Chapter 152 Nightmare (1)
After the four of them paid the room fee, they entered the inn courtyard. They saw that there was not a courtyard inside, only houses on the left and right front three sides. After careful counting, there were indeed thirty-eight rooms on the two floors.
According to the room number given by the store, Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing lived in two of the houses in front of the houses, and Zhu Yuanliang and Xiaoshu lived in two of the houses on the right, both of which were cubicles.
After the four of them entered the room and placed their luggage, Pu Zixuan called the other three to his room and began to discuss the next step.
Pu Zixuan said to everyone: "We come to Zhejiang for three purposes: one is to find my father, the second is to find my ancestors for Xiaoshu, and the third is to assist Su Sanniang in transferring Hong Tianguifu. The three tasks are all unrelated. Along the way, we always talk about how to do it in Zhejiang. Now that we have entered Zhejiang, it is impossible to live in Changhua for too long. We need to consider the next plan. Let me talk about it first, Xiaojiu, have you found out where my father is in?"
Chen Shuqing said: "Let's say that, the population of our country is 400 million. According to the one purifying envoy born out of a million people, there are about 400 purifying envoys in the country. Except for the sparsely populated areas in the border areas, there are about 10 to 50 purifying envoys in a province. As long as it is not hidden, most of them can be found. Like Zhejiang, I can find more than 30 people in various cities, among which three purifying envoys gather in Changshan County, Quzhou Prefecture. Although I am not familiar with Lingzun's companion aura, in terms of the number, it corresponds to the number of people Zhu Yuanliang said. If nothing unexpected happens, Lingzun will be in Changshan. This also shows that although Lingzun's company invented many magic weapons to eliminate demons, it is still unable to hide the power of purification."
Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "Changshan? The store mentioned this place name just now when talking about the plague. It doesn't seem too far from this place, and there is only a Yanzhou Prefecture in the middle. Such a small tree, where is your ancestor?"
Xiaoshu replied: "I was not born in Zhejiang, so the rumors about my ancestors were heard from my father. My father said that my grandmother had passed away after being demonized, but I also had an aunt, my father's sister, and a half-demon. She used to live in Jinhua Mansion. As for whether she is still there, it is unknown. Jinhua Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion border. If everyone is willing to accompany me, even if I can't find my aunt, I will give up."
Hearing this, Pu Zixuan frowned: "Jinhua? The rumor that the shop just said about the banshee was mainly in Jinhua, this..."
Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Brother Pu, and everyone, don't worry. My grandma has passed away long ago. As for my aunt, she married humans more than a hundred years ago and became a good wife and mother. Like my father, she is a good monster. There are so many monsters in the world, so it won't be so coincidental. In the legend, the banshee, not to mention whether it really exists, even if it is, it must be another monster."
Chen Shuqing then joked, "That's right, I remember that on the day I first met your Brother Pu, two banshees appeared in his mansion at the same time. One was very bad, but I, the nine-tailed fox demon, was so kind. I didn't expect that Brother Pu would be so good or bad. When I saw me, I knocked me out with a pan without saying anything. If I hadn't saved him later, his heart would have become the thing in the belly of the white-haired banshee."
Zhu Yuanliang also echoed: "That's right, at that time, our constables were also ambushing around his Happy Mansion and ready to support him at any time. As a result, this guy met the beauty and forgot us! It was Lantern Festival, and we were so cold outside..."
Seeing that the two of them were not open to the pot, Pu Zixuan was unable to refute it, and smiled awkwardly, "Hahaha, let's talk about the matter between you two in the future. Since that's the case, Xiaoshu's aunt must be a good monster. Jinhua Mansion is closer, so you can go to Xiaoshu's wish first." Then he asked Chen Shuqing, "So, where is Su Sanniang?"
Chen Shuqing said: "I have already sent a message to her this morning. She disguised herself as a man, her pseudonym Feng Yuliang, and was fighting the Qing army desperately in Tianjing. She said that Tianjing is expected to last ten days to half a month. If the city is broken, it will evacuate from Huzhou Prefecture, the northernmost part of Zhejiang. If there are no monsters in the enemy army, she will not need our help and directly escort Hong Tianguifu to Jiangxi. If there are monsters to help, she hopes we can help. When we learn that we have arrived in Changhua, we also beg us to stay for a while."
Pu Zixuan sighed and nodded, "I have never had the opportunity to learn the meaning and spread the word. I would like to ask Xiao Jiuduo to contact me on the side of Su Sanniang. She is our companion. I hope she will come back alive!"
Chen Shuqing agreed and asked in reverse: "It is my business to explore the purifying messenger, so can you explore whether there is a powerful demonic energy in Zhejiang? According to Ling Zun's approach of mobilizing troops, they must have to deal with an opponent with a strength that is no less than Qin Yong."
Pu Zixuan's face suddenly looked puzzled: "You said, of course I have tried it. Although I am not able to detect demonic energy as far as the north, if there is a strong demonic energy in Zhejiang, I believe it should be fine. But here is the blame. What I can detect in Zhejiang are all small demons in the mountain or medium-sized demonic energy. Even in Jinhua Prefecture and Changshan County, there are no super-strong monsters. I think, the most powerful monster in Zhejiang is still you Xiaojiu. There are no monsters that have to face in Zhejiang without any fragments of "Huanyue Jue" in Zhejiang. Such an ordinary province should not have appeared in our journey, but there are so many more tricks. So calm and mysterious, which makes me feel uneasy."
Chen Shuqing replied: "Yes, I also find it strange, as if a hand was leading us to Zhejiang. Anyway, we should not fight fearlessly. After all, we should leave here and go to Gansu immediately."
Zhu Yuanliang said: "I agree. I just don't want this guy to face his father anyway. If I go to Changshan and can take a look at Uncle Pu from a distance, I will forget my wish, right?"
Pu Zixuan was immediately unwilling to accept it, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he sighed silently and nodded.
The three of them were still chatting in the east and west. Suddenly, a "dong" sound came from the door, followed by a cry of a child.
"Oh, isn't this the boss's child?" Chen Shuqing saw a dark child fall accidentally while climbing the threshold and fall to her head. She immediately had a maternal instinct and rushed over with heartache. She picked up the child, held it in her wrist, rubbed his head, and looked into the yard.
Seeing that no one was taking care of him and the child cried constantly, Chen Shuqing realized that it was two parents who were careless and let their children crawl in the yard at will. He coaxed the child while complaining: "These people don't know how they are parents, how can they take care of their children like this? Oh, don't cry or cry, be good..."
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing have known each other for nearly half a year, but this is the first time I saw her treating children like this. I couldn't help but feel warm. I imagined how happy it would be if my beloved Xiaojiu could become a human being and raise two or three children with her, no matter where she was, and she would enjoy the joy of family. Unconsciously, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
So, Pu Zixuan couldn't help but take out a piece of candy cube from his luggage and walked to Chen Shuqing, coaxing him, "Good, don't cry, uncle feed you candy." While sending the candy cube to the child's mouth.
Chen Shuqing immediately turned to the side and scolded, "Hey, will you take care of the child? Such a young child has not even grown all his teeth. If you feed him sweets, your teeth will become bad in the future!"
Pu Zixuan felt that Chen Shuqing was a good wife and mother, and she felt warm in her heart, but she defended her mouth: "Oh, I have to come up with this bad plan when I see him crying all the time? In this chaotic years, there are not many times when a person can be sweet in his life. Just give him one piece, just one piece."
"Okay, just one piece." Chen Shuqing was also helpless and asked Pu Zixuan to hand the candy cube into the mouth of the child.
Suddenly, the child seemed to have received some instructions. While holding the candy cube, he actually bit Pu Zixuan's right index finger with his baby teeth!
"Ah--he bites me!" Pu Zixuan instinctively pulled his hand back, but was bitten so deeply that he couldn't pull it out. The more he pulled it, the more painful it became. He pressed the child's mouth with his left hand and struggled hard before he could barely pull out his right hand, but his index finger had been bitten and a stream of blood flowed out!
The child also stopped crying and glared at Pu Zixuan, revealing a "giggle" laugh.
Sweat oozed from Pu Zixuan's forehead and said angrily: "This child is so chewing hard. It seems that he is not a joke at all. He seems to want to bite me to death! If the store owner hadn't been there, I... I really want to slap him twice!"
Chen Shuqing said, "Children are short of food these days, so they must be hungry, right? And what's your wound? Wouldn't it be cured in a while? A twenty-year-old man is angry with such a young child, so he is really disgraceful!"
"It's not you who bites you. Of course you don't know how painful it was just now!" Pu Zixuan angrily said, "Anyway, I don't like this little thing!"
"Tsk, you want you to like it!" Chen Shuqing suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, no, this child seems to be peeing on me!"
Pu Zixuan immediately mocked, "Haha, is the retribution coming?"
Chen Shuqing raised the child and found that there was no diaper under his crotch, and a stream of urine had already wet his clothes. When he saw the little thing on his lower body, he exclaimed: "Hehe, he's still a boy, I like it even more!"
Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, the fox demon, are as boys as we humans? I don't like boys. I'm very rebellious when I grow up, and I can't get along well with my father. It's better for a girl, and I'm as caring as a little cotton jacket."
"Tsk, do you think every boy has the same conditions as you do?" Chen Shuqing teased and returned to the topic of urine. "Although I can create a diaper for him, once the parents find it is a magic trick, it is a troublesome thing. Let's ask his parents to come."
After saying that, Chen Shuqing shouted at the counter of the inn: "Shop! Shop! Come and see your children!"
Soon, a woman rushed to hear the sound and couldn't help but apologize: "Oh, this little thing, I don't care about it, so I crawled around everywhere, which made the girl's clothes dirty. Please take off the clothes and hand them over to us, and we will clean them for you."
Chen Shuqing handed the child to the woman, thinking that although the magic trick could destroy urine, it would be better to cooperate with it. So she took off her wet breasts and handed them to the woman, and smiled comfortably and said, "The clothes are small, but if the child is injured, it will be troublesome. You parents, how much you need to take a little attention."
While responding to "yes, yes," the woman left with her children and her baby.
After that, the four of them did not have much important communication. After dinner, they each entered their rooms and waited for night to fall, and then went to bed to rest.
Chapter completed!
