Master is respected

Chapter 20 The Cause

Jiang Yuehan acted with discretion, but only made the man faint temporarily, and would not kill him.Without any hindrance from the man, everyone entered his house smoothly.The moonlight passed by the window, someone lit the oil lamp in the house, the big fire light gradually dispersed, the hazy light dispelled the darkness in the house, and the children hiding in the house also appeared.

He sat in the corner with his knees in his arms, and when he saw a group of people pouring into the room, he shrank back to the corner in fear.Fear and fear were written on the round face, which was far from what Xie Junzhuo saw just now.The village head is a warm-hearted person, seeing that his parents can't count on him, he took old steps to pick him up and comfort him.

The house is not big, and the space becomes even smaller after everyone enters, like a small bowl filled with river sand, without any gaps.Tian Meng felt that it was inappropriate, and asked everyone to leave some people outside and open the door of the house, so that they could hear the conversation inside.

Liniang was so impressed by what happened to her that the fear in her heart hadn't dissipated. No matter what Jiang Yuehan asked her, she just shook her head and kept wiping away her tears.Liniang's timidity brought the situation to a stalemate, and Jiang Yuehan couldn't force her, so he could only let her calm down first, and let a few familiar village women comfort her.

Xie Junzhuo walked around the room, looking carefully at this simple house.The bed cabinets were placed side by side, and an empty bowl was placed on the small wooden bench, with some medicinal residues left in it.

Xie Junzhuo picked up the bowl, dipped a little medicine dregs on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. There was a faint fragrance in it, similar to drugs.Xie Junzhuo is no stranger to this taste, it is the Peanut Rock that Sawtooth Rat loves most.

Xie Junzhuo noticed the surrounding environment when they walked all the way today, and there was no soil suitable for the growth of peanut rock.Sawrats also don't live close to Peanut Rock, to avoid overeating and depression of the whole group.

The peanut rock that shouldn't have appeared was actually in the leftover medicine dregs from the woman's drink. I don't know if it was brought by the sawtooth rat, or it was originally in this house.

Xie Junzhuo put down the medicine bowl to check other places, when the clouds moved and a beam of moonlight fell on the bedside.The dim light of the oil lamp was not enough to illuminate the darkest place at the outermost edge, but the moonlight made it reveal a shadow.It was a small package, and the packer's hand was unfamiliar, and the edges and corners were scattered.

Xie Junzhuo stared at the thing a few more times, and instinctively told her that there was something wrong with it.She bent down to take out the package. It wasn't much, she could hold it with one hand, but it was heavy, like a rock.

"Don't grab my things, get the hell out of here."

The child who was led by the village chief came to Xie Junzhuo at some point. When Xie Junzhuo was about to check the contents of the package, he stretched out his hand and pushed her down heavily, kicked her a few times, and snatched the small package Just wanted to run out the door.It's a pity that the room was full of people, and he couldn't get out even if he was as slippery as a loach. Instead, he alarmed the other people in the room.

Wei Yu was suffocating because he was woken up in the middle of the night, and when he saw the child rushing towards him, he reached out and grabbed his back collar and lifted him up.A cultivator can carry a tripod with strength, and a child is like a chicken in Wei Yu's hands, even with teeth and claws, he can't shake half of his fingers.

Wei Yu was complacent, and looked at Xie Junzhuo with hypocrisy and concern: "Junior sister Xie, are you okay?"

Xie Junzhuo was not on guard just now, and was knocked down on the bed by the child. Now he was patting his clothes and standing up, and responded to Wei Yu's words with an emotionless smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother Wei, for your concern, I'm fine."

Wei Yu carried the child, clicked his tongue and said: "Junior Sister Xie is delicate and soft, you have to practice hard when you go back, lest you can't even bring down a child..."

Before Wei Yu finished speaking, the child in his hand burst into tears.This cry was simply earth-shattering, and the howling ghosts retreated.Liniang, who was sitting by the side, suddenly became agitated, and rushed to Wei Yu's side, scratching and scratching at him, yelling for him to put his child down.

Wei Yu held the child in one hand, and could not resist Liniang's sarcasm with the other hand. His face was scratched several times, and he had to throw the child into Liniang's arms and hide behind other disciples.

Liniang knelt down on her knees, hugged the child in her arms, and asked eagerly if he was injured.But the child pushed her away and yelled viciously: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't recruited these people, they wouldn't have found my baby. You lie on the bed every day and do nothing, and you have to use a lot of money." My father won’t buy me tiger-toed shoes anymore.”

There were no tears on the child's face, but disgust and hatred.He tightly grabbed the package in his hand, full of hostility towards the people around him.In his eyes, his mother's life is not as good as a pair of tiger-toed cloth shoes.

Xie Junzhuo had already walked to Jiang Yuehan's side, watching the farce with cold eyes.

Liniang sat paralyzed on the ground, forgetting even what happened to her. She looked at the child she was pregnant with in October, and couldn't believe that such words would come out of his mouth.In just half a month, this once envied home has been torn apart.

Li Niang's lips trembled slightly, and her fingers trembled.She looked at her child for a while, her eyes were dead silent, and she murmured: "Is it best if I die?"

The child didn't speak, but just stared at her fiercely, with strange eyes, as if looking at an enemy.Such eyes deeply hurt Liniang's heart, her expression became numb, and she stared blankly at the ground.

The surrounding villagers shook their heads. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they don't like to talk about other people's housework.

Xie Junzhuo quietly pulled La Tianmeng's sleeve, gave him a look, and asked him to snatch the package from the child.

Tian Meng understood, and took a step forward to forcefully take the package from the child. The child wanted to come and grab it, but Tian Meng flicked the sleeve of his sleeve, and brushed the child to Liniang's side.Seeing that his baby could not be snatched back, the child began to cry again, lying down on the ground and behaving badly.

His voice was high and sharp, which was even worse than the sonic attack of the sawtooth rat. Wei Yu cursed angrily: "Shut up, I'll throw you out if you're crying."

Wei Yu made a nasty sound, the child was startled for a moment, stopped crying and looked at Wei Yu.Liniang also recovered from the numbness, hugged the child into her arms, and cried, "No, please, don't throw him out. If everything can be solved after I die, then you will leave me alone." Send it out. I am willing to die for my child."

Liniang caressed her child's face, her eyes were as red as a rabbit, and tears kept flowing.Even if the child broke her heart, she was reluctant to let him be hurt, and would stand in front of him at any time.

Xie Junzhuo's face darkened slightly. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and held back.

Tian Meng opened the small package in his hand, and with the help of the weak light, everyone could clearly see the contents inside.

"This is...peanuts?" The village chief was a little surprised. They can understand that children occasionally get greedy, and they don't think it's a big deal.

Tian Meng picked up one and looked at it, and said, "This is not a peanut, this is a peanut rock, a special kind of rock, and the sawtooth rats will eat it. But I checked it this afternoon, and there is no such kind of rock nearby." Stones. Madam, do you know where your boy got these peanut rocks."

Tian Meng's voice was mellow and sounded reliable.

Liniang brushed her messy hair from her temples, looked at the stone that Tian Meng handed in front of her, and had a vague impression of it.It seems that her child picked it up from outside, but because there are many strange-shaped pebbles nearby, the family didn't take it seriously.

Knowing that sawtooth rats feed on such things, Liniang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked: "My child definitely didn't do it on purpose, he took it back just because it looked good. Let's return this thing to those rats. Can we let our family go?"

"I'm afraid things are not that simple." Xie Junzhuo looked at the little boy who was staring at Peanut Rock with a malicious expression on his face: "I'd better persuade your child, let him tell us the origin of Peanut Rock, let us understand the cause and effect, and then we can solve this problem thing."

The little boy dodged his eyes and shrank into Liniang's arms.This move touched Liniang's sensitive nerves, and she immediately hugged him tightly, saying: "What is the cause and effect? ​​Can't you kill them all? They are just a group of beasts, and they have harmed people. You are except Demon master, you should eliminate harm for us."

When it comes to children, Liniang, who is eager to love her son, begins to be a little bit indifferent.

Jiang Yuehan raised his eyes, looked at the mother and child and said, "Everything has a cause and effect, and everything should not be killed in vain. We monks pay attention to the law of reincarnation. If everything is caused by the child in your arms, even if we destroy it today according to your words A swarm of sawtooth rats, and the resulting bad karma will also return to the karma maker."

"What do you mean?" Liniang looked up, seeing that the speaker was just a yellow-haired girl, she immediately raised her voice and said, "You want to say that we killed those rats, so they came to take revenge on our family? Didn't they just pick up a few?" There are so many stones on the mountains and rivers, I just give them back. But what about them? They killed my cow and my father-in-law, and they still want to kill me today. In your eyes, is human life not as good as those beasts?"

The indignation Liniang said made her even more sad when she thought of her father-in-law who had died in vain. Several villagers were touched by her and murmured in low voices why the invited celestial beings were instead speaking for the sawtooth rat.

Xie Junzhuo frowned. She didn't want to get too involved in this matter, but she bullied Jiang Yuehan, which was a way to force her to do something dishonorable.

Xie Junzhuo took a step forward, using his thin body to stand in front of Jiang Yuehan, staring straight at the little boy in Liniang's arms, the corner of his mouth raised into a smile, and his voice softened: "Little brother, you Can you tell me where you got it from?"

The little boy looked up at Xie Junzhuo, a flash of disdain flashed in his black pupils, he snorted and didn't want to talk to Xie Junzhuo, but suddenly he couldn't look away.

Xie Junzhuo's eyes reflected his figure, he looked at that short self, and the sleeping memory revived in his mind, it was a sea of ​​fire, burning blazingly in the forest, filled with green smoke.

Even monks cannot avoid the methods used by monsters to confuse people, let alone deal with a small one.Xie Junzhuo only used a little spiritual power, and the little boy sank into it completely.

Xie Junzhuo was smiling, but his eyes were as deep as a pool.In the eyes of others, she is trying to seduce the little boy, but they don't know that she is directly peeping into his heart.

The little boy's eyes were dull, and he blurted out: "Good burning, good burning, who told them not to give me the treasure. It's mine if I saw it first. Burn them to death and see how they can snatch me."

The little boy looked ferocious, and suddenly yelled and rushed towards Xie Junzhuo.Xie Junzhuo withdrew his bewitching power, pretending to be scared and took a step back.Tian Meng put his hand on the little boy's head and fixed him in place.

Liniang hurried forward to snatch him into her arms. She was indifferent to what the little boy said, but instead complained that Tian Meng's attack was not serious.

Xie Junzhuo sneered twice, and said: "You don't raise your child when you are born, and you don't teach him when you raise him. You only know how to pamper him blindly, so that he has no awe of everything. What happened today is all because he burned the sawtooth mouse. rise."

"He's just a child, how could he beat those mice? You must have cast a spell to favor those mice." Liniang yelled out of control, and the eyes of the villagers gradually changed, whispering to each other.

They had no grievances with the Sawtooth Rat. Suddenly these strange things happened, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

Xie Junzhuo did not deny that he had tampered with it, but it was just to make the little boy tell the truth.Seeing Liniang messing around, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, and felt that this family was disgusting.

Of course, the little boy couldn't compete with those adult and cultivated sawtooth rats. The ones he burned to death were all newborn cubs.Every time the sawtooth mouse moves to a place, it will start to reproduce and continue the bloodline.

They saw new hope, but because of a few stones, they were burned to ashes by humans.
