Ye Huai knew that there were some things that he couldn't tell the two children, but he couldn't completely keep them guessing.

So, he gave a half-true answer——

The silver is the reward he gave to thank him for saving the life of Miss Pei's family.As for the county magistrate, he was looking for him because he knew that he had a reputation for raising people, and he liked his talent and wanted him to work in the county government.

These two things are in some ways true, and he is not lying.It's just saying half and leaving the other half, not telling the whole truth.

A mixture of true and false words is the most deceptive.Even adults can't tell the difference, let alone two children.

Therefore, Ye Huai successfully fooled himself about being "hijacked" by the officials.

Seeing Fang Zeyu proudly said: "I said that the eldest brother can't be what they said. The mouths of those old godmothers are really bad, and they deserve to be gnawed!"

"Old godmother?"

Hearing this name at first glance, Ye Huai was a little unresponsive.

"It's nothing." Fang Zeyu touched his nose resentfully.She remembered that her eldest brother didn't like to hear these vulgar words the most, and she didn't want to be preached.

Just at this time, Aunt Niu came out of the kitchen after cooking the meals, and said, "It's Aunt Zhang and the others who live in the nearby street. Today I saw Mr. Fang being taken away by the officials, so I secretly arranged for Mr. Fang to be an official. A wanted flower picker."

It’s okay not to talk about it, but when it was mentioned, Fang Zeyu’s cheeks bulged with anger, “That group of people are really disgusting. Aunt Niu couldn’t see it and told them not to talk nonsense, they started scolding Aunt Niu. I can’t see it ..."

"Just talk back?" Before the little girl finished speaking, Ye Huai kindly continued the second half of the sentence.

Looking into the eyes of his elder brother, the smug Fang Zeyu suddenly became a little timid.The fluffy little head drooped all of a sudden.

On the side, Fang Zeyu hurried out to smooth things over when he saw this, "Xiaoyu's move is also for the sake of being a hero. Aunt Niu has taken good care of us on weekdays, but she was bullied just because she said a few words of justice. How could that happen?"

"Isn't it?"

Perhaps because of the support of the second brother, Fang Zeyu suddenly gained confidence, "I can't understand that someone as good as Aunt Niu is being said that by them. And...and they also slander the elder brother!"

Seeing Fang Zeyu's angry face like a puffer fish, Ye Huai couldn't help laughing, "I didn't say anything, what are you so excited about?"

Looking at the elder brother who was always smiling kindly in front of him, Fang Zeyu hesitated, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Brother, are you...don't be angry with Xiaoyu anymore?"

Ye Huai was a little confused, "When was I angry with you?"

Hearing that, Fang Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief.The heart that I had been carrying since just now was slowly put back into my stomach.

Fortunately, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.In the past, if she said vulgar words, the eldest brother would definitely preach them.Why today...

"Brother is very happy. Xiaoyu has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and also has the kind heart to dare to 'fight for justice'. Even if those...those old godmothers are so much older than you, you are not afraid."

Hearing this, Fang Zeyu's eyes lit up, "Brother..."

"but."

A sudden turning point made her stop abruptly.Seeing the elder brother's gradually fading smile, Fang Zeyu's heart skipped a beat.

She swallowed and said, "But... what's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Huai frowned and said seriously, "Have you considered one thing before you stand up to speak, in case those people rush up to beat you, or do you harm, what should you do?"

"Then run away."

Seeing Fang Zeyu pursed his lips, he muttered again: "Anyway, it's not like I can't run..."

"What did you say?"

Hearing the elder brother's suddenly raised voice, Fang Zeyu shook his head immediately, and said obediently, "Nothing."

After finishing speaking, the little girl suddenly raised her hand and made an oath to the sky, "Brother, don't worry, Xiaoyu will never do it again!"

Ye Huai didn't know what to do with such a quick and sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes.

Looking at the eccentric little girl in front of him, Master Ye felt for the first time that "it's really tiring to bring a baby".

I hope that the two children will not cause him any trouble in the days to come.

……

I don't know if it's because of Ye Huai's wish, or if God opened his eyes. In the next few days, those two little dolls were surprisingly peaceful.

Not only that, even the long-tongued village women who love to talk loudly at the street corners on weekdays didn't come out to eat melon seeds.

It's not because they're all transgender.It's because in the past few days, people have died one after another in the town.

This time, not only the masters and young masters of those wealthy families, but also the children and women of ordinary families suffered together.

Like the seven people who died before, there was a blood hole in the back of the neck, and all the blood was sucked dry, turning into a dry corpse.

The laws of victimhood are also broken.Now, those ordinary people no longer have the mentality of watching the excitement before.

For a moment, everyone was in danger, and the atmosphere in the town suddenly became tense.

Originally, the government was also afraid of causing unnecessary panic among the people, so they kept concealing the case.Who would have thought that things would become more and more troublesome, and now it has reached the stage where it cannot be concealed.

They had no choice but to put up notices, informing the people of Jiangning County that evil spirits have been haunting and harming people recently, asking the people to be careful, not to act alone, try not to get close to the water, and don't go out in the dark.

After all, the murderer's whereabouts are secretive, his methods are fierce, and he is not picky, so no one knows who will die next.

It is a matter of one's own wealth and life, and the common people are obedient.Now, except for the necessary work, the people of Yongning Town can't go out without going out.I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you will become the latest ration for monsters.

There are some bold ones who don't take the government's words seriously, and go directly to the temple to ask for a safety talisman to take with them, so they should do what they want.

For example, the mean-spirited Aunt Zhang, because of the recent disturbance of monsters in the county, made people panic, and the old sisters who could chat with her on weekdays were afraid to come out, which made her extremely bored.

At first she was also afraid, so she went to the temple to ask for a talisman.But after two days, she also slowed down.

After all, it wasn't her own family who died, and she wouldn't feel pain if the injury wasn't on her body.

The same is true of Aunt Zhang.

Seeing that nothing happened these two days, and with the amulet on her body, as long as she had the golden bell cover and the iron shirt, she no longer worried too much about the monster harming people.

But there is a good saying, when a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck between his teeth.Even with the peace talisman, what should happen will still happen, and even the gods can't stop it.

This afternoon, Aunt Zhang invited a few elder sisters to wash clothes by the river. At the beginning, everyone was a little apprehensive.After all, the government's notice says that the people are not allowed to get close to the water. Doesn't that mean that the monster is probably in the water?Isn't it courting death to go to the water to wash clothes at this time?

But Aunt Zhang said disapprovingly: "If the government says so, you will never wash clothes for the rest of your life?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was at a loss for words.

"The notice only said try not to go, but it didn't say that you must not go. Besides, we have so many people."

"Besides, don't you all have peace talismans on your body? Everyone is blessed by the Bodhisattva. Are you still afraid of this?"

Upon hearing this, those few people hesitated for a while and felt that it was reasonable, so they also agreed.

When I came to the river, Aunt Zhang took the lead in picking the cleanest and most open place, and put a pile of dirty clothes on it, "occupying the mountain as king".

Seeing that there was no good place, a group of people only got the other side to find the empty space, and no one took the initiative to move the place with Aunt Zhang, because everyone knew that this woman was not good at talking, and they didn't bother to argue with her.

Aunt Zhang was very proud when she saw this. At this time, she had completely forgotten the warning of "do not act alone" in the official notice, and she was secretly happy that she acted quickly, otherwise she would not be able to grab such a good place.

When she was proud, she started to wash clothes.

While washing, I started chatting with the old ladies on the other end.While chatting, a person on the opposite side suddenly pointed to the center of the river in the distance and said, "Look, what is swimming over there?"

"Fish, what else is there in the river?" Aunt Zhang said without raising her head.

As soon as the voice fell, the person on the other side said in a trembling voice: "Yes, but the fish...is the fish that big?"

"Why not?" Aunt Zhang raised her head impatiently: "I have seen such a big silver carp in this river before..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a huge black back protruding from the water not far away.

"This... is this a silver carp?"

Looking at the seven-foot-wide flat head and huge round mouthparts in front of her, even Aunt Zhang couldn't tell that it was a silver carp.

There was a sudden scream, and the women could no longer take care of washing clothes, and ran around in fright.

I saw the black leech wriggling its huge body and swam ashore.

Because she was not in the same location as the others, and the direction of escape was not discussed in advance, Aunt Zhang was suddenly left behind by the others.

As soon as the leech spirit came ashore, he caught a glimpse of the lonely figure not far away, was overjoyed, and hurriedly moved forward with his sticky body.

Aunt Zhang was scared out of her wits when she saw it, but even so, she didn't dare to stop.Holding the peace talisman in her hand, she ran forward desperately, for fear that if she slowed down a bit, she would become the monster's meal.

"Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva..."

While running, Aunt Zhang murmured silently in her heart, "I beseech all merciful and compassionate Bodhisattvas to bless me, as long as I can escape this catastrophe, I will do whatever I want!"

I don't know if it's because of the sincerity of her vow, or the safety amulet she asked for in the temple before finally worked. I saw Aunt Zhang accidentally stepped on the empty steps, and then rolled down the hillside with a grunt.

In the end, there was only a "plop" sound——

She fell into a cesspit dug in a nearby village.

Yellow, brown, and sticky liquid splashed from the cesspit, and an unbearable stench swept over her head accompanied by a feeling of nausea.

At this time, Aunt Zhang hadn't reacted from the shock of falling into the cesspit before she caught a glimpse of the leech spirit approaching from the opposite side.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should scream first or vomit first.

However, before Aunt Zhang could take the lead in responding, she heard a sound coming from the opposite side——

"vomit……"

Taking a closer look, she froze for a moment.

I saw that huge leech started to vomit crazily.

Aunt Zhang:? ? ?

She, who fell into the cesspit, hasn't vomited yet, what are you leeching?
