Looking at the black and blue, and thinking about her saying that her child died suddenly, I wondered if it was something dirty.

"Little sister-in-law, can you tell me more about the child's death?" After I finished speaking, I regretted it a little, and letting her remember this was equivalent to tearing her wounds open.

But if I don't ask clearly, I'm worried that the evil thing is still in this house.

After all, it's so strange in this house, why is it wet?

Could it be that the water ghost is haunting again? It shouldn't be possible, if it's really a water ghost, this Su Mei'er can't live for a long time, and besides, the spirit of an adult is bigger than that of a baby, so how can a water ghost give up on an adult and kill a child instead?

"On that day, my husband specially brought some clothes from home for the child, and after the child put them on, he died that night." Su Meier said, crying even more sadly.

"Have you checked the clothes? Questions? I asked.

"It's all ordinary clothes, so naturally there is no problem." Su Meier said without thinking.

"Can you show me?" I asked casually.

She listened, nodded, and led me into the room on the side of the hall, where the dampness was heavier than the outside, and it was fishy.

From the bedside table, Su Meier took out a wooden box, which was full of the baby's new clothes.

I placed Corning, who had fallen asleep after a full meal, on the bed, and began to examine the clothes.

As Su Mei'er said, these clothes look fine, they are all made of fine satin, and they are extremely soft and smooth, but I found a detail, that is, the neckline of these clothes is sewn with a triangular rune paper.

Ms. Sumel said it was a peace charm with her son's birthday written on it, a custom in their town to bless the child from growing up safely.

"Really?" With that, I glanced into the house again, and it was also "wet" and full of water droplets.

"Was this how it used to be here?" I asked Sumeer.

Su Mei'er shook her head: "No, since the child died, it has also started to flood here. After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she felt very tired.

I looked around inside and out, and felt that although there was yin qi in this place, I didn't find anything evil, so I hugged Kangning and prepared to go back, and before leaving, I drew a talisman for her as a reward.

But Su Meier stopped me, and she chose one of the new clothes, saying that her son had never worn it, and told me not to wrap the child in this thick fur.

"If you want children to be safe, you need to divide hunger and cold." Su Mei'er paused after speaking: "I'd rather be cool than hot, it's easy to get sick." โ€

"Yes, thank you for reminding me." I've heard this before, but it's my first time as a mother, so I don't have much experience and don't know how to take care of my children.

Su Mei'er taught me a lot, and even gave me some fabrics to use to make some clothes for the children.

She was very enthusiastic, I could only accept it first, but I didn't plan to give these fabrics to Kangning, after all, the original "owner" of these fabrics had passed away, which was extremely unlucky.

When I came out of Su Meier's house, she asked me to wake up for a while, and then I hugged her.

I thanked him again and again and took Corning back to the inn.

In the inn, Lingwu was still waiting downstairs, and when he saw that I was back, he hurriedly motioned to the guy to bring the prepared meals.

I didn't have an appetite, but in order for Kangning to eat "rations" as soon as possible, I ate three bowls of crucian carp soup and two bowls of pig's trotter soup in one go, in short, my stomach was bulging.

Although Lingwu didn't like to eat these cooked, he also ate a little to fill his stomach.

I asked my buddies for a decoction to replenish qi and blood, and brought it to the door of Gu Shaoting's room.

After calling for a long time, Gu Shaoting didn't come to open the door, so I raised my foot and gently kicked the door open.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt that this was simply a stove, and it was hot and damp, so I hurriedly asked Lingwu behind me to take Kang Ning away, and went into the house to feed Gu Shaoting with a decoction.

Gu Shaoting was lying on the bed at the moment, covered with two thick winter bedding, and a charcoal basin at the head and foot of the bed, but he was still trembling.

I walked to the edge of the bed with the soup and wanted him to get up and drink some hot food to see if I could warm up, but I saw that he was covered in cold sweat and his lips were still purple.

"Gu Shaoting?" I screamed, and put the soup bowl on the wooden chair beside me, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, and helped him to sit up, his body leaning on mine, and his hands and feet, which were trembling because of the "cold", stopped slightly.

"Here, drink some soup to warm up." I brought the decoction to his mouth, but he didn't drink it, his lips closed.

I thought about it, he is no longer human, and maybe like Lingwu, he has to eat raw meat and drink raw blood.

Thinking of this, I could only put the soup bowl down, thinking that I would go to the kitchen for a while and ask for a live chicken and duck and get it.

"Anzhi, don't go." I was about to get up and leave, but Gu Shaoting hugged my waist tightly.

"You're cold, aren't you?" I looked at him distressedly, and my eyes happened to be on the top of Gu Shaoting's head, because his hair was now scattered and draped, and I could vaguely see that there seemed to be a black spot in the middle of his head.

I lifted my hand and touched the black dot, and I felt a chill chill at the touch, and immediately thought that this might be something.

"Shaoting, do you nail the soul slayer?" The corners of my mouth quivered, and my heart immediately twitched.

What is the Soul Destroying Nail is, I know very well that it is a magic weapon that can make people and demons scatter, now, how could this Soul Destroying Nail be on top of Gu Shaoting's head?

"At that time, I fell into the dark river, and I had only one thought, that is, death could not let Hu Hongtian's old thief get our Gu family's soul killing nail, so I chose to "hide" this thing in my body forever, and I recognized the thief as my father for so many years, which can be regarded as an apology to the Gu family. Gu Shaoting said, but sneered.

"Anzhi, don't they all say that if you are stabbed in the skull by the Spirit Destroying Nail, you will be scattered? But I've become this immortal? Is it because my father is unwilling to forgive me for being an unfilial son? Gu Shaoting asked me coldly.

I hurriedly shook my head: "No, maybe it's this soul destroying nail to recognize the master, it can't bear to let the only bloodline of the Gu family be destroyed, Shaoting, you have to live well." โ€

"Live?" Gu Shaoting muttered, and then closed his eyes.

I guarded him for a long time, and then I went out of the house, ready to go downstairs to get some live poultry for Gu Shaoting.

As a result, Lingwu was already waiting for me outside the door.

"Master, do you really want to take this kid on the road with you?" Lingwu frowned, his expression serious.

"Lingwu, I am friends with Shaoting, and besides, he saved me, and now, I can be regarded as repaying his kindness." I looked at Lingwu and knew what he was thinking, just because I was afraid that I would have some "feelings" with Gu Shaoting.
