Hearing what his daughter said, Li Yuanwai was a little relieved.
In this family, the daughter has been haunted by the vixen for the longest time, and has absorbed the most energy. Seeing the plump daughter become thin like this, Li Yuanwai is lying if he doesn't feel distressed.
Li Yuanwai has only two sons and a daughter. Her daughter is only sixteen years old this year. She is the youngest and the most beloved by Li Yuanwai and his wife.
The husband and wife can be said to put their daughter in the palm of their hands and pamper and raise them, and the pain is so painful that it penetrates into the bones.
After they knew that their daughter was fascinated by the vixen, they also invited Taoist priests to catch the demon, but they didn't catch the demon. In the end, even the whole family's female family members were entangled by the vixen.
The parents, elder brothers, brother and sister-in-law in the family love Li Fangfei very much, but because of her, the mother and two sister-in-laws were also entangled by the vixen. Sister-in-law, even when the vixen is not here, she can't sleep well.
Knowing that his daughter slept well, Li Yuanwai's frown eased a little. He smiled and said, "It seems that those priests and masters still have some skills. Once they come, you can sleep more peacefully."
Li Fangfei pursed her lips, and said in a soft voice: "My father is worrying about me, it's my daughter's unfilial piety."
Hearing what Li Fangfei said, Li Yuanwai felt even more at ease. He really didn't love his daughter in vain. Look at how well-behaved and obedient she is now.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Li felt extremely relieved. She even felt that being a vixen was not necessarily a bad thing.
You must know that in the past, Li Fangfei was spoiled by her family and grew up, so her behavior was actually a bit too capricious, and sometimes she was even a little domineering. Fortunately, if she married into her husband's family, they might not be able to bear her character.
But ever since she was fascinated by the fox spirit, Li Fangfei was much more sensible and obedient than before. She seemed to have grown up overnight, became well-behaved and polite, and treated her parents much more filially than before.
Although the current Li Fangfei is not as lively and active as in the past, and her temperament has become much calmer, but compared with the Li Fangfei who was a little too jumpy in the past, she is more like a lady now.
Mrs. Li felt that after the vixen matter was completely resolved, Li Fangfei's marriage could also be put on the agenda. Now that she has become gentle and virtuous, according to her current personality, she should be able to find a good family.
Mrs. Li was the least absorbed by the vixen, and her mental state was much better than other women in the family. She thought that the vixen had no great ability, but now that there are so many monks and Taoists around, she feels that It's only a matter of time before the vixen is caught.
While they were talking, the butler came up from the outside carrying a tray. On the tray made of elm was a white porcelain bowl, which contained hot soup that had just been cooked—this was Li Yuanwai’s special order to the chef. The nourishing soup that mother cooked for Li Fangfei.
After the butler came in, he put the porcelain bowl on the table in front of Li Fangfei, and then saluted Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li.
"Master and Madam, Miss's soup is ready."
Li Yuanwai looked at the butler standing in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Butler, is there a new master coming?"
The butler just wanted to shake his head, but when he was about to shake his head, he suddenly remembered the young man in white who came over after dark yesterday. He was very handsome, and judging by his demeanor, he was not a master of monster catchers, but rather a The son who came out of the aristocratic family.
In fact, the butler didn't think that such a person was good at catching monsters, but the other party used the excuse of catching monsters to live in, the butler thought about it, and still revealed his existence.
"Last night when I was about to close the house, a young man who claimed to be able to catch monsters did come over. It was already late at that time, so I arranged for him to stay here on my own initiative, thinking that I would report back to Mrs. Madam today. "
In fact, the butler's approach was a bit presumptuous, but because the butler was an old man who had been with him for decades, Li Yuanwai didn't take such small matters to heart.
"Really? Then you hurry up and ask him to come over."
As far as Li Yuanwai is concerned, no matter how many people come to catch monsters, he is not too many. He is not afraid of people coming, but the people who come are beautiful. If the family matters are not resolved as soon as possible, how can he have the time to go out and do it? Business
After receiving Li Yuanwai's order, the housekeeper bowed and retreated. When passing by Li Fangfei, the housekeeper paused for a moment and said: "This soup is stewed by the cook before dawn. After squatting for two An hour is the best time, and the tonic soup should be drunk while it is hot, the young lady is weak and needs a good tonic."
After the butler finished speaking, Li Fangfei nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, I understand."
There seemed to be nothing wrong with the conversation between the two at first glance, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.
However, looking at how Li Fangfei got along with the housekeeper, it was normal for a young lady to treat her servants, and there was nothing wrong with it. Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li were sitting first, and Li Fangfei's parents naturally didn't think too much about it. .
"Housekeeper, hurry up."
Li Yuanwai urged again, and the butler left in a hurry without stopping.
After Li Fangfei used the tonic soup, she said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
Mrs. Li said, "Do you want my mother to accompany you?"
Li Fangfei shook her head and said, "Mother, we live in the same yard, and I'll be in my room within two steps, and it's clear daylight now, so nothing will happen."
Ever since Li Fangfei was entangled by the vixen, Li Yuanwai and the others let her live in the couple's yard, but the vixen's methods were very tricky, even if she lived in the same yard, she could still entangle Li Fangfei .
But fortunately, vixens are all nocturnal and will not appear during the day, and there are so many monks and priests living in the house, Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li are naturally relieved that she will go back alone.
Not long after Li Fangfei left, the butler walked in with a man in white.
White clothes are very picky. If you don't wear them properly, your temperament will be greatly reduced. However, the face of the person who comes in is like a crown jade, rich and handsome, just like the fairy in the painting. The moment he steps in, the whole room seems to be They all brightened up.
Everyone has a love for beauty. In this world, beauties always have some privileges. After Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li saw Qi Wang, they were attracted by his appearance. There was some trust in him.
After the butler brought the people, he withdrew, and Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li didn't like having too many people around to serve them. After the butler left, there were only Li Yuanwai, Mrs. Li and Qi Wang in the lobby. , the other servants were waiting outside the door for orders.
With a wave of Qi Wang's hand, the doors and windows were all closed.
The slamming sound of the door awakened Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li's sanity, the two shook their heads and looked up at Qi Huang.
"Young man, what are you doing?"
Qi Wanglu's action has proved that he is capable, but he suddenly closed the doors and windows, so Li Yuanwai couldn't help thinking about it.
Although Qi Wang was born with outstanding appearance, but there is no rule that those with outstanding appearance are not bad people.
Li Yuanwai thought so, he protected Mrs. Li behind him, and then wanted to open his mouth to call someone.
However, before he could speak, Qi Wang stopped him with his voice.
"Mr. Li, your house is not haunted by monsters. It is not monsters that suck energy, but living people."
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Li Yuanwai blurted out: "Impossible."
Li Yuanwai could still tell whether it was done by a human or a monster. If it wasn't a monster, how could it be possible to quietly absorb the essence of human beings? Humans simply cannot do such a thing.
Although what Qi Wang showed just now proved that he is a capable person, but Li Yuanwai did not believe what he said.
Mrs. Li subconsciously grabbed Li Yuanwai's clothes, only to feel that the person in front of her was strange in every way.
Why is he talking nonsense
However, Qi Wang knew that his words were unfounded, and he didn't expect Li Yuanwai to believe him by saying a word, so he said: "When I came to Mingguang Town yesterday, I heard about your mansion, and I know your If there is a fox demon in the house, I will take care of it."
"However, after arriving outside the mansion, I found out that when your mansion was built, it was instructed by an expert. According to this arrangement, there will be no monsters invading the mansion."
What Qi Wang said was justified and well-founded, combined with his dusty appearance and temperament, it was easy to convince people. Li Yuanwai saw that he didn't look like he was talking nonsense, so he slowly sat back on the chair, and Mrs. Li He also felt that what Qi Wang said was reasonable, so he silently sat on the other side.
Seeing their appearance, Qi Wang knew that they believed his words, so he continued to speak.
"The house was built under the guidance of an expert. The town house lion outside the gate and the Shentu Yu barrier on the gate are all from the hands of an expert. With so many protections, the fox demon has a lot of ability to enter Come?"
Even if it can come in, the cost will be very high, and the payment is not directly proportional to the income. How can the fox be willing
What happened to Li Yuan's family seemed to be terrible, but when you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it except for the female relatives who are getting thinner day by day.
If it's what the fox demon said, he spent a lot of effort to break in, is it just to make such a fuss like playing house with a child
Hearing the words, Li Yuanwai couldn't help asking: "All the women in my family look like this, isn't it enough to suffer?"
His daughter was so thin that he lost shape, his wife and two daughter-in-laws also lost a lot of weight, and the Li family was tortured to the point of restlessness. If this is all a small trick, then what is the big trick
In fact, Li Yuanwai had already guessed it, but he didn't dare to think about it.
However, Qi Wang didn't care about his mood, and said directly: "If it is really a fox demon who intends to harm people, no one in the entire Li family will be able to live now."
There are three types of monsters in this world, one is the one who is dedicated to cultivation and does not care about the disturbances of the outside world, and the other is the one who can tease humans and do various mischief to cause trouble for humans. They just know some tricks, But it doesn't really hurt humans.
There is another kind of monster that feeds on the flesh and blood of human beings. For example, Hong Er, when such a monster strikes, it will not hold back at all.
"But aren't all monsters bad?"
Li Yuanwai was distorted by Qi Wang's words, so he couldn't help asking.
In his cognition, all monsters are heinous, and they should be eliminated after they are discovered. Why do you listen to Qi Wang's words, not all monsters are bad
"Just as humans are good or bad, so are monsters. It is wrong to deny the entire race because one or two monsters are bad. If I deny all humans because one or two humans are bad, no matter what. Have other human beings done evil and killed them all, do you think this is right?"
Li Yuanwai said without thinking, "Of course it's wrong."
However, as soon as the words came out, Li Yuanwai felt that something was wrong.
Isn't it compared with monsters? What happened to humans all of a sudden? It feels as if the person in front of me is not human.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Li Yuanwai suppressed it. He put away those messy thoughts, and then said: "Even if what you said is right, it doesn't prove that the monsters in my mansion are not the cause of trouble." .”
Li Yuanwai still felt that the mansion seemed to be haunted by monsters. If it was really human... how could anyone have such abilities
Qi Wang said: "Since I said so, there is evidence. As soon as I entered the mansion last night, the housekeeper asked someone to deliver the food. I ate the food, but found that there were some things added to it."
The butler's methods are actually not very clever, but because he is an old man in the mansion, he is in charge of the big and small things in the mansion, and no one will doubt him, so it has become the current situation.
"Drugs that can cause hallucinations are added to the food and tea, and the reason why the female family members in the mansion look like they have been sucked in is also drugged."
Was it the butler who did it
Li Yuanwai was stunned, he couldn't believe what Qi Wang said.
But Mrs. Li had a delicate mind, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the bowl of tonic soup that the butler brought to her daughter.
"My lord, maybe it really is the butler..."
Li Yuanwai's face was a bit ugly, he shook his head, still refused to believe Qi Wang's words.
"The butler is a child of the family. He has been doing things with me since he was a child. I don't believe he did this kind of thing."
Qi Wang said: "Yes or no, you can ask the housekeeper and the doctor to confront it, it's very simple, or do you prefer to believe that it is a monster that caused the trouble, and refuse to admit that it was the people around you who did it?"
Li Yuanwai has feelings for the housekeeper, but Mrs. Li does not. How can Mrs. Li tolerate her daughter and children
"Master, why don't we send someone to quietly invite the doctor over here, don't you really want to settle this matter?"
Seeing that Mr. Li still did not let go, Mrs. Li continued to persuade.
"Think about Fangfei, think about the child in your daughter-in-law's womb, just ask a doctor to take a look. If you wrong the housekeeper, we can just apologize to him."
Li Yuanwai finally agreed.
