Chapter 4 The Lonely Guest

Late at night, the watchman passed by on the street, knocking out the tuk tuk of the third watch.The sky is the color of celadon glaze, and the houses below are sunk in darkness, arranged in clusters, too thick to melt away.

The aunt turned over, leaned her hands to the side, and fell into the cold blanket.She closed her eyes and touched. The place where her husband should have been lying was empty and there was nothing.Are you out?She frowned, turned around and waited for a while, suddenly felt that something was wrong, there was a chamber pot next to the bed, where could he go to give Gong?

She sat up suspiciously, opened the curtain and got out of bed. The room was not lit, and it was dark. Looking out from the brocade window, it was also dimly dark outside. The shadows of flowers and plants fell on the ground, like clumps of spooky ghosts. film.The night was very quiet, and from time to time, there were a few baby-like cries of wild cats, and a woman's moaning was faintly heard, which was far away and could not be heard clearly.

She was a little scared, and she stepped on the ground with bare feet, and the stone floor was close to her soles.She went to the window and listened carefully for a while, the woman's groan became clearer, it was clearly in her own house.

To die, the house is haunted.She wanted to find her husband, secretly resenting his disappearance at this time.When he was in a hurry, he was taken aback suddenly, and an embarrassing guess came to his mind.The groan came from the kitchen, and Madoka slept in the servant's room next to the kitchen.She couldn't believe it, but she pushed the door open and walked towards the kitchen.Because of heart palpitations, he forgot to put on his shoes, stepped on the shadow of the tree with bare feet, walked around the corridor, and walked to the bottom of Qi Yin's attic, the groan became more and more clear, it was in the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a rest today, my stomach hurts." She heard her husband pleading.

The groaning stopped, and Xiaoyuan snorted: "Dead man, are you tired? If you dare to lose me, see if I don't stab you to the dominatrix!"

"No, it really hurts my stomach. Ouch..."

My aunt was so angry that she was full of overwhelming anger. She was about to rush forward when the tiles above her head moved and made a crackling sound. She was startled.From nowhere came the wild cat's cries again, one after another, screaming like a baby, crying so hard that it made one's scalp numb.She stroked her chest, casually picked up a bamboo pole against the wall, took two deep breaths, and kicked the door open.

The two dogs and men were indeed inside, both of them were half-dressed, with bare white legs.Xiaoyuan was half-ly lying on the stove, when the door opened and the moonlight came in, she was completely stunned, her face was as pale as a ghost under the moonlight.Uncle's eyes widened as well, and he was still lying on Xiaoyuan's body, forgetting to react.

My aunt was dizzy with anger, and yelled, "I'll kill you adulterers and whores!"

As soon as the bamboo pole was hit, my uncle ran away with his head in his arms, crying while hiding.Xiaoyuan knelt on the ground and cried: "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me, they are all slaves of the master, and there is nothing the servant can do!"

It doesn't matter if she doesn't cry, but when she cries, my aunt is even more furious, she turns around and hits Xiaoyuan's face with a bamboo pole: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard, I'll beat you to death, you bastard! Let's see how you hook up with people!"

Xiaoyuan tossed and rolled on the ground, crying and howling loudly, Auntie rushed forward and pulled out all her hairpins, and then went to take off her clothes.Xiaoyuan tugged at her clothes, and shouted, "Master, save me!"

Uncle stood at the other end of the kitchen and did not respond. My aunt sneered and said, "You still expect him to save you! I'll strip off your clothes and sell you to the Goulan Yard! Let's see if he can save you!"

Xiaoyuan didn't know where the energy came from, she kicked her aunt away, scrambled and ran towards her uncle, hugged her uncle's legs with both hands and cried, "Yao Lang, you said you would protect me!"

My aunt was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she picked up the bamboo pole and wanted to beat it again.Uncle turned his back to the two of them, half of his body was shrouded in darkness, and he turned his head very slowly.He turned his head very strangely, like an elderly man with difficulty in moving, and his movements paused.

Seeing that he still wanted to protect each other, my aunt yelled: "You shameless, you still want to stop me!"

Xiaoyuan was close, but she could see very clearly—uncle turned her head, but didn't move her body.There was a very crisp click on the neck, and the whole head turned towards them.Because his neck was broken, his head lowered abruptly, and his eyes just happened to look straight at Madoka who was hugging him.

Xiaoyuan yelled, and then crawled back to her aunt.My aunt was about to call her a ghost, but my uncle opened his mouth. The mouth was so huge that it was impossible for a human to open it.At the same time, nine snake-like long necks protruded from the black mouth, and each neck had a flat and withered head, and the nine heads opened their mouths to Auntie and Xiaoyuan together, screaming like a baby. Crying, hoarse.

The two women were terrified and screamed at the same time: "Ah—"

The old lady was woken up by the screaming, opened the curtain and sat up.Where there are women, there will be no peace, she understands that she has always disliked Yuniang's temperament, and she secretly acquiesced in Xiaoyuan's affair with her son.Just wait until the day when Xiaoyuan has a belly, even if Yuniang is unwilling, she has to take her in.

Unexpectedly, there has been no movement in Xiaoyuan's stomach since the beginning of the year, and seeing the commotion tonight, maybe something happened.She sighed, put on her clothes and went out.

Before passing the corner gate, the big tree in front of him whirled, and a figure jumped down.She looked up and saw that it was Qi Yin's child.She secretly thought it was bad, Yuniang's medicine was not enough, and the child woke up unexpectedly.Qi Yin didn't come over immediately, but stood under the tree and looked at her in horror.She felt strange, and then saw that the child was holding an ax in his hand, and blood was dripping drop by drop on the cold ax blade.

There was a buzzing in her mind, and she pointed at him with trembling fingers: "You...you...who did you kill? Is Yu Niang my son, or my grandson?" Yes, yes, this kid must know that they want Xiaoshan Going to Xianshan instead of him, holding an ax to kill someone with a grudge in her heart, her eyes were about to split open, and she wailed, "I don't know how to raise a white-eyed wolf, I shouldn't have taken you in in the first place!"

Qi Yin didn't speak, but gritted her teeth and ran towards her murderously with an ax in hand.She backed away in astonishment, and shouted: "You still want to kill me! You killed me! You killed me!"

The ax swung straight towards her face, she covered her head subconsciously, the ax whizzed past her head, she heard something screaming, and then the smelly blood fell all over her head and face.Opening his eyes in horror, he saw nine withered brown broken necks lying at his feet, and the huge body and wings of the strange bird.

"This thing has been following you." Qi Yin said, wiping the blood off his face.

The old lady was still in shock, and said, "This...what is this?"

"I don't know either." Qi Yin shook her head, "Go back to the house, I'll take a look in the front yard."

After Qi Yin finished speaking, he walked towards the front yard with an ax in his hand. The old lady looked back, but there was still some distance from the house, and the road was pitch black. She didn't dare to walk by herself, and staggered behind Qi Yin.Pushing open the corner door, I saw Xiaoyuan and my aunt rushing over in panic, followed by my uncle with nine long necks sticking out of his mouth, but the strange bird didn't seem to be good at manipulating it, my uncle walked in a twisted way, and the two Both legs turned outward.

The old lady fainted when she saw his appearance, Qi Yin helped her lean against the threshold.Yao Xiaoshan was also woken up, rubbing his eyes, pulling on his shoes, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Uncle could not catch up with Auntie and Xiaoyuan, he turned a corner and walked towards Yao Xiaoshan.My aunt hurriedly yelled: "Xiao Shan, run!"

Yao Xiaoshan finally saw his father clearly, screamed and ran away.Uncle turned his legs and rushed at him, Yao Xiaoshan ran fast, but uncle couldn't catch up, so he turned around and rushed at Xiaoyuan.Xiaoyuan screamed and dodged, but her uncle couldn't even catch up. He turned his head and saw the old lady lying on the ground, limping over.The little aunt was shocked and ran over to drag the old lady, but she couldn't drag it because it was too heavy.

Qi Yin went up with an axe, and hit his uncle on the back of the head with the axe, half of his head was split open by him, and blood mixed with yellow and white brain matter splashed on his face.Qi Yin gritted his teeth and smashed down with the axe, his uncle's head and the head of the strange bird were smashed to pieces.

Everyone looked at him in horror, not knowing whether they were afraid of the strange bird or Qi Yin's murderous appearance.

After chopping for a long while, his uncle's head and the strange bird's head were rotten like a lump of mud, Qi Yin threw the axe, and leaned against the auspicious jar to catch his breath.

After a while of horror, the aunt realized that her uncle was gone, and she sat on the ground clapping her hands and feet and crying loudly: "Sin, what's going on? Why did monsters enter our house! My husband, my husband!"

Qi Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "My cousin bought the egg from Xishi. He thought it was a unicorn egg, but he didn't expect it to be a monster egg from a strange bird."

The little aunt suddenly realized, she cried and threw herself into Yao Xiaoshan's arms and pinched him, "You bastard, bastard! You killed your father, look at what you did!"

"It's not me, it's not me! I didn't know it was a demon egg..." Yao Xiaoshan also cried, looked up to see Qi Yin, and shouted, "It's not me, it's Qi Yin! He knew it was a demon egg and deliberately sent it to In my father’s room. Mom, didn’t you give that kid some medicine? How did he wake up? He knew it a long time ago, he knew it a long time ago!” Yao Xiaoshan took Liulizi out of his mother’s arms, and took a closer look. He exclaimed, "Sure enough! Mother, this Liulizi is fake. It was a fake made by that kid when he was in school, and he brought it to the school to sell. He used this thing to deceive you!"

Auntie turned around in a daze, and Qi Yin stood there looking at them.The aunt pointed at him and said, "So that's how it is, you white-eyed wolf, you already knew that the elder fairy was coming to our house, and set up such a poisonous plan to kill my whole family! You white-eyed wolf!"

"I do know that you guys are going to replace me." Qi Yin couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was sad or desolate, "But I didn't hurt you, someone told me that the egg is a demon egg, I thought my cousin only had one egg , is the one hidden in my house. When I came home today, the egg was already cracked. I filled it with arsenic and killed the strange bird. The egg is still in my house. Believe it or not Go and see."

My aunt didn't believe it, so she asked Xiaoyuan to go upstairs to have a look. After a while, Xiaoyuan actually came out with a stone egg full of cracks.

The old lady woke up at some point, and asked hoarsely, "Then what's in the box you gave Yuniang?"

The aunt went back to the house and took out the box, and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was a stack of banknotes and a letter.My aunt took out the letter, and there were three large characters written on the envelope: "Farewell Letter".

"Xiao Yin, you want to go?" Auntie asked in a trembling voice.

"Yeah." Qi Yin lowered his eyelashes, he stood alone under the moonlight, a lonely shadow, "My father abandoned his wife and son, I don't mind going to cultivate that fairy, my cousin can go if he wants to. But I don't want to stay here anymore, I know my aunt is going to stun me, so I go back to the house and pick my throat out after eating. Grandma put all the silver bills for me in it, and I didn't take any of them. The room in my house The roof happened to be broken, and I originally wanted to go to the room tonight. I didn’t expect to see a strange bird squatting in the yard as soon as I went to the room.”

He turned his head and caught a glimpse of his uncle's horrific corpse on the ground.He also wanted revenge, so he replaced the bowl of nourishing soup with ingredients, hoping that my aunt would wake up in the middle of the night and find out about uncle's scandal, and make a mess.It's just that I didn't expect it to end up like this.

Everyone was silent, and my aunt collapsed on the ground in a daze.

"One in the front yard, one in the backyard, plus the one that Xiaoyin poisoned with arsenic, Xiaoshan, you hid three demon eggs at home!" The old lady covered her face and cried, "What did you make Evil."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't do it on purpose..." Yao Xiaoshan said with shaking hands, "Also, actually... actually, I bought five..."

Everyone was shocked, Qi Yin asked sharply: "There are two more? Where are you hiding?"

Yao Xiaoshan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pointed at Qi Yin.

Auntie, Xiaoyuan and the old lady all showed terrified expressions and stepped back step by step.Qi Yin's hands and feet felt cold, could it be that the strange bird also drilled into his stomach at some point?But again, the strange bird didn't come out of his mouth, how did Yao Xiaoshan know that the strange bird was in his stomach?

That is……

He turned his head slowly, facing a wet and haggard bird face, the strange bird opened its black beak, as if it wanted to eat people, and howling like a baby overwhelmingly pressed down on Qi Yin Come on, deafening.
