It was getting late, and bursts of smoke rose from the Ansi courtyard.
Butcher Liu, who was holding a dry smoke pot, took a puff of acrid white smoke, sniffed it, and said with a grin, "Hey, Mr. Gu's craftsmanship is pretty good. The aroma of this meat sauce is so strong."
Just as he was thinking about whether to grab a bite to eat, Butcher Liu suddenly heard slight footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley. As he followed the sound, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Mr. Gu!"
Seeing the old butcher making so much noise, he called out to himself and looked at the location of his small courtyard. Gu Ning'an also understood what he was surprised about.
So, after he responded to the greeting, he explained briefly: "There are guests at home."
"So that's it..." Butcher Liu nodded and said with a smile, "No wonder you bought so many roast chickens, you must be a distinguished customer."
Gu Ning'an glanced at Butcher Liu in surprise. What he was holding was indeed a roast chicken, but it was tightly wrapped in lotus leaf paper. Butcher Liu also had a bright nose, he could do all this. You can smell it.
"Butcher Liu, take one and try it." As he spoke, Gu Ning'an walked to the front of Butcher Liu's house and placed a pack of roast chicken on the stone steps next to Butcher Liu.
"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Butcher Liu swallowed, picked up the roasted chicken and was about to hand it back.
At this time, Gu Ning'an had already walked a few steps away. He waved his hand and said, "Take it and eat it. It was originally obtained for free."
"Hey!" Butcher Liu took a few steps forward and said, "How can I get this roast chicken for free? I'll get one and give it back to you sir tomorrow!"
Gu Ning'an, who was about to close the courtyard door, heard the words and responded with a smile: "The county government will reward you with eighty silver coins for catching a forest bandit, and eighty coins for a roast chicken. Isn't that what you get for free?"
"Catch the forest bandits!" When Butcher Liu heard this, he immediately felt that there was no chance for him. He was very old. It would be difficult to catch a forest bandit, let alone a dog!
"Go back and eat quickly. It would be a pity if it gets cold." With that said, Gu Ning'an closed the courtyard door.
After coming back to his senses, Butcher Liu weighed the roast chicken in his hand, shouted "Thank you, sir" and walked happily towards the door.
In the courtyard, Zheng De, who was smiling brightly, saw Gu Ning'an closing the door and said, "Mr. Gu, you are in for a treat tonight. My wife made some meat buns, just like the ones you had last time. "
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an shook the roast chicken in his hand: "Then there will be a lot of meat and vegetables tonight."
Zheng De rubbed his hands and looked like he was hesitating to speak: "But my wife, she has this problem with eating raw meat..."
"Eat first, I have to think about your wife's affairs."
Somehow, although Gu Ning'an did not give a positive answer, Zheng De believed 100% that he could restore his wife to a normal diet.
After all, I have no mouth to speak and no ears to hear. Isn't this all caused by Mr. Gu's magic?
…
"Mr. Gu, how is my wife? Why don't you take a pulse?"
"She hasn't eaten anything this day. Why don't we give her some raw meat?"
"But she has no mouth..."
"Madam, is there any crack in your neck?"
After chattering for four or five more words in a row, Zheng De was finally given a lesson by his wife, and then he shrank his neck and stopped.
On the side, Gu Ning'an discovered a difference after using his magic power to explore the three souls of Tan Bing and Zheng De.
First of all, Zheng De, like other people with demonic intentions in their bodies, the demonic intentions hidden in the three souls are in a completely closed state, like a cold and silent stone... But Tan Bing's is different. The demonic intention is like a beating spark, while constantly surging, it gradually develops in the direction of flames.
The cause of this different phenomenon was actually the fetus in Tan Bing's belly.
The fetus in Tan Bing's belly has condensed the three souls of heaven, earth and man, and it seems that the "mother" has been invaded by a "foreign object".
The three souls of his fetus were constantly colliding towards the demonic intention!
Therefore, this silent evil spirit "awakened" on its own after being attacked by Tan Bing's child...
"He is a filial child." Gu Ning'an couldn't help but smile, and then he flicked out a magic light and blended into Tan Bing's abdomen.
In an instant, the three immature souls that were constantly hitting the demonic intention stopped. The demonic intention that turned into sparks did not change, and it did not continue to expand when it was not attacked.
At this time, Zheng De saw Gu Ning'an frowning and saying something unclear. Unable to bear it, he said, "Sir, who is a filial child?"
"Your child..." Gu Ning'an had just finished speaking when the couple opposite stood up and asked in unison: "What happened to our child!"
Seeing this, Gu Ning'an smiled and pressed his hand, telling them not to worry. At the same time, he briefly explained why he said that and Tan Bing's current physical condition.
When they heard that their child wanted to protect Tan Bing, which made him behave like this, the couple's reactions were completely opposite.
Tan Bing was so moved that if he hadn't been blind, he might have burst into tears.
Zheng De was cursing, and claimed that when the child was born, he must teach him a lesson and let him know that if you don't have diamonds, you shouldn't get a porcelain job.
However, just such words of distress for his wife almost prevented Zheng De from being beaten into a cripple by his wife...
The young couple were arguing for a while, and Zheng De looked at Gu Ning'an again, raised his hands and asked, "Sir, when will that lady's face return to normal?"
Gu Ning'an paused and said: "The specific time depends on when the evil spirit that turned you into this will be found out."
"When the evil spirits are eliminated, you can return to normal."
Hearing this, Zheng De laughed and said with a smile: "Sir, I am not possessed by evil spirits, why are you talking about you?"
Gu Ning'an raised his eyes and said, "By the way, I didn't tell you before...when you were listening to a book in the teahouse, your facial features also disappeared."
"It's just that you don't have a child in your belly to help you...the real evil spirits haven't taken action yet, so you are normal for the time being."
"Mom!" Zheng De slapped his forehead and showed a look of realization: "I am also possessed... Then I won't worry."
Tan Bing said: "Ms. sir, what are you worried about?"
"That's not to worry about you becoming an evil spirit. I didn't. People's lifespans are definitely not as long as those of evil spirits... If I die faster than you, won't there be no one to take care of you?" When Zheng De was talking, He also stepped forward and took Tan Bing's hand.
Under the hijab, Tan Bing's cheeks turned red and he said angrily: "Mr. Gu is still here, you are in good shape."
Zheng De said nonchalantly: "Mr. Gu is a member of his own family, what are you afraid of?"
"Mr. Gu, do you think so?" As he spoke, Zheng De turned his head to look at Gu Ning'an's original location, and was shocked to find that the place was empty and there was no trace of anyone...
