Chapter 54: The Man Who Coexists with the Demons

"Don't I have to play?" Duanmu Rong asked, pointing to herself.

Lin Chen glanced at her and said, "I haven't taught you the exercises yet, you go up to deliver food to people, follow along first." ”

"Oh. Duanmu Rong nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.

"You go and pick up your mother-in-law up the mountain, Xiao Wang, you also hurry up and exercise, don't underestimate the enemy, otherwise our head talisman will have to be branded on the martial arts scroll of the bronze bone gate, don't let me be embarrassed." Lin Chen explained to the two of them.

Wang Xinchan smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Can you change your name?"

"Lao Wang?"

“......”

Looking at Wang Xinchan's figure leaving with a bit of gloom, Lin Chen glanced at Duanmu Rong again, Duanmu Rong suddenly understood, stuck out his tongue, and immediately said, "I'll go now." Then he turned and left, and went down the mountain.

Chu Wu and Wu Yan were a little helpless when they saw that Senior Brother had left, but they also knew that it was better not to delay Senior Brother practicing at this critical time.

The two returned to the field and continued their respective exercises.

Lin Chen looked at the two of them, thought about it for a while, and prepared to formulate a strict cultivation plan for them, striving to make their strength grow in the next half month.

It's noon.

Duanmu Rong helped an elderly figure with gray hair up the mountain, an old woman in a coarse cloth shirt, and the two of them carried a basket of vegetables in their hands.

Lin Chen, who was sitting on the martial arts training ground while practicing internal skills and supervising Chu Wu and Wu Yan's training, heard the movement in front of the hillside, looked up, and his eyes suddenly fell on this old woman, but he didn't expect that there was really an old woman taking care of Duanmu Rong.

He stared slightly, and saw a blood-colored panel appear on the old woman's body.

"Is it really a human?" Lin Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect a human to get along so harmoniously with the demons.

This old woman's attributes are weaker than ordinary people's physique, she is a normal old woman, the worry in Lin Chen's heart suddenly disappeared, he got up and rushed over to help carry vegetables.

"Thank you, young man. When the old woman saw Lin Chen coming to help, she didn't shirk it, let go of the vegetable basket in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Where is your boss, I have to thank him well." ”

"I am. Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be polite, grandma, come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

"Who are you?" the old woman was a little surprised, she didn't expect this head to be so young, she looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a young man!"

Lin Chen greeted her politely, and then helped her to the side of the martial arts training ground.

At this time, Chu Wu and Wu Yan also stopped practicing martial arts, and they saw that this old woman seemed to be Duanmu Rong's relative, and when Duanmu Rong introduced this as her grandmother, she immediately called her grandmother obediently.

Lin Chen put down the vegetable basket and led the two to his hut, so that Chu Wu and Wu Yan could continue to practice and not relax.

After entering the house, Lin Chen helped the old woman to sit down on the only chair in the room, and then he retreated to sit on the bed, and said, "You are the mother-in-law who took care of her that Duanmu Rong said, right?"

The kind smile on the old woman's face was slightly retracted, she looked at Lin Chen, and said, "That's right, Rong Rong was brought up by my wife, I heard her say, you already know her situation?"

Lin Chen glanced at Duanmu Rong and saw that there was no worry on her face, so he said, "So it seems that you also know that she is an evil demon?" Previously, he was worried that Duanmu Rong had temporarily found it to make up the numbers, but now it doesn't seem like this.

Seeing Lin Chen directly say the word 'demon', the corners of the old woman's mouth twitched a little unnaturally, but she quickly returned to normal.

She glanced at Lin Chen deeply and said, "It seems that Rong Rong is right, you know her situation, but you don't seem to be afraid or care?"

Lin Chen spread his hands slightly, and said with a wry smile: "How can you not care, it's just that the matter has come to this point, it's useless to care, right?"

The old woman's eyes flickered, and she said, "It seems that you are indeed a little different from other people, aren't you afraid of evil demons, or do you not know how terrible evil demons are?"

When she said this, Duanmu Rong's face next to her changed slightly, she lowered her head, her fingers stirring her clothes, a little nervous and apprehensive.

"Of course I do. Lin Chen said without thinking: "I have also heard about the evil demons, if you are crazy, you will kill everyone yourself, you don't have to test me, if I was really afraid, I would have already reported to the Holy Guard." ”

The old woman frowned slightly, and looked at him with some puzzlement, "Do you know how big a crime it is to harbor evil spirits?"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, this is not what you provoked.

He didn't bother to entangle with her on these issues, and said bluntly: "I asked Duanmu Rong to take you up the mountain, first, I want to see if she lied, and second, I want to know if she and her mother have done anything hurtful, and what is the situation of the murder in the town?"

The old woman showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, nodded and said: "This is similar to what I guessed, you are one of the few people who are not hostile to evil spirits, I believe that you have no ill will towards Rong Rong, as for Rong Rong, she is the purest and kindest child in the world, those murders, although they are related to her, were all killed by her mother, and those people are all damned people!"

Speaking of this, her face showed a bit of gritted hatred.

"How the hell?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

The old woman glanced at him, was slightly silent, and said, "This matter is a long story, if you really want to say it, you have to start with Rong Rong's mother." ”

"I want to hear about it. Lin Chen said, if he didn't understand this matter clearly, he couldn't feel at ease.

"Many years ago. The old woman looked at her with a hint of traceability, and said slowly: "At that time, Rong Rong's mother was still a young lady from a rich family, she was smart since she was a child, and she was a well-known talented girl, and she had never experienced any hardships in her life, and she had never even done a little rough work. ”

"After getting married, I also lived a healthy and happy life, without worrying about food and clothing. ”

"Until one day. She paused, her face was much gloomy, and said: "Miss suddenly couldn't eat, and wanted to vomit when she ate, at first we were very happy, thinking that Miss was pregnant, and hurriedly invited Langzhong to take a look, but found that it was not." ”

"It's the beginning of a nightmare!"

"Just when we couldn't find the reason, suddenly, one afternoon, the young lady suddenly overflowed with blood all over her body, which frightened the aunt who was with her at that time. ”

And then ...... Then the young lady pounced on one of the maids and drained the maid's blood. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman and Duanmu Rong's bodies were trembling slightly, obviously this was a past that they didn't want to look back.

Lin Chen was slightly silent, faintly predicting what would happen next.

After sucking the blood, the young lady regained consciousness, and the blood on her body was gone, but this incident frightened the uncle, and he immediately went to report to the divine court, saying that the young lady was an evil demon. ”

"I'm Miss's wet nurse, Miss grew up eating my milk, I can't watch her being arrested by the Divine Court like this, so I took Miss out of my aunt's house and took a boat to another place. ”

Not long after the young lady left her uncle, she found out that she was pregnant, and then gave birth to Rongrong. ”

"The three of us depend on each other, wandering in various places, the young lady is afraid that she will lose control, so she hides in the township place, and is so hungry that she can't bear it, so she drinks chicken blood and pig blood, if she has no money to buy it, and she is so hungry that she can't do it, she will throw us off and run alone into the mountains and forests, and when her ability is out of control, she will hunt and kill those wild beasts and suck their blood. ”

The old woman looked up at Lin Chen and said, "Miss has never wanted to hurt others, but along the way, people see that their mother and daughter are helpless, and they see me as an old woman, bullying us everywhere, blackmailing us, and even doing more excessive things." ”

"We came to this town, I wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, I also found manual work, which can provide food and drink for Miss and Rong Rong, Miss can also embroider and sell money, and save money for Rong Rong's private school tuition, our life was originally very stable, but I met those people......"

Speaking of this, there was an angry glint in her eyes, and she said: "These people who are inferior to beasts, they are worried about Miss's beauty, they make trouble in every way, rob us of our money, and force us into desperation, Miss, she really can't bear the humiliation, so she killed them with her ability." ”

If it weren't for the old woman, I would have killed them with a thousand knives, ten thousand knives!"

She gritted her teeth and her face was full of resentment.

Lin Chen looked at her silently and did not speak.

Judging from the other party's expressions and words, it doesn't look like lying, he can almost imagine how difficult it is for a rich lady with ten fingers to touch the spring water, with an infant daughter and an old mother!

He exhaled lightly and said, "I know, I don't need to say it anymore." ”

The air in the room became a little oppressive.

Lin Chen got up and pushed open the window, looked at the two active figures on the practice ground outside, and was silent for a moment before he said, "You guys stay here for the time being, I don't have anything else here, eat, drink and be full." ”

The old woman was stunned, stared at him, and said, "You have to think about it carefully." ”

Lin Chen turned around, his face had already returned to a casual smile, and said, "If I drive you away, wouldn't it be more dangerous for me if you were caught by the Divine Court?"

Duanmu Rong clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, stared at him tightly, and said, "Even if I am arrested, I will not say anything about the master!"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly: "I said this, as if I have already been in the same stream with you, go and prepare, I will officially teach you to practice in the afternoon." ”

Duanmu Rong had a smile on her face and nodded heavily, "I will definitely work hard!"
