CHAPTER XLII

As if the sky was leaking, the heavy rain kept falling, the gloomy sky was densely covered with low-hanging dark clouds, as if they would collapse at any time, which was very depressing, there were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally one or two were in a hurry, umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots were fully armed, but Rao was so difficult to completely block the pouring rain, and the cold rain that slipped into the clothes made them not very pleasant, and they could only speed up their pace, hoping to reach their destination earlier.

The light in the unlit room was a little darker than the outside world, but a wisp of flame suddenly rose, and after a few swaying moments, green smoke curled and rolled away.

"Are you the one who called me?"

As the gentle voice came out, two figures stepped forward and backward from the green smoke, and their ethereal postures revealed a terrifying mystery, which made him hesitate slightly, and then nodded affirmatively.

"Yes. Excuse me...... You two are 'demon masters'? ”

"Exactly. I'm the 'Demon Master' Canghu, and this is my assistant Liu Yuanhua. ”

Gently answering in the dissipating green smoke, Canghu raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

He is about forty years old, his posture is straight, and although his clothes are stained with some mud, it does not affect the terrifying momentum revealed between his gestures, he is obviously a resolute and resolute person, but at this moment his eyebrows are full of gloomy clouds.

However, this is also normal, and the client who will ask the fox for help usually looks like this.

At the same time that Canghu looked at him, he was also looking at Canghu and Liu Yuanhua who was standing behind, he didn't pay much attention to the ordinary-looking Canghu, his gaze stayed on Liu Yuanhua for a while, as if he was secretly thinking about something, and then looked at Canghu again, and after a while, he said: "My name is Ran Weiguo, I hope you can do me a favor." ”

"Please."

"I want you to protect two people for me and help them overcome the current catastrophe. Will you be able to take the commission? ”

Without much hesitation, Canghu replied: "This is not difficult in terms of the nature of the entrustment, but the formation of the specific contract depends on the actual situation, can you give us a detailed explanation?" Including who they want to protect and what the 'disaster' they are experiencing. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Ran Weiguo took out a metal pendant from the pocket on his chest.

Embedded in the coin-sized pendant is a photograph of a middle-aged woman with a gentle smile and a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sparkling smile full of vitality and a very similar look to Ran Weiguo's eyebrows.

"I hope you are protecting them, my wife and son."

Reluctantly looking at the photo in Canghu's hand, Ran Weiguo's eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, very sad.

"I'm engaged in a special profession, it's easy to make some enemies, and I'm often not at home, in the past, my companions would take care of each other, even if I wasn't there, I didn't have to worry too much, but now the situation is different, during this time, everyone is almost not around, so there will definitely be some enemies who take the opportunity to come to the door. My wife is a very ordinary middle school teacher, and my son is only in high school, if they meet something, they won't ...... at all" Speaking of this, Ran Weiguo's worry was already overflowing, he raised his eyes to look at Canghu, and his voice couldn't help but carry a little pleading, "Can I ask you to take this commission?" I also know that they are all involved in me, but now I have no choice but to ask you for help. ”

didn't answer immediately, Canghu just looked at the two people who were smiling in the photo, and glanced at Ran Weiguo deeply.

The anxious and slightly panicked look and the muddy clothes made this tall middle-aged man look a little embarrassed, but the feelings in his eyes were sincere and moving.

Retracting her gaze and muttering for a moment, Canghu whispered, and the burned rice paper appeared in her hand, she unfolded the paper in front of Ran Weiguo, and after concentrating for a moment, a decent handwriting gradually appeared in the blank, and then she turned the paper and asked Ran Weiguo to confirm the content on it.

looked at every word and sentence seriously, and when he saw one of the sentences, Ran Weiguo couldn't help but be stunned, and looked up at Canghu: "This ......"

Canghu smiled slightly: "Compared to protecting them from the current disaster, I think this is the ending you want the most, right?" ”

The gentle curved eyes behind the lenses seemed to be able to penetrate his heart, which made Ran Weiguo a little surprised, but this was not an unsightly thing, so he simply admitted: "That's right, this is indeed what I hope for the most, but ......" looked down at that sentence again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "This kind of thing, after all, can only be a 'good wish', how can it be realized now?" ”

"It can be done."

The faint words made Ran Weiguo look up suddenly, and he saw Canghu's gentle smile.

"Don't forget, I'm here to fulfill your wishes."

There was a calm and extreme certainty in the understatement tone, like the confidence in his bones, which made Ran Weiguo, who had already given up, rekindle hope, and he looked at Canghu expectantly: "Can ...... Do it? ”

"Of course, because I'm not an ordinary person, but a 'demon master'."

Looking at the gentle and indifferent smile, Ran Weiguo's hand holding the rice paper couldn't help but tremble slightly, his resolute thin lips were tightly pursed, and he couldn't help but try to open his eyes wide while frowning, as if to prevent the tears that gradually flickered in his eyes from overflowing his eyes, and then he stood up straight and saluted Canghu with an extremely resolute attitude.

"Then please!"

Outside the window, the rain was falling.

Dark clouds still obscured the entire sky, the dense rain caused visibility to be less than five meters at its lowest, and the water on the road was almost to the point of crooking the legs.

It didn't take long for the rain to light down, and although the water could not go away, no one could say when the rain would get heavier again, so some people took the opportunity to go out to buy some necessities, but they were also in a hurry, and did not want to stay longer on the streets that had become a "small river".

Although Xu Yao didn't have the heart to think about what she wanted to eat now, she couldn't ignore her son's diet after all, so she also seized this time to go out, and when she bought vegetables, the rain gradually became heavier, so she quickened her pace and hurried home, but before she got downstairs, she heard an unpleasant sound in front of her.

"Yo! Isn't this Sister-in-law Ran? It's been a long time! ”
