Chapter 31: Midnight Eat

In the evening, a maid led Ji Changkong and Bei Ran to the guest room specially prepared for them. In a private room in the south courtyard, the room is clean and spacious, it is a good place to stay, and it is not far from Jingwu.

But when Beiran saw it, he was dumbfounded - there was only one room! Thinking about it, Jingwu told Master Zhang that they were husband and wife, so normally, only one room would be prepared for them.

The maid said: "Miss Childe, this is the guest room specially prepared by my lord for the two of you, it is all cleaned up, if you have nothing to do, you can rest early." ”

Bei Ran stood at the door hesitating whether to go in, Ji Changkong saw her doubts, in order not to let outsiders see the clues, he took her hand, led her into the house, and said to the little girl: "Thank you girl, we will rest here, please go back to rest early." ”

The little maid said: "Okay, son, then I will step down, if the two of you have anything at night, you can call me, I will live in the side courtyard at the back, I can hear it." ”

Ji Changkong said: "Thank you." Then the maid bowed, and then withdrew, and closed the door for them as she went.

Bei Ran looked at the inner room with only one bed, and said, "There is only one bed here, we ......"

Ji Changkong glanced at it casually and said, "It's okay, you go to bed, I'll just rest on this couch." ”

Although only one room was prepared for them, which made the situation of the two a little embarrassing, it was okay to do so, they were here to investigate, not to play, and it was more convenient to communicate and discuss in one room. Moreover, if they really want to separate, Ji Changkong will inevitably have to worry about the safety of Qi Beiran, after all, there is a demon in this mansion, and he doesn't know what his intentions are.

Either way, shemales have different paths. Within the Six Realms, all living beings from all walks of life have not yet been harmonious enough to coexist peacefully. People love bustling cities and gather people to live in groups, while demons like mountains and deep forests and go alone. Therefore, where this person lives, there should not be a demon, and if it does, it is most likely because of bad intentions.

When she was about Mozi, Beiran was already asleep in bed, and Ji Changkong was guarding beside her, and she always slept soundly. And Ji Changkong leaned on the couch with one hand and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly sensing the smell of activity outside the house, Ji Changkong opened his eyes and said, "Come in." ”

Then, a man dressed in white softly pushed the door in, and then closed the door with his backhand, it was Keigo.

Jingwu went to Ji Changkong's side and said, "I haven't slept yet." ”

Seeing that it was him coming, Ji Changkong was not surprised, and said, "If you don't come again, I will also go to find you." ”

During the day, they did not discuss the results, and the reason was that there were too few clues. But there are many people during the day, and it is not convenient to check things, so I want to wait until the dead of night to make plans. He knew that Jingwu must have thought the same way, and they had always tacitly understood many things, so they waited here.

"There are no clues there at the beginning of the day, let's start with that Huangshan, he is a demon, and the things here will be more or less related to him. Weasels are used to moving at night, so we're going to observe them tonight. ”

Keigo nodded, he looked at the sleeping North Dye on the bed and said, "Then what should she do?" Do you want to go along? ”

Ji Changkong also turned his head to look at her, and said, "No, it's inconvenient to take her to work, just let her rest here." ”

Then he got up and walked to the side of the bed, and with a wave of his sleeves, the whole bed was wrapped in a layer of blue fluorescent barrier, and there was a faint sound of electricity. When the barrier was closed, it hid itself from the blue light, becoming colorless and transparent, so that no one could see that there was anything there.

After setting up the barrier, Ji Changkong and Jingwu went out of the door and went to the weasel demon's residence.

It seems that this weasel's status in the mansion is really not low, and he is alone in the courtyard.

Keigo is always good at these little things to find out the news, and after staying here for nearly two days, he has figured out many things.

For example, at the beginning of the heart rate overspeeding, after Jingwu was pretended to be pulled into the sedan chair, he began to create an atmosphere of peace and security, and then it didn't take long for him to chat with those sedan chair drivers and entourage, not to mention their names, and even gave him a clear idea of where their hometown was.

He inquired that this Miss Zhang had been weak and sick since she was a child, and she had to rely on medicine to continue her life all the year round, and she had to put on a big jacket to keep out the cold in June.

One day three years ago, this Taoist priest named Huangshan came to the mansion and said that he knew some medical skills, and maybe he could cure the young lady's illness. Originally, Master Zhang didn't believe it, but thinking that a dead horse would be used as a live horse doctor, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so he handed the young lady over to him. I don't know what strange medicine he used, but I didn't expect that he really cured Miss's illness for him.

In addition to medical skills, he also knows some martial arts. He said that although the young lady was cured, her foundation was very weak, and it was best to follow him to learn some martial arts to strengthen her body. Later, Miss Zhang worshipped him as a master, and followed him to practice some boxing and swordsmanship every morning and dusk, and sure enough, after a few months, Miss's spirit was much better, no different from ordinary people.

He was really dedicated to his apprentice, not only cured her illness in practical actions, taught her the kung fu of physical fitness, but also suggested that Master Zhang should do more good deeds and accumulate blessings and virtues for the young lady from an objective point of view. The lord also listened, and since then, whether it is the hungry people who have fled the famine or the orphans who live on the streets, they have all taken them in, arranged the work, and gradually became the great good people in this city.

The old lady was very happy when she saw this, and regarded him as a benefactor from heaven to their family, and thanked him in every way. So, he stayed in the mansion and was treated as a secretary by the master of the Zhang family. He said that he was used to being quiet alone, so Master Zhang rowed the entire north courtyard for him to live in, which was extremely luxurious, and only had someone come to clean it every morning.

After hearing this, Ji Changkong smiled, Jing Wu's business ability is still so strong.

The two of them climbed onto the roof of the bedroom, uncovered a piece of tiles and looked in, and the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. As their eyes got used to the darkness, they were able to see things clearly, the furnishings of the house, the candlesticks on the ledges, and the position of the bed. Not surprisingly, Huang Shan was really not in the room, and the bed was empty.

Weasels usually lie dormant at night, and even if they have refined their human form, this habit will not change.

Jingwu said: "He's not in the room, he must have gone out to do evil, if we don't go to other places to see, maybe we can catch him." ”

At the first glance of him, Ji Changkong and Jingwu classified him as a monster who did a lot of evil, and it was not groundless.

Even if it's a demon, the look of a person who has harmed and those who haven't harmed people is different. This Huangshan, the thirst for fresh flesh and blood in his eyes, and the resentment in his bones, all show that he must be bloodthirsty.

Ji Changkong said: "Wait a little longer. ”

The two continued to stay on the roof, keeping a close eye on the inside of the house.

About a quarter of an hour later, a cabinet as big as the wall placed against the wall in the room suddenly made a sound, Ji Changkong and Jingwu glanced at each other, and said, "I'm back!" ”

The cabinet turned out to be a secret door, and I don't know where it leads. Huang Shan walked out from behind the cabinet and closed the door again, carrying a black package in his hand. He walked over to the dining table, lit the candle on it, and opened the package.

Seeing the contents clearly, Jingwu was disgusted, and he raised his hand to slash down and kill the weasel on the spot. Ji Changkong's eyes quickly pressed him, shook his head and signaled him not to startle the snake, take a look first.

The big black cloth was wrapped in a black wooden box, which contained a fist-sized heart that was still dripping with blood. Looking closely, the heart was still beating slightly, it was a fresh heart that had just been cut out of a living body, and judging from the size of the heart, there was no doubt that it was a human heart.

Huang Shan held the heart in his hand, perhaps he was too excited to smell the blood, and he opened his big mouth, revealing the two long, sharp fangs in his mouth. Then he craned his neck, shook his head, and let out a strange cry in his throat, turning back into his weasel face. At the same time, the nails on his hands grew and finally reverted to the yellow-haired weasel claws.

Jingwu sneered: "Disgusting ghost thing, you have to change your form after a supper." ”

The Huangshan held the human heart, licked his tongue, his eyes were glowing with hungry green, and he couldn't wait to lower his head to bite, and his heart, which was already dripping blood, was bitten by him, and the blood that was still left inside the heart suddenly spurted out, splashing half of his face with blood. And he didn't seem to care at all, but enjoyed the pleasure of tearing apart his prey, and ate one bite after another, until his face and paws were full of blood. Some of the yellow hairs were glued together with blood, and a large patch of hair was discolored, and it was dripping everywhere on the table.

Bloody! Disgusting!

After eating his heart, he licked his hand and licked the remaining blood on it, but it was not wasted at all. After eating and drinking, he took off the black coat he was wearing, wiped his face with it, wiped his hands again, threw it on the table, and turned back into the white-faced little student.

If you call someone to come, just looking at this face, no one will think of what disgusting and outrageous things he has just done, this is really a well-dressed beast.

After supper, he blew out the candles, walked to the bedside, took off his shoes, poured them down, and fell asleep.

Jingwu swore that if it weren't for Ji Changkong pulling him all the time, he wouldn't care about the overall situation, put a long line, and catch big fish, and he would definitely let the man-eating goblin survive tonight. In the past, he also killed some demons who fed on people, but those were also eating people whole, not as hateful as the one in front of him.

Thinking of this, Jingwu reacted to one thing and asked Ji Changkong: "You said, this person's heart was dug up and eaten by him, what about the body, where did he put the body?" ”

Ji Changkong said: "It must not be eaten by him, if he eats people and eats everything, then he doesn't have to go to great lengths, bring his heart back to the room to eat, and eat it together at the scene; It won't be hidden, people will definitely die if they are dissected, and the smell of blood is extremely strong, and someone around him will definitely find out, and he will not take this risk. Then it can only be to throw the corpse, depending on the freshness of the hearts of the people he brought back, the place where the corpse was thrown will not be too far, tomorrow we will find an opportunity to go out of the house and find out which family has died nearby. ”

Jingwu said: "It makes sense, just do it." ”

Although it is not yet possible to directly kill this weasel and eliminate harm to the people, there is still something to be gained from this trip, at least, they know that this weasel is indeed a scourge and must be punished.

After discussing the countermeasures, the two went back to their rooms separately.

Pushing open the door, Beiran was still asleep on the bed, his lips moved slightly as if he was talking in a dream, and after saying a sentence, he seemed to be suddenly a little angry, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he turned over with a sob. Ji Changkong returned to the wooden couch where he had rested before, and looked at her sleeping appearance, with a smile on his face.

Not long after turning over, Bei Dye turned it back again, I don't know if it was a quarrel with someone in a dream, he said something vaguely in his mouth, and his hand also moved, swinging left and right, and then he simply pounced on his whole body, as if he wanted to have a hungry tiger pounce. But when she pounced, there was no food, and she was clearly going to roll under the bed.

Ji Changkong was startled, and immediately flew forward, and finally caught her before she touched the ground. But Ji Changkong himself fell to the ground solidly, and was smashed by a person as big as Bei Ran, grinning in pain.

I thought that such a big movement, but Bei Ran was also woken up by herself. Who knows, when I looked at her in a blink of an eye, she was still sleeping on him peacefully, without any consciousness, and her little face was close to Ji Changkong's chest.

Seeing this scene, Ji Changkong sighed silently, turned over, carried her back to the bed, and covered the quilt.

In order to prevent her from falling into bed again in the middle of the night, he also went to bed and lay down beside her. After hesitating for a long time, he reached out and put his arm around her waist from behind, wrapped her in his arms, buried his head in her neck socket, and after a while, he also fell asleep.
