Chapter 21: A Childhood Horror Story

Guest house.

A light on the table is like a bean.

It's really wonderful to say that things in the world are really wonderful, and the two people who were chasing and fighting last night can sit at a table tonight without incident.

Through the light, Li Changan looked at the ghost-faced girl opposite.

It's still the same look, red dress, plain clothes, and even the new mask is the same style.

It's just that I couldn't really see it in the chase last night, but now that I look closely, I find that the mask is not painted with evil ghosts, but a Dharma protector god, but with a hideous face.

The ghost-faced woman silently took the Taoist priest's gaze, and lifted her mask slightly, revealing a tight and smooth chin. The Taoist priest's eyes were sharp, and he saw an inconspicuous scar.

When he was neutral in his mind, he took out the faces he had bumped into these days and compared them one by one, but he didn't come up with a reason.

The ghost-faced woman had already put down her mask and spoke for the first time, her voice clear.

"It's cold. ”

"What?"

"Tea. ”

The Taoist priest smiled disappreciatively.

Of course, it's cold, and it's old tea brewed at noon.

"I'm sorry. It's best to have some more refreshments. ”

He pushed the oiled paper bag in front of the other party, and then raised his eyes, his eyes already glowing with coldness.

"The sword has no eyes, don't go to the underworld, and be a hungry ghost. ”

Ghostface was silent for a moment.

"I'm not here to fight you. ”

"That's unusual. That is, if you don't fight for the sake of fighting, don't you turn yourself in? Then Your Excellency has come to the wrong place, and the gate of the yamen is not open here. ”

Listening to the banter in the Taoist priest's words, the ghost-faced man was silent for a long time this time.

“...... I'm here to ask for your help. ”

The Taoist priest blinked his eyes, but he was dumbfounded.

"Although the poor Tao kills people, drinks alcohol, eats meat, deceives gods, insults ghosts, and slows down Buddhas, this kind of aiding and abusive thing is something that I never dare to do, and I will not do. ”

Li Changan held down the hilt of the sword, and gradually became a little impatient. Although he had some doubts in his heart, wouldn't it be safer and more convenient to take it first and then ask questions?

But the ghost-faced man just asked:

"What is '纣' and what is 'abuse'?"

"Your Excellency is full of evil, and murder is not torture. ”

"Murder?"

The Ghostface scoffed, casting his eyes under the mask.

Her eyes and voice were as clear as moonlight, but they were also like a cold moon, glowing with coldness.

"I killed ......"

"It's never been human. ”

............

It's not a sunny day.

Out of nowhere, a dark cloud was moved, covering the moon and making the city even darker.

But this did not hinder people's enthusiasm for the festival, and they still lingered and laughed. But the liveliness of the celebration in this city has nothing to do with the three young brothers of the neighbors of Xing Zhutou in Fengfang, Changchang, Chengchang.

Their father was busy making a living, working for the owner at the festival, but he left the three little ones at home, and entrusted relatives and mothers-in-law to take care of them.

But the woman didn't know if she had forgotten her task, or if she was just looking at the light market, and seeing that the night was dark, she still hadn't arrived.

Three little guys, the eldest is only nine years old, the younger one is five years old, and the other is still a milk baby.

huddled in the quilt with each other.

Whew~hiss~

The wind crept through the window, like a ghost howling.

Bang la blah.

The trees outside the window shook their silhouettes, as if they were monsters waving their teeth and claws.

The noise, grinding teeth, snoring, and the creaking of the late returnee pushing the door all made the young brother miss him a lot on this night.

But the surroundings are cold and lonely after all, and people are all miles in the light market.

I don't know how long I was scared.

There was a sudden knock outside the door.

"Which one?"

"When the doll opens the door, it's the mother-in-law who comes. ”

"It's my mother-in-law!"

The four-year-old brother shuttled down from the bed at once, and the young lady was about to follow, but the old man was also woken up and cried, she couldn't have a child, so she had to turn her head to coax the baby, while standing her ears and listening to the movement outside.

She could hear the "creaking" sound of the door opening, and she could hear the voices of her little brother and mother-in-law getting closer.

"Mother-in-law, why do you have a plush face. ”

"It's cold outside, and it's wrapped in skin. ”

"What's it with your long tail trailing behind you?"

"That's the belt. ”

......

The two of them walked to the door, and it was dark outside, and they could not see their appearance, and they could only identify the person by their voice and silhouette.

The young lady is going to hold the lamp.

But the woman hurriedly cried out:

"Don't light the lights. ”

"Why?"

"I walked for half a day and night, and I was afraid of shaking my eyes. ”

The young lady obediently put down the fire fold, and at this time, the noisy old man finally got tired of crying, and returned to sleep with his thumb in his mouth.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, put the old girl back in the bed, and turned around to go out.

Unexpectedly.

The mother-in-law grabbed her and squeezed her hand tightly.

"Where are you going?"

The young lady was a little scared.

"I'm going to get you some bread. ”

She remembers that her mother-in-law has a big appetite these days, always shouting that she is hungry, and every time she goes to the house, she always looks for something to eat first.

But unexpectedly, the mother-in-law said:

"No...... Slip ...... I'm not hungry yet. ”

There was a strange swallowing sound in the words, and then, without waiting for the young lady to react, she closed the door, plugged in the deadbolt, and locked the door with the sudden bright moonlight and the quietly rising mist.

The mother-in-law urged again:

"It's late, hurry up and go to bed. ”

So a few people went to bed. As usual, the mother-in-law always thought that the younger brother was not sleeping well, so she arranged him outside. But this time, the mother-in-law held the little brother tightly in her arms, but put the little sister outside.

"Mother-in-law is a little strange today. ”

The young lady muttered in her heart.

But her little head couldn't accommodate too many doubts, the night was heavy and inspiring people to sleep, and the upper and lower eyelids finally succeeded in meeting the teacher.

But I didn't see it.

The woman's eyes slowly glowed green in the darkness.

............

Li Changan looked at the waist card in his hand.

The style is strange and simple.

The word "Yu Mei" is written on the front, and the back is very familiar.

Department of Pacification.

It's really a place in life where we don't meet.

Should it be said that they are worthy of being a special organ under the jurisdiction of the court of this world? But if there is any bad luck and bad luck, they cannot be separated from them as-stirring sticks.

The Taoist priest shook his head, reversed the lengthy explanation of the ghost-faced man or Yu Mei before a few rounds in his heart, and asked briefly:

"In this way, Your Excellency is a member of the Zhenfu Division, and this time you went to Xiaoshui to investigate a case related to demons. ”

"Yes. ”

"But after some investigation and covert investigation, it was discovered that someone was spreading a blight or spell that could turn people into monsters. ”

"Yes. ”

"The people you killed before were all victims of this monster and are about to turn into monsters. In order to prevent it from harming other innocent people, the killer was killed?"

"That's right. ”

Li Changan nodded, if he explained it like this, some of the questions in his heart would make sense, but ...... He looked at Yu Mei, who did not see his true face or expression under the mask, and said again:

"Well, I have three more questions. ”

Yu Mei always looked like she was silent, nodded slightly, and responded with the right to respond.

The Taoist priest didn't care, and asked directly:

"First of all, why all of a sudden?"

"Demon changes are becoming more and more frequent, and I am alone, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything. ”

Li Changan was noncommittal, and then asked the second question.

"Why me?"

"You're amazing. Yu Mei paused, "He is also a good person." ”

Good?

The Taoist priest pinched his nose and accepted the card.

"So, one last question. ”

The relaxation and smile on Li Changan's face suddenly put away.

"Why did Your Excellency win the trust of so-and-so?!"

It's not the first day that the Taoist priest has mixed the rivers and lakes, and he can talk about white teeth with a broken brand? If you want me to believe you, you can. Otherwise, let's see the real chapter under our hands.

The ghost-faced man was silent, Li Changan slowly narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of slaughter in the field, even the sword in the box felt the master's mood, and trembled slightly.

But at this moment.

There was a sharp knock at the door.

"Dao Chief!
