After arresting the ghost and leaving Tao's house, Zhu Yuanyu released him. First time, dear
From the male ghost's words, we learned that he was Master Tao, and the man he married was a fly demon.
Not long after he passed the door, Mr. Tao was killed by the fly demon and made into a puppet, and his body became a petri dish for larvae. The fly demon controlled him to do evil and began to use the power of the Tao family to harm the people of Youxi City.
Master Tao's soul was trapped and could not be resurrected. He could only watch as the servants of the Tao family were used as petri dishes one by one. The fly demon even killed four people every few days and fed her with their fresh flesh and blood. future generations.
The fly demon's desire is growing day by day, and she has turned the Tao family's property "Yelai Inn" into a den of thieves where she sucks the anger of the people.
Every man who comes to Yuelai Inn to enjoy delicious food will unknowingly eat maggots into his stomach. Then the maggots in his stomach begin to take root and sprout, constantly sucking the life of the host. Therefore, every man in Youxi City looks like a starving citizen. His face turned sallow and his body became thinner and thinner until he lost his life.
After completing the task, the maggots will pupate into worms in the man's body, turn into flies, disembowel the dead man's body and fly back to the fly demon.
The fly demon obtains its strength from the reproduction of flies.
To put it bluntly, she is a fly demon formed by a large group of flies. Her body is a group of flies, so Zhu Yuanyu easily split her in half with a thunder whip.
The operator is gone, no matter how strong the shell of the giant fly is, it will still fall back to its original shape with the operator.
Any man who has eaten maggots at the Yuelai Inn will never forget them, and will deliver them to his door without being forced, as if he is addicted. As for why the woman is okay, it may be because the anger the fly demon needs must also contain sufficient masculine energy, and women are yin, so it is naturally difficult to find sufficient masculinity in women.
The water tank that Zhu Yuanyu destroyed before was a maggot container that the fly demon used to place in the Yuelai Inn. Because of the illusion, all the cook saw was a tank of water, a tank of edible water that could be used for cooking and cooking.
In this way, under the various machinations of the fly demon, the men of Youxi City fell into a desperate situation.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanyu really had to admire the courage of this fly demon. If she hadn't been unlucky enough to meet him, maybe Youxi City would have really become the base camp of the fly demon, a town with only women.
No, maybe there won’t even be women in the future. Don’t forget that there are still two fox demons eyeing her, especially the fox demon Xiaowei who will change her skin in a month!
By then, Youxi City will only become a dead city.
Zhu Yuanyu felt terrible just thinking about it.
Back at Yuelai Inn, Cui Er's eyes turned red as soon as she saw the circles on his arms, and she ran to get the medicine without saying a word.
Qi Ao's face was unusually gloomy. He stared at his wound without saying a word until Cui'er brought the medicine and said, "I'll give the medicine to the young master. You go and get a basin of water and come back. The young master can't wear these clothes anymore."
Cui'er nodded, turned around and ran to fetch water without saying anything. Zhu Yuanyu even saw her raising her hand to wipe her face, because she couldn't be sure whether she was wiping tears because she was carrying it behind her back.
Li Zhuangzhuang said angrily: "Who is it! Who hurt the young master! I will avenge the young master!"
Zhu Yuanyu waved his hand with his other good hand, "I've solved it." After saying that, he glanced at Qi Ao and found that the other person's face was even more ugly.
I had promised others that there would be no danger before going out, but I came back with injuries. The slap in the face really hurt...
"Cough!" Zhu Yuanyu cleared his throat and whispered: "It's just a minor injury, don't worry."
"Master! How can you not take your body seriously! You have lost so much blood! Can this be called a minor injury? How sad it would be if the master and his wife knew about it!"
Zhu Yuanyu originally told Qi Ao, but Li Zhuangzhuang immediately roared with a very sad expression on his face: "You hurt me."
He felt that if he hadn't been injured at the moment, maybe Li Zhuangzhuang would have grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously.
Zhu Yuanyu smiled awkwardly, almost not daring to face Li Zhuangzhuang's gaze.
But soon, he found that the person next to him who had remained silent put more pressure on him, and he almost wanted to run away.
Seeing that people were uncomfortable being stared at by him, Qi Ao said quietly: "Didn't the young master say that there will be no danger? Then what are these blood stains on your body?"
"Alas..." Qi Ao sighed softly and said helplessly: "Does the wound hurt?"
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly felt like he was a child. Now he had gotten into trouble and was being educated by his parents. He felt extremely ashamed.
The other person is obviously younger than you, so why are you so unsure in front of him?
"It doesn't hurt." Zhu Yuanyu shook his head.
Qi Ao felt very distressed. When Zhu Yuanyu untied his clothes and saw the hideous wound, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. If he could, he would crush the person who dared to hurt the young master to ashes.
Zhu Yuanyu glanced sideways at his wound. He didn't think it was serious. With his constitution, the wound could be healed in a few days, and not a single scar would be left.
So he didn't take it seriously and said, "I was careless this time. Don't worry, the wound will heal in a few days." His blood will not be in vain.
Qi Ao pursed his lips and applied the medicine to him without saying a word.
Li Zhuangzhuang also glared at him and cried to him if he had any disagreement.
Zhu Yuanyu touched his nose and finally said nothing more.
Qi Ao applied the medicine very lightly, and Zhu Yuanyu felt as if feathers were brushing against his skin, causing a burst of itching.
After dodging, Qi Ao grabbed his wrist and said in a low voice: "Master, don't move."
He said it as if he was joking. Zhu Yuanyu twitched the corner of his mouth, suddenly a little aggrieved, "Itchy..."
Qi Ao paused, glanced at Zhu Yuanyu, and continued to apply the medicine.
But this time he controlled the strength, and Zhu Yuanyu didn't feel itching anymore.
After wrapping the wound with a strip of cloth, Qi Ao swept his chest intentionally or unintentionally, then slowly stepped away to let him stand up and change his clothes.
"Master, my maid will give you a scrub."
Cui'er twisted her face towel and walked up. Her eyes were still red. It looked like she had really cried just now.
Zhu Yuanyu's upper body was bare, and it felt weird to have a girl wipe him. So he shook his head gently, his eyes falling on Qi Ao, "Let Qi Ao do it."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ao immediately took the face towel from Cui'er's hand and wiped it carefully, carefully avoiding the wound.
After wiping, he personally helped him put on another clean robe. The service was so considerate that it almost moved him to tears.
Zhu Yuanyu held back a sentence: "Thank you."
Qi Ao's gloomy face eased somewhat, and he let out a soft "Huh".
Even if this matter is revealed.
Zhu Yuanyu took a nap and it was already dark when he woke up.
The room was lit, and the three subordinates sat quietly not far away.
"Master, are you awake?" Qi Ao was the first to notice that he had woken up. He stood up and came over with a cup of tea.
"Well" Zhu Yuanyu sat up. Just when he felt his mouth was dry, he saw Qi Ao hand over the teacup. He reached out to take it, but the teacup moved away.
Qi Ao simply sat on the edge of the bed, put the tea cup to Zhu Yuanyu's lips, "I'll feed you."
"..."
Zhu Yuanyu felt helpless. It was just his arm that was injured, not his palm. It was so fragile anywhere. However, looking at Qi Ao's determined face, he still took a sip of tea gently.
Qi Ao's eyes dimmed slightly, his fingers gently traced his chin, and he quickly took it back.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanyu was stunned for a moment.
"There are water stains." Qi Ao said nonchalantly.
"Oh." Zhu Yuanyu nodded, "Let's go, I feel a little hungry, let's go eat."
Qi Ao put down the tea cup, knelt down on one knee and picked up a shoe.
Zhu Yuanyu paused and put his foot down, but his ears felt a little warm.
I always feel weird, like something is wrong...
Qi Ao held the soles of his feet, and Zhu Yuanyu immediately felt the warmth of his palms penetrate through the thin socks, instantly causing numbness to creep up his spine.
He shrank his feet subconsciously, and Qi Ao immediately grasped them firmly.
"Qi Ao?"
"Well."
Qi Ao came back from his thoughts, put the shoes on his feet, and stood up again.
After having dinner at another restaurant, Zhu Yuanyu and the others walked around the street for a few times, and then returned to Yuelai Inn when it was getting late.
In Li Zhuangzhuang's room, when Zhu Yuanyu went out in the morning, the little scholar came back with the doctor and found that his classmate was not there. After asking why, he had no reason to stay. Before leaving, he left a letter of thanks to him. Zhu Yuanyu saw I just laughed a little afterwards.
Zhu Yuanyu said to Qi Ao and the others: "I don't need anyone to serve me here anymore. You can go back to your room and rest. Refresh yourself and we will continue our journey tomorrow."
After the lights were turned off and the moon reached its zenith, Zhu Yuanyu got up secretly again.
He had said that he would go to the old couple's house at night to deal with the matter, because he was afraid that Qi Ao and the others would disagree and be worried. After all, he came back injured in the morning, so he could only go alone without telling them.
I touched my arm, it no longer hurts.
Zhu Yuanyu walked to the door softly and slowly opened the door.
squeak——
After a pause, he raised his ears and listened to the sounds in the next room. He was relieved when he didn't hear any strange noises.
He walked out of the room quietly, and this time the door closed without making any sound.
Zhu Yuanyu went downstairs, only to find that the door downstairs had been closed, so he could only go around to the backyard.
The back door was also locked.
He turned around and finally found something to climb around a corner.
It was a larger water tank than the one in the kitchen. He probably broke the one in the kitchen, so he bought a new one to replace it... I just don’t know why it was placed in the backyard. It turns out It's placed in the back kitchen, so it's convenient to use water.
But that's fine, it just makes it convenient for him.
Zhu Yuanyu supported the wall, climbed up the water tank and stepped on the edge. He carefully adjusted his position.
The height of the water tank combined with his height allowed him to easily exceed the height of the wall, and he had an unobstructed view of the alley outside the back door.
With a little help, Zhu Yuanyu climbed over the wall.
In fact, he could use his spiritual power to walk out easily, but he didn't want to waste his spiritual power on such a trivial matter, lest any accidents happen later.
The moon is still bright tonight, and the streets are quiet with no pedestrians.
Occasionally, there was a vague sound of a break from the distance, and a few wild cats neighed. Zhu Yuanyu walked alone on the street, turning his back to the moonlight and looking at the shadows on the ground.
His memory was good. Even though the night changed all the street scenes, he still successfully found the old couple's home.
He stood in front of the door and called the three Ah Piao over.
The three Ah Piao did not come from other places, but suddenly passed through the door of the old couple's house, which shocked Zhu Yuanyu.
Although he felt that the three Ah Piao might be related to the old couple, it was confirmed at once, and Zhu Yuanyu also felt a little uncomfortable.
"You...live here?"
Zhu Yuanyu pointed to the old couple's home.
The three Ah Piao raised their heads and looked at them expressionlessly for a while...nodding slowly.
It seems that the impact of not recovering his sanity is still quite big.
Zhu Yuanyu scratched his chin with his index finger, thought for a moment, formed a seal with his hands, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up around him, lifting up the sleeves of his robe.
The three Ah Piao gradually emitted white light, and when the white light disappeared, a look of excitement appeared in their eyes.
Seeing their confused faces, Zhu Yuanyu said: "After your death, your souls still care about this world, so you did not reincarnate. I will give you a chance now - are the old couple living here your relatives? ?”
The three apiaos were stunned and glanced at each other. The male ghost said lightly: "The one who lives... in... here... is..."
"Your parents?" Zhu Yuanyu interrupted him and refused to let him continue. This was really torturous.
The male ghost nodded and said: "It's..." and tears flowed down as he spoke.
He remembered that he, his wife, and son had all died of illness, leaving only a pair of elderly parents at home.
All the beautiful and warm things in the past no longer exist after their death. But because they missed their elders, they did not reincarnate after death, so they were stuck at home and wandered around unconsciously all day long.
Seeing the three Ah Piao shedding tears in front of his eyes, Zhu Yuanyu bit the bullet and knocked on the door.
Although it's not good to disturb others so late, it's better to face the faucet that can't be turned off - Zhu Yuanyu thought silently.
After knocking for a while, an old voice came from inside, which was quite energetic——
"Who is it? It's midnight! Is there something urgent?"
The old man babbled and pulled the bolt and opened the door.
"Who are you……"
Zhu Yuanyu said: "Old man, don't you recognize me? We even helped you and the old lady fight off the bad guys that day!"
The old man slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, oh! It's you, little brother! Why did you come to my house? What's the matter?"
"Can you let me go in and talk?"
"Hey, okay! Come in, come in..." The old man stepped aside and bolted the door again after Zhu Yuanyu entered.
The old man walked aside and asked: "Little brother, you are really energetic so late... If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow morning. Old man, I work almost every day..."
Zhu Yuanyu didn't reply, but glanced at the three Ah Piao who had been following closely since he saw the old man.
"Little brother? Why don't you speak?"
Zhu Yuanyu stopped.
"Uncle, do you want to see your son, daughter-in-law and grandson again?" In another way.
The old man was stunned, his lips were trembling, and he asked in disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
Zhu Yuanyu sighed softly, "Although it is a bit incredible, the souls of your sons and others do still exist in this world."
"Can...really be able to meet them?"
At some point, the old woman came out and looked at Zhu Yuanyu expectantly.
The old man was startled, "Why did you come out?"
The old woman ignored him and just looked at Zhu Yuanyu.
Zhu Yuanyu pursed his lips, took out two talismans from his jade pendant, and said, "Wear this on your body, and you can see it." What he didn't say was that the talismans could only allow them to see the three Apiaos related to them, and other ghosts. It's invisible; it's for their own good, otherwise it wouldn't be a good idea to attract other ghosts.
The old woman didn't even hesitate, she took the talisman away from Zhu Yuanyu's hand and put it into the lapel of her clothes like a treasure. Then she opened her eyes and her eyes instantly became wet.
"My Abao..."
She saw the three apiao floating behind the old man, and walked over tremblingly.
The male ghost named A Bao knelt down and hugged the old woman's legs, crying bitterly.
"Mommy, my child misses you so much——"
The old woman cried inconsolably, and while crying, she beat the male ghost on the back, but unfortunately it penetrated.
She was stunned for a moment, realizing that what she saw before her was just the ghost of her son, so she cried even louder and began to complain about the injustice of God, why she, an old woman, was allowed to give up her old life to a black-headed man.
Because of her contact with ghosts, the old woman's shadow became shadowy, and this change was clearly visible under the moonlight.
Seeing this, the old man didn't have any doubts. He immediately took away another talisman and naturally met his long-missed son and the others.
The family is reunited.
Zhu Yuanyu waited for them to calm down before saying: "Stop standing outside, let's go inside."
The old man came back to his senses and bowed to him with a grateful expression, "My benefactor..."
Zhu Yuanyu quickly jumped away and waved his hands, "Old man, what are you doing..."
The male ghost Abao knelt down on the spot, er, knelt down while floating, and said movedly: "My benefactor, please accept my worship!"
Zhu Yuanyu couldn't bear it anymore, so he gestured to stop and said seriously: "I'll leave if you keep doing this! Get up quickly!"
After some delay, the old man finally understood, so he asked his son to get up, for fear of really scaring his benefactor away.
The male ghost Abao had no choice but to pull his wife and son up beside him, but he still made a bow, although it looked a bit indecent.
After entering the house, Zhu Yuanyu stopped delaying and told him his purpose.
"...That's it. I can't stand your nephew, so that's why I thought this way."
"Since the second elder's son, daughter-in-law and grandson are not willing to leave to reincarnate, why not stay for now, not only to drive away the scoundrel, but also to provide for the second elder's retirement..."
"When the two of us die, we can go to reincarnation together..."
"Don't worry about anything else. Put away the talisman I gave you. You already know its function..."
"That's it, it's up to you to decide if you agree or not."
After talking for a long time, Zhu Yuanyu felt a little thirsty, but there was no tea for him to drink, so he could only endure it for the time being and wait until he returned to Yuelai Inn.
The old couple discussed for a while and finally agreed to Zhu Yuanyu's suggestion.
Zhu Yuanyu nodded, smiled and said: "That's it, it's too late, I'm going back... don't send it away."
