Chapter 237: Sweeping the Year
"Ah Jin, where did you get that medicine, the effect is really good......" Ah Jiu moved a ladder and set it up next to the door, ready to climb up to wipe the dust on the beam, and halfway up, he saw Xia Yejin handing over a towel and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xia Yejin was stunned for a moment, remembered Fu Qingzhu's words, and smiled and casually said that he bought it from a strange person in the rivers and lakes at the entrance of the temple.
"You should buy a few more bottles, this medicine is very good for our injuries."
mentioned this, Xia Yejin felt a little guilty, "Ah Jiu, your injury...... I ......"
The other party waved his hand very indifferently, saying that I know it's none of your business, didn't the shopkeeper give you a tourmaline bracelet, as long as there is that bracelet, this kind of thing will not happen again in the future.
"Is this bracelet really that powerful?"
Xia Yejin stared at the tourmaline on her wrist and looked at it carefully, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like an ordinary thing.
"Of course, this is specially taken by the shopkeeper from Geng Mountain, don't look at its ordinary appearance, but it is very powerful. Just a little bit ......"
"What's there?"
Xia Yejin's curious expression made Ah Jiu very satisfied, and he paused before continuing, that is, don't let others see it when you usually take it, this thing is extremely rare, if you let someone who knows the goods see it, it will be troublesome.
At this moment, Wang Bad walked in, and seeing that the two of them had achieved a lot of results in cleaning, he deliberately lengthened his tone and said that the shopkeeper said that he saw that the two of you were doing well, and he specially bought some things-
Before he finished speaking, the oiled paper bag in his hand was snatched in his hand by Ah Jiuyi, who rushed down from the ladder. The movements were so fast that Xia Yejin didn't even see exactly when he got down the ladder.
"Ah Jin, this sugar chestnut tastes really good......" Ah Jiu grabbed the oiled paper bag with one hand and stuffed the chestnuts into his mouth with the other, and his mouth was vague and indistinct, "Do you want to have some?" ”
Although he asked so, his hand was still tightly tugging at the bag, looking like he was afraid that he would be robbed by others, Xia Yejin quickly shook his head and said not to eat it.
After hearing this answer, Ah Jiu finally relaxed the strength in his hand, but he still miscalculated, Wang Bad, who had been standing by the side and watching coldly, took advantage of this moment and quickly snatched the oil paper bag in his hand, originally wanted to give some to Xia Yejin, but when he fished it out, he was dumbfounded-how long has it been, Ah Jiu has eaten all such a big bag of sugar-fried chestnuts!?

The jade shop is located at the mouth of Tsing Yi Lane, with the side facing the street as a shop to place their respective jade, and the inner courtyard as a home. Xia Yejin lived in the west of the inner courtyard, and had been very quiet before. But in the past two days, it seems that a new family with a child has moved next door, and in the middle of the night, I am often woken up by the cry of a baby.
Because in the past few days, she is sweeping the house and going out to prepare New Year's goods, even with the help of Ah Jiu, Xia Yejin is extremely tired, and when she arrives in the house at night, she often falls asleep directly as soon as she gets to the bed, which also has a benefit, and the coma successfully helped her skip the crying and noisy sound of the baby next door in the middle of the night.
That night, she was lying in bed dreaming upside down, when suddenly a sharp baby cry sounded in her ears, and the sound seemed to be on her side, and she was awakened from her dream.
After listening carefully, Xia Yejin found that this cry was different from the past, the tone was not only sharp but also strange, like someone reaching out to choke the baby's neck, and he struggled desperately to let out a wail.
Thinking of the water demon who specialized in taking the baby primordial god before, she instantly fell asleep, tiptoed out of bed, and was trying to brave the courage to go around to the backyard and open the door to see what was going on, but who knew that the door had just opened a crack, and a figure flashed in.
"Pay, pay......"
Fu Qingzhu was sweating profusely, her breath was short and heavy, and seeing Xia Yejin's nervous expression, she quickly put her index finger on her lips and signaled her not to make a sound.
"You can't go through the back door, go to the side door." Fu Qingzhu said in a low voice.
Xia Yejin nodded while thinking in her heart, this person's familiarity with the structure of Qin Yin's mansion was much higher than that of herself.
Out of the side door, the two came to the mouth of the alley one after the other.
It was already past a few hours, and the surrounding streets were empty, except for the sparse and sporadic glow of the lanterns in front of the liquor stores in the distance. But the baby's cry was still faintly and intermittently, and the two were about to listen carefully, when they saw a figure flashing around the corner in front of them.
The two glanced at each other, and then quickly followed the figure after him.
The figure didn't walk too fast, and even deliberately led the two of them forward, Fu Qingzhu suddenly shook Xia Yejin's hand, and then quickly let go, Xia Yejin found that there was an extra piece of something folded into a triangle in his palm.
Fu Qingzhu looked at her and said, "Later, if something strange happens, you can hold this yellow talisman in your hand and find a place to hide, as long as the yellow talisman is not lost, even if it is the water demon, there is no way for you." ”
"What about you?"
"I have a way to deal with her." Fu Qingzhu's eyes followed closely to the figure in front of him, and he said, I have been waiting for her for a long time, and I finally met her today who couldn't bear to be lonely and came out to forage for food, and I couldn't let her go no matter what.
The two walked forward a little further, only to find that the figure that had been walking in front of them was gone.
I was wondering, but I saw a woman in a light gray coat squatting at the door of a shop on the street, holding a baby in both hands, humming and luring the baby to pee.
There was a lantern hanging in the wine shop across the street, and the dim yellow light hit the baby's face, Xia Yejin's eyes were sharp, and she immediately noticed that the child was motionless and his eyes were closed, and his small face was all purple and blue.
Fu Qingzhu also felt that something was wrong, his heart sank, and he rushed to grab the baby, but the woman seemed to have been prepared, suddenly stood up, threw the baby in her hand into the air first, pulled out a short sword from her sleeve, and stabbed Fu Qingzhu's chest. Fu Qingzhu dodged the blade of the sword, jumped up a few steps forward and reached out to pick up the baby, Xia Yejin stood behind him, but saw that his face instantly turned pale when he landed.
When I got closer, I realized that the baby was cold, and his breath had already been cut off.
Seeing that the woman was about to rush forward again, Fu Qingzhu sneered, and regardless of whether she was a woman or a child, he pulled out his long sword and went straight to the other party's vital point. The woman was forced into a corner by his sword, her body was short, but she suddenly hid in the black linen cloth that had not been removed from the tea stall next to her, Xia Yejin lifted the linen cloth, and the woman was long gone.
Fu Qingzhu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, almost didn't care, he took out seven yellow talismans from his arms, bit his fingertips again, and dripped blood on the blade of the sword, Xia Yejin was full of nervousness, and suddenly heard a strange sound above his head, but it was the woman holding a short sword and approaching Fu Qingzhu's heavenly spirit cover.
