Chapter 4: The Lonely Guest (4)

Views:

It was late at night, and the watchman passed by on the street, knocking out the tuk tuk of the third watch. The sky is the color of Ji celadon glaze, and the houses below are sunk in darkness, lined up in groups, so thick that they cannot be dissolved.

The aunt turned over, leaned her hand to the side, and fell into the cold blanket. She closed her eyes and touched. The place where her husband was supposed to lie was empty and there was nothing. Gong go out? She frowned, turned around and waited for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was a chamber pot beside the bed. Where did he go to go out

She sat up suspiciously, opened the curtain and got out of bed. The room was dark and dark. Looking out from the lantern brocade window, it was also shadowy black outside. The shadows of flowers and plants fell on the ground, like a clump of ghosts. film. The night was very quiet, and from time to time there were a few baby-like calls of wild cats, and the faint moaning of a woman was vaguely heard. It was far away and could not be heard clearly.

She was a little scared, and stepped on the ground with bare feet, and the cool slate was against the soles of her feet. She went to the window and listened carefully for a while. The woman's moan became clearer and clearer, and it was clearly in her own house.

Going to die, the house is haunted. She wanted to find her husband, and secretly hated that he was nowhere to be seen at this time. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly froze again, and an embarrassing guess came to his mind. The moan came from the kitchen, where Madoka was sleeping in the servant's room next to the kitchen. She couldn't believe it, but she pushed open the door and walked towards the kitchen. Because of my heart palpitations, I forgot to put on my shoes. I walked around the corridor with bare feet on the tree shadows and walked to the bottom of Qi Yin's attic. The moan became clearer and clearer, it was in the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a break now, my stomach hurts," she heard her husband cry.

The moaning stopped, Xiaoyuan snorted: "Dead, are you tired of it? If you dare to lose me, let's see if I don't stab you to the doge!"

"No, it's a real stomach ache. Ouch..."

The aunt's anger surged to her head, full of anger that turned the river upside down. She was about to go forward in a rush, when the tiles on the top of her head moved and made a crackling sound. She was startled. I don't know where the wild cat's cry came again, one after another, like a baby, crying so much that the scalp was tingling. She stroked her chest, picked up a bamboo pole against the wall, took two deep breaths, and kicked the door open.

Sure enough, the two men and women were inside, both of them were half torn, with bare white legs. Xiaoyuan was lying half-length on the stove, when the door opened and the moonlight came in, she was stunned, and her face was as pale as a ghost in the moonlight. Auntie's eyes widened, and he was still lying on Xiao Yuan's body, forgetting to react.

The aunt was so angry that she fainted, and shouted: "I will kill you adulterers and prostitutes!"

As soon as the bamboo pole was knocked down, my aunt hugged his head and ran away, hiding and wailing. Xiao Yuan knelt on the ground and cried, "Mrs. spare your life, madam, spare your life, they are all the servants and servants of the master, and there is nothing the servants can do!"

It didn't matter if she didn't cry, when she cried, my aunt was even more angry, she turned around and hit Xiao Yuan's face with a bamboo pole: "I'll kill you bastard, kill you bastard! I'll smash your face, See how you hook up with people!"

Xiao Yuan rolled around on the ground, crying loudly, and her aunt rushed forward and pulled out all her hairpins, and then went to pick up her clothes. Xiaoyuan tugged at her clothes and shouted, "Master, save me!"

My aunt stood on the other side of the kitchen and didn't respond. My aunt sneered: "You still expect him to save you! I will strip off your clothes and sell you to Goulan Courtyard! Let's see if he can save you!"

Xiaoyuan didn't know where the strength came from, kicked her aunt away with one foot, and ran to her aunt's father, crawling, hugging her aunt's leg with both hands and crying, "Yao Lang, you said you would protect me!"

The aunt was so angry that her eyes darkened, and she had to fight again when she picked up the bamboo pole. Auntie turned his back to the two of them, half-shrouded in the darkness, and turned his head very slowly. He turned his head strangely, like an elderly old man who is inconvenient to move, and his movements are stuttering.

Seeing that he still needs to protect her, the aunt yelled, "You shameless, you still want to stop me!"

Xiao Yuan was close, but she could see it clearly—Auntie turned his head lightly, but his body didn't move. There was a very crisp click on the neck, and the whole head turned towards them. Because his neck was twisted, his head was lowered, and his eyes happened to look straight at Xiao Yuan who was hugging him.

Xiao Yuan shouted, and then rolled and crawled back to the aunt. Auntie just wanted to scold her for what the hell, her aunt opened her mouth, and the mouth was so huge that it didn't look like a human could open it, and the five senses were squeezed into the heavenly cover. At the same time, nine long necks like snake necks stick out from the black hole, each neck has a flat and dry head, and the nine heads open their mouths to Auntie and Xiaoyuan together, sending out baby-like shrill sounds. Crying, hoarse.

The two women were so frightened they screamed in unison, "Ah—"

The old lady was woken up by the screams, pulled the curtains back and sat up. She can't live in peace where there are women. She understands that she has always disliked Yu Niang's temperament. As long as she has a small round belly one day, Yu Niang is reluctant and has to admit her in the door.

Who would have guessed that Xiao Yuan's belly hasn't moved since the beginning of the year. Seeing the commotion tonight, it might be an unforeseen incident. She sighed and put on her clothes and went out.

Before they passed the corner gate, the big tree in front moved and jumped down from a figure. She looked up and saw that it was Qi Yin's child. She secretly said that it was not good, the amount of Yu Niang's medicine was not enough, and the child actually woke up. Qi Yin didn't come over immediately, but just stood under the tree and looked at her in horror. She thought it was strange, and when she saw that the child was actually carrying an axe in his hand, blood was dripping from the cold axe blade.

With a buzzing sound in her head, she pointed at him with a trembling finger: "You... you... who did you kill? Yuniang is still my son, or my grandson?" Yes, yes, this kid must know that they want Xiaoshan to replace him Going up to Xianshan, she held an axe to kill with a grudge in her heart. Her eyes were splitting, and she cried out, "The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf should not have taken you in in the first place!"

Qi Yin didn't say a word, and ran towards her murderously with his axe and his teeth gritted. She backed away in shock, shouting, "You still want to kill me! Kill me! Kill me!"

The axe swung straight towards her face, she subconsciously covered her head, the axe whizzed past her head, she heard something wailing mournfully, and then the stench of blood fell all over her face. He opened his eyes in horror and saw nine withered brown broken necks lying beside his feet, and the huge body and wings of the strange bird.

"This thing has been following you." Qi Yin wiped the blood from his face and said.

The old lady was shocked and said, "This... what is this?"

"I don't know either." Qi Yin shook his head, "Go back to the house, I'll take a look at the front yard."

After Qi Yin finished speaking, she took the axe and walked to the front yard. The old lady looked back and saw that there was still some distance from the house, and the road was pitch-dark. She did not dare to walk by herself, and staggered behind Qi Yin. Pushing open the corner door, I saw Xiao Yuan and my aunt rushing over with panic-stricken faces. Behind them, my aunt stretched out nine long necks to chase, but the strange bird didn't seem to be very manipulative. All legs turned out.

The old lady fainted when she saw his appearance, and Qi Yin supported her against the threshold. Yao Xiaoshan was also woken up, rubbed his eyes and pulled his shoes to the bottom of the corridor, asking, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Auntie couldn't catch up with Auntie and Xiaoyuan, he turned a corner and walked towards Yao Xiaoshan. The aunt hurriedly shouted: "Run Xiaoshan!"

Yao Xiaoshan finally saw his father's appearance, screamed, and ran away. Aunt turned his legs and rushed at him. Yao Xiaoshan ran fast, but his aunt couldn't catch up, so he turned around and rushed towards Xiaoyuan. Xiao Yuan screamed and dodged, but her aunt couldn't catch up. She turned her head and saw the old lady who was crooked on the ground, walking over. The aunt was shocked and ran over to drag the old lady. It was too heavy for her to drag.

Qi Yin went up with the axe and hit the back of his aunt's head with an axe. He immediately split half of his head, and blood mixed with yellow and white brains splashed on his face. Qi Yin gritted his teeth and smashed it down with an axe, his aunt's head and the head of the strange bird were both smashed by him.

Everyone looked at him in awe, not knowing whether they were afraid of the strange bird or Qi Yin's murderous appearance.

After splitting for a long time, his aunt's head and the strange bird's head were rotten like a lump of mud, Qi Yin threw the axe, and leaned against the auspicious jar to breathe.

The horror retreated a little, and the little aunt realized that her aunt was gone. She sat on the ground and clapped her hands and cried loudly: "What's wrong, what's going on? How come monsters have entered our house! My husband, my husband!"

Qi Yin calmed down and said, "It's the egg that my cousin bought from the West Market. He thought it was a unicorn egg, but he didn't expect it to be a monster egg from a strange bird."

The aunt suddenly realized, crying and pounced on Yao Xiaoshan's arms and pinched him, "You bastard, bastard! You killed your father, look at what you did!"

"It's not me, it's not me! I didn't know it was a demon egg..." Yao Xiaoshan also cried, looked up to see Qi Yin, and shouted, "It's not me, it's Qi Yin! He knew it was a demon egg and sent it to me on purpose. In Daddy's room. Mother, didn't you give that kid a medicine? How did he wake up? He knew it, he knew it!" Yao Xiaoshan took out Liulizi from his mother's arms, took a closer look, and shouted Said, "Sure enough! Mother, this Liulizi is a fake. It's a fake made by that kid when he was in school. He took it to the school and sold it. He used this thing to deceive you!"

The aunt turned around in a daze, and Qi Yin stood there and looked at them. The little aunt pointed at him and said, "So that's the way it is. You are a white-eyed wolf. You already knew that the immortal was coming to our house, and planned such a poisonous plan to kill my whole family! You white-eyed wolf!"

"I do know that you want to replace me." The expression on Qi Yin's face could not tell whether it was sad or sad, "but I didn't hurt you, someone told me that the egg is a monster, I thought my cousin only had one egg. , the one that was hidden in my house. When I got home today, the egg was cracked. I poured arsenic into it and killed the monster bird. The egg is still in my house, don't believe yourselves Go and see."

My aunt didn't believe it, so she asked Xiaoyuan to go upstairs to see. After a while, Xiaoyuan actually came out with a stone egg full of cracks.

The old lady didn't know when she woke up, and asked hoarsely, "Then what was the box you gave to Yu Niang?"

The aunt went back to the house to take out the box and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was neatly placed a stack of silver bills and a letter. The aunt took out the letter, and there were three big characters on the envelope: "letter of farewell".

"Xiao Yin, are you leaving?" Auntie asked in a trembling voice.

"Yeah." Qi Yin lowered his eyelashes, standing alone under the moonlight, he was a lonely shadow, "My father abandoned his wife and son, I don't care to cultivate that immortal, my cousin can go if he wants. But I don't want to stay here anymore. I know that my aunt is going to stun me. After dinner, I went back to the house and pulled out my throat. My grandmother put all the silver bills for me, and I didn't take any of them. The roof just broke, and I wanted to go to the room tonight. I didn't expect to see a strange bird crouching in the courtyard as soon as I went to the room."

He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the horrific corpse of his uncle on the ground. He also had the intention of revenge, so he replaced the bowl of nourishing beauty soup, and wanted his aunt to wake up in the middle of the night to find out about his aunt's scandal and make a lot of trouble. I just didn't expect it to end up like this.

Everyone was silent, and my aunt collapsed to the ground in despair.

"One in the front yard, one in the back yard, plus the one that Xiaoyin poisoned with arsenic, Xiaoshan, you hid three monster eggs at home!" The old lady covered her face and cried, "What is this made of? Evil."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Yao Xiaoshan said with shaking hands: "Also, its... Actually, I bought five..."

Everyone was shocked, and Qi Yin asked sharply, "How about two more? Where are you hiding?"

Yao Xiaoshan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pointed at Qi Yin.

Auntie, Madoka, and the old lady all showed fearful expressions and stepped back. Qi Yin felt cold in his hands and feet. Could it be that the strange bird also got into his stomach at some point? But it's not right. The strange bird didn't come out of his mouth. How did Yao Xiaoshan know that the strange bird was in his stomach

That is…

He turned his head slowly, facing the wet withered bird face, the strange bird opened its pitch-black beak, as if it was about to eat people, and the baby-like howls were overwhelmingly pressing at Qi Yin. Come here, deafening.
