Chapter 1: The Daughter-in-law Is Gone (Part I)
North State, Truman Township.
Seven nights in the first month of July.
The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain was pouring down.
There was a dilapidated house at the east end of the town, and there was nothing decent in the house. There is a small mottled table next to the kang with an oil lamp lit on the table.
There was a six- or seven-year-old girl curled up in the corner of the kang, wrapped in a broken quilt.
The dim oil lamp reflected her pale, slightly confused little face.
The girl's body trembled.
After some time, the door creaked open, and a boy came in with a chicken. The boy was only eight or nine years old, and his immature face had a wild aura. He carried a hunting knife more than a foot long at his waist.
The boy was drenched wet, he wiped the rain from his face, then walked over to the kang and shook the chicken in front of the girl's eyes.
The boy smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, look at how fat this chicken is." Give you a good patch, and your illness will be cured. ”
The boy's name is Chu Wolf.
Speaking of Chu Wolf's life experience, it is really bizarre. A few years ago, a hunter surnamed Chu entered a wolf's den, and there were several wolf cubs in the cave. To the hunter's surprise, there was also a toddler of two or three years old among the wolf cubs. The toddler crawls on all fours like a wolf and is agile.
The toddler bared his teeth and his eyes were full of anger, and he let out a threatening wolf howl at the hunter.
The hunter killed several wolf cubs, but he felt compassion for the "wolf child".
The hunter brought back the "wolf child".
The hunter is widowed and lonely, so he raises this "wolf baby" as a son.
The hunter's surname was Chu, and the child was picked up from the wolf's den, so he named him: Chu Wolf.
The hunter taught the Chu wolf to speak, walk, and eat cooked food, trying to turn the Chu wolf from a wild "wolf cub" into a normal child.
Three years ago, the hunter died of illness, leaving Chu Wolf with a dilapidated house and a hunting knife.
Chu Wolf was only five years old that year, and he survived tenaciously in this miserable world with much more tenacity than children of the same age.
The girl looked at the chicken in Chu Wolf's hand and said weakly, "Brother Wolf, I'm so cold...... I'm going to die, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat chicken......"
Chu Wolf jumped on the kang and wrapped a blanket around the girl.
"Damn, it's a small matter if you die, and I won't have a daughter-in-law. So you can't die. When you grow up, you'll have to give me a lot of 'wolf cubs.' Understood!"
The girl cried and said, "Understood...... I don't want to die either......"
The little girl on the bed, Chu Wolf still doesn't know her name and where she comes from.
The girl was picked up by Chu Wolf half a year ago.
That day, the Chu wolf was chasing rabbits in the mountains, and his unusually sensitive ears heard a moaning sound. Chu Wolf searched for a sound, and finally found the girl in an overgrown pit.
The girl was covered in blood and in a trance.
Chu Wolf took the girl home and cleaned her up. To Chu Wolf's surprise, the girl was very beautiful with pink makeup. Chu Wolf had never seen such a beautiful girl. Chu Wolf asked the girl her name of origin, but the girl had experienced a catastrophe and her spirit was a little abnormal, and she couldn't say it.
Someone pouted Chu Wolf to sell the girl to a big family for silver flowers. Chu Wolf calculated that he was poor, and it would be difficult to get a wife when he grew up, let alone such a beautiful daughter-in-law, so Chu Wolf would leave this girl to take care of her and be a daughter-in-law.
Chu Wolf went to the stove to boil water, ready to return the chicken feathers to his daughter-in-law to stew chicken.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a foot.
Three men in ponchos broke in.
At the head was a fierce-looking man.
The man was furious when he saw the chicken in Chu Wolf's hand, and he said angrily: "Wolf cub, it was you who stole our master's chicken." He even killed the master's favorite dog! You're tired of being alive!"
It turned out that Chu Wolf went to Rich Liu's house to steal chickens, and was discovered by a dog, and Chu Wolf simply killed the dog.
Chu Wolf was not panicked, and there was a mocking smile on his little face.
"Steward Peng, there are hundreds of people in this town, why are you so sure that I stole your master's chicken?!"
"There are indeed hundreds of people in the town, but only you, a bold wolf cub, dare to steal our master's chicken and kill our master's dog!" Steward Peng stared at Chu Wolf viciously, and at this moment he exuded resentment against this "wolf cub". "Wolf cub, I'm going to arrest your daughter-in-law and go back to pay off the debt!"
Chu Wolf held the chicken in one hand and drew the hunting knife at his waist in the other, and his gaze became unsettling like an angry beast.
"Whoever dares to touch my daughter-in-law, I will fight with whom!"
"You think you're really afraid of you, hairy boy, arrest Lao Tzu!" Steward Peng shouted at his two men.
The two men pressed towards the side of the kang. At this moment, a thin light green glowing line suddenly flashed into the room, and it sank into the back of one of the men.
The man's whole body suddenly trembled with pain, and his seven orifices also gushed blood, and his whole face became distorted, which was extremely terrifying. Then the man howled and fell to the ground with a "plop". Blood gushed out and spilled all over the ground.
The smell of blood also spread through the room.
An eerie atmosphere also spread through the room with blood.
This sudden change shocked Steward Peng and another of his subordinates.
Chu Wolf was also shocked, but he took the opportunity to shout: "My daughter-in-law is a fairy who has been blessed by the gods in the mortal world, and whoever dares to rob her will be punished!
"Yes, this is the ...... of retribution," a gloomy voice sounded.
The voice came from the doorway.
Chu Wolf, Steward Peng and Jia Ding, as well as the little girl on the kang all set their eyes on the door.
There was a man standing in the doorway.
The man was not wearing any rain gear. He was dressed in a black robe and had long hair. The rain fell on the robe, shining with water droplets. His long hair was also dripping with rain.
He wears a terrifying ghost mask on his face.
In this night of lightning and thunder, he feels like a ghost.
If it weren't for this man's voice, I don't know what he was standing at the door.
Chu Wolf understood that the family was killed by this person who looked like a ghost.
Neither Chu Wolf nor Steward Peng had ever seen such a terrifying martial art, and in their opinion, this was simply a ghost and god skill. The two even suspected that they had actually hit a ghost.
At that moment, the window cracked, and an iron chain burst in, topped with an iron cone the size of a fist. The iron chain snaked like a snake and flew towards the remaining family. The iron cone submerged into the body of the housekeeper, and the body of the family man leaned up, and was dragged out of the window by the iron chain, and then a creepy scream sounded in the rainy night.
Make this rainy night even more terrifying.
Not only at the door, but also outside the window.
No less terrifying.
Peng was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and Chu Wolf's little face was also full of fear, but the hunting knife in his hand was held tighter.
The little girl on the kang didn't seem afraid.
Her eyes were fixed on the ghostly face of the man at the door, and her confused eyes glowed with a strange look like a resurrection. Seems to recognize this ghost-faced man.
The ghost-faced figure at the door flickered into the house, and at the same time, the strange iron chain outside the window once again sank into Steward Peng's body like a snake. Steward Peng screamed, the iron chain was also closed, and Steward Peng's body flew out of the window.
The ghost-faced man stared at the little girl on the kang and walked over slowly.
Although Chu Wolf was scared at the moment, in order to protect his daughter-in-law, Chu Wolf was anxious. With a wolf-like howl, he threw away the chicken in his left hand and quickly lunged at the Ghostface, slashing at the Ghostface with his right hunting knife.
At the moment when the hunting knife was about to slash at the ghost-faced man's leg, Chu Wolf suddenly felt that his arm was hit by a strong force, and the hunting knife in his hand also fell out of his hand. Chu Wolf's people also flew up, and the ghost-faced man reached out and grabbed Chu Wolf's collar and brought Chu Wolf in front of him.
The hideous ghost faced the little face of the Chu wolf.
The ghost-faced man said in a cold tone: "At a young age, you are bold enough! You are ruthless enough! But you also have to die, as long as anyone who has seen us, you have to die!"
At this moment, the little girl on the kang lifted the quilt wrapped around her body, and shouted loudly at the ghost-faced man with excitement.
"Let me go Brother Wolf! He saved my life, whoever kills my Brother Wolf I won't let him live!"
