Li Jiu looked at the devil who was protected by the husband and wife, the little guy's tears were falling straight down, holding Lao Li's legs firmly like a dog skin plaster, his body trembled slightly, he obviously had such a powerful strength, but he looked like a bullied milk doll.

Devils are born with obscurity and evil spirits, born without joy, anger, worry, thoughts, sorrow, fear, and shock, and have no seven emotions, no six desires, and are born evil.

Devils are intolerable, they rarely appear in the world, and they will die soon if they are occasionally born, Li Jiu has lived a lot of age and is the first time he has seen a living devil in his life.

But the devil in front of him is completely different from the record he saw in the Xuanmen inheritance, the little guy obviously has the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, if it weren't for the strange eyes and the gloomy aura that is churning around his body like a substance, he looks almost no different from an ordinary three- or four-year-old milk doll.

Li Jiu did not directly answer the question of the old Li Tou and his wife, but instead expressed the doubts in his heart, "As far as I know, in order to grow up, the devil must suck the blood of living people, in order to prolong yang qi, absorb yin and obscure qi, in order to maintain yin qi, balance yin and yang, and blind the heavens to get a glimmer of life." How do you do that? ”

Lao Li Tou said vigilantly: "I don't know what you're talking about, our winter cub hasn't absorbed any obscure qi, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Jiu caught the loophole in Old Li Tou's words, "You didn't deny that he drank the blood of a living person!" ”

Grandma Sun said fiercely: "Even if the winter cub has drunk the blood of a living person, what's wrong?" We willingly give our own blood to the winter cub to heal the disease, what's your business! ”

It turned out that the winter cub would be seriously ill every year from January to July and a half, when the winter cub was sick for the first time, he was still in swaddling clothes, Lao Li Tou and his grandmother were frightened, and hurriedly sent him to the county hospital, but all the examination results showed that his internal organs were constantly failing, and the doctor had never encountered such a strange disease, so he had no way to start. At that time, Mrs. Sun looked at her baby son who was sick and dying, her heart was like a knife, and somehow she remembered that the winter cub had sucked her blood when she was born, and she carried everyone on her back and quietly fed the winter cub her own blood.

Sure enough, after the winter cub drank her blood, her condition gradually stabilized, and it quickly recovered without medicine, and the doctors and nurses in the hospital all exclaimed a miracle.

Lao Li Tou and his grandmother have been married for decades, and it is difficult for grandma to hide from him, and when the winter cub recovers and comes home, grandma will find an opportunity to talk to him and talk to him.

If Lao Li Tou was not very willing to raise winter cubs at first, but after a few months, the skinny little guy like a monster was raised by them to be white and fat, and he was no different from his own son, not to mention drinking some blood, even if he asked him to cut a piece of meat, he did not hesitate.

I don't know if it's because of the blood that has to be fed to the winter cubs for a few days from January to July and a half every year, the health of Lao Li Tou and his grandmother has been getting worse and worse in the past three years, and they are aging very quickly.

This year's winter cubs are very competitive, not only did they get sick, but because they ate a lot of chickens, ducks and sheep that Lao Li Tou and Sun Po Zishun came back, they grew a lot of meat.

It's a pity that the two elders haven't been happy for a few days, and Li Jiu came to the door.

As for the gloomy atmosphere that Li Jiu said, after Lao Li Tou and his grandmother became living corpses, they realized how unusual the old locust tree was. Winter cubs have liked to revolve around the old locust tree since they were children, and when Li Jiu said this, what else did they not understand? However, in order to protect the winter cub, the two subconsciously chose to justify and conceal it, but whether it was Lao Li Tou or Sun Pozi, they were not smart characters before and after death, and Li Jiu seized the loophole.

Li Jiudao was profound, and while he was suspicious in his heart, he had actually discovered the unusual old locust tree in the courtyard.

"It's really none of my business that you are willing to use your own blood and vitality to support the devil, but the devil grows up to be a disaster in the world, and it is the responsibility of me and other Xuanmen decencies to eradicate the demons."

Li Jiu was actually deeply moved by the love of Lao Li Tou and his grandmother, especially Lao Li Tou, who was beaten to death by someone and was deeply resentful, he raised devils for more than three years, and fed devils with blood, and his body had already been contaminated with the evil spirit of devils. After Lao Li Tou's tragic death, the resentment and obsession in his heart inspired these special gloomy and evil spirits, and finally helped him become a living corpse.

Living corpses usually have little intelligence and are driven by their pre-mortem obsessions, so the vast majority of living corpses will follow their instincts to seek revenge on their former enemies as soon as they 'wake up'. But Lao Li Tou didn't do this, after he became a living corpse, he returned to his wife and children in a daze, looking at his current situation, he had already recovered his memories before his death, but he still did not seek revenge from the people of Lijia Village.

It's not that you don't hate, it's just that hate becomes less important than love for your son.

Emotionally, the experience of Lao Li Tou's family is indeed worthy of sympathy, so Li Jiu is willing to exceeds for them, help them resolve their grievances, and send them husband and wife to repeat reincarnation. But intellectually, he can't let the devil continue to grow, even if the winter cub now looks like an ordinary child, but who can guarantee that he can always keep this pure heart? Devils who don't have seven emotions and six desires and self-consciousness can still be punished by everyone, and once the devils with seven emotions and six desires get out of control or go on the wrong path, the consequences are unimaginable.

Lao Li Tou said in a terrible voice: "My winter cub is obviously not wrong, but you are bent on killing him, you are killing innocents indiscriminately, what kind of bullshit are you?!" ”

Grandma's eyes were full of blood and tears, and she was full of resentment, "That's right, you can't kill my son!" ”

Seeing that the love between Lao Li Tou and his grandmother was about to get out of control, and the ferocious aura on his body became heavier and heavier, Li Jiu said in a deep voice: "Your body has already begun to decay, if you continue like this, at most a month, your body will completely fester, and your soul will also collapse, and when the time comes, don't talk about reincarnation, you won't even have the opportunity to become a powerful ghost and stay in the world." ”

Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi were actually vaguely aware of their fate, but they couldn't let go of the winter cubs. These days, they have been quietly discussing in private, trying to find an adopter for the winter cub.

However, the people in Lijia Village and nearby villages were convinced of the rumors spread by Zhao Chunjuan, and the people of Lijia Village even collectively beat Lao Li Tou to death for these shadowless rumors.

The living corpse is afraid of light, and in more distant places, he and his grandmother can't go at all, just find someone, and they don't understand each other's character.

Of course, in the final analysis, Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi can't let go of the winter cub at all.

Li Jiu's appearance directly shattered the last trace of luck of Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi, and completely forced them into a desperate situation.

Hearing the most unwilling to hear the result, Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi glanced at each other, and after bowing their heads slightly, Lao Li Tou ruthlessly pulled the winter cub in front of him, and said with blood and tears: "We believe that you are a good person, we can hand over the winter cub to you to raise, if one day in the future, he really goes down the evil road, and he wants to kill or kill you!" ”

Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi are not smart people, this is empty of their love for their son, in a desperate situation, the only way to think of to save the life of the winter cub is to make a desperate bet, there is no other way.

As soon as the winter cub heard that his father was going to hand him over to the terrible fat old man, he was so frightened that he turned around and hugged his father's leg firmly, and cried with a wow: "Daddy, no, daddy, winter cub, daddy, mom, winter cub, winter cub......" Don't want winter cub.

Li Jiu also married a wife and had children when he was young, but unfortunately due to various reasons, his wife and children died tragically, and when his son died, he was only three or four years old......

What innocent is the child? What a child!!

In a trance, the devil who was crying breathlessly in front of him and the son who died tragically in his early years gradually coincided.

Li Jiu's heart finally softened, and he sighed and said, "Okay, I can promise you." But if one day he goes astray, I will not tolerate it. ”

Lao Li Tou was very reluctant to touch the soft hair of the winter cub and said: "My adopted son, I know that the winter cub is a good boy and will definitely have a great future in the future." ”

Grandma Sun said sharply: "You must swear that if the winter cub didn't do anything hurtful, you must not hurt him under any excuse!" ”

Li Jiunian was a motherly heart in Sun Hong, and nodded and promised: "Yes." ”

Grandma Sun picked up the winter cub with tears in her eyes, gently patted the winter cub's back, and choked up, "I want to cook him another dinner, is it okay?" ”

"Yes." Li Jiu said, "I'll give you half a day, and I'll come back tonight." ”

Since the police came to the house a few days ago, Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi did not dare to make any more moves for fear of being caught. Without the fragrant blood, there would be no vitality to sustain the flesh, and even though they were all wearing the stone fish that the winter cubs gave them, their bodies decayed faster.

There was no electricity or refrigerator at home, and the chickens and ducks stolen back by Lao Li Tou and his grandmother couldn't be saved, so they were made fresh for the winter cubs to eat. Now there are still two eggs at home, and a little chicken fat and chicken made of meat, and there are some cabbage, tomatoes, beans and other vegetables in the vegetable field.

The winter cub didn't know whether he was frightened by Li Jiu, or he was faintly aware of something, he didn't even eat two bites of his favorite steamed egg for dinner, so he stuck to Lao Li Tou and Grandma Sun vigorously, and when it was time to sleep, he refused to sleep, so he looked at Grandma Sun and Lao Li Tou, as if they would leave themselves in the blink of an eye.

Lao Li Tou and his grandmother coaxed him for a long time before lulling him to sleep. The winter cub didn't sleep well at all, his little hands tightly grasped the corners of his grandmother's clothes, and from time to time he made a dream, calling his father for a while and calling his mother for a while, crying and chirping with a little nasal sound, and shouting Lao Li Tou and his grandmother until their eyes were moist and their hearts were like knives.

"The time has come." Not long after the winter cub fell asleep, Li Jiu and Ah Huang quietly appeared in the courtyard.

Lao Li Tou and Grandma Sun finally kissed the cold little face of the winter cub, and quietly held the stone fish that the winter cub gave them in the palm of their hands, and the husband and wife glanced at each other, and saw a trace of firmness in each other's rotten and cloudy eyes.

After making a decision, Mrs. Sun and Lao Li Tou were no longer afraid of Li Jiu, and the two of them came to the courtyard, and you and I told Li Jiu about raising children.

“…… The winter cub likes to listen to stories and draw, if you have time, you will read a little storybook to the winter cub every day, and there are two new storybooks at home, there are many words on them I don't know, so I didn't read them to the winter cub. When you take the winter cub away, remember to bring those two books, and by the way, a dictionary, just for me to leave a thought for the child. ”

“…… The winter cub has been cold since he was a child, remember to let him wear more clothes, I knitted him a few new sweaters, all of which are in the box, you remember to bring them to the winter cub, and give him clothes when it is cold. ”

“…… The winter cub is timid and afraid of thunder, and you have to accompany him when it thunders. ”

“…… The winter cub likes to eat chicken cakes, if he is not happy, buy him some chicken cakes to eat, the winter cub is very well-behaved and it is best to coax. ”

“……”

“……”

“…… This is all the savings of my wife and me, and when the winter cub is older, you will send him to study, others say that our winter cub is a fool, in fact, the winter cub is smart, and he will definitely be admitted to university in the future. ”

“…… The winter cub has been quiet since he was a child, and he doesn't like to talk much, and it's not the same as ordinary children, I've always been worried that after he goes to school, other children will bully him, you remember to spend more time, help us watch the point, don't call someone to bully him. ”

Unconsciously, the sky revealed a little fish belly white.

No matter how reluctant you are, it's time to separate.

Li Jiu had been silently listening to the chatter of Lao Li Tou and his wife, and he probably understood a little bit why the winter cub, who was a devil, had human emotions.

The grace of nurturing is as heavy as a mountain. It is a blessing for the winter cub to meet his parents who love him so much.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the winter cubs for you." Li Jiu solemnly made a promise.

Old Li Tou and Grandma Sun were grateful, but unfortunately their faces were gradually rotting and looked extremely stiff and hideous.

The explanation has been explained, and before the sun came out, Lao Li Tou and his grandmother-in-law, with Li Jiu's acquiescence, took one last look at the winter cub, returned to their bedroom, changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed. Li Jiu pasted two talismans on the two of them, and the souls of the two slowly left their rotten bodies.

Li Jiu sat on the ground and recited the mantra for them, and in the mantra over and over again, the dark resentment that lingered around the two of them gradually dissipated, and the soul body became transparent and clear again, and his eyes became dazed little by little.

In the dark, it seems that there is a voice calling, and there is a force pulling.

Soul, return, return, return......

In the next bedroom, the winter cub suddenly opened his eyes, got up with a grunt, and ran to Lao Li Tou and their bedroom barefoot.

"Daddy! Mom! ”

With a crying childish voice, it instantly recalled the sanity of Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi, the two of them paused together, turned their heads and smiled lovingly at the winter cub, and in the next second, the almost transparent soul body turned into two streamers, burrowed into the stone fish they secretly held in the palm of their hands, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The winter cub shed tears as he climbed onto the bed and pulled out the stone fish from his parents' rotten palms. The tears of the winter cub fell on the stone fish, and two small black dots slowly appeared in the fish's eyes, like the finishing touch, the stone fish that was already lifelike was like coming to life at this moment, obviously a dead thing, but exuding a strong vitality.

Mom and Dad, no.

The winter cub held the small fish, pursed his mouth, and tears fell straight down.

Li Jiu sighed, got up from the ground, stepped forward and lovingly touched the top of the winter cub's hair, and said, "They gave up reincarnation and melted into the spirit fish to accompany you, I hope you don't live up to their intentions." ”

The winter cub seemed to understand whether he understood or not, his little hands tightly grasped the spirit fish, lying on the rotten bodies of Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi, howling and crying, and mourning.
