In the middle of the night, several cats meowed outside the window.
Su Ziji suddenly woke up and said that he was not that pretentious. They were both married couples. Although Ye Buhui was too young and did not consummate the marriage, they still slept together.
When he woke up, seeing a little movement, Ye Buhui turned over, slowly got off the couch, put on his shoes, and walked out with gentle steps.
It was still raining in the courtyard, and it was quiet and no one was there.
He looked at it for a while, then turned around to go back. The furry little fox came out of the darkness, with strange green eyes that looked a little green in the rainy night. He was looking at him unblinkingly, as if he was examining him.
"Go to sleep." After whispering to the little fox, Su Ziji went back to the bedroom and lay down again.
I slept straight into the morning.
Because the rain had been pouring down and the sun hadn't been seen for a long time, Su Ziji was used to the slightly dim environment outside when he woke up.
But it was getting late. He got up again, put on his shoes, changed his clothes, and was about to go out. Ye Buhui also woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and asked, "It's so early, why are you eating breakfast outside?"
"Yes, you can just eat by yourself after you get up. I may come back later today." After saying that, Su Ziji went out.
After Su Ziji walked out, Ye Buhui changed his confused look and raised his face in deep thought, showing a hint of worry.
She is Su Ziji's pillow, and she is extremely smart. How could she not feel that Su Ziji is planning something big recently?
But since Su Ziji didn't plan to tell her, it must be because she couldn't help much. In this case, she had to pretend to be stupid and arrange things at home so that Su Ziji would come back and not worry about trivial things again.
Annoyed.
It is said that regret teaches husbands and sons-in-law to find a title. When a man has skills, he becomes a little different, but Ye Buhui feels that Su Ziji must be different.
"...chirp!" The girl in front of him was sitting up in a lazy posture, and the little fox stretched out his paws.
"Ah, no, you are not allowed to sleep on the bed." Ye Buhui saw it stretching out its paws and shook his head: "Even if the paws are clean, you can't."
The only bad thing about this little fox is that it always wants to sleep on the bed secretly. Ye Buhui pushed its fox head hard and drove it away: "Go to your fox den."
The little fox tilted its head slightly in protest.
Ye Buhui grabbed the little fox's little head and stood up to sit on the bed: "Your fox's den is already covered with several layers, and you still want to touch the bed. I'm disgusted."
As she spoke, she hugged the little fox, threw it up, and nodded at it seriously: "You must not be disobedient, do you hear me?"
The little fox fell sideways onto the soft fox nest and stared sideways without blinking.
"...chirp"
In its gaze, although it had been raining and the room was relatively dark, the girl's skin was better than snow, glowing dimly white.
The little fox was a little confused. Didn't she notice the changes in herself during this period?
Not knowing what he was trying to hide, and having been guessed by Buhui a long time ago, Su Ziji left his residence, held an umbrella and walked for a while before arriving at the breakfast shop where he often made appointments with wild Taoists.
This is a small restaurant on the street. It has been opened by three generations for decades. Although it is not as good as the time-honored restaurants, many of those shops were destroyed in the war. On the contrary, this small restaurant was set up here when people fled the disaster.
Gen, the restaurant has probably been open for as many years as the Zheng Dynasty was founded.
The young third-generation boss is working with his gray-haired father, and there are a few other women who are busy. They are probably members of the same family.
Because there is no need for outsiders, the front and back yards of this small restaurant are all owned by one's own house, so the capital is small, and the food sold is of high quality and low price.
Su Ziji recently likes to drink a bowl of slightly spicy noodle soup here in the early morning, and a drawer of steamed buns. Everything is piping hot. The food and drink fills the stomach, and the body is warm. In this cold rainy season, it will feel much more comfortable.
When they arrived, the Taoist people also arrived. Su Ziji walked over and without opening a word, the noodle soup and steamed buns made by the store were brought out.
The two chatted while eating.
"You sent another code last night, but something changed in the Huang Mansion?" Su Ziji took a sip of noodle soup and felt the heat slide down his throat before asking slowly.
"Originally, Brother Hao wanted to help me find out something, but no one came to the wine bureau with people from the Huang Mansion last night. Brother Hao immediately realized that something had changed, and was afraid of being implicated, so he took people to change the place overnight.
Got the place.”
"I asked him to get some information and spent some money. He felt guilty that he had not done anything good for me, so he had someone contact me at night and asked me not to go to the Huang Mansion again."
"It is said that the Huang Mansion may be controlled by others. When I get closer, some people will look at me secretly."
"It seems that the situation is similar to what we estimated." Su Ziji seemed to have expected this for a long time and was not surprised.
"Jia Yuan, you are still being stared at."
"Yes." The wild Taoist responded, then said hesitantly: "Sir, there is one more thing."
He lowered his voice a bit: "You asked me to investigate the unusual people or places. The Beggar Clan brothers helped me. They are familiar with Shuanghua Mansion, and they really know that there are strange places in Xishan County and Baishan County.
Several rivers and lakes in the county have legends about water monsters, so no one dares to go there easily, as people and animals will disappear if they pass by."
"But recently, these places have become a little different. They haven't said exactly how they are different. I think maybe the original owners of those places have gone elsewhere."
Xishan County and Baishan County?
Su Ziji paused slightly and ordered: "There is no need to let them investigate this matter from now on. It is estimated that something will happen recently, so let them withdraw and find a place to hide first to avoid disaster."
As for what will happen, Su Ziji guessed that it might be related to flood control.
But this may involve the actions of the demon clan and the disputes between the imperial factions. A small group of local snakes like the Beggar Clan will die quietly if they get involved.
Even if there is a conspiracy, blocking one will not block the next one. As long as the monsters don't stop and it keeps raining, how long can the dams everywhere block it?
Thinking of the Taoists who followed the imperial envoy Luo Pei, Su Ziji had been puzzled for a long time: "These Taoists are really capable, why don't they do the method to stop the rain?"
Another thought: "Perhaps once the demon clan gathers, there will be a large number of them, and only a limited number of Taoists cannot compete with them."
"It is difficult for the demon clan to awaken, but once they have mastered it, they will live longer, and the spells they are good at are almost instinctive. How can humans compare?"
Originally, I thought that the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty would suppress the demon clan, and even many temples hinted that they would no longer worship them. The imperial court was also cultivating talents, so would it be a fatal blow to the demon clan.
Looking at it now, the remnant power of the water demon alone can cause such a disaster. At its peak, when the demon king is still there, how frightening and frightening would the power of the demon clan be?
It's no wonder that after the change of dynasty, the court's attitude towards the demon clan was very subtle.
"The demon clan is making trouble like this. Isn't it suppressed by factors such as God's will or sin?"
"No, the fish demon last time said that there will be a catastrophe of ten thousand demons, so it should be one of them."
