The little boy came as promised, and deliberately threw Cuju to him as expected. Seeing that everything was developing according to the plan, a hint of undetectable sneer appeared on his face, and then he turned around and faced the boy.

Although I had only seen the boy before, I had already remembered the boy's disheveled image. Seeing that the ball thrower was the same person twice, Pu Zixuan was even more sure that he was the target, so he deliberately pretended to look for the source of the sound. When his eyes swept to the carriage, Su Sanniang winked at the window.

At this time, the little boy was still a distance from Pu Zixuan, and the distance from the carriage was even farther away. If he walked over and grabbed the boy and ran towards the carriage, it would inevitably attract the attention of passers-by on the street. Su Sanniang understood it in an instant, walked out of the carriage, jumped onto the horse, and pretended to be a normal road and walked slowly towards the child's location.

Seeing that the carriage had already started to move, Pu Zixuan called to the little boy to delay time: "Hey, why is it you, the child again? It's the second time today."

The little boy obviously didn't realize that Pu Zixuan was using a trick, and looked a little uneasy and said hurriedly: "I'm so sorry, it turns out that it's brother, I'll help you this time. I'll pay attention next time."

Seeing that the carriage was getting closer to the little boy, Pu Zixuan picked up Cuju, walked towards the little boy, pretending to be caring and said, "It's okay, I like Cuju very much, why don't you, brother, play with you?"

Just as Pu Zixuan walked to the little boy, Su Sanniang had already arrived at the two of them in a carriage, not a step earlier or a step later. Just as Pu Zixuan approached the little boy, he hugged him with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, and instantly flew into the carriage.

Afterwards, Su Sanniang also returned to the carriage without attracting the attention of passers-by, and the Cuju landed on the ground.

Pu Zixuan immediately changed his face to the curtain of the car, saying, "But you caught you, the monster. Open your eyes and take a look. Do you recognize all the three of us?"

The child was covered with his mouth and his eyes were wide open due to fear. He looked at the three of them, and he seemed even more frightened and helpless.

Pu Zixuan threatened, "Don't shout, otherwise I will tear you!" and let go of the child's mouth.

The little boy finally had room to breathe and gasped, "What monster? I'm not a monster... I don't know anything!"

"Hmph, still want to argue? Let's take a good look at my purifying power!" After Pu Zixuan said that, he was surrounded by blue light and summoned the Dragon King of the Galaxy.

According to common sense, when the Star River Dragon King appears, the head height of its spiritual unicorn will be higher than that of Pu Zixuan's head. Anyone who can see the spirit will instinctively look up. Unexpectedly, the boy was completely indifferent to the Star River Dragon King, and still stared at Pu Zixuan in dismay and said, "It's not me, it's not me! I can't understand anything you said!"

Su Sanniang wondered: "Strange, this child seems to be unable to see your spirit. Is he a mortal? Let me take a look."

After saying that, Su Sanniang reached out to move the boy's face to her side. With the low light coming through the gap between the door curtains and the curtains, she looked carefully and frowned and said, "No, this boy is not the same person as the one I saw in the military camp last night."

Zhu Yuanliang wondered: "Can they really be ordinary children, but they are just being used by others?"

The little boy nodded at Zhu Yuanliang and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I really don't know anything. There was only an uncle who gave me that Cuju, and told me to find a way to meet this brother. After the matter was done, I would give me a penny as a reward. I thought that it would be so simple that I could earn a penny and have a full meal, so I agreed. However, in the morning I made a mistake and got the ball on you. Without completing the task, I went to plead with the uncle to see if I could give me a penny. The uncle asked me to wait a little longer, saying that you might come back to the city and I must give me money after completing the task."

Su Sanniang said: "So that's it. This child was indeed used. And so, our camping site last night was not far from a village. I think it was probably the monster who also spent money to hire another boy in that village to earn my life."

Pu Zixuan asked the little boy again: "So, who is the person you are talking about? Where is now?"

The little boy replied: "I don't know him, and I have never met him in Huzhou City before. However, I remember his appearance, looking like he was thirty or forty years old, big and thick. He said that he was drinking tea on the second floor of Junfeng Teahouse over there. When I completed the task, he went to him to receive the reward."

When the boy told the enemy's appearance and location, the three of them felt a little relieved. Pu Zixuan sternly said: "Now you will take us to find him."

The little boy hesitated, "I dare not... the uncle said that he must not disclose his identity. I don't know who is the good person and who is the bad person. How do I know who should help?"

Seeing that the little boy was threatened by the three of them, Pu Zixuan did not lose his integrity, so he smiled indifferently, let him go completely, let him sit in the seat, and asked kindly: "So, do you know how much trouble that Cuju has caused us?"

The little boy asked back, "I just don't understand how much trouble a small Cuju can bring? Why is it worth your nervousness?"

"I really don't want to tell you the truth, I'm afraid it will scare you, but if you don't tell you the truth, you won't know what you did." Pu Zixuan thought that he had already touched Cuju just now, and his body should have begun to become transparent. So he opened the curtain of the car, rolled up his trouser legs, and showed, "That uncle is the bad guy. To be more precise, he is a monster. The Cuju has its demonic power. Whoever touches the body will be stolen from his shadow. Moreover, his body will become transparent from the feet. Now, you should see clearly, right?"

With the light shot into the car, the little boy lowered his head and saw his shadow clearly, but there was no shadow behind the three of them. Even Pu Zixuan's ankle area had begun to become transparent.

The little boy exclaimed: "How could this happen? But, but I also encountered Cuju, would I do it too..."

Su Sanniang comforted, "Don't be afraid of children, the target of monsters is not you. If you do things for him, he will naturally not let you be frightened, so you have already been excluded from the power of demons. However, if you do not help us lift this curse, and when the three of us die, you will be the indirect murderer. Can you feel at ease in your life?"

The little boy said with a backbone: "No, I don't want to kill people. Although I occasionally do some thieves, it's all forced by life. I will never do anything like killing people!"

Pu Zixuan sighed and said, "What's your name?"

"Zhou Laoer."

"I'm not talking about rankings, I'm talking about names."

The little boy replied: "Zhou Lao Er, it's my name. My parents gave birth to nine children in total. Except for my elder brother who had a name, I was too lazy to afford it later, so I went from the second to the ninth. They said that anyway, if one more child, one more person would beg for food. The name or something is not important."

Zhu Yuanliang sighed: "Your baby is so big that he has seven younger brothers and sisters. I'm afraid your parents have to give birth to one every year, right?"

Zhou Laoer replied: "It's almost the same. After giving birth to Zhou Laojiu, my mother passed away. Among the nine of us, Lao Liu and Lao Ba also died. Dad sent the young Lao Qi and Lao Jiu to beg for food with our five living children. You said, if someone gave me a penny, how could I not earn? But if I had known that man was a monster, I wouldn't have earned this bloody money no matter what I said!"

Pu Zixuan looked at the pitiful and respectable child in front of him, and said with mixed feelings: "Don't be too sad, at least the three of us are still safe for the time being. As long as we get rid of the monster, everything will be restored to its original state. How about it? Now, are you willing to take us to find him?"

Seeing that the three of them were fully capable of forcing themselves to lead the way, but they had a reasonable conversation with him. For a moment, they felt the respectful intention that they had never felt in their lives. They nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to find him now. I won't make this money!"

Pu Zixuan smiled with relief and said, "Although you can't make that penny, you will make more money." After saying that, he took out a ingot of silver from his arms and said, "This is for you. At that time, you will let your father and brothers and sisters have a full meal. If you have the rest, rent a house and have a good life for a few days."

Zhou Laoer couldn't believe his eyes, took the silver and immediately knelt down and said, "Brother, thank you so much. I really met a great Bodhisattva today!"

If it were normal times, Su Sanniang would have been sarcastic when she saw Pu Zixuan’s money-making move, she would definitely be sarcastic, but now she responded with a knowing smile to her.

Without further ado, the three of them carried Zhou Laoer under his guidance. Soon after, they arrived at the downstairs of Junfeng Teahouse.

Pu Zixuan leaned out of the car window and looked at it. This teahouse is a two-story layout. The first floor is a restaurant and the second floor is a spacious teahouse. There are currently no one eating on the first floor, but there are many people sitting on the second floor for a table. However, when you look downstairs, you can't see the full view of the second floor.

Zhou Laoer got off the carriage and looked up and said, "No, I can't see that person from here."

"Okay, wait, let's discuss it." Pu Zixuan turned to Su Sanniang, and Zhu Yuanliang said, "What should I do? I can't see that person from downstairs. Otherwise, let's follow Zhou Laoer upstairs and ask him to identify him?"

Su Sanniang immediately refused, "Are you crazy? None of us has any signs at the moment. There are so many people in the teahouse, and it is inevitable that someone will find this abnormality... What's more, what can Zhou Laoer recognizes him? Can we still kill him in front of everyone? If we can't succeed in one go, we will startle the snake. If we want to find him again in the future, it will be as hard as climbing to the sky!"

Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "Then, can you use your identity as the King of Sha to summon a group of soldiers from the heavenly kingdom to find a charge to force him out?"

Su Sanniang said, "If you are helpless, you have to do this. However, the battle between our army and the Qing Yao is approaching, and Du Wang Huang Wenjin is working hard to win over the hearts of the people in the city. I cannot come up with this bad strategy as soon as I come. Besides, the problem of shadow cannot be solved."

Pu Zixuan wondered, "I heard from you that there seems to be a best strategy?"

Su Sanniang snorted and said, "Yes, why can't we go up and find him instead of inviting him?"

Pu Zixuan wondered even more: "How do you want him to come down?"

Su Sanniang smiled with a mystery and spread her right hand and said, "This."

While talking, three little ghosts appeared on Su Sanniang's arm.
