Back home, Tieniu's mother had been waiting for a long time.
"Tieniu... Tieniu, you're back, you've worried me to death." Tieniu's mother is a woman in her sixties or seventies. She has gray hair and a haggard face, which shows that she has suffered a lot. .
"Mom...I...I'm back." Tie Niu replied. He integrated Tie Niu's memory and learned a lot. Although his memory was incomplete, he thought he should have no problem dealing with this old lady.
"Tie Niu is hungry, I made some steamed buns. Come in and eat some," the old woman said.
Then Tieniu walked into the house, picked up the hot steamed buns and started eating them. The old woman's eyes were stunned, and there was a flash of doubt. Tieniu has been very filial since she was a child. She will definitely let her take the first bite at the dinner table. This will never be the case.
"Tieniu... do you still remember what day tomorrow is?" the old woman asked.
"Tomorrow...tomorrow?" Tieniu thought for a long time and shook his head, "I have no memory. I have suffered too many shocks in the past few days and my condition is not very good."
The old woman comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, I hope you're safe." The old woman was even more confused. Tomorrow was the anniversary of his father's death. How could Tieniu forget this day.
"Come, drink soup, don't just eat steamed buns." The old woman brought another bowl of bone soup and handed it to Tieniu. The life of Tieniu's family is much better than that of ordinary farm families. They can afford to eat white flour steamed buns and drink bone soup, naturally because Tieniu works in the mines.
Tieniu drank it all in one gulp and thought to himself that he felt comfortable. He also needed food now. He originally wanted to kill the woman, but he was afraid of disturbing others. Besides, it would be good to leave her to take care of his own life. He needed to eat now, but he didn't want to cook by himself. This was something he hadn't done in many years. Yes.
After Tieniu lay down, the old woman returned to her room and lit the bright stone lamp. His face was pale, filled with worry and fear. "This person is definitely not Tieniu. Who is he?" On weekdays, Tieniu would come to check the transparent stone lamp and light it in person, fearing that something would go wrong, but he did not do this at all today.
The next day, the old woman made breakfast and woke up Tieniu.
"I heard that the mine gave you two days off? I'll go to the city to buy you some fish and meat to make up for it." The old woman said.
When Tieniu heard about the fish, his eyes gleamed. He had been sealed for who knows how many years, but now his lust for words is strong. "Mom, go ahead."
The old woman took the money and food and went to Bainiaocheng alone. Their village was very close to Bainiaocheng, and you could go back and forth in the morning. It's just that the old woman has many things on her mind. If her son is really possessed by an evil thing, she or the villagers may not be able to handle it. She hopes to go to the city to report it. If she can see a master like the city lord, everything will be safe. Although this old woman is old, her mind is very delicate. She did not alert the snake at the moment of suspicion. She has worked hard all her life and is afraid that she will not be able to pull up the iron bull alone.
"Sir, listen to me, my son has really changed. He is definitely not my son. He must be evil, maybe a nightmare!" The old woman went to a team leader in charge of city defense to report. With her identity, she was naturally Can't see the city lord.
The team leader said impatiently: "Don't disturb my work. What evil spirits and nightmares? You already said that your son can move under the sun. If he is possessed by a nightmare, how can he move under the sun? I guess You think too much, go back and communicate with your son, you are not young anymore."
The team leader thought that the woman's son was unfilial, and the old woman wanted them to help punish and teach her son a lesson in the name of being evil.
"Really, I didn't lie to you. Tieniu's eyes were wrong, and his tone of voice was wrong. He...he even forgot the anniversary of his father's death. This is absolutely impossible. He is not my son Tieniu at all. Come with me and have a look." The old woman begged.
"You old woman is so unreasonable. We are soldiers in charge of city defense, not here to mediate family conflicts for you!" The team leader was a little annoyed, and his initial patience had been exhausted.
"But... but isn't it your job to deal with nightmares and evil spirits?" The old woman looked at the team leader in front of her anxiously and confusedly.
The team leader shook his head helplessly, took out a few amethyst coins and handed them to the old woman. "Old man, you go to the city to buy some delicious food, adjust your mood, and then use the money to buy some good wine and meat for your son. Let's talk about it. How can mother and son have an overnight feud? It's true that the bastard forgot the anniversary of his father's death. It’s a thing, but we really can’t go out and teach him a lesson, what the hell is this?”
The old woman did not take the money, "I don't want your money, I just ask you to send someone to come and see, Tieniu... something is really wrong with him." The old woman was so anxious that she burst into tears.
The people passing by were pointing and pointing, and the captain's scalp felt numb. This old man is really a big trouble. Others shouldn't think that I bullied her.
A young man in white clothes came over looking for the cry. He saw a soldier in armor talking to an old woman. The soldier was holding a few amethyst coins in his hand, and the old woman was crying. This young man in white is none other than Zhan Yue who was teleported here not long ago. Zhan Yue shook his head and secretly thought, the world is going downhill. What the hell is this in the Chaoyang Empire? The dignified city guards actually robbed an old woman in broad daylight.
The team leader saw Zhan Yue's expression and became a little anxious. If he was misunderstood, his career would be affected.
"You...that's you, stop, come here!" The team leader pointed at Zhan Yue and said.
Zhan Yue frowned. He couldn't stand the soldier at first, but after all, he was under the rule of others and it was difficult for him to take action. However, the soldier actually provoked him directly.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhan Yue walked over with a bad attitude. The old woman's eyes were red from crying, which made Zhan Yue feel a little unbearable and felt that she should teach this bitch a lesson.
"Old man, look at it. Look at other people's cannibalistic eyes. I've been misunderstood by others. Really, really don't pester me anymore. Just accept the money. I'm begging you. "The squad leader said.
Zhan Yue was startled when he heard this. Things seemed to be different from what he imagined.
The old woman did not accept the money, but looked at Zhan Yue, "Young Master, this officer did not bully me."
"Then you cry so sadly?" Zhan Yue asked puzzled.
The old woman then told the whole story of what happened, and the squad leader sighed, finally clearing his name.
Zhan Yue felt his scalp numb when he heard this, "Old man, are you really sure there is something wrong with your son?"
The old woman nodded, extremely determined.
"Zhan Yue, go and have a look. If there really is a night dire that can possess a living person and can move during the day, it would be a big deal. I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist." came the voice of the goddess of transparency.
"But the Night Dire that can move under the sun must be very strong. Can I beat it?" Zhan Yue asked worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here." said the Tongming Goddess. She has her own secret method to protect Zhan Yue.
"Okay." Zhan Yue agreed.
"Old man, I am also a contractor. I will go back with you to take a look. If there is anything abnormal, how about we come back and report it to the official?" Zhan Yue asked.
"You? I'm afraid you are no match for that evil spirit." The old man was a little worried.
Zhan Yue patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'm much better than this guy, and I'm just observing and confirming, I don't necessarily have to conflict with him."
The squad leader's scalp was numb, and he didn't know whether to thank or blame Zhan Yue for a moment, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.
"Yes, thank you very much, sir." The old woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, bought some fish, and led Zhan Yue home.
