Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

After the river god Ah Yan left, Li Kuer showed the small bottle to He Weiran.

"Sister He, what effect can this spirit water have on Ah Kui?"

He Weiran was also bad, so he took the bottle seriously and opened it for a while, then showed a certain expression of understanding, and finally said to Li Kuer: "I don't know either."

Li Ku'er squinted at the well next to him, and said to himself, I don't believe it.

He Weiran smiled indifferently, returned the bottle to her, and said, "Put it away, our problem is only half settled."

"half?"

"People can be cured, but Boss Dong and the others don't know what's going on."

"That's right! The proprietress said that Boss Dong is also sick. But that proprietress must not be a good person, and even tricked me into buying meat. She flicked the whisk, and I was caught."

"When I saw the proprietress in the past, I didn't see anything weird about her."

"Could it be..." Li Kuer gnawed on the nail of her index finger: "The proprietress was dropped by a monster?"

"I don't know... let's go, let's go to the butcher shop right now."

When the two arrived at the meat market, the butcher shop of Dong and his wife was empty.No one and no goods.I asked the street vendor next door, and the vendor said that the house next door was sold out today, so he took the stall back early.Li Ku'er remembered that when he came in the morning, there was not much meat on the stall, it was all from yesterday, so it was no wonder that the harvest was so much earlier than other shops.

The two inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the residence of Dong and his wife.A tile-roofed house with a closed door. In front of it is a small courtyard with firewood piles and a set of bamboo tables and chairs. To the east of the courtyard is a cowshed and pigsty, where a calf and a dozen big fat pigs are kept. To the west is a thatched cottage, and the smell of blood can be faintly smelled coming from that thatched cottage.

Li Ku'er looked at the thatched cottage and couldn't help but leaned closer to He Weiran. She thought it was the place where Boss Dong killed the livestock.Seeing this, He Weiran took Li Kuer's hand to comfort him, and then gently pushed the courtyard door.There was only a slap, and the door was unlocked. The two blatantly broke into the house without doing anything, and then opened the door of the tile-roofed house. If Boss Dong was really sick, he should be inside.

After entering the tile-roofed house, the afternoon sun illuminated half of the room.This is a hall, very messy, the tables and chairs seem to have been hacked by knives and are in dilapidated condition, all kinds of knives are scattered in the corners, stained with blood and smelling fishy.Further inside, there are two more doors.One door leads to the kitchen, and the other door leads to the bedroom.The bedroom is quite big, different from the hall, but it is neat and tidy, with a lot of furniture, even if it is not very exquisite, but the variety can be considered complete.Unlike the bedroom in Li Kuer's house, where it is clear at a glance, the bed in Boss Dong's house is separated by a row of screens.The screen is not elegant, but the wooden frame is pasted with paper, which is slightly yellow and old.

Going around the screen, there was a big man lying on the bed. It was Boss Dong. He closed his eyes and lay upright.Li Ku'er was frightened, wondering if he was dead, why was he motionless.Just as he was about to touch his breath, Boss Dong suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and said something confused: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Then he regained his composure.

Li Kuer withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sleep talk sounded violent, at least he was alive.What is certain now is that Boss Dong suffers from the same strange disease as Prince Qiao.

"Sister He, should we fetch a bowl of well water for Boss Dong to drink, then he can wake up." Li Kuer said.

He Weiran touched the tip of his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Wait a little longer, people are not in a hurry to save."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Li Kuer didn't understand.

"Isn't there still that lady boss?"

Li Kuer nodded, but when he thought of the proprietress, he felt scared. She was unsmiling, and knew those witchcrafts. No matter how I thought about it, it was weird.

The two found chairs to sit in the bedroom, facing the window, they could faintly see the courtyard.Not long after, there was movement outside, and the proprietress came back with a basket and opened the door.In that basket were large bundles of green grass, very fresh and tender.The first thing she did when she entered the yard was to enter the cowshed, where she carefully fed the grass to the calves in the shed.The little calf seemed to be very close to the proprietress, rubbing his head against her dress from time to time.The proprietress actually smiled, revealing a loving smile that Li Kuer had never seen before, touching the calf's neck and whispering.

Li Ku'er couldn't hear what she said, but felt that this scene was very warm.She looked at He Weiran, and felt curious when she saw that there was something deep in her face.He Weiran turned his eyes back and looked back, without speaking, just writing stroke by stroke on Li Kuer's palm.

Li Ku'er's palms were itchy, resisting the urge to shrink his hands, and recognized He Weiran's words: Niu-mu.She reacted quickly and understood the other party's meaning in an instant. The lady boss, is that the mother of the calf?

Now, Li Kuer wanted to hear the conversation between one person and one bull over there.She turned her head and tried her best to keep her right ear facing out of the window, so that she could be closer to the cowshed and receive the sound more easily.Seeing this, He Weiran smiled secretly, and stretched out his hand to tug on Li Kuer's earlobe twice.Li Ku'er was taken aback, and just about to complain, she found that her ears seemed to be much more intelligent than before, and she caught every word of the cow mother's words.

"My son, in a few days, Butcher Dong will go berserk and die suddenly in a dream. And those who buy meat and eat meat, each of them will die in pain and struggle in desire. At that time, This house belongs to you and me. My wife and I will turn this slaughterhouse into arable land and plant green grass and vegetables, so we can be self-sufficient and live a good life from now on.”

"Moo..." the little calf wailed softly.

"Don't be afraid, many people in the town died of illness because of this. With one more Butcher Dong, the officials won't be suspicious."

"Moo..." The little calf wailed again, sounding more pitiful than before.

Niu Mu raised her head slightly to look at the sky, sighed, and said, "I'm not doing evil, I'm all butcher Dong." She showed a gritted expression, angry and mourning at the same time: "It's useless for me to work hard for half my life for him to collect rent. , from dawn to dusk to plow the fields for others, never resting. I don’t want him to kill you and me. It doesn’t matter if he dies for his mother, but he still wants to kill you. You are still so young, how can I be reconciled.”

The cow mother burst into tears, holding the calf and weeping bitterly.The calf wailed and wailed, also shedding tears.

Li Kuer thought they were very pitiful, but in fact, according to the customs in Lingxi County, cows are used as livestock for the people to plow the fields, and they will not be killed alive.Most of the beef sold in the market is slaughtered shortly after the cattle die of old age, disease or injury. Some of the better ones are bison hunted by hunters. Moreover, because the cow is quite spiritual, there are rumors that if the cow is killed alive, the cow will come to revenge on the person who killed it with hatred.

Thinking of this, Li Kuer suddenly realized that the cow mother was killed by Boss Dong, and seeing that he was going to kill her cow, she became resentful and turned into a spirit of revenge.But why did Boss Dong kill the cow?It is not a small sum of money for these two cows to be leased to others for a long time. What is the reason for the hasty slaughter?Could it be that they are eager to sell meat to raise money?If so, it makes sense.

But no matter what, Li Kuer still felt that this was too cruel.Why not sell the cattle to others for farming?The town is so big, there will be people who will need it after all, it's better than killing.

Li Ku'er let out a hey, feeling in his heart, now that the cow cow came to claim his life, Boss Dong must be taking the blame.

She was lowering her head in melancholy, but her waist was pulled suddenly, it turned out that it was He Weiran who dragged her away from the place.She was puzzled, looked at He Weiran, who was frowning at the position where she was standing just now.

Li Kuer followed her gaze and found three thin and long silver needles stuck on the wooden frame not far away.Li Kuer's eyes narrowed, and after a while, the three silver needles gradually softened and turned black, and finally turned into three cow hairs and fell to the ground.On the wooden frame, there were only three deep holes left.If this happened to her... Li Kuer trembled all over, not daring to think about it anymore.

"It's you?" the voice of the cow cow sounded.Li Ku'er turned to look at the cow mother, seeing that she was staring at him suspiciously, she couldn't help hiding behind He Weiran.She knows that the cow mother remembers herself, and now she must be puzzled why this girl can still stand here after buying meat.

Niu Mu narrowed her eyes, stared at He Weiran who was blocking Li Kuer, and said, "Who are you? Why did you break into a private house?"

He Weiran confronted him with a stern face: "Who are you in this house?"

Niu Niu straightened her back and said, "This is my house, who do you think I am?"

He Weiran laughed suddenly, and said: "Hehehe, I only know that this is the house of Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong. When did the master's house become a cow?"

Niu Mu was furious, feeling that she had been humiliated, and was about to make trouble when she heard He Weiran say: "I don't mean to look down on you, but I don't agree with your choice. Niu Mu, you plan to just wear your clothes like this." Have other people's skins lived? It won't be long before Mrs. Dong's body can't take it anymore. She will weaken and die. What are you going to do when the time comes? Then find another living person to possess her and keep hurting her ever since. Is life constantly deepening the crime? If so, how is it different from Boss Dong?"

A few words hit the sore spot of the cow mother, she was still angry in her heart, but she had no choice but to admit that the question posed by the mysterious woman in front of her was indeed something she had scruples about.She gritted her teeth, her nose was red with tears and hatred: "If not, what else could I do?! Did I just watch butcher Dong kill my son?! Could it be that the life of our cattle clan is not life?!"

"Indeed, all living beings are equal. It is understandable for you to take revenge on Boss Dong's family, but what about the other common people? Those people trapped by the nightmare have nothing to do with your death, but you have passed the resentment on them for no reason. Sooner or later One day, the bad karma created by this obsession will add to your next life, have you considered how to bear these consequences?"

The cow mother had a stern face, and said resolutely: "Even if I have to suffer all kinds of hardships in the underworld, even if I end up with ants in the afterlife, I...will...will...willingly!!!"
