Tong Shi gave in to Xiaojiu's screams, "I'll go with you, and I will hand her over to you intact this time." The man knelt down, buried his head in the soil, and his body twitched erratically.
He didn't want Xiaojiu to see his tears.
"Twenty years ago, you survived. This is the first chance I gave you." Shen Huaiyan counted in detail.
"A few days ago, you also survived. This is the second chance I give you." He stepped on Tong Shi's back, and with a little force, the man's spine would break.
But Shen Huaiyan didn't do that. If this man became disabled, no one would be able to cure Wen Yuan, but he was really not sure what would happen to the little demon catcher after Wen Yuan recovered.
"I never give a third chance, but I will keep you until Yuanyuan recovers." As for this girl... Shen Huaiyan glanced at Xiao Jiu, who was already unconscious, and thought that she was Tong Ju and Tong Shi. The child is disgusting.
It's no wonder that a child with a bad mind is born. Isn't this incest?
In order to stabilize Tong Shi, Shen Huaiyan could only leave her behind first, "That's it, I won't kill her for the time being."
At this moment, the little hope that ignited in Tong Shi's heart was shattered in an instant.
In the inn in Deng Town, Chi Zhaoyue had received the news from Shen Huaiyan.
"I'll be back soon"
These four simple words made Chi Zhaoyue feel much more relaxed.
He showed Chunhua the leaves that fell into his hands, "Huaiyan has found the monster hunter and he will be back soon."
"Really?!" Chunhua couldn't hide her joy, "Great! The lady can finally wake up!"
*
On the way back to Deng Town, Shen Huaiyan observed Tong Shi's attitude towards his daughter. He was indeed a loving father, but it was a pity that the birth of this daughter was a taboo mistake.
Although Shen Huaiyan used demon power to heal Xiao Jiu's injuries, she was still afraid of him because of his previous actions.
"I really don't understand you monsters. You can live for thousands of years, but you want to find an ordinary person who can only live for a few decades." Tong Shi's words were like a knife thrust into Shen Huaiyan's heart.
Not for anything else, but because he said that he could only live for a few decades. Yes, the life span of a mortal is too short. Although he and Wen Yuan had known each other for many generations, they did not end well.
The long silence made the atmosphere even lower. Only then did Xiao Jiu dare to look directly at Shen Huaiyan, "What kind of person does Wu Yuan like?"
She mustered up her courage because she wanted to know what kind of woman could make the great demon fall for her.
Mentioning Wen Yuan, Shen Huaiyan could talk about her for three days and three nights. He sighed and blurted out what he thought of her without thinking, "There is no difference in the world."
In just four words, Tong Shi fully realized what a huge mistake he had made, but it was too late for him to make up for it.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Huaiyan had no choice but to find a farmhouse to stay in the village.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't need to eat, but it doesn't matter to Xiaojiu and Tong Shi, "Brother... I'm hungry."
Xiaojiu gently tugged on Tong Shi's sleeve and covered his stomach with one hand. After hearing a cooing sound, his eyes became even more pitiful.
Tong Shi came out in a hurry and didn't bring any dry food. He was just living in a hurry and didn't know where to find food.
Shen Huaiyan, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, took out two bags of fruit from his own space and threw them to the two of them, but said nothing.
The two looked at each other, wiped the fruit clean and ate it without thinking.
While eating Xiaojiu, I was thinking that this goblin was quite kind and actually gave them fruit to eat.
All in all, the night passed peacefully and nothing happened. Early the next morning, Shen Huaiyan took the two of them on the road without giving them any time.
After five days, several people finally returned to the inn peacefully.
"I'm finally back. Come and see your little ancestor."
After saying hello to Chi Zhaoyue, Shen Huaiyan couldn't wait to rush to the room where Wen Yuan lived.
He had been thinking about the person who was lying peacefully on the bed for more than half a month, "You and Chunhua are worried about you." He held Wen Yuan in his arms, his face pressed tightly against Wen Yuan's.
"Bring out the antidote."
This time Tong Shi was honest and fed Wen Yuan the real antidote.
While waiting for Wen Yuan to wake up, Xiao Jiu kept observing her secretly, "She looks so beautiful... like the beauties in the paintings of the teacher in the village."
Her words made Shen Huaiyan soften his heart, and he stroked Wen Yuan's forehead with love in his eyes, "Chunhua, is the lady a little thinner?"
"She can't eat in this state. I lost my demonic power to her, so there's nothing I can do about losing weight..." Chi Zhaoyue was afraid that Shen Huaiyan would misunderstand Chunhua, so she quickly explained.
Shen Huaiyan didn't care much about these things, as long as his Yuanyuan was safe.
The man changed into a comfortable position and hugged Wen Yuan, "You all go out, I want to be alone with Yuan Yuan for a while."
He just hugged Wen Yuan and fell asleep. In the past half month, he had not had a good night's sleep. Only by her side could he take off all disguises and defenses.
When Shen Huaiyan woke up again, the little man in his arms had already woken up, but Wen Yuan remained in this position in his arms, leaning against him like this, feeling extremely peaceful.
"I finally woke up. I was worried to death." Shen Huaiyan kept rubbing Wen Yuan's face like a child, "Don't scare me like this anymore."
There was even a cry in his voice, which made Wen Yuan startled, "My fox...why is he more coquettish than me?"
"I'm afraid that I can't find the demon catcher, that you'll never wake up again..." Shen Huaiyan buried his face in Wen Yuan's shoulder, "Don't leave me."
I will definitely find a way to make you live forever, so that we can always be together...
The two of them stayed in this posture all afternoon. If Wen Yuan hadn't said she was hungry, Shen Huaiyan would have been reluctant to let her go, "Then I'll get you something to eat. What do you want to eat? Or eat something light." After all, I haven’t taken in food for so long.”
"Let the inn handle it. You stay here with me."
Shen Huaiyan enjoyed Wen Yuan's tenderness and caressed her face, "What do you want to eat?"
"Lotus leaf porridge and lotus seed cake."
"Okay, then I'll go out and explain to the waiter. You sit down and I'll be back in a moment." I don't know how long the two people will be separated for, Qian Dingzhu Wan ordered.
After leaving the room, Shen Huaiyan showed a rare smile in the past half month, and happened to be seen by Chi Zhaoyue, "Hey, you are alive? Look at this smile, you are so proud of the spring breeze." He never let anyone go. An opportunity to tease Shen Huaiyan.
"Okay, I came up here just to ask you what you want to eat. I asked the inn to make some and bring them over, so we can all have a meal together."
Shen Huaiyan wished it, so that he wouldn't have to go down and could hold Wen Yuan for a while longer, "A Yuan wants to eat lotus leaf porridge and lotus seed cake, um... let's order a few more side dishes, pickled melon, sweet sauce radish and so on. That’s right, let’s have some steamed shrimp.”
"Okay, then you just wait. Wen Yuan is still weak now. I will ask the waiter to bring him to your room to eat."
He was quite careful about this.
Back in the room, Shen Huaiyan and Wen Yuan mentioned Tong Shi and their past stories.
"He is also quite pitiful. His mother is the lowest prostitute in a brothel, and she is useless, which also leads to his psychological distortion. As for the fact that I killed her mother, it was because I found out that the brothel where she was working had been raping her. He kidnapped a girl from a good family and became a prostitute. In a fit of rage, he killed many people in the brothel, including his mother."
Speaking of this incident, Shen Huaiyan still regretted it, "You said that if I hadn't seen the scene of his mother using severe beatings to train the woman, I wouldn't have killed her."
"After the woman died, he became an orphan. He happened to see me killing his mother at that time. I thought he was pitiful, so I spared his life." I didn't expect that this stay would bring disaster. coming.
Wen Yuan analyzed it in his mind, and then came to a conclusion, "You killed his most important person, so he will also torture your most important person."
"That's right."
But she still didn't understand something, "Then what do these things have to do with that little girl? She is Tong Shi's sister, right?"
"She is actually the daughter of Tong Shi and his mother."
"Ah?" Wen Yuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it was true, "Then isn't this incest?"
Shen Huaiyan couldn't accept such a thing after living for so long, "Who says it's not true? Okay, okay, get up and eat, my Yuanyuan~"
He heard the voice of the waiter going upstairs, and found a big cloak for Wen Yuan to put on, "I ordered a few more side dishes and steamed shrimps for you. You can eat less of the others. You must finish the shrimps, and make up for it." Replenish the body.”
Tong Shi and Xiao Jiu also came in, and they seemed very cramped in this room.
At the dinner table, Shen Huaiyan was peeling shrimps for Wen Yuan, and Wen Yuan was drinking porridge elegantly. All of this looked like a painting in Xiao Jiu's eyes. She longed for such a life.
"Tong Shi, I forgive you for what you did to me." Wen Yuan said this out of the blue, and Shen Huaiyan stopped peeling the shrimps.
Not only him, but also Tong Shi and Chun Hua Chi Zhaoyue were all stunned.
"But I hope that as a monster hunter in the future, you can give those kind-hearted monsters a chance to live just like I gave you a chance."
Wen Yuan did this not for Tong Shi, but for Xiaojiu.
This girl seemed very cute to her. She couldn't choose her own birth, but she tried her best to live in this world, so Wen Yuan hoped that she would have relatives by her side in the future.
Everyone looked at Shen Huaiyan and saw the man continuing his movements with a gentle look on his face, "Come and eat this shrimp. I will listen to you in everything."
He agreed.
Tong Shi's expression relaxed at the dinner table. He thanked Wen Yuan for giving him such an opportunity, and he really felt that he should look at the problem with a different way of thinking. Are monsters necessarily bad? Does a person have to be the right party?
"Thank you for putting aside the past grudges..." Tong Shi thanked Wen Yuan sincerely. If it hadn't been for her, this might have been his last meal.
