The clouds on the temples are raised high, and the steps are swaying.
In the brass mirror, the beauty has exquisite makeup and is shy and timid.
It's a pity that when he opened his mouth, his voice sounded like a drake that ruined the artistic conception.
"Mom, my hair is so heavy that it hurts my neck."
"Snapped."
The woman slapped her "daughter"'s dog's paw restlessly towards the servant girl, and scolded her angrily.
"Be honest, if we fall apart, I won't have the time to win over another one."
"Daughter" pouted and did not murmur.
outside the door.
"Mom, brother."
The little stutterer burst in like a storm.
"Fang Zheng is leading us, leading us to arrest him. The arrest is coming soon."
"As I said, you can't call me 'Brother' on this day, you have to call me 'Sister'."
The woman first gave her youngest son a lesson, and then complained: "What happened today? Why can't these bitches keep going?"
After that, he left his hopeless "daughter" behind and went out to welcome her.
Arrived in front of the door.
Fang Zheng and his yamen servant have been waiting for a long time.
The woman quickly forced a smile.
"Hey, what brings you to the door?"
"Stop pretending."
But Fang Zheng, the boss, was impatient and held up a few yellow talismans.
"We have good luck in our house. There has been a lot of unrest in the city recently. Qingping, a kind-hearted person, specially gave us talismans to ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune, and distributed them to each family."
"Hey, Huang Fu."
The woman chuckled but was not busy taking the talisman.
"What's wrong with this clear sky? Let's talk about it first, the lintel of my house is fair and square..."
Halfway through the conversation.
"Cut the nonsense."
Then he was interrupted by Fangzheng.
"You are really kind-hearted and don't need money, so I will take the next step. I have to go to the next one."
Without any explanation, he put the talisman into the woman's hand.
Warning before leaving.
"Remember, this is for women. Just stick it on the door at night."
…………
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Somewhere in the shop.
"Do those spells really work?"
Bo Ziyu was a little restless.
"To ward off evil or force it, a warning is more than enough."
Taoist Feng who answered looked even more depressed than before.
There are dozens of households in this workshop, each with at least one or two pieces or as many as ten. Calculated, the number of yellow talismans required is quite a lot. Feng Chong took out all the inventory and it was not enough, so he had to rush to make another batch.
.He was already seriously injured and had yet to recover. Such a high-intensity mobilization of mana almost caused a recurrence of the injury.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Previously, the Hou family's concubine's question about her dream aroused the suspicion of several people.
After some further investigation.
I found that in this neighborhood, most women of the right age have had dreams of "red Luan entering their bellies".
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Especially at this juncture when the demon epidemic spreads poison, the three of them had to pay attention.
However, the victims were all over the house, and the way they were harmed was also very obscure (harmonious), making it difficult to trace the monster's whereabouts, and even to determine whether the monster really existed.
In addition, manpower is limited.
The three of them came up with a stupid idea, which was to distribute yellow talismans to each house. If they were attacked by monsters, the yellow talisman could send a warning to the three people guarding the house.
It was inevitable that people in the village did not pay much attention to Huang Fu, so they pulled the tiger skin off Qingping Zhenren.
"Is it too rude to use a real person's name in such a way?"
After all the talismans were distributed, Feng Chong hesitated.
Li Changan smiled "hehe" and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter."
"If there really are monsters, it would be a good thing for us to do this. Real people are upright and upright, so I don't think they would care."
The Taoist priest shamelessly dismissed the topic, then called for Feng Chong and Bo Ziyu to come around and pointed at a simple map of the workshop.
"Let's stay in this square for two nights first. I'll be at the head of the square and the two of you at the end. Although the monster has never killed anyone, but just in case, if you get a warning, please respond quickly and don't do anything.
Delay. What do you two think?"
Bo Ziyu has no objection.
Daoren Feng showed hesitation.
"According to the previous theory of 'human beings turning into monsters', this monster might have been an innocent civilian before, and it didn't kill anyone. If they were to fight against each other, should their approach to the enemy be gentler?"
When Feng Chong first came out of the mountain, he was still naive. Before he ran into the monster, he felt compassion. Unfortunately, the two people opposite him were not kind-hearted people.
One is a wanderer in the world, and the other is old in the market.
Look at each other.
Give a tactful and cold answer.
"Take care of people first, then catch monsters."
…………
"At midnight, keep the doors locked to prevent fire and theft."
The woman opened the door.
The wine shop was quiet.
The night fog was heavy and filled the air, making the sound of the watch more distant.
She held the oil lamp and went to the shrine.
As soon as I entered, I saw my eldest son sleeping soundly on the futon.
"This is a loser. He can't keep up even if he keeps watch all night."
Although she complained, she looked at her son's aggrieved face in his sleep and finally could not bear to wake him up. Instead, she covered him with the quilt she brought.
Then, he quietly closed the door and left.
Return to the courtyard.
The fog is getting thinner and the moonlight is getting brighter.
Suddenly.
In the corner of the wall, something seemed to be moving in the reflection.
Her heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly turned his head to look.
Phew~
It turned out to be muddy beach.
"This damn weather, it's foggy all night long, making people feel frizzy."
She cursed a few words and was about to go back to the house.
By some strange coincidence, I looked back at the puddle of mud and felt inexplicably uncomfortable in my heart.
She was originally a capable person who never paid attention to the rumors in the streets and scorned the yellow charms sent to her during the day, but now...
"I didn't ask for any money anyway."
She muttered, went back to the house, took out the talisman paper, and stuck it on the door beam.
Then, he quickly closed the door.
After a while.
Snoring gradually sounded in the room.
Under the cold moonlight.
The pool of mud where the woman had looked back over and over suddenly started churning, and some red mud rolled out of the mud and gathered together, like living creatures, squirming (harmony) towards the door of the woman's room.
Just arrived at the door.
The yellow talisman on the door beam curled up slightly like a leaf about to burst into flames.
Hongni's movements were sudden.
He seemed to hesitate for a while.
change direction.
Go to the shrine without the protection of the talisman and to the location of another "woman" in the family.
…………
The little stuttering brother had a strange dream.
He dreamed that the crooked uncle Dionysus stuffed a ball of red light into his belly, and then his belly grew as big as that of a pregnant woman.
The children around him laughed at him, saying that he was a freak and wanted to give birth to a freak.
He was very aggrieved.
This is not what he thought, I forced him to do this!
He cried loudly before running home...
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The sound of a dog barking woke him up from his dream.
As soon as I woke up, I felt something was wrong.
It's cool and sticky down there.
Fortunately, the lights in the shrine were kept on, so he looked over with sleepy eyes.
But just one glance.
The sleepiness flew away from the sky.
But before he knew it, his legs were spread open, almost forming an inverted W (harmony) shape. A small red figure lay between his hips, with his hands on his thighs without any hair.
His face faced his "elephant", revealing an indescribable confusion.
then.
The little red man seemed to notice his sobriety and raised his head.
The two sides immediately stared at each other.
One is frightened, the other confused.
Before he could scream, the little man suddenly plunged into his body like he was diving into the water.
"Ah! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
time.
Heart-rending screams pierced the night sky.
It really makes the listener sad and the listener sheds tears.
The nearby houses were like boiling water, and there were shouts of shouting, cursing, roosters crowing, dogs barking, and children crying all at once.
The woman was awakened by the noise and realized that the screams came from the shrine and her eldest son. She hurriedly picked up the stick and rushed out of the room in panic.
He rushed into the shrine in a hurry.
But it was as if he had been struck by thunder, standing stunned on the spot.
The eldest son was seen crying, struggling, and rolling on the ground. Between his buttocks, the red baby-like monster had already squeezed half of his body. Fortunately, during the day, the big dog had one of the monster's legs in its mouth.
Legs, pull them out as hard as you can.
"Mom, save me!"
The woman woke up from a dream and hurriedly picked up the stick and stepped forward.
But this time.
But the monster took the initiative to pull it out, grabbed a ball of red mud in his hand and threw it on the big dog's head. The dog let out a "whimper", let go of its mouth, and fell to the ground.
The monster took the opportunity to roll to the corner and disappeared.
Later.
The door was knocked open.
Li Changan and the other three hurriedly burst into the door.
"What happened?"
The woman trembled and grabbed Feng Chong.
"Monster, monster, monster!"
…
It took the boss's efforts to get the woman to let go of her hand, and then let the crying boy finish telling what happened.
The three of them left behind a pair of plasters and hurried to trace the traces of the demon, leaving the mother and son holding each other's hands and crying.
"mother."
This kid has cried all over his face.
"How about you stop pretending to be a wine concubine?"
"Okay, okay, mom, I listen to you and I won't pretend anymore."
"Then, would it be good for our family to have a dog?"
The woman was accustomed to refuse, but remembering the desperate rescue of the big white dog just now, her heart softened.
"Mom, listen to you."
"Very good!"
The boy's face was filled with joy for a moment.
"Xiaobai, you can finally live in our house."
"Woof."
"And Xiao Hei, Xiao Huang, Hua'er..."
The woman's face gradually turned black.
…………
Putting aside the issue of a mother and her son raising a dog.
Li Changan and the other three followed the traces left by the monster, and finally arrived at a house.
Unexpectedly.
It was actually the Hou family that I had just visited during the day.
"How? Are there any monsters in my house?"
The waiter asked very rudely.
This is not surprising either.
Anyone was woken up in the middle of the night and told that a demon had sneaked into the house, and that they would be searched inside and out, and everyone must be identified.
No one has anything nice to say.
But fortunately, the three of them had special identities and had met each other during the day. Coupled with the recent rumors in the city, Hou Yuanwai did not kick the three of them out. Instead, he pinched his nose and agreed.
only.
Li Changan sacrificed the Chonglong Jade, and Feng Chong held up the compass and searched the inside and outside of the mansion, but the monster was not found at all.
Now, the other party has even less reason to be patient.
"It's strange." Feng Chong scratched his head anxiously, "The monster has clearly entered this house, and there is still evil spirit in the house, and there is no sign of leaving. How come it can't be found?!"
Bo Ziyu was a little unwilling and wanted to go up and argue with the Hou Yuan.
But the Taoist priest quickly stopped him.
"It was us who were reckless and disturbed your house."
"It doesn't matter."
Even though the member was disgusted, he didn't fall out.
"The three of you also have the heart of fist."
It was over, maybe because they were worried that the three of them would cause trouble again, but they took the initiative to send them out the door.
But we just arrived at the door.
I was about to wave my sleeves in farewell.
Li Changan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Layers, keep silent."
The Hou Yuan met the Taoist priest's bright eyes in surprise.
