Chapter 30: Master
"Okay, little girl, it's almost time to get up" The old woman squinted her eyes and looked at Banxia who was sitting on the bed: "Huo boy is going to worry about you to death." ”
"Oh......" The mother-in-law's voice seemed to have a magical power that one could not refuse. Banxia meekly put the cat aside and got out of bed, the old woman saw Banxia get out of bed, showing a slight smile, she pushed open the door: "Come out and eat something, you should be hungry......"
Banxia followed the old woman out of the room, and there was a small living room outside the door, an old-fashioned fireplace was constantly boiling a pot of soup that looked very similar, and Lianke was sitting at the dining table opposite the fireplace, feasting.
"Yo, Banxia, you're awake." Seeing Banxia walking out of the house, Lian Ke hurriedly wiped the soup stains on his mouth and said hello.
"Hi, Lenko." Banxia said hello a little stiffly, but her heart was full of doubts. The old woman walked out of the house and ignored Banxia, but walked to the soup pot and stirred the soup.
"Hey, Huo Qian." Banxia turned his head and whispered to Huo Qian, who was standing behind him: "I always think this mother-in-law is a little weird, why don't we leave, I'm a little worried......"
"What are you worried about?" Huo Qian stretched out his hand, put it on Banxia's shoulder, and said with a grin: "She's my master, it's normal to be weird, don't worry, she won't harm us." Well, let's go, the soup looks good. ”
"Huh? Oh......" Banxia listened to Huo Qian's words, although he was still skeptical, he still followed Huo Qian's footsteps, came to the dining table, and chose a place to sit down. Just as she sat down, a bowl with a mellow soup was placed in front of her. Banxia turned her head to look at the old woman looking at her expectantly, although she still felt that the old woman was a little strange, but the previous uneasiness disappeared - she was really like a loving grandmother.
Banxia picked up the spoon, carefully scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth - this taste instantly conquered the tip of Banxia's tongue, making her immerse herself in the pleasure of taste buds, this soup is really delicious.
"Granny, this soup is really delicious!" Banxia looked at the old woman and said excitedly.
"Yes, then drink more......" The old woman saw Banxia affirming, showed a satisfied smile, and took a bowl of soup herself, sat next to Banxia, and drank it carefully.
Soon, a pot of thick soup was eaten by the four of them, and Banxia sat down in a chair contentedly stretching her limbs, when suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her lower back, which woke her up from the calm atmosphere--it seems...... They forget something important.
Banxia stood up in a panic, his expression was very nervous: "Huo Qian! Lenko! Now is not the time for us to relax! What about the river god of Tianyang River?! We...... Shouldn't we take her down?! ”
Huo Qian and Lian Ke both stared at Banxia dumbfounded, and Lian Ke was even scared off the spoon. Neither of them spoke, just showed a hint of embarrassment, as if they were embarrassed.
"Hey! You guys...... Why don't you speak?! Banxia couldn't help but get anxious when he saw Huo Qian and Lian Ke looking embarrassed.
"Little girl, don't be ......in a hurry" Suddenly, the old woman who had been sitting silently opened her mouth: "She is not something you can easily deal with, sit down and take a good rest, you are too tired......"
"But, old woman! It's hurt a lot of people! We can't sit idly by! We...... Old...... Old woman? Banxia just wanted to argue, but when she saw the old woman lower her head, she suddenly realized that she might have bumped into the old woman, and her voice gradually became quieter......
"Little girl...... You don't know what he is, do you? The old woman raised her head and looked at Banxia.
"Uh...... Hmm......" Although he didn't want to admit it, Banxia finally nodded helplessly.
"Like Huo Xiaozi, she is a daredevil...... "The old woman showed a helpless smile: "She is also a river god, but she is not a monster who usually fights a little." She gently put away the plates on the table and placed them in a dark wooden basin beside her.
"By the way, it's been so long, I haven't introduced myself yet......" The old woman turned around and said to Banxia, who was still confused: "What about me, like the little girl, you are also a ghost exorcist, but I may be more qualified, they all call me the cat god, but the little girl, you can call me mother-in-law like Huo Xiaozi." ”
"Cat God?" Banxia thought about the name suspiciously, but he didn't have any impression.
Huo Qian, who had been silent, saw Banxia's confused expression, and hurriedly interjected in a low voice: "She is our master, Banxia...... She was a genius of Bai Miao in the past, a powerful ghost exorcist who could compete with His Majesty Yama! ”
The old lady snorted a little dissatisfied, Huo Qian immediately sat up straight, looked at the wall on the side, and whistled weakly.
"Bai Miao?" Banxia seemed to remember something-didn't all the spells she learned draw with Bai Miao's technique, it was a powerful ghost exorcist holy land! His Majesty Banxia had only heard Huo Qian say it twice, and he only knew that it was a very powerful monster, but even so, Banxia also realized the strength of this old lady, and couldn't help but be careful when he spoke.
"Then, mother-in-law......" Banxia looked at the kind old lady, although her tone was still anxious, but a little more respectful: "Can you help us and accept the river god?" ”
The old lady shook her head: "I can't do this, because it's your business, and I can't interfere." ”
Banxia showed a look of disappointment: "Then let her do whatever she wants?" ”
"I didn't say I didn't care...... the old lady walked to the window, opened the window, and the refreshing evening breeze instantly embraced the cabin, bringing the breath of autumn: "I naturally can't let her do anything wrong, but I can't do it...... I can't rip a god off the throne, it's too costly. But, you can. ”
"We?" Banxia pointed to himself and asked suspiciously.
"Of course, as long as you find a spirit that can replace the river god, and then disperse the river god...... And that spirit body, Huo Boy already has a candidate. The old lady turned her head, looked at Banxia, and said kindly.
"So...... All right! Huo Qian!! Banxia turned his head and glared at Huo Qian angrily - no wonder Huo Qian was not in a hurry at all, he was so confident that he had the answer, hateful ...... I kept myself in the dark!
Banxia waved his fist and smashed it at Huo Qian, Huo Qian jumped up, laughing while dodging, like a child, Banxia looked at the naughty Huo Qian, and showed a smile, which had never been done before...... It should be because there is something to rely on, right?
What kind of person is that old lady?
