The sound of leather shoes on the wooden stairs attracted everyone to look over.
Sijun, the young master of the Ma'anshan Marquis's Mansion, stands as steady as a jade tree before the wind, as if nothing happened...if he wasn't on the stairs.
Who would suddenly stop halfway up the stairs? It's like taking a photo for a magazine.
Xia Yuzhou touched his nose and tried hard to hold back his smile.
The big knight who was following Si Jun hurriedly took two steps, and continued the report just now: "We met that one on the road. It looks a bit like the one that appeared in the city, but we can't be sure it's the same one."
Si Jun lifted his feet and continued to go upstairs, walking towards the crowd, but never looked at Xia Yuzhou: "Issuing a warning, Yuanyue Lake bans hunting tonight."
"Yes." The big knight nodded, and immediately took out his mobile phone to fiddle with it a few times.
Everyone's mobile phones beeped, and it was a push message from the "Blood Alliance Online Business Hall". Xia Yuzhou clicked to read:
[Warning: There have been werewolves in the Yanjing area recently. Tonight, the hunting area-Zhonggu Lane Bar Street, University City, and Yuanyue Lake.]
Click on it in the app, and a map of Yanjing City will pop up. The areas where hunting is prohibited are marked with red crosses, and the range is circled in detail.
"There really are werewolves!" The son who also registered the app was surprised, "What does a werewolf look like?"
Zhou Shu glanced at the phone: "Nonsense, there are no werewolves now."
"This is a Western name. I don't know what they refer to," Xia Yuzhou told his son Science Popularization. "Our family's records don't mention werewolves, only wolf demons. It is said to be a kind of monster that is transformed from a wolf in the mountains. Cannibalism requires the blood race to kill demons. But after entering the modern society, this thing has disappeared."
Chen Mo: "Why did it disappear?"
Xia Yuzhou spread his hands: "Then I don't know. It may be that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were not allowed to become proficient, so they couldn't get a quasi-proficient certificate."
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense to the child."
Xia Yuzhou: "Then why do you say that?"
Zhou Shu thought for a while: "Just... extinct, our family is almost extinct, not to mention the wolf demon."
The butler kept smiling on the side, but the gentleman's beard on both sides couldn't help shaking again and again, until Si Jun walked in, he stopped shaking his beard and bowed his head to salute: "Master is back."
Xia Yuzhou looked back at him, and saluted casually: "My lord."
The son followed in a muddleheaded manner, but Zhou Shu had no intention of saluting at all.
Si Jun nodded slightly in return: "Werewolves are divided into two types, full-species and partial-species. What you met on the road today was a partial-species mad dog that looked like a rabies."
Thinking back to the dirty dog I met on the road just now, it looked a little abnormal. First of all, it is definitely not a good dog when it is in power; secondly, its eyes and mouth are indeed like those infected, but it is not as excited and manic as a real mad dog.
The corner of Xia Yuzhou's mouth twitched: "You call that a werewolf?"
Humiliated the werewolf.
At least, humiliating the Chinese wolf demon.
The wolf demon recorded in the ancestor's handbook, not to mention the appearance, is at least a tall, mighty, unrestrained monster.
[When in wolf form, the fur is shiny, taller than ordinary wolves, and eats people; in human form, it has a hulking back and waist, like a bandit and bandit, arrogant and unreasonable.]
How did he fall into the same virtue as a stray mad dog
Several Western species were stunned when they heard that, and Zhan Wei interjected: "The werewolf we know has always been like this. Even if it is a full species, it is not as advanced as you said, and it cannot directly transform in the real world. It may be different from yours. Ancestry does not speak of a species."
Xia Yuzhou was noncommittal, and looked at Si Jun: "This is what you said is not peaceful—is there a mad dog?"
Si Jun nodded slightly.
Zhan Weiwei explained: "Incomplete species like to attack the blood race, so I told you not to open the window. It smells the breath of the blood race, and it will rush over."
Xia Yuzhou understood. Although he had already guessed more or less, it was still very subtle to hear their confirmation. No wonder Si Jun was afraid of dogs. He used to think that such a big boy was cute because he was afraid of dogs. He even suspected that Si Jun was acting like a baby with him on purpose. So, he invented the "with a dog" game on his own.
As the two of them were walking in the school, Xia Yuzhou would suddenly shout, "There's a dog!"
When Si Jun looked back subconsciously, he grabbed his hand and pulled it into his arms, and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you!"
Si Jun was dragged staggeringly, and found that there was no hair behind him, and he usually just smiled helplessly and let him lead...
But it turned out that it was a stress response to seeing a natural enemy.
After running for a while, Xia Yuzhou stared at Si Jun for a long time, and Zhou Shu took an elbow to look away. The younger brother's face was full of "angry and indisputable", and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "You have something to do, can't you?"
The lord lowered his eyes, and the tips of his ears turned red for some reason, and asked the housekeeper, "Did you tell the family history?"
Butler: "Just right."
Si Jun nodded, and said to the three Dongfang Zhong, "Come with me."
The third floor is not only a cloister displaying family history, but also several large rooms in the middle. Si Jun led them into one of the rooms. The furnishings here are somewhat similar to those of the downstairs study room, but much larger than that room. There is a statue in the middle, which is the first ancestor of the Hanshan clan, that is, the Marquis of Ma'anshan—Hanshan Hou Sinan.
He was still wearing the same riding outfit, with a saber pinned to his waist and a lute in his hand. Those eyes, rubbed from the ink painting, looked into the distance, resolute and gentle. No one can guess whether he will draw his sword out of its sheath in the next moment, or play the lute.
The big knight took out three small velvet boxes from the cabinet, and presented them to Sijun on a tray. Si Jun took off his gloves, picked up a box, and opened it. Inside was a pair of cufflinks and earrings.
"Thank you for your willingness to merge into the Hanshan Clan. As the lord of Yanjing, I accept the ceremony on behalf of the patriarch. From today onwards, we are a clan." Si Jun turned the contents of the box towards Xia Yuzhou and extended a hand to him.
Xia Yuzhou stretched his head to look at the contents of the box. It was a pair of small silver zithers. It is not simply engraved on the plane, but hollowed out, and even the strings are clearly defined, very delicate. Look at Si Jun's flat hand again, does this mean to wear cuff buttons for him? But he was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, and it was too old-fashioned to wear cuff buttons.
"Cough, are these ear studs?"
The butler took the box and explained: "This is the family emblem of the Hanshan clan. Men wear it as cufflinks and women wear it as earrings."
Si Jun picked up one and reached out to him persistently.
Xia Yuzhou coughed dryly: "Then why don't you wear my ears, I just happen to have pierced ears."
Si Jun stretched out his slender fingers and slowly curled them up, putting the things back into the box. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xia Yuzhou felt that the lord glared at him.
Xia Yuzhou pinched his pierced earlobe, then turned to look at his younger brother and son. He was dressed informally enough, and those two were even more exaggerated. Zhou Shu was wearing a T-shirt and big pants, and his son was wearing his uncle's T-shirt and jeans.
In the end, the three of them used the cufflinks as brooches, and barely put them on.
Si Jun gave them permission on his mobile phone, and the areas that were originally gray and unclickable, except for the [noble area], almost all lit up.
Xia Yuzhou clicked on the [Points Exchange] section, and finally saw what he wanted—pasteurized blood. There are several types of blood, such as duck blood, pig blood, deer blood, etc. There are options to exchange the amount below.
Duck blood is the cheapest, followed by pig blood, and deer blood is the most expensive. A 350ml bottle of duck blood costs 1 point. And his current points balance is 0.
Points are not only spent in the forward direction, but also earned in the reverse direction. Below the item redemption is the point collection, which needs to be entered to receive the redemption code. There are also three different delivery windows:
[Submit sick mosquitoes][Submit incomplete species of werewolf][Submit full species of werewolf]
There are postal and self-delivery methods.
"What are these?" Xia Yuzhou couldn't understand.
Chen Mo yawned big, couldn't hold back, and tried to lean on his uncle. Zhou Shu supported the cub: "Are you done? Let's go back, the child is sleepy."
Si Jun was explaining the task to the great knight, and when he heard this, he looked at the butler.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "The guest room has been arranged, please come with me."
Zhou Shu frowned: "Thank you, we don't live here."
Si Jun: "I said, I will stay tonight..."
Zhou Shu got angry when he heard his tone: "Why do you stay when you say you want to stay? You really think of yourself as an emperor!"
The big knight immediately took a step forward, put one hand on Zhou Shu's chest, and shouted: "Stand back!"
Zhou Shu: "Fuck!" He was about to fight, but Xia Yuzhou grabbed him.
Si Jun also fends off the big knight. The butler looked at Xia Yuzhou gently: "It's not safe outside, for the sake of the children, let's wait until dawn before leaving."
"Uh..." Xia Yuzhou was about to speak when an ancient bell rang from the roof, "Ding Ding Ding" very eagerly.
The big knight walked quickly to the window to look out, and took a breath: "Lord, there are three werewolves outside!"
Everyone followed to see.
There was a night light on the lawn outside, and three huge dogs could be seen wandering slowly around the house. The hair of these dogs is not very good, and one is bald and looks very fierce.
Xia Yuzhou wondered: "What day is it today? Is it a night with a full moon?" Looking up at the sky, he realized that the window faces north and the moon cannot be seen.
The son stretched his head to look: "Dad, didn't you say that the night of the full moon has nothing to do with us?"
Xia Yuzhou pursed his lips and whispered, "It has nothing to do with us, it has something to do with the Western species."
"It has nothing to do with us." Si Jun came to him suddenly, startling Xia Yuzhou.
The housekeeper lowered his head and glanced at the time just after eight o'clock: "It's too early, the neighbors haven't rested yet, call."
Si Jun looked at the dogs quietly for a while: "Let's fight."
The big knight responded, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Xia Yuzhou gritted his teeth: "What's the call, are you calling my brother to deal with the werewolf?" It's just three mad dogs, but they still want to call someone.
Si Jun glanced at him inexplicably, and was about to speak, when the call from the big knight over there got through: "Hello, is it 119?"
Xia Yuzhou: "..."
