The fate of this life has been exhausted. If there is an afterlife, I still want to be your relative.
The child mother reluctantly said goodbye to the child, and disappeared with the impermanence.
Although Tong Bao was reluctant to let go, he also understood that if he insisted on keeping his mother, he would only bring harm to her, so he let go in the end.
The three of them returned to the inn and spent the night without talking.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhu Yuanyu accompanied Tong Bao to take care of things.
Despite the triviality, Tong Bao successfully sold the property.
The difficulties encountered during the process were all solved one by one by Zhu Yuanyu tactfully. Even those who went too far would be secretly cast a "bad luck curse" by him, and a few days would be enough for such a villain to suffer.
Therefore, don't offend anyone but the warlock, because he will put a spell on you at any time and make you unlucky at any time.
Cui'er neatly packed her luggage, and there was no reason to stay any longer. Zhu Yuanyu and the others embarked on the return journey.
Before leaving, Tong Bao went to the ancestral grave once more to pay homage to his family. He has asked the closest members of the clan to take care of the cemetery, so that at least his family's graves will not be overgrown with weeds when he is away.
Because of the long journey, Cui Er specially packed several large bags of snacks from the most famous shop in the city, among which the candied fruits were particularly attractive.
One type of candied fruit, with a slight sugar liquid on the surface, fresh color and crisp meat, sweet and refreshing, and a very rich flavor. The only drawback is that it's sticky.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't have the habit of licking the sugar liquid off his fingers. Although he was unhappy, he wiped it with a handkerchief.
Another type of candied fruit belongs to the sand-backed type, with a dry surface and white icing sugar. The texture is crisp and relatively sweet.
Zhu Yuanyu doesn't dare to eat too much of this kind of food, because he always thinks it will be sweet to the heart. If he eats too much, he will easily get bored.
There are many kinds of flavors, but Zhu Yuanyu's favorite is the slightly salty plum type, which he never gets tired of eating.
Just as her fingers felt sticky, she suddenly heard Cui'er slap her head and say: "Ouch! I forgot the small bamboo sticks!" Then she took out a small package of small bamboo sticks wrapped in oil paper from the bundle of candied fruits. sign.
Zhu Yuanyu: ""Are you kidding me?
So he took a small bamboo stick instead, stabbed the candied fruit hard with a vindictive look, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Before they had gone far, Zhu Yuanyu unknowingly ate half of it, which frightened Cui'er so much that she quickly put it away. What if the young master hurt his teeth after eating too many sweets?
Furthermore, because I ate too many candied fruits and drank a lot of tea, I was about to feel anxious.
Sure enough, after eating too much tea, Zhu Yuanyu asked to stop the car and find a place to relieve himself.
Li Zhuangzhuang said in a loud voice: "Master, there is a small forest over there." He pointed his hand far away, as if he was pointing out the mountains and rivers.
Zhu Yuanyu looked over and saw that it was indeed very hidden, so he nodded and said, "Is anyone going with us?"
Tong Bao raised his hand: "Me too" Sweets make people feel good. In fact, he also drank a lot of tea.
Zhu Yuanyu looked again, but there was no one there.
"Okay, let's go." At least there is someone to accompany you so you won't feel lonely.
After he finished relieving himself, Tong Bao felt a chill on his back. When he looked back, he found nothing, except that Qi Ao, riding a tall horse, looked at him condescendingly.
Tong Bao: "??"
Climbing onto the carriage, Tong Bao asked Zhu Yuanyu carefully: "Did I do anything wrong?"
Zhu Yuanyu was puzzled: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Tong Bao secretly glanced out of the car window and whispered: "Qi Ao doesn't seem to like me very much?"
Zhu Yuanyu smiled: "You mean you look very cute and popular?"
Tong Bao blushed and said, "Not really."
Zhu Yuanyu said "Oh" meaningfully, looking like "I understand everything".
Tong Bao didn't dare to speak anymore.
From the opened car window, Zhu Yuanyu could see Qi Ao riding a horse in high spirits. She seemed to be aware of his gaze and turned her head. She was stunned for a moment and then smiled happily.
Zhu Yuanyu also smiled back and turned to Tong Bao: "I think you are overthinking."
Whether you think too much or not, only God knows.
The group of people hurriedly and slowly arrived at the town before dark.
Before going to bed, Zhu Yuanyu asked: "Close the doors and windows at night, and hang this on the bedside." As he said this, someone gave him a triangular-shaped yellow talisman bag.
Qi Ao took the talisman bag and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything wrong?"
Zhu Yuanyu shook his head: "I don't know yet, it's better to be careful."
As soon as he entered the city, he faintly noticed a demonic aura, but he couldn't judge whether the demons entrenched in the city were the kind of demons that did evil things based on the aura of demonic aura alone.
In the dead of night, a figure casts a shadow on the screen window.
Zhu Yuanyu opened his eyes and said: "Since you are here, why don't you come in? Do you want me to invite you?"
After finishing speaking, I saw a burst of green smoke coming in from the crack of the window edge.
A graceful woman stood quietly in front of the bed.
Qingrou said: "Young Master is very capable."
Zhu Yuanyu sat up, glanced sideways at him and said, "I don't like to listen to nonsense."
The woman was not annoyed, and still said softly: "It's my fault, sir, don't blame me. There's nothing wrong with coming here late at night. I just have something to tell you. If it's nothing important, please leave the city as soon as possible tomorrow morning." "
Zhu Yuanyu asked curiously: "Why is this? Is it possible that there are still people in this city who can't tolerate us? Why did you come here to talk about this? Isn't this ridiculous? I'm not afraid to tell you that I can't stand it when I grow up." I’ve never been afraid of anything! If you have anything, just come! I still want to see more!”
The woman said anxiously: "Absolutely not! Everything the slaves said was just for the sake of the young master. Because there is a big demon in this city who will suck the soul of a enlightened person every full moon night. Now that the young master is here, there is no way to say He is about to become one of those hundred people! No matter how powerful the young master is, how can he defeat the great demon who has been practicing for thousands of years?"
Zhu Yuanyu said: "Since it is so powerful, how dare you come here to report it? Aren't you afraid of death?"
The woman shook her head and said: "The slave family and the young master have some reasons, so I came here to inform you. When the young master entered the city, he was noticed by the big demon. The slave family sneaked out while the big demon was in seclusion to practice cultivation, hoping that the young master would understand. The slave family is working hard and will leave the city as soon as possible tomorrow morning." After saying that, he walked across the wall unsteadily.
Not long after I left, someone knocked on the door gently.
Zhu Yuanyu asked: "Who?"
"Subordinate."
"come in."
Opening the door, Qi Ao walked in holding a lamp.
Most of the originally dark room suddenly became brighter, and at least I could see clearly who was on the other side and what they looked like.
Under the illumination of candlelight, Qi Ao's facial features appeared more three-dimensional, exuding a mysterious aura.
Zhu Yuanyu was fascinated by the beauty for a moment and fell into a daze.
Qi Ao said in a deep voice: "I thought I heard the young master talking to someone next door just now. I was worried so I came over to take a look."
In fact, he was afraid that Tong Bao, a coward, would come and pester his young master!
Zhu Yuanyu's words before made people feel uneasy, especially Tong Bao. He had never believed in these stories about gods and ghosts, but his family's death was somehow related to them, so he slowly accepted it.
As soon as he heard that something was wrong, Tong Bao became suspicious. Before going to bed, he wanted to squeeze into a room with Zhu Yuanyu, which Qi Ao had to guard against.
Fortunately, it was not the case. Qi Ao felt relieved when he saw that the young master was the only one.
"Master, that subordinate has gone back."
Zhu Yuanyu said blankly: "Ah? Hmm."
Qi Ao walked slowly to the door.
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly blurted out: "How about we go together?" After saying this, he felt something strange in his heart.
Qi Ao's tiger body trembled, turned around and said: "What?!"
Zhu Yuanyu didn't dare to look directly: "No, it's nothing. Go back to sleep."
Qi Ao: "Okay."
That night, Qi Ao dreamed of Zhu Yuanyu again.
The two of them had a lot of love, and they were so happy that they were covered in sweat and soaked the quilt.
When Qi Ao woke up at dawn, he realized that most of his legs were wet, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Not daring to say anything, I quietly changed into clean underwear. As for the wet one, he balled it up and stuffed it into the innermost part of the bag. He swore that no one would know about this private matter, and he quietly disposed of it when no one was around.
