My wife is not a demon

Meng Yanqing subconsciously called out, but the child ran away suddenly.

The woman was startled, and hurriedly chased after him.

Chapter 409 Meng Yanqing's Dialogue with the Demon Spirit! ([-] words)

The child ran very fast, and when Meng Yanqing chased him to a deserted courtyard, the other party was nowhere to be seen.

The woman in the yard in front of me had never seen it during the day.

There is only a two-story attic inside.

The attic has not been repaired for a long time, faint moss is growing in the damp brick cracks, gusts of cold wind pass through the damaged wooden window lattice, making a strange whimpering sound.

"Little Xuan'er..."

Meng Yanqing called out softly, and the palms holding the talisman were sweating.

She wasn't quite sure if the child she saw just now was her daughter, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would continue to investigate.

Unfortunately the call was not answered.

The woman bit her pink lips, stepped into the small courtyard, and gently pushed open the attic door.

Compared with the dark night, there is a stone lantern on the wall of the attic, with candles lit, the light is faint, as if it is just a firefly in the corner of the quiet room.

The layout of the room is very simple, and there are only a few pieces of furniture, but it is very clean.

And under the carved stone lantern, sat an old woman.

The old woman's hair was silver and white, and she bent her body as if she was sewing clothes. Her face was normal, not as burnt as other people's, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes contained kindness.

Perhaps sensing something, the old woman turned her head to look at the door.

When she saw Meng Yanqing standing abruptly at the door, the old woman hurriedly picked up the stick beside her and retreated to the corner of the cabinet.

And this move made Meng Yanqing quite happy.

Prove that the other party is human.

She quickly said: "Don't be afraid, big sister, I'm not a monster outside, I'm a lost foreigner."

Hearing Meng Yanqing's words, the old woman looked surprised and uncertain.

She lit an oil lamp next to her and pushed it forward. After seeing Meng Yanqing's beautiful and charming cheeks, the old woman frowned in surprise and said, "You...how did you come here?"

Meng Yanqing's eyes were red: "My daughter is missing, I just wanted to find her, and I don't know why I'm here."

Seeing that the woman's expression did not seem to be lying, the old woman hesitated and said softly: "Then you go in and hide first, it's very dangerous outside."

"Thank you ma'am."

Meng Yanqing wiped away her tears and entered the room.

The small charcoal stove on one side was still burning wood, and the warmth in the room somewhat comforted the woman who had just experienced fear.

"Big sister, you said you came to this village to find your daughter?"

The old lady brought a cup of hot tea and asked.

Meng Yanqing didn't dare to tell the truth, nodded and said: "I went to visit relatives with my daughter, but when we passed by Wuchen Village, the girl was too playful and couldn't find her. So I came to look for her, but I don't know why, this village ..."

The old woman sighed: "It should be said that you are lucky or unlucky. But you are still alive now, so you are lucky. You have seen those guys outside."

Holding the teacup in both hands, Meng Yanqing nodded slightly, feeling the heat from the cup noodles.

Recalling what I saw before, my heart still trembles.

"To put it bluntly, although I don't understand how you got here, if your daughter really came to this place, I'm afraid... she would have died long ago."

said the old woman.

Meng Yanqing's curled eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to tell the old woman that her daughter was a demon, but she was still worried when she thought of the danger outside.

Meng Yanqing raised her head and asked, "Sister, why do you..."

"I used to be from Wuchen Village."

There was a wry smile on the corner of the old woman's mouth, "After the fire destroyed nine years ago, the old woman was lucky to escape, but she can only live here with her grandson and my son, and it is difficult to go out."

"Why don't those monsters attack you?" Meng Yanqing was curious.

The old woman smiled slightly: "This is where Goddess Wumo once lived... Forget it, you probably don't know who Goddess Wumo is. Anyway, you are safe here, and you will find out how to get out after dawn tomorrow morning." Bar."

Meng Yanqing had heard Chen Mu talk about Goddess Wumo before.

From the husband's words, I probably know that the goddess is a woman with a strong desire to control. I didn't expect that this house belonged to her. No wonder those monsters dare not approach.

But Meng Yanqing, who was worried about her daughter, didn't want to leave just like that. She asked softly, "Sister, didn't you see a little girl? She's about this tall and young."

Seeing Meng Yanqing's gesture, the old woman shook her head: "No, if your daughter appears around here, maybe I will know. But as I said before, in this kind of place, a person as young as your daughter , it’s not easy to survive.”

An unconcealable loss appeared in Meng Yanqing's eyes.

She looked at the kind-looking old woman in front of her: "Are you going to stay here forever? There must be a way to get out."

"Strange old lady, I can go out."

The old woman smiled wryly and shook her head, continuing her needlework. "But my grandson and son couldn't get out of the village for some reason. I thought, what if I go out, it's better to be here with the children."

Feeling the sadness and helplessness of the old woman, Meng Yanqing thought of her daughter.

She and Xiao Xuan'er are so helpless.

Knowing that the chances of being able to save her daughter are very small, but she just can't bear to abandon such a daughter.

"Where are your grandson and son now?" Meng Yanqing asked curiously.

The old woman pointed to the stairs: "I just had dinner, and I'm sleeping on it now. By the way, you haven't eaten yet. It just so happens that there are some leftovers here. I'll warm them up for you."

"Need not……"

Just as Meng Yanqing was about to decline, the old woman had already walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen, so the woman had no choice but to sit back on the chair.

Looking at the old woman who was faltering, Meng Yanqing felt pain in his heart.

If you can find your daughter, maybe you should find a way to take this family out, and you can't hide here forever.
