Chapter 29: Demon Fruit
The doorbell was still ringing rapidly, but there was no movement in the door. Mrs. Xu looked at the small building block tower in front of her, her expression was a little sluggish, and the disappearance of Chengen and Dew suddenly made her heart empty, as if she had drained her mental strength. After a while, Mrs. Xu slowly got up from the carpet and shouted out the door: "Come, come!" ”
Hearing this voice, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, and the swirling air flow in her palm also dissipated. When the door opened, Mrs. Xu was still so radiant, and no amount of wrinkles could hide her spirit. She is always like this, using her life to hide the vulnerability in her heart, but everyone knows that she is not really strong.
The nurse stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand, her palms and fingers touched, and the layers of calluses rubbed the nurse's heart. "Grandma, what happened to you just now? Why hasn't the door been open for so long? The nurse looked a little anxious, but her gaze had already passed through Mrs. Xu's graceful figure and landed in the house.
Mrs. Xu's eyes were dizzy, so she naturally couldn't find the clues, so she just scared the nurse by herself, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, my stomach was a little uncomfortable just now, and I ate too greasy yesterday." The nurse looked at Mrs. Xu's unnatural look, and she didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't expose it: "Whew...... That's okay, just take some antidiarrheal medicine if your stomach is upset, I thought something happened to you, it scared me to death. ”
"Eh, your grandma and I are tough! By the way, why are you here? Mrs. Xu asked rhetorically.
The nurse supported Mrs. Xu and entered the house, Zhang Yue followed slowly behind, and when the door was closed, he looked back at the big tree that opened the green screen in the white winter snow. Mrs. Xu beckoned the two to sit down, and one of them poured a cup of hot tea.
Holding the hot tea, the nurse's cold hand also had a little more warmth, but the coldness in her eyes could not dissipate, and the faint demonic aura still remained in this room, which made her a little irritable. "Grandma, are you going back to your hometown tomorrow? On this snowy day, how inconvenient it is for you to go back alone, or will I accompany you with the moon? ”
Zhang Yue also helped echo: "Yes, grandma, my sister and I will take good care of you." ”
The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth twitched awkwardly, and the smile she hooked was stiff: "No... No need, grandma, I'm not that old, I can do it alone, I'm not afraid. There are some clan affairs in my hometown, and it is inconvenient and unruly to bring outsiders there. ”
"It's the twenty-first century...... muttered the nurse.
Mrs. Xu glared at the nurse and whispered, "Eh! Don't talk nonsense, the rules of the ancestors, what do you know. ”
The nurse spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, we don't understand...... Then we'll come over with you today, okay? You didn't say you weren't available today. ”
Mrs. Xu didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to smile awkwardly, and talked with the nurse. Zhang Yue sat aside and drank tea quietly, her black and white pupils quietly moving, looking for the source along the trace of demonic energy, but to no avail. The demonic aura was very light and very miscellaneous, and he even saw a human breath from it, such a chaotic aura, Zhang Yue had already dissipated before he could analyze it.
In desperation, Zhang Yue had no choice but to concentrate and carefully perceive every corner of the house, so that she was a little distracted, and she didn't even hear Mrs. Xu's call. "Stay in the moon, stay in the moon, what do you want? So fascinating? Mrs. Xu gently patted Zhang Yue's shoulder, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Zhang Yue came back to her senses, quickly sat down, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I was accidentally in a daze just now." ”
"It's really a moon, this kid...... Have you eaten lunch here, what do you want to eat? Mrs. Xu asked with a smile.
Zhang Yue glanced at the nurse, the two looked at each other, and they both had a plan in their hearts. "Then you're welcome!" Zhang Yue said a little playfully.
Mrs. Xu patted Zhang Yue on the head, and went to the kitchen with a smile. Looking at Mrs. Xu's back, the nurse's eyes were a little deep: "What happened?" ”
Zhang Yue shook her head and said, "The breath is too light, and I don't see it." Grandma doesn't seem to be in trouble, though. ”
The nurse said coldly: "It's best that everything will be fine in the future." Let's get here today. After saying that, the air flow around the nurse seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then quietly dispersed. Zhang Yue also withdrew her soul power and tasted tea leisurely. Seeing this, the nurse got up and grabbed Zhang Yue's collar and said, "Go!" Go help! ”
A simple lunch, commonplace. It is precisely because it is ordinary that it seems unusual. Mrs. Xu silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, with a mechanical smile on her face, as if she had painted it, and she was not very angry. Such a smile was drawn on the face of the kind-hearted Mrs. Xu, which looked out of place.
The wet nurse wanted to know what happened to the poor old man, but she was powerless in the face of the old man's concealment. The two didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Mrs. Xu, and left.
Walking out the door, the snow had already stopped, leaving a world of white, and the sun was falling, glowing with a little silver. The nurse walked a little irritably, her pace was slightly faster, and the footprints left on the snow were much deeper than usual, which should not be her steps. Zhang Yue followed behind slowly, not in a hurry or impatient, but no one knew the complexity of his heart.
Sitting in the taxi, the nurse glanced indifferently at Zhang Yue who was sitting beside her, the black and white light in the depths of her eyes flowed, and Zhang Yue's body and mind slowly faded into nothingness, "Bored." "The nurse didn't look over her head at the scenery outside the car window, and unconsciously fell into a trance.
Zhang Yue stood at the door of Mrs. Xu's house, looking at the evergreen tree. The huge canopy is stretched out, and a puff of snow is spread on the top, white and shiny, but what falls into Zhang Yue's eyes is only green, even the snow white in the sky can't hide the green, that kind of vitality, in this cold winter wax moon is particularly distinct.
What is strange is that in such vigorous vitality, no life is born, it seems that all vitality is maintaining that turquoise, and there is no energy to bloom a flower and bear a fruit. "Is there really no fruit?" Zhang Yue muttered, hiding his figure in the snow, as if he had never appeared, but his gaze was still on the tree, calm and calm.
……
Mrs. Xu stood by the window, looking at the back of the nurse and Zhang Yue, silently lowered her head, and quietly hid her flickering eyes, for fear of being seen in the depths of her eyes.
Behind her, two pink and tender fruits jumped up from the ground, jumped to the windowsill, and rolled towards Mrs. Xu. The fruit is pink and the size of a fist, like a small baby sleeping with squinting eyes.
Mrs. Xu looked at these two fruits, and the gloom in her eyes swept away, and all that poured out was longing and kindness.
"Morning roots, dew flowers ......"
In the call, the fruit flashed with pink brilliance, and two pink-carved babies crawled out of the brilliance, with an idiotic smile on their faces, and they were cute and cute. Chen Gen used his hands and feet at the same time, crawled into Mrs. Xu's arms, his little face rubbed against her red cotton jacket, and two touches of crimson appeared on his cheeks.
Luhua flattened her mouth and looked at the younger brother with some grievances, which was very unpleasant. Mrs. Xu looked at the awkward dew and said with a smile: "Sister, I always have to let my brother go." While speaking, Mrs. Xu stepped forward with Chengen in her arms and took Luhua in her arms.
The two sisters and brothers were laughing in Mrs. Xu's arms, and the crisp laughter lingered in Mrs. Xu's ears, seeping into her heart, causing her to laugh non-stop. The wrinkles on his face unfolded with the smile on the corner of his mouth, and at that moment, it gave people the illusion that this 80-year-old man was suddenly younger.
The three of them, like a family, circulate with unique warmth in this winter.
Zhang Yue stood under the tree, listening to the rustle of the leaves echoed by the wind, it was the sound of nature, full of vitality, in this winter, when everything was silent, it was really a natural sound. Zhang Yue was a little upset when he heard it, his eyes were closed, motionless, and even his breathing was so weak that it was difficult to detect, and he didn't know that he thought he was a corpse.
However, his soul power was running wildly, completely enveloping Mrs. Xu's small house and small courtyard, and everything in it was reflected in his mind, including the happy family.
It's just that he saw the dark tide behind happiness, and the laughing in Mrs. Xu's arms was not a baby, but two shimmering pink fruits, and each ray of light condensed a rich demonic aura. In Zhang Yue's view, Mrs. Xu is like falling into a pink whirlpool, gradually dying out in illusory happiness.
Zhang Yue's fists clenched for me, and there was a white light flickering, but it was only a faint fluorescence, flickering, faint as a candle in the wind. He wanted to rush in and smash the two fruits to pieces.
The black and white pupils were running, and the sealing method of the two ceremonies had already been formed, he just needed to walk out from under the tree, stand in front of Mrs. Xu and wave the knife with the power of Yin Yi, which was his only killing move, the soul killing knife. He could be sure that in the sword light under the swing of the knife, the souls of the two demon fruits would completely dissipate, and there was no possibility of even escaping into reincarnation.
His fists were clenched, and in the soul world, the black and white pond was surging with waves, startling the little doll jumping up and down.
Kill?
Don't kill?
Zhang Yue kept asking herself, but she never got an answer. It is his job to eliminate demons, and it is his duty as a spirit man and as a spiritual master. When he opened this door, he knew that he would face this problem, he thought he was ready, but now, he was still hesitating.
Goblin...... What is it? The enemy of humanity? Man-eating monsters? Perhaps, the demons that Zhang Yue encountered before were all stained with blood, but Zhang Yue had never killed demons in the real sense.
What's more, are the two demon fruits in front of you plotting against each other or doing good? Mrs. Xu, who was caught in the pink whirlpool, seemed to be very happy......
