Chapter 157

"Woof, woof, woof" Looking at the maid who fell to the ground, Dudu tilted her head in confusion, her nose twitched twice, and her voice became hesitant.

"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"

"Ah, it seems to be okay...right?" Qin Huan hugged Bei Qiao's waist uncertainly: Ah, this muscle feels so good!

Bei Qiao silently lifted Qin Huan's hand and put it on his shoulder: Since you are so scared, I won't tell you the truth for now... Why do you keep touching me?

"You, what's going on?" Ying'er turned her head to look at the night watch maid kneeling on the ground: Shouldn't you be on night watch outside at this time?

"Miss, Sister Ying'er, Sister Ying'er, I, I..." The night watch maid who fell to the ground looked at Qin Huan with a dull expression, then looked at Ying'er: Didn't I just accidentally take a nap outside the door? How come I came into the room in the blink of an eye?

"She seems to know nothing." Qin Huan rested his chin on Bei Qiao's shoulder.

"It seems so." Bei Qiao helplessly stretched out his index finger to poke Qin Huan's face to the side: "Why are you so familiar with me?" All in all, we have only known each other for less than two months.

Qin Huan: Who's being so familiar? Aren't you my cousin? My whole family is my witness. Even if we go to the government to investigate, they can only find out that you are really my distant cousin, with my father's endorsement.

Qin's father: Filial piety, I can't laugh.

"Miss, do you need me to interrogate her now?" Ying'er pressed the sword on the shoulder of the night watch maid, who sat slumped on the ground, shaking like a sieve, and cold sweat was coming out.

"Ask." Qin Huan yawned. "Keep quiet. There's no need to rush to report."

"Yes." Ying'er picked up the night watch maid with the hand that was not holding the sword, and prepared to drag her outside for interrogation: If you are not in a hurry, then try to ask as many details as possible, and report back after the young lady wakes up the next day.

The night watch maid who was grabbed was so frightened that she almost shook with fear, but she did not dare to resist. The maids and servants who were on guard at other locations heard the commotion and tried to eavesdrop. After being glared at by Ying'er three times, they reluctantly retreated.

Giving the others a look to keep quiet, Ying'er lowered her head and stared at the night watchwoman, wondering how to start. On the surface, the night watchwoman seemed fine, but it was impossible to let her off just because of that. Even if Qin Huan wasn't in trouble, the night watchwoman shouldn't have been in the house without permission. If the cause of this incident wasn't clarified, it would be too late to remedy the situation if something really happened later.

"Woof!" Dudu watched the night watch maid being carried out. He wagged his tail slowly twice and lowered his head to sniff the ground: "Woof woof woof!"

"Dudu..." Bei Qiao's face turned serious: The last time Dudu cried like this, but...

"Hmm?" Ying'er, who was closest to Dudu, seemed to have seen something. She grabbed the candlestick on the table and leaned over to examine it. A drop of scalding wax dripped from the candlestick and landed right in front of Dudu. A strange scream accompanied it, and a wooden stick suddenly sprang up from the ground, screaming "Hot, hot, hot" as it hopped around the room.

"Woof woof!" Dudu bared his teeth at the wooden stick.

"Oh! Monster!" Ying'er took two steps back after accidentally hitting the monster, put down the candlestick and looked around: What weapon should I use to hit the monster more painfully?

Yao Beiqiao put his hand on his waist, pulled out the soft sword and swung it to the side: Why is there another monster? Is it related to the monster that attacked the village before?

A monster... Qin Huan raised his hand with boredom and touched the amulet around his neck: If there is no insider, this monster can sneak in quietly, which can only mean one thing... Its attack power is too low, so low that it can't even stimulate the normal operation of the protective formation outside the door.

Of course, this doesn't mean that monsters won't pose a threat to humans. There are spells that don't have enough attack power but are still quite threatening, so it's still necessary to be cautious. There's no need to get too close and get killed. Just find a professional to do it.

"These monsters are so annoying! They won't let me sleep in the middle of the night!" Just when Bei Qiao was concentrating on being on guard, a little Taoist priest lying on a flying magic weapon appeared at Qin Huan's door with his eyes closed, pinched his fingers and flicked his wrist.

With a whoosh, the wooden sticks that had been bouncing around the room were pinned to the wall by a streak of golden light. The fierce golden light smashed the sticks into uneven planks, but did not cause the slightest damage to the wall. After hitting the wall, they immediately shattered into golden points of light, raining a fleeting golden rain across the room.

The little Taoist priest came and left quickly. Without waiting for anyone in the room to speak, she controlled the magic weapon and left. During the whole process, she had no intention of speaking, and she didn't even open her eyes.

Ying'er, who had just picked up a stool to beat the monster, was stunned for a moment, quickly put down the stool and ran over to close the door to block the wind: Fortunately, I forgot to close the door when I came in just now. With the temper of the young Taoist priest, it is absolutely impossible for him to open the door by himself. He would just bang on the door and leave after beating him, leaving the miserable door panel swaying on the door frame.

The night watchwoman, dragged to the courtyard, sat crooked on the ground, stunned as the young Taoist priest came and went. She also heard the inhuman screams emanating from the room. Coming to her senses, she broke out in a cold sweat again: "A demon! Could it be that a demon was hiding in me earlier, and I brought it into the young lady's room? Help! I'm not being mistaken for an accomplice, am I?"

Ying'er frowned: "Why are you shaking? I'm asking you a question!" Is she planning to play dumb or faint?

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" If it weren't for Ying'er's fierce look, the night watch maid would have rushed over and hugged her thighs and cried, "Sister, it's unfair! I didn't do anything, I just took a nap!"

"I asked you to keep watch, but you actually dozed off." Is keeping watch meant for you to sleep?

"Uh..." Damn it, I let it slip.

Seeing Ying'er close the door, Dudu also quieted down again. Bei Qiao lowered his head to tidy up his soft sword, and at the same time dodged Qin Huan's hand that tried to pat his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Bei Qiao: Looking at the situation, it seems like there is no place for me to use my skills.

"What do you think?" Qin Huan slapped Qin Huan's abdominal muscles with an incredible expression: "You actually carry a soft sword with you when you sleep at night. Who are you guarding against?"

Bei Qiao sighed: "Put your hands down before you speak." Although I'm not deliberately on guard against you, but... what you say now is not convincing at all.

"I've let it go, so what?"

"Then it's time to go to bed. It's already the late night. Aren't you tired of staying awake like this?" Bei Qiao took the initiative to offer the steps.

"...That's right." Qin Huan took the step and crawled back into his quilt: Is this the body shape that comes from exercise? If I had persisted at the beginning... Well, I couldn't persist. After all, my talent is not here.

"Doesn't this monster need to be dealt with?" Bei Qiao glanced at the wooden stick embedded in the wall: He just left it alone after using his ultimate move. Although the little Taoist priest dealt with the monster, he didn't take it away. He didn't know whether he forgot about it because he was in a daze and fell asleep, or the monster was so badly injured that it could no longer cause any harm.

"Miss... don't worry. Since the Taoist priest didn't care, it means that there will be no danger in the subsequent finishing work." Ying'er tucked the corner of the quilt for Qin Huan, took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and used tools to pick the wooden sticks that had turned into boards off the wall and put them in a wooden box covered with yellow paper.

The flat and uneven wooden stick was clamped by Ying'er with an iron pincer. The whole monster was confused. Facing the sudden attack that just happened to counter it, it had no time to dodge. As a result, it lost most of its life on the spot after being hit. At this time, it had little power to resist against mortals.

"We have to be prepared for any eventuality." Bei Qiao took out the wooden sign from her bag and was about to get out of bed when Ying'er stopped her: "Don't worry, miss. I'm already here."

Bei Qiao nodded and pressed the wooden sign onto the stick. The stick, which was still trembling slightly, twitched on the spot and then completely stopped moving.

Qin Huan, lying in bed with one eye open, said: It's as safe as ever.

Stick Monster: First of all, I am not a stick monster. Secondly... although I am not a human, you are too mean!

Watching Bei Qiao put the wooden sign away, Ying'er picked up the box and walked out. When she pushed the door open, she almost bumped into a shadow passing by. "Wow, you scared me... You finished asking so quickly!"

"She's not a very brave person to begin with. I didn't need to scare her. She just cried and told me everything. Is the young lady asleep?"

"No, come in and talk." Qin Huan sat up again.

Ying'er tossed the night watchwoman, who had been tied up like a dumpling, aside and walked into the house to report the results of the previous interrogation. The night watchwoman herself was fine, but her mind had been bewitched by the demon. If she hadn't been awakened by external stimulation later, she might have made a serious mistake.

Of course, the premise for a big mistake to happen is that Black Dog has not woken up, Bei Qiao and Ying'er are unable to resist the enemy effectively, the amulet is ineffective, and other members of the Qin family fail to come to the rescue in time, which is obviously impossible.

"This girl's fortune is too weak." Ying'er turned around and glanced outside the door: "Her father is so bold that he actually dares to play tricks on her fortune." In order to ensure safety, the Qin family will look at the face and ask about the fortune before hiring anyone. In addition to people with bad character, people with weak fortunes are also not wanted, because such people can easily be controlled by unclean things and then cause a lot of trouble.

Take today as an example. Because the fate was too weak, the night watch maid was easily controlled and concealed from the other people on duty. If it weren't for Ying'er and the Taoist priest, it's hard to say what would happen to Qin Huan.

Qin Huan: Huh? Is it just me? My escape speed is pretty good!

"So, the horoscope on the roster is not her real horoscope." Qin Huan's face looked a little bad.

"She herself is not particularly sure. Her father said this when he was drunk." But looking at the situation today, it is most likely true.

"Forget it. First, kick her out of the yard and hand her over to the steward. If Mother isn't asleep, tell her about this." Qin Huan yawned. "Ask again. If they don't find anything, have them go back to the farm. If they do find something... then we'll settle all the old and new accounts together!"
