Chapter 189 Provoking the Ghost
At dinner time, everyone made a big pot of rice as usual. Although there was enough base sauce, it was a pity that there was not much meat, so it looked very bland.
Liang Huanxue's family, Zhu Lihua's mother and daughter, and two other families of five were squeezed into a room. They carried their food and ate it quickly.
At this moment, He Chi came in with a bowl of meat and placed it on the middle table: "This tiger meat is a little old, and it's not easy to chew, but it tastes good. You can try it."
Liang Guier ran up eagerly and reached out to grab the meat.
Liang Yuanwang patted Liang Guier's hand and asked, "Who taught you to eat like this?"
Liang Guier shouted anxiously, "There's meat!"
"Even if there is meat, you can't eat it like this." Liang Yuanwang said angrily, and Liang Guier's face was squeezed into a ball.
"Brother Liang, the child has some meat, just let him eat it."
Liang Gui'er nodded in agreement. Liang Ruoyu had evil thoughts and snorted, "My cousin only knows how to eat meat every day. He's not as good as me. I don't eat meat."
In order to compete with Liang Guier, Liang Ruoyu even brought her second brother along: "My second brother doesn't eat it either."
The little girl followed up and shouted: "I don't want to eat either."
Although Liang Ruoyu wanted to beat him up, she finally forgave him: "I won't eat it either."
"I guess you guys have never been hungry." Liang Yuanwang wanted to beat them up.
Shen Yuefu hurriedly grabbed her husband, shook her head, and whispered, "Let the children make as much noise as they like."
Liang Yuanwang was very obedient to his wife and nodded in agreement without saying a word.
The children didn't want to eat it, and the adults were embarrassed to eat it, so Liang Yuanwang refused.
"I'm sorry, the kids are making a fuss. They don't want to eat it, and we adults don't want to let them have their eyes on it. You can take the meat back."
He Chi shook his head regretfully: "What a pity, I can only eat this meat once."
The Liang family and others were not polite either.
The next day, Liang Yuanwang felt sorry for his daughter who was ill, and said, "Wife, why don't we listen to Doctor Zhou's advice?"
As he was talking, He Chi came over, glanced at Liang Huanxue in Shen Yuefu's arms, and said casually: "Look at the look of this kid, I'm afraid she has offended some evil spirits!"
"What accomplice?" Shen Yuefu was at a loss.
He Chi explained: "There are ghosts in the forest. They are the resentment of people who died in the forest. They specifically look for tender children to reincarnate and harm those who travel with them."
The eyes of the people around him suddenly changed.
Shen Yuefu looked unhappy: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my precious daughter be infected with a ghost, you..."
"Mrs. Liang, don't worry. Your daughter's situation is just like she has been attacked by a demon. If you don't believe me, ask my second and third brothers."
"You three are a family, of course..."
Before Shen Yuefu finished speaking, she found that the neighbors who were originally close to her were already moving away.
Shen Yuefu was feeling bitter, Liang Yuanwang said bluntly: "Where do ghosts come from in the world? If there really are ghosts, aren't we scarier than ghosts?"
Liang Yuanwang's words were half joking and half serious, which made the atmosphere less serious, but He Chi seemed uncomfortable.
As soon as Liang Yuanwang spoke, He Chi's attitude softened: "Brother Liang is right. We are a group of people with more resentment than the ghosts. They should be afraid of us."
"Bully the weak and fear the strong."
Suddenly hearing the sound of milk gurgling, Shen Yuefu subconsciously looked at Liang Huanxue in her arms, and was surprised to find that the good girl who had just fallen asleep had woken up without her knowing when.
He Chi's attack came out of nowhere, and Liang Huanxue had a hunch that this guy was not a good person.
But after looking around, I found that in just one night, He Chi's reputation in the team was surprisingly high, and there were many people standing behind him.
Zhu Lihua shuddered, looked at He Chi and then at the Liang family. While she was thinking, Xiao Ya stood up first.
"Uncle, you are lying. My father said that ghosts will not look for children."
Unlike ordinary families who would make up stories about ghosts to scare their children so that they would not go into the woods casually, Xiaoya's father never used these stories to scare Xiaoya.
Xiaoya's father believes that teaching children is not just about scaring them, so when someone scares Xiaoya in this way, he will tell Xiaoya seriously that there are no evil spirits in the world, and even if there are evil spirits, they will not target children.
The little girl grabbed Shen Yuefu's clothes and smiled sweetly: "Auntie, my father also said that good people will be rewarded. Sister Xiaoxue must be tired. She will be fine in two days."
Liang Huanxue was so touched by the little girl that she wanted to hold her in her arms and give her a kiss.
[Damn, I'm not a pervert. ]
Liang Huanxue thought doubtfully, then shook her head to reject the series of ideas.
[No, such a cute girl, everyone likes her, I just have a normal mentality. ]
Even though she was sick, Liang Huanxue was mentally very active.
After hearing Liang Huanxue's little movements, Shen Yuefu felt a little relieved.
Led by her daughter, Zhu Lihua also stood up bravely: "Brother, you are really good at talking. The term 'ghost' is used to scare children. I understand that you want to relax everyone on the road, but your method is not right."
"Mrs. Liang is worried about the child. If you say this, won't you make Mrs. Liang worry?"
When Zhu Lihua spoke, her eyes were not on He Chi, but she spoke every word seriously.
He Chi glanced at Zhu Lihua in surprise, and the people around him relaxed their emotions. He changed his words and said, "Big sister is still very considerate. Alas, it's also my fault. I used the wrong method."
Liang Yuanwang didn't want to hear his voice anymore: "In that case, let's say goodbye. It's time for us to set off."
He Chi stood there, not in a hurry. Soon, someone stood up behind him.
"Brother Liang, doesn't Brother He Chi know a way? If we follow them, we can reach Linjiang City in less than ten days and rescue people faster."
When one person speaks out, countless others will echo him.
Because of what He Chi said just now, the Liang family was not very friendly to him, but they could not do the same to the villagers.
Liang Yuanwang tried his best to hold back his temper: "We have already decided on the route. What if we suddenly change the route and encounter danger? Who will be responsible?"
"Doctor Zhou, please say something." He Chi looked at Doctor Zhou slowly.
Doctor Zhou was in a dilemma, but thinking of the few herbs he had left, he still spoke.
"Liang Yuanwang, I know you are doing this for everyone's good, but we have no choice but to change our route now."
Liang Yuanwang had a headache: "Doctor Zhou, why are you also..."
"Liang Yuanwang," Doctor Zhou interrupted Liang Yuanwang, "There are still many sick people in the team who need medicine. I don't have any here. The new road they proposed can not only get us to the destination faster, but also collect a lot of useful medicine."
He advised earnestly, "Even if not for everyone else, it's for your Xiaoxue. She needs to be fed with medicine for a few more days. I don't have much left."
If Liang Huanxue could hear this, she would definitely ask her father to firmly lead everyone along the originally decided route. As for medicine, she still had a lot of it. Unfortunately, she was really sleepy today and fell asleep right after she finished complaining.
