Chapter 161: Packing to Visit Wife and Children
Seeing the man nod, the village chief hurriedly let him in: "Sir, please take a seat."
Fu Yanzhi came in, but did not go into the house. He just sat in the wind and snow, listening to the village chief carefully describe the strange things in the village.
Because there were strangers in the yard, the children all hid back in the house and looked out through the cracks in the windows and doors.
Shao Qiaolan felt that the children's behavior was not very nice, so she stopped them in time, brought some food and pushed the door open to go forward.
As a result, I saw the man in white clothes in the wind and snow. His eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and there were white snowflakes falling in his hair. He looked like a god in the snow.
Shao Qiaolan blushed immediately, silently put down the food, turned around and ran back to the house.
This person is so handsome.
The village chief explained the whole incident in detail. Fu Yanzhi first lit a talisman and checked the entire village, but found that there was no evil spirit.
"Has anyone come to the village recently?"
"Here they are! A mother and child have arrived. The mother is beautiful, and the child is also good-looking, looking like the chubby babies in New Year pictures. However, the woman has been suffering from morning sickness lately and has been vomiting a lot, so she doesn't go out much, so we haven't paid much attention to them."
Fu Yanzhi nodded: "There is no evil spirit in the village, the village chief can rest assured."
The village chief was still worried: "Then why are all the animals in the mountains running into the village these days?"
"Maybe..." Fu Yanzhi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, "Maybe someone who is particularly good at hunting came, and he just ran for his life."
The village chief choked.
Someone who is particularly good at hunting?
Could Mr. Fu be referring to that mother and son? It seemed like they had gone up the mountain once and stayed indoors ever since. His daughter-in-law said the woman had severe morning sickness and was nearly unable to stand.
However, it was true that this was the only outsider family that had recently come to the village, so the village chief told Fu Yanzhi everything about it.
Fu Yanzhi nodded: "I'll go and take a look."
The village chief hesitated and wanted to keep Fu Yanzhi at home for dinner. The table was full of food, emitting a hot and fragrant aroma. He was afraid that Fu Yanzhi would be cold, so he lit several charcoal braziers in the house, and the whole room was warm as spring.
Are you leaving now?
It’s snowing so heavily?
The village chief still couldn't bear it, so he invited him, "Sir, please stay home for dinner. All this is specially made for you."
The man in white shirt who had already walked into the snow stopped and turned to look at the village chief. In the wind and snow, the man's handsome profile was stained with snowflakes, almost blending into the snowy night.
He just stood there, like a god of the snowy mountains.
The village chief suddenly didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the person in front of him.
When he thought Fu Yanzhi would leave without saying a word, Fu Yanzhi spoke.
He said, "Made it especially for me?"
The village chief nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir, this is all made specially for you."
Fu Yanzhi nodded, seeming to be very satisfied. The village chief looked at him with hope. If the legendary Mr. Fu could stay for dinner, it would not be in vain for him to be busy preparing for so long.
Then, he heard the otherworldly snow-capped mountain god say, "Pack it up for me."
village head:"……"

The snow was still falling outside the window. Xie Zaozao had already snuggled up in the quilt with Xiao Xingsu in her arms. There were various foods made with honey and honey barbecue on the table.
Chestnuts were roasting in a charcoal brazier in the room, and the sweet aroma filled the entire room. Xiao Xingsu lay on Xie Zaozao's knees, staring at the brazier greedily.
But he was still a little worried: "Mom, don't you feel sick when you smell this?"
Xie Zao Zao lazily lay on the bed: "I have already vomited today's portion, but luckily I have honey."
It was worth it that she searched the entire mountain, and now she finally felt relieved.
"Xingxu, today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year. At midnight, it's time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."
"Can the past year come back?"
"Of course, we can't go back. We must remember all the good things that happened this year, because they will never come back."
Xiao Xingsu suddenly felt a little sad and nestled in Xie Zaozao's arms and refused to come out. Xie Zaozao yawned, picked up a piece of red paper from the bedside, took out a pair of scissors and started cutting.
"We all have to cut paper-cuts during the Chinese New Year. Mommy will cut one for you."
The system was very surprised: "Host, you actually know how to use these little gadgets to coax children?"
Xie Zaozao thought lazily that she had just seen other mothers in the village cutting things for their children to play with, so she made some too.
Little Xingsu became happy and went over to watch Xie Zaozao cutting things.
Xie Zaozao quickly cut one and put it into Xing Su's hand.
Little Xingsu looked down excitedly: "Wow, Mommy is so great, this... this, is it an egg? Hmm..."
Xie Zaozao: “…”
System: "Master, what did you cut?"
Xie Zao Zao withdrew his gaze from the honey jar on the table and said calmly, "It's just a bun cut."
She lazily curled up in bed again, thinking that she should focus on taking care of the children, as she was really not good at these things.
"Xingsu, let me teach you the exorcism spell. I'll teach you once, and you'll peel a chestnut for me to eat."
Xiao Xingsu nodded, turned around, took a pair of tongs, and searched for chestnuts in the charcoal brazier. If there were any broken ones, he would put them on a small plate, pick them up and walk over.
He blinked his big eyes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I'll peel some chestnuts for you to eat. Don't spit them out."
Xie had taught him a simple exorcism spell early on.
"On New Year's Eve, everyone stays at home and doesn't wander around outside. This is also the time when demons forage for food. If they can't find any food, they will hide near the village and wait for the opportunity."
The moment of reunion is also the most dangerous moment.
"An exorcism spell not only drives away demons, but also prevents them from hiding near you if the spell is strong enough."
Xiao Xingsu nodded and imitated Xie Zaozao's hand gestures. A faint purple halo jumped directly onto the wall. Then, a slight commotion was heard outside. Xie Zaozao motioned Xiao Xingsu to go to the window and look.
Then I saw a slender black figure crawling out from the yard fence and blending into the darkness and out of sight.
"Mom, I saw it!" Little Xingsu was startled. He quickly closed the window, ran all the way, climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt, leaving only a pair of big blinking eyes exposed.
Xie Zao Zao waved his hand: "With mother here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"No matter what monsters come, mother can kill them all by herself——"
After saying that, he drew out Junhua, made a few sword flowers in the room, and stabbed towards the door.
Almost at the same time, the door was suddenly opened, and the wind mixed with snowflakes blew in, and the smell of ice and snow was everywhere.
A man in white shirt stood at the door, with two big-eared rabbit Shikigami at his side, standing in the wind and snow with a pile of pots and pans in his arms.
He looked around the room quietly and said, "Excuse me, I'd like to stay here for one night."
