[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Ling rarely shook his head shyly, then laughed and said, "It's nothing, Bell is having a good time with Brother Fox and the others now."

Seeing Ling's appearance, Zizhi's mother remembered something, and said with emotion: "Young people are so kind, I want to be like you when Otsuki Maru is still around, as long as I can be with each other, I feel very happy." Be happy, don't worry about unnecessary things."

bell:"???"

"..." Ah Yuan was speechless for a while, and changed the subject, "Okay, how about we go to the beach?"

"Okay!" Bell's attention was immediately attracted by his words, and he put aside that short-lived question.

Zi Zhi also nodded quickly.

After soliciting opinions, A Yuan turned to Zizhi's mother and said, "Auntie, let's go out to play!"

Then a few children went to the beach by the sea together.

Because they didn't want to meet the villagers, they went to a beach farther away.

It was the first time for Ling to come to the beach. She was already very excited when she saw the sea from a distance. Now that she was on the beach, Ling immediately took off her clogs and ran to a place near the water to chase after the rushing fish. spray.

"It's so salty!" Ling took some seawater in his hands and tasted it, and then his face wrinkled into a ball.

Zi Zhi laughed and said, "Because it's sea water."

A Yuan dug out a bucket and a shovel from the storage bag, and said to them: "Let's use sand to build houses and statues!"

Ling came over immediately, and asked enthusiastically, "What kind of sand do we want to pile up?"

Xiao Hei yelled next to him: "Of course it's my handsome figure, Xiao Hei!"

Although Zizhi lives by the sea, and usually plays with piles of sand, but he entertains himself alone, and he doesn't have as many tools as A Yuan.So seeing that there are playmates together now, I immediately became excited.

"Well, let's pile up little blacks."

So several children started to pile up sand with Xiao Hei as a reference.

Ling picked up the shovel to dig the sand, and after digging a few times, a small crab suddenly crawled out of the hole.After Ling and the crab stared wide-eyed, the expressions on their faces became pleasantly surprised.

"There are crabs!"

The crab who had a bad feeling immediately wanted to slip away sideways, and Ling threw down the shovel and ran to catch up with the crab.

A Yuan, who took a bucket to fetch water and intended to wet the sand so that the sand would pile up easily, saw Ling running past him as soon as he came back.

Then Ah Yuan heard Xiao Hei's "Aw!", turned his head and found a crab pinching Xiao Hei's nose, making Xiao Hei turn around in a hurry.

Ling squatted down and pinched the crab. After successfully catching it, Ling held up the crab and said, "Look! I caught the crab!"

Xiao Hei covered his nose and gasped, "Damn crab!"

Zizhi looked over and said with a smile: "This kind of small crab usually hides under the sand when the tide is not high. If you dig again, you can dig out a lot."

A Yuan also said: "I remember that when the tide is high, they will all crawl out from under the sand. At that time, the whole beach is full of crabs."

Listening to their description, Ling looked forward to: "Can't you just pick it up!"

As he said that, he began to think about whether he could have enough dinner.

Seeing what Ling was thinking, Zizhi laughed and said, "Although there are a lot of these crabs, they don't have much meat, so they won't be enough to eat, but they taste pretty good after a taste."

Hearing that he couldn't get enough to eat, Bell had no interest.

But A Yuan said: "It should be good for frying. I have eaten fried small river crabs before. If they are fried enough, even the shells are so crispy that they can be eaten."

When he said this, both Ling and Zizhi became a little greedy, and then A Yuan took out another empty bucket and asked Ling to throw in the small crabs he caught, and decided to add food tonight.

A few children were laughing and laughing at the beach, playing in the water and chasing down crabs from time to time while piling up sand, and it was dusk before they knew it.

As the tide rose, many small crabs drilled out from under the sand, and there was also a kind of small fish that could bounce.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole beach was covered with crawling little crabs. Bell was stunned to see it, and finally picked up a bucket full, and caught some small fish along the way, and then a few children who played in the sand all returned home with a full load.

……

"Auntie, we're back!"

A Yuan, Ling and the others happily returned to Zizhi's house.

Zizhi's mother heard the noise and came out to open the door, and then saw a few children who had come back from playing at the seaside. look.

Even so, there were smiles on the faces of the children, full of joy.Even her daughter, who is more introverted, now smiles with relief.

"Welcome back, it looks like you guys had a great time today."

Ling raised the bucket in his hand and said, "Auntie, we have caught a lot of small crabs, we can add more food tonight!"

"The bell is really amazing." Zizhi's mother praised, and then looked at the children who were playing dirty, "Your clothes are dirty after playing all day, I'll boil water for you to take a bath first!"

Not long after, A Yuan and the others took turns taking a shower and changing into clean clothes.

A Yuan started to set up a small pot to deal with the bucket of crabs, disliked the lid, took out the crab roe and put them in another bowl, removed the unedible lungs from the rest, and folded them in half.

After processing, put the oil in the hot pan, and then put the crabs down and fry them until they are cooked.

On the side, after Zizhi's mother dried Zizhi's hair, she looked at Ling beside her and said, "Xiaoling, come here and let me wipe your hair for you. If you cover your wet hair, you will catch a cold easily."

Bell was stunned for a moment, then moved closer and sat down.

Zizhi's mother took a dry towel and began to wipe Bell's hair.

Her mother died young, and Ling, who hadn't experienced her mother's care much, felt her gentle movements, her cheeks turned red, and she seemed very embarrassed.

After a while, Zizhi's mother dried her hair and combed her hair again.

"All right."

"Thank you, Auntie." Bell, who had become very lively since she was able to speak again, was quite quiet at the moment.

It didn't take long for A Yuan to fry the crabs. After putting them on the plate, he fried the crab roe that was just divided out, and finally poured them on the rice.

Xiao Hei has been watching eagerly from the side since he started cooking.

"Dinner can be served." A Yuan greeted.

Seeing the steaming food on the table, as well as the white rice topped with orange crab roe, makes people feel very appetizing. In addition, after playing outside for so long, running around on the beach, It is very exhausting, and even as a child, I am already hungry.

"Here we come!" Bell immediately went over and sat down.

"A Yuan must be a very sensible and considerate child at home." Seeing A Yuan prepare the meals so quickly, Zi Zhi's mother said, "You seem to be very skilled in doing housework."

A Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay, I just have a little experience in cooking."

After happily eating dinner, A Yuan and Ling originally planned to stay here for one night, but Zizhi's mother showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Our house is too simple, Ah Yuan, you probably won't sleep well at night here?"

Ling quickly said: "The place where Ling lived alone was also very dilapidated, so I don't mind!"

"It's okay, I didn't think there was anything wrong with staying overnight at your house last time." Then A Yuan asked, "Could something be wrong?"

Zizhi's mother was hesitating whether to tell A Yuan that Oyumaru wanted to take Zizhi back to the task of guarding the lair of the Hundred Ghost Bats, when there was a sudden commotion outside.

It was the screams of the villagers and the laughter of the demons.

Ah Yuan smelled the smell of blood, his eyes turned sharp immediately, and he said to Ling and the others: "You are in the house, I will go out to check the situation."

Immediately, Ah Yuan went outside, only to find that the bat monsters that attacked the village were those bat monsters he had encountered in the sea before. If he remembered correctly, the leader of these bat monsters was Zizhi's grandfather?

A Yuan didn't care too much about the doubts. Seeing a bat monster destroying the roof and trying to capture the villagers inside, A Yuan immediately drew his knife forward and chopped off the monster that was trying to attack the villagers.

Seeing A Yuan, the rescued villagers immediately excitedly said: "Great! Please save us, Mr. Warrior!"

A Yuan ignored him, took out his fan and fanned out a strong wind, and those bat monsters flying in mid-air were immediately thrown out in a ball by the wind.After Ah Yuan killed a few more fish that slipped through the net, the bat monsters didn't dare to stay any longer when they saw that something was wrong.

After the monster left, the villagers hiding in the house came out one after another.

But their faces were gloomy, and many of them cursed: "Damn it! The mother and daughter must have colluded with monsters to bring them here!"

"It's all the woman's fault. When these bats came last time, they wanted to take away the half-demon imp. She insisted on staying. Sure enough, the half-demon is a problem."

"Who knows if she deliberately gave the monster an excuse to attack!"

……

After hearing what they said, A Yuan gradually pursed his mouth into a straight line, and walked back to Zizhi's house without saying a word.

Then A Yuan asked Zizhi's mother who was anxious to go out to the door: "I just heard people in the village say that those bats want to take Zizhi away. What's going on?"

Seeing A Yuan's straightforward question, Zizhi's mother no longer hid it, she lowered her head and said, "Zizhi's grandfather Oyumaru hopes that Zizhi will go back and take over the task of guarding the lair of the hundred ghost bats. The lair of the hundred ghost bats is in the sea." , in order to resist the wind and waves at sea, so the leader of the Hundred Ghost Bats has the ability to arrange powerful barriers. Although Zizhi is a half-demon, she has surpassed her father and grandfather in the ability to arrange barriers. Ever since Oyumaru discovered this Since then, I have always wanted to bring Zizhi back to the Hundred Ghost Bats."

Hearing what she said, Ah Yuan quickly figured it out.

Zizhi has been with her mother since she was a child, not to mention anything else, it is too inhumane for such a young child to leave her mother to live in the monster's lair.

At this time, Zizhi also came out of the room, obviously she also heard the conversation just now.

A Yuan asked her: "You don't want to leave your mother, do you?"

Zizhi nodded, but added: "But grandpa said that if I don't go, he will let the monsters attack the village."

Ah Yuan frowned upon hearing this, but soon relaxed it again, and then said briskly: "If that's the case, let's defeat him!"

"Huh?" Zi Zhi was a little surprised.

A Yuan said firmly: "Beat him and let him get rid of this idea!"
