Chapter 189: It can’t be related to this snake!

Su Nuobai was also very curious when she heard it, so she came over to ask, "Aunt, what happened to Qian's son?"

"Master Su, it's you!"

As soon as she appeared, everyone in the village recognized her. They still remembered how she jumped into the river to save people and helped them deal with the water monkey problem.

Su Nuobai smiled and nodded: "What's going on with what you just said about the Qian family's son?"

"We don't know exactly what happened, but their son has been acting strangely lately. He doesn't go out during the day and covers the windows tightly with cloth at home."

"I heard that he doesn't eat, but sneaks out at night to eat. Last night, he bit all the chickens and ducks in the house to death."

"When the Qian couple heard the noise and went out to check, they saw him eating the dead chickens and ducks, with blood all over his hands and face. They were so scared that they almost fainted."

"When the neighbors next door heard the noise, they thought there were thieves in the village, and when they went to check, they were also shocked."

"Master Su, do you think this man is possessed by an evil spirit?"

Su Nuobai felt like she was possessed by a ghost, but from the description, it didn't seem entirely true: "You'll only know if you see it yourself. I'll go see my mother first."

She left after she said that, without saying when she would come back to see him.

When the villagers saw her coming, they immediately went to find the Qian couple and asked them to go and invite someone.

Gong Fan's house has been renovated. Although it is not a large brick and tile house, it is quite neat.

Luo was sitting in the yard mending clothes. Her face was rosy and she smiled much more often than when she was in the Su Mansion.

It can be seen that Gong Fan treats her very well, so she doesn't have to worry about her.

"mother."

When Luo heard the voice, she looked up and saw her standing at the door.

She quickly dropped the clothes in her hands, stood up and ran towards her: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? There's no food prepared at home."

"Just wait, I'll ask your Uncle Gong Fan to buy some meat and vegetables, and I'll cook for you."

Su Nuobai held her hand and said, "Mom, I brought some food with me. Don't worry about me getting hungry. I just missed you and wanted to come and see you."

The expression on Mrs. Luo's face softened. "Child, you can come anytime you want. Uncle Gong Fan has reserved a room for you."

"He even specifically asked me about my preferences, but I couldn't really tell you, and I don't know if you like the layout."

As she spoke, she pulled her to the door of a room, opened it and let her see.

The interior is decorated according to what girls like. The things are not the best, but you can see that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Su Nuobai felt warm in her heart: "Mom, you know I can't come here often, so it's enough for me to come and see you occasionally."

"I know you are busy, but you have to take good care of yourself. If you are not busy, come and stay for a while." Luo raised her hand and touched her head.

Su Nuobai smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll come and stay for a while when I'm not busy. Is Uncle Gong Fan good to you?"

"Okay, he treats me very well." Luo said with a smile.

Su Nuobai could tell from her face, but hearing her say it herself made him feel more at ease.

When the people from the Luo family knew she was coming, they all ran over.

Gong Fan also hurried back from the field: "Nuonuo, I'm going to buy some meat and vegetables, you guys chat first."

"Uncle Gong Fan, stop busying yourself. I brought some food when I came here. I'll treat you all today." She smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

Various foods were taken out from a small bag and placed on the whole table, including several jars of good wine.

A group of people were having a lively meal when the Qian couple came to the door.

"Su, Master Su." Qian Youcai's face was full of fear.

Gong Fan and the others all knew about the recent events in the Qian family, but since Su Nuobai rarely came back, they didn't want to disturb her because of this.

Su Nuobai looked at them and saw that there was no evil aura around them, so they probably didn't attract any ghosts.

"Grandpa, Mom, you guys eat first, I'll be back soon."

"We'll wait for you to come back." Luo looked at her with a smile.

"Okay." Su Nuobai stood up and walked towards the gate.

She looked at Qian Youcai and said, "Let's go to your house."

Qian Youcai looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Su, we came here just after you arrived."

"It's okay. Since we've met, it's fate between your family and me. Let's go and take a look first." Su Nuobai said and let them lead the way.

Qian was still terrified. She had been really scared these past few days. "Master Su, do you think my son has been possessed by some evil spirit?"

"Whether it's a dirty thing or not, I'll have to see it first, but there's no yin energy on you, so it shouldn't be a ghost or something like that."

Su Nuobai thought for a moment and asked, "When did this situation start?"

Qian Youcai frowned and thought seriously, "It was five days ago. He came back from collecting firewood in the mountains that day, and something seemed off in the evening."

"At first my wife and I didn't notice it. We thought he had collapsed from exhaustion while collecting firewood in the mountains, but the next day he had covered all the windows."

"He won't go out anymore. No matter how we call him, he won't come out. He won't even eat."

"We put the food at his door, but he didn't come out to eat. At night, my husband and I heard noises in the kitchen and thought there was a burglar in the house."

"When we lit the oil lamp, we saw him eating with his back to us. We didn't think much of it at the time, thinking he was hungry and looking for something to eat."

"When we went to the kitchen the next day, we found many dead rats on the floor."

"We were wondering why there were so many dead rats in our house, and thought maybe a stray cat had put them in our kitchen."

"We even had a fight with the villagers who owned cats over this, and the situation continued for several days afterwards."

"It wasn't until yesterday when we saw my son biting chickens and ducks to death and gnawing on their carcasses in the yard that we realized all the dead rats in the house were eaten by my son."

Qian Youcai looked around with some fear when he said this: "I saw my son's eyes looked weird last night, not like a human at all."

"The way he looked at us was so penetrating. I was really afraid he would eat our whole family tonight."

Su Nuobai looked at the two of them and asked, "Did he tell me anything special happened when he came back from the mountains?"

Qian Youcai frowned and recalled carefully, then turned to look at Qian: "Do you remember what he said happened?"

Qian also tried hard to recall, muttering softly, "He said he had good luck collecting firewood in the mountains this time. He seemed to have encountered a very thick snake."

"Yes, yes, yes. I remember that day he said he encountered a very thick snake and killed it. My family doesn't eat snake meat, so he sold the snake to a restaurant in town."

"I think we got a penny of silver in exchange. We were quite happy at the time. Master Su, could this be related to this snake?"
