After lunch, the wedding time was set, and the family returned to Aunt Cheng's house, and it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when they got home.

Xiahoudun glanced at his watch and asked Chen Xuan: "What time does primary school usually end now?" ”

"That's it," Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday at about this time, elementary school students were playing outside. ”

Xiahoudun nodded, and opened the door, wanting to see if Aunt Liu's grandson had returned. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a little boy in a school uniform who looked to be seven or eight years old knocking on Aunt Liu's door.

"You're Yangyang, right?" Xiahoudun stepped forward and asked.

"yes." Yang Yang raised his head and looked at Xiahoudun and asked curiously, "Do you know me?" Who are you? ”

At this time, Aunt Liu's door opened, and Aunt Liu came out of it and said, "It's all here?" Let's get started. ”

Aunt Liu's wife, Uncle Ma, also walked out of the house, looked at Xiahoudun, and asked, "This is the master who exorcises evil spirits for Yangyang?" ”

"Yes," Aunt Liu said, "Xiaoyun's son-in-law next door, a real master, is very powerful." ”

When Xiahoudun heard the word "master", he almost didn't laugh out loud, but he understood the old man's wording in his heart, so he just smiled and didn't speak.

As soon as Yang Yang heard the "exorcism", he immediately became unhappy, and he said a little angrily: "Who wants to exorcise evil spirits? I've said I'm not evil. ”

"And you said you didn't fall for evil?" Aunt Liu took Yangyang's arm and said, "You can't talk to the air?" ”

"That's the River Demon! Will be invisible! That's me talking to Sheng Nu and Sheng Huan, they want to find Mom and Dad. After Yang Yang finished speaking, he shook his arm and ran downstairs.

"You come back to me!" Uncle Ma shouted angrily, and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun smiled and said, "Don't be angry, uncle and aunt, I'll go downstairs and have a look." ”

Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly said to Xiahoudun: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to let you see the joke, this kid is too mixed." ”

Xiahoudun smiled and did not speak. He waved his hand and headed downstairs.

Out of the door of the building, I came to the weeds behind the building that are not often visited, and I saw Yangyang here.

Xiahoudun did not step forward to stop Yangyang, but observed from a distance. He saw a boy and a girl standing in front of Yang Yang. Both children are humanoid, except that the eyes are pure blue, with no distinction between the whites and kernels of the eyes, and there are also less obvious gills-like organs on the cheeks. Although the boy is not tall, he looks very strong, he has no clothes on his upper body, and only a pair of cropped pants on his lower body, standing straight and talking to Yangyang; The girl, dressed in a loli dress, shyly hides behind the boy and listens to their conversation with her head down.

"Run, my grandmother is looking for a Taoist priest to arrest you again!" Yang Yang said anxiously.

"But where can we hide?" The river demon boy said with a depressed face, "Anyway, they didn't catch us when they came before. ”

"This time it's different." Yang Yang said: "Listen to my grandmother say that this time is amazing. ”

The river demon boy lowered his head, his body trembled a little, "Only if you fight with him, you will die if you run out and be caught by other humans." ”

"Brother, I'm afraid! Why did those humans get rid of us? The river demon girl shed ice-blue tears, she grabbed the river demon boy's hand, and said in a choked voice, "I miss mom and dad." ”

"Huanhuan is not afraid, there is a brother." The river demon boy took the river demon girl in his arms and stroked her hair.

Xiahoudun, who was watching from the side, turned on his mobile phone, looked at the message of the disappearance of the river demon he asked Xun You to send, smiled, and walked in front of the river demon brothers and sisters, pointed at the boy and said, "Your name is Sheng Fu, and this is your sister Sheng Huan next to you, right?" ”

"Who are you? How do you know? Sheng Nu stood in front of his sister, protected his sister with his hand, and glared at Xiahoudun and said.

As soon as Yang Yang saw Xiahoudun, he immediately shouted: "Run, it's him!" ”

When Sheng heard this, he nervously forgot what he had just said, "fight with him", picked up his sister and prepared to run, wanting to climb out of the community from the fence next to him. As soon as they got to the fence, they fell into the grass.

Xiahoudun hurriedly went over to look, it turned out to be a well without a manhole cover, blocked by weeds, he turned back to Yangyang and shouted: "You hurry home, let the adults take some ropes or sheets or curtains or something!" ”

Yang Yang looked stupidly from the side, a little overwhelmed, "What if grandparents don't believe me?" ”

"If you don't believe it, go find Grandma Cheng next door to you." With that, Xiahoudun jumped into the well.

There was a passage under the well, Xiahoudun looked around, and found the injured river demon brothers and sisters not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, "Are you okay?" ”

Sheng's leg was scratched and his head was broken, but he was strong and did not cry, but looked at Xiahoudun with vigilance. Sheng Huan on the side was not injured, but he cried there and shouted: "Dad! Mom! ”

This cry didn't matter, the cry echoed in the passage, bringing an accident. A few puddles of mud around the three of them turned into three human-like shapes, stood up, and moved towards them.

"Silt?" Xiahoudun looked at these filthy monsters who specialize in drinking water creatures, and was a little surprised, "Why are there here?" ”

"It's a slurt!" Sheng Nu didn't care about the injury on his leg, he looked around and found that all the passages were blocked by iron fences, so he stomped his foot in front of Sheng Huan, and shouted angrily, "I'm fighting with you!" ”

"Spell what?" Xiahoudun blocked his anger with his hand, smiled at him, and walked towards the three silt spirits.

Xiahoudun stepped forward, stabbed one of the silt spirits in the throat with one of them, and flung it to the side, and the silt spirit turned back into a mud flat and fell to the ground. He teleported again, moving behind the other two Silt Spirits, and no one could see what he had done, and the two Silt Spirits disappeared in an instant.

"That's amazing!" Sheng Fu on the side looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.

Xiahoudun turned around and walked towards the river demon brothers and sisters, "Let's go, I'll take you to find your parents." ”

As soon as Xiahoudun's words fell, a figure jumped down from the well. Xiahoudun saw that it was actually a male adult river demon, with a height of two meters and a strong physique.

"Daddy!" When the river demon brother and sister saw the adult river demon, they happily hugged it.

The adult river demon squatted down and hugged the two children, cried with joy, and said in a choked voice: "Great, you guys are okay, great." ”

Xiahoudun looked at this warm scene, thinking that the task had been completed, smiled happily, and looked at the high wellhead, waiting for someone to help them go up.

After the adult river demon comforted the two children, he turned around and walked towards Xiahoudun, wiped his tears, and said excitedly: "May I ask you are the leader of Xiahou, right?" ”

"Exactly down there." Xiahoudun responded.

The river demon was probably too surprised, and his voice trembled even more: "I am the father of two children, and my name is Sheng Youtian. Thank you very much. ”

"Mr. Sheng doesn't need to say thank you, this is what we should do." Xiahoudun said with a smile.

"Master, are you in there?" It seemed to be Aunt Liu's voice from the well, and then a rope made of curtains was lowered from above.

Xiahoudun smiled slightly, grabbed the rope, and said to Sheng Youtian: "Mr. Sheng, take the child up." ”

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Youtian picked up the two children, jumped up, and returned to the ground.

"It seems that I was overly worried...... Seeing this, Xiahoudun shook his head with a wry smile, and only lightly relied on the rope to teleport and return to the ground. He looked around and saw that Aunt Liu, her wife and Yang Yang were all there, and in addition to Sheng Youtian's side, there was also an adult female river demon, who must be Mr. Sheng's wife.

"There are really children here, look at it." Aunt Liu spoke, leaning down to look at the angry Sheng Huan brother and sister, "These eyes are still blue." ”

"Look at it, this is the river demon, a spirit animal that lives in the water." Xia Houdun began to tell Aunt Liu, "In the process of exploring nature, human beings will find many creatures that we don't know, they share the ecology with us, we are all equal, some of our unknown creatures may exist on this planet for much longer than humans, we should treat them well, not hurt or discriminate against them." Let's talk about the silt spirits I just saw in the well, they are alien spirits created by a large amount of non-degradable garbage buried in the soil, it seems that we should also take care of the environment in ordinary times. ”

"Look at it," Aunt Liu gave Xiahoudun a thumbs up and looked at Uncle Ma, "I said that people are masters of exorcism." ”

"Hey, you old lady," Uncle Ma said at once, "why are you still 'exorcising'?" ”

"Yes," Aunt Liu looked at everyone, "It's to drive away the 'evil' in our hearts!" ”

As soon as Aunt Liu's words fell, everyone laughed happily.

The matter at Aunt Liu's house was settled in this way, and Xiahoudun also returned to Aunt Cheng's house and stayed there for dinner. During dinner, the family chatted about life and work.

"You also handled the incident on Beiqingshan Road last time, right?" Chen Ming put down his chopsticks and asked Xiahoudun.

"Well, I'm going to handle it." Xiahoudun added a chopstick dish and said, "It's really miserable, the family of three is gone." The boy was not yet ten years old. ”

"Where's the child? Are we talking about the same thing? Chen Ming said in a mocking tone: "I'm talking about the incident on Beiqingshan Road, which is the one that is said to be 'a terrible ghost'." ”

"That's what I'm talking about." Xiahoudun glanced at Chen Ming and said, "I remember that one thing very clearly. ”

"What," Chen Ming left his seat and rummaged through a stack of old newspapers not far away, "I'll find it for you." ”

"What are you looking for, I have a record here, three people were killed, an adult male, an adult female and a boy." Xia Houdun said as he took out his mobile phone and opened the office client. And when he opened the file for that day, he found that it read, "Two people were killed: one adult male and one adult female." ”

Xiahoudun looked at the mobile phone screen stupidly, he couldn't believe his eyes, he clearly remembered that the scene of the boy getting out of the back seat in that video material, the scene of discussing the transfer of the body with Xun Yu at the scene, and the words "family of three" in the newspaper of the day.

Xiahoudun thought so, and Chen Ming also brought the newspaper at that time. Xiahoudun grabbed the newspaper and looked at the news of that day, which read, "A murder case occurred on Beiqingshan Road, the vehicle was intact, and the husband and wife were cut in half next to their own car."
