Xing Ruyi walked to the window, gently pushed the window open, and looked out through the gap.

A lantern swayed in the night breeze towards Su Niang's boudoir.

Listening to the footsteps, it seemed that there was only one person, but when I looked again, I clearly saw two shadows. Walking in front was a young man of the same height as the black-robed man, and followed by an old man who could not see his eyebrows clearly and walked a little hobbly.

"That's your uncle?"

Xing Ruyi asked, lowered the window, and looked at Xiaohuan's face.

Xiaohuan nodded nervously. "That's right, it's our aunt. Usually, if my uncle comes to see Miss, it's basically at this time. ”

Su Niang nodded, indicating that what Xiaohuan said was true.

"Who's the one that's following him?"

"Butler! The new housekeeper in the house. The uncle said it was a distant relative of his. The master is gone, and the young lady can't do everything, so most of the things in the house are decided by the uncle alone. Xiaohuan didn't seem to like the housekeeper very much, and there was some disgust in his words: "That person is old and ugly, and he is even more ghostly on weekdays, and everyone looks like that." On the contrary, my uncle just trusts him. ”

"Distant relatives, trust is natural." Xing Ruyi returned to the middle of the house: "Do you usually stay overnight when my uncle comes?" ”

Su Niang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at the black-robed man a little uncomfortably.

Although Xiaohuan was a little unaware, he could see Su Niang's face, and he was faintly aware of something, so he hurriedly blocked Su Niang's side, waved his hand and said, "No, no." Although my uncle came every day, he never stayed overnight. At first, it was the uncle himself who was unwilling, so the young lady had an argument with him, and even wondered if the uncle had someone else. Later, the young lady was unwilling, because of the matter of her uncle's forced stay, the young lady made trouble several times. Later, everyone seemed to acquiesce. ”

"What did you acquiesce to?"

"I tacitly agreed that my uncle and young lady were just a husband and wife on the surface."

"When he first came back, I mistook him for my father-in-law. He refused to touch me, or even to be alone with me, so I was naturally suspicious of anything else. Later, I learned about those things, and knew that he was not my father-in-law, and where was I willing to have those intimate acts with him. Fortunately, although others are fake, they have never forced me to do these things. In addition, over the years, I have been careful to guard against it, but I am safe. ”

"It's hard for you." The black-robed man looked at Su Niang guiltily.

Xiaohuan looked confused, turned her head to look at her young lady and asked, "What is fake, really." And Miss, who are they? ”

"I'll explain these things to you later. You go out and see where they've gone. Su Niang said, pushed Xiaohuan out of the room, then pushed open another window, pointed outside, and said, "This is the road to the backyard garden, you guys go out from here." ”

"Su Niang, don't worry, I'm here today to solve your affairs."

"Fix our business?"

"That's right, settle the matter between you and your husband."

Xing Ruyi smiled and gave the fox a look, and then the two of them walked to the door and directly opened the door generously. Outside the door, Xiaohuan was still desperately giving them a look. Xing Ruyi smiled slightly, said "Don't get in the way" and pushed Xiaohuan into the room.

The lantern fluttered and flickered, and it was about to come to it. Xing Ruyi tapped the fox on the shoulder and asked, "Is it human?" ”

"Inhuman!"

"Oh, that's a demon."

"It's a demon."

"Can you see what it is?"

"Snakes."

"Snakes?" Xing Ruyi suddenly thought of Xiaoqing in Yufang Building: "It's the same as Xiaoqing?" ”

"Nope! Xiaoqing is just a water snake, but this one in front of her is different. ”

"Oh, I see, it's a poisonous snake. And what about the distant relative who followed him? ”

"Cat demon."

"Snakes and cats." Xing Ruyi pinched his chin thoughtfully: "When these two things come together, it seems to make me think of something." ”

"What comes to mind?"

"Hutaozhai, the traces left on Liu Qingwei's coffin in Liu's tofu workshop and the sulfur stained on the wooden stick in front of Liu's shopkeeper's window. Also, Shopkeeper Liu said that on the night Liu Qingwei fell from the building, he had seen a monster, but obviously, that monster was not the black-robed man in front of us. Although he is half-human and half-demon, in addition to taking those medicines, part of the demonic energy on his body was given to him by that Xiaoqing privately. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have that much ability, but the fake uncle in front of him is very similar to the monster that Shopkeeper Liu said. You see, he's wearing a dark green robe tonight. ”

"My wife is not stupid."

"Nonsense." Xing Ruyi glanced at the fox: "Oh, how about one person?" It's been a long time since I've fought a youkai. ”

"Okay, the snake demon is mine, and the cat demon is yours."

"Why?"

"Because the cat demon's path is shallower, as for the snake demon, let's leave it to the husband."

“OK！”

Xing Ruyi made an OK gesture to the fox, and when he looked at it again, the fox was already entangled with the snake demon. No! It wasn't so much a grappling as a fox playing with the basilik and forcing him to reveal his true identity as soon as possible.

The cat demon carrying the lantern seemed to be a little entangled, on the one hand, he wanted to help his master, but on the other hand, he was thinking about whether to take down Xing Ruyi first. Cats are very spiritual. Just now, he had already seen Xing Ruyi standing with the fox, and he also smelled the powerful power emanating from the fox, and he knew very well in his heart that his master was not the fox's opponent. At the moment, it seems that only by subduing Xing Ruyi can the master's dilemma be solved.

"How? Do you have an answer in mind? Xing Ruyi hooked his finger at the cat demon: "Oh, let's declare first, I haven't fought for a long time, if it starts later, you have to let me do a little." ”

As soon as the words fell, the cat demon meowed and pounced. Xing Ruyi squinted and stood, but heard the screams of Xiaohuan and Su Niang from the room behind him.

Before the cat demon pounced on her, she quickly turned around and said to the black-robed man: "Close the doors and windows, be careful to frighten your lady." In addition, let your maid be quiet, this scene, is it possible that you still want the whole house to come and watch. ”

The black-robed man didn't respond, but his hands and feet quickly pulled Su Niang and Xiaohuan to the other side of the room, and then quickly closed the doors and windows.

The cat's paw grabbed Xing Ruyi's ear, Xing Ruyi snorted twice, looked at the cat demon's eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's you!" Can you tell me, what do you want to do when you pull Liu Qingwei's coffin? Could it be that you also have any special fetishes? ”

"If you win me, I'll tell you, meow~"

"It's like calling Chun'er, it's really ugly."

Xing Ruyi said, instantly awakening the powerful ghost power hidden in his body, and then grabbed the neck of the cat demon, forcing him to show the appearance of a black cat in an instant.

"You're from the underworld?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not!"

Xing Ruyi said, pinching the cat demon's neck hard. To be honest, she didn't expect that she would be able to make such a smooth move, and she would curb the key point of the cat demon at once. Originally, she just wanted to clasp his shoulders and control the speed at which he attacked her. Unexpectedly, this is an old cat that is useless, seemingly dangerous, but in fact it has little ability.

She regretted a little, regretting that she had given up the snake demon to the fox, so that she could not even fight well.

"Alright, I've already beaten you, can you tell me the answer now?"

After the cat demon meowed a few times, he hung his head in a decadent manner.

"I was originally just a wild cat, and I usually hid in the Liu family's tofu factory, and lived by finding some food in the tofu factory. But the two-story building of the Liu family seems to be different from other places, and there is a very strange energy there that always attracts me. Later, as time went on, I realized that I was a little different from other cats. ”

"That's because the two-story building of Liu's tofu workshop was tampered with, and someone buried a dead cat downstairs, which changed the feng shui pattern of the entire Liu family. You, just happen to be affected. ”

"I'm just a wild cat, and I know what you're talking about, and I only know that those forces have an unusually strong attraction for me. But then, I found something even better. ”

"Liu Qingwei's corpse?"

"Yes, it's the girl's corpse. I felt that the energy contained in her was stronger, so I wanted to get close to her. ”

"And then?"

"Then I met the master, who brought me here and gave me the ability to transform into a human."

"And what about your master?" Xing Ruyi pouted: "Do you know why he hid in Hutaozhai?" ”

"Why should I tell you?" The cat demon struggled for a moment.

"Because you don't have a choice." Xing Ruyi tightened his hand: "You can choose to be loyal to your master, but in the next second, you will become a completely dead cat." Also, when a cat also knows how to judge the situation, if you look at your owner, he will soon become just like you. ”

The cat demon struggled to look in the direction of the snake demon and lowered his head: "I only know that the master is injured and needs to recuperate, and I don't know anything else." ”

"Hurt?" Xing Ruyi squinted, "Well, it looks like he's injured." ”

"I've already said what I need to say, can you let me go?"

"If you think about it carefully, I can't tell, there are still things you have forgotten and not said." Xing Ruyi's hand loosened slightly, giving the cat demon a chance to breathe.

The cat demon's eyes rolled twice, and then said, "My master may have been a Taoist priest before he was injured, because when he took me away from Liu's house, he went directly to a Taoist temple. It's just that the Taoist temple is quite dilapidated, and there are no living little Taoist priests in it. Also, in the master's room, I once saw a portrait of the hostess. ”

"Portrait of the hostess?" Xing Ruyi glanced at the room behind him.

"It's Madame's, and the portrait of Madame when she hasn't been out of the cabinet yet."
