Chapter 21: Eavesdropping
"Did you lock him up again?" Zhang Zhong's sound of smoking a cigarette butt was particularly clear. "He's a kid after all, and it's not good to be like this all the time."
"Hmm...... I locked him in the little house downstairs, and this time he didn't cry. Han Ke said calmly. It's protecting him, and he'll understand it when he grows up. ”
The night was quiet, and the ordinary words of the two made me and Yu Ge a little tired, and we both saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes, and Yu Ge, who was just menacing, was reluctant to break into the door at this moment.
It goes without saying that the love words of Ah Zhong and Han Ke warmed my heart, even if I couldn't tell the truth from the fake, even if I knew that maybe the next second would be tense.
"Ah...... Ah Zhong, actually...... Actually, today I was really scared. Han Ke's voice softened again, and the hearts of the listeners throbbed, and the words made a sour feeling in the bones.
"Ke...... Actually, I know what you're afraid of? Zhang Zhong also replied indifferently. When I saw Mrs. Chen swallowing the pill, I also had a trace of fear in my heart, it was all extramarital love, we were really the same as them, maybe this was the punishment of love. Maybe this punishment will fall on us one day. ”
"Ah Zhong, we won't be the same as them, I will definitely protect you, even if some demons and monsters come, I will protect you with my life." Han Ke hurriedly said. "And I'm burning incense every day now, we live under Mount Tai, and the gods there will definitely bless us."
Zhang Zhong just smiled stiffly, and there was a kind of reluctance that could not be relieved in that faint laughter.
"Ake, you really haven't changed at all, go to sleep, don't think too much." He gently extinguished the cigarette so that I could clearly hear the sound of soot drifting in the jar.
It can be heard that Ah Zhong's voice is already a little tired, and falling in love with a goblin may really make him convinced that he is tired.
"One more thing, I won't tell you I really can't sleep." Han Ke swallowed. "Do you think our guests are a little out of the ordinary?"
As soon as I said this, my heart shook, and I saw that Yu Ge's face also showed a worried expression, and then she made a shushing gesture to signal me not to make a sound.
Naturally, we have to hear what exactly the couple will say. It's also funny that people who we don't think are normal at the moment.
"Ake, they are naturally unusual, and to be honest, this kind of martyrdom story is the first time I have witnessed it."
"No, Ah Zhong, I'm not talking about the three people who died, but the other three people who live in the middle of our mountain, the couple and the schoolgirl."
Yu Ge's eyes widened, she couldn't have imagined that we were observing others all the time, but she didn't know that others were also observing us at the same time.
"Ake, I don't think there's anything abnormal about them, today I also talked with the young man named Liu Quan for a long time, I think he is like me back then, there is always something to say when we talk about the day, he is really kind, what I say is so boring and he is willing to listen patiently."
"Hey, you're still too kind." Han Ke said helplessly. "Let's not mention the one named Liu Quan, let's just talk about the girl named Yuge next to her, my sense of smell tells me that she ......"
"Huh?"
"She must be a youkai." Han Ke said calmly. "And it's a monster with a lot of ways."
"What!" Zhang Zhong's voice unconsciously rose a few points. "Youkai!"
In fact, I was as surprised as Zhang Zhong, this was not a good omen, she had already noticed us.
"Yes, Ah Zhong, she must be a monster lurking in the world like me, but I'm a fox, and she doesn't know what other species she is." Han Ke took a deep breath. "It's been a long time since I've seen another youkai in all these years, and I'll never admit it."
Zhang Zhong pressed the lighter uneasily, and his voice trembled a little. "Ke, I wonder how you see it, is it from your own feelings?"
"Ah Zhong, don't be afraid, as long as we know about this matter, we can take precautions, in fact, when she first came here, I noticed the kind of aura on her body, you know that as long as it is a goblin, it is inevitable that she will have to cultivate the Tao, as long as she cultivates the Tao, it is inevitable that the breath will seep out, the breath on her body is very weak, but I still sniffed out a little clue, but because there is no real evidence, I didn't dare to bite him, until last night when she went into the water to save that Mrs. Chen, I was convinced." Han Ke spoke very slowly, and his voice was very slight, but it still allowed me and Yu Ge to hear it clearly outside the door, and Yu Ge's face suddenly became ugly, and his eyes became a little more solemn.
I glanced back at the pool downstairs, sparkling and still very calm, I don't know where that quiet was lurking at the moment, her plan seemed really dangerous now.
"What do you see?"
"I didn't see anything, but I could feel her casting spells, a wave of aura around her, and a unique smell of her, knowing that while some humans practice these spells, they will never have her unique aura like a goblin."
Ah Zhong lit another cigarette, and he could hear Han Ke's words that made him panic.
"Like gathers like, you said that Liu Quan and a monster are a couple and live together every day, will he be a simple ordinary person?" Han Ke's words were difficult to resist. "Even if he is an ordinary person, he is an ordinary person who knows the way of goblins, as far as I know, none of such people are good people, and we must be wary of both of them."
"It turns out that he is the same as me, no wonder he feels so similar to me. No wonder ......" Zhang Zhong had a feeling of sudden realization.
To be honest, I also feel the same way as Zhang Zhong, our experiences are really similar, and if we had opened our hearts at the beginning, we might have been able to talk more heartily.
"Ah Zhong, don't think of people so well, people are sometimes more dangerous than goblins." Although Han Ke is much younger than Ah Zhong, he really sounds like a big sister who is afraid that Ah Zhong will be hurt a little, and a cold murderer should not be such a face. "And that girl named Jingjing, she ......"
"She?" Ah Zhong agreed, but then seemed to realize something. "She's a little weird, and I've noticed that."
"You feel it too? Ah Zhong, what do you feel? ”
Ah Zhong seemed to suddenly get stuck in his throat, as if the words he wanted to say had become unspeakable. "Also...... It's nothing, I just think this little girl has a sense of déjà vu, I can't tell, but I just feel like we've met. ”
"Déjà vu...... Ah Zhong, you really think the same as I think, but the feeling is completely different, I feel that she has a deep hatred for me, and always looks at me with a cold look. ”
"Did you know her before?"
"Definitely not, I have never had a shadow of such a person in my memory." Han Ke's words revealed a faint uneasiness. "But I feel like she must know me, otherwise she wouldn't hate me like that, which is really weird."
"Have you tried to find out if she's a youkai or not?"
"This girl doesn't smell like a goblin, but she obviously doesn't look like a human being, to be honest, I don't have a deep sense of Taoism, my experience is also very shallow, and my understanding of the world is still very superficial. But my gut told me that this girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and I always felt that this girl must have something to do with the death of those three people. ”
Zhang Zhong gasped, feeling a little uneasy. "They are all people who can't be provoked, so what should we do?"
Han Ke also slowly calmed down. "Now we can only pretend that we don't know anything, they should leave here tomorrow, if they leave quietly, it will be fine, but if they dare to hurt us, I will definitely kill them." Han Ke's tone suddenly became sharp. "It doesn't matter if they're humans or ghosts, I won't let them go!"
"Ake, don't say stupid things."
"Ah Zhong, I didn't say anything stupid, I just hope that all three of us in our family can be safe, and we don't hurt others and we don't want others to harm us."
Outside the door of the house, Yu Ge's face showed a killing intent, long nails had grown on his fingers, and feathers had grown on his delicate neck in an instant. "What a vixen, I'm afraid that the blame will be pushed on someone else's head when I kill someone, damn it!"
The night was supposed to be quiet, but the sudden sound would have vanished the silence in an instant, and there seemed to be a great wave in the air.
At that moment, the killing machine enveloped the entire mountainside residence.
"Who's out there!"
The door in front of us suddenly cracked a huge opening, emitting a violent yellow light, and for a moment the quiet night sky was illuminated into daylight.
