The hollow head slapped by the dog, the empty skeleton body, the boy who shot the ball seen by the woodcutter... Afu suddenly remembered the arrogant young man with a three-foot green front from many years ago, and turned his head slightly towards her and said: " Demons are deceitful and often separate their hearts from their bodies in order to obtain immortal bodies. Therefore, if you kill demons, your heart will be executed."
"Heart!" Afu tugged at the black cat's tail and turned to run towards the backyard.
"Nonsense, of course the old man knows that the heart is not on him, but the ghost knows where he hides it!" The black cat yelled after her, "You weak mortal, it's dangerous here, don't run around!"
"I know where my heart is!" Afu said, "Did you know that the batting mountain boy met by the woodcutter waved at someone on the bridge, but he disappeared when he passed by. I met him today, and Zhang Luohuai said he The flesh is pure, and the bite is not poisonous."
The black cat was stunned, "You mean the heart is in Shan Tong?"
"That's right," Afu clenched his teeth and ran, "Zhang Luohuai used a pure-blooded child to warm his heart. Shantong wanted to tell everyone that his heart was in him, but Zhang Luohuai discovered it every time."
"Then why didn't that kid say it straight! Beware of cheating!"
Afu ran across the hall, and a building ball rolled to her feet. She stopped and raised her head. The child stood under the flower hall and looked at her quietly.
Afu put down the puppy and walked towards the child. She squatted in front of the boy and asked softly, "You bit me earlier to make me move, right?"
The boy nodded.
"I don't speak because I can't speak, right?"
The boy pulled open the stand-up collar and let Afu see his neck, where there was a hideous scar, like a winding centipede. His throat was cut by Zhang Luohuai, and he could no longer speak.
No one knows when he was forced to stay away from his parents and far from home, and no one knows his fears and sorrows around Yokai. She thought he must be lonely and desperate when he was playing ball in the forest. So many people passed by him, but no one could take him home. He can't speak, or even cry, because he's dead, and dead people don't have tears.
Afu covered her mouth and burst into tears.
The black cat jumped on the roof to see the battle situation over there. Zhang Luohuai manipulated the villagers to bite Fulan in the air. Fulan was dragged to the ground by the villagers and engulfed by the crowd again. The villagers could not be hurt, so Fu Lan stood out from the siege again and again and was dragged back again and again. His body was already dripping with blood, but he remained expressionless, as if he could not feel the pain. The black cat hurriedly said: "Don't linger, hurry up!"
The boy took Afu's hand and put it on his chest. His hand was very cold, but his chest was hot, like a fire, and something jumped in his chest. He took a golden hairpin from Afu's hair bun and placed it in Afu's palm. His dark eyes looked at her quietly, as if it was a kind of silent encouragement.
There was an enchantment on his chest, and the black cat jumped down and drew a talisman on the golden hairpin. A fine stream of light flashed on the golden hairpin, Afu held the golden hairpin, the boy held her hand, the golden hairpin pierced through the chest, a crisp sound like an ice crack, the glass-like barrier shattered, the sharp hairpin shattered. The tip pierced into the heart.
Zhang Luohuai's recovered body froze, his eyes widened in horror, the squirming villagers stopped moving, Fu Lan stood up from the crowd covered in blood, stretched out her index finger, and drew a line in the air. A stern streamer flashed, and that line was simple, but it was the sharpest blade. Cut diagonally down, running through Zhang Luohuai's entire body. Zhang Luohuai let out a whimper, and a turbulent spring of blood exploded from his body, and fell to the ground in two neatly cut halves. A mottled bell fell from the air and landed on his severed limb.
Afu shed tears and hugged the cold boy tightly. Under the sky light, the ashes were like a little fluorescent light, and in that flickering light, she seemed to see the boy's peaceful smile.
I hope that Tianfeng will send his soul back to his hometown.
She picked up the building ball for the puppy to hold, and led the puppy back to the patio. Fu Lan picked up the Soul Destroyer Bell and shook it, and the villagers woke up with their eyes wide open. They stood up from the ground and looked at each other in dismay.
"Why am I here, where is this?"
"What's wrong... I can't remember anything."
"Afu? Ah, yes, today is a good day for Afu to get married. Are we here for a wedding?"
Fu Lan was already a bloody man, and was bitten by the villagers to the point that there was not a piece of good meat all over his body. But he still had that calm expression, as if the blood was not his own. Afu looked sad, he was such a child, and he would die in a fight, and flesh and blood was his only shield. Afu wiped his face with his sleeves, and walked to the middle of the messy patio with Fu Lan in his left hand and the puppy in his right.
"Fellow folks, listen carefully. From now on, Fu Lan will be my son, Meng Fu Niang, and my dog's brother. My Meng Fu Niang's family of three and one cat will never have a fourth person!" It was Yi Rin, "Who will play matchmaker for me in the future, and let me hear who is talking nonsense and scare my two sons, the old lady will tear his stinky mouth!"
The whole place was silent, and the villagers looked at each other in dismay.
Fu Lan was a little stunned, she raised her head to look at Afu, the bright sky shrouded her face, her delicate eyebrows stretched out, and a gentle smile appeared.
"Son, let's go home!"
———
I don't know how Afu was fooled, but the yamen officer was almost gone after a few visits. Later, Fu Lan heard from the chattering auntie in the courtyard that the officer had dug up a skinned human corpse from Zhang's backyard, and the matter was pushed down. Things involving monsters are handled in this way in the dynasty, unless the immortals of Xianshan come, or they will not happen, so as to avoid rumors and turmoil in people's hearts.
Fortunately, because of the Soul Retreat Bell, everyone forgot what happened in the house. When someone saw that Fu Lan was covered in blood, Afu cried and complained that it was the evildoer who wanted to capture Fu Lan as food, and the villagers were not suspicious. After all, Fu Lan's white and tender appearance does look delicious.
Fu Lan's body was full of scars, and it took a few days to recover. On the day that Fu Lan got better, Afu wanted everyone to cross the brazier together to get rid of bad luck, and wrapped a bowl of white rice in red cloth and spun it around on the heads of the two and one cat, and finally dragged Fu Lan and Hei together. The cats went to the Nuwa Temple to offer incense together.
The puppy imitated Afu, and bowed to the mother in a decent manner, muttering: "Mother, my father is bad, don't let him go down to earth, and use the thunder to split his head."
As soon as I got home, it snowed, and the rustling snowflakes fell all over the sky, like many tiny feathers. Everyone sat under the wide eaves, the puppy was making a fuss in Fu Lan's arms, and Afu grabbed the black cat to warm her hands. The black cat said angrily: "Cats can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Add another meal of braised pork in the evening." Afu said.
"If your feet are cold, Master Cat can also keep you warm."
Afu couldn't help smiling.
This woman has a good face, and her eyebrows are curved when she smiles. The black cat suddenly asked: "Wufang Mountain is not very far from here, do you want the old man and the idiot to take you to find him? If he doesn't recognize you, I will beat him with the idiot."
Afu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No need. Wufang Mountain is hanging in the air, even if we go, we can't go up. Besides, you are a demon, how inconvenient it is to go there."
"Then you're waiting for him like that?"
"Who told you that I was waiting for him?" Afu pouted.
"Come on, you," the black cat looked very understanding, "I'm not Fulan, so how can I not see through it, if I don't wait, why wait until now? What's the matter with you and that Niubi Taoist priest?"
The snow fell, Afu shook his legs and sighed, "What else can happen? Goujianxian went down the mountain, cut a bunch of demons and a bunch of demons, and captured a golden girl. Once the spring breeze, the red dust Meng, I am that stupid big girl." She raised her face, the snowflakes fell on her face, and it was cold and cold, "But I am stupid, Cat Master. That guy is a bit like Fu Lan, and he doesn't like it either. He speaks like a boring melon. He is also handsome, and I have never seen such a handsome man in my life. How do you say that? When we got married, I broke his face and said, "Langjun, Langjun, why are you so beautiful? I can't see enough of the little lady during the day, and I want to see it at night. I can't see it when I sleep at night, so I have to go to see it in my dreams." . Guess what he said?"
Afu pursed his lips and smiled, and without waiting for the black cat to reply, he answered on his own: "He said that he had no luck in his life, but fortunately the skin is still good, and the lady likes it."
"It doesn't look like he can't speak at all," the black cat said. "You can't say such a sour thing, idiot, right, idiot."
Fu Lan was stunned and said, "I can learn."
Afu didn't say a word, the world was quiet, only the rustling of snowflakes on the porch. Fu Lan raised her head and saw Afu's fair face. Under the light of the sky, there were emotions he couldn't understand in those dense eyes. It was only after many years that he realized that it was a deep yearning and a deep sadness.
The dog crawled into her arms, hugged her tightly, and said, "Don't be sad, mother, we have a brother and a cat, and it doesn't matter if father doesn't go down to earth."
"That's right!" Afu took a deep breath and hugged Fulan and the dog tightly, "Why do you think about him so much, my mother still has to earn money to feed her son to feed the cat."
She suddenly jumped into the snow and ran like a mad woman with her bare white and tender feet. This woman is like this, she is gentle and gentle on the surface, but in fact she doesn't care if she goes crazy, all the monsters and monsters are afraid of her. She ran to the point where her bun was loose, her black and shiny hair flew in the vast snowflakes, while she ran, she wrapped her hands around her mouth and shouted to the sky, imposing like a rainbow, majestic.
"Dog man, get out of here! The old lady lives by herself!"
