After school in the afternoon, after Chen Ze and Xu Qian had dinner at school, Chen Ze pushed his bicycle and followed Xu Qian to Li Yuan's house.

When they arrived at Li Yuan's house, Li Yuan's mother happened to be off work, and the three met at the door.

The mother was very enthusiastic when she saw them, and while inviting them in, she said to her husband in the house: "Lao Li, we have guests at home, Yuanyuan's teacher and the others are here."

The father obviously knew they were coming early in the morning. Hearing his wife's call, he hurriedly brought out the brewed tea and washed fruits.

The two parties sat down respectively, and briefly greeted each other. Xu Qian obviously cared about her students. Before she could say a few words, she asked about Li Yuan's condition.

Li Yuan's father heard the words and said: "Before, I had a cough and some fever. I went to the town health center and said it was a cold. I brought some medicine to take home. I didn't care too much, but who knew that the medicine was taken. But it didn’t get better all the time, but it became more and more serious. Seeing that the temperature was over 39 degrees, we were frightened. We hurriedly found a car and sent it to the city. Finally, we went to the People’s Hospital for an examination. The doctor said It's pneumonia, so let's go to the hospital quickly. Our family, Yuanyuan, stayed in the hospital for four or five days. The doctor just released her from the hospital today, and we took the child home in the morning. This trip was a toss, and the child is considered It’s an old crime, you said what happened to the doctor in the town’s health center, he couldn’t tell the difference between a cold and pneumonia, and he almost delayed the child.”

Xu Qian didn't answer Li's father's words, but continued to ask: "How is Yuanyuan now? Is she better? Can I see him?"

Li's father heard the words and said: "The film was taken in the hospital yesterday. The doctor said that the inflammation has almost disappeared, and the temperature has also dropped. It is basically considered cured, so we were discharged from the hospital and prescribed a lot of medicines. The medicine, let us come back and continue to take it for a few days. As for Yuanyuan, she is still asleep in the house, mother of the child, you go in and have a look, call Yuanyuan out, and say that her teacher is coming to see She is coming."

Yuanyuan's mother responded, got up and was about to go to the back room, but was stopped by Xu Qian and said: "No need, let the child fall asleep if she wants to sleep, she just needs to rest due to illness, don't disturb her, we are just coming Let's see, we're relieved to know she's fine."

Then she discussed the issue of asking for leave with Li Yuan's parents. Li's father and Li's mother meant that today is already Thursday, and there is another day before the weekend. Their child has just been discharged from the hospital today and is still taking medicine. I want the children to take a break and wait until Monday when they are in class.

Xu Qian has no objection to this. Anyway, school has just started, and the homework is not too heavy, and it is not too short of a day or two. The child's body is the most important thing, and there is no problem in going to school after a rest.

After chatting for a while, just as Chen Ze and Xu Qian were about to get up to say goodbye, the door of the back room opened, and Li Yuan, who was sleeping inside, woke up. She was very excited and happy to see Xu Qian sitting in the living room He ran over and said, "Teacher, you have come to see me. Teacher, how are you all? Teacher, I miss you so much."

Xu Qian comforted the students who saw her getting a little excited, Li Yuan's mother grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her daughter, saying: "I don't know what to put on when I come out, you are just right, what should I do if I catch a cold?" ?”

The adults in the room were all around the child, and Chen Ze wanted to ask a few questions at first, but just as he approached, he smelled a strong smell of earth and coal ash, like a person entering the room. That smell of dust in a house that hasn't been cleaned in a long time.

Chen Ze frowned slightly. He had been sitting here for a long time, but he didn't smell this smell. Obviously, this smell came with Li Yuan.

He then sized up Li Yuan, and saw that although she was wearing pajamas for home use, she looked like she had been washed, but it was very clean, not a single stain could be seen, and naturally there would be no dust, and the reactions of the people next to her were normal, obviously Did not find this smell.

Could it be that only he can smell this smell?

Chen Ze's heart sank when he thought of this. He has always known that his physique is unique. If there is something that only he can detect, it must be impossible to equate it with ordinary words. From this point of view, the girl in front of me The illness of student Yuantong didn't seem to be that simple.

So Chen Ze began to consciously guide the topic of conversation with Yuanyuan, hoping to find some clues from their words, but unfortunately, this classmate Yuanyuan devoted herself to studying, and spent the whole summer vacation in tutoring During the time spent in class, he never left home at all, and the illness he just had was also caused by the heat and coldness, so Chen Ze couldn't find anything abnormal at all.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was really late, Chen Ze and the others got up to leave. Yuanyuan sent them out, and at the same time asked Xu Qian to send a message to her good friend, saying that she would go back next week .

It was already dark outside the house, Chen Ze estimated that it would be almost ten o'clock now, they did not send Li Yuan and her family away, Chen Ze and Xu Qian waved goodbye to the family.

The small roads in the town without street lights are very dark. Even the big round moon in the sky can't change this. Chen Ze pushed the bicycle with one hand, took out his mobile phone with the other, and used the little light on the screen to illuminate himself and his family. Xu Qian showed the way.

Because the road was too dark, the two of them concentrated most of their attention on the bottom of their feet, afraid that they would accidentally step on the ground or get stuck there, so that neither of them noticed that behind them, The shadows of the two people illuminated by the moonlight were slowly squirming.

The shadow was like a living liquid at first, with water ripples, following the two people walking, and then the shadows of the two people gradually united and entangled together, and finally merged into a pool of dark mud-like things.

The thing has been wriggling quietly behind them, several times it stuck out its tentacles that were still falling out and wanted to touch the person in front, but after hesitating for a long time, it finally retracted those tentacles Yes, it seems to be afraid of something.

Xu Qian's home was not too far from Li Yuan's home, and she arrived home soon. Chen Ze watched her go upstairs from downstairs, and he pushed the car away when he saw the light in her bedroom was on.

There was a pause for a moment after the two separated, then they abandoned Xu Qian who had already gone upstairs without hesitation, and left behind Chen Ze.

Chen Ze, who was walking in front, seemed to feel something, and looked back several times, but he didn't see anything, but after he turned around, he turned into a shadow of mud and continued to follow him.

Followed all the way to the entrance of the alley of Chen Ze's house, seeing that there would be no chance if he didn't make a move, the muddy mud seemed to be in a hurry, it straightened up its body lying on the ground, and it rose to a height of more than two meters, and walked towards Chen who was walking in front. Ze rolled over.

When the puddle of mud was about to touch Chen Ze, suddenly a golden light flashed in the trouser pocket behind Chen Ze, and he pushed back the puddle of mud that was about to stick to it, and at this moment, Chen Ze felt a chill on his back. , and then the peach beads he put in his trouser pocket began to heat up, and he heard the sound of crackling and cracking in his ears.

He instinctively felt bad, threw away his bicycle and ran quickly towards the house, and the puddle of mud became even more annoyed after being pushed away, and he didn't pretend anymore, chasing behind Chen Ze with his body.

At this moment, the red cloth covering the shrine of Chen Ze's family suddenly lifted without any wind, revealing the sacred tablet inside, and the tablet quickly rose into the air. The gold on it shone brightly and condensed together, forming a beam of cold light , and flew out in an arc.

Guang quickly passed over Chen Ze, and directly hit the puddle of mud behind him, splitting the puddle of mud in two like a sharp knife wiping tofu.

A mournful howling sounded in Chen Ze's head, letting him know that even though the sound was not heard by his ears, he still couldn't help covering his ears with his hands, and ran towards home at a faster speed with his head in his arms.

The door of the Chen family opened silently, welcoming the return of its owner. After seeing Chen Ze enter the courtyard, the amulet shone again, and wanted to smash the mud completely, but the mud was also cunning and abandoned half of it. The body attracted the attack of the god card, and the other half quickly melted into the shadow in the corner and escaped.

Seeing that there was no target for the divine card, it withdrew its radiance and slowly fell, and returned to the shrine.

In the courtyard, Chen Ze was still in shock. Seeing that the divine tablet had returned to its original position, he waited for a while, and then said, "Shi Gong, what was that just now?"

Shi Gong whispered in his ear: "It's just a monster, my lord don't need to panic."

Hearing this, Chen Ze felt a little relieved, and while taking out his pockets, he said, "Thanks to the peach beads bestowed by Mr. Shi, I am safe and sound."

While talking, he took out the wooden bead in his pocket, but saw that the bead had dried up and cracked, and it had melted into several parts in Chen Ze's palm, and it was directly broken into pieces.

Chen Ze lowered his head and was dumbfounded when he saw the cracked beads. He broke the thing Shigong gave him.

Just when he raised his head to apologize, a gust of wind blew across his palm, and the shattered peach beads disappeared immediately. Shi Gong whispered in his ear: "It's okay, I'm giving you something better."

Hearing this, Chen Ze withdrew his outstretched hand, then walked to the side of the gate, stretched out his head, looked outside carefully and said, "Did that thing go?"

Shi Gong heard the words and said: "I hurt the body, and I have already escaped."

Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then can I go out and push my bicycle back now? I have to use it to go to work tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gong paused and said, "Yes."

After getting an affirmative answer, Chen Ze dared to walk out of the gate, went to the alley and pushed his bicycle back home.
