Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Dark Cloud Zone

Mai Jiu pressed Xiaohu's neck and pushed and dragged him towards the rocky road.

Xiaohu was very reluctant, he didn't want his father to know that he was causing trouble outside, and let people come to the house.

As soon as she walked into the rocky road, a woman who came out to pour muddy water saw the two Xiaohu walking on the stone road, and looked at the woman behind Xiaohu who pushed him forward, she threw down the barrel and ran over.

The woman dragged Xiaohu behind her, glared at Mai Jiu angrily and asked, "What are you doing with this child?" ”

"Huh?" Mai Jiu was stunned at first, and then explained, "I am not abducting children. ”

The woman protected the little tiger behind her tighter, and the little tiger also dragged the corner of the woman's clothes.

Mai Jiu bent his knees and looked at Xiaohu with a smile: "Is my sister a bad person?" ”

The woman dragged Xiaohu in front of her, pressed her hand on Xiaohu's shoulder, squatted down, and asked, "You tell your aunt, are you causing trouble outside again?" ”

Xiaohu was so ashamed that he wanted to hide his face in his chest, and he nodded solemnly.

After receiving the answer, the woman stood up and looked at Mai Jiu again, she looked the person in front of her up and down, and said, "Look at you, don't get along with a child if you are richly dressed." ”

Mai Jiu tilted his neck with a question mark on his face and asked, "Eldest sister, you are too morally kidnapped, right?" ”

The woman smiled embarrassedly, she protected Xiaohu beside her and continued, "Xiaohu's family is in a special situation, his father is a drunkard who beats him day and night, and his mother is sick again, no way, you see that you don't remember the villain, spare him this time." ”

Mai Jiu took Xiaohu's hand and wanted to drag him over, but the woman also started to pull when she saw this action, and Xiaohu was dragged back and forth by the two of them.

Mai Jiu looked at the woman and said, "I'm here to save him, and if I can, I'm willing to pay money to save his mother." ”

Hearing this, the woman let go of the hand holding Xiaohu, and Xiaohu suddenly fell into Mai Jiu's arms.

"You see you said earlier, you are really beautiful and kind, come on, I'll take you there."

Mai Jiu looked at the woman in front of her and laughed together, she squatted down and looked at Xiaohu and said, "Sister said it, I came to see if I came to complain, why don't you believe it?" ”

Xiaohu kept his head down and didn't speak, and the woman saw that Xiaohu didn't answer and said, "It's because he was scared by his father, no one cares about him at a young age, so he was freed on the street, and our neighbors will take care of it when they see it, if they don't pay attention, the child is estimated to not be able to eat for a day." ”

Xiaohu nodded.

Mai Jiu stood up, and the woman continued, "His father, it's not a thing, he doesn't care about Xiaohu Niang, he doesn't invite Langzhong, and he doesn't go to get medicine, he thinks that Xiaohu Niang will die sooner so that he can buy a daughter-in-law." Pity our little tigers. ”

The woman touched Xiaohu's head: "Our Xiaohu is not bad-hearted, and it is also for his mother, he can't just watch his mother leave him." ”

"Xiaohu, my sister will go and see your mother's situation, and then invite a man for your mother."

Hearing this, Xiaohu finally raised his head happily, leaked a mouthful of small teeth, and smiled.

The Third House of the Imperial Palace

"Lord Wang, my subordinates went to several villages in the Northern Desert, and only after meeting some old people did they find out about this tribe."

"Today's people have long forgotten that this tribe has been in the Northern Desert for a long time, and it is a tribe that will be terrified when they hear it."

Sang Huaian frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Legend has it that during the period of Emperor Huangwu, this tribe had raised troops to invade Da'an, but after losing the battle and fled back to the Northern Desert, Emperor Huangwu once wanted to subdue this tribe but has not succeeded."

"Later, it was rumored that this tribe had lost its trace in the sandstorm again, and I don't know if the descendants of this tribe are fulfilling the last wishes of their ancestors, or if someone is doing whatever they want in the name of this tribe."

At this time, the official Shangshu hurriedly ran in.

"Lord Wang, find out what you want, please move and follow the officials."

Sang Huai'an stood up, looked at Shen Qianyue and said, "Let's talk about these things back to the palace, the top priority is to find out the connection between these three people and the tribe first, this is definitely not a simple indiscriminate killing." ”

The woman first pretended to go to the door to inquire about the news to see if Xiaohu's father was at home.

Mai Jiu and Xiaohu hid around the corner and watched the woman walk into the courtyard, and it didn't take long for the woman to trot all the way to the door and make a wave gesture.

Mai Jiu pulled Xiaohu to look left and right like a thief, and when he saw that there was no one, the two of them ran into the courtyard.

The woman looked around, and seeing that there was no one, she stepped backwards over the threshold and locked the wooden door tightly.

As soon as he came to the house, Mai Jiu was really shocked by the scene in front of him, the house was surrounded by four walls, and there was only a wooden table and two stools in the house.

The woman walked in and observed Mai Jiu's expression, she sighed and said, "Alas, it's not Xiaohu's father, who sells and repays debts." ”

Mai Jiu looked around and asked, "What about the?" ”

The woman lifted her feet and walked towards the back room, and she gently pushed open the door and said "Here we are." ”

Mai Jiu saw the person lying on the bed board in the room through the crack in the door, she raised her foot and leaned closer, the person in the room was pale, without any color, lying on the bed board on this scorching summer day was like... Vampire general.

The woman also looked through the crack in the door: "His mother only had spots on her body at the beginning, and she also went to see Lang Zhong and drank a few flavors of Chinese medicine but it didn't get better, and then I rarely saw her go out during the day." ”

"I don't see much during the day, but... At night, oops. The woman said this, and she went on and on.

Mai Jiu hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

"At night, his mother screamed miserably, probably because of the little tiger father."

At this time, Xiaohu opened his mouth and said, "No, it's not..."

Mai Jiu and the two turned back in unison.

"My mother is sick and unbearable late at night, and my father has always hid and never returned."

Mai Jiu turned his head to look at the woman again: "In this way, you go and find a Lang Zhong for the little tiger girl, I want to hear what Lang Zhong said." ”

"Eh, okay, okay, I'll go." With that, the woman trotted out of the house.

Mai Jiu carefully closed the door to the back room, she walked to the table and wiped the stool and sat down.

She looked at Xiaohu and asked softly, "You tell me about your mother's condition, okay?" ”

Xiaohu nodded, moved his body and got a little closer: "My mother has been sick for a month or two, at first my mother was spotty, but later found that the longer she went out, the larger the area of exposed skin spots, and then my mother didn't dare to go out." ”

"And then?" Mai Jiu frowned and asked.

Xiaohu picked at his clothes with his hands, and his tone was low: "My mother... She now sleeps during the day and wakes up at night, and only at night can she go out of the yard to move, my dad said... My dad said my mother was a monster, and every time my mother woke up, he would hide out. ”

After speaking, Xiaohu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pretended to be strong.

Mai Jiu patted Xiaohu's shoulder with his hand and comforted, "Since this disease exists, it can be cured." ”

While gently patting Xiaohu on the shoulder, Mai Jiu thought back to what he had just heard.

I can't go out during the day for fear of seeing the sun, and my face is still so pale, I won't... Is it really a vampire, an Eastern vampire? Oh my God, such an evil sect...

Mai Jiu shook her head and kicked out the thoughts in her head, as a new new woman who is a ghostless theist in the 21st century, she actually believes that there are really vampires in the world?!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a chill on her back, and she suddenly turned around and found that there was nothing.

She shuddered and looked around, and suddenly she felt that the inside of the hut was eerie.

The sudden sound of the door opening startled Mai Jiuyi, and the two people in the house hurriedly looked, afraid that it was the little tiger father who came back, but fortunately it was just the woman who went out to look for Langzhong just now.

Mai Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to greet him.

An old man with a long beard, carrying a medicine box, was pushed in by the woman behind him.

Mai Jiu saw the old man's reluctant eyes.

The old man said in a thick local accent: "The old man said, don't shout about anything, the world is not safe recently, why don't you just knock on the door of the old man's house, you are scared to death." ”

"I'm just telling you to take a look, what's wrong? You're a Langzhong. ”

"The old man knows, and the old man didn't say anything." After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the back room.

Everyone followed the old man in.

The old man sat on the edge of the bed and checked the situation of the little tiger girl: "There is no change, it is still the same as before, the pigmentation has not gone down at all, and the face is like this, this kind of strange old man has not seen it for many years, you say it is weird or not." ”

Mai Jiu hurriedly asked, "Is there really no cure?" ”

"If you really want to save her, you should go back to the Skeleton Sect to try your luck, maybe one day you will meet an elder who will go out and say a few kind words for the elder to show her."

Mai Jiuyi heard the head of the Hui Sect spinning rapidly, thinking about something.

Seeing that no one accosted him, the old man explained, "It's not that the old man doesn't save him, the old man is just a little Langzhong, and he doesn't have that much ability, I see you..."

"The old man sees that you are a big family, and the trust relationship is to find the remnants of the pie, I think you have no problem."

The old man stood up and pulled the medicine box belt: "The old man is gone, the old man's tea is only half drunk, hurry back to drink the tea." "Turn.

Mai Jiu hurriedly stopped, she took out her money bag and said, "It's hard for you to make such a trip, I'll give you some silver." ”

The old man squeezed Mai Jiu's hand: "The old man is a Langzhong, and he didn't help much, so he was embarrassed to ask for silver." ”

Mai Jiu was stunned, and just pinched the silver in the money bag in her hand, and when she heard this, she had to put the silver down again.

"Okay, okay, old man let's go." After speaking, the old man strode forward without looking back.

Mai Jiu looked at Xiaohu who had been standing aside, she walked to Xiaohu and squatted down and said, "Sister, I just happened to know someone from the Hui Sect, can my sister help you ask?" ”

After Xiaohu heard this, tears fell down: "Sister, are you telling the truth?" My mother isn't a monster, is she? My mother's illness is saved! ”

Mai Jiu nodded.

Xiaohu wiped his tears with his cuffs, and forced himself to leak a smile.

Sang Huai'an looked through a lot of information, and finally found out that the one related to the three of them was Pine Academy, all three of them had studied in Pine Academy, and they were the same year name.
