The pouring rain was still falling, and the night sky outside was gloomy and dark, but the pavilions were brightly lit.

The servants came and went to prepare for the feast, and all kinds of delicate white porcelain utensils were laid out one by one, and before the feast began, many men were already drinking in their places.

Xiuxiu, who had finished changing her clothes, combed two bags of buns, and was pulling the doll to play with mud in the flower bed in the corner of the aisle. From time to time, something black, like vines and earthworms, crawled out from under the camellia tree, but all of them were trampled flat by Xiuxiu and the doll with their shoes.

The doll has a small amount of Wen Yu's blood, and most of the three souls and six spirits have now returned to their places, although they can't be completely normal, but their actions are not much different from ordinary people.

There is only one point, she is slow to react, and her hands are a little clumsy, Xiuxiu taught her for a long time, but she couldn't learn it.

So Xiuxiu pinched a villain with mud and stuffed it into the doll's hand, and when she saw the doll's confused look, she smiled and said, "You are too stupid, you can't learn it for half a day." This one is given to you, and it is as if you made it. You can show it to the old woman in a moment. ”

The doll pursed her lips and looked at the clay puppet expressionlessly a few times, and then silently put it into her sleeve.

The servants who passed by couldn't help but laugh when they saw two delicate female dolls playing with mud there. Because of the imbalance of yin and yang here, the rare birth of newborns is mostly affected by the breath of ghosts, gods and monsters, and most of them can't survive the age of one. Now there are two dolls at the same time, and everyone is very happy.

Seeing that Xiuxiu and the doll were happy, everyone did not step forward to stop them, but kept sending food to the banquet hall.

When Tsing Yi found Xiuxiu, he saw Xiuxiu covered in muddy water, folding camellia there, preparing to use the mud puppet as a skirt.

"Xiuxiu." Tsing Yi Xiu's eyebrows twisted, grabbed Xiuxiu's mud paws with a headache and sighed, "Why did you get mud again?" You've just fallen into the water today, and you're afraid you'll catch a cold if you touch the water again. ”

"Hey, hey." Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue naughtily, in order to make Tsing Yi happy, she hurriedly gave the camellia she had just pinched off to Tsing Yi, "Sister Tsing Yi, this flower is for you to wear." ”

Tsing Yi couldn't stand Xiuxiu's begging for mercy like this, so she had to take it with a smile.

The doll on the side was still holding a handful of mud in her hand, and when she saw Tsing Yi, she slowly rubbed it to Tsing Yi's side.

As soon as Tsing Yi saw the doll, he remembered what the nerd had been worried about before. Looking at the doll's current situation of not being a ghost or a ghost, she is a bystander, and she feels pitiful when she looks at her.

"Homesick?" Tsing Yi asked softly in a soothing tone, "Do you want to send you back?" ”

The doll looked up at Tsing Yi blankly, and then whispered: "I want to ......"

Tsing Yi smiled slightly, and before she could say anything, she heard the old couple who came over at some point and said, "Doll, doll here." ”

The doll blinked and looked at Tsing Yi hesitantly.

The old woman saw that the doll was sticking to Tsing Yi and refused to come, so she personally stepped forward to pick up the doll, nodded to Tsing Yi again, and then hurried back to the room.

Xiuxiu saw Tsing Yi's brows tightened, and said that she was still angry with herself, so she was busy reaching out and washing her hands with the sound of rain.

Tsing Yi simply laughed again, so he shook his head, put the camellia into his sleeve, and then took Xiuxiu back to the room to wash his hands.

The black tentacles crept up the camellia tree, and then the closed buds on the treetops slowly bloomed into a red camellia.

The people who had returned from the hunt freshened up and sat down in their rightful seats on time.

Tsing Yi was placed on the right hand side of Ji's father, next to Ji Qi. Xiuxiu was placed at the guest's table, and happened to be sitting with the old couple. She didn't know anyone else except these people, and she silently stared down at the plate of pastries on the table, secretly speculating about when the banquet would end.

Father Ji held the wine glass, only smiling and watching everyone talk happily.

The servants brought up one delicate dish after another, and some of them could not tell what they were made of.

Tsing Yi had already thought about it, and said in his heart, whether it was pork and mutton or monster meat, it would be the same anyway. So she picked out some dishes that looked quite ordinary.

There was a crystal-clear jelly that was especially to her liking.

Use the soy sauce from minced garlic and green peppers, then add a little vinegar to make a hot and sour sauce. When eating crystal jelly, just add a little sauce to it, and the taste will be very different.

The cool and elastic taste, the sour and spicy taste, slippery but not greasy, chewing firmly, simply make people can't stop their mouths.

A plate of crystal meat skin was frozen after a while, and it all entered Tsing Yi's stomach. Tsing Yi withdrew her hand unsatisfied, and was hesitating in front of other dishes, when a plate of crystal jelly was suddenly placed in front of her.

Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and slowly raised her head along the slender and graceful hand, she saw Father Ji whispering to her with a gentle smile: "Since you like it, you will ask the kitchen to make it for you tomorrow." ”

Tsing Yi nodded obediently, felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

Although they are father and daughter, they haven't seen each other for many years, and Tsing Yi has no memory of the past.

Father Ji didn't care, just picked up the wine glass and drank silently.

Tsing Yi saw that he was patronizing and drinking, and almost never touched the chopsticks, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

At this time, it was already halfway through the banquet, and the crowd that should have been extremely lively suddenly quieted down.

The clanging of chains continued, and everyone looked towards the entrance of the banquet room.

Tsing Yi looked over for some reason, and then saw two servants slowly walking in with an unrecognizable living creature.

Father Ji put down the wine glass in his hand, and tilted his head to Ji Qi to bow slightly. Ji Qi smiled slightly, but took out a dagger from his sleeve.

The servants pressed the moving creature to the middle of the hall, and everyone around them looked excited or expectant.

"Look at it, Tsing Yi." Ji Qi got up and said to Tsing Yi, "This will also be your job in the future." ”

Tsing Yi opened his eyes slightly in surprise, and he really didn't understand what Ji Qi meant.

The living creature held down by the servants was a monster beast with a human face and the body of a beast, giving birth to four legs, like the long arms of an ape, which was really terrifying at a glance.

Ji Qi walked in front of the demon beast with a dagger, grabbed the hair on the demon beast's head in front of everyone, and lifted its head up.

The demon beast was in pain, and immediately raised its head and roared angrily.

Tsing Yi's ears were buzzing from the roar of the demon beast, and she reached out to cover her ears uncomfortably, but the loud roar was still piercing and painful.

Tsing Yi couldn't help but shake his head and closed his eyes stiffly.

Just when she felt that she could not bear it anymore, the piercing roar of the beast suddenly became weak.

Tsing Yi subconsciously opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a wide-sleeved robe embroidered with silver silk swastikas.

She turned her face slightly, and her father's gentle face was on the side of her face, and on the back of her hand was her father's broad, warm hand. He smiled reassuringly at Tsing Yi, and then stared earnestly ahead.

He...... What a gentle man......

The cacophony had been muffled, and she was finally able to calm down.

Then she followed Father Ji's gaze and looked forward, and saw that Ji Qi was still pulling the hair of the demon beast and pulling its neck straight.

The people around were shouting excitedly to encourage Ji Qi to continue.

Ji Qi smiled slightly, casually approaching the neck of the demon beast as if trimming a branch.

Because the demon beast was forced to raise its head, Tsing Yi was able to see its true face.

Despite the body of a wild beast, its face was as graceful as that of a mortal scholar. It knelt on its knees, its limbs bound by the prison demon ropes, and the dagger of the Ji Li people was across its neck, as if it knew that its life was near, and its face showed a slight gray color of despair.

Looking at that face, and the emotion revealed on that face, Tsing Yi unconsciously had an illusion, as if it was a person.

Then she saw Ji Qi's arm swing outward smoothly, and the sharp dagger was like a white light, speeding over the demon beast's neck.

The servants waiting on the side quickly caught the splatters of demon blood with deep vessels.

Occasionally, a few people were splashed with scarlet demon blood, but in Tsing Yi's opinion, those who were splashed with blood were even more excited.

Immediately after her, she felt a loosening of the back of her hand, but it was Ji's father who let go of her hand. The sound of everyone's cheers poured into her ears like a tide, and she slowly lowered her hand, and the sound of blood gushing mixed with the shouts of people cheering was endless, and this scene was like a bloody feast.

"Alright." After Ji Qi cut off the neck of the demon beast, she wiped the dagger with a handkerchief and put it back, and then she naturally returned to the seat next to Tsing Yi and sat down.

The servants used spoons to put the demon blood into the white porcelain cups, and then delivered them to the people present one by one.

Tsing Yi stared at the white porcelain cup in front of her for a long time without moving, she still remembered the smell of demon blood that Wen Yu gave her not long ago, and at this time, facing the similar white porcelain cup, her stomach couldn't stop churning.

Everyone silently watched Father Ji not make a move, until Father Ji took the lead in drinking the demon blood, then they scrambled to pick up the white porcelain cup and drank it happily.

Ji Qi has been paying attention to Tsing Yi's expression and demeanor, she saw Tsing Yi frowning at the demon blood, and knew that Tsing Yi had been away from home for a long time, and many of the characteristics that Ji Li people should have disappeared, so that they were a little resistant to such trivial matters as drinking demon blood raw.

As Tsing Yi's aunt, Ji Qi secretly felt that she had a heavy responsibility, so she sank her face and said solemnly: "As Ji Li people, if we want to survive, there is only one way to go to eat demons." Killing to survive is a bloody road, and since we have taken their lives, we must naturally cherish their flesh and blood. The fresh demon blood aura is the most sufficient, and when the heat dissipates, it will not be very effective. And this charm turned by the strange atmosphere of the mountains and forests was caught by your father's hard work, you still drink it while it's hot, don't waste it. ”

Tsing Yi was ashamed of what Ji Qi said, and then looked around carefully, and saw that everyone had drunk everything, only the white porcelain cup in front of him was still full.

Hesitantly held the white porcelain cup to her lips, she glanced at Father Ji again, and saw Father Ji looking at her with an encouraging face, so she gritted her teeth, just as if she was drinking bitter medicine, she raised her head and poured it down.
