Taoyuan

When this Mr. Jiang was exposed to the sun, it was like an air bag that had been punctured, and a rancid smell emerged from his body. The stimulating Yu Tao immediately used his magical powers to expel the cunning who had shown his feet. The spirit is arrested.

...It's a pity that although these evil creatures have no intelligence, they also have instincts. As soon as they sense the natural enemy's breath emanating from Yu Tao's attack, they abandon the target and eagerly want to shrink back into the human body where it was originally deposited.

Watching helplessly a handful of black smoke that hadn't been extinguished in time penetrated Mr. Jiang's body from the seven orifices, Yu Tao sighed with some regret, reached out to support the man who had finally calmed down and looked down at the man who fell to the ground and was wiping his hands. Chu Qiuming was in a cold sweat: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay...someone is kicking the door?"

"When Mr. Jiang started to shout, there was movement." Yu Tao's hearing was much better than Chu Qiuming's. While dragging the person in his hand to the bed, he paid attention to the two trembling doors, " It sounds like... ah, it's..."

"Master Jiang, Mr. Jia."

Jiang Chengsong kicked open the door and glanced, and saw the Taoist standing in the inner room, nodding slightly to him, and smiling with a tired face: "Master Jiang wants to heal, it is inevitable to suffer some pain. Please rest assured. Just now, Yudian and I have driven away most of the evil wind in the adult's body, and the rest will be completely dispelled by Pindao's practice a few more times."

"If the two of you are worried, you can ask the doctor to give you a pulse and prescribe some prescriptions for nourishing qi and nourishing the body."

Yu Tao looked at Chu Qiuming with the appearance of a master of Taoism. First, he persuaded Jia Zhen, who was both frightened and angry, with good words, and then broke up many Taoist theories without knowing the truth or falsehood. Finally, justice He politely thanked Jiang Chengsong for his beautiful thank-you words... he was really better at acting than those Liyuan opera actors.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he silently tightened Mr. Jiang's support, and put him on the bed with the help of his servant.

When there was no one around, he really had to ask how Chu Qiuming managed to tidy up his mess within the time it took to breathe, and to speak in such a good tone in front of the few people who broke into the door?

Breaking up most of the power of the Yin spirit possessing him, the impact on Mr. Jiang's body on the bed can be said to be visible to the naked eye.

At least, his face has regained some color, and his cheeks and palms have a little warmth.

The two famous doctors in the county who were hurriedly invited over carefully took Mr. Guo Jiang's pulse and looked at his face. After discussing in a low voice, they said to Jiang Chengsong with joy: "Although I don't know the cause of Mr. Jiang's illness, but This Chu Daoist is very clever. My lord’s viscera are indeed revived. His pulse is steady and strong, but he is still delirious and weak in his body. After discussing with the old man, he can prescribe a few doses of clearing the heart, calming the mind, nourishing qi and strengthening the foundation The decoctions and medicines for adults to take a good tonic."

"Then trouble you two to go to the cubicle to prescribe the prescription." Jiang Chengsong finally settled down firmly at this time, and he waved his fingers happily to order the servants and maids in the room, "Treat the two doctors well." , and go to personally inform grandfather and mother of the good news!"

Young Master Jiang gave several orders in a row, and the bedroom, which was originally small, was even more crowded with people coming and going.

Chu Qiuming frowned, pulled Yu Tao to hide in a corner, took a moment to say, "Master Jiang, crowding so many people in the room will inevitably increase the turbidity, which is not good for Mr. Jiang's health, please let someone It’s better to open all the doors and windows. Besides, Pindao can’t help you much today, so I ask Young Master Jiang to allow me to go out of the house and find a place to stay.”

"I was negligent, don't blame the Taoist priest!" Hearing this, Jiang Chengsong stroked his palms angrily, "Changqing, take the Taoist priest for a stroll around the mansion, and ask someone to quickly clean up a room."

"If Daoist Chu doesn't dislike it, how about staying in the mansion temporarily?"

"That's annoying."

When he followed Young Master Jiang's personal servant, Chang Qing, out of Mr. Jiang's yard, Yu Tao could already see many people hurrying over from the long corridor at the side corner. Probably the news that Mr. Jiang is expected to recover from his illness has spread all over the world. house.

"Chu Daochang, Mr. Yu, there are a lot of people in the mansion, the villain will take you to the garden to rest for a while?" Changqing obviously noticed this, turned around and asked respectfully.

Yu Tao and Chu Qiuming naturally had no objections, they nodded and followed his arrangement.

You can't notice it from the outside, but when you walk around inside, Chu Qiuming finds that the structure of the Sheriff's Mansion is full of violations, and it looks like it was newly built in recent years, not really Luxurious, but also very particular.

With some confidence in his heart, when he saw the exquisite and beautiful verdant flowers and trees in the garden and the half-acre pond, he only raised his brows slightly.

Seeing that although Daoist Chu had no expression on his face, another Mr. Yu obviously liked the scenery in the garden, Changqing felt relieved, and after apologizing, he left to arrange the other young masters' assignments.

Picking a bluestone bench near the pond and sitting down, Yu Tao couldn't help boasting: "It's rare to see such a place where Yin and Yang are in harmony. This garden is really nice."

"Yeah, I don't know how much Jiang's family has spent on it." Chu Qiuming chuckled, and relaxed and leaned against the stone table that was slightly scalded by the sun, "I should be able to make a lot of money from this business. gone."

"Well, just pay back your debt to the tavern in time." Nodding, Yu Tao reminded, and asked a little moved, "Is this kind of business of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts so profitable?"

Still being invited to the door, you can easily earn a lot of money.

Chu Qiuming tilted his head, looked at Yu Tao's face and could guess what he was thinking, twitched the corners of his mouth and cried miserably: "How can there be such a good thing as you said, this time the county guard's mansion is rich and powerful, if If you meet those who have no money or are stingy, it would be nice to treat you to a meal and give you some dry food."

"Besides, I'm good at divination and calculation, and my strength is low when it comes to exorcising evil spirits. If you hadn't helped the store in time when the ghost sprang up just now, I couldn't keep it today, or I was injured and failed. In the end, Mr. Jia and the others did nothing It's the fate of being driven out of the county government without mercy."

"It's very difficult to live alone outside."

"...Oh." Yu Tao looked down at the few koi swimming leisurely under the surface of the pond, and replied somewhat uncomfortably.

It was the first time he heard Chu Qiuming speak in such a low tone... Wouldn't it be good for him to leave the tavern and go on the road after paying the debt?

The sudden stagnation of the atmosphere made Yu Tao feel hesitant.After looking at Chu Qiuming who was thinking about nothing, he tried his best to change the subject: "Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something earlier."

"Before Jiang Chengsong kicked open the door and came in, I clearly saw you sitting on the ground looking very hard, but in the blink of an eye, you turned into a serious look... How did you do it?"

The author has something to say: Merry Christmas, everyone~~ Is there someone who is not as festive as me_(:зゝ∠)_

Last night, I was ridiculed by Ma Ma as a single dog with no dates on festivals, heh [Indifference.jpg

☆, talk in the courtyard

As one of the aides who are highly valued by Jiang Junshou in the Sheriff's Mansion, and as the confidant of Mr. Jiang who just woke up, Jia Zhen has been so busy these days that he can hardly walk with wind in his clothes until Chu Qiuming came to give Jiang When the young master had his last diagnosis and treatment, he finally saw the two of them again.

As soon as they met each other, he felt a little strange, and he was secretly worried.

Seeing that the patient had been helped to lie down under the sun, Yu Tao followed Chu Qiuming's prior request to sit aside and watch over him.After all, the strength of the Yin spirit attached to Mr. Jiang is not low. Although after several repeated "healings", there are not many clues, but who knows if it still has a little power left, and it deliberately lurked down?

According to Taoist records, evil things such as ghosts and ghosts have always been cut down without eradicating their roots, and they will regenerate when the wind blows, but none of them can check the patients... The two pondered for a long time, and today's Jiang The young master is dragged into the courtyard to bask in the sun.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the warm sunshine shone on my body, making me feel warm and lazy.

The Arhat couch, which is more than enough to accommodate two people, was placed in a sunny and leeward position in the courtyard, and two layers of soft and thick bedding were spread. After chatting with Yu Tao, Mr. Jiang became mentally ill and lay down on it. Going to take a nap, her pale face was a little more bloody from the sun.

After arranging the affairs here, Chu Qiuming went back to the room to tinker with his prescriptions, leaving Yu Tao bored watching the patient just in case.

Noticing that Jia Zhen, who hadn't seen each other for a few days, came from the other side of the arch, saluted Mr. Jiang who was on the couch, and came to his side. Yu Tao made room for him: "Uncle Jia."

"En." Jia Zhen nodded, took a seat next to him, and asked in a low voice, "A Tao, will my lord's body heal after being exposed to the sun this time?"

"You can say that." Yu Tao thought for a while, then nodded, "However, we should pay more attention in the future."

"Uncle, you must have understood that Mr. Jiang's situation this time is actually not hysteria, but evil spirits entering the body. And those who are possessed by evil things will have a lighter fate than others , and it will be easier to encounter this kind of thing again in the future. Therefore, Mr. Jiang will also need to bask in the sun often outside in the future, and take advantage of the sun's majesty and righteousness to protect himself."

"Evil things..." Jia Zhen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Although a few of their close friends had already guessed this from the few words that Yu Tao and Daoist Chu revealed in the past few days, but it was really confirmed at this time. new questions.

"Since the sun is said to be the natural nemesis of such evil things, in recent days, no, in recent years, the sun has been hanging above the head almost every day in the daytime. I don't know how many things have died in the sun. Is there a place where evil things remain? I can be considered a well-informed person, but I have never heard of such things in the past few years."

While listening to Jia Zhen's gentle questioning voice, Yu Tao couldn't help nodding his head again and again: "I also find these questions strange. I discussed them with Chu Qiuming, but I didn't get any results."

However, Chu Qiuming's theory of "Yin Yang Yin Sheng" has some truth... I can't tell him about it.

"I would also like to ask Mr. Yu, how do these evil things possess people?"

A dull voice with a lack of energy broke the silence between Yu Tao and Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen was taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over to help Mr. Jiang and let him lean on the back of the cushion: "Did we wake you up, my lord?"

"No, I've had enough sleep. Jia Qing, please sit down." Jiang Yuji waved his hand, and turned his gaze to Yu Tao who was aside, "This time, if it wasn't for my good luck, Jia Qing would help me." I am looking for the two of you, and I am afraid that they will die in the end without knowing why. These evil things are invisible and unknowable, sir, is there any way to prevent problems before they happen, so that the people in my county can be vigilant?"

Although this Mr. Jiang looked as if he had not recovered from a serious illness and was weak and weak, leaning weakly on the low couch, his eyes were full of energy, and there was no weakness in his eyes or words.

Being stared at by him so sincerely and earnestly, Yu Tao, who has never paid much attention to it, found himself a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"I don't know much about ghosts and ghosts, but those who want to attach a human body must have a certain strength. The number is rare, and Mr. Jiang does not need to worry too much. As for the method of prevention, spend more time in the sun at noon every day Just stay for a while." After saying that, Yu Tao thought for a while and added, "Why don't I ask Chu Qiuming to come out to see the Lord? Daoists understand these things better."

"No, as long as this 'hysteria' doesn't spread in the county, it's fine." Jiang Yuji smiled at Yu Tao, his face obviously relieved, "I'll send people to post notices around the county in a while. However, the people down here have to run around for their lives every day, and it is not uncommon for them to be basking in the sun during the scorching heat, but it is a mistake."

"It's not like me, I'm sweating all over now." Lifting the thin quilt on his body, Jiang Yuji laughed at himself, "Quanfu, come in and help your grandfather walk around the garden, Jia Qing, you take the Mr. Yu can do as he pleases."

The person named Quan Fu was Jiang Yuji's personal book boy, who came out of nowhere after hearing the call, with a solemn face, quickly arranged Mr. Jiang up and down, and quickly supported him Slowly out of the yard.

Full of oppressive feeling, Master Jiang finally left, Yu Tao heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his body, and wanted to go back to the house to discuss with Chu Qiuming about going back to the tavern, but Jia Zhen called out live.

"Uncle, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there have been a lot of affairs in the county mansion recently, and I've been taking care of Mr. Jiang and Gongwen all day long. I said earlier that I would bring you to know more about the county mansion..."

"Uncle's kind intentions are appreciated, but this trip is enough to cure Lord Jiang." Hearing the meaning of his words, Yu Tao interrupted decisively, "The others have nothing to do with me."

Staying in front of Mr. Jiang's hospital bed, Yu Tao also met many officials and staff who came and went to visit him.Although he is not very proficient in human language, he is very sensitive to human emotions.Those adults... Anyway, none of them could make him feel comfortable.

In fact, Jia Zhen, who always came to take the initiative to find him, didn't feel very good to him. Master Jiang and his son Jiang Chengsong were the best in the entire county, and the rules of Jiang County were just the opposite of his descendants.

Seeing that Yu Tao was really indifferent or even disgusted with this opportunity, Jia Zhen sighed lightly and shook his head, and could only follow him: "You and your adoptive father are really similar in this respect, and you can't see it through... Heh, I didn't know what to do before. That's not what you want to ask."

"Is there any conflict between you and Daoist Chu in the past two days? Why haven't you been together? I see that the relationship seems to be much colder."

What contradictions can there be?

Unaware of Jia Zhen's words, Yu Tao shook his head in a daze, and pointed to the compartment in the house temporarily designated as a pharmacy: "He is busy dispensing medicines, and he likes to stay in the pharmacy recently. Are you looking for him?"

The author has something to say: I am tired and paralyzed in the middle of the night because of an exam...

Of course! and!

After the exam, I began to wonder what was the point of reviewing like this.

The questions are all so ridiculous, the answer depends entirely on imagination 〒▽〒

Crying and begging

☆, back to the tavern

Jia Zhen's words still make some sense.

The carriage rattled along, and the interior of the carriage was so quiet that one could easily hear all the movements outside.

Yu Tao looked at Chu Qiuming who was sitting across from him with his head buried in his books, and remembered the question Jia Zhen asked him a few days before his departure.

When they were in the county mansion before, the two had their own affairs, but they got along well, and he didn't feel that Chu Qiuming was indifferent to him.But on the way back this time, they stayed in the same carriage, and they were about to return to the tavern, but they could count on one hand the things they talked about in a few days.

It's completely different from what it used to be.

Even though Yu Tao felt that it would be more comfortable to be in the same room with someone who doesn't talk much, but he was also interested in his abnormality.

"Chu Qiuming, why don't you talk?" Yu Tao couldn't think of an answer from himself, so he just spoke directly, but saw Chu Qiuming suddenly raised his head as if he had been awakened suddenly, his hands trembled, and he almost hugged him The pages of the book were torn in my hand.

"...Don't panic, be careful."

"fine."

Chu Qiuming tried his best to maintain the calm on his face, and smiled at Yu Tao with the corners of his mouth curled up. He felt his heart fluttering, wanting him to continue to look at him like this, but also wanting to reach out to put his hand on his face. Cover your eyes.

After silently reading a few words of the Nanhua Sutra to calm his mind, Chu Qiuming put the scripture in his hand aside: "I'm just reading a scripture, why did I suddenly ask this?"

Just like Yu Tao's character who doesn't care about everything, he doesn't seem like a person who can find out that he is abnormal so quickly, no, a demon... guards a small tavern and does not move his nest, learns worldly things in a mess, looks gentle and casual, but actually abides by the precepts , It looks quite nostalgic, but it's very cold inside, like a piece of wood... He was really blind to fall in love with Yu Tao, and he didn't realize that he was as good as Long Yang before?

No matter how sad and indignant Chu Qiuming was in his heart, there was a curious and calm expression on his face.Although Yu Tao noticed that his breath was disturbed for a moment, he didn't find anything on his face, and replied: "Jia Zhen noticed it first, and he asked me if I had a dispute with you. You said you were making medicine in the pharmacy. , Studying the scriptures and the like, is it an excuse for not wanting to talk to me? You were quite talkative in the carriage before."

... The question is really straightforward.

Chu Qiuming's complexion twisted for a moment, and he felt that the person opposite him was both annoying and cute, so he tentatively said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know how to tell you."

Sighing lightly, he sat a little closer towards Yu Tao, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car window: "Cure Mr. Jiang, the thank you from the prefect's mansion is enough for me to pay off what I owe you at the store." It cost me a lot. But... Can I keep the stall for me in the tavern? Thinking about it, if I want to leave, I really don't know where to go... Hey, I'm almost there after turning the corner in front. "

"After all, we should be able to go back today." Looking out the small car window, Yu Tao responded, "If you decide to stay, go back and tell Hou Bai that you will leave the house. Let’s tidy up the wing rooms too.”

"Ha, thank you to the store!"

Seeing Chu Qiuming's relaxed and happy appearance after he settled his worries, Yu Tao nodded noncommittally.

"My lord! Brother Chu!"

"Shopkeeper, you are finally back. Did the trip go smoothly? Why did you come back with an extra carriage?"

The carriage stopped in front of the tavern, and Hou Bai and Jiaojiao, who were staying at home, heard the movement and quickly greeted them from inside.Seeing that Yu Tao and Chu Qiuming came down from the carriage one after another, the originally polite welcome immediately became relaxed and enthusiastic.

It was the first time Yu Tao had been away from home for such a long time. At this time, he finally returned to his own territory. When he saw his subordinates, even the little thing liked his ugly name, so he rarely showed a slight smile: "They are all quite good." It went well, the latter one is a thank-you gift to Chu Qiuming from the Sheriff's Mansion, and they helped to transport it here. How is the tavern these two days?"

"It's okay, there's a big trouble, I'll tell the shopkeeper after I'm done here, there's still a table of guests in the tavern." Seeing the two drivers on the second carriage hugging the cart, After moving the large and small boxes and cages on the table to the tavern, Hou Bai said something to Yu Tao, rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

"Uh, uh, Brother Yu, there is always hot water on the stove, and there is still some food, why don't you go in and rest?" Looking around, the little snake demon pulled Yu Tao's clothes and raised his head.

"That's fine." Anyway, since he had nothing to do outside, Yu Tao picked up Jiaojiao by his legs and walked into the tavern.

The consultation fees and gifts that the Jiang family prepared for the two were not very large, and four or five people worked together, and they were all moved in a short while.

Seeing that the task entrusted by the host was completed, the drivers of the two carriages did not stay any longer, and left in a hurry with the snacks given by Hou Bai.

Watching the carriage go away, Hou Bai, who was the last to return to the tavern, saw Daoist Chu sitting at the same table with the original guests, talking to them about what he had seen and heard in the sheriff as if he were telling a story, which made people feel scared. I was stunned for a moment, and there was a little girl who was also listening attentively by the table.

Sure enough, as soon as Daoist Chu came back, the tavern would be full of excitement.

Seeing that he is so busy now, he walked up to Yu Tao who was sitting behind the counter wiping his hands with a wet towel: "Shopkeeper, should I put this pile of consultation fees in the hall first or what?"

"Let's put it away for now. I've read the gift list, and most of it contains practical things. When Chu Qiuming is free, let him know and put out the things that can be used." Looking at the quilt Near the counter, there is a pile of things wrapped in red strips of paper, Yu Tao said, "In addition, Chu Qiuming will also live in our tavern in the future, you can discuss with him, and put the sundries in his side room Make room too, his current room is too small to live in for a long time."

Hou Bai was taken aback by this unexpected request, turned his head to look at his figure, and raised his eyebrows: "Master, have you found me another helper?"

"Ah? No, he will still set up his fortune-telling booth in the tavern in the future, so he can be regarded as a tenant... If you can't do the work at hand in the future, you can recruit him as a shop assistant."

"Okay, I understand." Knowing how he should treat this human Taoist priest who will mess with them for a while, Hou Bai nodded, and asked again the question he had asked when Yu Tao just got off the carriage: " After you leave, there are only me and Jiaojiao, the old and the young, in the tavern, and they are probably being treated as soft persimmons to take advantage of you."

"The peach trees planted around the tavern have been producing peaches one after another in the past two days. He has attracted many thieves and robbers. I have already caught a dozen or so people who secretly came to pick peaches in the middle of the night. There are even some daring ones, touching the base of the wall and wanting to climb in, but it gives me a headache." As he said, he rubbed his head helplessly.

These thieves and robbers caught by him are all gangsters and neighbors in nearby villages and counties.

The author has something to say: It will be a new year soon, probably because this year I have experienced many things during the transition period of my senior year, and after opening the door to a new world, I finally found a reason to take a breather, so I am very excited, These two days have been counting down to New Year's Day and counting down to the winter vacation hehehe~~

——Then I was told to work overtime on the last day of the New Year’s Day holiday, huh

——Wake up, the last winter vacation of your life has been eaten up by evil forces [Hold your head and cry ing]

Woohoo...there is no longer a long holiday, I'm going to cry just thinking about it

☆, moon night practice

After voicing bitterness with Yu Tao, Hou Bai couldn't help showing a little anger on his face, "Shop, do you still remember the newly reclaimed land in the upper reaches of the creek? There are a few thieves who are there during the day. The people who plow the fields! There are no people in the surrounding area for a few miles. I guess, the other thieves are also brought here by those bastards... Fortunately, when they come and go by the tavern on weekdays, I often greet them. Voice."

"They will come after you caught them? Didn't you teach them a lesson?" Yu Tao has encountered many situations where his own things were coveted by others, and he didn't fancy a few ordinary peaches like Hou Bai did. I don't think there is anything to be angry about.

"I've been beaten up a few times, but I don't dare to be cruel." Hou Bai looked at the store helplessly, "Beating once can make them be honest for a few days, and there will always be people who sneak over every now and then."

The few peach trees planted on the outermost perimeter had already had several peaches stolen, and he felt pain in his heart when he thought about it.

Although the peaches on the tree were not small, they were far from ripe enough to eat. This group of people was simply wasting things!

"It's good that you come back now, and I will teach them a lesson when the time comes."

Seeing Hou Bai’s fierce eyes and high fighting spirit while he was talking, Yu Tao had no choice but to nod his head to show his support: “You just need to be more careful. My trip to the county government has delayed my practice a lot. , I will focus on practicing at night recently. If you don’t encounter any difficulties, you can deal with them yourself.”

"I'll take a look at the ledger for this period of time first."

The night is dark, the moonlight is like water, and the stars are shaded.

Because he was not used to it and was inconvenient to devote himself to cultivating in a strange place with many people, it was the first time that Yu Tao interrupted the practice homework that he had to do every night for so long.Now that he finally returned to the familiar place, he stretched his hands and feet and bathed in the moonlight, and felt so comfortable that he wanted to sigh for a moment.

"call……"

As if feeling something, a childish and comfortable sigh came from his side.Yu Tao raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Jiao Jiao who had turned into a prototype and hung on the fence in the courtyard: "Why are you sighing?"

"Because you're back, my lord." The little snake demon briskly bent over the branch and tied it in a knot, flicking its slender tail, obviously very happy, "My strength is not enough, I can only help Little Busy, a few days ago, it could be said that only Hou Bo and a monster guarded our territory, it was too unstable."

"So you have to work hard. If it continues to be useless like this, I will kick you out." Yu Tao was in a good mood, so he didn't bother about Jiaojiao's persistent addressing of himself, but reminded her.

Since Chu Qiuming will stay in the tavern in the future, and he can be called to help when the business is busy, Jiaojiao will be even less useful.

There are no idlers in his tavern.

"I've been practicing very hard!" The little snake demon suddenly became anxious, raised his head and said to Yu Tao, "Although the distance from Huajiao is still a bit far away, I have already learned a few water-gathering spells , I can water the vegetable fields, fill the water tanks in the back kitchen with water, and help wash the dishes and clothes... When the winter is over and the stream is cut off and water is scarce, I will be very useful! Your Majesty..."

"Be quiet."

The little snake demon's high-pitched voice was sharp, and a series of chants came into his ears, and Yu Tao almost disrupted the movement of spiritual energy in his body.Turning around to face the little snake, seeing her honestly, and no longer twisting and shaking the fence, Yu Tao was satisfied and said: "Chu Qiuming will stay in the tavern in the future, and you will be as noisy as before when the night is quiet." Try to keep it as small as possible. Unlike our demon race, he needs to sleep at night; and unlike the human race, he can hear your voice when you transform into a prototype. Be careful not to disturb him to rest , and don’t disturb me and Hou Bai’s cultivation.”

"Did you hate things that woke you up when you were hibernating?"

With such an analogy, the little snake demon, who was still a little confused at first, suddenly realized, and nodded repeatedly: "Brother, Brother Yu said yes, it won't happen in the future... Ah, Brother Chu, did I wake you up?"

Shrinking her neck timidly, she apologized to Chu Qiuming who was wearing a coat, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

Chu Qiuming, who had been keeping his ears upright in the house and paying attention to the movement of Yu Tao in the yard, knew all about the little turmoil between them, so he didn't say much, and sat down near Yu Tao with a smile: "It's nothing, I was originally Haven't fallen asleep yet."

"What are you arguing about?"

"Don't block my moon... Jiaojiao is talking about her cultivation achievements." Chu Qiuming sat down in a bad position, Yu Tao frowned, and while replying to his words, he moved a little closer to his right hand , so that the moonlight can shine all over his body.

"Oh?" Chu Qiuming gave Yu Tao a hand, smiled slightly and looked at the little water snake whose whole body was coiled on the fence.

"Snakes, dragons and other spirits are yin and belong to water. After becoming a demon, they can inherit some natural abilities of water and wood. Which one is the best?"

"Water system, I can summon a ball of water out of thin air." With a hook of its tail, the little snake demon, who remembers eating but not hitting, soon became proud of his progress.In addition, she can also enlarge the prototype into a big snake with more than two feet!

It's just that her body doesn't change much. Hou Bo said that she can only grow up slowly with her age, which disappointed the demon and was even rejected by the king.

"It hasn't been long since Jiaojiao learned to transform into form, right? She can cultivate her supernatural powers at such a young age, which is very powerful." Chu Qiuming coaxed a few words, and saw the little snake demon was so happy that he could barely shake his head and tail. While being proud, he also peeked at Yu Tao who was beside him.

Resisting the smile on his lips, he opened his mouth and wanted her to use his supernatural powers once, when he was shocked by the sudden eruption of evil spirits from Hou Bai and Yu Tao beside him in the back room, making him choke on his own saliva!

The evil spirit and anger are fleeting.

Hearing the sound of Hou Bai going out through the window and over the wall in the back room, Chu Qiuming covered his lips and coughed non-stop, and asked Yu Tao eagerly, "What did you find? Cough cough... what happened?" ?”

"Is that gang of villains who came to our site to rob us again?"

Looking at the anxious expressions of one person and one snake, Yu Tao nodded: "A few strange auras appeared on the edge of the peach forest, they should be the group of people that Hou Bai told me today, who like to come to our place to steal."

Although Chu Qiuming didn't know the cause and effect very well, he could guess a lot based on Yu Tao's words and the internal and external conditions of the tavern.After thinking about it, he let go of most of his nervousness on behalf of Yu Tao and the tavern... and decided to worry a little bit about those ignorant guys instead.

Judging from Jiaojiao's tone, it was definitely not the first time that group of people raided the tavern at night.Although I don't understand why Hou Bai didn't completely deal with them, but it's a fantasy for a group of mortals to take advantage of an old monster clan. Compared with Hou Bai, he can come back sooner.

☆, the thief is gone

Chu Qiuming expected it.

They waited outside the peach grove for about a stick of incense, and Hou Bai pushed and kicked four or five figures who were in a mess and kept begging for mercy and came back.

"Shut up all of you, do you think I'm a fool? I couldn't get out of my hands to teach you when I was shameless a few times ago. Now they are back from my store. Let's see how to teach you!" Hou Bai sneered a few times at the butt of the old rascal at the end, feeling extremely happy.

Although he didn't use all his strength, Hou Bai's legs and feet were still very strong. The cowering man who was at the end was kicked into a ball and rolled a few somersaults, lying at the feet of Chu Qiuming who couldn't get back in time.

"My lord, my lord, please forgive me this time! I really can't help it, the little ones at home have been arguing that they have nothing to eat and are so hungry...I didn't pick anything this time, Sier stole you two!"

"You are talking nonsense! You have no conscience, old dog! My lord has no children in his house! He urged us to come here! He..."

Hou Bai saw that these people lost their position after seeing the shopkeeper waiting outside the Taolin, and even began to prevaricate and beg for mercy, so he couldn't help sneering a few times: "Shopkeeper, how should we deal with these people?"

"Have you educated them?" Yu Tao hesitated to ask Hou Bai when he heard the group of people crying for their father and mother.

"Yes, I was beaten up as soon as I caught it." Hou Bai nodded and shook his head, "It's always been done like this before, shopkeeper, don't look at them howling and begging now, they are actually farting, turn around and get better If the injury finds a chance, it may come again."

After understanding the hidden meaning in Hou's vernacular, Yu Tao glanced at the pitiful and helpless thieves lying on the ground, and sighed: "It's really troublesome. Everyone breaks a leg, and then... you know they are Is it from which village? Or it’s fine if you get dizzy and lose it in the field, at least you still have a leg.”

His voice was neither soft nor heavy, and he didn't avoid others.As soon as the words fell, the begging voices of those peach thieves immediately rose an octave.

... There is no way out, they have not dealt with Hou Bai once or twice, at this time, they will definitely not be able to escape, and they can only work harder to see if they can spare them.

... Why was there no movement when the shopkeeper Yu came back!The young man is ruthless, I don't believe he can continue to dominate this pile of property!

"They cry so fakely."

"Yeah, that's what happens when you want to break into other people's homes and steal things." Chu Qiuming echoed Jiaojiao's words, watching these shameless people's more and more exaggerated performances, dispelling the desire to make peace in his heart thoughts.

Bending down, he tried his best to tear away the old man who was lying on the ground hugging his calf and crying: "You have a low nose, a broad face, and a narrow hall. A habitual offender who has been captured by Brother Hou many times, why should he be so hypocritical. If you don't let go, I will ask Brother Hou to break both of your hands."

The night wind is getting stronger and stronger, the peach leaves are rustling, the smell of green peaches is faintly lingering in the nose, and the moonlight is quiet.

Well, if it weren't for the group of people a few steps away who were crying, howling and cursing, the situation would indeed be quiet.

Needless to say, Hou Bai's whole body was full of strength, he easily suppressed the thieves, he lifted a few "clicks" lightly, and broke a leg for each of them.

In the end, trying to save trouble, the three of them directly lifted them up and threw them into the new field upstream of the stream.
