Chapter 2: The Story

Wang Xiao quietly pinched his thighs hard.

Get rid of the glamour in your head that shouldn't be.

Secretly looked at Wu Orion apologetically.

He picked up a topic at random and said, "The master's family lives in the mountains and wilderness, and it is very free. ”

"But now the world is not peaceful, have you ever heard of strange things."

"What do you say?" Wu Orion added a handful of firewood to the fire and asked.

"On weekdays, I am on an errand in the capital, and I have seen and heard a lot, but I just feel that the world is difficult, and the lives of ordinary people are like mustard."

Wang Xiao opened the conversation.

"I once saw a family in the outer city of the capital, surnamed Li, who was doing a cloth business in the city, and his family was quite wealthy."

"But before the autumn, there was an accident, and Li Yuanwai's family died."

"This?"

"But I met the gentleman on the beam and killed him for money?" Wu Orion was surprised.

"Definitely."

Wang Xiao shook his head and continued: "It's a grotesque thing. ”

"Huh?"

"Demons asking for their lives?"

I don't talk about people during the day, and I don't talk about ghosts at night.

Wu Orion glanced left and right with some fear.

But I can't hold back my curiosity.

asked: "Poor master, what happened to this Li Yuanwai family." ”

The topic has been opened, Wang Xiao drank hot water and moistened his throat.

Then he said: "The cause is Li Yuanwai's daughter-in-law. ”

"It is said that the business of the shop in the capital is booming and the profit is considerable."

"But Li Yuanwai's family has three generations of single inheritance, but his son is married to a daughter-in-law who does not lay eggs, so he can't be happy."

"The temples and Taoist temples on the nearby mountains, during the New Year's Festival, they also gave a lot of incense offerings, but the daughter-in-law's stomach still didn't see any movement."

"Day after day, the status of that little daughter-in-law in the Li family is getting lower and lower."

"But a month before the incident, things suddenly took a turn for the better."

"It is said that since the little daughter-in-law bought a statue of Guanyin and some pills at the seller's place, her stomach has slowly bulged."

"Li Yuanwai's family was overjoyed and their attitude towards her changed greatly."

"There is a tendency to speak well every day, and there is never a shortage of nourishing stews, and they are all looking forward to the birth of the Li family."

"That little daughter-in-law met a good man and cured her infertility, this is a good thing, how did Li Yuanwai's family encounter an accident?"

Wu Orion asked his own question.

"Good Langzhong? That's the Devil's Way! ”

"Don't worry, master, and listen to me slowly."

"It is said that after the daughter-in-law became pregnant, her appetite began to increase."

"At first, there was a little more food, and Li Yuanwai didn't care, he was pregnant with the flesh and blood of his old Li family, so it was just right to eat more and give birth to a big fat boy."

But gradually, Li Yuanwai found that all the family's meals went into her daughter-in-law's stomach during the meal, and she still shouted hunger.

"But Li Yuanwai was eager to hug his grandson, and he didn't think about it so much, but he just informed his subordinates to increase the amount of food in the future, and the chickens and ducks in captivity at home should be killed."

"In this way, my daughter-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, but the strange things in Li Yuanwai's family are also one after another."

"First of all, the livestock in captivity at home will die inexplicably every night, and the flesh and blood seem to be torn apart by some kind of beast, which is extremely miserable."

"The daughter-in-law, who was originally only weak and weak, has also become strong, and often beats and scolds her subordinates because she doesn't eat enough."

When Wu Orion heard this, his brows also furrowed, and he said: "Although the woman is pregnant with Liujia, her temperament will be a little sensitive, but Li Yuanwai's daughter-in-law is ......."

"It's so abnormal."

Wang Xiao nodded, and continued: "But Li Yuanwai didn't think about it so much, this trivial matter, thinking about patience will pass, and the Li family's flesh and blood in the daughter-in-law's belly are important." ”

"But until one day, Li Yuanwai was busy with Zhang Luo's shop, and forgot to tell his subordinates to prepare the stewed lamb that his daughter-in-law wanted to eat, and he was busy until the evening before going back."

"Back at home, Li Yuanwai sensed that something was wrong."

"Half a ring since I came back, the maid didn't come out to serve, and my wife, son and daughter-in-law were all gone."

"I went to the bedroom, but I didn't see my wife, so I prepared to go to my son's side."

"When I walked to the door of the east wing, I was about to knock on the door, but Li Yuanwai heard a creaking sound of chewing and swallowing coming from inside the room."

"I learned that my daughter-in-law was gluttonous, so I instructed my subordinates to fry the soybeans and chew them when they were idle on weekdays."

"Li Yuanwai didn't care much, after all, his daughter-in-law's appetite soared after she became pregnant, and she was used to seeing it for a long time."

"But when I asked where my wife and son were, my daughter-in-law refused to speak, and she didn't even open the door to meet her."

Li Yuanwai felt a little strange, so he pushed the door and walked in.

"It doesn't matter if you don't enter, as soon as you enter the door, it can scare Li Yuanwai!"

"What's wrong? What's going on in the bedroom? ”

Wu Orion was very consciously praised.

"I saw two bloody corpses lying on the ground in that bedroom!"

"On the bloodstained robe, Li Yuanwai recognized at a glance that it was his wife and son who he couldn't find a trace!"

"And his daughter-in-law is lying on top of one of the corpses, gnawing on the flesh and blood!"

……

"Hey, could it be that Li Yuanwai's daughter-in-law is transformed by an ogre?"

Wu Orion looked at each other, took a breath of cold air and asked.

"Definitely."

"The real culprit is the seller."

"The statue of Guanyin that he sold to Li Yuanwai's daughter-in-law is a yin and evil magic weapon, and there is a cannibal demon in it!"

"This ...... Such an evil demon, won't the court investigate it? Wu Orion felt that the three views were impacted.

Wang Xiao shook his head: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who can be presumptuous." ”

"On the day of the incident, Li Yuanwai's personal guard escaped, and reported to the yamen as soon as possible, and the Demon Suppression Division dispatched overnight to take down the demon that night."

"As for the seller, he was also arrested within three days."

"I see, the poor master is really well-informed and well-informed." Wu Orion looked suddenly enlightened.

"It's just a conversation after tea and dinner in the capital, and if you have the opportunity to go to the capital and sit in a teahouse restaurant, this kind of story will make your ears callous."

"Okay, when you catch a good prey one day, you must go to the capital to take a walk and see it."

Wu Orion had a yearning look on his face.

Wang Xiao smiled and drank a sip of warm water to moisten his throat and stopped talking.

The story he told was all true, even more detailed than the version circulated in the teahouse restaurant.

The tragedy of Li Yuanwai's family did spread all over the capital, but it was only a simplified version published by the yamen.

told the story of the demon possessing Li Yuanwai's daughter-in-law and eating the whole family.

Wang Xiao was able to understand so many details, all relying on the friend who was on an errand in the Demon Suppression Division in his memory.

The broth boiling in the pot is bubbling with aroma, which is appetizing.

Wu Orion also came back to his senses from the afterglow of the story, sniffled, and said with a smile: "The poor master has been running around for a day, let's take a good rest after drinking the broth." ”

"Okay." Wang Xiao turned out to be a good broth.

I looked at the milky white soup in the bowl and the tiny pieces of meat tumbling inside.

Thinking back to the story I had just told, my throat surged, and my originally hungry appetite was lost in an instant.

"Is this self-inflicted?"

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly.
