Chapter 174: True Nature Exposed
The ghost hunter hid in the darkness and quietly followed, all the way to a wilderness on the edge of the city. I saw the young man along a winding path, feeling the black, turning left and right, and his steps were skillful, and it could be seen that he often walked on this road at night.
In this secluded and remote forest sits a simple and simple dwelling, with a few simple thatched houses neatly arranged together, green vines decorating the mottled mud walls, and the withered yellow straw has not been washed away for a short time. The large yard surrounded by the fence is full of flowers and plants, all kinds of flowers compete with each other, there is a leisurely feeling of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, obviously the owner of the yard is also a person with a certain knowledge.
The eyes of the hunters have long been accustomed to the darkness, and they can see especially clearly at night. The boy walked to the front of the house and stopped, not entering it for a long time, and his eyes flashed with a complicated light. After stopping for a long time, he finally let out a long breath and seemed to decide to walk in.
The young man put on the expensive clothes on his shoulders, and the whole person's momentum changed, and there was a great demeanor of a gentleman between his expressions, and if he was seen, he would definitely sigh at his superb face-changing skills like a play.
The boy swaggered into the courtyard, and the light was still on in a thatched hut in the west of the courtyard, and the boy pushed the door without knocking. This is the study, although the house is simple, but there are a lot of ancient books and paintings in the house, a one-legged middle-aged man in a cloth shirt and crutches is sitting on a stool reading at the moment. The young man glanced at the middle-aged man with a disgusted expression, put the two baskets in his hand on the table, and hurriedly turned around to leave like a snake and scorpion.
"Xiao Xie, stop, what are you doing when you come back so late?" the middle-aged man closed the book heavily, and said angrily.
"There's a lot of old stuff to talk about!, where is the master going to play?" the young man stopped and waved his hand impatiently, not even bothering to look at the middle-aged man with his eyes.
"Brute!" the middle-aged man slapped the book in his hand on the table when he heard this, causing a loud sound.
"Do you know that your mother hasn't eaten tonight? How can her sick body stand starving! You bastard dare to speak out!"
"Hungry, you won't die of hunger if you weren't for me!" the young man looked back at the middle-aged man, his eyes full of disdain, and then left on his own.
"You-" The middle-aged man was so angry that his face turned blue and he couldn't speak. The boy walked straight out of the courtyard without looking back, disappearing into the darkness.
"Xiao Xie! Xiao Xie! You were also a filial person at the beginning, why did you become a heartless beast who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix and disrespected the elders!" The middle-aged man secretly sighed when he saw the young man walking away.
"Old Xie, did the rabbit cub come back just now?" a female voice came from the thatched hut next to it, and then a woman with a rickety back came out of the thatched hut to the south.
"Why are you up, you are not in good health!Why don't you lie down and rest!" The middle-aged man hurriedly got up on crutches to help.
"With such a loud noise, even the wood should have been woken up! the beast had really given birth to him for nothing!" said the woman remorsefully.
"Eh, the family is unfortunate!" the middle-aged man shook his head, and the two of them helped each other into the study.
"Don't think about him, it's okay if you're awake, come and eat something!"
"Yes, you can eat some too!"
"I don't eat it!" I can't swallow it when I think of the fact that these things are the beast outside, and I don't know who is the father in exchange for the food!" the middle-aged man said with a sullen breath.
"Forget it, Lao Xie, now I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of that beast! You and I just eat him and drink him desperately, if he sends a day to eat, we will eat it for a day, even if he can't finish eating, we won't leave him and eat him!" The woman viciously bit the chicken in the basket as if she was biting a young man, and at the same time did not forget to hand it to the middle-aged man.
"Well, after all, it's because I'm incompetent, if I can afford to earn some inheritance, why don't I end up here, and I don't have to live on the food that the beast sends back. You followed me, I—" The middle-aged man had tears in his eyes, but the words were interrupted by the woman.
"Don't say it! I will follow you all my life until death without regrets! Even if that beast really doesn't send you home to eat anymore and starve you and me to death, I'm willing!"
"Besides, the first time I saw you, I knew that it was impossible for you to live in this extremely evil wasteland, and from then on I was ready to accompany you, a nerd, to take care of you for the rest of my life!" The middle-aged man's heart swelled with sourness.
"Willow ······"
"Believe me, I will definitely soar in the future! When the time comes, I will take back Xiaoliu and spend the moon with you, and there will be no more troubles about you and me in the world!" said the middle-aged man with tears in his eyes.
"I believe it!" the woman put down the food in her hand, leaned her head sideways on the shoulder of the middle-aged man, and her pale and frail face showed a pair of eyes revealing expectation, without a trace of doubt about her man.
The ghost hunter quietly retreated and didn't look any further, his heart was full of darkness and vendetta, and he didn't know why he was so reluctant to approach this scene with his warmth.
On the contrary, he took the boy's behavior for granted. After all, he was trying his best to hide himself in front of Xiaoyanagi before, and his true nature should be exposed at this moment. It's just that the ghost hunter can't figure out why such a ruthless and heartless rogue would be so good to Koyanagi!
On the way back, the ghost hunter has been pondering, and suddenly Koyanagi's cute and innocent appearance appeared in the hunter's mind, not to mention that he was not a few years older, even adults look at it and love it - thinking of this hunting ghost's face turned dark, and a nameless fire rose in his heart.
"That's my sister!"
If the boy just bullied the elders in the family, the ghost hunter would not ask, after all, the couple had no roots with him, and he had no reason to pay attention to them. But since the boy hit Koyanagi with his idea, it was different, and the ghost hunter did not allow anyone to hurt the person he already had in his heart.
With murderous intent, the ghost hunter quietly walked back to his room and lay down to rest. During this period, the few people who watched the house still did not notice the ghost hunter, but suddenly felt a chill down their spine and fear, but they did not know what was happening, as if there was an evil ghost passing by them in the night.
Having said that, the ghost hunter didn't know what the fat man wanted to do, and he let himself live for so many days in vain and treat everything politely. The only thing that is certain is that the fat man definitely didn't have any good intentions.
The ghost hunter didn't think too much about it, although he was still seriously injured, but he was not afraid of him, and to put it mildly, even in his current state, the ghost hunter could slaughter this mansion with one hand.
The next morning, Koyanagi still pushed open the door of the ghost hunter's room on time as usual to take care of the ghost hunter's daily life. It can be seen that Koyanagi has dark circles in both eyes due to lack of sleep, but her mood is much better than before, and her pace is brisk. The ghost hunter couldn't help but worry about this little girl, if she knew that his brother was a beast, how would she face life?
The ghost hunter originally planned to let Xiao Liu accompany him to go around the mansion after washing and eating, and he was not afraid of being stopped by the people in the mansion, after all, no one could stop him. However, just after eating breakfast, the middle-aged man came to the ghost hunting house, just in time for the ghost hunter to go out.
At this time, this fat old man was followed by several entourages, who were the monks of the Nine Heavens of the Bigu Realm in Fuzhong who had been monitoring the ghost hunters. They disguised themselves as ordinary retinues and followed them, while the ghost hunters waited and saw what happened.
"What's the matter, master?" the ghost hunter picked up the chopsticks he had put down and ate the rest of the food, not very kind to see the fat man who had ruined his plan.
"Brother Ghost Hunter, you may have been here with me for a long time, and now your injuries have just improved, you must not have been on the street yet, how about you go shopping with me today?" said the fat man with a smile.
"Naturally!" the fat man smiled even more happily when he heard this, and his eyes almost became a slit.
"It's just that I'm going to take Koyanagi with me!" the ghost hunter pointed at Koyanagi.
"Okay, good, everything is as the ghost hunter brother wants!" the fat man agreed very happily.
The group walked straight out of the mansion like this, and the road was full of ghost hunters and Xiaoliu talking, and the fat old man echoed the last two sentences from time to time, but seeing that the ghost hunters didn't take care of themselves, they walked on their own and stopped interjecting.
