The impact of this disaster was not particularly great, and there had not been such a large-scale death.
"Master, we haven't eaten for so long. Occasionally, we could only come out for a day to eat. We are really... hungry. I beg you, Master, please give us some food!"
"Master, please give us some food..."
All of them cried out.
"Where did all of you come from?" Xie Qiao asked.
Something was wrong with these ghouls.
