The widow was surprised and tried to appease the scholar, but she was slapped off the kang by the scholar.
The scholar howled, covering his head with his hands. He looked at Ruyi with pain and resentment, and said: "Who...who...asked you to harm me..."
The scholar's voice was no longer clear and pleasant as before, but turned into an extremely terrifying sound.
Ruyi was so frightened that her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move.
The scholar's handsome face was pale and livid, veins popped out on his forehead, his hair was disheveled, and his fangs were bared at the corners of his mouth.
Widow Zhang watched helplessly as the man she had a physical relationship with turned into a monster that looked like a ghost. She screamed and rushed out of the door.
When she ran to the door, she remembered that the child was still in the house, so she turned back.
The scholar's hands also grew sharp nails. He covered his head with one hand and reached out to Ruyi who was frightened out of his wits.
"No!" When Widow Zhang saw that the scholar was about to hurt her child, she hurriedly ran over and got between the two of them.
The scholar strangled Widow Zhang's neck with his hands and said, "Today, you two actually harmed me. I want both of you to die here."
Ruyi stretched out her little hand and kept patting the scholar's mutated hand: "Let go! Don't bully my mother!"
The strange thing is that when she touched the scholar like this, the scholar immediately felt as if he had been burned, and even his skin and flesh made a "sizzling" sound.
The scholar wailed in pain, and then he turned into a burst of black smoke, just like what Ruyi saw for the first time.
The window was not open, and black smoke was flying in the room but could not escape.
Ruyi took a step forward and summoned the courage to shout: "Monster... monster..."
As soon as she shouted, the black smoke that the scholar turned into suddenly shrank sharply, as if making a final resistance, the black smoke gathered into a ball and rushed towards Ruyi's face.
Ruyi felt his vision went dark and fainted.
…
"Ruyi! Ruyi!" Tie Zhu patted Ruyi's face gently, but she still closed her eyes tightly.
Tie Zhu kept Ruyi's mission of catching the demon in mind and ran to Ruyi's house at dawn. However, no matter how he shouted outside the door, there was no response from inside the house, so he climbed over the fence at the risk of being scolded by Widow Zhang.
Run to the yard.
The doors of the two tiled houses were both wide open. Tie Zhu entered Ruyi's west room and found no one there, so he ran to Widow Zhang's east room.
As soon as he entered the door, Tie Zhu was frightened. Widow Zhang was lying naked on the ground. Next to Widow Zhang was Ruyi, her face was purple and her eyes were closed.
The bed and windows were covered with dog blood, and the smell of blood filled the room. Tie Zhu almost vomited.
Tie Zhu screamed twice but got no response. He panicked and knew that he, a child, couldn't cope with it, so he ran out and called an adult.
Tie Zhu ran all the way, shouting: "Something happened to the Ruyi family! Something happened to the Ruyi family!"
There were only a few dozen households in the village, and they all knew each other well. When they heard something happened, they all ran to Ruyi's house with hoes and shovels.
By the time the villagers rushed over, Widow Zhang's body was already cold.
There was a blue-black handprint on her neck. Ruyi's body was also very cold and she had no breath. Everyone felt that there was no hope of help.
Tie Zhufei didn't believe it, so he cried and asked everyone to send Ruyi to the local doctor in the village to have a look.
"Stop making such a fuss, I probably won't be able to save him," Tiezhu's father said.
"No!" Tie Zhu, who calls himself a man, has already burst into tears. "She must still be alive! You should save her! Save her!"
