22. Luck
Isn't the corpse demon already subdued by Mingyue, why is it still there?
Rob suddenly became nervous, grabbed Mingyue's hand and said, "That, there, there!" β
Mingyue looked up, frowned, and said, "It's nothingβwhat did you see?" Don't take it to heart, those lonely ghosts can't do anything to you. β
"I ......" Rob was speechless, but he couldn't ask the questions in his stomach, because Mingyue was busy lowering her head and eating violently, so she didn't have time to pay attention to her.
Mingyue didn't dare to explain, the ghost who had strayed into the corpse demon just now hit the wall, fortunately, Rob's blood actually had the effect of driving away evil spirits, and she came to her senses at the last moment, the corpse demon was not difficult to deal with, but Rob's life was hanging by a thread, so Mingyue didn't think about it, she cut open the corpse demon's chest and dug out the demon pill and fed it to Rob, which saved Rob's life.
I think Rob usually can't even bear to kill people, let alone kill demons to take pills, so Mingyue never dared to tell Rob the truth, because he was worried that Rob would be affected by the remaining demon qi of the demon pill if he ate the demon pill, and he didn't know how to fool him when the time came.
Rob knew this, he sat there uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look at the female ghost with his eyes, and the female ghost also found that Rob could see her, and cried and came over to complain, "He lied to me, he clearly said that he could come to him if he had difficulties in the future......"
Rob followed the direction of the female ghost's finger and saw the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was discussing something with the owner of the wonton stall, the two quarreled fiercely, and finally the shopkeeper whispered something, the owner of the wonton stall was silent for a moment, finally nodded in agreement, and walked to the back kitchen.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smug look on his face, Rob took the opportunity to beckon him over for questioning.
"You know that woman, right?" Rob looked at the female ghost and added, "It's the one with a beautiful mole on his chin." β
The shopkeeper's face changed color, and he said hatefully: "Of course I know, but she made my business unbearable, but fortunately I was taken away by the master, the master is really powerful, and I took out the heart of the corpse demon with one hand......"
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Mingyue was choked by a mouthful of corn soup, coughed non-stop, and slapped the table to the shopkeeper's tantrum, "Why is this soup so light!" β
The shopkeeper was respectful and afraid, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make the soup again.
Rob was helpless, so he thought about chatting with the female ghost again, but when he turned around, he found that the female ghost was caught by two black-clothed messengers, and one of the ghosts was holding a pile of paper in his hand for the female ghost to draw, and the female ghost was so frightened that she cried loudly: "He asked me to do it, I don't know anything......
A ghost shouted to stop her: "Shut up, we just arrest people, and if you don't accept it, you can appeal to the relevant departments." β
Rob lost his voice and called: "Eh......" felt inappropriate, didn't dare to speak again, lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.
One of the ghosts turned around and saw Rob and said to the other, "Brother, do you see if that is the half-human thing that wasn't a demon last time?" β
"What a half-human is not a demon, you see that she has a demonic aura on her body now, that is a demon!" Another ghost replied, "Hurry up, the demon is not in our hands, don't cause trouble." β
When the ghost cha escorted the ghost away, Rob dared to raise his head, pondering the ghost's words in his heart, looked down at himself, and thought: "So, has the demon part of my body awakened?" β
Thinking about the disgusting and disgusting appearance of the corpse demon when he died just now, he was so upset that he couldn't eat, so he washed his hands and left the dining table for some reason.
Mingyue was a little afraid to face Rob, nodded and continued to eat.
Rob turned to the back of the hotel, and happened to meet the old lady who lent her clothes to wear, the old lady was very happy to see Rob, and took Robb's hand and said, "Although the master is strong in spells, you little girl should not keep running outside, don't let people rob and sell." β
Rob was surprised, he was robbed last time he went out, is it so dangerous for girls in this world to go out? Curious asked, "How so?" β
Is it that the security here is not good? Or is this the system of this society that oppresses women?
"Hey." The old lady sighed, "It's not because there are too few girls, all girls who have reached the age of marriage have been expropriated by the emperor, and it has been levied for ten years, so it is difficult to find a girl now, and if you want to marry a good-looking wife, you have to go to the black market to buy it." β
"Is there such a ridiculous thing?" Rob was shocked, all the marriageable girls in the country in ten years, how many people are there? Saying that there are 3,000 beauties in the harem is far from enough to describe the huge number.
"Yes, my family has this restaurant and has a thin background, but it's a pity that the tide is rising, and I always don't have enough money to marry a wife, my original daughter-in-law came back, I hoped to keep her, but my son refused, so many things happened, and I don't know when the business will get better."
It happened that the shopkeeper went to the backyard to put things, and saw that the old mother was nagging again, and said sharply: "Don't mention that β‘β‘ again, I had a good life back then, but I had to leave with me, and I hooked up with that Zhang Sheng for a long time, and now I run back to beg me, I would rather be lonely than her!" β
The old lady was also angry: "You idiot, if she hadn't missed the old love, she would have eaten you and me a long time ago, didn't you see how she killed those guys?" β
"Don't, don't say it." The shopkeeper covered the old lady's mouth with a frightened expression, "It's easy to find a guy again, don't scare away anymore." β
Rob didn't want to listen to it anymore, turned around and left to return to Mingyue's side, looking at the table of delicacies, but it was difficult to swallow.
"What's wrong with you?" Mingyue was puzzled, and put a piece of fish to Rob's mouth, "Come and taste it, it's really delicious." β
Rob smiled bitterly, pushed Mingyue's hand away, and lied: "I was scared just now, and I can't eat it now." β
"Hush." Mingyue said disdainfully: "What is this, I haven't seen any ugly (demon) back then." β
Rob was in a bad mood, too lazy to argue with Mingyue, and responded listlessly.
Mingyue couldn't eat anymore before she reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks, Rob called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and the shopkeeper bowed respectfully, flattering in his mouth: "The master helped our shop except for monsters, just a light meal, we just want to express a little gratitude, don't give money!" β
"We're here to pay for food." Rob smiled, left enough silver and the handle of the food box, and pulled Mingyue out, sure enough, the shopkeeper's mouth sounded good, but he carefully picked up the silver and put it in his arms, and he didn't even look at the wooden board.
The shopkeeper followed behind Mingyue and persuaded: "The sun is so high at this hour, and we also have guest rooms in the backyard of the restaurant, so it's not too late to rest for a while." β
Mingyue really felt sleepy, but Rob refused to stay long, shook his head and refused, "No, we still have urgent matters, we are fortunate to meet again." β
Mingyue had no choice but to follow Rob away and walk far away, and when Mingyue turned around, she could still see the shopkeeper standing at the door.
"This old man is really a good man with a lot of feelings." Mingyue praised, rubbed her eyes, and felt that her eyes were a little flowery, could it be that she had eaten too much.
"It's too good, I want to send it thousands of miles away." Rob felt that something was wrong, there must be a demon when things went wrong, he had been worried about his demonization, and he didn't have the heart to think about anything else, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the shopkeeper was not right, and he pulled Mingyue away, but Mingyue's legs and feet staggered.
"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep......" In the blink of an eye, Mingyue couldn't even speak clearly.
Rob immediately took the opportunity to pick up Mingyue and rushed forward, at this time Rob ate the demon core and was as light as a swallow, carrying Mingyue effortlessly, Rob knew that her appearance with Mingyue on her back was too weird, and she only dared to pick up the small alley to drill around, and finally got rid of the Babaozhai shopkeeper who was following behind him, never thought that the road in the alley was crooked, turned left and right, and ran out of a long alley, and was bumping into the shopkeeper who was dejected and returning to the store.
Rob secretly screamed bad luck, turned around and twisted the snake's tail and slowly retreated, just wanting to leave quietly while the shopkeeper didn't see it.
Unexpectedly, Rob slowed down, and the dazed Mingyue was very dissatisfied with Rob's back, clamped Rob's thin waist with her legs, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up!" β
This shout alarmed the shopkeeper, turned his head to look at Rob, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then changed to a warm smile and walked over to Rob, "Master, what's the matter, let's come to the shop to rest for a while!" β
Luo Bu laughed dryly, feeling that the bright moon on her back was hot, and her own vision began to blur, it seemed that she had to find a professional doctor immediately, and her eyes looked along both sides of the street, and she saw a shop not far from Babaozhai, with a big gourd hanging at the door as a disguise.
Maybe this is a family medical hall, of course, it is not guaranteed to sell gourd water scoops, no matter what, gamble! Rob's blood is excited again when he gambles when he is in danger, but the shopkeeper is blocked at the mouth of the alley.
"Your wife told you to come home for dinner!"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he shouted: "Shut up, she's not my wife anymore, not anymore!" β
"But you turned her into a corpse demon to make money for you!"
"IβI'm ......."
"Tell her yourself." Rob pointed to the side with his chin, looked back at the shopkeeper while his heart was weak, and ran over quickly, knocking the shopkeeper aside with his shoulder, and went straight to the hospital.
Fortunately, the medical hall is not far away, even so, Rob almost exhausted all his strength, and fell to the ground when he entered the medical hall, and the moment he landed, Rob was a little entangled in his heart, so he skillfully threw Mingyue aside, and reached out to cover his skirt.
Poor Mingyue rolled on the ground a few times, and muttered in her mouth: "Don't leave or right, go up and down, up and down, ......"
"Bright Moon!" A bald woman in coarse cloth and green clothes pounced on her and hugged Mingyue, it was Jingyue.
"Mingyue, what's wrong with you?" Jingyue burst into tears, crying and begging the doctor sitting behind the high counter: "Donor, be merciful and save her!" β
"Hurry up, hurry up." A man who looked like an apprentice stepped forward to rush people, "I don't have money to see any diseases, don't die in the store to add bad luck to us." β
Jingyue refused to leave, fell on the ground and cried: "Ask the donor to save them, I will recite scriptures and pray for you every day in the future." β
Rob struggled to sit up from the ground, took out the money bag from his waist, and poured out all the silver inside, "Save us, these are all yours, not enough for me." β
The doctor sat high and looked far away, and suddenly stood up behind the counter, and greeted the junior apprentice with two big teeth: "Quick, quickly help the patient to the back ward, go to the VIP room!" β
The doctor rushed out from behind the counter like a wind, ran to Rob's side, and retrieved the money bag from the ground one by one.
Maybe it's not a good idea to give all the money at once, but Rob can't manage that much anymore, he's dizzy, can't think, and his limbs are limp and can't use his strength.
Here, Jingyue followed the junior apprentices to carry Mingyue and Lao Songtou into the backyard, and Rob was the last in line because he looked the least ill, and he happened to be seen by the shopkeeper of Babaozhai who caught up.
"Don't go, you, you owe me food money!"
Seeing the dispute, the apprentice who was helping Rob also stopped, and the two shops were next to each other, and they were all familiar with each other.
Rob turned his head and spat loudly, scolding, "Why didn't you give it?" Didn't you even give you the big red purse embroidered with Tilian? You dare to come and ask for money, do you dare to go with me to see the official! β
The shopkeeper turned his head to look at the doctor who was picking up the money, his face was suddenly as pale as paper, and he went out backwards, and his mouth was still justifying: "I'm afraid of you, I'll go to report to the official!" β
"Let's go!" Rob propped his head and scolded, "If you don't go, you're a thief!" β
The shopkeeper finally exited the door, and Rob was speechless as if he had exhausted his strength.
The doctor just finished picking up the money on the ground, put the money bag in his arms, patted it with his hand uneasily, picked up the herbal tea on the counter and handed it to Rob, "It's okay, it's just ordinary sweat medicine, just drink some cold water." β
Rob endured the dizziness and took it and drank it, sure enough, he felt much more refreshed, and hurriedly poured another cup of herbal tea for Mingyue to send over, but unfortunately Mingyue was too full just now, and he couldn't drink cold water anymore, so he was so anxious that Rob was at a loss.
In the end, the doctor said, "It's okay, even if you don't drink cold water, you will be over the medicine after sleeping for a while, don't worry, I don't know the medicine I dispensed?" β
Rob glanced at the doctor when he heard this, and the doctor laughed, grinning and showing that his front teeth were bigger, "It's all neighborhoods, and it's just a matter of communicating with each other." β
ββ¦β¦ Did he bring you food? Rob asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, his family's business has not been good recently, and there are a lot of leftover meals sent over, I ate all the meat and vegetables, and the rest of the vegetarian dishes are sold to the nun if I don't like to eat."
Rob remembered the large sum of money left for the shopkeeper of Babaozhai, and the whole person was not good.
