"Did Rhubarb get bitten? I have to go and take a look to make sure he doesn't get bitten out anytime soon. Is dad okay?"

"Still the same, afraid of light, hiding under the quilt and refusing to go out."

When Xiao Chen's father was mentioned, Xiao Chen's mother looked to the room on the right with some worry.

Zhong Li followed her gaze and looked there, only to see a black mist shrouding the door of the room, and traces of black air overflowing from the cracks beside the door.

"Sister, you have been looking there, did you find anything?" Xiao Chen looked at her serious expression and asked nervously.

Zhong Li glanced at Xiao Chen's mother. He was afraid of scaring her. He just blinked at Xiao Chen and said, "It's okay. Take me to where I live first and put my things away."

"Oh, boss, come here, I've cleared out the entire second floor. You can live alone and no one will disturb you. It will definitely be more comfortable than living in a hotel."

"Okay, please, auntie." Zhong Li thanked her with a smile.

By the time we had the New Year's dinner at Xiao Chen's house, it was already dark.

Throughout the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Chen's mother and grandma prepared a sumptuous meal. However, Xiao Chen's father still hid in the room and did not come out, so they were not very happy with the meal.

"Flowers are blooming and flower growers are happy to welcome the Year of Togetherness! Dear audience friends, happy New Year to everyone! ..."

The sound of the Spring Festival Gala came through the TV in the hall; the attention of Xiao Chen's mother and grandma were instantly attracted.

Zhong Li glanced at the door, which was completely shrouded in black mist, and winked at Xiao Chen. He quickly followed Zhong Li out of the house under the pretext of going to the toilet.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Zhong Li handed him a few talismans folded into triangles, "Take one for yourself, and give the rest to your mother and grandma. Something happened to your father, so you'd better find a way to distract them to avoid any commotion. If it’s too big, it’ll hurt them.”

Xiao Chen nodded: "This is simple, I will do it now."

Zhong Li watched him climb up the ladder and turn off the electric switch at home.

"Ah! Why is there a power outage?" Xiao Chen's mother's exclamation came from the hall.

"Mom, the fuse on the first floor is burned out. I'll fix it now if I want, but I'm afraid you guys can't wait to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Grandma said anxiously: "Oh, that's not possible! The Spring Festival Gala is a must-see. How about you slowly fix it yourself, and we can take your boss to the old house to see it?"

"No, grandma, the old house is too dilapidated and there are many mice. Don't scare my boss for a while. She will help me with the flashlight here. After a while, I will repair it and take her down to the old house to call you."

"Oh, that's fine. Thanks to your boss, we'll bring out the brazier for you. Don't forget to add charcoal to the fire later. Remember to warm up your dad's food when he wakes up."

"Okay! I know, if you don't go over, your favorite Xiao Yueyue's program will be played later!"

Xiao Chen coaxed and deceived the two of them all the way. When he came back, he saw Zhong Li using something he didn't know to create complex formations in the yard. The formation diagram emits a soft light, mysterious in the darkness.

"Sister, what is this for?" he asked as he stepped into the courtyard.

"Don't move!" Zhong Li yelled, freezing him in place.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only put one foot on the ground and lift the other, staggering in place.

Zhong Li ignored him, waved his hand, and saw the ground under Xiao Chen's feet was ignited, and luminous lines quickly lit up.

The lines in each center cross and connect with each other, and under countless small arrays, they are connected into a larger array.

And the foot he lifted happened to be the center of the formation that he almost stepped on.

"Sister? I can't hold it anymore. Can you put your foot down?"

Zhong Li smashed a black shadow in his hand into a formation, and the formation in the entire courtyard disappeared instantly.

"Wow, sister, with your skills, you can perform magic on the Spring Festival Gala."

Xiao Chen was amused. He had a problem since childhood; the more nervous he was, the more he liked to tease Menzi.

Sometimes he would talk nonsense, just like now, seeing Zhong Li engaging in such a big fight, his heart was scratching like a cat.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Li smiled slightly and said, "Why are you nervous? I studied some at Wudang Mountain yesterday and got some inspiration. This is the spiritual magic formation diagram I just made temporarily."

"Ah? I thought it was because that yellow guy was too difficult to deal with, so you had to spend all your efforts to save my dad's life!"

He just breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the switch.

Zhong Li's cold swishing voice was heard in his ears: "Don't underestimate Huang Pizi. He is one of the five great guardian immortals in the Northeast. Especially those with some cultivation skills are the most weird and vengeful. This kind of Huang Pizi, I usually don’t go down the mountain easily and only eat chicken, duck and poultry.”

Zhong Li glanced at his back, raised her lips and said, "Especially the yellow one with a tuft of gray hair on its head. This is the family immortal who is about to transform. If you kill it, how will it let you go?"

Xiao Chen retracted his feet and carefully avoided the place where the light had shined in his memory.

"Sister, this is the countryside, and chickens and ducks are the life of the country people. We don't have such a thing as Baojiaxian here. My dad killed it when it came to mess with my chickens."

"These days, every few hours, they will rush in with a group of little weasels and bite the chickens in the yard like crazy. Not only did they bite my dad, they also bitten my big yellow dog."

Xiao Chen glanced at the door on the right and said, "My father was bitten by a yellow-skinned dog. My mother was afraid of any virus, so she took my father to the hospital. He was prescribed medicine and given a rabies vaccine."

"When I came back, I noticed something was wrong. My dad sometimes looked at chickens and ducks in a weird way. I clearly heard the swallowing sound in his throat when he saw live chickens."

"Last night he suddenly went crazy. He grabbed a chicken with his bare hands, tore it in half, and lowered his head to drink the chicken's neck. My mother tried to stop him, but he almost strangled my mother to death with one hand."

"I've seen your live broadcast of ghost hunting. I suspected that he had hit an evil spirit, so I put the talisman you gave me directly on his head. Sure enough, behind the talisman, he screamed and his whole body felt like convulsions. After drying up and falling to the ground, a word came from his stomach."

“On New Year’s Eve, when the whole family died!”

Only now did Xiao Chen have the time to tell Zhong Li the whole story alone.

Zhong Li glanced at his father's room. The door was completely shrouded in black mist. If she really had her evil talisman with her, it shouldn't be so serious.

"What happened to the talisman?"

"Well, when I went to call you, my mother saw that my father's face was covered with blood, so she wanted to bring him a basin of water to wash him. The towel was not dried, so some water dripped on it. The words on the talisman paper Some flowers."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Squeak...Squeak..."

While the two were talking, there was a rustling sound outside the courtyard door.

Zhong Li's face turned cold: "The real master is here!"
