"Who told you to steal things without doing your job every day, of course I have to use you as an example." Wen Jiubai said with a smile.
"You just think I don't work for you." Bai said dissatisfiedly, and looked at me again, "This guy has to turn everyone around him into his slaves to be happy!"
I laughed, looked at Wen Jiubai, and suddenly thought of a strange question, "Would there be monsters who are familiar with the 'rules' of human beings and imitate the way of life of human beings to live?"
"Why did the monster do that?" Wen Jiubai asked.
"Uh... this... I'm just suddenly curious." I was at a loss for words.
"For monsters, the rules of human society are very complicated. Free monsters don't know what to do and what not to do." Wen Jiubai said slowly, "To understand the complicated rules of human beings, a monster must have at least one With a lifespan of more than a thousand years, there are not many big monsters like this now."
"Yes, is it?" I suddenly felt that I had asked a stupid question and shut my mouth.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It sounded like someone was knocking on the gate of the old house. Shouts were also heard.
"Excuse me, does Mr. Wen live here?"
"Mr. Wen, the exorcist, are you there?"
"Mr. Wen!"
It sounded like the voice of an old couple.
And Wen Jiubai was still admiring the calligraphy in his hand, and didn't want to pay attention to it at all. But the old couple outside the door were very persistent and kept knocking on the heavy wooden door outside.
"Please, Mr. Wen! Are you there!"
"We have something important to entrust!"
I glanced at Wen Jiubai, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to answer the door? They seem to have entrusted them to get rid of demons."
Now Wen Jiubai reacted, but he frowned unexpectedly, and looked at the ferret lying beside him, "Didn't you put up the resting sign? Bai, go see off the guests."
Bai lazily yawned and stood up, "Okay—"
"Wait, resting?" I was puzzled, "Aren't you here? Why do you hang the sign that you are resting and not pick up customers?"
"People who go to work always have a day off, right? I also have times when I'm in a bad mood and don't want to accept commissions." Wen Jiubai said absent-mindedly.
I listened to the knock on the door and stopped for a while, but soon, those two people began to knock on the door persistently again, "Mr. Wen! Please, if you are here, you must accept our commission! Remuneration or something It's all small things!"
"No. I'll go and have a look." I "deng" stood up, "The people outside the door sounded very anxious, and it was late at night, so it should be something very important. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been Knock on the door so tirelessly."
With that said, I walked towards the gate.
Although Wen Jiubai said that he didn't want to pick up the guests, he still sighed helplessly and followed me out, "I can't stand you. You're really causing me trouble."
Walking to the gate, the two heavy wooden doors were tightly shut. Although they were not locked, people outside couldn't open them. Wen Jiubai walked to the wooden door, flicked his long sleeves, and the wooden door swung open.
As I thought before, there was an old couple standing outside the door. Both of them looked to be in their fifties, with gray temples. When the old gentleman saw us open the door, his face showed joy, and he was about to bow to me.
"Oh, Mr. Wen, you finally opened the door. Great, great, our Yingcai is really saved."
Before I could speak, even the old lady bent down, "Mr. Wen, you are a good man, you are the reincarnation of Zhong Xu. Please, please save our family's talents!"
I was confused, and hurried to help the two old couples, with embarrassment on my face, "Ah, uncle and aunt, that, you made a mistake. I am not Mr. Wen, I am just Mr. Wen's assistant. The person behind me It is Mr. Wen you are looking for."
The two old couples quickly looked at Wen Jiubai and bowed again.
"Oh, Mr. Wen! I have heard of your name for a long time."
"You must help us this time!"
Wen Jiubai raised his chin slightly, stood up straight, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to be very moved by it.
"Okay, stop bowing." I had to help the old couple up again, and whispered to them, "He is very powerful, and he will definitely help you."
"Okay, come in." Wen Jiubai seemed to show a hint of helplessness, turned sideways, and let the old couple into the yard.
The old couple thanked each other for a while before walking in.
Wen Jiubai and I sat opposite the two old couples, and Bai Ze quickly made the tea, and held the teacup in front of the old couple with his nimble little paws. The old couple was taken aback, but still took the teacup after thanking them.
"Then you two, why did you come to the humble house so hard at night?" Wen Jiubai asked, sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor with his hands on his knees.
The old woman looked at her husband with worried eyes, and the old man returned the same look. In the end, it was the uneasy old gentleman who spoke.
"That...the thing is like this." The old man couldn't help but raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Recently, some strange things happened to my son Yingcai."
"What kind of weird thing?" I couldn't help interjecting.
"My son Yingcai has been studying in a city outside. Later we heard that he found a beautiful girlfriend in that city. I heard that the woman is both beautiful and virtuous. It was something to be happy about. Yingcai is not young anymore. We have always been worried about his finding friends. We never expected to bring back such an excellent daughter-in-law for us this time. Our old couple even invited someone to drink because of this matter. Woolen cloth."
"But then a strange thing happened." The old woman hastily added to the old man's words, "When Yingcai came home last week, he brought the girl back. We saw that it was exactly as he said, She is a beautiful and virtuous girl. Yingcai was fascinated by her, and gave her all the good and expensive things. But just a few days after he brought her back, a strange thing happened. Yingcai First, I suddenly lost my appetite and couldn’t eat anything. Then I started to be in a trance, often talking to some dead things, or I just locked myself in the house and didn’t come out for a few days.”
I swallowed and asked, "Then what?"
"Then, this is the weirdest thing!" The old woman said with an anxious and sad expression, "Then we discovered that cat hair grew out of Yingcai's body!"
