The woman was still a little restless, her fear not coming from them, but from the news she had to say, she was afraid to say it.

Yue Lao has always been unfathomable, and at this time, he also put on the appearance of a master, looked at the woman with his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed: "If you don't say it, wouldn't the devil be more arrogant, the old Tao is to perceive that there are demons in this side of the world, so he came to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

The corners of Bai Yuxi's mouth twitched immediately, and Grandpa Yue performed, he really looked like a Taoist priest, with a fairy wind and bones, and he had his own superior demeanor in his actions.

When the woman heard him say this, she was indeed relieved and said, "Dao Chief, you have a way to deal with that devil." ”

Yue Lao continued: "The strength of the demon is not strong, otherwise you can live here, there are demons in troubled times, now is the time for the old way to get rid of the demon, you should tell all the news related to the demon, don't be afraid, there is the old way here, the demon can't hurt you." ”

The woman looked at Bai Yuxi, who had an extraordinary temperament, and then at Yue Lao, who was advanced in Taoism (especially good at dressing), she nodded and sat down, and began to narrate: "The little girl Zheng Xiu originally lived in Fucheng with her parents, but everything happened too fast, and my parents sent me to the countryside, that is, here, but they died. ”

Her words were indistinct, and they didn't rush them, and when she restrained herself from crying, she would continue.

After a pause, I heard Zheng Xiu continue: "At the beginning, because of the flood, some people in the city began to prepare things for the winter, but it didn't take long to find that there were many victims on the street, and our city was not affected by the flood.

My family is a big family in Fucheng, my parents are kind-hearted, and they can't bear to see those people suffering, so they also set up porridge sheds and give porridge and grain, but after a long time, the food is also a little insufficient, so I had to stop the soup kitchen, but I didn't expect that something big happened to this stop. ”

Bai Yuxi was puzzled: "Will there be an accident if you stop the soup kitchen?"

"Yes, who would have thought that at that time, the soup soup was made by several families in Fucheng, so this stop was also stopped together, and when we stopped, we also made it clear to those people who fled. Zheng Xiu said and wiped away her tears again.

"Actually, we also thought about it, everyone stopped, it is estimated that those people are not happy, but unfortunately every family has a big family of people to support, so we can only stop giving porridge, we really can't blame us. ”

Bai Yuxi could see the uneasiness in Zheng Xiu's heart, she felt guilty, felt that her conscience was condemned, and thought that their family would kill many people if they stopped giving porridge, so she was even more afraid of saying what happened next.

Yue Lao comforted: "Don't blame yourself, there is nothing wrong with this practice, life is in the world, you have a clear conscience, your family is right to give porridge, it's not wrong to stop, they should be grateful." ”

As for the appearance of Chong Yuelao, a high-ranking person, saying a few words affirming her approval of her can make her suppress the fear in her heart.

Zheng Xiu nodded gratefully at Yue Lao, and said again: "After stopping the soup kitchen, those people were very panicked at first, and some came to make trouble, but in the end, nothing major happened, until later, there were fewer and fewer people on our streets, and there were fewer and fewer beggars, and I thought they all left the city." ”

"After that, there was a plague, something very terrible!" Zheng Xiu said, and there was panic in her eyes again, and she was about to get to the most critical place.

Bai Yuxi opened his mouth and said, "How did Fucheng discover the plague?"

"It was found out from my father's business friend, who was also a soup kitchener. Zheng Xiu covered her mouth, trying not to cry so loudly.

Bai Yuxi felt that her last sentence had a deep meaning.

At this time, the night wind was a little strong, the snow had stopped, and it was pitch black outside the window, Zheng Xiu looked out of the window from time to time, as if something outside the window was waiting for an opportunity to move, making her body shrink back.

"Later?" Bai Yuxi asked.

"Later, all the people in his house were sick with the plague, and no doctor could cure me, and more and more people in the city were infected with the plague, and the first to get sick was the family of the soup kitchener, and my parents were also sick, and they sent me here in order to let me escape. ”

"Then the demons you are talking about?" Bai Yuxi asked, without mentioning the so-called devils from beginning to end.

Zheng Xiu continued: "My parents are sick, how can I live here with peace of mind, and I secretly went back, but this time I saw a desolate street, I finally got home, and found that my parents were so sick that they couldn't walk, and the people in the house were also sick, and no one took care of them, I wanted to stay by their side to take care of them, but they pushed me out, just to let me go." ”

"I don't understand, what are they afraid of, they insist on not leaving, my father told me about the devil, just a few days after I lived here, that devil infected most of the people in the city with the plague, he would sneak into other people's houses in the dead of night, and then walk to your bedside and cut your skin with sharp nails, he was also very scary, and his strength was so great that people shuddered at the thought of it. Zheng Xiu began to look at the window again, always feeling that there was a humanoid monster standing outside.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, there is no demonic energy inside and outside this house, and the girl's fear is all imagined. Yue Lao pretended to come to a sentence.

Zheng Xiu nodded to Yue Lao again with reassurance.

"I haven't seen the devil before, I heard it from my parents, who died not long after, and it was my old mother who had been taking care of me who brought me back here. Zheng Xiu took a breath and said.

"Then everyone around knows about this?" Bai Yuxi asked.

"Some of them have seen that devil, and many of them say that if you live in the city, you will be targeted by him, and then you will get the plague, and they all say that he is a plague, and he came out of the people who have been affected by the flood. Zheng Xiu once again revealed new information.

"Why?"

"I ...... I think it's because we stopped giving soup kitchens, and then someone holds a grudge, otherwise why does that plague always make the soup kitchener's house sick first?!" she wrung the handkerchief in her hand and said uneasy.

"So, because of these words, the people of Fucheng are gone, whether they are sick or not, they have all left Fucheng, so do you know where they went?" Bai Yuxi asked an important question.

Zheng Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know, although I came here, I still got sick, and the devil still refused to let me go." ”

Bai Yuxi wanted to speak and stopped, she was an atheist, how could she make them believe that the devil was fake, whether someone was making trouble, or whether it was more important to solve the actual problem.
