Chu Shouren closed his eyes and thought slowly, and the picture in his mind that had scared him so far ran out uncontrollably again.

It was still the first year of Jinhui, when only more than 20 years old Chu Shouren was a famous filial son in Chu County, because his father died early, Chu Shouren's mother single-handedly pulled him up, and when he grew up, Chu Shouren was also very competitive, not only learned something, and obtained the qualification for the entrance examination of Chunqiu, but also filial piety to his mother.

In March of the first year of Jinhui, the snow in Yunzhou had begun to melt, and Chu Shouren prepared his bags to go to Beijing in his mother's gratifying nagging, and he was going south to the capital the next day to fight for his future.

The accident happened that night, that night Chu Shouren did not personally wash his mother's feet, but went to bed early at the request of his mother, until midnight, Chu Shouren faintly heard the yellow dog in the family roaring, which seemed to be mixed with the call of the old mother, but it may have been too sleepy at the time, or it may be a dream, Chu Shouren wanted to get up to see what was going on, but he found that his whole body was like a deflated bellows, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, let alone lift up.

In this way, he was in a daze until dawn, and after waking up, Chu Shouren did not find anything wrong, so he took what he experienced last night in his daze as a dream, but when he walked out of his room and was about to see if his mother was up, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the corner of the courtyard gate, where there was a corpse, the body of the yellow dog of his family.

After confirming that the yellow dog had been dead for a long time, the frightened Chu Shouren came directly to his mother's room and broke into the door directly, Chu Shouren's mother was still lying quietly on the bed, breathing evenly and seemed to be asleep, but her face was a little more pale than before, but Chu Shouren did not pay attention to this.

Seeing that his mother was safe, Chu Shouren's hanging heart was relaxed, probably the yellow dog was poisoned to death by eating something that should not be eaten, Chu Shouren felt a little sorry in his heart, the dog was very well-behaved.

"Mother?" Calling softly, as if there was no response, it should still be asleep, Chu Shouren got up and walked to the door, since it is rare for his mother to have such a good sleep, then he should not wake her up first, so he prepared to close the door and go out to prepare breakfast.

But just when Chu Shouren's hand reached the broken door bolt, he suddenly noticed a trace of unusualness, he broke the door in a hurry just now, and when he broke the door, the door bolt had already been broken, and the sound was so loud that even people who slept heavily would be awakened, not to mention his awake mother.

So Chu Shouren came to his mother's bedside again, shouting loudly for his mother, still no response, Chu Shouren took his mother's hand and shouted and shook, but his mother still kept sleeping, Chu Shouren began to be afraid, he hurriedly took care of himself, and after dressing his mother neatly, he went to invite the doctor who sat in the Ji'an Hall in the city.

The doctor didn't come to the door to find out why, and the conclusion was that Chu Shouren's mother's condition was as normal, there was no problem, but there was a loss of qi and blood, so her face didn't look very good.

This doctor can't see it, so he asks another doctor, another doctor can't see the end, and then asks another doctor, this time is more than ten days have passed, ten miles and eight towns and the county doctors have been invited, and there is no result, and the only little savings left in the family are spent a little more and less, and the mother is still lying in bed like a deep sleep.

Seeing that the time for the spring festival is coming, Chu Shouren will not be able to catch up with the exam if he doesn't leave, but there is a mother who can't wake up for a long time at home, and Chu Shouren can't leave it behind, and the neighbors are also doing their best to help, but no matter how much they help, it is impossible to move his mother to his own house to provide for him, so seeing that the days are passing day by day, Chu Shouren also gave up the idea of participating in the spring festival and stayed at home to take care of his mother with peace of mind.

After the people of Chu County knew about it, they all felt sorry from the bottom of their hearts, and then shook their heads helplessly, but the filial piety of Chu Shouren spread more widely in Yunzhou because of this incident.

Half a year has passed in a flash, Chu Shouren took care of his mother carefully, and at the same time went to the yamen to do some work to write and record, but also lived a life, the work was arranged for him by the county master of Chu County, one was moved by his filial piety, and the other was out of pity for his talent, and wanted to help him.

It was late autumn, the weather was cold, and I don't know when it started, a news in Chu County quickly spread in the city, that is, Chu Shouren's mother woke up!

Chu Shouren's mother woke up! This is tantamount to exploding thunder on a sunny day, and it exploded in the entire Chu County in an instant, and for a while, all the people from ten miles and eight towns flocked to the home of Chu Shouren, shouting at the mother and son, and some sincerely went to condole, and some came to see the strange ones out of pure curiosity.

No matter what the purpose of these people is, Chu Shouren's heart is extremely happy, his mother has woken up and completely returned to normal, is there anything more joyful than this?

Of course, there are other things that are worth being happy about, the day after Chu Shouren's mother woke up, an edict was sent to Chu Shouren by a group of county officials.

It turned out that the county magistrate of Chu County felt that Chu Shou was indeed a talent, and he was polite and virtuous, and the most important thing was that he was extremely filial, so he wrote a letter of recommendation and sent it to the state ruler of Yunzhou, who also felt that Chu Shou was good after reading it, and this year, the new emperor was established, and he urgently needed some means to commend the new emperor's imperial grace, so he did not hesitate to send this letter of recommendation to Anping Jun Jinran.

This move is also quite Jinran, so with a stroke of the pen, in the name of filial piety, Chu Shouren was a small official of the seventh grade of the Chu county magistrate.

Chu Shouren, who got the edict, changed from an ordinary person to a court official, assisting the county magistrate of Chu County to govern Chu County in an orderly manner, and during this period, the old county magistrate may have given his daughter to Chu Shouren, that is, the first wife of Chu Shouren.

After a few years, this lady successfully gave birth to a son to Chu Shou, the old county magistrate also passed away in the second year after leaving office because of his old age, Chu Shou people because of their reputation in the mouth of the people of Chu County and the famous filial piety, without any suspense promoted to the post of the county magistrate of Chu County, the new Chu Shou people were full of ambition, thinking that their lives were going to go on so happily, and the change came again.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fifth year of Jinhui, and after the family had a warm Mid-Autumn Festival, they went back to their rooms to sleep, but just when Chu Shouren and his wife just coaxed their son to sleep, Chu Shouren's mother's room sounded one after another low roar, which was creepy, because Chu Shouren was still a fair and honest good official at this time, so the family did not hire a slave maid.

Out of concern for his mother, Chu Shouren pulled his wife and knocked on his mother's door with courage.

The door opened in response, and I saw my mother, who was still in good spirits just now, sitting on the edge of the bed with her hair scattered at this time, but without the creepy low roar, Chu Shouren clearly saw a pair of blood-red eyes under the mother's messy white hair, which were like those hungry beasts rumored in the hunter's account, fierce and bloodthirsty!

The wife on the side also looked at the mother-in-law who looked like a beast in front of her in horror, and wanted to say a few words of concern, but she was unable to speak under the mother-in-law's beast-like breath.

"Shouren, you go out first, I have something to say to Xun Niang."

Chu Shouren moved his lips, he wanted to say that everyone is a family, and there is something that he can't say in front of himself, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say it, just sighed and walked out of the door.

As soon as he took half a step, he felt someone tugging at his clothes, and when he looked back, he saw his wife pinching the corner of his clothes nervously with one hand, and her eyes were full of uneasiness and fear.

Chu Shouren picked up his wife's hand holding the corner of his clothes, patted it comfortingly, and seemed to suddenly feel a little funny at this moment: "Don't worry, that's our mother, what's there to be afraid of?" ”

His wife's mood seemed to have become better, Chu Shouren let go of his wife, and then walked out of the door quickly, closed the door by the way, thought for a moment, and felt that it was good for his mother and wife to say something heart-to-heart, so he went to his room.

Halfway through, the mother's room let out another low roar, mixed with the wife's pleading and screaming: "Mother-in-law, don't! No! Xianggong, ah...! ”

The last scream of his wife stopped abruptly halfway, and Chu Shouren hurriedly ran back, ignoring those etiquette, and directly slammed open the door of his mother's room, and the scene in front of him still makes Chu Shouren tremble to this day.

The wife was lying on her back on the ground with her head facing the door, her beautiful eyes had lost any color at this time, but the fear and despair in her eyes were clearly visible, they were staring at the direction of the door, probably at the last moment of her life, she was still praying for the appearance of her father-in-law.

The bubbling blood was still gushing out of her neck, her body was still twitching slightly, and the blood-stained mother was lying on her wife's body, her hands were stuck her wife's neck, and she sucked the blood gushing out one after another.

I don't remember when I woke up, I just remember that it was still at night, and my mother on the side, no! From that time on, Chu Shouren no longer thought that the woman was his mother.

She was sitting not far from herself, the blood stains on her body were gone, and she was no longer the beast-like cloak she had seen before, she looked exactly the same as before, if it weren't for the corpse of his wife lying next to her, Chu Shouren really thought that he was having a nightmare.

"Tut-tut" a strange smile came from the woman's mouth, "I don't know my mother anymore?" “

The stunned Chu Shouren didn't answer, but the woman didn't seem to be angry, but continued: "It doesn't matter, you don't think of your mother, just recognize you for your mother." “

After speaking, the woman looked at her body by herself, and said: "I didn't expect Xun Niang's effect to be so good, I should have eaten her a long time ago, I have endured it hard in the past few years." “

"That's right!" The woman seemed to remember something, "He's your wife, I'm your mother, I finally know why it's so good." “

The woman smiled to herself, and her expression was not like that of an old woman in her fifties and sixties, but more like a little girl in her early twenties.

"You have been a husband and wife with her for five years, and each other has integrated into each other's essence and blood, and the essence and blood in your body has the best effect on Wei Niang, so Xun Niang's essence and blood will have such an effect, no wonder."

It's like discovering a new continent, and the woman keeps nagging herself, completely unconcerned that there is a big living person next to her.

"I'll give you two options." The woman who had been entertaining herself for a long time finally turned her gaze to Chu Shouren, and then smiled predictively: "One, kill you and your son; Second, worship me, I will ensure your glory and wealth, and there are countless beauties. “

Chu Shouren had imagined many situations facing death, but no matter which one he had, he would tell himself that he had to have backbone, had integrity, and had no fear of death.

But when death really came, there was nothing else in Chu Shouren's heart except for one thought, and this thought was - find a way to live!

So when the woman in front of him said these two choices, Chu Shouren only hesitated slightly, and then chose the second one.

So in the next ten years, Chu Shouren suddenly changed from an honest and honest good official back then, like a person, to a complete dog official.

Although he is greedy, he is actually not interested in money, he is most interested in women, as long as he likes it, he will try his best to get it, not a price, and no matter the consequences, because even if he pokes the sky into a hole, there is a powerful "mother" to help him clean up the mess, so over the years, Chu Shou people who have no scruples no longer know what fear is except for his "mother".

And the woman didn't know what hands and feet Chu Shouren's body understood, as long as she didn't touch a woman for a day, her whole body would be hot and unbearable, and her heart was like thousands of ants crawling, which was why when he returned to the county office, he rushed to Zhang Yanqiu in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Chu Shouren couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it was a pity that the ninth aunt had only been in his hands for less than a month, and he didn't have time to play all the tricks, and he was sucked by the woman.

In order, it was supposed to be this Zhang Yanqiu's turn, but for the sake of freshness, he only brought Aunt Jiu with him when he went back to the countryside, who knew that the woman suddenly fell ill in the countryside, and as a last resort, she had to throw Aunt Jiu to her, for the wailing and screaming of Aunt Jiu who was too afraid in the room at that time, Chu Shou people have been numb over the years.

However, if you calculate carefully, the difference between the time when the woman sucked essence blood this time and the last time she sucked the seventh aunt was less than a year, and the difference was less than two years before that, which means that the time that the woman needed to suck was getting more and more frequent, thinking of this, Chu Shouren suddenly had a worry in his heart.

It's not that he's worried that his body can't bear it, because the body that has been manipulated by the woman is almost the same as iron, but he is worried that his value to the woman seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

He was sure that when he had no use for that woman, or when that woman found a substitute with greater use value, he would definitely not hesitate to send himself to hell.

Ignoring Zhang Yanqiu, who had been up for a long time, Chu Shouren was tossing and turning on the bed, accompanied by the sound of the futon turning, this would be a night that made it difficult for many people to sleep.

For example, Jinhong, and for example, the Humeng army far outside the town of Xiema.
