Under Tao Huaying's comfort, Yin Yin quickly calmed down.

Yinyin stopped crying and looked around with tears in her eyes.

It’s very lively here, and Yin Yin likes it, but her mother never let her go to lively and crowded places in the past, because the yang energy in crowded places is too strong, and with the fragility of Yin Yin’s soul, it is impossible to I can't bear such strong yang energy.

So seeing the excitement here, Yin Yin suddenly became happy, because she could feel that the "people" here, like her, had no trace of yang in them.

The Yin Qi in the air made her feel at ease and comfortable.

"This is... a ghost market?"

Tao Huaying realized where she was.

Rumor has it that there is a ghost market in Chang'an, which is a paradise for the dead and a forbidden land for the living. It was in order to protect her daughter that Tao Huaying brought her here all the way.

Seeing that there were so many "similar people" around her, and that everyone was living as they had before, Tao Huaying suddenly smiled with relief.

She picked up Yin Yin and said softly: "Yin Yin, it's very safe here. Can we live here from now on?"

"Okay~"< br />
Yin Yin’s voice was like a silver bell. When Tao Huaying held her daughter, she felt as satisfied as if she owned the whole world.

The ghost market has its own set of survival rules. There is no currency here. Hard currency is various things that have an effect on ghosts, such as tributes from the living world and living people brought into the ghost market by other ghosts. Yang energy, essence and blood...

Every once in a while, the ghost market will be open to the public. The ghosts living in the ghost market can take the opportunity to trade with living people and make a lot of money. You don’t have to worry about being unable to maintain your soul for a long time to come.

Initially, Tao Huaying found a job in an inn in a ghost market. Although the work was hard and menial, the yang she earned was enough to maintain her daughter's soul.

At that time, she lived in a very miserable state and had not yet shown her charming side, so no one cared about her.

Living a poor but happy life, mother and daughter rarely have a peaceful life.

However, the good times did not last long, and before long, the ghost market welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

The person who came here is a spy from the underworld, an envoy responsible for seducing souls under Black and White Wuchang.

When ordinary people die, their souls will unconsciously burrow into the ground, find their own way to hell, and finally be reincarnated. Ghosts with resentments in their hearts have a chance to stay in the world of the world. At this time, they have to be sent by the underworld. Catch ghosts and escort them back to the underworld.

　Most of the ghosts in the ghost market belong to the latter.

It stands to reason that the appearance of Yinzai in the ghost market is a devastating blow to the ghost market, and all the ghosts here will be taken away by Yinzai.

But this is not the case. Due to the relationship between the owner of the ghost market and the ghost king Shi Jing, the ghost market turned a blind eye to the ghost market, which allowed the ghost market to take shape.

But the reason for the evil coming this time is because he has been neglecting his duties. As a result, there are still 300 ghosts on the list of ghosts to be captured this year.

So, Yin Chai came to the ghost market and asked Shi Jing to hand over 300 useless ghosts within three days so that Yin Chai could go back and make a report.

Of course, Shi Jing would not be in trouble with Yin, so he immediately agreed and then sent his evil spirits to conduct statistical investigations.

Those ghosts that have no strength, no background, and have no effect on the ghost market will be captured by Shi Jing and sent to Yin Chaojiao.

After hearing the news, Taohua was heartbroken because she knew very well that her daughter would definitely be on Shi Jing’s list.

She is an outsider with no strength or background. She is a character living at the bottom of the ghost market and is a natural victim.

In order to prevent her daughter from being sent away, Tao Huaying tried her best and finally turned to the owner of the inn.

The innkeeper is an old ghost, who is about the same era as Tao Huaying. It is said that he was a scholar in a certain year, worked as a minor official for several years, and finally died under the sword of the rebels. His soul He entered the ghost market by accident and worked hard for hundreds of years before opening this inn.

This old ghost has raised eleven wives in the ghost market, but most of them are not very good-looking, and some even have missing arms and legs. The ones with slightly better looks have been replaced. A powerful ghost has taken over.

Hearing that Tao Huaying wanted something from him, the old ghost suddenly had evil thoughts and asked Tao Huaying to be his concubine, so that Yin Yin would be their daughter. Although the old ghost was not strong, she was still He is also the innkeeper, so Shi Jing will give him some face.

Anyway, there are many ghosts with no background in the ghost market, so why bother to hold on to the daughter of an innkeeper?

Tao Huaying resisted in her heart and was extremely entangled, but after seeing her daughter's innocent face, she gritted her teeth and agreed, but she had one condition, that is, she must wait until her daughter is safe and sound before she can fulfill it. own commitment.

The innkeeper was so happy that he even bought a small toy for Yinyin on the spot and coaxed the little girl to call him daddy.

Ke Yinyin clearly remembers the appearance of her father. Her father is not the ugly old man who is dying in front of her at all, so YinyinNo matter what, he refused to shout out.

The innkeeper became angry and snatched back the toy given to Yinyin in anger. Yinyin didn’t understand why she had offended the innkeeper, but she didn’t say anything and went straight to her peach blossoms. Inside, tears kept falling.

Tao Huaying kept comforting her and felt extremely distressed. However, in order to prevent their daughter from being handed over, the mother and daughter had to please this shameless and wretched old ghost.

“Yin Yin, you must call him daddy.”

After returning home, Tao Huaying taught Yin Yin seriously.

Yinyin turned her back and said angrily: "He is not my dad, my dad doesn't look like this!"

"Stinky girl, why don't you Got it!" Tao Huaying was furious and used a wicker to spank Yin Yin's ass.

Yin Yin, who was usually most afraid of being spanked, took the wrong medicine today, gritting her teeth and refusing to give in, even though her eyes were filled with tears.

Suddenly, Tao Huaying stopped moving, threw away the wicker, hugged Yinyin and cried loudly.

Even if she has lived for hundreds of years, Tao Huaying still doesn’t understand why there is no place for them and her mother in this vast world.

Why must the daughter sacrifice her appearance and compromise?

"It's all mom's fault... It's all mom's fault for not being able to protect you..."

Tao Huaying hugged Yin Yin and burst into tears, but Yin Yin was beaten instead Wiping her tears, she held her mother's face and comforted her: "Mom, don't cry."

Looking at her daughter's innocent face, Tao Huaying felt extremely guilty.

Yes, my daughter just doesn’t want to call a strange old man daddy. What’s wrong with her?

…

Soon, three days passed, and the day of delivery arrived.

Tao Huaying placed Yinyin at home and went to see the innkeeper alone. The innkeeper had already prepared a red dress for Tao Huaying as a wedding dress. Tao Huaying put on the red dress and faded away these Years of vicissitudes did not reveal her true appearance until the moment she walked into the house.

The veins in the eyes are rippled, and the flowers are blooming.

Tao Huaying has a pair of fox eyes, and she is naturally very charming. However, as a mother, she has been working hard all these years, she looks very slovenly, and she always lowers her head, so no one notices her beauty. .

Now because of this red dress, she finally has a trace of a human face, and only then can she show her gorgeous appearance again.
