There are very few people on the road, and occasionally you can see someone coming out to clear the snow. The morning market was also very deserted and sparse.
Li Chuan found a noodle stall and sat down, ordering two bowls of minced pork noodles. Soon, the hot noodles were served. While he was eating noodles, he was still thinking about what happened last night.
When he finished the last mouthful of soup, he suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.
Could it be that Immortal Yunyi tried to fight with him but failed, so he could only break it into pieces and tell him, which made him very tired, so he finally gave him a cup of Fengling Immortal Tea to help him boost his IQ, right?
What does the so-called spiritual deficiency mean that he is too stupid?
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mei asked when she saw Li Chuan holding a bowl motionless.
"Nothing, just think about something." Li Chuan put down the bowl half-heartedly, and then saw Jiang Mei finishing the noodles and drinking up all the noodle soup. He breathed a sigh of relief and decided to read a few more pages of "The Classic of Patterns" when he went back to see if the fairy tea was really useful or a bluff.
At this time, the number of people in the morning market was gradually increasing, and the noodle stall was almost full.
When Li Chuan was about to get up and leave, a man walked quickly to his table and said, "Dr. Li, are you coming to have breakfast too?"
Li Chuan felt that the man looked familiar. He looked through his memories and remembered that he was a scholar named Feng who lived in the town and studied in the same school as him. The two of them have always been a bit at odds with each other. There is no specific conflict, they just dislike each other.
Li Chuan turned around and asked casually: "Yes, why are you here?"
Feng Xiucai said: "My father-in-law lives here. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will send something over."
After a few words of greeting, Feng Xiucai seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Dr. Li, can you go outside and say a few words?"
Li Chuan said: "Okay."
After that, they walked out and walked to a quiet place. Feng Xiucai suddenly apologized to Li Chuan and said: "Dr. Li, I was blind to the truth and did many wrong things before. I now know that I was wrong. I……"
"What happened to you?" Li Chuan interrupted Feng Xiucai and asked directly: "Did you encounter a ghost or a monster?"
"It's not me, it's... it's..." Feng Xiucai hesitated for a long time.
Li Chuan became a little impatient and said, "I still have something to do. How about you come to my house to find me after you have thought about it?"
"Yes... I suspected that my son was possessed by a monster." Feng Xiucai finally said it. When he went on to explain the specific situation, his words became smoother and said: "I only got a son when I was the eldest son. I was getting old again, and saw that there was no hope for the scientific examination, so I focused all my energy on him. He was up to par, sensitive and eager to learn. He could compose poems at the age of six. Now he is nine, and he can already write better articles than me. ”
Li Chuan calculated his age and found that Feng Xiucai was only one year older than him, so his son was already nine years old. So he interrupted Feng Xiucai again and said, "How did you find out something was wrong?"
Feng Xiucai also realized that something was wrong with him. He stopped talking and said, "But about three months ago, he suddenly refused to go to school and used knives and guns at home every day. There were also changes in his diet. Eat meat at every meal.”
"This doesn't mean anything, right?" Li Chuan said.
"That's not all," Feng Xiucai said. "One night, I heard some noises coming from his room, so I hid under the window and listened. I heard that he seemed to be eating and talking with many people. They seemed to be discussing what to do. I couldn't quite hear what he was doing. But in the morning, when the door opened, he was the only one who came out. When asked about what happened last night, he only said that he went back to the house and went to sleep. It’s dawn.”
"Did you hear wrongly?" Li Chuan asked.
"No, when I was hiding under the window that day, they suddenly opened the window and threw a wine glass out, which hit me on the head." Feng Xiucai pointed to a spot on his forehead and said, "It's almost fine now. Before, It was so swollen, and the wine glass is still at my home."
"Have you looked at other Taoist monks? For example, the nearby Chongfu Temple." Li Chuan continued to ask.
"Of course they have looked for it... Not only did they not see the problem, they also made my son hate me, saying that if I continue to do this, he will deny me as his father..." Feng Xiucai said, tears were about to fall. He said, "Although my Feng family is not a rich family, since I was a child, I have tried my best to help him find whatever he wanted. Even if he said that he wanted to abandon literature and join the martial arts, I couldn't persuade him anymore, so I would just let him. I bought him a sword and hired a master for him, but he actually..."
"I can go take a look." Li Chuan said.
After hearing this, Feng Xiucai said: "Thank you, Dr. Li. I was so sorry to you before, saying that you were a sick man. Even if you were successful, you would not be able to reach the capital..."
"I'll just take a look. It may not be able to solve your son's problem." Li Chuan emphasized.
"I know, just go and have a look... When the time comes, don't say you are here to remove demons, just say you are here to talk to me about knowledge." Feng Xiucai said, and made arrangements, "Wait At night, we secretly go to his house and drive the monster out of my son's body when he is not prepared."
"I may have to bring a monk with me," Li Chuan said. "He works at Chongfu Temple and is very accomplished in the field of demon elimination."
"This..." Feng Xiucai hesitated and said, "My son can't see a monk or a Taoist priest now. When he sees him, he makes a fuss, throws things and smashes walls." He said, "Can't I aggrieve the master and accompany him secretly? After the monster is eliminated, can I make it up to him?"
"You have to ask him." Li Chuan thought for a while and asked, "When will you go back? I have something to do today, and I won't be able to leave for you until tomorrow at the earliest."
"The day after tomorrow, I originally planned to go back the day after tomorrow." Feng Xiucai made an appointment with Li Chuan at a time and place, and said many words of gratitude before leaving.
Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. After walking out, he saw Jiang Mei waiting outside. He said, "I have received a job as a housekeeper. I will go to town for a walk the day after tomorrow."
"I heard it, and I will go with you." Jiang Mei said.
Li Chuan was a little surprised. He said, "If you go, Director Jiang, then I won't mention this matter to Wu Kong."
"No need," Jiang Mei shook his head and said, "My methods may not be as good as his in catching monsters. The scholar just now had a layer of black energy on his face. I guess he did encounter something at home. I’ll go and take a look, just in case something unexpected happens.”
"Okay." Li Chuan said.
After that, they strolled around the morning market and bought a lot of things. When they returned home, they heard a scream coming from the house. From the sound, it should be Gong Er.
Li Chuan was anxious, ran forward in two or three steps, and opened the door. Then he saw a five or six-year-old child, wearing only a red bellyband, running around in the yard with his bare buttocks.
When he saw Li Chuan, he immediately rushed towards him, "Big brother, big brother, look, I can change!"
Li Chuan covered his eyes with painful hands and said, "Change back first!"
