The night was getting darker, and the joy and laughter at the temple fair were gradually left behind. Xiaozhu walked quickly and soon caught up with Bi Fei. He saw this young magician with inconvenient legs and feet stopping at the corner and picking up something from the ground.
A torn piece of indigo-dyed floral cloth.
"That aunt is wearing this color. I remember that the swaddling clothes for the doll in her hand also have this pattern."
Although they only met once, Xiaozhu took a few more glances at the baby in order to vindicate her master, so she was deeply impressed by the fabric. She could tell at a glance that the indigo-dyed floral cloth was exactly what was on the baby's swaddling clothes. Hear
Bi Fei was slightly surprised by her words and asked softly: "Miss Yue, why are you here too?"
"Why, are you the only four demon-slaying sects who can eliminate rape and help others?" Xiaozhu glanced at him sideways and asked.
Hearing the hostility in her words, Bi Fei sighed softly and said: "I know Miss Yue is quite prejudiced against us, but offending the Immortal Lord is not what I want, and I have no choice but to do it."
At this point, he didn't make any more excuses. He just took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and sandwiched it between the two fingers of his left hand together with the indigo-dyed floral cloth. With his right hand, he took out the Danzhu stylus from his waist and scratched his own
Blood suddenly flowed down from the palm of his hand, dripping on the charm and rag. Just listen to him calmly chanting:
"The mayfly is born, the mayfly is destroyed, it comes out of the graceful world, and enters the underworld..."
The handsome face was now calm and solemn. Bi Fei flipped his wrist, and the stylus moved from bottom to top, cutting through the void like a sharp sword:
"lead!"
With his voice of surprise, the talisman spontaneously ignited without igniting, and the red flame instantly engulfed the talisman paper and cloth, like a red butterfly, staying at the end of the stylus, gently flapping its butterfly wings. In this dark night,
The red butterfly carried the sparks and embers, took off on the wind, and flew straight to the south.
"The art of soul guidance?" Xiaozhu was surprised this time, "But the ancient books say that this is a technique that consumes the practitioner's energy and blood to find the soul and guide it. Is it an evil method banned by the righteous sects?"
"Human life is at stake, no matter whether it is good or evil, a good method can be put to use." Bi Fei winked at her, smiled slyly, and said, "Besides, I'm not afraid of Miss Yue, you will go to Chiyun Tower to teach the teacher."
You will report me, right?"
Xiaozhu did not expect this sentence. Whether it was the encounter in Qingchuan Mountain a few days ago or the narrow road meeting in Baihe Town just now, the chief disciple of Chiyun Tower showed a calm and upright side. But now.
Listening to his words, it seems that Bifei is somewhat different from Mu Zizhen of Tianxuan Sect and Lu Ling of Dusin Valley, the group of "just men" who clamored to "kill demons and eliminate demons", and is not so stubborn.
The hostility subsided slightly. Xiaozhu and Bi Fei pursued each other without saying a word, only to see the red butterfly flying lightly in the night, flying straight to a dirt road outside the town. Under the bright moon, a hunchbacked middle-aged man
The man was holding a child in his arms and was rushing out. He didn't know that behind him, a spark butterfly circled leisurely three times and then disappeared into the night sky.
"Could he be an accomplice of that banshee?" Bi Fei thought for a moment, then used the spell and then the "Snow and Frost" spell.
I saw frost and snow falling from the sky. The frost quickly condensed on the ground and spread rapidly towards the man's feet. The man's feet slipped and he stumbled to the ground with an "ouch". The doll in his hand fell heavily.
Got out.
Seeing that the baby was about to be smashed to the ground, Xiao Zhuqing said "Chi Feng", and suddenly a whirlwind rose up between the sky and the earth, holding up the baby and stopping it in mid-air. Xiao Zhu made another gesture, turned his right palm,
The whirlwind was like the softest quilt, wrapping the child and gently sending him into Xiaozhu's arms.
It took the man a long time to get up. He turned around and saw this scene. He was so frightened that his two limbs trembled. He pointed at her and exclaimed: "Monster...monster!"
Seeing that his face turned blue with fright, and his legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand, how could he look anything like the cunning and cruel appearance of the witch? Xiaozhu was even more confused, but now was not a good time to question, so she hurriedly lowered her head and looked at Huai
The baby was swaddled in blue-dyed calico, with white and tender skin and a tiger-like head. She was sleeping very soundly. Only then did she feel relieved, raised her eyes to look at the man, and asked in a low voice: "
Why did you take the baby?"
"I didn't, I absolutely didn't," the man hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it with trembling hands, "Monster... No, my hero, please forgive me, my hero, please forgive me! I bought it with money.
This kid, I have written evidence to prove it, and I am a serious businessman."
Bi Fei stepped forward to take the receipt and unfolded it. It was indeed written in black and white, stating that the baby was purchased for two hundred yuan. There was also a handprint at the bottom. At this situation, the two of them did not expect that Xiaozhu and
Bifei looked at each other, and the latter raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted in a deep voice: "Nonsense, how can any parent sell their child for two hundred coins? Could you have forged this document?"
"Master Ming Jian, I definitely don't have it!" The man knelt down on the ground with a thud and kept kowtowing to the two of them, "I am definitely not robbing children, but an honest business with a clearly marked price. Besides, two hundred coins is a lot of money.
, enough to buy a pig leg..."
The last sentence was whispered by the man. When Xiaozhu heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad: Not to mention selling her son for two hundred cents, her parents didn't get a cent back then, so didn't they also abandon her in the bamboo forest? But just like
Master often said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. If this were not the case, she would not have met Master Mo Bai...
"You're still arguing. The aunt clearly said that you took away her child. Do you dare to confront her?"
"Confrontation is a confrontation." After hearing Bifei's words, the hunchbacked man nodded hurriedly, and then said with a slumped face, "Okay, now I understand, that woman must have gone back on her word and tricked the two heroes.
Asking for a child... You two heroes, please don’t be deceived by that woman! I have the written documents in my hands, signed by the woman herself. Just compare them and you will know that I am not telling any lies!"
Seeing his vow, Bi Fei looked at Xiaozhu and said, "I think what this trafficker said is true."
"But I don't think that aunt is cheating," Xiaozhu said, "I had previously said that her child was not good, and she was so angry that she immediately yelled. She obviously dotes on this child very much. How could she turn around in just half a day?
Why did you sell the child so easily in just an hour? Also, what I think is the strangest thing is that since the rumors of monsters in Baihe Town snatching children have reached the ears of your four sects, I want you Chiyun Tower
He Shifangdian led the crowd to look for it, so this incident should have caused a storm in the city. But just now in the temple fair, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and there was no sign of panic at all?"
"You are saying that someone deliberately spread false news to the four sects, making us mistakenly believe that the baby was abducted by monsters and leading us to Baihe Town?" Bi Fei pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is quite suspicious.
. No matter what, let’s return the baby to the aunt first, let them confront each other, and then make a decision.”
After that, Xiaozhu hugged the baby, while Bi Fei grabbed the trafficker, and the two hurried back to the town.
It was almost Haishi, the temple fair had long ended, all the lanterns had been extinguished, and all the street stalls had been closed, leaving only dark and silent streets. But the aunt who had lost her child was still crying endlessly.
She sat slumped on the bluestone, ignoring the cold night dew and crying. It wasn't until the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard not far away that she raised her head that had been drooping. This look made her eyes widen.
Eyes: The girl who came in the moonlight, the baby in her arms was her own baby!
"My son! My son!" The aunt immediately stood up and rushed forward, snatching the baby from Xiaozhu's arms and holding her tightly.
The child was lost and found, and the aunt burst into tears. Seeing her holding the child and rubbing it gently, Xiaozhu felt a warmth flow through his heart: In this world, there are more mothers who care about their children...
"Hey, Mr. Chen, what's going on with you? We wrote the paperwork in black and white, and you sold the baby to me for 200 yuan. Why did you suddenly regret it and find these two monsters...two heroes?
Steal the baby?" The hunchbacked man shouted loudly.
After hearing this, Aunt Chen trembled immediately. She hurriedly opened the child's swaddling clothes and then opened his bellyband. After a glare, her face changed drastically, and she suddenly stuffed the baby in her hand back into Xiaozhu's arms, hurriedly
Said: "This is not the baby I am looking for!"
"How is this possible?" Xiaozhu asked in shock. She lowered her head to look at the swaddling clothes made of blue-dyed floral cloth, then looked at the tender and tender baby, and wondered, "But I recognize the color and pattern of this swaddling clothes. It's exactly the one from before.
.And I’ve seen this doll before, and the features and facial features are the same as those I’ve seen before, so why isn’t it your doll?”
Aunt Chen stamped her feet. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a burst of charming laughter coming from the dark night:
"The doll she wants is at my place."
Accompanied by the soft voice, a long black shadow suddenly flashed under the bright moon. The snake shadow lingered and landed on the world. A young girl jumped off the snake's back. She had a enchanting figure and a charming smile on her face.
She was the witch who killed Guo Hongfei on Ding Mountain.
"Monster!" The hunchbacked man immediately weakened his legs and fell to the ground.
The girl he called a "monster" glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "The slave family has a name and a surname, not a monster. Little sister, we meet again, yo, why don't you see that cold handsome man?
Jun? A new generation has replaced the old one so quickly. This clean and handsome young man, what is your name? Do you want to accompany the slave family? "
Her voice was soft and charming, and her words were full of teasing. Bifei smiled helplessly, cupped his hands and said: "This girl, God is kind to you, please let go of that child."
It turned out that the snake that was entrenched next to the girl at this time was holding a blue-dyed calico swaddling bag in its mouth, which was exactly the same as the one in Xiaozhu's hand. As long as the snake's mouth opened, the baby would die immediately, so after all
Fei Bai was so afraid that he didn't dare to fight with Taoism, so he could only make a request.
But how could the enchantress be such an easy person? She couldn't stop laughing. She stretched out her slender fingers covered with khaodan, hooked her fingers at Bifei, and said with a smile: "Oh, why do you call me 'girl'? You're so cute, my surname is Nu."
Zhong, my maiden name is Wujia, little brother, just call me 'Wujia'. But then again, this scholar brother, what good will it do if I let him go?"
"If you want to kill or behead, please do as you wish." Bifei responded in a deep voice.
"Oh, you are really sacrificing yourself for others." Zhong Wujia chuckled softly, so much so that even his delicate figure, like a willow tree, swayed. And the transformed snake swam away and flew up with a "whoosh", just like the silk circling.
In her arms, the snake head holding the baby in its mouth was rubbed under her delicate fingers. She gently patted the blue cloth swaddling clothes and said with a sweet smile:
"But this is the only doll that I can't give you because I want to return it to this aunt."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaozhu was shocked. During the battle in Dingshan Village, she saw with her own eyes how vicious this woman was, how she penetrated Fei's skull and gouged out his eyes. This man said that he had a "heart like a snake and a scorpion"
"It's not too much of a match, but now she actually said she wanted to return the baby? This really made her unbelievable.
"Hey, sister, what's wrong, you don't believe me?" Zhong Wujia caught a glimpse of Xiaozhu's surprised look, and smiled even more, but pretended to be flattering, "Hey, this really hurts my heart. Do you know that this
Why does Auntie want the doll in my hand but not yours?"
This was also the question in Xiaozhu's mind. She turned to look at Aunt Chen, and saw that the woman was trembling with fear, but she stretched out her arms to reach for the baby under the snake's mouth, and said in a trembling voice: "My son...take me
Give my child back...give it back to me..."
"Oh, you mean this one?" Zhong Wujia picked up the swaddling clothes with the long nail of his little finger and said with a charming smile, "Look, this one with thin skin and tender flesh is really juicy. He is exactly the same as his twin sister.
It’s carved out of it.”
Hearing her words, Xiaozhu immediately understood. She lowered her eyes and looked at the baby in her arms: No wonder the two swaddling clothes were made of exactly the same cloth. No wonder the face of the child was the same as the one she had seen in front of the panda stall. It turned out that this pair actually
It's twins!
"It's just that if you have one more child, it's much more valuable," Zhong Wujia laughed up to the sky, then suddenly his face darkened, and he asked sternly, "My son, your child, isn't your daughter?"
