After walking out of Lin's house and confirming that no one was following, Lu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yue, what's going on? Why did you suddenly ask that question out of nowhere? Also, I saw that you were in a state of disbelief when you entered the house.
The lamb looked like he had seen a ghost, what happened?"
Xiaozhu sighed softly. She raised her hand and pointed to the old house covered with green bamboos not far away. She said softly: "Let's go to the house and discuss it in detail."
Lu Ling suppressed all the doubts for the time being and followed Xiaozhu towards the dilapidated courtyard. Xiaozhu raised his hands and gently pushed open the fence door. A burst of dust fell. It was obvious that no one had touched it for several years. Xiaozhu stepped on
When I was admitted to the hospital, I saw bamboo shadows whirling, and a broken lantern hung on a green bamboo. The paper had long been reduced to nothing in the wind and sun for several years, and only the bamboo frame was still standing.
You can barely tell that it looks like a rabbit lantern.
Xiaozhu picked the lantern from the bamboo branch, put it in the palm of her hand, and rubbed it gently. Then, she slowly approached the door of the main room and gently pushed the door open. The setting sun shone through the door, reflecting the things in the room: bookshelves.
There were rows of ancient books on the floor, and rubber balls and bamboo dragonflies were scattered on the ground. They were all covered with dust and looked old.
"This used to be the home of Master and I," Xiaozhu turned around, looked at his four friends, and whispered, "Master said that when he picked me up in the bamboo forest in the mountains, I was only a few days old. He couldn't bear to see me.
I was abandoned in the wilderness, so he decided to raise me. However, he didn't know how to raise a child, so he had to pretend to be a failed scholar and moved to Pingcheng. He wrote letters for a living on weekdays and asked neighbors about how to raise babies. Around him
My neighbors are very kind and enthusiastic, and my aunt often takes care of me.”
Hearing this, Lu Ling crossed his arms and nodded: "I see. No wonder you just shouted 'Mother Liu' half way through and then held it back. It turns out you know Lin Baize's mother."
"Yes, Aunt Liu treated me very well. I even drank her milk back then," Xiaozhu smiled slightly, but the smile disappeared in an instant. She lowered her eyes again and said slowly, "But when I was six years old,
, we met Bai Ze and left Pingcheng since then."
"Baize? Isn't that a mythical beast?" Lu Ling frowned and thought, "So, Lin Baize is also named 'Baize'. Is there any connection between them?"
Xiaozhu nodded and recounted the old events: "Speaking of it, it was more than ten years ago. I was still young at that time, so many things in Pingcheng were already forgotten.
It’s vague and I don’t remember it clearly. But the incident about Bai Ze will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. I remember it was one winter day, during the Lantern Festival. My master and I went to the street to look at the lanterns, and we met Grandma Liu. She said
Come to think of it, Grandma Liu is a hard-luck person. She lost her husband in her early years and worked hard to raise her son until he was seven years old. However, she encountered a monster during a family visit, and brother Gangzi was eaten by a vulture. From then on, Grandma Liu
Grandma never smiled again..."
Speaking of this, she sighed sadly, and then continued: "But on that New Year's Eve, Aunt Liu seemed very happy. It turned out that she picked up an injured lamb in the mountains, and she said she was very attached to the lamb. When she saw it, she was very happy.
He was so happy that he took it for treatment. But the master could see at a glance that the lamb was not an ordinary animal, but the mythical beast Bai Ze...
"Seeing that Bai Ze was injured, the master took him home and treated him. Brother Bai Ze is a kind, gentle, affectionate and righteous person. At that time, he went down the mountain to eliminate demons under the orders of the master. During the battle with the Gu carving
After the battle, he killed the monster and was seriously injured himself. He was knocked back to his original shape and met the kind-hearted Aunt Liu. Seeing that she was alone, he decided to stay with her in Pingcheng to repay Aunt Liu for saving her life.
Well. But what no one expected was that Brother Bai Ze had been poisoned by the Gu Diao at that time. One night a few days later, he had an attack of poison and turned into a huge monster, and almost injured Grandma Liu.
Grandma and the surrounding neighbors...
"When the master saw this, he cast a spell to fight him. But Brother Bai Ze had extraordinary spiritual power, and the evil poison made him go crazy. Even the master couldn't deal with it, and he also showed his original panda form. Fortunately, Bai Ze
Brother Ze defeated his inner demons and did not go on a killing spree. He felt so guilty that he finally left Pingcheng. But because my master revealed his true form, he was regarded as a monster by the neighbors, so he had to leave the small town with me."
As she spoke, the scene at that time reappeared in Xiaozhu's eyes. Her anxious uncles and aunts, who had always been amiable, showed angry looks. Some of them waved their heads, some picked up spatulas, and some picked up stone vegetables.
She smashed the leaves and cursed loudly: "Monster! Get out!" She also remembered the master's helpless pulling of the corners of his lips, outlining a bitter arc. He picked her up and took her away from the small home where she had lived for six years.
Stepping into the vast falling snow, he told her softly that he would take her to a place where there are no people and no monsters...
When Xiaozhu fell into memories of the past, Lu Ling clapped his hands and said suddenly: "So there is still this past, no wonder you were stupid when you saw that little lamb... Wait, that's not right. According to what you said, that Bai Ze
He almost killed the old grandma. Then the old man knew it was a monster, so why would he raise another lamb? Isn't that annoying!"
Bi Fei also nodded and said: "Junior sister Lu is right. According to this cause and effect description, it seems to be unreasonable. Moreover, I have known Brother Lin for many years, and he accidentally revealed once that he was an orphan, but fortunately his mother adopted him.
Treat him like your own son. So it seems that Aunt Liu adopted him and named him 'Baize'."
"Yeah, that doesn't make sense," Lu Ling said, stroking his chin. "Now that we know Bai Ze's true identity and almost became a murderer, why is the old lady still thinking about the monster so much?"
After listening to their questions, Xiaozhu slowly shook his head and said softly: "This is exactly what I don't understand. And I don't know why Brother Bai Ze suddenly had a demonic attack and went crazy.
All I know is that when I went out and saw him, he had turned into a huge and terrifying beast, and there was a big bloody hole at the door of his heart."
Lu Ling slapped his thigh and said in shock: "Is it Bai Ze who is responsible for the monsters in the city this time? Maybe he has the monster poison again, or something is wrong, and he decides to come back to take revenge on Liu
Nanny and the citizens of Pingcheng!”
"No, it won't be," Xiaozhu immediately shook his head in denial, "Brother Bai Ze is kind-hearted and knows how to repay kindness. He will not do such indiscriminate things."
Lu Ling glanced at her sideways and retorted: "That's not necessarily true. Back then, Bai Ze was thinking about repaying his kindness, but in the end he almost killed all the innocent townspeople. Who knows how his poison works?
Wouldn't it be like having epilepsy for a while? If he was really crazy, how could he make any sense?"
Her words made Xiaozhu's heart sink immediately. For a moment, she couldn't think of any words to refute: Lu Ling's words were rough and unreasonable, and it was really hard to guess based on common sense that Bai Ze was so poisonous.
My brother turned into a demon, which is a tragic example.
Seeing the sad look on Xiaozhu's face, Guihai Mingbing's eyes dimmed and he said coldly: "Whether Baize is causing trouble or not, we will find out tonight."
"That's right," Bi Fei said. He looked at Xiaozhu and offered words of comfort, "Miss Yue, don't think too much, maybe it's just a coincidence. What strange things happened in this town will only wait for us to investigate at night.
It will definitely come to light.”
Having said this, Bi Fei smiled softly and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, don't you feel hungry? People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for one meal, you will feel hungry. But my stomach is empty. It's not as good as us
Let’s find a restaurant and eat while we wait until nightfall?”
At Bi Fei's suggestion, everyone walked out of the old courtyard and went to the restaurant to look for food. When Haishi arrived, they met up with Lin Baize to catch and eliminate monsters.
