I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Chapter 14 The Liu family’s illness

At sunset.

Xu Lang and his party arrived at Jiaotou Town.

Liu Huiniang's natal family is a large family in Jiaotou Town.

Gaomen Mansion.

But when they arrived at Liu's house, they found the spiritual flag fluttering, the red lacquered door tightly closed, and a gloomy atmosphere.

The three of them were surprised.

Liu Huiniang quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old man opened the small door and stuck out half of his head.

"Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"

"Uncle Ming, I am Hui Niang."

Liu Huiniang said.

Hearing what Liu Huiniang said, the old man recognized her and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Miss Third, you are back!!"

The old man quickly opened the door and let them in.

Liu Huiniang asked: "Uncle Ming, what happened at home?"

The old man, Uncle Ming, who had been the housekeeper of the Liu family for many years, cried in tears: "Madam, the eldest young master, the eldest young lady, they are all gone."

"Not here? What do you mean?"

"They all passed away."

Hearing the news, Liu Huiniang felt dizzy for a while. She said with a pale face: "Mom, and my eldest brother, haven't they always been in good health? Why did they suddenly..."

At this moment, an old man walked out from the front.

The clothes are gorgeous, but the sadness on his face cannot be concealed.

He is Liu Huiniang's father, Liu Cangke.

When Liu Cangke saw Uncle Ming coming in with three people, he was about to ask Uncle Ming, but then he saw Liu Huiniang's appearance clearly and immediately cursed: "What are you doing back here?"

"father......"

Liu Huiniang cried.

Liu Cangke said: "Liu Huiniang, from the time you insisted on following that man named Li, you are no longer a member of our Liu family. Our Liu family does not welcome you, so get out of here."

"Dad, my daughter is unfilial..."

Liu Huiniang knelt down in pain.

"Mother..."

Xiaodouzi on the side hugged her mother, puffed her cheeks and stared at Liu Cangke and said: "You are a bad guy, your father is gone, and you still bully my mother."

Liu Changke looked at Xiaodouzi and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At this time, another young man came out of the main room.

He is Liu Huiniang's second brother Liu Li.

When Liu Li saw Liu Huiniang, he was very happy and said: "Third sister, are you back?"

"Second brother." Liu Huiniang called.

Liu Li said to Liu Changke: "Dad, it's hard for Third Sister to come back once, so don't talk about her again."

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Liu Changke dropped these words and walked away.

"Third sister, let's go sit in the main room."

Liu Li said.

Liu Huiniang nodded, took Xiaodouzi's hand and walked inside.

Xu Lang followed.

Several people took their seats.

Liu Li asked: "Why didn't my brother-in-law come with you?"

"Li Lang is no longer here. He went to Monkey King Ridge to help me find Ganoderma lucidum to treat my illness and never came back..."

Liu Huiniang cried.

Liu Li felt sad, and then sighed heavily.

Liu Huiniang wiped away her tears and asked: "Second brother, mother, eldest brother, and sister-in-law, what is going on with them?"

"The matter started three months ago. My eldest brother didn't know what happened. He suddenly fell ill. We called a doctor. We thought he would be fine soon, but within a few days, his eldest brother passed away."

Liu Li sighed and continued: "After my eldest brother left, my mother also fell ill and left soon after. At that time, we thought that my mother died due to excessive sadness and depression. But we did not expect that the maids and servants at home also died. Die one after another.”

"Who on earth harmed our Liu family like this!"

Liu Huiniang was so sad that she burst into tears.

Liu Li said: "So many people died in the family all at once. We also thought about whether someone wanted to harm our Liu family, but after thinking about it, we didn't think about who our Liu family had offended? Moreover, we invited people from far and near The doctors found nothing, and there were no signs of poisoning on the deceased.

Even in the end, we invited some wizards and Taoists to practice the method, but it still had no effect. Just half a month ago, my sister-in-law also died of illness. "

"When they get sick, do they have any special symptoms?"

Xu Lang asked.

"Who is this?" Liu Li looked at Liu Huiniang.

Liu Huiniang then remembered that Xu Lang had not been introduced yet and said, "This is Mr. Xu Lang, and he is Li Lang's friend."

Liu Li nodded slightly to Xu Lang as a greeting and said: "If we want to talk about special symptoms, it is that each of them has a headache and has a skinny face."

Xu Lang asked again: "Have you calculated the time between each of their deaths?"

"I haven't calculated this, but it will probably take about half a month." Liu Li said.

"Then there should be someone in your mansion who has a headache and is sick right now?" Xu Lang said.

"Ah...it's true. A servant fell ill the day before yesterday."

Liu Li's eyes suddenly froze, as if he thought of something, he stood up quickly and said to Uncle Ming who was waiting aside: "Uncle Ming, let's go to Lao Cai's room."

A group of people came to the lower room.

Lao Cai pushed open one of the rooms.

A middle-aged man with a pale face and a haggard and thin face was lying on the bed.

"Lao Cai, how are you?" Uncle Ming asked.

"Oh, it turns out it's Uncle Ming, and the Second Young Master, why are they here too?"

Lao Cai tried his best to open his eyes and saw that Liu Li was also there. He was struggling to get up, but Liu Li stopped him and said, "Lao Cai, don't get up. We just came to see you."

-

After a few minutes.

In Lao Cai's room.

Liu Li looked at Xu Lang: "Brother Xu, do you see any problems?"

Although he got Xu Lang's advice and knew that there was something fishy, ​​he couldn't find any clues about Lao Cai after searching.

Including everything in the room.

Seeing Liu Li asking for help, Xu Lang was speechless. What could he tell? He was not a doctor and he didn't know how to treat patients.

"Mr. Xu, you have to help our Liu family, otherwise if this continues, our Liu family will really be doomed."

Liu Huiniang said sadly.

"Brother Xiaolang, you must help us."

Xiaodouzi also spoke, looking pitiful.

"..."

Xu Lang didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try..."

At this time, he thought that there was an eye-opening talisman on his hand, and he wanted to see if it was a monster.

"Urgent like a law, the eyes of the sky will be opened!"

Xu Lang took out the eye-opening talisman from his pocket and held it between his index fingers in his right hand. With a low drink, the yellow paper talisman suddenly burst into flames.

Smoke rises.

at the same time.

Xu Lang's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he could see through everything in the world.

There is nothing to hide.

He can clearly see a flying mosquito lurking in a corner.

Its six arms and legs.

It vibrates its wings.

Xu Lang's eyes swept across the room, past everyone, and finally landed on Lao Cai on the hospital bed.

He saw a faint wisp of gas coming from the back of Lao Cai's head.

"That is……"

Just as Xu Lang continued to delve into the specific source, the gas in front of his eyes suddenly disappeared and everything returned to normal.

The eye-opening charm failed.

This eye-opening talisman was the first talisman he drew, and its effect was limited.

When Xu Lang went out, he took it with him in his arms. He didn't expect to need it so soon.

However, this is enough.

"Brother Xu, did you find anything?"

Liu Li asked hurriedly.

Xu Lang said: "Look at the back of his head!"
