Opening the door, Li Zhuangzhuang was changing gauze for Tong Bao.
Zhu Yuanyu walked over and saw that the burnt place had begun to grow tender new flesh, but the person was still awake.
Three days have passed since the fire, and Tong Bao was the only one who survived the fire. People from the government came to investigate, but in the end nothing was found, so they had no choice but to let it go. But at least someone was sent to help collect and bury the bones of Tong Bao's family.
No one thought that Tong Bao, who was burned to coke, could still survive. Even those who put out the fire that night thought Zhu Yuanyu was taking Tong Bao away when they saw him collecting the body.
Zhu Yuanyu knew that the matter was not that simple, but if he wanted to verify it, he had to wait for the person involved to wake up.
At that time, the person was burnt, and pieces of flesh would fall off if he moved. Only with the help of kind people and borrowing a cart, Zhu Yuanyu and Qi Ao were able to push the person back to the inn.
Zhu Yuanyu was not stingy and used all the healing talismans, and then he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Tong Bao gradually regain his vitality.
Because the dressing had to be changed, Cui'er, a woman, was inconvenient to take care of her, so this task fell on Li Zhuangzhuang.
Although Li Zhuangzhuang looks like a rough guy, he actually has a careful side. Zhu Yuanyu felt relieved after seeing him bandage Tong Bao once.
Li Zhuangzhuang changed the gauze, packed the replaced ones, and took them out to burn according to Zhu Yuanyu's instructions.
"I know you are conscious." Zhu Yuanyu looked at Tong Bao's face wrapped in gauze and said softly: "It's just that you would rather sleep in a dream than wake up and face the cruelty of reality."
"How can I help you if you're just like this? Did your family die in vain?"
The child on the bed trembled violently, and a low whimper came out of his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyu immediately felt relieved. As long as he wakes up, he is most afraid of not waking up. No matter how he treats it, it will be useless.
Then he continued: "You haven't eaten much in the past few days, are you hungry?"
""
"It's okay if you don't want to talk, but it's not okay if you don't want to eat."
""
"Do you still need me to feed you? I am still confident about this. Have you seen Mao Tou, right? I feed such a big one."
Qi Ao: "" As soon as I came in, I heard my young master bragging and felt tired.
Zhu Yuanyu saw Qi Ao and said as if nothing was wrong: "I just cooked fresh fish porridge today, but it's not suitable for you to eat. Now that you're awake, I'll ask Cui'er to prepare lighter porridge for you."
Without giving him a chance to refute, Zhu Yuanyu called Cui'er and gave orders. Within half an hour, he and Li Zhuangzhuang brought everyone's meals.
Because she often runs the small stove, the staff in the inn's kitchen are familiar with Cui'er, and they gave her extra money, so they just let her mess around in it.
Even Li Zhuangzhuang has almost become friends with the chef in charge, just less than brothers.
Whenever he got something delicious, the chef would invite Li Zhuangzhuang to have a drink or two, but every time Zhu Yuanyu would turn a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted.
In this way, Qi Ao seems to be more competent.
However, in Zhu Yuanyu's view, it is more like surveillance than competence.
Especially when Zhu Yuanyu was alone in Tong Bao's room, Qi Ao was a hundred worried. Often, as soon as the young master arrives, the loyal guard will follow him, just like a candy, more clingy than a hairy head.
After everyone had eaten, even Tong Bao, who wanted to go on a hunger strike, was forcefully opened by Li Zhuangzhuang and fed a bowl of porridge. Just when Zhu Yuanyu was sleepy and wanted to go back to his room to rest, Lu Lu flew in with fluttering wings.
Taking off the bamboo tube, taking out the paper inside and unfolding it, Zhu Yuanyu's lips curled up.
Cui'er asked curiously: "Master, is there something happy at home?"
Zhu Yuanyu smiled mysteriously: "I can't say for the time being. However, our journey is coming to an end."
"ah?!"
Zhu Yuanyu put the note away and said: "Although I'm not asked to go back, I'm not worried. I'll leave the remaining places I haven't gone to for the future."
The master didn't say anything, and the servants couldn't ask more questions, so Cui'er nodded and said: "But it's up to the young master to make the decision. I just want to let the young master tell me when to set off, so that I can pack my bags."
Zhu Yuanyu said "hmm", but thought in his heart: After all, he can't leave until Tong Bao's affairs are settled.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the person on the bed.
Probably because he heard the conversation between their master and servant, Tong Bao quietly opened his eyes at some point. His eyes seemed indifferent to anything, but if he looked carefully, tears could be seen faintly.
After all, he was reluctant to leave, so Zhu Yuanyu asked: "Can you go home with me then?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he stood up, stretched his body, and left calmly.
That night, the tranquility was broken again.
Zhu Yuanyu looked coldly at the female ghost who was bound by the talisman, and said with a smile: "I don't even ask who sent you here. I just deal with you and collect some interest from the Tong family first!"
After speaking, he muttered words and urged the talisman to bind tighter and tighter, which was likely to strangle the female ghost to death. This frightened the female ghost to scream for mercy.
Zhu Yuanyu was so angry that he couldn't even sleep well in the middle of the night. Isn't it hard for him, a sleepy person? So he ignored the female ghost's plea for mercy and chanted a few words faster.
The female ghost desperately wanted to fight back, but she didn't have the ability. I saw its figure gradually thinning, and suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely dissipated in this world.
Zhu Yuanyu had just relieved himself, but then he became a little annoyed. He secretly blamed himself for getting out of bed so angry that he acted cruelly for no reason.
Although the female ghost did deserve it for her many evil deeds, there was no need to rush for a while. At least she had to attract the person behind the scenes to come out. Now I'm afraid it would take some effort.
But when he saw Tong Bao's expression of relief, he forgot about his previous annoyance.
It finally relieves a little grudge, right?
It was expected that there would be no more trouble tonight, so Zhu Yuanyu let everyone who had woken up rest in peace. Tomorrow he would start following clues to find out the person behind the scenes.
Early the next morning, Tong Bao's spirit was much better than yesterday, and at least he was willing to reply.
Tweetie asked him what kind of porridge he wanted to drink, and he was silent for a long time. Tweetie didn't show any impatience at all, just waiting for his answer.
Tong Bao couldn't resist, so he uttered: "Is there any shredded chicken porridge?"
Cui'er immediately beamed: "Even if it doesn't happen and you open your mouth, there must be something!" Then she hurriedly went off.
Zhu Yuanyu laughed on the side, and after finishing breakfast, he said to Tong Bao with a serious face: "I only talked to you after the meal because I was afraid that it would affect your appetite."
After taking a look at Tong Bao's face, he saw that there was nothing wrong with him and then continued: "Your family affairs."
"It's not an accident, right?"
Zhu Yuanyu nodded: "That female ghost must have been instigated by someone."
Tong Bao lowered his eyes: "I also guessed that I was just dumb and not stupid."
Speechless for a while.
Qi Ao looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Then what do you want to do? Revenge?"
revenge? Of course I have to take revenge!
Dozens of lives! Can an "accident" cover up the past?
"If you want revenge, I can help you." Zhu Yuanyu said with a smile.
Li Zhuangzhuang shivered inexplicably. He felt that the young master's smile was too charming.
At that moment, everyone discussed it. Seeing that Tong Bao was a little tired, they couldn't bear to touch his pain anymore, so Zhu Yuanyu led the rest of the people out.
There was no one left, so Tong Bao slowly cried out in pain.
Hearing the wailing coming from inside through the door, everyone felt a little heavy for a moment.
"Master, do you have any way to find that evil person?" Cuier wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a low voice.
Qi Ao and Li Zhuangzhuang also looked over, and even Mao Tou seemed to feel something and quietly stood at Zhu Yuanyu's feet.
Zhu Yuanyu sneered: "Just watch!"
Those who dare to ruthlessly destroy the entire Tong family must have hated the Tong family. If the female ghost was able to find her last night, the person behind the scenes must also know that Tong Bao is not dead, so he must still find a chance to eradicate it.
In the past, they just sent female ghosts to harm people, but later they set people on fire. It can be seen that they were in a hurry and did not worry about the consequences.
Since he is in a hurry, he will take action as soon as possible.
Zhu Yuanyu has always been very patient. With patience, he finally waited for the expected person at night.
The man didn't seem surprised. After all, the person who could get rid of the female ghost and forced him to take action himself was definitely not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect the person to be so young.
"Did you ruin my business?"
The man's voice was unexpectedly pleasant, but it sounded slightly aged.
Zhu Yuanyu activated the talisman when the man was talking. He did not expect that the man was so insidious and would attack without even saying hello.
Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he might have suffered a small loss.
Never be careless!
The man didn't take it seriously when he saw that Zhu Yuanyu didn't get hit. He had never thought that he could knock him down so easily. Without saying anything, he released three evil spirits in succession.
The evil ghost suddenly appeared and pounced on Zhu Yuanyu with its teeth and claws.
But before he even got close, he was forced back by the purple thunder released by the talisman, and he was horrified.
The man was surprised now, and then became slightly troubled, as if he didn't know what to do.
He thought for a while, and then he probably had nothing to do, so he said in a tone that everyone had something to discuss: "I think you are also a person, but I don't know why you want to get involved in this matter? If you promise me to stop, I will be willing to How about sharing my results with you!"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanyu was indifferent, he gritted his teeth and increased the stakes: "Maybe you don't know that I told you the truth, that Tong Bao is a spirit gathering man! Does Juling know? As long as we sacrifice his soul, we can get it Incomparably powerful power! Don’t you desire it?!”
The man showed a trace of madness, but Zhu Yuanyu only frowned when he heard the three words "spirit gathering man" and then stopped responding.
The man said with red eyes: "Tonight is the best time to offer sacrifices. If you want power, you shouldn't go against me. It's only right that we join forces!"
Does Zhu Yuanyu long for power? desire. Only with strength can you protect what you want to protect.
It's just that the way he can get strength is from the right path!
Besides, he didn't envy Ju Ling at all. Because he himself can borrow spirits! It doesn’t matter how much power you have, as long as it’s enough! Greedy people will not be treated well by nature.
So he looked at the man with an expression that said, "You're unreasonable." "You're crazy."
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to meet such a strange person. Perhaps Zhu Yuanyu's tone irritated him, and he became annoyed: "In that case, don't blame me!"
Driven by him, the three evil ghosts bumped into him again, losing even their fear.
With each collision, the talisman set by Zhu Yuanyu was lost by one layer, but until the evil spirit shrank to the size of a human head, the talisman remained the same.
The man was unwilling to give in. He knew that tonight's opponent was more difficult than he thought. It seemed that it was impossible not to use what was at the bottom of the box.
Zhu Yuanyu saw the man taking off his shirt and bare arms, and then the skin of his arms suddenly bulged with fist-sized bulges. After counting, there were nine in total; the last one suddenly appeared at the throat.
The man's expression at this time was particularly ferocious in pain. The nine bulges were torn from the inside and a gap was opened. Nine evil babies came out of the gap and then stuck together, like a deformed monster.
The man was sweating like rain, but he panted triumphantly: "This is my proud work, you are dead, hahaha."
The monster made a cry like a baby, expanded rapidly as if it had been blown out, and turned into a giant monster in the blink of an eye.
This monster has the strength to match its appearance, and it can easily destroy Zhu Yuanyu's talisman.
"Hoho hoho, you saw it!" Although the man paid the price in flesh and blood and his strength was greatly reduced, he didn't feel anything at all when he thought about the spirit gatherer he was about to get.
But that person was slapped in the face.
Zhu Yuanyu admitted that the monster was indeed disgusting and had some strength, but it was not as good as the mountain god he encountered before.
Since the talisman is useless, let's do it for real!
"Thunder comes!"
As if he didn't want money, Zhu Yuanyu threw out a thunder talisman, and then dodged far away as if his buttocks were being burned.
Rumble——
The wind and clouds surged, and the huge purple thunder struck down with thunderous force, majestic and shocking.
Then the monster was dispatched with lightning speed.
"No, it's impossible!" The man fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.
Zhu Yuanyu covered his ears with both hands, looked up at the sky, and then put down his hands when he saw the thunder gradually disappearing.
Qi Ao, who had been watching the battle for a long time, asked: "What should we do with him?" He pointed at the man who seemed to be crazy.
"Leave it to Tong Bao."
Li Zhuangzhuang walked out with Tong Bao on his arm.
Zhu Yuanyu used a newly painted healing talisman for him, so he no longer needed to wrap it in gauze.
The man was sitting on the ground, bleeding from his wounds. Tong Bao could see his face clearly.
"It's you"
That person is the friend Tong Bao mentioned before.
"I'm really blind. You deliberately approached me because of the so-called 'Spirit Gathering Man'? But since the target is me, why do you want to hurt my family! Why!!" Tong Bao screamed in pain.
Li Zhuangzhuang hugged his waist to prevent him from rushing over. Who knew whether the man was still in danger.
* makes people crazy. In the eyes of madmen, human life is nothing compared to illusory delusions.
ridiculous!
What a shame!
sad!
hateful!
Zhu Yuanyu handed the sword to Tong Bao, "You decide for yourself."
Tong Bao took the sword and raised it high.
