chills

Lu Huaiyuan frowned: "A filial son?"

The servant nodded: "Yes, my old lady has lived for more than 110 years! The master is busy with business, so he can't stay with the old lady at home often, so he sends servants to take care of him every day. Every year, the old lady's birthday will hold a big banquet! "

Lu Huaiyuan asked: "Why didn't I see this old man in this house?"

The servant said: "The old lady is very old, her health is not good, and she is easy to catch cold. She usually rests indoors. If you want to see her, I will take you there."

The three followed the servant to the room where the old lady lived.Shen Huaiyu took a special look, that Li tea merchant is really a dutiful son.The residence he arranged for his mother should have been specially inspected by Mr. Feng Shui, and it is the one with the best location in his yard.

The old servant pushed the door open and entered the house, and then went in, raised the curtain, and it was the old lady's residence.As soon as the door curtain was raised, there was a faint musty smell in the air, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help covering his mouth and nose: "Your family's 'filial son' is really kind to his mother."

The servant smiled awkwardly: "The little Taoist is laughing. The one I tidied up will also open the windows to ventilate the room. The old lady's health has become worse and worse over the years. When she opened the window some time ago, she accidentally let the old lady I got cold. The master was so angry that he dared not open the windows in this room."

Shen Huaiyu nodded, expressing his understanding, and moved his gaze to the kang in the room, where he just saw the true face of the old birthday man.

In the middle was an old woman with silver hair sitting on the kang, her body bent like a root hanging from the branches of an old banyan tree.Her skin is dark yellow, her face is full of wrinkles, her eyes are cloudy, and she looks blankly at an empty room corner. Above, the whole person is as old as a dusty statue.

There are two quilts on the kang, which are neatly folded aside; there is also a low table with a pot of tea, several cups, a plate of fruit, and a plate of snacks.They should all be arranged by the servants.

Ye Qinqin was taken aback by the old lady's appearance, and gave a soft "噫".

"Old lady!" the servant shouted, "Several Taoist priests from Qingyun Mountain have come to see you!"

The old lady didn't move at all, she was completely integrated with the kang she was sitting on and the brocade quilt covered with it.

"Old lady!" The servant raised his voice, "Someone is here!"

The old lady seemed to have heard it this time, and turned her head slightly, staring at the floor with cloudy eyes.

"You're laughing," the servant said helplessly, "the old lady's ears are inadvertent, and we usually call her to talk to her."

Shen Huaiyu said: "It's not easy for an old birthday star to live to this age, and it's hard work for the family to take care of him."

He said this on his lips, but he thought in his heart: If he lives like this, he really doesn't know whether it is better to live or die.

The servant lowered his voice: "Our old lady's health is not very good, and she can't go to the ground, so she stays on the bed all day. My master is doing business, and he wants to bring back any good things he sees everywhere for the old lady to taste. Unfortunately, the old lady has no Good luck."

Lu Huaiyuan said, "Thank you."

The servant was puzzled: "Thank you for what?"

Lu Huaiyuan drew out his saber and pointed at the old lady: "We found what we were looking for."

The servant was taken aback and yelled to call his master.Li Tea Merchant found out what happened, so he didn't care about trying to figure out his plans, so he ran over without hesitation.The businessman was superstitious and didn't dare to offend Qing Yunzong. When he saw Lu Huaiyuan, he knelt down in front of him with a "plop" and kept shouting: "Everyone, please spare my mother's life! My mother never had anything to do with monsters!" connection!"

The old lady was sitting on the kang, Lu Huaiyuan's sword tip was pointing at her nose, but she remained motionless, as if she didn't know what happened.

Tea merchant Li repeatedly kowtowed: "Jiaci has been in poor health for so many years. I found all kinds of elixir from various places to feed her, so Jiaci can live to this day! She has no one to help her, and she can hardly even sit up! How could it be related to the case of losing a child in another family!"

Seeing the master's reaction, the maids and servants of the Li family also knelt down and spoke for the old lady.

With a cold face, Lu Huaiyuan picked up the brocade quilt covering the old lady's legs with the tip of his sword.Seeing this scene, Li Tea Merchant and the servant girls all changed their expressions drastically.

Under the old lady's brocade quilt were two legs that were too thin to support her whole body, and above that was a big belly.It looks like a big spider.

"What's going on!" Li Tea Merchant's eyes widened, "What's going on! Where's Linger! Get out!"

A trembling young girl stood up from the group of kneeling servants, about the same age as Ye Qinqin.She took two steps forward, then plopped down on her knees again, trembling all over, not daring to speak.

"Tell me clearly! What's going on!" Li Chashang pointed at the girl and shouted, trembling all over.

"Reply, Master's words," the girl named Ling'er replied tremblingly, "Ling'er doesn't know! Ling'er just takes care of the old lady as usual! She has never done anything to offend the old lady or the old lady!"

Li Tea Merchant was trembling with anger, turned his head to persuade Lu Huaiyuan again: "Little Daoist! Don't do it! Put down the sword quickly, my mother must have nothing to do with this matter!"

But Lu Huaiyuan said coldly: "It doesn't matter? Wait until I open the old woman's stomach to see what's inside, then we can tell whether it matters or not."

Li tea merchant heard this and started to cry again, Shen Huaiyu tugged at Lu Huaiyuan's sleeve and whispered to him: "Be careful."

Lu Huaiyuan nodded indiscriminately, not knowing how much he listened to Shen Huaiyu's words.

"Master Li," Shen Huaiyu said warmly, "Your old lady must have messed with something, we saw with our own eyes that 猰貐 entered your yard, searched the whole courtyard, only the old lady has something strange. "

"Senior brother, what's the use of telling him so much!" Lu Huaiyuan said, "This old lady is probably dead long ago! You think she is alive, but in fact, it's all just a faux pas."

"Impossible!" Li Tea Merchant's face turned red, and the veins on his neck could be seen, "Impossible! My mother is sitting here still panting! Just say she died long ago! I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it," Lu Huaiyuan sneered, "You gave your mother the room with the best feng shui, and you collected health-preserving medicines from all over the world. It's such a good treatment, it's no wonder you don't get targeted by monsters!"

Li Tea Merchant didn't persuade him any more, and simply rushed forward to snatch the sword from Lu Huaiyuan's hand. With Lu Huaiyuan's skill, how could he easily snatch it away?With a sway, he dodged the Li tea merchant, and the sword in his hand was still pointing at the old lady on the bed.Li Tea Merchant jumped to the ground and fell to the ground. The servants hurried over to help him up, and the scene was in chaos.

"Huaiyuan, you should explain it to them!" Shen Huaiyu shouted softly.

"Brother, for those of them who are unwilling to accept the facts, no matter how much you say, it will be nonsense." Lu Huaiyuan said, "If you don't show them, they will never believe it!"

As he spoke, he ignored the obstruction, took a step forward, and sliced ​​open the old lady's stomach with a sword. For a moment, the smell of blood overflowed, and the old lady's body quickly withered and turned black, emitting bursts of rancid stench.

Ye Qinqin was stimulated by the scene in front of him and felt nauseated.

There was indeed a baby in the womb of the old lady.
