Records of Demons in the Republic of China

Ms. Wu left as soon as she said, and took away the only little old lady in the family.Once the courtyard gate was closed, Wu's house was quiet and quiet, only Wu Xiuzhai and Haoyue Jiuyi were left.Wu Xiuzhai stood in the morning breeze and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out how to go on the next journey. He heard the sound of the door behind him, and he looked back, only to be startled.

He saw a boy with a big mouth and a naked butt.

The young man with a big mouth had a white face, as if he didn't know the cold, he stood barefoot on the doorstep.Staring at Wu Xiuzhai with mung bean eyes, he opened his mouth wide and made the sound of a four-legged snake: "Hey! Where can I get something to eat? Jiuyi is going to starve to death!"

Wu Xiuzhai subconsciously raised his hand and pointed to the side: "There is a kitchen behind the room...there is rice in the kitchen..."

Before Wu Xiuzhai finished speaking, the young man had already taken a step with his back bent.Wu Xiuzhai could see clearly that the boy's butt was stained with blood, and a piece of flesh was missing from the tailbone.

"It seems that this is the real goblin..." Wu Xiuzhai thought in panic, "Fairies and gods are different after all."

From this day on, the gate of Wu's house will no longer be opened.

Enduring the pain, the four-legged snake kept growing its tail, and at the same time took human form, and ran to the kitchen to cook for Jiuyi.Wu Xiuzhai went out every now and then to buy rice, noodles, vegetables and meat.The four-legged snake viciously chopped vegetables, meat and bones, as if Haoyue was lying under the knife—he hated Haoyue to death!

Jiuyi lay on the bed for a long time, at first he couldn't move at all, but after eating and drinking for a few days, he gradually regained some vitality.Haoyue sat cross-legged at the end of the bed regardless of day and night, with an indifferent appearance of meditating, she ignored him, but did not leave him either.

That night, Jiu Yi suddenly spoke.

He said, "You son of a bitch, what did Wu Xiuzhai say to you today? We're on the arrest warrant, aren't we?"

Haoyue sat in the night, very close to Jiu Yi's legs: "Yes."

Jiuyi smiled in the dark: "Interesting."

Haoyue looked up at him: "Interesting?"

Jiuyi's voice was a little hoarse, but he was calm, and his words were very steady: "I haven't been on the arrest warrant yet."

Haoyue lowered her eyes and resumed her indifferent expression: "Boring."

Jiuyi tilted his head and looked at Haoyue who was sitting at the end of the bed: "Hey, puppy, I can't sleep, tell me about your background."

Haoyue looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, dignified like a Buddha or Bodhisattva: "Lu Qingqi has already explained my origin very clearly."

Jiuyi laughed again, feeling that Haoyue's serious and serious appearance was very ridiculous: "Tell me again."

Haoyue shook her head slightly: "There is nothing to talk about. I have no name and surname, and I only have one master. After the master passed away, I walked alone in the rivers and lakes. There is a Taoist priest named Haoyue in the Qingyun Temple on Qingyun Mountain. He is very kind. Good man. That's why I used his name to go to the Wu residence to slay demons that day."

Having said that, he paused, then continued in a low voice: "I also want to be a human being, and be a good human being."

Jiuyi was silent for a moment, and gently slid his fingertips across the soft bed sheet: "Being a human, being a demon, both are alive, what's the difference?"

Haoyue asked: "What about you? I've never seen someone like you, how did you become like this?"

Jiu Yi closed her eyes facing the ceiling: "I won't tell you."

After saying this, he mobilized his left leg and kicked Haoyue lightly.For him, bullying Haoyue is a pleasure, he is unable to stand up, if he can sit up, he would still want to pinch the opponent's slender neck and brush the other's little black hair into a mess.

"Hey." He opened his mouth again: "Let Wu Xiuzhai go out tomorrow to find out what's going on. I reckon I'll be able to get out of bed in two or three days. Lu Qingqi's hoof is really powerful, it's just me, someone else , I had to be kicked into two pieces by him on the spot. I can't afford to mess with such a donkey, so 36 counts are the best, and I can run as fast as I can."

Haoyue pondered for a moment, but then asked rhetorically: "If you can't afford it, why do you want to provoke it?"

Jiuyi laughed in a low voice, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it's not funny: "I have nothing to do, save a pup to play."

Haoyue gritted her teeth, wanting to hold him down and beat him hard, but thinking that he was seriously injured, he might die instantly, so she clenched her fists and endured it again and again, but he still didn't move rashly.

After one night, Wu Xiuzhai went out to buy meat buns and white steamed buns, and came back with a daily newspaper.Since the four-legged snake lost its tail, its body is weak, and it cannot always take human form to serve Jiuyi, so Haoyue shared his errands.He helped Jiuyi sit up and leaned against the head of the bed. He took the meat buns in one hand to feed Jiuyi, and took the newspaper in the other hand to browse at will.

Before Jiuyi finished eating a steamed bun, he shook the newspaper, and suddenly asked "Huh?" in confusion.

Jiuyi noticed his expression, so he said, "What did you see?"

Haoyue looked up at him, and then at Wu Xiuzhai who was standing beside him: "The battle started in Zhili, and it was Bai Xiaokun's first soldier."

Jiu Yi nodded, "The donkey is about to conquer the world."

Haoyue stood up holding the steamed stuffed bun and the newspaper: "No way! I can't let Lu Qingqi live in charcoal!"

Jiu Yi squinted at him: "What do you want?"

Haoyue replied decisively: "Of course we want to stop him—at least drive him away from Bai Xiaokun!"

Jiu Yi stretched out his hand, and took the leftover half of the meat bun from his hand: "My dog—— Haoyue, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and now the whole city of Beijing is under the control of that donkey, who are we? opponent? Listen to me, let’s run first, and then go to the donkey to settle the score after we’ve recovered from this.”

At this moment, Wu Xiuzhai tentatively opened his mouth: "But, how do you run away?"

Haoyue turned her head to look at Jiuyi, who was half lying and half sitting leaning against the head of the bed, with half a bun in her mouth, so one side of her cheek was bulging.He didn't eat or drink less these days, but he was obviously thinner, and his skin was dull gray-white.Really, with such a half-dead Jiuyi, how could they escape?

The words "how to run" were placed on the table, causing Jiu Yi and the others to think about it for a long time.The four-legged snake knew that it was not qualified to place its beak, so it lay flat beside Jiuyi, with a big white steamed bun on its back, ready to be eaten by Jiuyi at any time.After half a day, the two of them discussed with a demon and came up with a solution. This method can be called vulgar. In a word, it is "fleeing in disguise". The two portraits, one of Jiuyi and the other of Haoyue, are painted very similarly.It is really not easy to escape under such circumstances.Fortunately, Lu Qingqi was in the light, and they were in the dark, so after chatting for a long time, they came to an immature idea.
