"Strange things are coming." Chu Chi stared straight ahead.
Suddenly, a black figure scuttled out of the small, foggy path and stared at Chu Chi while roaring wildly.
Chu Chi was shocked, almost running away. He took a closer look and realized that the black shadow from before was actually a black dog. It was at least half the height of a human and was just like a young leopard.
"Haha, look how scared you are. This is Xue Yu's family's' Hei Bao '. Wen Que glanced at Chu Chi who was retreating backwards and laughed out loud.
"Who's afraid!" Chu Chi rolled his eyes at him, pretending to be not afraid, but his feet were ready to slip away anytime.
As soon as he recovered from his severe injuries, he didn't have the ability to rely on his body anymore. Thus, he didn't dare to be careless. If he were to be bitten, he had no choice but to seek justice. Moreover, Doctor Gao had also warned me before that I shouldn't be injured. Since the injury last time, my body had lost a lot of strength and my self-recovery ability had weakened a lot. If he were to put more burden on his body, sooner or later, he would be left with a scar or even a disability.
"Cat!" Behind the Hei Bao, another person ran out. It was a youngster about Wen Que's age, his face was completely black, and his body was as robust as an ox. He was also half a head taller than Wen Que, a typical village male.
Wen Que looked a little malnourished in front of him.
"Xue Yu, why are you here?" Wen Que walked over.
"Your mother said that you disappeared early in the morning. She came to ask me, so I came out to look for you." The teenager called Xue Yu said, "What are you doing in this mountain so early in the morning?"
"I don't know what's going on either. I'm probably sleepwalking." Wen Que scratched his head and said.
"Who is he?" Hairy # 2 took off his jacket and handed it to Wen Que, then asked.
"He's from outside, his name is Chu Chi, he came to the village to look for people." Wen Que introduced the place to Chu Chi as he spoke, "This is Xue Yu. We grew up together. His family has many good dogs, and this Hei Bao is one of them. "
Chu Chi nodded at Xue Yu and smiled. He finally recognized him, he could see that the Hei Bao's eyes were glowing with excitement, it was indeed a rare good dog, but compared to the Da Hui, it was still far off.
"Alright, hurry up and go back. Your mom is already anxious." Xue Yu said.
After Xue Yu appeared, Wen Que left Chu Chi and started chatting with him in the front. Chu Chi followed behind them out of boredom. Looking at the two's intimate feelings, he was a little envious.
This was more or less how a brotherly relationship was.
Coming down from the mountain at the back of the village, a middle-aged woman was already waiting by the side of the road.
"Mom …" Wen Que was very embarrassed, and pushed the middle aged woman away, "I'm fine. "Don't be a joke."
"Uh, uh, uh." Wen Que's mother's eyes were bloodshot, but he could not say a single word. His hands wildly swung around, and he would smile foolishly from time to time.
On the way home, she didn't let go of Wen Que's hand. Wen Que was a little embarrassed in front of his peers, her ears were flushed red, and from time to time, she would pull his hand away from her mother.
Chu Chi walked behind them without a word. He could tell that not only was Wen Que's mother a mute, there was obviously a problem with his intelligence. But even so, he was still envious.
Mom... His throat moved, and two words jumped in his mind.
There were dozens of families living in the small mountain village. The high and low were built according to the terrain.
One of the buildings was rather ancient with gray tiles and grey walls. Upon entering, one could immediately see that the interior of the main hall was continuously lit with incense. There were several rows of memorial tablets, at least over a hundred of them. The names on the spirit tablet were all different names.
It was obvious that this was the ancestral hall of the clan.
"This is my home." Wen Que introduced the place to Chu Chi.
Chu Chi was lost in thought while looking at the tablets, and he became even more envious of Wen Que. The names of the spirit tablets were not just one, but it also meant that it was the origin of the Wen Family. Thinking about himself, other than the name Chu Chi, he had no idea where the inheritance came from.
In this world, do I, Chu Chi, have relatives?
After the automatic Old Man Ao told him of his origins, Chu Chi often thought of this problem. Even now, there was still no news about him, and he had even lost the Old Man Ao.
After entering the house, Wen Que's mother served him some tea and asked him to stay behind as well. He said that he wanted to eat together with him and would go prepare food later.
Xue Yu and Chu Chi had nothing to say, so he just stood to the side and played with the dogs, only sneaking a peek at Chu Chi from time to time. His expression was weird, but Chu Chi did not care, as he knew his attire was weird and was attracting the attention of the people around him.
Chu Chi carried a teacup and walked into the courtyard. He turned his head and once again examined the ancestral hall's spirit tablet. Suddenly, he saw that there was a spirit tablet that was different from the others.
The spirit tablet of the benevolent dog, Yellow-browed.
Needless to say, this yellow-browed man should be a dog. Moreover, he had a very curious expression on his face as he enjoyed the worship of Wen Family.
Presumably, this dog had done a great favor for the Wen Family, so it could get such treatment, right?
Wen Que's mother's hands and feet were nimble, and very quickly, he prepared a sumptuous meal, calling Chu Chi to begin the meal. Although Wen Que's mother was curious about Chu Chi's sudden arrival, he did not ask about it, and only reminded him to eat more, and during the meal, he once again expressed his gratitude to Xue Yu.
Chu Chi was starving and he did not have time to be polite. He ate a few bowls consecutively, and while eating, the "Hei Bao" that was resting on the balcony suddenly ran out of the door. In a short while, it ran in again.
Behind the Hei Bao, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties walked in.
"Your father is back." Wen Que said to Xue Yu, then immediately put down his tableware and went to the entrance, respectfully addressing the middle-aged man.
Wen Que's mother also went up to greet him, her face full of smiles.
On the other hand, Xue Yu did not even raise his head.
Chu Chi understood that the middle-aged man was Xue Yu's father, and he should be called Xue Husheng. However, from the looks of it, there was a gap between the two of them, instead, Wen Que and his mother's attitude towards the middle aged man was much more warm than when they were in the same village.
"I just came back with a few friends. They're at home doing something." Xue Husheng laughed and said, "Is Brother Yi home?"
Wen Que's mother waved his hand, pointing to a place in the distance while babbling.
"Alright, I'll go look for him halfway. I have something to discuss with him." After Xue Husheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Chu Chi's gaze followed him for a bit, but then he suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Chu Chi immediately retracted his gaze and lowered his head to eat.
Xue Husheng paused for a moment, then quickly left.
Chu Chi took a deep breath, and the smell immediately disappeared. He was sure now that Xue Husheng had a unique scent.
Although it was not certain, but the smell was not that of an ordinary person.
However, Chu Chi could not understand why it would be like that. In the past, he could only smell the smell of the beast after his eyes had turned black.
Did his strength increase? Or was it because that person's scent was too strong?
No matter what, it seems like this person called Xue Husheng had to be careful.
"Your relationship with your dad is still so stiff?" Wen Que returned to the table, picked up his bowl and chopsticks once again, and said to Xue Yu in a low voice.
"It's been like this for the rest of my life." Xue Yu said angrily.
"Don't be angry with him." Wen Que laughed and said, "I won't let you go to the city to study. Look at me, after studying for a few years, you can still come back to work as an farmer."
"Let's not talk about him. It will affect my appetite." Xue Yu said depressingly, he then ate another two mouthfuls of rice, since he had no appetite to continue eating, he placed the bowl down and said, "Are you done eating? "So annoying."
"Alright." Wen Que patted Xue Yu's shoulder. Then, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Why don't we go and fry some fish? Didn't you say that this year's fish is especially fat? I haven't eaten fresh River Fish for a long time.
"Not bad. A few days ago, Erzi and the others fired a shot at the river bend and picked up more than ten jin of it. One of them weighed more than three jin and was over a foot long. I've never seen such a big fish before." As he said this, Xue Yu became interested.
Wen Que was also interested, he immediately went to clean up the fishing gear, and took out a square paper box from his room, in a moment he was done.
Wen Que's mother gestured a few times at Wen Que, but Wen Que promised that nothing would happen. Then, Wen Que's mother went to wash the dishes.
"Come, come with us." Wen Que invited Chu Chi.
"Alright." Chu Chi was actually not very interested in fish from the explosion, he was thinking about those friends that Xue Husheng had brought back. He had a strong feeling that the Flower Girl he wanted to find might be among those friends of his.
But if they directly looked for him, the Flower Girl would definitely not take the initiative to appear. If she showed her true abilities, it could only be during the exorcism.
Therefore, on this trip, rather than calling it Flower Girl, it would be better to say that they had to find the location of the Wen Jia Village demon first.
Then, where exactly were the demons?
Was Wen Que's sleepwalking related to demons? Or was it the fierce dog Da Hui?
Chu Chi still couldn't understand, he decided to get to know Wen Que well, explore the village, and then make plans.
