Strange Tale

From last night to now, Si Ren has not eaten any grains of rice, and he is already hungry.And there happened to be a ready-made meal prepared by Mrs. Ma, so at his insistence, they ate lunch before going to Huan'er's house.But afterwards, when Si Ren thought of the meal, he had only one feeling: he should rather starve to death.

During the meal, Si Ren and Qilin sat on one side, and Long Jiu and Huan'er sat on the other side.Qilin and Huan'er quarreled while eating, either grabbing food or throwing food at each other.Long Jiu still ate without taste.Si Ren was very busy, he was hungry, he devoured food without talking, and he had to stop Qilin and Huan'er from messing around endlessly. At the same time, he didn't forget to greet Long Jiu from time to time as the master to let him have more time. eat some.

Finally, the meal was finished.Qilin went to the kitchen to pick up the bowl.Si Ren was busy washing Huan'er's face and combing her hair again.After all, they are going home to meet their parents, so they can't let their children go back with their hair disheveled and rice grains all over their faces, and ghosts are no exception.

Like an old man, Long Jiu hugged his shoulders and watched the fun, "Mr. Si."

"Why?" Si Renzheng was impatient as it was really difficult to make a bun.

"I don't think I will call you Mr. Si in the future."

"I didn't ask you to call me at first, just call me by name."

"Well... I think Mrs. Si is more suitable."

Si Renbailong took a nine-look look, "Whatever you want, brother Jiutou."

At this moment, Qilin happened to pass by Long Jiu, "He's such a big man, at least we have dinner together. Will he die if he picks up a bowl?"

"Hmph." Long Jiu snorted, turned around, took a few bowls from the table, and walked towards the kitchen.

Three minutes later, there was a clattering sound.Qilin rushed into the room and pointed behind him, "That idiot broke a lot of bowls!"

……

Finally about to go out on the road, Qilin showed his original shape and got into Si Ren's backpack.Huan'er was also clamoring to go in, but Si Ren persuaded Long Jiu to carry Huan'er and fly over to wait for him first, so Huan'er happily climbed on top of Long Jiu and walked away with him.

Although Si Ren's ground shrinking technique can't keep up with Longjiu and cars, it is still much faster than rickshaws, so he still walks.

When Si Ren and Qilin arrived at the place, Long Jiu and Huan'er were already sitting on the tree in front of Huan'er's house and playing with the birds.Huan'er was very obedient and didn't make any noise to enter the house.It seems that although this little girl is a bit noisy sometimes, she is still very sensible when it is time to behave.Si Ren liked her more and more.

Si Ren asked Long Jiu and Huan'er to wait a while, and went into the yard by himself.The courtyard door was open, so Si Ren went directly to the door and knocked twice.

There was no movement in the house.

Si Ren knocked twice again.

Still no movement.

Si Ren thought for a while and felt that something was wrong, so he stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and the door opened.

Four legs were hanging from the beam, and Huan'er's parents were hanging on it.

Si Ren released the unicorn and closed the door in time, rushed over and dragged a table to catch the two of them and climbed up to untie the rope.Fortunately, they had just been hanged, and after pinching the person and smelling the medicine, Si Ren and Qi Lin hurriedly worked for a while, and Huan'er's parents coughed twice before waking up.

Huan'er's parents were originally from Gongcheng in the south of the Yangtze River. After ten years of marriage, they did not have a son and a half daughter.Until Huan'er's father rescued a blind old lady on his way home at night.After the old lady learned of their husband and wife's wishes, she said that she had a wonderful recipe for having children, but she asked them to raise golden silkworms after they had children. It's hard to save your life even if you come out.As a result, the couple were eager to ask for a child, and they agreed without much thought.

Soon after Huan'er was born, the husband and wife were overjoyed and then began to regret it. They knew that people with animal voodoo would not die well, and they didn't want to harm anyone.So when Huan'er was full moon, they took Huan'er and fled Gongcheng, all the way north, and then they arrived in Yancheng.

Huan'er grew up slowly, and the husband and wife soon discovered that she was different. They began to be afraid, thinking that the child was the reason they begged for it, so in order not to let others know Huan'er's secret, they always Qian reminded Wan'er to tell Huan'er not to tell others what she could see, and he didn't dare to send her to school.

Later, when Huan'er had an accident, the couple believed that they had suffered retribution for not keeping their promise and running away overnight, and they didn't believe that Huan'er fell into the well by themselves.Or why Huan'er went to Hao's house with Hao Xiaobao's cousin without going to anyone's house for so long?How could it be so coincidental that when Huan'er fell into the well, Hao Xiaobao fell ill and asked a Taoist priest to throw a big stone into the well?And why did it take so long for Huan'er's body to be discovered?

In short, in the end they concluded that Huan'er died unexpectedly, and that the Hao family bullied others in an attempt to destroy the evidence, smashed up the body, and asked Hao Chengye to send Huan'er back after a month.

Originally, Huan'er's father didn't think that Si Ren and Long Jiu were involved, but after he rejected Hao Chengye's money, Si Ren actually left him money when he left.He thought how could there be such a stupid person in the world?Will you be willing to spend so much money on things that have nothing to do with you?He saw that Long Jiu was with Si Ren, so he decided that Si Ren, Long Jiu and Huan'er's death were probably inseparable.

So the husband and wife lost their beloved daughter and were eager to take revenge. They couldn't find any other way for a while, so they thought of the golden silkworm Gu that had always been prevalent in their hometown.

Golden Silkworm Gu.On May [-]th, a variety of poisonous insects are gathered in a sealed container, making them eat and kill each other, and the last thing left is Gu.One year later in Kaifeng, the poisonous Gu in it can only be seen by animal Gu people, or they are insects and snakes, or dogs, hogs, or ghosts.The shape is like a silkworm, the whole body is golden, bent like a finger ring, and those who eat brocade and silk like eating mulberry leaves are golden silkworm Gu, which can be endless.It can fly into the victim's house, as long as it is someone the voodoo animal has seen, no matter whether it recognizes them or not, it can make them voodoo.

Huan'er's parents found a merchant from the south at the market, and after a few inquiries, they found the owner who sold poisonous Gu, and then bought Golden Silkworm Gu with the money Si Ren left them.Because only five people went to Huan'er's house before, and everyone knew the location of Hao's compound.So last night they released the five poisonous Gus to the Hao Mansion, and the poisonous Gus will find the person the animal Gus want to murder by themselves.In this way, when Si Ren left this morning, he was hit by a Gu, and Long Jiu's Gu was the General's Mansion that he often came with.

Huan'er's parents finished the story with tears in their eyes, and then continued to cry and said: "We know that using witchcraft is harmful to nature no matter what. If you want to stop using the golden silkworm Gu, you have to 'marry the golden silkworm'. People. Even if we are not found out, we will not end well. Besides, the daughter is gone, and we can no longer have children. What's the point of living? It's better to die and clean up. "

"Alas—" Si Ren sighed, "Sometimes fate must have it, and if it doesn't, why force it? Brother Zhao, what if what I and the Hao family master told you that day were all true?"

Huan'er's father looked at Si Ren and shook his head again and again, "Impossible...Impossible..."

Having said that, Si Ren could see that he already regretted what he did with his wife, and began to doubt his previous thoughts.

Si Ren walked into the yard and waved to Huan'er, Long Jiu hugged Huan'er down.

Huan'er entered the house, and Si Ren stood in the yard and told Long Jiu the ins and outs of the matter.

Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully, "Then Hao Chengzhi was wronged?"

"Well, of course." Si Ren pulled Long Jiu aside, "There is another matter that I want to discuss with you."

"what?"

"He Ziming, the new director of the public security station, belongs to you. Huan'er's parents are pitiful enough without their daughter. See if you can..."

"No."

"I'm not done yet."

"I know what you're going to say. What to do if you kill someone, I told you."

"Huh? Killing for life?" Si Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "What about you? Have you ever killed for life?"

"I'm not a human being, so I don't need to be restricted by your rules. Besides, I haven't killed people for no reason."

"They didn't kill for no reason either."

"Then Hao Chengye and his two servants died in vain? Do you think it's fair to the Hao family that I intercede and let Ziming let them go? Besides, they not only killed three people, but also wanted your life and mine. I have lived for so many years, and no one has ever dared to lay a gu on me!"

"But even if they pay for their lives, so what? What good will it do you? If they don't die, they won't pose any threat to you. They are not Shi Da'en and the soldiers guarding the city. They have the city you want to take. They are not Jinji, who would Keep trolling you and trying to kill you. They're just a normal mortal couple overwhelmed by the loss of a child, and they've already regretted it."

"Hmph! Regret? If you can regret everything and forget the past, then there will be no punishment and prison!"

"But……"

"You don't need to say it!" Long Jiu's hair clearly showed that he was already angry, "I don't care about the fact that they tricked me, but their grievances with the Hao family are between you mortals. I have nothing to do. He Ziming was sent by me to the public security station. Before I left Yancheng, he was responsible for the public security here. Pay the price, no matter who or what reason!"

"Then what if..." Si Yan turned his head to look at the door, "Did they run away by themselves?"

"Hmph! Do you think they can escape?" Long Jiu smiled mockingly and slapped his hands twice.

He Ziming and Captain Qin appeared with the people from the security station.

Si Ren frowned, "How would they know..."

"Since Silkworm Cocoon can find other people who have been infected by the Gu, it can also find the person who has cast the Gu. In fact, I first found out who was infected by the Gu, and then I went to you."

"Then you knew what I was going to do when you saw Huan'er?"

"you can say it this way."

"Are you not worried about whether I have been poisoned?"

Long Jiu's eyebrows twisted into one high and one low, "Do you care about this?"

Si Ren lowered his head and lowered his voice, "Yes."

Long Jiu smiled, "That's fine. In fact, I thought: If you really can't even deal with the Golden Silkworm Gu, then there is nothing worth worrying about. I hate weak people, and I don't like you like you just now. Beg me like that. If you have the ability, you can find a way for people to never find them again."

This time it was Si Ren's turn to smile, but he didn't say anything more.

Long Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed suddenly, he came to his senses and ran to the door of the house and kicked it open: there was a lonely person sitting on the table that Si Ren used to save people just now. Dry ring.

Long Jiu backed out, "Zi Ming! They ran away!"

He Ziming and Captain Qin immediately led their men to chase in different directions.

Si Ren still looked at Long Jiu with a smile.

Long Jiu still felt that something was wrong, "Oh? That's right! Where's Qilin?!"

"Guess what?"

"You told me for so long just to delay time?!"

"Not at all."

"You..." Long Jiuyi gritted his teeth, and took out the copper bell used to summon living souls and dead people.

Si Ren held down his hand, "Don't yell at others, be careful not to frighten the neighbors nearby. Besides, do you think that if I let Xiaolin take them away, if I don't follow the positive path, I will go to the dark path?"

Long Jiu frowned and thought about it, "You mean..."

"Xiaolin is a goblin, so he is naturally going the way of a goblin. You are surrounded by living people and dead spirits, so the only one who can find him is you, who is also a goblin."

Long Jiu threw off Si Ren and lifted his foot to jump to a high place, but Si Ren hugged him from behind.It is estimated that fighting is useless, so Si Ren decided to use brute force this time.Fortunately, Long Jiu's waist is thin, so it's not difficult to hug her tightly.

"What are you doing?! Let go!"

"Don't let it go! Didn't you say that you don't care about them giving you a Gu? Then why do you still chase after yourself?!"

"I just can't bear to see you go against me everywhere!"

"Then how can I go against you everywhere?!"

"Then you still don't let go?!"

"Don't let it go! Just don't let it go!"

"Let go?!"

"Don't let it go!"

Long Jiu's whole body was on fire.

Si Ren was taken aback, but still didn't let go.This fire was different from the fire in the wine cellar at that time, and it burned very painfully.But Si Ren didn't know where his self-confidence came from, he just felt that Long Jiu would not hurt him, so he clenched his teeth and tightly hooked his hands, refusing to let go.

Long Jiu burned for a while and saw that it was useless, so he had to extinguish the flames on his body and directly hit the tree trunk in front of the courtyard gate.

One, two, three...

Si Ren felt that he was about to vomit blood, but as soon as the fire stopped, the pain disappeared immediately, which made him affirm his thoughts: Long Jiu would not do anything to him.

In the end, Si Ren's self-confidence was verified. After hitting a tree, a door, and a wall, and struggling with all his strength, Long Jiu finally lay down on the ground panting.

Huan'er lay on the window and watched happily from beginning to end. The sadness of saying goodbye to her parents just now seemed to be temporarily forgotten by her.

"You...you let me go...I won't chase them."

"Ahem... No, I have to wait until Xiaolin comes back."

"Before I went to Buji House, Rang also often went to Hao's house, and they will bring people over soon. It's ugly."

"It's okay, I don't care."

"I care."

"..."

When Qilin came back, he often brought Mr. Hao and a few servants along with him.

Si Ren let go of Long Jiu and stood up, and Long Jiu quickly got up too.

He also often glanced at Si Ren, without saying anything, walked over and patted the dirt on Long Jiu's body.Long Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped his face twice.Si Ren called Master Hao aside to talk.Long Jiu also told Yechang about the general situation.

After a while, Mr. Hao came over and saluted, "So you are General Long, I don't know Taishan, I thought you were Mr. Si's apprentice last time..."

"Apprentice?" Long Jiu looked up at Si Ren.

Si Ren pretended to be stupid and changed the topic, "Ahahahaha, I didn't think of it when I first met General Long!"

Long Jiu ignored him and returned the gift to Mr. Hao, "You don't need to be too polite. I'm really...how should I put it..."

"Ai──" Mr. Hao sighed heavily, his eye circles were a little red, "I don't want to think about other things when things have come to this point, now that Cheng Zhi is fine, I have nothing else to ask for."

Long Jiuhe often couldn't help but be a little surprised: it's so easy not to pursue it anymore? !

Master Hao left with his people, and Long Jiuhe often stared at Si Ren wondering what he told them.

Si Ren ignored them and asked Qilin first, "How is it?"

Qilin replied: "I have helped get rid of the Gu, and they will be fine without "marrying the golden silkworm". They promised not to come back and never use Gu to harm anyone again. Please take good care of Huan'er." , said that if there is a chance, I still hope that Huan'er can reincarnate properly."

Si Ren nodded and called Huan'er out of the room and pushed him in front of Yechang, "Master Yechang, can I trouble you for a favor? Help me send Xiao Lin and Huan'er home first. I have something to say to you guys." The general said, go back after finishing speaking."

I also often look at Long Jiu, and Long Jiu nodded.

Apart from anything else, he would often pick up Huan'er with one hand and pull Qilin with the other, then turn around and walk out of the courtyard.

"Uncle, you are so tall." Huan'er sat in Yechang's arms and looked at the ground far away.

He often stares, "I'm not an uncle."

The author has something to say: Marry golden silkworms, people who have raised golden silkworms must marry golden silkworms if they want to stop raising them, and they cannot throw them away at will.The method is to put the golden silkworm Gu together with some gold and silver and throw it on the road, because the owner cannot see the golden silkworm, so the greedy people will take the golden silkworm home after picking up the gold and silver, so they must raise the golden silkworm Gu up.If you don't feed it, you will die.But people who raise golden silkworms usually end up with three endings: lonely, poor, and young.
