Chapter 481 Solve a problem (please ask for monthly votes for more updates)
When several villains saw this, some rose up to resist, some were at a loss, some were still cursing, and some kept begging for mercy.
At this time, the calico cat seemed to not understand what they were saying. It just stood outside the small door on the wall, with a common expression on cats. Sometimes it looked down at them, sniffed, sometimes stretched out its paws, and looked at them.
He touched his body carefully and sometimes turned his head away, pretending to look away, giving them a chance to escape to another small door.
"Miss Sanhua, stop teasing them, they are not mice." Song You still sat on the bed, looking down at the few villains, "If you answer my two questions, I will let you go back."
"Don't even think about it! Evil! You killed so many of our brothers and sisters, and we will fight you until death! Just wait!"
"Wha, what's the problem?"
"How can we trust you?"
"If you really answer, will you let us go?"
"Aren't you all delusions of transformation? Where does the life come from, and where does the killing come from?" Song You first looked at the irritable villain who spoke first, then looked away and said, "I just want to ask you...
Where did it come from and why are you here?”
"Is it one question or two?"
"..."
"Why didn't you answer? How rude!"
"two."
Song You was really helpless.
Sometimes I really don’t understand how these monsters have their brains and what they are thinking about.
Fortunately, he has always been patient.
"We, we also forgot where we came from. It seemed like we were coming from the east end, and it seemed we were coming from the west end. Anyway, after walking here in a daze, we felt comfortable staying here and didn't want to leave."
"It's pitiful that we have good intentions and want to play with the Xu family members to relieve their loneliness at night. Not only do they not appreciate it, they even hire someone to deal with us!"
"You were probably invited by them to deal with us, right?"
"You are really amazing!"
"..."
Song You was too lazy to talk to them and waved his hand: "Go back quickly, otherwise my Sanhua Empress will change her mind. Sometimes it doesn't count even if I say it."
The calico cat also took a few steps to the side and got out of the way.
Seeing this, several villains quickly ran towards the doorway.
The bold and violent one among them turned around while running, pointed at Song You and shouted: "You scoundrel, don't be arrogant, we are not as weak as you think, and we will come back again!"
The calico cat turned around and stared at him.
The villain immediately got into the doorway.
"..."
Song You retracted his gaze and looked out the window.
The calico cat also crawled over, walked to the bedside, wiped his feet with the original tattered washcloth, then jumped on the bed and asked puzzledly: "Why did you let them go? They said they would poke your eyes out.
Woolen cloth!"
"Didn't Lady Sanhua notice that they all turned into white smoke after being beaten to death?"
"right!"
"Yes."
"is fake!"
"Go to sleep."
Song You finally lay down.
It was then that the night was quiet.
As soon as I wake up, it's the next morning.
Song You opened his eyes in a daze, straightened up, and at first glance looked at several door openings on the wall.
Although these door openings were small last night, they were all vermilion riveted doors with animal heads holding rings, but now they are just a few ragged mouse holes, or even just a small crack in the wall.
The cat was lying next to the bed, sleeping facing that way.
It seemed that he had been alert most of the night.
Song You woke up Sanhua Empress and asked her to turn into a human form, then got up, dressed, washed and went out.
There were servants of the Xu family waiting outside. As soon as they saw them, they were taken to have breakfast. Everyone in the Xu family also waited here for a long time.
"Sir is here? Please sit down quickly."
"Thank you, master."
Song You thanked him and then sat down.
"How did you sleep last night, sir?"
"Are there any villains coming to disturb you?"
"There seemed to be some movement in Mr.'s room last night..."
Everyone looked at Song You, expressing concern in every word.
"I did see the villains you mentioned. They were quite noisy, rude and arrogant." Song You replied, "But I'm very capable and drove them away quickly."
"Sir, weren't you disturbed all night?"
"No, we only quarreled for a short while." After Song You answered, he looked at everyone and asked, "On weekdays, those villains make noise to you, how do you deal with it?"
"Although we were scared when we first met them, we saw that they were small and weak, so we used things to drive them away. But these villains did not listen to advice or listen at all. Even if they were driven away, they would come back. When they came back,
Then he brought more people, pointed at us, scolded us, and even came up to stab us with knives, which was quite domineering." Xu's eldest son replied, "If we get violent and hit us with sticks and fans, these villains will be beaten to death.
They will turn into ashes. But they will never stop killing you. At most in the middle of the night, or at the latest the next day, while you are sleeping, they will come to you again and stab you with a knife and a long stick. You cannot afford to provoke you at all."
"If we ignore them, they will gather a group of people to sing and dance next to our pillows until we can't sleep. If we fall asleep, they will wake us up and watch them sing and dance. But it is better than beating them to death.
The revenge in the end will always be better." The second son of the Xu family also said.
"How did you drive them away, sir? Is there a way to get rid of them once and for all?"
The old man looked at Song You.
"It's not difficult."
Song You held a bowl of shrimp porridge and said to them: "These villains are originally four-legged snakes turned into spirits..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Song You couldn't help but smile and put down the bowl.
"It's not that there are so many four-legged snakes in the house. There should be only one that became a spirit, or one big one and several small ones. The little people you see at night are just his transformation. As for the purpose, I can't say for sure.
Yes, evil spirits always have all kinds of different ideas from people, and some of them are a little crazy in the eyes of people."
From the corner of his eye, Song You caught a glimpse of his Tong'er looking towards him, and quickly gave him a look that said, "I'm not talking about you." Then he continued: "Thanks to Tong'er's superior ability, last night he found out where this four-legged snake was hiding.
If you want to get rid of it somewhere in the house, it will be very simple to dig it out during the day."
"Ah? Then where is it hiding?"
"It's hidden deep under the rockery in the courtyard."
"Are we going to dig it out?"
"This is the easiest way to get rid of the demon." Song You raised his head and looked at them, "It should have been seriously injured last night, and it should still be sleeping today."
"What happens after you dig it out?"
"It depends on how you deal with it."
"ah?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "What shall we do?"
"It's up to you to deal with it." Song You looked at them, "Don't be afraid, monsters and ghosts are not that powerful. As long as you are braver, most of them are nothing to be afraid of. And if people are weak, the monsters will bite their noses and get on their faces.
He became more and more arrogant and bullied others."
"Then...it might be possible to beat him to death?"
"Where in the world can there be a four-legged snake that cannot be killed?"
"..."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
After breakfast, the old man arranged for the eldest son of Xu to go out to post a reward list and search for brave warriors in the city. The second son of the Xu family led the servants at home to remove the rockery and dig deeper.
As soon as the rockery was removed, everyone was surprised.
Under the rockery, the soil had been flattened, but now there are many caves as thick as a bowl. You can even see them as soon as the rockery is removed. Some caves are connected to the rockery, and you can walk directly from the cave.
Enter the cave on the rockery.
But they didn't know how many villains were staring at them in the rockery when they were walking around in the courtyard and talking.
Everyone was scared.
However, the old man was in charge, and the second son of the Xu family gritted his teeth and personally led the servants and young people to dig deeper.
The further you dig, the more caves you find, extending in all directions.
There were many cave halls, like houses, with four-legged snakes lying in them. However, they were all motionless at this time, as if they were hibernating. Everyone picked them up with tongs and put them in two large baskets.
.
Then we dug down seven or eight feet deeper. During this period, we had to change people several times to dig, and we finally reached the bottom.
There is a cave hall as big as a water tank here.
There is a huge four-legged snake curled up in the cave hall, half as long as a man, with its dark scales reflecting light. There are actually very small tables, chairs and benches in the cave hall, all carved out of wood. It looks like this
The four-legged snake really seems to be living a human-like life inside.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
This huge four-legged snake did not sleep forever. After being dug out, it opened its eyes and tried to struggle to escape. However, it was weak at this time and it was daytime, so it did not have much strength at all.
Although everyone present was frightened when they saw it, they also became violent and struck it down with hoes and shovels, venting their anger for half a year, and beat it to death on the spot in two or three blows.
Then the old man gave the order to pull them out and burn them all.
Neighbors from all over Fuyao City came to watch.
At noon that day, the Xu Mansion held another banquet to thank Song You and Sanhua Empress. At this time, everyone in the family knew that they had real abilities, and their respect for them became a little stronger, and their suspicions were dispelled a lot.
He was just waiting for the eldest son Xu to invite brave warriors from outside who dared to go into the dry well at night, rescue the few incompetent juniors of his family, and then fill up the dry well.
I waited and waited until it was mid-afternoon.
Xu's eldest son is back.
However, he did not bring back any warriors, only a plainly dressed scholar. No one knew the scholar, only a few people looked familiar to him.
"Reporting to my father, my son went out to post a reward today, and quite a few bold warriors came to ask. But when they heard that he was helping our Xu Mansion eliminate demons, many people didn't dare to accept it. There were some brave ones, but I heard
Even if I have to go down a bottomless dry well at night, I don’t even dare to come.” Xu’s eldest son said to the old man from below, with a respectful attitude, as if he were treating a superior officer, “Just when the child was disappointed, nephew Qiuyue came over on his own initiative.
Find the boy and say that he is willing to go down to the dry well with his staff and bring up those useless things."
This scholar was the one who guided Song You before.
