I run a funeral home, I don't know how to teach people how to slay demons

It was already evening when Lu Changsheng returned home.

In the living room, Hongye and Gu Jia were chatting quietly. The mermaid boy stood aside, looking around Changsheng Hall with some trepidation, looking restless.

"Hongye, thank you for your hard work." Lu Changsheng smiled and waved to Hongye, turned his head and looked at the boy, and asked, "Child, do you feel better?"

The boy wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into, "Master, I'm fine."

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, sat down, grabbed the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea, raised his chin towards the boy, and said, "Why are you standing there, sit down."

When the boy heard Lu Changsheng's words, it was like a robot receiving an order, and his body sat down stiffly, extremely unnatural.

"Is this the sea monster? This is the first time I've seen one. We just asked him to sit down, but he refused to do so after a long time. He did as the master said. He's really obedient."

Hongye looked at the boy in surprise and smiled.

"Is he okay?" Lu Changsheng poured Hongye a cup of hot tea and asked.

"Nothing serious. I asked a colleague who is good at treatment to see him. He's just a little weak. He will recover after a few days of rest. The vitality of the monster race is much stronger than that of the human race." Hongye took a sip of the tea and said.

"That's good." Lu Changsheng turned his head and looked at the boy, saying lightly: "I bought you, but I didn't intend to make you my servant. We Changsheng Hall don't do that."

"Since you follow me, you will be my third apprentice in the future. You don't have to call me master. I can't stand it. You will call me master in the future like Jiaer."

Gu Jia's eyes lit up, and she looked at the boy more gently.

"Congratulations, kid. It's not easy to be Mr. Lu's apprentice~" Hongye said enviously.

"Master...Master...Master." The boy tried, but he couldn't say the word "Master" at all. It was as if those two words would trigger a punishment from heaven. The will deep in his heart suppressed his original intention.

The boy lowered his head sadly. He wanted to cry a little, but even his tears were out of his control.

Without the permission of the "master", he couldn't even cry.

"It's okay, change slowly. Jiaer also learned to speak for a long time before." Lu Changsheng poured a cup of hot tea for the boy and said softly.

Gu Jia also patted the boy's shoulder encouragingly and smiled sweetly.

The boy's throat was a little choked. He had always been put in an iron cage, displayed everywhere like a livestock, and allowed others to choose.

It's been a long time...

No one treated him as a human being...

Lu Changsheng secretly glanced at the system interface in his mind.

The dog system was silent. It seemed that it had not yet recognized the identity of the new apprentice.

Lu Changsheng was a little helpless, but he could only accept the reality. He would talk about it when the dog system detected that he could accept an apprentice.

Lu Changsheng retracted his thoughts and slowly said, "During the daytime in the black market..."

"You... said you were a human?"

When asking the question, Lu Changsheng glanced at Hongye calmly, and the latter shook his head slightly.

The boy opened his mouth several times, but couldn't speak. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then slowly said, "I... am a human... used to be..."

"Used to be?" Lu Changsheng's hand holding the teacup froze. He had a bad idea.

This scene always feels familiar...

"My name is...Niu Jiashun, I am...from Niujia Village..." Niu Jiashun's voice was intermittent, and his body was trembling a little, as if he was trying to overcome his inner fear.

Niujia Village?

Lu Changsheng and Hongye looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Only Gu Jia stared at the master in confusion.

"The Niujia Village you are talking about, is it the Niujia Village in Lincheng?" Hongye was a little excited.

Niu Jiashun did not answer, but just looked at Lu Changsheng in fear, waiting for the "master" to ask.

"Are you from Niujia Village in Lincheng?" Lu Changsheng repeated Hongye's words, his tone was terribly cold.

"Well... Master, do you know Niujia Village?" Niu Jiashun's eyes flashed with a light, and his tone was much smoother.

"About a week ago, a lot of people suddenly came to the village, all of them were awakened. They said that there were demons in the village, and they wanted us to get on their cars and take refuge."

"I didn't want to go, but they forced me to get on the car, so I had to do it."

"After I got on the car, I fell asleep quickly. When I woke up, I was already locked in an iron cage. They all said, all said..."

"I am a demon."

Niu Jiashun said, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

"I am not, I told them, I am a human, I am a human. But they..."

"They just don't believe me..."

A week ago...

That's what happened after Hongye and I got rid of Qiu Shali.

We just left, and something happened in Niujia Village?

Lu Changsheng calculated the time in his heart, and his eyes became colder and colder. He tried his best to control his emotions and soften his tone.

"Do you know Sanniuzi?"

Niu Jiashun nodded, "Of course I know Brother Sanniu, and Sister Erniu, we were taken away together at that time."

Lu Changsheng's heart sank. He deliberately didn't mention Erniu, but Niu Jiashun could blurt it out. It seems that he might really be from Niujia Village...

"Master, what I said is true. There are still many people in the village who have been captured. They...may not have turned into monsters yet." Niu Jiashun's voice became lower and lower.

He already knew that he was a monster now.

That voice that was far higher than his will reminded him all the time.

There is no way back...

Niu Jiashun can no longer turn back into a human, but he still holds a glimmer of luck, maybe...

Maybe other people in the village have not been turned into monsters, maybe they...

can still be saved.

The living room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time.

Lu Changsheng pointed to one of the rooms in the store and said, "You will live in that room from now on. If you have any problems in life, ask Jiaer. The rest will be left to Master..."

Niu Jiashun looked at Lu Changsheng with a choked voice. He wanted to say "Thank you, Master", but when the words came to his lips, they became, "Master, thank you."

He lowered his head sadly, not daring to face his master.

Lu Changsheng looked deeply at his third apprentice and said softly, "It's okay, take your time..."

...

...

"Hongye, what do you think of this?" Lu Changsheng looked at Niu Jiashun's room and asked.

"It's a big problem..." Hongye held her chin with one hand, recalling and saying, "If what Niu Jiashun said is true, this matter must have been involved by the people of the Demon Slayer Division."

"The stamps on the materials you showed me are all true."

"And if there is no one to back them up, no one would dare to be so bold as to kidnap all the people in the village and turn them into demons to sell."

"Forcing a good woman into prostitution is already a serious crime, forcing a person to become a demon..."

"These people are really crazy!"

Lu Changsheng nodded and said slowly, "It's useless for us to guess blindly. Just ask the real owner and we should know what's going on."

Hongye looked at Lu Changsheng in confusion.

Lu Changsheng smiled coldly and took Hongye to the backyard of Changsheng Hall.

At the beginning, Lu Changsheng chose this store, in addition to greed for its size, there was another very important reason, that is, there is a small yard here, and when he is free, he can grow vegetables and raise small animals.

Unfortunately, the Changsheng Hall farm has not opened yet, but it has planted something else first.

In the dark yard, a figure was struggling hard. Seeing Lu Changsheng coming, he opened his eyes wide in fear, with a pleading look on his face.

His body was half buried in the soil. His fat body was exhausted after struggling for most of the night.

His clothes were soaked with cold sweat and stuck tightly to his body. A gust of night wind blew over, and he couldn't stop shivering.

"Boss, you should have calmed down." Lu Changsheng grinned, slowly walked to the side of the shop owner, and spoke softly.

"Let's... chat?"
