Chapter 115 Branches
Liu Yusheng said that we want to get rid of the corpse demon, but not now, he already has a plan, and he doesn't want me to mess up the plan.
"What if he's injured by a corpse demon?" I watched Xiao Qingyu go so single-handedly, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, this time Liu Yusheng and I were his deputies, so it was too unauthentic to let him fight alone.
"Don't worry, but just a corpse demon can't hurt him." After Liu Yusheng finished speaking, he turned around and sat on the wooden box on the side.
I know that Xiao Qingyu has been in the museum for many years, and I guess I may not be able to help if I go, so I just sit and wait like Liu Yusheng.
Half an hour later, Xiao Qingyu came back, he gasped and came up from downstairs with a very serious expression on his face.
"Why don't you chase it?" Xiao Qingyu pressed the fire temperament and asked.
Liu Yusheng stood up and looked at Xiao Qingyu: "Senior brother, you're not injured, are you?" You go straight down through the window, but, at this height, even if I can jump down with it, Anzhi can't do it? An Zhi has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body is still very weak, so? "Liu Yusheng actually put all the responsibility directly on me.
I frowned and looked at Liu Yusheng, and Liu Yusheng also looked at me.
In the end, I could only apologize to Xiao Qingyu, saying that I was not good at learning, and I dragged Liu Yusheng down and did not help Xiao Qingyu.
Xiao Qingyu frowned, but he didn't say anything more, and I saw that there seemed to be an injury on his arm.
"Senior Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Looking at his bleeding wound, I immediately asked.
Xiao Qingyu shook his head lightly, didn't say anything, and went to the room that Lao Xue arranged for us to rest.
Liu Yusheng and I also went back to the room, he and Xiao Qingyu were in one room, and I was alone.
When I was in bed, I always felt uneasy.
The next day, Xiao Qingyu was obviously a little flustered and anxious, he went out alone early in the morning, presumably to find the traces of the corpse demon.
And Liu Yusheng asked me to drink tea with him in the dark hall, and even Lao Xue came over to ask many times, thinking that the two of us were here to eat and drink, after all, their food is not rich now.
But Liu Yusheng didn't understand it, so he just drank tea and rested.
Xiao Qingyu wandered around outside until dark before coming back, at night, he didn't seem to believe that Liu Yu and I were born, and he stayed at the window by himself, waiting for the corpse demon, but the corpse demon did not appear tonight.
Xiao Qingyu was anxious, and on the third day, a white carrier pigeon sent Xiao Qingyu a note again, and this time Xiao Qingyu read the note, and immediately proposed to return to Beijing first.
"But Senior Brother, this corpse demon is so difficult to deal with, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of time for me and An Zhi to explain, and I will have to bother Senior Brother to explain to Master." Liu Yusheng's face put on a very embarrassed expression.
I secretly admired in my heart, what is this Liu Yusheng acting like, it's a pity not to sing.
When Xiao Qingyu heard him say this, he was still a little guilty.
He nodded at Liu Yusheng and me, saying that he would explain truthfully to Master, and told us to be careful, and then drove away in a hurry.
As soon as Xiao Qingyu left with his front foot, Liu Yusheng immediately turned to look at me: "Go!" ”
"Where?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"Go catch the ghouls!" With that, he took up his bow and crossbow, and handed me a baggage, which contained talisman paper and cinnabar, and the demon whip I had brought.
"Do you know where the corpse is?" I looked at Liu Yusheng.
Liu Yusheng smiled faintly: "Although Xiao Qingyu is now a senior brother, I have to say that his observation and magic skills are still at the level of a few years ago, he was born in martial arts, his limbs are developed and his mind is simple, some things are already obvious, but he didn't find out!" ”
"What?" I asked Liu Yusheng suspiciously.
Liu Yusheng glanced at me, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you and this Xiao Qingyu are indeed senior brothers and sisters." ”
There was a mockery in his words.
When I saw him talking like this, I didn't ask much, just followed Liu Yusheng.
Liu Yusheng led me all the way out of the alley, and walked in the direction where the little boy had left the day before yesterday, and in that direction was the ruins, and I heard the little boy say that there are still some people living there.
We didn't stop all the way, and braved the scorching sun to reach the edge of the ruins, where most of the wooden houses had collapsed, and there was no sign of anyone in broad daylight.
Liu Yusheng raised his hand, his pale and slender fingers quickly calculated, and finally walked towards a ruin to the west.
The ruins had collapsed badly, but when we got closer, we smelled the smell of meat, as if someone was stewing some kind of broth.
Liu Yusheng approached the wooden house, which had collapsed for the most part, looked in through the gap outside the wooden house, only glanced at it, and then directly reached out and pushed the door of the wooden house open.
The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and I saw eight or nine people inside, mostly old people, surrounding a pitch-black pot, and when they heard the noise, they all turned their heads and looked at me and Liu Yusheng in astonishment.
"Is that you?" A little boy sat next to the pot and looked at us in surprise.
This boy is the younger brother of the corpse demon Zhao Hua, I didn't expect that they were actually hiding in this kind of house that was about to collapse, it was too dangerous here, and if it really collapsed, they would all have to be buried here alive.
"Your brother Zhao Hua, right here?" Liu Yusheng asked expressionlessly.
"My brother is dead!" The boy shouted excitedly.
And those old people also stood up tremblingly: "You were sent by the Yang family to arrest Ah Hua?" He's dead, what do you want? ”
Listening to the tone of this old man, Yang Zuheng should have sent someone to catch the corpse demon before, but he didn't succeed, so he finally invited someone from the Demon Slayer Pavilion.
"Chicken soup?" Liu Yusheng walked to the cauldron, lifted the pot and took a look, and sure enough, it was chicken soup, a big pot full of it.
This reminds me of the offerings in the birdcage in the alley, and Zhao Hua took those offerings not to enjoy himself, but to give them to these poor villagers.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour, even if I was dead, Zhao Hua still thought about these people.
"He is now a corpse demon, and if you hide him here, something will happen sooner or later." Liu Yusheng glanced at the chicken soup and said to these people.
"You don't have to worry about my brother's business, get out!" The boy raised his hand excitedly and prepared to push Liu Yusheng.
Liu Yusheng avoided it sideways, pointed to the remaining poultry in the corner, and continued: "He can still control himself now, but after a while, he will gradually lose control of himself, the demon eats the blood, and the blood belongs to the yin, so that the corpse demon's own yin qi will be aggravated, and you will not be able to live at that time!" ”
"You talk nonsense, my brother won't hurt anyone, you get out, you get out!" The boy rushed over excitedly and pushed Liu Yusheng away.
Liu Yusheng was quick-eyed, grabbed the boy's arm, and lifted his coarse cloth sleeve hard, and we saw that there were several bite marks on the boy's arm, the traces were new and old, and from the size of the bite, it was not his own bite.
